Chapter 301: Force me to abdicate? Then you won't have an easy life either

As a daimyo, he was a man who cared about his reputation. Even if he was furious, he would never say that it was his fault.

Since that is not possible, then just push the problem to the staff.

After all, the daimyo chose not to pay Konoha's money in order to vent his anger, and it was thanks to the advice of his staff that the daimyo decided to do so.

So when Konoha hit rock bottom and rebounded, the first to suffer and be dragged out as a sacrifice were the staff.

Moreover, the daimyo has many aides around him, so he would not feel any pain at all if he killed two of them.

"Daimyo, please spare me, please spare me!!!"

The shrill plea for mercy ended with a scream, and the poor and miserable aide lost his head, chopped off by the palace guards of the Daimyo Prefecture.

Became the first victim of the clash between Daimyofu and Konoha.

"Send someone to Konoha right now to deliver the money. Write a letter to the Hokage in my name. In view of Konoha's difficult financial situation, I cannot bear to let the civilians of Konoha live a difficult life. Therefore, the Daimyo is willing to directly send two years of development funds over there."

Is Daimyo angry?

Definitely angry.

Does he want to give money?

In no mood.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

Because it was clearly written in the letter that in Konoha, the Third Hokage had already issued a similar announcement, which meant that everyone in Konoha knew that the Third Hokage was reducing the military!!

Reduce the size of Konoha's ninjas.

It won't be long before this news spreads throughout the ninja world.

Even the daimyo didn't dare to gamble whether the Third Hokage was serious.

It would be fine if it was just to vent anger, but the announcement has already been released, and even the ninjas in several border camps have been withdrawn. What does this mean?

This means that Sarutobi Hiruzen is serious!!!

He was not joking, nor was he just pretending to force the emperor to abdicate and calling it a day. This guy really wanted to call the people back.

There weren't enough ninjas guarding the border camp, and there was no telling when the enemy would come running to our house.

Without anyone to guard it, the disaster that happened two years ago could break out at any time.

The Daimyo didn't want to see the Fire Country in chaos again, nor did he want to see his wealth being plundered by people from other villages, or his own people being killed and robbed.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you deserve to die! How dare you threaten me like this!!"

There is no doubt that the Third Hokage's move of forcing the daimyo to abdicate directly hit the daimyo's weak spot.

If the ninjas in the border camp had not withdrawn, and if Konoha had not issued a similar announcement, the daimyo would at most have cursed a few words and then ignored the Third Hokage.

In this case, the only explanation is that the Third Hokage was anxious.

But at the moment it’s no longer a matter of urgency or not.

Konoha issued a disarmament announcement, and many ninjas in the border camps have been withdrawn. Such behavior is no less than sticking a knife in the daimyo's kidney.

So Daimyo immediately became timid.

Give money, give money!!

Isn't there a problem with Konoha's finances? I will give you the money right away.

And he gave her two years at a time. Now you, the Third Hokage, will have nothing to say, right?

If you still use finance as an excuse and initiate disarmament, then you are wrong.

In the future, the Daimyo of Wind Country will dare to force the Sand Village to disarm and force it to take the elite route. That's because the Daimyo of Wind Country knows that if he does so, no one in the Sand Village will dare to offend him.

Besides, there aren’t that many things in the Land of Wind for the Sand Village to protect.

On the other hand, the Fire Nation is not doing well.

The Fire Kingdom is a rich place, which cannot be compared with the harsh and terrible place like the Wind Kingdom.

Not to mention enemies sneaking in to cause trouble, even if it was just a group of bandits running to the Land of Fire to cause chaos, it would cause the daimyo to feel pain for a while.

Therefore, even though the daimyo was furious, he still gritted his teeth and paid the money.

Let's solve the current problem first, as for the future... Sarutobi Hiruzen, we'll see, you're just shouting about disarmament, aren't you? I don't believe you can always sit on the throne of Hokage.

If you force me, you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, will not have an easy life either.

"Go and invite the other staff over."

The staff who accompanied him today have become punching bags and victims. They have been bullied. The daimyo needs to summon other staff to give him advice.

Since the Third Hokage chose to force the emperor to abdicate in order to get money, the Daimyo had no choice but to cooperate.

I will give you the money, but you, the Third Hokage, will never get a good reputation. I will help you promote yourself so that everyone in the ninja world can see the true face of you, the Third Hokage.

Konoha was already in chaos at this time.

That’s right, it’s a mess. I don’t mean it literally, but it’s really a mess.

As the Third Hokage's announcement came out, the civilians of Konoha hadn't even reacted yet, but a large number of Genin were already furious.

In the ninja world, although Konoha has the largest number of ninjas, Genin accounts for a large proportion of them, and most of these Genin are the kind of Genin who have no upper limit but are stuck at the lower limit.

I can only make ends meet by taking on some low-level tasks.

Unfortunately, ninja is a full-time profession, and once these ninjas are laid off, they will face the situation of having no food to eat.

Therefore, within just two hours after the announcement was released, the village was in chaos.

The police department had to send in additional personnel to maintain public order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and thus drag down the Uchiha.

The Uchiha didn’t care whether those Genin in the village, who were like consumables, would be laid off or have no food to eat. They only cared about themselves.

You can go without food, but please don't cause trouble at this time, causing us Uchiha to suffer as well.

Then, a spectacular scene happened.

A large number of ninjas ran to the Hokage's office building to protest, hoping that the Hokage's office would revoke the announcement and give up the idea of ​​disarmament.

If they really choose to lay off the troops, at least several thousand ninjas and their families will face the situation of having no income and being unable to make ends meet.

“Don’t we need to maintain order?”

Standing on the hillside outside the Anbu base, looking at the densely packed figures standing in front of the Hokage's office building, Tsunade couldn't help but begin to worry about the Third Hokage.

Even if this matter can be resolved, the reputation of the Third Hokage will be greatly affected.

The Anbu is responsible for maintaining law and order?

what do you think?

"This is the job of the Police Department, and aren't the Hokage Guards helping out as well?"

It would be better for the Anbu not to interfere in such rough work as maintaining law and order. Besides, the person affected is the Third Hokage, not Hinata Shizuka, so he is not in a hurry.

You really made a good suggestion.

Tsunade tilted her head to glance at Shizuka's profile and found that she didn't know how to complain.

The suggestion is good, but it may cost you your reputation and may offend people.

Not to mention these angry ninjas, I'm afraid the daimyo must hate the old man to death by now.

As a blood relative, Tsunade knew very well what kind of person the daimyo was.
