The Uchiha clan's slogan of rebellion has actually been shouted for many years.
The police department is both a power and a prison. Some Uchiha people understand this truth.
But so what?
When the second generation Senju Tobirama was in charge of Konoha, the Uchiha clan was divided among the conservative clan members such as Uchiha Kagami. Outside, the Senju clan and major ninja clans in Konoha continued to exert pressure. The Uchiha clan, which prided itself on being powerful, only The so-called "rebellion" that can be sullenly nestled in the one-third of an acre of the police department is just something the radicals have enjoyed shouting at small factional gatherings. If they really want to raise the flag and say Maybe the first ones to come to suppress them would be the conservative tribesmen.
For ninjas, peace is the biggest obstacle to the growth of strength.
The Uchiha ninjas who have been trapped in various trivial matters in the police department for many years have naturally become less powerful with each passing generation.
But with the rise of Uchiha Tokumitsu, Uchiha ninjas were finally able to break away from the shackles of the police department, regain their nature, and once again spread the flame of Uchiha to the ninja world.
In addition, the establishment of the Police Preparatory School trained many genin police officers. After graduation, they also entered the police department and took on most of the tedious tasks. The ninjas of the Uchiha clan's police department were also able to free themselves. The free time can be used for self-cultivation, or looking for opportunities to go to the shogunate to practice in battles. Even if things don't work out, you can go home and create a few more people.
Generally speaking, today's Uchiha clan has a high-spirited attitude towards development.
Because of this, the Uchiha people can no longer accept the suppression of the Hokage family.
Konoha is the Konoha of all Konoha ninjas, and the Hokage is the Hokage chosen by the Jonin. Why should the current Hokage draw up the list of candidates for the fourth generation.
What's even more ridiculous is that it was actually handed over to the daimyo for review!
How many jounin does the daimyo have?
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that the Uchiha people began to actively provoke conflicts with the Hokage family, and the conflicts between the two sides became more and more serious.
As the conflict between the two parties continued to intensify, Mito Monobu broke the agreement between the two parties and mobilized the ninjas of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to settle in the village to confront the Kita District Police Station of the Police Department.
The Uchiha clan did not show any signs of weakness. The patriarch Uchiha Shifang gave an order to deploy the headquarters' quick reaction force to the North District Police Station. The East District and West District Police Stations issued orders to start enforcing curfews. The police department hospitals also began to free up a large number of hospital beds. Entered a wartime state.
Even the Anbu and the Police Department have had many conflicts in public, but the results of the conflicts have always been the victory of the Police Department, which has the numerical advantage.
Subsequently, various ninja clans from the Hokage family began to gather in the village ninja, ready to join the conflict.
Although both sides maintained their final calmness and restraint, and no fatalities occurred in the many conflicts, judging from the situation, it seems that if one of the parties does not retreat, it will only be a matter of time before it turns into a civil war.
But the last chance for peace, in the eyes of Konoha ninjas, lies with Hatake Sakumo.
But Hatake Sakumo was also feeling tormented. Although Uchiha Tokumitsu had promised him not to start a civil war, he had not yet had time to negotiate with Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen to discuss the peace terms proposed by Uchiha Tokumitsu. The conflict between the two sides began to intensify.
Even the instigator, the Third Generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, did not expect that the conflict would become so intense, and Hatake Sakumo did not expect that the Uchiha clan's reaction would be so violent this time.
Maybe the long-suppressed emotions all burst out after the fuse was lit, maybe the Uchiha clan is no longer willing to wait any longer, but no matter what, Konoha cannot be in chaos!
This is Hatake Sakumo’s creed!
Therefore, when the ANBU arrived at the jounin class to convey the Hokage's call, Hatake Sakumo immediately followed him to the Hokage building.
…
"Knock knock!"
Hatake Sakumo knocked twice at the door of the Hokage's office. Without waiting for a response from inside, he immediately turned the door handle and pushed the door open.
"Lord Hokage, I'm here..."
Hatake Sakumo nodded to everyone in the office and said, "Good day, two advisors."
"And...Tsunade-hime, long time no see."
"Sakumo-kun, I'm waiting for you, sit down..."
The third generation of Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked friendly and smiling, and greeted Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo nodded and sat down on the sofa on the side of the office.
Although they were in the same room, they looked distinct from the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen and others.
"...Konoha is a collective, and the village cannot be chaotic, so the behavior of the Uchiha clan must be controlled."
There was silence in the Hokage's office for a while, and Mito Kaden was the first to speak: "Sakumo-kun, this is your responsibility."
"responsibility?"
Hatake Sakumo asked: "Why does the village always like to blame things before they calm down?"
"Hokage-sama, if I'm not wrong, quelling this conflict is the reason why you sent the order for me to come, right?"
"Talk with this attitude, if the person sitting here is not me but Tokumitsu-kun, the Hokage Building will probably be smashed by Susanoo by now!"
Hatake Sakumo's series of rebuttals made Mito Kaden's face turn blue and he was speechless.
Seeing his friend like this, Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly and put down the pipe in his hand.
"The village cannot be in chaos, this is the principle of everything..."
Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen said sincerely: "We are all Konoha ninjas. Even as Hokage, we serve the ninjas of this village. We can talk openly and honestly."
"As for responsibility...it's just that Advisor Yan was in a hurry, so please don't worry about it."
Saying such words as Hokage made it difficult for Hatake Sakumo to continue entangled in this matter.
After the atmosphere calmed down slightly, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "But in the final analysis, this time... the police department went above and beyond."
"The jounin class must fulfill the power of supervision of the Konoha tribes and should not be biased."
After turning to bed, Xiaochun answered.
"However, Sakumo-kun's work achievements are obvious to all since he took up the position of Jonin squad leader. Therefore, I hope that you can calm down this turmoil."
"Besides, this is also within the purview of the jounin class, right?"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the pipe on the table again and started smoking slowly.
But the peripheral vision of his eyes was still secretly paying attention to the changes in Hatake Sakumo's expression.
Different from the past, this time Hatake Sakumo's expression was extremely calm, and no one could see his inner thoughts.
"I would like to ask, Hokage-sama..."
Hatake Sakumo was silent for a while before slowly speaking: "May I ask where you think the cause of this turmoil started?"
"The Uchiha clan is too arrogant..."
On this point, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen was not prepared to make false prevarications as before: "Their ambitions have been known to everyone in the village since the second generation took charge of Konoha."
Indeed, in the past, the talkative Uchiha clan would always shout about entering the Hokage building and seizing the Hokage's power, but anyone who had contact with this clan basically knew about it.
"So... is it a mistake for the ninjas in the village to aspire to become Hokage?"
Hatake Sakumo asked calmly: "You know, the teaching of the Ninja School is to let every student have the dream of becoming Hokage and work hard for it..."
"And this is also the source of Konoha's strength!"
"You want to say Uchiha Tokimitsu, right?"
The third generation of Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, "But if the Uchiha tribe becomes the Hokage of the village, what do you think will happen to the village?"
With the power of the Uchiha clan, if the position of Hokage really becomes theirs, then the other Konoha ninjas will become Uchiha's retainers.
"What the village wants is balance, so the Uchiha clan needs to make some sacrifices."
After turning to bed, Koharu said with a solemn face: "We cannot allow one family to dominate, otherwise the Konoha Ninja Village will be in danger of falling apart."
"But the Uchiha clan is also a member of the Konoha ninja after all..."
Hatake Sakumo took a deep breath: "If being strong is wrong, then each ninja clan can be disbanded."
It is true that the village needs balance, and it is true that Konoha needs stability.
But you can’t say that the Uchiha clan made a mistake, right?
If that's the case, then what does it mean that with the support of Uchiha Tokumitsu and a group of Uchiha jounin, he just took over the position of leader of the jounin class from the Nara clan?
Dead silence returned to the Hokage's office once again.
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office.
"Come in!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted impatiently.
"Lord Hokage, there is an emergency report in the village, so I take the liberty of disturbing you..."
An ANBU entered and handed some information documents to the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After a cursory glance, the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes tiredly.
"There is a conflict between the Police Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Under the probing eyes of everyone, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly: "The North District Police Station of the Police Department arrested more than thirty ninja personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Mito Menyan's face suddenly turned black.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the department under his jurisdiction.
"...The use of ninjutsu in the street resulted in three deaths and five injuries, and the casualties were all members of the Internal Affairs Force!"
Want chaos!
The expressions of everyone in the Hokage's office suddenly changed.
This is the first fatality since the conflict!
Mito Menyan couldn’t sit still anymore.
He knew very well who the ninjas from the Ministry of Internal Affairs under his command were. If the Uchiha clan really broke out, they might not be able to stop the attack of Uchiha ninjas from a police station.
"Why?"
Hatake Sakumo frowned and growled: "Why is there such a conflict!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, and then handed the information document to Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo quickly took it and read it, then started flipping through it immediately.
"Why didn't you mention it?"
Hatake Sakumo's brows furrowed even more tightly.
The ANBU intelligence only contained the time, place and casualties of the conflict between the two parties, but did not explain the background of the incident.
""Knock knock!
There was another knock on the door of the Hokage's office.
"come in……"
Hope it's not bad news.
Another messenger ANBU came in and reported to the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hokage-sama... the North District Police Station has been closed again, and all the ninjas affiliated with the department have evacuated..."
Similar to the last time, the Uchiha clan was shrinking again.
But this time, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen did not intend to continue to compromise.
The Hokage clan really has no room for maneuver anymore. If they compromise any more, the already wavering Ninja clan will switch to the Uchiha clan, and then there will really be nothing they can do to save the day.
"Sakumo-kun, I'll leave this matter to you..."
The third generation Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked his pipe hastily, his voice sounded extremely harsh, "The Uchiha clan cannot continue to be so unbridled."
"Even if something unspeakable happens?"
Hatake Sakumo narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly.
"Even if there is a civil war! Even if the village is reduced to ruins!"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone became more and more firm. "Konoha belongs to all Konoha people, and the Uchiha clan must be restricted!"
"Hokage-sama, is there really no problem with the nomination process for the fourth generation candidate list?"
Hatake Sakumo made a last-ditch effort, "It is necessary to correct mistakes! Besides, the Uchiha clan is also a member of Konoha!"
"I've made up my mind!"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and took another long puff of his pipe.
"Then what Hokage-sama means is..."
"If the police department hands over the perpetrators of this conflict, then I can issue a pardon to exempt others from responsibility!"
The third generation of Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "That's it, the rest can be changed from now on!"
"Aren't you willing to hear Uchiha Tokumitsu's conditions?"
"I won't listen!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became even colder, "Sakumo Jounin, remember, I am the Hokage!"
"The Hokage is not the Hokage of one faction or clan, the Hokage is the Hokage of all Konoha ninjas!"
Hatake Sakumo also stood up and said word by word: "Hokage-sama, I will pass the impeachment motion in the Jonin class! I hope you can wake up quickly!"
The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked the embers in his pipe without saying a word.
Tsunade snorted, stood up first and slammed the door out.
She really couldn't stand these stupid things that were being done for profit.
Hatake Sakumo also left afterwards.
Dead silence returned to the Hokage's office once again.
After a long time, Mitomon Yan said quietly: "It's time to assemble the ninja army..."
"Seconded!"
After turning to bed, Xiaochun nodded in agreement.
"Gather together, this time all the ninja troops from each family can come out."
The Sandaime refilled his pipe and started smoking happily.
"Inform the assembled personnel of each family..."
"...This time, I have to use all my strength."
Mito Kado and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, both nodded in agreement.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was another urgent knock on the door of the Hokage's office.
"Come in!"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted with a frown.
"Lord Hokage, two advisors..."
An ANBU hurriedly went inside to report: "Sakumo Jounin has called on ninjas to assemble in the illegal name of the Reform Council!"
"Another ninja who was one of Hatake Sakumo's trusted ninja suddenly left the village and headed back to the west, most likely for rescue..."
"Any more?"
The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted his subordinate's explanation.
"The shogunate ninja army under Uchiha Tokumitsu may set off to return to the village today, with about two hundred people..."
The number of people was not that large, and Konoha F3's expression relaxed.
"According to investigation, they are all jounin!"
The third generation of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the two advisors were immediately shocked.
Chapter 2 is still a bit stuck
