Turning the World Upside Down! A Vicious Scheme to Kill with a Borrowed Knife and Leave No Heirs!
Tsunade looked at him.
"Since your decree requires Konoha force to be implemented, you should not rely on Konoha while treating the tasks as charity, let alone threaten Hokage with reductions in tasks."
"In the past, Daimyo Court controlled the source of tasks, and Konoha relied on you to maintain operations, so you are used to using tasks to check and balance Konoha."
"Now, the task volume provided by Uchiha has completely replaced Daimyo Court."
"You are unwilling to cooperate with Konoha, but Konoha can still operate normally."
"But if Konoha doesn't cooperate with you, can you still sit here as firmly as you did in the past?"
After the last words fell, everyone in the meeting hall shut their mouths.
It wasn't until this moment that they discovered that the positions of both parties had been completely reversed.
In the past, Konoha was worried about losing Daimyo Court's mission.
Now they are worried about losing the protection of Konoha.
That 100 billion agreement directly cut off the rope that Daimyo and the nobles had tied around Konoha's neck for nearly a hundred years.
Tsunade looked at the changing faces of everyone, and couldn't help but think of the conversation Tobirama had with her not long ago.
The person who proposed the temporary suspension of the employment relationship is not Ren.
But Tobirama Senju.
Second Hokage, who established Konoha's various systems with his own hands, understood after reading the agreement signed between Uchiha and Konoha that this was the best opportunity for Konoha to get rid of the checks and balances of Daimyo Court's mission.
When One Country, One Village System was founded, Konoha did not have a stable industry, nor enough land and tax revenue. It could only maintain the operation of the village by accepting entrustments from Daimyo, nobles and merchants.
Daimyo Court controls the largest task supply, and naturally has the means to check and balance Konoha.
Konoha Every military expansion, every important policy, and even Hokage candidates have to take Daimyo Court's attitude into consideration.
This shackles lasted for decades.
But the hundreds of billions of engineering orders provided by Uchiha gave Konoha a task source that could replace Daimyo Court for the first time.
Tobirama did not let Tsunade miss the opportunity.
Since Daimyo and the nobles rely on the power of Konoha to protect their power, they should be allowed to recognize who is truly irreplaceable.
Land of Fire Daimyo finally saw this clearly.
He slowly sat back down, the anger on his face turning heavy.
"Tsunade, we can't just think about this matter."
"Daimyo Court uses task share every year to adjust the relationship with Konoha, but that is also to maintain the balance between the country and the Ninja Village."
"Uchiha was able to come up with 100 billion taels just because it just received hundreds of billions of war compensation from Land of Lightning."
"This money will eventually run out."
"The railway and Myriad City will eventually be built."
He looked at Tsunade and his tone obviously slowed down.
"Uchiha is just a ninja."
"It may be able to provide Konoha with massive tasks in a short period of time, but it cannot support the operation of the entire village forever."
"Once the project is completed, Konoha will still need Daimyo Court and Land of Fire the tasks of nobles and merchants from all over the world."
"You can't make an enemy of the entire Land of Fire just for the sake of Uchiha."
All the ministers immediately followed suit.
"Yes, Uchiha no matter how much money you have, one day it will be exhausted."
"Konoha and Land of Fire have cooperated for nearly a hundred years. How can the past relationship be completely destroyed just because of an agreement?"
"Fifth Hokage, it's not too late for you to take back your decision now."
Tsunade was not swayed by these words.
"Konoha is not an enemy of Land of Fire."
"I'm just telling you that Konoha will give priority to tasks released by Uchiha in the future."
"After the railway is completed, it will need long-term maintenance, and Myriad City will also need ninja garrison. As the trade routes between the two countries are connected, the number of transportation, protection and clearance tasks will only increase."
"Uchiha has become Konoha's largest task customer."
"According to the task remuneration and cooperation scale, priority will be given to large customers. What's the problem?"
Land of Fire Daimyo lowered his head.
"What about Daimyo Court?"
"At the back of the line."
These four words silenced everyone present.
Tsunade continued, "Konoha Ninja has a limited quantity and it is impossible to meet everyone's requirements at the same time."
"Uchiha has given more tasks and higher remuneration, and is willing to cooperate with Konoha for a long time. Konoha will naturally give priority to protecting their interests."
"From now on, Konoha will not accept any mission that harms the interests of Uchiha."
When a noble heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What does harming Uchiha's interests mean?"
"For example, protecting Dark Exchange House's property, transferring property for the sponsor behind the scenes, and escorting those who participated in the reward Sharingan away from Land of Fire."
Tsunade looked at him.
"Konoha will not accept these tasks no matter how high the reward is."
"Following up, Konoha will also cooperate with Uchiha to continue to encircle and suppress the remaining forces of Dark Exchange House and identify all the participants behind the scenes."
Many people in the meeting hall stood up.
Who is the force behind Dark Exchange House?
It is these Daimyo, nobles, ministers and wealthy businessmen present!
They used Bounty Exchange to issue shady rewards, eliminate political opponents, compete for industry, and assassinate opponents. The account books Uchiha confiscated this time must contain a large number of transaction records.
Konoha cooperates with Uchiha to continue the encirclement and suppression, which means that Tsunade has clearly stood against them.
Uchiha has more than just a few Bounty Exchange strongholds to liquidate.
And their financial backers hiding behind the scenes!
A minister clutched his sleeves, his palms covered in cold sweat.
Another noble looked at Daimyo subconsciously.
The person who just now clamored for Ren to come and plead guilty in person did not even dare to look at Tsunade at this moment.
Land of Fire Daimyo leaned on the back of the chair.
"Tsunade, think twice."
"Dark Exchange House is very involved. If the investigation continues, the entire Land of Fire will be in turmoil."
"Uchiha defeated Kumogakure and received hundreds of billions of taels in compensation. But the more powerful it is, the greater the threat to Konoha."
"Once Uchiha fully grasps Konoha's mission and finances, even your Hokage Position may be affected."
At this time, the noble who had previously asked for compensation suddenly thought of something and took a step forward.
"Fifth Hokage, since Uchiha can provide tasks, Daimyo Court can also issue larger tasks!"
Tsunade looked at him.
The nobleman quickly said, "Uchiha received hundreds of billions of taels in compensation from Land of Lightning, and controlled a large amount of industry. As long as Konoha takes action to eradicate Uchiha Clan, all the money will belong to Konoha!"
Everyone in the meeting hall was stunned for a moment, and then they all came to their senses.
Use the hands of Konoha to destroy Uchiha!
It can not only get rid of the Ren that threatens them, but also make both Konoha and Uchiha lose. When the war is over, hundreds of billions of taels of compensation and the Uchiha industry can also be divided up by them.
"Not bad!"
"Uchiha's unauthorized attack on the Land of Fire nobles is tantamount to rebellion!"
"Daimyo Court can officially issue a task to Konoha, asking Konoha to eliminate Uchiha!"
The nobleman became more and more excited as he talked.
"All the money Uchiha currently has can be given to Konoha as task rewards."
"In addition, Daimyo Court will also pay an additional payment of the highest standard to S-Rank Mission!"
The other nobles nodded one after another, secretly praising this vicious plan of killing people with a borrowed knife.
