What happened to Taki Ninja made other Ninja Villages remain silent.
In a very short period of time, the ninja troops from the Tokko Shogunate, the Fire Gate Shogunate, and the United Company quickly forced a medium-sized ninja village to kneel down and beg for mercy. In the eyes of other ninja villages, this is simply a devil. Bullying in general!
The most important thing is that Taki Ninja has no chance to fight back!
The border troops fled without a fight, and the martial arts ninja army was easily defeated. Although the losses were not large, the Taki ninja who had been at peace for a long time were already frightened by it.
Even the tailed beasts who regarded it as the ultimate weapon did not dare to let it appear in front of the Uchiha clan, which was so powerful in the ninja world with its Sharingan.
This battle cannot be fought!
After sending envoys to Iwagakure and Kumogakure for help but failed to get in, the senior Taki-nin finally accepted their fate.
——It’s impossible not to accept your fate. Taki Ninja's Nanao is quite a deterrent when used to deal with other ninja villages, but if it is used to compete with the Uchiha clan... then it is purely like a meat bun beating a dog with no return, so it is better to just throw in the towel and admit defeat. If you lie down and let Uchiha Tokumitsu do what you want, you might be able to get some mercy and preserve some of the interests of the higher-ups.
"... Kirigakure has been defeated, so even if we surrender, it won't be a shame."
A senior Taki ninja said so.
Although these words sounded quite shameless, in the ears of a group of dejected senior Taki ninjas, they were as moving as heavenly music.
"That's right..."
"To be honest, although our Taki ninja is the sixth ninja village, our actual strength is still far behind Kirigakure. So..."
"There is no shame in losing to Uchiha, the most powerful family in the ninja world!"
"It is an honor for Taki-nin to contribute to Lord Tokumitsu's investigation of Jiraiya's traitor!"
In this way, the senior Taki-nin reached a consensus and quickly changed their attitude. On the last day of the ultimatum issued by Uchiha Shiina, they once again sent envoys to the Uchiha-nin army command center.
As for those Taki-nin fighting factions who were put under guard after the defeat, the senior officials regarded them as a burden. Many active surrender factions even dismissed them as sinners who destroyed the friendship between Konoha and Taki-nin, clamoring to hand them over. To be dealt with by the Uchiha Ninja Army in order to maintain the "long-lasting friendship" between the two villages.
Fortunately, the current generation Taki-nin leader still had some brains. After hesitating for a long time, he finally considered that he still had to take into account the hearts and minds of the lower-level ninjas in the village, so he refused to hand over the martial arts faction.
But even so, when the news that the senior officials sent envoys to sign a surrender agreement spread in the Taki-nin headquarters, the Taki-nin still fell into deep depression.
…
"There is no hope for this village!"
Tanisuke, the leader of the Taki Ninja Fighting Faction, summoned his Jonin in a secret room.
"Lord Tanisuke, let's rebel!"
A Taki ninjoun said excitedly: "Now the village is in a state of excitement. As long as we raise the flag of justice, we will surely be united. It will be easy to overthrow those corrupt and incompetent senior officials in one fell swoop!"
"If a thousand people are of the same mind, the power of a thousand people will be gained; if a thousand people of different minds are of the same mind, there will be no use for one person!"
"The unpopularity of the top management is a perfect opportunity for our martial arts faction to take power!"
"Then let's intercept and kill the surrender envoy now!"
Several other injured Taki-nin prepared to stand up.
"Nonsense!"
Gusuke, the leader of the martial arts faction, angrily shouted: "Are you really willing to start a civil war in the village?"
"There are nearly four thousand ninjas in the village. How many of them will support us! Those weak people don't dare to fight the Uchiha ninja army. Do you think they don't dare to fight us?"
"And those bullies like Iwagakure and Kumogakure are completely hopeless!"
"Only by working hard and keeping a low profile can we make a comeback in the future! If we act rashly, it will only lead to disaster!"
After Tanizuke squirted wildly, the secret room fell into a dead silence.
"...Tanisuke-sama, what should we do?"
After a long time, someone broke the silence.
"Let's assemble our ninja army and leave the village!"
As soon as Gusuke said this, everyone was shocked, "Only in this way can we have a future!"
"The ninja world is so big, where can we be accommodated..."
A Taki nin jounin said hesitantly.
"Go north! Rebuild a new Taki Ninja Village!"
Tanisuke said very firmly: "As long as we leave the village and not leave the country, we will have the opportunity to recruit ninjas who gradually understand the nature of the village's senior leaders to sell the village for glory. Under the circumstances, we still have the possibility to bring order to the chaos!"
"If we leave the village...what will happen if the village interferes?"
The jounin under his command were still hesitant.
"Then fight!"
Tanisuke's tone became even colder, "As long as we are prepared for civil war, then civil war will not really happen!"
"Gentlemen! Please believe me again!"
Tanisuke's tone became extremely sincere.
All the Taki-nin fighting faction jounin looked at each other in confusion.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about fighting against the Uchiha clan. After all, they have been easily defeated once. If you want to resist the high-level chaos, just raise righteousness in the village; but what is the so-called leaving the village without leaving the country? ? Gather together so that the Uchiha ninja army can be wiped out in one fell swoop?
"Lord Tanisuke! Let's go with you!"
A Taki ninja jonin stood up resolutely and shouted.
"Rebuild our new Taki-nin!"
Immediately, several more jounin stood up and shouted.
"It's the opposite!"
"It's okay to stay in this shabby village!"
"If the higher-ups dare to stop us, we'll start fighting!"
Led by several "pioneers", the originally hesitant Taki ninja jounin finally gritted their teeth and made up their minds.
Tanizuke also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I arranged care in advance, otherwise it would be really troublesome...
…
"We are going to fight a war on terror for the entire ninja world!"
In the office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Uchiha Tokumitsu said to Hatake Sakumo.
"What is anti-terrorism?"
Hatake Sakumo humbly asked for advice.
"As the name suggests, it is against terrorist attacks."
Uchiha Tokko explained.
"...But what is the connection between anti-terrorism and Taki-nin?"
Hatake Sakumo picked up the contract signed by the shogunate and Taki Shinobu on the table and turned it over again.
Except for not taking over the Ninja Village directly, almost everything in Taki Country is open to the shogunate and the United Company.
The shogunate can set up its own military base in Takino Country and carry out military operations on its own, and the ninja army cannot ask or interfere with the deployment of Taki's ninjas; the caravans under the United Company enjoy tax-free treatment, and gold yuan coupons are treated the same as the currency of Takino Country. …
Speaking of which, even if the Country of Grass has completely become a vassal of the Uchiha clan, the loss of its own rights and interests is not so outrageous!
"The geographical location of Taki-nin may become the second source of anti-Konoha after the Rain Country."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said matter-of-factly and confidently: "So, we must save them now before they completely go down the wrong path!"
"Although the Taki-nin have lost their sovereignty, they have been protected!"
Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo suddenly felt a headache.
All this time, he couldn't figure out where Uchiha Tokumitsu's weird and arrogant logic of hegemony came from. Obviously, there has never been such a precedent in the ninja world!
"Alas... Taki-nin actually signed it..."
What is most incomprehensible is that the senior management of Taki-nin is actually willing to sign this extremely harsh and traitorous agreement.
"So, I plan to set up a standing ninja army in the country of Taki for long-term anti-terrorism operations..."
Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled broadly.
Although he was the governor of Konoha and had the power to control the Ninja Army, after all, he initiated the establishment of the Senate and House of Representatives system, and Hatake Sakumo has always been an ally, so Uchiha Tokimitsu was still willing to go through the process.
Anyway, even if the jounin of other factions in the village have objections, with the number of Uchiha clan and pro-nin clan, they can pass a motion that is beneficial to them with a superior vote.
"What is the planned number of personnel for this new ninja army?"
Hatake Sakumo had no intention of obstructing it.
"How about two thousand four hundred people?"
Uchiha Tokumitsu already had a case in mind.
"this……"
Hatake Sakumo felt a headache again.
To be honest, this number is not that large, but it better meets Sakumo Hatake's highest psychological expectations.
"The Northwest Border Defense Force now has nearly 2,000 people, plus this anti-terrorism force..."
Hatake Sakumo thought about it and said, "I guess Onoki-dono of Iwagakure won't be able to sleep again."
"Ahem...the existence of the anti-terrorism force will not affect Iwagakure and Kumogakure."
Uchiha Tokumitsu once again gave a futile explanation, "We are targeting the terrorist organization headed by Jiraiya and secretly supported by Myobokuyama..."
"Hmm! I understand~ But I hope Raikage and Tsuchikage will also accept this statement~"
Hatake Sakumo shrugged and picked up another document on the table, "Akatsuki Organization... Jiraiya actually had such a name, it's a bit interesting..."
"It's just three or two big and small kittens...it takes so much effort..."
Looking at the list of "Konan (suspected genin), Yahiko (suspected chuunin)" and a bunch of genin in the information, Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but shook his head.
"The core is still those aliens in Miaomu Mountain."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said: "The so-called holy land still has some background, and it must not be underestimated."
"The House of Representatives will schedule a vote tomorrow."
Hatake Sakumo is no longer persistent.
Anyway, the Senate is controlled by Uchiha Shigata, the nominal leader of the Uchiha clan. Hatake Sakumo only needs to pass it in the House of Representatives.
…
The proposal to establish a new standing ninja army was passed unanimously by both houses of the House of Representatives and the Senate without any problems, and this was regarded as a landmark event for Konoha's unity to the outside world.
Uchiha Tokumitsu officially named this ninja army the "Northern Counter-Terrorism Force", giving this new army the responsibility of coordinating anti-terrorism operations in small countries such as Takino Country, Frost Country, and Tian Country.
As for the first candidate for commander, Uchiha Tokumitsu, in line with the principle of "promoting talents without avoiding relatives", directly changed his cousin Uchiha Shiina from the director of the North District Police Station to the commander of the anti-terrorism force.
As for the vacant position of the North District Police Station, the secret guard, Chang Uchiha, was directly parachuted in to hold it first. As for the best candidate in his mind, it was Minato Namikaze.
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu has not truly seized the positions of clan leader and police chief, this is mainly due to his transcendent status as the governor of Konoha. To seize power downwards is not only inappropriate but also seems too small. And since the Uchiha clan's artifact, the Flame Dan Fan, was recaptured, the power of the Uchiha clan has naturally been concentrated in the hands of Uchiha Tokimitsu.
As for the clan leaders, they didn't say much. They just guarded the authority of the Senate and continued to arrange clan members of their faction into various agencies under the Senate, giving up all the power of the family and the police department.
It is this very natural excess of power that allows the Uchiha clan to complete the change of power in an extremely harmonious atmosphere.
In the final analysis, it is because today's Uchiha clan is different from the past. They have enough benefits for distribution and can satisfy everyone's appetite, so everyone does not need to be involved in death or even come to the edge of civil war.
Coupled with the murderous attack on conservatives planned by Jiraiya, the last opposition voice within the family was completely wiped out.
Originally, after seizing power in Konoha, there were still about seventy family ninjas who still stood in the conservative camp. However, in the massacre, thirty-four conservative ninjas were killed in one go. The already weak conservative ninjas It completely lost the reason to maintain it.
The great revenge advocated by Uchiha Tokumitsu and the law of disbanding factions caused the conservatives to completely collapse.
As Elder Setsuna said, the Uchiha clan is now a complete clan.
…
"The war on terror..."
After receiving the recruitment edict issued by the Governor's Palace, the Hyuga clan leader looked extremely complicated.
He felt that he had compromised enough and even allowed those branch ninjas who served in the shogunate to have their own way. However, Uchiha Tokumitsu still went further and continued to recruit branch ninjas from within the Hyuga clan under various names.
As for those ninjas who broke away from the family control and obtained positions in the shogunate, the clan simply did not dare to dominate and kill them as before.
The two sons of the Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi, sat on both sides, not daring to breathe. As for the elders of the Zong family, although they looked angry, they also did not speak.
Everyone was waiting for the Hyuga clan leader to set the tone.
"This is a soft knife to cut flesh..."
Finally, the Hyuga clan leader slowly put down the recruitment order that he had read countless times, sighed and said bleakly.
His two sons and the clan elders still remained silent.
The attitude is not clear enough, and this is not the right time to take a stand.
"The family has to endure the humiliation... My generation really has no choice."
The leader of the Hyuga clan has long been familiar with the attitude of his clan members, "Hyuuga..."
"Father!"
Hinata Hinashi straightened up immediately.
"From now on, you must unite with Hizashi to maintain the stability of the family..."
Hearing this, Hinata Hizashi straightened up immediately.
However, the Hyuga clan leader seemed to have something in his words, and all the clan elders looked at each other in confusion.
"The recruitment order from the Governor's Palace requires the recruitment of sixty branch ninjas. There is no way to refuse...Hizashi, I plan to let you command them...",
The Hyuga clan leader looked at his second son, "You don't have any objections, do you?"
"Father..."
Hinata Hizashi stood up quickly and tried to explain.
"alright!"
The head of the Hyuga clan waved his hand to interrupt Hyuga Hizashi's words, "From now on, you are the head of the branch family!"
"As for you...Rizu, prepare to take the throne next year!"
The Hyuga clan leader ignored the clan elders whose faces changed drastically and announced his decision.
