Konoha Year 42, May.
Konoha has been going very smoothly this month.
Elders' Council's responsibilities were gradually fully implemented. After several runs-in, there was no tension at the beginning.
The Root incident that caused uproar in the village last month gradually calmed down on the surface as the results of the investigation were made public step by step.
Root's original responsibilities, including all non-confidential aspects, were transferred to Konoha Military Police Force.
The confidential part was also disclosed in Elders' Council. Under the witness of eight Elder, it was either transferred back to Anbu or destroyed and canceled.
Although they did not disclose this in front of all Jonin, after this incident, two Elders, Namiashi and Hyuga, also changed to insisting on tracking down all Root hidden members, making everyone understand that there are many things in Root's "hidden mission"...
In addition, Iwagakure, in the face of Konoha's increasingly aggressive attacks, completely gave up his illusions and admitted to Konoha Peace Negotiations that Kannabi Bridge belongs to Land of Grass and is actually controlled by Konoha, and has also made compensation for the damage caused to Konoha during the previous sneak attack.
Especially...
In some areas southeast of Land of Earth, mission rights will be opened to Konoha.
For Iwagakure, who didn't have much trouble and just didn't want to fight, Konoha didn't dare to propose a "commission plan" and just accepted the old-fashioned cession of task rights...
In fact, the open area only occupies a very small part of Land of Earth, which is close to Land of Grass.
No amount of Ōnoki will agree...
Ōnoki also understands that Konoha is now alert and will not be fooled so easily - as long as the mission authority is opened, they will definitely investigate Land of Earth's situation when they come and prepare for future wars.
Just...
This time Iwagakure lost a hand, so Ōnoki will recognize the "advantage" of Konoha. Otherwise, if we continue to fight, Iwagakure's capital will be even less when the war restarts.
On May 30, Konoha officially signed an armistice agreement with Iwagakure.
At this point, there is no longer an ongoing war between Konoha and all hidden villages.
Five and a half years have passed since the official declaration of war on Land of Rain...
"Shimura Danzō, that old fox, he really survived... Orochimaru's method should have been used obviously!" Jiancheng said helplessly.
Who said "Impure World Reincarnation" is harmful to Tianhe? I think this "Impure World Reincarnation" is great!
At this time, there were only Akaseki and Chizuru in front of him.
If other Clan Elder were present, they would definitely denounce Hiruzen Sarutobi one after another, and even come up with all kinds of outrageous ideas.
But now this is Jiancheng asking Akaseki and Chizuru for "internal discussion", and he didn't even bring his son-in-law with him!
This is also something that has just been finalized at the Elders' Council meeting.
From now on, there will be a routine Elders' Council meeting on the last day of the month, that is, the day before Jonin Meeting. In theory, everything to be discussed at the Jonin Meeting meeting must be discussed first at the Elders' Council meeting.
Today's meeting mainly talked about the further processing of Root.
Regarding the issue of "handling Root", the parts that are easier to reach consensus have basically been advanced. The next step is the Elders' Council discussion, where the conflicts between the parties are relatively large.
"That Shimura Danzō really insists on not unlocking all Sealing of Root?" Akaseki also sneered.
"That's right, and... Namiashi and I were the only ones who objected. That guy Orochimaru also abstained from voting, and now it has passed." Jiancheng was also very angry when he mentioned it.
"If it's just you and Namiashi, it's useless for Orochimaru to object. It's better to abstain." Chizuru said fairly on behalf of Orochimaru.
"The momentum is still different!" Jiancheng said harshly.
Objection invalid?
We must oppose even if our opposition is ineffective. What we need is this momentum!
Regarding the support of other Elder, Akaseki can also understand it.
The reason given by Shimura Danzō is that if Root's Sealing Technique needs to be released, it can only be released from his "terminal", not for everyone. In other words... it can only be released together - this is the new Sealing Technique developed by Shimura Danzō after Yakushi Nonō's incident.
However, there is a problem...
Due to the nature of Root's previous organization, its ordinary members also generally have some sensitive information. To a certain extent, the intelligence of ordinary members of Root is more sensitive than that of Dan Katō who previously defected.
Not to mention the core personnel. After all, Danzo wanted to do "secret things" for Konoha from the very beginning.
In other words, once Sealing and Konoha are released, a lot of information will no longer be guaranteed.
At the same time, Danzo also wisely did not blindly rely on Sealing to "play rogue", but stated that he would also transfer this Sealing to Anbu, so that Anbu can continue to control the remnants of Root.
"The review results of Root members are almost completed, right?" Chizuru asked at this time.
"It's almost... but it's just a preliminary review!" Jiancheng said confidently.
Obviously he is prepared to bully these people for the rest of his life...
It is true that among the review results, there are some Root personnel who have no actual charges and can at best be regarded as "knowing but not reporting". No matter Hokage Building or Elders' Council, the opinion of these people is not to pursue too much.
After all, many people were selected into Root, which was not voluntary in the first place.
These people are also the focus of the Sealing problem that cannot be solved - neither can they all be released from confidentiality Sealing, nor can they all be killed or imprisoned...
Chizuru also shook his head and said, "As long as those core personnel are convicted, you have already killed many core members of Root on the day you started."
Hearing Chizuru Clan Elder say the same thing, Jiancheng reluctantly accepted it.
After this time, the backbone of Root was basically wiped out. The real core members were basically either tricked by the Uchiha Clan on the day of the conflict, or were sentenced for being involved in the case. Moreover, with the transfer of control ability of Sealing, Root can be regarded as completely broken up.
However, in this way, Shimura Danzō is getting further and further away from "execution".
On the one hand, assisting in dealing with Root can be regarded as his meritorious service; on the other hand, Sealing Technique in Root also needs him to maintain.
Akaseki has now accepted the result...
After all, Elders' Council was established, and Konoha Military Police Force was also allocated enough power. This originally implied an exchange.
If I really want to kill Danzo, that Hiruzen Sarutobi will not be as easy to talk to as he is now. He has endured it for a month and has given me the benefits he deserves. If he suddenly puts on his pants and refuses to admit his debt, I am afraid he will really get angry.
Jiancheng It's not that I don't understand, I'm just pretending not to know and want to see if I can "advance".
But since both Akaseki and Chizuru said so, Jiancheng accepted it.
"Now that Konoha Military Police Force's powers and responsibilities have greatly increased...Clan Leader, if it continues to have the current scale, it may not be enough to cope with it, right?" Akaseki reminded.
Some of the powers that were taken back were given by Root from Konoha Military Police Force and are now recovered, and some were transferred by Hiruzen Sarutobi from Anbu, or even specially set up for Root, and are now taken over by Konoha Military Police Force.
After all, the reason why Root was established in the first place was essentially because Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had just become Hokage, was not comfortable with Anbu, which was created by Second.
Now that Konoha Military Police Force's powers and responsibilities have greatly increased, manpower is indeed stretched...
"So..." Jiancheng's face became serious, and he looked at Akaseki seriously. "I am going to urge the young people in the clan to get married and have children earlier and faster!"
Akaseki:...
"No matter how fast we go, it's too late to survive now!" Akaseki was speechless - what kind of self-reliance is this?
Jiancheng spread his hands and said, "That Hiruzen Sarutobi wants to change the admission and graduation standards of the Ninja Academy back. In a short period of time, there are no more ninjas if you want. Now there is not even a Uchiha Clan in the sixth grade, and there is only one in the fifth grade..."
If the graduation conditions are restored, that is to say, there is no extreme situation and there is no such thing as "skipping a grade".
In other words, only one Uchiha Clan can graduate within two years!
The reason why the number is so small is normal...
After all, early graduation was encouraged before!
If any Uchiha Clan is still in school in the sixth grade, without anyone saying anything, the Uchiha Clan clan will start bullying him!
Therefore, there is not a single Uchiha Clan in the entire sixth grade. The only remaining student in the fifth grade failed to graduate early two months ago due to various coincidences.
Even so...
He was also ridiculed for a long time by his fellow tribesmen!
"There is no new Uchiha Clan Genin, we can still look for it from outside!" Akaseki pierced the window paper.
Jiancheng is not mentally retarded, so of course he thought of this method.
But when I thought about it, Jiancheng said no in my heart...
After all, Konoha Military Police Force is now the base camp of the Uchiha Clan, and it is also the symbol of the Uchiha Clan's glory and majesty!
If outsiders come in, everyone will not feel comfortable.
Not only does Uchiha Clan have to adapt to the sudden extra "colleagues", but if other ninjas join Konoha Military Police Force, they may also have to feel the Uchiha Clan-style "care"!
"Looking outside? But..." Jiancheng sighed, obviously not optimistic about this method.
"Jiancheng, what Konoha Military Police Force has taken over from Root is not only power, but also responsibility... If we don't do well, not only will we be taken away, but we Uchiha Clan will also lose face!" Chizuru persuaded with earnest words.
"Then... how about gradually announcing the recovery of Clan Elder and Sharingan?" Jiancheng was looking forward to it.
Akaseki, Chizuru:...
"What does it have to do with Clan Elder? It's not a matter of missing a few masters, it's a matter of lacking a large number of hardcore ninjas." Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
The two of them also knew that Jiancheng Clan Leader couldn't bear the loneliness, and his desire to make a table with Hiruzen Sarutobi was almost unbearable.
"Clan Leader, first accept some other ninjas to join. Konoha Military Police Force is also our Uchiha Clan's decision. We can even detach the team internally first. You can put things that you don't want outsiders to interfere with in the internal department, isolate the internal and external departments in business, and then gradually accept some credible ninjas in the external department..."
Akaseki has long wanted to break the shackles of Konoha Military Police Force on the Uchiha Clan. However, there was too much resistance before and there was a lot of opposition when it was raised. Now that the powers and responsibilities have been greatly increased, it has given Akaseki a chance...
