Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 669
For Lei Luo, no matter what plans the daimyo has and what cards he has prepared, as long as it is finally implemented at the battle level, the daimyo will definitely lose. This is Lei Luo's confidence in his own strength.

But if the daimyo didn't plan to play hard with him, but before the conflict started, he would order his subordinates to do some very disgusting actions, such as:

[-]. Regularly check your body with an instrument that detects chakra fluctuations to see if you are under illusion control;

Second, directly pour dirty water on him, Lei Luo, claiming that Hokage and Konoha are trying to mistreat the daimyo;

Third, order the officials and nobles to collectively condemn Konoha, incite the common people in the Kingdom of Fire to be hostile to Konoha, and occupy the moral high ground...

As long as the daimyo uses one of the above actions, not only will Lei Luo not be able to use illusion to control the opponent as originally planned, but he will also have to face the overwhelming abuse from the Nation of Fire, and even Konoha's internal problems will arise.

If things really developed to that point, even if he had the support of capital forces, his plan to control the entire territory of the Fire Nation would definitely become extremely difficult.

This is the power of ideas and people's hearts, as well as the power of name and public opinion. Relying on force alone cannot make up for the disadvantages, and there is no doubt that the daimyo has been extremely wary of him, and the possibility of using daimyo's name to launch a counterattack against him is extremely high High, so Lailo...

How to take the next step must be carefully considered.

Raising his hand slightly, and touching his chin, Lei Luo stood silently for a long time, thinking about the follow-up arrangements in his mind:
He thought of keeping the original plan unchanged, thinking of running directly to kill people, and thinking of supporting the heir of the daimyo to replace the current daimyo...

But no matter how he chooses to act, if the daimyo gives instructions to his subordinates in advance, then as long as there is a problem with the daimyo, Konoha has a high probability of encountering criticism and hostility from the entire Fire Nation, which is unavoidable.

The Asuras used their lives to convey a silent message to Lei Luo on behalf of the daimyo:

I already know what you want to do, and I'm ready to face the worst situation, so if you still want to hang around in the Land of Fire, then you'd better be honest.

"Lord Hokage..."

Just when Lei Luo thought about it and became more and more irritable, Lu Jiu carefully observed Lei Luo's face, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

"Say."

Lu Jiu took a deep breath, worked his brain frantically, and confessed his thoughts to Lei Luo: "I don't think we have to use force against the daimyo. After all, daimyo is over 70 years old this year, and he will die of old age at some point."

"Instead of being dead with the daimyo and hurting both sides, it is better to choose a daimyo's descendant to support him now. After the daimyo dies of old age, we can use the new daimyo to achieve our own political goals."

Lu Jiu is aware of the round table agreement, so his suggestion is to suspend the action, with the intention of relying on the power of the capitalists to tide over the difficult period, and wait until the right time to start the reform plan.

Lei Luo gritted his teeth and replied: "But if we don't act now, those businessmen won't see our sincerity, and the agreement is likely to be voided."

Seeing Lei Luo's slightly flustered look, Lu Jiu shook his head, considered his words, and calmly analyzed the preliminary content of the round table agreement:
"Master Hokage, all the merchants want to see is the result of a successful reform, they don't care about the process."

"I've been thinking about that agreement for a while, and I've found a very important point."

Sensing that there seemed to be something in Lu Jiu's words, Lei Luo held back his restless mood, waved his hand, and signaled the other party to continue speaking quickly.

Lu Jiu glanced at Fu Yue and the other three who were unclear, hesitated for a moment, and realized that Lei Luo had no intention of letting them leave, so he simply said bluntly:
"The reform plan, in my understanding, is roughly divided into two stages. The first stage is to control a group of important officials to speak for the reform and form a faction. The second stage is to control the daimyo to establish the reform policy."

"Among the two stages, the only place where daimyo is needed is in the second stage, and in the first stage, daimyo can have little influence, at least, he can't openly support reform without arousing suspicion group."

Seeing that Lu Jiu's words became more and more organized, obviously he had carefully studied the content of the round table agreement, Lei Luo's heart moved, he nodded thoughtfully, and then asked suddenly:

"So, what you mean is that the goal of our trip is no longer all on the daimyo, but on the group of important officials and daimyo's heirs?"

Lu Jiu quickly replied: "The first stage should be the task of the merchants. If we can complete this part of the content on their behalf and save them a lot of cost, it will undoubtedly let them see our sincerity."

"In the final analysis, the daimyo is too conspicuous, and now we have been listed as key prevention objects by the daimyo, which is equivalent to going from active to passive, from dark to bright..." Helplessly spreading his hands, Lu Jiu sighed softly With one breath, he said slowly:
"In this case, he will definitely make preparations early and lay out all kinds of secrets in advance, so that no matter how tight our actions are, there will be a day of exposure sooner or later."

What Lu Jiu said is very reasonable, Lei Luo weighed it over and over again, and found that the matter was really as Lu Jiu analyzed, in the current situation where daimyo and Konoha are torn apart, if Konoha is not to be resisted by the entire Fire Kingdom, Then you have to be careful and careful.

only……

"Lu Jiu, save your plan as a backup. I, Lei Luo, must go to the capital of the Fire Kingdom. Daimyo must also meet you. As for the specific choice of how to proceed..."

After waving his hands irritably, Lei Luo gave a direct conclusion: "See how the negotiation progresses, and then make a decision."

Seeing that Lei Luo had made up his mind, Lu Jiu stopped persuading him, and the atmosphere in the arena was silent for a while, only the faint wailing came from the severely injured Shura crowd.

He glanced coldly at the dozens of masked ninjas who fell on the ground. Because Lei Luo was in a rage and these bounty ninjas were not good people in nature, he simply told Fu Yue and Bei Liuhu:
"Kill them all, don't leave any traces."

Fuyue and Beiliu didn't hesitate at all. After receiving the order, they took out Kunai and ran towards the living Shura ninjas. They waved the butcher knife in their hands, but Naoshu moved with a hesitant expression on his face. lips, but seeing Lei Luo's extremely ugly face, he had to forcefully hold back the idea of ​​persuasion.

But after a while, all the Shura ninjas died, and then a few earth escape ninjutsu went down, and the place became extremely flat, leaving only a few fallen trees around, silently telling something.

"Walk."

After the words fell, the figures of Lei Luo and his party disappeared one after another, and continued to run towards the direction of the country of fire.
