Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

"So, Daimyo Shimizu hopes to have a secular war with Daimyo Sonoichi, a war between civilians that prohibits the use of ninja and does not contain a single chakra. The winner will be the victor and the loser will be the loser to decide the fate of the Fire Nation."

Yu Zhen suggested that everyone use their power, but then did not allow everyone to use their power. In theory, everyone should be very unhappy. Isn't this just playing tricks on people?

However, it didn't happen, and all the ninjas present became more and more excited.

Voting does count as exercising power, but the feedback it brings is not very noticeable.

Now, Yuzhen gave them a real entertainment, and it was so joyful to watch the entertainment.

This is direct sensory stimulation, sending the daimyo into the Colosseum. Is this kind of genius idea something that an ordinary ninja can come up with...a clever trick?

Genius, Yuzhen is a rare genius in the ninja world in thousands of years.

Don't think that ninjas are all cold-blooded killing machines, they also have a rebellious mentality... Ninjas fight to the death, while the daimyo sits back and reaps the benefits, who can feel balanced?

The ninja war is about to end. At this time, isn’t it reasonable to let the daimyo come out and see blood, and use this as an opportunity to announce the arrival of a new era?

How many ninjas have died over the years? Compared to that, the death of one or two daimyos is nothing.

Yuzhen's suggestion... no, it should be said that Shimizu Daimyo's suggestion deeply touched the ninjas' G-spot. Once they were touched, they could never calm down again.

"The Daimyo Shimizu... not only dared to go to the front lines, but even dared to participate in the war himself!"

“Such a famous name actually exists!”

"It's just right for me. Shimizu Daimyo is truly the daimyo among ninjas. Uh, no, the ninja among daimyos?"

"Shimizu Daimyo is ready to take over the world!"

"Lord Tobirama, what do you say? Do you accept the vote, or do you accept the self-determination of the daimyo?"

There was a commotion in the venue, but the ball was eventually kicked back to Tobirama's feet.

Tobirama glared at the guy who questioned him and found that this person was the patriarch of the Inuzuka clan. There was no doubt that he must be Yuzhen's agent!

But he is now in a difficult situation.

If we go back to the original method of voting to decide the daimyo, then there is no doubt that the voting ratio of Shimizu Daimyo to Sonichi Daimyo will definitely be 100:1, and this "1" is him, Senju Tobirama.

To be honest, Shimizu Daimyo was at the frontline and delivering supplies, but the effect of his efforts for a long time was not as good as Yu Zhen's few words... Of course, without those early preparations, Yu Zhen's words would not have had the current effect.

Faced with Yuzhen's attack, Senju Tobirama could no longer retreat, he had to make a choice.

However, the vote is bound to fail, so...

"The Daimyo Shimizu wishes to duel? The Daimyo Sonichi is also quite courageous. What rules do you intend to adopt?"

Tobirama asked Yuzhen, while trying to defend the reputation of the son of the name, but where is the courage of the son of the name? No one has ever seen it.

Regardless of whether the Daimyo of Yuan City had the courage or not, Yu Zhen smiled and said:

"First, the daimyo himself must participate in the war."

"Secondly, no ninjas are allowed to participate. Once the battle begins, there cannot be even a trace of chakra in either team."

"Third, the size of the battle team must not be less than 200 people and not more than 500 people."

"Fourth, renunciation is allowed. Those who renounce will give up the position of Daimyo of the Land of Fire."

"Fifth, the battle must be open, and both sides must accept supervision from all alliance ninjas. If any ninjas participate or use chakra, the victory will not be recognized. And cheaters will be attacked by both humans and gods!"

"Good! That's great, Master Yuzhen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some people started cheering, and this time Tobirama could no longer say that this person was Yu Zhen's shill, because the person who was emotionally moved was not a ninja of Yinghuo at all.

Tobirama actually didn't think there was anything wrong with this style of duel. He even approved of the "duel to become famous" method. But the problem was...

How can we convince the Daimyo of Yuan City to join the war? The Daimyo of Yuan City is a well-known coward.

"I... our Senju clan needs to communicate with the Daimyo of Sono City."

Tobirama had already shown weakness, and Yuzhen chuckled, and everyone present also laughed.

Yu Zhen stood up, waved his arm, and said:

"Everyone, adjourn the meeting!"

Senju Tobirama had never suffered such injustice, but there was nothing he could do about it, because his name was not as glorious as Hane's.

Moreover, he couldn't use any tricks, because Yuzhen had already made it clear that it was the daimyo's own business to solve. If he couldn't accept this and even tried to "arrange" Shimizu Daimyo, then he would be too shameless.

Doing this for the sake of Yuanshi's reputation? It's not worth it.

Because Tobirama didn't care that much about the Daimyo of Sonichi, he cared about the "morality" of the Senju clan, and he couldn't let the Senju clan be blamed for the Daimyo's affairs.

If Daimyo Sonichi was defeated in the battle with Daimyo Shimizu, it would not actually damage Senju's reputation... It was a fair fight, and he was not as skilled as his opponent, so what was there to say? It was not Senju's problem at all.

Of course, it would be best if Yuan Shi could win this battle.

…………

Besides Senju Tobirama, there was another person who had never suffered such injustice...

Well, he is Shimizu Daimyo.

Daimyo Shimizu, who was considered extremely brave by the ninjas, actually had no idea that Yuzhen had already made arrangements for him.

Yu Zhen knew that the Senju clan could not refuse such conditions, so after the meeting, he left the new ninja village and returned to Lingdang Castle.

When Yu Zhen saw Shimizu Kisuke again, the daimyo was lying down. He thought that as long as he continued to lie down, he would be able to obtain the position of daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"Hama, aren't you building a new ninja village? How do you have time to come back here?"

Daimyo Shimizu was a little curious about Yu Zhen's return, and his eyes were a little too clear.

"Daimyo-sama, I have good news. The Uchiha have surrendered."

"Ah? Really? Does this mean the war is almost over?"

"Yes, it is precisely because the war is almost over that I have returned here... I have an important question I would like to confirm with the Daimyo-sama."

At this time, Daimyo Shimizu instinctively felt that something was wrong.

I only heard Yuzhen continue:

"That is, do you...want to have some involvement?"

"W-What sense of participation?"

Qingshui Jiyou, who was originally half-lying in an armchair, sat up straight all of a sudden... This guy has never sat so straight in his life.

"What other sense of participation can there be? Daimyo-sama, please don't ask me when you already know the answer. Of course, it's a sense of participation in the war."

"Get involved in some wars so you can brag about it when you're enjoying your grandchildren's company. Otherwise, when your grandchildren ask you how you became the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, you can't just say you got there by doing nothing, right?"

"Lie down all the way. Is there a problem?"

Qingshui Jiyou frowned. Doesn’t this just show that he has an extremely high ability to plan his life path?

Yuzhen sighed:

"No problem, but it's also embarrassing."

Chapter 177: Settling the World's Affairs (Part 2)

What does it mean to lose face? Shimizu Daimyo didn't care about this at all, because he was always very clear-headed... After becoming the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, how could he lose face?

Once it’s done, it’s done, regardless of the process and methods involved.

However, at this time, Daimyo Shimizu did not dwell on this point, because he had already realized why Yu Zhen said that.

"Has there been a change of plan?"

"That's not the case. It's just that the plan I told you earlier was not complete. In fact, it was missing the last step."

Yu Zhen was quite honest. At this point, he was not afraid that Shimizu Daimyo would go back on his word, otherwise the sunk cost would be too high. He also did not lie to the other party that the plan changed because the situation had changed... Daimyo was a very rational person and he could figure these things out on his own.

Qingshui Jiyou shook his head, a wry smile appeared on his face:

"I knew it couldn't be this simple... What part of the plan is missing?"

"It's a necessary part, but don't worry, it won't affect the overall situation... well, it's also the part where you need to 'fight for your life'."

Shimizu Kisuke:

"..."

"What do you mean? I need to fight hard, but I don't have to worry?"

Where is the logic in this sentence?

"Let me put it this way. In one sentence, you'll understand why you need to fight. It's difficult to convince the Senju clan, but it's easy to 'convince' the Sonoichi clan."

"Well, you mean, I need to rely on myself at critical moments?"

"Correct."

Next, Uzumaki explained his "Daimyo Operation Plan."

As expected, Qingshui Jiyou did not get furious. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Generally speaking, the daimyo lacks both courage and command ability. If there are no ninjas involved in the battle, then generally whichever side has the most men will win."

"But you've limited the scale of the battlefield. The combined forces of both sides will only reach a thousand people..."

"So, do you have any weapons that can guarantee victory? After all, the rules of the battle require that even detonating tags cannot be used."

I can only say that Shimizu Jiyou's brain is still very useful.

Yuzhen laughed:

"Of course there are."

As he spoke, he took out a storage scroll.

In this world, the combination of two ordinary inventions can sometimes produce a surprising effect where the sum of the two is greater than the sum of the two.

For example, airplanes and ships.

Another example is Apple and pen.

So some desert villagers who were poor in material terms but creative in thought suddenly discovered a magical natural phenomenon one day.

The outer diameter of a gas tank of a certain specification can just fit into the inner diameter of a certain cast iron sewer pipe, and the two fit together perfectly.

So some kind of magical weapon was developed...the gas tank mortar.

Don’t worry about the accuracy and range, just look at the amount of gunpowder in the gas tank. Isn’t it powerful?

If we ignore the quality of the propellant and bullet charge, this thing has lower technical content than a matchlock gun.

Daimyo Shimizu looked at this thing and his mind was completely confused.

It's an iron pipe, quite thick.

An iron can with a thin iron pipe attached to the back and four simple tail fins at the end of the iron pipe.

To be honest, as a typical native, Daimyo Shimizu really didn't have much knowledge, but he instinctively knew that this thing was not a groundbreaking weapon... it was too damn simple.

The thin iron tube is filled with propellant, which is actually just black powder, which means this thing is equivalent to a rocket launcher.

The medicine in the jar is of a different formula, but at least it contains sugar.

The explosive fuse on top of the can is actually just a sparking device, equivalent to a match...

The four tail fins have no fluid dynamics design and can only ensure that the warhead flies forward.

To be honest, the technical content of this thing is far inferior to that of our fellow countrymen. Their explosives are at least fertilizers, and there are at least detonators in the warheads.

But for ordinary people, this thing is powerful enough... Is there any difference between being blown away fifty meters and twenty meters, being blown into a meat paste and being blown into three or five pieces?

The look in Shimizu Kisuke's eyes when he looked at Yu Zhen was as if to say, "Are you making fun of me?"

"Fire a few shots, fire a few shots and you'll understand."

Yuzhen didn't explain. He directly pulled the daimyo out of the castle tower and found a secluded spot. After playing for an hour...

Let me put it this way, when Qingshui Jiyou came back, his face was flushed with rosy red.

To be honest, as long as the conditions are right, many people like to tinker with explosives. Even if it's just setting off firecrackers, it's very fun.

Indeed, there was a change of plan. Daimyo Shimizu was already full of confidence and was preparing to seize power by force.

"The problem now is to ensure that no ninja from the Sonoichi clan is involved..."

The daimyo's demands have changed direction.
