Konoha is also very enthusiastic today

The daimyo didn't realize it in time, so you can't really blame him.

He was not the first buyer. To be more precise, when Konoha became famous for selling food, the Fire Nation had to wait in line to get food.

He was skeptical at first. In this poorly informed ninja world, the only information that could be sent back was vague "There are lords selling grain in the Kingdom of Thunder" - at this time, anyone's first reaction is to grab it. , even if the daimyo doubted why the other party was not attacked by the locust plague, it would not delay him in grabbing food.

In the current situation, everyone is eager to hoard grain until death, and regards grain as more valuable than gold. Every big country has too much time to take care of itself, and how can there be any spare capacity to sell grain to others? At this time, a lord who sells grain suddenly appears, which will cause disputes among all parties. It is also natural to rush to bid.

Who has time to wonder why?Maybe the other party happens to be in a superior location, occupying a geographical advantage like the Kingdom of Water, and is not on the locust transit route?

The Daimyo of the Country of Fire took action relatively late, but after all, it was the most powerful country in the world. He still grabbed the largest share of food with an extremely tough attitude. What made him relieved the most was that the lord was in the Country of Thunder, and Thunder A straight road happened to be built not long ago between the Kingdom of China and the Kingdom of Fire.

At that time, the Fire Nation daimyo was upset because of the famine in the country. He breathed a sigh of relief after buying food, but did not think deeply about it.

Looking back, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He murmured to Xie Huamei, as if to himself: "That's not right... If it was the lord of the Country of Thunder, why didn't he donate the food to the Daimyo of the Country of Thunder as soon as possible? Instead of selling it to outsiders? Does he have this power? Isn’t that lord afraid that the name of the Kingdom of Thunder will cause trouble for him when he does this?”

"But it is even more impossible to say that the lord got the permission of the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder... If I remember correctly, the famine over there in the Kingdom of Thunder is worse than ours, and it is impossible for the Daimyo to have any spare money for external sales. .”

"And, the strangest thing...the way to sell grain is the straight road we just built, which passes through the Fire Country fiefdom. How come there is no news about the Sugawara clan and the Heijing clan? Have they set up checkpoints?"

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. The daimyo's political sensitivity, which had been offline for a long time, finally came online. At the same time, his left eyelid twitched, as if to indicate that something bad was about to happen.

He was panicking, and when he couldn't sit still, he asked Xie Huamei to stand down, and then he sent a letter to Mr. Sugawara.

Speaking of Mr. Sugawara, he was very dissatisfied.

Fortunately, he had exempted himself from taxes because of the sincere gifts from these two nobles. As a result, these two white-eyed wolves were very good at crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. There was a famine in the Country of Fire, and the other nobles more or less donated. Their own food filled the national treasury, but they were the only two who remained as motionless as if they were dead, pretending to be blind.

Even if they don't think about the strangeness of buying food, the Fire Country Daimyo will have to settle things with them sooner or later.

However, it's not too late to settle the score with them...

The first letter started with the usual official tone of the nobles. After a full half page of pleasantries, it got to the main topic unhurriedly.

The general idea is, what's going on with you two? Seeing the serious famine in the country and the people's lack of food, you don't even have the slightest idea of ​​​​helping, and you don't even bother to express your intention?

If you still remember my suppression of you back then, you are totally wrong. I will take you into consideration later. See, exempting you from taxes is the best proof.

If you still have a sense of belonging and conscience towards the Fire Country, and feel sympathy for the people of the Fire Country, then please send the food as soon as possible!

.........

"Lord Konoha, what do you think?"

After getting the letter, the guard immediately delivered it to Konoha's desk.

This is a letter from a daimyo!It felt hot to his hands.

Then, he watched as Konoha briefly glanced at the letter, crumpled it into a ball of paper, and used a small instant fire escape to burn the letter into ashes.

guard:"……"

Guard: "This, this, isn't very good, is it?"

"Not so good? What's wrong with it?" Konoha glanced at him lightly, "It's an insignificant letter, don't bother with it."

...In your eyes, are the Daimyo's letters already insignificant?

No, as expected of Lord Konoha...

"Compared to this, how is the autumn harvest?" This is what Konoha is concerned about.

"As you said, all the ninjas were sent in to speed up the autumn harvest as much as possible." Speaking of this, the guardian was still a little confused and didn't understand why Konoha was trying so hard to push forward the progress as if it was in a hurry to reincarnate.

Well, but Konoha-sama’s thoughts are never something they can guess...

Konoha understood. She pushed aside the mountain of documents and stood up: "I'll go out for a walk too. Let the ninjas work overtime during this time. The salary is easy to talk about. The important thing is to rush the time."

Before the daimyo notices signs of her "rebellion".

"Also, let me inform Uncle Tobirama that it's time for him to return Narume to me."

Now that Senju Tobirama has created Flying Thunder God 2.0, it would be a waste for Naruto to stay with him.

Who wouldn’t be hungry for time and space talents?

Of course, Konoha's main purpose is to transport Naruto here and use her Infinite City as a large mobile granary.

Anyway, the Infinite City senior in the chat room also strongly supported her behavior and expressed various regrets that if he hadn't been able to turn into a physical form, he would have rolled up his sleeves himself...

"Yes."

.........

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire did not receive a reply.

Those two white-eyed wolves!He was so angry that he was so angry. Did he give them too many good looks?

Do you want to rebel?

In anger, he quickly wrote another letter asking why the other party ignored his letter. Do you really take the famine seriously?

The daimyo didn't bother to come up with some high-sounding words, and directly added a threat at the end. If you don't respond, don't blame him for taking back your territory and all other rights!

It should be fine now.

He confidently asked his servant to deliver the letter.

a few days later.

...and nothing happened again, with no response at all.

The daimyo was already furious. He asked in disbelief: "Are those two people dead?!"

How dare they?

The daimyo was furious, and the attendants at the foot of the steps lowered their heads, not daring to make any sound for fear of offending him even more.

"You are rebelling. You are really going to rebel. How dare you ignore me and regard the prestige of the daimyo as nothing. This is unprecedented!"

Besides being angry, he also felt a little ridiculous.

He has been in this position for too long, so long that he has become accustomed to the power at his fingertips, and to the feeling that everyone following his words must listen to him as an edict. He has been in this position for too long, or in other words, he has never experienced being violated in this way. The taste of reverse!

Because it is so far beyond common sense that it reaches such an outrageous level that it even feels unreal to him.

How could there really be people in this world who were indifferent to him and turned a deaf ear to his words?

The daimyo suddenly waved his sleeves, and a beautiful and expensive porcelain bottle on the pillar immediately fell to the ground. After a crisp explosion, the pieces were scattered all over the floor.

Two attendants hurriedly came up from below and cleaned up the fragments that could easily cut people.

Under the wrath of the daimyo, everyone remained silent.

The sound of horse hooves pierced the silence in the air, and with a long "report", the two servants hurried into the hall and bumped into the angry daimyo head-on.

The rest of the people showed pity to varying degrees, looking at the two servants as if they would die in the next second.

What an unlucky thing, it happened at the most unlucky time...

If it's good news, that's it. If it's bad news, it will add fuel to the fire, and I'm afraid the daimyo will be angry.

The daimyo's expression was cold, and the violent ups and downs of his chest revealed his restless heart: "What's the matter?"

"It's a caravan transporting food! It has just arrived at Daming Mansion in the Kingdom of Fire!" The servant who reported the news could not hide his joy.

"Oh?" That's good news indeed.

In this critical situation, there was no robbery on the way, no food loss, and it was transported to the Land of Fire safely and intact... In addition to Naomichi's contribution, the ninjas from Konoha Village they hired should also have contributed a lot.

In any case, this belated good news calmed the daimyo's mood a little. He nodded and said: "That's good. Has the food been counted? - No, forget it, I will go and see it myself."

Stay away from this terrible place and just think of it as passing time and relaxing.

The daimyo thought so.

The daimyo who originally had this idea would not have expected what kind of shadow he would face next, which would be unforgettable in his life.

The extravagant aristocratic life of being carefree and reveling in wealth has taken a huge turn.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire saw the food delivered as promised.

The amount was not missing, and the other lord was very trustworthy on this issue.

The daimyo nodded secretly, and he took a few followers around to the back of the carriage. Just as he was about to carefully count the food and grass, a follower behind him let out a light sigh.

"what is this……"

The daimyo took the item from his hand and opened the cloth bag. His round eyes suddenly widened, as if he had been struck by lightning.

The cool temperatures in autumn seem to drop to freezing point in an instant.

All heat sources moved away from him, and he heard the sound of his teeth chattering.

He recognized the contents of the bag.

That's a token of the Sugawara family.

Every noble has his or her own unique token, how could the famous person not know about it?

The entourage found this cloth bag from the provisions of the carriage, and the bag happened to contain this token...

What does this represent?

The daimyo couldn't support his body and took four or five steps back. In the end, he had to be supported by the attendants around him to prevent him from falling.

The world was spinning in front of my eyes.

The "lord" that he had always suspected of selling grain to the outside world was the two nobles, the Sugawara clan and the Heira clan!

.........

After releasing the carrier pigeon, Konoha looked at the ink words on the paper and smiled happily.

She spread out a new piece of white paper and wrote only a few words on it.

[You can do it now, Xiaomei. 】

.........

The daimyo is destined to have no sleep tonight.

All the signs, the obvious possibilities, made him tremble uncontrollably, panicking at this terrible fact.

He couldn't help but walk into the back room, looking for a place to rest, the soft and fragrant embrace of his beloved.

Opening the door, the daimyo called out deeply: "Mei..."

"Daimyo, thank you for your hard work."

The woman in front of him still looked the same as in his memory. The beautiful face that he loved so much was now tinged with psychedelic tenderness.

The daimyo seemed to have lost half of his strength. He stumbled and closed the door, wanting to embrace his beauty.

Xie Huamei sat quietly on the bedside with a smile on her face.

The moonlight suddenly darkened.

Cloud cover shifts.

A cold wind suddenly leaked in through the wooden window.

The woman's favorite vanity mirror shimmered with light.

...The next moment, it was stained with splattering blood.

The daimyo covered his neck blankly and touched the sticky substance on his hand, where a huge hole opened.

The silk-like ribbon floating in the air wrapped around Xie Huamei's body, as if a fairy had descended into the world.

"Why...why..." His vocal cords were damaged, he could no longer make a sound, and his throat was leaking.

These were also his last words in the world.

The ribbon curled around his head as if it were alive, and then he pulled it out hard.

Xie Huamei still had a charming smile on her face. The dark clouds moved away and the moonlight once again poured into the room with the open wooden window.

The woman's flawless side face was soaked in strange blood.

Thick blood slipped away.

Tick.
