Chapter 197 Uchiha Nan: Why don't we fight? I'm still waiting to sell arms!
Iwagakure
In the dim conference room, the air was filled with tension.
Ohnoki sat in the main seat in the conference room with a tired expression and a layer of wrinkles on his forehead. Around him sat the top leaders of the Iwagakure Village.
The Daimyo of the Land of Earth sent people to the Iwagakure Village overnight, demanding that the Iwagakure Village immediately assemble the ninja army and send troops to suppress the rebellion in the Rain Village.
Compared to the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth is more wise and decisive.
The envoy who came to Iwagakure not only brought the daimyo's order, but also held a bank draft from the Ministry of Finance. The bank draft could be cashed in any bank in the Land of Earth.
The Daimyo of the Land of Earth is well aware of the current situation and his own advantages. It is impossible to expect the ninjas to work for nothing.
The relationship between the ninja village and the country is very vague. The ninja village is in a semi-independent state, like a sharp sword, but the hilt is not controlled by the country. As the supreme ruler of the country, how can the daimyo sleep well!
Now the thing that Daimyo was most worried about has finally happened, and he can't sleep at all.
In the past, they had to pull funds from the ninja villages, conduct obedience tests from time to time to disgust the ninja villages, and then pay money to win over some of the ninja villages. The daimyos have mastered the art of balancing internal forces to perfection.
Now, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth wants the Rain Village to disappear completely from this ninja world as quickly as possible.
He could afford the money and was not stingy with rewards. He was willing to give anything, whether it was wealth or a hereditary title from the country.
Faced with a funding that far exceeded that of the previous year, Ōnoki accepted it without a second thought. It was only right and proper for the Iwagakure Village to send troops to destroy the Rain Village.
"Since ancient times, ninjas have served their employers. After the establishment of the ninja village system, the most important thing is to defend the country and protect the daimyo. Ninjas protect the country's security, and the daimyo and their ministers focus on herding the people and are responsible for supporting the ninja village. This is the contract signed by the first Tsuchikage himself and the daimyo."
"The order of the ninja world must not be broken. You youngsters have not experienced the Warring States Period."
"."
An old antique who has lived from the Warring States Period to the present day, an elder-level founding father of the Iwagakure Village, was the first to speak, and believed that the rebellion of the Rain Village must be suppressed.
If the era of the collapse of rituals and music occurs again, it will definitely be the beginning of infinite tragedy.
The elder spoke earnestly for a long time.
"Elder, you are right. I heard that the Daimyo has added a large amount of funds to the Iwagakure Village. He takes money from people and helps them get rid of disasters. Whoever gives money to the village will be killed by us!"
A ninja with scars on his face couldn't stand the elder's nagging and quickly interrupted the elder's speech. It was so annoying to have to listen to his trivial things every time at the meeting.
Is it that troublesome?
The daimyo offered money to kill someone, and the price he offered was very high.
"Humph, the temper of young people is what I used to have."
The elder began to mutter incoherently, but the young men present were no longer willing to listen to his rambling and began to speak freely about their views on the Rain Village.
Occasionally, some outrageous remarks would come out of the meeting room. If the village controlled the wealth of a country, would their lives be better than they are now?
Konoha's new ideas eventually drifted to the Iwagakure Village, and the new editions of the Will of Fire were being printed in the printing factory. Although they had become contraband in various countries, the publisher was Konoha, so how could it be completely banned?
The tone of the meeting has been set, and it is a foregone conclusion that the Iwagakure Village will send troops to destroy the Rain Village.
But the Rain Village lay dormant during the First Ninja World War, and has continued to expand over the years, recruiting soldiers and training new people. Its power has expanded rapidly, and it recently took control of the power of a country.
It would not be an easy task for the Iwagakure Village to wipe out an opponent of this level, even with the support of the Land of Earth. After defeating the Rain Village, the Iwagakure Village would definitely return to the pre-liberation era overnight, and all the years of recuperation would be in vain.
The daimyo only needs to pay the money, but Ōnoki, as the Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village, has a lot more things to consider.
"Quiet!"
When Oonoki's voice appeared, the conference room immediately became quiet.
"The Rain Village cannot be underestimated, so the Iwagakure Village cannot rashly send out troops. To annihilate the Rain Village, the Iwagakure Village cannot be the only ninja village to contribute!
Send someone to contact Konoha, Kumogakure, Sandagakure, and Mistagakure to inquire about their intentions."
The Rain Village has done something so outrageous, the five great ninja villages."
Although the daimyo was willing to spend money, Ōnoki did not intend to let the Iwagakure Village wade into this muddy water alone, and he had to involve a few more ninja villages.
Especially the Hidden Cloud Village. This huge thunder exploded for no apparent reason. Just as they sent troops to the Rain Village, the Hidden Cloud Village exploded right after. The sky of the Hidden Rock Village seemed to have collapsed.
"agree."
"Lord Tsuchikage is wise!!"
Ohnoki's proposal was supported by everyone. The Rain Village had provoked the daimyos of the five major countries and would definitely disappear completely from the ninja world. It was impossible for only the Iwagakure Village to fight to the death.
"Send someone to inform the daimyo that the Iwagakure will send troops to the Rain Village, but not now. The Iwagakure is urgently contacting Konoha and the Sand Village to agree on a time and send troops together."
Ohnoki tried to delay for a while to see how the ninja world would develop. According to the information from the Anbu, Konoha was secretly pushing the Rain Village.
You can't just rush forward like that!
Yunyin Village
A group of dark and grumpy old men were discussing heatedly in the conference room how to send troops.
The Rain Village has touched the Daimyo's reverse scale. It is the most evil group ever created and is a ninja village that must be wiped out.
Hashirama Senju, who was once known as the God of the Ninja World, and Uchiha Madara, the Shura of the Ninja World, who suppressed the entire Ninja World, never did such a rebellious thing.
A mere Rain Village, a newly rising one, dared to defy the world and do such a thing. Today it is the name of the Rain Country, so will it be the turn of the name of the Lightning Country tomorrow?
The relationship between the five major ninja villages has never been very good in the past. Even if the relationship eased briefly and there was a honeymoon period, it was ultimately all for the sake of interests. This is true for the five major ninja villages and the five major countries.
The relationship between the five major daimyos is sometimes good and sometimes bad, but no matter what, they are all in the same circle and class. When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns, and the daimyos all choose to unite and order their ninja villages to send troops to destroy the Rain Village.
"The daimyo is really generous. He is willing to spend so much money this time."
"Yeah yeah!!"
"We, the Hidden Cloud Village, will take on this job of getting people paid to eliminate disasters!"
The dark-skinned old guys are as upright as ever, and have already sharpened their knives to kill those evil people in the Rain Village.
"Everyone be quiet!!"
The third generation Ai slapped the table and broke it. Can these guys in front of him use their brains? Can the Hidden Cloud Village fight alone in this matter?
We must involve the other four major ninja villages!
The third generation Ai expressed his plan and won the unanimous vote of the dark-skinned brothers.
As expected of Lord Raikage, he has a useful brain!
"Lord Raikage, do we still need to invest this amount of funds into Blue Sky Project Co., Ltd."
"They recently launched a new campaign. As long as the return on investment increases by 30 points within this week, not only that... this time the cycle is only 20 days." "Mr. Pang Zi said that he wanted to give back to old users (and finally make a big profit!), especially big customers like Yunyin Village."
The Minister of Finance mentioned the new activities of the Blue Sky Project Co., Ltd., which was announced the day before yesterday and attracted a large number of villagers to invest.
As expected of an investment company that Raikage himself strongly promotes, there are also activities to reward old users, which are so powerful that gamblers are crazy.
After the Minister of Finance finished speaking, he waited for Sandai Ai's response. This time the activity to reward old users was very generous, which made Sandai Ai very excited.
"Then invest a little bit more in it.. The more you invest, the more you earn."
"Throw half of the funds in and leave the other half for emergencies."
"Okay, Lord Raikage!"
Water Country Mist Village
"It seems that the Daimyo is really mad!"
Shuidou looked at the secret letter from the Daimyo of the Water Country. The Water Country, which has always been independent of the continent, rarely got involved in the disputes of the continent, but this time the Daimyo of the Water Country was really angry.
Even if there is an ocean between us, we must completely destroy the Rain Village.
"Destroy the Rain Village completely at all costs!"
The fewer the words, the bigger the matter. The crooked and scattered handwriting shows the mood of the Daimyo of the Land of Water when he wrote this letter. It must have been a rage as fierce as a raging storm.
This was the order from the daimyo, and as the Mizukage, Mizuto had to obey it, but this had already ruined his plans.
Let himself lead the ninja army, across an ocean, and then through several countries to wipe out a ninja village deep in the interior of the continent.
This is such a joke!
In order to fight against foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation. Our own internal situation is still a mess!
The bloodline ninja clan, headed by the Kaguya clan, can no longer hold back. In just three years, the rumors against the bloodline ninja clan have spread throughout the Water Kingdom, and continued to ferment, with n versions being made up.
The reputation of the Bloodline Ninja Clan has almost reached the level of being hated by everyone in the Water Country.
Shuidou can swear to heaven that he really did not push these rumors behind the scenes. These rumors were all made up and spread spontaneously by the masses.
Although Mizuto was happy to see this happen, the negative effects were obvious. The bloodline ninja clans in the Hidden Mist Village became increasingly close, and the Hozuki clan and the Mizunotsuki clan, which were originally unwilling to fight to the death, became as extreme as the Kaguya clan.
In order to prevent the Hidden Mist Village from falling apart, Mizuto has been struggling over the past few years, using every possible means to buy himself time and train new people for the Hidden Mist Village.
Now it’s working!
Faced with the extremely vicious bloodline ninjas who were unwilling to kneel down, they were unwilling to obey his orders, had capricious and unruly personalities, and refused to live a peaceful life. Eventually, they became extremely dangerous and could even launch a coup at any time.
Must be monitored!
Must be closely monitored!
We must focus on close surveillance!
The Hidden Mist Village does not have enough manpower to monitor these three bloodline ninja clans.
Mizuto is recently considering relocating the three dangerous ninja clans of the Hidden Mist Village - the Kaguya clan, the Mizunotsuki clan, and the Hozumi clan - to the edge of the Hidden Mist Village and keep them under close surveillance. They cannot be allowed to live in the center of the Hidden Mist Village anymore!
Moreover, the surrounding residents protested from time to time, asking why the inherently evil bloodline ninja clan should be placed in the center of the Hidden Mist Village. The curse on them would bring misfortune to the villagers of the Hidden Mist Village.
This is all for the Hidden Mist Village!!
But the damn Rain Village ruined Mizuto's plan!
To send the ninja army on an expedition over such a long distance, he, as the Mizukage, must go there personally.
The main force of the Bloodline Ninja Clan must be brought along, as Shuidou cannot leave the Bloodline Ninja Clan in their old lair.
Otherwise, as soon as he sent out his troops, the Fourth Mizukage would appear in the Hidden Mist Village.
If they were led on such an unprecedented expedition, which had never happened in the history of the Water Kingdom, it would not be surprising if any accidents happened in the middle.
Especially since they have to travel through the Land of Fire and through Konoha, the Kaguya clan has a unclear relationship with the Hyuga clan of Konoha and they are in contact every year.
Internal and external collusion, Mizukage's sudden death, how... ahem... scary it sounds!!
"No. Wait a minute."
"Such a big thing has happened on the continent. Even if the sky falls, there are still Konoha, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sandagakure. These four major ninja villages will take care of it first. Now the daimyo of these four ninja villages must be even more anxious."
Mizuto thought carefully and decided that the expedition to the Rain Village was a big deal and he had to first see the actions of the other four major ninja villages. Maybe the Hidden Mist Village didn't even need to take action, and the Rain Village would have been wiped out by these four major ninja villages.
Let’s do this for now!
Mizuto made up his mind to postpone the expedition to Rain Village, even if the Daimyo of the Land of Water paid more money!
Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Rain Village caused an uproar in the ninja world. The daimyos united and vowed to destroy this group of evil people. They immediately called on the ninja villages under their command to send troops to attack the Rain Village.
The situation in the ninja world became visibly tense, but the expected ninja coalition did not appear. The five major ninja villages were under emergency martial law, but there was no sign of any of them sending troops.
Keep drinking and live your life as usual!
Konoha Hokage Building
On Uchiha Nan's desk were secret letters from the daimyos of the four great kingdoms, the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Water, and the Kingdom of Lightning, sincerely inviting Konoha to lead the ninja coalition and eliminate the evil gang of Rain Village in one fell swoop.
The Kazekage, Tsuchikage, Raikage, and Mizukage also wrote letters to inquire about Konoha's intentions.
Mosa chose to be on the same front with Konoha and to advance and retreat together as allies.
Ohnoki stabbed the Third Generation Ai in the back and watched the movements of Konoha and the Sand Village. If your two ninja villages don't move, the Iwagakure Village will never send troops.
The third generation Ai was happily waiting to count the money. Looking at Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure who were standing still, he instinctively felt that something was wrong. Why weren't they sending out troops?
Then I won’t go out either!
Anyway, the Hidden Cloud Village is making a lot of money now, and when they get bigger in the future, they will first kill Konoha, then kill the treacherous villain of the Hidden Rock Village, and finally kill the weakling of the Hidden Sand Village!
As for the Hidden Mist Village, it is too far away. They are floating on an island in the sea, and news is delayed. They are anxiously waiting for news that the four major ninja villages will form a ninja coalition to wipe out the Rain Village.
"You can't even fight this?"
"If you don't fight, who will Konoha sell its arms to?"
Uchiha Nan didn't expect to encounter such a situation!
