Uchiha's personal opinion

"inflammation?"

The third generation was somewhat puzzled. Why was Mitokado Haru, who usually maintained a scholarly demeanor, in such a hurry?

"Is there a problem with the Ministry of the Interior?"

Immediately, he thought of another critical problem.

"no……"

Mitomon Homura was taken aback at first, then shook his head and said, "The border troops have sent a public letter..."

"what!"

The Third Generation Hiruzen Sarutobi was horrified.

This reminded him of the incident after Danzo's death, when Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Tokumitsu gathered border troops and returned to the village to force Danzo to abdicate.

"The three border defense forces in the Northwest, West, and East expressed their support for Tsunade's proposal to enforce strict military discipline, and unanimously agreed with Sakumo Hatake's proposal to expand the investigation and thoroughly eliminate malpractices..."

The commanders of the two border defense forces in the northwest and east are both Uchiha clansmen, while Mimura Yoru and Kime Kōtō of the western border defense force are close friends with Hatake Sakumo.

Although Mitokado Yan had not yet learned the specific content of Hatake Sakumo's proposal, the mere mention of "expanding the review" was enough to horrify him.

Mitomen inflammation also cannot withstand scrutiny.

Even if no problems are found with him, his family has a lot of issues that haven't been cleaned up yet, and if an investigation is conducted, he will inevitably be implicated.

"Sun Slayer!"

Koharu, panting, ran into the Hokage's office again.

"The Jonin team sent a letter to the Ministry of State Affairs requesting to borrow a venue to hold a ninja clan meeting!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, slowly closed his eyes.

He then handed the documents in his hand to Mitokado Yan.

Mitokado Homura glanced at the document and was immediately alarmed, then passed it on to Utatane Koharu.

The three of them were simultaneously stunned.

Things have blown up...

……

The two issues raised by Tsunade are the focus of current public opinion in Konoha, so all the ninja clans are silently observing the final decision of the Jonin team.

To investigate or not to investigate?

If an investigation is conducted, it will harm the vital interests of Sakumo Hatake's ally, the Uchiha clan; if no investigation is conducted, Sakumo Hatake's consistent image of fairness and impartiality will surely collapse.

From any perspective, this game within the rules is a good show.

Of course, there were also some ninja clans that were secretly manipulating other smuggling activities and were dissatisfied with Tsunade's proposal, but they dared not say it out loud.

As the eye of the storm, the Jonin team's every move was being closely watched by the ninja clans. Moreover, they already knew that Uchiha Tokumitsu had returned to the village, and that Hatake Sakumo had visited the police headquarters last night.

So there's bound to be big news today!

They just didn't expect this news to be so big...

When the leaders of each ninja clan received photocopies of the Jonin class proposal, they were all stunned into silence...

Just as Uchiha Tokumitsu had predicted, the marginalized ninja clan leaders were eager to participate, while the ninja clans closely connected to the Hokage lineage tried their best to stop them.

As for Tsunade's two proposals...

Not important anymore!

None of that matters anymore!

What's the point of investigating? From ninja clans to commoners, everyone in Konoha knows that the Uchiha clan controls the border troops and intimidates the Daimyo. Everyone knows that the Uchiha clan makes a fortune through smuggling and arms dealing!

Now that we already know, what's the point of investigating further?

Even if the truth is already out in the open, the only result of further investigation will be to embarrass the Uchiha clan. What can the village do about it?

If they had that kind of ability, the Anbu would have already invaded the Uchiha clan's territory and wiped out the injustice!

But looking back thirty years has a different significance!

Who the hell can withstand an investigation?!

Which of the various ninja clans, deeply intertwined with the Hokage lineage, doesn't have some shady dealings?

Besides, the Uchiha clan's reputation is already infamous, so they don't care. But they care about their pure white feathers!

Therefore, some ninja clans wanted to use the ninja clan meeting to revitalize their clan's prestige, or at least gain voting rights to benefit themselves, while other ninja clans tried their best to prevent the proposal to expand the censorship, and also did not want the power that the ninja clan meeting could bring!

Konoha's public opinion was completely disrupted by this single proposal!

……

Tsunade also received the news.

Her face was ashen, and she gripped a thin sheet of paper tightly in her hands, staring intently at the words on the page.

Even without sending anyone out to investigate, she knew how the Hokage Building and the various ninja clans would react.

It's simply a matter of one group wanting to overturn the table, and another group wanting to cover it up!

"Tsunade..."

Kato Dan quietly pushed the door open and entered.

His face was full of worry.

This was the first time he had ever seen Tsunade so out of control.

Kato Dan slowly walked behind Tsunade, squatted down, and placed his hands on Tsunade's shoulders.

Tsunade's tense body gradually relaxed.

He then proactively handed the paper he was clutching tightly to Kato Dan.

After a quick glance, Kato Dan immediately understood.

His family was also a small ninja clan, so he naturally understood the significance behind the proposal initiated by Uchiha Tokumitsu, the most recent person under investigation, and signed by Hatake Sakumo.

"Tsunade..."

Kato Dan hugged his lover with heartache.

But he couldn't think of any words of comfort for the moment.

"I really didn't expect this..."

Tsunade muttered to herself.

"The Uchiha clan actually produced such a person..."

Kato Dan remained silent, simply continuing to embrace his lover.

"Broken, we all underestimated Uchiha Tokumitsu..."

Tsunade said quietly, "I have a feeling he will be a more dangerous person than Madara Uchiha!"

"...Then what about this matter?"

Kato asked somewhat hesitantly.

Both issues were initiated by Tsunade, which was essentially the Senju clan's first appearance after their reorganization. After being slapped in the face like this, how to handle the situation is a big question.

"That's no longer something I need to consider..."

Tsunade tilted her head back and rested it on Kato Dan's shoulder, closing her eyes.

"This is something the teacher needs to handle..."

"otherwise……"

Tsunade sighed deeply, unwilling to think about it any further.

……

At the Nakagawa Stock Exchange, Uchiha Tokumitsu summoned all the shareholders of the United Fisheries Company—that is, the leaders of the various affiliated ninja clans.

They were initially filled with unease after Tsunade initiated the impeachment motion.

But as Uchiha Tokumitsu rushed back to the village and overturned the situation overnight, everyone felt nothing but admiration.

In addition to his formidable personal strength and superb money-making skills, Uchiha Tokumitsu once again demonstrated his political maneuvering abilities.

These are the three essential elements for a super ruler!

"We need more than just wealth!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu stood above the conference hall of the stock exchange, hands on his hips, his tone menacing.

"We also need the strength to protect our wealth!"

The leaders of the ninja clans all nodded in agreement.

"What we need even more is the power to keep wealth unaffected!"

"This is what we're striving for!"

The ninja leaders' breathing became heavy.

Wealth, power, and strength!

No ninja could resist such temptation!

Not to mention using such temptations to test the leaders of the ninja clans—which leader could withstand such a test?

If he refuses this, his clansmen will surely kick him off the stage!

"Regardless of whether the proposal passes or not, and whether this ninja clan meeting is restarted, we need to plan ahead!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke again.

The room immediately returned to calm.

Slowly scanning the crowd, Uchiha Tokumitsu expressed satisfaction with his control over the situation.

Even if their strength is insignificant in his eyes, they still represent another force in Konoha.

They do not belong to the Hokage lineage, nor to the Sakumo faction, nor are they equivalent to the Uchiha clan.
