The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 114 The Struggle for the Daimyo Position in the Land of Water

Yagura staged another coup... News of Kirigakure's occupation of the Land of Water quickly reached Konoha!

An emergency meeting is being held inside the Hokage Building's conference room!

Uchiha Mitsuru stood at the end of the long table, the map of the Land of Water behind him covered with dense markings.

The clan leaders of various clans, including Nara Shikaku, Hyuga Hiashi, and Akimichi Choza, gathered together, each with a different expression.

Uchiha Mitsunori tapped his fingers lightly on the table, the rhythm steady and powerful.

His expression remained as confident as ever: "Aren't you all curious about the backup plan I mentioned earlier?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the entire conference room.

Elder Advisor Hyuga Hiashi said eagerly, "Advisor Mitsumine, stop beating around the bush and just tell me!"

Uchiha Mitsunori raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took out a scroll of gold-embossed document from his sleeve, and slowly unfurled it!

The appointment letter, personally signed by the Daimyo of the Land of Water:

"The Uchiha Three Peaks are hereby granted the title of Earl of the Land of Water, with the fief of the island of Yizhou."

Nara Shikaku's gaze swept quickly across the document, and he keenly noticed a detail: "This appointment date... is the day before the coup?"

Uchiha Mitsunori calmly stated, "The daimyo and numerous nobles of the Land of Water have been massacred by Yagura Karatachi. Now, the Land of Water is embroiled in internal strife, which presents our opportunity."

Nara Shikaku's eyes flickered slightly: "Lord Mitsumine, you mean...?"

Uchiha Mitsunori activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and an invisible pressure enveloped the entire area.

"I intend to use this count's status to contend for the position of Daimyo of the Land of Water. Then, I will relocate Konoha Village to the Land of Water and gather some of the ninja clans there to strengthen our power."

The meeting room was deathly silent; the only sound was the rapid breathing of the people inside.

No one expected that the Uchiha Sanfeng would be so bold as to want to compete for the position of Daimyo of the Land of Water.

No wonder he refused to reveal what his backup plan was during the previous meeting!

Publicity Minister Kazami Tomohiko looked excited; he had been optimistic about the Uchiha Mitsurugi ever since the Third Shinobi World War.

I think this person is incredibly bold and has extremely far-reaching plans.

"Advisor Mitsumine, please continue explaining your plan!" Kazami Tomohiko's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Uchiha Mitsunori lightly tapped the coastline on the map with his finger: "The Land of Fire is a land of constant warfare, with large and small battles going on all the time... while the Land of Water is surrounded by the sea, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack... and it is also remote enough... suitable for us to recuperate and rebuild our lives."

Hiashi Hyuga's expression was unpredictable; the Hyuga family's assets were all in the Land of Fire.

Now, to move all of this to the Land of Water is undoubtedly a difficult decision.

His voice carried a clear sense of resentment: "Moving everything to the Land of Water means giving up a lot of benefits, doesn't it?"

The people in the conference room shared similar concerns and began to whisper among themselves.

Kazami Tomohiko stood up and said, "Is life more important, or money? I support Advisor Mitsumine's decision. Our Kazami family is willing to move to the Land of Water!"

The Kurama clan chief also stood up and said, "I also support Advisor Mikado's decision, and my Kurama clan is willing to move to the Land of Water!"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and said, "In my capacity as the Fifth Hokage, I agree to move Konoha to the Land of Water! The entire Senju clan will also relocate to the Land of Water!"

Nara Shikaku was highly intelligent, and he foresaw the subsequent changes in the situation.

Once Konoha moves to the Land of Water, the power of the Land of Fire will rapidly weaken.

The Land of Fire will then be mired in war... and staying in the Land of Fire will mean certain death.

Nara Shikaku slowly raised his right hand and said firmly, "We, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, are also willing to move to the Land of Water."

Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of doubt. They clearly hadn't expected Shikaku to make such a decision. Despite their lingering doubts, they believed Shikaku must have his reasons.

Nara Shikaku's statement caused a small commotion in the crowd.

Those Jonin who were still hesitant gradually dispelled their concerns after seeing Nara Shikaku's decisive statement.

As time went on, more and more Jonin expressed their willingness to go to the Land of Water, fearing that they would be left behind.

Uchiha Mitsunori placed his hands on the table: "Very good. My plan is to take 2000 elite ninjas to the Land of Water first to wipe out Yagura's forces, and at the same time win over ninja clans willing to submit. After the situation is stabilized, we will carry out the relocation of all Konoha ninjas."

Nara Shikaku added, "There should be over 3700 ninja in Kirigakure right now... We have 2000 men deep in enemy territory. What if someone takes advantage of this situation and attacks Konoha...?"

Uchiha Sanfeng's gaze swept over the crowd, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth: "It's alright. Leave Tsunade and Minato Namikaze in Konoha. If they dare to come, then let them see the strength of Konoha."

Tsunade also stood up, looked at everyone, and said, "Even if you go to the Land of Water, Konoha Village still has more than 4600 ninjas, so you don't need to worry about safety."

Then, Uchiha Mitsunori walked to the map and traced his finger along the coastline of the Land of Water.

"The 2000 elite ninjas I lead require members to be at least Chunin or Jonin level."

"1000 members of the Uchiha clan"

"The Hyuga Clan of 300"

"50 people each from Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi"

"Medical corps of 200 people"

"The rest are mixed units from various families."

As the plan was finalized, the atmosphere in the meeting room gradually shifted from shock to determination.

One by one, the tribal chiefs stood up to show their support.

Uchiha Mitsunaga surveyed the crowd: "Meeting adjourned. Within half an hour, everyone must submit their list of participants. We will depart in one hour; time is of the essence!"

The people in the conference room immediately got to work.

Uchiha Mitsunori walked up to Namikaze Minato and put his hand on his shoulder.

With a smile, he said, "Minato... take me to see Kushina... I need her help!"

Minato Namikaze asked warily, "Tell me first, what do you want with her?"

Uchiha Mitsunori said gently, "It's nothing. I plan to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport 2000 elite ninjas to the Land of Water. However, I don't have enough chakra, so I'd like to borrow some from Kurama!"

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, even if he didn't agree.

Uchiha Mitsunori would also forcibly seek out the Nine-Tails inside Kushina's belly to borrow chakra, so he had no choice but to agree: "Alright... I'll take you there!"

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

The two figures suddenly disappeared and then appeared in Minato Namikaze's house!
