In Konoha's Senate and House of Representatives system, although the Senate is chaired by the Uchiha clan leader, after operating for a period of time, in order to improve decision-making efficiency, five more director seats were established under the Senate President. , responsible for voting on daily affairs.
Among the five director seats, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan each recommend one person to serve as a permanent director as a hereditary seat for the family. The other three non-permanent director seats are elected on a rotating basis at the Senate meeting.
The Ninja clan currently serving as non-permanent directors are Hinata, Uzumaki, and Akimichi, representing the three major forces in Konoha.
The reason why the Senju clan is also included as a permanent director is because the Uchiha clan wants to balance the interests of various clans.
Under Uchiha Tokumitsu's example and words, the Uchiha clan gradually understood the importance of "balance" and "sustainability" and no longer pursued dominance.
After elevating the now weak Senju clan to a high position, the various ninja clans in Konoha realized the difference between the contemporary Uchiha clan's control and the time when the Hokage ruled Konoha - the Uchiha clan has enough The courage to accommodate the old rival.
Although reputation is an invisible and difficult-to-quantify influence, which is not as intuitive as the strength of a family's ninja army, after the Uchiha clan took the initiative to elevate the Senju to a high position, this resulted in the families becoming more obedient and obedient to government orders. I am convinced, and the hidden benefits gained from this are also extremely huge.
From then on, the Uchiha people truly understood what Uchiha Tokumitsu meant before, "Ninjas are not just about fighting and killing, ninjas also need to be humane."
But apparent status does not represent actual power.
Although the Senju clan obtained the permanent director's seat due to the initiative of the Uchiha clan, due to the fact that most of its family members are affiliated branch clans, and they are originally from the Senju branch lineage, after many years of mixed blood, Although their physical fitness and other aspects are still much better than ordinary civilian ninjas, there are really no strong ones, so the actual say of the Senju clan is far less than their nominal status.
Even Tsunade, the family talker, is only in charge of Konoha's medical system.
In other words, the seats of the Thousand Hands Clan still do not have enough power.
Therefore, Hatake Sakumo didn't think there was anything wrong with him and Uchiha Tokumitsu jointly receiving the secret envoy of Sunagakure.
After all, in the eyes of various ninja clans in Konoha, Senate President Uchiha Yikata is just a "puppet" introduced by Uchiha Tokumitsu to take charge of power on his behalf. The real talker has to be Uchiha Tokumitsu.
In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Uchiha Tokumitsu set the place where he would meet with the Sunagakure envoy at the Uchiha Shrine in Nanga River, and dispatched the Red Bei Team to implement martial law in the name of worshiping ancestors.
…
In the secret room of Minagawa Uchiha Shrine, Uchiha Tokumitsu saw for the first time the stone tablet left by the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
Although a lot of the content involves the history of the Uchiha clan and the origins and control skills of tailed beasts, the most critical end is still full of deception and conspiracy just like the memories of previous lives.
"The power of Senluo..."
Uchiha Tokko snorted coldly.
Although he is also full of desire for Yin Yang Escape, Uchiha Tokumitsu will not jump in even though he knows that the content of the stone tablet is full of pitfalls.
He would rather slowly arrange various topics, let Orochimaru and the Uzumaki Research Institute figure out how to weaken the side effects of Hashirama cells, and then transplant them when the time is right; even if the experiment will weaken the effectiveness of Hashirama cells, it doesn't matter.
He is still young anyway, and time is on his side.
As for why Uchiha Madara pinned his ideals on this ridiculous stone monument, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't understand and didn't want to understand. The only thing he wanted to do was to pick peaches and send his dear Madara a happy birthday after winning the Uchiha artifact Uchiwa Fan. Return to the pure land.
Of course, it would be great if Uchiha Madara's existing Rinnegan can be captured by the time.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"
Someone outside the secret room rang the doorbell.
"Lord Tokumitsu, the envoy of Sunagakure has arrived..."
A voice came in from outside the secret room door.
"Go and inform Sakumo-kun."
Uchiha Tokumitsu read it again with the Mangekyō Sharingan, wrote down what was recorded on the stone tablet, and then left.
The stele is like an IQ filter. Only those who believe in such nonsensical content will be executed in the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" plan.
Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that his brain was not as defective as age spots, so naturally he would not believe the so-called conclusions.
…
The secret room where I met the envoy of Sunagakure was the place where the Uchiha clan held clan meetings in the past. The interior decoration was simple and solemn, with the Uchiha clan's fan logo engraved everywhere.
Led by the attendant ninja, the Sunagakure envoy walked into the secret room with great anxiety.
"General Tokumitsu, Speaker Sakumo, and the jounin Rasa are hiding in the lower part of Sunagakure. They came here to pay their respects on the orders of the Kazekage-sama of this village."
After entering, Luo Sha bowed and saluted without saying anything.
"You're welcome, Lord Rasa, please sit down."
Uchiha Tokko said after hearing this.
The titles used by the envoy Sunagakure are also a bit interesting, especially the relatively rare and awkward title of Hatake Sakumo called Speaker.
However, it can also be judged from this that Sunagakure must be seeking to reach a certain consensus or understanding with Konoha this time.
"It's hard work for the envoy to come all the way. However, due to limited conditions, we can only receive him here. I hope you will forgive me for any neglect."
Hatake Sakumo also said with a smile.
"Chairman Sakumo is very polite. I came uninvited. It is a blessing to be received by these two adults. How can I be dissatisfied!"
Luo Sha said quickly.
Uchiha Tokko saw this and gave Rasa a higher rating.
Able to bend and stretch, he is indeed a man.
"The friendship between Konoha and Sunagakure has a long history, and they have always treated each other with sincerity; but I don't know why your country's regent Guan Bai sent envoys to visit?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu also changed his title to the title of the Third Kazekage.
When Luo Sha heard this, his face suddenly showed joy.
Although Hatake Sakumo had some objections to Uchiha Tokumitsu stating his attitude so simply, he didn't say much.
His main purpose of coming today was just to take a look, and he was not very willing to get involved in Sunagakure's affairs.
"Your Majesty the Regent is ready to invite the United Company to enter the Kingdom of Wind, and plans to order a batch of arms from the Uchiha clan."
Luo Sha also couldn't wait to put forward his own conditions.
"The United Company is a commercial organization after all. As the Governor of Konoha, it would not be good for me to be too involved in this matter..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was very satisfied, but he was still pretentious: "Let's do this, I will arrange business personnel to return to the Kingdom of Wind with you and discuss the company's entry with the person in charge of Sunagakure."
"As for arms procurement..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu touched his chin, "I wonder if the regent is going to make the purchase in the name of the Kingdom of Wind or the name of Sunagakure?"
"The Regent intends to turn the village into a country, so naturally he purchases arms in the name of the Country of Wind!"
Luo Sha also threw out his trump card without hesitation.
"Turning a village into a country... This is a feat that subverts the one-village-one-country system~"
Uchiha Tokko sighed: "What do you think? Sakumo-kun."
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone was a bit strange, Rasa no longer felt nervous as before.
The bet was right!
Luo Sha only felt that Uchiha Tokumitsu's attitude was acquiescence and even approval of Sunagakure's actions!
"...We are Konoha ninjas and we cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Wind Country and Sunagakure."
Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his limited support.
He has been in alliance with Uchiha Tokimitsu for a long time, and naturally he also knows Uchiha Tokimitsu's character and ambition, and he also knows his ambition to subvert the tradition of the ninja world.
What's more, Hatake Sakumo had no intention of sending precious Konoha ninjas to the desert to fight Sunagakure, nor was he willing to use the lives of fellow village ninjas to safeguard the interests of the daimyo nobles.
"Thank you General Tokumitsu and Speaker Sakumo for your support!"
The lithe Luo Sha bowed and thanked her again.
"However, it is not convenient for us to come forward to defend what Sunagakure has done, let alone form an alliance directly..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "But in order to maintain the long-standing friendship between the two parties, I can agree to the arms purchase you requested on behalf of the Uchiha clan."
"that's enough!"
Luo Sha said: "If possible, we also hope to sign a non-aggression treaty with the general..."
Is it a treaty?
Uchiha Tokko found it very interesting.
What he is best at is forcing other ninja villages to sign unequal treaties. As for the non-aggression treaty, this is the first time.
"Non-alignment is Konoha's attitude. Especially the alliance involving the two major ninja villages still needs to be discussed and voted on by the Konoha Senate and House of Representatives. If this is done, I'm afraid it will have some bad effects on Sunagakure."
Uchiha Tokko politely declined.
"You can also make a secret appointment..."
Luo Sha saluted again and said: "Moreover, the contracting party is the Governor-General's Mansion directly led by the regent Guan Bai and General Deguang of our country. It does not involve two countries or two villages..."
"Is it a secret agreement between the forces~"
Uchiha Tokko opened his eyes again.
He originally thought that most people in the ninja world were unruly and unruly people, but he didn't expect that Sunagakure in the desert could be so flexible.
"What do you think, Sakumo-kun?"
Uchiha Tokko's eyes turned to Hatake Sakumo.
"The Governor's Mansion is under the control of Lord Deguang, so he can do whatever he wants."
Hatake Sakumo said: "However, the Governor's Palace is still a part of Konoha. If Konoha makes another decision about Sunagakure in the future, the effectiveness of the secret agreement will also be subject to the decision of the two houses."
"It's a given!"
Rasa was afraid that Hatake Sakumo would change his mind after just a few words, so he quickly promised: "The non-aggression agreement is just our sincerity to General Tokumitsu in order to achieve permanent peace with Konoha. We will never interfere with the future interests of Konoha!"
"That's it..."
Uchiha Deguang said slowly: "But I still have one condition..."
"General Tokumitsu, please speak!"
Luo Sha said quickly.
"I hope that His Excellency the Regent Guanshiro can provide the most favorable treatment to all relevant personnel and organizations in Konoha."
Uchiha Demitsu said with a smile.
"What do you mean by this?"
Luo Sha was a little confused.
"Don't worry~I'll explain it to you in detail~"
The smile on Uchiha Tokumitsu's face grew wider.
