Chapter 164 Starting from a position of strength

Uchiha Tokko opened the door and walked into the Hokage's office.

Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru then walked in.

"Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded to the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sitting on the high seat.

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen responded with a kind smile.

"Two advisors..."

Mito Kado and Koharu, who was transferred to the dormitory, also nodded in response.

"Tsunade-hime, good morning~"

Finally, Uchiha Tokko said hello to Tsunade who had a look of worry on her face.

"Good day, Tokumitsu-san..."

No matter how unhappy she felt, Tsunade still followed etiquette and responded.

Then Uchiha Tokumitsu casually pulled up a chair and sat down. As for the pale Daimyo envoy who was wearing court clothes, Uchiha Tokumitsu pretended not to see him.

Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru also felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, so they quietly sat down and prepared to watch the show.

Under the influence of Uchiha Tokumitsu, Hatake Sakumo also has a tendency to develop into a fun person.

And Orochimaru had just received a vague investment commitment from Uchiha Tokumitsu yesterday, so he had no intention of adding to the problem.

Uchiha Tokumitsu did not take the initiative to speak, and the atmosphere in the office suddenly became cold.

The Daimyo envoy was out of breath and felt that the air was almost frozen.

In the eyes of the daimyo nobles, ninjas were just tools to be driven by them, and they never really regarded them as their own arms. Even in this era when ninjas were the most powerful in the world, there were still many samurai who were eliminated by the times.

Priests and monks hold official positions in Daming Prefecture and local areas.

The only official position that a ninja can obtain next to a daimyo is the so-called "guardian nin", and it is also a bodyguard role with rank but no power.

Before leaving the Daimyo Mansion, the Daimyo envoy had very little contact with the "killing tools" in the eyes of nobles like ninjas. After arriving in Konoha, he also reprimanded the Hokage for bossing around.

"Ninja Hero" Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't mind putting on a show, and it was just a good opportunity to show his loyalty to the daimyo and the unruly nature of the Uchiha clan.

Now it seems that the reaction of the Uchiha clan did not exceed the Sandaime's prediction, and it was indeed a big fight that caused instability.

From now on, not to mention anything else, the Uchiha clan has completely lost ground in the eyes of the daimyo. Even if Uchiha is not labeled as an "enemy of the court", even if the daimyo has no power to destroy Uchiha, the Uchiha clan can't even think about it.

Obtained the recognition of the Daimyo and won the position of Hokage.

"Tokumitsu-kun, this is the envoy of the daimyo, Doctor Asakura."

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen broke the silence with a smile, "Dr. Asakura wants to ask you something on behalf of the daimyo~"

He couldn't wait to see the conflict between Uchiha Tokumitsu and the Daimyo messenger.

Threats are nothing! Better to splatter the office with blood!

"There is a deceitful minister in Daming Mansion!"

Uchiha Deguang shocked everyone, "Someone is trying to shake the ancestral system of one country and one village!"

Even the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had the mentality of watching a movie, was shocked on the outside and tender on the inside.

Did Tokumitsu Uchiha get the wrong script?!

"You...you..."

Dr. Asakura ignored his fear and stood up suddenly, pointed at Uchiha Tokimitsu, and was about to scold Uchiha Tokimitsu, but after the two of them looked directly at each other, Dr. Asakura could not say a word.

In front of the Sharingan full of murderous intent, not to mention mortals without chakra, even a slightly weaker Jonin will feel numb.

Dr. Asakura didn't collapse on the spot, so he was determined.

"Knock knock!"

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked the table several times with his pipe in dissatisfaction.

Uchiha Tokko then closed his Sharingan.

"Why did Tokuguang-kun say this?"

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"I heard that there are deceitful ministers in the Daming Palace who are trying to seduce the nobles to interfere in the Ninja Village and try to use secular rules to restrain the Ninja clan. Is this true?"

Uchiha Tokko looked around, "The one-village-one-country system established by Hashirama-sama has clarified the distinction between the ninja village and the daimyo nobles. Now that the envoys have arrived in Konoha, they want to break the past system and return the world to the chaos of the Warring States Period."

?”

"If that's the case, the Uchiha clan doesn't mind being the first for the world, but it's hard to stop the chaos in Luoding!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's words were resounding and struck Dr. Asakura's vital points with every word.

Even the most lawless Orochimaru could not help but be stunned.

"cough……"

The third generation Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed and calmed down.

"...Jōnin Tokumitsu, please be patient. Maybe there is something hidden?"

Then he turned to look at the messenger: "Doctor Asakura, could you please tell me something?"

"Isn't it true that the Uchiha clan has liaisons with foreign countries, massive smuggling, lawlessness, and tax evasion?"

Dr. Asakura suppressed his blush and roared loudly.

"Does the relationship between the ninja clan need to be submitted to the daimyo for approval?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu also lowered his face and scolded mercilessly: "The Ninja clan belongs to the Ninja clan, when did the world get its turn to interfere!"

"Such a large amount of smuggling has even emptied all the cattle and sheep from all the pastures in the Land of Grass. Is this still considered a relationship between the Ninja clan?"

"What does the matter in the Country of Grass have to do with the name of the Country of Fire?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu snorted, "Does His Highness the Daimyo think that it is okay to interfere in foreign affairs? The Red Guards of the Country of Grass will not agree!"

"Aren't those so-called red troops your private army?"

Doctor Asakura was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "Chen Bing Border, are you going to rebel?"

"Although they are members of the Uchiha clan, they are not registered ninjas in Konoha. According to the rules, they just accepted the employment of the Daimyo of Grass Country. This is very reasonable and reasonable."

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care about Dr. Asakura's attitude. In his eyes, this was just the wail of a defeated dog.

"Jōnin Tokumitsu may not be too strong-minded!"

Tsunade said coldly.

"Um?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu cast his gaze at Tsunade who was standing aside, "Mito-sama had already reconciled with the Uchiha clan when he was still alive. Does Tsunade-hime plan to overturn the resolution of the ancestors?"

"What does this have to do with Grandma Mito!" Tsunade suddenly showed an angry look on her face when she heard this, "Don't you think your behavior is destroying the trust between the daimyo and the village!"

"The daimyo controls the political power to provide funds for the village, and the village provides ninjas as a standing army for the daimyo. Isn't this a one-village-one-country system?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu sneered twice and said loudly: "Is it because Konoha failed to fulfill its mission of guarding the country or is it that the Uchiha clan is afraid of war and dare not go to the battlefield?"

"Sakumo-kun, what do you think of the performance of the Uchiha clan on the battlefield?"

Uchiha Tokko turned to Hatake Sakumo.

"Uchiha's loyalty and bravery are the highest in the ninja world."

Hatake Sakumo responded in a deep voice.

"So, have the registered Uchiha tribesmen fulfilled their obligations as ninjas in the village?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes turned to Tsunade and Dr. Asakura again, "Or does the daimyo think that the Ninja Village is his personal vassal, and he can instruct the slaughter and consumption at will?"

As soon as these words came out, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen became a little unable to sit still.

Another meaning in Uchiha Tokko's words was that he was accusing him of allowing the daimyo's envoys to visit and destroying the equal status between the country and the ninja village.

"Jōnin Tokumitsu, please be careful what you say!"

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked his pipe against the office again, his tone was very dissatisfied.

"You are so brave!"

In a state of shock and anger, Dr. Asakura could no longer think of words.

The establishment of the Konohagakure Ninja Village was the result of the reconciliation between the two powerful ninja clans represented by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, and had nothing to do with the Daimyo of the Fire Country.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Hokage of Konoha, the former is the lord of the country, and the latter is the military leader. Even the daimyo only has the right to appoint but not decide on the candidate for Hokage.

"Tsunade-hime, the founders of Konoha were not daimyo, but Lord Hashirama and Lord Madara. This is history that cannot be tampered with."
