Tobirama Senju: Now that you mention it, if we're going to deal with Kumogakure, we'll have to hit them hard!

" Lord Hokage, why weren't I informed of such a major event beforehand?"

"A fake Lord Hokage, this can't be real, right?"

Nara Luyuan looked horrified, his voice filled with exhaustion.

This is what happens when you get the "workplace vibe": endless overtime, all-nighters, and the same old boss, and the great Lord Hokage even throws himself a huge project every now and then to increase his workload.

The loyal generals of the Land of Fire are plotting to assassinate the Daimyo!

You must be kidding!

Daimyo is, after all, Daimyo; it is not something made of clay, but the name of a monarch of a country.

Although the Daimyo is always timid and always likes to smooth things over, if someone really wants his life, even if that person Hokage of Konoha, he will take revenge relentlessly as long as the Daimyo is alive.

Would those loyal ministers and generals really be so bold?

Nara Luyuan instinctively didn't believe Uchiha Nan's news.

With the execution plans of his loyal generals laid out before him, Nara Luyuan found it difficult to doubt the intelligence-gathering capabilities of Konoha's Anbu.

"Of course it's true."

Uchiha Nan propped her head up with her hands crossed. She had gotten up too early this morning and was still a little sleepy.

Nara Luyuan's heart trembled. The Lord Hokage's calm demeanor meant he hadn't just received the news.

Could it be that the Lord Hokage is the mastermind behind this?

I wanted to give it a push and then

Nara Luyuan.

" Lord Hokage, what should we do?"

"Then naturally we must protect the Daimyo secretly. Konoha won't let him waste the hundreds of billions of ryo a year."

call

Nara Luyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the Lord Hokage was about to lose his temper, but thankfully, he should have discussed such a big matter with him first. Sigh, why did he still feel a little regretful?

"The purpose of a ninja village is to protect the country. Protecting the Daimyo Konoha like having an umbrella over Konoha's umbrella hasn't been opened for too long. This time, we need to let the Daimyo get a little rain first, and then they will understand how important Konoha's umbrella is."

Uchiha Nan smiled, and the malice emanating from him made Nara Luyuan feel extremely uncomfortable.

Now Nara Luyuan is almost certain that the Lord Hokage was involved in the assassination of the Daimyo and the subsequent melting in water—a momentous event.

"We can call the representatives from the industrial faction over today. The Anbu has recently collected a lot of evidence against them; hand it all over to them. They're not ninjas, so they're perfect for this kind of work."

"This time, Konoha will purge the court of corrupt officials!"

Uchiha Nan used a very nice-sounding word to name this operation.

Nara Luyuan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. He had read quite a few of the books and records from the Land of Fire's collection that had been transported to Konoha last time, especially the history books.

The campaign to "purge the emperor's inner circle" targeted loyal ministers who, under the guise of this rebellion, ended up eliminating the emperor himself.

A few days later

Lake Shikotsu

The Daimyo's fleet passed through here; Lake Shikotsu has always been famous for its plump mandarin fish.

Every time he patrolled this area, the Daimyo would cast his line a couple of times and catch a few mandarin fish himself.

"They've taken the bait!!"

A look of surprise appeared on Daimyo's face, and the fishing rod bent instantly.

"This fish is huge!"

With a splash, his Daimyo fell into the lake.

The lake water in early spring was still icy cold. Daimyo struggled and thrashed about, crying for help.

But no one responded; the surrounding guards seemed to have become deaf and blind, standing motionless in place.

Am I going to die?

Daimyo choked on some water, his limbs went weak, and he slowly sank into the lake. His brain was deprived of oxygen, and he was gradually losing consciousness.

"My dad's dying, but I'm going to become Daimyo!!"

The second young master, watching his Daimyo, floundering in the lake, excitedly shouted from inside the cabin; he was an extremely filial Filial Son.

"Hush, Your Highness, this is only the first step. You should cry, cry with a sorrowful face!"

The second young master's uncle frowned as he looked at his excited son.

"Uncle, I can't be sad!"

"Can't you even hum and haw?"

The second young master's uncle was somewhat helpless for a moment, but although his nephew was a good-for-nothing, that didn't matter. The nobles of the Land of Fire would help him manage the Land of Fire well. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Protect Daimyo!!"

"Traitorous officials and rebels are causing chaos!!"

Suddenly, a commotion arose in the cabin, and a large number of people appeared on both banks. The daimyo who was still in the water was rescued by ninjas in the blink Daimyo an eye.

The deafening roar created chaos at the scene. The twelve Konoha Anbu ninjas killed a group of guards who tried to escape and quickly brought the situation under control.

"Ugh"

The Daimyo spat out several mouthfuls of lake water, shivering from the cold. However, Medical Ninja quickly forced Daimyo to drink a clear, greenish solution. At the same time, a green light emanating from the Medical Ninja's hand warmed the Daimyo's entire body.

What happened?

The still-shaken Daimyo looked at the somewhat unfamiliar ninja, but the Konoha insignia on his head reassured him that this was a Konoha ninja.

Daimyo quickly recovered.

"Someone is trying to kill me!!"

Daimyo was just weak-willed, not stupid; in fact, one could say he was quite clever. Having just narrowly escaped death, he was now burning with rage.

How dare you!

Who on earth dared to be so bold?!

"Someone's trying to kill me!!!"

"All the guards today must die!!"

Daimyo, Daming felt a surge of power coursing through his body. He abruptly stood up and roared, oblivious to his soaking wet clothes.

"Who else could it be? There must be a mastermind behind this!"

The Daimyo's sinister face swept over the people around him; all his loyal ministers and generals who had followed him today were suspects.

" Konoha, you are Konoha ninja!"

"Your Highness, we are the Guardian Twelve Ninja, and we have been protecting you in secret."

The Daimyo then remembered that the Hokage had dispatched twelve elite ninjas to protect him around the clock. To maintain secrecy, even the Daimyo himself only knew the ninjas' code names and nothing else.

" The Land of Fire has raised a bunch of ungrateful wretches."

Daimyo looked menacingly at the flustered officials around him.

"I'm handing all these people over to you. I don't care what methods Konoha uses, just get them to talk!!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The planned parade quickly came to an end, and news of the Daimyo's assassination spread to the capital of the Land of Fire that very afternoon.

The loyal ministers and generals involved in this matter immediately packed their valuables and prepared to flee. Having committed such a treasonous act, they knew that success meant instant wealth and power, while failure meant their entire families would meet the Sage of Six Paths. They had already prepared their escape routes.

The Ninja world is so vast, there must be a place for them to stay. The ninjas hired at great expense will safely escort them out of the Land of Fire, and then they will live in hiding in some unknown small country.

But the Konoha Anbu ninjas seemed to have been prepared all along. As soon as the Daimyo returned to the capital, they were taken into custody, and his sons, who had been secretly sent abroad, were captured and brought back.

Konoha's astonishing speed caused the death row in the Land of Fire to overflow.

Damn it!!

Konoha is entrapping law enforcement!!

There's a mole! There's a mole!!!

Loyal ministers and generals attacked each other in the death row.

late at night

"Father, I was wrong!!"

"My uncle forced me to do it all!!!"

The second young master knelt on the ground, wailing and crying, placing all the blame on his uncle.

The Daimyo remained silent with a gloomy face, looking at the evidence in his hand. With just a few illusions, he could make his loyal ministers and generals recount the entire process of the treason in great detail.

How did they get together, how did they contact each other, how did they bribe the guards, how did they clean up the mess, and how did they support their foolish son to ascend to the throne?

Konoha's incredible efficiency surprised even the Daimyo. Daimyo would never have believed Konoha was unaware beforehand, but that didn't matter now.

At least Konoha didn't want his life.

And his own foolish son had gotten involved too!

The son actually tried to kill his father!

If word gets out, how can I face anyone? I'll definitely become a laughingstock throughout the entire Ninja world.

These damned traitors, for their own benefit, have misled their own son.

Daimyo knew his second son's character very well; he was just a good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat rice and enjoy himself. He didn't have the guts to plan something so big.

"Demoted to commoner status and imprisoned forever!"

Ultimately, the Daimyo showed leniency towards his son; killing this good-for-nothing who only knew how to eat rice and waste food would only tarnish his own reputation.

After dealing with the Filial Son's mess, the Daimyo didn't sleep all night. Dragging his exhausted body, he began the court assembly, which was now nearly half empty.

"Your Highness, treason is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of three generations of your family!"

I second that!

I second that!

The industrialists were the first to speak out, and their allies echoed their sentiments. The crowd was in a frenzy, and no one dared to oppose them on this issue.

The Daimyo was almost killed; anyone who dares to plead for the traitor must be cut off decisively.

The important thing now is how to fill the vacancies in the court, as the previous group of loyal ministers and generals have already gained high positions and great power.

Daimyo the personnel replacements, his eyes involuntarily drifted toward the industrial faction representative. This time, he had put in a great deal of effort in the hunt for the traitors.

Without a doubt, this person and the forces behind him have already pledged allegiance to Konoha.

Ultimately, we still have to give the Hokage some face.

The Daimyo sighed inwardly. Konoha's emergency rescue was indeed very timely, but the intention was also very clear: to interfere in the Land of Fire.

Konoha's speed is getting faster and faster!

I really don't know how much longer I can stay in this position Daimyo. I looked at the back of my hand. The old, wrinkled back of my hand had disappeared, and the skin had become smooth again.

What exactly did the Konoha ninja drink?

It actually had such an effect?

Is this considered an exchange for the Hokage?

The Daimyo ultimately chose to award the largest share to the industrial faction, as a reward for their efforts in eliminating the rebellion and as a gesture of goodwill towards Konoha.

A grand feast of whale fall unfolded, and the power structure of the imperial court underwent a major reshuffle.

Konoha played a very positive role in this. Konoha's influence finally reached the power center of the Land of Fire, and from then on, they could openly use the Industrial Faction to sweep away some uncooperative individuals.

Killing for profit and getting splattered with blood is always troublesome; after all, doing business ultimately requires harmony to make money.

Uchiha Nan was very satisfied with the timely help from the loyal ministers and generals of the Land of Fire. Now that these people have died, the Land of Fire should be peaceful for a while.

The Daimyo upheaval in the Land of Land of Fire's court eventually reached Konoha, with Konoha TV repeatedly broadcasting the assassination attempt on the daimyo, raking in a wave of viewership.

The entire Konoha was extremely concerned about the assassination attempt by the Daimyo.

After all, gossiping is human nature, and the assassination of the Konoha Daimyo became a trending topic in Konoha.

The peaceful days passed quickly, and Konoha proceeded with its capital expansion step by step.

On a moonlit night, Uchiha Nan, as usual, went to Tobirama Senju's laboratory to inspect Tobirama Senju's work.

" Tobirama, are you really getting old? Why haven't you invented Ninjutsu to capture Black Zetsu yet?"

Uchiha Nan harbored a deep-seated resentment; the rat lurking beside him was constantly spying on his nightlife, which was utterly inhumane.

We must catch it as soon as possible!

"Fart!"

"You have no idea how complicated this hand seal is."

"It must be able to be released instantly, penetrate fifty meters underground, and also defend against Yin-Yang Release."

What kind of insane client would make such a request?

Tobirama Senju kept cursing and swearing, but Uchiha Nan didn't take Tobirama Senju's complaints seriously.

"Then why were you able to invent Ninjutsu to deal with the Uchiha so quickly? I saw your records in the Forbidden Scroll; at your peak, you could create one Ninjutsu per month."

"How can that be the same?"

Tobirama Senju's eyes widened.

I'm too lazy to argue with you.

"How much longer? I can't wait to catch Black Zetsu."

"It will take at least two more months; the nested seals in between are just too complicated."

Uchiha Nan didn't push Tobirama Senju too far; inventing Ninjutsu was ultimately Tobirama's specialty, and he himself was a cheat.

Afterwards Uchiha Nan chatted with Tobirama Senju as usual, talking about the Land of Lightning and the Kumogakure.

" Tobirama, you should thank me; I'll have to avenge you."

"Hmph, that inherently evil Uchiha brat, using crooked methods to harm others again. But then again, those dark-skinned bastards from Kumogakure should be dealt a heavy blow!"

The gloom that had hampered Tobirama Senju's development of Sealing Jutsu was swept away.

If it weren't for the fact that Kumogakure couldn't control its subordinates Kinkaku and Ginkaku, he wouldn't be in this state today.

After his death, his grave was desecrated. The inherently evil Uchiha brat used the Impure World Impure World Reincarnation he invented to control him, and then forced him to work like a slave in a dark and hopeless laboratory, using the future of Konoha as leverage.

Life is truly unpredictable; the large intestine encloses the small intestine.

So annoying!!

"This is my latest invention, an explosive that can replace Exploding Tag. It costs three to five times less than Exploding Tag, but its power is no less. Most importantly, ordinary people can complete most of the process with this explosive, unlike Exploding Tag which require ninjas to be involved from start to finish."

Tobirama Senju presented the results he planned to submit next month.
