Chapter 487 A word is settled
The daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools is over eighty years old.

He ascended to the throne during the Warring States period, and in the turbulent end of the Warring States period, he was closely tied to the Uzumaki clan. He also made many contributions to the fact that the Uzumaki clan did not merge into Konoha Village.

During the period of "one country, one village," he fully supported the Whirlpool Clan in establishing their own village, so that his Whirlpool Kingdom would no longer have to depend on others.

The special kinship between the Senju and Uzumaki clans has made life quite good for the Land of Whirlpools.

Unfortunately, the First and Second Hokage died one after another, greatly reducing the value of Uzushiogakure.

Subsequently, Uzumaki Village was completely destroyed, and the Uzumaki clan was wiped out.

When the daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools was eighty years old, he had no choice but to go to the capital of the Land of Fire and submit to the daimyo of the Land of Fire, becoming a vassal state of the Land of Fire.

He originally thought that by adopting a humble enough posture, he could continue to allow the Daimyo family to rule the Land of Whirlpools.

However, something terrible happened last night that made Daimyo feel that something extremely bad had occurred.

The samurai he sent to rescue his nephew were all killed.

Those three nephews all have some problems, more or less.

One who likes to levy heavy taxes within their territory.

A man who loved to eat raw deep-sea fish conscripted fishermen to fish in the open ocean every month, resulting in the deaths of many fishermen.

The last one he liked was women. Any woman in his territory who was somewhat attractive, regardless of age, was captured and brought to his mansion.

However, those three were all his nephews. Because of the war between Konoha and Kirigakure, they were hiding in Kyoto. He couldn't let anything happen to his three nephews.

He even dispatched six guardian ninjas.

However, Shinobu didn't come back last night either.

The daimyo sat in the main hall, awaiting the results of his subordinates' investigation.

The subordinates rushed into the main hall; people from Konoha had arrived and entered the castle tower.

The gates of the castle tower were wide open, and rows of servants knelt on both sides of the road. The daimyo used this method to demonstrate his respect for the Konoha ninja.

Aside from missions and guardian ninja duties, Konoha ninjas rarely leave the village.

The nobles supported the ninjas with missions, and the ninjas helped the nobles kill civilians who dared to rebel. The two sides had always cooperated very well.

Yokoshima followed behind Hidan, looking at the servants kneeling on both sides of the road, and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

The village once said that if one could become a servant of a nobleman, one could have enough to eat.

I once dreamed of being chosen by a nobleman.

These servants dared not raise their heads; their lives were not as good as Yokoshima had imagined.

The daimyo stood at the bottom of the steps of the main hall and saw that the people from Konoha were wearing masks.

That fox mask was very famous; the person who came was the head of Konoha's Anbu, the Fox.

As for the daimyo's guardian ninjas, they all followed behind the fox, showing no intention of protecting him.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group entered the main hall.

The daimyo looked at the fox, the Guardian Ninja Captain Yamanaka Kori, and the young man carrying three scythes, wondering what Konoha was up to.

Nightlight pushed a scroll toward the daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools. The daimyo's servant hurriedly came over, took the scroll, bowed, and handed it to the daimyo.

The daimyo opened the scroll, glanced at it, and couldn't help but read it aloud: "Release the protection agreement? Free passage agreement?"

“Yes,” said Ye Guang.

"I am the head of the Konoha Anbu and also the leader of the Tri-God Cult."

The Tritheism is building temples or shrines in major towns.

Wherever there is a temple or shrine, ninjas can use the flying shrine scrolls of the Three Gods Cult to achieve instantaneous teleportation.

From this moment forward, the former protective relationship between Konoha Village and the nobles will come to an end.

Konoha ninjas will no longer be confined to Konoha Village; they will be free to roam any town in the ninja world.

In the past, when something happened in Kyoto, the Land of Whirlpools, they either had to rely on the Guardian Ninja or Konoha had to send ninjas, which would take nine days to travel to Kyoto.

If anything happens in Kyoto, the Land of Whirlpools, Konoha ninjas can arrive instantly.

Therefore, the system of protecting ninjas against daimyo is no longer necessary.

"How is this possible!" Daimyo exclaimed in alarm, immediately followed by a sharp retort.
"Konoha Village no longer protects the nobles?"

The Land of Whirlpools is fully supporting your village of Konoha's war effort. In order to defeat the Hidden Mist Village, the Land of Whirlpools has also suffered huge losses.

Why should we stop protecting nobles just because you say so? Does the Hokage of Konoha even know about this?

Does the Daimyo of the Land of Fire know about this?

Ye Guang said, "Of course the Hokage knows, but he clearly supports me. The scroll is signed by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi."

Yamazuki felt a sudden pang of panic.

In the past, Nara Shikazuki would be the first to know about any major decisions made by Konoha Village.

With such a major reform in Konoha Village, Lord Nara Shikazuki knew nothing about it because he was about to become the commander-in-chief at the front.

Currently, the only high-ranking officials in the village are the Hokage and the Fox Lord, and these two have made such a momentous decision.

Yamanaka Kori glanced at Hidan.

The fox master secretly established the Three Gods Cult outside the village. The Three Gods Cult can even allow ninjas to travel instantly, making it mysterious and powerful.

No wonder the Hokage made such a big change. If the Three Gods Cult could really make ninjas appear instantly in any town, Konoha's influence would rise to a whole new level.

The daimyo, panting heavily, said, "Fox Minister, aren't you afraid I'll switch to hiring Kirigakure as my guardian ninja?"

Ye Guang stood up and said, "It's a deal! I'll wait for your good news."

"you!"

Da Ming was speechless and could only watch helplessly as the fox led his men away from the main hall.

After everyone from Konoha left, the main hall was eerily quiet.

The Left Minister crawled slowly on his knees to stand behind the Daimyo, and said:

"Your Highness, the reason we are able to rule the Land of Whirlpools and do whatever we want within it is because even if there are civilian rebellions, they are no match for ninjas and ninjutsu."

"If...if the Konoha ninja no longer protect us nobles, doesn't that mean that if a commoner rebels and Konoha remains neutral, we could all be overthrown by the commoners?"

Da Ming remained silent.

The fox's creation of the Three Gods Cult and shrine completely altered the power structure of the Land of Whirlpools.

The daimyo sighed and said, "Let's contact the daimyo of the Land of Fire first and see his attitude."

If the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has any ideas, we should cooperate with him.

If even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire can't do anything about Konoha's reforms, what can we do?

Are we really going to hire Kirigakure ninja...?

Inside the Kyoto shrine, Yako, along with Yamanaka Kori and twelve other former guardian ninja, stood before the shrine in the shrine courtyard.

Ye Guang said, "I have placed a believer in this temple."

This believer manages the Flying Shrine Scrolls, and anyone can use the Flying Shrine Technique to travel to other shrine locations as long as they have permission from Konoha or pay a usage fee.

"Jonin Konoha, try using the Flying Shrine Technique to return to Konoha first."

Yamanaka Kori found it very strange. He asked first, "Lord Fox, what about you? Aren't you going back to Konoha?"

Ye Guang said, "I oversimplified the reform process, and it encountered a lot of resistance."

I need to ask Nara Kazuya, the class monitor, for help in dealing with the resistance and troubles we are facing in our reforms.

therefore···"

Looking towards the ocean, Ye Guang said, "The war in the Land of Whirlpools should be over. We don't have time to waste with the Mist Ninja."

Yamanaka Kori asked, "Lord Fox, are you going to the front lines?"

"Yes, it's time to let the Mist Ninja experience what despair is."

Yamanaka Kori watched as Minister Fox left with several members of the Dark Guard, then looked at the followers of the Trishin Church with a puzzled expression.

The believer took out a scroll and said, "Please have a few Konoha ninjas stand within five meters of the shrine, and I will help you travel there instantly."

A spell mark lit up on the shrine, and the ground around the shrine was covered with spell patterns.

A moment later, the sight of Yamazaka Kaguri changed, and he saw the Fire Shadow Rock!
He returned to Konoha Village and looked around; he was inside a temple.

This temple was formerly the Namahō of the Whirlpool Clan, but now it has become the temple of the Trigonos Cult.

Yamanaka Kori said, "Lord Shikanoku really shouldn't be commanding the war anymore; the Flying Shrine is more important to Konoha."
