Chapter 290 Calling a deer a horse
The hall was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Even Kasumi Ohji Ryuze, who had previously been talkative and treated the Hokage as a sister, was now silent.

“how?”

“Your Excellency, don’t even want to look at it?”

The Hokage’s emerald eyes revealed a hint of teasing as he looked at Kasumi Daji Longze.

“Sister…what gift do you want to give to me?”

Xiadalu Longze swallowed his saliva, and his words unconsciously revealed his fear of the person in front of him.

“I am just a common man, I don’t understand the music, chess, calligraphy and painting of the nobles.”

“But I also know that you nobles also have an interest in riding and shooting.”

“Ms. Long Ze and I hit it off right away. I like her very much.”

“I recently got a good horse. This horse can travel a thousand miles a day. It is a rare horse. I would like to give it to Miss Longze. I hope Miss Longze will accept it.”

Hearing the Hokage’s words, Kasumi Ohji Ryuze breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out it was just a gift horse…

“Then I would like to thank you, sister.”

“Sister, you have such good intentions. I am looking forward to it.”

Hearing what Kasumigaoji Ryuzawa said, the Hokage clapped his hands lightly, and then spoke to the outside of the palace:

“Come here, bring my thousand-mile horse here.”

Then, as the Hokage finished speaking, a man with a pineapple head walked into the hall leading a small sika deer.

The little deer had lively eyes and looked at everyone in the hall curiously.

However, when everyone in the hall looked at this scene, the expressions that had just relaxed slightly froze on their faces again.

“Everyone, what do you think of this horse?”

The Hokage pointed at the ‘horse’ and looked at everyone with a slight smile on his face.

“Hokage-sama, you are blind. This is a deer, not a horse.”

Someone among the nobles spoke up to remind them.

Two or three nobles then echoed and said that it was a deer, not a horse.

“Eh?”

“No, this is a horse.”

The Hokage shook his head, then looked at the noble girl, his emerald eyes full of inquiry, and said:

“Ms. Longze, tell me, is this a deer or a horse?”

Faced with the words of the Hokage, Kasumigaoji Ryuze looked grim.

Calling a deer a horse, not distinguishing right from wrong.

The Hokage’s meaning was obvious.

She said it was a horse, so it was a horse.

The heart of the Hokage is already known to everyone.

“This… is a really good horse.”

Xia Dalu Longze bit his teeth lightly and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

“Sure enough, Miss Longze has a keen eye for discovery. My efforts are worth it.”

“In that case, why don’t you try riding it, Miss Longze?”

The Hokage’s eyes were now filled with that outrageous and evil smile, which made Kasumi Ooji Ryuzawa’s hands and feet go cold.

Putting aside whether this is a horse or not, what is the occasion?
How dare the Fire Nation Daimyo act so rashly in front of you!

And how big is this fawn?

Let her ride on it?
What a joke!

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoji Ryuze looked at Minamoto Musashi who was sitting in the main seat with a look for help.

This is her future husband.

“Um, Hokage-sama, this deer… no, this horse is probably too small…”

“Longze…”

Minamoto Musashi looked at the beautiful girl asking him for help and couldn’t help but tremble in his heart. He gritted his teeth and tried to speak.

“Ah, Your Highness, you worry too much.”

“How can such a good horse be without an owner?”

“Now is the time for Miss Longze to subdue him.”

The Hokage waved his hand, interrupting Minamoto Musashi’s words.

At this time, Kasumigaoji Ryuze clenched his fists tightly, staring at the calm and composed Hokage.

She is teasing herself!

Looking at the girl who was shaking with anger, the Hokage showed a look of regret on his face, then he picked up a piece of snack from the table and placed it in his palm. Seeing this, the little deer walked towards the Hokage with its hooves in front of everyone’s eyes.

The deer lowered its head and ate the snacks in the Hokage’s palm. Finally, it stretched out its tongue and licked the Hokage’s palm with satisfaction.

The Hokage reached out and stroked the deer’s head, and said with a look of regret:
“Horse, oh horse, it seems that none of the nobles present here know you.”

“In that case, it would be better to let you return to the forest to prevent you from falling into the hands of those who don’t know the value of the goods.”

“After all, there are many good horses, but few good horse trainers.”

Then, the Hokage, not caring whether the nobles present knew who Bole was, let the Nara clan member lead the deer away.

Watching the Nara clan member leave, the Hokage stood up and looked at the nobles present with a look of regret and said:
“You nobles do not know horses.”

“It seems that you and I are not of the same kind.”

“In that case, then take care of yourself.”

The mist and rain fell, and the nobles present strode out of the hall with pale faces.

The beautiful Anbu who had always been inseparable from the Hokage also picked up the ninja sword that seemed to have been forgotten on the table by the Hokage and followed him.

What does the Hokage’s last sentence mean?
Not all the way.

They knew exactly what this meant.

You know, there is a big shot from the Fire Nation in the hall right now.

Saying this kind of thing in such an occasion…

Naruto, think about the rebellion!
“She, she, why doesn’t she kill us?”

The noble from the Thunder Country spoke with some trembling.

In front of him, there was a head with its eyes open, lying there quietly.

“Because killing him is useless.”

“In the eyes of this Hokage, we are like ants.”

“It’s up to her to decide whether to kill or not, and our reaction just now has already pleased His Highness the Hokage.”

“So, she didn’t do it.”

After a moment of panic, Xiada Lu Longze quickly calmed down.

“Not only that, I think this Hokage is ready to go to war with the entire ninja world.”

“And people like us are no longer useful to her.”

At this point, Kasumida Road Ryūze looked at Minamoto Musashi who was sitting on the main seat. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he quickly hid it and spoke in a gentle voice:
“I hope Your Highness Daimyo will bear the humiliation and within three months, the Land of Fire will be yours again.”

“Your Highness, please be patient during this period.”

Kasumigaoji Ryuze’s words did not comfort Minamoto Musashi, but instead made him a little depressed.

He had seen with his own eyes how the Hokage subdued the Seven-Tails.

In his opinion, the Seven-Tails was already an irresistible natural disaster, and this natural disaster was like a plaything in the hands of the Hokage.

What’s more, the Hokage has subdued more than one tailed beast. The two-tailed and three-tailed beasts were all defeated by the Hokage.

There is also the strongest Nine-Tails in Konoha.

Minamoto Musashi felt that these people in front of him were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and were overestimating their own abilities.

Instead of struggling for death, it is better to stay contented and law-abiding. Who knows, you may still be able to survive in the end.

Seeing that Minamoto Musashi, her future husband, was so useless, Kasumigaoji Ryuzawa immediately showed an angry look and said:
“Your Highness, do you remember the Daimyo’s capital back then? Could it be that you just sat there and watched the Hokage seize your ancestors’ thousand-year-old foundation?”

However, these words did not impress Minamoto Musashi. He just glanced at the guards at the entrance of the hall without showing any expression, and then glanced at the group of so-called nobles in front of him.

Minamoto Musashi thought that the group of people in front of him were all idiots. Their lives and property were in the hands of the Hokage, yet they spoke so brazenly.

“I am so happy here that I don’t miss the capital.”

After saying this, he turned and left, ignoring the nobles who looked astonished.

This guy……

Xia Dalu Longze clenched his teeth in anger when he saw this.

Her future husband turned out to be such a coward?
Her thoughts were the opposite of Minamoto Musashi’s. Since the Hokage had not chosen to take action before, could they make a comeback after just a few words?

That would be too embarrassing.

“let’s go.”

After leaving these words, Kasumi Ohji Ryuzawa ignored the ninjas guarding the entrance of the palace and walked away.

When everyone saw that the ninja at the door had not yet stopped them, they all left this place of trouble.

At this moment, the Hokage was on his way back to the Hokage Building.

Having sent away those nobles who had successfully pleased him, it was time to do some serious work.

When those nobles return to their country, they will surely cause a huge wave, and then Konoha Village will have to use its own strength to resist the attack of the entire ninja world.

Sakura is confident that she can block it.

The main thing is Xiao.

Now that Uchiha Obito and Nagato have been defeated one after another, if they still want to get their hands on the tailed beasts, they will definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Hokage intends to form a special team led by Kakashi Might Guy to resist the Akatsuki organization in the upcoming war.

After carefully counting the current number of people in Konoha, the Hokage showed a hint of regret on his face.

Even though Konoha’s strength is now far greater than in the previous four Ninja World Wars, it still seems a little stretched.

If a war breaks out and we are unable to win quickly, we will most likely be dragged into the quagmire.

With this in mind, Sasuke’s position becomes even more important.

However, the battlefield is unpredictable and even the Hokage himself cannot fully control it. Everything must be judged according to the situation at the time.

“Hokage-sama, there is someone ahead.”

The Nara clan member who returned with the Hokage spoke up.

The Hokage looked up and found that he had arrived at a maple forest.

The entire forest was filled with fiery red maple leaves. The Hokage wasn’t sure what kind of maple tree this was, as it was still bright red even in summer.

At this moment, there was a man sitting in the forest, with black hair tied behind his head, wearing a black and white warrior uniform and sitting cross-legged on the ground.

There was an antique samurai sword placed on his legs, and his pair of dark eyes were extremely bright at this moment.

“Himurasaki, what do you mean?”

The Hokage spoke calmly as he looked at the uncharacteristically noble Himura.

“Your Highness the Hokage is trying to commit treason, so I have come to help Your Highness the Daimyo eliminate this evil.”

The man was no longer respectful as before, and now his pair of dark eyes were looking at the pink Hokage very brightly.

In the maple forest, the breeze blows gently, and countless red maple leaves rustle.

The man slowly stood up and drew out the sword that the daimyo had bestowed upon the Himura family three hundred years ago. The sharp cold light was particularly eye-catching in the maple forest.

“How dare an incompetent person attempt to assassinate the Hokage?”

Seeing this, Uzuki Yugao who was behind the Hokage stepped forward and stood in front of the Hokage.

“Are you asking for death?”

The Hokage paid no attention to what Uzuki Yugao said, and spoke calmly.

Now that she has already torn her relationship with the so-called nobles, this Himura actually took the initiative to stand in front of her. What else could this be but seeking death?
“No, the Himura family has enjoyed the favor of the Daimyo for hundreds of years.”

“Now that my name has been insulted, as a subject I must fight to the death.”

“To repay the great name and heaven’s grace.”

Himura held the knife in both hands, said no more words, and walked towards Uzuki Yugao who was blocking the Hokage.

The ending is destined.

Himura was just a retainer of the daimyo. He handled various affairs for the daimyo on weekdays and had no time to practice at all.

Even if he practiced, he could not be a match for Mao Yue Xi Yan.

After all, Uzuki Yugao is a ninja.

Ninja means absolute force.

The moment Himura and Uzuki Yugao fought, the sword bestowed by the daimyo three hundred years ago in Himura’s hand was broken, and his blood made the maple leaves on the ground even more red.

Looking at the fallen man, the Hokage sighed softly:
“Pity.”

Not all nobles are useless. Although Himura’s fighting power is not good, his ability to handle the people’s livelihood is extremely qualified, and it can even be said that there is no fault at all.

This was also the reason why the Hokage allowed him to dance in front of him for so long.

After all, during the period when the daimyo moved the capital to Konoha, many things in the Land of Fire were handled by Himura.

“Buried on the spot.”

After saying this, the Hokage disappeared into the maple forest.

At this moment, the nobles gathered in Konoha have returned to their own countries and spread the news of the Hokage’s rebellion.

For a moment, the ninja world was shaken.

I thought the story about the Hokage assassinating the Daimyo was just a rumor.

Now it seems that it is not the so-called rumor.

But it is the first step of the Hokage’s rebellion.

A mortal body, fame at a young age, outstanding military exploits, all of these represent that Hokage.

No one in the ninja world can do this.

But now, even though that Hokage has reached the position of Hokage that countless people dream of, he still seems unsatisfied.

She…want to be the ruler of the world!

At the first moment, the Land of Wind, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Water issued severe rebukes to the Hokage of Konoha from the Land of Fire, while the Iwagakure Village from the Land of Earth unilaterally and publicly severed its alliance with Konoha.

The Sand Village urgently stopped its military operations against the Rain Country, and immediately withdrew the troops that were crippled by Pain the moment the news was received. At the same time, the Mist Village in the Water Country took the same action, and the three thousand Mist Village troops withdrew directly from the Taki Country.

Not only that, the nobles of the entire ninja world publicly declared that if Konoha did not want to be attacked by the people of the world, it would immediately remove Haruno Sakura from the position of Hokage, cut off her head, and offer it as a sacrifice in front of the tomb of the previous Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Konoha only responded with two words.

Try it.

Like adding fuel to the fire, this move aroused the anger of all the princes and nobles in the world.

They have existed in the ninja world for thousands of years.

Trained ninjas from wolves to dogs.

Now a wolf cub has appeared among these dogs, and has become powerful. How can they not be angry? They wish they could cut the Fifth Hokage into pieces to relieve their hatred.

There was absolutely no unnecessary nonsense and the Ninja Alliance was formed almost instantly.

The Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, the Land of Thunder, the Land of Water, the Land of Taki, the Land of Snow, the Land of Fields, the Land of Rain, the Land of Bears, all the big and small countries in the entire ninja world were instantly twisted into a hemp rope and came from all directions to surround the Land of Fire.
