Konoha 41 years, June 1.
Monthly routine Jonin Meeting.
As a regular meeting, more than fifty Jonin attended this time...
This is the monthly ninja meeting with the largest number of participants since the outbreak of the five-year war!
It is said that at the very least, in addition to Hokage and Hokage Advisor, only three Jonin participated - Akaseki said that they might as well find a task to go out... It is too difficult for so many leaders to "specially" hold regular meetings for themselves...
After all, during the war, most of the Jonin were on the front line or other security fronts, and a small number of them went to perform "missions that had to be completed." Jonin in the village were also on duty... Of course not many people could participate in the end.
Before the war, the official Jonin with voting rights on Jonin Meeting was only about a hundred people, and most of the time it was less than a hundred people.
Five years have passed. One-third of Konoha Ninja, who was officially Jonin before the war, died in the battle. However, because there are more newly nominated Jonin, the number has expanded to more than one hundred and fifty...
Now because the Sunagakure front has relaxed a lot, one-third of the Jonin have come to participate in this Jonin Meeting.
But Akaseki noticed at a glance that Hatake Sakumo didn't come..."
It seems that his "no longer wanting to be a ninja" is really more than just words.
Including Jiancheng and Akaseki, four official Jonin of the Uchiha Clan were present, all with serious faces at this time...
Before the meeting, Jonin, Ranwu and Minato from the Yamanaka Clan came over to say hello to the Uchiha Clan. When Yamanaka Sansan came, except for Akaseki, the other three people just nodded slightly, acting like they were self-assertive.
"Uchiha Clan Head is there... a speech today?" Yamanaka Sansan asked after hesitating.
"San San Jonin Don't worry, we have prepared the manuscript." Akaseki did not explain.
But it was indeed "we" who prepared it...
It was even mainly prepared by Akaseki!
Minato came over to say hello, but except for Akaseki, everyone else ignored him - he was just a common man who liked to show off!
Ranwu Come here...
He only said hello to Akaseki, but the other three people smiled and took the initiative to express some concern, which made Ranwu tremble.
Wangjie Chouzhen's suicide has been brewing in the village for the past half month, and everyone is waiting to see the result - although there is a reason for the incident, we can't just let it go, right?
Tenten said Will of Fire, if there is no explanation for the death of his companions from the village due to verbal violence, it will obviously not be able to convince the public.
The result did not disappoint most people...
Some well-informed people have known for a long time that Kensho Uchiha will make a public review today.
Although some people feel that the punishment for the Uchiha Clan is not strong enough at all, but... most people also understand that in the final analysis, Wangjie Chouzhen committed suicide, and now that we are employing people, it cannot be more severe.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi presided over the meeting, he made a routine summary of the month and then named Kensho Uchiha...
"Just last month, Wangjie Jonin left us in a very regrettable way. He did not die on the battlefield or on the mission, but because of the criticism of his companions!
"In response to this vicious incident... please Clan Leader, Kensho Uchiha Elite Jonin of the Uchiha Clan, please say a few words." Sarutobi's words undoubtedly proved to everyone that "Uchiha Clan is to blame" is absolutely correct.
After hearing what Third said, it turned out that many Jonin focused their attention on the Uchiha Clan.
But...
I saw that Kensho Uchiha had no stage fright at this time. Earth Flow came to the podium, then cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, Lord Hokage has just said something about Wangjie Chouzhen. I will add a few simple words here."
Hiruzen Sarutobi:...
On how Uchiha Clan takes back the "initiative" in one sentence.
As soon as he said this, I knew he was being asked to make a self-examination, but I didn't know he thought he was Hiruzen Sarutobi's boss!
Then just listen to Kensho Uchiha's in-depth explanation of the dangers of public violence and the importance of how ninjas adjust their mentality.
After the speech, Jiancheng finally emphasized. "In the future, Konoha Military Police Force will learn lessons and more strictly implement the village rules and safeguard Will of Fire. We will not be limited by the rules and make it clear that verbal violence is also a crime..."
Everyone:...
Why doesn't it sound like a review?
It seems to be saying that in the future Konoha Military Police Force can directly punch those who gossip?
Oh, I did this before...
"There are also issues about the physical and mental health and mentality adjustment of ninjas... Now that the war has entered the final stage, some comrades in the village are not used to this sudden relaxation, and their mentality may change. We recommend that if you feel uncomfortable, you can go to Psychological Counseling, Yamanaka Clan's Medical Ninja will also provide Psychological Therapy, and when necessary... We Uchiha Clan are also willing to use Sharingan Genjutsu to help everyone!" Jiancheng continued to say sincerely.
Just after Jiancheng nodded to signal that he was done speaking, Uchiha Clan and the three Jonin present began to take the lead in applauding.
Yamanaka Clan The only one present, Jonin, hesitated and clapped his hands. When he saw him clapping, Akimichi Clan and Nara Clan's Jonin also followed suit.
Minato and Ranwu naturally also cheered...
Moreover, Uchiha Clan's applause would not stop, and he kept looking around the conference room, as if he was trying to count who was drumming fast and who was drumming slowly.
Gradually most of the people in the room began to applaud...
As if to celebrate Jiancheng "solving the problem".
Jiancheng also waved to everyone and walked off the podium.
Danzo wanted to stop him at this time, but was stopped by Sarutobi - just now Jiancheng has been emphasizing that there have been public violence incidents against former Jonin Commander in the village recently. This will be the focus of the investigation in the future. Now there are some clues. Those who incite violence are advised to stop at the cliff...
It's obviously a deliberate threat!
If you really hold on to him, I'm afraid Konoha Military Police Force will pull Root's ninja out.
The scene will only become more ugly then...
No one would doubt whether Uchiha Clan would dare to do such a thing as flipping the table.
Hiruzen Sarutobi later skipped this topic and instead talked about the progress made in the negotiations with Sunagakure over the past month...
Because of the death of Wangjie Chouzhen, it is not easy to emphasize Hokage Building now because the failure of the previous mission of White Fang had a negative impact on the negotiations.
After all...
Kensho Uchiha just emphasized that it was the violence of public opinion that harmed Wangjie Chouzhen. To emphasize this now, wouldn't it appear that Hokage Building is targeting Hatake Sakumo?
"But now Daimyo of the Land of Wind is still eager to develop Ruin in the southwest. I hope Konoha... will lend a helping hand again. If this task can be completed, it will play a vital role in the subsequent negotiations..." Sarutobi slipped the previous "failure" and directly talked about the following things.
"Lord Hokage, didn't you say that Ruin has self-destructed?" Ranwu was the first to raise his hand and asked.
"Well, that's what I said originally, but during this period Land of Wind found Rogue Ninja and turned Ruin back on." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.
"Rogue Ninja? Sealing Technique is so accomplished?" Yamanaka Sansan said in surprise.
"Lord Hokage, is there some conspiracy?" Nara Yuri also questioned at this time.
"This..." Sarutobi said, looking at Danzo.
Shimura Danzō at this time used the crutch in his hand to pause on the ground, and then said, "I have sent people to investigate this matter...
"To be precise, it's Daimyo of the Land of Wind. We invited two Rogue Ninjas. They are both Rogue Ninjas who work between Desert Nations in the southwest of the mainland. They are somewhat famous there, and they are both good at Sealing Technique."
After hearing what Shimura Danzō said, everyone understood that Root should have done some research beforehand.
And if you think about it carefully, it's actually not inexplicable!
In this area in the western part of the mainland, there are many ancient Sealing Technique that have survived, which are completely different from Konoha, or in other words, Sealing Technique from the Uzumaki Clan.
Sunagakure is also the first Dayin Village to have "Jinchuriki". Starting from Warring States Period, Sealing Technique here has been developed to the extent that it can utilize the power of Tailed Beast.
Therefore, it is not impossible that there are some powerful Sealing Technique inheritances among Rogue Ninja.
Moreover, the things left by Daimyo of the Land of Wind's ancestors should be more in line with Sealing Technique of this genre...
Even ninjas like Akaseki who understand the development of Sealing Technique understand that Sealing Technique of Konoha is actually fundamentally different from Sealing Technique of Desert Nations in the central and western parts of the mainland!
The two are not the same thing since Uchiha Hagoromo invented "Sealing Technique" - the Sealing Technique spread by Sunagakure existed before Hagoromo invented "Sealing Technique", and are older than the existence of ninjas.
Sealing Technique in other places basically developed from "Sealing Technique" created by Uchiha Hagoromo.
It is precisely because of such a big difference that the local "Rogue Ninja" is more professional and corresponds...
"Then what else are you asking us to do? Is there a conspiracy on Land of Wind's side?" Nara Jonin said worriedly.
Danzo shook his head at this time and said, "At present, it seems that those Rogue Ninja's combat power is insufficient, and there are some Guardian Puppets among Ruin... If If the delay continues, once the armistice is reached, it will be Sunagakure who will provide combat power... Unfortunately, Wangjie Jonin, who knows the place best, is already dead."
"Then... would you like to invite White Fang..." Yamanaka Sansan was hesitant at this time.
Hatake Sakumo has been completely decadent after what happened before, and if it is this mission, there will be additional pressure on him.
Although he has been there, it might not be a good idea to let him go again!
"Since you just lack combat power, you can leave this matter to us Uchiha Clan." Jiancheng took the initiative to say at this time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi has been singing along with Danzo since he mentioned this matter. Obviously, he originally wanted to leave it to the Uchiha Clan to solve it, which can be regarded as an exchange for not mentioning Wangjie anymore...
