Chapter 441 Five Nations Apply Pressure, Nation War Begins
Upon hearing that Konoha had not yet taken any action, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire nearly fainted from anger.
He plopped down on his throne, his anger flaring instantly.
"Bastards! What a bunch of bastards! Ah—!"
The enraged daimyo of the Land of Fire pushed everything off his table to the ground.
"This is intolerable! Pass down my orders!"
In an instant, all the subordinates knelt on the ground, awaiting the daimyo's orders.
"Issue a decree to recruit talented individuals from the Land of Fire. Seven days from now, they shall join forces with the army of the Land of Fire to launch an attack on this so-called Federation!"
"Beat them to death! I'll wipe out the Land of Grass!"
Yes!
The crowd agreed.
Although many intelligent people have realized that launching a war at this time would be an unwise move.
However, no one was willing to step forward and explain the stakes, since who would want to offend the daimyo at this time?
Isn't this just playing with your own head?
Isn't there seven days?
Perhaps in a couple of days, once the daimyo has calmed down and figured things out, he will cancel the order.
After all, this order is rather ridiculous.
You have to understand, after the previous Fourth Shinobi World War, Konoha didn't have many ninjas left.
However, in this ninja world, ninja villages are not only found in the five great nations.
The Hidden Water Village of the Land of Waterfalls, the Hidden Rain Village of the Land of Rain, the Hidden Sound Village of the Land of Rice Fields...
These countries all have ninja villages, and more importantly, they are all now members of the Federation.
In other words, these originally insignificant small ninja villages, like this federation, have been combined into one entity.
There are even rumors that the terrifying criminal organization, Akatsuki, is also working for the Federation.
Sending a bunch of ordinary people to fight ninjas is really laughable.
Tell me, what's the difference between this and delivering vegetables?
However, for now, they should just go about their business as usual.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves if the lord asked later.
Soon, news of the Fire Country Daimyo's recruitment order spread, and various rumors began to circulate.
It is said that the daimyo of the Land of Fire is recruiting talented individuals from all over the world in preparation for war with the Federation.
The news spread far and wide, causing widespread panic.
The Ninja World War has just ended here, is a new war about to begin?
Moreover, the previous Ninja World War was merely a war between ninjas.
Judging from the Fire Country Daimyo's posture, it seems they're about to start a national war.
Konoha, Hokage's office.
Shizune rushed into the office, shouting loudly.
"It's terrible, Lord Hokage! Rumors are spreading that the Daimyo is planning to launch a war against the Federation!"
"what!"
Upon hearing this news, Tsunade was completely stunned.
Mute
"Wait, has Daimyo lost his mind? What is he trying to do? Start a war with the Federation?"
Tsunade was almost laughing in exasperation.
No, putting everything else aside, if the remaining ninjas of Konoha don't go out, can the army that the daimyo maintains really fight the ninjas head-on?
He knew that several of the small countries in the Federation had ninja villages.
Let's set aside the level of powerhouses like Madara Uchiha.
Putting aside everything else, just take the Takigakure village, which had interacted with Konoha back then. Their leader was none other than Kakuzu, a famous bounty hunter in those days.
Not to mention, besides Kakuzu, Orochimaru is also there.
"This is utter nonsense!"
"Lady Tsunade, what should we do next?"
"How to do?"
Tsunade pondered for a moment before finally speaking.
"Let's not worry about it for now. The Daimyo isn't stupid. In a few days, once the Daimyo calms down, everything should be fine."
She didn't want to get involved anymore, and she also felt she couldn't handle it.
Before long, news spread that the daimyo of the Land of Fire was recruiting men in preparation for war with the Federation.
Upon learning of this news, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind responded immediately.
He publicly declared that he would also recruit talented individuals and then wage war against the Federation.
He was truly terrified of poverty. The Land of Wind was far too impoverished, and coupled with various domestic problems, it could be said that even he, as a daimyo, was at his wit's end.
Now that the Land of Fire has pointed him in the right direction, to wage war against the Federation, wouldn't it be enough to give him a temporary reprieve? The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
Soon, the Land of Earth responded, followed by the Land of Water and the Land of Lightning.
However, they were not as desperate as the Kingdom of Wind, making such a choice out of hunger.
On the contrary, they have already seen many problems, and unknowingly, the Chiba Merchant Guild has taken control of the entire ninja world's economy.
The reason why the five major countries are experiencing various problems is because the Chiba Trading Company is secretly controlling them.
The Chiba Trading Company's current headquarters is located in this Federation.
So, everything is now clear.
However, they also came up with a way to break the deadlock: to unite and issue a statement announcing the start of a national war to put pressure on the Federation.
They need an opportunity, an opportunity to negotiate with the Federation and the Chiba Chamber of Commerce.
The five daimyo began a secret meeting.
The discussion focused on how to force the federal government to negotiate with them, and also on how to obtain more benefits and how to distribute those benefits if the other party accepted the negotiation.
However, despite their beautiful plans, Tetsuya never had any intention of negotiating.
Negotiation was a dead end from the start.
As time went by, the day when the five-nation coalition would send troops to the Federation drew ever closer.
However, there was no response from the federal government.
They originally intended to use the national war to put pressure on the Federation, but now the whole thing has turned out the other way around.
They don't know if the federal government is under pressure; on the contrary, they themselves are already bursting with pressure.
"My lord, what should we do now?"
The advisors looked at the daimyo and asked about their next plans.
"What about Konoha? What's the situation there?"
"Reporting to Lord Daimyo, regarding Konoha Village..."
"What happened in Konoha? Tell me quickly!"
"Um, Lord Daimyo, Konoha said that all their ninjas are wounded and haven't fully recovered from the injuries sustained in the previous Fourth Shinobi World War, so they can't come."
"Damn it! That damned Konoha, those damned ninjas, they took so much money from me, but now they don't want to do a single thing! Fine, fine, very well."
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare abolish the ninja villages? Issue my order: from this day forward, there will be no more ninja villages in the Land of Fire!"
The advisors dared not say anything in response to the daimyo's remarks, as the daimyo was probably already furious, and to refute him would be tantamount to courting death.
The indignant man immediately slammed his fist on the table.
"Damn it, now that things have come to this, issue my order: initiate a national war!"
