Uchiha's opinion

Chapter 105 Battle of Ideas
On the third day after withdrawing from the battlefield, the Hokage Order from Konoha was sent to the temporary station of the Mobile Force in the northern part of the Kawano Country.

In the decree, Hokage enthusiastically praised Hatake Sakumo for his great achievements in the battle against Sand Hidden in the Kingdom of Kawa, and believed that this battle would lay the foundation for at least five years of peace on the western border of Konoha. The true heir of the Will of Fire, Yunyun.

As for Uchiha Tokumitsu, the imperial edict also mentioned the sentence "Heroic combat deserves to be a descendant of Uchiha", and then it disappeared.

This letter is shocking to read.

If Uchiha Tokumitsu hadn't already established an alliance with Hatake Sakumo and supported him in running for the position of the squad leader of the ninja class, I'm afraid he would have cursed immediately after seeing the content of this edict.

Even so, Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help showing disgust.

At this time, I still play this kind of low-level pen and ink tricks. I really don’t understand how Konoha F4 can secure its high-level position.

"Mr. Deguang, the content of the edict is indeed unfair, but..."

Hatake Sakumo also felt that his face was dull, but he didn't know what to say.

"I see."

Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand to indicate that there is no need to explain, "It's just Sakumo-kun, are you sure you're ready?"

"This is definitely..."

Hatake Sakumo replied hesitantly.

"Promotion to the top is not as leisurely as treating guests to a meal, nor is it as straightforward as killing the enemy in front of the battle. It requires exchanges and compromises." Uchiha Tokumitsu said seriously, "Maybe there will be all kinds of gossip, making things difficult and slandering, what do you do?" Are you mentally prepared to bear all this?"

"I'm ready to open the new Konoha!" Hatake Sakumo said firmly, meeting Uchiha Tokumitsu's gaze.

"Our new Konoha..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu held out his hand.

Hatake Sakumo also reached out and held Uchiha Tokumitsu tightly.

……

Shinkonoha!
This is Sakumo Hatake's election manifesto.

After receiving the Hokage order, Uchiha Tokumitsu sent the red reserve team back to the Daimyo Mansion in the Country of Grass to continue to garrison, and together with Hatake Sakumo led the mobile unit to embark on the return journey.

At the same time, Sakumo Hatake's philosophy began to be formally promoted.

Hatake Sakumo believes that Konoha has shown signs of decline, while the four major ninja villages are constantly rising. With the power changing, Konoha is very likely to lose the strongest ninja village in the future. status.

In the past, the structure of the ninja world was "one superpower and four strong", but now it is the top five; and it is this relatively balanced situation of the strength of the five major ninja villages that has created the current situation of frequent wars in the ninja world.

Therefore, in order to restore peace, one of the strongest Ninja villages needs to stand up to maintain peace.

Through overwhelming strength, forcing the major ninja villages to abandon war and plunder to achieve the rise of ninja villages is the only way to achieve peace at present.

And Konoha, doing his part, is the super ninja village who stood up to maintain peace!
But the current Konoha is stagnant due to various disadvantages, so it is in urgent need of reform and injection of vitality to realize the review of Ninja Village and even peace in the Ninja World.

Although this concept seems to be deviant, it makes some sense when you think about it carefully.

The vision of maintaining peace in the ninja world has united the dove faction in the village; and the idea of ​​realizing Konoha's revival and becoming the strongest in the ninja world has won the support of the martial arts faction.

Therefore, before Tokumitsu Uchiha and Sakumo Hatake returned to Konoha, the ideas he preached had been widely spread among the ninjas on Konoha, and gradually spread to the broad chunin class.

All ideas and beliefs in the world cannot be overwhelmingly supported, and no matter how perfect theories are, they may be found out and attacked.

In particular, Konoha F4 knows that Hatake Sakumo intends to be the leader of the ninja class, and has formed an alliance with the thorny Uchiha clan, so they will definitely spread unfavorable remarks in secret.

For example, Hatake Sakumo is Uchiha's thug trying to control Konoha, or "New Konoha" is splitting Konoha, which will make Konoha worse, etc. Various opinions of support or opposition are flying around Konoha.

When Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo led their troops back to Konoha, even ordinary villagers in Konoha already knew Hatake Sakumo's philosophy and the resulting ideological dispute.

But to touch the ideology is to touch the reverse scale of Konoha F4.

Therefore, when Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo arrived at Konoha, not only did no high-level officials come to greet them, but after Hatake Sakumo returned to his home, many villagers often shouted and cursed at the door. Hatake Sakumo is the sinner who split Konoha.

For these people, Uchiha Deguang will naturally not be used to it.

Under his arrangement, Uchiha teammates from the police department, who are like tigers, arrested all the villagers who dared to offend and threw them into the prison of the police department. No matter who interceded, they were not allowed to release them.

Even when Anbu, who was peeping secretly, tried to obstruct him, he was mercilessly rejected by the police department.

Tokumitsu Uchiha is not focused on making trouble with the current high-level Konoha, nor is he thinking about launching a political change at this time to change the fate of Konoha F4. If the other party is willing, it is not impossible to sit down and talk, but the premise is not Blocking the plan of himself and Hatake Sakumo.

Afterwards, there was a rumor that "Sakumo Hatake and the Uchiha clan were in collusion" immediately.

……

In the past, Konoha's only mainstream thinking was "Will of Fire", lacking a real development program.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has continued to expand and extend it, the already weak "will of fire" still cannot convince all Konoha people.

Especially the fighters.

Although Sakumo Hatake's idea also did not involve specific implementation operations, it at least proposed a goal.

On the third day after returning to the village, Hatake Sakumo, who was harassed by rumors, came to the Uchiha tribe again to talk to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"Mr. Deguang..."

As soon as they met, Hatake Sakumo sighed again and again.

"Does this bother you?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a smile: "We are abruptly snatching benefits from other people's pockets, and these rumors and gossips are just as they should be."

That being the case, even though Tokumitsu Uchiha had vaccinated Hatake Sakumo in advance, when facing criticism and slander, Hatake Sakumo found that his heart was not as strong as he imagined.

"You know, my essence is for the good of Konoha..."

Hatake Sakumo looked very depressed.

He didn't understand why he attracted so much criticism just because he wanted to contribute more to the village.

"Because some people feel that, like them, you only think about yourself for the sake of the village."

Uchiha Tokumitsu patted Hatake Sakumo on the shoulder: "No one can satisfy everyone, not even Konoha Shirato."

"But I don't see my supporters coming out either..."

Although Hatake Sakumo's expression softened slightly, he was still a little frustrated.

"Your supporters are the silent majority of the village."

Uchiha Tokumitsu first gave Hatake Sakumo a reassurance.

"It's not that they don't support you, they're just waiting and watching."

"Wait and see?" Hatake Sakumo was a little puzzled.

"Yes." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied affirmatively: "They want to see your determination to reform and your strength in the face of obstacles!"

"Then what should I do?"

Hatake Sakumo asked modestly.

Although the ages of the two are far apart, due to the difference in the level of ideas, in most of the previous exchanges, Tokumitsu Uchiha dominated most of the time, and Sakumo Hatake also developed the habit of asking morality when things go wrong. habit of light.

"Stand upright and visit your supporters!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone gradually became high: "Show your attitude, explain your ideas, and fight for the support you deserve!"

"In this way, even if they won't stand up to speak for you, they will vote for you without hesitation when voting at the Jōnin Conference!"

"As for the opponents, when we succeed, all the slander or criticism will disappear! Only the victor will always be brilliant!"

"Konoha's reform will definitely lift the curtain on the path to glory from the Jonin Conference!"

"As for the timing of the Jonin meeting, Sakumo-kun don't have to worry." Uchiha Tokumitsu patted Hatake Sakumo on the shoulder vigorously: "Even if the higher-ups deliberately delay, I will unite with the Jonin of the family to jointly initiate a motion , no one can stand in the way of our unbreakable alliance!"

"I understand……"

Hatake Sakumo took a deep breath, "I will firmly promote the progress of Shinkonoha!"

After speaking, Hatake Sakumo bowed his head in salute.

Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly got up to avoid it, and pulled Hatake Sakumo up.

After chatting about some details, Hatake Sakumo got up to leave.

After Hatake Sakumo was sent away, Uchiha Tokumitsu returned to the living room again.

Sit down again and make tea again.

"Elder, don't you want to come out?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said to the wall behind him.

Elder Setsuna came out from the dark room behind the living room.

Since obtaining the Uzumaki Clan's sealing technique secret book, the Uchiha Clan's sealing enchantment level has improved by leaps and bounds. After careful arrangement, even as keen as Sakumo, he couldn't detect that there was still someone listening to this conversation in the side room.

"Deguang-jun, have you made up your mind?"

Elder Setsuna picked up the teacup and sipped the tea carefully.

"Yes." Uchiha Tokumitsu poured another cup of tea for Elder Setsuna, "The family needs allies, and Sakumo-kun happens to be the most suitable person."

"It's really suitable to have a strong personal strength and a famous reputation but a weak family power."

Elder Setsuna commented objectively, and then changed the topic: "But is he really suitable? His character is not suitable for Konoha's high-level political struggle."

"...It's better than our Uchiha."

Tokumitsu Uchiha lowered his head and continued to play with the tea set, while he was observing Elder Setsuna's expression from the corner of his eye,

"Then how does Mr. Deguang want to arrange for the family?"

Although Tokumitsu Uchiha's words were not pleasant to hear, Elder Setsuna didn't care.

He couldn't be more clear about the virtues of the clansmen.

"Reform and expand power of police department."

Uchiha Tokumitsu replied succinctly.

"The police department..."

Elder Setsuna remembered the preparatory training school for the police department that Tokumitsu Uchiha had suggested to set up.

"That's fine, anyway, I'm an outdated old man. I won't interfere with what you do anymore. I also believe that you can do well..."

Elder Shan Mo stood up with admiration on his face and prepared to leave.

Uchiha Tokumitsu also hurriedly got up to see him off.

When he got out to the door, Elder Setsuna waved his hand to tell Uchiha Tokumitsu not to send him off.

"No matter what you do, I will support you, let it go!"

"The situation won't get any worse anyway."

Uchiha Tokumitsu also bowed and answered.

Elder Setsuna nodded slightly.
