Long before Uchiha Shiina launched the anti-terrorism and suppression operation in the southwest Iwagakure occupied area, Jiraiya had already fled with Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who had decided to join the Akatsuki organization, as reminded by the toad on Mount Myoboku.
But the subsequent performance of the anti-terrorism operation also surprised Jiraiya.
He originally thought that after entering the southwest occupied area, the shogunate ninja army called the Anti-Terrorist Force, regarded as the vanguard of the invasion, would be regarded by Iwagakure as a declaration of war and fight against Konoha, but he did not expect Iwagakure's reaction to be so calm.
According to the information sent back by the Intelligence Frog, the process of the counter-terrorism troops moving into the southeastern Konoha-occupied area and the Iwakakure front army's recovery operations can almost be described as "harmonious". There are even Iwagakure ninjas in the live video sent back by the Intelligence Frog. The famous scene of hooking up with the Konoha ninja and exchanging the Konoha Explosive Talisman for Earth Kingdom chakra metal.
Especially according to reports from Intelligence Frog, this phenomenon is very common!
"It seems that the reactionary forces in the ninja world have begun to collude together..."
Jiraiya said sadly.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke also had a gloomy expression on his face as he carefully compared the codebook page by page to translate the information frog's report.
During this period of hiding, although Sarutobi Shinnosuke has always paid attention to the dynamics of the ninja world, due to the limited sources of intelligence and the fact that the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan were imprisoned in the southeast occupied area, he had no interest in the ninja world. He didn't know much about the changes in the upper echelons of the world. He only knew that the Uchiha clan was growing like a raging fire, which made him extremely anxious.
But as he came into contact with Myobokuyama's intelligence channels, he discovered that under the protection of the Uchiha clan and the shogunate, the United Company had grown into another more hidden behemoth.
From regular commodity trading to arms trading, and even war operations, there is nothing that the United Company is not involved in.
Even the United Company releases a large number of quotas every year to recruit Konoha ninjas and ninjas from ninja villages affiliated with the shogunate, thus accumulating a loose ninja army with unknown numbers and unknown training conditions, but an absolutely huge number!
"Brother Jiraiya, our first target should be the United Company!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke extracted the relevant information about Uchiha Shiina and his troops forcing Taki-nin to surrender from the report of the intelligence frog, and put it in front of Jiraiya.
At the same time, the words "joint company combat column" in the intelligence text were also specially marked.
"Isn't this just a large-scale smuggling gang in the ninja world?"
Jiraiya was a little surprised.
His focus has always been on Uchiha Tokumitsu and the important figures in the shogunate, and he has never paid much attention to the information of the United Company.
After all, the information collected by the Intelligence Frog is extremely extensive, and he does not have any additional subordinates to help him. If he does not selectively check it, he probably doesn't have to do anything and just read the reports every day.
"The joint company is the foundation for Uchiha Tokko's rapid expansion of power!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke emphasized: "Don't underestimate this so-called smuggling gang. Using the United Company as a network, Uchiha Tokko's connections with nobles from all over the ninja world and other ninjas in the ninja village may be deeper than we think!"
The most direct evidence is the unusually close behavior of Konoha ninjas and Iwagakure ninjas in interacting with ninjas from the Ninja Village during the withdrawal of troops from the Kingdom of Thunder to the southwest.
Jiraiya reacted quickly.
"Have you ever seen that every military operation conducted by the shogunate resulted in great results and minimal losses..."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke separated out the information about the conquest of the Water Country, the Kumogakure peacekeeping operations and other information about the shogunate's direct participation in the war, and piled them in front of Jiraiya.
"But if you calculate it carefully, the shogunate actually invested quite a lot in military supplies...especially the detonating charms!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke did a quick calculation and came up with a number that made Jiraiya stunned.
"Is it so terrifying..."
Jiraiya's determination to overthrow the dark rule of the shogunate even wavered.
"The United Company is the root of the Uchiha clan! Brother Jiraiya, what we have to do is dig out the roots!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke said viciously: "In this way, when the shogunate becomes a rootless tree, then we can completely destroy it!"
"……you are right!"
After Jiraiya pondered for a while, he nodded heavily.
"But, brother Jiraiya, do you have money?"
When Sarutobi Shinnosuke saw that Jiraiya seemed to be acting blindly just relying on his passion, he pointed out the key point.
"...and five million taels."
Jiraiya replied quietly.
"Far from enough!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke shook his head repeatedly, "We have to attack the United Company in secret while also obtaining funds to strengthen the organization. Otherwise, it will be impossible to compete with the shogunate with just a few subordinates who are not even as good as genin."
Jiraiya was silent for a long time again, and sighed again.
It was very difficult to make money, especially since Jiraiya didn't even bother to do dirty work like robbing houses and robbing casinos of gold, so one can imagine how difficult it is to obtain funds through legal means.
Although Sarutobi Shinnosuke was actually very disdainful of Jiraiya's so-called "adherence to moral integrity" and felt that Jiraiya's formal rebellion had no future, he still concealed his inner thoughts very well. He just looked at Jiraiya in silence.
The power of the Myoboku Mountain Toad, its wide distribution, and the amount of information it can collect far exceed Sarutobi Shinnosuke's imagination.
Compared with the Sarutobi clan's generation-contracted clan of monkey demons, they are like pearls competing with sand and gravel!
And if you want to overthrow the shogunate and restore the orthodoxy of Konoha in the eyes of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, you must rely on the power of Mt. Myoboku!
"Shinnosuke-kun..."
Jiraiya said slowly: "I plan to hand over all the financial planning and intelligence analysis of the Akatsuki organization to you. Are you willing to take over?"
"no problem!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately agreed.
This is what he looks forward to most!
"Then please..."
Jiraiya said sincerely.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded heavily, his heart filled with joy.
As for how to recruit his subordinates, he has already made a plan - the black market ninjas who are being constantly encircled and suppressed by anti-terrorist forces!
…
"Lord Shiina, this is the report of the suppression operation. Please review it."
In Ou Castle in the southeastern region of the Land of Thunder, Uchiha Shiina, who successfully completed the clearing operation, also received the clearing report compiled by his subordinates.
“It’s not bad~”
Judging from the seizures, the funds confiscated from the black market strongholds basically covered the expenditures for this large-scale anti-terrorism operation and the purchase of the Iwagakure Front.
"...Xuanyuan Zhong?"
But seeing a page in the Ninja Army battle record, Uchiha Shiina was a little surprised: "Why did you let them run away?"
"The strength of this Lang Ninja Group is quite special, so..."
The subordinate replied quietly.
"Then let the United Company place a public reward. As long as they are still operating in the ninja world, they will always be wiped out!"
Uchiha Shiina immediately put the matter behind him, signed his name on the battle report and warned: "Immediately send it to Fubo City through the ninja channel. Your Majesty the General is waiting to read the report!"
"It's such a simple and easy job..."
After his subordinates left, Uchiha Shiina lay proudly on the chair and lazily said, "Just sign, this is easier than the job of the police chief~"
Under the joint suppression of the three ninja armies, the southeastern region of the Kingdom of Thunder was filled with blood and murderous intent.
The black market ninjas, ronin samurai and spies from various countries who originally regarded the occupied areas as their paradise had no chance to resist in the face of the overwhelmingly superior Konoha ninja army. Even if they resisted with all their strength, they would only be able to resist. Although some powerful people were able to escape, but Compared with the great overall situation, that is nothing to mention.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Suddenly, bursts of intense ninjutsu explosions sounded from the garrison area on the south side of Ou Castle, startling Uchiha Shiina.
"This is……"
Uchiha Shiina immediately came to the window and opened his Sharingan to observe.
Although the Sharingan's ability to increase vision is far less than that of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, it can still strengthen vision to some extent.
I saw groups of ninjas from the anti-terrorism force quickly rushing to support them. Ninjutsu lights flashed in the rising smoke, and it seemed that the two sides were engaged in a fierce ninjutsu battle.
"It seems like..."
Uchiha Shiina suddenly thought of something. He quickly took out the city distribution map and looked at it, then he beamed, "Sarutobi and Shimura's camp!"
"Assemble all the ninja troops!"
With no time to change, the overjoyed Uchiha Shiina broke out of the window and shouted loudly: "Sarutobi causes chaos, Shimura obeys! All ninjas follow me to put an end to the chaos!"
Then he took out a signal bomb from his arms and fired it into the sky, then led his direct detachment to kill him.
“It’s now time to make great achievements!”
"The genocide is happening now!"
Teams of Konoha ninjas who came to support after hearing the news also shouted slogans and rushed towards the camp of the two clans of Sarutobi and Shimura.
