For Konoha in the post-civil war era, although the impact of the Battle of Settsu was far-reaching, its current impact is not great; after experiencing a brief period of panic, the bottom of the village quickly adapted to the new era.
After a brief period of depression, Konoha has once again returned to its normal state of bustling traffic and bustling traffic.
Rich merchants from various countries in the ninja world once again brought their goods to Konoha, the legendary "flowing milk and honey", adding to the prosperity of the ninja village.
It was in this warm atmosphere of blooming flowers and blazing fire that the first plenary meeting of the Konoha Senate, destined to reshape Konoha, was officially held.
"... For the sake of Konoha's eternal foundation, after discussions between all parties, it is planned to completely transform Konoha's old system to avoid the recurrence of the past events of relying on power and bullying."
"Konoha stands proudly at the top of the ninja world. Firstly, the ninja army is invincible in battle. Secondly, all the ninja clans are united and outward, and thirdly, the top and bottom are united!"
At the first plenary session of the Senate, Mito Kadoba delivered a painful and soul-touching speech on behalf of the former Hokage line.
This also means that the original Hokage forces have officially surrendered in public, and legally self-denialed, formally and completely ceding all power.
"...All Konoha ninjas should be promoted based on their merits to open up a path for advancement; the old and the weak should not pretend to be useless; the loyal and upright people should not be buried in the dust."
Uchiha Tokumitsu also took the stage and issued a declaration of victory, but it was not just a show of force, but a picture of an utopia to all Konoha ninjas.
The ninja world is destined not to be completely fair.
Just like the natural innate gap between ninjas and civilian ninjas, it is difficult to make up for it through nurture.
However, the strength of the ninja clan does not mean that civilian ninjas will never be able to succeed, and strengthening the civilian ninja community does not mean sacrificing the interests of the ninja clan.
Just like the ninja clan has leaders from generation to generation, a large base of civilian ninjas can also give birth to geniuses that ordinary ninja clan cannot match.
All Uchiha Tokimitsu had to do was find a common denominator that was in the best interests of all Konoha shinobi.
The reason why people are admired and missed is because they lead the people to create a new era, rather than standing on the moral high ground and making unscrupulous accusations.
The Uchiha clan is different from Sarutobi and other ninja clans. The Uchiha clan's base is large and hard enough to suppress all the discordant voices in Konoha.
Coupled with the income generated by the United Company, the force of the four frontier armies, and the power of the Police Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the benefits obtained are enough to make the Uchiha clan and all the affiliated ninja clans full.
In addition, during the Second Ninja War, Uchiha Tokumitsu's record was indeed the best in the ninja world, and the Konoha martial arts sect had long been willing to lose its sincerity. In addition, the handling of Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand and tail after his death was also clean enough
Therefore, the Uchiha clan also has enough pie to distribute to the Konoha ninjas.
"...All Konoha clans sit in the Senate to discuss major issues; all Konoha jonins sit in the House of Representatives to deliberate on village affairs; all Konoha ninjas work on meritocracy!"
Uchiha Tokumitsu ended with "Three Whatevers", officially pushing the atmosphere of the Senate plenary session to the top.
"Congratulations to Konoha!"
The leader of the Uzumaki clan, Ashina Uzumaki, was the first to stand up and shout loudly.
"Congratulations to Konoha!"
The Senate hall suddenly burst into cheers.
"Long live Lord Tokumitsu!"
The Kurama clan leader then shouted an even more shocking slogan.
"Long live Lord Tokumitsu!"
Led by the Uchiha ninjas and various affiliated ninja clans, the voice of "Long live" resounded throughout Konoha.
Unlike the former Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen, who appointed relatives and friends when he was in charge of Konoha, Uchiha Tokumitsu not only took care of the interests of various wealthy families, but also left enough room for advancement for other small and medium-sized ninja clans or civilian ninjas, such as the jounin class. The remodeled House of Representatives is a perfect relief valve.
As long as you can become a Jonin, you can naturally become a member of the House of Representatives and officially become one of the high-ranking officials of Konoha.
In this way, Konoha's highest power is also dispersed. In fact, the Uchiha clan, the strongest family, still has the largest say. In the future, as long as the Uchiha clan remains in power, Konoha will definitely There is no way to escape the control of the Uchiha clan.
This is much safer than standing up to be Hokage and then being regarded as a target by other careerists.
But no matter how many pressure relief valves are installed, if there is a problem with the basic system, everything will be lost.
The original Hokage series is a perfect example.
When the second generation was in charge of Konoha, the Uchiha clan was essentially fightable.
At least the Uchiha clan can be divided through the power of the Uchiha conservatives.
Before the internal problems are resolved, the family cannot rely on a faction that does not occupy the mainstream to unite the forces of the pro-nin clan to go head-to-head with the Hokage clan.
At this point, the second-generation Senju Tobirama's methods are much better than those of his four bad disciples. By taking Uchiha Kagami, a direct descendant of the Uchiha conservatives, under his command, the Uchiha conservatives Pulling him over, this also made the radicals afraid to take action against the conservatives, thus maintaining the division of the Uchiha clan.
However, after Sarutobi Hiruzen ascended the throne, due to the inexplicable death of Uchiha Kage, the Uchiha clan returned to the control of the radical faction; while Akimichi Tofaze had been sitting on the bench for many years, and also the hard-core Hokage Inokazu San Different factions were cultivated within the clan; and after all the power in Konoha was controlled by the four-man group, other ninja clan who had no way to make progress dared to be angry but dare not speak out.
The so-called lesson learned from the past is the teacher for the latter.
In the eyes of Uchiha Tokko, this is just an example of the former Hokage's "co-governance without limit, dictatorship without courage".
Senju Tobirama did not dare to openly attack the Uchiha clan, but that did not mean that the current Uchiha Tokimitsu did not clean up the hardcore members of the former Hokage's force.
He spared the ordinary people of the Konoha F4 family, and also allowed the Konoha F4 family and the village clan ninjas to continue to survive, but those ninjas who had fought against him must be appropriately punished, otherwise the majesty of the Uchiha clan will not be reflected. .
So Uchiha Tokumitsu established the first ninja army under the Governor's Mansion system-the Punishment Battalion.
The sources of this ninja army are all the ninjas of the three tribes of Sarutobi, Shimura, and Tensho who participated in the Battle of Settsu, as well as the die-hard elements who were eliminated from the Anbu and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Uchiha Tokumitsu brought all these die-hard elements into punishment They serve as dead soldiers in the camp. If they can survive five battles without dying, they can return to normal status.
As for the other ninjas from the former Hokage faction, Uchiha Tokumitsu still continued his previous promise to hand over the occupied area of the Kingdom of Thunder to them for garrison, but their family members must all stay in the village.
Even the ninjas of the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly tribes are no exception.
As for the Uchiha clan, under the instruction of Uchiha Tokumitsu, his father Uchiha Nakagen presided over the first family dividend meeting and distributed huge amounts of funds and various ninjutsu scrolls to every Uchiha clan member.
At the same time, a policy to encourage childbearing within the family was also introduced to expand the population within the family.
Although ninjas have mastered extraordinary chakra, in the final analysis, they are not the long-lived practitioners in heaven and earth that Uchiha Tokumitsu knew in his previous life.
The growth of a ninja requires talent, but it also takes time.
With the current momentum of the Uchiha clan, as long as they maintain appropriate war experience and population policies, and do not seek death, their future power will not be lost.
This is also the reason why Uchiha Tokko was able to convince the tribe to temporarily put aside their obsession with the position of Hokage.
What Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't want is temporary possession, he wants to last forever.
…
Other Ninja Villages were also quietly observing Konoha's every move.
As the top ninja in the contemporary ninja world, Uchiha Tokumitsu has been analyzed by the intelligence departments of major ninja villages countless times, but every time Uchiha Tokumitsu's new measures will always bring different consequences to the ninja world. breath.
Especially this time Konoha's restructuring has directly changed the shadow of a village.
This time is different from the previous petty conflicts such as the shogunate and bond issuance, and it is also different from the cession of territories that violated the prohibition but did not lead to a desperate counterattack by the daimyo nobles.
This time, in Konoha, the birthplace of the one-village-one-nation system established by the ninja god Senju Hashirama, the existence of Naruto was directly overturned.
"Conquer the barbarian generals and rule Konoha together..."
In Sunagakure Village, Ebizo, who was devoted himself to the survival of Ninja Village, carefully studied the information secretly sent back from Konoha's secret agents, and couldn't help but sigh.
The problem in Sunagakure Village is also serious.
During the Second Ninja War, Sunagakure went on an expedition to no avail. Not only did the ninjas in the Ninja Village suffer heavy casualties in the war, but after the war, a lot of military expenses were deducted from them by the harsh Daimyo of the Land of Wind. Even the majestic Kazekage You have to go to the desert to dig for gold sand to maintain the expenses of the Ninja Village.
For Sunagakure, one of the five great ninja villages, this is a great shame.
Even Taki Ninja, who chose to live in seclusion, was not as miserable as Sunagakure.
With the new trend set off by Uchiha Tokko in the ninja world, different trends of thought began to penetrate into the hearts of Sunagakure ninjas.
It is said that if you are poor, you will want to change. It is time for Sunagakure, who is extremely poor, to change.
"Teaching Deguang's skills to control the great names..."
An idea that had been lingering in Ebizo's mind for countless times came up again.
Different from the past hesitation, Ebizo immediately put his ideas on paper and immediately went to the top management of Kazekage and Sunagakure for advice.
…
As for Kumogakure, the Third Raikage silently stared at the "Uchiha" copybook hanging in his office for a long time after receiving the information, and his heart was filled with ups and downs.
As a martial arts sect that occupies the dominant position in the Ninja Village, he has already tasted the taste of failure at the hands of Uchiha Tokumitsu; at the same time, he also uses the occupation of the southern part of the Kingdom of Thunder as motivation to motivate himself to work hard. , to revitalize Yunyin's momentum.
However, the war with Kirigakure has been going on. Even if he fights hard, after his strength is greatly damaged, Kumogakure can only struggle to maintain the front line and has no power to push back.
The northern part of the Kingdom of Thunder was occupied and ravaged by Kirigakure, and the southern part was occupied by Konoha and Iwagakure. The income and financial resources of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder were also greatly reduced. Although they still supported Kumogakure's military operations, they were unable to spend more. funds.
In the view of the Third Raikage, if things continue like this, Kumogakure will sooner or later be destroyed by the sun and the moon.
But where is the way out for Yunyin?
The Third Raikage thought hard but found nothing.
…
In the Iwagakure Ninja Village, Onoki put down the Konoha secret information in his hand and sat quietly for a long time without saying a word.
His son Huang Tu stood on one side, not even daring to breathe loudly for fear of disturbing his father's thinking.
The changes in Konoha also had a huge impact on Iwagakure.
The relationship between Iwagakure and the Daimyo of the Earth Country is not harmonious, especially the war against Kumogakure. In the view of the Daimyo of the Earth Country, this is because Iwagakure tore up the reconciliation agreement with the Kingdom of Thunder for temporary gain. At the same time, it was also a naked slap in his face.
But Onoki didn't care what the daimyo thought, he only thought about how to kill Kumogakure.
Iwagakure is relatively weak in strength, and may need to learn from the policies implemented by Uchiha Tokumitsu in Konoha to activate the vitality of the ninjas in the Ninja Village...
However, Iwagakure still had a disadvantage, that is, there was a serious lack of powerful blood successor ninjas in the Ninja Village. Even if Ohnoki tried to follow suit, he would not be able to support a person who could shoulder the responsibility for the rise and fall of Iwagakure.
…
As for the Kingdom of Water, the daimyo was furious in his palace in front of all his ministers, without regard for etiquette.
And the reason why he was so furious was because the honorific title "General of the Conquest of Yi" granted to Uchiha Tokumitsu had truly violated the dignity of the daimyo of the land of water.
As early as the Kirigakure conquest period, the vanguard of the Tokugaku shogunate was the so-called "Three Columns to Conquer Barbarians" formed with the three tribes of Oniden, Minazuki, and Kaguya as the backbone. It was also this "rebel army" that came from Kirigakure. "Leading the way to break through the defense line of the Kirigakure ninja army, causing the "black ship attack" incident and capturing the Daimyo Mansion of the Kingdom of Water, and forcing the Daimyo to sign a land ceding treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country, completely disgracing the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water.
Now that Uchiha Tokumitsu has not only received the title of "General of the Conquest of Yi", but also monopolized the military power of Konoha, who will be his next target?
The Daimyo of the Land of Water shuddered just thinking about this question.
"Immediately send an envoy to Kirigakure and ask Mr. Mizukage to come to the Daming Mansion to discuss matters..."
After venting his anger, the Daimyo of the Land of Water reluctantly calmed himself down and began to seek to speed up reconciliation with the Kirigakure establishment in order to deal with the threat from the "Konoha Governor's Palace".
As for the various feuds with the Third Mizukage, the Daimyo of the Land of Water has no time to worry about them.
"In addition, Mr. Du Siqing..."
The daimyo of the Land of Water turned his attention to his close minister Konoe Atsushi. The latter had dealt with Uchiha Tokimitsu several times as an envoy. Although he was demoted after signing the peace treaty, he was later recalled to the court by the daimyo.
"Go to Konoha and explore Uchiha Tokimitsu's tone to see if he intends to be detrimental to the Kingdom of Water..."
The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Water said these words with gritted teeth and felt extremely humiliated.
"I obey!"
Konoe Atsushi couldn't refuse, so he had to force himself to stay calm and accept this hard job with a straight face.
The content of these two days may be relatively dry, but they also pave the way for the unfolding of the plot later.
