For Lei Luo, no matter what kind of plans the daimyo has or what kind of trump cards he prepares, as long as it is finally implemented at the battle level, the daimyo will definitely lose. This is Lei Luo's confidence in his own strength.
But if the daimyo didn't plan to play hardball with him, but before the conflict started, he would order his subordinates to do some very disgusting actions, such as:
1. Regularly check the body with an instrument that detects chakra fluctuations to see if it is controlled by genjutsu;
Second, directly pour dirty water on Tarello, claiming that the Hokage and Konoha are going to do something wrong to the daimyo;
Third, order the officials and nobles to collectively condemn Konoha, incite the common people of the Land of Fire to be hostile to Konoha, and occupy the moral high ground...
As long as the Daimyo actually uses one of the above actions, not only will Lei Luo be unable to control the opponent with illusions as originally planned, but he will also have to face overwhelming abuse from the Fire Country, and even problems will arise within Konoha.
If things really develop to that point, even if he has the support of capital forces, his plan to control the entire Country of Fire will definitely become extremely difficult.
This is the power of ideas and people's hearts, as well as the power of names and public opinion. Relying on force alone cannot make up for the disadvantages. There is no doubt that the daimyo has been extremely wary of him, and it is extremely possible to use the name of righteousness to launch a counterattack against him.
High, so Lei Luo...
The next step must be carefully considered.
Raising his hand slightly and touching his chin, Lei Luo stood there in silence for a long time, thinking about various subsequent arrangements in his mind:
He thought of keeping the original plan unchanged, thought of running over and killing people, thought of supporting the heirs of the great name to replace the great name...
But no matter how he chooses to act, if the daimyo gives instructions to his subordinates in advance, then as long as something goes wrong with the daimyo, there is a high probability that Konoha will encounter criticism and hostility from the entire Fire Nation, which is inevitable.
The Shuras used their lives to convey a silent message to Lei Luo on behalf of the daimyo:
I already know what you want to do, and I am fully prepared to face the worst case scenario. Therefore, if you still want to survive in the Land of Fire, you'd better be honest.
"Lord Hokage..."
Just as Lei Luo was getting more and more irritable as he thought about it, Lu Jiu carefully observed Lei Luo's face and moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
"explain."
Lu Jiu took a deep breath, worked his brain like crazy, and told Lei Luo all his thoughts: "I don't think we necessarily have to use force against the daimyo. After all, the daimyo is over seventy years old this year, and there is no telling when he will die of old age.
"
"Instead of fighting with the daimyo to the death and hurting both sides, it is better to choose a descendant of the daimyo to support him now. After the daimyo dies, we can use the new daimyo to achieve our own political goals."
Shikaku was aware of the Round Table Agreement, so his suggestion was to hold off on taking action. His main idea was to rely on the power of capitalists to tide over the difficult times and wait until the time was right to launch the reform plan.
Lei Luo gritted his teeth and replied: "But if we don't take action now, those businessmen will not see our sincerity, and the agreement will most likely be scrapped."
Seeing Lei Luo looking a little angry, Lu Jiu shook his head, considered his words, and calmly analyzed the preliminary content of the round table agreement:
"Sir Hokage, what the businessmen want to see is the result of the reform being successful. They don't care about the process."
"I have been thinking about that agreement during this period and discovered a very important point."
Realizing that there seemed to be something behind Lu Jiu's words, Lei Luo suppressed his restless mood and waved his hand, signaling the other party to continue speaking quickly.
Lu Jiu looked at Fugaku and the other three who were confused. He hesitated for a moment, then realized that Lei Luo had no intention of letting them leave, so he simply said bluntly:
"In my understanding, the reform plan is generally divided into two stages. The first stage is to control a group of important officials to speak for the reform and form factions. The second stage is to control the daimyo to establish reform policies."
"Of these two stages, the daimyo is only needed in the second stage. In the first stage, the daimyo's influence is not great. At least, he cannot openly support the reform without arousing suspicion.
group."
Seeing that Lu Jiu became more and more organized as he spoke, obviously having carefully studied the contents of the round table agreement, Lei Luo felt a move in his heart, nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly asked:
"So, what you are saying is that the goals of our trip are no longer all on the daimyo, but on those important officials and the daimyo's heirs?"
Lu Jiu quickly replied: "The first stage should be the task of the businessmen. If we can complete this part for them and save them a lot of costs, we will undoubtedly let them see our sincerity."
"In the final analysis, the daimyo is too conspicuous, and we have now been listed as key prevention targets by the daimyo, which is equivalent to moving from active to passive, from darkness to light..." He helplessly spread his hands, and Lu Jiu sighed.
He took a breath and said slowly:
"In this case, he will definitely make preparations in advance and lay out all kinds of hidden tricks in advance, so that no matter how watertight our actions are, sooner or later the day will come to light."
What Shikaku said made sense. Lei Luo weighed it again and again and found that the matter was exactly as Shikaku analyzed. In the current situation where the Daimyo and Konoha are at odds, if they don’t want Konoha to be boycotted by the entire Fire Nation,
Then you must be cautious, cautious, and cautious again.
only……
"Shikaku, keep your plan as a backup. I, Lei Luo, must go to the capital of the Country of Fire, and I must meet the daimyo. As for the specific choice of how to act..."
Waving his hands irritably, Lei Luo directly concluded: "We will see how the negotiations go and then make a decision."
Seeing that Lei Luo had made up his mind, Lu Jiu stopped trying to persuade him. The atmosphere in the venue was silent for a while, and only faint wails could be heard, which were the screams of the Shuras who were seriously injured.
He glanced coldly at the dozens of masked ninjas lying on the ground. Since Lei Luo was angry and these bounty ninjas were not good people in nature, he simply ordered to Fugaku and Bei Liuhu:
"Kill them all, don't leave any traces."
Fugaku and Beiliu didn't hesitate at all. After receiving the order, they took out their kunai and ran towards the Shura ninja who was still alive. They waved the butcher knife in their hands, but the rope tree moved hesitantly.
Lips, but seeing that Lei Luo's face was extremely ugly, he had no choice but to resist the thought of persuading him.
After a while, all the Shura ninjas died, and then a few earth escape ninjutsus were applied, and the place had become extremely flat, leaving only a few fallen trees around, silently telling something.
"Walk."
As soon as the words fell, Lei Luo and his group disappeared one after another and continued running towards the Country of Fire.
