There is one exception.

That is Nara Shikaku.

The daimyo-sama's...order?

Nara Shikaku's eyes suddenly became strange.

The current daimyo of the Fire Country is not a monarch loyal to the expansion of territory.

The Fire Nation occupies the most fertile land in the world and has the largest population and resources in the world.

This is a big fat in the eyes of other countries.

The first thing the Fire Nation daimyo must consider is how to defend this fertile land, rather than letting Konoha conquer the east and west!

Even if the Daimyo of the Fire Country wanted to forge ahead, he would not dare to let the Konoha Ninja Village go to war in the north and south!

People's desires are endless, and their appetites will grow bigger and bigger.

As long as the Daimyo of the Fire Country is not a fool with abnormal brain development, there is no way he would give Qianye such an order!

This will seriously destroy the balanced situation that the Daimyo has worked hard to achieve.

Break the existing order and chaos will arise.

Variables will also be generated.

The higher you go, the more you hate variables.

They just like stability!

Stability is the most important thing!

Now that he unexpectedly heard Qianye saying that this order came from the mouth of the Daimyo, Nara Shikaku felt an indescribable sense of humor. He said to himself in his heart:

'Haha, unless the daimyo is controlled by illusion, how could he issue such an order?'

Controlled by illusion?!!!

These words of ridicule were like a thunderbolt striking.

Thinking of Qianye's behavior, he was shocked to find that this matter was very likely!

Nara Shikaku was so frightened that he could no longer control the changes in his expression.

His pupils dilated, the corners of his mouth tightened, and his body didn't stop until he touched the back of the chair.

It seems that only in this way can it bring him some sense of security.

The right hand that was placed under the table had been clenched into a fist at some point. The thumb was close to the palm and wrapped by the other four fingers. There was sweat seeping out of the palm and it was sticky, but it was not uncomfortable at all.

Nara Shikaku carefully observed Qianye's expression. As soon as his eyes moved over, he met Qianye's eyes.

Qianye's eyes were so vicious that he immediately noticed something strange about Nara Shikaku.

LV5's acting skills allowed Qianye to tell at a glance that Nara Shikaku was nervous and scared!

Why should he feel nervous and afraid?

After everyone hears this news, the normal reaction should be to be relaxed. Why is he afraid?

Could it be...

Qianye's mind was deep, and countless thoughts flashed through him: 'Could it be that Nara Shikaku noticed something strange about the daimyo and speculated that he was controlled by me using illusions?'

"It should be said that he is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Ninja War. He is so smart."

At the moment when they looked at each other, Qianye deduced the opposite and set his eyes on Nara Shikaku.

His eyes seemed gentle to outsiders, but only Nara Shikaku, who was being stared at by Qianye, knew how terrifying Qianye's eyes were at this moment!

It was like an unfathomable abyss of purgatory, and he was just an ant walking on the edge of the abyss.

'Run away!'

‘Run away!!’

His will screamed desperately, telling him to run away as far as possible from this monster.

But the body refused to obey orders and could not move.

Just a glance!

This made Nara Shikaku lose the courage to resist.

"This is a copy of the daimyo's handwriting. Please circulate it among yourselves." Qianye withdrew his gaze, and the terrifying mental oppression disappeared without a trace.

Uchiha Kagura passed on the copy of the handwriting he had prepared earlier.

After reading the copy, Yamanaka Haiichi, who was sitting next to Nara Shikaku, put the document on Nara Shikaku's desk.

But Nara Shikaku seemed to be in a distant place, not even looking at the documents in front of him.

This made Yamanaka Haiichi a little worried.

Something is not right about Shikaku's situation. Is he afraid?

But what is he afraid of?

Yamanaka Kaiichi quietly poked Nara Shikaku's outer thigh with his thumb:

"Shikaku, are you okay?"

Stimulated by the outside world, Nara Shikaku suddenly trembled, turned to look at his close friend beside him, his face was as white as paper, he squeezed out a stiff smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a hoarse voice:

"No...it's okay. I've been a little too tired these past few days and haven't had a good rest." Nara Shikaku casually made an excuse and said perfunctorily.

This secret was too shocking, and he didn't want his best friend to fall into this terrifying whirlpool.

Seeing that Nara Shikaku was unwilling to tell him, Yamanaka Kai kept his worries in his heart and reminded him with a pun:

"You are the brains of our Zhuludiesan family. If you get exhausted, who will direct me and Ding Zuo in the future?"

His best friend's cryptic statement made Nara Shikaku's face look better: "Don't worry, it's okay."

That look from Qianye made Nara Shikaku understand that he had no way out.

Either put all your wealth and life on Qianye's pirate ship, or commit eighteen knives in the back and commit suicide.

Anyway, I have made up my mind to join the Fifth Hokage, so this is not a bad thing!

I can also let the Godaime Hokage see my intelligence.

Some things suddenly become different if you think about them from another angle.

"Haiichi, tell Ding Zao that I am going to lead the family to surrender to the Fifth Hokage and serve as the leader.

This matter is of great importance, so I won’t say much about how the Yamazaka and Akimichi clan should decide.”

After Nara Shikaku finished speaking, he remained silent, symbolically glanced at the copy of the handwriting, and passed it to others.

Yamanaka Haiichi, who was sitting in his seat, was overwhelmed with emotion.

'What exactly does Shikaku mean? Why did he make such a decision all of a sudden? Is it related to the strange thing just now?'

'This time, will our three families advance together and retreat together?'

Loyalty to the Godaime and serving the Godaime as the leader are completely different things.

The former is an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship, while the latter is a subordinate relationship!

This means that Nara Shikaku and the Nara clan must obey orders issued by Qianye!
