The Daimyo of the Land of Fire roared in the room.
The attendant beside him broke out in a cold sweat. Amidst the Daimyo's roaring, the attendant quickly left the room without stopping, as if there were some fierce beasts behind him.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger; this saying is absolutely true.
And soon, with the attendant rushing at full speed, the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire, who received the edict, hurriedly arrived at the Daimyo's bedroom.
The attendant led the Lord Elder to the door of the bedroom. Before the two entered, a huge noise came from inside.
Obviously, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was not in a good mood at the moment.
"Lord Elder, please enter. I will wait outside and await instructions at any time."
"En, thank you for your hard work."
The attendant's tone was faint.
He stopped decisively, not intending to go in together, choosing to hide at this time.
The Lord Elder's expression was as usual, knowing the attendant's petty thoughts clearly, but he still showed a slight smile to the attendant and said a comforting word.
Logically speaking, with the identity of the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire, holding a high position and heavy power, one person below one and above ten thousand, he didn't need to show any favor to the attendant.
But he never underestimated this group of attendants.
As the saying goes, a seventh-grade official in front of the prime minister's door.
Sometimes, just a casual sentence from this group of attendants can change the Daimyo's mind and then indirectly affect the court.
Even sometimes, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire needs to indirectly express his stance to the outside world through this group of attendants, so that the ministers can guess the Daimyo's intentions according to the attendant's tone, help the Daimyo say what he cannot say, and do things he cannot do himself.
If he offended this group of attendants... once they put eye drops on him at a critical moment in the future, the taste would not be pleasant.
The attendant nodded, looked at the Lord Elder with slight gratitude, reached out and pushed the door open.
Subsequently, the Lord Elder took a deep breath and stepped into the Daimyo's bedroom.
As soon as he entered.
He saw the Daimyo of the Land of Fire disheveled, pacing barefoot on the ground. Wherever he passed, it was a mess. He was just swinging his precious sword in the room.
Many treasures worth thousands of gold in the room had been chopped into scrap.
The Lord Elder dared not approach at this time. People in a state of emotional loss are extremely prone to causing accidental injury.
He didn't want to be accidentally cut by the Daimyo.
"Who!!"
"Your Highness..."
Hearing the Lord Elder's familiar voice.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire turned around. His cheeks were flushed, and his emotions looked extremely agitated.
"Lord Elder, tell me, who is in charge of this Land of Fire!"
"Tell me, how do I treat that group of ninjas? I give them money, give them tasks, why do they still rebel against me!"
"If this goes on, will this Land of Fire one day be ruled by that group of ninjas!!"
"This... Your Highness..."
The Daimyo's words were heartbreaking, and even the Lord Elder dared not answer casually.
Will the ninja village take action against the Land of Fire?
At least for now, looking at the overall situation, reviewing the past and present, considering the average level of various departments, analyzing and summarizing, perhaps it can be considered that, in summary, generally speaking, although it may not be pleasant to hear, in any case, the prospect is probably subtle.
After all, the Lord Elder is an old bureaucrat who has withstood the tests of the officialdom of the Land of Fire for a long time. He has extremely rich experience in dealing with such situations, and he handles it with ease at this time, dealing with the Daimyo's anger with a perfect piece of nonsense literature.
In fact, the two may already know the answer in their hearts.
And it is a tacit understanding!
Whether they will is not important... whether they can is important.
But the Lord Elder absolutely cannot say it himself, otherwise.... Royal Style - Nine Clans Stripping Jutsu is not a joke.
After a burst of emotional venting.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire gradually regained his calm.
Subsequently, he sheathed the sword in his hand, came to his desk, and handed the investigation report written by Senju Tobirama to the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire.
As the biggest victim of this matter.
The Lord Elder of the Land of Fire wanted to know the truth of this assassination incident more than anyone else, wishing he could kill the enemy immediately.
As soon as he saw the investigation report, the Lord Elder read ten lines at a glance and quickly went through the content of the report.
"Bandits causing trouble, purely coincidental?"
"How is this possible!!"
Such a result startled the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire.
He understood.
No wonder the Daimyo was so angry.
He had just taken action in Konoha, successfully provoking the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan, awakening the thousand-year grudge between the two clans, and making some achievements, when his whole family was assassinated by a ninja squad.... Can there really be such a coincidence in the world?
The Lord Elder subconsciously didn't believe it.
But...
The joint investigation report result of the two major ninja villages, the Akatsuki Ninja Village and Konoha, was right in his hand.
At least from the evidence on the surface, this report was flawless.
Not only from the ninja's methods, types of ninjutsu, taijutsu... from an extremely professional ninja perspective, the conclusion was drawn that it was bandits causing trouble.
And considering the relationship between Senju Tobirama and the Uchiha clan recently, both sides would definitely investigate the case with a magnifying glass. If there was even a little suspicion on the other party, neither side would easily let the other go.
But... the possibility of bandits causing trouble is very low, but this possibility cannot be ruled out!
Now the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire couldn't distinguish the truth either.
Can't distinguish, really can't distinguish!
"Lord Elder, what do you think of this investigation result? Can it really be a coincidence?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire said with a fake smile, his voice sounding slightly trembling.
Yes, he was afraid.
For a long time, the nobles had been high above in the ninja world, making unscrupulous demands on the ninja world, while the ninjas had been submissive for a thousand years, serving the nobles like tools, which also made them like Celestial Dragons, gradually becoming arrogant.
But the Daimyo and the nobles were different from most of those stupid wastes. As elites ruling a country, they were not stupid.
Deep in their souls, they were actually always afraid, fearful.
Ninjas will not always be content with their current status.
Especially since this ninja world gave birth to two unprecedentedly powerful ninjas—Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
The two of them miraculously ended an era and recreated an era. Fortunately, Senju Hashirama finally chose to cooperate with the Daimyo, trying to establish a stable and harmonious system between the new era and the old era.
The ninja village system is not only to protect ninjas but also to protect the country, protect the Daimyo, and maintain the order of the old era.
But sadly, luck will not always stand on the side of the Daimyo.
In the new era, Uchiha Makoto also appeared. He did not want the relics of the old era to continue to exist in this world, continuing to dictate the future ninja world. Now, restricted by various practical factors, Uchiha Makoto has not yet fully exposed his ambition.
But it has already made the Daimyo so uneasy that he can't sleep.
Now another such thing happened.
If the assassination of the Lord Elder's family was really a coincidence, then everyone would be happy.
The next thing is actually very simple, just do whatever needs to be done.
.... The Daimyo pays, the nobles follow suit, then the Daimyo's money is returned in full, the nobles' money is split seventy-thirty, and the ninja villages take the money to suppress bandits!
This money is secondary.
The Daimyo doesn't mind spending a lot of money to let himself sleep peacefully for a while.
But if someone planned it deliberately, then the mastermind might not be just one family.
Konoha and Akatsuki are highly likely to be complicit!
One has ideas, one has ability. Once these two ninja villages really gang up, the Daimyo feels that the clothes on his body might be gone one day.
"Your Highness... perhaps... it really is a coincidence."
The Lord Elder swallowed his saliva and said.
He was just slightly reminded by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and realized the terrifying part of it.
Damn it... could it be that the two major ninja villages had already targeted him, using him as an example to demonstrate their power this time, wanting to use the assassination incident to secretly express dissatisfaction with the Daimyo's secret intervention in the internal conflicts of the ninja villages.
Then who is the mastermind?
Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Makoto, is it the two of them?
For a moment, the Lord Elder was scared by his own thoughts.
Too scary.
If this is the truth, he will never be able to avenge his family in this life.
At this moment, the Lord Elder looked a little older. He preferred to believe that this matter was a coincidence because the other possibility was too terrifying.
"Let's hope so, but this matter absolutely cannot be left like this."
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Find someone to spread this news, stir up public opinion in the Land of Fire, and let the national public opinion force the ninja villages to continue investigating. Lord Elder, you also know that the Uchiha and Senju clans are not of one heart. As long as people with intentions catch the opportunity, they will find ways to help us do what we want to do internally."
"I understand, Your Highness."
The Lord Elder nodded.
This is indeed a good method.
As long as the ninja village is not of one heart internally, they always have a chance.
At least from the current point of view, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan in Konoha are already confronting each other. Adding fuel to the fire is very likely to evolve into a state of swords drawn and bows bent.
"And the Uchiha clan..."
"Lord Elder, contact them personally again, let the Uchiha do their best to find clues. If the Senju clan really participated in this matter, they will find a way to find the evidence... As for how to grasp the scale, Lord Elder, please bother yourself more."
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire said.
As the ruler of the Land of Fire, it is impossible for him to do such a thing personally, and this burden can only be handed over to the Lord Elder of the Land of Fire.
The Lord Elder nodded silently, the wound on his cheek seemed to be aching faintly again.
...
Senju Tobirama sat on a chair by the dining table.
He knew someone had been plotting against him.
For example, Uchiha Makoto, Uchiha Makoto, and Uchiha Makoto.
He never minded using the most evil speculation to guess this naturally evil brat Uchiha Makoto... Every time this bastard could refresh his cognition of the Uchiha.
But there is no way now...
Facing the Uchiha gradually becoming stronger within Konoha village, he must cooperate with this naturally evil Uchiha brat in front of him to have a chance to continue to stand firm in Konoha until he becomes Hokage, and then display his grand plans and display his talents freely in Konoha.
And his brother Senju Hashirama is both a big tree sheltering Konoha from wind and rain and a shackle for Konoha.
Senju Tobirama had long realized this deeply. In the past, the Uchiha clan was not strong, but was firmly suppressed by him, and Senju Tobirama could still endure this matter, but now... Senju Tobirama felt that he must find a way to make changes.
"If I can master Wood Style and obtain power like my brother, then I will lack nothing!!"
A crazy idea that had never appeared before suddenly appeared in Senju Tobirama's mind.
For Senju Tobirama, this world is material and objective.
Whether it is chakra or natural energy, they are all secrets waiting to be deciphered.
And the so-called ninjutsu is actually the combined change of chakra properties.
So although his brother is perverted and unlike a human, why he can awaken Wood Style, why his physical fitness is so strong... these must also have reasons that can be found.
"As long as I discover the secret of my brother's power, I can master my brother's powerful strength, until I surpass my brother!!"
Senju Tobirama thought so in his mind, and his heart couldn't help but burn.
Studying his brother... is indeed an extremely exciting topic.
Finding an excuse to take some blood and tissue cells from his brother is not difficult.
Brother, sorry, this is all for Konoha.
"Ahem..."
Just as Senju Tobirama was thinking so, a light cough sounded, interrupting Senju Tobirama's thoughts and bringing him back to reality.
He saw Uchiha Makoto staring at him with a smile, reminding him of what he should do.
Senju Tobirama's expression remained unchanged, but he was already very unhappy in his heart.
"Brother, since you and Makoto are both in the Land of Fire now, I remember that Tsunade and Makoto's son have been betrothed. Why not take this opportunity to report to the Daimyo and let the Daimyo be a witness? It can be considered a national celebration."
Senju Tobirama forced a smile and proactively mentioned the marriage of Tsunade and Uchiha Taichi with a face full of smiles.
Uchiha Makoto was silent on the side, but felt refreshed in his heart.
That's right.
Uchiha Makoto could certainly propose this matter to Senju Hashirama himself at this time, and Senju Hashirama would not object.
After all, this was something the two families had agreed upon, but Uchiha Makoto just wanted Senju Tobirama to bring up this matter himself.
This is a fun play unique to Uchiha Makoto and Senju Tobirama.
And Senju Hashirama looked like he had seen a ghost.
He had always been very clear about Senju Tobirama's attitude towards this marriage, which was a thousand and ten thousand times unwilling. He had raised objections in front of him several times in different ways, but considering the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan, Senju Hashirama had already decided on this marriage.
Unexpectedly.
Tobirama has changed his nature now, actually proactively mentioning this marriage to him, and even agreed!
.... Sure enough, I knew it!
Tobirama, you also fell in love with the Uchiha, right!
