Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 671 Dispute
"Hehe, Lei Luo, you really know how to tell jokes."

Perhaps it was Lei Luo's tone of voice, which also made him famous enough. The 70-year-old nobleman sneered again and again, then narrowed his eyes, and looked at Lei Luo without blinking:
"You are engaged in the production of ninjas, the implementation of new policies, the introduction of a large number of foreign population, and the scale of Konoha is getting bigger and bigger. What do you want to do? Huh? Build another country in the land of fire?"

"Since you, Lei Luo, are so capable and want to break the tradition of the Ninja Village era and tear up the agreement signed between Senju Bashirama and our daimyo family, why do you still come to me?"

"Ninja Village provides force, and the state provides funds. This responsibility distribution system was established decades ago, not only to end the troubled times, but also to achieve a new balance."

The more he talked, the more daimyo felt himself getting angrier. The expression on the old face seemed so gloomy that it was about to drip water. He ignored Lei Luo's cold eyes and continued to mock:
"Konoha is developing the economy so crazily now, mixing with various big businessmen, and even almost becoming self-sufficient, so what kind of financial support do we need from the Kingdom of Fire?"

"You can go it alone, don't pay attention to the opinions of my lord, I don't care, really, anyway, looking at you, you won't let other countries invade the country of fire."

What the daimyo said was obviously angry, but it also somewhat exposed his true thoughts.

After all, if it wasn't really unbearable, how could he dare to completely cut off Konoha's funding, and make Lei Luo, a good-looking Hokage, so embarrassing?
You must know that even in the Nation of Wind where Ninja Village and the daimyo have the worst relationship, the daimyo can at most reduce the various expenditures of Sagakure.

This year, the relationship between Fire Country and Konoha Village has almost dropped to an unprecedented freezing point, and funding has been cut off. This kind of thing has never happened in any country before.

The reason why Lei Luo chose to fully cooperate with the capital forces was because he was under too much pressure and had to disrupt the plan and arrange the way out in advance.

You know, attacking the daimyo - this plan was originally something that should be done after the unification of the ninja world.

"Do it alone? What are you talking about?" The daimyo's attitude obviously made Lei Luo very unhappy, so his tone became a little rude:

"Do you know how much Konoha costs now? Just one five-two-six, almost used up our savings, not to mention the two big money-throwing households, the Research Institute and the Industrial Park. You really don't realize the improvement of technology. , is it important for the strengthening of national power?"

"Who told you to go beyond your means to make compensation for those civilians? Those guys are already lucky to be able to live in Konoha. I said you, Lei Luo, have you forgotten your own identity? Is it the duty of a ninja?"

Regarding Lei Luo's questioning, the daimyo's choice was to reply directly, and asked several questions in succession in retort, almost saying that Lei Luo dog meddled with the mouse, and what he did was simply nonsense.

At the end, seeing Lei Luo's livid face, the daimyo snorted disdainfully, and then sarcastically said: "There are also industrial parks and scientific research institutes, they are just toys for you, a child, don't make such high-sounding rhetoric Already!"

"The Kingdom of Fire has not paid attention to technology for so many years. It has not seen any troubles, and it has not been pulled down by other countries. Your actions are only to satisfy your own desires, so stop talking about national power improvement!"

When the daimyo said the last few words, the volume was already louder, the courtiers were silent, and the expressions of Lu Jiu and Naoki were even more tense. Only Lei Luo, after a short silence, paused every word with no expression on his face. road:

"I don't want to argue with you now..."

"Just right! I don't want to talk nonsense to you either!" Before Lei Luo finished speaking, the daimyo waved his fan fiercely, and immediately stood up, as if he was about to avoid the table and leave.

Clinker, a pulling force suddenly came from the sleeves, the daimyo squinted his eyes and looked sideways, just as Lei Luo stretched out his hand to grab him, and continued with no fluctuations in his face:

"Funds, how can you give them?"

In a blink of an eye, the atmosphere seemed to freeze, and the daimyo's courtiers stood up unanimously, glaring at Lei Luo one after another, and some of them shouted:

"Stop! Let go of the daimyo-sama!"

"Audacity! No disrespect!"

Turning a deaf ear to the angry reprimand, Lei Luo just stared at the daimyo lightly, and leaned on the seat without moving. Obviously, he was bound to get an answer from the daimyo today.

After staring at Lei Luo for a while, Daimyo suddenly smiled, and said to Hokage-dono who seemed to be out of control with a strange look on his face, "What? Lei Luo, if we can't agree, we're going to do it? It's very interesting." your style."

Pretending to make a casual joke, the daimyo stopped turning and leaving, just stood by the chair like this, his expression gradually turned calm, and said slowly:
"Immediately stop the construction of the second village, and kill that rogue Kawa no Kuni Daimyo for me. If you can do it, the financial appropriation can be restored to normal, otherwise..."

"You Konoha, just fend for yourself."

The dim light was projected down, reflecting the old man's face in a hazy way. There was not much threat in the old voice, but his attitude was vividly reflected between these two sentences.

Wisps of murderous aura emerged from this old man who was not a ninja, as if foreshadowing how much the fire country daimyo hated the river country daimyo.

Although Konoha's new policy has brought about various effects, and the feeling that Konoha is losing control day by day has made daimyo almost outraged, but the root cause of the cut-off of funds is still the occurrence of the second village incident.

The former, at most, means that Lei Luo, the Hokage, is acting a little out of line, but he is too eager to make the village stronger quickly, which is barely understandable in essence, at least it will not completely freeze the relationship between the two parties.

But the latter is a matter of position and must not be compromised!

Konoha can only be the Konoha of the Land of Fire, and it must be the Konoha of the Land of Fire. This is the principle, and it is also the final bottom line for the daimyo of the Land of Fire!

"The second village is related to our Konoha strategy, to attacking the Land of Wind, to the war with Hidden Sand Village, and to the next Ninja World War..."

His eyes met daimyo's eyes without blinking, Lei Luo's lips opened and closed quickly, and a series of words came out quickly without a pause, but before he could finish speaking, daimyo pulled his sleeves violently, made a stabbing sound, and Bubo Break, followed by a roar:

"Lei Luo! How many times do I need to repeat it before you can understand?! No matter what the Second Village is related to, you, Konoha, and the country of Chuan are colluding. This is wrong!"
