29: All-out war
"Daddy's management skills are very good, and he is so dedicated and dedicated, even with my modern philosophy, I can't compare to him."
Zhou Xuan often thinks so.
Sometimes he even felt that the Uzumaki Dragon was the best choice for the Fire Nation Daimyo, at least if he was the Daimyo, the Fire Nation would definitely be in a much better situation than it was now.
He decided to wait for the situation in Vortex Village to settle down, and then ask his father to establish the Vortex Country in advance.
The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and the name of the Fire Country is not worthy of the position, and the Vortex clan has no reason to keep him as a courtier.
Perhaps because of the fact that his second son was mediocre, after returning from the imperial capital, Uzumaki Dragon no longer had too high expectations for Zhou Xuan, so he threw him into the guard and stocked him, leaving any important matters to Mito or Ashina to deal with.
Zhou Xuan couldn't be happier with this, he felt that it was good to be an idler, and he had a lot of time to tinker with his unknown secrets and make a fortune quietly.
However, Zhou Xuan is only idle on the surface, and everyone in the guard team sees him sleeping lazily every day, but they don't know that he is doing a lot of things behind his back, in addition to spending half of his time every day to fuse his eyes, he also has to understand the situation in the Fire Country through the shadow clone eyeliner that is installed.
Thanks to the armistice agreement signed by the Daimyo Bureau, the Fire Nation has indeed been at peace recently, and the major ninja clans have died down one after another, honestly shrinking into their own lands, and no longer fighting everywhere as they did in the past.
But instead of taking this lightly, Zhou Xuan became more vigilant, knowing very well that the war could not be stopped so easily.
The daimyo is kidnapping the ninja tribes with morality to truce war, but you can't stand some ninja tribes just have no morality, and the current peace is very false and suppressed.
Once the period of repression has passed, there will be a strong backlash, and the war that breaks out will only be more terrible!
……
Time passes like water.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
After a month of repression, some of the small ninja tribes took the lead in becoming restless, turning into bandits and raiding certain villages and towns.
The wealth that is directly snatched is the simplest, and there is no reason for wealth to be in the hands of the weak, and it is the law of nature that the law of the jungle is the law of nature.
The daimyo realized that this was a very bad sign, and immediately issued a critical statement, but unfortunately those little ninja clans were disguised when they committed the crime, and there was no substantive evidence, so they refused to admit it.
Half a month has passed.
There are more and more restless little ninjas, and the critical statements of the daimyo are becoming more and more severe.
Another half a month later.
There was a conflict of interests between the small ninja clans, which evolved from a small conflict to a bloody conflict, and the situation in the Fire Country was tense in an instant.
The daimyo ordered both sides of the conflict to stop immediately.
Another half a month passed.
The situation in the Land of Fire is completely out of control, and the whole country is completely collapsed.
The big ninja clan intervened in the battle of the small ninja clan, and the whole body was moved, and the ninja clan, who had already had grievances and hatred before, completely spread their hands and feet, and they couldn't wait to beat the other party's dog brains out.
The daimyo's stern orders were drowned in the flames of war.
"It's not easy to hold on for two months."
Zhou Xuan sighed and sighed, there is one thing to say, the ninja clans can hold back for two months to start a war, which has exceeded his expectations.
"Even the Uchiha clan can't wait for the collapse of the Vortex Tide Village and officially declare war on the Thousand Hands clan, and it seems that the Kaguya clan will not be able to hold back."
……
Kaguya in the land.
"In the past three months, instead of being dragged down by civilians, Vortex Village has been developing day by day, something must have gone wrong!"
Kaguyai was furious and held a meeting with the elders.
He was furious, he had no objection when the daimyo asked for a truce two months ago, because he had been waiting for the day when the Vortex Village would fall, and he had really been propped up by the Vortex Dragon!
According to the report of the spies he planted in the Vortex Village, the infrastructure of the Vortex Village has been completed, and even two batches of short-term ripening crops have been harvested, and many caravans have gone to the Vortex Village to buy and trade, and it is expected that they will soon become self-sufficient.
"Father, we must not wait any longer!" Kaguya said in a deep voice.
"The Vortex clan has a premeditated plan to build a village, they must have been accumulating money and food since several years ago, and if they continue to wait, they will only grow stronger and stronger."
"Yes, there are 40,000 people in Vortex Village today, which is a huge force that cannot be ignored!"
The elders echoed in unison.
"Those 40,000 people should all be civilians, but according to the spies, the Vortex Dragon is selecting elites among the civilians and teaching them to practice Chakra Ninjutsu."
"If the whirlpool is not removed, it will become a big disaster!"
"We still have a chance to win, now is the best time to attack them, if we delay the war for another three months, we will definitely lose."
“……”
"Good! Since all the elders think so, we will declare war on the Vortex today! Kaguya well clapped the board and made the final decision.
"In the first battle, grab the iron ore back first!"
Kaguya has no fight, and when he hears this, his eyes are full of light!
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Whirlpool, I see where you can escape when you go to the battlefield, this time, no one can save you!"
He thought to himself, the killing intent boiled.
His killing intent in the whirlpool is not for nothing, once their Kaguya clan also allied with Hinata, several years ago he fell in love with Hinata Rika, at that time Kaguyai also helped him come forward many times to propose marriage to Hinata, but Hinata, Tenfu always refused because his daughter was young.
Two months ago, after learning that Hinata Tianfu almost matched Rika Xu with a whirlpool, he was jealous, and when he proposed to Hinata Tianfu again, Hinata Tianfu did not talk about age this time, but Rika Hinata came forward and refused directly on the grounds of "dislike".
Kaguya gritted his teeth without a fight.
……
……
On the 5th of October.
In the eyes of many, it was just an uneventful morning.
Circling a dog's tail grass in his mouth, he walked on the mountain trail with the guards, and carried out his daily patrol duties.
The autumn weather is already cold and cold.
"Young Master Zhouxuan!"
A shout rang out behind him.
Everyone turned around and saw that the person who came was a member of another group of guards, who looked quite ordinary and a man, and knew him around, but they couldn't remember his name.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Xuan asked him.
"The clan master told you to go to the patriarch's building to attend the elders' meeting."
"Okay, I see, it's really troublesome......"
Zhou Xuan muttered, and then returned to the village with the man under the envious eyes of everyone.
After walking a distance, Zhou Xuan asked casually, "Do you know what the elders' meeting is going to discuss this time?" ”
The man shook his head: "How can my subordinates know about this kind of thing." ”
"It seems to be."
Zhou Xuan didn't think about it anymore, according to his estimate, eighty percent was talking about the war with the Kaguya clan.
"Dragon Patriarch, why are you here!"
The man exclaimed suddenly, looking ahead in surprise.
Zhou Xuan subconsciously followed his gaze.
Taking advantage of his distraction, the man's cuffs flipped out the kunai, and soon, he stabbed into Zhou Xuan's chest with a "poof"!
