In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 67 The daimyo has too many dogs under his command; we can only keep dogs.

"When will I be able to meet Shuiying?"

With a hint of anxiety, Uchiha Shisui asked Ao, which surprised the latter who had observed the scene. He immediately remembered this unusual occurrence and prepared to report it to Mei Terumi later.

At the same time, he secretly analyzed Shisui's thoughts.

While thinking, he spoke softly.

"Lord Mizukage is very busy."

Uchiha Shisui suppressed his inner turmoil and retorted.

"He's the one who wanted to see me."

"That's Lord Mizukage. Whether I see him or not, I don't need to inform you, right?"

Uchiha Shisui was speechless. He sat down again, trying his best to suppress the agitation in his heart, while his mind raced with thoughts.

Given the circumstances of the village and his family, the scene that this news brought back already sent chills down his spine.

It is highly likely that some arrogant clansmen will be overjoyed by this, frantically searching within the clan for the powerful individual who can control the shadow, and then making statements about becoming the shadow through that clansman.

The village, due to the extreme suggestions of some elders, also began to experience sharp friction with the Uchiha clan.

The village and the family will inevitably clash in even stronger ways.

Moreover, that's not all.

Judging from the frenzied fighting atmosphere in Kirigakure today, it wouldn't be surprising if they launched another attack.

If such a hidden mist were to rejoin the battlefield, it would inevitably lead to the village's final, unavoidable defeat.

Really, really.

Uchiha Shisui clenched his fist tightly.
-
Inside the Mizukage's office, Kaguya Naoki did not deliberately leave Uchiha Shisui out of the open.

Uchiha Shisui was a key part of his plan to manipulate the Uchiha clan into betraying him, so how could he deliberately ignore him?

But right now, he does have more important things to deal with.

The great name is almost here.

Yes.

Just hours after Kaguya Naoki launched her coup, he was shocked to receive a message that the daimyo was almost there.

Frankly speaking, given the earth-shattering changes in the situation within Kirigakure, it wouldn't be a big deal if the daimyo had to act even faster.

But the implications of something happening so quickly are quite subtle.

Faced with all this, Naoki Kaguya quickly uncovered the truth behind it all.

"So, Mei, does the Daimyo really have control over some of the village's ninjas?"

Mei Terumi nodded with a slightly solemn expression. Seeing this, Naoki Kaguya made no attempt to conceal his killing intent and said coldly.

Why do they always try to take what doesn't belong to them?

Naoki.

Mei Terumi called out softly.

“The daimyo controls the country’s economic lifeline and represents the nobility and court officials; they cannot be dealt with by violence.”

"Furthermore, in the past few years, Kirigakure was in complete chaos, and the Kage did nothing, which naturally gave the Daimyo an opportunity to seize power that belonged to him."

"Bring up the list, Ming."

Naoki Kaguya said something indifferently, and Mei Terumi immediately pulled out a yellowed piece of paper from her side and handed it to Naoki Kaguya, clearly having been prepared in advance.

Looking closely from top to bottom, he casually glanced over the names of some Chunin and Genin, until he saw a Jonin also listed, which finally made Kaguya Naoki have a slight thought of completely destroying the Daimyo who had not yet arrived through power.

He reached out and handed the list to Zabuza, saying coldly.

"Zabuza, go and inform these ninjas."

"If they send over money they shouldn't have taken, refuse all orders they shouldn't have listened to, and kill all the people they shouldn't have obeyed, I will forgive them."

"If you can't do it, then you might as well die."

Zabuza Momochi revealed his bloodthirsty face.

"Lord Naoki, I'll teach these guys a lesson."

As he turned to leave, Naoki Kaguya added another sentence.

"Call Kisame. If those people escape, it won't be a good outcome." Zabuza Momochi's face darkened.

They really don't take my strength seriously at all, damned Mizukage!
Clenching his fists, he dared not argue and could only silently walk out the door.

"deep."

Seeing Zabuza Momochi's figure, Naoki Kaguya no longer had any intention of hiding anything.

"I really want to wipe out all these nobles and high-ranking officials in one go, so that we can quickly raise the funds for our development in Wuyin."

"You can't do that, Naoki."

Mei Terumi shook her head, showing little concern, clearly knowing that Naoki Kaguya wouldn't act recklessly.

"The daimyo have the right to launch a war of daimyo. While we can easily eliminate the daimyo of the Land of Water, we are afraid that we might not be able to win a war launched by the daimyo of the other four countries."

"That's why I only chopped off all the hands that shouldn't have reached out, and didn't continue."

"After all, the fact that the villages in those countries willingly serve as lackeys of those great lords cannot be changed."

"Therefore, I will not break off relations until I have completely subdued the power of the daimyo and his henchmen."

Naoki Kaguya immediately said, and then quietly added a sentence.

"But if we want to develop the village and find a new path, we will inevitably need more money."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi couldn't help but sigh.

"We're back to square one. If we need money, we're destined to have to go through Daimyo."

"Who said that?"

Naoki Kaguya stood up.

"When the entire nation's military power is concentrated, wouldn't it be an easy thing to support an economic system that doesn't belong to a daimyo?"

Mei Terumi suddenly stopped and looked at Naoki Kaguya with some surprise.

"Naoki, do you have a solution?"

“I have it, and a lot of it.”

Naoki Kaguya sighed slightly.

"However, many problems cannot be solved without initial capital accumulation."

"However, there is a reform that is suitable for us at present."

"To cooperate with all the merchants and some nobles in the country."

"For all those willing to cooperate with us, our Misty Hidden Lands will coordinate trade routes, dispatch troops to maintain them, and eliminate any destabilizing factors along these routes."

"Family soldiers, lawless ninjas, and outlaws are all to be eliminated."

"They gain a more stable business environment, and we obtain funding from it."

"Of course, whether or not it is implemented depends on calculations, and that's something we can only leave to you guys."

"If this plan fails, there are many others."

Mei Terumi's eyes suddenly lit up, then she clenched her fist tightly and added a sentence with a hint of murderous intent.

"Those who are unwilling to cooperate with us will be entangled in instability through certain means."

Naoki Kaguya nodded silently, then shook his head.

"It's best if we don't get involved in these matters."

"After all, our country has no shortage of thieves and bandits. Since they can't defeat Kirigakure, they'll go where they're supposed to go."

Naoki Kaguya said this calmly.

"With money, you can do more things later."

Just then, the voices of ANBU ninjas came from outside the door.

"Fourth Hokage, the Daimyo has arrived."

Naoki Kaguya nodded.

"Please invite the Third Generation."
