Faceless and expressionless, he looked at the Daimyo before him, a sense of disdain rising in his heart.
Indeed, each generation is worse than the last.
This so-called Daimyo was so foolish and incompetent, he was simply a joke.
But even if he had ability, it wouldn't matter.
Who made him too perfect?
It was still that saying: his only flaw was being too perfect.
"Alright," Mu said indifferently.
"From now on, you will just be an ordinary commoner. All your family's property, as well as the national treasury, will be confiscated and handed over to Iwagakure."
Hearing this, the Land of Earth Daimyo's face instantly turned pale. He widened his eyes, looking at Mu with a terrified expression.
"Grandpa Mu, you have to leave me something, right?" he pleaded with a tearful face.
"I can't do any work, how am I supposed to make a living?"
Mu looked at the Daimyo's ancient divine body, shaking his head unmoved.
"That's enough, don't be too greedy. If it's really not possible, you can go find a job at the explosive tag factory and support yourself."
The Land of Earth Daimyo cried even harder upon hearing this. He wailed, snot and tears streaming down his face, "Grandpa Mu, I really can't do it! I've never done any work. Aren't you trying to kill me?"
As he spoke, he patted the fat on his body.
However, Mu was completely indifferent to his pleas.
He would not give any special treatment to these remnants of the old regime; he would let them fend for themselves.
"Wuwuwu, Grandpa Mu, you are my elder. Please, I beg you, show me a clear path!" The Land of Earth Daimyo cried, hugging Mu's leg.
Mu's expression was hard to maintain.
Since this guy was sincerely asking, he would mercifully show him a path.
"I'll show you a clear path!"
"Soon, our Iwagakure will launch a short video software. When it comes out, film a few mukbangs. With your big appetite, you'll definitely become incredibly popular."
"At the very least, if you hold a game console and shout 'Tsuchikage Ninja Activate' in a video, you'll definitely go viral."
Mu gave the Daimyo a guiding hand, like an immortal pointing the way!
"Don't you agree, Kakuzu?" Mu looked at Kakuzu, who was standing beside him.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Kakuzu nodded repeatedly from the side, listening.
"After you start streaming, you'll earn at least 100,000 a month!"
"I speak the truth. If it's less than 100,000, go find Kakuzu, and Kakuzu will make up the difference for you!" Mu looked at Kakuzu.
Kakuzu: "I have no objections."
In reality, Kakuzu thought to himself:
After Mu leaves, if this Daimyo dares to come to me for compensation, I'll just give him a slap.
Kakuzu: I'll compensate you with nothing! I won't even compensate you with nothing, I speak the truth!
After arranging the Daimyo's affairs, it was time for the property handling segment that Kakuzu most wanted to know about.
"Kakuzu, the property of the Daimyo and those nobles will be handled by you and Ōnoki." Mu said directly.
Kakuzu forced a smile and nodded.
"I'm leaving. I'm going back to Konoha."
Mu thought about the pile of things he still had to do in Konoha and prepared to return immediately to deal with the Land of Fire Daimyo.
"You're going back so soon?"
"Aren't you going to visit the Village?" Kakuzu looked at Mu with a somewhat complex expression.
He had come all the way to the Land of Earth, wasn't he going to visit Iwagakure?
"No, there's still a ton of things to do." Mu smiled faintly and said.
"Aren't you coming back to the mountains with me?" Kakuzu asked with a faint smile.
(Note: Iwagakure Village is built in the mountains)
"Kakuzu, now that you're familiar with me, you're starting to joke with me, aren't you?"
"Don't get smart with me, Kakuzu." Mu smiled faintly.
This Kakuzu fellow, when they weren't familiar, he was respectful.
Now that they were familiar, Kakuzu would start joking with him for no reason.
But it didn't matter, after all, they were old comrades.
Joking around was fine.
"Let's go." Then Mu left using the Flying Thunder God.
Returning to Konoha Village.
Mu arrived at the room where the Land of Fire Daimyo was imprisoned.
Originally, this guy should have been escorted to Iwagakure, but Mu stopped it and had him sent directly to Konoha Village for detention.
"Hokage-sama!" Two ANBU of Konoha saluted Mu.
Mu looked at the two ANBU of Konoha saluting him, feeling a bit strange.
Iwagakure called him Tsuchikage, Konoha called him Hokage.
"You've worked hard..." Mu said casually and walked straight in.
Soon after he entered, a figure flashed over like a ghost.
It was the Land of Fire Daimyo!
"Mu! Die!" The Land of Fire Daimyo swept Mu's legs directly!
However, how could Mu be ambushed by a mortal?
"My goodness, the Daimyo's first leg sweep!" Mu was somewhat speechless.
You could have bitten me or hit me.
But you just had to sweep my legs.
Mu's large hand directly grabbed the Daimyo's neck, then lifted him up.
"Daimyo, since you are so willing to die, then I shall grant your wish!" Mu immediately stabbed a kunai through the Land of Fire Daimyo's chest.
He stabbed the Land of Fire Daimyo to death in this dark prison cell.
...
Just as Mu, Kakuzu, and Hōzuki Gengetsu were busy,
Ōnoki, the current Tsuchikage, was not idle either.
He was preparing to cooperate with his teacher's policy and attack the Land of Wind.
This was to prepare for the future unification of the Ninja World!
"We must not surrender! We must resist to the end!"
"Beware of the surrender faction!"
At this time, the leaders of Hidden Sand Village were Chiyo and Ebizo.
Both of them were quite hardline, believing they could use the Land of Wind's geographical advantage to fight Iwagakure.
Both of them were subordinates of the Second Kazekage.
They were unwilling to hand over the Village.
Ōnoki initially wanted to use his teacher's methods, invading Hidden Sand Village with the ideology of surrender.
There was a surrender faction in Hidden Sand Village.
That was Shamon's son, Shasō.
Because ever since Shamon died, Mu had taken good care of Shamon's son, and the two had been in contact.
But,
Chiyo and Ebizo had already realized Konoha's fate.
They resolutely placed Shasō under house arrest.
To avoid a situation like Sarutobi Shinnosuke's.
Ōnoki finally decided it wouldn't work, so he began to order Iwagakure Ninja to attack the Land of Wind.
Ōnoki personally led the invasion of the Land of Wind.
He led the Iwagakure Ninja all the way through the Land of Wind, reaching the gates of Hidden Sand Village.
It was only then that Chiyo and Ebizo realized the danger.
It seemed somewhat impossible to wear down Iwagakure by relying on geographical advantages.
So, the two of them rushed to find Shasō.
They wanted Shasō to intercede and grant Hidden Sand Village similar preferential treatment to Konoha.
"Shasō, your relationship with Mu is quite good, so please go and speak to him!" Chiyo persuaded.
"Our previous decision was a mistake, but there's still a chance to remedy it now, and it all depends on you!" Ebizo also pleaded bitterly.
Shasō's expression was strained as he looked at the two.
"You thought of me? You thought of me?" (In the tone of Yaoshuige)
Shasō stared at the two with wide eyes.
Chiyo, Ebizo: "...."
"You thought of me? Didn't you?"
Chiyo: "Yes!"
"Too late!!!"
...
After some persuasion,
Shasō still bit the bullet and went.
Because this was the Village his father had personally created.
How could he bear to see it ravaged?
