Chapter 57 Sakumo’s strength

7pm.

At this time, the sun has gone down and night is gradually coming over. At this time, the streets have begun to become deserted. Due to the recent increasingly frequent conflicts between various countries, the impact on the trade routes has become greater and greater. The large caravans that were originally seen everywhere have also

It was shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and more and more ninjas in Konoha were recruited by the village to garrison, and the streets became a lot deserted as a result.

The impact of the war is not only death, but also the decline and loneliness in business, which is also one of the traumas caused by the war.

Compared to the streets of the village, the Uchiha clan was much deserted at this time.

Hand-burning workshop.

This is a small restaurant opened by an ordinary old Uchiha couple in the clan area. It originally specialized in light meals such as pancakes. Recently, it has added sushi, grilled birds and other businesses, and can also provide dine-in booths.

time, so the ninjas of the Uchiha clan also come more frequently.

Although the merchants in the village commercial street did not dare to be disrespectful to the Uchihas of the police department, even the Uchihas felt quite uncomfortable having to eat and drink in the presence of other people's trembling and fearful attitude, so more

They will be relatively more willing to spend money at merchants in their clan areas.

The paper lantern hanging at the door emits a soft orange light, and the three large black characters of Hand Shao Fang printed on the lantern are particularly eye-catching.

When Uchiha Tokumitsu came to the door of the store, the enthusiastic store owners Uchiha Teyaki and his wife Uchiha Ai greeted him warmly.

"Master Deguang, welcome to visit~"

"Good evening, Uncle Teyaki." Uchiha Tokumitsu greeted the two of them politely, and did not show contempt because they were ordinary people. "I have an appointment with cousin Fugaku, has he arrived?"

"The young patriarch has arrived, please come with me." Uncle Teyaki enthusiastically led Uchiha Tokumitsu into a compartment in the room.

Pushing the door open, Uchiha Fugaku was already sitting upright drinking tea.

From the perspective of etiquette, Uchiha Fugaku behaved impeccably.

At least, he did it by being cautious and independent.

…

"This matter really needs to be discussed with Elder Setsuna."

Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't help but eat the ramen made by the teriyaki uncle. It tasted good and the soup taste was very good. It was no worse than Ichiraku's ramen.

"Why? The position of deputy commander of the Mobile Force is a rare real job. Would Elder Setsuna still disagree?" Uchiha Fugaku frowned, looking a little annoyed, "Or Tokumitsu-kun, you don't have enough subordinates.

I can allocate personnel to you."

"It has nothing to do with manpower." Uchiha Tokumitsu was eating ramen and tempura by himself. He said that the fried food produced by the hand-yaki uncle was indeed good, and he ate it happily. "Major matters involving factions and

Let’s discuss it with you, it won’t be wrong.”

The differences between the two came from the treatment of Uchiha Tokumitsu's upcoming position as deputy commander of the Mobile Force and the transfer of twelve Uchiha Jonin to join the Mobile Force.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was obviously not very enthusiastic, but Uchiha Fugaku took it particularly seriously.

In the eyes of Uchiha Tokko, this so-called new ninja army is likely to be used to consume the Uchiha clan's vitality. It has little power but little responsibility, and is a hard nut to crack; but in Uchiha Fugaku's view

, but it is a springboard for the Uchiha clan to gain more rights.

"I have no right to manipulate the freedom of any tribesman, especially a Jonin. That is an insult to his strength and dignity." The sushi and sashimi were also very good, and Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't stop using his chopsticks.

It's just a pity that due to the somewhat ridiculous ninja's three prohibitions on alcohol, Uncle Teyaki did not sell alcohol to him, an underage jounin. "Even the Hokage cannot restrict the actions of a jounin at will, even in wartime."

Recruitment requires a resolution passed by the jounin meeting before a mandatory recruitment can be issued. What's more, the jounin of the family must be transferred into this ninja army that is destined to carry out dangerous missions."

This is also a long-standing paradox within Konoha.

As the highest-ranking title of a ninja, a jounin is naturally a commander above the level of a ninja squadron and has a transcendent status. However, since the third generation came to power, they have been committed to strengthening the power of the Hokage Building. The status of jounin has been weakened, and the status of the ninja has been weakened.

There is a lot of suppression from other clans, especially the Uchiha clan, which is already a target, and it is obvious that the sense of restraint is becoming more and more obvious.

The turning point came when Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Homon came out of town to take charge of the northwest border defense force. With the dual effects of timing and strength, the Uchiha clan easily obtained the interests of the Grass Country. Generous

The profits also stimulated the Uchiha people to pursue more bloody and eager pursuit of more opportunities to gain power and benefits.

Uchiha Fugaku hoped that the twenty-one main combat jounin of the mobile unit would all be drawn from the Uchiha clan, while Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that even twelve jounin were too many.

He was also thinking about whether he could draft a few jounin from the Sarutobi or Shimura clan to serve as scapegoats when he and Hatake Sakumo decided on the other nine jounin tomorrow.

The meal with Fugaku was not a pleasant one.

Although the two did not break up on bad terms in the end, they could not be said to live in harmony. It can only be said that the two parties had a sufficient exchange of views.

After bidding farewell to Fugaku, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not rush home. Instead, he packed up another piece of sashimi at Uncle Teiyaki's shop and carried it to Elder Setsuna's mansion.

Compared to the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the young patriarch Uchiha Fugaku, he is still more willing to respect and accept the opinions of the elderly.

…

The next day, after discussing with Elder Setsuna, Uchiha Tokumitsu reasonably obtained the right to transfer twelve Uchiha jounin.

Although Elder Setsuna did not attach much importance to the position of deputy commander of the mobile unit, he regarded participating in the mobile unit as a good place to hone his Jonin strength.

For the senior ninjas who survived the Warring States Period, the strength of this generation of jounin is still relatively weak, and they seriously lack the test of life and death.

Uchiha Tokumitsu had no objection to this. After all, the twelve jounin summoned under the instructions of Elder Setsuna were all militants of the Uchiha clan. They usually performed various private special tasks for the family. They

He also regarded joining the mobile unit as an opportunity to hone his strength, so it wouldn't be considered a violation of the Jonin's wishes.

Therefore, when Uchiha Tokumitsu brought twelve Sanmagatama Jonin and Hatake Sakumo together, even the well-informed Konoha White Fang was amazed by Uchiha Tokumitsu's efficiency.

He thought it would take at least four or five days for the Uchiha clan to complete the recruitment of Jonin. Unexpectedly, it was done overnight, and each of them was full of vigor and vigor. At first glance, they looked like experienced veterans.

Tolerate.

Hatake Sakumo was very excited about the addition of the first batch of main ninjas. For a long time, the higher-level ninja combat force he had been dreaming of and tirelessly planning to form finally got off to a good start.

Similarly, the Konoha Administrative Department also worked quickly and quickly approved a station and training ground for the mobile unit, but they were all located in the forest outside the village.

There is no way, there is really no suitable place to find in Konoha Village, where land is at a premium.

As for digging a basement?

Don't be kidding, as a gathering place for ninjas, the lower part of Konoha Village has long been riddled with holes by generations of ninjas. Everyone likes to build a basement under their house like a gopher to make some inconveniences visible to the public.

As time goes by, naturally the tunnels are densely packed with traps, and there is no room for such things as underground settlements.

In addition, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Hatake Sakumo initially selected nine other jounin based on ninja information. He also specially selected two jonin from the Sarutobi clan and two jonin from the Shimura clan.

The standing ninja that exists.

As for the reason, it was mainly because Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that it couldn't be completed without the elite members of Sarutobi Shimura, otherwise it wouldn't feel complete.

By the afternoon, the personnel of the mobile unit were basically mobilized. All the twenty-one Jonin responsible for combat operations were present, all the logistics and internal affairs personnel transferred from the Ministry of Government Affairs were present, and the auxiliary ninjas were also gradually transferred in. The entire

The organizational structure began to work together.

The internal affairs ninjas from the Ministry of Government handled the affairs of the base in an orderly manner. Hatake Sakumo was particularly happy. After he had some free time, he felt itchy for a while, so he invited all the jounin to fight together on the pretext of getting along with his comrades.

All jonins are naturally eager to try.

Although the reputation of 'White Fang' is well-known to everyone in Konoha, young and old, everyone is a jounin, and they still have some hard skills. Naturally, they will not be as afraid of White Fang as the tailed beast like the ninjas in other ninja villages.

, all want to try Bai Ya’s kilograms.

The result of the battle was that everyone on the training ground understood the whole truth of "the gap between jounin may be wider than the gap between man and dog".

Two jounin from the Sarutobi clan, a jounin from the Shimura clan, and an Uchiha jounin took turns challenging them, but they were all defeated by Hatake Sakumo.

Moreover, instead of relying on all kinds of fancy ninjutsu, it all ended with Hatake Sakumo holding the sword across his neck.

Simple and direct sword skills, coupled with unparalleled speed and just the right amount of strength, seem simple but have been practiced to the extreme. Konoha White Fang has become invincible through this.

"Commander Sakumo, let me give it a try!" Uchiha Tokumitsu couldn't hold it any longer. He was also happy to see that he was hunting, and took the initiative to challenge Hatake Sakumo.

Although the two have known each other for a while, they have not officially tried their luck.

"Okay." Hatake Sakumo was equally happy.

After watching from the sidelines for a while, Uchiha Tokumitsu also had a direct understanding of Sakumo's strength.

To put it simply, he is a thrusting ninja with unparalleled speed.

Therefore, Uchiha Tokko immediately put his hands together and circulated the chakra in his body to refine and transform it.

"Fire Escape Chakra Mode!"

Deep purple flames of flames enveloped the whole body.

Against Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo, he would naturally not ask Dai to use Uchiha-style swordsmanship. When his speed, strength and experience were far inferior to that of swordsmanship, it would be a self-inflicted humiliation.

Hatake Sakumo held the sword in both hands and assumed a Yin Zhi Ge posture. It seemed that he did not intend to strike first, but wanted to wait for Uchiha Tokko to make the first move.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was not polite and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

This fire-type ninjutsu, which has been passed down from generation to generation by the Uchiha clan, has been restructured using fire-type chakra, and its power has increased to a higher level.

The huge fire dragon pounced on the waiting Hatake Sakumo with an irresistible force.
