The merger of villages sounds so pleasant to the ears!
Capital of the Land of Fire, Daimyo residence.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's face was facing the window, and thunder could be heard from time to time in his ears.
After several days of lingering heat.
The sky finally formed layers of iron-colored clouds, and large raindrops soon appeared. They were like strings of beads that had been violently shaken off, moistening the thirsty earth.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire's mood was just like the weather in front of him, very bad and overcast.
Akatsuki Ninja Village's behavior is becoming more and more bold and excessive, issuing its own currency, Agricultural Association, Six Kage Summit. Almost every plan launched can be said to have sinister intentions, constantly digging into the foundation of Land of Fire, and even digging into the foundation of the entire Ninja World aristocratic system.
Although the effects of these methods cannot be seen yet, but from now on, Land of Fire will really have a big problem.
"Grand Elder. Times are changing so fast that I can no longer see clearly. What should I do in the future Land of Fire?"
"Maybe only God knows."
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire was muttering in his mouth, with a sad face.
Somehow.
He suddenly envied his ancestors extremely much. Although they were not as good as him in terms of ruling area, living and enjoying life, etc., at that time, the ninjas were still trapped in the shackles of Ninja Tool Theory and could not extricate themselves. Their eyes were fixed on the tasks issued by the nobles, and then in order to compete for these tasks, they fought with each other, generation after generation.
The ancestors only need to follow the rules and rules of rule left by their ancestors - use tasks to divide the ninja clan and constantly create hatred between the ninja clan, so that they can firmly control the situation of Ninja World.
Then you can have fun, keep playing and dancing, and don't have to worry about the threat posed by the ninja.
But times have developed now, and it's his turn. Times have changed!
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire is confused by the changes of the times.
It's only a matter of a few years.
He found that the situation was moving at an unprecedented speed in a frightening direction.
What made him feel even more sad and powerless was...
It seems that this situation only happened in Land of Fire. The ninja villages in other countries have always been doing their duty, following the order of Warring States Period, and doing their best to protect the rule of Daimyo, without any sign of rebellion.
This kind of thing is simply a disaster from heaven.
And what makes Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire unable to sleep the most is that he seems to have no buffer time to resist and struggle.
As if suddenly, Land of Fire, the ninja who had only been focusing on the mission, began to look upward, and then the ruling logic passed down by Daimyos of all generations completely failed in the face of the current situation.
The ninja clan gathered into a ninja village, and the cost of dividing and instigating them increased exponentially. Ninja villages began to think of ways to form alliances with each other.
In this case.
What is the use of the tactics of balance and division?
Once the situation gets out of control, he will be no match for the criticism of the ninja's weapons.
--What you can't get on the battlefield is destined to be impossible to get at the negotiation table.
And those hereditary nobles.
It's obvious that the ninjas are also usurping their power and status, but they just shout "loyalty" in their mouths, but in fact they surrender faster than anyone else.
Agricultural Association's promotion and Land of Fire's nobility, big and small, have contributed a lot.
"For the food security of Land of Fire, it is our unshirkable responsibility to promote Agricultural Association!"
"Lord Shadow This move will benefit the country and the country on the one hand, and the common people on the other hand, and it will have immeasurable merits!"
"."
The rainbow farts really come one after another, without any shame.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire still can't raise objections.
Akatsuki Ninja Village came up with grain crop seeds and Chemical Fertilizer that can achieve a yield of 300kg per mu, which naturally occupies a great name.
Because of these bad things, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire has not had a good sleep for several days.
Grand Elder stood behind Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire, listening to Daimyo's frustrated complaints.
There was nothing he could do about it.
I can only try to persuade Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire to relax, the situation is not as bad as Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire said.
"Your Highness, this matter is not that far yet. We still have time."
"Time?"
"How much time can we have if we continue like this? I'm afraid."
"Your Highness, all of us at Land of Fire will not condone the traitor Akatsuki Ninja Village!"
"You mean to kill fish and kill net."
"Hey~ The fish is dead and the net is broken.. Even if I am willing, those people below... hum."
Before Grand Elder finished speaking, he was interrupted by Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire with a sneer.
Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of ministers and nobles who defected during the succession of dynasties.
These people are never a small group of people, but constitute the vast majority.
Because they are fundamentally different from Daimyo.
Daimyo If the lineage loses, it will be severely liquidated and then stigmatized until the traces left behind are completely eliminated.
Ministers and nobles always have the opportunity to surrender.
So Sausage-Slicing Strategy implemented by Uchiha Makoto is really a big success!
Akatsuki Ninja Village uses force as an endorsement and money to clear the way.
Who would really fight Ninjamura to the end for Daimyo?
It's time to make a critical decision.
There is no need for Uchiha Makoto to send Akatsuki Ninja Village ninjas to insert Kunai on their bedside and force them to make a choice.
They can take the initiative to sell Daimyo!
Wouldn't it be better to sell Daimyo and form a military government with the ninjas!
It's not like they can't try to become ninjas.
In that case, external conflicts will instantly transform into internal conflicts, and even Uchiha Makoto will not be able to kill the forces that actively surrender.
They can even give up all their family property, use the method of marriage, and find ways to recruit ninjas as husband-in-law and adopted children.
In the world of Hokage and the real neon society, adopted children can also inherit all family property.
If you do this, although the actual Leader of the family will become someone with a foreign surname, at least the family name and blood descendants can be passed down, which is better than being eaten up and wiped out by others, and the family will be ruined.
In Ninja World, this is actually nothing unusual.
With some manipulation, the descendants of nobles and ministers can still become Ninja World, an immortal family for thousands of years.
"Your Highness, you are too pessimistic."
"We are not at the end of our rope yet."
"."
Grand Elder felt a thump in his heart, he didn't dare to answer this question at all.
Even though he is Daimyo's most trusted confidant, he is indeed loyal and always keeps a distance from Akatsuki Ninja Village, and does not have a quarrelsome relationship with Akatsuki Ninja Village.
But this represents him alone.
The cunning family behind him is only human nature.
This is really important.
Theoretically speaking, Land of Fire and Imperial Court are really full of young people everywhere - when Tou Xiao thinks about it, he feels that the world is vast!
So Grand Elder could only continue to comfort Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire.
Things haven't reached the point where everything is dead and all is exhausted!
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire stopped talking and looked at the heavy rain outside the window, feeling extremely sad in his heart.
Aren't we at the end of our rope?
Indeed.
But this is the scary thing about Uchiha Makoto.
If Uchiha Makoto directly launched a rebellion and started a stud game, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire might still have hope of a comeback.
After all, Ninja World is still Daimyo, and the nobles hold the initiative. Akatsuki Ninja Village's open rebellion will only become the target of public criticism, becoming Ninja World's public enemy, and then end under countless sieges.
But Akatsuki Ninja Village has been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, boiling frogs in warm water and slicing sausages, gradually cutting off the support behind Daimyo.
Use industrialization to make the cake bigger to unite most of the people. Ninjas, big and small nobles, businessmen, small citizens, and farmers until Daimyo is completely turned into a loner.
A sausage is cut until it can't be cut, and then comes the feast.
"What is the situation with Konoha now? The public opinion of Land of Fire has completely turned towards Akatsuki Ninja Village
"Have they been silent?"
After a long time.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire took a deep breath and said.
He turned around and returned to his usual expressionless look.
Power is so tempting that it has attracted countless heroes to bend over.
For the sake of supreme power, various methods have been used in history to kill brothers, kill sons, imprison fathers, and imprison mothers.
Even if Uchiha Makoto can now give Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire a promise, "I swear in the name of the Uchiha Clan that I will still be a rich man after surrendering," Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire will not surrender and surrender.
He could not tolerate the country that he had been in charge of for many years and the inheritance passed down by his ancestors to be ruined in his own hands.
Even if there is really no choice but to surrender in the end.
Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire I feel that I must at least be able to stand up straight and say, "I really tried my best," when Pure Land faces my ancestors after death.
"Your Highness, Konoha hasn't done anything yet, and his relationship with Akatsuki Ninja Village is still the same as before. Mainly because Konoha's First Hokage sometimes I really doubt. Is he a fool? His personality is too, well, too naive."
Seeing that Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire regained his composure, Grand Elder began to report the situation of Konoha to him.
According to normal circumstances.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
When the reputation of Akatsuki Ninja Village completely overwhelmed Konoha, what followed was a significant reduction in the scale of ninja missions in Konoha.
The reduction in the scale of tasks is unacceptable to any ninja village.
If it were placed on Warring States Period, all the ninja clan would be confused by it.
Therefore, Konoha should also produce a certain degree of friction with Akatsuki Ninja Village.
Once friction arises between the two villages, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire can take the opportunity to do something.
But Konoha has made no movement so far.
After careful analysis of the information from Konoha, Grand Elder came to the conclusion that First Hokage Hashirama Senju should be the biggest reason.
"Huh?"
"Your Highness, from the beginning, we had a cognitive bias towards Hashirama Senju. He may be a true and kind person without any ambition. Because of Hokage's persistence, Konoha has maintained restraint from the beginning to the end."
"This"
Grand Elder listed First Hokage's weird behaviors one by one, including but not limited to letting Tobirama Senju completely take over Hokage's Power in the village, once publicly declared that he hoped that Uchiha Madara would become Second Hokage. From the beginning of the establishment of the village, there were even rumors that Hashirama Senju took the initiative to let go of the assassin, etc.
There are just too many examples.
All these signs, without exception, indicate that Hashirama Senju is a good person who restrains his own strength and does good to others. It is not an exaggeration to call him a moral saint.
In this regard, Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire doesn't know what to say.
From a political perspective, he cannot trust Hashirama Senju under any circumstances.
It doesn't matter whether you are rebellious or not, it is enough that you have the ability to rebel.
Uchiha Makoto used this argument to sell "Hashirama Senju Threat Theory" to Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire, and finally successfully received support from Land of Fire.
But now all the phenomena show that Hashirama Senju really has no ambition.
Not only is he unambitious, but he is also ridiculously naive. He completely delegated power to his younger brother in Konoha, but he still has no idea. Under such circumstances, it is really either stupid or bad to want to lose the throne of Second Hokage to Uchiha Madara.
"So, Your Highness, judging from the current performance of Hashirama Senju, even if there is a real rift between Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village, it will eventually be due to Hashirama Senju's personal restraint, minimizing major issues, trivializing them, or even taking the initiative to give in. If we want to provoke them, it will be very difficult."
"There is really no other way. Konoha and Akatsuki Ninja Village cannot be monolithic."
"There is a way."
"The battle between the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan has lasted for thousands of years. Now even if they successfully shake hands and make peace, the two sides have formed an alliance to establish the Konoha Ninja Village. Their battle has not stopped. Now they just keep the battle in the dark. Hashirama Senju's younger brother Tobirama Senju wants to be the next Hokage, and Uchiha Clan is also very ambitious about this, and has even made it public recently. Uchiha Makoto of Akatsuki Ninja Village has been silently supporting Uchiha Clan, which is actually a good entry point."
Grand Elder said this, with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes. The huge pit buried by Hashirama Senju can also be used by them.
Now Tobirama Senju holds great power in Konoha, known as Shadow Hokage of Konoha. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he wants to become Second Hokage of Konoha.
And Uchiha Clan is also very ambitious for the position of Second Hokage because of Hashirama Senju.
The most important thing is that Uchiha Makoto is also involved. Even though Uchiha Makoto's surname is Uchiha and he has the blood of the Uchiha Clan, he is still an outsider to Konoha.
"Your Highness, I can completely change the direction of public opinion and create various public opinions through the fight between the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan for Second Hokage. The blood debt between the two races back then was huge. There are too many to count. Then we pulled Uchiha Makoto in and Light Shadow stretched his hand so long into the inside of Konoha. This is obviously unkind."
"And it's not like we don't have any dirt on Uchiha Makoto."
"And Tobirama Senju. I remember that Uchiha Madara's beloved brother died in his hands."
"In this case, Konoha might cause trouble for Xiao Qiang, and Akatsuki Ninja Village is also involved."
"We also have the opportunity to maneuver around."
