Chapter 307: Upheaval and Prelude

During the period when Rope Tree was silently cultivating and digesting and familiarizing himself with a series of harvests, the hidden danger buried in the west of the Ninja Continent finally gradually broke out.

There are four small countries separated between the land of fire and the two countries of wind and earth to the west of the continent, which are the country of rain, the country of grass, the country of rivers, and the country of taki.

Among these four countries, the entire territory of the country of Kawanoki is an undeveloped natural wilderness, and the country of Takanoki is surrounded by a large number of waterfalls on all sides, neither of which is suitable for caravan transportation and cannot become a trade route, while the country of grass is an ally of the country of fire, and the relationship between the two countries is close, so when the economic and trade of the country of rain is completely blocked, the trade routes of the two great powers of the country of wind and the country of earth are also completely cut off!

At first, the countries didn't care, anyway, now that the entire continent is in economic depression, merchants have hoarded a large number of goods that are not for sale, and the cessation of trade with the Fire Nation seems to have little impact.

And because some sources of goods have finally become scarce, some commodity markets have picked up!

For example, food returned to normal prices at an alarming rate in just a few days. This discovery made the grain merchants happy, and some shrewd grain merchants began to deliberately hoard in order to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. This has led to even more frantic increases in food prices in both the wind and Turkey.

When the high-level leaders of the two countries found out that the situation was wrong and began to meddle in the regulation, they found that the country's grain reserves did not seem to be enough!

They have had a lot of financial income in recent years, but the whole country has been fully invested in its own special products, and the production of grain has long been completely abandoned. Who would do such a thankless job when it is extremely difficult for them to grow food in their own country, and the price of food is very low? The huge number of domestic specialties makes it easier to make money, so everyone naturally rushes into it.

However, this will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the country's economic system and an over-reliance on cross-border trade.

Even in a boom period, when cross-border trade is terminated, the entire country's economy suffers a lot, let alone during this economic depression.

It soon became clear to the governments that they could not buy enough food, even with a lot of money in their hands! If this continues, not only will the economic crisis break out early, but the whole country will also fall into a terrible famine!

At this time, the two countries suddenly discovered that their only life channel, the Land of Rain, had been completely blocked a month ago!

At this time, the rain country, which is rainy all the year round and does not produce any food and resources, has hoarded a lot of goods because of the commercial centers of the three major countries!

The top brass of the Land of Rain, who are also aware of the bad situation, have stopped the export of grain to the wind and Turkey in a timely manner! No matter how high the price is, the other party will never sell a grain of grain, and grain is designated as a prohibited item, and if smuggling is discovered, it will be executed for treason.

The Land of Rain is small and sparsely populated, and the food stored in the country is a drop in the bucket for both countries, but it is enough to meet the country's food needs for several years. At this time, of course, they chose to die and not die.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the high-level officials of the wind and earth immediately raised strong resistance to the country of rain, and issued a document demanding that the country of rain obtain the understanding of the country of fire, and at the same time called on the country of fire to return to the trade order!

After a month, when the news about the west of the continent came out, the high-level leaders of the entire ninja world suddenly realized that the economic sanctions that Konoha said before were not simple words, but a terrible means that could directly force the two powerful countries into a crisis!

After thinking about this, everyone gasped again. "You can still do this! Konoha like this is really a little scary! What if Konoha imposes economic sanctions on his own country?" Thinking of this, a sense of powerlessness arose in everyone's hearts, now that the overall situation has been decided, there seems to be no other way than war, "Damn! How could those guys in Konoha suddenly think of such a solution?"

At the same time, a person's name suddenly appeared in the minds of the high-ranking people of various countries - "Skywalker"! This matter must be inseparable from this genius who is famous for his extraordinary wisdom in the ninja world!

After the declaration issued by the two countries, the country of rain immediately stated that the economic blockade was a unilateral act of the country of fire, and it was not the country of rain that could influence it, and the country of rain also suffered from it, and at the same time hoped that the country of wind and earth would remain rational and realize the real root cause!

Not to be outdone, the Fire Nation has clearly declared that due to the great harm caused to Konoha by the Land of Rain, the Fire Nation must take punitive measures, and deeply regrets the encounter between the Wind and the Earth in the Fire Country. If the Land of Rain can learn from its mistakes and agree to Konoha's previous conditions, then the Fire Country will immediately lift the economic blockade and restore the trade order.

The practice of the two countries not allowing each other to pass on their responsibilities has made the wind and Turkey very angry, mmp! Why are we hurting you? Do you really think we're bullies?

The fierce martial arts faction in the villages of Sand Hide and Iwain has already begun to clamore for a crusade against Yuyin and Konoha.

However, at present, the internal situation of the two countries is precarious, and if another war breaks out in this case, the harm of food shortage will be exacerbated, and the chances of victory in the case of food shortage are not very good, so the high-level leaders of the two countries still hope to solve the problem by means of diplomatic pressure.

It's a pity that some people don't want them to drag it out any longer, and decide to add another fire to them.

Soon Konoha issued a statement to the entire ninja world again: Due to the current tense situation in the ninja world, Konoha will send Skywalker Senju Rope Tree to lead 70,000 ninja troops to the northwest border of the Fire Country for military exercises! Konoha has always maintained the peace of the ninja world by himself! The Land of Fire is also a peace-loving country. This military exercise is just to exercise the ability of the Konoha ninja army and better maintain world peace! There is no intention of provoking a war! I hope that all countries will not be misunderstood!

As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar again in the world, I didn't expect Konoha to be so shameless!

So what military exercises they have never heard of? And one exercise needs to mobilize 70,000 ninja troops? And let Skywalker, the military master, personally lead it? Believe in you to have a ghost! This is obviously going to the Land of Rain!

For a while, the entire ninja world was in turmoil, and everyone focused on the northwest of the continent.

After receiving the news, Hanzo of Rain Hidden Village personally led 40,000 ninja troops to the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire for defense.

Although the army is at a disadvantage, Hanzo is very confident in this battle, because he feels that his combat power is better than that of the twelve-year-old Skywalker, and there is no room for the opponent's strategy in this kind of head-to-head duel, so he only needs to solve the Skywalker and the war will be over!
