I established Kua Kua Cult in Naruto.

Chapter 662: Everyone is lucky. If you don’t hit the wall once, you won’t know how to turn back.

For three days in a row, there were constant banquets in the Daimyo Palace. Kabuki troupes and acrobatic troupes from all over the Land of Fire performed continuously. Even the maidens, shrine maidens, and wandering maidens came in batches.

Some people even speculated that the reason why the daimyo held such a large banquet was not because the Fourth Hokage, Tatsuma Sakamoto, came to visit, but because the daimyo took the opportunity to have fun. Otherwise, why didn't even the slightest political comment come out for three days in a row?

"Everyone, if this continues, I'm afraid there will be rumors that are detrimental to the Daming Mansion. Do you have any good ideas?"

In a dark conference room, rumors were constantly being spread. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who controlled the Hundred Girls, was looking anxious and dripping with sweat. He kept using a folding fan to dissipate heat from his head.

He didn't dare to have fun in these three days. Those who recruited the kabuki troupe or skilled women were all used to delay Tatsuma Sakamoto, just to prevent Tatsuma from coming to him to discuss political affairs so early. At least he had to Wait a little longer.

But Tatsuma seemed to have been fooled, and would go to the show whenever there was one, and showed no signs of resistance or eagerness to discuss political matters.

At the same time, Chenma did not avoid the maid sent to him, but always said "change a batch". In one day, he saw all the employees in Daming Mansion.

This forced Daming Mansion to urgently mobilize personnel from surrounding towns. If Chenma could no longer be held back, they would either have to negotiate, or they would have to mobilize employees from the entire country for Chenma to choose from.

Songjie, as a state minister, has never been treated like this! And Songjie also knows that it is impossible to really mobilize practitioners from the entire country.

If that were the case, the reputation of Tatsuma, him, and the entire daimyo government would be ruined. Even Tatsuma, who had countless military exploits on display, would be the one whose reputation was least damaged.

After all, while there were outrageous rumors about constant entertainment in the Daimyo's palace, many people said, "The Yondaime has been fighting for the Fire Country for so many years, what's wrong with letting loose?" They even clamored to continue playing music and dancing.

Compared to the fourth-generation Hokage, who was young and promising, had great military exploits, and was never married, Matsuknot, who did nothing extra and was just inheriting his father's business with no fault, received countless scoldings.

If the delay continues, everyone's reputation will be stained. After Tatsuma's incident, just find a fight with a Kage from the ninja village and I'm afraid the stigma can be washed away.

But what about his Song Jie? Changes in the governance of a country are always subtle and cannot be dramatic. Therefore, no matter how good he does next, I am afraid he will never be able to get rid of the stigma of being a ruler of hundreds of women.

So now Tatsuma is not in a hurry, but Songknot is. He must get rid of this hat before his reputation is confirmed.

"When the Sandaime Hokage comes, he will not use force to suppress the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. Why not let the Twelve Guardian Ninjas put pressure again today?"

After hearing Songjie's question, an old official asked doubtfully. He was an official from the previous generation. He also retired with Songjie's succession, but recently, this group of old brothers were called back.

Therefore, he knew nothing about the current situation in the Country of Fire, or in other words, what happened in the Daimyo Palace in the past few days.

Hearing what this veteran said, the twelve guardian ninjas standing aside all looked ashamed. Why didn't they put pressure on the Yondaime Hokage? Don't you want to?

It can't be done!

As guardian ninja who are completely independent of the Ninja Village and completely dependent on and obey the command of the daimyo, they have been arrogant in the past. Although they know that one person cannot defeat the Hokage, twelve people combined can still pose a certain threat to the Hokage.

Of course, it refers to the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen has always given face. If there is anything, just talk about it. At worst, take a step back and ask for less funds.

But Sakamoto Tatsuma obviously didn't give much face. Three days ago, they also tried to "explicitly tell" Tatsuma not to go too far, but in the end, they lost the ability to resist without even taking action or using force to solve the problem.

That feeling of being conscious but completely unable to control your body is really terrifying.

At that time, let alone Tatsuma, any maid on the scene could easily wipe their necks. In front of the Yondaime Hokage, their protection of the Twelve Ninjas was like a joke.

They finally realized how powerful this Hokage was, who could take turns beating the other four ninja villages. He was so powerful that the defense force of the entire Daiming Palace, no, the entire Daming Palace, was not worth mentioning.

Therefore, using force to confront the Hokage and coerce the Hokage into making concessions, which was an invincible move during the Sandaime Hokage's reign, would not work at all.

At this time, Songknot also glanced sideways at a few people, and then shook his head helplessly, but still took their face into consideration, and said instead: "This is when the war is about to resume, so we can't offend the Hokage.

Moreover, in the past three years, Konoha has defended its territory for the Fire Country without giving in an inch. Compared with the other four major countries, our Fire Country has achieved a complete victory. How can we hurt the morale of the ninjas in the country at this time?

Moreover, the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Thunder have been losing consecutive wars, and their great names have never treated the Ninja Village harshly. We, the Kingdom of Fire, have been reporting great successes one after another. How can we go against the grain and punish them instead of rewards? "

Hearing Matsuknot's words, the twelve guardian ninjas looked much better. If Matsuknot told the truth, then the fault lies with the twelve of them. The fault lies with them being too weak.

And Songjie used the national justice to cover up for them, which saved their face, and the daimyo's words were the last word, even if he knew the inside story. No, after Songjie said this, there was no inside story.

They never tried to put pressure on the Yondaime Hokage. They were too tired that day and fell asleep accidentally.

When the old minister heard what Matsuketsu said, he had no doubts. He just nodded and said, "That's the truth. All countries are just putting up their no-war cards. The Shinobi War is not over yet. It is indeed unwise to offend the Hokage at this time. But. This time the Hokage's requirements were too harsh, and he even plotted against the country! Although it only had the economic power of a village, this was obviously not all Konoha's plots.

If Konoha achieves economic freedom, then the relationship between the Daimyo government and Konoha Hidden Village will no longer be one of equality and mutual dependence, but the Daimyo government must pray for Konoha's protection. "

Tanhe also said worriedly: "Yes, if the Hokage's purpose is just for money, then we can get it even if it is doubled several times, but its pension deposit policy.

I would like to suggest that we take the initiative to increase military expenditures and even increase the pensions set by Konoha. However, Konoha must abandon its own village debt system. If Konoha villagers are willing to invest, it will be converted into national debt. What do you think? "

The Fire Nation is not afraid of spending money, but they are afraid of Konoha saving money. If Konoha holds a large amount of cash flow, it will be harmful to the Daimyo government.

How could they, officials who have been dealing with the economy for half their lives, fail to see Konoha's purpose? But who dares to reject Tatsuma?

Matsuknot also said quietly at this time: "What if the Hokage refuses?"

Shut up when talking about it, he is in charge of the economy, but it is not his responsibility to talk to Tatsuma about this matter. This is what the daimyo should do, and he does not dare to take over this responsibility.

"It happens to be when the war is not over yet."

Matsujie flapped his fan faster. If it were peacetime, if Tatsuma dared to make such a request, he could transfer part of the Daming Palace's entrustment to other ninja villages at any time as a threat.

But now is the time of war. As a daimyo, if he dares to do this, then the Konoha ninjas will dare to hide in the hidden village of Konoha and never go out to fight until they reach the entrance of the village.

Moreover, Chenma's attitude these days also showed that he did not intend to negotiate.

For the Daimyo government, they have only two choices, either agree or reject, and there is no third option.

If Tatsuma's conditions could be changed, then he would have asked for discussions in the past few days instead of enjoying himself in the daimyo palace. He was just waiting for the daimyo government's answer.

Unless the Daimyo government has the means to completely restrict Konoha, the talks will be completely unable to proceed.

"or."

At this time, an old minister with leaky teeth slowly spoke with a trembling tone: "Contact other daimyo to end this Ninja War in advance?"

As soon as these words came out, Pine Knot's fanning movement stopped, he frowned, and said: "War wastes people and money, and other countries are not as wealthy as the Fire Country, so they must not be willing to continue investing in military expenditures.

Moreover, in this Ninja War, half of the ninjas in each country were lost. At this time, apart from public opinion, it was a good choice to stop. "

The difficulty now is that the war is not over yet. The Daimyo government does not have the capital to negotiate with Konoha. What if the war ends?

No one dared to agree easily, but the eye contact conveyed one meaning, that is, maybe it is feasible. The extremely old minister spoke again:

"In my opinion, the Kingdom of Wind wants to end the war the most. Why don't we start from here?"

Matsuknot's face was full of contemplation, and then he said hesitantly: "But if the war ends now, public opinion cannot be controlled, and Konoha may not be willing to do so."

"How could they be unwilling? Do they want to go to war even if they want to sell iron? Moreover, Konoha suffered heavy casualties. The Kunimo Daimyo's move was to recuperate Konoha and prepare for the next turmoil in the shinobi world.

As for public opinion and investing more in improving people's livelihood, it will take a year and a half to quell people's dissatisfaction, and they will even be grateful for the kindness of Germany's great names.

Anyway, if the money is not invested in people's livelihood construction, it must be allocated to Konoha. Besides, the Fire Nation will not benefit after Konoha gets the money. It is better to develop people's livelihood. "

"That makes sense, why not test the will of the Kingdom of Wind first?"

Matsuko nodded, and the other ministers also nodded. Only Tanhe, the person who had interacted with Tatsuma the most in the past few days, had a worried look on his face.

Another three days have passed, but the entertainment activities in the Daimyo Palace have decreased a lot in these three days, leaving only a few activities that comply with etiquette. However, Tatsuma still did not move and rested in the Daimyo Palace.

Before coming, he already knew that this time was bound to waste a lot of time. Since the Daimyo government did not give up, he was willing to let them do some useless work.

Everyone has a sense of luck. If you don't hit the wall once, you won't know how to look back.

Konohagakure Village, Kumogakure Village, Iwagakure Village, and Kirigakure Village also received diplomatic letters from Sunagakure Village on this day.

The fourth generation Kazekage Hayakura called for the convening of the Five Kage Talks. For the sake of peace in the shinobi world, the Five Kages should gather together, put aside their conflicts and prejudices, and hold talks to end the war.
