Listening to Danzo's words, Namikawa Yū's lips couldn't help but twitch, and he didn't know what to say at this moment.
Killing your allies first and not giving the enemy a chance to take action is something that would be difficult for an ordinary person to say.
But if it is Danzo, it makes sense for you.
It fits the character very well.
Benefiting yourself at the expense of others, there is no lower limit, this is Danzo's character.
Originally, when he was young, this characteristic of Danzo had not been expressed too much.
But as we take control of power, it becomes more and more obvious at this moment.
Don't even say it.
If we follow Danzo's suggestion, it would be quite feasible.
After all, given the relationship between Konoha and Uzumaki Clan, Uzumaki Clan would never have expected that people from Konoha would suddenly launch a surprise attack.
As long as they arrange for people to enter Land of Whirlpools and then suddenly attack, they can easily take down the entire Uzumaki Clan.
There won't even be much loss in the whole process.
After all, in the Uzumaki Clan's view, Konoha is considered a stable person and is not defensive about many things.
After the demise of the Uzumaki Clan, the Sealing Technique inheritance and Kekkei Genkai owned by the Uzumaki Clan will completely fall into the hands of Konoha, without giving anyone else the slightest chance to covet them.
The whole plan is actually quite feasible, and there are many benefits to be gained.
The only problem is that it's a bit immoral.
"Are you crazy, Danzo!"
Mitokado Homura and the others stared at Danzo as if they were a madman. "Uzumaki Clan is our ally, how dare you have such an idea!"
"What about allies, what about enemies?"
Being watched by the eyes of Mitokado Homura and others, Danzo's expression was still calm. At this moment, his face was full of coldness. "In this chaotic era, the positions of allies and enemies are like a turntable and may change at any time."
"Uzumaki Clan is now Konoha's ally. Who knows whether he will betray Konoha in the future."
"Sealing Technique and Kekkei Genkai of the Uzumaki Clan, only by keeping these things in hand can Konoha not suffer losses and have the chance of being robbed."
"You're crazy!"
Hearing this, Mitokado Homura and others felt a little unacceptable.
The originally peaceful conference room in front of me soon began to quarrel.
Namikawa Yū stood aside, looking at the quarreling people with interest, and found it very interesting.
After succeeding as Hokage, he now understands Third Hokage's original thoughts.
Standing in the position of Hokage, people who can work diligently are indispensable, but if Danzo is responsible for doing dirty work for Konoha, this cannot be completely missing.
Otherwise, if the moral standard of the entire village is too high, if sometimes something shameful happens, there won't even be any subordinates who can arrange it.
Danzo is undoubtedly the best person who can arrange the dirty work.
"Okay."
Seeing that the quarrel in front of him became more and more fierce, Namikawa Yū stretched out his hand to stop the argument.
"Mr. Danzo, please say less."
He said calmly, "No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, Land of Whirlpools is still our ally."
"Under this premise, what we want to discuss is how to prevent allies from being attacked by Kumogakure, not how to murder our own allies."
"In the village, Mrs. Mito is still watching."
In Konoha today, Uzumaki Mito is still alive.
With his relationship with the Uzumaki Clan, how could he possibly watch Konoha attack his mother clan?
That would be too unrealistic.
If Konoha wants to attack Uzumaki Clan, then it will be fun.
Uzumaki Mito Just because he doesn't like to fight with others doesn't mean that he doesn't have the ability to fight with others.
Shimura Danzō was afraid that he didn't know the power of Mito, so he drifted away at this moment.
His proposal was impossible to implement from the start.
"Ji, you will regret it!"
Listening to Namikawa Yū's words, Shimura Danzō turned his eyes to him, with obvious disappointment in his eyes.
What's going on?
Listening to Shimura Danzō's words, Namikawa Yū's face looked a little strange.
He didn't know why, but looking at this scene and Danzo's face, he always felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
"Danzo."
So, in front of everyone, he spoke again, "I am the Hokage."
"Hmph!"
Rejected by Namikawa Yū, Danzo slammed the door and left, feeling quite sober that everyone else was drunk and I was alone.
Feeling comfortable.
Looking at this scene, Namikawa Yū had a smile on his face.
He looked at Utatane Koharu in front of him. "In Land of Fire, where is the closest place to Land of Whirlpools?"
"This... should be the coast near Land of Whirlpools."
Utatane Koharu took the map and fumbled around for a while, then said, "It only takes half a day to go to support Land of Whirlpools from here."
"Then let's build a base here."
Namikawa Yū said calmly, "Just in time, our control over Land of Fire should be more in-depth."
Some time ago, when the Konoha and Kumogakure coalition forces fought against the Kinkaku Brothers rebels, many things happened in Land of Fire.
For example, a large number of Konoha Ninja were dispatched from Konoha and began to suppress bandits everywhere in Land of Fire.
Regarding Konoha's actions, Land of Fire Daimyo and nobles from all over the country also supported Konoha's actions at the beginning.
After all, suppressing bandits is also good for them, and it can make their rule more stable.
At the beginning, the effect of this special crackdown operation was quite good. Under the strong attack of Konoha Ninja, all the bandits in various places disappeared, and the public security was unprecedentedly good.
But after that, the lords everywhere gradually felt that something was wrong.
Konoha's ninjas are serious about suppressing bandits. This is indeed true.
But after you suppressed the bandits, why didn't you leave?
That's right, under the instruction of Namikawa Yū, Konoha Ninja established small strongholds in various places around Land of Fire.
These small strongholds are often built on smooth roads or bustling trade routes, and are nominally established to suppress bandits.
It was true that they were suppressing bandits at the beginning, but later on, these strongholds were directly changed jobs and became toll stations.
Its main function changed from suppressing bandits to collecting toll taxes from passing merchants.
No matter who wants to pass through these strongholds, they need to pay taxes.
The beautiful name is trade route protection fee.
After all, I have sent troops to protect your safety along the way, shouldn't you pay some protection fees?
You know, our suppression of bandits is free!
At this time, lords from all over the world and Land of Fire Daimyo realized that what is free is often the most expensive.
When Konoha suppressed the bandit tribe, the bandits disappeared, but the Konoha people never left.
And there's nothing you can do against them.
You definitely can't beat him.
Within Land of Fire, Konoha is the strongest and the only military organization.
Looking at the entire Land of Fire and Konoha, we can easily say that there is no one around who can fight.
Even if an independent force like Fire Temple exists and has some strength, if it dares to go against Konoha, it will only end up being easily wiped out.
In name, Konoha is still the military organization of the entire Land of Fire, and the Hokage is the supreme military commander of Land of Fire, with the personal certification and endorsement of Land of Fire Daimyo.
As the supreme military leader of Land of Fire, I lead the military to implement martial law and suppress bandits throughout Land of Fire. Is this reasonable?
Is it reasonable to set up strongholds specifically to suppress bandits and carry out long-term and professional suppression of bandits?
Konoha's side not only has enough strength, but also the name.
It is itself a legal military organization of Land of Fire and endorsed by Daimyo.
If those local lords don't want to obey, they can do whatever they want.
However, if you are too casual, you may also unlock various ways of death.
Such as free falling into the water, disappearance, suicide, etc.
It is quite easy for people to commit suicide in this world.
Sharingan With a glare and illusion, an ordinary person wouldn't even have room to resist.
In just a short period of time, relying on these strongholds, Konoha has tended to overthrow the entire Land of Fire aristocratic class.
After reaching this step, Namikawa Yū's next plan is to build military bases throughout Land of Fire to better bring the entire Land of Fire under control.
This is both a development need and a practical need.
Only by achieving this step can Namikawa Yū fully unleash the potential of the entire Land of Fire.
Now that there are considerations to protect Uzumaki Clan, that's just right.
"List this base as the No. 1 base and start construction first."
He said, "After its construction is completed, take the lead in leading people to station in it to ensure the safety of Land of Whirlpools."
"Yes."
Utatane Koharu in front of him nodded.
"What do Daimyo think of our actions during this period?"
Namikawa Yū then looked at Mitokado Homura.
"Daimyo He... seems to be quite critical."
Mitokado Homura hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Excellency Daimyo seems to be very annoyed about the village setting up checkpoints and collecting tariffs in various places Land of Fire."
"If this continues, our village may lose the Daimyo grant."
"Lost grant for Daimyo?"
Namikawa Yū smiled, "That's it?"
"Actually, he said a lot of other things."
Mitokado Homura said, "But right now, this is the only way he can threaten the village.
The so-called Daimyo is exactly the same thing.
It would be fine if the ninja didn't realize the power he held in his hands and just acted as a tool for Daimyo's subordinates.
But when the ninja realized that the so-called Daimyo were a bunch of paper tigers and completely vulnerable, the so-called Daimyo was nothing.
For example, now.
Faced with Konoha's expansion and infringement in Land of Fire's various places, the only thing Land of Fire Daimyo can do is to threaten with annual allocations.
"They're just a bunch of paper tigers."
Namikawa Yū smiled softly and didn't care at all.
Not only him, but others present also paid no attention to Daimyo's threat.
Daimyo does not allocate funds to the village. If this kind of thing happens in other villages, it may be very serious. A bad thing can directly affect the survival of the village.
For example, this is the case with Sand Village.
But it's nothing to Konoha at this moment.
There is no other reason than money.
