Chapter 622: Radical Daimyo!
In this way, the Holy Grail ceremony ended with the farewell of the girl Youye and Arthur, and the power of the scabbard was retained by Arthur to protect the girl.
It is worth mentioning that although the Holy Grail ceremony was over, Enkidu, as the ruler, did not disappear. Instead, he renewed the contract with Shiro and stayed. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a "fair" ruler.
Meanwhile, shortly after the Holy Grail Ceremony ended, Shiro became busy again before he had even gotten familiar with his new Mystic Eyes.
Konoha Conference Room.
In the conference room, Minato frowned as he looked at the messy conference room.
As he expected, after Tiezhu came out and requested to go to war, the meeting instantly went out of control. Some up-and-coming people believed that Konoha was currently in a period of rapid development and it was not appropriate to go to war with Kirigakure.
And to be honest, the Kirigakure area is not particularly good. If the root cause of the environmental problem is not solved, it will be useless to conquer it. Therefore, they firmly oppose the war and believe that forcing Kirigakure to provide a large amount of material compensation will be enough.
This group of people mainly come from some small and medium-sized families. Although the families are small, their say is not low, because they almost occupy the power of four levels of the Security Bureau and the Research Department!
In other words, they are actually a family that has risen up with the support of these two departments. From the perspective of either the village or their family, it is not appropriate to start a war.
The other faction that insisted on going to war, although mainly composed of some small and medium-sized families, and had little real power, but they had basically followed Konoha since the founding of the village. They were veterans and had no real power, but they had great say!
They already felt guilty for not helping the Whirlpool Country during World War II, and now this kind of thing has happened, which can be said to have almost completely ignited their anger!
Even though this group of people have no power in the village and don't say a word, when it comes to the critical moment, the old guys behind them who are senior will always act according to the plan!
They may not have much say in the village, but on the daimyo's side, it can be said that 50% of the ministers are their juniors!
In this situation, the third generation, Mitomonen Homura, and Utane Koharu didn't know what to say. Reason told them that they should oppose the war at this time.
But looking at the furious expression of their old friend, they really couldn't bring themselves to say it. It was indeed they who had wronged the Whirlpool Country back then.
Big clans like the Uchiha Hyuga clan also remained silent. They really wanted to start a war because if they could do this to the Uzumaki clan today, maybe it would be them tomorrow. They understood the principle that if one loses the other, the other will be cold.
But things don't work that way. As long as the Hokage doesn't express his opinion, they won't take sides rashly, especially the Uchiha, who can't make any more mistakes now.
Therefore, when these bigwigs didn't say anything, it was understandable that the conference room was as noisy as a vegetable market.
Minato said nothing, just watched them quarreling quietly. He knew very well that this matter was no longer something he could decide.
Apart from his personal relationship with the Uzumaki clan, this matter is difficult to judge from the perspective of the village alone. No bloodline family can tolerate such a thing, not to mention that Konoha owed the Uzumaki clan some debt in the past. Now, they can only wait for the decision of the daimyo, and only the decision of the daimyo can suppress everyone.
"Is this, a meeting?"
After a while, a space door opened in the conference room, and Shiro walked out of the door holding a scroll. He looked at the noisy conference room in surprise and asked lightly.
However, although the tone was light, everyone could hear the deep chill in it. Almost everyone knew that Shiro was the one who valued the authority of the Hokage the most, and their behavior at this time did not respect the Hokage very much. Therefore, when Shiro appeared, the conference room suddenly became quiet, no matter whether it was the old guys or the newcomers.
They can still jump in front of Minato because they know in their hearts that Minato is a steady and kind person. As long as you don't touch the bottom line, he will use reason to convince you. But Shiro is different. Shiro's past behavior shows that this guy is very rational, but he doesn't want to be rational!
The table will turn over anytime and anywhere!
So they can ignore Minato, but they can't ignore Shiro
Glancing at the quiet crowd, Shiro took the first seat on Minato's left, spread out the scroll in his hand on the table, and said, "This is the Daimyo's opinion on this matter. Let me give you a brief overview."
Shiro waved his right hand over the unfolded scroll, signaling them to check it themselves. Then he leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "To make a long story short, the Daimyo's intention is very simple: destroy the Water Kingdom!"
"!!!!" XN
Everyone in the conference room looked at Shiro in shock!
This is a war to annihilate a country!
Even the most angry Tiezhu had never thought of this possibility. He wanted more to teach the Water Country a profound lesson, nothing more, but now
"Silang, don't act on impulse!" Tiezhu looked at Silang solemnly, and the third generation and the others had the same expression.
They didn't doubt the correctness of the order. It had the daimyo's seal on it, and it had a special code that ordinary people wouldn't even know about, let alone imitate. So they were worried that Shiro had coerced the daimyo into making this decision.
Judging from Shiro's previous personality, this is not impossible!
Shiro rolled his eyes. "I don't want to either, but this is the Daimyo's intention. The scroll says that the Whirlpool Nation is a long-standing ally of the Fire Nation. It was the previous Daimyo's regret that he failed to aid the Whirlpool Nation. It was our inaction that led to the current tragedy. We must settle old and new accounts together, and at the same time, give the Uzumaki Clan a belated explanation."
That's what the daimyo said. I tried to stop him, but failed. The daimyo's will is very firm. I think you will not disobey the daimyo's orders, right?"
As he spoke, Shiro's eyes narrowed slightly after the killing. Just as he supported Minato's right to be Hokage, Shiro also strongly supported the rule of the Daimyo.
Firstly, with the Daimyo's trust, Shiro can do whatever he wants in the Land of Fire without touching the weak nerves of the ninja world's will, which will be of great help for future plans. Secondly, this will also help to liberate the ninjas from the endless darkness in the future and let them fight for the Land of Fire in the name of soldiers rather than as tools.
Everyone was startled, and the slight thought of opposing the daimyo's order disappeared in an instant.
Minato sighed deeply. Although things were developing in the direction he least wanted, he was the Hokage. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to stand up and preside over the meeting.
However, with the daimyo's order, the name of the meeting changed to the combat meeting against the Water Country!
