When the Hyuga clan leader rushed to the gate of Konoha, he happened to meet the smiling Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen walking out surrounded by a group of ANBU.
"Hokage-sama!"
The Hyuga clan leader greeted the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He also noticed that not far away, there was an Uchiha ninja army wearing red armor in formation.
"Long time no see..."
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen responded with a smile: "Peace is always our greatest vision, isn't it?"
This particularly abrupt and suggestive statement made the Hyuga clan leader not sure how to respond, so he had to force a smile and said no more.
The first one to appear was Uchiha Tokumitsu's team.
Although he had already received information about the itinerary, the Hyuga clan leader was still a little uneasy, fearing that the two opposing sides would start fighting at the entrance of the village.
"This is……"
With the super vision brought by the Byakugan, the Hyuga clan leader noticed the ninjas without forehead protection in Uchiha Tokimitsu's team.
"Kiden, Minazuki...the two major Mizukage families of Kirigakure..."
The Hyuga clan leader was secretly shocked.
His eyes noticed another group of ninjas wearing vests and looking somewhat uncomfortable.
"And the Kaguya clan..."
Although their personalities are very different, during the Warring States Period, the Kaguya clan was one of the allies of the Hyuga clan, and it is said that the two clans have some distant blood relations.
It was only after the Ninja Village era that the relationship gradually faded away because the two clans belonged to different Ninja Villages.
After the Hyuga clan leader was distracted by his thoughts for a while, he came back to his senses amid a burst of noise.
Surrounded by a group of armored Uchiha ninja troops, Uchiha Tokumitsu walked towards the gate of Konoha with a smile on his face.
The ninja troops of the three Kirigakure tribes under his command spread out in the rear. It seemed that they did not intend to enter the village, but were stationed outside the village.
"Thank you for your hard work, Deguang-kun~"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen had a smile on his face and took the initiative to speak.
"Good day, Hokage-sama~"
Uchiha Demitsu also bowed slightly, "This is a matter that is part of the Konoha ninja's duty, and should not be treated as a blessing."
Seeing the two people interacting so harmoniously, the surrounding Konoha ninjas couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as the top leaders of both parties do not break up in public, it means there is still room for maneuver.
"Tokumitsu-kun, that is..."
The smiling Sandaime raised his chin and signaled to the ninja troops of the Kirigakure clan in the distance.
These ninja soldiers who came from the Kirigakure family did not wear Konoha forehead protectors, nor did they have the mark of rebellion that was scratched by rebel ninjas. They just wore vests in the shape of Konoha ninjas, but only with the Uchiha Uchiha fan logo.
"The remaining lineage of the Kirigakure clan."
Uchiha Tokko also had a smile on his face, "The separation of life and death is the righteousness of the Ninja clan, isn't it~"
The third generation Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to be about to say something more, but at this time two teams appeared in the distance.
Appearing from the north is Sarutobi Shinnosuke of the Northern Border Defense Force.
The ones who were discovered in the west were Misura Hamaki of the Western Border Defense Force and Hatake Sakumo who returned from the inspection.
The Hyuga clan leader looked intently and saw a familiar face in Hatake Sakumo's team who was chatting and laughing with him.
It is the Uchiha Fire Gate of the Northwest Frontier Defense Force.
At this moment, the five major generals and the four major border army commanders of the Fire Country returned at the same time.
…
After a long and formal welcome ceremony, Uchiha Tokumitsu walked into the village surrounded by his tribe.
"Tokumitsu-kun."
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped him, "If possible, let's walk and talk together."
Everyone present turned their attention to Uchiha Demitsu.
Hatake Sakumo's face looked a little haggard, but he also looked at Uchiha Tokimitsu, who looked a little surprised.
"OK!"
Uchiha Tokko nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them shook off their subordinates, and the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen took Uchiha Tokumitsu and teleported away towards Shadow Rock.
This was also the first time Uchiha Tokko set foot on the top of Shadow Rock after his rebirth in this world, and he also stepped on top of the statue of the Third Hokage.
Looking down from a high position, the scenery of Konoha is unobstructed.
The most abrupt thing is the high wall of the Uchiha clan's clan, which is like a village within a village, dividing the family and the village.
"Tokumitsu-kun, is this your first time setting foot on Shadow Rock?"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, "The scenery is surprisingly good. You can come here more often in the future."
"I'm very curious. Basically every child in Konoha will come here to have a look and play. Why haven't you set foot here before?"
"Not only Shadow Rock, but also the North District where the Hokage Building and ANBU are located. I have never been there when I was a child."
Uchiha Tokumitsu chuckled, "It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, right?"
The third generation of Sarutobi Hiruzen's face twitched, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Konoha is Konoha for all Konoha people, we are equal..."
The third generation of Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "Now that you are in a high position, why are you still limited to one clan..."
"equality……"
Uchiha Tokumitsu clicked his tongue, "But there are always people in the village who are more equal than others, right?"
"Besides, I was born into the Uchiha clan. What else can I do if I don't stand on my clan's side?"
"My Sharingan tells me that blood is thicker than water! This is an unchangeable fact!"
Uchiha Tokko retorted repeatedly.
This is an almost unsolvable disagreement.
Regardless of whether the Hokage family has any selfish motives or not, since the first generation, their goal has been to break down the sectarian differences among the ninja clan and integrate them into the Konoha family.
But the problem is that sometimes this "fusion" is accompanied by strong oppression. Even after some ninjas break away from the protection of their families and become atomized ninja individuals, their fate is not good when faced with external threats.
After all, the organizational strength of the Ninja Village does not support individuals as much as a family tied by blood.
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen originally planned to give a speech on the will of fire, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Uchiha Tokumitsu was able to lead Hatake Sakumo astray, which shows that he has long been immune to the theory of the will of fire and has a self-contained way of thinking.
But what the Third Generation Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't figure out the most was how Uchiha Tokumitsu's stubborn yet open-minded ideas and attitudes were formed.
Even the third generation version of the Will of Fire that is currently being promoted in Konoha is not a rootless tree, but is developed on the basis of the first and second generations.
"Your narrow-minded thinking... It's really hard to believe what you will become after becoming Hokage."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be accusing him, but he also threw out a poisonous bait.
The position of Hokage...
A place that generations of Uchiha have dreamed about.
"Uchiha Kage has transcended the limitations of his clan, but the cause of his death is still unknown."
Uchiha Tokko replied with a smile.
The third generation Sarutobi Hi glared at each other.
Uchiha Tokko didn't flinch.
"Just tell me!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and was puffing on the pipe in his mouth.
"What do you want?"
This was what he couldn't understand the most.
If Uchiha Tokumitsu wants to seize the position of Hokage, there is no need to bother with a ninja clan council meeting.
With the creation of so many complicated and complicated new institutions, not to mention the efficiency of decision-making, even the power has been dispersed into the hands of each household. On the contrary, the power of the Hokage has been almost emptied out.
"...I hope for peace in the ninja world."
Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled broadly.
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and stared at Uchiha Tokimitsu with his stern eyes: "It's already this time, aren't you willing to tell the truth?"
"To be honest..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu's smile did not change: "I just hope that the Uchiha clan has a status that matches their strength. It's that simple."
"The Uchiha is too big!"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was very cold, "If the Uchiha clan is allowed to continue to expand, the entire Konoha will be swallowed up and eroded!"
"I only know that being weak is the original sin, but this is the first time I heard that being strong is a curse!"
Uchiha Tokko chuckled, "So... Hokage-sama's choice is to start a war now?"
"Or... we have to wait until the ninja troops in blue vests under your command are trained before starting the war?"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen had a cold face and remained silent.
"look……"
Uchiha Tokko spread his hands in a relaxed tone, "Want to fight or not to make peace? What are your plans?"
"Uchiha cannot become Hokage!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen said word by word.
"The Hokage is the Hokage of all Konoha ninjas. It is not an authority that can be granted privately by one family!"
Uchiha Tokko's tone was also very firm.
"Do you think you can do whatever you want with the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen said fiercely: "No matter how strong you are, I can still drag you to hell!"
"Isn't it just those so-called forbidden spells in the Book of Sealings! Who are you trying to scare? Let me guess...are the corpses sealed away?"
Uchiha Tokko smiled nonchalantly and said, "It can't be the four-image seal, right?"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became even more sinister.
The fingers of the drooping hands flickered slightly, as if they were planning to take action.
"Si-hai-wei-mao-xu-zi-you-wu-si!"
As Uchiha Tokko recited the hand seal sequence one by one, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed a look of horror involuntarily.
"This is the sequence of hand seals for the corpse sealing technique, right?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled broadly, "Can we talk now?"
Under the gloomy expression of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, a violent storm seemed to be brewing.
"As long as I am alive! The Uchiha clan should not get involved in the position of Hokage!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen roared: "Don't try to test my means and determination!"
"Hokage-sama, the ninja world is changing very quickly. When the times eliminate the outdated old things, they won't even be able to snore..."
Uchiha Tokko's expression remained unchanged.
"...Besides, isn't the purpose of why you asked me to come here to discuss how to resolve the current confrontation? Now it seems that I am going too far away from the topic, right?"
The verbal exchanges between the two became more and more intense, and Uchiha Tokumitsu was too lazy to use honorifics anymore.
"Tell me about it..."
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to smoke his pipe.
In the verbal exchange just now, he hardly took any advantage.
This made him doubt himself a little.
"The Ninja Clan Council was reorganized into the permanent Ninja Clan Consultative Conference, and is held regularly to review major resolutions in the village."
Uchiha Tokumitsu still insisted on his original request: "I think the Hyuga clan leader has also communicated with you, right?"
"The power of the shogunate is too great! If you let it go, problems will inevitably arise."
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "There must be restrictions!"
"The shogun should have the power to conquer from all sides!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu gave in slightly and only asked for the right to act.
In this way, the east faces Kirigakure, the north faces Kumogakure, the northwest faces Iwagakure, and the west faces Sunagakure; this is also equivalent to an enhanced version of the original four border defense forces.
"Even the power of conquest should be controlled by the village!"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.
This is also his heartache.
The other three border armies were okay, but the Eastern Border Defense Force under the command of Uchiha Tokumitsu had too many extraordinary incidents, which made him very embarrassed as the Hokage.
"It would be better for five generals to form a Privy Council and jointly manage war affairs."
Uchiha Tokko immediately dug another hole.
"Privy Council?"
This is a newly coined word in the ninja world.
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen instinctively became vigilant.
Uchiha Tokumitsu often used some words that sounded strange to people in the ninja world to cover up his true purpose. After suffering several losses, as soon as he heard words that were beyond his cognitive range, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately Stressful vigilance.
"The five generals jointly form the Privy Council, with the Jonin squad leader serving as the Privy Council, coordinating the operations of the various border defense forces."
Uchiha Demitsu explained with a smile.
"The power of the ninja army and conquest belongs to the Hokage!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was still unwilling to give in.
"Of course, total war is the highest authority held by Hokage-sama."
Uchiha Tokko responded.
He also secretly dug another hole, which was to separate the shogunate's subordinates from the border troops.
Because the Eastern Border Defense Force is the most special existence, in addition to the ninja army within the organization, the shogunate under Uchiha Tokumitsu also has three barbarian conquest columns composed of the remaining members of the Kirigakure clan.
In the future, Uchiha Tokumitsu plans to expand his army aggressively under the framework of the shogunate, recruiting idle ninjas in Konoha and Nami ninjas in the ninja world to jointly conquer Kirigakure.
"The matter of the Privy Council still needs careful consideration..."
The third generation of Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he could not figure out Uchiha Tokumitsu's intentions in a short time, so he chose to put it aside for the time being.
"The ninja troops of the Uchiha clan should stop causing trouble in the village!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "The confrontation will end here!"
"Please also ask Hokage-sama to recall those blue-vested ninja troops. The police department will then return to the North District and lift martial law."
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, "Also, the Hokage-sama and the daimyo should also pay attention to the operational details when dealing with large amounts of money..."
As soon as these words came out, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed drastically.
Uchiha Demitsu bowed slightly and saluted, then turned and left.
