Shadow Stream of Leaf

The daimyo can't meddle in the affairs of Ninja Village, the fire country daimyo can't intervene in the affairs of Konoha Hidden Village, and any daimyo can't intervene in the affairs of any Ninja Village.

The information received by the third generation of Hokage is only to cast a layer of suspicion on the Fire Country Daimyo who is trying to kill the commander of the armed forces of his own country. However, this suspicion is enough. When Hokage makes decisions, it is never One hundred percent proof is required.

Now that the Ninja World War is not over yet, the ambitious and brainy Daimyo of Fire Nation will never choose to fight internally at this time. However, it is precisely because Konoha's internal and external situation has tended to be stable that he will try to fight here. When the seeds are about to be safe, take chestnuts out of the fire.

Even if Hokage does not completely obey the daimyo, at least the daimyo should have his own right to speak in the Ninja Village... The fire country daimyo has such an idea. And if Konoha loses two Hokages in a row, then as long as he operates properly, he can choose at least one ninja who is close to the daimyo and support him to succeed Hokage.

Frankly speaking, this daimyo from the Land of Fire is far more courageous than the traverser Hanyu. You must know that Hanyu has never resisted the ninja system since the beginning. Since entering Konoha, he has accepted some good or Bad arrangement, and suffer the consequences silently... because he knew that he couldn't resist the ninja's way.

But the daimyo seems to be a little different. As the lord of a country, he at least has more capital to resist the ninja system than Hanyu, although this capital is also very limited, and he does not lack ambition, courage, and action... Issue a bounty Isn't it a good attempt to try to kill the three generations of Hokage?

If you succeed and make a lot of money, it doesn't matter if you fail, you can't lose money anyway, if this is the case, why not try this? As long as you don't get caught, you don't do bad things... If the daimyo didn't have such a maid, everything would really be as the young king wished.

It's a pity that no matter how cunning a fox is, he can't beat a Saiyan. With an armed mind but no armed body, everything is for nothing... Whether it's insidious or far-sighted, the second generation of Hokage is undoubtedly the most powerful in the world. Smart people are at least far smarter than this daimyo.

After learning that the chattering daimyo in front of him was suspected of assassinating him, the Third Hokage did not explode on the spot, he just continued to drink with each other, as if enjoying the banquet wholeheartedly.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and when the third Hokage returned to the guest room, the guards were summoned again, and even Jiraiya returned from the outside, he did not continue to explain the matter to his subordinates, but told everyone to rest well , Return to Konoha on time tomorrow.

Could it be that this matter was so lightly handled?

Hanyu thinks it’s impossible, the mistake the daimyo made was very serious, taking a step back, daimyo’s act of assassinating Hokage can be forgiven, but his attempt to put his hand into Konoha is absolutely impossible to be forgiven. Let me let it go... Konoha Hidden Village is a treasure created by the first and second Hokages with a lifetime of painstaking efforts. How could it be handed over to others?

Hanyu didn't know what the Third Hokage would do, but he knew that Hokage would definitely do something, maybe tomorrow.

After Hokage and his party left, the servants of Daming Castle began to clean up the messy banquet hall. At this time, Daimyo did not rest directly, but stood on a high platform on the Miyagi Castle Tower, overlooking the night outside the city.

"It failed... Sure enough, ordinary ninjas are no match for Hokage." After a long time, he muttered to himself.

Since the third Hokage arrived safely at Daming Castle today, doesn't that mean that the arrangements that Daimyo made before have all failed.

But it doesn’t matter if you fail. After all, apart from sending a sum of money to the black market, the daimyo has nothing to do with those assassins, let alone provide them with any information about Hokage’s whereabouts... From the daimyo’s point of view, The secrecy surrounding what he did was exceptionally high.

"From the moment we came to Daming City to the end of the banquet, the performance of the Third Hokage was normal, and we didn't associate the incident with us at all. This is good news." The daimyo continued.

At this time, there was only the maid and three courtiers beside him.

"Hokage has a lot of enemies in the ninja world. No matter what, he can't possibly associate the assassination with us. I'm responsible for keeping the secrecy. Daimyo-sama, I can guarantee that the news will never be leaked out, otherwise I would rather Punishment." A minister bowed and said.

"Once things are exposed, there is no point in pursuing responsibility." The maid whispered behind Daimyo... She was playing a loyal role.

What the minister meant was that if things were exposed, he would dare to stand on his head and eat shit.

What the maid meant was that shit is delicious, but don't be greedy.

If Hanyu or Hokage were here, they would find that the maid didn't seem to report all the details she knew.

The daimyo smiled gracefully, and then said, "Cancel the mission and withdraw the funds, and let other people involved in the mission disappear. We can only look for other opportunities in the future. For the time being, I don't want to offend that young Hokage."

Even if he failed, he still looked like he was holding the wisdom pearl.

…………

The night passed, and nothing special happened to Hokage. And after the second day, after a brief farewell ceremony, the third Hokage was supposed to return to Konoha, but at this ceremony, Hokage-sama suddenly made trouble.

"Master Daimyo, there is one thing I forgot to explain... Yesterday I was assassinated by a group of twelve ninjas on the way to Daming City. As for suffering on the spot."

Although the three generations of Hokage didn't lose a single hair during the assassination, he is now talking about this matter in the most serious way.

Why is he mentioning this all of a sudden? The daimyo's heart was lifted secretly, but on the surface he just frowned and pretended to be surprised and worried, "What, did someone actually try to assassinate Hokage-sama? What's the identity of the assassin? He was able to sneak into the hinterland of the land of fire, Even came to the vicinity of Daming City?!"

The daimyo is testing, testing how much Hokage understands the whole story of the incident.

The Third Hokage shook his head and continued, "The identity of the assassin is unknown now. Assassination is a common occurrence. Both the first and second generations have experienced a lot, so I don't plan to pursue it."

So far, Hokage's words have been very beneficial to Daimyo, however, he began to turn around next.

"However, considering that Konoha has just settled down from the chaos of losing the second generation, once the enemy succeeds in the assassination, the consequences will be disastrous, so considering that the war will continue, I may not know when I will die on the battlefield , so I think that if the succession of Naruto happened during the period of war, then the successor would not have to come to Daimyo Castle, it would be fine if the Daimyo-sama signed the letter of appointment and sent it to Konoha..."

Hokage speaks slowly, but the meaning in the words is fatal to the daimyo. He is further cutting off the political connection between Hokage and the daimyo, ensuring the further independence of Ninja Village... What special requirements during the war period are just polite It's just a rhetoric, Hokage is clearly saying that when Hokage succeeds in the future, he will never use the bird's name again.

He doesn't even want the symbolic meaning of the daimyo, and if the daimyo doesn't even have a rubber stamp, how can he intervene in Ninja village affairs?

"But, Hokage-sama, you must know that Hokage's succession rules are the first generation..."

The daimyo wanted to argue, but the third Hokage directly interrupted him, "Besides, considering that I will encounter assassination around me, the daimyo may also be in danger, so Konoha decided to send 24 ninjas to protect me at any time. For the safety of the daimyo, I hope the daimyo-sama will not reject the village's kindness."

Protect? Obviously surveillance, right?

This is absolutely unbearable to the daimyo. At this moment, he finally changed from that breezy expression, and his whole face became a little distorted.

However, Sandai Hokage’s words are not finished yet, “Finally, considering that the war will continue, and in the later stages of the war, the economic pressure on Ninja Village will continue to increase endlessly, so I hope that the daimyo’s economic support for the village will increase from next year. 80,000,000 taels... Please think about it carefully, my lord, it is 80,000,000 taels, not one cent is too much, not one cent is not less."

The words 80 million were like a bucket of ice water being poured from the daimyo's forehead, extinguishing all his thoughts of defense.

He knows? Yes, he sure knows!

Why emphasize the number of 80 million? This is clearly the bounty he gave for Hokage. It is obvious that the third generation of Hokage has already noticed what he has done.

The daimyo's palm, hidden in his sleeve, trembled uncontrollably from fear.

The Third Hokage is already tolerant enough, he will start asking for this money next year, originally, if Daimyojo can spend such a sum of money to do bad things, it might as well be used as war funds for Ninja Village.

Looking at Hiruzaru Sarutobi's calm eyes, the daimyo knew that he would never reject these three proposals, because refusing would mean that both parties would completely tear their skins apart, and completely tearing their skins would mean that one of them would die. Anyway, the third Hokage It's not going to die, so... guess who will die.

A Third Hokage, who did not want to be named, said this at this time: Money is mine, power is mine, and even you are mine.

The daimyo struggled, but in the end he suppressed his emotions and said, "24 ninjas are too many, I don't need so many guards."

"Then 12, cut off half of the number, should it be in line with the daimyo's wishes?" Said the third hokage, 12 ninjas, it is impossible to control the daimyo city, but it is more than enough to control the daimyo's Miyagi... originally said 24 At that time, Hokage had already left room for the other party to bargain.

"Any more questions, my lord?"

At this time, everyone who participated in the farewell ceremony has already noticed the problem... Compared with yesterday, the third Hokage is too aggressive.

However, no one dared to intervene at this time.

A daimyo is just a daimyo, but Hokage is always Hokage.

"No problem!" Daimyo said through gritted teeth, he could no longer control himself.

"That's good. I have to say that it was a pleasant journey to come to Daming Castle this time." Third Hokage stretched out his hand and held out his hand forcibly with Daimyo.

The daimyo wanted to keep his demeanor, he should be smiling at this time, but he pulled the corners of his mouth hard, but found that his cheeks were completely indifferent.

Hanyu felt a little sympathetic to this daimyo, and even wanted to sing him a line of pain painaway to comfort his wounded heart. Really, who would have thought that the third generation is actually a stinky hooligan.

Cough, generally speaking Sarutobi Hiruzen is an open-minded person, he doesn't even care much about Kakuzu's assassination, because it was a dispute between ninjas, but he never allows other people to intervene among ninjas... His retaliation was so fast and so ruthless.

The courage of the brave man who resisted the ninja system is commendable, but he was cremated on the spot.

What's the use of ambition, ambition, ambition? After all, this world belongs to ninjas.
