The twenty-seventh year of Konoha, June 23rd. On this day, Meiji, the daimyo of the Land of Fire, left this world forever.

"Father...... all kinds of words flowed from his heart, and he felt the pressure on his back and said lightly.

Human death is a slow process, and before people really die, they are still conscious, and they can hear some voices outside.

Ai knows that her "father" must be heard by Meiji. As for why he did this, love thinks that this should be considered satisfaction! Satisfy his regrets.

The news of the death of the Daimyo, love did not hide. That night, news of the fall of the Daimyo spread to the corners of the Fire Country.

The next day, whatever procedure should be followed, the procedure will be followed. Because of the things and personnel for the funeral, the official has long been prepared. Therefore, the speed of Meiji burial is very fast.

The death of the king of a country, or the death of the king of the most powerful country in the world, the news has not only spread throughout the country of fire, but even neighboring countries, and people have come to mourn.

Of course, people who are extremely concerned about the death of a daimyo are obviously more concerned about the candidates for a new daimyo than a dead person.

The candidate for the new daimyo is love.

When Meiji was still moving, he prepared a testament in advance. Before, this edict has been placed with the guardian ninja.

Now, with the death of the Daimyo, the guardian shinobu also took out the edict according to the agreement.

Love is the new daimyo appointed by the Meiji era, and the news spreads outward with a power that is even more powerful than the death of the daimyo.

During these three years in power, the economy of the Fire Nation has been improving in an orderly manner, and Ai has proven her ability with her political achievements. Now, the edict of the daimyo has added another legitimacy to love.

It is well deserved, love should be a great name. In the eyes of the people of the Fire Nation, the one who can bring them benefits is the good daimyo.

Of course, most of the commoners thought so, but not the great nobles. As the ruling class of a country, most of the nobles of the three levels of princes and uncles have some opinions about love.

The nobility hired ninjas to use the power of money to manipulate the violence of this world. The aristocracy was now able to do so with impunity, mainly because of the ninja power.

Ninja Restriction Act!

Over the course of three years, love passed force and forcibly enforced a bill. The content of this bill deprives ninjas of the legal right to appear in Kyoto.

That is, there is no loving consent. Now, it is illegal for any ninja to appear in Kyoto.

Originally, the nobles' personal ninja arming was legal. So, they can do something unscrupulously. However, not anymore. In general, the nobility in Kyoto could no longer have such armament.

Of course, at the beginning of the implementation of the law, this law was not heeded by many nobles. It wasn't until Ai exterminated a group of ninjas, killed a group of counts, and confiscated a number of properties that the great nobles became honest.

At that time, the daimyo was not dead, and the nobles did not have the guts to rebel. Therefore, the implementation of the bill is very thorough.

However, the root of the problem is not solved, and the conflict is bound to recur.

Before, for the great nobles of the Fire Country, love did not go under the knife. After all, these great aristocrats hold the economic lifeblood of a country. Killing one or two people will not solve the problem of the aristocracy controlling the economic lifeblood of the country. If they are all killed, the country will be in chaos again.

But, now love can. After three years of preparation, she had enough administrators who could replace the great nobles.

Seven days after the death of the Daimyo, Ai was preparing for the succession while revealing the news of the nationalization of land resources.

Then, as if a hornet's nest had been stabbed, the entire circle of the upper nobility opposed it as if it were crazy. Of course, love was outright denied at the time.

Although, after that the situation was calmed down. But beneath the calm surface of the water lies an eerie and unpredictable vortex, and a reactionary force is gathering.

Previously, the ninjas in Kyoto were expelled from the capital, and Kyoto was also under the all-day surveillance of the guardian ninja.

At that time, restricting ninjas had nothing to do with their interests. After all, the nobles have the power of the samurai, and when they are isolated from the interference of the ninjas, it doesn't matter whether there are ninjas or not, the samurai can contract the safety of the nobles.

So, despite the implementation of the Ninja Restriction Act, there are almost no people who desperately oppose it.

The nationalization of land resources is different, let's take the forestry company that loves it.

Originally, love to collect forestry resources only requires labor. The cost of raw materials? Why ask yourself to buy something for yourself?

However, if the land resources are nationalized, then the forestry resources are charged. For example, when you cut down a piece of wood, you have to pay not only the labor cost of cutting the wood, but also the material cost of the wood.

If the nationalization of land resources is successful, what will be the consequences? The annual income and profits of these conglomerates, which control the country's resources, will instantly shrink to less than 10% of what they used to be.

What a terrifying thing this is, just thinking about it can make the great nobles gnash their teeth.

……

"Are you ready?"

In an underground secret room in Kyoto, sixteen men in gorgeous clothes sat in a circle around a huge round table. The one who had just spoken was one of the sixteen.

"Yunyin Village accepted the commission ......"

"Wuyin Village is no problem......

"Iwain Village is ready!"

"The village of Sand Hidden received ......"

"Good!" In the dimly lit underground chamber, the man sitting at the head of the round table said, "Except for Konoha, the other four large villages have accepted our mission. ”

"En Shi-kun, there's something I don't understand...... "Why do you want to exclude Konoha from it?" The woman called Ai Uchiha, since she was excluded by Konoha, her relationship with Konoha must not be very good......"

"How naïve!" Before Enshi could refute, another marquis said, "That woman! Her background is amazing. If Konoha had been notified, we would all have died. ”

"How?" Some aristocrats didn't know why.

"That woman was the Minister of Education of Konoha, and now the younger generation of Konoha has a teacher-student relationship with her. Although the literacy of the Konoha ninja is good, it should not be leaked. However, you still have to be careful! ”

"Seriously, I'm also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade!" At this time, Maruichi said with a smile. "Uchiha's talent for love is obvious to all. Whether it is talent or appearance, she has not insulted the name of the Uchiha. It's a pity that she shouldn't covet what doesn't belong to her! ”

"On the day of the succession ceremony, will the ninja who accepted the commission be able to come to the scene?" Maruichi asked.

"No problem!" Everyone said in unison.

"Excellent! Just wait for that day......" In the dim underground, the voice of Madoshi came faintly.
