Tsunade felt a little uneasy.
Feudal Lord's confident demeanor aroused a hint of doubt in her heart.
Uchiha Mirai, the legendary Calamity Uchiha!
Countless ninjas died at his hands during the Third Great Ninja War.
Those who didn't die also underwent physical mutations, growing strange and unusual things.
When Third Great Ninja War broke out, she was unable to participate in the main battle because she was suffering from hemophobia.
They can only command the medical-nin from the rear.
There, she witnessed firsthand the terrifying Uchiha Mirai.
That terrifying toxin couldn't distinguish between friend and foe; some Konoha ninjas were also infected because they were too close.
Tsunade had never witnessed such a horrific scene.
It was as if what lay before her was not a ninja, but a bizarre humanoid creature with rotting skin and flesh mixed with hair constantly falling off.
During World War II, she fought against Chiyo of Sunagakure multiple times. Chiyo was a rare master of poison in the Ninja World.
But her poison was as powerless as an infant against Uchiha Mirai.
This is some kind of toxin that attacks at the microscopic level!
What Tsunade found slightly curious was that most of the ninjas who were accidentally injured were from the Sarutobi and Shimura Clan.
It must be a coincidence!
As the memories faded, Tsunade took a deep breath, clearing her mind of distractions, and focused intently on the Feudal Lord before her.
"Feudal Lord, I'm leaving this matter to you."
Tsunade's thinking was very simple.
The rise of the Uchiha Clan has disrupted the balance of the village.
As the most esteemed person in the Land of Fire, the Feudal Lord controls the Land of Fire's resources and power.
However, weighing the Uchiha Clan against the village shouldn't be difficult for him.
She still remembered Sarutobi Hiruzen's sigh before he left:
"Tsunade, I have never asked anyone for a favor in my life."
This time, I'm begging you.
Save Konoha!
Tsunade was moved by that scene.
Has she truly become completely indifferent to the village after all these years of wandering?
No, I'm just too disappointed.
Dan Katō, Nawaki, Orochimaru...
One by one, those close to her left her; Sarutobi Hiruzen's inaction; the village's coldness and darkness broke her heart...
Her years of gambling addiction, wasn't it also a form of self-healing?
Now, the village is truly in dire straits.
She can't stand idly by.
"Don't worry, Little Gang, since I've already promised you, I will naturally do it."
The Feudal Lord smiled and fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan.
There was something profound hidden deep within those eyes.
Tsunade couldn't see it, and she wasn't in the mood to pay attention.
"That's good, thank you for your help..."
The weight that had been hanging over my heart slowly lifted with Feudal Lord's promise.
The Land of Lightning.
Feudal Lord.
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning leaned back in a soft chair, with two maids kneeling beside him, respectfully kneading his thighs.
His blissful expression caused the streetlights outside to creak.
It seems to be missing some accessory!
"Huh? The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire invited me to Feudal Lord gathering?"
He looked at the letter presented by the servant.
A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.
They hold these kinds of gatherings several times a year.
After all, he was born Feudal Lord and possessed the highest level of wealth in the world.
All they do is eat, drink, and play!
However, gatherings of Feudal Lord are usually announced one or two weeks in advance, and this gathering organized by the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire is scheduled to take place in the next few days.
"What is the Land of Fire Feudal Lord up to?"
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning lazily fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan.
It was just a party.
Go have some fun, that's fine.
I've been feeling quite tired lately, and among the Five Great Nations, the Daimyo's Feudal Lord in the Land of Fire is the most luxurious. It would be a good place to relax and unwind.
After all, the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire had invited more than just him.
The daimyo of the three countries, including the Land of Wind and the Land of the Land of the Land, are all on the invitation list.
The Daimyo's Feudal Lord in the Land of Fire.
Royal palace residence.
On the magnificent long table, various precious ingredients were laid out.
It included many marine fish, whose strange appearance made one wonder if they grew by drinking nuclear wastewater.
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and chewed it slowly.
The delicious flavor exploded in my mouth instantly.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that among us, the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire would be the one who knows how to enjoy life the most. I've never even tasted such delicious fish before."
"As long as you enjoy your meal, that's all that matters. This kind of sea fish cost me a fortune to import from the Land of Sea."
The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire smiled and fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan.
Upon hearing this, the other Feudal Lord also curiously picked up a few pieces of fish to taste.
"This is excellent fish; it's definitely the best sea fish I've ever eaten."
"I really envy you all. Unlike my Land of Wind, which is so poor."
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind lavished praise upon him.
Unlike the other Feudal Lord.
The Land of Wind is located in the desert.
Let alone sea fish, it's even hard to find ordinary fish meat.
"Haha, we should be envious of you! You've managed to govern Sunagakure so well, unlike us, who are all a handful."
The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire said with a smile.
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind is considered one of the most ruthless among them.
They said they wouldn't give the funds, and they just refused.
This left Sunagakure destitute. If it weren't for the successive Kazekage using Magnet Release to mine gold and exchange it for supplies, the Sunagakure's life would probably have been even more miserable.
Under the strong discipline of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, Sunagakure had no choice but to passively submit to Feudal Lord.
"I've heard that the Kumogakure seems to have suffered a great loss recently?"
The expression on the Land of Fire Feudal Lord's face remained unchanged, but his smiling eyes shifted to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning beside him.
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's expression stiffened slightly.
"Yeah! It seems even one ward has been sealed off; quite a few ninjas have died!"
"In the end, he swallowed his anger. This isn't like the way the Land of Lightning does things."
The Daimyo of the Land of Earth, not one to shy away from stirring things up, watched the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning with a sly smile.
Iwagakure and Kumogakure are practically sworn enemies.
Every time the two major ninja villages went to war, it was almost equivalent to a contest of financial resources between the Feudal Lord behind them.
Now that he has the opportunity to kick someone when they're down, why would he pass up such a good chance?
The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire smiled slightly.
The Feudal Lord are not a monolithic entity.
These guys who smile at each other all day long, who knows how filthy their hearts are behind the scenes.
The five of them had secretly competed with each other countless times.
"I'm telling you, you didn't know about this, did you?"
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind smiled as he looked at the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning's cheek twitched slightly.
An inexplicable anger rose within me.
What should have been a pleasant meal was turned into a banquet where everyone mocked him.
He had previously interfered in matters concerning the future of Kumogakure and the Uchiha Mirai.
But Raikage A rejected his suggestion.
The reason given was that sending troops was not in the interest of Kumogakure, and that allowing the Uchiha Clan and Konoha to fight amongst themselves would be most beneficial to Kumogakure.
He doesn't care about any benefits or losses your Kumogakure may have.
As the highest-ranking Feudal Lord in a country, what he cared about was face and dignity!
His own ninja village was so humiliated by Konoha that he lost face at the Feudal Lord gathering.
This made him, who had always been pampered, feel extremely frustrated.
"I'm not eating this!"
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning slammed down his chopsticks, his face extremely grim, and turned to leave, abandoning the other Feudal Lord.
Why be so stingy?
"Exactly, they have no magnanimity at all."
The remaining few Feudal Lord watched his retreating figure with smiles.
The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan, his smile growing ever wider.
He knew the temperament of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning all too well.
Just as popular as the Cloud Ninja.
His own village's frustrating experience had already made him very unhappy.
With just a little guidance, this pent-up emotion will erupt.
Having suffered humiliation at this banquet today, they will certainly put even more pressure on Kumogakure.
The funds for this year in Kumogakure probably haven't been distributed yet, right?
Isn't that how you throw away the trouble?
