Chapter 611: The Storm of Succession

The current Daimyo of the Land of Fire is a heroic figure, when the Pillar Brothers united with Madara Uchiha to end the Warring States Period and created Konoha, the daimyo from a samurai family took the initiative to cooperate with Konoha to establish the Land of Fire, not only persuaded the three heroes of Konoha, but also successfully grasped the power of the Land of Fire and became the nominal supreme ruler, which shows that this political skill is not weak.

However, no matter how superb his wrist is, he is just an ordinary person, and he can't escape the cruel rules of birth, old age, sickness and death, as a contemporary of the original Hokage, the age of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation is already in his seventies, and he was finally knocked down by a serious illness and is about to come to the end of his life.

And it's time for the daimyo to be passed on to the next generation, and this is a rare opportunity for the rope tree!

Since ancient times, the competition for the position of feudal lord has been the most cruel, in the face of absolute power, all the brother-son relationship seems fragile, and the human tragedy of fratricidal cannibalism in order to seize the throne also happens from time to time, and the daimyo of the country of fire is no exception.

The current Daimyo of the Fire Nation is not a sheep master, and for the sake of the smooth transition of power, he has already made his eldest son the son of the world.

And the talent of the prince is not bad, not only under the watchful eye of the brothers, he conscientiously kept the position of the prince, but also never excessively cultivated party henchmen to interfere in political affairs, so as not to be suspicious of the daimyo.

Especially because the current daimyo has a relatively long life, this prince is close to fifty years old and is about to enter old age, which shows how endurable he is!

Fortunately, the mountain that has been pressing on his head has finally fallen ill recently, and this older prince has finally survived and is about to reach the peak of power.

But it's a pity that the heavens didn't fulfill people's wishes, and this prince, who was about to inherit the throne of the Daimyo, suddenly died at a critical moment, and even died in front of the seriously ill Daimyo!

And the way this prince died was also very undignified, he actually died of a wind because of excessive drinking.

Although the Shizifu tried its best to cover up the cause of death, the news quickly spread with the help of well-intentioned people.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Fire Country was in an uproar, the daimyo was seriously ill in bed, and the son of the heir actually died of wine, and he got carried away to such a point, not only his character was problematic, but even his IQ was also problematic! The son of the world, who died suddenly for a while, became the laughing stock of the entire Fire Country. Even the prestige of the famous family was affected.

In fact, as long as you think about this matter carefully, you can find something strange, with the heart of the son of the world who has endured for more than 50 years, how can he get carried away at the last moment? And died so comically.

In fact, the death of the son of the world was completely caused by the rope tree, and the process was very simple, and it only took an illusion to solve it easily.

The purpose of Rope Tree is to disturb the situation of the daimyo and facilitate the realization of his plan to seize power.

Next, the high-level leaders of the Fire Nation were really as Rope Tree thought, and they were attracted all the attention of the heir to the daimyo throne, and no one cared about the true cause of the death of the son.

Originally, according to legal theory, the sudden death of the son should be succeeded by his son-in-law, that is, the grandson, and the grandson is already an adult in his twenties, even more suitable than the son.

But the problem is that now the daimyo is unconscious and cannot officially canonize the grandson, and the bizarre death of the prince has also caused the prestige of the entire prince's mansion to fall, and even the daimyo retainers and nobles are not many willing to come out to support the succession of the grandson.

In this delicate situation, the ambitions of the Chiyo people, who had been suppressed by the prince, broke out again, and they began to prepare to compete for the position of the daimyo. Of course, Chiyo here is not the female advisor of the sand hide, but refers to the heir of the daimyo. Generally, the retainers of the daimyo would call them His Highness, while the nobles and commoners would call them Chiyo.

Soon the situation in the daimyo government became chaotic, and Chiyo, who aspired to the daimyo throne, gathered courtiers and nobles to form their own forces with the support of their mothers. The courtiers and nobles, who had been neutral, were forced to take sides in the face of this complicated situation.

You must know that this kind of seizure of the heir is the most cruel, either you die or I live, there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the court, the victory will get everything, and the defeat will fall into the abyss forever, everyone must find their own backers, those who remain neutral, will be besieged by all forces at the first time, and the only end is to be torn to pieces.

The so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and although the Shizifu suffered a heavy blow, there were still some central courtiers who were willing to support them, so the Shisun also became one of the stronger forces.

Soon, the real hopes of inheriting the daimyo were already in contention, and the other small forces were either destroyed or annexed, except for the orthodox grandson, the other forces were Nichiyo who had the support of the samurai, Shichiyo who had the support of the buntomi and the nobility, and Yachiyo who had the support of the consortium.

The strength of these four forces is so strong that it covers almost all the forces of the entire Fire Nation government.

After the quartet held each other for a while, seeing that the death of the daimyo was approaching, they recruited troops one after another, preparing to fight it out, and even a large number of wandering ninjas and traitorous ninjas secretly accepted the employment of all parties and prepared to participate in this battle for succession.

The four forces fought openly and secretly, attacking, framing, assassinating and other means, but they did not break the fight, and the scope of the battle and conflict was limited to the capital, and the entire Fire Country was not dragged into turmoil. The main reason is that most of the military power of the Fire Country is concentrated in Konoha, and the forces of each side have very little power, and at most they can only engage in small-scale weapon fights, and they cannot spread the war to the entire Fire Country.

However, even a weapon fight can kill people, and soon an accident occurs that makes the whole form of struggle even more chaotic and tense.

The grandson of the orthodox world died suddenly in an assassination, leaving only a two-year-old child, and the prince mansion has completely lost the opportunity to seize the throne.

Two orthodox heirs died one after another, and the loyal ministers of the court were filled with righteous indignation and severely condemned the murderer. At this time, the other three parties no longer regarded the Shizifu as a threat, so they did not kill them all, but tried their best to press the crime of assassinating Shisun on the opponent's head, and at the same time tried their best to annex and win over the remnants of the Shizifu.

For a while, there were different opinions, and I didn't know who the real murderer was.

Just as the struggle intensified, the daimyo who had been unconscious finally officially died, and the three Chiyo were busy making the final battle, and they didn't even hold a national funeral.

At this time, the rope tree, which had been prepared for a long time, finally made a move, and with just one blow, it broke the earth, completely changing the situation in the Fire Country.
