The current high-level forces in Konoha can be said to be complicated or simple. Needless to say, Lei Luo, the contemporary Hokage, among the existing high-level forces, the focus is on Hyuga Tamaki, Uzumaki Makoto, Orochimaru, Namikaze Minato, and Nono Ukazu.
The major factions of Sarutobi's old tribe.
After so many years of development, the Intelligence Department has grown to more than a thousand people and is now the largest department in the village. Hyuga Tamaki's strength is only lower than Lei Luo's, and both its popularity and prestige are beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas.
And Uzumaki Makoto has more than 3,000 Uzumaki clan members. Although the power under his command can be expected to be reduced due to the peaceful evolution plan, he still has a strong appeal and power in the village as the leader of the Uzumaki clan for so many years.
In fact, the status is almost the same as Hyuga Ring.
Hinata Tamaki and Uzumaki Makoto can be said to be the two highest-ranking and most powerful executives in Konoha today besides Lei Luo.
And like Orochimaru who is in charge of the scientific research institute, Nono U who is nicknamed by the villagers as the leader of the Secretary Gang, Namikaze Minato, the new generation leader of Konoha, and the remaining Konoha Dove Faction members Tsunade and Jiraiya...
Although the above people each have their own irreplaceable side, in terms of power alone, they are definitely not as powerful as Hinata Tamaki and Uzumaki Makoto. At least, they cannot form a banner like these two people.
Therefore, although the two of them have no conflicts at all on weekdays, the people below do not think so. This is generally the essence of factional fighting, referred to as Shantouism.
Since Lei Luo targeted the ANBU, the ANBU members had gone elsewhere. Most of them were incorporated into the Intelligence Department, plus some former Ninja Army ninjas, most of the members of the Flying Thunder God Commando, and Hyuga Ring
The power in his hands is already quite terrifying.
And because Lei Luo himself was born as a civilian, his position is more inclined to civilian ninjas, so among the major ninja clans, whether they are those who have already stood in line, or those who have not stood in line, and are therefore severely suppressed...
All of them unanimously moved closer to Makoto Uzumaki, a close confidant of Lei Luo and the leader of the Great Ninja Clan, in order to convey their political demands to the Hokage through curves to save the country.
Uzumaki Makoto considered the stability of the village and that temporarily gaining the support of the ninja clan would undoubtedly increase his influence, so while strictly adhering to the position of the Hokage family, he selectively appealed to Lei on behalf of some aggrieved ninja clan.
Luo spoke up.
Relying on clever political methods, Uzumaki Makoto successfully found a balance between Lei Luo and the Ninja clan. He has done a lot of things and solved many thorny problems, which has made his reputation even higher in recent years.
Because Lei Luo is under pressure on weekdays, Konoha Village is peaceful and there has never been any scandal of power disputes, but this does not mean that the village is really as harmonious as it appears on the surface.
When the power increases to a certain extent, interest groups will form. This was the case with the Leiluo Group in the past, and it is also the case with the Hyuga Tamaki Group and the Uzumaki Makoto Group today.
Similarly, because the stalls of both parties are too big, there will always be various reasons that gradually highlight the conflicts between the two parties, and even intensify in the end.
After all, fundamentally speaking, Hyuga Tamaki is the practitioner of Lei Luo's will, and due to conflicts with the Hyuga clan in his early years, his position basically belongs to the civilian group, while Uzumaki Makoto is just the opposite.
It is normal to have contradictions and conflicts.
Intrigues, stumbling upon each other, and taking advantage of each other. Similar things often happen between the intelligence department and the ninja forces. Although the two leaders, Hyuga Tamaki and Uzumaki Makoto, are aware of this, they often tell their subordinates to exercise restraint, but how can there be so many people?
Can you keep an eye on it?
From this, extending from the bottom to the top, if Hinata Tamaki and Uzumaki Makoto still want to maintain their status and want to convince the public, they must speak up for their younger brother. Isn't this a contradiction?
All the above situations, whether it is Uzumaki Makoto or Hinata Tamaki, although these two Konoha bosses know everything, no one is willing to speak out about this kind of thing.
It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.
The hidden contradictions, subtle tacit understanding and balance, and the profound political game are seeking limited cooperation under the banner of Konoha. This is generally the interpretation of the relationship between Hyuga Tamaki and Uzumaki Makoto.
Looking at the two Susanoos still fighting in the distance, Hyuga Tamaki slowly exhaled a long breath, decided not to think about those mind-burning things, and decisively raised his wrist to look at his watch.
Time has passed ten minutes.
On the other side, he noticed that the battlefield of Uchiha Yu and Fugaku was gradually surrounded by the Uchiha tribesmen who came over. Hearing the panicked shouts, Uzumaki Makoto raised his eyebrows slightly and took the initiative to break the silence:
"Tamaki, there are more and more Uchiha people, are you sure we don't intervene earlier?"
When he said this, Uzumaki Makoto's eyes were calm and his tone was relaxed and natural, as if he was not affected by the previous verbal exchange between the two parties at all. Hinata Tamaki also replied in a low voice without changing his expression:
"Lei Luo's idea is to let Uchiha Fugaku handle the mess in their clan by himself. This is a test for him, the leader of the Uchiha clan, and the two of us are just the last insurance to prevent the situation from getting out of control."
"As for those Uchiha tribesmen, don't pay attention. I have already arranged the manpower. As long as Uchiha Fugaku wins, then he is just. Uchiha Yu will be executed as a spy who collaborated with the enemy."
Glancing at the orange Susan who was suppressed by the black Susan, Uzumaki Makoto showed a smile on his lips, pointed in the direction of the battlefield, and then said:
"But if we don't take action, Uchiha Fugaku will be beaten to death by Uchiha Yu. Is Lei Luo willing to see this happen?"
Perhaps because he felt that what Uzumaki Cheng said was reasonable, Hinata Huan carefully observed the battlefield situation for a moment, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and unconsciously pursed his lips:
"You are right. To prevent accidents, let's move another hundred meters forward. If Uchiha Fugaku is really in danger, we will take action decisively and kill Uchiha Fugaku directly."
Noticing that Hinata Tamaki's expression was a little gloomy, Uzumaki Makoto knew that it was a bad idea for the two of them to take action and rashly interfere in Uchiha's internal affairs. It was normal for the other party to have concerns.
"Then you have to take it easy. If Uchiha Fugaku is slaughtered by Uchiha Yu in front of everyone, then we will be passive in whatever we want to do next."
"Especially, your kaleidoscope."
After a few gentle reminders, during which he emphasized the words "your kaleidoscope", Uzumaki Makoto said no more, and saw him leaping off the roof in a few steps, and then in mid-air
A sudden movement.
Then, as if being dragged by something, Uzumaki Makoto quickly passed between the houses, and finally stopped at the top of a big tree about a hundred meters away from the battlefield, and waved his hand in the direction of Hinata Ring
.
Immediately afterwards, no one knew what technique was used, Uzumaki Makoto's figure quickly dimmed until he disappeared. He had obviously entered some kind of invisibility state.
Seeing this situation, Hinata Huan no longer hesitated, and quickly rose up to the sky, hiding in the sky above tens of meters, looking down at the battlefield from above, waiting for the opportunity to take action.
The Intelligence Department is actually aware of a series of actions of the Uchiha clan, including Fugaku. According to the instructions Lei Luo left before leaving, Hinata Tamaki and Uzumaki Makoto appeared here today to ensure that no accidents occurred.
The plan for peaceful evolution must be pushed forward.
Although the process sometimes doesn't seem so peaceful.
