"You ignorant fools! Do you really think our Northern Lands are made of clay?"
Orochimaru was also awakened by a series of explosions. Although he was somewhat prepared, he did not expect them to be so crazy.
If it were Blue Star, the most they would do when probing other countries would be to cross the line and cause some trouble, but they would never act so recklessly.
Of course, the two worlds have different combat systems and ways of doing things, so this unique way of probing is quite common.
In a flash, Orochimaru arrived on the roof of the Golden Shadow Office Building, glanced around, and then snorted coldly.
The inner city wasn't greatly affected. If it were a complete mess Orochimaru would probably be yelling at people in tomorrow's meeting.
"We must establish a protective barrier after this!"
The main reason for such a big commotion is that the Northern Lands has not yet established a barrier. Even a major ninja village like Konoha would have a complete barrier covering it.
In the Northern Lands, everything has to be started from scratch, and talent in this area is indeed quite scarce.
Unlike the Sealing Squad, the Sealing Squad in Takigakure were readily available because of the existence of Tailed Beasts.
After sensing the area, Orochimaru didn't linger and dashed towards the source of the intense Chakra fluctuations.
In the northern part of the Northern Lands, two figures were clashing violently, their moves wide and sweeping, completely disregarding the surrounding buildings.
It was Kisame and Yugito, and not only them, but also many other ninjas fighting nearby.
Some houses have collapsed or caught fire, and many villagers have already fled in panic. Some villagers who are slower to move are also leaving quickly under the command of the ninjas in the Northern Lands.
Is Kumogakure planning to start a war?
Kisame delivered a powerful slash that Yugito flying.
To cause such a commotion on his turf, he, as the leader of the Shadow Guard, will definitely be scolded afterwards.
"Your unauthorized annexation of neighboring small countries has disrupted the balance of the Ninja World. We, the Land of Lightning, have the obligation and responsibility to stop you!"
Yugito shook her numb arm. Facing Samehada, the Kunai in her hand was practically a toy, putting her at a disadvantage from the start.
I thought this ninja village would be similar to other ninja villages, but I didn't expect to encounter such a tough opponent right away.
Having just broken through the inner city and been discovered before they could even conduct a thorough investigation, their level of vigilance is unmatched by ordinary ninja villages.
Little did she know that although there were few sensory ninjas in the Northern Lands, this was a ninja village that was developing high technology.
Orochimaru had already had the Research Department invent Chakra Radar, which could Chakra Radar the distribution of ninjas within a ten-kilometer radius.
Any strong Chakra fluctuation will appear on the radar, and just by looking at it, you can tell where someone is causing trouble, which is why Kisame was able to find her so quickly.
"Oh? It seems the Hidden Cloud Village is used to being domineering, huh? Are they planning to use the same tactics they used on Konoha on us?"
Before Kisame could refute, a figure appeared on the roof between the two of them—it was Orochimaru.
When it comes to eloquence, the honest and simple Kisame can't win against him. Besides, look at what he's saying!
Why does this tone sound so familiar? It seems like a certain major power in my past life often interfered in the affairs of other countries under the guise of peace.
Although the Northern Lands is a newly established ninja village, it can become Osama bin Laden even when bullied to its own doorstep!
"Hmph... It's an undeniable fact that you've been encroaching on the territory of various small countries! Besides, even Konoha doesn't dare to easily start a war with us, do you think you're worthy?"
Seeing another ninja in the same attire arrive, Yugito felt even more pressured, but he didn't hold back his words.
In this day and age, whoever is stronger is right. The Eight-Nation Alliance not only burned, killed, and looted China, but also forced the Qing Dynasty to cede territory and pay reparations. So it doesn't really matter who started the war.
The important thing is that their Land of Lightning is powerful, so they dare to be so arrogant!
"It seems necessary to give Kumogakure a piece of our mind!"
While the two were talking, Hozuki Mangetsu and Ringo Ameyuri also arrived. The rest of the people were just small fry, and Pakura and Zabuza could handle them.
Seeing the growing number of Northern Lands ninjas, Yugito secretly groaned. Moreover, judging from Orochimaru's words, they didn't seem to be afraid of Kumogakure at all.
With that thought in mind, Yugito had no intention of continuing the fight and turned to run out of the village.
Orochimaru thought this girl was quite brave, but she ran away as soon as she saw that his signboard couldn't intimidate her. That was quite decisive of him.
"Take them alive!"
Upon hearing this, the group quickly gave chase, not in a hurry to fight, as a fight in the city would only result in the loss of their own property.
Moreover, everyone here is restricted; if they could escape right under their noses, they'd be finished.
Tomorrow, let's go guard the pond in the back mountains of the Northern Lands!
The following day, the core members of the Northern Lands gathered again in the conference room.
"Nearly a hundred ninjas from various villages came to probe, and apart from a dozen or so who escaped, the rest have all been dealt with!"
Pakura distributed a report for everyone to review.
Last night, none of the ninjas from various countries who participated managed to escape the Northern Lands. Are you kidding me? Terrorist attacks don't leave survivors, do they?
Moreover, most of these people are responsible for espionage work and rarely wear their own ninja Forehead Protector to cause trouble.
Of course, besides the Kumogakure, there are exceptions like the Root Konoha, who commit suicide when captured.
"What about casualties and property losses?"
Orochimaru wasn't surprised to hear this; such a scattered attack couldn't possibly have no survivors. He then looked at Kakuzu, who was in charge of this matter.
"Two people died, five were seriously injured, and more than fifty were slightly injured... The estimated property loss is around 1.5 to 1.6 million taels of silver!"
With dark Kakuzu angrily slammed a report onto the conference table.
He didn't care about the casualties; he might feel a little pain from the property losses, but the main thing was getting him to work overtime all night to finish the reports.
He wasn't good at these things, but he had no choice but to do them because of his position!
"Let's all speak up! What are your thoughts?"
After hearing the series of events, everyone present fell into deep thought. Their response last night was very timely, but there were still deaths.
This was just their initial probe; they hadn't caused any major damage yet, otherwise the consequences would have been much more serious.
"There are too many outsiders. If there were a barrier in the inner city, it would be much easier for us to deal with them!"
Pakura was the first to express her opinion. She came from Sunagakure, and her village had a complete Barrier Team, so she had a relatively broad understanding of this area.
"It's one thing for others to sneak around, but for the ninjas from Kumogakure to launch such a blatant attack is going too far!"
Mifune, who had a very low profile, finally spoke up. He had now gotten into character, considering that many villagers from the Land of Iron had integrated into the Northern Lands.
Moreover, one of the people who died last night was originally from the Land of Iron, so it's only right and proper for him to speak out.
"Yugito and that vice-captain are still alive, aren't they? Let their Raikage come and rescue them personally!"
