Having Nothing Better to Do

I thought I would see Ye Liangnai's murderous intent boiling over, as she deployed her troops and demanded an explanation from the daimyo of the Land of Water.

However, what appeared before Ye Liangnai Mei Terumi was that Yorana was handling matters with utmost composure, managing the Anbu in an orderly manner.

It can be said that he has the position of the head of the Anbu without the title.

"What a rare guest, sister! What brings you here?"

"All the tasks are done? Looks like I should take on less responsibility? Otherwise, I could go out and have some fun!"

Ye Liangnai stood up and said jokingly.

"You heard those declarations from the Daimyo of the Land of Water, didn't you? And you... haven't taken any action at all?"

Mei Terumi said in disbelief, "This is truly a case of the sun rising in the west!"

"Heh, an expected reaction, so..."

Ye Liangnai replied with a smile, but this made Mei Terumi suddenly understand.

Then he pleaded, "Xiao Ye, how do you plan to handle this? Please don't let things get out of hand!"

"Just let the daimyo of the Land of Water know he's made a mistake! What's most important is not to cause chaos in the Land of Water!"

Disrupting the Land of Water won't do much good for the development of Kirigakure.

"Don't worry, sister, I know what I'm doing! I won't let the Land of Water descend into chaos!"

Ye Liangnai smiled and assured him that she meant no harm whatsoever!

But he thought to himself, "Arrogance and haughtiness are deeply ingrained in the hearts of the rulers and ministers of the Land of Water."

"It won't shatter without being struck hard with a hammer, and no one will know its power and thus restrain themselves!"

"Either don't do it at all, or do it big!"

"I want them to know that Kirigakure is not a piece of meat in their hands, to be bullied at will!"

Ye Liangnai never really believed in benevolent teachings. If benevolent teachings could really be used, then what would be the point of fists!

In this world, there will never be a shortage of people who fear power but not morality.

If you try to talk to them nicely, they won't listen; instead, they'll just take advantage of you even more.

Ye Liangnai's motto is: knock them down first, then talk about reason!

Only when you're beaten down will they listen to your reasoning!

"Real?"

Mei Terumi didn't believe it!

Is Ye Liangnai really that easy to talk to?

"Of course it's true!"

Ye Liangnai patted her chest again to assure him.

Mei Terumi: "Don't lie to me! Xiao Ye, really, this is important, we can't be careless!"

Ye Liangnai agreed, nodding repeatedly, "I definitely will!"

"Oh, right, sister, don't rush to negotiate with the daimyo of the Land of Water. Let me go first! If my method doesn't work, then you can try!"

Mei Terumi nodded to indicate that she understood, and then left.

"The daimyo of the Land of Water? Hmph, you really think highly of yourself!"

The moment Mei Terumi left, Ye Liangnai suddenly seemed like a different person, her whole body shrouded in a chilling killing intent, cold and intimidating!

"Cut off economic support? Cancel policy benefits? Hmph, do you think we can't survive without your economic support?"

"I'd like to see if you can still hold onto your position as daimyo without the deterrent power of Kirigakure!"

Who is responsible for the fact that the Daimyo of the Land of Water and his ministers live such a comfortable life in such a safe and stable environment?

Is it the 100,000-strong army of the Land of Water?

Or perhaps those masters from the Daimyo City?

No, it was the intimidation of tens of thousands of ninjas from Kirigakure that made it possible!

"Since you're so heartless, then I have no qualms about it and I won't tolerate your bad habits anymore!"

Meanwhile, the measures taken by the Daimyo of the Land of Water against Kirigakure have already caused a great stir and heated discussions.

The Land of Water's Daimyo versus Kirigakure – it looks like a very exciting show to watch.

"What has provoked the Daimyo of the Land of Water to cancel economic aid to Kirigakure? Is he planning to sever ties with Kirigakure?"

"But what benefit would this bring to the daimyo of the Land of Water?"

"The existence of Kirigakure provides a strong guarantee for the stability of the Land of Water."

"Their falling out is not a good thing for either of them!"

——

"Perhaps the daimyo of the Land of Water has already found a way to replace Kirigakure, otherwise why would he suddenly target Kirigakure?"

"I heard that they divided up 90% of the trading ports in the Land of Lightning Kirigakure had secured, leaving only 10% for Kirigakure, and with many harsh conditions attached!"

"Which of the previous daimyo was less wise than the current one?"

"But not only did they not target Kirigakure, they also frequently offered various preferential policies, and the cooperation between the country and the ninja village was very pleasant."

"The current leader can't be called a genius, but he's not incompetent either. If he didn't have the confidence, how could he dare to attack Kirigakure!"

These are the views of the people within the Land of Water.

To be fair, they didn't want to see a conflict between the nation and the ninja village, because in the end, they would be the ones to suffer.

Outside the Land of Water, people's opinions differ from those of the people of the Land of Water!

For example, the daimyo of the Land of Fire!

Upon hearing this, his first reaction was disbelief, followed by elation, and then he couldn't help but scoff.

"Is he just bored and has nothing better to do?"

"Intentionally provoking conflict to weaken Kirigakure? Isn't that shooting themselves in the foot?"

If he were the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he would never have acted like the rulers and ministers of the Land of Water, seizing what rightfully belonged to the ninja village and inciting conflict.

He would never take something he shouldn't.

The ninja village and the daimyo each controlled different aspects of life: one held military power, and the other held economic power.

Only when the two sides coexist peacefully can this country enjoy peace and tranquility.

Non-cooperation from any party could disrupt the security and tranquility of the entire country!

Weakening the ninja villages doesn't do the country much good!

I would never do that unless absolutely necessary!

Of course, there are many others who share the same thoughts as the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

For example, the daimyo of the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, Feudal Lord of the Land of Wind!

Of course, the Land of Water would be happy to see Kirigakure weakened!

At that time, they can send their respective ninja villages to divide up the Land of Water.

Without the shield of Kirigakure protecting the Land of Water, it would have absolutely no chance of resistance!

However, it wasn't that no one supported the idea of the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

For example, the small countries surrounding the Land of Water, the Land of Tides, the Land of Rainbows, and so on!

But don't get me wrong, their support for the Daimyo of the Land of Water isn't because they think what the Land of Water is doing is right.

If the Land of Water and the Kirigakure break ties, they will have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Cooperating with the Land of Water is cooperation, but isn't cooperating with these small countries also cooperation?

With the support of Kirigakure, how could we not rise to become one of the new Five Great Nations?

What enabled the Land of Water to become one of the Five Great Nations? The support from the Kirigakure is definitely one of the most important reasons!

Without the support of Kirigakure, it would be impossible for the Land of Water to deter the surrounding powers and smaller nations that are eyeing it covetously, and to develop its economy in a stable manner.
