Although Uchiha Tokumitsu promised to retain the name of Kirigakure, it did not mean that he would really try to revive the strength of the Kirigakure Ninja Village Headquarters.
In his blueprint, Kirigakure's main role is to serve as a ninja training base to provide the shogunate with a steady stream of ninja force to support the shogunate's future foreign campaigns, thereby reducing the consumption of precious Uchiha ninjas and pro-nin clans.
Before returning to the Midway Island base to meet with the envoys of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, Uchiha Tokimitsu also formally announced at the Kirigakure jounin meeting that the leader of the three Zhengyi clans would be appointed as Kirigakure's guarding ninja clan.
Among them, the Oniden clan will be in charge of Kirigakure's government affairs, the Minazuki clan will be in charge of Kirigakure's finances, and the Kaguya clan, known for its violence, will control the ninja school.
As for the Kirigakure ANBU and the standing ninja army, they were all banned and merged into the control of the shogunate.
Although this method of disposal is quite simple and crude, and the character traits of the three clans may not be completely consistent with the powers they hold, Uchiha Tokimitsu does not need the ninjas of the three clans to be too conscientious or too popular, so this will make it more difficult. good.
In addition to the inherent powers of the three clans, Uchiha Tokumitsu also included all the Kirigakure jounin who surrendered to the jounin joint meeting, and the jounin meeting was responsible for task allocation and material allocation, thus completing the new Kirigakure. Initial reconstruction of the system.
Although the boundaries of the powers and responsibilities of each department are relatively rough, it is indeed very suitable to be applied to Kirigakure, which is full of waste. After all, even if the Kirigakure ninjas who are still in the prisoner of war camp are included, the Kirigakure ninja village only has more than 5,000 people. As a member of the Communist Party of China, what we need is not the efficiency of the New Deal, but a better army, simpler administration, and better health.
After the new Kirigakure affairs were properly arranged, Uchiha Tokumitsu led his troops across the sea to Midway Island to meet with the envoys of Kumogakure and Iwagakure.
Midway Island served as a military port and material storage area during the first Kirigakure conquest launched by the shogunate. In terms of construction purposes, it was an out-and-out fortress.
And unlike the ninja fortresses that are common in the ninja world and are similar to the samurai's counties, the architectural style of Midway Island seems very strange to Huangtu and Kirabi.
Of course, after all, this is also the first bastion in the ninja world.
"Irregular, the city wall is not regular at all..."
After arriving at Midway Island, Kirabi frowned and commented: "This is not artistic at all!"
"...To put it another way, what if you command the ninja army to attack this fortress?"
Huang Tu sneered and mocked: "Every attacking ninja army will be flanked by the ninjutsu of the two walls, plus the sealing technique of the shogunate... How many times the attacking ninja army do you think should be used to attack the defenders? Only then can we take down this fortress?”
Although the two of them were still not dealing with each other as always, after getting along with each other in Fubo City, where the shogunate was based, the two of them were still able to speak some truths while being sarcastic.
"...The bravery of the Kumogakure ninja is unparalleled in the world! No matter how powerful the defenders' ninjutsu is, they can't stop Kumogakure's attack!"
Kirabi was still very stubborn.
"So Kumogakure was defeated by the shogunate in frontal battle and was completely wiped out by the shogunate, and was beaten to a pulp by Kirigakure in the tug-of-war between offense and defense..."
Huang Tu continued to sneer: "If Kumo Gakure's bravery is only at this level, it would be better to let Iwagakure take over the Ninja Village as soon as possible. At least Iwagakure will not throw the village's ninjas in front of the formation and let them die in vain!"
"Haha... I remember that there is a quite commemorative gravel city within the jurisdiction of the Uchiha Fire Gate shogunate~ I must have experienced this before, right?"
Kirabi responded not to be outdone.
However, although the two were merciless, the two great ninja village shadows reached a preliminary agreement in private, that is, to stop hostilities and face each other as one.
Even in order to facilitate this matter and show sincerity, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki even stated that he could conditionally cede Iwagakure's Thunder Country occupied area, and Kumogakure would take it back and take over in the form of redemption.
"Two envoys, Lord De Guang have arrived at the headquarters, please follow me."
Just when the two were showing no mercy, a shogunate ninja suddenly landed in front of the two and said.
Huangtu and Kirabi looked at each other, their expressions becoming serious.
The main dish is here...
Uchiha Tokumitsu met the two of them in the headquarters conference room on Midway Island.
"General Tokumitsu, long time no see."
Huangtu, who arrived at the conference room following the guidance of the shogunate ninja, saluted Uchiha Tokko immediately.
"Long time no see, please take a seat."
Uchiha Tokko nodded slightly in response.
"...I was ordered to come here this time because there are some matters that I need to consult with Your Majesty the General."
After taking a seat, Huang Tu was the first to speak.
Kirabi, who had an outgoing temperament, kept his mouth shut and remained silent.
"But it doesn't matter."
Uchiha Tokko didn't take it seriously either.
Although it was somewhat rude for Huang Tu to ask such a question, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't take it seriously. In his eyes, these "NPC" background characters were just calculation targets.
"...Then please forgive me, General."
Huang Tu asked seriously: "I wonder how the shogunate will deal with Kirigakure?"
"This matter is related to the five major ninja villages and the one-village-one-country system that lays the foundation for peace in the ninja world. We cannot be careless."
Kirabi also spoke up.
"Is this a problem between the two great shinobi village shadows?"
Uchiha Tokko knocked on the table lightly and asked.
"Yes, after arriving at the shogunate and learning that the general had won a great victory in the Meiryo Sea Battle, the Tsuchikage of this village entrusted me to ask the general about the matter face to face."
Huang Tu said with a serious face.
"The Raikage-sama of this village also means the same thing."
Kirabi continued to take the job.
"Matters related to the Kirigakure Ninja Village are the internal affairs of the Water Country, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere..."
The expression on Uchiha Tokumitsu's face also became slightly solemn, "The shogunate will respect the traditions of Kirigakure and adhere to the principles of mysticism..."
"So, who will take over as the Mizukage?"
Loess interrupted Uchiha Tokko's words rudely again.
The shogunate ninjas in the conference room had angry faces, and their right hands began to press on the handles of their swords.
Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand, indicating that the reaction of his subordinates did not need to be so big.
"Have Iwagakure and Kumogakure decided to stand together?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu did not respond to Huang Tu's question, but asked from a different angle.
"...The one-village-one-country system is the foundation for peace in the shinobi world established by Hashirama-sama. Otherwise, it would be blasphemy, let alone subversion!"
Huang Tu said with piety on his face.
If it weren't for the appearance of those three big and five thick men who were completely different from the appearance of the Senju clan, Uchiha Tokumitsu would have thought that he was a blood descendant of the Senju clan!
"Outdated systems need to be revised, and there has never been any ancestral family law that is hard to change..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu responded: "Of course, it is a good thing that Iwagakure and Kumogakure choose to stand together. After all, the two major ninja villages have eliminated the source of war between each other, and it is also conducive to working together to build a beautiful ninja world..."
"Lord Tokumitsu, may I ask how the shogunate will deal with Kirigakure, and who will take over as the next generation of Mizukage?"
Huang Tu still asked reluctantly.
"No more Mizukage."
Uchiha Tokko snorted coldly, "Kirigakure will go through the same thorough restructuring as Konoha and move towards the bright road of the Jonin Republic!"
"Understood……"
This time, Kirabi grabbed Huangtu, who was full of anger and was about to say something, and said with a cold expression: "I'm just here to get to know you a little bit, and I don't intend to take any unfriendly actions towards the shogunate." , General, please don’t misunderstand..."
Today's Kumogakure is no longer the second most powerful in the ninja world. After many defeats, not only the talent in the village has withered, but there are few strong ones, and most of the spirit has been knocked out. It was originally a high-spirited escape. The proud Kirabi also learned to read people's eyes.
What's more, it would be unwise to fall out with Uchiha Tokimitsu in the shogunate's base.
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded and said that he didn't care about these red tapes. After a few simple greetings, Kirabi took Loess and left.
"Yan Yin Yunyin..."
After the two left, Uchiha Tokko also fell into deep thought.
He naturally understood what kind of shock annexing Kirigakure would cause among the senior officials of the major ninja villages.
Especially Kumogakure and Iwagakure, who still adhere to the one-village-one-country system, will regard the shogunate as a thorn in their side from now on, but they did not expect that the two major ninja villages would react so quickly.
Not long ago, they were intent on killing each other on the battlefield, but now they seem to be showing signs of joining forces to fight against the outside world... It can only be said that only interests are the link between the Ninja Village.
Moreover, at this time, the shogunate's old strength was exhausted and new strength was yet to emerge. In order to maintain its rule over the Land of Water and Kirigakure, it was difficult for the shogunate to deploy ninja troops to put pressure on the two major ninja villages.
Therefore, we can only sit back and watch the two major ninja villages move closer to each other...
However, for at least five years, the dilapidated Kumogakure will not be a concern. As for Iwagakure, they may be able to continue to suppress and consume its strength by increasing support for Sunagakure.
In this way, the shogunate in Kirigakure can sit back and watch the changes in the ninja world, waiting for the opportunity to unify the ninja world in one fell swoop.
"And Misura Hazaki..."
Uchiha Tokko thought of another question.
In addition to Kumogakure and Iwagakure, Konoha's envoy Mimura Hazaki returned to the village without even planning to come to meet him. This also shows that there is always a group of people in the village, even if they have now become vested interests. , but I still have some special feelings for the old times in my heart.
But the ninja world is, after all, a world that values strength.
Uchiha Tokumitsu's fist is strong enough, even if there are still many dissidents in Konoha, as long as his personal strength continues to rise and the shogunate slowly digests the results of annexing Kirigakure over time, those people in the future will also Can't afford any trouble.
In addition, there is another advantage, that is, Konoha and the Uchiha clan have essentially formed a "you among me, and you among me" structure. In addition, Uchiha Tokumitsu is also the governor of Konoha personally conferred by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. There is no shortage of strength or status, and naturally he is not afraid of what trouble those dissatisfied people can cause.
Besides, the next step is nothing more than "draw one faction and fight another faction". Uchiha Tokumitsu is already very skilled at this kind of work.
"The Thousand Hands Clan, the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly Clan..."
Uchiha Tokko took a pen and paper and started calculating.
Speaking of the stubborn conservative forces in Konoha, it is naturally led by the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan's thousand-year rival.
Then add the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly clan, the remnants of the Third Generation. After all, they still have a popular senior, Akimichi Takafou, who is in charge of the overall situation.
"The Ninja School..."
Uchiha Tokko wrote three more words on the paper.
The so-called ninja school refers to the group of people who grew up in the ninja school when the second generation Senju Tobirama was in charge of Konoha.
They may be more or less opposed to the rule of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, and have also gained some benefits from the restructuring of Konoha, but compared with the direct lineage of Hatake Sakumo and the Uchiha clan who have swallowed up most of the power, their gains are It's just leftovers.
But since you want to pull one faction to fight another, you must create an opponent who looks powerful but is actually extremely loose. So Uchiha Tokko drew a circle on the paper and circled the Senju clan, the Inaraka butterfly clan and the Ninja school faction. together.
"Let's use you guys as targets..."
Uchiha Demitsu nodded quite contentedly.
It's endless fun to fight with others.
Continuing to fight against this kind of loose sand can more or less alert the over-expanded Uchiha clan to avoid becoming the Eight Banners waste in the previous life, which is useless except for talking.
Uchiha Tokumitsu wrote a few words——
"Hatake Sakumo, the Reform Council, the Small and Medium Ninja Clan and the Civilian Ninja Alliance."
"Hinata, Inuzuka, Aburame and other neutral ninja clan alliance."
Finally, I wrote "Uchiha clan" and "affiliated ninja clan".
Uchiha Tokumitsu suddenly hesitated again, crossed out the four words "affiliated with the ninja clan" and wrote a few more words:
"United Company."
Then I thought about it again, put a bracket after the joint company and added a few words: "joint-stock reform."
In this way, the situation in Konoha and even the ninja world becomes clear.
Uchiha Tokko flicked the paper with great satisfaction.
Including the nine-tailed Jinchuuriki who are still in the Uzumaki clan, the Uchiha clan now essentially controls four tailed beasts, three of which are in their own hands.
Therefore, even if a new round of ninja war is immediately launched, the shogunate, or the Konoha faction represented by the Uchiha clan, will not be afraid. Anyway, no matter how the war situation changes and how the internal affairs of Konoha change, the Uchiha clan will sit back and relax. .
In this case, Uchiha Tokumitsu, who has taken the initiative, can take time out and focus on self-cultivation and exploration. After all, after successive battles, Uchiha Tokumitsu has also discovered his own shortcomings and shortcomings. It will take some time to make amends.
Moreover, Uchiha Madara, who escaped with serious injuries, and Black Zetsu lurking in the dark, are always a scourge that cannot be ignored. If they are not found and killed, Uchiha Tokumitsu will never sleep well.
But the premise of all this needs to be based on a ninja world environment that cannot be broken through fighting.
Then Uchiha Tokumitsu continued to take out new paper and wrote a few large characters on it:
"The Ninja World Balance Policy!"
