Tsk tsk!
True to being Konoha's brain trust, such a dark heart indeed!
Everyone present secretly thought to themselves.
"To subjugate Konoha," meant making the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and a series of nobles bow their heads to Konoha.
"To annually tribute fifty billion ryō, with discretionary adjustments," meant that whether to increase or decrease the amount was dictated by those from Konoha and could be seen as trampling over the Daimyo's dignity.
This was an act of utmost treason!
But why did they feel a sense of incongruity in their hearts, and yet, a surge of impulse was burgeoning?
What was this feeling of anticipation about?
Oh?
So the Daimyo was defeated.
Well, that's no problem.
Weak nations have no diplomacy; if they won't submit, just exterminate them, at most Konoha might face some administrative difficulties for a while.
