The next day, when the sun first rose, Tang Country was still quiet.
The entire country was like a dead city that had been baptized by war overnight. Few pedestrians appeared on the crisscrossing streets, and the smell of fireworks was restrained to the extreme.
Last night, the whole city was listening to the shrill roar, releasing endless fear.
Last night, the entire Daming Mansion was brightly lit, and the over-500-year-old Lord of Tangzhi Kingdom stayed up all night, sitting solemnly under the exclusive guard and waiting until dawn.
He is different from those gangsters who hang out underground. He can see farther and deeper.
Whose ninja would be so bored that he would clean up the entire country's gray industries out of temporary dissatisfaction?
There must be a bigger purpose in doing this.
The wandering warrior named Tieshan just happened to provide him with a seemingly reasonable excuse.
Moreover, he had already deduced the true identity of the young man based on the little information he had collected.
The Konoha forehead protector, the evil Sharingan, superb sword skills, and the age that symbolizes infinite possibilities...
This guy who almost pushed the entire country aside must be the one:
The current leader of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Ara.
The reason why he sat down and waited until dawn was because he had a premonition that the other party would find him sooner or later.
He even had some speculations about the possible purpose of being found.
only,
Would that guy really do something so horrific?
Not afraid of Konoha's retribution...
'Tap tap tap. '
Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, the thoughts of the leader of the Kingdom of Tang suddenly collapsed in the sea of consciousness. He instantly raised his head and saw that the person who came in was not someone else, but his own captain of the bodyguard.
"Lord Nishitani, the East District has settled down. Those who were able to escape in that area have all fled to the sea. As for those who couldn't escape..."
At this point, the visitor's voice suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something unbelievably terrifying.
"Those who failed to escape may suffer from broken bones or death."
The captain of the guard slowly continued to add.
This is the second time he has seen such a miserable scene. As for the first time, it was in Tangyin Village, which was already in a state of escapism.
Of course, the scene that time was even more bloody and difficult to watch!
"What about him?"
Nishitani Hiroaki didn't pay too much attention to the situation of those local ruffians, but asked about that person eagerly.
"After that, the perpetrator made no movement and showed no sign of continuing to come to Daming Mansion."
The captain of the guard immediately understood and reported back in detail.
'Why. '
However, Nishitani Hiroaki did not feel any relief after hearing this news. Instead, there was definitely an invisible pressure that severely overshadowed his heart.
'What do you want to do? '
He said to himself,
The old eyes with traces of time revealed deep confusion and inexplicable fear.
"Nishiya-sama, do you need us to send someone to negotiate, or directly inform people in Konoha?"
"No."
"unnecessary!"
After hearing the advice, the leader of Tangzhi Country refused very decisively.
When they still don't know the real purpose of why that person did such a thing, standing still is the most correct choice for them, the weak side.
Yes, there is a firm intuition in Nishitani Hiroaki's heart, that is, even if all the force that can be used in the entire Tang Country is used to deal with the perpetrator, there will be no good results.
He clearly understood this when the Kahn forces entrenched in the North District were easily overthrown, and even he himself died tragically at the stronghold.
Otherwise, there is no need for him to be so cowardly and allow the entire country to gradually fall into a chaotic situation of "three noes".
"Just let him do whatever he wants. Unless the other party takes the initiative to contact you, don't get involved in anything."
Nishitani Hiroaki added again.
Such a decision is exactly the same as the one it made a year ago when it came to contact with the forces behind Kahn.
After all, the decline of Tangyin Village and its retreat from the world directly brought the entire country's combat power to a freezing point that was difficult to decline. It was unable to control the overall situation. Being able to stick to the Western District and maintain the superficial identity of the monarch was already very good.
What's more, what that man did is not harmful to Tang Zhiguo from the current point of view.
On the contrary, the residents of the entire country can breathe a sigh of relief.
only,
Just in the future......
Thinking of this, Nishitani Hiroaki couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the future, after that person leaves, the entire country may suffer even more crazy plunder and destruction.
Don't talk about false titles like 'forgetting the war' by then, even this last Western District will probably fall.
Of course, hiring ninjas to clean up regularly is also a method.
However, the price is too high, and being caught between Konoha and Kumogakure, they have to be careful not to favor one over the other, otherwise it will definitely be regarded as an obscure side.
This is the helplessness of the small country after losing its inherent ninja village.
"Yes, I understand."
The captain of the guard immediately responded, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart.
Because whether you negotiate with that person directly or report such a private incident to Konoha, it may cause dissatisfaction or even hostility from the other party.
If it were some other famous Konoha ninjas, they would choose the latter option.
But,
That one is from Uchiha! !
A family that cannot be reasoned with!
Although I don't know where this inherent conclusion came from, it should not be much different after seeing the other party's crazy behavior last night.
However, when he raised his head and noticed that the king he was serving had a sad face, a real guilt surged in his heart.
As the chief guard of a dignified kingdom, he could not worry about his own adults. He could only watch those ruffians, the foreign ninjas wreaking havoc, and the property belonging to the kingdom and the people being exploited bit by bit. They moved bit by bit, but they didn’t even have the courage to lose their temper!
Such an official position, such a position, is really shameful and shameful.
The atmosphere in the entire hall also became silent and depressing under such a general environment.
At this moment, another rush of footsteps came from outside the hall, and everyone in the hall broke away from the disturbing sound, woke up from their own thoughts, and looked in the direction of the source of the sound.
I saw that the person who came was a young man, wearing a standard guard uniform with a samurai sword at his waist.
"Your Majesty, the ninja from Konoha is distributing the wealth obtained in the east, south and north areas."
Ignoring the state of panting due to running wildly, he knelt half-kneeling on the ground and reported the current situation respectfully and somewhat excitedly.
After all, the money distributed to civilians was plundered from the hands of the ruffians entrenched in Tang Country! !
That was a group of evil forces that even they had no choice but to allow to grow rapidly!
Hearing this, everyone present, whether they were ordinary guards, officials, or daimyo sitting on the throne, all had expressions of astonishment on their faces.
【Could it be,】
[Does that guy really want it? 】
Nishitani Hiroaki's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
Because only by sitting in this position could he see more things clearly.
If you want to obtain a country, you never need to win the consent of the person in charge of that country. The Kahn power entrenched in the North District is the best proof.
What is really needed is the support of the people.
Therefore, local ruffians can always only be a group of rabble who cannot stand on the stage. They only put their own interests first. Such behavior is unlikely to shake their status.
But what that person did before was contrary to that gang of people. He actually directly divided the property of nearly half of the country. How much courage does this require?
You can get a glimpse of it from the messenger guard with a happy face and excited voice!
Even they felt excited, excited, and agreed with such behavior, not to mention the ordinary residents who were exploited and levied protection fees on weekdays?
"Kings?"
"What do we need to do."
The guard who sent the message asked, trying hard to suppress the excitement and generosity in his heart.
It is really a joy to see those arrogant evil people being driven away and put to death.
Of course there are those who are happy about it, and there are also those who are gloomy and restless after hearing the news.
They have long since changed their will under this irreversible trend and protected the gray cause of those local ruffians. After all, how many people can resist the temptation of money and the general trend?
"Let it go."
"No need to mix it up."
For a long time, Nishitani Hiroaki made up his mind.
This is the most moderate approach, and it is also an approach that does not offend any party and has room for advancement and retreat.
In the final analysis, no matter how powerful and arrogant Uchiha Ara is, he is only a ninja belonging to Konoha. Even if the entire Uchiha clan is added, it cannot be said to be such a heavy bargaining chip.
Such a bargaining chip is really not worth mentioning in front of Konoha and Kumogakure, and there is no need for him to get into troubled waters.
What's more, the current Uchiha is no longer the original Uchiha. It is already very rare to be able to leave a family without leaving the family?
Could there ever be another strong man like him?
impossible!
As for words of praise and approval, Nishitani Hiroaki naturally couldn't express them.
Because this is equivalent to a disguised recognition, which further pushes the people's public opinion towards that person.
"yes."
"My subordinate understands and will do it now."
With a simple response, the slightly younger guard hurriedly retreated. Although Yu Zhi also felt a subtle lack in his heart, this subtle lack was compared to the fact that civilians could get back their own property. The feeling was quickly eliminated.
There was only a subtle thought roaring in his heart.
[The ninjas of the Uchiha clan do not seem to be as arrogant and unreachable as rumored. 】
[However, there is no doubt that it is powerful! 】
.........
Just as the Daimyo guard of Yuno Country said, Ara began to distribute the property that civilians usually plundered and exploited in three areas: east, south, and north.
Of course, not everyone gives it.
after all,
'Boom! '
A guy with a wretched appearance and narrow eyes was kicked to the ground. In addition to the loud bang, there was also a low scream of bones.
"You, cough, you, cough, why do you hit people at will!"
"Cough cough cough......"
The man roared with all his strength, and a trace of blood slowly seeped out from the corner of his mouth driven by his anger.
Under such brutal behavior, some civilians surrounding them involuntarily stepped back.
In response to this, Huang did not show any emotion. Instead, he looked down at the guy who was trying to fish in troubled waters, and his scarlet pupils revealed the ultimate coldness.
"I don't remember saying that anyone can receive this money."
After all, no lie can escape the direct gaze of the Sharingan!
Hearing this, the face of the wretched-looking man suddenly turned red with shame and anger, and under the gazes of countless residents around him, there was even more gloom.
"You, you, the Uchiha clan are indeed as rough and unreasonable as the rumors say!"
"Everyone, ahem, don't be attracted by such appearances."
"This guy, well, this guy just wants more exclusive property, so he's just pretending!!"
He roared desperately, and along with the blood he coughed up, and the image of a weak person, he gained some sympathy.
Of course, there is only one reason for him to do this:
That is to make sure that the young man in front of you will not do anything to you in front of everyone!
Under such remarks, there were some criticisms around here, of course, the most common ones were about that family: Uchiha! !
It can be said that the name of this family is the loudest in the entire ninja world, bar none!
Even the Thousand Hands of the Forest, who were able to compete with them and compete for hegemony in the past, and even the war-loving Kaguya clan, are not as resounding as the name of this clan.
However, just when the civilians were talking a lot and the unfriendly atmosphere began to ferment, a voice that was not loud but tried to be heard clearly by everyone sounded:
"Ryuichi Yanase, a street pickpocket who travels around the East and South Districts all year round. The little finger of his right hand is missing. It was a certificate that was caught and chopped off by a butcher."
"If you look carefully, I believe someone will be able to recognize his appearance."
It's Fushima Se.
As an information dealer, he clearly remembers every force and every gray salesperson in this land.
As soon as these words came out, the whole scene became weird, and the wretched man who fell on the ground was stunned. He never thought that someone would recognize him at a glance in such a chaotic time!
You know, simple disguise is the most basic professional ability of a pickpocket! !
"Look, he really only has four fingers on his right hand."
"By the way, I recognize him. This guy has indeed committed theft at the port!"
"..."
Under such identification, different discussions instantly broke out in the crowd.
At the same time, Yanase Ryuichi, who fell on the ground, instantly recognized the person who exposed him.
"It's you, it turns out to be you Fu Jian!"
"Just because someone like you can stand so proudly..."
Such words immediately caused a look of uneasiness and guilt on Fukamaze's face. Indeed, compared with the other party, he was not much better.
No, he just gritted his teeth secretly and waited for the former's verbal judgment without any rebuttal gesture.
only,
"ah!!"
Yanase Ryuichi's words were not able to continue, but turned into a shrill roar.
Fukumaze looked up in panic, and saw that the young man he was willing to be 100% loyal to had already stepped on the opponent's hand bones.
"Get out of here if you understand."
"If I see it again, it may not be the end of a broken bone."
Huang said with an indifferent expression.
It's really funny to threaten yourself with your image.
You know, Konoha's methods are a hundred times more clever than this guy!
Seeing this scene, Fuzamaze's heart felt as if he was severely touched by something invisible.
【For people like me,】
【Sir, you...】
As if he had made some kind of determination in his heart, he raised his face and said to himself:
"I, Fushima Se, am an information dealer traveling in the Country of Yu."
"I should have done something that I'm sorry for everyone before. I'm sorry!"
"Last night, I was fortunate enough to meet this leader of the Uchiha clan. Under his guidance, I decided to change my mind."
"I don't ask for everyone's forgiveness, but if I do something that would be sorry for everyone again,"
"Just like this finger!"
As he spoke, he suddenly turned into a ferocious face, took out a meat-cutting knife from his arms and slashed it towards the little finger of his left hand.
