In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

"Danzo, the village now has a difficult task for you!"

……

As the saying goes, what's done is done, let's eat first.

It was as if countless sparrows had crowded into the conference room, chirping incessantly.

"You people from Konoha are so rude!"

"The local kids are so ill-mannered!"

Officials from the Land of Fire joined forces with the Hidden Stone Village ninja to denounce Konoha for being inhuman.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shrank back, not daring to speak rashly.

He could be sarcastic and sarcastic when the people from Iwagakure were robbed, but if the officials who came were from the other four countries, he could also smile and use gentle fist techniques.

But they happen to be from the Land of Fire, one of our own.

Interrupt spellcasting directly.

No one else expected that their child had quietly done such a big thing.

The compensation and ransom from Iwagakure and the accountability from the Daimyo cannot be entirely accepted by the Konoha F4; the heads of all departments and ninja clans of Konoha must be present.

After all, the compensation offered by the people from Iwagakure is related to the potential increase in budgets for various departments, while the arrival of people from the capital means that Konoha's funding may be cut.

They are all closely related to them.

However, no one expected that their own child would cause such a big incident in such a short time.

Challenging a Jonin from another country as a Ninja Academy student—while it's true that young calves aren't afraid of tigers, this is just too reckless!

Even in Konoha Village, ninjas are blinded by rage and don't care about such things. What if the other side is determined to reduce Konoha's future?

There's no shortage of brainless ninjas!

Among these ninja clan leaders, there was one who didn't fit in.

The current head of the Uchiha clan.

"You've gained some new insights? Not bad."

Upon hearing the news that his genius had gained insight, he nodded slightly, a confident and smug smile spreading across his face.

Although it's unknown why they awakened their Sharingan, Uchiha clans typically go through a painful experience to awaken it. Awakening it in the village clearly means they didn't suffer much.

The old man was pleased.

Amidst the cacophony, Fujiwara Osamu remained unmoved, as if his surroundings were irrelevant to him.

Yes, although he was also ripped off and lost a lot of money, and even got beaten up, as the saying goes, "no destruction, no construction," and he saw things very clearly.

If you jump too high, you're very likely to get beaten up again.

He glanced sideways at the official who was speaking passionately and arguing his point, and shook his head helplessly.

"Sigh, how undignified! They don't even understand the principle of yielding."

He didn't organize anyone to cause trouble; it was simply that the other nobles who had been robbed were venting their anger at today's meeting.

Although he was the highest-ranking person on this trip, could he stop someone from jumping out and getting beaten?

Especially this attack.

He was very open-minded; Konoha would never take any action against those people, no matter what.

The worst people they encountered in Iwagakure were either second-generation ninja clan leaders or commoner geniuses—all future leaders of Konoha.

The situation is different for the nobles; they are mostly current pillars of Konoha or super geniuses who are beginning to show the potential to become pillars.

How can we teach the other party a lesson?

Can you win by talking?

Bang bang bang!

A nobleman slammed his hand on the solid wood table and said with dissatisfaction, "Lord Hokage, Konoha's attitude today makes it very difficult for us to persuade the Daimyo not to cut Konoha's funding."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned serious.

Playing around is fine, but don't joke about the budget.

At this moment, everyone in the room activated their brainpower, searching for words that could be used to retaliate.

Just then, Nara Shikaku coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention.

Under the gaze of the entire audience, Nara Shika, the current president, wore a mysterious smile and spoke softly, his voice just loud enough to cover the entire room.

"We have heard your requests, but..." He looked at the officials from the Land of Fire, waved his hands, and looked quite helpless.

"If Your Excellency cuts Konoha's budget, it will inevitably affect Konoha's business ecosystem. At that time, it will be difficult for us to guarantee that certain troublemakers will stay in Konoha and play around in peace."

Daigo empowerment!

Everyone was stunned at first, then realized what was happening and gasped.

As expected of the Hokage's assistant, a member of the Nara clan with unparalleled intelligence!

That's a perfectly valid point!

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked around in surprise, then glanced at his three companions and noticed that they had similar expressions.

Mitomon Homura, who served as Konoha's external window and coordinator of finances, stood up and agreed, "That's true."

To be honest, many people in Konoha have been paying attention to Isogen's every move for a long time.

Danzo was the first choice, but at that time, Igarashi's talent was more in minor areas and not outstanding in other aspects. To enter Root, one must be an elite among Chunin. Moreover, Igarashi had a good relationship with Kushina, and messing with him might cause Kushina to go home and complain. So, he was passed over.

Secondly, there are the second-generation ninja clan members who were overshadowed by the will of the Fifty Strings. Their parents thought it was perfectly fine for children to play around. They played even more excessively when they were in school, but they didn't reach the level of the later Fifty Strings.

Later, it wasn't that they condoned Wu Shixian's actions, but rather that Wu Shixian's backer was stronger than any of them, so they could only keep their heads down and hope that their own child would prove them right.

Then a year passed, and Isogen went on a mission. Before he left, he was fine, and everyone still treated him like a young kid. But when he came back, everything was different; he had captured a Jinchuriki alive.

With fifty strings, he transformed himself into a powerful ally.

What are they supposed to do?

Should I come forward and tell you that what you did was wrong?

Damn it, even the Hokage himself couldn't do anything, and you're still counting on us?

And you don't even look at how powerful they are. The Jonin of the Uchiha clan is amazing, right? He's a universally acknowledged powerhouse in the ninja world, isn't he?

This tough guy got slapped a few times and ended up with a pair of three-tomoe jade hairpins.

Incredibly powerful.

They were also afraid that if they went to preach to someone, they would be tortured instead.

It wasn't that they didn't want to restrain Fifty Strings' behavior; it was just that Fifty Strings was beating around much faster than any of them had anticipated.

They were very helpless.

The nobleman who had spoken earlier stared at Mitokado Homura with an incredulous look.

"You're telling me you can't control a single subordinate?!"

"Ahem, I need to correct you. From any perspective, Isogen-kun is still a student who hasn't graduated from the Ninja Academy yet," Mitokado Homura reminded him, giving Sarutobi Hiruzen a look.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded repeatedly and chuckled, "Yes, Konoha was founded to protect its young. We really can't control where the children want to play."

The nobleman looked at these people, some helpless and others resigned, his face changing from red to green and then to purple, like a fine palette.

Just then, Danzo, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"Konoha never forces ninjas to make unreasonable choices."

Upon hearing this, all the ninjas in the conference room turned their gazes to Danzo, their expressions identically astonished.

Is this something Danzo would say?

Moreover, they won't force ninjas to make choices. Which ninja village would say or do that?

There's a limit to jokes, isn't there?

Danzo, who was under everyone's gaze, remained unmoved and casually said, "If you have any complaints, you can try talking to Lady Mito."

Secret Technique: The Art of Telling Parents!

Among the long-established aristocracy, Mito Uzumaki's name shines far brighter than most.

The older and more established the noble family, the better they can understand the true value of Mito Uzumaki.

As expected, several nobles' expressions changed drastically upon hearing the name Mito Uzumaki.

Danzo found it very satisfying to watch.

He had never been fond of these nobles, a trait he had inherited from his teacher.

The true essence lies in using one's power to bully others.

The idea of ​​bullying Konoha was ingrained in his bones since the beginning of time. He was involved in it when he was in school, but back then they hadn't hatched Pokémon like Fifty Strings.

The frustration I've been feeling lately has been effectively relieved.

Fujiwara Osamu looked at the speechless expressions of the people he had brought, and a rather helpless expression appeared on his face behind the folding fan.

That's why I hate talking to idiots.

Unfortunately, we brought these people with us, so we have to tolerate them on the surface, no matter how stupid they are.

I don't know when it started, but every time we go out, it's always a smart person leading a few idiots—a suffocating tradition.

"Ahem, excuse my interruption, but our trivial matters are insignificant. In fact, I came to Konoha this time with a mission entrusted to me by the Daimyo." He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

……

After a heated argument, the meeting ended. Fujiwara Osamu, who felt that he was more afraid of being stupid than bad, rubbed his temples and sighed.

He knew from the beginning that arguing would not yield any results.

It's impossible for a daimyo to really fall out with Konoha over a few disgraceful nobles.

The idea of ​​taking the Chunin Exams was also rejected.

As everyone knows, the daimyo of the five great nations are related. While the Ninja World War raged, they, as rulers, were enjoying tea and gatherings.

But even the best relationship can't stop the urge to show off.

Yes, the real purpose of holding a joint Chunin Exam involving multiple ninja villages is for the Fire Country Daimyo to show off to the other Daimyo.

However, this is only one part of the whole process.

"What do you think of the terms, Igogaku-kun?" Fujiwara Osamu asked with a smile as he looked at Igogaku, who had been invited to the meeting.

"There are many benefits to becoming a Guardian Ninja, especially for a young prodigy like Isogen-kun. Guardian Ninjas are directly under the command of the Daimyo and hold a very high status."

Task: Undermine the foundation.

Even a high-ranking official needs manpower.

Isogen blinked.

First of all, the system of protecting ninjas has existed for a long time, but the number of people involved has never been constant.

Second.

"Why isn't the daimyo directly under my command?"

"Pfft!" Fujiwara Osamu's previous composure seemed to have vanished, his hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, and he stared in disbelief.

In the capital of the Land of Fire, the daimyo, who was enjoying the song and dance, suddenly trembled, as if he had been targeted by something.
