The current situation in Rain Ninja Village is not good.

In the month that Bai Ming hid in the border town of the country of grass, Yokokawa Mountain Castle, the base camp in the confrontation front with Konoha lost the support of logistics, and finally couldn't hold on for half a month, and was finally broken and occupied by Konoha after losing the support of logistics.

This is still because Bai Ming kidnapped Tsunade and caused some slight turmoil in the Konoha camp to fight for two more days, otherwise the rain ninja would have been defeated earlier.

After the complete collapse of the border defense against Konoha, the route to the inner region of the Land of Rain has been opened.

War is a means, but it also serves a political end.

The definition involving Konoha Ninja Village is the military power of the Fire Country, and its structure and the mercenary mode of the ninja system naturally make Konoha Ninja Village subject to the power of the Daimyo nobles of the Fire Country.

This war is nominally a ninja war, and it is Konoha, Sand Ninja, and Iwa Ninja who suppress the rising force of Rain Ninja Village, but in essence, it is the development of the Land of Rain that touches the interests of the three countries.

At present, the traditional hegemon of this region is the five major powers, but it still adopts a conservative agricultural economic model, mainly self-produced and self-sold, although there is industrialization but not much, and the relative rain country, because of the geographical environment can not develop the agricultural economy, the degree of industrialization is far higher than the traditional five countries.

As we are familiar with historical experience, once the development of social order is dominated by industrialization, the industrial products developed by it can easily produce devastating disasters to the production system of small peasant farming mode.

This is the case of the Land of Rain, which in the past few years has used various low-cost and high-quantity industrial products to harvest traditional overlords such as the Land of Fire in an industrial scissors poor way.

All kinds of resources and a large amount of money poured into the territory of the rain country, and it was also with the support of a large amount of money that the scale and strength of the rain ninja village would faintly catch up with the five major powers about 20 years after the first ninja war.

Of course, the sanctions of the five major powers are also coming.

Aware of the threat posed by the Land of Rain, the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of the Wind were restricted by the three major countries that surrounded the border of the Land of Rain.

They limit the import of large-scale food into the Rain Country from the very beginning, and the food in the Rain Country is not enough for the local population to consume, which will lay the foundation for social unrest.

Later, he sent ninjas to disturb the security of the territory of the Rain Country for many years, and many bandit and bandit organizations in the Rain Country had the shadow behind the scenes of several major powers.

Industrial civilization needs a good social environment to flourish.

Unfortunately, there are too many cancers in this world.

For the daimyo and high-ranking people of the Land of Rain, it is not a serious problem at all for a large number of people at the bottom to be consumed and die meaninglessly in the turbulent social order.

On the contrary, they are happy to see this phenomenon develop, for them, the untouchables at the bottom are like weeds on the side of the road, too much of which is annoying, and they need to be harvested regularly to avoid being an eyesore.

It was also the beginning of the industrial transformation with the steam of boiling water, but it was still similar to the cultural and ideological defects of the island nation in the previous life, and the development of gunpowder was replaced by the existence of the mercenary system ninja as a transcendent being.

The common people at the bottom are really like weeds, there is no way to change their social level, and there is no power to overthrow this deformed social order.

This is not even a problem of the country of rain, but the coexistence of many countries in the entire ninja continent.

Their existence or absence does not seem to mean anything to the country.

Any rebellion was regarded as a riot, and was ruthlessly suppressed when it offended the interests of the aristocracy.

It is not that there is no soil for revolution here, but the conditions and ideas for revolution are lacking.

There is no ability to pull the ruling class off the horse and trample on it in the mud, and there is no middle and high level that will abandon class interests and see the suffering of the people at the bottom to carry out radical reform.

Even if there is, it is mostly a little mercy from the nobles and lords under the wind and snow.

So the Land of Rain, with the intervention of countries such as the Land of Fire, made a wrong response.

The people at the bottom were still discarded as inferior people who needed to be cleaned up regularly, and merchants, samurai, officials, nobles, and factory owners were the common people in the true sense of the word. In this case, the people at the bottom who have been abandoned will naturally not have much recognition for their country, and a country that loses its grassroots level is destined to be unstable.

Even if the Land of Rain has increased its military strength, that is, the cultivation of ninjas, it will not help to break through the sanctions and suppression of countries such as the Land of Fire.

The plan to raid the country of grass was destined to be an impossible goal from the beginning, and it aroused the vigilance of the three kingdoms, and they completely tore their faces and launched a war.

Like the islanders of the same race in the parallel world, after the failure of the gambling fortune of the country, the backlash brought by the rain country was that the flesh and blood of the rain country began to be devoured by a few large mouths of greed.

Just like Bai Ming can feel it in the country of grass.

After the rout of the front line defending Konoha, a large number of merchants and other forces from the Land of Fire began to pour into the territory of the Land of Rain.

Countless high-quality assets were harvested cheaply, and the wealth accumulated in the early stage was plundered, and at this time, even the middle and even high-level classes of the rain country, which originally seemed to be beautiful, suffered heavy losses under the national disaster.

Their personal safety may still be guaranteed, but their wealth and power will not be lost.

On the contrary, the people at the bottom have not changed much, because they have already lost everything before this, and there is nothing to lose anymore.

In this period of despair and emptiness, a sect shouting the slogan 'Motherless Mother, Vacuum Hometown' began to spread its teachings and gradually became known to more and more people.

Land of Rain, Yasuoka Castle.

A few days ago, Angang City, which was still depressed because of the war, was full of people at the moment, and Bai Ming walked into this small city with a medicine box on his back, wearing baxi shoes and hand-cranked string bells, disguised as a middle-aged traveling doctor with a sleaked yellow face.

Yasuoka Castle is located within 30 kilometers southwest of the border between the Land of Rain and Konoha Junction, and when the war did not break out, it undertook an important node in the commercial trade between the two countries due to its geographical advantages, and most of the merchants who came and went would choose to rest here after leaving or entering the Land of Rain, so the development of a prosperous area.

However, after the war and the closure of the trade routes, Yasuoka Castle immediately became a visible depression, and the law and order began to deteriorate, and dead people could be seen on the streets every day.

Until the defense line of Yunin Village collapsed, a large number of merchants and other forces from the Fire Country poured into these border towns, and this small city became prosperous again because of its geographical advantages.

This kind of prosperity has even affected the nearby border towns of the country of grass, and it is much more lively than in the past, and Bai Ming has also learned about some recent changes in the situation in the country of rain from the merchants who passed by.
