Meticulous Deployment, War Descends Once More
Ye Liangnai actually succeeded.
Wouldn't that be telling others that anyone with power can rebel?
How can they maintain their prominent positions then?
They quickly contacted their respective ninja villages, asking them to send troops to stop Kirigakure!
This time, Ye Liangnai has truly incurred the wrath of the masses, crossing the taboo line of the Five Great Nations.
They would never allow this taboo to be broken, otherwise, their situation would be extremely dangerous!
A new great war that will affect the entire Shinobi World is about to begin!
For a time, the entire Shinobi World was filled with panic.
When the news reached Kirigakure, it caused great panic among the Kirigakure, who felt as if the end of the world had come.
They all complained about Ye Liangnai, asking why she had provoked the Daimyo of the Land of Water and acted like a hero.
Now look what's happened, they've gotten themselves into this mess!
Now, everyone in Kirigakure is going to be killed by him!
However, what these four daimyo could never have imagined was that Konoha and Kumogakure would suddenly falter at this crucial moment!
In Konoha, the Uchiha Clan suddenly rebelled, so fast that even the Konoha High Command didn't have time to react.
As for Kumogakure, when they learned that Kirigakure was about to be besieged, the Fourth Raikage was the most enthusiastic one.
They immediately mustered their troops and generals, determined to rush over and avenge their previous humiliation, and erase the stain of the Land of Lightning's trading port!
However, the Akatsuki Organization suddenly appeared in their Kumogakure, blocking their path.
Everything happened as if it had been preordained, exactly as planned.
But--
As early as when the orders were first issued for the daimyo of the four great nations to seek the help of their respective ninja villages and unite to attack Kirigakure.
Ye Liangnai had already arrived at Daimyo City with the Daimyo.
And in the name of the daimyo, the relocation of the capital was forcefully approved!
As it turns out, few people can remain unmoved and steadfast in their loyalty to the daimyo when tempted by benefits, status, and resources!
In particular, Ye Liangnai cleverly started by trying to win over the Land of Water /military forces.
Most people join the army for survival; whoever gives them food, they will naturally follow!
In particular, Ye Liangnai treated them much better.
Furthermore, corrupt officials were eliminated, truly talented individuals were promoted, and many injustices were resolved!
It has gained the support of many people.
While Ye Liangnai herself was negotiating with a group of ministers in Daimyo City.
His Water Clone led the Mist Ninja Anbu, which had already gathered 30,000 troops around the Daimyo City!
Furthermore, even more troops are surrendering!
The reason is simple: the current Daimyo of the Land of Water is extremely stingy with funding for military affairs.
That's bad enough, but the real problem is that corruption is rampant in the military, making life extremely difficult for the lower-ranking soldiers.
Sure enough, as soon as they heard that Ye Liangnai was recruiting soldiers and offering very good conditions, they naturally came.
While the Water Clone's efforts to gather troops were progressing smoothly—
The relocation of the capital is also a done deal under the control of Ye Liangnai herself!
Following the relocation of the capital, Ye Liangnai immediately established a new institution within the Shogunate.
The daimyo is the head of the Shogunate, and he also has two advisors and strategists. The important national affairs of the Land of Water are discussed and decided by them.
The selection of advisors and strategists must be approved by both Kirigakure and the Daimyo in order to be effective!
In reality, Kirigakure indirectly usurped the rule of the Land of Water!
Of course, the reason why the ministers of the Land of Water cooperated so well was...
Firstly, many people have already been bribed, the tide has turned, and many people have no choice but to submit in order to save their lives!
The second reason is that Ye Liangnai killed four ministers in one go, which intimidated them!
That is, the Finance Minister, the Minister of Etiquette, the Minister of Personnel, and the Minister of Justice.
Only the Minister of Construction, who was away conducting research, and the Minister of War, who had submitted, escaped unharmed.
If the four pillar ministers were killed without cause, the ministers would naturally object.
However, Ye Liangnai listed all the despicable things they had done.
Furthermore, all of them can be supported by real evidence, and there is no fault in them.
Immediately afterwards, in front of all the officials, Ye Liangnai beheaded four ministers.
That scene made many people give up their desire to resist.
They truly experienced what it means to be at the mercy of others, like fish on a chopping board.
Whether they were convinced or not, they dared not disobey Ye Liangnai's orders until the final result was in, lest they lose their lives for no reason!
The relocation of the capital proceeded smoothly!
Ye Liangnai immediately led the 40,000 surrendered soldiers, along with 500,000 people, merchants, and others from Daimyo City, heading towards Kirigakure by land and water.
Yes, that's right!
The new capital of the Land of Water is located right next to Kirigakure.
From now on, Daimyo City and Kirigakure will be one family!
Everyone understands the purpose of doing this.
Better control over the daimyo and his retainers!
Moreover, any rebellion around Kirigakure will be dealt with most brutally, allowing Ye Liangnai to better control the situation!
Until Ye Liangnai arrived at the prosperous town of Oruryu Town near Kirigakure with an army of hundreds of thousands.
The Five Great Ninja Villages had just received orders from their respective daimyo to send troops to attack Kirigakure.
It can be said that Ye Liangnai has gained an absolute advantage in this upcoming war.
This in itself is a huge advantage, giving him time to deploy his forces and avoid being caught off guard.
Of course, the people of Kirigakure reacted strongly to Ye Liangnai, who had brought them disaster.
Their initial praise, worship, and awe turned into insults and complaints.
An oppressive and despairing atmosphere permeated the entire Kirigakure.
Many of the elders who originally admired Ye Liangnai now felt disappointed in Ye Liangnai.
Ye Liangnai's actions this time have brought a huge crisis to Kirigakure.
With the four major ninja villages launching a joint attack, how could they possibly withstand it!
You have to understand, back then, facing just one Kumogakure was already a catastrophe for them.
For the first time, Mei Terumi showed a complex expression towards Ye Liangnai: disappointment, despair, reluctance, and a sigh.
Not all ninja villages can withstand the attacks of the four great ninja villages like Konoha did back then.
Moreover, even a powerful Konoha had to fight against the four great ninja villages one after another, paying a heavy price before barely winning.
Besides, can Kirigakure compare to Konoha back then?
There were too many heroes in Konoha back then!
Outside, there are the Third Hokage, the Sannin, and the Yellow Flash leading the charge.
The group includes Hokage Advisor Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, Shikamaru Nara, who offer strategic advice.
Danzo was secretly putting pressure on the major ninja villages!
Not to mention that Konoha had a strong basic military force and a large number of people at that time!
There are also advanced medical technologies, logistics and transportation technologies, and so on!
What does Kirigakure have to compare with them?
