After Danzo finished speaking, the two Konoha ninjas who were guarding outside the hall used a teleportation technique to come to both sides of Anshan Ken.
Each grabbing an arm, the two Konoha ninjas dragged the Finance Minister of the Fire Country, who was about to faint, away from him.
"Let me go! You are the following criminals, and Konoha has no right to arrest me! Danzo! You traitor! Rebel! Traitor!" Anshan Ken said with a sad and indignant look on his face, knowing his miserable fate.
Cursed loudly.
"Shut him up!" Danzo said coldly, hating the noise.
With a sword, Konoha's ninja easily knocked An Sanxian unconscious.
There was silence in the hall, and the noble officials present were frightened by Danzo's roughness and cruelty.
The nobles who participated in the poisoning incident were even more pale at this moment, and their legs were trembling.
Other nobles stayed away from these people and did not dare to show any close relationship with these "dead people".
Facing the looks of these nobles asking for help, the noble officials lowered their heads silently, bastard! Don't look at me, we are so unfamiliar!
On this day, those nobles who maintained their status and bloodline and looked aloof were completely trampled under the feet of Danzo, Konoha and Kizaru.
Noble? How many divisions do you have?
In three days, except for the Yamataka clan, the other six noble families involved in the poisoning incident were all liquidated by Konoha.
Arrest people, search homes, confiscate land, and count all assets.
After an open and transparent review and calculation, the total net worth of these six noble families combined is less than half of the compensation.
If you can't pay the compensation, it's easier to use someone to pay for it!
Regardless of whether they were the main family, branch families, or children of families who had been loyal to them for generations, they were all captured by the ninjas of Konoha and sent to the village for labor compensation.
Konoha's ruthless yet legal methods made the other nobles of the Fire Country so frightened that they could only hide their little thoughts deep in their hearts.
And this also brought another impact, that is, some nobles of the Fire Country began to seek a way out.
Some nobles privately approached the ninjas of Konoha and expressed their intention to surrender. They did not want to retain all their land and property, but only wanted to maintain their basic dignity.
This category is basically the small and medium-sized nobles of the Fire Country. They don't occupy much land themselves, and they rely more on culture or force to pass down their families.
】
There are also some nobles who choose to contact foreign countries, preparing to give up their land and move to other countries with their property.
These nobles are basically emerging nobles whose main business is business.
The most stubborn ones are the traditional old nobles who hold high positions and occupy large amounts of land.
For these people, territory and fields are their lifeblood, and if they want to give up, they will be killed.
------------------
In the Kingdom of Thunder, the new daimyo who had received the guarantee of the Third Raikage, after returning to the capital, changed his low-key style when he took the throne and began to enjoy himself.
If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow.
Renovate the palace, recruit dancing girls, wear fine clothes and fine food, and become drunk with paper and gold.
This daimyo, who had never received any education as a monarch and unexpectedly rose to power, chose to work as a beggar.
The daimyo, who had been back in the capital for several days, was indifferent to the affairs of the country, and even ignored those loyal people who wanted to remonstrate.
The government of the Kingdom of Thunder is still running normally. On the one hand, the noble officials control the power and operate smoothly. On the other hand, the daimyo brought back a female ninja from Yunyin Village who is good at handling affairs.
This female ninja is one of the assistants of the Third Raikage. When she was in Hidden Cloud Village, she specialized in assisting the Raikage in handling village affairs. She is one of the most trusted subordinates of the Third Raikage, who dislikes trivial matters.
In order to show his bad attitude, the new Daimyo made various requests to get this female ninja from the Third Raikage, and entrusted her with all the power to handle official affairs to show his sincerity.
It is now autumn and winter, and the back gardens built by the great lords of the Land of Thunder are still a beautiful and intoxicating scene.
In a pavilion, the new daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder was lying on a bamboo couch. Four beautiful ladies stood around the bamboo couch, pouring wine and food for the daimyo.
In front of the pavilion, there is a small open space with bluestone slabs, where musicians and dancers perform graceful dances.
Humming a little tune and waving his fingers, the daimyo narrowed his eyes slightly, looking leisurely and contented.
In the distance, an aristocratic official with several guards forcefully broke through the guards and walked quickly to the front of the pavilion.
"Lord Daimyo! I have something urgent to report!" Rushing to the dancing girl, facing the unresponsive Daimyo, the official raised his head and shouted loudly. (In the comics, he is called Lord Lord, which feels weird!)
After waving his hand to ask the dancing girls, musicians, and the incompetent guards who were chasing him to retreat, the daimyo propped up the bamboo couch with his hands and sat upright.
"Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"
"Lord Daimyo, I received letters from the nobles of the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. They were persecuted by the Ninja Village. They are willing to move to the Kingdom of Thunder with their wealth and samurai, and contribute all their strength to suppress the ninja's rebellion.
"This noble official in his prime looked at the daimyo expectantly.
Frowning slightly, the daimyo said calmly: "The Raikage and Cloud Hidden Village are loyal to us, how can they be said to be rebellious?"
"The other ninja villages are in chaos. How long will Yunyin Village be stable? The delay is extreme. We are trying our best to absorb the power of nobles from all over the world to prevent unexpected events." The noble official tried hard to persuade.
"That's enough!" The daimyo slapped the armrest of the bamboo couch angrily, looking furious, "If you dare to sow discord between me and Yunyin Village again, get out of here!"
Heartbroken and helpless, the noble official said anxiously: "The major ninja villages have shown their disobedience, how can we sit still and wait for death? Please consider for the sake of the country and family, don't waste time anymore."
"You!" He raised his hand angrily and pointed at the nobleman. The daimyo was furious, "Come here, throw him out!"
"Daimyo! If you continue to indulge in wine and sex, the Kingdom of Thunder will fall in your hands." After being caught by the guarding samurai, the noble official said excitedly while struggling.
"Get out!" He yelled angrily, and the daimyo grabbed the fruit plate in the hands of the beautiful girl on the side and threw it forward.
When the noble official who was talking nonsense was caught out of the garden, the daimyo, who was still angry, gasped and closed his eyes.
After a while, the daimyo calmed down, slowly opened his eyes, and said to the air beside him: "Tell the Raikage what happened today! It is up to him to decide whether to accept the nobles of other countries."
"Yes!" A voice sounded from nowhere.
Exhaling a breath, the daimyo lay down on the bamboo couch again, "Keep playing music, keep dancing!"
As soon as the words fell, the music started playing, and the dancers who had just retreated to the sides came to the front of the pavilion with light steps and continued dancing.
