Chapter 21
Baiwu Town, the main reason why there are so many ninja clans and ninja clan branches here is that the geographical location here is very special.
Not only is the land fertile, but it is also close to the sea and rich in aquatic products.
In addition, there are three mineral veins nearby.
An iron mine, a silver mine, and a special mine containing a small amount of chakra metal.
Iron ore is the main material for making various ninja tools;
Silver mines represent wealth;
And chakra metal is a scarce material that improves the combat effectiveness of ninjas;
As these three mines are in the territory of the Uchiha clan, they naturally want to monopolize them.
However, the geographical location here is too special, and it can be described as a mixture of good and bad. Even if the Uchiha completely controls this place in a short time, it will not be able to develop resources here with peace of mind due to threats from all sides.
Therefore, the Uchiha can only settle for the second best and make this an area where many ninja clans coexist.
As the manager of this area, the Uchiha only needs to supervise and manage here, and collect the mining materials on time every month.
Simply put, the Uchiha eats meat and lets other ninjas drink soup.
However, it is not so easy for the Uchiha to completely eat this piece of meat.
Among them, the Hyuga clan has a branch stationed here, and it came earlier than the Uchiha clan.
Although the overall strength of the Hyuga clan is not as good as that of the Uchiha clan, it is not comparable to other ninja clans.
If the Uchiha clan uses the power of the entire clan, it may really be able to completely destroy the Hyuga clan, but in that case, it will cause the Uchiha clan to be seriously injured and no longer have the ability to face the covetous eyes of the Senju clan.
The Senju clan also has such concerns.
This is like the Three Kingdoms in the Warring States Period. The Uchiha clan and the Senju clan are evenly matched, and the Hyuga clan is indeed like a stubborn fence-sitter.
The only possibility is that the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan cooperate to destroy this wavering ninja clan together.
However, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have been enemies for hundreds of years and it is impossible for them to join forces.
The Senju and Uchiha clans have been suppressing and winning over the Hyuga clan in secret for so many years, but the Hyuga clan is a complete mess. They don't break up with either side, but they don't really make friends with either side.
And this situation is maintained by the Hyuga clan secretly, and the Hyuga clan has continued so tenaciously.
After listening to the situation of the Hyuga clan, Uchiha Yu combined the original work and suddenly found that the Hyuga clan was not simple.
In later generations, the ninja clans in the Warring States period basically disappeared in the long river of history. Only the Hyuga clan stubbornly stood up to the end and became the first family of the Land of Fire.
Even in the next era of ninjas, the Hyuga clan survived to the first family in the ninja world.
A simple fence-sitter would never survive that long.
And this time, the Uchiha clan asked for help, apparently because they found a large number of ninjas from overseas gathering, and they seemed to want to occupy the mines owned by the Uchiha clan.
In fact, the Uchiha added manpower to prevent other ninjas in Baiwu Town from making any small moves in secret.
Especially the Hyuga clan.
Because according to some intelligence, the Hyuga clan had frequent personnel transfers some time ago.
Although I don’t know the specific situation, as an understanding of the Hyuga clan, Uchiha feels that it has to be guarded.
The profession of ninja is not quite the same as the anime that Uchiha Yu watched in his previous life. The reason why he has the instantaneous combat power of a jonin, even comparable to that of an elite jonin, is that he is not very sure to face opponents who are much higher than himself. The main reason is the fighting style of ninjas.
The biggest rule of the ninja profession is that there are no rules.
Sneak attacks, hidden weapons, assassinations, poisoning, traps~
These methods that are called insidious and rotten in some martial arts worlds are the norm here.
The Naruto I saw in my previous life was just the ninja world seen from the perspective of a hot-blooded and brainless boy. His fighting style is to use a terrifying amount of chakra to push and fight.
In real ninja battles, most of the above-mentioned "low-class" ones are the mainstream, and when fighting, it is not that two people stand there and declare war, then fight for hundreds of rounds, and finally someone loses and dies.
The fight between life and death is often a group of ninjas ambush one or some ninjas, arrange everything, and then attack and concentrate fire at a certain moment;
Or some ninjas, when they find another group of ninjas ambushing, either retreat decisively or use the opponent's trick to kill the opponent;
Now Uchiha Yu, except for his extraordinary instantaneous combat power, is very lacking in lurking, hidden weapons, assassination, poisoning, traps, etc.
At the same time, his combat awareness is still insufficient.Although the family rated him as a special jonin based on his performance, because of those shortcomings, he rated his overall strength as a mere chunin. ,
Moreover, he thought this was already very high.
This was the position he had the confidence to give himself after continuous special training and hard work during this period.
Therefore, he was sent by Uchiha Tajima to do the mission with Madara this time, and he felt that his strength was not suitable.
He thought about refusing, but unfortunately he was rejected by Uchiha Tajima, and the look in Uchiha Tajima's eyes at that time was very strange.
The refusal was fruitless, and Uchiha Yu could only bite the bullet and come with Madara.
However, for safety, he decided to listen to everyone's arrangements throughout the process and be an unknown little transparent.
However, after listening to Captain Uchiha Jing's series of intelligence analysis, he originally planned to go back after completing the mission, but he had more worries.
He asked unconsciously: "Captain Jing, I have some doubts, I wonder if you can answer them for me?"
"Oh, Yu, is there anything you want to ask?"
Although Uchiha Jing was a little surprised by Uchiha Yu's question, he did not show any dissatisfaction because of Uchiha Yu's performance before. Instead, he expected Uchiha Yu to ask some simple questions, so that his answer would better reflect his thoughts on giving advice to the younger generation.
"Captain Jing, what is your specific identity in Baiwu Town?"
"I am the captain of the Uchiha branch stationed in Baiwu Town, and I am also the current mayor of Baiwu Town."
"Then, as the mayor, how much authority do you have?"
"Authority? The authority of the mayor is determined by the clan. We Uchiha have the power to mediate internal disputes in Baiwu Town, the power to collect rent and taxes here, and the power to urgently recruit ninjas when combat power is needed."
"Is that so? Then, who owns the three mines?"
"The three mines are shared by all ninja clans, mined together, and shared together. However, we Uchiha occupy 50% of them, and other ninja clans share the other 50% together."
