One Spear Wounds the Heavenly Dao
Uchiha Kō not to kill these ninjas from another timeline who dared to attack Konoha was already an act of pity. As for them, did they really expect to freeload here?
Why not let them go? They feel no belonging in this world. If left unchecked, what might this newly arrived group do?
When people are oppressed, starving, and on the verge of death, their nature will instinctively give rise to the thought of robbery.
If someone tries to steal something and is stopped, then kill them. That's how the Ninja World works—survival of the fittest.
Currently, most of the Ninja World's vital forces are concentrated in the city. If they are left unchecked, the world will surely descend into chaos. Uchiha Kō is also the ruler of humanity; if the world descends into chaos and people's hearts are scattered, it will severely impact his power of humanity and destiny.
He had tried to treat the prisoners well, but he received no reward in the form of humanitarian blessings from them.
He understood that the villagers from these different times and spaces wouldn't increase his humanitarian fortune, so there was no need to be polite to them.
Does that mean that once prisoners are captured, they're expected to be well-fed and clothed?
Of course, they weren't left without a way to survive. As long as they worked hard, they would have plenty of food and even some money. They could also open various shops near the prisoner-of-war camp and earn the money back.
After seeing Uchiha Kō's detailed plan, he gasped. Uchiha Kō was a devil. Cheap laborers didn't even realize they were cheap laborers, and were very happy working for him.
He handed the proposal to Hatake Sakumo and said, "Third brother, take a look."
Hatake Sakumo took the document, glanced at it, and nodded. "Very good. These policies are very suitable for resettling prisoners. When I passed by the prisoner-of-war camp today, I even heard the ninjas there praising the Lord Hokage."
Nara Rokumei smiled and said, "You're only seeing the surface. Look at the prices of these goods; they're twice as expensive as what we usually use."
"That means those prisoners have to pay three times the price for our goods because of the information gap; they don't know the price of these things, they only know their purpose."
"They've never seen these things in their own world, yet they buy them willingly. They're workers who are as cheap as they can be," Nara Rokumei said.
"Moreover, they can only use the currency we give them for spending; Brother specifically instructed that they cannot use the loose silver."
"This effectively avoids inflation, currency devaluation, and prevents a large influx of foreign capital into the market."
Hatake Sakumo nodded as he listened to his second Nara Rokumei's, analysis. "As expected of the eldest brother, he even thought of these things!"
"That's not all!" Nara Rokumei said calmly. He got up and sat on the floor, perhaps the coolness of the floor helped him stay calm.
He glanced at the doorway, his eyes dark, and said, "He's not just that simple. In the end, the money, barely warmed by the captives, returned to his own hands through our shop."
"We only used one unit of resources to get people to do three times the work. Luckily, this tactic was used against prisoners. If merchants used it against their own people..." Nara Rokumei seemed to have grasped something called capital from this.
Hatake Sakumo nodded. Although he was slow to react, seeing his second brother like this, he couldn't help but admire his eldest brother.
Everyone knows that Nara Rokumei is always composed in any situation, yet he was terrified by Uchiha Kō's policy, which undoubtedly demonstrates Uchiha Kō's excellence.
After gathering his thoughts, Nara Rokumei looked up and met Hatake Sakumo's clear eyes. He smiled and shook his head. Hatake Sakumo was good at leading troops and carrying out assassination missions, but he still didn't quite understand these economic tactics.
Nara Rokumei stood up and patted his backside. "Third brother, if you don't understand, don't think about it anymore. Anyway, we still have a lot to learn. This method of dealing with prisoners is very good."
Hatake Sakumo nodded. He did whatever his second and eldest brothers told him to do. It was really difficult for him to figure out the intricacies of the situation.
Three days passed quickly.
The figures of the Five Kage from different generations slowly appeared, their faces showing varying degrees of excitement. During this period of training in the simulated environment, they had not only become proficient in using new weapons, but also, under the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, each of them had developed some Ninjutsu.
How could someone who can become the leader of a village be weak in talent? They were simply overshadowed by the prodigies of their time.
"Everyone, cultivation is finished. We will be teleporting soon. Are you ready?" Heavenly Dao said with a smile.
The Five Kage of past generations remained silent, all looking towards the Heavenly Dao. "Just because we didn't do our job well doesn't mean we can stop fighting! To put it bluntly, we are just pawns you use to quell the extraterrestrial demons."
Anger is meaningless to you, but for us, the price is death.
Heavenly Dao understood its own actions, so it changed the subject. "Alright, who wants to go first?"
The First Raikage was the first to rush in. The teleportation array flickered and sent the First Raikage to the battlefield.
The moment he appeared, he attracted attention, and Konoha's scouts immediately began to report the news.
Nara Rokumei made a quick decision and went to inform Uchiha Kō. Upon receiving the news, Uchiha Kō smiled and rushed towards the door with his blood-red spear in hand.
When Uchiha Kō arrived at the city gate, he ordered the gate to be opened and then slowly walked outside.
Uchiha Kō held a red spear on his shoulder. With each step he took, his Chakra was released, a purple sage mask appeared, and his golden dragon scale armor enveloped him.
Outside the gate, on the battlefield, the Five Kage of all generations were still teleporting. The First and Second Kage had all arrived and, upon noticing something amiss in the city, all looked toward the gate.
A handsome young man appeared, clad in golden armor and helmet, wielding a crimson spear. He had striking features, including sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a purple immortal mask adorning his face, which added to his imposing presence.
Looking behind him, the massive Chakra, almost condensed into liquid, was constantly radiating outwards. The First Kazekage swallowed hard. He wanted to draw his sword, but found that his hand was trembling.
It's no wonder the First Kazekage this way; even Uchiha and Senju Hashirama, who were contemporaries, couldn't do this!
The First Tsuchikage frowned and shielded everyone in front of him. He knew that the first bird to stick its head out would be shot. Right now, Uchiha Kō's aura alone was overwhelming. If a fight broke out, the one who attacked first would be at a disadvantage.
The First Mizukage chuckled, made no move, and simply looked at his teammates beside him before closing his eyes to rest.
The First Raikage First Raikage moved! He immediately Lightning Release Chakra Mode, donned the Lightning Release Armor, put on the gauntlets given to him by Heavenly Dao, and unleashed One-Finger Nukite aimed directly at Uchiha Kō's heart.
His sudden burst of speed was indeed incredible, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, his blue Chakra surging forward at breakneck speed as he charged toward Uchiha Kō.
The First Raikage's intervention greatly alleviated the concerns of the others, but their attention was all focused on the figure in golden armor.
Seeing the First Raikage charging towards him, Uchiha Kō became slightly more serious. He took down his spear with his right hand, then, timing it perfectly, unleashed a sweeping attack! Dragon Tail Swing!
The spear spun once, and the tip struck the First Raikage, causing him to freeze in place and be sent flying into the mountains.
Silence fell over the entire room.
The First Raikage's speed had just reached its limit, making it difficult to discern with the naked eye. The lightning that erupted from his hands was almost at the Six Paths level in terms of combat power.
Yet, this powerful figure was easily swept away by Uchiha Kō and sent crashing into the Yamanaka Clan, causing the hearts of the Kage to pound wildly.
Seeing his father being driven into the mountains, the Second Raikage's face turned crimson. He said, "Everyone, even if Uchiha Kō's strength is unparalleled, he can't possibly kill us all before he runs out of Chakra!"
"Therefore, everyone, please follow me into battle to kill Uchiha Kō. Then, you will all be able to enjoy wealth and glory in your own time and space!" He directly imitated the way the Heavenly Dao painted a rosy picture for all the shadows.
However, everyone had their own thoughts, and apart from the Kumogakure, almost everyone looked at the Second Raikage with a hint of looking at him as an idiot.
Back then, everyone was only afraid of the power of the Heavenly Dao. Now, what right do you, a Second Raikage, have to order us around?
The Second Raikage looked at them in disbelief. They had all come together, so why weren't they making a move?
Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao let out a cold snort in the universe. This sound traveled through countless light-years, yet it was still audible to the other Kage Level.
The First and Second Hokage were forced to draw their swords against Uchiha Kō.
Upon hearing Heavenly Dao's words, Uchiha Kō sneered, pointed his spear at the sky, and then poured Chakra into it, Blood Jade Coiling Dragon Spear even more crimson.
Then Uchiha Kō performed a spear flourish, finally concentrating his power at the tip of his spear. "Coiling Dragon Isshiki, Take the Head of Ten Thousand Armies!"
A beam of red light shot out, heading straight for the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao's pupils contracted, and it immediately used the power of its Heavenly Dao fortune to create a cloud shield to block the light. However, in just one second, the light pierced through the cloud shield and struck the Heavenly Dao.
Heavenly Dao coughed up blood and knelt on the ground. The Karmic Sin within him had been stirred up by the spear, and he could only regulate his breathing to recover his condition while forcibly suppressing the Karmic Sin.
During the restoration of the Heavenly Dao, no one dared to disturb him.
Even though the Heavenly Dao is injured, its power is still beyond what these people can compare to.
As Heavenly Dao recovered, he cursed inwardly, "Where did this bastard get his marksmanship and weapon? That attack was incredibly powerful!"
Heavenly Dao smiled bitterly to himself, and then focused all his efforts on recovery.
Uchiha Kō's eyes shone brightly, as if they could pierce through space. He saw the Heavenly Dao injured and weakened, and couldn't help but smile.
Although the Five Kage throughout history didn't know what he was doing, judging from the looks of it, it seems he succeeded?
