Chapter 273: Defense of the Daimyo!

"This battle led by the Sannin Orochimaru resulted in the Sandaime Raikage being injured, the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki being seriously injured, the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki dying, the Two-Tails escaping, the defense of Kumogakure Village collapsing, and a large amount of strategic information being leaked."

"and--"

"On the same day, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder was assassinated again!"

"A week later, the Sandaime Raikage Ai will take his son to Yunming City to plead guilty to the angry daimyo!"

"I think this is an opportunity!"

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village, the conference room of the Hokage Building.

There were only three people sitting in the conference room at this time.

The person sitting in the first place is over middle-aged, with a donkey face, wearing a fan-like headdress with three flame patterns, and holding a short fan.

It was nearly June, and the weather was starting to get hotter. At this time, he was holding a fan and shaking it to cool off.

The two people sitting next to him were the two most powerful people in Konoha Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi as the Hokage, and Danzo Shimura as the Hokage's assistant and leader.

The identity of the person in charge is naturally self-evident, it is the lord of the Fire Country, the Daimyo.

"So, Danzo, what do you want to do?"

At this time, the daimyo glanced at Danzo who was speaking, and asked calmly with a pinched tone,

"Right now, the Kingdom of Thunder has suffered heavy losses. As long as one attack is needed, they can completely lose their voice in the Third Ninja War."

"And this blow lies in the military expenses that the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder promised to pay to Kumogakure Village."

"So, I would like to ask His Highness to issue a mission."

Danzo narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes,

"Please invite the great name of the Kingdom of Thunder to come and sit down with me from the Kingdom of Fire~"

"Impossible!" The name of the Fire Country's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Although Danzo Shimura did not explicitly say what he wanted to do to the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder, it was also right to target a Daimyo, even if it was an enemy country's Daimyo, without mentioning threatening his life and just asking him to come and sit for a while. The position of daimyo is disrespectful.

What's more, I can't understand the meaning behind the words of the Fire Country's famous name.

The reason why daimyo and nobles are superior to ninjas who are far stronger than them is because of their control over the power and economy of the Fire Country.

On the surface, Danzo's move was for war, but in fact he was used to break down the high platform that separated the classes and weaken the authority of their group.

"Hiruzhan, you are lacking in discipline for your subordinates~"

At this time, the Fire Country Daimyo did not give Danzo a look, but instead glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting nearby and smoking a cigarette.

"Danzo, don't mention this matter again." Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke, and then he was about to persuade him in a roundabout way,

"It's just your highness."

Before he could finish speaking, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire interrupted with a look of amazement:

"Huo, but having said that, this battle was really beautiful."

"He can single-handedly fight against the three masters of Kumogakure and create opportunities for his teacher to surprise Kumogakure. How powerful is this child named Uchiha Ci?"

"Is he your chosen candidate for the Fourth Hokage, Hiruzen?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, "The strategy for this battle was formulated by Orochimaru. As the commander-in-chief, he is the biggest contributor, and I intend to let him."

Hearing this, the Fire Country Daimyo sighed, closed his fan, tapped the table twice, and said:

"However, although Kumogakure suffered heavy losses this time, Konoha's side may not be much better off."

"I heard, Sandaime, your disciple Orochimaru and disciple Uchiha Ci have disappeared?"

"What a pity~ Such a talented pair of master and apprentice fell here."

"Let's discuss this matter again~"

After saying that, the Fire Country Daimyo stood up and left the meeting room without saying another word.

Shimura Danzo was left in the conference room staring at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a dark expression.

"Hiruzhan, I told you a long time ago,"

"This method is too weak, and it is impossible for this guy to agree!"

"If you ask me, I should just send someone to pretend to be a ninja from another country, intimidate the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder to stop allocating funds for the war, and completely sweep Kumogakure off the card table!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head,

"You still don't understand."

"At this point, there are too many people who want to kill the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder. Moreover, the reason why the Daimyo mentioned this loss is also implying that Kumogakure has not really broken his bones this time, as long as he blames Konoha , arousing the anger of the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder, Yunyin is still capable of fighting. "

"There is no way a daimyo would bet on the Fire Nation to do such a risky thing."

"As the saying goes, if the king doesn't see the king, everything will still be around."

Danzo Shimura frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen held up his cigarette and chuckled.

Of course he would not tell Danzo that he was doing this just to put some pressure on His Highness and to explore his thoughts.

As for the situation in the Kingdom of Thunder,

"I said that at this point, there are many people who want to pour dirty water on Konoha, and it is still unknown where Kumogakure's remaining firepower will be aimed."

"so,"

"The Daimyo of the Land of Thunder cannot die!"

"At least, until he accepts the confession from the Sandaime Raikage Ai."

"We have to protect him instead!"

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, recalling the top-secret information Orochimaru sent back the day before, as well as the crazy plan originally planned by Kumogakure.

"It's simply baffling!"

Shimura Danzo's expression darkened, and he stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He knew where the monkey was going to urinate when he saw him raise his legs. How could he not know when Hiruzen looked at him?

This guy must be hiding something from himself.

boom!

His face became darker and darker, Danzo simply snorted coldly, turned around, smashed the door and left, leaving a sentence,

"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

After leaving the Hokage's office,

Danzo walked quickly towards the south side of the Hokage Building without stopping.

He didn't know what Monkey wanted to do, but what he knew was that Uchiha Ci and Orochimaru were his subordinates, and the victory was also attributed to him.

And the Fire Country Daimyo and Sarutobi Hiruzen were pissed in the same pot.

Today the monkey asked him to collide with the daimyo. In his eyes, it was clear that he wanted to squeeze him out of the card table and pave the way for his disciples.

Because this contribution is really great!

The achievements made by Uchiha and Orochimaru, master and disciple, were even great enough to change the entire pattern of the Third Ninja War!

All important information on Kumogakure's various strategic garrison, outposts, camps, attack plans, etc. were leaked, which meant that Konoha was able to pin down Kumogakure in the direction of Tian no Kuni with a small number of troops.

Coupled with the annihilation of the Blood Pond clan, Kumogakure's plan to cross the Hell Valley for a surprise attack was completely ruined.

In one fell swoop, the two holes in the northern Tian Country and Tang Country were blocked. If Kumogakure wanted to invade, he would have to cross another country and invade from the Iron Country. However, as a neutral country where the war ends, the Iron Country is of great significance. special,

As long as we go one step further and make the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder refuse to allocate funds to Kumogakure, we can completely eliminate the threat from the north!

That means that the roots of his Danzo,

Completed the feat of defeating a major country in the ninja world with an ANBU-affiliated organization!

Such achievements are not without opportunities for him to get a glimpse of the position of Hokage.

Thinking of this, Danzo's eyes turned cold.

"Daimyo. What the hell!"

"If you dare to block my way, you will die even if you are the emperor!"

At this moment, I don’t know if he is thinking about the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder or the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire.

And as my thoughts turned around,

Danzo, who was walking quickly, was already standing in front of a door with two red and white fan emblems printed on it.

Raise your hand and knock on the door three times.

This is the residence of the police minister of the Uchiha clan, the largest wealthy family in Konoha.

And at this time,
