Chapter 362 Daming: He slandered me!

The joint delegation had just left the castle tower.

The rumors had already spread.

[Shock, the daimyo assassinated his subordinates, is it a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality! ]

[The daimyo wanted to crush the daimyo to ashes after the terrorist attack on the castle tower! ]

[Suppress the new forces, the Fire Country will never allow any forces that disobey! ]

…

It was almost a headline party like this.

In order to spread the rumors quickly, the pharmacist Nono was specially transferred back from the Tea Country.

Strike first and gain the upper hand!

Once these rumors took root in the minds of the people of the Fire Country, no matter how the daimyo and nobles promoted them later, people would have a preconceived idea.

And several territories that resisted the daimyo were mysteriously wiped out.

So, the rumor that the daimyo wanted to take the opportunity to deal with the forces that disobeyed him also spread quickly.

That's it.

Before the daimyo of the Fire Country could react, he had already been blamed.

Although the messenger used a carrier pigeon to report in advance after leaving the castle tower, for some reason, the pigeon "disappeared" halfway.

In addition to propaganda and small actions, the castle tower also began to gather combat forces.

The Tea Kingdom has now completely turned into a castle tower, and it does not need so many people to sit in it. Uchiha Xiang, the quasi-shadow, and the ninja can be withdrawn.

Just send a few teams to be responsible for "protecting" the Daimyo of the Tea Kingdom.

Now the key to solving the problem is no longer on him, but on the castle tower.

If the castle tower is not solved, no one can think of taking the Tea Kingdom back from them. In addition, most of the joint delegation died in the castle tower (out of more than a dozen messengers, only one survived), and the Daimyo of the Fire Kingdom must give an "explanation" to other Daimyo.

Even if it is just for this, the castle tower must be dealt with.

In addition to the Tea Kingdom, the River Kingdom, the Wind Kingdom Mining Area, and other areas of the castle tower only left a small number of troops, and all other ninjas began to retreat.

This time, the castle tower also seized a good opportunity to attack.

The Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Water were busy with other things, and they would not help much even if the envoys died.

After all, the envoys sent out were just to make up the numbers, and if they died, they died. They would not really take action regardless of their own situation.

Only the Fire Kingdom had no way to retreat.

After all, you are the leader of the joint mission. Now so many people have died. If you, the leader, do not step forward, how will the younger brothers see you? .

Now, even if you say that the castle tower did not do it, no one will believe it, and they are unwilling to believe it.

There are many people who want to see the Fire Kingdom suffer, at least all the daimyo in the joint mission are like this, they are completely secretly fanning the flames, fearing that the daimyo and the castle tower will not fight.

Who made the Fire Kingdom too rich, making people drool, but because of the existence of Konoha, they have returned empty-handed again and again.

Now they have the opportunity to see the internal strife in the Fire Kingdom, and they are eager to cheer for the castle tower.

Of course, this is just a secret thought.

On the surface, he naturally supported the Fire Country Daimyo. After all, they were all nobles and naturally could not betray their own class.

The Fire Country Daimyo learned everything after the envoys rushed back to Kyoto.

After knowing that all the envoys of the Daimyo were dead except for the one he sent, he immediately put the blame on the castle tower.

But before he could publicly accuse the castle tower, he found that the whole Fire Country was full of news that he sent people to "assassinate" the other party.

Not only that, but also those guys he used to dislike were dead.

The problem was that the crime was pinned on him, the Daimyo.

Although the Daimyo was indeed very happy that those guys were dead, he was very dissatisfied when the crime was pinned on himself.

"Damn it!"

"How dare these low-class people spread such rumors!"

"They slandered me!"

...

The Daimyo was not even in the mood to drink and have fun.

Angry!

Too angry!

As the supreme being of the Land of Fire, he had never been humiliated like this. Even Konoha had to be extremely respectful to him, and even the promotion of Hokage required his permission (formally).

Now he was blamed for several things, how could he not be angry?

The consequences of the daimyo's anger can be imagined.

So, the plan that had been prepared was immediately implemented, and it was much bigger than planned.

The Fire Temple, the Guardian Ninja, the Ninja Village (in the form of a small family), the wild ninja... and the like began to gather.

At the same time, a large number of foot soldiers and samurai also took action.

After all, the castle tower is within the territory of the Land of Fire, so these ordinary troops can also be used, even if they are used for transportation and cannon fodder, and consume the enemy's kunai and detonating tags.

And the daimyo also announced that the castle tower would capture the envoys of the joint delegation because they killed them, so they would be taken to Kyoto for trial.

As for Konoha, it remained neutral and did not help either side.

Although Konoha is a military organization of the Fire Country and has funding from the Daimyo, the relationship is not as good as advertised.

Double Jade!

But the consensus of the Fire Country.

That is, the Hokage and the Daimyo have the same status, and neither side is satisfied with this.

The radicals among the guardian ninjas think that the Fire Country does not need double jades, only the Daimyo's jade is enough.

Therefore, the Fire Country Daimyo will naturally not let Konoha take action.

He thinks that he can easily deal with a "mere" Konoha affiliated force.

With the number of ninja troops exceeding more than 2,000, the Daimyo thinks that it is easy to capture the castle tower with less than a few hundred ninjas (according to his intelligence).

This time, he wants to make these lowly ninjas understand a truth.

Nobles cannot be insulted. Ninjas can only survive in the ninja world by being their dogs.

Yes, in the eyes of the nobles, ninjas are their dogs.

As for civilians? .

In the eyes of the nobles, they are not even living beings, but production tools and consumables, even worse than ninjas.

It can only be said that the nobles in the ninja world are more "celestial dragons" than "celestial dragons".

If they can do something, they will not do nothing.

More than 2,000 ninjas, tens of thousands of foot soldiers and samurai!

This formation made the whole ninja world look at it sideways.

Unfortunately, in the face of the actions of the Fire Country, the castle tower just quietly built a fortress and defense line outside the castle tower.

It was not built too far, but only expanded outward by about a hundred kilometers.

It only takes less than two hours for a low ninja to cross using the instant body technique, and it may only take dozens of minutes for a jonin.

This area covered by the defense line is about tens of thousands of square kilometers, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the area occupied by the United Fruit in the River Country.

But most of the land over there cannot be used, while the land in the Land of Fire can be used as long as it can be developed, without any waste.

And this area is not small.

For example, the Land of Grass is only a few hundred thousand square kilometers in size. If the castle tower occupies this area, it can be called a "country within a country".

Although this kind of thing is very common for nobles, it is very different for ninjas.

Just like Konoha Village, except for the village land, the land outside strictly belongs to the Land of Fire, and the development potential has long been locked.

That is why the village covets the hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land on the Castle Tower.

This is something that can completely belong to the ninja. Once it is obtained, it can reduce the dependence on the nobles.

Now Konoha is extremely dependent on the Land of Fire for all kinds of materials, especially food.

Not to mention other aspects, as long as the Land of Fire cuts off their food input, Konoha will be short of food in an instant, and there will be too many ways to deal with them.

If it is the Castle Tower, the style will be different.

Because they didn't ask the Fire Nation for help in any aspect, they were free from dependence and had autonomy.

They just ignored the Daimyo and that made the village leaders envious.

They definitely couldn't develop the wilderness, but they were brave enough to seize the achievements of others.

They were neutral now for future plans.
