Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 74 Undercurrent
It has been a week since Arashi attacked the daimyo of the land of wind, and within this week, the news of daimyo's assassination spread throughout the ninja world.

Upon hearing this news, all parties could not help being shocked, among which the most shocked were the daimyos of the other four of the five major countries and their respective ninja villages.

The daimyo, who represent the interests of the nobility, were extremely shocked by this news. They expressed anger and horror at Lan's behavior. Since the Warring States period, there have been very few ninjas assassinating nobility. Ninja villages in various places will cooperate with nobility to seek development. Thinking about it, this Yueyinglan who appeared suddenly dared to risk the disgrace of the world and killed the daimyo of the land of wind.

This is a provocation to the aristocratic groups of the Land of Wind, and to the aristocratic groups of the ninja kingdoms. Facing this kind of provocation, no one can stand it. For this reason, in the name of the Land of Fire, the most powerful of the five major countries, Oda Nobuo also summoned the daimyos of the three kingdoms of water, earth, and thunder to come to discuss with the capital of the country of fire, the city that never sleeps.

Oda Nobuya thought that the three daimyos would come to discuss matters, but unexpectedly, the three daimyos rejected his proposal collectively.

Among them, the country of water is because of domestic problems. The ninjas in their country are still carrying out bloody massacres and blood mist operations. Domestic bandit groups and pirate groups are emerging one after another. Take the fire country daimyo far away on the main continent.

Nobuoda Oda can still understand the country of water, but the attitude of the country of land and the country of thunder makes the ambitious Oda Nobuo angry. I don't know if the two daimyos have taken the wrong medicine, but they want the noble Incomparable he went to their country, who do they think they are?

As a result, a revenge campaign against Lan simply disappeared.

Even so, the daimyos and nobles from all over the world did not let down their vigilance against Lan. Since this kid dared to kill the daimyo of the land of wind, he would definitely dare to kill them. Although there is no reason to move him for the time being, they would definitely not let Lan is having a good time.

Just when daimyos and nobles from all over the world were about to send people to the black market to increase the reward amount for Lan's head, Fuji Taihei, the daimyo re-elected from the land of winds, issued a proclaim to the world for the first time.

The general content of Zhaowen is that his father Fuji Yuki died in the fire, and he followed the destiny to inherit the daimyo position, and also recognized the restoration of Loulan and the abolition of the Samurai Legion, and provided all military expenses to Sand Shinobi.

When the big names from various countries received this news, most of them fell silent instantly. Although they had suspected that Sand Shinobi had cooperated with Lan before, they still dare not confirm it.

From this Zhaowen, the daimyos from all over the world smelled something unusual, and revoked the military expenses of the samurai legion to provide sand ninja.

Seeing this sentence, those nobles who clamored to take revenge on Lan all shut up.

As everyone knows, the former daimyo of the Land of Winds was a greedy and stingy guy, at least he withheld more than half of Sand Ninja's military expenses.

Now, the nobles seem to understand something. It is not just Arashi who is going to kill him in the Land of Wind, but Sand Shinobi who wants to kill him.

Since the Third Ninja World War, the daimyos of various countries have tacitly reduced the military expenditures given to Ninja Village.

The reason for the reduction is firstly to better control Ninja Village to consolidate their position, and secondly because they are afraid that among the ninjas with ordinary strength, terrifying figures like Senjuzhuma and Uchiha Madara will appear here , no one wants to see the ninja world unified, except for the daimyos of the five major countries.

In order to curb the rise of ninjas, the nobles kept issuing tasks to create conflicts in the major ninja villages. In fact, the black market was jointly established by noble forces and daimyo, with the purpose of keeping the ninja world in a state of chaos.

Only in this way, their position will be stable.

As long as the conflicts in the major ninja villages reach the extreme, then they will break out in war. War is a good thing for the nobles. They like war. First, they can plunder the people under them as much as possible. village strength.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a war that was not provoked by the nobles as black hands. They need war.

Under their secret operations, onmyoji and samurai were hostile to each other, and ninjas and samurai were hostile to each other. Later, when the ninjas rose, they used methods to make the ninjas themselves hostile to each other.

In any case, this is to weaken the strength of ninjas. Judging from the effect, they have done a good job. Since the deaths of Uchiha Madara and Senjujuma, there has never been a strong ninja comparable to them. By.

The aristocrats were high above them, they thought that ninjas would be as obedient as their dogs, but they never thought that the dogs in their eyes had already turned into man-eating beasts capable of destroying them.

At this moment, the nobles are afraid, the famous names of various countries are afraid, they are afraid that their Ninja Village will no longer obey their orders like Sand Hidden Village.

Ever since, in order not to turn their Ninja Village into a Ninja Village like Sand Hidden Village, the daimyos of various countries invited the shadows and leaders of their own Ninja Villages to their respective capitals to discuss matters in the name of discussing state affairs.

Everything is not as important as their rights, isn't it just money, give, military expenditures are no longer deducted, employment costs have increased, and the samurai group has disintegrated.

In this short week, more or less changes have taken place in all countries.

No one knows whether these changes are good or bad, but everyone can achieve their own goals, except for the bottom people.

Although the situation has quietly stabilized, the nobles of all countries have never let go of their hatred for Lan. He is the culprit who caused this chaos. The tricks are still coming towards Lan in an endless stream.

In terms of economy, various countries have increased taxes on the Land of Winds and the Land of Ghosts. For this reason, the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Land of Winds had to stop their foreign trade.

For a moment, an undercurrent surged like this, and a careless one would provoke a war.

Regarding these, Lan said he didn't know anything about it. He was on his way at the moment, and he didn't know whether it was bad luck or it was the rainy season. In this short week, Lan encountered three heavy rains.

The heavy rain seriously slowed down Lan's progress. Loulan, which could have been reached in seven days, turned out to be one day away.

Walking on the desert, Lan looked up at the gloomy sky, sighed, and then continued on his way.

Unlike Lan's ignorance, Luo Sha, the leader of the sand ninja in the center of the whirlpool, is very clear about this.

In the Kazekage Office of Sand Hidden Village, Razasa, wearing a Kazekage hat, sits quietly at a long wooden table with Chiyo and other Sand Ninja advisors.

They were all looking at one person—Nobu Uesugi. The unlucky Uesugi Nobu was originally here to convey the order of the former Land of Wind Daimyo to reduce sand ninja military expenditures. As a result, he received the news that the daimyo had been killed shortly after he set off.

He thought he would be able to return to the capital after the death of the daimyo, but in the end, the daimyo selected by the noble group overnight represented the opinions of the nobles of the land of winds and sent him to the hidden sand village to negotiate with Luo Sha. They needed a stable land of winds, They are afraid that they and their family members will die like Fuji Yuki, and there will be nothing left after death.

Uesugi Shinobu expressed his horror at this. You must know that he was the one who notified Sand Ninja of the reduction in military expenditures a few times ago.

Shangshan Muxin, who was wearing an official uniform, sat tremblingly on the wooden chair, his buttocks were already wet with sweat.

Although none of the ninjas in front of him exuded coercion, he could sense the disgust and killing intent in their eyes.

Sitting like this, although it is uncomfortable, Uesugi Nobuo still thinks it is better.

Although Uesugi liked this, Luo Sha didn't have time to sit with him at all. With a light cough, Luo Sha put his hands on the table and asked sarcastically, "I don't know why Master Uesugi is here? Are you going to convey the daimyo's wishes to continue reducing our sand ninja's military expenditure?"

Hearing the question, Shangshan Muxin trembled in fright at first, and then said with a charming smile: "Then... how dare you, Mr. Kazekage, how can you call me a small adult? I am a famous retainer, how dare you?" Let the Kazekage-sama honor you."

Hearing this, Luo Sha didn't speak, but the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth could indicate his inner situation.

Uesugi Shinobu smiled flatteringly at the ninja who was looking at him, and then took out the letter sent by Feige to him and said: "Actually, I have some good news to tell you, that is, the new daimyo Fuji Heian-sama has decided to Restore the military expenditures of Sand Ninja during the establishment period, and decided to return all the 370 billion military expenditures that were embezzled from the adults before."

"Are you going to repay the military expenses instead of deducting them? That's pretty good, but, where's the money? Did you bring the money?" Luo Sha took off her hat and looked at Shangshan Muxin expressionlessly.

Seeing Luo Sha's dead face, Shang Shan Muxin swallowed in fright, and then said with an awkward smile: "Because the former daimyo's palace was burned, a lot of property was burned, and we will raise the tax in the coming year. I will immediately hand over the property owed to your village to you, do you think this is satisfactory?"

"Humph--"

Luo Sha snorted heavily, stood up and was about to speak when Shangshan Muxin suddenly slipped from the chair.

As soon as he fell to the ground, the chair on the side where Shang Shan Muxin was sitting fell down impartially and hit him in the face.

In an instant, Shangshan Muxin screamed.

Luo Sha narrowed his eyes and looked at the chair, after a couple of glances, he turned his eyes to Chiyo who had her eyes closed.

The moment Luo Sha looked at her, Chiyo withdrew the chakra line controlling the chair.

Seeing that Chiyo retracted the chakra line, Luo Sha immediately said to the two sand ninja jōnin guarding outside the door: "Take this guy for treatment."

Hearing the words in the room, Sand Shinobi pushed open the door and walked out expressionlessly carrying the Uesugi letter.

When they walked away, Luo Sha couldn't help laughing.

At the moment Luo Sha laughed, the Sand Ninja consultants who were still expressionless laughed and shouted one by one.

"Happy, really happy, back then when this kid arrogantly announced the news of the cut of military expenditures by that bullshit name in front of us, he was so overjoyed, now, seeing how cowardly he is, I feel ashamed for their Uesugi family. "

"Hey~ It's really fun. The old man has never been so happy. He tried his best to fight against Konoha back then. Although he lost, he didn't expect that dog daimyo to take the opportunity to cut military expenditure. Now it's better, that guy is finally dead."

"Haha, it's good to die, that stupid guy Fuji Yuki died well, if he didn't die, wouldn't our sand ninjas just keep declining like this, by the way, that guy named Tsukage Lan is really bold, no one dares to move Dare to kill the famous people, really bold."

"That is……"

At this moment, Sand Ninja consultants, who are usually very dignified, are chatting in the conference room like chatterers full of complaints.

Luo Sha glanced at the consultant with a smile, then turned around and walked out. The moment he went out, Chiyo followed him calmly.
