News of what happened that night quickly spread throughout the entire Ninja world.
The Third Ai led an elite squad, unleashing the Two-Tailed to launch a surprise attack on the main force of the Rock Shadow.
Ōnoki was ambushed and injured, falling into a coma.
The Third Ai single-handedly broke through the encirclement of Iwa ninja.
All sorts of rumors are flying around the Ninja world.
The smaller ninja villages in the Ninja world were waiting to see the grand spectacle of the four-way ninja alliance attacking Amegakure, but instead Kumogakure and Iwagakure started fighting amongst themselves.
However, the truth cannot be hidden forever, and the cause of this conflict was quickly uncovered.
It is said that Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure conspired to frame Kumogakure.
Konoha Hatake, the Hatake Sakumo, once again struck, joining forces with the three villages to carry out a shocking scam. The entire Kumogakure was fleeced by a fraudulent company, suffering heavy losses and ultimately forced to take retaliatory action in desperation.
The victims of the Land of Fire futures scheme and the victims of the Land of Lightning Ponzi scheme immediately resonated with each other.
It turns out that the Hatake Sakumo, also committed heinous crimes in the Land of Lightning ( Land of Fire )!!
This damned bastard must be eliminated!
Hatake Sakumo's reputation soared like a rocket, with more and more victims learning about his deeds, and the bounty on his head skyrocketed once again, even surpassing Hanzo the Salamander.
The entire Ninja world is watching this drama unfold.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ninja world immediately voiced its condemnation of Iwagakure's shameless actions in the Kumogakure.
The Iwagakure and the Kumogakure formed an alliance, but the Hidden Cloud Village betrayed their ally in the end. They deserved this calamity!
Kumogakure is the victim!!
Of course, Kumogakure also took the opportunity to condemn Konoha and Sunagakure, using strong language and expressing strong emotions.
The spokesperson for Kumogakure choked up and cried as he spoke; his entire performance was purely emotional, without any acting skills.
He must have invested a lot of money in Blue Sky Project Co. Ltd..
Konoha, without hesitation, issued a statement of reciprocity throughout the Ninja world, declaring that all of this was a slander by Kumogakure.
What Ponzi scheme?
What is Blue Sky Project Co. Ltd..?
It's all slander!
How could someone as pure and virtuous Konoha do such a thing!
What about Konoha White Fang, Konoha's Scythe, and Mr. Pangzi?
No, buddy?
Does Konoha have a ninja named White Fang, Mr. Pangzi?
Not only that, Konoha even turned around and accused the Third Ai, of embezzling village funds, illegally raising funds within the village, and ultimately failing in his business investments.
Konoha leveraged its distribution channels, using television, magazines, and even erotic films to spread rumors and fabricate scandals about Kumogakure.
They started by attacking people over trivial matters, and then brought up the incident of Tobirama Senju being attacked and killed during Tobirama Senju, generating a huge amount of traffic.
The criticism and attacks even escalated to the point of targeting skin color.
You black people are just born bad!
They actually launched a sneak attack at the negotiating table!
He is violent and cunning, simple-minded, and physically strong.
The mouthpieces cultivated in the Ninja world over the years also joined in speaking out for Konoha. These people, who received funding from Konoha, spared no effort to whitewash Konoha and praise everything about Konoha.
At the same time, they praised the powerful while belittling the weak, ruthlessly denigrating and smearing the Kumogakure.
Konoha is far ahead in guiding public opinion!!
We're way ahead, everyone!
The Sunagakure was astonished by the Konoha's shamelessness and powerful public relations skills, and joined the Konoha in condemning the Kumogakure's slanderous behavior.
As for Iwagakure, Ōnoki was unconscious for a whole day. Then, dragging his injured body, he led the Iwagakure ninja forces to clean up the mess. This caused his public relations skills to be a step behind. By the time Ōnoki realized what was happening, the Ninja world's public opinion had already nailed Iwagakure to the pillar of shame.
The Ninja world is full of liberals who can accept bullying, but their attitude towards backstabbing dogs is surprisingly consistent, much like how prisoners treat rapists.
Backstabbing dogs deserve to be killed by everyone!!
With things having come to this point, Iwagakure had no choice but to join Konoha in issuing a statement of condemnation. Since their reputation was already ruined, no one could expect to get away with it.
The situation in the Ninja world has once again become shrouded in mystery, making it difficult to see how things will unfold in the future.
The Third Mizukage Kirigakure, Suitō, leading the vanguard of Kirigakure, had just arrived at the port on the coast when he was taken aback by the situation on the mainland.
This script is wrong!
It looks like a Ninja world war is happening again!
Therefore, the Third Mizukage, Suitō, immediately ordered the Kirigakure troops to set up camp on the spot.
Let's hold back for now, wait and see how things develop in the Ninja world.
The Third Hokage of Konoha might have also set a trap for Kirigakure!
Hanzo the Salamander of the Salamander, far away in Amegakure, received the latest news from the Ninja world and was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night!
Amegakure finally has a chance to catch its breath!
Although it was indeed satisfying to kill the Daimyo and those nobles, and there were no more annoying mosquitoes buzzing around his head, the serious consequences of doing all this were beyond Hanzo the Salamander's imagination.
The counterattack from the Ninja world Daimyo and nobles was swift and fierce.
The economy has been sanctioned, and all foreign trade has been cut off. Just the inability to import food from other countries has Hanzo the Salamander in a state of chaos.
The weather in the Land of Rain is not suitable for large-scale cooperative farming of grains, and the grain produced each year is definitely not enough to feed the population, so it is extremely dependent on grain imports.
The Land of Rain's food trade has now come to a standstill, relying solely on Konoha's support and the activities of those reckless smugglers.
The grain smugglers were selling at prices that were practically robbery, but Hanzo the Salamander had no choice but to bite the bullet and buy it; he couldn't let his few grain supply channels be cut off.
The Hokage of Konoha is truly an honest man; the price of grain only tripled, which is a very reasonable price.
Moreover, Amegakure was only concerned with having fun at the time, and the nobles were either killed or fled to other countries.
Although the insects are greedy and weak, when it comes to managing a country and ensuring its stable operation, they are the experts, while the ninjas of Amegakure are complete amateurs.
The internal management of Amegakure is in complete chaos.
Externally, the four major ninja villages mobilized together to attack the Amegakure.
The turbulent situation, both internal and external, weighed heavily on Hanzo the Salamander's mind, making it hard for him to breathe.
Things are finally getting better!
At least for the time being, the Allied Shinobi Forces will definitely not be able to be formed.
With external threats largely reduced, the remaining task is to resolve the country's internal affairs. Although the situation is still dire, it is certainly much better than before!
"Is all of this under Konoha's control?"
Hanzo the Salamander analyzed the situation in the Ninja world. The Third Hokage of Konoha had already written to him, advising him not to rush things, but to be patient and bide his time. He could find a Daimyo willing to cooperate and obey, but he should not exterminate the Daimyo and nobles.
Bad order is always better than no order at all.
If you're going to tear everything down and start over, then you need to be fully prepared.
Unfortunately, I didn't heed the Lord Hokage's words at the time, and my rash actions caused everything in the Land of Rain to collapse.
Could the Hokage have foreseen my actions and laid a trap in Kumogakure long ago, then detonated it during the siege of Amegakure, destroying the combined ninja forces of the four great ninja villages with a single move?
That's truly terrifying!
It was all too coincidental, a coincidence that Hanzo the Salamander found unbelievable.
Then, Hanzo the Salamander looked at the little red book that always sat on his desk and couldn't help but chuckle.
Where do so many coincidences come from in this world?
He truly deserves to be called the great man who wrote the new version of The Will of Fire. His vision and strategic depth are beyond my reach!
A forest in the Land of Fire
" Otōto, are you sure the Two-Tailed Cat escaped to the Land of Land of Fire?"
"Of course, elder brother, I've had White Zetsu constantly tracking the Two-Tailed!"
Black Zetsu's tone was extremely certain.
The Tailed Beast were extremely important for Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection.
After discovering that the Two-Tailed had escaped the encirclement of the Iwa ninja and become a wild Tailed Beast, Black Zetsu immediately returned to Konoha to inform Uchiha Nan to capture the Two-Tailed!
Uchiha Nan was naturally overjoyed by this news; his family's power plant had received another free generator!
After arranging his work, Uchiha Nan immediately followed Black Zetsu to capture the Tailed Beast. After two days of intense running, Uchiha Nan decided to stop and rest.
He sent Black Zetsu to find out the location of the Two-Tailed Cat; he didn't want to take a detour.
"Brother, just hang in there a little longer, we're almost there!"
"All right."
Uchiha Nan took out three Soldier Pill from his pocket and ate them as he walked. These were special Soldier Pill made for him by Tobirama Senju, and they were even chocolate-flavored.
"Meow!!"
"That's the taste!!"
"So awesome!!!"
Uchiha Nan quickly heard the noise from the Two-Tailed, sped up, and arrived at a nearby open field, where the Two-Tailed was rolling around in a clump of grass, eating it heartily.
"Is that catnip?"
Uchiha Nan watched as the Two-Tailed Cat's tongue rolled outwards, its eyes gradually losing their light; its expression was exactly the same as Manji's when he was eating catnip.
Cats are so cute, they all love this!
Who is it!
"Meow!!"
A flawless version after checking every single one!
Two-Tailed Cat was enjoying a happiness it hadn't felt in decades when it suddenly sensed someone approaching.
" The Two-Tailed Cat is quite alert, much more so than my stupid cat. Ever since I became Hokage, I've become completely corrupt and decadent, spending my days aimlessly wandering the streets of Konoha."
Uchiha Nan sighed as he walked towards the Two-Tailed Cat.
"Brother, be careful!"
Black Zetsu, hidden on the ground, warned Uchiha Nan not to underestimate his opponent.
"Don't worry, wild Tailed Beast will be tamed like house cats in front of the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Uchiha Nan didn't take the Two-Tailed seriously. Tailed Beast inside a Jinchuriki's body cannot be easily controlled by the Sharingan's power, but the Two-Tailed was a wild Tailed Beast.
"Humans!"
"Damn humans!!"
Upon seeing Uchiha Nan, the Two-Tailed cat immediately bristled, roared, and charged towards Uchiha Nan.
"Although I love cats, disobedient cats need to be disciplined!"
Scythe-shaped patterns appeared on Uchiha Nan's eyes, and the moment their eyes met, the powerful Mangekyō Sharingan instantly invaded the Two-Tailed Cat's mental space.
Two-Tailed Cat's Spiritual Space
"Hello, kitty!"
Uchiha Nan looked at the motionless Two-Tailed Cat and greeted it in a friendly manner.
The Two-Tailed cat in the spiritual space is not huge, only a dozen meters tall, but it still has an unruly appearance.
" Mangekyō Sharingan?"
You are Uchiha!
Two-Tailed Cat felt his body was out of control; the powerful and domineering eye force reminded him of unpleasant experiences.
Two black-haired men, one with a kind face and the other with a cold and stern expression, approached him.
But neither of the men were good people!
I didn't do anything, and those two were arrested!
" Two-Tailed cat, your name is Matatabi, right? Be my cat!!"
Uchiha Nan stated his position directly: now that he had caught this adorable big cat, it had to be his cat!
"Impossible!!"
"I am a powerful Tailed Beast, how could I possibly become your pet?!"
After letting out a roar, the Two-Tailed cat immediately rejected Uchiha Nan's suggestion.
"Looks like the cat needs some training."
Uchiha Nan grinned, and a Susanoo appeared on his body, which in the blink of an eye transformed into a hundred-meter-tall Gundam, with one hand holding the Two-Tailed Cat by the scruff of its neck.
"Kitty, you'd better listen to me."
"Otherwise, your fate will be to be sealed away again."
"You Tailed Beast have your own way of communicating. You should have heard of the term Jinchuriki, right? Several of your Tailed Beast brothers have been locked up in a dark room and become the source of power for the Jinchuriki, passing it down from generation to generation, never having a chance to gain freedom."
"Take the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, for example. It's been imprisoned for over a decade, and every day a Jinchūriki chains it into an S-shape and whips its rear end. Its mouth is even tied up, so it can't even make a sound."
Uchiha Nan threatened the Two-Tailed Cat.
The Two-Tailed cat's limbs hung limply at its sides. Listening to Uchiha Nan's words, Chunin imagine the horrific scene of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox being tortured. The once invincible Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had actually fallen to such a state.
Didn't Nine-Tailed Demon Fox say it was doing well in Konoha?
The fox really doesn't tell the truth; he just loves to brag!
If I go to Konoha, will I have to live this kind of life?
No!!
I've only just gained my freedom!!
I've only had a few bites of catnip!!!
The Two-Tailed cat considered Uchiha Nan's words and realized it had no chance of escaping; this eye power was the nemesis of Tailed Beast.
Although agreeing to Uchiha Nan's conditions was a disgrace to the Tailed Beast, it was still better than living the life of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox!
"What are the benefits of me being your cat?"
" Konoha can establish your own conservation area, giving you a large forest as your home, without restricting your freedom. Of course, you'll have to pay rent every month, which is your Chakra. Anyway, your Chakra can be replenished."
Is there anything else?
"Unlimited catnip available!!"
"I'll have people plant a huge patch of catnip in the forest!"
Uchiha Nan stroked his chin and tentatively said something.
"It's a deal then. I'll go back to Konoha with you. You can't mistreat me, you have to guarantee my safety, and you can't restrict my freedom. I can eat as much catnip as I want every day!"
The Two-Tailed cat compromised and yielded, accepting its fate and agreeing to become Uchiha Nan's cat.
"Make a deal!"
"You are my cat, I will protect you!"
"Then let's sign Summoning Contract!"
Uchiha Nan nodded in satisfaction, put the cat down, lifted its belly, and made a mark, feeling that he had established a connection with the Two-Tailed Cat.
