Chapter 237: I'll Kill the People. I'll Take the Blame!
In the Land of Iron, Mifune was deep in thought, and next to him was the latest order his people brought back from Amegakure.
He really couldn't understand why the other party had to make such a decision.
Wasn't it better to secretly control a country for oneself?
Once it was made public, not only would the great situation that he had worked hard to maintain instantly be ruined, but Akatsuki, who occupied two countries, would immediately enter the sights of the five great countries, and probably wouldn't live a peaceful life in the future.
Mifune was naturally not all thinking for Akatsuki. After all, they would be on the same boat in the future. If Akatsuki attracted the attention of the five great countries, then the Land of Iron would no longer want to be neutral in the future.
At that time, even more bitter flames of war would undoubtedly burn over them.
But if he did not agree, it would not do. Since he had already done this, was he going to fall out with him now?
Not to mention whether this was consistent with his own beliefs, just the consequences that came later, he could not bear.
Therefore, it seemed that he could only take it one step at a time.
If the other party kept his promise, it would be fine. Otherwise, he was already prepared to die together. Even if the Land of Iron was destroyed, he would make the other party feel pain in his heart!
Thinking of this, a decisive look appeared in Mifune's eyes.
At this moment, someone walked in and said, "Mifune-sama, General Sanzo requests an audience."
Mifune was a little surprised, but he still said, "Please invite General Sanzo in."
"What happened to the matter you mentioned last time?" As soon as he entered, Sanzo went straight to the point.
Mifune sighed, and then he took the letter from the side and handed it to the other party.
"This is the other party's bottom line. It has to be done."
Speaking of which, he was able to control the entire Land of Iron so smoothly. Among them, the old general, Sanzo, had contributed a lot, helping him to clear up the complicated relationships, and also used his qualifications, connections, and other resources to clear up many obstacles for him.
It could be said that after General Mikasa died, Sanzo had completely pinned her hopes on Mifune.
He only had one request. Even if the Land of Iron changed its ruler, warriors could not become history!
As for this point, after Mifune proposed it, Haru also agreed. Anyway, this kind of thing was not important.
Therefore, Mifune now very much believed in Sanzo. If stealing the country was a crime, then both of them should be dismembered and chopped to death!
"It seems that if Akatsuki's leader is not short-sighted and happy, then he has other plans! According to our previous analysis, this person is not stupid, and he will not be able to see the pros and cons. However, the other party still made such a choice, and his attitude is so tough, then it means that there is something that we do not know about."
"Then what should we do?" Mifune also thought so, and asked at this time.
"We have already come to this step, do we still have a way out?" Sanzo recognized that he was looking at Mifune.
Mifune was silent. Then he heard Sanzo say, "Do as I say. We can't continue to be merciful now. I will do what I should have done. I will kill the man. I will take the blame!"
"And you will be the hero of the Land of Iron. It is reasonable to lure Akatsuki out at that time."
"But in this way, you..." Mifune still couldn't bear it.
"Do you know? Mifune, your firm belief has made you today, but sometimes you can only go farther and live longer by doing anything you want. You are not ruthless enough!"
After saying that, Sanzo pulled out his sword and walked out with a murderous look.
Mifune did not stop them in the end. Soon, screams and shouts of servants came from outside.
...
Three days later, a big event that shocked the entire Land of Iron spread in a flash.
Because General Sanzo was worried that Mifune would no longer retain the tradition of only respecting warriors in the Land of Iron after ascending, he actually brought people to start a rebellion.
Before anyone could react in the beginning, a large number of warriors were killed suddenly.
Following that, Mifune had no choice but to lead his men into battle. He killed the sinner, Sanzo, and captured all the rebels.
However, even though the rebellion was over, after this battle, the Land of Iron had finally managed to regain their composure.
Then, something even more shocking happened!
The hero, Mifune, who was considered to be able to lead the Land of Iron back to its peak, suddenly revealed another identity of his!
Members of Akatsuki!
They also publicly announced that the Land of Iron Country would be under Akatsuki's rule like Amegakure, and jointly built a more prosperous and powerful country.
Strange, puzzled, confused, uneasy.
Most of the people were like this, but it was not to the point of being lively.
No matter who the ruler was, the people at the bottom always cared about whether they could eat, wear clothes, and ensure their personal safety and property safety.
So at this time, most of the people were watching coldly.
And the one who really had a huge reaction was another samurai!
After all, a country that never recognized ninjas and only produced samurai was now ruled by a group of ninjas. There was no need to think to know that it would definitely explode on the spot and become a mess!
However, a very strange scene happened.
Someone had already thrown a bomb at their feet, but everyone seemed to have closed their eyes and not seen it. Even if someone occasionally burst out with dissatisfaction, it was only the sound of thunder and the heavy rain that was a bit smaller and soon disappeared.
Why?
Because the group of samurai with the most intense reaction had all been killed by Sanzo!
Even if there were still some who escaped the net, they would not be able to cause any big waves.
No one was not afraid of death, whether they were ninjas or samurai, they could only talk about the future if they were alive.
Mifune gave everyone a chance to choose and tried to save everyone, but in the end, he failed.
Sanzo was right, so there was this rebellion and solved the time bomb in advance, and then he took on everything himself and died in front of everyone, which was also an explanation to the rest of the people.
Therefore, many people of Land of Iron were surprised to find that the samurai walking in the streets and alleys did not seem to be very angry. Instead, they were doing what they should do as usual.
Even the samurai who were related to benefits revealed a nonchalant attitude, and the people at the bottom would not find trouble for themselves.
So the incident that should have caused a huge turmoil was strangely tacitly approved
When Haru and Kagami learned of this situation, they were both surprised. They did not expect Mifune to have such a method!
Only after asking about the specific details did they sigh that Sanza was the one who lived the most in the Land of Iron.
Since this guy took the initiative to bear all the infamy and went to the underworld, Haru definitely could not destroy the bridge after crossing the river.
Therefore, when he took people to the Land of Iron, he also made Mifune feel at ease, and he would never break his promise!
