Chapter 282: 1 change to 1 and a half years

September 43, 9rd year of Konoha.

Under Xuanwu's instigation, Minato was pushed into the operating room. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the operation, Xuanwu personally supervised it.

Since two types of blood limits needed to be implanted, the operation took a long time. However, the implantation of the Byakugan gene was a piece of cake and it was completed in just half a year.

The key is magnetic escape, because the implant targets are both arms, it took a year and a half to complete. Minato's eyes had the stitches removed for six months before the implantation of the magnetic escape gene was completed.

The operation had already taken longer than the six months promised to Fukasaku.

For this reason, Fukasaku came to Konoha in person, and was relieved after learning that Xuanwu had been staying in the operating room. In fact, the Great Toad Sage did not necessarily want him to stay in Myoboku Mountain, as long as he did not show off in the Ninja World every day.

Whether it was Jiraiya attacking almost the entire Nadeshiko Village, or Genbu and Orochimaru blowing up the Hidden Cloud Village together, these were the future of the ninja world that the Great Toad Sage had never dreamed of.

As for the daimyo coup, it did happen, but it was completely different due to Xuanwu's intervention.

In the dream of the Great Toad Sage, the Third Hokage learned about the Daimyo's coup shortly after the end of World War II.

After discovering the secret of Daimyo Jintoku, Senso contacted Tsunade immediately. Due to the heavy losses suffered by Konoha in World War II, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not dare to solve the matter openly.

It would be a big deal if the daimyo wanted to overthrow the ninja village in his own country!

This is equivalent to a country's politics and economy joining forces to abolish its military. If other countries knew about this, they would definitely intervene. If it is not handled properly, it would be a disaster for Konoha.

Just imagine, if Daimyo Jintoku was pushed into a corner and asked the four major nations to send troops to help him pacify Konoha at the cost of a large amount of territory, the four major nations would definitely be happy to serve.

At that time, the Ninja World War broke out again, and Konoha did not have the financial support of the Daimyo. Not to mention that the village was in a weak period, even in its heyday it could not withstand the simultaneous siege of the four major countries. You have to know that they did not have another Senju Hashirama.

Therefore, the strategy adopted by the Third Hokage at that time was to pretend to be ignorant and secretly let a large number of Konoha ninjas disguise as wandering ninjas to join the daimyo's side. At the same time, he bribed the twelve guardian ninjas with huge benefits.

The Twelve Guardian Ninjas were not a monolithic group. Under the temptation of forbidden techniques such as "Thunder Dream Thunder Man" and "Active Transformation", six of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas rebelled in just two years. A large number of other ninjas who were originally loyal to the daimyo also failed to resist the temptation of various ninjutsu and chose to surrender to the enemy. After all, they were ninjas, and the temptation of money to them was far less than ninjutsu.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen felt the time was ripe, he ordered the three ninjas of Konoha to launch a silent general attack with a large number of elite ninjas.

Since the power in the hands of the daimyo had been infiltrated like a sieve, Obito only wanted to use the daimyo's funds for research and was not very loyal to him. He ran away with his cronies the first time he saw Tsunade, so the matter was quickly resolved.

However, Thousand Hands Herb was not so lucky. She was killed in the coup by Beiluhu, who had long coveted her bloodline.

After the overthrow of Daimyo Jintoku, in order to reduce the impact, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not purge the Fire Clan. He simply chose a relatively obedient person to be the daimyo, replaced six of the twelve guardian ninjas with his own people, assassinated all the hawkish officials, and ended the matter hastily. This also laid the seeds for the daimyo's future rebellion.

Because things were handled too quickly, by the time the other four major nations reacted, the best time to send troops had long been missed. In addition, it had only been two years since the Second Ninja World War, and they were all licking their wounds, so they just acquiesced.

At this point, the coup d'état of the original time and space daimyo ended.

It’s not like now, where it only took one day and one night from receiving the news to overthrowing the rule, but the degree of cruelty was far beyond the original time and space.

Thousands of ninjas died, the twelve guardian ninjas ran away, the Fire Clan was completely wiped out, the masked man appeared inexplicably, the daimyo's palace was blown to pieces, and the Senju Senso, who was supposed to have died, turned into the Fire Country's Bunsei Daimyo. With the strong support of Konoha, after a year and a half of sorting out, he has firmly grasped the politics and economy of the Fire Country in his own hands, and the Fire Country's military expenditure and material support to Konoha has increased again and again.

This made the other four major ninja villages extremely envious. In fact, they also had the same trouble of being constrained by their own daimyo. Now that Konoha has completely broken free from control, they can only beg their own daimyo to increase military spending. How can they not be envious!

If that's the case, why don't the four major ninja villages follow suit and stage a coup?

Well said. Firstly, they are afraid that their own daimyo will perform a great summoning technique. Secondly, they are not as bold as the Fire Nation's daimyo in plotting a rebellion. It would be bad if they killed their own daimyo for no reason and were seized upon by other countries to attack them.

To sum up, the Big Toad Immortal really doesn't dare to let Xuanwu run around.

...

After a year and a half, the door of the basement was pushed open again, and Xuanwu and Shuimen walked straight out of the room and into the yard.

It was noon, and feeling the warm sunshine, Xuanwu stretched unconsciously, "Huh, it's finally over, I'm so tired."

Minato also let out a breath of foul air, "Yeah, I'm almost done with it too."

This year and a half has exhausted them both.

Not long after the two of them came out, Kushina opened the window on the second floor, waved her hands at them and shouted, "Minato, Brother Xuanwu, you finally came out!"

Before he could finish his words, someone jumped down from upstairs and said, "Why did you take so long to come out? I'm almost bored to death every day."

After graduating, Kaori went on missions with Nawaki, leaving early and returning late every day. Her only friend Uchiha Mikoto also dated less frequently later on, so Kushina was basically the only one at the Xuanwu house during the day.

In the past, at least Minato could accompany her, and because Minato mastered the Flying Thunder God and was very powerful, he could take Kushina out of the village to play from time to time. But now, in such a big house, there is only a toad to play with her every day.

Having said that, Kushina walked up to Minato and was about to pinch his arm to express her dissatisfaction.

If it was in the past, Minato would definitely not dodge, but not now.

"Stop right there! How dare you hide!"

"Kushina, this really can't happen now."

"why?"

"you guess."

"Smelly Shuimen, stop right there, I can't deal with you anymore!"

The two of them ran away fighting and making noise.

Xuanwu looked at the two of them going away and couldn't help but laugh. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you want to flirt but you know to avoid people. Tsk, I'm a blind man, okay? It's okay for you to flirt in front of me."

Xiaobai: Then I’ll leave?

At this time, Gamashin came over and jumped onto Xuanwu's shoulder, "Xuanwu, Master Fukasaku asked me to tell you that it's time to return to Myobokusan."

Xuanwu replied: "Xin, please tell me when you go back. I haven't been to the Wet Bone Forest yet. Please give me another half a year."

"this..."

Xin felt a little embarrassed. He had been waiting here for almost a year, and he would not be able to complete his mission if he just went back.

Xuanwu took out three scrolls and handed them over. "Xin, when you go back, give the largest one to the Great Toad Immortal, the medium one to Lord Fukasaku, and keep the third one for yourself. Believe me, Lord Fukasaku won't make things difficult for you."

Xin asked curiously, "What's in there?"

"I can't tell you about those two. The one you have contains your favorite wine."

Toad Xin, who was still struggling just now, immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll go back and report right away!"

After saying that, he disappeared with a "bang".

Xuanwu raised two fingers proudly and said, "It's just a little toad, take it down."
