**Fire Nation**

It's early winter, the temperature has dropped sharply, and it's snowing earlier this year than usual.

**Inside the Palace**

The daimyo, wearing a thin shirt, approached the window with the help of his attendants.

As soon as he opened the window, the wind and snow blew into the room, making the daimyo shiver, with his face dusted by snowflakes.

"So much snow."

"The air conditioner invented by Konoha is truly amazing. It's snowy winter outside, but inside feels like spring."

"It's just a shame about Konoha..."

The daimyo asked someone to close the window before finishing his sentence. He had been feeling troubled recently.

The memorials from his loyal ministers and generals impeaching Konoha piled up on his desk like snowflakes.

Rebellious ministers and traitors, causing harm to the country and the people. All kinds of accusations were directed at Konoha. A group of people who only knew how to make money had been comfortable for too long and had forgotten the ninjas' swords.

Did they really think ninjas couldn't lift a sword?

There were even fools suggesting that the Hokage of Konoha be escorted to the Land of Fire to face charges. The current Sandaime Hokage is an Uchiha!

The foolish ones, obsessed with profit, actually want to add insult to injury!

The daimyo understood the relationship between the Fire Nation and Konoha. It seemed that Konoha needed the Fire Nation's funds to operate, but in reality, the Fire Nation couldn't do without Konoha.

Without Konoha's ninjas helping the nobles suppress rebellions, those unscrupulous people might have attacked the palace by now.

Konoha's recent actions were a bit outrageous, but what could he do?

Could he really accuse Konoha and arrest Uchiha Kusu?

Stop dreaming!

The daimyo sighed heavily. Ever since the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, bridged the hatred between ninja clans and created a village composed of ninja clans, uniting scattered clans into a group, his father, the previous daimyo of the Fire Nation, had warned that ninjas would eventually realize their status and become the true masters of this world. Ordinary people like them could drive ninjas to perform tasks and enjoy wealth happily for thousands of years, a blessing from heaven.

Don't wishfully imagine that such days can last forever; people must face reality.

Facing Konoha, which was becoming increasingly powerful and repeatedly touching the nobles' bottom line, the daimyo maintained one principle:

It's murky, it's murky.

He just lived a makeshift life, taking it one day at a time. The daimyo himself wanted to live a few more years, so he just turned a blind eye.

However, Konoha's move this time was too big. In order to acquire the Fire Nation's iron ore, it really offended a large number of the Fire Nation's top executives. It was no longer as simple as grabbing food from the tiger's mouth but directly cutting flesh from them.

Even if the daimyo was willing to help Konoha cover up, memorials impeaching Konoha continued to be submitted. There were bad people in the court and cronies everywhere.

The daimyo sighed in his heart, pondering how to handle this matter. He had already sent people to negotiate with Konoha, but so far, there was no news.

"Lord Shikaoto of Konoha is here."

An attendant walked in from the door. The daimyo was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly invited Nara Shikato in.

"Lord Daimyo, you're well."

Nara Shikato greeted the daimyo with a smile, and the daimyo responded with a smile while sitting on a recliner, chatting with Nara Shikato casually.

"The snow is heavier this year than in previous years."

"Yes, but with the daimyo's air conditioner, it's always spring."

"Thanks to Konoha for this."

Nara Shikato smiled happily, knowing the daimyo placed another large order for air conditioners, seemingly wanting to decorate the entire palace.

Truly wealthy?

After drinking a cup of tea, Nara Shikato decided it was time to discuss business and said jokingly:

"I heard some mosquitoes have been buzzing in the daimyo's ears recently. Even the Hokage working in Konoha heard it. Is this true?"

"They're just insignificant mosquitoes. If they disturb peace, that's one thing. But if they bite, the itch is unbearable."

"I wonder what Mr. Lu Yuan can do?"

The daimyo put down his tea cup, his smile undiminished, looking at Nara Shikato expectantly.

The best solution in the daimyo's mind was for Konoha to write an apology, and the daimyo would feign anger and reprimand them severely.

Lift it high and put it down gently.

Everything would be safe in Konoha, and the nobles and ministers causing trouble could have an explanation, resolving the matter smoothly.

"Your Highness has always treated Konoha well. Konoha won't make things difficult for the daimyo."

Before the daimyo heard what Nara Shikato said, he was immediately overjoyed.

Nara Shikato took out an envelope and handed it to the daimyo. The daimyo eagerly opened it, finding the apology note he had been hoping for.

Thousands of words, full of absurdities. The core meaning was that Konoha's actions were indeed unreasonable and asked His Highness to consider Konoha's efforts for the Land of Fire over the years and give them another chance.

"Hahaha, Konoha is indeed the backbone of the Fire Nation. If it weren't for the noise from my subordinates, I wouldn't want to trouble the Hokage with this matter."

The daimyo excitedly approached Nara Shikato, taking his hand to show closeness.

"Lu Yuanjun, stay in the palace tonight. I'll entertain you with a banquet."

Nara Shikato broke free from the daimyo's hand and took out a sealing scroll from his arms.

"Your Highness, Konoha has given you face.

"But the Hokage stated that Konoha's face also needs restoration."

Nara Shikato's words froze the daimyo's smile. He didn't understand what Nara Shikato meant, but instinctively felt something was wrong.

"Your Highness, please look at what the loyal ministers and generals of the Land of Fire have done over the years."

Nara Shikato made a seal, presenting a bunch of charges to the daimyo.

Buying and selling official positions, corruption and bribery, forming cliques for personal gain, taking lives lightly, usury, setting up private courts, and even participating in the struggle for the throne among the daimyo's sons—these rotten activities were thoroughly investigated by Konoha.

The people involved in the charges were all ministers and nobles who had impeached Konoha recently. Just a few charges could confiscate their property, exile them, and execute their entire family.

"This, this, this..."

The daimyo was so surprised he couldn't even speak. On one hand, fearing Konoha's usurpation, breaking the non-interference bottom line between Konoha and the Land of Fire. On the other hand, surprised at these insects' boldness. For money, they dared do anything.

The money and land collected over the years exceeded the daimyo's imagination. If all charges were implemented, the entire court of the Land of Fire would be replaced, involving so many people that even the daimyo dared not act rashly.

"Your Highness, how should these people be dealt with?"

This was the first time Nara Shikato saw these charges. The wealth and land involved exceeded 100 billion taels, making Nara Shikato greedy. What kind of ninja mission was this? He could just eliminate these harmful insects and let Konoha prosper for 20 years.

However, Nara Shikato could only think about this. The Fire Nation's nobles had intermarried for generations, with a complex relationship network. Could they really kill them all?

If these charges were made public, even the daimyo might die quietly in the palace. A divided Fire Nation wasn't what Konoha wanted.

At that time, all kinds of chaos would emerge in the Fire Nation. The noise from these people might rival a ninja war.

Harmony and stability—a stable country is what Konoha wants.

If Konoha really arrested them according to the list, judged, and executed them.

The daimyo would be the first to disagree, likely turning against Konoha and declaring them traitors.

The wealthy nobles would give money, those with food would provide food, and directly give large sums to the other four major ninja villages, inviting them to help eliminate Konoha's traitors. Whoever worked hardest could replace Konoha and move to the Land of Fire for a happy life.

The Sand Village, already short on money and food, would likely be the first to stand up, followed by the Rock Village and the Cloud Village.

So Uchiha Nan set the tone: only kill the main culprits.

Kill those making the most noise and charging ahead.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!

Konoha's interest in your business is a favor, willing to negotiate and buy it with money, instead of wiping out your family with shuriken and taking everything easily.

You're ungrateful, truly a big bad guy!

We must strike and destroy you!

It took a long time for the daimyo to recover from the shock, opening his mouth but unsure what to say.

It happened too suddenly, and the daimyo was unprepared.

"Could it be a mistake? I know their character; they're all good officials, honest and upright."

The daimyo tried to cover up his subordinates' actions with nonsense. He knew all too well, and some crimes were unknown to him.

In the past, if the daimyo found out such bold actions, he would have been furious and killed some of them.

But now it's different. Konoha wants to overturn the table. They took some iron ore by trickery and were impeached a little by ministers. Everyone just fooled around and the matter was over.

What do you mean, Konoha, you want to overturn the table now?

Why do you have to do this!

Can't we all sit down and talk?

"Your Highness, do you mean Konoha is framing the princes and ministers of the Land of Fire?"

"Konoha can't afford this crime."

Nara Shikato sneered, and the sneer made the daimyo sweat. The air conditioner was set high, but the daimyo felt like he was in an ice cellar.

"Of course, it wasn't Konoha. I trust it. But the people involved are also..."

The daimyo was so excited he couldn't speak clearly. There were wolves in front and tigers behind. If both sides pushed, they could kill him.

Obviously, it was just a trivial matter at the start. Although the daimyo was troubled, he didn't take it to heart.

But Uchiha Nan didn't think so. It was a small matter, but the insects made a fuss, and the daimyo made excuses.

If Konoha does something slightly out of line in the future, this group will still impeach Konoha, so it's better to make a big fuss now.

Mr. Lu Xun said if a room is too dark, and you say you want to open a skylight, everyone will oppose it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they'll reconcile and open the skylight.

The same is true for this group of insects. The matter must be resolved once and for all, leaving no tail.

Nara Shikato looked at the panicked daimyo and felt the situation was almost over, so he said:

"Your Highness, be patient. Hokage has considered everything for you."

"These people are hateful, but this matter is serious. The Fire Nation can't do without these insects for now. We can only punish the chief culprits and single out the fattest, most guilty insects for trial."

"The remaining insects are easy to handle. These crimes have always been there. We can slowly eliminate them over more than ten years."

Nara Shikato's words calmed the daimyo's heart.

He thought Konoha would turn against the Fire Nation over a small matter. Just don't turn against it.

Just don't turn against it.

The days of wealth and peace can continue.

"That's good, that's good."

The daimyo wiped the sweat from his head, realizing his underwear was soaked.

It was so exciting. I almost scared myself to death.

"Daimyo, Konoha thinks these people should be killed!"

"They've done the most corrupt things and plundered the most wealth."

Nara Shikato showed a greedy smile. Confiscating these nobles' property amounted to over 60 billion taels, accumulated over generations.

They are truly fat pigs.

The daimyo was scared to death just now, and now his eyes were greedy. This group did so many bad things, almost causing Konoha and the Fire Nation to fall out. They must be severely punished!

They are greedy for my money!

"Hokage-sama has really considered carefully. Let's settle this."

"Your Highness is wise and brave. Let's split the account 30% to 70%?"

"No problem."

The daimyo nodded, agreeing to the spoils' share. He had just received over 100 billion taels a few months ago, and now it's several hundred billion taels. He's truly lucky recently.

"Since the daimyo has agreed, don't forget Konoha's 70% share when the time comes."

"What?!"

"70% to Konoha?"

"Your Highness, Konoha is the victim this time. It was framed by corrupt officials and has now stepped back. Your Highness can't just ignore psychological compensation."

Nara Shikato's face darkened instantly, looking at the daimyo with a gloomy expression, causing the daimyo's words to stick in his throat.

If he continued to argue now, the daimyo feared Konoha and the Land of Fire would fall out. 30% is 30%. With these crimes, there's a long way to go before the pig is slaughtered.

"Just follow the Hokage's wishes."

The daimyo wiped the sweat from his head and replied with a smile.

Nara Shikato smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

Konoha profited again this time!
