"What's going on today? Why is the meeting venue changed to the cabinet?”An elder whispered to the person sitting beside him uneasily.
"Yes, I also feel that something is wrong. It seems that something big has happened.”The person beside him replied.
"Could it be that something happened on the streets of the Country of Thunder?”The elder pondered.
"I don't know either. Let's wait and see. The people here today are either the upper echelons of Woodleaf or the important ministers of the Fire Country.”That person looked around and said. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he said in a daze,"Even the other three elders of Muye have come!”
The elder looked in the direction of this person's gaze. Indeed, in the most eye-catching place, the three most influential clan leaders and elders of Muye Clan, who had never seen each other for a long time, were sitting alone. They did not speak to anyone else. They sat there calmly, drinking tea without saying a word.
"Such a shocking scene, hehe…Muye is going to change the sky!" The elder sighed.
At this moment, the entrance door opened, and Kuruma Ten Stones walked into the cabinet under everyone's gaze. Looking around, he found that other than him, the other three elders who were not simple and crude had also gathered here. Kuruma Ten Stones was shocked, and then he walked to the table with the other three clan leaders with a harmless smile. He smiled and said to the Uchiha Clan's leader on the right,""Oh, so it's Patriarch Uchiha. I wonder when the Uchiha family started getting involved in Koba's affairs?”Kuruma Juokushi's words were obviously exposing the scars of the Uchiha clan.
After the battle between Uchiha and the Thousand Hand Pillar, Uchiha was defeated. The Uchiha family suffered a heavy blow, and their reputation for co-founding the Kogye clan with the Thousand Hand clan plummeted. On the other hand, the other families also liked to kick them when they were down. For a time, the Uchiha family was like a rat crossing the street, everyone liked to step on them and pinch them. As the leader of the Thousand Hand Clan and the first generation of Naruto, he understood that in order to ensure that the Uchiha Clan would betray or leave Koba, either of these would be a loss for Koba.
For this reason, the Thousand Hand Pillars appointed the current leader of Uchiha, Uchiha Gomi, as the Four Great Elders of Koba to handle some of Koba's affairs. At first, the Uchiha family did not agree, and the appointment letter was lost when it reached the clan. It was not until the Thousand Hand Pillars personally visited the Uchiha family and promised that the Uchiha family would set up a special guard team for Koba that he officially became an elder of Koba. Of course, the Thousand Hand Pillars were not stupid. They arranged for the Hinata and Kurama clans to check and balance the Uchiha clan. The Thousand Hand Clan had retreated behind the scenes in name, but they were actually accumulating strength. (Friends who like schemes and plots can read the books introduced by Xiao Xu. For the balance of emperors, you can read the book written by Gao Yue. The anatomy of the emperor's technique is very exciting. For the way of officials, you can read the book written by Yue Guan. The book about black-bellied Wu Old Wolf is not bad!)）
"Hehe, pommel horse clan leader must be joking. No, it should be the old chief of the Kuruma Clan. I almost forgot. You're wrong. I, Uchiha, didn't want to get involved in these things. I'm not like you. You like to get involved in everything. But I can't blame you. It's your fault that the Kuruma Clan doesn't have a successor! Sometimes, when a person is sitting high, it hurts when they fall. Look at you now, I'm afraid you can't help but fall, right?”Uchiha snickered.
"You…" Ten Stones of Kurama stood up, panting heavily as he pointed at Uchiha Enlightenment.
Satoshi Uchiha looked at Kurama Juoku and laughed as he pointed at the entrance."Don't bother, look, Daimyo and Naruto are here!”
Ten Stones of Kuruma turned his body to look. Sure enough, outside the entrance, Daimyo and the Door of a Thousand Hands were politely giving way to each other. When Ten Stones of Kuruma saw this, his dark gray eyes revealed a murderous look. He turned his head and fiercely said to Uchiwa,"You better remember this, kid from the Uchiha family!”
Uchiha acted as if he did not hear anything and picked up his teacup to drink tea. This made Kurama Shiishi even more angry. He snorted heavily and sat down.
Zuo Yuan followed behind the Door of a Thousand Hands and watched as the " great " daimyo and the Door of a Thousand Hands pushed and shoved each other, saying " you first, you first " and so on. In the end, it was the daimyo who walked in front.
Daimyo and the Thousand Hands Villa sat at the two tables in front of them, followed by the four great clans, followed by the other small clans of Muye and some important ministers of the Fire Country. After everyone was done, Daimyo looked around and found that everyone was present. He coughed heavily and said slowly,"The people here today are all the pillars of the Fire Country. Actually, the main reason we gathered everyone here is to discuss the matters of the Thunder Country!”
At this moment, the chief of the Nara Clan, Nara Akichi, stood up and said,""Regarding the Thunder Country borrowing the money to attack the Sand Country, I strongly disagree.”
"Yes, we won't agree to it. We're betraying the integrity of the Fire Country!”
"That's right, you're not allowed to sign an agreement with the Country of Thunder.”The other small families said one after another.
"Pa!" With a loud bang, Daimyo propped up his thick body and slammed it heavily on the table. He looked at Nara Akiichi with fire in his eyes. The crowd fell silent for a moment."There's going to be a good show next!"
However, things did not go as planned. Daimyo suddenly clapped his hands and said,""That's right, the Nara Clan is indeed a loyal clan of the Fire Country! Chief, please sit down and talk!" Finally, Daimyo extended his hand to ask for instructions. After Nara Akiichi sat down, Daimyo continued,""Last night, Huo Ying suddenly came to me and told me that the Country of Thunder was only using this path for the four countries to encircle the Country of Fire.”
"Conspiracy? Four kingdoms?" Everyone present was puzzled, and they looked expectantly at this incomparably big name, hoping that he could answer them. As for Ten Stones, his expression tensed up, and his two thick eyebrows were tightly pressed together as he stared at the Door of a Thousand Hands.
After enjoying everyone's expectant gazes, Daimyo nodded at the Door of a Thousand Hands. The Door of a Thousand Hands glanced at Zuo Yuan to signal him to get ready. Zuo Yuan, who was standing behind the Door of a Thousand Hands, knew why the Door of a Thousand Hands had pulled him out of bed early in the morning. He took a deep breath and tried to adjust his state of mind.
"Actually, this matter is all thanks to my son. If not for him, I would still be in the dark!”The Door of a Thousand Hands smiled as she said. She then turned to Zuo Yuan and said,"Zuo Yuan, you can tell everyone here what you think now!”
"Yes, Father!" Zuo Yuan bowed to the Thousand Hands Door and then walked to the center of the room to explain the conspiracy of the Country of Thunder. After he finished, Zuo Yuan looked at the reaction of the crowd and found that the cabinet was in an uproar. Some small families were whispering to each other. Only the people of the four families had different expressions. The leader of the Thousand Hands Clan, Thousand Hands Dazhang, was smiling. When Zuo Yuan looked at him, he even nodded at Zuo Yuan. The other two clans didn't seem to care about him. Only the ten stones of pommel horse glared at each other.
"If we really do as you say, what should the Fire Country do in the future?”Ten Stones the Pommel Horse stood up and asked.
"Who is this old man? However, seeing that he can sit in the front row, he should be a fellow that is not to be trifled with. However, why did he push me into a place where everyone is targeting me? Obviously, this old fellow is hostile towards me, but I won't fall for it!”Zuo Yuan stared at the ten stones pommel horse as his mind raced. He smiled shyly and said,"That is a matter of talent. This kid just happened to step on dog shit and saw through the Country of Thunder's scheme.”Zuo Yuan stretched out his hands and pretended to be innocent.
The cabinet instantly fell silent, and the sound of a pin drop could be heard. Then, a burst of laughter reverberated in the cabinet. Even Daimyo was amused by Zuo Yuan's words. He pointed at Zuo Yuan and wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He could only laugh and shout. Even the Thousand Hands Fairy was shocked for a moment. In fact, after the Thousand Hands Fairy went to discuss with Daimyo last night, Daimyo was also stunned after hearing Zuo Yuan's opinion. He casually joked,"It seems that Mu Ye has another heir after your brother and you. If you want that child to inherit the Naruto position, I will definitely support it with all my strength!”Although his name was just a casual remark, his words were like a seed deeply buried in the heart of the Door of a Thousand Hands. Now, he was just instilling nourishment for the first time.
"This child's future is limitless. He doesn't have the arrogance of his peers. He doesn't know how to act when he wins. Not bad!”Everyone below gave Zuo Yuan ten points in their hearts. He was also thinking,"I happen to have a granddaughter who's about his age, but I don't know if the child is married yet." Even if she couldn't be the main wife, being a concubine wasn't bad. At least she could be connected to the big tree Thousand Hands.”
"Your name is Zuo Yuan, right?" Daimyo wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with one hand and pointed at Zuo Yuan with the other.
"Yes!" Zuo Yuan replied respectfully.
"Zuo Yuan, tell me, what will happen after the Fire Country rejects the Thunder Country?”Daimyo also leaned forward to listen to Zuo Yuan's opinion.
Zuo Yuan paused for a moment and looked at the Door of a Thousand Hands. The Door of a Thousand Hands nodded at him, and the Thousand-handed Octopus also nodded with a smile. Even Uchiha nodded at Zuo Yuan to signal him to speak. "You asked me to say it!" Zuo Yuan thought to himself. He closed his eyes and tried his best to calm himself down. In his mind, he drew a picture of the relationship between countries.
Seeing this scene, everyone's emotions were stirred by Zuo Yuan. They consciously closed their mouths and did not even dare to breathe loudly. Only Ten Stones the pommel horse snorted and slowly sat back down to drink tea.
Suddenly, Zuo Yuan opened his eyes and let out a breath of turbid air. He said," Everyone here should be clear about the current situation of the world. Although there are many small countries at the borders of the five countries, none of them are a match for the big countries. To be honest, the strongest country is the Thunder Country, while the Fire Country is relatively weaker. If the Thunder Country is ranked first, then the Fire Country will naturally be ranked second. As for the Sand Country, its ranking is quite special. It's ranked third, that's right, third. If the Country of Fire or the Country of Thunder were to form an alliance, they would be able to resist or dominate the world.”
"Hehe, what a joke. Although the Fire Country and the Sand Country have secretly formed an alliance, there's no substance to it. It's useless to form an alliance with just a piece of paper!”Ten Stones said disdainfully.
"This lord is right!" Zuo Yuan bowed to the pommel horse and said,"But we do now, and it's in Daimyo's hands.”
"What? In my hands?" Daimyo asked in a daze.
"That's right, it's the Thunder Country's agreement in Daimyo's hands. I believe the Sand Country will be shocked when they see the Thunder Country's signature on the agreement!”Zuo Yuan said with a smile.
"That's right!" Daimyo stood up and shouted.
"Oh no, it's over!" The pommel horse cried out sadly in his heart, and then laughed sinisterly,"Do you really think that the Sand Country will side with the Fire Country just because of this agreement?”
" Hehe, as long as we cut off the possibility of the Sand Country leaning towards the Thunder Country, it'll be fine. The Sand Country without any resources is no match for the Thunder Country, so they'll have no choice but to lean towards the Fire Country.”Zuo Yuan replied.
"Oh, so it's impossible for the Sand Country to side with the Thunder Country?”The Thousand-handed Octopus was getting more and more interested in Zuo Yuan.
Hearing this, Zuo Yuan lightly spat out two words,"Emissary!"
"Envoy?" Everyone asked in their hearts.
Suddenly, the old and shrewd Thousand-hand Dazhang clapped his hands and laughed,""Wonderful, truly wonderful! As long as they sent the messenger of the Thunder Country to the Sand Country, the Sand Country's Daimyo would definitely kill the messenger. That would be equivalent to slapping the Thunder Country in the face and completely cutting off the possibility of the Sand Country siding with the Thunder Country!”As he said this, Zuo Yuan's turbid eyes suddenly lit up, causing his scalp to go numb.
Hearing what the Thousand-hand Octopus said, everyone present understood and cheered. The fog suddenly cleared up. The eyes of the Thousand-hand Leaf were filled with admiration. The seeds were already stirring under the ground. They could break out of the ground at any time and reveal tender buds.
"Good, that's great! The Fire Country was truly blessed to have such a genius!”Daimyo was so happy that he placed his hands on the table. He wanted to crack open Zuo Yuan's head and see what was inside!
"Hmph, a war without power will only reduce the wealth of the Fire Country.”Ten Stones snorted.
"Yes, as long as the Daimyo wins, those small countries with dissatisfied merchants will definitely side with the Fire Country. I believe that those small countries and merchants will be a force to be reckoned with!”Zuo Yuan retorted.
"Haha! Then what should be done about the actual battle?”Daimyo asked, surprisingly sober.
This question really shocked Zuo Yuan."It seems that no one is stupid enough to stand out from the rest of the brothers and ascend to the throne!”He opened his mouth and said,"Twelve words. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy moves, I move first!”
"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy moves, I'll move first!”Everyone repeated the twelve words from Zuo Yuan's mouth and understood the incisiveness within.
Suddenly, Da Ming slammed the table and shouted,"Good, good, good!"”After saying three good words in a row, he said excitedly,"Naruto, I think we should secretly send Zuo Yuan to the Sand Country this time. I believe that his clever mouth will definitely surprise the Fire Country!”
"Yes, my great name, I also have the same intention!”The Door of a Thousand Hands stood up and said.
"Alright, I'll get rid of you this time, Zuo Yuanjun!”Daimyo said meaningfully to Zuo Yuan, who was still in a daze.
Zuo Yuan woke up and said excitedly,""Yes, I will definitely not let you down!”In his heart, he thought, I can finally go out and see the outside world!”
"Alright, from now on, Shinobu Sahara will form a special operation team to visit the Sand Country!”Daimyo shouted.
"Yes, sir!" Zuo Yuan gladly accepted the order.
"If we don't kill this young man, there will be endless trouble in the future!”One of the people present thought to himself.
