Chapter 265: [Closing the Door]
Based on the excellent performance of Itachi and others on the front line, the Uchiha also had a smooth life in Kyoto City.
Like what
Originally, I always thought that "I don't have the idea of expansion", "I'm just a businessman doing a small business in the Fire Country", "We're just ordinary people, we don't want to get involved with ninja things", "I'm thinking about it", "Give me some more time", ...... hesitate in these excuses.
Whether or not to agree to cooperate, the owner of the Spring Rain Building, who is the owner of the Uchiha's external intelligence system, immediately changed his attitude after learning about the battle between the Uchiha in the Snow Country and the team in the Cloud Hidden Village.
Another example,
When the Uchiha's team boldly penetrated deep into the land of thunder, but the Yunyin Village only dared to block it with weak means, and did not dare to gather the ninja army to directly attack, more and more families and clans came all the way to Kyoto City to visit the Uchiha......
Possession of strong force is the most effective way to survive,
Prestige, status, wealth...... It's just backed by strong force,
A humane way of life.
One is survival and the other is life, and there is a huge difference.
Konoha 55 years,
It is destined to be a year of turbulence and treachery.
The existence of the Uchiha has completely broken the balance formed in the ninja world since the death of the Thousand Hands Pillar and Madara Uchiha.
In a battle in just half a year, Yunyin Village, which was once at the level of the top force in this ninja world, existed in name only.
Nearly two-thirds of the ninjas died in the war.
Even the two tailed beasts as a last resort, one was directly dispersed and the other was captured.
Not only that, but the village, which had lost its roots in the battle, had to pay huge reparations to the victorious countries for the war.
And the fall of Yunyin Village, which is a military force in the country, means that the status of the country of thunder has also changed.
Even those countries that did not participate in this short battle have been affected to a certain extent.
The most intuitive is that some forces that originally lived under the big countries and were at the small and medium-sized level were gradually ready to move, planning to take this opportunity to mobilize troops against Yunyin Village and fall into the ground.
And this includes the snow country, which was forced to cede the outer territories as a battlefield in this battle.
In the ninja world, the village of Taki Ninja has always been in a state of 'seclusion',
and some underground forces that are not well-known.
On the map of the ninja world, they are small people who survive between the land of thunder and the country of fire.
In normal times, they would never dare to easily touch and provoke the nerves of the Thunder Country.
But now, the situation is different.
Several of their forces have joined forces, and they are even fully capable of taking Yunyin Village in their place.
And in addition to these forces that are about to move, there are also people in the ninja world who have the idea that more things are better than less, and they go directly to the country of fire, which is now in the limelight, or the people who surrender to Uchiha.
For example, the country of Tian and the country of Yu......
These are countries that don't have much armed forces on their own soil.
Soon after the Yunyin Village announced its official surrender in the ninja world and the victory of the Fire Country, they had envoys to the Fire Country, and they arrived at the Daimyo Mansion and the Uchiha and Konoha respectively to express their surrender and prepare extremely rich gifts.
……
……
Closed doors.
As the initiator of this turmoil, Uchiha's attitude has left many forces in the outside world unclear.
Including the Uchiha, who should be the most familiar with Konoha, he didn't understand what Uchiha's plans were now.
The day after Uchiha Itachi returned home, the invitations and prayers handed out by various families and clans in the Fire Country, and even by forces from other countries, were already piled up.
And in this period when the spring breeze should be proud and everywhere, as the patriarch, Itachi gave the first order after the Hui people.
This order closed the gates of the Uchiha clan land, blocking the many ninja forces that came to curry favor.
And this includes the ninjas who arrived in Kyoto City from Konoha and also includes the invitation sent by the Daimyo Mansion to invite Uchiha Itachi to participate in the banquet in the house.
Although many clansmen in the clan expressed confusion about this decision, because Uchiha Itachi had never made a mistake since he became the patriarch, no one objected.
For a few days, after the Uchiha's expedition team returned, the Uchiha was like a closed water country, and he never moved, and the real 'quiet' came down.
They had not been in contact with any of the other major forces in the ninja world, nor had they met with representatives of other forces.
Completely, all the movements stopped.
And the initiator of this turmoil in the ninja world stopped moving, and the other forces didn't know how to deal with themselves for a while.
"They...... Still no response? ”
Konoha Village,
Tsunade in the Hokage's office frowned.
And next to her, Jiraiya and Orochimaru have already been with her, replacing the original four-person team of Sarutobi Hichi, Shimura Danzo, Zhuan Koharu, and Mito Menyan, and become the new Konoha pillars.
"Nope."
Sitting in the seat in front of the Hokage's desk, Jiraiya shook his head helplessly and replied, "I originally wanted to try to take advantage of the 'compensation' of the Uchiha losses in this war on the part of the Cloud Hidden Village, and instruct the Dark Department to hand in our Konoha invitation by the way when delivering the list. ”
"As for the 'compensation' of Yunyin Village, Uchiha's upper shinobi did appear, confirmed the contents of the list, and took away the part of the 'population' compensation from the others, and rejected the slaves given by the Land of Thunder."
"But when our people were going to communicate with them further, confirm the contact, and invite Uchiha Itachi to our Konoha as a guest by the way, they didn't move."
"The things were accepted, the invitations were confiscated, and I don't know if they thought about it after the words were passed in."
Sitting next to Jiraiya, Orochimaru chuckled, "It's pretty ...... Familiar. ”
"It's emboldened, it's really different."
"It's the same as the Uchiha back then."
He was referring to that pride.
Back then, this arrogance was since the Second Ninja World War, and the Uchiha slowly lost his arrogant capital with the decline of his comprehensive combat power and the change of the situation in Konoha.
Now, after leaving Konoha, they have found it back.
"In any case, judging from the attitude of Uchiha Itachi in contact with me, I don't think the Uchiha will easily turn his back on our identity as an 'ally'."
Jiraiya doesn't refute it, and now the Uchiha is very arrogant.
Since they have been closed for several days, no matter who comes to deliver letters, there is no response, this arrogance is a fact.
But his impression of the Uchiha is quite good.
At least, I have a good impression of Uchiha Itachi, a very rational and polite person.
On the main seat behind the desk, Tsunade always frowned, "Regarding the attitude of the Uchiha, let's keep a wait-and-see. ”
"Although they are heroes in the land of fire, they are indispensable for guarding against others."
"We can't let go of the guard, but don't try to deal with the Uchiha either."
"No matter what, the core problem is always that our Konoha is not in comprehensive combat power now."
"Now that the war is over, we should use the vast resources obtained by the victorious nation this time to train the ninjas in the village and improve ourselves, instead of suppressing others to achieve our goals."
Let's not talk about whether they have the ability to suppress the Uchiha themselves.
But Tsunade has always believed that the best way to deal with it is to constantly improve oneself than to suppress and fear others.
