Uchiha Tokumitsu's practice lasted for five days, and he returned to the camp at night.

When we returned to the camp, before we had to tidy up, staff officer Yukihira Nara came over.

"Commander Tokimitsu." Nara Yukihei said out of breath, panting after running in a hurry, "The village's ANBU arrived yesterday. It is said that the Hokage has a new order for you."

"Yesterday?" Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, "Why don't you send someone to find me? What if this delay delays something urgent?"

Nara Yukihei laughed a few times and didn't know what to say. Even if he wanted to find it, he had to find it and pass through the heavy blockade.

"What is the content of the Hokage's edict? Do you know?" Uchiha Tokumitsu put down his luggage and walked out of the tent without packing it up.

"This... I don't know..." Nara Yukihei replied with a grimace. The edict passed by the ANBU directly under the Hokage to the deputy commander of the border forces was something that he, a staff officer responsible for only doing chores, could not be involved in.

"Where is Lord Kamon?" Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly walked towards the Chinese army tent where official business was being handled. "Is there an edict for him?"

"Homon-sama received a commendation order from Hokage-sama." Nara Yukihei quickly replied.

"Oh..." Uchiha Tokumitsu thought thoughtfully.

After returning to the Chinese army's tent and sitting down, Uchiha Tokumitsu sent Nara Yukihei to summon the ANBU, while he continued to read the intelligence documents.

During the few days he was away, the Taki Ninja Village went crazy and swept around its territory, often crossing the border into the Country of Grass. Regarding this matter, Nara Yukihei's advice in the document was to 'stay vigilant'

Deploy additional Border Patrol agents'.

Uchiha Tokumitsu agreed to this suggestion with a stroke of his pen.

I picked up a few more intelligence documents, but they were the recent developments in the Kingdom of Rain.

The Rain Ninja Army led by Sansho Uo Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Ninja Village, fought several small-scale battles with the Sunagakure Ninja Army that entered its territory. There were victories and defeats for each other, but Hanzo also failed in the hands of the veteran strongman Chiyo Advisor led by Sunagakure.

After the settlement, local wars ended with the rain ninja voluntarily retreating, and Sunagakure Village has since gained a foothold on the border of the Land of Rain.

Since then, the foreign ninja village forces in the Kingdom of Rain include Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, and they have all established garrison camps within their borders. The three great ninja villages serve a small Kingdom of Rain.

No one else has this blessing.

I opened another piece of information, and the content was about Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth. The content was that Iwagakure's elite demolition troops had been mobilized frequently recently, and the Iwagakure camp located on the outer edge of the northern border of the Land of Grass also had many changes.

There seems to be a tendency to cross the border.

After reading a round of intelligence, there was nothing of high value. Uchiha Tokumitsu then put away a pile of documents on the table. At this time, Nara Yukihei also walked in with three Anbu.

"Commander Tokimitsu." Nara Yukihei saluted Uchiha Tokimitsu, "The ANBU are here with the Hokage-sama's order."

The three messenger ANBU also bowed and saluted Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Tokumitsu Uchiha was also a little surprised when he met such a polite ANBU.

"Commander Tokimitsu, on the orders of Lord Hokage, I am here to deliver a special edict to you." One of the leading ANBU took out a scroll, stepped forward and handed it to Uchiha Tokimitsu.

When I opened it, it was about the previous battle in Taki Country, where he and Hatake Sakumo killed Tsuchikage's assistant, Kumogakure secretary and the two-tailed jinchūriki. For this, the Hokage praised him highly in the scroll.

, however, they also requested that the matter be kept secret because of the seriousness of the matter, and the village was only doing it for reward and could not publicize it to the outside world.

To this, Uchiha Tokko also expressed his understanding.

He didn't want to make a loud noise and make it known to everyone, otherwise he would be embarrassed if the Tsuchikage and Raikage came to his door regardless of their status.

In particular, Kumogakure's Jinchuuriki died in battle, and it would take several years for the tailed beast to regenerate. During this period of time, if Kumogakure failed to get the news of the Jinchuuriki's death in time, he would have to go through all kinds of searching.

Let the savage Kumogakure worry about this, and the Uchiha ninja army of Grass Country can't help but walk around.

"Is it just because of this?" Uchiha Tokumitsu raised the scroll in his hand, a little confused.

"If it's just this matter, is it necessary for the ANBU to stay here for a few days and wait for me? Tell me, what else is there."

The three ANBU looked at each other and said, "There is indeed another special matter, but it involves a secret relationship..." The ANBU glanced at Nara Yukihei who was standing aside.

It's so annoying.

Uchiha Tokumitsu muttered criticism in his heart, but still waved his hand to let Nara Yukihira go out first.

"Commander Tokumitsu, Hokage-sama has special instructions and requires you to give immediate approval." The ANBU stepped forward again and handed over a scroll.

Uchiha Tokumitsu took it and opened it again. The contents of the scroll surprised him a little.

"Special report..."

The content in the scroll requires Uchiha Tokko to return to Konoha in the near future to report on the battle in Takino Country, Iwagakure's unusual movements, etc., and to reward him for his merits.

But this content is not considered to be any special secret. Is it necessary for the counselor to recuse himself?

"Commander Tokumitsu, Hokage-sama also has a special command." The ANBU who ordered the order seemed to see Uchiha Tokumitsu's confusion and explained, "This special report involves the adjustment of the defense zones and combat objectives of the Ninja Army in all aspects. In addition to

In addition to the Northwest Border Defense Force, other border troops and external troops have their respective commanders ordered to return to the village to discuss the military situation."

Uchiha Tokko raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, I get it."

Anbu remained motionless.

"What? Is there anything else?"

"Commander Deguang, this matter is of great importance. When do you plan to leave for the village? It is best for us to respond first."

"Tomorrow." Uchiha Tokumitsu thought for a while. Anyway, there has been nothing special happening in the garrison camp recently, so he should go back to the village early to take a look, which can be regarded as a vacation.

"Then I'll say goodbye first." After receiving Uchiha Tokumitsu's reply, the three Anbu also said goodbye and left.

After ordering the ANBU to leave, Uchiha Tokumitsu went to Uchiha Fire Gate and discussed the matter with him again. They discussed the so-called 'special report' for several rounds, and finally formed a series of consensus and countermeasures.

Intuition told Uchiha Tokko that this so-called 'special report' might not be simple. Since it involved the commanders of various defense zones, it was definitely not as lighthearted as the superficial report of duty. It would inevitably involve a verbal struggle.

Currently, through the Northwest Border Defense Force, the Uchiha family ninjas are able to extend their power to cover the entire Kingdom of Grass. At the same time, they have made a lot of profits by controlling trade, mission issuance and capital flow in the Kingdom of Grass, almost covering the entire Kingdom of Grass.

The country has pocketed the huge benefits, and outsiders cannot help but be jealous.

In particular, the Uchiha clan still controls the Grass Ninja Village, which makes a very small number of interested people extremely jealous.

And the Uchiha senior officials, headed by Uchiha Kamon, also sent ninjas as guardian ninjas for the Daimyos of Grass Country, which violated the village's taboo.

In comparison, in the face of huge interests, the achievements made by the Uchiha clan in the Country of Grass are not considered to be anything extraordinary.

At this time, unless someone secretly steals the peaches of the Uchiha clan, or gets a share of the grass country's interests, it is estimated that the village's senior officials will not give up.

…

After traveling all the way, Uchiha Tokumitsu led his troops back to the Konoha Ninja Village where he was temporarily loyal.

Today is a special day.

The atmosphere in Konoha Village is also particularly intense, with carp streamers of various shapes flying in the wind everywhere. The originally strict ninjas of the police department also turn a blind eye to this behavior that may be used by spies to transmit signal intelligence.

Mainly because the most important New Year in Konoha is coming soon, so even the most impartial police ninjas who enforce the law are particularly tolerant of this.

After completing formalities for returning to the village at the Konoha gate, Uchiha Tokumitsu walked slowly on the street towards the Hokage Building.

Long before he came back, he had communicated with Uchiha Kamon and his family about this matter, so after returning to the village, he was not in a hurry to go home, but planned to go directly to the Hokage Building to make a 'special report'.

Uchiha and his party were walking on the street. Although the businesses and pedestrians along the way shunned them, they did not show any obvious rejection.

"Tokuguang-kun!" came a familiar voice.

Uchiha Tokumitsu turned around and saw that it was his old acquaintance Sakumo Hatake who was standing at the window on the second floor of the store to greet him.

The smiling silver-haired young man was still dressed smartly as always.

Wearing a Konoha-standard Jonin vest, carrying a short sword on his back, and a bulging bag of ninja tools, he looked like he was ready for battle anytime and anywhere.

"You're back so soon?" Hatake Sakumo jumped from the second-floor window and landed firmly beside Uchiha Tokumitsu, "Are you planning to go directly to the Hokage Building?"

"Yes." Uchiha Tokumitsu also acted very friendly, "Has Sakumo Jounin taken a break recently?"

"The village has been mobilized quite frequently recently." Hatake Sakumo replied, "I am also looking forward to the opportunity to fight alongside Tokumitsu-kun again."

Uchiha Tokko's heart moved.

"It seems that Sakumo Jounin is so high-spirited because he has been promoted." Uchiha Tokumitsu also tried.

"The situation in the ninja world has been turbulent recently. As a member of the village, I am naturally relatively busy."

"Direction to the Kingdom of Frost?"

The Country of Frost is a neighboring country to the Country of Taki, and Uchiha Tokumitsu refers to the battle in the Country of Taki by this name.

"Well... it's the Kawa no Kuni; Sunagakure just recently had a truce with the rain ninja, and it caused a bit of a stir in the Kawa no Kuni."

On the street, the two of them couldn't say anything directly, so they just revealed information to each other based on their tacit understanding.

Just walking and chatting like this, after a while, we arrived in front of the Hokage Building, which looked like a red bucket.

"Okay, I won't delay Tokumitsu-kun." Hatake Sakumo stopped and said, "Hokage-sama should be waiting. Tokumitsu-kun, please go and report first. We will talk about it when you have time."

Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't say anything, nodded, watched Hatake Sakumo leave, and then walked into the Hokage Building.
