"What should we do? Konoha has discovered the poisoning!"
"You idiots! I said before that poisoning would not cause much damage to Konoha, but would anger them!"
"Motohisa-kun, didn't you promise us that this virus could severely damage Konoha?"
"I also heard from someone in that company."
"You idiot! You killed us all!"
"I think, just leave this idiot to Konoha!"
"No you can't do that!"
In the secret room underground, thirteen nobles from seven different families were sitting on their knees, arguing and accusing each other.
"That's enough! Stop arguing! At this time, internal strife will only make us die faster!"
A middle-aged nobleman sitting on the main seat calmed the quarrel temporarily with great authority.
"Master Xian, what should we do now?" Nakano Motohisa, who provided the virus, is the most uneasy among everyone.
"Motohisa, why didn't the virus spread in Konoha like you described?" The middle-aged nobleman known as Ken-sama looked at the young Nakano Motohisa and asked seriously.
"Perhaps the physique of those ninjas is far superior to that of ordinary people, and they can resist the invasion of the virus." Nakano Motohisa explained a little stutteringly.
He stood up, walked up to Nakano Motojiu, and Master Xian slapped him hard in the face.
Nakano Motojiu, who fell to the ground and covered the right side of his face, did not dare to defend himself. He just sat up again and lowered his head in shame.
"The system of ninjas is different from that of ordinary people. Did you only know that now? You know that because of your problems, we are now in a situation where we will die at any time! You are going to kill us all!" Xian was furious.
The Lord sat back down on the throne and glared at Nakano Motojiu with bloodshot eyes.
"Master Xian, there is no point in pursuing this idiot's problem now. Let's think about how to get out of this incident!" The person who persuaded him was named Shan Takaken. He said at the early stage of the plan.
I objected, but unfortunately no one listened.
"Xian! I regret that I didn't listen to your advice and let things get to this point. What good method do you have now?" In the eyes of Lord Xian, Shan Takaxian, who originally raised objections, suddenly became a visionary.
smart people.
With a helpless expression, Yamatakaken pondered for a while and then said: "Konoha will not give up on this kind of thing easily! Let's not even think about peace talks with Konoha."
Speaking of this, Shan Takaken looked at several nobles intentionally.
"There is only one way for now! Try our best to erase the traces of our participation, and at the same time throw out enough scapegoats to satisfy Konoha."
Speaking of important scapegoats, many nobles present instinctively looked at Nakano Motohisa, whose right cheek was swollen.
Being looked at by so many eyes, Nakano Motojiu was extremely frightened and said in a panic: "Everyone! Please, don't give up on me! I don't want to die!"
As he spoke, Nakano Motojiu's tears and snot flowed out.
Seeing Nakano Motohisa who was so unbecoming of an aristocrat, a trace of disgust flashed in Master Xian's eyes.
"Is it okay to use the people below?" At least here, Master Xian cannot directly say who he wants to sell.
Otherwise, the nobles participating in the meeting will definitely shrink back in the future.
After hearing Master Xian's words, Nakano Motojiu, who cried bitterly, raised his head and looked over with gratitude, his face full of flattery.
"It's just a businessman, Konoha will not be satisfied." He sighed, Yamatakaken said.
"What about the little nobles below?" Master Xian continued to ask.
After hesitating for a moment, Shan Takaken said: "Maybe we can give it a try."
"Then I'll leave it to you! In addition to the main family of the family here, the other branch families and affiliated nobles will be arranged and dealt with by you." At the critical moment of life and death, this wise man who is also in a high position in the central government can sacrifice everything he can.
"All I can say is, use your full strength." Shan Takaken didn't dare to vouch for it.
"That's enough. The disaster this time is too big and it's hard for you." Mr. Xian, who is proficient in managing people, knows that at this time, he cannot put too much pressure on his subordinates.
"I will try my best." Shan Takaken once again expressed his attitude.
Nodding with satisfaction, Master Xian looked around at the expressions of other nobles and began to say: "Everyone, I have already punished Mr. Yuanjiu. You cannot hold him accountable in the future."
"Yes!" Voices sounded one after another. These nobles agreed on the surface, but it is not known what they thought in their hearts.
"Okay, let's all leave in turn!" Mr. Xian planned to have a private chat with Yama Takaken after the meeting was over.
At the end of the meeting, the participating nobles were very carefully divided into several groups, and one group went out every seven or eight minutes.
After leaving the secret room and coming to the temple on the ground, these nobles did not speak a word and left through different doors of the temple under the protection of their respective guards.
What these departing nobles didn't know was that after they left the temple, there were disguised Root Ninjas lurking in the temple and in the woods outside the temple, following them away.
"Xian, if Nakano Motohisa and the family behind him are thrown out, are you sure you can put an end to this matter?"
In the secret room, only Mr. Xian and Yama Takaken, who were presiding over the meeting, were left.
"If we can add some minor nobles, it should be okay." Being cautious, Yamatakaken still didn't finish his words.
Understanding this young man's character, Mr. Xian nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then do it! I believe you can do it well."
"Yes, I understand!" Shan Longxian lowered his head and replied.
"Alas! Xian, don't blame me for being cruel. I have no choice but to do it. If we can't get Konoha to stop the search, we won't be able to hide for long. By then, it won't be the Nakano clan who will die, but all of us.
"
Worried that his ruthlessness would be frightened by Yama Takaken, the wise man made a heartbroken expression, as if he was extremely helpless.
"Master Xian, I understand your painstaking efforts! This is all for the great cause." Shan Takaken said excitedly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With an expression of relief, Master Xian said: "It's great that you understand!"
"This is my order. If you take it, everyone will obey your arrangements." He took out a small gold medal from his inner pocket and handed it to Shan Takaken solemnly.
"Everything is up to you."
Touching the order with both hands, Shan Takaken replied: "Yes!"
After handing the warrant to Yama Takaken, Master Xian, who had many things to do, did not stay in the secret room for long. After a few more instructions, he immediately left the secret room.
After Mr. Xian left, Shan Takaken sat relaxedly in his seat, playing with the warrant in his right hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.
After a while, the door to the secret room was opened from the outside, and a ninja from the mountain clan walked in.
"You did a great job!" Looking at Yama Takaken, the jounin of the mountain clan, he praised with a smile.
After leaving his position and standing up, Yamatakaken walked up to the Konoha ninja and handed over the warrant in his hand, "Sir, this is the warrant from Finance Minister Ansan Ken."
"Not bad!" He praised again, and the Yamanaka Jonin took the order, "According to our agreement, you and your family will become a member of Konoha, and you can act as agent for all Konoha's business."
A flash of excitement flashed across his face. Shan Takaken knew that he and his family were finally safe during this major change. If nothing unexpected happened, the family would lose its status and privileges as a noble in the future.
, and land, but can still retain the wealth of generations.
This is enough!
"Thank you for your care!" Shan Takaken said gratefully.
"This is all the merit you deserve. We in Konoha don't care about family background, everything depends on merit and ability. Come on and work hard! In the future, you may become the finance minister of Konoha." Yamanaka Jonin said half-jokingly
said.
"Don't dare to hope!" Shan Takaken replied modestly.
