Groups of heavily armed shogunate ninja troops and border defense troops, who were as if they were facing formidable enemies, quickly surrounded the Iron Rain City in the southern part of the Land of Rain under the cover of the Uzumaki Ninja's barrier, and were in a fighting state under the command of an Uchiha ninja. Enter the city.
"The first northwest team is now in place!"
"The second northwest detachment is now in place!"
"The Second Division of the Red Guards is ready!"
"United Company Battle Column Ready!"
As the Ninja Army moved, replies were sent back to the command center one after another, and all participating Ninjas fell into silence. Although there was a barrier to block the fluctuations of Chakra, every Ninja habitually held their breath to reduce their own energy as much as possible. Sense of presence.
This crackdown is extremely important!
"Shiina-sama, all the ninja troops are in place. Please tell me whether to activate the barrier blockade!"
A Uzumaki ninja asked Uchiha Shiina, who was in charge, for instructions.
Although Uchiha Shiina is not outstanding among the jonins of the Uchiha clan, because he is Uchiha Tokumitsu's cousin, with this identity as a talisman, his official career is extremely prosperous. Not only is he already a police officer at a young age, The chief of the Bekita District Police Station is now appointed by Uchiha Tokumitsu as the commander to eliminate Jiraiya's rebel gang.
It's just that... although this purge seems to be huge and massive, with many elite ninja troops mobilized, there is a high probability that it will be in vain.
Uchiha Shiina herself knew this very well.
Although the Intelligence Department detected that Jiraiya had stayed in this barren small town of the Land of Rain for a period of time, and even appeared in the local market with a light blue-haired lang-nin who had a master-student relationship, this It was before the murderous attack in the east. With Jiraiya's IQ and experience, there was no reason why he didn't make arrangements for his funeral before planning the murderous attack.
"Then let's get started."
Uchiha Shiina took out his pocket watch, looked at it, nodded and ordered.
"As you command!"
The Uzumaki ninja immediately used the teleportation technique to return to his fighting position, and organized the sealing class ninjas under his command to activate the barrier that blocked the Earth Escape and Psychic space travel.
"Attack!"
As the ripples of the two barriers rippled, the four ninja troops immediately lifted the shielding barrier and pounced on the motionless abandoned mansion like hungry wolves out of the cage!
"One team is in control!"
"The second team is under control!"
"Report! No biological traces were found at the target location!"
The final result was as expected. The hiding place of Jiraiya's gang detected by the intelligence department had long been empty, and the organization's elite ninja army had also fled.
"Although I knew this would be the case, it's still disappointing..."
Uchiha Shiina said to his subordinates with some disappointment.
"No need to worry, Shiina-sama, we will definitely catch that traitor Jiraiya next time..."
The subordinate immediately said sensibly.
But having said that, if he was sure to stop Jiraiya who was responsible for the murder, Uchiha Tokumitsu would probably fight in person.
Uchiha Shiina was well aware of her own strength.
"Compile a report and send it back to the village, and then move to the border of Takino Country!"
…
Regarding the incident in which the Ninja Frogs of Mt. Myoboku attacked the Uchiha conservative Ninja Army, the reaction of all forces in the Ninja world was far beyond Jiraiya's expectations.
Contrary to what he had expected at the beginning, all the ninja villages that were vaguely hostile, especially Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Taki-nin, who claimed to be the sixth ninja village, all sent condolences to the Uchiha clan and unanimously agreed. Expressing severe condemnation of the so-called Psychic Beast Holy Land's extraordinary behavior of interfering with the ninja world!
Especially for Kumogakure, the Third Raikage also publicly declared that Myobokuyama was listed as the most important enemy of the Land of Thunder and Kumogakure Village, claiming that whether it was the Myobokuyama psychic beast or Jiraiya and his vassal gang, they would be attacked once they appeared. The Kumogakure ninjas attacked Yunyun, and at the same time, they also escorted the next installment of the defeat compensation to Konoha's Minagawa Stock Exchange in advance to show their goodwill.
Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, also declared that Myobokuyama's attempt to interfere with the direction of the ninja world was unacceptable, and asked the ninjas of this village not to sign a psychic contract with Myobokuyama's lineage, and ordered a thorough investigation of whether the ninjas of this village have anything similar to toads. If there is a psychic beast, the psychic contract will be terminated, etc.
As for the rain ninja village who has always been on good terms with Uchiha Tokumitsu, let alone that.
After the murderous attack was exposed, the Ame ninjas who had been confronting the Iwagakure ninja army in the Land of Birds were furious. A group of jounin rushed to the Chinese army tent of the leader Sansho Hanzo and requested to return to the Land of Rain to eliminate Jiraiya's gang on Mt. Myoboku. The remnant, so as to contribute to the revenge cause of the allies.
As for the disappearance of one or two chuunin-level recruited ninjas in the recruiting troops of the Expeditionary Ninja Army in the Rain Ninja Village, naturally they would not take it to heart by the Rain Ninja jonins who are eager to please the Uchiha clan.
Although, among the missing recruited ninjas, there is a very popular young ninja named Yahiko...
As for Sunagakure, the Third Kazekage and Lord Guan Bai of the Wind Country claimed that he was incompatible with Mt. Myoboku, and said that the Country of Wind was a desert country and there would be no psychic beasts like toads, and that it was indestructible with Konoha. The Alliance will not do such things as "relatives hate and enemies are happy"; in addition, they also sent Sunagakure Grand Elder Ebizo to Konoha to express condolences.
This is completely different from what Jiraiya imagined at first!
Why did this style of painting suddenly change!
Could it be that the attack and destruction of Uchiha's conservative ninja army was a symbol of the decline of the Uchiha clan's deterrent power against other countries in the ninja world?
Isn't he Jiraiya the hero who fired the first shot against the tyranny of Uchiha Tokumitsu in the ninja world?
Why are you so scared?
The Uchiha clan hasn't started causing trouble yet! You haven’t started taking action yet! Just like this, he raised his hands in surrender without firing a kunai and tried to show his kindness first. Wouldn't the dead ancestors of Ninja Village cry for this in Huangquan Kudanzaka?
Jiraiya scratched his head all day and night, unable to figure it out.
…
For Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Taki ninja, although the destruction of an Uchiha conservative ninja army is something worthy of celebration, they also understand that this is not actually very special for the Uchiha clan. A heavy loss.
But what they are most concerned about is actually the reaction of the Uchiha clan after this attack.
This is also the reason why "allied countries are panicked".
Because even among the Uchiha clan, the conservatives are a lonely faction that has been completely marginalized. Their losses are not heavy for the Uchiha clan, and they were not recruited during the Second Ninja War and the Kirigakure Conquest. Conservative ninjas participated in the war; therefore, for the Tokumitsu Shogunate and the United Company, which were dominated by Uchiha radicals, conservatives were actually a dispensable existence.
The Uchiha clan's attitude towards the murderous attack was not so much revenge and demonstration after the loss of strength, but rather revenge based on blood relatives.
At this particularly sensitive time, he jumped out to challenge the Uchiha clan's huge power entrenched in various parts of the ninja world... Although the third Tsuchikage and the third Raikage privately expressed their joy at the murderous attack and hoped that Jiraiya would continue his efforts, on the surface Still maintaining his usual rationality.
His attitude toward the shogunate and Konoha was even more respectful than before.
Rather than taking this as an opportunity to challenge Uchiha Tokumitsu and Konoha's dominance, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Taki-nin were more worried that the shogunate would use this as an excuse to come knocking on their door.
…
Murphy's Law is real.
The thing that Taki Ren was most worried about had come.
Under the leadership of Uchiha Shiina, an elite ninja army with Uchiha ninjas as the absolute main force was deployed on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Taki; and the Fire Gate shogunate stationed in the northwest began to order the recruitment of Kusanagi and to fight in the east and west of the Country of Grass. Ninja troops gathered in the border cities of Takino Country, ready to invade at any time.
The entire Taki Ninja Village suddenly went numb.
Don't come over here!
We are innocent!
Compared with the early days of the establishment of the village, Taki Ninja has declined a lot after experiencing the Kakuzu Rebellion. There are not even a few decent strong people in the Ninja Village. During the Ninja Exam, Taki Ninja still relied on a few "genin" who deliberately suppressed the level to maintain the most basic sense of existence.
Today's Taki-nin has been reduced to a situation where he relies on seclusion and frightening people with the existence of tailed beasts to maintain his "appearance of strength".
However, the arrival of two Uchiha ninja armies exposed the Taki ninja's bluff of being a powerful nation.
Uchiha Shiina didn't even need to launch an attack. He just commanded his ninja troops to open a front on the Fire Country side of the border. The Taki Ninja border troops originally stationed on the Taki Country side immediately withdrew nearly a hundred kilometers and moved the defense line and border cities All gave way.
This also confused Uchiha Shiina, who was commanding the Ninja Army for the first time for a long time. After careful and repeated reconnaissance, it was determined that Taki Ninja had not laid a trap, and then he sent the combat column of the United Company to take over the border of Taki Country in the name of "peacekeeping" City.
"...Isn't this too simple?"
Uchiha Shiina was a little in disbelief.
Could it be that he is a famous general in the Uchiha clan?
Could it be that he could defeat others without fighting?
Thinking of this, Uchiha Shiina couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Shiina-sama, please give the order!"
The jounin responsible for the ninja army under his command are all gearing up and actively asking for a fight, "We can definitely strike while the iron is hot and march straight into the Taki Ninja Village at one go!"
"It's now time to make great achievements! Shiina-sama, don't hesitate!"
"……No!"
Uchiha Shiina Ju refused.
Before he was ordered to leave the village and lead the ninja army, Uchiha Tokumitsu had already warned him.
Regarding the encirclement and suppression in the Kingdom of Rain and the specific strategic goals of the border of the Kingdom of Chen Bing and Takino, Uchiha Tokumitsu had already explained to him very clearly.
"Military bases, concessions, special tariffs, free currency circulation, police and investigation powers, free movement rights, extra-legal governance..."
Uchiha Shiina silently recited the key words in the negotiation conditions in the speech that Uchiha Tokumitsu gave him.
…
The panicked Taki Ninja senior management couldn't even think of resisting.
Especially after the news that the border troops fled without fighting was returned to Taki Ninja's headquarters, the senior officials were even more confused.
Not to mention resisting, the senior Taki-nin had the courage to not pack up his belongings and flee to the Land of Earth to become an apartment at this time.
Although the top management seemed to be in panic and could not organize any effective response, every ninja village had a group of fighting factions who were unwilling to be outdone, and even Taki ninja was no exception.
Under the call of a Taki-nin Jōnin, the Taki-nin martial arts faction of the Ninja Village headquarters organized a loose ninja army of 800 people. After some weighing, they chose to move towards the Land of Grass. The Fire Gate Shogunate and the Kusanagi Village Ninja Army were listed as precautionary targets.
Of course, it is no surprise that the outcome of the battle was uneventful.
In front of the Fire Gate shogunate, which had deployed two elite detachments, the Taki Ninja martial arts faction could not even survive the first round of offensive. In less than ten minutes, the Uchiha Ninja commanded by Uchiha Fire Gate were defeated. The army was easily defeated.
More than 800 Taki-nin troops fled for hundreds of miles. Even the Kusanagi, who were best at chasing after each other, could not keep up with the Taki-nin's escape speed. In order to prevent the battle line from being stretched too long and exposing flaws, Uchiha Fire Gate ordered his ninja troops to stop the attack. After a hasty sweep of several counties and cities, they stopped marching and just sat back and waited for the arrival of Taki Ninja's peace envoy.
At this time, even the senior Taki ninja who had turned a blind eye and allowed the martial arts faction to launch an active attack were completely in disarray.
After another round of quarreling, Taki Ninja finally made the final decision——
While the Ninja Village was clamoring for the use of tailed beast weapons and the evil Uchiha bullying Ninja Army to perform the "Jade Crushing" decisive battle, the senior Taki Ninja officials sent two missions to the Ninja Army Command Center where Uchiha Fire Gate and Uchiha Shiina were located to seek help. And, the main theme is a schizophrenia.
In this regard, Uchiha Kamon only claimed that the ninja army of the headquarters was inexplicably attacked by Taki ninja troops during the exercise, and thus made an appropriate counterattack.
In addition, Uchiha Fire Gate requires Taki Ninja to pay the ninja army's departure expenses and war compensation, etc.
...It turns out that just losing money is enough! You should have told me earlier!
The Taki-nin envoy who was on a mission to the Fire Gate Shogunate wiped away a cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.
For Taki Ninja, as long as there is no real war, any problem that can be solved with money and the amount is within the limit of the village's ability to pay is not a problem.
However, when another mission arrived at the center of the ninja army led by Uchiha Shiina, the Taki ninja envoy was not treated so well.
…
"Shiina-sama, Taki-nin is wronged!"
Upon hearing Uchiha Shiina's claim that the gang headed by Jiraiya might have set up a secret base in the country of Taki, the Taki ninja envoy immediately screamed in dismay.
Regardless of whether Jiraiya has set up a secret base in Takino Country or not, this must be firmly denied!
Otherwise, Taki Ninja's decades-long foundation will be destroyed in one fell swoop! The hard work of the senior executives will also be in vain!
"Don't I know whether you are wronged or not?"
Based on the script given by Uchiha Tokko, Uchiha Shiina frowned very seriously and scolded: "Do you dare to be the sixth ninja of the dignified village?"
As for where Jiraiya is hiding, whether he has really set up a secret base in the country of Taki, and how the Uchiha clan obtained the information, that is not important at all.
"Shiina-sama, Taki-nin is also a regular ninja village, and it is absolutely impossible to tolerate the existence of rebellious ninjas!"
The Taki ninja envoy quickly explained: "Besides, do you have evidence to prove that Jiraiya is hiding in your country? We can definitely help you eliminate or expel him."
"No need!"
Uchiha Shiina said coldly.
"Ah this..."
Hearing this, the Taki ninja messenger suddenly began to sweat like rain.
"Of course, the kind-hearted Tokumitsu-sama also knows that although there are bad people in Taki-nin, most of them are old friends who are good to Konoha..."
Uchiha Shiina changed the topic: "So things are not without improvement..."
"Please show me, Shiina-sama!"
The Taki ninja messenger quickly bowed and asked.
"After signing this treaty, Konoha and Taki-nin will still be friends..."
The implication is that if you don't sign it, it's up to you.
The Taki Ninja user trembled and flipped through it, and his whole body was suddenly soaked with sweat.
The conditions in the treaty are so harsh and numerous that it is simply beyond imagination!
"Three days..."
Uchiha Shiina raised three fingers, "Taki-nin has three days to think about whether to sign the treaty, but he must also think clearly about the consequences."
"If there is no reply by the due date..."
"Then don't say you didn't predict what you said!"
I'm temporarily asked to work overtime. I have no choice but to go back to the construction site. I'll update it tomorrow.
