Chapter 167 No One Knows Konoha Better Than Me
The capital of the Land of Fire, in the aristocratic area to the east of the city.
The once magnificent Zhongyumen mansion was empty, and the pedestrians who happened to pass by were in a hurry.
Occasionally, some bold ones would take a sneak peek and click their tongues secretly.
The elaborately carved rosewood gates are long gone, stolen by some daring hooligans.
Looking in through the open door, it was empty, without any of the grandeur of the past.
The only evidence that people lived here is the dried blood on the marble floor.
Obviously, the Zhongyumen family, which has been prominent for thousands of years, has ushered in its own doomsday, and there is no chance to start all over again.
Since this is a large aristocratic area, many nobles witnessed the demise of the Nakagomon family. Apart from being timid and angry, they also gritted their teeth at Konoha and Uchiha Obito.
All the way to the east along the Zhongyumen mansion, in a Japanese-style courtyard that occupies a huge area.
A group of luxuriously dressed nobles from the Nation of Fire gathered together, and the atmosphere was a little solemn.
Among them, the one sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man with a thin face and an extraordinary bearing.
Near the middle-aged man, an old man sighed and said: "Master Qingshan, you have an idea, what should we do now?"
Koji Aoyama, a great nobleman of the Fire Nation and the current Minister of Finance, stroked his mustache and smiled darkly: "Everyone, it's going to be hard for everyone during this time."
Most of the rest of the nobles were filled with righteous indignation and complained about their bitterness.
"Hey, those lands were bought by my Dongjiu family with money, why should they be distributed to those mud legs!"
"That's right, we don't know how to be grateful when we reward them with food, a bunch of damn ninjas!"
Koji Qingshan nodded in satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Konoha is too deceitful, who knows when it will be our turn if this continues?"
"To survive, we should unite."
The nobles nodded in unison, they could see that since Namikaze Minato came to power, the obedient Konoha had changed, and now this is a white-eyed wolf who eats people but does not spit out bones.
The old nobleman looked at Koji Aoyama secretly, and said, "Lord Aoyama, the Aoyama clan is one of the most prominent families in the Land of Fire, please give us some advice."
"Okay." Koji Aoyama stroked his mustache and said with a confident smile, "Since everyone is so kind, let me tell you what I think."
"As the Minister of Finance, I have a lot of contact with Konoha, and I think that no one knows Konoha better than me."
"In my opinion, Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Obito, the master-student pair, obviously have a lot of plans."
"If we nobles endure every step of the way, I'm afraid the future will be worrying."
The rest of the nobles looked pensive, and one of them asked, "What does Lord Qingshan mean?"
Koji Aoyama took out a map of the Land of Fire, spread it out on the wooden table, and said in a deep voice, "Look, everyone, this is the Land of Fire."
"Once upon a time, most of the land was in the hands of our nobles, but now there is not even one out of ten."
"How do you guys bear this breath?"
The nobles looked angry and sighed: "So what if you can't bear it, Konoha is powerful, we are not his opponent."
"Many families have lasted for hundreds of years and were destroyed by Konoha once."
Koji Qingshan also sighed, and said in a low voice: "Okay, let's not mention this matter for now, we can bear it for our lives."
"But now that Konoha intends to popularize Chakra, can we bear it?"
"Once those untouchables gain power, what are we nobles?"
"And everyone please see"
Koji Aoyama pointed to the map of the Land of Fire, and continued: "Konoha sent thousands of ninjas to serve as village or town chiefs. Our nobles have completely lost control of the Land of Fire. Can you bear it?"
Many nobles looked gloomy and said in a low voice: "Master Qingshan, if you have any plans, you might as well tell them. The purpose of this gathering is to discuss the way out."
Koji Aoyama chuckled, and said loudly, "I have a plan to keep everyone safe."
"Although Konoha is strong, a few thousand ninjas are nothing!"
Seeing Koji Aoyama cut his throat, one of the nobles said suspiciously: "Master Aoyama, it is easy to kill these people, but how will Konoha deal with revenge afterwards?"
Koji Aoyama smiled confidently: "We don't need to do anything, all the nobles jointly raise a sum of money according to the size of the family, and we go to the black market to offer rewards."
"Konoha has no evidence, so dare to attack all our nobles?"
The nobles looked at each other, their eyes flickering.
The old aristocrat who was obviously entrusted jumped out again, and echoed: "I believe Lord Qingshan, the Dongjiu family gave 3000 million taels."
Seeing that the attitude of the nobles had softened, Koji Aoyama hit the iron while it was hot: "Everyone, please believe me, no one knows Konoha better than I, Koji Aoyama."
"Without evidence, Konoha would never dare to do anything. Otherwise, it would be a big offense in the ninja world. The daimyos and nobles of other big countries will not let Konoha go."
"To show sincerity, the Qingshan clan donated [-] million taels."
The attitude of the nobles finally wavered, their hatred and anger overwhelmed their fear of Konoha, and they all said, "Okay, the Hasegawa family will offer 2000 million taels."
"The Watanabe family paid 5000 million taels."
"The Uchida family paid 1000 million taels."
On the other side, the heavy snow that had been falling for many days finally stopped.
On Konoha Street, the bustle of the past has resumed.
Near the Hokage Building, many Konoha residents huddled together, looking around curiously.
Among them, there were some anxious ones, seeing that they couldn't squeeze in, they said anxiously: "What is written on the notice, read it quickly."
A young man at the front cleared his throat, and said: "It will be the new year of Konoha soon. In order to celebrate Konoha's growing prosperity, we will hold a Konoha New Year's party."
"The time is seven o'clock on December 30th, please watch it on time for Konoha residents."
The short-tempered young man asked suspiciously: "I didn't say the location, where should I go?"
Many residents echoed, "That's right, there are more than 30 people in Konoha, how can there be such a big place."
At this time, a staff member came out of the Hokage Building and explained: "Everyone, don't worry, all Konoha residents can watch this Konoha New Year's Gala."
"And you don't have to go anywhere, you just need to open the windows of your home to see it."
On the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato looked at the scene below through the window, and said with a chuckle, "Obito, you kid always have so many crazy ideas."
Obito sat on the Hokage desk and said in a leisurely voice, "Konoha has experienced a lot this year."
"The Land of Land and the Land of Thunder fought a battle and won a complete victory."
"Land reform to get rid of economic dependence on nobles and daimyo."
"The next step is to carry out education reform and Chakra popularization plan, so that Konoha will be strong from now on."
"Shouldn't we be celebrating?"
Namikaze Minato nodded with a smile: "That's right, how are you preparing for the party?"
A smirk appeared on the corner of Obito's mouth: "Mr. Minato, just wait and watch the excitement."
