Needless to say, the feeling of opening an establishment and taking charge of a side must be wonderful!
Especially since it also controls the shipping lanes like the Kingdom of Whirlpool, it has the advantage of shipping.
The shogunate city built under the supervision of Uzumaki Ashina was also completed in a short time. Uchiha Tokumitsu named the city Fubo Castle, and even the castle tower on the city faced the direction of Kirigakure.
Although the time is not yet ripe to break into Kirigakure and capture the age spots alive, Uchiha Tokumitsu has been reminding himself not to forget his original intention.
As the business of the Uchiha clan and the Kirigakure ninja clan grew bigger and bigger, Uchiha Tokumitsu's income also increased. He continued to invest funds in laboratory research, and the research results produced were also impressive.
At the same time, the secret shipyard also built the first iron-hulled ship in the ninja world based on Uchiha Tokumitsu's idea.
Although it still uses hybrid power from sailboats and paddles, its defensive power is still much higher than Kirigakure's Azaya ship.
If they fight again, Uchiha Tokumitsu is confident that he will send all the Kirigakure fleet into the sea to feed the fish.
It's just that underwater combat is still an unresolved problem. After all, there are not many ninjas in Konoha who are well-connected to water and are good at diving. The Uchiha ninjas who are good at fire escape are even less powerful at sea.
But a sudden edict broke Uchiha Tokko's little luck.
In May of the thirty-seventh year of Konoha, without notifying the shinobi villages of their own country, the daimyo of the land of fire and the daimyo of the water country suddenly jointly issued an end-of-war edict, announcing that the two countries had ended the state of war and resumed peaceful exchanges. At the same time, the water country One billion taels will be compensated to the Fire Country.
In addition, the Daimyo of the Country of Water also recognized that it was legitimate and legal for Uchiha Tokko to establish a shogunate in the Country of Whirlpool to control and control small countries such as the Country of Waves and the Country of the Sea.
In order to restore peace, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water even lost face...
Although the post-war agreement was not signed by the Kage of each village like the First Ninja War, at least in Uchiha Tokumitsu's view, there are no problems with this end-of-war edict for the time being...
no problem?
"This is a big problem!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was furious, "This is a peace negotiation that is humiliating and humiliating the country!"
"Lord Tokuguang, it is the Kingdom of Water that has surrendered in disguise..."
The Uchiha jounin who came under his command to deliver the message said weakly.
"I know!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu took another look at the content of the edict and said, "One billion to send away beggars!"
"The daimyo also paid an additional one billion, and allocated it to the village as war dividends to be distributed to the ninjas participating in the war..."
The Uchiha Jonin added in a low voice.
"you……"
Uchiha Tokumitsu was so angry that he kicked the table in front of him until it broke. "This has seriously affected our smuggling business!"
The Uchiha jounin lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
Every Uchiha clan member knows the importance of the deal with the Kirigakure ninja clan.
Although the two countries did not continue to fight before, they were always in a state of war. Therefore, the Eastern Border Defense Force blocked all ports in the eastern part of the Country of Fire. Except for small fishing boats, other ships resolutely implemented the "No pieces of fish are allowed to enter the sea" order issued by Uchiha Tokimitsu.
Because of this, the scale of the smuggling trade between the Uchiha clan and the Kirigakure ninja clan is growing day by day, and it can be said that the amount of money made per day is small.
This is also the premise for the Uchiha tribe to maintain high-intensity combat readiness even when they rarely perform entrusted tasks.
The most important thing is that if peace is restored between the two countries, the Uchiha clan and the Kirigakure ninja clan will no longer be able to make money through monopoly trade.
Besides, when it comes to financial resources and formal business competition, the Uchiha clan and the Kirigakure ninja clan are really no match for those noble businessmen.
The reason why the daimyo nobles chose to negotiate a peace privately was because their interests were seriously damaged.
Driven by the Uchiha clan and the Kirigakure ninja clan, and under the temptation of huge benefits. Smuggling has also become common in other ninja villages, and normal business transactions are controlled by ninjas. The wealthy merchants controlled by the daimyo nobles cannot take any advantage in this trade process supported by force.
If you don’t take advantage, you will suffer a big loss!
Therefore, the daimyo nobles want peace, not war!
"Then... Lord Tokumitsu..."
The Uchiha jounin asked cautiously.
"...Don't worry yet. Since this document was passed down by the family from the village, Shuo Maojun will definitely know about it. Maybe his letter is already on the way."
Uchiha Tokko breathed out, "Besides, the Kirigakure ninja clan might be more anxious than us!"
…
Kirigakure Ninja Village at this time.
After learning that the daimyo was secretly making peace with the Land of Fire, both the Kirigakure Oniden clan and the Minazuki clan fell into a state of shock.
Their first reaction is that the glorious days are gone forever.
The second reaction that followed was -
"Daimyo, he is so brave!"
The progress of the Oniden clan and the Minazuki clan in seeking the power to crack the earth was very unsatisfactory. The fundamental reason was that neither the Mizukage nor the daimyo allowed it.
Therefore, the two clans and their vassals are increasingly dissatisfied with the contemporary Mizukage and the Daimyo of the Land of Water.
Especially the top leaders of the two clans are still immersed in the glory of the two generations of Mizukages and cannot extricate themselves. They usually do not take civilian ninjas seriously, which intensifies the conflict with other forces of Kirigakure.
"Soldiers!"
Masahiko Ghost Light jumped out and shouted!
"Gather the family's ninja army to attack the Daming Mansion, and let those noble officials with their nostrils pointing to the sky see how powerful we are!"
In the smuggling transactions between the two parties, Masahiko Kito, as Uchiha Tokko's designated liaison to the Kito clan, also made a lot of money. If peace is restored between the two countries, the most direct damage will be his personal income.
"Shut up!"
The leader of the Gui Deng clan angrily yelled: "If you are so hopeless, I will never leave the family to you!"
Although these words were a reprimand, they also established Masahiko's status from the side.
Gui Deng Yayan said no more, and other Gui Deng clan members were dissatisfied when they heard the words, but they dared not speak out.
"Unite the Minazuki clan and Goju Yagura to submit a letter to Lord Mizukage!"
The leader of the Oniden clan said coldly: "Just say that Kirigakure must not suffer the shame of defeat! Please, Mizukage-sama, urge the daimyo to fight again!"
At the end, he added, "Let me inform the Kaguya clan again, and I will pay you a visit then!"
The leader of the Oniden clan has made up his mind. If the Mizukage does not agree to the Ninja clan's request, he will unite all possible forces to overthrow the current third generation Mizukage in one fell swoop and support Gotachibana Yagura to come to power as a puppet!
…
Kirigakure's news was kept secret, and Uchiha Tokumitsu also received a letter from Hatake Sakumo soon after.
The content of the letter can be summed up as "keep calm" and never make a big move.
Because peace is the common aspiration of the Fire Country and even Konoha, not to mention that the Water Country has paid compensation. In this case, taking risks for the sake of smuggling profits will inevitably cause public outrage.
Uchiha Tokko naturally understands this truth.
This was also the reason why he did not summon the Ninja Army immediately.
Moreover, judging from the unusual edict issued by the daimyo this time, there is a high probability that the daimyo nobles from various countries have chosen to unite in private...
"Somebody come!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu summoned his subordinates, "Send a message to the Fire Gate Shogunate and order them to intercept and kill all suspicious people trying to go to the Land of Earth, especially the messengers!"
"As you command!"
The subordinates left in a hurry after receiving the order.
If the daimyo nobles have truly reconciled privately as Uchiha Tokumitsu envisioned, it won't be long before more peace agreements are announced.
"It's really troublesome..."
Uchiha Tokko paced back and forth in the office, thinking about countermeasures.
If customs is cleared, the smuggling trade will inevitably suffer an impact. Although the goods do not have to pay tariffs and have a certain cost advantage, the profits will definitely not be as generous as before.
And it’s no longer a one-man business.
The Uchiha clan has a deep understanding of how profitable it is to control a country's trade transactions during its transactions with the Kirigakure ninja clan.
Now that Hungry Tiger has tasted the sweetness of blood, he is naturally unwilling to go back and earn the small amount of money from mission commissions.
The Uchiha clan is like this.
The same is true for the various pro-Ninja shareholders of the United Fisheries Company.
The same is true for the ninjas from the Reform Club who participate in logistics escort.
This is especially true for the Oniden and Minazuki clans who dominate Kirigakure's business.
Even the guards of the eight eastern counties who are responsible for distribution at the smuggling terminal may not be happy to see their own interests damaged...
"Presumably all the ninja clans are not willing to go back to being the dogs of daimyo nobles..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu felt a little relieved when he thought of this.
The Uchiha clan is having a hard time, and so are other stakeholders.
Everyone is having a hard time, so they can only find fault with the person who made it difficult for them.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Tokumitsu once again summoned his attendants and ordered: "Send someone to check and see which of the nobles in the eight eastern counties has a closer blood relationship with the daimyo and who is relatively higher in the order of inheritance. Report later!"
"As you command!"
Although the subordinates and attendants did not understand the reason, they still accepted the order and left.
Uchiha Tokumitsu planned to make more preparations. If that was not possible, he would support a local noble family to fight against the daimyo.
After all, apart from smuggling, the most profitable thing is to become the master of the country.
But this move is still a double-edged sword after all.
Therefore, this trick can only be used as the last resort.
…
While secret messages from various ninja clans kept coming and going, "good news" of peace came one after another among the five major nations.
At the end of May in the thirty-seventh year of Konoha, the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Earth signed a reconciliation agreement, completely ending the confrontation between the two sides on the border.
In early June of the thirty-seventh year of Konoha, the Fire Country once again signed a second peace agreement. This time, the signing party was the Wind Country. The two parties did not compensate each other, and the Wind Country recognized the Kawa Country as the Fire Country's sphere of influence. , recognizing that the shogunate control established by Misura Hamaki of the Western Border Defense Force in Kawanoguni is legitimate and legal.
At this time, the only countries that have not issued a peace agreement to end the state of war are the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Earth.
Uchiha Tokumitsu gave the order, and Uchiha Kamon resolutely carried it out.
The Fire Gate Shogunate and the Tokumitsu Red Guards mobilized in full force, secretly blocking all major transportation routes between the two countries, and killing all suspicious couriers. This delayed the process of the peace agreement.
But in July of the thirty-seventh year of Konoha, envoys who detoured from the Kingdom of Birds and the Kingdom of Wind to the Kingdom of Fire signed an end-of-war edict at the Daimyo Palace of the Kingdom of Fire, announcing the reconciliation between the two countries, and the Kingdom of Earth recognized the Kingdom of Grass. The Kingdom of Rain is the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Fire.
The Second Ninja War officially ended with the Fire Nation becoming the biggest winner!
But procrastination still works.
After consultations with various affiliated ninja clans and other stakeholders, Uchiha Tokko finally decided to introduce a secret special policy——
"Private Warrant!"
