Under the secret and meticulous planning of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning, a conspiracy concerning the future of the Shinobi World quietly unfolds. Envoys from the Land of Lightning, carrying the Daimyo's secret orders, secretly travel between the noble residences of various countries in the Shinobi World.
Inside the daimyo's mansion in the Land of Wind, the lights were bright, but the doors and windows were tightly shut, as if deliberately concealing some secret. As soon as the envoy from the Land of Lightning took his seat, the daimyo and the leaders of the various noble families of the Land of Wind couldn't wait to speak, "Envoy of the Land of Lightning, I've heard that you've been traveling around trying to unite us against the Land of Fire. What is your reliance that makes us believe this is a sure-win situation?" His tone was somewhat probing, yet also revealed his apprehension towards the Land of Fire.
The envoy smiled slightly, took out an exquisite scroll from his robes, and slowly unfurled it. "Gentlemen, you have all witnessed the ambitions of Konoha in the Land of Fire. Backed by the power of ninjas, they have continuously expanded their influence, already destroying three countries. What's worse, the nobles of the Land of Tea and the Land of Artisans have been slaughtered. They are squeezing our nobles' living space. If they continue like this, even the commoners will rise above us, which is absolutely unacceptable to us nobles. This time, the Daimyo and Raikage of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning have personally decided to unite the nobles of all countries to jointly resist the Land of Fire. As long as we work together, we can not only protect our own interests, but also get a share of the spoils after we destroy the Land of Fire of Land of Fire."
The nobles of the Land of Wind, upon hearing this, still harbored some doubt that their nations could possibly stand against the Land of Fire. At this moment, the envoy revealed Hazuki Kin's theory of the Land of Fire's weaknesses. "Gentlemen, while Hazuki Kin is indeed a genius of the Land of Fire, he also has weaknesses. He relies too heavily on his own strength and neglects teamwork. Moreover, his ambition has made him many enemies. Now is our best opportunity. Otherwise, we should all relinquish our noble status."
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind Land of Wind fell into deep thought after hearing this. They knew that the Land of Fire's power was not to be underestimated, but the Land of Lightning's proposal gave them a glimmer of hope. Finally, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind stood up and said, "Emissary of the Land of Lightning, our Land of Wind is willing to join your alliance. However, we have one condition: after the Land of Fire is destroyed, the interests in the south must belong to our Land of Wind."
The envoy from the Land of Lightning nodded and said, "We can agree to this condition. After all, everyone is acting in their own best interests. However, nobles of the Land of Wind, are you truly certain? Releasing the Wind Demon sealed within the Valley of the Wind will have unimaginable consequences."
The nobles of the Land of Wind exchanged glances. Finally, a noble leader stepped forward and said, "We have made our decision. To preserve our noble status, for our own interests, we are willing to take the risk. We are driven to madness; there is no turning back."
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind nodded and said, "That's right, we have no way out. Envoy of the Land of Lightning, our Land of Wind with our military buildup as planned. Furthermore, we will release the Wind Demon sealed within the Valley of the Wind. With the Wind Demon's power, we believe we will surely defeat the Land of Fire."
The envoy from the Land of Lightning smiled slightly and said, "Very well, since you have made your decision, then our Land of Lightning will fully support you. We believe that with our joint efforts, we will surely be able to defeat the Land of Fire and gain a share of the spoils."
Inside the daimyo's mansion in the Land of Wind, the atmosphere became tense and solemn. The nobles of the Land of Wind were prepared for an adventure, knowing that this would be a war of life and death for them. The envoy from the Land of Lightning also saw his own opportunity in this war. They were all striving for their own interests, and the outcome of this war would determine their fate.
The nobles of the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Hot Water were also gathered. An old nobleman's eyes gleamed. "A share of the spoils? That's just empty talk. The wealth of the Land of Fire isn't so easily taken. What if we unite but still lose to Konoha? Wouldn't that be inviting trouble?"
Another nobleman said, "Your Land of Lightning attacked us before, and it was the Land of Fire that sent troops to help us. So we are still enemies. How can we trust you?" His words silenced the nobles present, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Seeing this, the envoy from the Land of Lightning smiled slightly and said calmly, "Nobles of the Land of Hot Water, I understand your words. However, the grudges between our Land of Lightning and the Land of Hot Water are things of the past. Now, we are all nobles, a community of shared interests. Everyone has witnessed Konoha's ambitions. They have already destroyed several countries, and our next target may be us. If we do not unite, we will be at their mercy. Therefore, we should put aside our past grievances and deal with our common enemy— Konoha."
The nobleman from the Land of Hot Water sneered, "That sounds nice, but why should we trust you from the Land of Lightning? What if you unite with other countries to destroy the Land of Fire, and then turn around and attack us?"
The envoy from the Land of Lightning shook his head. "Nobles of the Land of Hot Water, you are overthinking it. Although there have been unpleasant pasts between our Land of Lightning and the Land of Hot Water, those were due to conflicts of interest. Now that we have a common enemy, we should unite. Besides, our Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and Raikage have personally decided to unite the nobles of other countries to fight against the Land of Fire. I believe everyone is aware of the strength of our Land of Lightning. If our Land of Lightning harbors any ill intentions, I believe the other countries will not stand idly by."
The nobles of the Land of Hot Water remained somewhat skeptical. At this moment, the daimyo of the Land of Wind spoke up, "The representative of the nobles of the Land of Hot Water, the envoy of the Land of Lightning, is right. We have all seen Konoha's ambitions. If we don't unite, no one will have an easy time. Moreover, the envoy of the Land of Lightning has also pointed out Konoha's weakness. Although Hazuki Kin is powerful, he also has weaknesses. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat Konoha. Then, we can all share in the wealth of the Land of Fire."
The daimyo of the Land of Hot Water listened in silence for a moment, then said, "What you all say makes sense. However, I still have some concerns. What if we unite and still can't defeat Konoha? Wouldn't we be inviting trouble?"
The envoy from the Land of Lightning smiled, "Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water, you are worrying unnecessarily. Our Land of Lightning has reached agreements with several countries. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat Konoha. Moreover, we have a detailed plan for dividing the Land of Fire's wealth. Once we destroy the Land of Fire, Land of Fire riches will be distributed according to each country's contribution. As our ally, the Land of Hot Water will naturally receive a share."
The noble representative from the Land of Hot Water glanced at him, then asked, "So what is your plan for partitioning the land?"
