Chapter 134: Annihilation
The Land of Rainbows.
In a palatial castle-style villa in the mountainsβ
"Damn the country of ghosts, they have united the ninjas of the land of thunder, the land of earth, and the country of water to exterminate us! If this continues, the alliance will perish! β
The majestic man's voice sounded, but at the moment it sounded angry and out of shape, without the detached posture of a calm and calm businessman.
It is no wonder that the Lonely Island, a merchant paradise established by countless merchants of all sizes in the ninja world, was directly hit by the devastating blow of the Oni Country without having time to react.
Also involved in the destruction of the islands are three of the five powers, the Land of Thunder, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Water.
Although the Fire Country and the Wind Country did not intervene in it, and even they had a relationship with the high-level officials of the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country, this time the relationship had not had time to digest it, and this kind of accident happened, which can be imagined The anger and depression in the heart.
Because of the need to build a second merchant paradise in the country of waves, some of the merchants on the isolated island have begun to move towards the territory of the country of waves.
Therefore, when the isolated island was destroyed that day, they who were far away in the country of waves, but they were not captured by the country of ghosts and other countries, and successfully escaped.
But when they learned the news of the destruction of the isolated island, they did not think about how to retaliate at the first time, but were shocked and panicked.
Then he couldn't wait to lead his subordinates, and fled from the country of waves very quickly and decisively, so as not to be attacked by the ninjas of the country of ghosts who entered the country of waves.
It wasn't until they fled to the hidden stronghold of the Rainbow Country that they calmed down a little and no longer fled in a hurry like before.
Relieving their anger, they also began to gather the remnants of the merchant alliance and reunite in an attempt to make a comeback, and even to take revenge on the Oni no Kuni and other countries that destroyed their alliance.
Of course, confronting the ninja forces of these countries head-on is just a dead end.
They weren't stupid enough to immediately retaliate.
Even if you want to get revenge, it's never something that can be done overnight.
Now they have only one purpose for the meeting, and that is to disappear the tail as soon as possible and temporarily hide from the wanted of countries such as the Oni Country.
As for those companies on the surface, they have also been jointly seized by several countries and have been completely divided, and their assets on the surface have also been cut into cakes by the shrine maidens of the Oni Country, as well as the daimyo and nobles of the three major countries. The ninja villages affiliated with the three major countries can also get enough development funds from them as a reward for their actions.
There was not the slightest power to resist.
What is left in their hands now is a force in the darkness that is difficult for outsiders to trace.
They can make effective use of these resources and become the basis for their comeback.
As long as there is such wealth, they are not truly destroyed.
There are too many greedy daimyo and nobles in this ninja world, and there will always be people who will take risks to cooperate with them, to plunder wealth, and trample on all the laws of the human world.
Therefore, networking is not a problem.
The only thing to worry about is that they should be more careful and careful in their future actions, and they should also think clearly about cooperation with major powers, and they should not act hastily.
"There's no way around it, but it's a good thing to be able to escape. Next, all the companies on the bright side are abandoned, and there can be no more involvement. β
Once they make contact with the forces on the surface, they can easily be tracked down by countries such as the Oni Country.
The ninja world says that it is not big, and it is not small when it is small.
In particular, three of the five major powers participated in the encirclement and suppression operation, and with the huge influence displayed by these countries, most of the ninja world will be shrouded in it.
Therefore, it can only be dormant.
The company on the surface obviously can't be contacted anymore, and once the position is revealed, the last seed of the alliance will also be extinct.
Although it was very distressing, the big businessmen here knew the seriousness of the matter and had no objection to this decision.
"The next step is to find a place to hide for a while. Do you have any good suggestions? β
A businesswoman in her fifties asked.
"It's true that the Land of Rainbows is safe, but it's close to the Land of Water, but which country do you want to go to for a hidden ......?"
The merchants made a difficulty.
The east is the sphere of influence of the country of thunder and the country of water, the country of earth in the north, and the influence of the country of ghosts in the west is also not to be underestimated, although the country of wind will not attack them, but with the strength of the country of wind now, I am afraid it is not enough to compete with the country of ghosts.
Then the only places you can choose are the southern countries of the ninja world.
Moreover, there are many uninhabited islands in the southern seas, which are very suitable for hiding.
The problem is that they don't have a lot of roots there, and if they go there to try to grow, they need to rebuild their network.
"For us, secrecy should come first. You can't spend too much time in the Rainbow Country, and it's easy to be exposed to the Water Country. β
"Well, then, let's go south. The influence of several countries, such as the country of ghosts, has not yet radiated. β
"South? Well, in the current state of affairs, it is indeed appropriate. It is that the foundation needs to be re-established, but it is not difficult, as long as our wealth is still there, it will not take a few years to rebuild the network. Moreover, this time we must not only build a stronger alliance of chambers of commerce, but also master a more powerful military force than the island! β
A businessman's eyes gleamed with a terrifying glint of ambition, and his fists clenched fiercely.
The joint operation of the Oni Country taught them a very important lesson in their lives, in the past, they were too focused on accumulating wealth, believing that they only needed to make friends with the great powers, and they did not need to focus on training ninjas.
In the end, ninjas are just tools used to give them fun, and they don't care much about it, they just need to recruit some ninjas to protect themselves.
However, it was precisely because of their naΓ―ve thinking that they were destroyed with lightning speed under the joint attack of several countries.
The Oni Country has proved with practical actions that their ninja escort team established by the nature of play is nothing more than a chicken and a dog in front of the real ninja troops, and they are vulnerable.
There is no formed education system, and there is no militarized training and discipline, and it is okay to bully ordinary people, but once you meet a ninja from a ninja village, a huge hole in the quality appears.
"Ninja Village? This is not an institution that can be established in one fell swoop, it takes time, and there are a lot of professionals and knowledge. β
How to set up a company to make money, as businessmen, they are very handy.
But with the structure of the ninja village, they don't have much experience with this.
It's not about recruiting enough ninjas, gathering together, and building a huge tribe that can be called a ninja village.
The reason why Ninja Village is a Ninja Village is because of the accumulation of heritage.
In the case of the original Konoha Ninja Village, it was a village established as a ninja unit.
These ninjas are the true essence of Konoha Village.
Many formed ninjutsu systems, a large number of ninjutsu research literature, these knowledge can be used to open ninja schools, with mature ninja education institutions, to train more ninjas, so that they have a sense of identity with the village, not relying on the cold interest relationship of money.
These are the most fundamental reasons why Ninja Village was established.
Heritage.
The Thousand Hands Clan, the Uchiha Clan, the Hyuga Clan, the Pig Deer Butterfly Clan, and the rest of the large and small ninja clans, the literature of these ninja clans is fundamental.
And these are things that are difficult for merchants to buy with more money.
Otherwise, even with sufficient funds, without these knowledge and talents as a foundation, the establishment of the Ninja Village is just a dream.
Even the military of the Oni Country is a ninja-like military organization established based on the knowledge of the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan and the Uzumaki clan.
Otherwise, no matter how good the idea is, without these backgrounds as support, it will not be able to improve at all.
This is a fact that businessmen have to seriously consider.
In the past, they only focused on the fun nature of ninjas, and as for the establishment of a formal ninja training institution, they did not have such a mind, nor did they want to invest in this area and waste money.
The Merchant Alliance is not a state, it is a merchant organization, and it does not need any ninja village to rely on.
Money is power.
But now, the establishment of the ninja village is really imperative.
Because no matter how much money they have, if they don't have a strong force to protect them, then sooner or later, this money will leave them.
"Let's talk about these things when we settle down, it's too far to say this."
A merchant sighed.
They used to be powerful in the business world, but they will also encounter any problems.
Ninja Village is not something that can be run with enough money.
They are all from commercial families, and there are very few ninjutsu materials collected in the family, and the system is messy, patchwork, and they can't do it at all.
As for finding a wandering ninja...... The reason why wandering ninjas are wandering ninjas is not only because they have no fixed residence, but also because they don't have a ninja village background, they rely on stealing everything, and they learn low-level ninjutsu, so it's hard to have any big names.
Even exiled ninjas who defected were stronger than these wandering ninjas.
The problem is that the uncontrollable factors of the exiled ninja are too great to invest in as a last resort.
"By the way, what about that guy from Miya Castle? It's all this time, doesn't he even dare to show up? β
A businessman finally remembered the arms dealer who was absent from every meeting and expressed his displeasure.
"When that guy heard that the island was destroyed, he would have already clipped his tail and hid. A few days ago, I sent a messenger to offer condolences, but I didn't hear from him. It's better not to contact him. After all, this stronghold was provided by him, and according to him, it was very hidden, and the people of the Ghost Country couldn't find it here for a while, so they could live with confidence. β
Another businessman explained dryly.
The rest of the merchants shrugged helplessly, the dead merchant Miya Chengyan was a cautious and greedy guy who was afraid of death, and they naturally knew each other's temperament as partners in the past.
Now that something has happened to the alliance again, that guy must be planning to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and he doesn't dare to take the lead.
This is also good to save the possibility of exposure.
"Okay, don't contact him for the time being, and when you settle down, send someone to contact him. Now let's make a plan for moving south, let's discuss whether to take the land route or the sea routeβ"
Airplanes!
A low vibration sound, after shaking the huge luxury villa, was delayed for a moment, and then erupted with a terrifying bang.
"W-What's going on!?"
Some businessmen did not sit still, and people fell directly from their chairs to the ground, looking flustered, their hearts beating fiercely, turning to look around, and the huge chandelier at the ceiling also flashed one by one, making the environment of the conference room flickering and dark, which was very scary.
Because of that terrible explosion, the chandelier was in poor contact.
β
"What, it looks so luxurious, but it turns out to be as fragile as tofu, so I guess the workers cut corners during construction."
A girl as young as twelve stood in front of the wall.
A large hole appeared in the wall leading to the huge castle villa, and a different path was created, under the foot of the maiden, in an instant.
Rather than entering through the gate, it is more time-saving to come in from here.
The boy had long black hair and a shawl, a small face that looked cold, and a sword at his waist that was slightly long for the girl's body.
If there are people who know the goods, they will know that the true origin of this sword is a divine weapon that one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru, collected in the past - the Kusanagi Sword.
This girl is none other than Kazuhime.
She took a cruise ship from the country of waves to return to the country of ghosts, but changed the route on the way, passing through the country of rainbows and returning to the port of the country of ghosts by sea in the country of water.
The reason why he passed through the Rainbow Country was that he planned to return to the Oni Country and deal with the last remnants of the Merchant Alliance.
Neither she nor Shiraishi had any intention of letting the tiger return to the mountain.
Although these merchants have no wealth and no force, if they are left alone, sooner or later they will also bring some trouble to the country of ghosts.
And the trouble, of course, can be saved, there is no need to toss back and forth in the future.
"W-Who!?"
After Kazuhime smashed the walls of the castle villa with her foot, she immediately attracted the scolding of the ninja guarding the villa.
They came running from their posts and looked at the uninvited guest with unkind eyes.
"You are already surrounded by me, if you surrender obediently, maybe you can suffer a little less flesh and skin."
Kazuhime stepped forward calmly and said to the ninjas who looked unkind.
"Damn, it's not ashamed to break into here! Take down this stinky girl for me! β
The leader ninja was annoyed and pointed his finger at Ichihime, and the ninja who ordered him to come forward and arrest Ichihime.
The two ninjas immediately stepped forward and rushed towards Ichihime, preparing to take Ichihime.
Ichihime turned slightly sideways, and a ninja missed and brushed past Ichihime, stumbling in his footsteps.
"What?"
I didn't expect Kazuhime to be able to react to his speed at all, and to open it easily.
"That's it! Stinky girl! β
With a cruel smile on his face, the other ninja took out the kunai and swung it at Kazuhime's body.
Kazuhime calmly raised her arm, already holding a short-barreled flintlock pistol in her hand, and did not choose to shoot, but also skillfully turned her body sideways, brushing it away from Kunai's eyes, and then the raised arm fell down like a blade, as fast as lightning.
Bang!
The hard butt of the gun smashed into the ninja's head.
The ninja's eyes immediately went dark, and before he could even scream, he was knocked out by the butt of the gun.
The ninja behind Ichihime was stunned for a moment, then ran over even more angrily and attacked from behind.
Click.
The sound of a bullet being loaded.
The arm is bent, and the muzzle is back.
Electricity and fire burst out of the muzzle, and the ninja who sneaked up from behind was shot by a bullet.
Rumble!
The bullet touched the ninja's body, and instead of penetrating his body, it turned into a huge ball of fire, producing a fireball effect similar to the Howe Fireball Technique, blasting the ninja out, his body was scorched black, and his body lay on the ground twitching, basically leaving only one breath left.
All this happened in an extreme time, and the surrounding ninjas exclaimed, and the leader ninja also seemed to know that Kazuhime was not an ordinary person, and his expression became solemn, and he no longer looked at Kazuhime with contempt.
"The weapons in this stinky girl's hand are not ordinary, give them all to me, take her down!"
"Did the negotiation fail? Sure enough, I wasn't very suitable to be a lobbyist, so I had to use another way to explain the reason. β
Seeing all the ninjas pounce on him, Kazuhime knew that this negotiation could be said to have ended in failure.
However, Kazuhime was not discouraged, after all, she had another alternative negotiation plan in mind.
This set of negotiation plans will definitely succeed.
Although the process will be a bit violent and bloody.
But to make things turn out the way you want them to be considered to have made up for it.
So, there was a bright red light in his eyesβ
Three magatama appeared in the eyes.
"Write the wheel! It's a writing wheel! She's a ninja of the Uchiha clan! β
The leader ninja saw the change in Kazuhime's eyes and immediately shouted in fear.
As a famous family in the ninja world, the history of the Uchiha clan can even be traced back to before the founding of the Five Great Powers.
The history of the development of this ethnic group has a deeper historical heritage than that of the five major countries.
Not only in the past, but even now, the name of the Uchiha clan is like thunder.
After all, a few months ago, the patriarch of the Uchiha clan of another faction made a great show on the battlefield of the Land of Winds, summoning towering giants with the power of one person, and annihilating thousands of sand hidden ninjas.
Such power has long exceeded the imagination of ordinary people for ninjas.
Even though the Uchiha clan of Konoha has completely declined, the ninjas have awakened the awe of the Uchiha and the Sharingan in their consciousness because of this power.
Because, Uchiha is synonymous with power.
And ninjas, because they can use chakra to use ninjutsu, are constantly pursuing great power.
For ninjas, the name Uchiha has a very special meaning, and it is not just a simple existence of a wealthy family.
Not only that, but the Uchiha clan of Konoha has declined, and only one single seedling remains.
And the identity of a woman, it can't be the Uchiha Itachi who defected to Konoha.
So, it can be imagined which side this Uchiha ninja who came to the door belonged to.
The Uchiha clan of the Oni Country.
And, most importantly, the boss behind them is currently in a completely hostile relationship with the country of ghosts.
"It's best to know the name of the Uchiha, rest assured, it only takes a moment to be enough."
The ninjas surrounded him, and before they could get close to Ichihime's body, a terrifying chakra erupted from the center of Ichihime's body, gushing out from the body in a materialized form visible to the naked eye.
Skeleton.
Meridians.
Flesh and blood.
Combine in a short split second.
Legend has it that only the power of the kaleidoscope chakra can comprehend the art of destroying the god - Susa Nenghu, easily under the call of Kazuhime's chakra, successfully condensed and became her combat tool.
The body of the fiery samurai like magma emitted a very brilliant amber light, making the surrounding air seem to be burned by flames, turning this space into an extremely terrifying steamer area.
"W-What is this!?"
"How can there be such a horrible thing!?"
"Run! It's impossible to win! β
It's not a flashy giant samurai, as long as you have a little eyesight, you should know that that the huge samurai is a collection of chakras condensed with a huge amount of chakra.
Materializing the chakra and condensing it into this horrific scale, the ninjas were shocked and uneasy, feeling that their outlook on life had been destroyed and reshaped.
Is this kind of power really something that ninjas can exert themselves?
Uchiha ......
Writing Wheel Eye......
At this moment, the ninjas understood why the Uchiha family was called synonymous with strength.
This is the power of the God of Destruction that makes their souls tremble with fear.
The magma warrior's mere presence there turned the space into a hot hell, and the blood in his body began to ache hot, and he was in agony.
Not to mention fighting, standing in front of such a terrifying existence would drain the strength of their whole body.
So much so that they can't raise a sense of resistance in their hearts.
I just want to run instinctively, stay away from here, and run as far away as possible.
When they had this kind of consciousness, Kazuhime just stood in place, and as soon as his consciousness moved, the huge magma warrior began to move, his hands clenched into fists, raised them to the sky, and then, with all his might, smashed down to the ground.
The moment the fist came into contact with the ground, the ground exploded directly.
Smoke, gravel, and storms that can blow people away swept in all directions.
The scorching breath of magma also spewed out of the surroundings, eroding the air to every corner, making it even harder for people to breathe here.
When everything calmed down, the magma warrior disappeared from Kazuhime's body, leaving only dust scattered in front of him, and ninjas lying in the ruins.
They wailed and screamed, all of them lost their strength to resist, and not a single one of them died.
It is conceivable that this is the result of Yiji's deliberate control.
She also has quite perfect control over her own strength, and she will not be like when she was a child, she can't control the power in her body, she can only use violence indiscriminately, and in the eyes of a real strong person, her whole body is flawed.
Now she is completely different from the past.
The ninja of the Oni Country, who had arrived belatedly, ran over out of breath after the battle, and the corners of his eyes twitched fiercely as he looked at the mess in this place.
What the hell is going on to make such a big hole in the villa.
The land was ravaged and miserable.
Judging from the scorching breath remaining in the air, did he use some super-large range of fire escape ninjutsu?
However, looking at the injuries of the ninjas, there seems to be no obvious burn marks.
The ninja of the country of ghosts can only sigh, worthy of being the daughter of that adult.
It also lived up to the name 'monster'.
"The battle is over here, so I'm going to get the merchants. and they will be handed over to you. β
Kazuhime said, pointing to the fallen ninja.
"Them?"
The leader of the Oni no Kuni Shinobu hesitated.
"Isn't there still a shortage of manpower for railway construction in China? These people were brought back for labor reform, and it just happened to grind the banditry on these people, and they didn't look like a ninja at all. Those who don't know think it's a robber. β
Kazuhime looked at the fallen ninjas and knew that these ninjas were thugs trained by the Merchant Alliance, and often did some nonsense things.
Therefore, the gangsterism on his body is very serious, which makes Yiji dislike it very much.
And because they have been oppressed by merchants for a long time, they are full of servility, and it is estimated that they do not even have an independent personality.
"Yes."
Thinking about the future development plan of the Oni no Kuni, it is true that there is a shortage of manpower to build the railway, and the supervisors there often complain about the lack of manpower, hoping that more people will be sent from above.
These captives can be immediately upgraded to high-level labor, which can save a lot of time and money. Those supervisors probably don't complain about the lack of manpower every day.
The problem here is solved, and Kazuhime heads towards the deep area of the villa.
All the way to the conference room where the merchants gathered, these merchants had long lost the high-spirited posture of the time, and they were restless in the conference room, waiting for the trial.
As a result, Yi Ji, who originally wanted to find a prestige object and quiet them down, had to stop boringly.
"Are there any merchants who have wandered outside and have not returned? If you don't say it, you can choose one of them, thunder or fire. β
Kazuhime asked sharply.
As he spoke, fierce blue thunder and lightning danced on the palms of his two hands, as well as violent flames, which made the merchants' eyelids jump fiercely.
A merchant walked out and said tremblingly, "There is another person, Miya Joyan did not come, he is an arms dealer in the black market. β
By this point, the situation is already clear.
The people of the Oni Country found them, and if they didn't want to suffer from flesh and skin, they had to betray their companions.
Pampered and pampered, they don't like to be tortured, and they can't hold on anyway, so it's better to suffer less, at least they'll be okay for the time being.
"Miya Castle Flame? Don't worry about that guy, the news of your meeting here is from him to the country of ghosts. β
Yiji removed the electric light in his hand, and it seemed that there was no more fish that had slipped through the net, and the task was successfully completed.
As for Miya Castle Flame, there are more death-fearing ghosts in a secret stronghold than his subordinates, as long as he wants to hide, it is estimated that no one in this ninja world will be able to catch him.
In terms of life, he can hide more than his own old man.
Moreover, there is no need to unload the mill and kill the donkey in the country of ghosts, after all, the other party is also half a collaborator of the country of ghosts. There is no need to hold on to some small black spots on his body all day.
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing Kazuhime's answer, the merchants' faces instantly became extremely complicated.
In my heart, I directly greeted the whole family of Yuya Chengyan, including the eighteen generations of my ancestors.
