Uchiha's personal opinion

This is a brand new group bound by interests and connected by blood ties!

"The Ninja Clan Conference will be restarted in the future! It must be restarted!"

"Our goal is not only to make money through the company, but also to actively seek the rights we deserve, and to make good use of our wealth to strengthen our power!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said firmly, "We cannot allow others to make their voices heard and be put on the defensive! This would be detrimental to our long-term development!"

The ninja leaders all nodded in agreement.

They recalled once again the unease and panic they felt when they first heard about Tsunade's topic.

When he turned his gaze back to Uchiha Tokumitsu on the stage, the fear he felt towards the Senju clan vanished.

Yes!

The Senju clan is indeed remarkable, but they also have Uchiha Tokumitsu!

In a world without Hashirama Senju, who could possibly stop the Uchiha who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, was incredibly powerful, and had agile skills?

Moreover, Uchiha Tokumitsu is still very young!

He is much younger than Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade Senju, Sakumo Hatake, and even Yomo Uchiha!

In the ninja world, where life expectancy is short, youth is the greatest asset!

"Lord Deguang, I pledge my loyalty to you!"

The Shiranui clan chief was the first to stand up and bow deeply.

Then, all the ninja clan leaders rose up in response.

"I pledge my loyalty to my lord!"

A pleased smile appeared on Uchiha Tokumitsu's face.

Given the complexity of Sakumo Hatake's subordinates, his reorganized power will inevitably be based on his ideals and beliefs.

Uchiha Tokumitsu, on the other hand, based on the United Fisheries Company, bound his affiliated ninja clans together on the basis of blood ties and interests.

A political group that exists based on its ideology.

In addition, there is a capital group united by interests and blood ties.

What kind of vitality will be unleashed after the two join forces?

Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help but let his mind wander.

Chapter 176 Konoha Reform

Every choice, every decision, involves trade-offs and compromises.

While the ninja clans aligned with the Hokage were happy to see the Ninja Clan Conference restart and gain additional power within the Hokage system, they were absolutely unwilling to see a real investigation into everything that had happened over the past few decades.

However, the initiator of the proposal was Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the signatory was Hatake Sakumo, the leader of the Jonin squad. Neither of these two people were easy to fool.

In particular, after returning to Konoha for one night, Uchiha Tokumitsu used his influence to completely overturn the Tsunade issue, which made everyone in Konoha see the superb political skills of Uchiha Tokumitsu.

The Senju clan's influence after its reorganization does not seem to be as prominent as that of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Tokumitsu did not rush to convene the ninja clan meeting, but instead attended the first plenary session after his faction reorganized its political group at the invitation of Hatake Sakumo.

The political group formed by Sakumo Hatake is called the Reform Association, a name that sounds very spirited.

At the first meeting of the Reform Society, Uchiha Tokumitsu fulfilled his role as a mascot very well, smiling throughout and not saying a word, but carefully observing the actions of his followers.

It is not hard to tell from their surnames that the core members of the Reform Society were indeed commoner ninjas and members of small ninja clans, and they must have had extraordinary abilities to become Jonin.

However, due to their class limitations, their vision was not very long-term...

Their speeches, advocating for fairness and justice, maintaining peace and stability in the ninja world, and promoting the correct Will of Fire, made Uchiha Tokumitsu want to laugh.

But since they are allies, we can't actually laugh out loud; we can only continue to smile.

"Mr. Deguang, would you please say a few words as well..."

Sakumo Hatake turned to the side and whispered to Tokumitsu Uchiha.

"can!"

After a moment's thought, Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded in agreement.

He then got up and walked to the front desk.

"...Ninjas aren't entertaining guests, they're not writing poetry, they can't be that refined!"

After he said that, the room fell silent.

This is Uchiha Tokumitsu's response to the naive remarks made by some members of the Reform Society.

"The essence of a ninja is to do things for money!"

Although some people showed resentment, most nodded in approval.

"But ninjas are human too!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu emphasized, "He is a person of flesh and blood, with feelings and righteousness! He is absolutely not a tool in the absurd pronouncements of some dead people!"

This statement is directed at Shimura Danzo, who had already died under the blade of Uchiha Tokuko.

"Human needs have five levels: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs."

"What we need to pursue now is the need for respect and the need for self-actualization!"

"Being born into poverty is not a disgrace; perseverance is what makes a hero. The purpose of the Reform Society is to ensure that every talented but unappreciated Konoha ninja receives the development they deserve, and to allow every Konoha ninja from humble origins to equally enjoy the benefits of war!"

Immediately, thunderous applause erupted!

"The powerful and wealthy families boast and flaunt their wealth, ignoring the plight of the people of Konoha!"

After the applause subsided, Uchiha Tokumitsu continued his passionate speech, disregarding his origins as the greatest clan in Konoha: "Konoha needs someone to stand up, to change, to innovate, and to seek greater well-being for the next generation of Konoha ninja!"

"New Konoha! New Konoha!"

Led by Sakumo Hatake, the participating ninjas shouted in unison.

"...The adults are always unwilling to face the problems, and instead try to vent their discontent within the village by oppressing the Uchiha clan, creating conflict between the common people and the ninja clans, but this is not a fundamental way to solve the problems!"

"But! As you know, the Uchiha clan has always stood with everyone!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu paused, observing the expressions of the ninjas present.

This was the first time that Uchiha Tokumitsu had publicly expressed the Uchiha clan's attitude and dissatisfaction with the Hokage Building on a major occasion.

"Each generation should have its own responsibilities. Those who shirk problems or even try to solve problems are committing a complete and utterly mediocre evil!"

"It is our responsibility to ensure that every child with the talent to become a ninja can equally enjoy high-quality ninja education!"

"It is our responsibility to ensure that every ninja who sacrificed their life for Konoha can enjoy their later years in peace!"

"It is our responsibility to ensure that every hardworking ninja who performs missions diligently just to support their families has enough to eat and wear!"

A series of parallel sentences stirred up the emotions of all the Reform Society ninjas.

"It is precisely because of the incompetence of some of the village's higher-ups that Konoha, once the strongest ninja in the world, has fallen into its current predicament!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke with fervor, loudly proclaiming the slogan of reform: "Fame and fortune are but fleeting dreams, only sincerity will never fade; the time for reform has come, let a hurricane rise in the night and sweep across the ninja village!"

"Konoha Reform!"

A middle-aged Jonin drew his ninja sword with a clang, the blade pointing upwards at a 45-degree angle, and shouted in a hoarse voice.

Tears began to well up in his eyes.

"Konoha Reform!"

Sakumo Hatake stood up proudly, drew his sword, and shouted.

"Konoha Reform!"

All the Reform Society ninjas drew their swords and shouted.

Amidst the gleaming blades, each person's face was resolute, their expression determined.

……

Before the controversy surrounding the major review proposal had subsided, news about the Reform Association, formed by the reorganization of Sakumo Hatake's forces, once again stirred up trouble in Konoha.

Hatake Sakumo naturally took on the role of chairman of the Reform Association, while Uchiha Tokumitsu was regarded as the closest comrade-in-arms by the Reform Association ninjas and was also given the title of chief supervisor.

Even the four characters of their organization's goal, "Konoha Reform," were handwritten by Uchiha Tokumitsu at the invitation of Hatake Sakumo.

What shocked the Konoha ninja clan the most was Uchiha Tokumitsu's speech at the Reform Association's founding ceremony.

With Uchiha Tokumitsu's consent, the Reform Society compiled Uchiha Tokumitsu's speech into a written document and posted it throughout Konoha.

The police department also provided them with the greatest convenience, even reserving a space specifically for the Reform Association on the bulletin boards of the police offices in the three major regions.

This also means that Konoha's largest bloodline clan and the lower-class ninja group have completely stood together.

What are the big capitalists and their hired workers fighting against in the same trench?

Isn't it all about fighting against the aristocracy of the old era?

This is a blatant call to attack the old forces of Konoha!

"One wave subsides only for another to rise..."

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearily closed his eyes.

He felt somewhat exhausted.

In the Senju clan's territory, Tsunade also received information about the Reform Society immediately.

After reading it, she left without saying a word.

In her eyes, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo were no longer just colluding; they were aiming to completely overturn the established order of Konoha.

But there was nothing they could do.

"I hope it doesn't turn into a civil war..."

In a private booth at BBQ Q, Akimichi Torifu held the Reform Association's proclamation in his hand, clicking his tongue and looking on with an expression that suggested he was enjoying the show.

The leaders of the three tribes—Pig, Deer, and Butterfly—stood below the hall, hands at their sides, heads bowed, silent.

"Is Hiruzen really planning to put me in charge of the mission center?"
