If it weren't for Sheren's rather special status, he would probably have to go through some interrogation.

The capital of the Land of Fire is almost the largest city in the ninja world.

The overly weird technology tree in this ninja world makes this city feel a bit like a metropolis in the steam age.

Because the sun was setting when we arrived, many of the bars and dance halls with lively entertainment were already open, which made it feel like people were living in a state of drunkenness and wealth.

In the era that Toneri lives in today, we already have televisions, but they were not born for a long time, and even electricity was not yet popular in many places.

But Shiren obviously didn't want to pay too much attention to this.

Not long after he entered the capital of the Kingdom of Fire, several powerful ninjas appeared in front of him.

These ninjas all wore a white strip of cloth on their waists, with a red word "fire" embroidered on it.

These ninjas are somewhat famous in the entire ninja world.

The Twelve Ninjas who protect the Land of Fire.

The Twelve Guardian Ninjas are the twelve elite ninjas responsible for protecting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. They are a private and independent force directly under the Daimyo. They are very powerful and their symbol is the loincloth with the word "Fire" on their waists.

This is the personal armed force completely controlled by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

In Toneri's memory, his disciple Asuma will join this organization in the future and become one of the twelve guardian ninjas who protect the daimyo, which is why his bounty is as high as 35 million.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Hokage of Konoha are nominally subordinate.

But in fact, the relationship between the two parties is not so harmonious. One party controls the power, and the other party controls the justice and economy. Of course, there is a certain contradiction.

The twelve guardian ninjas are an organization established by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to defend Konoha.

Twelve elite jonin, to put it bluntly, are not necessarily opponents to ordinary shadow-level experts.

Especially among these elite Jonin, there are several who have the power to reach the level of Kage.

For example, in the future, Jilu and Sarutobi Asuma will be very strong.

With the strength of these twelve protective ninjas, the average small hidden village may not be able to withstand their attack.

And as the Fire Nation has a long history, it has not only ninjas, but also many powerful warriors. These people are also one of the most powerful places in the Fire Nation.

"You are the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, right? The daimyo has been waiting for a long time. Please come with us." There were six ninjas present, and the leader was a woman.

The Twelve Ninjas of the Guardian are all ninjas, but none of them wear forehead protectors that represent their status as ninjas. Their only symbol is the loincloth around their waists.

Six people vaguely surrounded the three Toneri in the middle. Judging from their appearance, they probably didn't take Toneri as the Hokage seriously at all.

They are ninjas who belong to the daimyo side. In their hearts, Naruto is a person whose existence is unnecessary. Whether it is the Land of Fire or the Hidden Leaf Village, they should be in the hands of the daimyo.

So naturally he didn't have a good look towards Sheren and the others.

They don't have a good look on themselves, and Shiren certainly won't tolerate them.

"Lead the way." He said calmly.

The six ninjas couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard the way this man spoke.

The few of them looked at each other, didn't say anything more, and just flew towards the Daming Mansion.

Don't stop even if you leave others behind.

He wanted to see what kind of person this great name from the Fire Country was.

The speed of their feet became faster and faster, and Ryoma and Terai followed behind Toneri silently, turning a blind eye to the six ninjas next to them.

Entering Daming Mansion, you can feel more presences carrying chakra aura.

The little tsundere appeared on Toneri's shoulder.

"Toneri, there are six more like the six next to us. They are not weak, but there are still many people with strong auras but weak chakra fluctuations." Erwei reminded.

Shiren nodded and said nothing.

After twisting and turning, he entered a room with a long table, and sitting at the head was none other than the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

One looks very white and slightly fat, with an unfolded fan-like headdress stuck behind his head. He holds a small fan in his hand, covering half of his face, and is fanning it gently.

On both sides of the table, there were two rows of tables, one side of which was full of people. They should be ministers with considerable power from the Country of Fire, such as the Minister of Finance and so on.

The row of seats on the other side was empty.

"Daimyo, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha has arrived." The ninja who led before bowed slightly and said.

In fact, she was not needed. After Toneri came in, the Fire Country Daimyo's eyes kept falling on Toneri.

"Those six auras are all around this room." Little Tsundere promptly reminded.

"Oh ho ho, this young guy must be the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, right? He is indeed young and promising," the daimyo said in a very exaggerated tone.

The voice was very sharp, sounding like a eunuch.

"Daimyo, I am the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. I have kept you waiting for a long time." Toneri said without being humble or overbearing, and walked to the first seat on his right.

Terai pulled out a chair and let him sit down.

Seeing Toneri's appearance, several ministers from the Fire Country across from him began to whisper.

It's just that they didn't expect that their way of speaking, which seemed to lower their voices, would actually sound like they were speaking with their throats open in front of Toneri.

The content is nothing more than a few.

Why do you look so young? How can you be so trustworthy? How dare you be so rude to a famous person and other trivial issues.

The daimyo's expression remained unchanged, his small fan covered half of his face, and his eyes scanned Toneri from top to bottom with an appreciative look.

In an instant, this look made Toneri's whole body goosebumps stand up, and he felt very bad.

"I heard that the Fourth Hokage made a splash on the battlefield some time ago and gained a lot of face for our Fire Nation." The daimyo's words seemed to be full of praise for Toneri, but his voice could not tell what he meant.

Happy or unhappy.

"Thank you Daimyo for your praise. All this is for the Country of Fire and Konoha."

Sheren is quite tactful and knows that if things can be solved by talking, don't do anything unless you can't help it.

"So, the war should be over soon?" Daming's eyes flashed with thought.

"Yes."

"Then this way, Konoha's financial expenditure won't be so big, right?"

Hearing this, Toneri frowned, and he understood what the name of the Fire Country wanted to do.

Want to cut Konoha's financial allocation?

Seeing Toneri frowning, sitting directly opposite him was the current Minister of Finance.

Yin Yang said angrily: "Our Fire Nation's expenditures in the past few years have been too great. If it continues like this, I'm afraid our Fire Nation won't be able to hold on for too long.

In my opinion, now that the war is over, some departments may not be that important anymore.

How about cutting funding?!"

After hearing this, regardless of the content of the words, this sinister tone was unacceptable to Shiren, let alone his words.

Toneri's Mangekyō Sharingan couldn't help but spin.

He suddenly raised his head and glared at the Finance Minister opposite.

"I'm talking to the Daimyo, how can you interrupt?!"

boom

The chair of the Finance Minister directly opposite Toneri was instantly shattered and exploded, and he flew out upside down with bleeding from his orifices.

Swish Swish Swish

Twelve figures appeared in the room, their auras all aimed at Toneri, taking out their ninja tools or assuming attack postures.

Ryoma, who was standing behind Toneri, opened his arms. Several clouds of black mist emerged from his sleeves and collar, floating around his body. If you looked closely, you could see tiny flying insects.

On the other side, Terai also pulled out the long knife from his back, and a trace of blue lightning danced on the long knife.
