The capital of the Fire Nation, the residence of Minister Zuo.

Minister Zuo, who had just returned from the court meeting and looked very surprised, took off his cumbersome court clothes while being served by a group of maids, and sat in the study wearing only a thin singlet.

The cool breeze from the electric fan nearby made him feel very comfortable.

But when he thought that this electric fan was produced in Konoha, his face couldn't help but become even more ugly.

Konoha! Konoha! Konoha!

Who would have thought that Konoha has developed rapidly in the past few years, and even unexpectedly and boldly extended its tentacles to all parts of the Land of Fire.

Especially in the border areas where the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder, and the Land of Fire and the Land of Water are at war, Konoha has recently arrested a number of corrupt officials on the grounds of corruption and slacking in governance and delaying war flights.

That's all. After all, the evidence is conclusive and it's related to war. After the Fire Nation official handles it, a group of people will be replaced.

However, what I didn't expect was that Konoha took the war as a priority and directly managed it on its behalf.

This has never happened before and has never been thought of.

The Country of Fire and Konoha have always practiced the one-country-one-village system.

The former controls the country's political and economic power, while the latter is limited to military positions, and can even be said to be a mercenary army to a certain extent.

However, in the past few years, Konoha has unexpectedly begun to cross the line frequently.

This made the top management of the Fire Nation gradually become wary.

The same is true for Minister Zuo.

Especially the fire and water border areas controlled by Konoha should have been his sphere of influence.

Every year, my family’s profits from smuggling to the Kingdom of Water are extremely huge.

Not to mention the source of it was cut off after being controlled by Konoha. Even though the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Fire have now signed a peace truce agreement, Konoha still refuses to withdraw from it on the grounds of precaution.

This made him particularly resentful.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Therefore, in the current anti-Konoha trend that is rising in the Fire Nation, Minister Zuo, who is one of the top officials of the Fire Nation, is playing a very important role.

"Hmph! A group of tools deserves to have its own thoughts!"

At this time, Minister Zuo noticed the book titled "New Edition of the Will of Fire" on the desk, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

As he contributed more and more to the opposition to Konoha, Minister Zuo gradually began to understand the former in all aspects.

Naturally, the "New Edition of the Will of Fire" written by the Fourth Hokage himself caught his eye.

After reading this book, which he thought was completely wrong, he finally understood the source of Konoha's restlessness.

The Fourth Hokage!

This is a man who is completely different from the previous three generations of Hokage, and has unprecedented ambitions!

You can see his evil intentions from his books.

What about natural human rights, breaking class monopoly, universal education, etc.

When will mud-legged people be worthy of being compared with their naturally rich stomachs?

This is undoubtedly an evil book!

But I have to say that it is very attractive to those mud-legged people.

Even with his help, this book has been banned and is not allowed to be sold in the Land of Fire.

But his thoughts still flow like an undercurrent throughout the Fire Country.

As a traditional aristocrat, Minister Zuo is still unable to understand how this trend of thought will change if it is truly amplified.

However, in the past few years, the overwhelmed civilian resistance has erupted more frequently than before, which also made him feel strongly defensive.

He knew that his efforts were only treating the symptoms but not the root cause, because the real culprit was still in Konoha Village.

"When the first, second, and third generations of Hokage were in power, Konoha and the Land of Fire were always close. Now the fourth generation of Hokage dares to violate the system set by the ancestors and expand privately for his own ambitions, causing a gap between the two sides who have always been united.

, He is truly a huge sinner!" Minister Zuo said indignantly, "For the Country of Fire! And for Konoha! This sinner must be eradicated!"

He just said that, but when he actually wanted to do it, he found it very difficult.

You know, almost all the military power of the Fire Country is in the hands of Konoha Hokage.

Although Minister Zuo has good intentions, he has no power.

No, there is a power that does not belong to Konoha.

"Guardian of the Twelve Ninjas. I remember that some ninjas led by Kazuma were quite dissatisfied with the Hokage. They believed that all power in the Land of Fire should be given to the Daimyo. This power can actually help it grow and develop faster.

Get up."

Minister Zuo's eyes lit up, and he continued, "It's not enough to have one's own strength. Konoha is by no means the fourth generation of one-person hall. The third Hokage, the elder of Konoha's advisory board, and Danzo, who is said to have been imprisoned to this day.

Wait, the elders of Konoha must have something to say about the Fourth Generation's complete change of Konoha's policy. Even if these people are no longer in power, after all, they have been in Konoha for so many years and have a lot of old subordinates. If they join forces, the four

It would be the best if the Daime is overthrown and Konoha can return to the right path."

Just do it.

Minister Zuo quickly called people or wrote letters, and implemented the strategies he had in mind.

However, he did not know that everything he had done had been watched by an ANBU ninja wearing a black robe and mask in a hidden place.

......

Konoha, Hokage's Office.

Looking at the latest ANBU secrets coming from the capital of the Fire Nation, Yunting smiled slightly and said, "Our Minister Zuo is really impatient."

In the office at this time, in addition to the female secretary Ritsuko Yamanaka, there is also Nara Shikaku, one of the two most important assistants of the current Hokage.

Namikaze Minato is not here.

The whole thing is ultimately related to the Third Hokage. Although Minato now agrees with the concept of the new will of fire, he is Jiraiya's disciple after all. In order to prevent him from being in a dilemma and to avoid unnecessary accidents, Yunmen

Ting was kind enough to let him concentrate on other things.

As the leader of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku, who has been beaten or pulled by Yunting in the past few years, has completely stood on Yunting's ship, and there is no need to hide it anymore.

"Minister Zuo's decision did not surprise us." As Konoha's think tank, Nara Shikaku, who participated in the entire grand plan formulated by Yunting, said calmly.

It is strange that Minister Zuo and others did not jump hastily in response to Konoha's overstepping of boundaries and damaging their interests.

"Now that the fish has taken the bait, prepare to close the Internet cafe." Yunting said calmly.

"So, should we deal with the inside first or the outside first?" Nara Shikaku's eyes narrowed and he asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry about the inside for now. After all, they are just grasshoppers after the autumn and cannot make big waves. Let's go to the outside first! Eradicate the twelve guardian ninjas, a force that does not belong to Konoha, and those people like Minister Zuo who are dancing happily.

If the suppression continues, the peace negotiation delegation from Yunyin Village will soon arrive. In order to prepare for the future, the Fire Country needs a certain amount of time to stabilize."

Speaking of the Yunyin Village peace talks mission, Yun Ting's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which obviously had a lot of profound meaning.

Nara Shikaku, who was aware of Yuntei's plan, nodded in agreement: "I understand. I'll ask Shikama to take action with the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. By the way, Hokage-sama, do you need to tell Asuma?"<

/p>

Asuma Sarutobi now joins the Twelve Guardian Ninja with the consent of Yun Ting, just like in the original history.

As a staunch supporter of the Hokage faction, he and his companions who share the same philosophy are incompatible with the overthrowing Hokage faction headed by Kazuma.

In response, Yun Ting shook his head and said: "Asuma is a sentimental person. I'm afraid he doesn't want to see the guardian ninjas killing each other. So it's better to put it aside and let the ANBU promote the whole operation. In the end, let him follow the trend.

That’s it.”

"Yes!" Nara Shikaku obeyed.

Soon, a messenger eagle flew towards the capital of the Kingdom of Fire with secret orders.

At the same time, there was an ANBU team that set off at almost the same time.

Among them, a ninja wearing a cat-face mask and shorter than the others looked back at the village behind him, feeling guilty for missing another appointment with his brother.

But soon, his eyes were filled with determination.

For Konoha, everything is worth it.

At this time, Yun Ting was also standing in front of the window and looking into the distance, as if he was watching the ANBU team gradually disappear.

Compared to the villagers below who were filled with a happier color than before, he understood everything very clearly. From the moment the ANBU team set off, a torrent that would truly rewrite history would erupt.

He has been waiting for this moment for more than three years.

Now, with a strong army and more like-minded people around him, he no longer hesitates.

It's time to take the real first step.

......

"The new wind has begun to blow!"

Tianzhiguo, in a secret base.
