After Naruto

Konoha's twenty-seventh year, June 23rd. On this day, Meiji, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, left this world forever.

"Father" all kinds of words flowed in his heart, Ai felt the pressure on his back and said lightly.

Human death is a slow process. Before a person actually dies, he is still conscious and can hear some sounds from outside.

Ai knew that Meiji would definitely hear her "Father". As for why he did this, Ai felt that it should be regarded as satisfying his regrets.

Ai did not hide the news of the daimyo's death. That night, the news of the death of the Daimyo spread to every corner of the Fire Country.

The next day, follow whatever procedure you should follow. Because the officials have already prepared the materials and personnel for the funeral. Therefore, Meiji’s burial was very fast.

The death of the king of a country was the death of the king of the most powerful country in the world. This news not only spread throughout the Fire Country, but also people from neighboring countries came to pay their respects.

Of course, people who are extremely concerned about the death of a daimyo are obviously more concerned about the choice of a new daimyo than a dead person.

The choice of the new daimyo is love.

When Meiji was still alive, he prepared a will in advance. Previously, this edict had been placed with the guardian ninja.

Now, with the death of the daimyo, the guardian nin also took out the edict as agreed.

Love is the new daimyo designated by Meiji, and this news spreads outward with a more powerful force than the death of the daimyo.

During these three years of rule, the economy of the Fire Country has improved in an orderly manner, and Ai has proven her ability with her political achievements. Now, the daimyo's edict has added legitimacy to love.

Well deserved, love should be a great name. In the eyes of the people of the Fire Nation, those who can bring benefits to them are good names.

Of course, most commoners think this way, but not the nobles. As the ruling class of a country, most nobles at the three levels of Duke, Houbo and Duke have some opinions on love.

When nobles hire ninjas, they use the power of money to control the violence in this world. The main reason why nobles can do this unscrupulously now is because of the participation of ninja power.

Ninja Restriction Act

During these three years, Ai passed a bill that was enforced by force. The content of this bill deprives ninjas of their legal rights to appear in Kyoto.

That is, without loving consent. Now, any ninja appearing in Kyoto is illegal.

Originally, the private ninja armies of nobles were legal. Therefore, they can do some things unscrupulously. But, not anymore. In a sense of justice, the nobles in Kyoto can no longer have such weapons.

Of course, when the bill was first implemented, not many nobles paid attention to this bill. It wasn't until Ai annihilated a group of ninjas, killed a group of earls, and confiscated a group of properties that the nobles became honest.

At that time, the daimyo was not dead yet and the nobles did not have the courage to rebel. Therefore, the bill was implemented very thoroughly.

However, if the root of the problem is not resolved, the conflict will inevitably reoccur, and love is inevitable.

Before, Ai had not attacked the great nobles of the Fire Country. After all, these nobles control the economic lifeline of a country. Killing one or two people will not solve the problem of nobles controlling the country's economic lifeline. If they are all killed, the country will be in chaos again.

But now it's okay to love. After three years of preparation, she had enough managers to replace the great nobles.

Seven days after the death of the daimyo, while preparing for the succession, Ai revealed the news of nationalization of land resources.

Then, as if a hornet's nest had been poked, the entire upper-class aristocratic circle opposed it like crazy. Of course, love was denied at the time.

Although, the situation calmed down after that. However, under the calm water, there are strange and unpredictable eddies, and a reactionary force is gathering.

In the past, due to restrictions on ninjas, all ninjas in Kyoto were expelled outside the city, and Kyoto was also under full-time surveillance by the guardian ninja.

At that time, restricting the ninja had nothing to do with their interests. After all, the nobles have the power of the samurai. When the ninjas are isolated from interference, it doesn't matter whether there are ninjas or not. The samurai can take care of the nobles' safety.

Therefore, even though the Ninja Restriction Act has been implemented, there are almost no people who desperately oppose it.

The nationalization of land resources is different. Take Ai Forestry Company as an example.

Originally, collecting forestry resources only required labor. The cost of raw materials is your own stuff, why should you ask yourself to buy it?

However, if land resources are nationalized, forestry resources will be collected. For example, if you cut down a piece of wood, you not only have to pay for the labor cost of cutting the wood, but you also have to pay for the material cost of the wood.

If the nationalization of land resources is successful, what will be the consequences? The annual income and profits of these consortiums that control national resources will instantly shrink to less than ten percent before.

This is such a terrifying thing, just thinking about it can make the great nobles gnash their teeth.

"Are you ready?"

In an underground secret room in Kyoto, sixteen men in colorful clothes were sitting in a circle around a huge round table. The person who just spoke was one of the sixteen people.

"Yunyin Village accepted the commission"

"There's nothing wrong with Kirigakure"

"Iwagakure Village is ready."

"Sunagakure Village accepts"

"Very good." In the dark underground secret room, the man sitting at the head of the round table said: "Except for Konoha, the other four major villages have accepted our mission."

"Enichi-kun, I don't quite understand something." A certain young marquis asked: "Why should Konoha be excluded? That woman named Uchiha Ai, since she has been excluded by Konoha, then she and Konoha The relationship is definitely not good.”

"Too naive." Before Madoka could refute, another Marquis said: "That woman has an incredible background. If Konoha is notified, we will all be dead."

"How to say" some nobles didn't know the reason.

"That woman has been the Minister of Education of Konoha. Now the younger generation of Konoha has a teacher-student relationship with her. Although Konoha ninjas are well-educated and should not leak secrets. However, you still have to be careful."

"To be honest, I can be considered a compassionate person." At this time, Yuanshi said with a smile. "Uchiha's talent for love is obvious to all. Regardless of her talent or appearance, she has not disgraced the name of Uchiha. It's a pity that she shouldn't covet things that don't belong to her."

"On the day of the succession ceremony, can the entrusted ninja be present?" Madoka asked.

"No problem" everyone said in unison.

"It's good, just wait for that day." Yuanshi's voice came faintly in the dark underground.
