I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

The Instantaneous Movement Technique is used.

Just as Naraku was about to continue teaching Kushina, a figure flew over from a distance and landed beside the two of them.

Naraku and Kushina both looked at the newcomer.

"My lord, the intelligence team has obtained important information: the daimyo of the Land of Fire has been assassinated." The visitor was Garuda, who respectfully bowed to Naraku and immediately reported the reason for her visit.

Naraku looked surprised: "The daimyo of the Land of Fire was assassinated?"

"Yes, sir. According to the intelligence team, the person who assassinated the daimyo of the Land of Fire is suspected to be the same person who carried out the looting in the Land of Fire back then," Garuro truthfully reported.

Upon hearing this, Naraku was even more surprised.

Did he know that the people who carried out the looting in the Land of Fire were Nagato and Obito Uchiha?

Why would these two suddenly go to assassinate the daimyo of the Land of Fire for no apparent reason?

Well, it's not impossible.

After all, hatred extends to everything connected to the house; both of them harbor resentment towards Konoha and might even seek revenge by assassinating the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, or even use this as an opportunity to reignite the war and drag Konoha back into the quagmire of conflict.

"Okay, I understand. Just pass on the order to the intelligence team to continue monitoring this matter." After a moment's thought, Naraku gave the order to Garuda.

Originally, the Third Shinobi World War seemed to be coming to an end because of the Fire Country Daimyo's offer of a sacrifice to sue for peace.

But now that the daimyo of the Land of Fire has been assassinated, the situation has clearly changed.

He needs to pay attention to future developments to see if they could lead to another war.

Konoha.

"The Daimyo has been dealt with. Remember to send over the materials I need as soon as possible." In the Hokage's office, Orochimaru said with a smile to Danzo across from him.

Danzo, satisfied with Orochimaru's competence, waved his hand and said, "No problem, I will send someone to deliver the materials you requested immediately."

"That's good!" Orochimaru chuckled, then turned and left without lingering.

After Orochimaru left, Danzo continued working on the documents in the office, pretending to be calm, but in reality, the contents of the documents did not attract his attention at all.

At this moment, he was completely tense and excited.

The right of the daimyo is a long-held belief in the ninja world.

Even the Hokage cannot bear the guilt of assassinating his own country's daimyo.

Therefore, Danzo chose assassination.

Even to ensure absolute safety and avoid exposing themselves.

He not only recruited Orochimaru by offering him benefits, but also specially arranged for Orochimaru to disguise himself as a thug who had robbed people in the country.

This doesn't mean that Danzo also discovered Nagato and Obito Uchiha's identities.

Rather, it was due to Nagato and Obito's previous acts of robbery, coupled with the fact that both of them wore masks to conceal their identities.

This made them the perfect targets for Danzo to frame.

For others, the title of "daimyo" is a taboo subject that is high above all else, but for Orochimaru, he is even more unconcerned than Danzo.

Therefore, after Danzo offered him sufficient benefits, he readily accepted the assassination attempt.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire naturally has a formidable bodyguard force around him.

But these guards were clearly no match for Orochimaru.

Ultimately, Orochimaru successfully assassinated the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"Once the daimyo dies, even if a new daimyo takes over immediately, the power transition will inevitably involve struggle." After calming down, Danzo couldn't help but sneer.

Just like the change of Hokage, the change of Daimyo is also inseparable from the struggle for power.

This meant that the newly appointed daimyo had no spare energy to pay attention to the ninja villages before consolidating power.

In other words, for the time being, he no longer needs to worry about the issue of his name.

Eyes twinkling.

Danzo was already thinking about how to deal with Tsunade and her group before things stabilized in Daimyo Prefecture.

"How could this happen? How could the daimyo be assassinated?"

"Where are the guardian ninja? How exactly are they protecting the daimyo?!"

"The assassins were extremely skilled; the guardian ninjas and the daimyo were all killed."

"Who exactly is the killer? Has anyone found out their background?"

"Yes, according to the descriptions of the survivors, the assassins were very similar to the thugs who plundered the country."

"Are you sure? Could it be someone deliberately impersonating someone?"

"what do you mean?"

"Don't forget, the Daimyo just recently expressed his support for Tsunade-sama to become the new Hokage, and now the Daimyo has been assassinated. I don't believe there's nothing wrong with that."

"Hmph, why be so cryptic? I think the assassins of the daimyo were actually from Danzo."

"Danzo, the Root of Konoha, is a master of assassination, and he is indeed a prime suspect."

"."

Inside the Senju clan's territory, the Konoha high-ranking officials gathered there discussed the matter with grim expressions.

The same applies to Tsunade, who sits in the first seat.

As soon as the war ended, Tsunade led her troops to withdraw from the border and return to the village.

She had already secured the daimyo's support and was about to launch an attack on Danzo, but unexpectedly, before she could even make her move, the daimyo was assassinated.

This unexpected situation undoubtedly disrupted her plans and caused her to lose an important force all at once.

"Has Danzo really gone mad? He actually dared to assassinate a daimyo?" Tsunade's face was very gloomy.

Like many others present, she also strongly suspected that the assassin of the daimyo was Danzo.

After all, since Danzo came to power, his actions have repeatedly exceeded her understanding, making her realize that Danzo has no bottom line at all.

The village's shadow sent men to assassinate the daimyo of their own country.

Such a thing is truly unimaginable for others.

But if it were Danzo, Tsunade would have every reason to believe that he really had the guts.

just

Doubt remains doubt.

Without concrete evidence, Tsunade knew she was powerless against Danzo.

"Now is not the time to argue. The most important thing is to contact the Daimyo Prefecture immediately. Once the new Daimyo is determined, we must obtain their support as soon as possible."

Tsunade composed herself and began making arrangements with the high-ranking officials who supported her.

Without the support of a daimyo, it would undoubtedly be more difficult for her to overthrow Danzo.

With the war now over and the pressure greatly reduced, Tsunade decided to proceed cautiously, first securing the support of the new daimyo before launching an attack on Danzo.

Chapter 231 First Phase of Expansion

Just like the Star Country's intelligence team was able to find out immediately that the Fire Country's daimyo had been assassinated.

The same applies to other countries.

When the daimyo of the Land of Fire died, the daimyo of all other countries reacted most strongly.

The daimyo of each country were all extremely nervous and hurriedly contacted their respective ninja villages to strengthen their guard.

For example, the daimyo of the Land of Water.

"Obito, are you controlling this guy to take revenge on Kirigakure?"

At night, an eerie silence descended upon the heavily guarded daimyo's mansion in the Land of Water.

Inside a room in the Daimyo's mansion, White Zetsu looked at the Daimyo of the Land of Water who was being controlled by genjutsu, and turned to Obito Uchiha next to him to ask curiously.

Obito Uchiha glanced at the other party and said indifferently, "Controlling him is only to continue the war."

He did indeed harbor thoughts of revenge against Kirigakure.

But more importantly, it was to resume the war that had been halted.

With White Zetsu as his excellent intelligence agent, he also learned about the assassination of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire immediately.

Most importantly, he also discovered that the assassin had impersonated him and Nagato.

He didn't take the daimyo of the Land of Fire seriously, but this frame-up made him very unhappy.

Similarly, based on the internal situation of Konoha, his first suspect in this case who framed him was Danzo.

Although there was no evidence, he was not a member of Konoha, so suspicion was enough to make him take action.

Now, his infiltration of the Land of Water and his taking control of the Land of Water's daimyo is his planned revenge.

Rin Nohara's death could be said to have fueled Obito Uchiha's hatred towards Konoha.
