Chapter 148: Rain
The streets and alleys are plastered with first-class wanted documents, which were promulgated by the Daimyo of Ha no Kuni himself.
A large number of government soldiers filled the streets, and even the villages and towns in the countryside would be patrolled by soldiers.
The wanted person is named Kaisha, a fisherman from a foreign land, who is accused of disturbing the stability of the country, and if he finds it and reports it, he will be rewarded with a million taels. If Kaisha can be caught, the Daimyo Mansion will reward him with a reward of 10 million taels.
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.
A wave of search for Kaisa began.
As for the incident of going to the Daimyo's Mansion to make trouble a few days ago, under such a major reward, it has been left behind by the people.
Among them, especially the ruffians and the like, are the most active in joining the search team.
For them, whether it is a report or a wanted criminal, the bounty they get can make them happy for a long time.
Although some people spoke for Kaisha and hoped that the officials of the Daimyo Mansion would re-investigate, this part of the voice was quickly suppressed by force.
Public opinion was controlled by force, and the course of the matter was in the hands of the Daimyo of Wave Country.
At this time, the most important administrative department of a country has demonstrated unparalleled efficiency and efficiency.
Even at sea, there is a blockade on all sides, and entry and exit are strictly controlled.
On the other hand, the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Waves is also actively negotiating with the government officials of the Land of Demons on debts, but this aspect of the matter has nothing to do with the people at the bottom, and no news has been revealed.
β
Coastside.
Breathing in the misty air, the sea has become white at some point.
Kazuhime stood on the slightly damp beach, looking out at the other side of the ocean.
After a while, footsteps sounded behind him, and someone was approaching him.
Yiji didn't look back, and knew who was coming, so he said:
"Long time no see, Mr. Keisha. How's it going, are your physical injuries getting better? How does it feel to be reborn? β
"Feelings? This must be the result that Miss Ichihime has been hoping for. β
Coming to Kazuhime's side, Kaisha's badly injured body was wrapped in medical gauze, and he sighed softly.
"It seems that Mr. Kaisha has not spent these few days in prison."
Hearing Kaisha say this, Kazuhime also knew that this kind of plan full of loopholes would be discovered by the other party. Rather, this was part of the information that was meant to be revealed to Kaisha.
Kaisha glanced at the torture marks on his body and smiled bitterly.
"Thanks to you, most of my life is basically gone. However, I still want to ask, is there no other way to do it? β
Among the workers and peasants, there must be a shadow son of the land of ghosts.
Otherwise, Kazuhime's actions would not have gone so smoothly.
Neither he nor Dazna is powerless to stop this from happening right now.
Some of the workers who know the truth, in their hearts, do not allow patience any longer.
"The corpse of the superior will kill the people below. In this sentence, Mr. Kesha should not ask me, but yourself, are you willing to continue to be dominated by such a superior? β
Kazuhime turned her head and stared straight at Kaisha.
Kaisha breathed for a breath and fell silent.
Are you willing to be dominated by such a superior?
Or, is such a superior still worthy of their support?
It's a very challenging idea.
When fame and bloodline become the key to ruling a country, rather than ability and character, then the actions of such superiors must be marked with a big question mark.
Kaisha believed that after all this incident, the rest of the people did not dare to say anything, but there must have been other thoughts in the hearts of the workers.
Whether reactive or active, things are irreparable.
"But...... Even if the aristocracy is successfully overthrown, does it really work? β
This confusion appeared in Kesha's eyes.
Indeed, he was not satisfied with the actions of the nobles, and also believed that such people were no longer worthy of the love of the people.
But after overthrowing these people, the illiterate peasants and workers, what can they do to govern the country?
The result could be worse than in a country governed by the aristocracy.
This is not a pessimistic idea, but it is true.
Or will they continue to do the work of the nobles and normalize their own names and bloodlines?
No, this is just a repetition of the mistakes of the past.
That's where Kaisa is most confused.
"It's useless to overturn it. Continuing the aristocratic style is just going back to the origin of history. Changing a country's most fundamental system is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Be prepared for a long battle. Whether it is dealing with domestic or international more complex borders, this is a very severe test for the country of waves. β
Yiji said calmly.
The traditional system still occupies the mainstream of the world, and even people including Kaisha have only given birth to the idea of overthrowing the aristocracy, and they are probably full of all kinds of hesitation and unconfidence in how to build a new country.
It's a thorny path.
"yes, it's that I'm thinking too simply."
Knowing the outcome, Keisha sighed.
If you are thinking about going against the nobility, you can't think of 'going on to live your life after you are defeated'. This is not only irresponsible, but will also push the country of waves into an even more terrifying abyss.
"But don't worry too much, our Demon Nation will come to your aid. How to build a new national system, how to popularize education, open up people's wisdom, and build a new type of country that is different from the traditional country. This is what we in the country of ghosts want to do in the country of waves. β
Kazuhime said openly and honestly to Kaisha.
"Can you tell me, what is the reason? As far as I know, the country of waves does not have the power to resist the country of ghosts, and it can even be said that even people like me are not the ones who must be used. β
Keisha was self-aware.
It was an era of ninja-dominated power.
Even if he wasn't a ninja, he had seen the horror of ninjas.
The damage to the Sea Barrage Dam in the Land of Waves requires hundreds of ordinary people who don't need to be able to repair the gates, and as a result, only one ninja is needed to greatly reduce the pressure of repairing the gates.
They walk on the ground in the rapids of the sea, no matter how bad the environment, they are unimpeded.
Able to breathe flames, create streams of water, release thunder and lightning, and erect walls...... All kinds of strange abilities are breathtaking.
And the area that ninjas are best at is killing, fighting, and the sound that dominates everything in war.
A powerful ninja that can kill hundreds of ordinary people in an instant with a single blow.
This is also why, there are only thousands of ninjas who participated in the Great Ninja War, but the trauma caused to this land and the terrifying pressure on the masses are powerful destructive power that hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers may not be able to achieve.
This is the existence of the name Ninja.
The country of ghosts used the country of wind to show its own country's military strength, and the country of ghosts, which can be comparable to the military strength of the five major powers, only needs to be dispatched...... No, just the debt collector ninja force to which the Shion Flower Chamber belongs has the power to suppress the entire country of waves.
Ordinary people are like ants to ninjas.
That's where Keser doesn't understand.
With such power, the country of ghosts is enough to push down the country of waves with absolute force.
His physical fitness is only relatively good among ordinary people.
The samurai who was able to fight back against the daimyo that day, I'm afraid there are some insiders, and they didn't succeed by their own strength.
Kazuhime didn't answer immediately, but raised his arm and pointed his index finger to the other side of the sea.
Kaisha followed Kazuhime's line of sight, only to see the vast white mist on the sea, bottomless, and didn't know what Kazuhime was instructing.
"The target of the country of ghosts is not the country of waves, but this land, the country on the other side of the sea."
Hearing Kazuhime say this, Kaisha's heart shook.
The country closest to the country of waves, and the country on the other side of the sea, there is only one country in the ninja world that meets the criteria.
The first of the five great powers - the land of fire.
This is the country with the most abundant resources, the largest population, and a vast land in the ninja world.
The Konoha Ninja Village, which is interdependent with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, has won three consecutive ninja wars.
It is a well-deserved first ninja village.
Even ordinary people like Kaisha know what kind of existence the Fire Nation and Konoha are.
It is one of the most unprovoked countries in the ninja world.
Kaisha didn't know much strategy, but he also understood that the land of waves was very important to the country of ghosts. Otherwise, the country of ghosts will not go around in many circles and make the country of waves chaotic.
"In other words, the country of waves is a victim, right?"
"Not true. The Land of Fire is the ultimate goal, and the Land of Waves is the midpoint target, not optional. In the future, the country of ghosts will also need the power of the country of waves to stabilize this area. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the victim is caught between the two powers. The top brass of the government and the military have no intention of abandoning the land. β
"I want to hear about it."
Kaisha sighed.
Even though Kazuhime is just a calm narrative, Keisha knows that the country of waves has no right to refuse.
If he refused, he, including Dazna and the others, would die quietly.
Then, the Oni Nation was replaced by another group of obedient people to help them deal with the Fire Nation.
People are swords, I am fish and meat, probably such a dilemma.
"After your uprising, Mr. Kaisha, our Oni Country will provide international free assistance to the Wave Country for five years."
Kazuhime offered the reward given by the government and military of the country of ghosts.
After all, if you want to pull the country of waves into the chariot of the country of ghosts, you must not give no benefits and let the country of waves work for itself.
If it is for the purpose of oppression, then, such an alliance, the country of waves may be sold after the country of the wave changes hands.
Why is the alliance between the Ghost Country and the Fog Hidden Village unbreakable at this stage.
Although there is friendship between the two countries at the top level, friendship cannot be eaten, and everyone under his command needs a higher quality of life.
The two sides communicate with each other and stick to the same front, which is a reliable way for friendship to last forever.
Unilateral supply, such an alliance, sooner or later there will be problems.
In the past, the country of ghosts needed to do what the country of waves had to do, and now, the country of ghosts naturally had to pay the country of waves, so that the country of waves could join the camp of the country of ghosts without complaint and stick to the same front.
"Gratuitous assistance?"
Kaisha didn't seem to expect such a condition from Kazuhime, or the Oni Country, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Excuse me, is it pro bono assistance in all areas?"
"Not exactly. Such international gratuitous assistance is limited to the fields of agricultural technology, industrial technology, education, medical care, etc. Military aid, on the other hand, is paid aid. In addition, the non-reimbursable assistance is not indefinite, and the duration is five years. In the past five years, the Oni Nation has improved the agricultural and industrial technology, schools, and medical fields of the Wave Country for free, and the same is true. β
"Five years?"
"Yes, gratuitous assistance for a period of five years. Five years later, if the country of waves wants to get international aid from the country of ghosts, it will be paid aid, not free aid, just like military aid. β
Even so, the five-year-long gratuitous aid is no less than a pie-in-the-sky good thing for the country of waves.
In every respect, this is the path to a strong country.
As a man at the bottom, Kaisha knows very well what the country of waves lacks.
What the Oni Country supports for free is the part of the country that is most lacking.
"The conditions have been opened, and the weapons developed in the early stage will be provided by our side. Including public opinion building, we will also choose the Aster Flower Chamber of Commerce to fully cooperate. As for international pressure, there is no need to be too concerned. The Land of Thunder is currently an ally of the Land of Demons, the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth are beyond the reach of the Nation of Whip, the Land of Water is diplomatically conservative, and the Land of Fire will soon be overwhelmed with its own affairs, which is a godsend for both of us. β
Kazuhime outlined his future plans, including the environment that he might face internationally, and all of them were predicted.
The purpose of not using ninjas as combat power is to avoid escalating the battle. Otherwise, with the current country of waves, there is no way to withstand the collision of the military forces of the two powers.
Keisha didn't know if Kazuhime's prediction would come true, but there was no way back for the workers led by him.
"Well, happy cooperation, Miss Kazuhime."
"Well, nice to work with."
β
Konoha 47 years, February, early to the first half of the year.
Land of Rain.
A heavily armed ninja force is shuttling through the rain at breakneck speed.
On the face, on the body, wet with the rain.
The chill in the air couldn't stop this ninja force in the slightest.
The number of this ninja force is about eight hundred.
Judging from the neat queue and the uniform of the ninjas, they are not mercenaries from the underground black market, but regular ninja troops affiliated with a certain country.
With such a neat queue and no long training, it is difficult for them to maintain it all the time in such a high-speed marching situation.
However, unlike the ninja troops cultivated by the ninja village, generally speaking, the ninjas who belong to the ninja village will wear forehead guards that mark their identity and position.
However, in the Warring States period before the era of one country and one village, ninjas of different camps did not wear forehead guards to distinguish them.
Instead, use the family crest.
The Warring States period was an era when the ninja clan was rampant.
If the position is uncertain, countries can hire them and fight for themselves at their own expense.
Just like the Uchiha clan, who were once employed by the Land of Thunder, the cooperative relationship with the Land of Fire is not close.
It was only because of the alliance with the Thousand Hands clan that the Konoha Ninja Village was established in the Land of Fire.
Therefore, during the Warring States period, the family crest was the most important symbol to distinguish the ninja camp.
The same is true for this ninja force of about 800 people.
They don't wear the ninja forehead guards, which are very popular in the modern era, and only the family crest is on their uniform ninja uniform.
It was a family crest that only the Daimyo of the Fire Nation had.
It also means that they are the private ninja army of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation, and they are under the orders of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation.
Even though the ninja village is a symbol of the country's military strength, the national daimyo who aspires to power and power does not put his eggs in one basket.
Ninja Village can be relied on, but it can't rely on Ninja Village for everything.
Therefore, the daimyo prefecture, led by the five major powers, assisted in the establishment of the ninja village and vigorously cultivated their own private army.
However, due to the lack of the ninja clan's blood inheritance limit and secret art inheritance, the ninja private army directly belonging to the daimyo of the five major countries will be weak in combat effectiveness compared to the regular ninja troops in the ninja village.
However, this weakness is only relative to the ninja villages of the five major countries.
In the face of the small country ninja village, as well as the underground black market, the private army of ninjas under the command of the five great daimyo is not an easy existence.
Without such a private armed force, the daimyo of the five great powers would not have maintained the power of the monarch within their own countries.
But taking out a ninja private army of 800 people, in order to suppress Yuyin Village, the Daimyo of the Fire Country was also distressed for a long time.
Although 800 ninjas are far from the total number of private armies in the hands of the Daimyo's Mansion, they are also poured into most of the ninja power of the Daimyo's Mansion.
Therefore, the whole team launched a surprise operation, and only succeeded and did not fail.
The ninjas' faces were only solemn and cold, and they didn't say a word, which made the atmosphere even more oppressive on a cloudy day when it rained.
The lightning and thunder in the sky seemed to indicate that it was an unquiet twilight.
Night falls.
- A huge battleship located on the river, it is an aircraft carrier warship docked in the land of rain in the country of ghosts.
Metal objects like mechanical birds, like flying ninjas, soar freely in the sky, and shuttle freely between lightning.
This is a mechanical bird scout integrated with the aircraft carrier, which is used to keep an eye on the movement of the enemy's troops, and transmits it to the aircraft carrier's monitoring room remotely through special signals, which is more accurate than a large-scale perception ninjutsu. The accuracy of the information is second only to the detection ability of the white eye.
But the reconnaissance range is larger than that of the white eye.
About 800 chakra life reaction sources are displayed on the screen in a monitoring room full of futuristic mechanics.
This force, approaching the front-line camp of Yuyin Village, intends to annihilate all the living forces of Yuyin Village with one blow, and end all disputes here at lightning speed.
Twenty-one of them had a very abnormal chakra reaction, and their strength far exceeded that of the rest of the ninjas.
"In terms of the strength of the chakra alone, it has reached the standard of upper ninja."
In the aircraft carrier monitoring room, the staff in charge of monitoring said calmly.
In this ninja force, there are twenty-one people whose chakra strength is abnormal.
Twenty-one Shangnin.
It is nothing on the battlefield of a great power, and it is impossible to tilt the weight of a large-scale war.
But on the battlefield of a small country, twenty-one Shangninja is enough to dominate the course of a war.
Such a strong army, in terms of the strength of a small country, is absolutely impossible to resist.
In addition, on the monitoring screen, there is another station with a very dense source of chakra reaction.
The number of chakra reaction sources far exceeded eight hundred.
The number of ninjas reached more than one thousand and five hundred.
In terms of quantity, it can also be seen that this is not a force that Yuyin Village can come up with, and the ninja forces of the Ghost Country have already shrunk on the aircraft carrier warship and several frigates.
Outside, there is only the wandering shrine maiden who is in charge of intelligence gathering.
Therefore, where such a larger ninja force comes from, or whether it will appear at such a critical time, there is only one possibility left - Konoha Ninja Village.
In order to prevent the country of ghosts from upsetting the balance, the Konoha ninja troops stationed in the western part of the country of fire stepped on the point in advance to contain the ninja troops of the country of ghosts, so as to prevent the country of ghosts from providing actual military assistance to Yugaku.
If the country of ghosts plans to do that, then these 1,500 Konoha ninjas will all be pressed down and fight with the country of ghosts on this big river.
It also means that the Fire Country is indeed forced to a desperate situation, and even considers the possibility of a full-scale war with the Ghost Country.
"The Fire Country, which is worthy of being the head of the Five Great Powers, still has the will to fight when necessary."
The ninja commander in the monitoring room sighed softly.
The ninja troops of the Oni no Kuni will not move, and the Konoha ninja troops will not move.
Once the Oni Country makes a move, Konoha will be ready for an all-out war with the Oni Country.
Even the Wind Country in the southwest may take corresponding measures to contain the forces of the Ghost Country.
It is nothing more than the start of the fourth ninja war.
On the contrary, if the ninjas of the Oni no Kuni do not watch from the wall, the power of Konoha will also die down, and it will evolve into a contest between the Daimyo Mansion of the Fire Country and the Rain Hidden Village.
Whether or not to start the Fourth Ninja World War is only a matter of the thoughts of the high-level leaders of the Oni Country.
"The courage is commendable, but this war does not need to be done by ourselves. The people of Konoha don't need to pay attention, just let them keep it. Now inform Yuyin's side that the operation can be launched, and at one o'clock, cover the strike with aerial fire at a position of ten kilometers. β
The ninja commander of the Oni no Kuni gives the order.
"Yes."
The headset-wearing communicator nodded heavily and tapped the keyboard to relay the message to the camp ahead of Yuyin.
β¦β¦
Thunder and lightning.
The rumbling thunder pierced through the gloomy clouds and resounded across the land.
The rain soaked everyone's body, but everyone walked in unison and with the same goal, crossing the plains and wastelands at high speed.
No matter how complex the environment is, it is not worth mentioning for ninjas.
"Hurry up, before seven o'clock in the evening, according to the order of the Daimyo, the battle must be ended!"
The leading ninja's face was calm.
On his body, there was a tyrannical chakra aura.
The bewitching red chakra, covered on the surface of his body, with the power of the forbidden medicine, made him easily step into the ranks of the upper ninja.
I have a lot of confidence in the power I have now.
No matter who stood in his way, it seemed that he could easily tear to shreds.
Such an invincious desire swelled in my heart arose.
The feeling of increasing his strength was very good, and he liked the feeling of getting stronger.
With such a self, he may be able to wrestle his wrist with the strongest five shadows in the ninja world. The ninja, who was in the lead, suddenly had such an idea.
Because of the sudden acquisition of such a powerful power, the state of mind naturally became different.
When he had this idea, suddenly something came from a distance, which made him subconsciously raise his head and look for something in the sky.
At first he was looking, and then, as if induced, more people began to search.
Then, more than 800 ninjas, with the help of sensitive ear power, all discovered the location of the sound.
The air shook uneasily, like a piece of hard, cold iron crashing into the body, and for some reason, the body became extremely heavy.
First there is a black dot, then a second black dot, followed by a third black dot.
More black dots appeared, rapidly growing larger in the narrow line of sight.
The trajectory that flew in the sky was like tearing a dark rift in the air, and it had not healed for a long time.
"That's ...... Flying Ninja? β
The leading ninja discovers the true face of those black spots.
Flying from the sky were twenty flying ninjas.
On each flying ninja, there is a rain ninja piloting and controlling.
"What, do you think we're the Sand Ninja of the Land of Wind?"
The lead ninja scoffed.
Besides, the Sand Hidden Village of the Land of the Wind was only caught off guard by the flying ninja of the Oni Country at the beginning because of its lack of experience in dealing with the enemy.
However, now that all the five major powers have introduced such flying ninjas, the advantages and disadvantages of flying ninja are all clear at a glance.
The weapon loaded on it, but it's still kunai, or it's tied to the kunai with an initiating charm and projected downward, and the destructive power is actually far inferior to ninjutsu. It's just that it occupies the advantage of the air.
As long as the personnel are dispersed a little, this kind of flying ninja is actually far less harmful than it is rumored.
In terms of reconnaissance of the enemy's situation, flying ninja equipment is worthy of recognition.
The lead ninja gestured and was about to disperse the troops, when the sound of breaking the air sounded in his ears.
Under the light of rain and lightning, the things that were launched from the flying ninja were glittering, emitting the characteristic luster of metal.
"It's not kunai and detonators......
What flew out of the flying ninja was not a combination of kunai and detonation charms.
Rather, metal marbles.
All I felt was the faint breath of chakra.
Something like that...... What is it?
Use this to defeat them?
No one answered this question.
The lead ninja condensed a red chakra feather coat with red chakra bubbles on it, and a chakra tail extending from the back of his buttocks.
He rushed forward as fast as lightning.
"No kidding, with this toyβ"
The red chakra tail swept away, trying to sweep away the two metal marbles that flew towards him like garbage.
His voice stopped abruptly.
Engulfed by the sudden sound of a terrorist explosion.
The flames from the explosion pierced through the chakra feather coat on his body, shattering his body like tattered strips of cloth falling from the sky.
Most of his body was gone.
Even the feather cloak of the tailed beast Chakra was as fragile as tissue paper in the violent explosion.
The rain hidden ninja in the sky above will not stop attacking with this scene.
With this as a signal, more metal marbles rained down from the flying ninja. Not one by one, but a flying ninja instantly launched more than a dozen of these metal marbles.
There were a total of twenty flying ninja equipment here, and in just an instant, more than 300 metal explosive bombs were scattered from the sky.
Scream, scream, scream.
Screams could be heard everywhere.
The ninja sword shattered into pieces and scattered in the air.
The same is true of the flesh slices with blood, not one or two people, not a dozen people, but hundreds of ninjas, who were baptized by the meat grinder in an instant, and under the terrifying explosion power of the metal bomb, they couldn't even maintain the counterattack.
Under the cover of dense firepower, it was directly forgotten how to fight.
By the time he reacted, the man had already flown into the air, his body shattered, and his hands and feet were gone.
Even if he was lucky enough to stand in the distance, he was bounced out by the strong shock wave generated by the explosion, and the ribs in his chest were broken. Before he could exit the battlefield, marbles fell beside him and were engulfed in flames.
Overwhelming fire coverage, and under the precise control of artificial, whether it is centralized coverage or scattered coverage, for the enemy, it is a nightmare that does not want to wake up.
It was as if there was an earth dragon rolling in the earth, and the explosion of flames from the explosion, as well as the terrifying shock wave, rolled the earth over and over again.
Scraping the ground is not enough to describe such a scene.
At this time, not to mention fighting back with ninjutsu, whether you can find a safe point on the ground to stand on is a debatable question.
It seems that some switch has been activated, and the sky and the earth are flashing black and white.
This is an explosive force that the detonation charm cannot reach.
Thunder and lightning, dark clouds in the sky, the mechanical bird ruthlessly glanced at the ninjas of the Fire Country who were being slaughtered on the earth, and recorded what happened here one by one with mechanical eyes and indifference.
