Chapter 320 At that Moment

After the condition of [Station at the Mist Headquarters] was set, the only things left to discuss were some trivial matters.

The Mist Hidden Village had actually handed over its governance rights to the Mist Hidden Village. What else could not be given up?

Measure the material resources of the Mist Hidden Village and win the favor of the country.

After taking office as the Minister of the [Station at the Mist Headquarters], the first thing Uchiha Mai did was to appoint three deputy ministers: Shangfeng, Tiehuo, and Terumi Mei.

The dozens of clansmen he brought with him naturally stationed in the Mist Hidden Village, in the name of monitoring the Mist Hidden Village, and practiced the act of a cunning rabbit with three burrows.

Then he directed the administrative department of the Mist Hidden Village to carry out post-disaster reconstruction.

Dozens of Uchiha clansmen did not participate in the reconstruction work. In the early days of ruling the Mist Hidden Village, they had to be more forceful and have a higher attitude.

In this way, the original Mist Hidden Village people's position as "second-class citizens" can be consolidated, so that when they win people's hearts in the future, they will gain more.

The suppression work in the first few days was not very smooth.

It's easy to say that the powerful families like Mizunotsuki and Kizuki are aware of Uchiha Mai's strength. As the saying goes, dynasties come and go, but the aristocratic families remain the same. It doesn't matter who is the leader of Kirigakure.

The reaction of these powerful families is not as big as expected. Instead, the resistance from the lower-level and ordinary ninjas of Kirigakure is more than expected.

There are at least 5 attacks on the Kirigakure troop stationed in Kirigakure and assassinations of Uchiha Mai every day.

For such events that are not conducive to the unity of Kirigakure and Kirigakure, Uchiha Mai has zero tolerance and must strike hard.

The elder Yuanshi, Mizunotsuki clan and other traitors who surrendered first were mobilized to form a special action force called [Shinsengumi].

The main task of this force is to maintain the security of Kirigakure and deal with the rebels who are against [Kigakure Headquarters].

This is to rule the barbarians with the barbarians.

Yuanshi and others resisted. The condition for our surrender is that you don't kill Kirigakure ninjas and bypass Kirigakure.

Now you not only want to kill people, but also want us who surrendered first to do it. What's the reason?

However, the resistance of Yuanshi and others was useless. Uchiha Mai said directly: If you take action, you can only kill the main culprit. If the troops stationed in the Mist take action, you will kill one or three clans.

When I take action myself, I will start with killing five clans.

Yuanshi and others shut their mouths obediently. In order to stop the loss as much as possible, they could only pick up the butcher knife and point it at their own people.

After killing for a few days, the Hidden Mist Village was considered honest. Even the big men surrendered to Uchiha Mai and became his running dogs.

You are just a low-level ninja. You only make a few dollars a month in a precarious situation. What are you fighting for?

And the sense of honor of the country and family... It has not been fifty years since the establishment of the Hidden Mist Village. Why are you talking nonsense to me?

After a few days, the Hidden Mist Village was initially stabilized.

Uchiha Mai then leisurely wrote a handwritten letter and sent it to the Iwagakure front-the location of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The core content of the letter can be summarized in one sentence: "The Mist Hidden Land is a place of deceit and changeability. The west wind and the north thunder, if you don't use a false shadow to suppress it, its situation is unstable. I am willing to use a false shadow."

In Chinese history, there have been completely similar cases.

After Han Xin led his army to conquer Qi, he asked Liu Bang, the King of Han, to be the Acting King of Qi on the grounds that Qi was fickle and adjacent to Chu in the south.

At that time, Liu Bang was besieged in Xingyang by the Chu army. Although he was furious after receiving Han Xin's letter, he had to agree to Han Xin's request to solve the urgent problem.

While naming the other party the King of Qi, he ordered the other party to attack Chu, "Besieging Wei to Save Zhao".

At this moment, it is just like that moment.

Although Han Xin's final outcome was not very good and he was punished by Liu Bang, Uchiha Mai was 100% confident that he would not follow Han Xin's old path.

Iwagakure Front

In the Hokage camp, after reading the battle report sent by Uchiha Mai, Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands trembled slightly, and he was angry and happy in his heart.

Uchiha Mai exceeded the task, a one-man division, killed two Mizukages in a row, completely crushed the Kirigakure Village, and made this land withdraw from the three wars.

This is a great blessing for Konoha, which was attacked from all sides.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Mai performed too well. While crushing the Kirigakure Village, he also completely collapsed the Kirigakure Village.

As an outsider, he openly obtained a position above the Mizukage.

Also [Kirigakure is cunning and repetitive. In order to intimidate the Kirigakure Village, he had to improvise and design the headquarters in the Kirigakure and temporarily take over the position of minister to handle all affairs of the Kirigakure Village].

Pah!

To put it bluntly, isn't it that he wants the position of Mizukage in the Kirigakure Village, but is reluctant to give up the competition for Hokage, so hypocritical.

You have already finished the work and then "asked for instructions" from me, and you also said [If the Hokage thinks it is inappropriate, he can close the department at any time], how can I withdraw?

I am afraid that once I convey the order to close the [Headquarters in the Mist], you will immediately lead the army to counterattack Konoha, right?

Even if you consider the past friendship a little bit, and do not counterattack Konoha but turn a blind eye to Konoha's current predicament, it is enough for Konoha to drink a pot.

In name, this is a report from a subordinate to a superior. In fact, this is a "letter of state" between the leaders of the ninja village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could only bite his teeth and admit it, acknowledging the legitimacy of the [Headquarters in the Mist].

Then he issued a command to Konoha, letting Tsunade and others know and approve this matter, and issued a Hokage order, ordering Uchiha Mai to attack the rear of the Sand Village.

Currently, there are actually two Hokages in Konoha. The official Hokage is fighting on the front lines to fight against Iwagakure, while the acting Hokage Tsunade is "supervising the country" at the rear.

Tsunade has the power to handle almost everything, otherwise her role as acting Hokage would be meaningless.

But except for this matter, the [Garrison in the Kiri Headquarters] has too much to do with it, and Uchiha Mai has actually obtained the right to rule the Hidden Kiri Village.

If only Sarutobi Hiruzen or Tsunade knew about it and approved it, there would be flaws in the procedure, which would affect the legitimacy of [Gardening Mist Headquarters].

So Uchiha Mai is the document sent to Sarutobi Hiruzen, not Konoha.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to settle the score after the fall, he could just accept it and abolish this department afterwards on the grounds that "the station headquarters was established at a special time without the permission of the acting Hokage Tsunade."

Vice versa, if only Tsunade agreed, Sarutobi Hiruzen's reason could be replaced by "I didn't agree at the time."

Such a detail that was not considered a detail, Sarutobi Hiruzen could think of it, and so could Uchiha Mai.

The most important thing right now is to let Uchiha Mai take action to solve Konoha's urgent needs. There is no point in leaving some back-ups that will most likely not be used in the future.

Konoha.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade was shocked after receiving the order from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The boy who he had watched grow up and who was now about the same height as him actually single-handedly captured the Kirigakure Village and actually gained the position of Mizukage.

This is something that even my great grandfather failed to do back then.

Of course, it's not that Senju Hashirama doesn't have that strength, but that he has different ideas from Uchiha Mai and Uchiha Madara.

Many times, Tsunade also thought about whether her uncle was right or wrong when he created the ninja village system.

If he and Uchiha Madara teamed up to completely pacify the ninja world, "sweeping across the world and swallowing up all the eight wastes" instead of "nine princes and lords conquering the world", wouldn't there be so much nonsense?

Now Uchiha Mai has embarked on a completely different path from Senju Hashirama: if he can become Hokage in the future, it will be equivalent to managing two ninja villages by one person.

Now that two ninja villages have been captured, is it still far behind to pacify the ninja world and unify the five ninja villages?

Tsunade didn't know whether Uchiha Mai could succeed, but she knew that Senju Hashirama had failed, and the ninja village system could not save the ninja world.

Just when Tsunade was about to stamp her seal on the letter of appointment, she encountered strong opposition from Koharu, who had moved to bed.

"Not allowed, absolutely not allowed!"

After going to bed, Koharu threw Sarutobi Hiruzen's autographed letter on the table and said angrily: "What does Mai Uchiha think of Konoha?

When he just graduated from the ninja school, he joined the elite team led by Minato.

If it weren't for Hiruzen's instruction, just based on his Uchiha family background, it would be simply wishful thinking to want to integrate into the Hokage family.

In the following years, Hiruzen saw that he was a talented person and gave him every opportunity, thus cultivating him into a first-class strongman in the ninja world.

Now, not only is he ungrateful, but he also went to Kirigakure Village to become Mizukage. What is the reason for this? "

In the conference room, Fugaku frowned slightly when he heard this.

What does "just because of his Uchiha clan origin" mean? Could it be that Uchiha, a surname that is extremely noble in the ninja world, is not useful in Konoha?

Tsunade looked at Fugaku's expression and knew something was wrong.

Fugaku had worked under Sarutobi Hiruzen for many years. He had always been cautious and good at managing his expressions. He would flatter him when he needed to, and he would not be vague when he needed to be aloof.

Such an obvious frown was enough to show that he was quite dissatisfied with what Xiaochun said when he went to bed.

In a power, positions can be appointed at will, but the authority is fixed. The rise of the new rich will inevitably squeeze out and occupy the power and status of the old forces.

When the champion was promoted to General of Hussars, the Huo Party under his command was also generously rewarded, and all the officials in the court took refuge, severely squeezing the power of the Guard Party under Wei Qing.

This is true for uncles and nephews, not to mention the relationship between Mai Uchiha, Koharu and others.

Once the legitimacy of this [Mist Headquarters] is established, Uchiha Mai can become Konoha's veritable second-in-command.

The ANBU chief and the Hokage's advisor are all idiots. After all, no matter how high-ranking you are, you still have to eat from the pot of Konoha. It all depends on the Hokage's face.

And Uchiha Mai has his back to Kirigakure Village, let alone the Hokage's face, even the Hokage will have to look at his face when the time comes.

In addition, as disciples and students of Senju Tobirama, Koharu, Mito Kabuto, Danzo and others were deeply influenced by Senju Tobirama, and the Uchiha threat theory has been deeply ingrained in their hearts.

"Recruited to Elder Koharu, Mai's specific position is the head of the [Konoha's Kirigakure Village First Affairs Processing and Decision-making General Office], not the Mizukage."

Tsunade pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and warned.

Taking on such an important position as Acting Hokage for the first time, Tsunade felt that it was necessary to borrow some paths to make her temperament quieter and more dignified.

Gold-rimmed glasses are such an item, and they can also increase attack speed.

"Huh, is there a difference?"

Mito Kadoen snorted coldly and said to his wife's aid: "Even the appointment and removal of Mizukage must be approved by the [Garrison Headquarters]. Uchiha Mai is not Mizukage, so what is he?

Uchiha Mai might as well speak more frankly and say clearly that he wants to betray Konoha. "

"oh?"

Tsunade turned to look at Mito Kadoyan, pondered for a moment and asked: "This is the first time I hold such an important position as Acting Minister, and I don't know how to deal with many things.

Then according to your opinion, elder, how should this matter be handled? "

Mitomon Yan replied without hesitation: "Of course, Uchiha Mai should be recalled to Konoha immediately, and someone else should be assigned to serve as the head of the [Station Headquarters].

Not only that, Uchiha Mai's crimes should be judged in front of all Konoha ninjas.

He actually made such a decision without consulting the Hokage first. Does he still have Konoha and the Hokage in his heart?

He is the biggest traitor of Konoha! "

"Crack~" Fugaku gritted his teeth slightly when he heard this, ignoring Mitomon Yan who still said nothing, thinking about how to kill this old bitch without anyone knowing.

So our Uchiha genius performed too well, or was it a sin?

We conquered the Hidden Mist Village, and you want to pick peaches without doing anything. How can such a good thing happen.

"Great!"

Tsunade clapped her hands lightly, and continued to ask with a smile: "Then according to the elder, who can be competent for the position of the head of the [Station Headquarters]? "

Mitomon En pondered for a moment and replied: "Hokage can assist Shimura Danzo and Anbu chief Namikaze Minato.

It's just right that after the trial of Uchiha Mai, he can go to the Sand Village front and cross the Cloud Village front to solve Konoha's urgent needs. ”

Perfect, it can not only bring out the advantage of Uchiha Mai's strong strength, but also protect the power of the Hokage.

Stupid, Fugaku cursed in his heart.

Some people have been sitting in the office for too long, and their brains have degenerated.

They want the horse to run but don't give it grass to eat, they are stingy and want employees to work overtime for free, and even want employees to pay for overtime, in the name of gratitude to the leader for giving me a job opportunity.

The donkeys in the production team have never been exploited like this.

Tsunade took a deep breath, and was really stunned by Mito Kado En's cerebral palsy remarks.

How did this guy become the assistant of the Hokage?

No wonder the old man's decrees sometimes look very cerebral, which makes people's blood pressure soar and doubt his IQ. It turns out that he is rooted.

How can we govern Konoha with such insects?

"Okay. "

Tsunade smiled and said, "I will send an urgent summons immediately, summoning Uchiha Mai to Konoha to stand trial in the name of Acting Hokage, and at the same time stripping him of his self-proclaimed position as the head of the [Mist Headquarters].

As the saying goes, whoever proposes it must implement it. I wonder if Elder Mitomon En is willing to serve as an envoy and go to the Hidden Mist Village to announce this decree to Uchiha Mai?"
