Tsunade glanced at the report and answered very simply.
"Uchiha Ren is angry."
Daimyo was stunned, and then he was shaking with anger.
"If he gets angry, he can ignore this Daimyo's order?"
"Uchiha is just the ninja clan of Konoha, and Temple is just a ninja organization. Who gives them the power to deal with the Land of Fire nobles!"
A nobleman in fine clothes stood up immediately.
"Fifth Hokage, Uchiha has seriously crossed the line this time!"
"All Uchiha Ninja who participated in the attack must be severely punished, and Uchiha Ren must come to apologize in person!"
Another noble spoke immediately.
"Dark Exchange House is involved in many industries. They destroyed their strongholds for no reason, and all the losses caused must be compensated."
"The property confiscated by them must also be returned in full!"
More and more nobles are echoing the message, and some even ask Konoha to restrict Uchiha Shrine and take back the police power controlled by Uchiha.
They dare to force Tsunade like this, not because they don't know Ren's strength.
On the contrary, they know better than anyone else that Uchiha has just received hundreds of billions of taels of war compensation from Land of Lightning.
Dark Exchange House is just an excuse.
The so-called severe punishment, compensation and return of property are just to tear off a piece of the huge and enviable war reparations and use this incident to blackmail Uchiha.
In the conference hall, the echoes became louder and louder.
"Uchiha must compensate!"
"Nothing less than the confiscated property and property must be spared!"
"If Uchiha Ren doesn't come to Daimyo Court to apologize in person, this matter will never be settled!"
A nobleman in charge of commerce reported the number directly.
"Dark Exchange House was destroyed, and the involved trade routes, casinos, taverns and underground transactions suffered huge losses. Including the dead and injured samurai and onmyoji, Uchiha must pay at least 30 billion taels!"
As soon as this number came out, even the nobles nearby couldn't help but look sideways.
Thirty billion taels!
Dark Exchange House Even if all the strongholds in Land of Fire are added up, they are not worth the price.
But the nobleman didn't have any guilty conscience.
Uchiha had just forced Land of Lightning to surrender, and the war compensation he received was more than 100 billion. As long as Daimyo Court and the nobles put pressure together, Konoha can only bow its head.
They've been doing this for a long time.
Ninjas have no land and are not engaged in production. They need to perform tasks to earn rewards. Daimyo Court controls the largest number of tasks with the highest rewards in Land of Fire. As long as the share of tasks is reduced, Konoha's finances will be immediately affected.
When Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was in power, every time Daimyo Court expressed dissatisfaction, Konoha would send someone to explain and apologize, and finally offered enough benefits to calm the anger of the nobles.
No matter how powerful the ninjas are, they still have to rely on them to survive.
This is the greatest confidence between Daimyo and the nobles.
Land of Fire Daimyo looked at Tsunade sitting below, and the fear originally caused by Uchiha slowly faded away.
He is not the only one attacking Konoha today.
Sitting in the conference hall are some of Land of Fire's most powerful nobles. The families, territories, industries and connections behind them are all over the country. As long as these people jointly reduce the tasks issued to Konoha, Konoha will soon feel the pressure.
What's more, Daimyo also has a reason to take action.
After Kumogakure was defeated, Uchiha's prestige had reached a level that he could not tolerate.
Single-handedly suppressed Fourth Raikage, Eight-Tails and Two-Tails, forcing Land of Lightning to surrender unconditionally. Uchiha Ren's name spread to almost every town in Land of Fire.
When those civilians talk about this war, they don't care at all how much compensation Land of Lightning paid to Daimyo Court. They only remember that Konoha defeated Kumogakure, and they only remember that Uchiha regained dignity for Land of Fire.
Some people even publicly declared that it was Konoha Ninja who protected Land of Fire, and it was Uchiha who defeated the enemy country. The person who truly has the power to determine the fate of the country is Hokage, not Daimyo sitting in Daimyo Court.
The voice of "Hokage is the real person in power of Land of Fire" has faintly overwhelmed the traditional argument of respecting Daimyo.
This makes Land of Fire Daimyo feel an unprecedented threat.
Daimyo Court can allow Konoha to be powerful, but it will never allow Konoha to be so powerful that it blocks the light of Daimyo, let alone Hokage to gain a public reputation that far exceeds Daimyo.
It just so happens that today's Fifth Hokage is not Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Tsunade is the granddaughter of Hashirama, and is the princess who was officially canonized by Land of Fire in the early years. In terms of seniority, she is even a generation higher than the current Daimyo.
Senju clan pacified Warring States and established Konoha's prestige. Uchiha's momentum from the victory, coupled with Tsunade's temper that never bowed, made Daimyo unconsciously fall into the disadvantage when facing her several times in the past.
But today is different.
The nobles collectively launched an attack, and the interests behind Dark Exchange House were widely involved.
Daimyo doesn't believe that Tsunade can continue to be tough.
He slowly sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "Tsunade, Uchiha this time crossed Daimyo Court and attacked Land of Fire noble property without authorization, which has caused dissatisfaction from all over the world."
"This Daimyo thinks that for the sake of Konoha just winning the war for Land of Fire, there is no need to hold Uchiha Ren personally accountable."
"But Uchiha Ninja who participated in the operation must be punished, the confiscated property must be returned, and the dead and injured must be compensated."
"This is the final bottom line for Daimyo Court."
When all the nobles heard this, their faces showed satisfaction.
These words seem to save face for Uchiha, but in fact every item is forcing Konoha to bow down.
As long as Tsunade agrees to return property and compensation, they can take advantage of the situation and come up with a specific amount and take a large chunk of the war compensation in the hands of Uchiha.
As for punishing Uchiha Ninja, it will further suppress the prestige Uchiha Shrine has just established.
A white-haired minister leaned back in his chair and softened his tone.
"Fifth Hokage, we don't want to make it difficult for Konoha."
"But the country has its rules, and the nobles have the dignity of the nobles. Uchiha just defeated Kumogakure, and they dared to kill Land of Fire inside. If they are not restrained in time, wouldn't they dare to break into Daimyo Court in the future?"
"As long as Konoha shows sincerity, there is still room for discussion on this matter."
The other person nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Fifth Hokage should know how many tasks Konoha gets from Daimyo Court every year. The two parties have cooperated for many years, and Daimyo Court is not willing to hurt the relationship because of Uchiha's impulse."
This is no longer a hint, but a clear threat.
Without compensation or punishment Uchiha, Daimyo Court will reduce Konoha's tasks.
The discussion in the meeting hall gradually died down.
Everyone looked at Tsunade, waiting for her to come up with a compensation plan.
Tsunade never lost his temper.
She just sat there quietly, waiting for all the nobles to finish saying what they wanted to say, then took out a thick agreement from beside her and put it on the table in front of her.
"Are you done?"
The noble who first proposed 30 billion in compensation frowned.
"Fifth Hokage, what's your attitude?"
