Chapter 125 I want to kill the Daimyo! Who agrees? Who opposes?
"Master Daimyo, you must make the decision for us!"
Daimyofu, the Land of Grass.
Several grass ninjas cried and complained about Konoha's brutality and shamelessness.
"They brutally killed the leader and even spared the innocent ninjas in the village. Now the Kusagakure Village is in chaos. Daimyo, they don't take you seriously at all!"
Knowing that it is impossible for them to avenge their leader on their own, the Grass Ninja placed their last hope on the Daimyo of the Grass Country.
Although the daimyo has no military power, he is the most honorable person in the Land of Grass.
If the Daimyo was willing to put pressure on Konoha, perhaps he could get justice for the dead leader.
The Daimyo of the Land of Grass fanned himself with a folding fan, and his eyes gradually narrowed into slits.
Konoha's actions this time were a bit too much.
Not only did he break into the Kusagakure Village without permission and abduct the Kusagakure Village ninjas, he even killed the leader of the Kusagakure Village whom he had appointed.
You have to know that the leader of Kusagakure Village has a status equivalent to the Kage of the five major villages.
This kind of thing is enough to cause a major diplomatic incident.
"What is the Fire Country Daimyo doing? Konoha has been making so much noise lately, but there's no reaction at all?"
The Daimyo of the Grass Country found this quite absurd.
If he were the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he would be so angry that his face would turn green after learning about Konoha's recent actions!
Not to mention anything else, the recent uproar over the collection of refugees has caused quite a stir.
Based on his understanding of the Fire Country Daimyo, how could the other party tolerate these dirty refugees running into the country they rule?
These lowly bitches, die wherever they want!
Never tarnish your own country!
"It seems necessary to go to the Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion."
The Daimyo of the Land of Grass covered the lower half of his face with a folding fan and narrowed his eyes as he made his decision.
He wanted to go and see for himself whether the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was confused and was the reason why he allowed Konoha to do so much.
What the Daimyo of the Grass Country didn't know was that as he was preparing to set off for the Fire Country, the Daimyo's mansion in the Fire Country was experiencing an unprecedented chaos.
"Daimyo! Where is the Daimyo? We want to see the Daimyo!"
"Is the Daimyo confused? Turning a blind eye to Konoha's transgressions?"
"Where is the Daimyo! Where is the Daimyo-sama?"
A group of nobles in gorgeous clothes were angrily surrounding the entrance of Daming Mansion. They were very emotional and had completely lost their usual aristocratic elegance.
At this moment, they are more like a group of shrews, with a lot of resentment in their hearts.
Konoha's various actions have violated their interests many times.
First, hybrid rice and experimental fields caused Konoha to occupy a large part of the food resources that were originally firmly controlled by these nobles.
Under the impact of hybrid rice, many nobles who had grain industries under their command suffered heavy losses.
However, the daimyo seemed to turn a blind eye to all this.
There is none of the toughness of the past.
That time, they endured it.
And now, they suddenly start to accept refugees on a large scale, calling it humanitarianism!
What kind of humanity is this!
They, the nobles, are the masters of the Fire Nation.
Konoha is, at best, a military force that they paid to maintain.
It would be fine if they just fought during the war, but now they have crossed the line into their own affairs!
"We must find the Daimyo! Konoha is already riding on our heads, what is the Daimyo doing?"
As more and more nobles gathered outside the daimyo, the stationed samurai were unable to cope with the situation and found it difficult to maintain order.
In the daimyo's mansion, on the upper floor of the pavilion, Kakashi, wearing a mask, looked down at the scene indifferently.
Konoha has made too many big moves recently, and illusion control alone is no longer able to suppress the anger of these nobles.
The nobles, led by the daimyo, have become Konoha's biggest obstacle.
Kakashi could foresee the decision that the Fifth Hokage would make after learning what happened here.
"Is it coming? Change..."
There was a fire in his eyes.
……
Konoha Village.
Hokage room.
Namikaze Mirai, who was handling official business, suddenly received an urgent important document. Her brows were slightly furrowed.
This expedited scroll is only used in the most urgent moments.
What could it be?
He opened the scroll, and when he saw its contents, his eyes narrowed slightly.
What was recorded in the scroll was exactly what Kakashi saw and heard in the Daimyo's mansion.
The furious nobles have surrounded the daimyo's mansion, demanding a reasonable explanation for Konoha's indulgence.
"It seems that using illusion to control the daimyo is not a long-term solution after all."
Namikaze Mirai put down the scroll in her hand.
There was a faint smile in his blue eyes.
He had naturally anticipated this kind of thing, but it happened faster than he expected.
"Looks like it's time."
His eyes were cold.
"Eliminate the daimyo from the stage of history."
……
The meeting room on the third floor of the Hokage Room.
The Konoha high-level officials and the heads of the major ninja clans who were invited gathered in this conference room, looking confused.
"Why did Hokage-sama summon us here so urgently?"
"I don't know, it should be something very important, right?"
These high-ranking officials in Konoha were completely confused at the moment and had no idea what was going on.
This kind of example of bringing all of them together without any warning seemed to have never happened before.
At the conference table, Orochimaru was the only one who was thinking secretly.
I vaguely guessed something.
"Everyone..."
Sitting at the top of the conference table, Namikaze Mirai looked around at the ninjas at the long table with her deep blue eyes.
“A change is coming.”
change???
The ninjas around the conference table looked at each other, either in surprise or confusion. What was the change that the Hokage was talking about?
Among the crowd, only Orochimaru had a strong trembling and heat in his snake eyes.
My heart is beating so fast!
Could it be that in the future you will...
"Don't you think that the daimyo is too much of a hindrance?"
Namikaze Mirai smiled slightly.
Big name? In the way?
The conference room fell into deathly silence.
"In the future, do you want to..."
Uchiha Fugaku asked with his pupils trembling slightly.
"Yes."
Namikaze Mirai groaned.
"The era of daimyo and nobles has lasted too long. I am tired of such a static world. This world should usher in new changes."
Dead!
Absolute silence.
The ninjas around the conference table looked at Namikaze Mirai with shocked and disbelieving eyes.
Namikaze Mirai, are you going to kill the Daimyo?
"Hokage-sama, the one country, one village system was established by the first Hokage. Isn't it too hasty to break it like this?"
"Times have changed!"
Namikaze Mirai glanced around and the voice spread out.
"If you continue to view the world with the past mindset, you will be eliminated by the times. Aren't you looking forward to a brand new Fire Nation, a Fire Nation that integrates military and politics?"
"Tell me your choice!"
"Who's for? Who's against?"
