Who would have thought that even with a protection fee of just 2 billion, the nobles in the Daimyo's Prefecture were still quite dissatisfied and reluctant to pay, even pushing the officials to shout:
"The Village of Konoha was established entirely with the support of the Land of Fire, which already provides substantial subsidies every year.
Therefore, Konoha and the Hokage should protect the safety of the Daimyo's palace without charge; they must immediately take action to drive the Bijuu away!"
When these words were spoken, Tobirama became extremely angry.
'Okay, okay, you won't cry until you see the coffin, will you?'
Tobirama took his brother and left the negotiation dinner in a bad mood, and contacted the Kyuubi outside the city overnight, ready to deliver a cruel blow to these foolish nobles!
And so it happened at dawn the next day.
The entire vast Daimyo's Prefecture was awakened by countless sharp and piercing whistling sounds.
It was the enemy attack alarm sounding from the outer city walls!
This time the attackers were not enemy troops, but the nine Bijuu!
When the Daimyo and a group of nobles and high officials woke up to the sound of the whistle, they panicked and rushed to the upper floors of the palace tower, witnessing the terrifying sight of the Bijuu attack from a distance.
They were immediately terrified!
They were used to living a life of parties and drinking, so how could they possibly face such a scene?
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to withstand the fear when encountering a two-meter-tall strong man.
Moreover, these were Bijuu that were dozens of meters tall!
As a result, the nobles hurriedly invited Hashirama and Tobirama to come out and immediately changed their tune.
They were willing to pay all the fees in full, and they only hoped that the Hokage could resolve this crisis!
Save their lives and wealth!
Tobirama looked at the high nobles he didn't want to deal with in disgust.
Their ugly faces that looked down on others and treated ninjas as tools yesterday were still vividly etched in his mind.
It was completely different from their tearful faces now.
Only when the knife was placed at their necks did they wake up and shed tears.
They didn't know they were wrong, but they knew they were about to die!
Originally, Tobirama had no intention of using such an extraordinary method. The reason was that the entire Land of Fire had stabbed Konoha in the back and cut off its funds in various ways to make it disgusted.
As expected, the Bijuu had to deal with bad people!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Hashirama felt a bit reluctant, and the Daimyo personally pleaded and was willing to pay the "protection fee" on behalf of all the nobles.
So, Hashirama prepared to take action.
As agreed beforehand, before the Kyuubi and its group could attack the Daimyo's palace, Hashirama demonstrated his power to repel and drive them all away.
Of course, to make his performance more exciting, he would 'kill' one or two Bijuu along the way.
As for whether they actually died, only those involved and the Bijuu knew.
But at this critical moment, Hashirama suddenly disappeared!
It turned out that Parallel World 3 had faced a sudden attack from Urashiki, so Lux asked Hashirama and the others for help.
"Huh?"
"Hokage-sama?"
"Where... is this person?"
The Daimyo and a group of nobles were stunned.
What does this mean? How could that person suddenly disappear?
Where did he go? Did he run away?
Or break the contract?
If he felt the price wasn't right, he could negotiate again, couldn't he?
No need to run so fast, right?
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Tobirama. As the Hokage's younger brother, he was the only one who knew the reason.
Tobirama, of course, suspected that it was most likely Lux who had summoned his eldest brother.
'Has something big happened again? A more serious problem than the Land of Fire?'
'Whatever the problem, Big Brother can solve it, right? It just happened at this moment, what a coincidence!'
'I wonder how long it will take for Big Brother and the others to solve it? Now it's a bit troublesome for me to keep performing alone!'
Tobirama frowned while thinking.
But the people around quickly gathered and asked in a flattering tone:
"Tobirama, where is the Hokage?"
"There must be a problem in our village, so Big Brother rushed back to deal with it..."
Tobirama responded casually, saying things that the people couldn't verify.
"How could that be? Then what should we do?"
"Then those monsters are outside the city! They could invade at any moment!"
"Now that the Hokage is gone, what will we do? My lord, please think of a solution!"
The nobles wailed and pleaded with the Daimyo.
Of course, they couldn't force Tobirama, and could only rely on the Daimyo's reputation to apply indirect pressure!
"Tobirama, can you allow the Hokage to return and handle the disaster here first? Facing monsters like that, we are truly powerless to fight!" The Daimyo sincerely requested.
If those monsters were allowed to enter the city, the entire Daimyo's Prefecture would likely be destroyed.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I just received information that Konoha seems to have been attacked. That's when Big Brother rushed back to save it."
"If we let him return now, our village will surely suffer great losses!"
Tobirama looked embarrassed, but in his heart, he was very pleased.
He was just happy to see these people scared and regretful.
"Konoha is full of talented people and protected by great ninja clans. Even if they face a small attack, they should be able to hold out, right?"
"But we really can't wait! Please ask Tobirama to immediately inform the Hokage and request him to return to the Daimyo's palace for assistance!"
"As for the losses caused by the attack on Konoha, we are willing to bear them all!"
The Daimyo still had some courage.
He quickly changed his mind and promised to bear all the losses, only asking the Hokage to return and protect them first!
"If Big Brother doesn't return, I'm afraid we will suffer many losses!"
"We must pay even more!"
"How much more?"
"One billion, please!"
Tobirama said seriously and attacked the client without hesitation.
"What? Are you deliberately squeezing me?"
A noble's face drastically changed, and he harshly criticized.
The Daimyo wouldn't pay everything alone, and the additional compensation of 1 billion would surely be divided among all the nobles.
Asking for their money was almost more painful than asking for their lives!
"Shut up!"
The Daimyo slapped the noble until he fainted, because at that moment he was still talking nonsense.
Do you really want to drag them all to be buried with you?
At the same time, a loud explosion erupted near the distant city wall.
*BOOM!*
The ferocious Kyuubi casually swung its tail, directly destroying half of the city wall. Countless debris flew everywhere.
Its power was extraordinary and unmatched!
This perfect stimulation terrified the nobles.
Many people fell to the ground and couldn't control themselves.
"The monsters are coming!"
"Run away!"
"Where can we run?"
"Please, Konoha, save us!"
"Add more! Let's add more!"
"We will pay whatever the price!"
"I only hope the Hokage returns immediately and subdues those monsters!"
The terrified nobles no longer had any courage and hugged Tobirama, pleading with tears in their eyes.
Now even if Tobirama doubled the price, they might have no choice but to accept it.
However, for sustainable development, Tobirama kept his promise;
If we say 3 billion, then just 3 billion, no more!
"It's okay. I will contact Big Brother and ask him to return first!"
"It might only take a little time. He left the Daimyo's Prefecture through a secret technique."
Tobirama couldn't estimate how long it would take for his brother to return, so he could only respond this way.
"Then what should we do?"
"Don't worry, with me here, it's enough to hold out until Big Brother returns!"
Tobirama smiled mischievously and confidently reassured.
Then he immediately created ten shadow clones and attacked with several Konoha ninjas.
Although he couldn't defeat the nine Bijuu, they were all his people.
It should be fine to let the Bijuu cooperate with his clones and pretend to be interested in them, to buy some time.
'As long as I'm paid to do something, I, Senju Tobirama, am still very trustworthy!'
