Uchiha's opinion

Chapter 281
Facts have proved that Uzumaki Weiming is indeed a very sensible person.

After the capture of the headquarters of Kirigakure Ninja Village, the original Kirigakure Mizukage Building was immediately renamed the General Administration Office, as the place where Uchiha Tokumitsu was stationed in Kirigakure, and all Kirigakure confidential documents were also collected and archived one by one. Wait for Uchiha Deguang to deal with it.

The daimyo of the country of water also sent envoys to congratulate him very wittily, expressing his recognition of Uchiha Tokumitsu's rule over Kirigakure, and tactfully expressed his willingness to give Uchiha Tokumitsu another title.

"How much military spending does the daimyo plan to allocate to Ninja Village?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu asked Konoe Atsuji, an old acquaintance who served as a messenger.

"...the military spending of the shogunate can be doubled every year."

Konoe Atsuji said very skillfully: "Kirigakure is under the rule of the general, adhering to the principle of separation of the secular world and Ninja Village, His Highness Daimyo will never interfere in the affairs of Ninja Village, and the military expenditure will be directly transferred to the shogunate, and the general will You allocate and use it yourself."

"The southern archipelago is a territory under the shogunate..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said calmly.

"Of course!"

Konoe Atsushi immediately said: "The southern archipelago is the hereditary territory of Your Excellency the General. This is a fact recognized by everyone in the Land of Water!"

"Isn't it a bit unfair to rule in such a split-earth manner?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu chuckled: "Don't the nobles have any opinions?"

"The Uchiha family is a wealthy ninja family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is a matter of course to dominate one side."

Konoe Atsushi's attitude was as respectful as ever: "His Royal Highness also hopes that Your Excellency General can revive the glory of the country of water, and spread the prestige of Wuyin to the ninja world..."

"Furthermore, the position of Guan Bai in China has been vacant for a long time, and I hope that Your Excellency, General, will spare no effort to take up this position..."

"Not reluctantly?"

"Don't force it!"

"Isn't that against the norm?"

"All ninjas are nobles, this is very reasonable!"

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded in satisfaction.

Three requests and three speeches are too old-fashioned, and Uchiha Tokumitsu even asking twice is considered very face-saving.

Moreover, Uchiha Tokumitsu is not worried that it will cause the so-called public discussion in the ninja world to rebound.

The advantage of the sausage-cutting tactic lies in this point. As long as you persevere, others will get used to every "progress" made by the shogunate.

After all, from the perspective of time, the expansion of the power of the shogunate always seems so natural.

"...By the way, I heard that His Highness Daming is not in good health, is that true?"

As if suddenly thinking of something, Uchiha Tokumitsu asked seemingly casually.

"His Royal Highness..."

Konoe Atsuji opened his mouth to defend himself, but suddenly his mind flashed and he got stuck.

"After all, we ninjas don't understand government affairs, so since His Highness Daimyo is feeling unwell, I wonder if Mr. Konoe is willing to take more responsibility for the country?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu asked with a smile.

"This this……"

Konoe Atsushi stammered for a long time, unable to speak a complete sentence.

Both thrilling and exciting.

He naturally understood the meaning of Uchiha Tokumitsu's words, but as a daimyo close minister and distant relative of the public clan, he really couldn't bear to take refuge on the spot.

Moreover, if he expresses his position in front of Uchiha Tokumitsu, he will surely become the "enemy" in the minds of daimyo nobles without any surprises.

It's just that, compared with the general's puppet, the daimyo's close minister is more important, in fact, he also has a sense of proportion in his heart.

"The position of Guanbai is the regent who governs a country on behalf of the daimyo..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said leisurely: "However, the military affairs of the shogunate are busy, and I need time to practice, so it is difficult to fulfill the responsibility of Guan Bai's regent..."

Konoe Atsushi's heart beat faster and faster.

Unlike the natives of the ninja world who are accustomed to being divided and doing things in their own way, Tokumitsu Uchiha has a deep-rooted identity with the memory of his previous life, "mixing the universe and returning to one".

But everything should not be rushed, the meal must be eaten bite by bite so as not to choke, and the daimyo and nobles also need time to slowly adapt to the transition from losing power and gradually becoming mascots.

Moreover, anyone who is familiar with the Three Kingdoms is familiar with the spread of the standard of powerful ministers usurping the country, and Uchiha Tokumitsu is no exception.

"If Mr. Konoe is willing to work harder and do some practical things for the Kingdom of Water..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu elongated his voice, his eyes fixed on Konoe Atsushi whose Adam's apple was swallowing quickly.

"Lord Deguang..."

Konoe Atsuji fell to his knees with a "plop", expressing his determination with actions.

"Then you will be the Minister of the Taizheng..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said casually: "I will assign you a team of Kaguya ninjas, and they will serve as your direct troops to guard them."

"By the way, I remember that Mr. Jin Wei is also from the royal family..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu stepped forward to help Konoe Atsushi who was kneeling on the ground, and whispered in his ear:
"Maybe one day, he can replace him..."

This sentence, like the fatal temptation of the devil, kept replaying in Konoe Atsuji's mind.

……

Uchiha Tokumitsu is not eager to usurp the power of Water Country in a short time.

For him, time has always been on his side. He can patiently and slowly strip away the power that the daimyo nobles of the country of water think they are reliable, and let the people of the country of water gradually get used to the Uchiha clan. rule.

In addition, he really lacks ninjas of government affairs type under his command, and he is unwilling to directly call Konoha's government affairs personnel, so he simply adopts the method of spokesperson and forcibly supports Konoe Atsushi, the only acquaintance among the nobles of the water country .

As for words such as "replace it", Uchiha Tokumitsu did not make random promises, but did intend to practice the abolition of the establishment. It's just that Kirigakure has just surrendered, and Yiying Kirigakure has not had time to look at it one by one in the future. , so it’s just a matter of restraint for the time being.

Moreover, if Konoe Atsushi is really promoted to the position of daimyo one day, it also means that the shogunate has made complete preparations for the unification war of the ninja world.

……

Far away in Fuba City, the country of vortex, at this time, the ninja left behind by the shogunate also received instructions from Uchiha Tokumitsu, allowing representatives of Konoha, Yunyin and Yanyin to go north to Midway Island for a meeting, and dispatched ships to transport them.

Qi Rabi and Huang Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly commanded the troops to get ready to set off with the ship.

It's just that after Mimura Hanomaki learned about Uchiha Tokumitsu's actions in Kirigakure, he was silent for a long time, and then led his troops to leave on his own after saying "Holding Kirigakure to make the country of water".

The shogunate ninja did not dissuade, but quickly reported the matter to Uchiha Tokumitsu.

"...The ancients don't change."

Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help shaking his head and sighing when he heard about this.
