The heads and elders of each family knew the purpose of the Hokage's calling for the Ninja clan meeting.

Everyone also knows something about the situation Konoha is currently facing.

Yes, the village is in trouble, but what does the Honin clan have to do with it?

Each ninja clan has registered ninjas working for the village, and those non-registered family ninjas are the backbone of maintaining the inheritance of the ninja clan.

Moreover, as early as when the village was founded, the first generation had already made clear the rules. Those who belong to the Ninja Village belong to the Ninja Village, and those who belong to the family belong to the family. They are clearly independent and do not interfere with each other.

Now, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen is clearly trying to take down the roots of each family, which is a big taboo!

So: I have to pay more!

And it's not just money and materials, but also the corresponding ninja level and position, otherwise the ninja clan would rather not serve as an official.

To put it bluntly, if you don’t see the rabbit, you won’t let the eagle fly.

Moreover, no one has any idea of ​​how the ninja world will develop in the future and how the scale of the war will be in the stormy Ninja world. However, if the ninjas sent out reach the Jonin level, the war will be over within two battles.

, then for the ninja clan, this is a good thing for free.

Naturally, the Third Generation Hiruzen Sarutobi had a thorough understanding of the psychology of the ninja clan. After all, the Sarutobi clan he came from was also the greatest ninja clan in Konoha after several thousand-year-old wealthy families.

Moreover, he specially invited Tsunade to this Ninja Clan meeting, hoping that as a direct descendant of the Senju and a first-generation granddaughter, the people from the Senju Ninja Clan would be merciful.

…

In the large conference room of the Hokage Building.

In front of the conference room is a long platform composed of multiple tables. This is the seat of the Hokage and advisor. Below are rows of tables and chairs, which are the seats of the leaders of each ninja clan. The overall layout is relatively simple, just like a classroom in a ninja school.

half.

In the first row of seats below, the Uchiha clan and the close ninja clan occupy the left side, Hinata and the close ninja clan occupy the right side, and in the middle are the Senju clan represented by Tsunade and other small and medium-sized ninja clans; from the seats,

You can see the strength of each ninja clan.

Even though the Senju clan was in dilapidated state after the war, there were still many Senju who returned to seclusion, married into various small and medium-sized ninja clans, or established their own clans and established new clan names. Even if their prestige was no longer there, the Senju were still in the hearts of all the small and medium-sized ninja clans.

The Shangzong in the middle.

As for Uchiha and Hinata, one is an urban management policeman who gets scolded even if he does dirty work; the other is a scout who stares bitterly and is used as a scanner. Although they are both from the so-called thousand-year-old wealthy family,

He doesn't have any decent power in his hands, and he can't even be described as being aggrieved, but at least he's not powerful enough.

The Uchiha clan attended this meeting were the leader of the clan, Uchiha Shigata, and his legitimate son Uchiha Fugaku, as well as the police representative Yusuke Uchiha, the radical representative Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the conservative representative Uchiha Michiyo; throughout

At the venue, the Uchiha clan had the largest number of attendees and the most scattered ones.

Before the meeting started, Uchiha Tokumitsu began to look at the ninja leaders attending the meeting unscrupulously.

First of all, there is Uchiha's archenemy, the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, Tsunade Hime; the current Tsunade looks like a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, and does not have the magnanimity of later generations. Apart from her face, she is okay.

Other than that, the rest of the place is unremarkable.

Perhaps because Uchiha Tokko's gaze was too naked and unscrupulous, Tsunade stared at her fiercely and then gritted her teeth and turned her head away.

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care, and looked to the right side of the venue. Sitting in the front row were three Hyugas, one large, two small, and they should be the contemporary patriarch and his two sons, Hinata and Hizashi. Hinata and Hizashi were just two people's foreheads

They all wore Konoha forehead protectors, and it was hard to tell who was from whom.

Looking to the back, behind Tsunade were Sarutobi, Shimura, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, Aburame, Inuzuka, Hatake and other Konoha ninja clans.

Hinata's back was also densely packed with people, probably also vassal ninjas under his command.

Looking behind Uchiha, there were about ten people sitting in twos and threes.

The contrast in power between the Uchiha and the mainstream Senju and Hokage families in the village is evident.

Uchiha has an aloof personality and is still being suppressed, so it is difficult to win over other ninjas.

There is a long way to go.

Uchiha Tokko sighed inwardly.

While Uchiha Tokumitsu was looking at others, other ninjas were also observing him, who should be the most prominent young generation in Konoha.

Especially the Hyuga clan with Byakugan, although they can look straight ahead without squinting, but for the Byakugan blood succession limit, they can observe from a wide angle even without opening Byakugan, but the distance is not that far.

"Father, his chakra concentration level...seems to have surpassed that of many jounin..."

One of the Hyuga children whispered to the Hyuga clan leader.

"Rizu, he should have awakened the three magatama..."

The Hyuga clan leader said to his heir, his legitimate son.

As both a thousand-year-old wealthy family, the Uchiha clan has always surpassed Hinata in terms of strength and prestige. Even though the current Uchiha clan has been at its weakest period in thousands of years, it still overtakes Hinata. Even the next generation seems to be the same.

There is nothing comparable.

"Eight-year-old Sanmagatama..."

The head of the Hyuga clan lamented in his heart, the Hyuga clan is so majestic, but they don’t know when they will be able to suppress the Uchiha and become the most powerful clan in the ninja world.

…

When the leaders of the various ninja clans were bragging and talking, there was an ANBU shouting from outside the rear door, "Hokage-sama is here~"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, came with his three advisors, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadeno, and Koharu Koharu.

"Lord Hokage..."

"Sandaime..."

The ninja leaders in the middle of the venue stood up to say hello one after another. Some of the close ninja leaders behind them in the Hyuga camp on the right stood up to say hello; while in the Uchiha camp on the left, no matter they were Uchiha or vassal ninja, everyone was confused.

If you don't know, don't be moved.

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen chatted with the leaders of the various ninja clans one by one for a while before walking up to the main stage of the meeting and sitting down.

The beginning was as usual in official Chinese. The third generation Hiruzen Sarutobi highly praised the efforts and responsibilities of the major ninja clans, and praised the noble sentiments of the major ninja clans, saying that the development and prosperity of Konoha cannot be separated from the ninja clans.

Full support to Yunyun.

During this cliched official talk, the Uchiha clan and the vassal camp were drowsy, the Hyuga camp closed their eyes and rested, and the Senju and Hokage camps in the middle burst into applause, they were very involved and passionate.

Oh, except for Tsunade who was dozing off with her chin propped up.

After talking about his past contributions, he started talking about the current situation. The Sandaime briefly explained the current situation of the ninja world, and made a basic assessment and plan for a possible ninja war.

Finally comes the highlight——

"...Based on the above situation, after discussion by the Hokage and the advisory elders, it is now planned to recruit ninjas from all ninja clans, and open the ninja review and grading inspection. If the ninjas who are not registered have sufficient strength, they can be directly judged as jounin!"

As soon as this statement came out, the representatives of the small and medium-sized ninja clan in the middle exploded, criticizing the jounin directly! This is a great news for the small and medium-sized ninja clan who continue to expand their family's voice.

In peacetime, since jounin itself is the upper echelon of the village, the assessment requirements are not only strength and command strategy, but also more annoying is that there is a quota limit every year. Each ninja clan has more or less non-registered clan members who have not been assessed as jounin titles.

Yes, in the past, it didn't matter when the highest level of direct evaluation was up to the chuunin level, and family ninjas could endure loneliness. But if one can directly evaluate a jounin and become the decision-maker of the village, the meaning will be different.

Uchiha Tokumitsu wanted to laugh a little when he looked at Sarutobi, Shimura and other ninja representatives who were talking excitedly to other ninja leaders.

It's understandable that the other ninja clan didn't know, but it would be a joke to say that the two clans from high-ranking Konoha clans didn't know about this beforehand.

Looking back at the Hyuga clan camp, the vassal ninja clan sitting behind Hyuga and his son just looked at each other, which is normal. Looking back at the Uchiha clan's rear, fortunately, everyone was unmoved; seeing Uchiha Tokimitsu looking back, everyone was talking to each other.

The leaders of the Fu Nin clan also smiled and nodded to him.

'At least the Uchiha camp is still firm.'

The Sandaime looked at the noisy venue with a kind smile on his face, while Danzo and three other advisors kept glancing at Uchiha and Hinata.

"Heads of the clan, if there are any ninja elites who accept the conscription, you can start signing up now."

As soon as the Sandaime said this, the first person to stand up was the representative of the Sarutobi clan.

"Hokage-sama, the Sarutobi clan will have 6 jounin and 80 chunin to be recruited by the village!"

"The Shimura clan will have 5 jounin and 60 chunin who will be recruited by the village."

"The Nara clan..."

"The mountain clan..."

The ninjas of the Hokage family expressed their opinions one after another, leading other ninjas to start to stand out.

However, Uchiha, Hinata and their relatives were unmoved.

…

After a moment of commotion, the ninja clan in the middle of the venue finished reporting their head count, and the place became slightly quiet.

Everyone's eyes began to turn to the two wealthy Uchiha and Hinata families on both sides.

After pondering for a moment, the Hyuga clan leader spoke.

"The Hyuga clan will recruit 20 jounin and 80 chunin from the family to accept the recruitment of the village."

Subsequently, the various ninja clans behind him also expressed their opinions.

The final pressure was put on the Uchiha camp.

The Uchiha clan leader glanced at the clan members around him to indicate if there were any problems.
To be continued...
