Bet Daimyos' Hot Dogs
"Fuck, finally stopped to rest, exhausted me..."
Kazehana Doto cursed and sat down on a small mound of dirt, he unslung the water bottle on his waist and took a big gulp.
Even so, he still felt thirsty in his mouth.
"Damn, there's not even any honey water... -
"Hey, that one over there, come over here!"
With such a complaint, Kazehana Doto let a low-level member of the Akatsuki organization come over, and without waiting for the other party to open his mouth, he directly snatched down the other party's marching water bottle, and continued to gulp down a large amount of water.
-While being a shinobi himself, and having the level of an upper shinobi, Kazehana Doto could be said to have been raised in a pampered way, and was still different from those professional shinobi who were able to truly endure any environment.
"Whew, cool, you can get lost!"
The face of the ninja who had been robbed of his water bottle was twisted, his heart clearly filled with rage - almost all members of the Akatsuki organization consisted of rouge ninjas, and since they were rouge ninjas, they shouldn't be expected to have a good temper.
However, considering the difference in battle power between the two sides, as well as the fact that the present-day Kazehana Doto possessed the position of Vice Minister of Development, he ultimately said nothing, silently took his own water bottle, and wordlessly left.
"Hmph... coward."
Kazehana Doto was not unaware of his subordinate's anger, but he didn't care.
This world, in the end, was all about fists.
Especially in a hellhole like the Akatsuki organization.
They wouldn't become civilized just because you were gentle.
They will only become obsequious because of your tyranny.
Here is the playground of the strong, is truly the world's most evil place... but he likes it.
Because here, there is absolutely no talk about the so-called birth family, and there is no bloodline relationship, as long as you are strong enough, you can obtain everything you want.
Compared to the Land of Snow, which was so corrupt that it suffocated people, it was still here that made people feel free.
"But speaking of which... if it's this time of the year... it should be starting right?"
Kazehana Doto muttered so, and came to a high place to look around.
From the very beginning, the Akatsuki organization had never thought of fighting a positional battle with the Land of Water's army.
They attacked the capital of the Land of Water, in addition to obtaining funds, they also had the intention of attracting armies from all over the Land of Water into the capital to serve the king.
The Land of Water's legions stationed all over the country did act.
-The Konoha Regiment was the elite of the Land of Water, but the Land of Water could have more than one legion.
And the Akatsuki organization, which currently totaled only a few thousand men, took the opportunity to break up into smaller groups and take over that fringe of land they wanted.
In the words of Namikaze-dono, it was called the home of all tactical conversions.
...It was a strange description, but it worked quite well.
The Akatsuki organization did not need a single soldier, and the vanguard occupied the target land. And those armies that wanted to work for the king hadn't even reached the royal capital yet.
This was the difference in movement speed between the Shinobi army and ordinary armies.
The Akatsuki organization was not worried that these armies would counterattack in a short time.
Because...
After looking around for a while, Kazehana Doto quickly found a farm with quite exquisite decoration.
This place should be owned by a certain big shot, only with the sudden launch of the Akatsuki organization, the manager and guardian of this field house had already fled.
As a countryside farm, this place should not have such good news. But now times have changed...
Kazehana Doto arrived at the hall of the fieldhouse and found that the TV there was still broadcasting the news.
In it, it was saying that the capital of the Land of Water had been breached, and that the world's greatest evil, Pain, was taking his deployment to another place.
"Times have really changed, in the past, this kind of news, even with the help of ninjas to deliver it, it would take most of the day anyways. -
"And to the hands of the people, the time needed to spend is not good to calculate... But now as long as the TV broadcast, directly the whole world knows. -
"I really don't know whether it's good or bad."
Kaxehana Doto muttered, picked up the remote control from the ground, and after pressing it twice quickly, he finally found the channel he wanted to watch.
The reason why they weren't worried about Land of Water playing catch-up was because of what was being broadcasted in front of them.
On the channel chosen by Kazehana Doto, the new Land of Water Daimyo was calming the people while swearing to everyone that he would make the Akatsuki organization pay.
It sounded pretty bad, but - there were two Land of Water Daimyo hey.
One is the Second Prince and the other is the Seventh Prince.
The second prince was older and had a smoother, stronger wrist. Although he was not the kind of crown prince that everyone defaulted to like the first prince, after the death of the daimyo, it was still reassuring to many people to hear from the official voice.
I don't know how he promised, but anyway, many feudal officials have already telegraphed their support for the Second Prince.
In comparison, the Seventh Prince was simply an orphan.
The daimyo did not like him during his lifetime, and many of the heavy ministers did not even know what his name was, the standard royal family little transparent, but... somehow he won the support of Kiri.
Kiri openly declared that the seventh prince is the legitimate successor of the Land of Water, and has a secret decree from the Daimyo of Land of Water to prove it.
One side was official, the other was military, and both sides were strong and powerful - the nobles were helpless, but when Kiri really started to be unreasonable, they didn't have much to hold them back.
After both sides tacitly agreed to get all the other princes killed, there was no more room to ease the conflict between the two sides.
Both sides simultaneously expelled each other from the water registry and named the other side as a great rebel.
It could be expected that this civil unrest would not stop until it had been tossed around for a month or two.
If it is not lucky, there may be a wonderful scene of the Akatsuki organization eating melon on the side while the two princes fight head to head...
That's what Kazehana Doto was going to see.
It didn't matter to the Akatsuki organization which prince fought which prince, they just needed civil unrest in the Land of Water. But for Kazehana Doto, this civil unrest in the Land of Water had a different kind of meaning...
"See, brother! -
"So what if you were born first? -
"This world, is the world of the strong! One day... one day... I will personally get back everything I lost!"
Kazehana Doto... was probably one of the very few people other than Kiri who wished for the Seventh Prince to be victorious.
In a way, the two were practically identical...
"You must win for me, asshole! -
"My foolish brother... Next time we meet, my chakra armor must have been overhauled... You wash your neck and wait!"
... ...
There were two pieces of news placed in front of Makoto and the Seventh Prince at the same time.
The good news was that this Second Prince had a deep heart, and after escaping that hell of the Royal Palace, he began to act almost immediately. In addition to promising heavy favors and pulling in a group of heavyweights, he also started sniping at the other surviving princes.
This really saved the Seventh Prince and Makoto a good deal of effort. As long as the Second Prince was defeated, the Seventh Prince was the logical sole heir.
Bad news, the Second Prince reacted quickly, declaring himself the new generation Land of Water Daimyo almost simultaneously with the Seventh Prince, and driving the Seventh Prince out of the Water registry as well.
This is... very subtle.
Despite Makoto's haste, he temporarily found an imperial edict from the corpse of one of the guards to add the seventh prince as the crown prince, but is this kind of thing...
One good thing about television is that it accelerates the spread of information extremely quickly.
But sometimes it spreads so fast that people don't even have room to make preparations.
The Seventh Prince was worried about this.
After all, he really wasn't as legitimate as his second brother.
Isn't it only natural that when the elder brother dies, the second brother takes over?
And in terms of ability and appeal... one is a real power prince who has really started to run errands, and one is a small transparent royal family, no matter how you think about it, it is not on a level.
Even if it's the royalist party, there's no reason to support the seventh prince.
That is, he is only the second prince, not the great prince, otherwise the seventh prince directly admit defeat is good... so the great prince died in the royal palace well.
In the current situation, with Kiri support of the seven princes have the advantage of military strength, but also only the advantage of military strength.
Ninja army again strong, once entered the wartime mode, the economy at most can only support half a year - who let the seven princes have no real power, no territorial support, can only rely on the hidden village own storage.
During these half a year, the Second Prince didn't need to win, he only needed to hold on to the wall and resist.
As for the army, the Second Prince could gather mercenaries to help.
Because of the constant squeeze from the five great hidden villages, the various small forces were being crushed rather miserably. As long as the price offered by the Second Prince was more appropriate, many of the smaller forces were actually willing to come as individuals to participate in this battle for the daimyo.
Although Land of Water was unlucky enough to have its financial income for the year robbed by the Akatsuki organization, the great nobles actually had quite a bit of savings left. If it was about half a year, it would still hold up...
The second prince was very much on board, and the various heavyweights were still willing to make a large upfront investment in him.
Then the pressure came all on the seventh prince's side.
He had nothing.
Not even more capable than his own brother.
The Seventh Prince grabbed his hair in immense pain.
However before the Seventh Prince could think of a solution, worse had already come back from the frontline.
"Latest intelligence!"
In the midst of a downcast mood, Yagura brought back worse news.
"By tomorrow morning at the latest, the second prince will lead the common legion and make a hasty march to the royal capital."
"Lead a legion to the royal capital?" The Seventh Prince was hardened out of his frustrated state by this bad news, "But now the Akatsuki organization has already left the royal capital... Wait, could he be planning to..."
"I'm afraid so, Your Highness!"
Yagura confirmed some of the Seventh Prince's suspicions.
"Through the news brought back by the frontline ninjas, I'm afraid that he is precisely trying to clean up the royal capital all over again in order to gain the support of those remaining clans!"
The Seventh Prince sniffed as if he had lost his life.
As time passed, more and more information about the royal capital was brought back.
Not unlike what many thought, the Akatsuki organization did not stay in the royal capital for long. After robbing all the precious metals from the Land of Water's treasury, as well as a large amount of paperwork, they moistened.
But there was still an extremely horrific massacre in the royal capital.
Hundreds of people against the nobles.
No matter what, it was always the commoners who made up the vast majority in the royal capital. With the daimyo and the army bouncing around, these people were as submissive as sheep.
However, when the people realized that the terror over their heads had disappeared...
Some people say that the city has suffered an unprecedented genjutsu attack, and some people say that the two sides have accumulated grudges for a long time, and now they have taken the opportunity to burst out. Some people even said... All in all, this civil mutiny was extremely cool.
According to incomplete statistics, a total of one hundred and fifty-two large and small nobles were killed.
The economic loss is incalculable, and the number of direct victims is more than five thousand people. Even more unluckily, some of these nobles had their entire families exterminated because of their fierce resistance.
Among these nobles who were killed to the point where their bloodline was completely severed, there were even three households that were of the Shinhua family line.
This was a clan that had been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and if we really talk about family character, it might not be lower than the Daimyo.
The only person who could suppress them by one level was the Man of the World - the Lord of the World - who only existed in theory.
In the past, no matter which one of these families was wiped out, it would have been a major event that would have shaken the countryside and pierced the heavens. That is, now... Daimyo was hacked to death in the street, let alone the Shinhua family.
I really don t know where these people get so much courage.
...Although Nagato didn't kill a monk this time, nor did he burn other's mansion, he probably couldn't escape the title of Demon King of the Sixth Heaven...
All in all, the situation in the royal capital is extremely bad now, and those nobles who narrowly escaped death are resentful in their hearts, waiting for the arrival of the heavenly soldiers to hang all those rebellious people.
The second prince had already had more contacts with the nobles of the royal capital, and at this time, he already had quite a number of ordinary legions concentrated in his hands. If he is allowed to enter the royal capital at this time...
Want to please these birds of prey, in fact, very simple, is nothing more than with the people in the capital to borrow the head of a use... exactly because the matter out of haste, the second prince also did not have the ability to give enough food and pay, the morale of the soldiers under his command is not high... is nothing more than not sealing the sword for two days, the problem will be The problem will be solved.
Soldiers have recovered their morale, the nobles have taken revenge, and with the full support of both, it is difficult for the second prince not to be a daimyo.
Despite not having shepherded a side personally, after all, having been in this circle for so long, the Seventh Prince quickly guessed the entirety of the Second Prince's choices.
There is even a worse possibility - the second prince transfers Kirigakure...
Anyone can turn to the second prince, even Terumi Mei can turn to the second prince.
In order to show his magnanimity and the elegance of the new dynasty, the second prince may not hold them accountable - Wei Zheng was a member of the East Palace before, but later he was still valued by Li Shimin and ranked fourth among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
T/N: Wei Zheng was a Chinese politician and historian and served as a chancellor of the Tang dynasty for about 13 years during the reign of Emperor Taizong
T/N: Li Shimin, also known as Emperor Taizong of Tang, was the second emperor of the Tang dynasty of China
They as subjects, the big deal is to change the boss.
Only the Seventh Prince could not.
After he chose this path, he had only two endings.
Getting everything.
Or, lose everything.
But he didn't dare to say it.
The more critical the situation was, the more he dared not voice this concern.
After pursing his lips and thinking for a long time, the Seventh Prince looked at Terumi Mei with a determined gaze.
"Godaime Mizukage-sama, please become my aid!"
This sentence seems ordinary, but in a special context, it has a special meaning - that is, when inviting the other party to become the Go-Tairo or the Go-Bugyo.
T/N: Go-tairo or Council of Five Elders, was a group of five powerful feudal lords (daimyo) formed in 1598 by the Regent Toyotomi Hideyoshi
T/N: Go-Bugyo or Five Commissioners, was an administrative organ of feudal Japan which later evolved into the Go-Tairo
The Go-tairo and Go-Bugyo were basically the pinnacle of secular power in a country. They are the real top of the heap, except for the Daimyo themselves.
If it was during the Warring States period, there was usually a subordinate title such as XXX Four Heavenly Kings, or XXX Hontari.
T/N: Four Heavenly Kings are four Buddhist gods or devas, each of whom is believed to watch over one cardinal direction of the world
In Makoto's understanding, it was Ge lao.
T/N: In the Tang Dynasty, 'Ge lao' was an honorific title given to the middle-aged and senior people in Zhongshushe and the chiefs of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province
Ninjas could fight, but their political status was low, and even the first-generation Naruto had never held the position of Ge lao.
After the Shodaime Kage passed away one after another, each big country is even more intentionally or unintentionally, the ninja will be excluded from the political circle.
Previously, Terumi Mei had negotiated terms with the Seventh Prince, and there was no such article.
But now, the seventh prince took the initiative to mention it, which shows his sincerity... as well as his fear.
This is what he can give, the highest conditions.
As for Roju... which is equivalent to a position like a chief minister or prime minister... that is really impossible...
This is certainly a very good opportunity.
After all, in the age of peace, a daimyo with a normal head is not likely to offer such high conditions in any case.
But... Makoto winked at Terumi Mei.
Terumi Mei sighed in her heart, then shook her head.
"Your Highness, please allow me to refuse!"
"Wh... what..." The smile that the Seventh Prince had managed to squeeze out instantly disappeared. His white face, became a miserable white, "Are you going to become the Roju... But this... There is no such precedent, you are not from the Seika family, nor are you from our Daimyo bloodline... Much less have you worked in the cabinet for many years and have a very high popularity..."
The Seventh Prince's eyes rolled as he came up with an extremely terrifying possibility.
"Do you... you want me to take you in as an adopted daughter..."
In the Naruto world, adopted sons were the ones who could inherit the entire political prestige of the family.
Adopted daughters were rare, but not unheard of.
In the warring states era of the Eastern Japan, there were female daimyo like Ii Naotora. In the world of Naruto, a world of extraordinary power, this is naturally true as well.
T/N: Ii Naotora was a daimyoo of the Sengoku period. She was the daughter and only child of Ii Naomori, the eighteenth head of their clan
If there was no choice, it was not impossible to choose an adopted daughter to inherit the family business.
But at this time, if Terumi Mei makes this offer, it's almost like she wants to take over the throne... This is the thing that the daimyo lineage fears the most.
They rule the world by economy, tradition and bloodline, and the thing they fear the most is the military government.
Once the ninja began to not follow the rules of the past began to act, then the nobles no longer have the value of existence...
But when she heard the Seventh Prince say that, Terumi Mei directly kneeled on one knee.
"It's not like that! You have misunderstood me! -
"As Kiri, we are those who guard the Land of Water. No matter what, we will not turn our backs on the Land of Water. If we break this oath, we are willing to be executed by the Five Thunders! -
"The second prince is tyrannical. With his character, once he enters the royal capital, he will definitely let his soldiers burn and kill him to express the hatred of the nobles. Once this knife is opened, the royal capital will become an Asura Hell... How sad! -
"I have the audacity to hope that Your Excellency will put the world first and forgive the people's sins as much as possible! -
"I have heard since I was a child that a benevolent person is invincible, Your Highness's favor, the people must know in their hearts and embrace you... so, you will have the foundation for a great cause!"
Terumi Mei some heartfelt words, listen to the seventh prince extremely touched, a time of shame.
Terumi Mei said of course is the truth, as a standard Land of Water people, of course she does not want the Land of Water to be devastated.
As for what kind of benevolence or whatever ... Makoto knows that this time it is time for himself to appear.
Terumi Mei could not sit back and watch the people of the Land of Water being massacred in large numbers, this was her bottom line.
Makoto also liked the fact that she was a Kage, but still had a bottom line.
If the one in power right now was still Yagura, he wouldn't be so helpful.
That birdman was just too dangerous.
But Terumi Mei is not the same... Since she has already been the red face, then he, the great villain, of course has to be the white face.
Seeing that the seventh prince's mind was shaken, Makoto softly said.
"That, your highness, although I am only here to make money ... but can you listen to me?"
"Hokage-sama please speak."
"Actually, the death or life of the people of the royal capital, that's not even important, what's important is, the support of the nobles of the royal capital." Makoto said so, his face showing regret, "But obviously, you are afraid that ... at the very least, for them, I'm afraid that His Highness the Second Prince is a better choice ... since that's the case, let's level everyone out and get back to the same starting line It."
The Seventh Prince froze for a moment, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.
"What you mean is..."
"Anyway, the nobles of the royal capital have already died so many people, the big deal is that we will spend some effort to kill them cleanly again... It just so happens that you lack the funds for the operation, I think that those great nobles, they must be willing to give generously."
This instant, the seventh prince didn't experience the joy of the intruder king, but rather took a deep breath of cold air.
Kill all the remaining nobles... If he really did this, how bad would his reputation have to be.
He had never heard of anyone who could become a great name without the support of the nobles.
"No, never!"
Rightfully so, the seventh prince refused.
At this time, Yagura hastened to make up for it.
-These two goods never expected the Seventh Prince to agree to such bizarrely harsh conditions from the start.
That's why Terumi Mei proposed a plan that he could never accept.
Makoto proposed a plan he was equally unlikely to accept.
And Yagura came up with a middle-of-the-road plan - a middle-of-the-road plan that, of course, couldn't be uttered by themselves.
"This won't work, that won't work... What exactly do you want us to do..."
Yagura appeared to be complaining, but that was an extremely dangerous sign in the ears of the Seventh Prince - Kiri was starting to get unstable!
The Seventh Prince took a look at Makoto, who was clearly unsuspecting, and then at Terumi Mei, who still had justice in her heart but was a bit too naive, and finally looked at Yagura.
"I mean, the royal capital is the first good place, and now that my father's corpse is still cold, we as children are girding our armor and attacking each other, it is a bit chilling... -
"In today's situation, we should first enter the city and open a list to pacify the people, so as to minimize the dryness. At the same time, it is also time to find one or two elite people as heirs for those heirless families..."
Yagura scratched his head.
"Ah, so... letting ninjas become adopted sons of noble families? Isn't that not quite right?"
"Yondaime Mizukage-sama, the situation is such today, so please do not have any doubts."
"Then... let it be so."
Thus, the several people quickly agreed on the next course of action.
The next few would take the most elite ninja of Kiri and arrive at the royal capital as fast as possible. And use the second son of the ninja family to succeed those famous families that had their heads killed, or even outright extinguished their heirs, to gain further deadly support from the people of the royal capital and Kiri.
-After the initial revelry, the hearts of the people who had broken free from the illusion did not know how to panic. If the Seventh Prince was willing to stand on their side at this time, he would naturally be embraced by them.
Although the Seventh Prince really doesn't know, he wants the support of some common people for no purpose... Anyway, he can't let the Second Prince succeed!
The next few hours were the most complete nightmare for the Seventh Prince. He was carried on the back of a ninja who specialized in physical arts and rushed to the royal capital as fast as he could.
It was natural that being carried on a ninja's back would not feel too good when the ninja was moving at full speed. The Seventh Prince did his best to endure it, but he still threw up.
But after arriving at the royal capital, he still didn't have any time to rest - he had to finalize things before the Second Prince's army arrived.
His cards were already few, and even a little bit of power was still precious to him.
So after taking a few secret soldier pills and barely fighting off his physical and mental exhaustion, he stepped up to the camera once more and began his speech once more.
...This time to seize the throne, he didn't fight a single battle, all fucking speech.
The content of the speech is very simple, is to pardon the royal capital, after the departure of the Akatsuki organization, and before the arrival of the seventh prince, everyone committed any crime.
During this time, no matter what you have done, the Seventh Prince as the daimyo all pardon, not to be blamed.
This news was naturally like rain to the jittery people of the royal capital. Everyone's favorability towards him has instantly changed from who he really is to a generation of holy lords.
...The seventh prince really doesn't know what the hell is the use of wanting this kind of fame.
At the same time, the ninjas moved in.
The Seventh Prince hadn't announced exactly how he was going to deal with the remaining nobles in his televised speech, but the ninjas were never going to be soft in that regard.
With Terumi Mei's silence and Yagura's push, the ninjas' handling of the nobles could definitely be described as rough.
-It's more or less personal here.
All in all, by the time the Second Prince arrived late with the common legions from all over, the ninjas had already completed their succession.
Quite a few ninjas have given their children the names of small families. As for the big nobles and the Shinhua family, no one has touched them... Anyway, when the second prince arrived, this was what he saw.
"My stupid younger brother, ah, for the sake of the throne, is he willing to go to this extent... It looks like I underestimated you before."
Ordinary legion and Konoha legion are different, Konoha legion is bound to be 100% paid, while the ordinary legion then... drink the blood of soldiers and eat empty pay is also regarded as the traditional art of the nobles.
Ninjas are the mainstay of the war anyway.
Once again there are also close defense corps.
They, the ordinary legions, are just soy sauce, what's the point of giving them too much food.
Pain came so suddenly and violently that the second prince was unprepared for a while and could only allow these ordinary soldiers to loot at will.
But when they rushed to the place, the royal capital had already closed the city gates tightly, and there were already ninjas patrolling vaguely above.
The staff at the side was also a bit confused, not expecting that the Seventh Prince, who had always been a poor performer, would be able to come down with such ruthlessness.
-The nobles have always looked down on ninjas, and the entire noble group has always been extremely resistant to ninjas. Now that ninjas are massively succeeding the nobles, even if he becomes a daimyo in the future, after this incident, he will never want to live in peace for the rest of his life.
"Your Highness, are we going to attack the city?"
"Attack the city..."
The second prince silently clenched his hands together, his face was bland, but his knuckles were white.
"Are you thinking of going to direct war with Kiri? We can't give them that chance, for Kiri, we can only starve to death, the chances of winning a head-on battle are too low... unless we get the support of the other ninja villages..."
The shogun sniffed, not daring to answer.
Get the support of other big ninja villages... Regardless of whether or not you can become a daimyo in the future, it must be directly on the pillar of shame in history... And even if the other ninja villages are willing to help, the price is bound to be...
... ...
The end of the 52nd year of Konoha can be said to be exceptionally exciting.
Especially for those people of Konoha and Land of Fire who have TV.
They had a smooth year this year, saved a lot of money, and watched a superb fun at the end of the year.
Aside from the TV industry, which is clearly progressing gradually, and the imperial trial match, which is getting more and more exciting and commercial, it's almost New Year's Eve, and surprisingly, there's a big job - the two princes of the Land of Water, each of them rallying their own men to a stalemate in order to succeed to the throne.
One side has the support of the common legions and the heavyweights, and the other has the support of the shinobi villages.
Although the two sides bizarrely didn't officially start the movie, as if they were intentionally stalling for time, the two sides never stopped verbally attacking each other.
The Second Prince scolded the Seventh Prince for not distinguishing between a ruler and a subject, and even sat back and watched the ninja persecute the nobles and harbor the commoners.
The seventh prince scolded the second prince for his selfishness, and now that his father's body is still cold, he is only thinking of slaughtering good people and destroying the foundation of the country. Why don't you go and find trouble with the Akatsuki organization if you're so hung up?
Both sides of the argument is extremely intense, but the nobles are also concerned about elegance, in addition to his mother's, almost all kinds of yin and yang are used.
The reason why they don't love each other is not because they are virtuous, but because they are born to the same mother... They are both really saying that I am your brother and you are my brother. If you really scold my mother, you will die together...
So two days, both sides entangled.
In order to grab the name of the great name, both sides are quite hasty, in fact, they are not ready for everything. Now they are tacitly procrastinating, waiting until their next war... Before that, the great names of the four great countries blew up.
What Pain did was not just as simple as killing the Land of Water daimyo, but shaking the entire ruling order of the nobles.
No matter what the cost, they had to kill Pain.
For this reason, after a brief discussion, the daimyo offered Pain a super-topping bonus of two hundred billion ryo for his head - only fifty million ryo for a Jinchuuriki.
This bonus can really be said to be unprecedented.
However, the daimyo are not too much money to spend, according to their understanding, the dawn organization is a standard rebel ninja organization.
For the rouge ninja, it is only the word money and power, and there is no so-called loyalty to speak of.
Two hundred billion ryo... As long as the time is right, what about betraying Pain?
Then very quickly, another shocking melon broke out in the bounty exchange - Pain reverse bounty on the heads of four daimyo, totaling four hundred billion ryos.
The reason why there were only four bounties was because there were no daimyo in the Land of Water right now.
This wave was probably the worst humiliation for the daimyo since their ascension to the throne.
But they don t have the means to continue to fight back... Not that the other four major countries can't come up with so much money, but the heavyweights won t let them damage the country because of this kind of battle of wills.
Two hundred billion ryos, it really had been quite quite a lot.
It's only a million ryo for an S-rank mission.
As for whether Pain has the money to pay the bounty... the guy just robbed the Land of Water vault.
The current Pain is truly rich.
Anyway, the famous people don't play hard, so there is really no way to overpower him.
The daimyo have never endured such humiliation, and they vowed revenge.
Rightfully so, they all began to urge the name of the ninja villages to send troops.
But the response from the great hidden villages was very cold.
Pain had already used his strength to prove his power to everyone. Just by watching the video, all the top masters felt that sense of unrivaled despair.
More than ten years later, Pain was the one person who pushed Konoha flat, unchecked, and beat Sage Mode Naruto to a dog.
Not to mention a decade or so ago.
The Super Kage is just so dominant that the number of people is no longer meaningful, and can only rely on the experts to pile up.
But... how many masters are there in each ninja village?
Now that the truce is only two years old, everyone is living a relatively nourishing life, and really no one wants to fight for their lives again.
Unless Makoto, the grand thief, comes first.
Currently in this world, only he and Pain are on the same level.
But it is clear that someone will not go on... Anyway, it is a hard drag, even if the daimyo messenger came, he said that he was not able to go to war because of kidney loss.
...Really haven t seen such a shameless shadow.
Of course, this word will not be directly transmitted to the ears of the daimyo of the Land of Fire. So many senior advisors of Konoha, as well as so many well-connected country lords, would naturally find a way to help embellish and explain.
But this still made the daimyo of the Land of Fire extremely unhappy.
Of course, several other daimyo were also very unhappy with their own hidden village's cowering... although they also knew that Pain's strength did seem to be a bit overpowered...
In desperation, several daimyo could only attempt to mediate the conflict between the two princes.
The daimyo swore that it really wasn't that they wanted to take advantage of the situation, but that it really was a bit of a thing.
-If one day, they also died unexpectedly, and their descendants were also so incompetent as to consume the country's reserves without regard for the greater good, would the other countries come along to take advantage of the fire?
It was hard to end the war, so let's all just stop for a while.
At this point, the daimyo showed a rare hint of gentleness.
But the daimyo's mediation was rejected by the princes.
-As people of royal birth, they instinctively distrusted any nobles.
The daimyo were almost exasperated.
Seeing that the two bastards were getting more and more unlike each other, the four daimyo had to issue a joint communiqué, and at the cost of their own credibility, they jointly invited the two princes to come to Konoha to discuss the matter - Nowadays, in this world, Konoha is the only one that can not be afraid of the Akatsuki organization.
The daimyo had already been in Konoha to view the imperial test fit, at this time, naturally also chose the meeting place in Konoha.
This time, the four daimyo could almost be said to have put their hot dogs on the line as well, and the two princes ended up in Konoha under the protection of Konoha ninjas.
The four daimyo tried to mediate, but it was clear that the mediation was completely unsuccessful.
The two princes are well aware of their state, and unless the Land of Water allows two Daimyo, as soon as one of them becomes a Daimyo, the other will surely die...
Two daimyo in one country? How can that kind of thing be allowed!
In the end, it was the Daimyo of the Land of Fire who knocked his paper fan on the coffee table after a long sigh.
"You guys... hey. -
"You guys are killing each other like this, when the big day is over, what face will you have to see your ancestors... hey, I am the same generation as your father, so I will lean on the old man for once and say a solution. -
"You guys see how?"
The two princes even said that they did not dare.
"In that case... -
"Whoever's ministry takes the head of the world's greatest evil, Pain, first, will be the future Lord of Water! -
"The one who takes off Pain's head is the champion of this royal trial and will receive my treasured secret The Book of Five Rings!"
T/N: The Book of Five Rings is a text on kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645
It sounds like a good thing to get both fame and fortune, but in reality...
Makoto and Yagura looked at each other, already understanding the intentions of this sinister daimyo.
-Still wanting to deplete the Land of Water's strength.
That's fine.
Makoto began to think of how to develop the Land of Water in his head.
The game of great powers, it is true that it is faster to use economic methods... So what if you have unparalleled force, you will not be able to save the motherland that is rotten and unbearable...
