Uchiha's Counterattack

Chapter 157 Prelude to the Rebellion in the Capital ①
The capital of the Land of Fire, Daming Mansion.

Kuroizumi and Youemon, who had traveled for seven days and seven nights, finally arrived at the heavily guarded Daming Mansion. After handing over the invitation letter of the Daming Mansion to the guard in charge, the guard glanced at the two of them with his eyes and said coldly. A sentence.

"Wait here."

When the guard spoke, he held his head high and looked down at the two of them, with an extremely arrogant attitude.That performance did not mean to put the famous Uchiha in his eyes at all, and even carried an inexplicable sense of superiority.

This is the most interesting point in Naruto World. Although ninjas in this world belong to high-level combat forces, they still obey the deployment and command of the Daming Prefecture in name.To be honest, Xia Nan really can't figure out why it has become such a distorted system, but he guesses that this may have something to do with the first generation of Hokage. That guy can kowtow at the Five Kages Conference. I'm afraid the attitude will be more respectful.

Of course, this is just speculation, and Xia Nan is not sure if it has something to do with the first generation.But what Xia Nan can be sure of is that if Hokage was Uchiha Madara back then... Well, the grass on the grave of the daimyo would probably be seven feet high, and the so-called five great ninja villages would not exist.

Another thing to note here is that there is also a general's mansion in the Daming mansion, which is a special department responsible for mobilizing all the troops in the country of fire.

The Daming Mansion also has the right to order the General's Mansion. In name, both the General's Mansion and Konoha Village must obey the order of the Daming.But in fact both have a fairly high level of autonomy.

In terms of status, the Daming Mansion is higher than the General's Mansion, and the General's Mansion is higher than Muye Village.

In other words, no matter from which point of view, Muye Village should be the most powerful, but it ranks below a group of ordinary people.This is obviously an extremely unreasonable and distorted system, but it exists in such a strange way in this world that no one even feels that there is anything wrong with it.

Looking at the performance of the guards in this way, it can be understood. After all, they are the gatekeepers of the Daming Mansion. According to our localized understanding, they are the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate. Naturally, they look down on these old-fashioned ninjas from the "countryside". .Even if they hadn't seen the invitation from the Daimyofu, these little soldiers probably wouldn't bother to talk to Kuroizumi and Youemon.

"This bastard who looks down on people!"

Heiquan cursed angrily, Heiquan, who is under one person in the family and above ten thousand, has never been discriminated against like this.The most hateful thing was that the guard could die with a single slap, yet he had the feeling that he couldn't touch him.Damn it, if Master Xia Nan was here, that bastard would have been burned to death!

But after all, the Daming Mansion is still the owner of the entire Fire Kingdom, and it is also the financial owner of Muye Village over the years, so Heiquan can't lose his temper indiscriminately.

"Be patient, these nobles are like this, they look down on anyone with arrogance, and only when Lord Hokage comes in person, they will probably restrain themselves. As for us...hehe, maybe they still discriminate against us It's the wild ninja from the countryside."

Youemon comforted helplessly, who made them ninjas look like servants who took money to do things in the eyes of these nobles, as long as there is a need, just give the money directly, and the ninjas will naturally deal with all the rest.

Over time, this mutually beneficial behavior seems to deteriorate. The more money-hungry ninjas rely on the nobles, and the nobles have grasped this point, so they can use ninjas unscrupulously.

"Asshole, when did our Uchiha suffer this kind of grievance!"

Heiquan almost died of anger, the journey for seven days and seven nights was already very hard, and the original good mood was completely disturbed by that soldier.

"Forget it, everyone in the Daming Mansion is like this. And it's not just here. After entering, you will face many nobles and warriors in front of the temple. These people usually don't even have much respect for Hokage. If it were us Ninjas from this kind of family, if they don’t get ridiculed face-to-face, it’s considered good for them.”

"Master Heiquan, you must be patient. Although the trouble here is not very serious, the consequences will be very, very troublesome. It is so troublesome that even Mr. Xia Nan may feel a headache."

Eemon said with a wry smile.

"Woo—damn it! Bastard! Go to hell!"

Heiquan scolded a few words angrily, then turned around angrily.

Seeing this scene, Youemon shook his head. He was much older than Kuroizumi, and naturally he had seen more.

People in Konoha Village say that they are arrogant Uchiha clan. That is because the village is too small and many people have never seen the world. When they come out to see the outside world, especially the dignitaries near the Daming Mansion, these guys are arrogant. Well, beating and reprimanding civilians at will, and even killing them is just a sum of money.

The Land of Fire is the same as other countries. Although there are not many portrayed, they are all obviously feudal countries.From the daimyo of the leader of a country, the descending order is the general, the noble class, the second noble class, the samurai class, the ninja class, and finally the civilian class.

The civilian class can be divided into "upper people" and "lower people".

In layman's terms, they are free people and untouchables (refugees).Free people generally become vassals of a certain nobleman, farming land for the nobles and providing monthly income in exchange for peace, but the untouchables are different, they have no cadastre and belong to rootless ducks, no one cares about the life and death of this group of people, they There is no property or dignity at all.

The nobles can kill the untouchables at will without being blamed. If the freedmen rob the untouchables' property and cause casualties, the freedmen only need to provide a "crime money" to get bail from the local tribune. It can be said to be fart Nothing.But on the contrary, no matter what the untouchables do, they are all wrong, ranging from beatings to maiming to death.

Especially when there is a famine, the number of refugees will increase sharply. At this time, do you think that the Daming Mansion will send people to help?Wrong, the relief is given to the nobles in various places, and then the nobles are given priority to the warriors, and the rest will be given to the free folk who are protected by the family.

As for the untouchables who starved to death in groups?That was fate, and no one could save them.In other words, even if they can be saved, they will not save them. After all, the nobles are selfish groups and must give priority to their own people. The untouchables come every year, and they will spread the news if they give a batch. Next time there is a famine, they will come again. Coming to beg for food is annoying.

Therefore, there will be armed uprisings everywhere in every disaster year, and often at this time, the nobles will send samurai to lead soldiers to suppress it. If the samurai class cannot suppress it, it is time for the ninjas to dispatch.However, ninja dispatches were always expensive. The price of hiring three teams of ninjas to suppress the refugees was enough to buy a lot of food to appease the hundreds of people who could not survive.

But the nobles would rather spend money to hire ninjas to kill those untouchables than to spend an extra penny to buy even a grain of rice to relieve the victims.

The magical country and the wonderful system, every time I review the history of the ninja world and its constituent system, I always feel that the world must be sick there, otherwise how could there be such an unreasonable and pathological system, and it has continued for nearly Thousands of years?
In fact, Kuroizumi is the same as Youemon when he came out this time. In addition to coming to the Daming Mansion to get rewards, he also has the task of investigating the number and distribution of refugees in the Land of Fire. Come out and give it to Heiquan. As long as Heiquan goes to more places, all kinds of information nearby will be recorded on the map with his personal photo.

The refugees wished to crush these nobles like tarsus maggots, but Xia Nan was thirsty for them. As long as he could guarantee the supply of food, he would welcome the more the population. After all, the more the population provided, the better the fate Even if the point is only 0.01 per month, it is a large amount of income.

Secondly, the larger the population, the more helpful it is for Muye Village to recover. After all, the number of ninjas that Muye Village lost before is too large. In a short period of time, it is impossible to raise many ninjas based on its own population. It must be obtained from the outside world. Just supplement it.

It's just that Xia Nan is busy building the infrastructure of Xinkonoha right now, and doesn't have time to do it in person, and it just so happens that Heiquan and the others are coming to the Daming Mansion, so Xia Nan simply asks Heiquan to do this.
