After Konoha made two announcements in a row, the entire ninja world thought that the result of this political change in the Fire Country had been decided, and they were just waiting for a new daimyo to succeed to the throne.

But no one expected that on the day of the succession ceremony, there would be a huge change in the Fire Country again!

In order to ensure the sacredness of this succession, not only did the high-level leaders of the Fire Nation and Konoha all gather to participate in this ceremony, but the Fire Nation also invited the allies to send a mission to witness it!

Originally, this kind of succession ceremony within the Fire Country, it was inconvenient for foreign countries to participate, but this time the abolition of the daimyo was the first case in the entire ninja world, and in order to obtain official recognition from the mainstream of the ninja world, Konoha made an exception to invite the missions of various countries. At the same time, it is also to highlight the influence of Konoha!

The result was unexpectedly good, in addition to the countries and ninja villages in the Konoha Alliance, even the four major powers and the three major ninja villages that were forced to sign an alliance with Konoha in the last war were very face-saving to send missions to the Fire Country to participate in this succession ceremony!

Konoha and the Land of Fire are in full swing in the ninja world, and they are recognized as the first ninja village and powerhouse, and although there is no precedent for this ceremony, it is completely in line with the law, and there is no need for all forces to offend each other because of this matter, so both the daimyo governments and the ninja village of various countries gladly accepted the invitation.

Of course, except for Konoha's hardcore allies, none of the missions that came to watch the ceremony were the heads of the countries, and now that the war had just subsided, none of the countries wanted to make trouble. But even so, Konoha and the high-level leaders of the Fire Nation were very satisfied.

The last time Konoha was able to gather so many countries to participate in the event was in the heyday after the first Hokage pacified the Warring States, and the current pomp and circumstance shows that Konoha has risen again.

In addition, since the abolition was decided by the Hokage and the Shogun together, the succession ceremony was also presided over by the two of them, with Sarufei as the main rope tree as the secondary.

On this morning, the high-ranking dignitaries of the Fire Nation and Konoha as well as the envoys of various countries gathered in a square in the national capital, waiting for the ceremony to officially begin.

At the same time, the team responsible for welcoming the daimyo and the prince had entered the court.

As the advisor in charge of Konoha foreign affairs, Koharu is not qualified to preside over the entire ceremony, but she is still in charge of this key part of the welcome.

Soon, Koharu led the welcoming convoy to the gate of a gorgeous palace, and said in a respectful tone: "The succession ceremony is about to begin, and I also ask the daimyo and the prince to move!" ”

Then everyone bowed their heads and waited for the two to leave the palace, but there was silence in the palace and there was no response.

After a long time, Koharu frowned and urged again: "Please also ask the daimyo to move, the missions of various countries are still waiting to watch the ceremony, if you miss the auspicious time, it will not be good!" ”

After waiting for a long time again, there was still no response in the palace, and Koharu had to say coldly: "If the daimyo is unwilling to open the door, then we will have to break in!" Please forgive me! ”

After Xiao Chun finished speaking, he approached the palace and went directly to the palace gate, for a shadow-level powerhouse, this kind of ordinary gate did not have the slightest obstruction at all. "Boom!" The huge high door was slammed open.

A bloody air flow spread outside the palace, and Koharu, who bore the brunt of the smell, immediately changed his face after asking about this smell, and after snorting badly, he quickly ran into the gate, and the team behind him followed.

When everyone poured into the main hall, they saw a large number of palace people's corpses lying on the ground in a disorderly manner, and hurriedly ran to the deeper dormitory, and finally saw that the daimyo and the prince who was less than three years old were also lying in a pool of blood.

"Daimyo! Shizi! Koharu shouted as he stepped forward to check on the two of them.

At this time, a nobleman of the Fire Country, who was following behind, asked anxiously, "How are the daimyo and the prince?" Is there any salvation?"

Koharu shook his head solemnly and said, "The pulse has stopped!" ”

Seeing that both of them were dead, the people in charge of welcoming them were all flustered, and the nobles in the team said anxiously: "Dead?"

"What can I do?"

"The general and the missions of various countries are waiting!"

"It's over, it's over! It's all over this time! ”

……

These nobles in the escort team are all high-level officials who have taken refuge in the rope tree, and originally thought that this was an easy task, not only to show loyalty to the rope tree but also to show their faces in front of the embassies of various countries, but they all panicked for a while.

Xiaochun stood up from the ground at this time and scolded with a serious face: "What a panic!" We're just in charge! The safety of the daimyo and the prince has always been the responsibility of the root of the group! He should know more about this than we do! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! This should be the responsibility of the roots! Go find Danzo-sama! Several nobles immediately chimed in and asked their men to go to Tuanzang, apparently preparing to throw the pot on each other's heads.

Soon Tuan Zang led the root into the palace, and before he could speak, Koharu preemptively asked, "Tuan Zang, what is going on?" Why did the daimyo and the prince die here? What the hell are you doing with the roots?"

Tuan Zang looked at the two corpses on the ground, his eyes flashed, and then he said with a serious face: "Last night, the daimyo came to me and said that he wanted to gradually become a family before the succession.

With a moment of pity in my heart, I agreed to his request, and let them be together in the palace for one night, and at the same time ordered the root to guard outside the palace and not disturb them at will!

But I didn't expect it to ......

Alas! The Daimyo's temperament is too strong! ”

Tuan Zang sighed with a regretful face, and the nobles present looked at each other with suspicious faces.

"Danzo-sama means...... Didn't the daimyo and the prince be assassinated?" A young nobleman asked tentatively.

"Not bad!" Tuan Zang pointed to the two corpses on the ground with a serious face and said, "You see, the cause of Shizi's death was that he was killed by a sharp blade cutting his throat. And the big picture is that he died by cutting his abdomen with a short knife in his hand.

Moreover, the defense of the root cannot allow people to sneak into the temple silently and assassinate.

So according to my deduce, the daimyo killed the prince and the other palace people with his own hands last night, and finally committed suicide by seppuku! ”

"This ......"

The nobles present all showed hesitation, Tuan Zang's statement seemed to be reasonable, but it was very awkward, why did the good daimyo kill his family and commit suicide? And why didn't the roots, who were responsible for guarding, stop it in time?

Tuan Zang looked at everyone's reaction and said with a gloomy face: "What? Do you think I'm wrong? You were the first to find out about the scene, and the palace door was locked! If it is assassinated, everyone present is suspicious! ”

When the nobles present heard this, they hurriedly expressed their attitudes: "Lord Tuanzang is right! ”……
