Uchiha's personal opinion

Uchiha Tokumitsu took Uchiha Makoto's hand and walked towards the alliance meeting venue.

"From this day forward, you will be my queen!"

……

"Homage to the Supreme Emperor of Virtue and Light!"

With the reappearance of Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Makoto, the atmosphere at the alliance meeting reached an even higher level of excitement.

"...Bearing the mandate of the people, continuing the unparalleled imperial lineage, inheriting the wisdom of our ancestors, we are dedicated to the prosperity of the ninja world and to ushering in an era of lasting peace!"

Amidst the throng of people, Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly delivered his declaration of enthronement.

The era of the Uchiha dynasty in the ninja world has officially begun!

……

"The goddess of the ninja world is established as the chief priest, the Uchiha clan is honored as the royal family of the ninja world, and the power of 100,000 ninjas is united..."

Inside the ice cave beneath the Land of Snow, Black Zetsu, who was listening to the radio, was stunned as if struck by lightning.

"This, this..."

Since its birth, Black Zetsu has suffered countless setbacks and has been tempered into an incredibly resilient mind through repeated defeats and repeated battles. It broke down in defenses!

Ignoring the surprised looks from Nagato, Sasori, and the others, it leaped into the snowy rock formations and, disregarding the fact that it was broad daylight, ran into the sun.

Black Zetsu raised his head, looking at the sun in the sky, trying to find the moon that was obscured by the sunlight.

"My dear mother..."

Black Zetsu collapsed to the ground, stretching out his body, which was as black as mud, to vent his long-suppressed emotions.

Chapter 470 The Emperor's Alone Decisive Power and the Separation of Powers

The Great Emperor of the Uchiha Dynasty in the Ninja World, and the Grand Regent of the Ninja World Government—Uchiha Tokumitsu!

Whether it was a remote island on the edge of the Land of Water or a desolate oasis in the Land of Wind, within just a few days, virtually every intelligent being in the ninja world knew that the world had completely changed.

The rapid transmission of information also benefited from the ubiquitous United Corporation and the relentless dissemination of increasingly widespread broadcasting equipment, tirelessly stuffing the latest news about the Ninja World Government into the minds of those illiterate 'savages'.

On December 7th of the 42nd year of Konoha, Uchiha Tokumitsu promulgated the dynasty's first era name, announcing that the first year of Kaihuang would begin on January 1st of the following year.

At the same time, Uchiha Tokumitsu, in the name of the Great Governing Government of the Shinobi World, announced the appointment and removal of new government positions that all parties in the Shinobi World had been eagerly awaiting.

"Uchiha Shikata is hereby appointed as the Chief Political Officer of the Joint Administrative Region!"

"Sakumo Hatake is hereby appointed concurrently as Chief Political Officer of the Chuhoku Administrative Region!"

These two appointments surprised some people. Since Uchiha Yomo and Hatake Sakumo were appointed as chairmen of the House of Representatives and Senate respectively during the Mihoyo Alliance meeting, and now they each control an administrative region, it is equivalent to having both the title and the territory at the same time. This may not be a good thing for a newly established dynasty.

But no one tried to offer any advice or remonstrance. After all, the power of Uchiha Tokukō was awe-inspiring throughout the ninja world. As long as he was alive, no one could cause any trouble. Moreover, everyone guessed that His Majesty might have other plans.

"Luo Sha is hereby appointed as the Chief Political Officer of the Southwest Administrative Region!"

"Uchiha Hamon is hereby appointed as the Chief Political Officer of the Cloud Central Administrative Region!"

"Minazuki Chino is hereby appointed as the Chief Political Officer of the Seaside Administrative Region!"

"Uchiha Shisui is hereby appointed as Assistant Political Officer of the Central Administrative District!"

Aside from the somewhat surprising appointment of Uchiha Shisui, who rose from a mere attendant to one of the six district governors, the other appointments were unremarkable. After all, they were either veteran retainers of the shogunate with distinguished military achievements or renowned members of the royal clan. However, considering Uchiha Shisui's status as the first disciple and his placement in the central administrative district where the ninja world government was located, everyone simply assumed that His Majesty intended to cultivate the next generation, and even those with objections could only remain silent.

"We hereby appoint Hanzo of the Salamander as the military governor of the Northern Region, Masahiko Hozuki as the military governor of the Hirakawa Region, and Hizashi Hyuga as the military governor of the Iwajo Region; each shall command two thousand ninja troops stationed in their respective garrisons to quell the rebellion in these three regions!"

Hozuki Masahiko had been serving as the chairman of the Jonin Joint Conference of Kirigakure for some years, so it was understandable that he was moved to a different position. Moreover, being thrown from the eastern archipelago of the ninja world to the western mountains of the ninja world in one fell swoop was a blessing or a curse. However, considering that the leader of the Guiyi clan had obtained the position of governor of a district and a state, he could be considered the biggest winner outside of Konoha.

"It's true that surrendering early has many advantages!"

For a time, the members of the first Joint Council of the Ninja World were discussing it, all feeling that Uchiha Tokumitsu was being far too kind to the Kirigakure lineage!

There was a reason why Uchiha Tokumitsu treated the Kirigakure lineage so well.

After all, behind that hurricane barrier lies a world full of raging waves!

How could the conquest of the new world be complete without these Hidden Mist ninjas who were masters of water?

Moreover, besides their official positions, Uchiha Tokumitsu will also be subject to checks and balances from the newly appointed heads of the ninja government departments.

"The Konoha Police Department has been upgraded to the Ninja World Government Police Headquarters, with branches established in various regions and states, and is under the direct management of the Ninja World Government's Grand Administration!"

In this way, police power was returned to the Uchiha clan, and since all Uchiha ninjas were royalty, there was no need to worry about their loyalty for at least the next three generations.

"The Konoha Internal Affairs Department has been upgraded to the Shinobi World Government's Internal Affairs Force, responsible for suppressing rebellions and uprisings in various regions, and is under the direct management of the Shinobi World Government's Grand Administration!"

"The Konoha Intelligence Department has been upgraded to the Shinobi World Government's Intelligence Bureau, responsible for intelligence and reconnaissance work, and is under the direct management of the Shinobi World Government's Grand Administration!"

"The Konoha Finance Department has been upgraded to the Shinobi World Government's General Finance Bureau, responsible for matters such as taxation and fiscal expenditures, and is under the vertical management of the Shinobi World Government's Grand Administration!"

"Konoha Hospital has been upgraded to the Medical and Health Bureau of the Shinobi World Government, responsible for hospital management, medical ninja training, drug research and development, and is under the direct management of the Shinobi World Government's Grand Administration!"

……

With a series of orders to upgrade various departments in Konoha, the Konoha ninjas have finally reached their moment of 'rising to prominence'!

In addition, apart from Uchiha Nakagen no longer serving as the Chief of the Internal Affairs Force due to his status, the Hyuga clan leader and Mitokado Homura both rose to high positions in the central government; and Tsunade was naturally the best candidate to take charge of the medical field, so these appointments were not surprising.

Even Akimichi Torifu was given the position of director of a newly established security supervision agency in the ninja world's organizational structure, which allowed the Ino-Shika-Cho clan to breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if it's just a secondary department with only regulatory power, at least it has a place in the Shinobi World Government, and the Ino-Shika-Cho clans no longer need to worry about their clans declining.

Moreover, with the intelligence of the Nara and Yamanaka clans, they are confident that they can gradually find their way in the new order and rise to prominence!

After the basic establishment of the ninja government's departments and personnel arrangements were completed, Uchiha Tokumitsu began to unify and reorganize the ninja armies throughout the ninja world.

Even compared to the police department, which was extremely redundant and overstaffed, the shogunate and Konoha's ninja army system was quite chaotic.

During the Shogunate era, Uchiha Tokumitsu commanded the Shogunate's direct ninja army, the four major border defense forces, the joint anti-terrorism force, the naval fleet, the ninja army stationed in occupied territories, the troops stationed in the Land of Whirlpools, the Kirigakure righteous troop, the Amegakure recruited ninja, and the United Company's hired ninja; even Konoha had police patrol forces, standing columns, and reserve columns.

Add to that the Cloud Village and Iwa Village ninjas and their ninja armies that have now surrendered, and the various ninja armies of the Sand Village ninjas of the Land of Wind... the sheer variety is enough to make one's head spin.

Therefore, in order to unify military power, Uchiha Tokumitsu had to completely reorganize the various ninja armies. At the same time, he also had to establish the principle of 'separation of military and political affairs,' meaning that the ninja armies would no longer interfere in local government affairs. This was also one of the reasons why he appointed those strong individuals as local government officials.

In addition, all ninja forces will be directly commanded by the Great Emperor of the Uchiha Dynasty, Uchiha Tokumitsu, and his direct successors, completely separating them from the Shinobi World Government.

The first thing to be completely abolished was the names of the four border defense forces. With the unification of the ninja world, there was no longer a need for so-called border defense. Therefore, the original border defense forces were merged into the First Army of the Dynasty's Army Defense Force, which consisted of eight regiments, each with a thousand ninjas. However, since the ninja world was newly established, these army regiments only changed their names, and even the military commanders were not appointed yet. They are currently stationed in their original locations and will cooperate with the internal affairs forces to combat rebels.

The registered ninja forces of Konoha's standing and reserve columns were reorganized into the Second Defense Army of the Dynasty Army, which consisted of five regiments with five thousand ninjas, and was headed by Uchiha Hatake as its first commander-in-chief.

Uchiha Tokumitsu felt more at ease having him in charge of Konoha's standing army, given that he was a former captain of the secret guards and had experience as a border defense commander and chief of the shogunate's guards.

The joint anti-terrorism force was reorganized on the spot into the Dynasty Army Strategic Support Force, and the remaining forces of the Northwest Garrison were merged into it, reorganized into seven regiments with more than 7,000 ninjas, with Uchiha Shiina still serving as the commander-in-chief.

The naval fleet and the Hidden Mist ninja of Fubo City were incorporated into the Dynasty's Naval Headquarters, which comprised three naval fleets and four naval task force marine brigades. They would be the cornerstone for Uchiha Tokumitsu's expansion into the new world.

On the Sunagakure side, 4,000 of the original 8,000 Sunagakure ninjas were selected to form the Third Army of the Dynasty's Army Defense Force, with Rasa's arch-rival, Pakura, serving as the commander-in-chief. The remaining Sunagakure ninjas were reassigned to the United Company or kept as reserves, which can be considered a decent way out for them.

Luo Sha naturally had no objection to this, after all, the military and the government were separate, and he would never have anything to do with Ye Cang again; so after he had someone send Yi Wei to Fubo Castle, he happily returned to the Southwest Administrative Region to become his chief administrative officer.

As for the defeated, surrendered, or captured ninja from Kumogakure and Iwagakure, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not trust them much for the time being. So he simply organized them into twenty-two settlement regiments and put them under control. He did not issue them any new ninja tools, nor did he appoint any superiors to command them. Their role would be to be temporarily assigned to various reorganized ninja armies as filler troops during the future expedition to Mount Myōboku.

Of course, if they perform well in battle and excel in 'reform education', Uchiha Tokumitsu wouldn't mind granting them official ninja army status—after all, the expedition to the New World also needs some slightly obedient cannon fodder!

……

"Senator Ashura, and Representative Kakuzu, I've kept you waiting..."

After arranging the general military and political affairs, Uchiha Tokumitsu summoned Ashura and Kakuzu, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Without saying a word, Kakuzu bowed down in obeisance!

This decisiveness left Asura somewhat dumbfounded—you're supposed to be a respectable non-human powerhouse, how can you be so shameless!

However, he really couldn't bring himself to worship Ashura in the same way—after all, he was of the same generation as the ancestor of the Uchiha clan!

"No need for such formalities~"

Uchiha Tokumitsu personally stepped forward to help the bowing Kakuzu up, and said kindly, "Associate Kakuzu and I became acquainted through a series of misunderstandings, but we haven't seen each other since the battle in the East, and I've missed him quite a bit..."

"Your Majesty, it was the Regent of the Land of Fire who instigated this! I was simply deceived!"

Kakuzu quickly defended himself.

"It's okay, it's okay~ It's all over..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's smile grew even more amiable.

"That's right, the reason I summoned the two councilors is that I have tasks to entrust to you."

"Mission accomplished!"

Kakuzu spoke first.

This also thwarted Ashura's plan to ask him questions.

"Very good! Very energetic!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was full of praise.

"Councilor Kakuzu, in the ninja world today, there is still one last bastion of feudal power..."

"The Land of Fire... the Great Lord of the Genji Clan!"

Kakuzu immediately understood and promptly changed his form of address.

"Yes, I intend to put you in charge of abolishing the Minamoto clan's territory and reorganizing their private army."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said solemnly.

"This... such an important task, I will certainly do my utmost and never fail His Majesty's trust!"

Kakuzu was initially startled, then overjoyed, and immediately patted his chest, making a grand promise.

"very good!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded with great satisfaction. "After dealing with the Minamoto clan, I plan to merge and reorganize those Minamoto clan private armies and Takigakure ninja into the Fourth Garrison Army of the Imperial Army, with you as its commander-in-chief. What do you think?"

"I swear to serve His Majesty to the death!"

Without saying a word, Kakuzu bowed again!

"Very well! You may leave now."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "Shisui is ready; he will bring people to assist you."
