Konoha vs. One Piece

Chapter 240 The Daimyo's Ambition

This is the residence of the fire country daimyo.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
Behind a small wooden door, there was a hasty knock on the door.

"Come in!"

With a creak, the door was only ajar, and the man-made lake and arch bridge in the backyard were just opened. At this time, it was gradually entering summer. On the gazebo in the middle of the lake full of budding lotus flowers, His Excellency the Fire Nation Daimyo was lying On a reclining chair, there are a few attendants next to him fanning him with tall plantain fans, and there is a tea table next to him with some refreshing fruits.

The person who came had a long beard hanging down to his chest, he was the left minister of the country of fire.

He walked up to the daimyo in front of the reclining chair.

"Good day, Your Highness."

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense like this, there are no people now."

The daimyo of Fire Nation slightly opened his squinted eyes, and waved his hand to stop the maid who was still fanning the wind: "Okay, you guys go down."

To make Minister Zuo come to visit him at his mansion, no matter what the reason is, he will not let these maids sit by and listen. This is the most basic vigilance of a daimyo of the Land of Fire.

After all the maids left, something squirmed in the air, and the figure of a bald monk suddenly appeared in the small pavilion from the void.

Minister Zuo is not surprised by this. The contemporary Fire Nation daimyo can be said to be quite a cunning guy. Generally speaking, although Hokage nominally treats the daimyo's ministers, even the appointment and dismissal must be approved by the daimyo, but he has no extraordinary power. Ordinary mortals, even if they hold the lifeblood of ninjas [money and food], they are just cash machines for ninjas.

Not only Konoha, but the daimyo candidates in every village in the ninja world are actually influenced by Kage to a large extent. Under normal circumstances, Konoha would not allow such a talented son to ascend the daimyo throne. It is in the interests of Ninja Village that everyone in the five major countries during the Fourth Ninja World War looks like an idiot.

However, contemporary daimyo is an exception.When he succeeded to the throne, he successfully seized the great opportunity of being killed in the Second Ninja War during the Second Ninja War. The mediocre elder brother who became the daimyo after his death made a perfect time difference, and by the time the third generation was free to solve his problem, he had already confirmed his identity.

Over the years, the Temple of Fire, the second ninja force in the Land of Fire, was born, and the Twelve Guardians who would have appeared in the future, and even Konoha was frequently hostile by other countries in these years, there are many kinds of things There is a figure of the land of fire daimyo behind them.

The three generations of Hokage who were able to force him to send his own son to him as the guardian of the Twelve Warriors in the original history, his wrist is evident.

Just as Guardian Twelve is the dispute between Hema and Asma about two jades in one country, Daimyo of the Fire Country has always hoped that he can become the true master of this country, and he did the same.

Then?

Then he was killed by Konoha.Sarutobi Asuma spent a lot of effort and brainwashed for a long time to set things right, and returned to Konoha to become his own prince, and the horses and others were scattered, until decades later, the corpses were all cold. The country daimyo used the method that he planned to use on Konoha but failed to use it in time. There was a final swan song of the old era, and then he died happily. Daimyo Nokuni's way in the future life.

No matter how good the tricks are, if Konoha really wants to flip the table, he really has no resistance at all.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was able to tolerate the existence of the temple of fire, but he was too weak to say that he was too weak to threaten Konoha.Konoha's is a force integrated by almost all ninja clans of a certain size in the Land of Fire under the pressure of the Senju Uchiha clan. Those who did not join Konoha, such as the Fuma and Earth Spider clans, are almost dead now.

The daimyo still didn't understand that no matter how much he played tricks and forced Hiruzaru Sarutobi to make more compromises, once the other party decided to deal with him, the daimyo of the land of fire, he would still be powerless to fight back.

For example, standing next to him now, this monk named Hongfa can be said to be one of the strongest monks in the Temple of Fire, but it is completely vulnerable to Konoha.

Of course, he did hit hard against some ordinary rebellious ninjas or wandering ninjas, but.But let alone facing Sarutobi Hiruzen or Shimura Danzo, maybe the current Hatake Kakashi can fight him back and forth.

"Tell me, Your Excellency Minister Zuo, do you have any bad news for me?"

The Fire Nation daimyo patted himself on the forehead: "Which family's land has been occupied again? Who is crying outside the government?"

Konoha gave up so much land, and every day a new big landowner became unlucky.These guys who used to be entrenched and domineering are now ruined in the face of irresistible forces.

When other villages came, they didn’t just take away their land. In fact, for them, as long as the land was theirs, it didn’t matter whether it was Konoha or another village that took over their tasks. How could it be possible to let them, the defeated ones, still hold these fertile lands and continue to enjoy the dividends?

Although ninjas will not take the initiative to attack them, it is inevitable that their property will be seized—and they have nothing to do. Without force, they cannot keep their land at all. Even if someone occasionally raises ordinary ninjas, it will not be a village. opponent.

The existence of a super-powerful military group like Konoha may not be aware of it at ordinary times, but now, they can deeply understand how miserable it is without shelter.

Facing Konoha who directly gave up the land, they couldn't influence each other's decision at all.Konoha offered anything to take back their homeland, but the other party rejected them all, and then they suddenly realized that they had nothing to do.Even if there was a daring person who wanted to go to Konoha's gate to make a fuss, he was thrown out like garbage by the patrolling ninja before he got close.

Some people are not afraid of death, and the end result is that their throats are cut open by Konoha's people. Konoha seems to have lost his mind, completely indifferent to his future resources, and kills them painfully.

These people are used to being respected by Konoha's people because they were originally task entrustors. They even came to Konoha to ask for an explanation. After they really saw the blood, their minds were slightly dazzled by the huge loss of wealth. calm down a little.

So now, these guys who lost their land, apart from daring to go to the house of the fire country daimyo to make a fuss, dare not fart in front of Konoha.

The daimyo was disturbed by these people, and he also took corresponding actions. He sent people to question Hokage, and even sent people from the Temple of Fire to participate in the frontal battle, but so what?
Nothing will change.

He used to be very ambitious and wanted to change the situation where Konoha was suppressing daimyo, and he had worked hard for who knows how many years, but this time he completely recognized it.

If Konoha is really determined to eat weights, his name will not be able to command others, no matter how he threatens and lures him, he will never be moved. At first Sarutobi Hiruzen came out to perfunctory him, but later came to receive him. One of his people was lower than the other, and in the end he was even hanged out all day by the secretaries of Hokage's office on the grounds that Hokage was not around.

However, His Majesty Daimyo did not become depressed because of this. On the contrary, after this incident, he became more calm. After facing the bloody reality, Daming has decided to try his best to change the way he is being treated now with the wisdom and strength of the rest of his life .Abandoning the illusion of reaching the sky in one step, and using the subtle changes of the years to change the status quo, he is more enlightened than before.

"Neither, this time is really important news, Your Excellency, we have obtained information, I can't explain it all at once, you'd better just read it..."

The Fire Nation daimyo casually accepted the dossier handed over by the other party. Due to the fall of a large area of ​​the Fire Nation, he has even lost the control of many local governments. The grassroots organizations in these occupied areas may have been incorporated by the other party long ago. .

However, once these are lost, the government affairs that he needs to complete will be correspondingly reduced. Although he was not very diligent in the past, the things that need to be dealt with in managing a huge country are no less than Hokage.

But you can see that he is already sitting in the pavilion in broad daylight and dozing off on the recliner. It is conceivable how scarce government affairs have become, and it is almost on the verge of suspension.

"What news can there be? It's nothing more than how many areas Konoha has lost..."

But the next second his eyes widened.

"What? The four countries attacked Konoha together? Kirigakure Ninto 7 people died 6? Luo Sha was seriously injured? Hiss!"

There is a general overview of the results of the incident in front of this kind of dossier, and he took a breath when he saw the last line: "The third Tsuchikage Onogi was killed in battle?! Successfully captured the eight tails and the five tails? This..."

The squinting and squinting eyes of the monk Hongfa next to him widened and widened, and his eyebrows trembled like living things.

The fire country daimyo was no longer in the mood to continue lying on the recliner, he jumped up in a jerk, and continued to flip through the files, and the monk Kobo came to read it together.

"So so so so..."

Snapped!
The daimyo closed the file and threw it on the coffee table next to him, with a gloomy and frightening expression.

The other two people in the gazebo watched their hearts and minds without saying a word.

"Obviously Konoha had it all planned, no matter how they did it, I remember that ninja's transformation..."

He glared at Monk Hongfa, and the other party nodded: "...that ninja's transformation technique should be impossible to hide from the other party,"

He pointed at the dossier: "They must have some new ability, and then they hid it from us, sacrificed our interests, and used themselves as bait to play a big gamble!"

After he finished speaking, he stood there for a while like a sculpture, and then suddenly kicked the coffee table over.

"Damn Konoha! Damn Sandai! Damn Danzo, damn ninja!"

From the perspective of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, the more Konoha relies on them, the more powerful he will be. In a world of suppression, Konoha from Vega Shihai obviously does not meet his requirements.

The Konoha he wants is a weak Konoha, a weakened Konoha, a Konoha who even handed over the younger brother of the patriarch of the Hyuga Clan to calm Yunyin's anger, a Konoha who can't fight a war.

But now, Konoha, who has won a big victory, will be even stronger. He is a famous name in the country of fire, hehe.

"call!"

After losing control of his emotions for a short while, he calmed down a little.

It is foreseeable that Konoha will definitely take back those lost lands in the future, and the power of his fire country daimyo will also be restored to a certain extent after taking back these lands.

Konoha's gang are ninjas after all, it is impossible to deal with those vulgar things, the power will definitely be shared, and after he gets his share back, he will have plenty of time to try his luck.

Konoha asked him for something!

"Konoha's complete victory is not a good thing for us, but presumably those lost lands will be restored soon."

So he quickly adjusted his mentality and issued an order to Minister Zuo: "I ask you to retrieve those government frameworks that are now idle, and prepare to receive those lands."

"Those lands have been in the hands of local powerful forces for a long time, and we take this opportunity to take them back to us."

Of course, the Fire Nation daimyo has no plan to return those lands to the original owners who escaped from their hometowns.

Although these people will pay taxes to him, how can they take the resources that have passed their hands by themselves?
It's fine if he doesn't have a chance. If he didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity and rob him, he would feel it a pity.

"Master Hongfa, the monks from the Land of Fire should have participated in the self-defense war this time, right?"

The Fire Nation daimyo used the word self-defense war, which means that he elevated this ordinary ninja war to a certain moral level.

Monk Hongfa immediately understood the elegant meaning of the string song, and nodded: "Many monks died in this war, dying for the country."

"They will get the recognition they deserve. You mobilize your people and publicize your own achievements."

Remember to make a big splash about the retreat of Konoha's troops.

Monk Hongfa made up the second half of the sentence for Daimyo of Fire Nation in his heart, and nodded solemnly.

"You two, remember, Konoha's method of playing this time made me quite passive."

The daimyo of the country of fire raised his hand and pressed lightly: "So we should try our best to eliminate the influence of Konoha, attract more ninjas at the bottom of Konoha to pay attention to me, the daimyo of the country of fire, and strive for more sympathy and service from ninjas. The purpose of the next action. And, "

He turned to look at Minister Zuo.

"Those defeated countries shouldn't sit back and watch Konoha rise like this? Contact them, I need their help."

Minister Zuo didn't speak. He lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"Minister Zuo, answer me." Minister Zuo's silence made Daming a little suspicious. If it was normal, the other party would have already expressed his loyalty there: "What's wrong? Say something."

He just said that, and the next second, the hairs all over his body stood on end.

Minister Zuo raised that face, but it wasn't his own.

The owner of this face, the Fire Nation Daimyo, is very familiar, and he has met the owner of this face countless times.

Shimura Danzo!
