NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 298: Do You Know Why Your Grandfather Was Willing?
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind is dead, killed by Mizuki.
This shocking news spread throughout the ninja world in just a few days.
The great names of the small country were trembling.
And the great names of the four great kingdoms, the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Water, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Thunder, were all furious!
In the Kingdom of Fire, in the daimyo's mansion, the daimyo tore the fan in his hand into pieces and shouted loudly: "Notify Konoha Village immediately and send all ninjas to attack Phoenix Village in the Kingdom of Birds."
"That Mizuki must die!"
The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder went to Cloud Shinobi Village to meet Fourth Raikage in person. He slapped the table and roared: "I don't care, if Mizuki doesn't die for one day, the delivery of next year's military expenditure will be delayed by one day."
"If Mizuki never dies, then Cloud Shinobi Village will just have to fend for itself!"
The daimyo of the Land of Earth and the daimyo of the Land of Water all acted in unison and ordered Rock Shinobi Village and Mist Ninja Village to send troops to the Kingdom of Birds.
Not only that, the daimyo of the four countries not only ordered the ninja villages in their own countries to send troops, but also put pressure on other small countries.
Anyone with a ninja village must send out all the ninjas in the village to attack Phoenix Village.
Taki Ninja Village, Yu Ninja Village, Star Ninja Village, Sennin Village, Snow Ninja Village, Rain Shinobi Village, Grass Ninja Village, Sora Ninja Village, Takumi Ninja Village...
In addition to the Ninja Village, there are also various ninja organizations that do not belong to the Ninja Village, such as Xuanyuan Clan, Prajna Clan, Three Evil Ninjas, Underground Money Exchange, Wandering Ninja, Unbearable...
There are also various ninja families that are not part of the Ninja Village, as well as temples with ninjas such as the Fire Temple, all of which have been notified.
All in all, the Shikoku Daimyos were very determined to kill Mizuki at all costs.
They thought that all the ninjas in the entire ninja world would support the mobilization of the four of them.
But the result is that after the notification was sent out for several days, there was very little movement.
In addition to the ninja villages in small countries making preparations, among the four major ninja villages, only Cloud Shinobi Village is mobilizing troops.
Konoha Village, Rock Shinobi Village and Mist Ninja Village showed no response, as if they had turned a deaf ear to the daimyo's words.
"Bang!"
The table was shaken by the slap, and the fire country daimyo's palms hurt sharply. His face flushed, and he roared angrily: "What on earth are you doing? Why don't you send troops?"
In front, Nara Shikaku and two advisors lowered their heads and said with a smile: "Lord Daimyo, please think twice about sending troops to the Kingdom of Birds!"
The daimyo shouted: "How outrageous! Don't you even listen to my orders?"
"I asked you to send troops, but you made me think twice. Do you Konoha no longer want to continue?"
Shikaku smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Daimyo, you don't know. Mizuki's strength in Phoenix Village is too strong. If we send troops, we will die in vain. It's better to think long term and come up with a sound strategy."
The daimyo's eyes widened and he stared at Shikaku, wishing that someone would drag him out and chop him down.
"Strong? No matter how strong he is, isn't he still a human being? No matter how strong he is, can he withstand the coalition of all the ninjas in the ninja world?"
Mitokado Homura: "What the Daimyo-sama said is true. No matter how strong one person is, he cannot withstand the attacks of all ninjas in the ninja world."
"However, even if we can kill him, we will suffer heavy losses. A conservative estimate is that the number of casualties will reach more than half. Such losses are too tragic for the ninja world."
"Bang!" The daimyo slammed the table again, but this time he changed his hand.
"So what if more than half of them are dead or injured? If Mizuki is left alive, more people will die in the ninja world."
"In short, I want to see Konoha send troops today. If not, the Fire Nation will immediately stop its economic support for Konoha."
"I will also order that no caravans are allowed to come to Konoha, and Konoha Villagers are prohibited from going to any villages and towns in the Land of Fire to buy supplies."
"I will send people to destroy the fertile farmland within a hundred miles of Konoha so that no food crops can be produced, leaving you with no food to eat."
"I will also fill in all the rivers around Konoha Village so that you can't even drink water."
"I will also burn down all the forests around Konoha. You won't even be able to eat the wild fruits..."
At this moment, there was a soft shout outside the door.
"enough!"
The daimyo did not continue speaking. He had a stern expression on his face and shouted: "Whoever dares to interrupt me, Shikaku, I order you to execute him immediately."
"If you dare to be disrespectful to my name, only death can atone for your sin."
Shikaku raised his eyes and looked at the Daimyo, and said: "Lord Daimyo, the person here is Lord Hashirama."
The daimyo was startled and said: "Hashirama? Which Hashirama?"
Shikaku: "First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!"
"Gudong!" The daimyo swallowed subconsciously, the expression on his face was very exciting.
"Didn't I ask Orochimaru to send the First Hokage back to the Pure Land a few days ago? Why are you still here?"
Shikaku thought: Orochimaru is gone a long time ago. You only gave in a few days ago. It was already too late.
The door to the conference room opened automatically, and First Hokage walked in with a frosty face, staring at the daimyo with his black eyes.
"What you said just now, you can say it again if you can!"
The daimyo trembled in his heart, being frightened by First Generation's momentum.
But then he thought, he is a daimyo, what should he be afraid of?
What's wrong with First Hokage? As long as you are a Kage, you have to listen to my name.
He looked up at Hashirama and said in a strong tone: "What I just said was not a joke. If Konoha does not send troops, I will keep my word."
"Oh? Do you mean what you say?" Hashirama's tone became deeper.
Chakra instantly spilled out of his body and wrapped around him. The powerful momentum caused the floor under his feet to explode instantly.
Everyone present broke out in cold sweat, and the daimyo almost peed with fear.
"You...what do you want to do? I am a daimyo, do you want to do something to me?"
Hashirama stared at the daimyo and sneered: "Daimyo? What is a daimyo?"
He walked towards the daimyo, and finally stood in front of the daimyo. The samurai next to him didn't dare to stop him.
The daimyo sat in his chair, his body stiff.
Hashirama stood, looked down at the daimyo, and said, "Do you know why your grandfather agreed to cooperate with Konoha to establish a one-country-one-village system?"
"Do you know why your grandfather is willing to spend 2 billion taels per year to support the development of Konoha Village?"
The daimyo's lips trembled and he asked: "Why...why?"
When he asked this question, a memory from his childhood suddenly emerged in the daimyo's mind.
His grandfather was still there at that time.
Grandfather was particularly fond of his eldest grandson, and he often slept with him.
Once when he woke up in the middle of the night, he heard his grandfather talking in his sleep: "Senju Hashirama, I will kill you sooner or later. I will definitely repay you for the humiliation I caused you. And the Senju clan, I will make you extinct..."
He was still very young at that time and did not understand the reason.
But now, when he looked at the powerful and domineering Senju Hashirama in front of him, he suddenly seemed to understand something.
My grandfather promised to provide Konoha with 2 billion taels of financial support every year, and demanded that future generations of daimyo cannot be reduced. It turned out that he was forced to do so?
Hashirama stared at the daimyo and said calmly: "I founded Konoha, and I will never allow anyone to hurt him."
"Madara couldn't do it back then, and neither can you!"
"Take back what you just said, otherwise, I don't mind if the Fire Country changes its name."
"The great name of the Kingdom of Wind is dead. If another great name of the Kingdom of Fire dies, it should be easier for everyone to accept it!"
