This Naruto is too strong

A few days passed after receiving compensation from the Land of Lightning.

Everything was calm.

The Land of Lightning seemed to have really swallowed the humiliation and did not make any moves.

Naruto knew that this was just an appearance, and he did not care, so he quietly waited for the other party to make a move.

Taking advantage of this time, Naruto also dealt with the internal problems of the Land of Whirlpools.

Although he was already the real overlord of the Land of Whirlpools, there were many who did not accept him.

The leader among them was the noble class of the Land of Whirlpools.

After Naruto took control of the Land of Whirlpools, he immediately ordered people to declare a year of tax exemption for the whole country.

In this regard, the people were naturally excited and thought that they had welcomed a wise ruler.

But the nobles were indeed gnashing their teeth.

Except for a small number of these nobles who were really capable of making money on their own, most of the rest relied on sucking the fat of the people, or relying on their status to oppress the people and bully the market.

Naruto's actions were undoubtedly destroying their rice bowls.

After all, even if everyone shares the tax revenue for a year, it is still a huge fortune, and no one would not feel sorry for it.

Therefore, some landlords pretended to obey Naruto's orders, and nodded in agreement on the surface, but in fact, they collected the taxes as they should, but just changed the name, which was easy for them.

This is still a relatively good situation. After all, Naruto has limited manpower and does not have a thorough grasp of the Whirlpool Country. The rulers of some nearby cities pretended to submit because of his power.

But the landlords and nobles of some more distant cities ignored Naruto's orders.

Until half a month after the Thunder Gods withdrew from the Whirlpool Country, they did not come to see the new overlord.

They were betting that the newly-elected Whirlpool Clan would not dare to do anything to them.

The Whirlpool Country is not big or small, but it also has millions of people and more than 30 cities. How can the governance of so many cities and populations be maintained?

Of course, it depends on these landlords and nobles.

Their power is intertwined and their relationship network is crisscrossed.

Master all the affairs of the Whirlpool Kingdom.

From the operation of the country to the daily necessities, they have the final say.

So what if your Whirlpool clan is powerful? In the end, you still have to rely on them to govern the country.

So, if the newcomer is willing to sit down and talk, it's fine. If not, they will kick your ass and even cause riots from time to time, making your people miserable and the whole nation against you. What can your Whirlpool clan do?

In the end, the newcomer still has to learn to compromise. When you understand this truth, the nobles will give you a piece of the cake, and then they will live in peace.

This is the rule that has been running on this land for thousands of years.

Whirlpool City.

Whirlpool Capital.

This is the central hub of Whirlpool Kingdom and one of the most prosperous cities in the country.

The contemporary daimyo of Whirlpool Kingdom, a large number of nobles and wealthy businessmen gather here.

The Kisarazu clan is the richest clan in Whirlpool Kingdom.

They control nearly 30% of the resources and wealth of the Whirlpool Country, and are known as the "Golden Family".

That means they are rich enough to rival a country.

Today, the patriarch of the Kisarazu family, Kisarazu Ichiro, entertained guests.

The luxurious banquet hall was full of guests.

Bird's nest, abalone and belly were just common on the table, and aged wine was available at will.

A dozen beautiful girls danced in the center of the hall.

The guests drank fine wine, ate delicious food, and enjoyed the dancing of beautiful women. It was so pleasant.

The incident passed in a flash.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Kisarazu Ichiro, who was in charge of Takatsuku, ordered the idle people to leave, leaving only a dozen important people who were invited to the banquet waiting for today's show to begin.

Kisarazu Ichiro Takatsuku was in charge.

He was an old man with a bald head, wearing a pair of round glasses, wearing a black kimono, and the Kisarazu family's logo "Golden Mountain Pavilion" on the belt around his waist.

This man has a standard build. Although he is nearly seventy years old, his face is quite young, and he seems to be only fifty years old.

He opened his half-closed eyes, and his eyes shone with brilliance: "I will not repeat the reason why I asked you all to come here. Please express your opinions on how to treat the new guest from the Whirlpool Country."

An old man with a flat head said: "The Whirlpool Clan, it is good that they can drive away the Thunder Country, but they seem to be a little too impatient. As soon as they have achieved a little success, they took the initiative to release the tax for one year. Ha, forgive me for being blunt, the other party either doesn't take us seriously at all, or is a complete idiot who doesn't know the rules at all. For such a person, I think he needs to suffer a little and learn some rules."

Everyone nodded.

Kisarazu Ichiro did not express his opinion.

He said lightly: "Brother Yutuo, do you have any ideas?"

Yutuo Cangzhi, the old man with the flat head, sneered and said: "I think we should let himLet's see our methods. Didn't he want to exempt the tax? Then let him exempt it, but I think the weather has been good in recent years, and the harvests of those peasants are also good. It's not too much to raise the rent, right? "

Everyone smiled knowingly when they heard this.

They are nobles and landlords. The power represented by this room of people occupies more than 40% of the land in the Whirlpool Country.

Of course, the land in their hands is not strictly speaking theirs.

The land is contracted to the people in the area they manage for cultivation.

The people's land output is 20% tax, and 20% is given to them.

The 20% tax was originally given to the Thunder Country Army.

But now that the Thunder Country Army has fallen, they are the only tax collectors.

Originally Then we don't have to pay the tax to the Land of Lightning. This is to give an explanation to the Uzumaki clan, but the increase in the rent that originally belonged to them is not too much, right?

Just increase it by 20%, which is the same as before.

But that is not called tax, but rent.

What does your tax exemption have to do with my rent?

It is reasonable to do so.

I won't lose a penny, and I'll give you face.

This is called a show of power.

Kisarazu Ichiro smiled slightly, still not expressing his opinion.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I really want to know how much you know about the newcomer. "

Everyone was silent.

No one had gone to Naruto openly.

Some smart people wanted to go and join him, but due to the pressure from the nobles above, they did not dare to express their opinions at the first time, but waited and watched.

The powerful guys present also knew that the new era had come and they needed to take sides, but Naruto's tax-free policy angered them, so no one expressed their opinions.

It's not that no one had tried to investigate Naruto's background, but they all returned in defeat and gained nothing.

So, everyone really didn't know what kind of person the new overlord of the Whirlpool Country was.

They could only get some information and intelligence about Naruto from the side.

But that little bit of information was just a little reference and couldn't be of much use.

Kisarazu Ichiro saw that everyone was silent, and he knew the answer in his heart.

He said lightly: "Everyone, I want to make friends with this hero who saved the Whirlpool Country and the water and fire. Tomorrow, I will send my youngest son to the Whirlpool Village to pay a visit to him. Are you interested in sending someone to go with him? ”

“I also plan to send a grandson to visit the Uzushio Village.” Utazonosuke was the first to express his opinion.

Everyone is not stupid, and it is easy to guess what Kisarazu Ichiro meant, that is, to use courtesy before force, to send someone to test the waters first. If the other party is willing to integrate with them, then everyone will naturally be good to each other. If it doesn’t work, then they can’t be blamed.

So, everyone expressed their willingness to send people to visit the Uzushio Village.

No one would refuse, because this is a good opportunity to get first-hand information.
