Commander Uchiha, we respect and love you!

Chapter 206 The Daimyo's Hasty Death

But dealing with these nobles is simple. There's no need to make any sacrifices or fight for any task quotas. Wouldn't it be better to just turn the tables and become the master yourself?

Now everyone is like Madara Uchiha. After all, Madara Uchiha's initial ideal was to establish a country based on ninjas, but he was stopped by Hashirama Senju. He couldn't win in a fight, and he couldn't persuade him. Why stay there if he didn't run away?

Even now, Madara Uchiha is still alive.

Soon, the Kage from the other four villages raised their hands. Seeing that everyone was doing the same, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to raise his hand in agreement as well.

'First Daimyo, I'm sorry, I've disobeyed your wishes. It's time for you to die!'

Looking at everyone present, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that if the First Hokage were still alive, he would absolutely not want ninjas to do such things, as it would provoke new conflicts. It would be better to continue maintaining the current ninja village system. When wars escalate, the children can go to the battlefield and risk their lives for social practice. What a wonderful system that was! And now, such a system is about to disappear.

Soon after, after discussing some rules and regulations, the Ninja League was successfully formed.

The first thing they did was to sacrifice a great name to the heavens.

Fire Nation.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, whoa, what are you doing?!"

Inside the Daimyo's residence, the daimyo, who was still a middle-aged man at the moment, lay on the ground, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others standing in front of him with a look of horror.

The guards nearby were all dead.

"Excuse me, sir, your presence is hindering our efforts to save the world!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the daimyo and shook his head helplessly. If he could, he wouldn't want to kill the daimyo either, but there was nothing he could do. Times were changing, and all the villages had entered the era of ninja, freeing them from the fate of having to complete missions and earn commissions.

Their village has to follow suit. If Konoha doesn't change, it'll probably become the largest ninja village in the world, and then...

And then that's it. Former rivals will become their bosses. Ninjas who were once just tools like the ninjas of Konoha will suddenly become the new rulers, issuing all sorts of missions to Konoha. Former opponents have become bosses, and you might even have to act as a dog for your former rivals and enemies for a little money.

No one can accept this, especially since you once had the opportunity to be a human being but gave it up.

Just imagining it makes me feel suffocated and don't want to live anymore.

What a helpless situation that would be!
There's already a thick wall between us.

All daimyo must die; Konoha must never continue to be tools for these weaklings.

"W-why...what happened? Hiruzen Sarutobi, I've treated Konoha well. I've always approved your requests for funding directly. Talk to me properly. Tell me what you need. Whatever it is, I agree, I agree! Don't attack! Calm down!!!"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire sat on the ground, shouting loudly. To this day, he still didn't understand why these damned ninjas had attacked him, the daimyo, so directly.

He thought to himself that he hadn't done anything to wrong Konoha.

Why are they suddenly going to kill him?
Is this...is this reasonable? This is completely unreasonable!
"Hey!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and put down his sword. He was hesitant to attack. However, just as he was about to say something, the daimyo of the Land of Fire suddenly froze and then went limp.

"Danzo, what are you doing?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed and shouted sharply.

"Hiruzen, you're too soft-hearted! For the sake of the village, for the sake of this world, the daimyo must die. Do you really want to let this guy go?"

With a cold expression, Shimura Danzo pulled the sword from the body of the Fire Country Daimyo, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and turned to leave.

"You... hey!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo Shimura as if he was furious, but in the end he sighed helplessly. Good thing, he doesn't have to dirty his hands and bear the guilt of killing a daimyo with his own hands.

Even if something really happens in the future, he can say that he originally wanted to let the daimyo go, and directly push Danzo out to take the blame.

The reason he paused just now was to wait for Danzo to make a move, as he knew Danzo's character.

Shortly afterward, the Land of Fire officially released a notice.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire accidentally tumbled down the stairs and died.

Because the daimyo of the Land of Fire died without leaving any offspring or any collateral relatives, the Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had to serve as the acting daimyo.

On the same day that the official announcement from the Land of Fire was released.

The other four countries also issued similar announcements.

Some choked to death while eating, some accidentally drowned while passing by a pond, some fell into a latrine and drowned, and some suffocated while snoring in their sleep. There's no proper explanation. As for whether outsiders believe it or not, when the five great ninja villages united to seize power, belief became meaningless.

The nobles of the various countries had no way to resist the rule of these ninjas, nor could they find anyone to help them avenge their daimyo. Who could they turn to? In the past, if it were just a ninja who wanted to rule a country, there would be no problem. He could simply entrust other ninja villages to take action. Even Konoha had no way to resist the combined forces of the other four great ninja villages.

But now this is a joint effort by the five great ninja villages.

In the ninja world, the five great ninja villages are the most powerful forces, and when they unite, they can easily suppress all countries.

Mt. Miaomu.

"The Ninja Country? That's fine too!"

Jiraiya, the Great Toad Sage, nodded in agreement with the report. He wasn't particularly concerned about the ninjas forming a nation, because Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group weren't like the Uchiha clan and wouldn't possess such a strong and terrifying aggressiveness.

Moreover, Mount Myōboku and Konoha are connected. Jiraiya was not only Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple but also a member of Mount Myōboku. It can be said that under Hiruzen Sarutobi's leadership, Konoha's usurpation of the position of Daimyo of the Land of Fire was entirely a good thing for the Great Toad Sage.

Only by completely uniting the power of the entire ninja world can we possibly fight against the power of the Land of Fire.

"Little Jiraiya, go tell your teachers to vigorously develop resurrection technology..."
