That time and that moment

[Zhuwu Headquarters] After this condition is set, the only things that need to be discussed next are some trivial matters.

The people of Kirigakure have handed over the actual governance rights of Kirigakure Village, so what else can't be given up?

Measure Kirigakure's material resources and bring happiness to the country.

The first thing that Mai Uchiha did after taking office as the minister of the [Mirror Headquarters] was to appoint three deputy ministers: Kamine, Tetsuo, and Mei Terumi.

The dozens of tribesmen he brought with him when they came naturally stationed themselves in Kirigakure, and in the name of monitoring Kirigakure Village, they carried out the cunning rabbit's three burrows.

Then came the administrative department that directed Kirigakure to carry out post-disaster reconstruction work.

Dozens of Uchiha tribesmen did not participate in the reconstruction work. In the early days of ruling Kirigakure Village, they had to be more forceful and high-profile.

In this way, the positioning of the original Kirigakure people as "second-class citizens" can be consolidated, and when they win people's hearts in the future, the harvest will be even greater.

The suppression work in the first few days was actually not very smooth.

It's okay for wealthy families like Mizunazuki and Onito to be aware of Uchiha Mai's strength. It doesn't matter whoever is the leader of Kirigakure Village is a family with a strong dynasty.

The reaction from these wealthy families was not as big as expected. On the contrary, the resistance from the lower levels of Kirigakure and ordinary ninjas was greater than expected.

Things like attacking the troops stationed in the fog and assassinating Mai Uchiha happened at least five times a day.

Regarding this kind of incident that is not conducive to the unity of Mu and Mist, Uchiha Mai's attitude is 0 tolerance and must strike hard.

The elder Yuanshi, the Minazuki clan and other rebels who were the first to surrender were mobilized and formed a special operations force called the "Shinsengumi".

The main task of this force is to maintain law and order in Kirigakure Village and deal with the rebels who oppose [Mirror Headquarters].

This is to use barbarians to control barbarians.

Genshi and others are resisting. The condition for our surrender is that you don't kill the Kirigakure ninjas and find a way to survive by bypassing Kirigakure.

Now you not only want to kill people, but you also want to kill those of us who were the first to surrender. What's the point of this?

However, the resistance of Genshi and others was of no use. Uchiha Mai directly said: If you take action, you can only kill the first culprit. If the troops stationed in the fog take action, they will kill one clan or three clans.

When I do it myself, I will start by killing the five tribes.

Master Yuan and others obediently kept their mouths shut. In order to stop the losses as much as possible, they could only pick up the butcher knife and aim it at their own people.

After several days of continuous killings, Kirigakure Village was considered honest. Even the great men had surrendered to Mai Uchiha and became lackeys at his mercy.

You are just a genin and you only make a few dollars a month on a precarious basis. Why are you working so hard?

There is also a sense of honor for family and country... It has only been fifty years since Kirigakure was established. Why are you talking to me about this nonsense?

After a few days of this, Wuyin Village has initially stabilized.

Uchiha Mai then leisurely wrote a handwritten letter and sent someone to deliver it to the Iwagakure Front - the location of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The core content of the letter can be summarized in a nutshell: "The fog is hidden and deceitful, and it is a land of repeated twists and turns. The west wind and the north thunder cannot be suppressed by false shadows, and their momentum is uncertain. I wish to be false shadows."

In Chinese history, exactly similar cases have occurred.

After Han Xin's army captured the State of Qi, he asked Han King Liu Bang for the title of "Acting King of Qi" on the grounds that the State of Qi was overlapping and adjacent to the State of Chu in the south.

At that time, Liu Bang was besieged by the Chu army in Xingyang. Although he was furious after receiving Han Xin's letter, he had to agree to Han Xin's request to meet his urgent needs.

While conferring the title of King of Qi on the other party, he also ordered the other party to attack Chu State and "surround Wei and rescue Zhao".

This moment is exactly like that moment.

Although Han Xin's final outcome was not very good and he was settled by Liu Bangqiu, Uchiha Mai has 100% confidence and will not follow Han Xin's old path.

Iwagakure Front.

In the Hokage camp, after Hiruzen Sarutobi read the battle report sent by Mai Uchiha, his hands trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with anger and joy.

Uchiha Mai overfulfilled the task. The one-man division killed two Mizukage in a row, completely smashing the Kirigakure Village and making this land withdraw from the stage of the Third War.

This is a great blessing for Konoha, which is attacked from all sides.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Mai performed too well, and while destroying the Kirigakure Village, it also completely destroyed the Kirigakure Village.

As an outsider, he openly gained a position above Yu Mizukage.

Also [Kirigakure has repeatedly been cunning, and in order to frighten Kirigakure Village, he had to improvise, design a headquarters in Kirigakure, and temporarily serve as acting minister to handle the affairs of Kirigakure Village].

Pooh!

To put it bluntly, isn't it true that he wants the position of Mizukage of Kirigakure Village but is unwilling to give up the competition for Hokage? It's so sanctimonious.

You have already finished the matter before "asking for instructions" from me, and [the Hokage can abolish this department at any time if he thinks it is inappropriate], can I withdraw?

I'm afraid if my order to dismantle [Garrison Headquarters] is conveyed, you will immediately lead an army to counterattack Konoha, right?

Even if he cares a little about his past feelings and does not attack Konoha but turns a blind eye to Konoha's current predicament, it is enough for Konoha to drink a pot.

Nominally, this is a request for instructions from a subordinate to a superior. In fact, it is a "letter of credence" for the people who are in charge of the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could only grit his teeth and admit it, admitting the legitimacy of the [Gardening Mist Headquarters].

Then an order was sent to Konoha to let Tsunade and others know and approve the matter. At the same time, a Hokage order was issued, ordering Mai Uchiha to attack the rear of Sunagakure Village.

Currently, there are actually two Hokages in Konoha. The official Hokage is fighting on the front lines to fight against Iwagakure, while the acting Hokage Tsunade is "supervising the country" at the rear.

Tsunade has the power to handle almost everything, otherwise her role as acting Hokage would be meaningless.

But except for this matter, [Gardening Kirigakure Headquarters] is too involved, and Uchiha Mai has actually obtained the right to rule Kirigakure Village.

If only Sarutobi Hiruzen or Tsunade knew about it and approved it, there would be flaws in the procedure, which would affect the legitimacy of [Gardening Mist Headquarters].

Therefore, Uchiha Mai is the document sent to Sarutobi Hiruzen, not Konoha.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to settle the score after the fall, he could just accept it and abolish this department afterwards on the grounds that "the station headquarters was established at a special time and without the permission of the acting Hokage Tsunade".

Vice versa, if Tsunade only agreed, Sarutobi Hiruzen's reason could be replaced by "I didn't agree at the time."

Such a detail that is not considered a detail, Sarutobi Hiruzen can think of it, and Uchiha Mai can naturally think of it.

The most important thing right now is to let Mai Uchiha take action to solve Konoha's urgent needs. There is no point in leaving some back-ups that will most likely not be used in the future.

Konoha.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade was shocked after receiving the order from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The boy who he had watched grow up and who was now about the same height as himself actually single-handedly captured the Kirigakure Village and actually gained the position of Mizukage.

This is something that even my grandfather could not do back then.

Of course, it's not that Senju Hashirama doesn't have that strength, but that he has different ideas from Uchiha Mai and Uchiha Madara.

Many times, Tsunade also thought about whether her uncle was right or wrong when he created the ninja village system.

If he and Madara Uchiha teamed up to completely pacify the ninja world, "sweeping across the world and swallowing up the eight wastelands" instead of "nine princes and lords conquering the world", wouldn't there be so much nonsense?

Now Uchiha Mai has embarked on a completely different path from Senju Hashirama: if he can become Hokage in the future, it will be equivalent to managing two ninja villages by one person.

Now that two ninja villages have been captured, is it still far away to pacify the ninja world and unify the five ninja villages?

Tsunade didn't know whether Uchiha Mai could succeed, but she knew that Senju Hashirama failed, and the ninja village system could not save the ninja world.

Just when Tsunade was about to affix her seal to the letter of appointment, she encountered strong opposition from Koharu, who had moved to bed.

"Not allowed, absolutely not allowed!"

After going to bed, Koharu threw Sarutobi Hiruzen's autographed letter on the table and said angrily: "What does Mai Uchiha think of Konoha?

When he just graduated from the ninja school, he joined the elite team led by Minato.

If it weren't for Hiruzen's instruction, just based on his Uchiha clan background, it would be simply wishful thinking to want to integrate into the Hokage clan.

In the following years, Hiruzen saw that he was a talented person and gave him every opportunity, thus cultivating him into a first-class strongman in the ninja world.

Now, not only is he ungrateful, but he also went to Kirigakure Village to work as a Mizukage. What is the reason for this?"

In the conference room, Fugaku frowned slightly when he heard this.

What does "just because of his Uchiha clan origin" mean? Could it be that Uchiha, a surname that is extremely noble in the ninja world, is not easy to use in Konoha?

Tsunade looked at Fugaku's expression and knew something was wrong.

Fugaku had been working under Sarutobi Hiruzen for many years, and he had always been careful and good at managing his expressions. He would flatter him when he needed to, and he would not be vague when he needed to be aloof.

Such an obvious frown was enough to show that he was quite dissatisfied with what Xiaochun said when he went to bed.

Within a force, positions can be appointed at will, but the authority is fixed. After the rise of the new elite, they will inevitably squeeze out and occupy the power and status of the old force.

When the champion was promoted to General of Hussars, the Huo Party under his command was also generously rewarded, and all the officials in the imperial court took refuge, severely squeezing the power of the SS under Wei Qing.

This is true for uncles and nephews, not to mention the relationship between Uchiha Mai, Koharu and others.

Once the legitimacy of this [Mirror Headquarters] is established, Uchiha Mai can become Konoha's veritable second-in-command.

The ANBU chief and the Hokage's advisor are all idiots. After all, no matter how high-ranking you are, you still have to eat from the pot of Konoha. It all depends on the Hokage's face.

And Uchiha Mai has his back to Kirigakure Village, let alone the Hokage's face, even the Hokage will have to look at his face when the time comes.

In addition, as disciples and students of Senju Tobirama, Koharu, Mito Kadeni, Danzo and others were deeply influenced by Senju Tobirama, and the Uchiha threat theory has been deeply ingrained in their hearts.

"Rehired to Elder Koharu, Mai's specific position is the head of the [Konoha's Kirigakure Village First Affairs Processing and Decision-making General Office], not the Mizukage."
