Chapter 185 The Daimyo's ideas are too extreme
In Konoha, many people in the village were talking about it.

Jiraiya is also a big shot, after all, he is the guardian ninja of the daimyo!

However, it is unusual that Jiraiya appeared near Konoha with serious injuries.

The fact that Di Lu was so badly injured must mean something extraordinary.

Therefore, not only many ninjas in the village were curious, but even some ordinary people were curious as well.

"Master Jiraiya was a guardian ninja of the daimyo, and his strength was not weak. He almost died. I wonder what happened to him."

"Who knows!"

……

Hearing the conversations around him, Awei also looked at the Naruto Building with a 'curious' expression.

However, Ah Wei felt nothing at all; he even wanted to laugh.

In addition, Awei was also curious about how Konoha would deal with the Daimyo issue next.

It's unlikely that Konoha can eliminate Danzo in the short term.

Therefore, forget about bringing Danzo's body to Konoha.

Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, needs to personally meet the Daimyo, but if he goes alone, the effect will definitely not be very good.

As for sending ninjas to assassinate a daimyo, Konoha actually has the capability to do so, but the risk is too great.

Regardless of what Awei was thinking at that moment, a Jonin meeting was being held inside the Hokage Building.

However, not all Jonin from the village participated.

There were only about a dozen people at this Jonin meeting.

Besides Jiraiya and F3, there are also Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi, among others.

Fugaku was also there this time.

To be honest, Fugaku felt it was a bit unreal.

There's nothing we can do; we've been suppressed for far too long.

As for Hiashi Hyuga, he was much calmer than Fugaku.

Everyone noticed that Jiraiya and F3 looked grave, clearly indicating that something serious had happened.

It's not hard to imagine the land.

Jiraiya was one of the daimyo's guardian ninjas.

So, is it related to a famous name?
The relationship between Konoha and the Daimyo has always been quite harmonious. The Daimyo was in charge of the economy, while Konoha was in charge of military power. The division of labor was clear, and the Land of Fire won several Shinobi World Wars.

But the ship of friendship still capsized.

First, the radical faction of the Guardian Shinobi killed Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage.

After Kazuma died, the daimyo was poisoned, and the poisoner was none other than the Aburame clan. This made things even more serious.

It is said that Danzo sent someone to poison the daimyo in order to frame the third generation.

But who can say that Danzo wasn't scapegoated again?
Even if Danzo did indeed send someone to poison the daimyo.

The infighting among Konoha's high-ranking officials has even drawn the Daimyo into it. How could the Daimyo not be furious?
"The daimyo has contacted the daimyo of the other four great nations, hoping to incite the other four great ninja villages to unite and wage war against Konoha." The Third Hokage didn't waste any words and stated the situation with a serious expression.

Fugaku and the others were stunned when they heard what the Third Generation said.

I knew something big had happened, and it was probably related to the daimyo, but I didn't expect it to be this serious.

“His name is…” Nara Shikaku was also shocked.

“The daimyo’s thinking is too extreme; there’s likely a conspiracy behind it,” Yamanaka Inoichi said in a deep voice.

Choza Akimichi also spoke up.

Then, one person after another spoke up.

Everyone was in a state of panic.

If the other four major ninja villages unite to attack Konoha, Konoha may not be able to withstand the attack.

Most importantly, the five great ninja villages have started a war, which is yet another ninja world war!

The brutality of the previous Ninja World Wars is still fresh in everyone's memory.

No one wants war to break out.

"Fifth Hokage, we must immediately go and dissuade the Daimyo," Hiashi said to Jiraiya as he stood up.

Dissuade the daimyo?

We definitely need to dissuade them.

But will they be able to successfully dissuade them?
At this moment, Fugaku also spoke up, but he asked who had attacked Jiraiya.

Before coming to the Hokage Building, Fugaku sent someone to the hospital and learned that Jiraiya was on the verge of death when he was taken there. If he hadn't been rescued in time, he would have died.

“It was my daimyo who wanted to kill Jiriku, but Jiriku realized my daimyo’s intentions,” Mitokado Homura sighed.

Immediately, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.

Did Jiraiya realize the Daimyo's intentions? Then he must have tried to dissuade him.

The daimyo wants to kill Jiraiya; is he trying to silence him?

The Daimyo probably already knows that Jiraiya has come to Konoha.

"This is bad," Nara Shikaku said with a bitter face.

Although Nara Shikaku is highly intelligent, he couldn't come up with a good solution at that moment.

"Fugaku, you and Jiraiya should go see the daimyo! You must persuade him to stop." The Third Hokage was craving a cigarette, but he didn't smoke; instead, he endured it and looked at Fugaku.

Fugaku was surprised.

Choza Akimichi and the others were also caught off guard.

Nara Shikaku, with his high IQ, had a sudden realization and understood something.

Jiraiya failed to persuade the daimyo, but Jiraiya and Fugaku were able to succeed in doing so?

You might not even see their names.

Assassinating the daimyo is inappropriate, and even if it succeeds, the other four great ninja villages would likely have an even better reason to do so.

Therefore, the only way is to change the daimyo's mind.

So, how do we get the daimyo to change his mind?
Nara Shikaku thought of Kotoamatsukami.

Kotoamatsukami, which can be called the strongest genjutsu, is the eye technique of Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Currently, one of Shisui's kaleidoscopes is in Fugaku's hands and cannot be used for the time being, while the other is in Itachi's hands.

If Itachi hasn't used Kotoamatsukami yet, then it's perfect for using on the Daimyo.

But if Itachi has already used Kotoamatsukami, that would be terrible.

Because Kotoamatsukami's invulnerability period is long!
However, given Itachi's personality, he probably won't use Kotoamatsukami easily.

Therefore, Itachi should be able to use Kotoamatsukami immediately.

As for Itachi being a rogue ninja, he was probably an undercover agent for the Akatsuki!

After glancing at the Third Generation, Nara Shikaku made his own judgment.

It must have been the Third Hokage who sent Itachi to infiltrate the Akatsuki.

Tsunade's ability to successfully rescue Naruto was likely inseparable from Itachi's help.

But these thoughts are not suitable to be spoken aloud.

Therefore, Nara Shikaku wisely kept quiet.

"Fugaku, come with me to see the daimyo!" Jiraiya did not object to the Third Hokage's arrangement.

Fugaku possesses the Kaleidoscope, and although his illusion magic is not as powerful as Kotoamatsukami, without Kotoamatsukami, Fugaku would have to rely on illusion magic to control the daimyo.

Nara Shikaku was right. After much discussion, Jiraiya and F3 decided to use Kotoamatsukami to control the daimyo.

Fugaku can't use Kotoamatsukami for the time being, so he can only place his hopes on Itachi.

The Third Hokage also confessed that Itachi was someone he had arranged to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization.

In order to make Itachi a full member of Akatsuki, the Sarutobi clan sacrificed 10 Jonin.

Jiraiya was filled with awe for the enlightenment of the three generations.

The old man's Will of Fire is also undeniable.

I can't deny that the old man had some selfish motives, but he also deeply loved the village.

The old man wouldn't even flinch if the village were to sacrifice its life for him.

No one is perfect, and in Jiraiya's view, the three generations of ancestors' merits outweighed their faults.

The Third Hokage also had a way to contact Itachi.

The Third Hokage has a way to contact Itachi in a short time.

Some of the ninja hawks trained by the Sarutobi clan have already flown out of the village.

……

Somewhere in the Land of Fire, Itachi saw a ninja hawk flying in from afar.

With just one glance, Itachi recognized it as a ninja hawk from Konoha, raised by the Sarutobi clan.

The Ninja Hawk flew extremely fast and soon arrived above Itachi, swooping down to land.

It landed on Itachi's shoulder.

Ninja Hawk pushed up the secret letter that was tied to it.

The secret messages contained coded messages, which were incomprehensible to those who did not understand coded messages.

This is a code used by the Hidden Leaf Village.

The Hidden Leaf Village has many secret codes.

Itachi had once served in Konoha's Anbu and even as a squad leader, so he was naturally familiar with the Anbu's various codes. He quickly deciphered the contents of the secret message.

When the contents of the secret letter were deciphered, Itachi was greatly alarmed.

"Has the Daimyo gone mad?" Itachi thought with shock and anger.

Peace is hard-won, yet the daimyo does not cherish it and wants to destroy it; it is simply foolish and despicable.

Itachi knew that the relationship between the Daimyo and Konoha was not good, but he did not expect it to have come to this.

The village leadership hoped to use Kotoamatsukami to change the daimyo's mindset, but Itachi didn't see any problem with that.

Shisui gave one of his eyes to Itachi, who also mastered Kotoamatsukami, but had not yet used it.

I had considered giving Naruto a Kotoamatsukami, but ultimately I didn't do it.

There's nothing to hesitate about now.

For the sake of Konoha and for the sake of peace, the only option is to use Kotoamatsukami to change the Daimyo's mindset.

At that moment, Itachi felt a great responsibility on his shoulders.

The village is protected by him.

Peace is defended by him.

At any cost!
He will not allow anyone to disrupt this peace.

Even a famous name...

Just then, Juzo Biwa arrived and joined Itachi.

Itachi immediately used a genjutsu, and Juzo overlooked the ninja hawk of the Sarutobi clan of Konoha.

“I have something to do, so you wait for me in the town ahead,” Itachi said to Juzo.

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Juzo became displeased.

However, Itachi didn't discuss it with Juzo; he just told him.

It wouldn't be difficult for Itachi to shake off Juzo.

The fewer people who know about my infiltration of the capital to change the daimyo's mind using Kotoamatsukami, the better.

Therefore, Itachi didn't want Juzo to know.

"What is it?" Juzo asked, not without curiosity.

Itachi didn't answer, but walked away without looking back.

Juzo's expression was uncertain, but he didn't follow Itachi.

……

Itachi wasn't far from the capital of the Land of Fire, and he arrived there in about two hours, traveling at top speed.

The Akatsuki's uniforms are too eye-catching.

Itachi changed his clothes and disguised himself as a wandering samurai.

The history of samurai is even longer than that of ninjas.

However, the status of samurai is now far lower than that of ninjas.

Therefore, most samurai ended up in rather impoverished circumstances.

Now, Itachi is disguised as a down-on-his-luck samurai, his clothes are tattered, and only the twin swords at his waist are still presentable.

For a samurai, his weapon is his second life.

Therefore, many samurai would rather starve than sell their weapons.

Upon entering the capital, Itachi glanced at the daimyo's residence.

The daimyo's residence is easy to spot; it is the most magnificent and splendid building in the capital.

With samurai and ninjas guarding the place, it wouldn't be easy to infiltrate the daimyo's residence, but that's for other people.

Looking at the sky, Itachi decided to wait until dark before taking action.

In Konoha, the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, should have already set off.

If all goes well, the daimyo's mind will be changed by Kotoamatsukami before Jiraiya arrives in the capital.

Itachi's gaze lingered on the telephone pole near the daimyo's residence for a moment, then he found a place to rest and recuperate.

We must get ourselves into the best possible condition.

……

Konoha.

"It's alright, feel free to use it." Ah Wei generously lent the Ghost Fire Motorcycle to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya expressed his gratitude.

With this ghost fire motorcycle, Jiraiya and Fugaku could reach the capital much faster.

Meanwhile, the Third Hokage sent a secret message to Itachi.

If Itachi receives the secret letter, he will go directly to the capital.

"I hope everything goes well," Jiraiya thought to himself.

Jiraiya took the key and mounted the will-o'-the-wisp.

As the will-o'-the-wisp hummed, Jiraiya had Fugaku sit behind him.

"I'll just run." Fugaku's eyelids twitched.

Ah Wei smiled inwardly.

Fugaku didn't want to ride with Jiraiya!
Since Fugaku wanted to run away, Jiraiya decided to leave it alone.

As Jiraiya channeled chakra into Onibi, Onibi left Konoha at top speed.

Fugaku followed behind the will-o'-the-wisp, eating its ashes.

For a short time, Fugaku could keep up, but after 10 minutes, he couldn't keep up.

Fugaku was physically exhausted.

“Let’s ride together! Otherwise, I’ll head to the capital first,” Jiraiya said to Fugaku.

After a moment of internal struggle, Fugaku got into the car.

Sitting behind Jiraiya, Fugaku had a cold expression.

However, Fugaku was expressionless to begin with, so there wasn't much change in reality.

But one has to admit that this Ghost Fire motorcycle is really good.

It can be used simply by inputting chakra, and it's very fast.

Adding one more person won't significantly affect the speed of the fire.

With Jiraiya channeling chakra into the will-o'-the-wisp, Fugaku no longer needed to expend chakra.

This is much faster than Jiraiya and Fugaku traveling on foot.

Using his legs, Jiraiya could run faster than the will-o'-the-wisp for a short time, but he couldn't maintain that speed indefinitely.

But the will-o'-the-wisp is different; as long as chakra is provided, its speed can be maintained for a long time.

This greatly shortened the time required to reach the capital.

When there was no road, or even when they had to cross a forest, Jiraiya was in charge of driving the motorcycle, and Fugaku was in charge of clearing the way.

The division of labor is clear.

But the Ghost Fire was also used for off-roading.

"I wonder if I-Dou-Qi has received the old man's secret letter," Jiraiya suddenly said.

Upon hearing the name "One Against Seven," Fugaku's expression became rather complicated.

Knowing that Ichi-Tachi-Seven was an undercover agent sent by the Third Hokage to infiltrate Akatsuki, Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition, Fugaku also admired the Third Hokage.

In order for the Sarutobi clan to be accepted into the Akatsuki as a full member, the Sarutobi clan sacrificed 10 Jonin!

The spirit and awareness of the third generation are truly admirable.

If it were Fugaku, he felt he couldn't bring himself to sacrifice 10 Jonin of the Uchiha clan.

Fugaku could not have sacrificed 10 Jonin from his clan just to get promoted to the Akatsuki organization in order to fight seven opponents at once.

However, if it's to eliminate the rift between a clan and a village, sacrificing the Jonin of 10 clans would be well worth it.

Therefore, compared to the third generation, Fugaku felt inferior and had much more to learn!
"It will definitely go smoothly." Fugaku believed he could take on seven opponents at once.

This time, we absolutely must complete the mission, even if it's one against seven!
……

Jiraiya and Fugaku arrived in the capital before nightfall.

Outside the capital, Fugaku quickly got off the carriage.

Jiraiya rode the will-o'-the-wisp into the city.

People in the city were all curious when they saw it.

Jiraiya was wearing a divine robe and a Hokage hat.

Not long after Jiraiya and Fugaku entered the city, the daimyo received the news.

The Fifth Hokage has finally arrived in the capital, but the Daimyo is not giving him a friendly look.

Next, Jiraiya went to see the daimyo, while Fugaku went to find Itachi.

Of course, it's not certain that Itachi is in the city; perhaps he's still on his way, or perhaps he hasn't seen the secret letter.

But if Itachi arrived in the capital first, then he must be somewhere in the city.

After parting ways with Jiraiya, Fugaku went to find Itachi.
