In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 265: Plotting against the Daimyo
However, when he learned from Galura about Shimizu's development of the Kekkei Genkai and the details of his sparring with the Third Kazekage on the training ground, he suddenly realized that Shimizu's growth was much faster than he had imagined.

The current Qingshui is definitely not inferior to him in strength.

This is no longer a future competitor, but a direct opponent who is capable of getting right to the table!
As Luo Sha was finding it difficult to make further breakthroughs in strength, he spent all his time mining except for normal practice.

He had to prove to the Third Kazekage that he could accomplish more meritorious deeds, create more wealth for the village, and have higher value!
In the past, for such an important matter, the Third Kazekage would only call Chiyo and Ebizo, the two real core figures among the Sand Village elders, to discuss it, but now he called both him and Shimizu over.

In Luo Sha's opinion, this is the Third Kazekage's statement that the two of you must be the core of the village in the future, and the Fourth Kazekage will be born from the winner between the two of you.

The intelligence document sent from the capital was quickly reviewed in front of Shimizu, Luosha and Chiyo.

Ebizo didn't read it because he was the one who sent someone to submit this document to the Third Kazekage.

"Let's talk about it. Although the village is now much richer than before, the military funds allocated by the daimyo are still an important part of the village's financial income. Although we can't say that we can't survive without this money, we can't do without it, and we can't reduce it. You are all the core of the village now or in the future, and you should know how much this amount of money can do."

"What's more important than money is the attitude of the new daimyo and the nobles in the capital towards the village. For the future of Wind Country and Sand Village, this status quo must be changed."

The Sandai Kazekage waited until everyone had finished reading the document, then spoke in a deep voice.

Shimizu, Chiyo and Ebizo did not rush to answer, but sat in their seats and thought slowly.

On the contrary, Luo Sha, who was eager to show off, was a little impatient.

"Teacher Sandaime, it seems that the new daimyo is very afraid of the village and thinks that the village's current growth will get out of control, so he wants to use finances as a rein to control the village. I think it would be better to send someone to disguise his identity and assassinate him to warn the new daimyo."

Chiyo and Ebizo looked at each other speechlessly.

Qingshui had a blank expression on his face, and still looked like he was thinking seriously.

Luo Sha's answer...

It was not unexpected to him and it was in line with his style.

This guy even used such a stupid method as assassination to test his youngest son Gaara, who was the Jinchūriki.

Even in the Konoha collapse plan, the original plan was to assassinate the Third Hokage together with Orochimaru in the competition, but he was killed by Orochimaru.

It seems that assassination is the most effective political means.

But assassination is actually just a quick and low-cost political means. It is indeed very useful in specific circumstances and is also an important way for the weak to defeat the strong.

But assassinations often carry extremely high risks.

This risk refers not only to the success rate of the assassination, but more to the price that will be paid after the assassination is recognized.

In most cases, for an official force, an assassination must be absolutely concealed and deniable.

Unless the two parties have already torn apart their relationship, or have decided to torn apart their relationship, assassination will never happen if it is possible to avoid it.

Not to mention that the assassination mentioned by Luo Sha did not mean to kill the daimyo.

"Not appropriate." The Third Kazekage shook his head decisively and denied his disciple.

"Even if there are conflicts of interest, the daimyo is not our enemy. At least we cannot have a direct conflict with the daimyo. Using this method as a warning will only lead to a conflict."

The daimyo has a very special status in the ninja world. His symbolic significance to a country is even greater than that of the shadow. He holds the most basic political power of a country, such as population taxation.

The direct relationship between the Kage and the Daimyo is quite similar to the relationship between the Shogun and the Emperor, and also somewhat like the relationship between the king and the domestic military nobility in some parts of medieval Europe.

However, the power held by the daimyo is stronger than that of the emperor. It is not just symbolic. The kage is not a single military noble, but the spokesperson of the political group composed of all the military nobles in the country. He may even surpass them and can be regarded as the head of the country together with the daimyo.

The former needs the latter's strong power to guarantee its own status, and the latter needs to rely on the former's symbolic significance and financial allocations to maintain and expand its power.

As Rosa said, finance is the reins that the daimyo uses to control the ninja village.

Even though the ninja village has a high degree of autonomy and the daimyo has no power to command the ninjas in the village, if the ninja village wants to support a strong military force, it must have financial support from the daimyo. If it loses this most important financial income for the ninja village, the ninja village will quickly weaken no matter how strong its military strength is.

This is also the most important card for the daimyo to control the ninja village.

But now the Sand Village seems to be showing signs of breaking free from its reins.

Luo Sha fell silent.

He couldn't think of any other way.

As for killing the daimyo and replacing him with a new one, he didn't dare to do such a thing.

Qingshui wanted to replace a new puppet to sit on the position of daimyo, but for such a matter of statecraft, the means cannot be too crude, and there are no suitable conditions now.

At least they certainly cannot simply assassinate the daimyo and directly support a puppet to come to power.

Everyone would be able to see that other countries would definitely take this opportunity to join hands and interfere in the internal affairs of the Wind Kingdom.

The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack his alliances, and the next best is to attack his troops.

Direct use of force is the worst option, and the daimyos of other countries would definitely not want to see such ninjas threatening the daimyo's life and challenging his authority. This is no longer a matter of internal affairs, but represents the ninja class challenging the daimyo's authority, and at that time they will definitely ask the ninja villages under their command to send troops.

And those ninja villages would be happy to defeat the increasingly powerful Sand Village.

Although Sunagakure is now a super ninja village at the strongest level like Konoha, it cannot withstand the joint attack of four ninja villages.

If you want to change the current situation, you must first weaken the daimyo's power, and then shoot an arrow at the daimyo.

Just like the arrow that Zheng general Zhu Dan shot that dispersed the sacred halo of the Zhou emperor.

And this arrow definitely could not have been shot by someone from the Sand Village, at least it couldn't be thought to have been shot by someone from the Sand Village.

Shimizu was secretly calculating the feasibility of various plans, while Chiyo, Ebizo and the Third Kazekage also expressed their opinions.
