Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

The daimyo simply smiled and chose not to speak.

Who would believe such a thing if it were said out loud?

"Hokage, although you speak with such conviction," the Daimyo shook his head with a smile, "I still think adding another 300 million ryo is too much..."

He is rich, but not stupid.

It's impossible to believe Danzo's one-sided story; even if what Danzo said is true, it's useless.

He simply didn't want to give that much money.

"Lord Daimyo, how much more funding can you add?" Danzo asked.

Da Ming slowly extended a finger.

"One hundred million taels?"

"Heh heh, ten million taels!"

Danzo's forehead veins bulged instantly when he saw the Daimyo's cheerful expression.

He's been talking for ages, his mouth is dry from talking.

As a result, they were only willing to increase it by ten million taels!

Danzo laughed, he was so angry that he laughed on the spot.

At this point, the daimyo was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

"Ten million is the most I can offer! I'm only doing this because the Hokage came all this way..."

"Daimyo, you'll regret this!"

Danzo ignored his words and stood up angrily.

"Danzo, what are you doing?!"

Hiruzen was startled by his friend's actions.

He actually dared to speak harshly to the daimyo in the main hall!

If this offends the daimyo, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Hokage, what do you mean?" The Daimyo narrowed his eyes. "Are you expressing your dissatisfaction with me?"

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen's face instantly turned deathly pale.

It's over, it's over!

Danzo really angered the daimyo; he was too impulsive!

No, I have to step in and help them out.

To prevent the situation from escalating.

Just as Hiruzen was about to get up and explain, a strong hand pressed him down.

He turned his head in surprise.

Lian Ye said expressionlessly.

"let me."

……

……

P.S.: Everyone's back in school now, no one's reading my books anymore, sob sob...

Chapter 373 Are you threatening me?

"Lian Ye, don't be impulsive!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled when Renya suddenly stood up.

He couldn't help but recall that scene from several years ago at the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Lightning.

He instantly felt extremely uncomfortable, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Hiruzen, I'm frighteningly calm right now!"

Lian Ye turned her head, her black eyes gradually turning scarlet.

"lotus……"

Just as Hiruzen was about to say something more, he saw Renya walk straight up to the daimyo.

He felt like the sky had fallen.

What a joke!

Lian Ye completely ignored what he had said earlier.

"Danzo..."

Hiruzen looked to Danzo for help, only to find that the anger on Danzo's face had been replaced by schadenfreude.

"you!"

Hiruzen pointed angrily at Danzo, too mad to speak.

Danzo dares to tolerate Renya; Konoha will be doomed sooner or later!

"Hiruzen, you can just sit and watch." Danzo leisurely sat back down in his chair.

Now that Lian Ye has chosen to take action, what happens next is no longer his concern.

Indeed, bringing Lian Ye out was the wisest decision!

"Excuse me, Konoha ninja, is there anything I can help you with?"

The daimyo frowned as he looked at the ninja who had suddenly appeared in front of him, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

The ninjas of Konoha are increasingly disregarding his status as a daimyo.

He felt that the dignity of his name had been seriously challenged!

It seems I need to find some time to properly suppress Konoha Village.

To prevent such disrespect for one's name from happening again.

"Daimyo, I don't think ten million is a good amount." Lianye slowly extended one finger, mimicking the Daimyo's earlier gesture. "I think ten billion should be given!"

"You bastard, are you threatening me?"

Daming slammed his hand on the armrest of the seat in anger, his anger undisguised.

Since he became a daimyo, he has never been threatened by anyone!

Even Tobirama Senju back then wouldn't dare to speak to me like that!

"Renya!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was frantic.

He wanted to get up and pull Lianye back, but the consequences of angering the daimyo would be unimaginable.

Just as he was about to get up, Danzo Shimura stopped him.

"Hitsugane, leave him to Renya to handle."

"But……"

"Alright, I don't want to say it a second time!" Danzo's tone hardened. "Remember, I am the Hokage!"

Despite his dissatisfaction, Hiruzen could only sit obediently in his chair, looking worriedly at the location of the daimyo.

They've gone mad, they've really gone mad!

Danzo dared to allow Renya to extort money from the daimyo. Wasn't he afraid that the daimyo would retaliate against the village?

You have to understand that Konoha Village can't function without the Daimyo's financial support!

He looked at Danzo, whose expression was indifferent, and a hint of despair flashed in his eyes.

Are there really any normal people left in Konoha Village?

"A threat?" Lianye smiled. "I'm just discussing this with you on behalf of the village. Please don't use such harsh language, Your Excellency."

"Discuss?" The daimyo sneered. "Sorry, I have made my decision and I have no intention of discussing it further. Please leave!"

Asking for 1 billion without even opening your mouth, what else is that but an outrageous demand?

"As for the ten million in funding, I will send someone to deliver it to you immediately."

This arrogant ninja dared to speak to me in such a tone, and what's worse, the Third Hokage pretended not to see it!

It seems the next funding allocation will have to be reduced again.

"Since the daimyo is unwilling to discuss this, then I'll try another approach."

"Kata—"

As Lianye spoke, she gently pulled the knife by the hilt, revealing an inch of snow-white blade.

The bright white light shone into his eyes, making them extremely glaring.

Daming subconsciously narrowed his eyes, his voice growing increasingly cold.

Are you threatening me?

He didn't believe the savage ninja in front of him would dare to attack him!

Throughout the millennia, it's not that no ninja has ever attacked a daimyo. However, such behavior is universally condemned by all ninjas in the ninja world!

The death of a daimyo would prevent ninjas from receiving missions for a short period of time, and the clan to which that ninja belonged would most likely be wiped out.

We must not do things that kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Over time, the ninjas reached a consensus.

—You must not lay a hand on your employer, and you must not lay a hand on a famous person.

This emboldened the daimyo, who no longer took the ninjas seriously.

Over the years, the only instance was a few years ago when the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was threatened by the Second Hokage.

The Fire Country Daimyo gloated for a long time back then, and even now the Lightning Country Daimyo is too ashamed to show up at their gathering.

I never expected it to happen to me so soon.

Thinking of this, the daimyo of the Land of Fire stared at Renya with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Damn it!

“A threat? You could call it that.” Lian Ye suddenly laughed.

For some reason, the ninja in front of him smiled. A bad feeling inexplicably arose in the Fire Country Daimyo's heart.

Is this guy really going to attack me?

But he quickly dismissed this outrageous idea.

I almost got intimidated by this guy.

How dare these mere barbaric ninjas attack a daimyo?

"Alright, all you want is money, right? Here's some more..."

Da Ming waved his hand, preparing to offer some extra money to send the person away, as keeping them here was a nuisance.

"How about this, I'll add another ten million taels, okay?"

His impatient expression and actions made it seem as if he were dismissing a beggar.

"Know when to stop, and I hope you won't be ungrateful!"

The daimyo's gaze passed over Renya and landed on Danzo.

"You're right, Hokage."

He felt that Lianye dared to stand up because she was acting on the Hokage's orders.

Otherwise, why would an ordinary ninja openly threaten a daimyo?

All I can say is that Konoha has raised a bunch of good dogs!

"Heh, Daimyo is right." Danzo simply smiled, without even bothering to address the Daimyo with any respect.
