Watching with eager eyes

Uchiha Tokko desperately needs to find an opponent to verify his strength.

After being strengthened by the "sacred particles", Uchiha Tokko's confidence continued to expand just like the amount of chakra that continued to grow every day.

Moreover, the existence and operation of the Shogunate requires continuous war to stimulate, the Uchiha clan's ninja army also needs to be tempered by war, and the expansion of the United Company requires external force to deter local snakes everywhere. Even the Minamigagawa Securities Exchange

The exchange also needs constant news of victory as good news to stimulate wealthy businessmen to buy bonds frantically.

Moreover, Uchiha Tokumitsu was also worried that the [Uchiha Clan-Shogunate Shogunate-United Company], a super giant monopoly organization that was forcibly kneaded together by others, would quickly degenerate once it lost its enemies and goals.

But petty fights can no longer satisfy Uchiha Tokumitsu's desire for conquest. He urgently needs a more intimidating target.

Kirigakure is a perfect target.

The shogunate has the glorious victory of Kirigakure in the conquest period as the confidence, and the Ninja Army under its command has sufficient confidence no matter what the purpose of the war is; among other major countries in the Ninja world, Kumogakure is stubbornly resisting Kirigakure's invasion in the northern part of the Land of Thunder; Iwa

As for Gakure, as early as the First Ninja War, the second generation Tsuchikage Mu and Kirigakure's generation Mizukage Kiden Gengetsu died together. This old enemy Iwagakure never had a chance to avenge; and Sunagakure even fought with Kirigakure eight poles.

Can't catch it.

Therefore, making Kirigakure the primary target for conquering the Shogunate is the safest choice.

As for the armistice agreement with Kirigakure, arms trade, etc., they are just casual financial transactions, and naturally they don't count.

In fact, the above reasons are just the reasons used by Uchiha Tokko to convince the family and the affiliated ninja clan of the United Company to send troops to start a war.

His real purpose is still the old and immortal ancestor!

Uchiha Madara!

The once famous figure who suppressed the ninja world!

Whether it is the sacred weapon of the Uchiha clan, the Flame Dan Fan, which has been passed down from generation to generation in his hand, or whether he has cultivated the Rinnegan Eye, or the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki that still belongs to Kirigakure, Uchiha Tokumitsu wants it all!

Besides, since Uchiha Madara, who is both old and not dead, can control the real third generation Mizukage and thus control the Kirigakure ninja village, then Uchiha Tokumitsu's three columns of conquering Yi are even more rooted in the Kirigakure ninja clan.

For a wealthy family, with their support, it would be natural for them to take over Kirigakure!

Therefore, Konoe Atsushi, the special envoy of the Daimyo of the Water Kingdom who had been under house arrest for nearly ten days, was finally released and was taken to Fubo City to meet Uchiha Tokimitsu.

"General Deguang, I am entrusted by the great names of our country to come to pay homage and wish you prosperity in martial arts!"

As soon as they met, Konoe Atsushi immediately paid homage and respectfully paid homage to Uchiha Tokumitsu who was sitting in the high seat of the lobby of the shogunate's official residence.

Uchiha Tokimitsu originally thought of finding fault with etiquette, but one look at this posture showed that this idea was in vain.

"The great name is so diligent when he has nothing to do, why?"

But Uchiha Tokumitsu still didn't want to give a good look, so he stared at Konoe Atsushi coldly and said.

"It's just a congratulation, there is no other plan."

Konoe Atsushi's face turned pale under the pressure of Uchiha Tokumitsu, but he still managed to straighten up and salute Uchiha Tokumitsu: "I learned that Lord Tokumitsu has been sealed by the General of the Land of Fire, the Governor of Konoha Military Affairs, His Highness the Daimyo

I am very happy to hear this, and I specially sent you to visit and congratulate me, so as to enhance the traditional friendship between you and us!"

What a traditional friendship!

Uchiha Tokko also felt speechless.

"...How happy is the daimyo of your country?"

Uchiha Tokko didn't know what to say, so a rather nonsensical sentence came out of his mouth.

"This, this..."

When the sharp-tongued Konoe Atsushi heard this, his brain, which was still running rapidly, immediately got stuck and he didn't know how to reply.

He couldn't directly say that the daimyo was actually furious after learning about Uchiha Tokumitsu's title ban!

"My title is General of the Conquering Yi. Could it be that His Highness the Daiming has unjust ministers under his command who need to be conquered and suppressed?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said maliciously: "Let me guess... it should be Kirigakure who makes His Highness the Daimyo very worried, right?"

"This... Kirigakure defeated Kumogakure in a row under the leadership of Lord Mizukage, and his military exploits were outstanding. His Highness the Daimyo is naturally very satisfied with Kirigakure..."

Konoe Atsushi's forehead broke out in cold sweat as he stammered in reply.

"...Really?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu leaned back on his chair and continued to examine Konoe Atsushi, whose expression gradually became tense.

The hall of the official residence became dead silent.

Konoe Atsushi's mind went blank again, and cold sweat continued to drip from his forehead, quickly wetting the stone tiles on the ground.

Fortunately, Uchiha Tokumitsu maintained his identity and did not use illusions to bewitch this ordinary person. Otherwise, Konoe Atsushi would have lost his mind long ago.

"I appreciate the Daimyo's kindness..."

Uchiha Tokko finally broke the silence.

Konoe Atsushi, whose body was already shaky, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he was about to faint.

"But I heard that there have been some unfriendly actions against the Justices of the Peace in the Daimyo territory..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's words once again threw Konoe Atsushi, who had just recovered from his trance, into the abyss: "It is said that the governors in various places do not recognize the lifelong honorary genin status issued by the headquarters, and also impose high taxes?"

"This, this..."

Konoe Atsushi forced himself to think quickly: "Lord Tokumitsu, this is the first time I have heard of this. Please allow me to go back and report to His Highness the Daimyo. I will definitely give you an explanation afterwards!"

He didn't dare to say that such a thing had never happened, so he could only answer vaguely in order to get through.

"It's okay, check slowly..."

Uchiha Demitsu said leisurely: "We must investigate carefully and get to the bottom of it! Find out all the masterminds behind the scenes, and bring them to justice regardless of their identities!"

"I will bear in mind what Lord Tokumitsu said, and I will definitely report it to His Highness the Daimyo when I return..."

Konoe Atsushi was even more afraid to agree, so he could only answer vaguely again.

"Hmm...very good..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't take it seriously either, "The traditional friendship between the shogunate and the Daming Palace is indestructible, and the conspiracy of those with ulterior motives is destined to not succeed."

"Yes yes~"

Konoe Atsushi nodded hurriedly.

After several rounds of coercion and coercion, his thinking was completely confused, and he was unknowingly entangled by Tokumitsu Uchiha.

But this is normal. Even an ordinary jounin would be trembling in front of Uchiha Tokumitsu, not to mention that he is just a pampered nobleman.

"By the way, there is one more thing..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu slapped the table as if he suddenly thought of something, causing Atsushi Konoe, who was nervous, to tremble.

"But it's just a trivial matter. I don't think His Highness the Daimyo will refuse, right?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't say what was going on, he just looked at the trembling Konoe Atsushi with a smile.

"...I would like to ask Lord Deguang to clarify my doubts. May I ask what is the matter?"

Konoe Atsushi's reason once again gained the upper hand, and he reluctantly said: "As long as it's not too much... His Highness the Daimyo will also open the door to convenience for His Majesty the Shogun."

"It's really just a small thing."

Uchiha Tokumitsu picked up the teacup on the table and took an elegant sip: "The headquarters plans to hold a military exercise on the western coast in ten days. The sea area will need to be blocked by then, and to prevent accidental damage, no boards will be allowed to enter the sea!"

Konoe Atsushi was stunned by this request.

The western sea area is the main transportation route for the Kirigakure Ninja Army's expedition to the Land of Thunder!

All soldiers and supplies set sail through the western coastal ports to transport supplies to the front line!

Blocking the sea area sounds like a trivial matter, but who knows how long Uchiha Tokumitsu will block it?

Who dares to bet that Uchiha Tokumitsu will just play for a day or two and then go back?

If the supply line is cut off, the Kirigakure expeditionary force, which is alone in the ninja continent, will be isolated and helpless!

"I think... His Highness the Daimyo will not refuse me this simple request..."

Uchiha Tokko picked up the tea cup again and signaled to see off the guests.

…

The confused Konoe Atsushi didn't even know how he was sent back to the embassy area.

But after he woke up, there was only one slang that had spread throughout Konoha in his mind -

"The heart of the Uchiha—everyone knows it!"
