Chapter 140 The Status of the Daimyo
Souji led the group out of the wooden house under the silent gazes of Hashirama and Tobirama.
Even though Souji is known for his outrageous statements, he had previously discussed changing the ninja world...
However, this time, the explicit proposal to eliminate the concepts of Daimyo and Kage still surprised everyone once again!
Great name!
That was the lord served by the ninjas!
Eliminating the concepts of Daimyo and Kage... does that mean...?
To attack a daimyo...
They might even commit treason and murder the daimyo!?
After walking for a while, in this somewhat tense atmosphere, Nagato finally spoke first.
"Souji, what you just said means..."
Souji
"Um?"
"Should we take action against the daimyo?"
Nagato hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask:
"They even want to use the name..."
Although Nagato didn't finish saying the last two words, the meaning couldn't be clearer.
The Souji didn't hide anything and answered readily:
"That's right, because the daimyo will not simply give up his status and power, so he will resort to force to resolve the issue.
Although I don't want it to happen, it is foreseeable that it will happen."
"As for going further... if necessary, then naturally the only option is to kill the daimyo!"
"this..."
"It's no big deal. Ninjas are human, and so are daimyo. Ninjas can die, but daimyo can't? What kind of logic is that?"
"Including... the daimyo of the Land of Fire?"
"Certainly!"
Although the Souji spoke calmly, everyone who heard it was shocked and looked at each other in surprise.
This person actually... said "kill the daimyo" so easily!
The daimyo is the lord served by the ninjas.
Although there are occasional ninjas who dare to attack the daimyo because they serve different daimyo, they are all first-rate madmen and ruthless people.
They only attack daimyo from other countries.
Attacking one's own country's daimyo... such a mad ninja is extremely rare in history!
After a moment's hesitation, Yahiko also spoke:
"Souji, although we didn't even have the chance to pay our respects to the Daimyo when we were in the Land of Rain, let alone serve him, even people like us can understand that the Daimyo is a very important figure..."
"How exactly is it important?"
"this..."
Yahiko thought for a moment, then said softly:
"Because whether they are ordinary people or ninjas, a great many people believe that the daimyo is very important, so he is very important!"
"Our knowledge is far inferior to yours, Souji, so we can't explain it clearly. However, there are many people who revere the Daimyo and accept his rule.
If the Daimyo were to suddenly disappear, there would probably be big problems. Even we can understand this!"
"Given your knowledge, it's quite remarkable that you've come to understand things to this extent. Yahiko, you are truly outstanding."
"Thanks..."
"However, it's just like training in ninjutsu. Training is bound to be painful. There are incomprehensible theories, impossible techniques, and exhaustion after training.
All sorts of problems come one after another..."
"But to reach a better future, these pains must be endured."
"Every change comes with a price, but people can't just stop moving forward because they're afraid of the pain and cost of change and stay stuck in the problem-ridden status quo forever, can they?"
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
After a long pause, Kakuzu said softly:
"I once attacked a powerful figure from a small country."
"After all, it's just a small country, and the power to protect the daimyo isn't strong. It's just some samurai with mediocre strength.
I easily fought my way into the city and took care of the daimyo."
"The process went smoothly, and I received the bounty. However, after that, my own bounty skyrocketed, so high that I wanted to kill myself.
Of course, many more people started targeting me, although I managed to kill them all..."
Kakuzu gave a self-deprecating sneer and said:
"Do you understand what I mean?
The daimyo of an insignificant country is already like this. If you want to wipe out all the daimyo in one fell swoop, then you will definitely face the hostility of the entire ninja world!"
"Although times have changed and there are not many people like Hashirama Senju who value loyalty and righteousness, even the new generation of ninjas will basically still swear allegiance to the daimyo."
"I can roughly tell that you seem to be planning to persuade the Senju brothers, and then use some incredible means to make them appear in the human world to pressure Sarutobi, right?"
"Since you have the means to enter the underworld, it's not too surprising that you also have the means to bring the dead back to the human world.
Given Sarutobi's almost complete obedience to Tobirama Senju, you can probably really become Hokage smoothly just like that."
"But if it develops into a situation where we are enemies of the entire ninja world, even if you are the Hokage, you will probably be in big trouble, and Konoha might even fall into chaos first!"
The Souji listened attentively and nodded slightly.
"I understand, that's why we need the support of the First and Second Hokage.
With their prestige, we should at least be able to keep Konoha under control. As for the other ninja villages..."
The Souji sighed.
"I can only hope that fewer people will be so eager to die!"
"..."
Everyone listened, somewhat stunned.
People are telling you that you're in big trouble.
But you actually said you hoped there would be fewer people rushing to their deaths...
This shows a complete disregard for others!
This guy is really arrogant!
The Souji didn't explain further, after all, he couldn't very well say that he was cheating and that he was invincible, could he?
If that day ever comes, we'll just have to wait and see.
He genuinely hoped that fewer people would come to their deaths. At this point, killing people would bring no benefit whatsoever; it would only create misfortune and worsen one's mood.
However, as Kakuzu said, if he really takes action against the daimyo and no longer hides the fact that his target is all the daimyo.
At that time, there will surely be a large number of ninjas and samurai who will obey the daimyo's orders to take other people's heads.
According to records, ninjas were originally retainers of the daimyo, serving him in the shadows and fighting for him.
In the distant past, most ninjas were just ordinary people, and the ninjutsu they used was nothing more than the techniques of using ninja tools such as kunai, shuriken, and grappling hooks.
However, as the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, established the Ninja Clan and taught people the methods of chakra training, the number of people who mastered the techniques of using chakra gradually increased after training, starting with a small number of people.
Over the years, ninjas have evolved from ordinary people who simply tossed shuriken into extraordinary professionals who could fly, disappear into the ground, and unleash a barrage of fireballs and water bullets.
However, no matter how powerful they are, due to limited education and knowledge, ninjas always maintain their position as retainers of the daimyo.
