Chapter 174: The Worried Daimyo (3rd Update)
The Daimyo of the Fire Nation has been keeping an eye on Xu Fan's growth and the trend of this war.
However, the final outcome shocked the Daimyo.
Not only the water shadow of the Fog Ninja Village, but even the Thunder Shadow of the Cloud Ninja Village was killed by Xu Fan.
You must know that Shadow is not only the leader of the ninja village, but also the highest combat power of the ninja village.
It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of the shadow is the strength of the ninja village, and the strength of the ninja village is the strength of the country.
This war not only did not plunge the Fire Nation into a quagmire, but instead confirmed its identity as the number one power.
This is undoubtedly great news for the daimyo.
But such news brought trouble to the daimyo.
So he directly gathered all his henchmen together and held a secret meeting.
"I really didn't expect it...... Xu Fan's strength is far superior to that of Shui Ying and Thunder Shadow. ”
"Yes, although Sarufei has promised that Konoha Village will definitely win, but will such a victory be too easy......
The daimyo began to talk about it.
While a big win is a good thing, it's not the script they expected.
Because all along, although the daimyo was the head of the country on the surface, he lacked sufficient strength.
Once faced with a strong shadow, the power of the daimyo will be weakened.
The best example of this is the second Hokage, Thousand Hands!
At the beginning of the establishment of the ninja village, an agreement was reached between the daimyo and the Thousand Hands Pillar.
Ninja Village is a force dependent on the state, so that ninjas have changed from family hire to national power.
So the village was in charge of the Hokage, and the Hokage was in charge of the Daimyo.
The relationship between the two sides is more like that of superiors and subordinates, and even the Hokage is not a simple title, but a position established by the Daimyo.
To put it bluntly, it is the head of a village.
And since it is a position, then the Hokage's right to appoint, the right to recall, should be held in the hands of the daimyo.
However, the strength of a thousand hands has broken this pattern.
Not only did he set up a department loyal to himself in Shinobi Village, but he also cultivated his own power.
He even directly appointed Sarutobi as the third Hokage.
Although the circumstances at that time were somewhat peculiar, there is no doubt that it had violated the power of the daimyo.
Despite the quick death of the Thousand Hands, Ape Flying Sun Slash is indeed the right person.
But this incident was like a thorn in the body of the Daimyo.
And now, the Thousand Hands Clan has given birth to such a sharp guy.
"If I'm not mistaken, Ape Fei Ri Slash has just appointed Xu Fan to take over the position of Tuan Zang."
Another aide member offered his opinion.
After more than ten years of development, the root organization is not only deeply rooted in Konoha Village, but also a huge power system.
Let Xu Fan take over from Tuan Zang and manage the root organization, which made the daimyo unexpected.
"Speaking of this, will Tuan Zang's death be too subtle? I always feel that this matter has nothing to do with the ape flying sun. ”
"It's not the old fox that ape Fei should worry about now."
One of the staff members' tone was very excited, and it was not difficult to see his hostility towards the ape flying sun.
But even he didn't target Ape Fei Ri in this matter.
Almost all the staff agreed that Xu Fan was the threat.
"Ape Fei is old after all, he can't be the Hokage, but Xu Fan, how old is he now?"
"About thirteen."
"Yes, at the age of thirteen, he was already the leader of the roots, and now he has the merit of killing the Mizukage and the Thunder Shadow, if I guessed correctly, I'm afraid the ape flying sun slash wants to train him to be the next Hokage."
"Xu Fan's strength is indeed qualified to be the Hokage." A staff member who looked a little old affirmed Xu Fan's ability.
But here's the problem.
Xu Fan's rise was simply inexplicable, and before this year, no one noticed him.
Even from the intelligence point of view, he was not admitted to the ninja school five years ago.
But this is such a guy, but his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, taking over from Tuan Zang, pacifying the Nine-Tails, killing the water shadow, and cutting the thunder shadow.
Meantime......
He also has the blood of the Thousand Hands Clan!
"If Xu Fan is really made the Hokage, it may be beneficial to the village, but if it is not good, it will make you ...... the daimyo"
However, the staff member only said half of his words before he came to an abrupt end, and he couldn't say the rest of the content.
The Daimyo, who had been silent, also glanced at him.
Although the daimyo has always been a family inheritance, how can it be that it can be spelled out from many heirs, and how can it not have the slightest brain.
Xu Fan has the strength of a thousand hands and a thousand hands, plus the toughness of a thousand hands.
The position of the daimyo is likely to be vacated.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that in the eyes of those people in Ninja Village, Xu Fan today is not only a hero, but also a god.
"Is Xu Fan a descendant of the pillars or a descendant of the doors?" The daimyo changed his words.
There is no need to knowingly ask things that you already know.
"It seems to be the great-great-grandson of the first place, and the descendants of the pillar are now only in the Tsunade lineage, and they haven't been back to the village for a long time."
"...... of the door" As soon as he heard the name of the door, the daimyo also involuntarily gasped.
The strength of the Thousand Hands is far less terrifying than that of his eldest brother, but his mind and wrists are far stronger than those of the pillars.
Even during his reign, he almost made the daimyo famous.
Especially when there is a dispute between the two sides, it often ends in victory.
It is no exaggeration to say that upon hearing the news of the death of the monks, the daimyo at the time felt relieved.
Now the strength between the pillars, coupled with the toughness between the doors.
Just thinking about having such a number one person makes the daimyo feel a headache.
"And what do you mean?" The daimyo couldn't help but ask.
If Tuan Zang is still alive, maybe he can support him and let him balance the forces of Xu Fan and even the Ape Fei Group.
But now, there is no group in the village, and it is basically the ape flying and the sun are the only ones.
And Ape Fei Ri Slash values Xu Fan very much.
"It seems...... I can only find a way to drive Xu Fan out of the village. A staff member gritted his teeth.
The only way he can think of now is this strategy.
"Driven out of the village?" Even the daimyo was taken aback.
"Yes, now that the country of water and the country of thunder have been hit hard, they will definitely not start another war, not to mention the country of wind, whether Xu Fan is there or not, Ape Fei can handle it."
"Losing Xu Fan in such a time of peace will not make any difference, and it will ...... I also don't want to force Xu Fan to become a traitor, Princess Tsunade. ”
"Princess Tsunade?" The daimyo and the other staff members all looked at this man, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
"Yes, Sarufei is old, and he is going to abdicate after all, so we will use this reason to drive Xu Fan out of the village, and at the same time cultivate another force to make him the Hokage, no matter what, Tsunade will not return to the village."
Daimyo tasted it carefully and felt that this plan was indeed feasible.
