Chapter 449: The Giant Pit of the Rope Tree
After the trade treaty between Wind and Water was made public, the top leaders of the ninja world watched Skywalker's reaction closely to see how he would respond to the changes created by Wind and Water. Will you send troops directly to attack the Sand Hidden Ninja Army, or will you divide your troops and go south?
But to everyone's surprise, Skywalker didn't make any indications, and the 110,000 allied troops of the Rain Country were still training in the Rain Hidden Village as usual without leaving a single step, as if they were completely unaware of the changes in the outside world.
Skywalker's inaction made everyone scratch their heads, and anyone could see that with the official start of trade between the wind and water, the situation in the Sand Hidden Village would become more and more stable, and the advantages of the fire and rain sides would become smaller and smaller, and the price paid by Konoha to defeat the Sand Hidden would also become bigger and bigger.
Even if Skywalker intends to give up the fight, he should negotiate peace with the Wind Nation as soon as possible, and engage in commercial competition with the Water Nation in order to gain benefits from the Wind Nation through trade.
Shrinking into Yuyin Village like this to train troops is the most passive choice, which is really not in line with Skywalker's consistent style.
Many people think that Skywalker may be brewing some big moves, especially in Sand Hidden Village, they think that Skywalker wants to use this method to paralyze himself and then attack suddenly, so during this time, the security inside and outside the Sand Hidden Camp is more strict than before.
After three days of preparation, the caravans of the wind and water were finally ready.
A large fleet of merchant ships loaded with their own cargo, escorted by the ninjas of the two villages, set off from their home country and then rode the wind and waves to the country of bears.
Along the way, the ninjas of the two countries who were responsible for guarding the merchant ships were on full alert to prevent the sneak attack of the Konoha ninjas.
However, unexpectedly, there were no interception attacks, and it arrived at the destination without any problems.
While the caravans and ninjas of the two countries breathed a sigh of relief, they also had some doubts in their hearts, could it be that the Skywalker of Konoha had really given up? Even a small group of troops did not attempt to harass and intercept?
However, they soon put aside their doubts and began to make a formal transaction under the hospitality of the Bear Country.
Even in wartime, gold and grain cannot be worth exactly the same, so the gold shipped from the Wind Country far exceeds the water country's transportation limit. The size of the fleet on the Wind Country's side is also significantly smaller than that of the Water Country, and it is impossible to transport all the grain obtained from the transaction back at once.
However, in order to make full use of the capacity of the fleet, it was impossible for the two countries to return empty, so in addition to gold, the land country also brought special medicines as another important trade material for the two sides.
In addition, in order to facilitate trade, both countries rent large warehouses in Kumanokuni, which is used as a trading place, to store goods that cannot be transported for the time being.
The local merchants of the Bear Country also took this opportunity to join the trade between the two countries, reselling and transporting, and exchanging what they have. I'm afraid it won't take long for the country of bears to take advantage of this trade to develop into a trading port that is not inferior to the island of Vortex Island.
Due to the fact that the trade is going very smoothly, and the warehouse of the Bear Country is also responsible for ensuring the safety of the Star Ninja Village, coupled with the fact that the situation in the two major ninja villages is now tense and there is an urgent shortage of manpower, the wind and water gradually relaxed their vigilance, and gradually withdrew their respective ninjas, not only handing over the trade to the merchants of the two countries to complete on their own, but also handing over the task of escorting the fleet to the Star Ninja.
Half a month later, as the deal proceeded smoothly, more and more of the backlog of various commodities in the land of bears between the two countries was close to saturation, and the two sides were ready to start slowing down the frequency of trade and making every effort to transport the backlog of materials back to China.
But when the fleets of the wind and earth arrived in the land of bears to complete the last trade, an unexpected change suddenly happened!
On this day, the four generations of Star Ninja Village, on behalf of the Bear Country, announced to the entire Shinobi that they had officially formed an alliance with Konoha and seized and confiscated all the strategic materials belonging to the enemy country in the name of the Triple Alliance, even including all the merchant ships of the wind and water!
As soon as this blockbuster news came out, it really stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and the entire ninja world was in an uproar again.
More than half a month ago, the high-level leaders of various countries were secretly speculating about what kind of means Skywalker was preparing to respond to the trade cooperation between the wind and water, and as time went by, most people felt that Skywalker might really have made a bad move this time, and only a few people still believed that Skywalker must have some kind of backhand.
But no one thought that Skywalker would make an earth-shattering reversal in this form!
The sudden betrayal of the country of bears at this time not only sabotaged the trade plans of the two countries of wind and water at the bottom of the kettle, completely cutting off the lifeblood of the country of wind, but also caused huge economic losses to the two countries.
The entire ninja world knows that a single Star Ninja Village would never have the courage to do such a thing that completely offended the two great powers to death, and the timing of this betrayal was too coincidental, and it happened to obtain the greatest benefits, all of this must have been planned by Skywalker a long time ago!
Moreover, the relationship between Star Ninja Village and Konoha must have been established a long time ago, otherwise it would not have been possible to trust Konoha so much in just half a month, and even risk being besieged by Sand Hidden and Fog Hidden Village at the same time to cooperate with Skywalker's actions!
After thinking about this, everyone gasped. Skywalker has already prepared a big pit for the two countries, just waiting for them to jump into it! No wonder there was no reaction for half a month before, it turned out that he had already made complete preparations, and only after the wind and water completely fell into the pit of the bear country, he suddenly took action to bury the two countries!
Now think about the bizarre disappearance of the three generations of Star Shadow a few years ago, and the sudden ascension of the fourth generation of Star Shadow is also full of weirdness, if you want to say that this has nothing to do with Skywalker, they don't believe it if they are killed!
How can a person be so forbearant and spend so long creating such an earth-shattering situation! What's even more exaggerated is that he is like an unpredictable prophet, and he has long calculated all the reactions of many parties clearly! What a wicked scheming this is?
"Skywalker's calculations are terrifying!" Similar exclamations echoed in the hearts of almost all the top leaders.
If Rope Tree knew what everyone was thinking, he would definitely laugh. In fact, he didn't expect that Sha Yin would break the game by sea in advance.
A few years ago, he used his real clone to pretend to be the galaxy to control the entire Star Ninja Village because he took a fancy to the strategic location of the Bear Country, and it was also to clear the hidden danger for the southern border of the Fire Country, but he didn't expect it to play such a key role in this war. He is not a real immortal, and this incident is also outside the original plot, how could he think so clearly in advance.
Compared to the seriously overrated rope tree, the sand hidden sage Ebizo, who was famous in the ninja world by imitating Skywalker's strategy some time ago, has become the laughing stock of the entire ninja world at this time, and what kind of wise man is an advisor who helps the enemy bury his country and allies in a pit?
At this time, Ebizo, who had finally managed to get out of the shadow of defeat and capture, must have fainted in the toilet crying.
However, everyone still doesn't understand a little, where did the Star Ninja Village get the confidence to dare to offend the two major ninja villages like this? Are they really not afraid of reprisals? Even if the main force of Sand Hidden is now trapped in the Land of Rain and makes a flawless move, the Fog Hidden Village is not eating dry food.
Although people are now in conflict because of the competition for the position of the boss, but being stabbed in the back by Star Ninja Village like this, it is difficult to guarantee that Wuyin, who has suffered a big loss, will not temporarily put aside his prejudices because of the same hatred and hatred of the enemy, and will clean up this little Erwuzai first.
The number of soldiers in the Star Ninja Village is only one or two thousand, and if it weren't for the location of the peninsula between the three major countries, it would have been wiped out by a certain country long ago. Now that Konoha is short of troops, and there are no top masters in Star Ninja Village, Wu Yin can destroy them by sending a team of elite masters at will, right?
But I think so, but everyone will not forget the Skywalker who has no last resort, and everyone estimates that he must have arranged something.
