No Schemes or Intrigue? Now You Can't Escape!
"Lord Sanjie, this is the place!"
"Their granary is just ahead!"
A ninja from the Hagoromo Clan pointed to the houses in the distance and said.
Following this direction, Sanjie gazed at the houses guarded by grain merchants in the distance and formulated a battle plan in his mind.
Wearing a mask, Sanjie walked directly out of his hiding place and headed openly towards the other side.
He doesn't need to make battle plans for just a few ninja squads!
Soon, his figure attracted the attention of the guards.
"Who?"
Upon spotting Sanjie, one of the guards immediately adopted a wary stance and asked questions to draw their attention.
At his prompting, the other guards also gathered together.
"This, this is the recently emerged grain thief, 'Kamaitachi'!"
Someone saw Sanjie's mask and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Kamaitachi?"
One of the guards looked at his captain with a bewildered expression, seeking an answer.
"This guy is a grain thief who only appeared in the last few days. Because he is skilled with a sword and moves around mysteriously in battle, cutting enemies like a whirlwind, just like the legendary monster Kamaitachi, he is called Kamaitachi!"
As the captain spoke, cold sweat kept seeping from his palms.
The man before us is called "Kamaitachi" because, like Kamaitachi, no one has ever seen what he looks like!
Keep in mind that among those he fought before, there wasn't just one Jonin squad!
And right now, he's the only Jonin guarding this place!
Oh no... Is this mission going to fail?
As Sanjie drew ever closer, he gritted his teeth and waved to his teammates.
"Withdraw!"
Before he finished speaking, he turned and ran, not daring to waste a moment!
Although abandoning the mission will damage your reputation and reduce the number of missions in the village in the future, your life is your own!
If you don't leave now, you're just waiting to die!
Seeing their captain's disappearing figure, even the slow-witted ninja realized what was happening.
That "Kamaitachi" is definitely not someone they can handle!
"Withdraw!"
Someone shouted and quickly followed in his captain's footsteps.
Soon, the guards scattered like birds and beasts, and no one else stopped them around the warehouse.
"Boring!"
Sanjie muttered to himself as he quickly walked towards the granary and stored it in the Manifest Realm's spatial storage.
It has been ten days since he arrived in the Land of Rivers, and during that time he has seized grain from dozens of grain convoys.
According to the data calculated before the plan, only enough food to barely keep the Land of Wind running was allowed to enter the Land of Wind; the rest was already in his Manifest Realm.
In the Land of Wind, there is almost no grain left in the market.
Their previous grain was bought back at high prices, and now their grain can hardly get into the Land of Wind.
With these reductions, the Land of Wind was plunged into a complete food crisis.
As expected, thanks to the pre-arranged public opinion at the border, a large number of immigrants have already appeared in the Land of Wind!
Based on the principle of proximity, some went to the Land of Rivers, some to the Land of Rain, and others to the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth...
The daimyo of the Land of Wind is reportedly so angry he's cursing his mother!
Tenten are putting pressure on the Sand Ninja who are still fighting Konoha, demanding that they resolve this situation quickly!
Unfortunately, because the Uchiha had already informed Konoha beforehand, all of the Sand Ninja's actions were in vain!
Not only did they fail to contribute anything to the current state of the Land of Wind, but they were also seized upon by Konoha and thoroughly beaten up!
The Rock Ninja and Cloud Ninja, who were allies, did send a batch of food, but unfortunately, they were not only ripped off, but the food was still on its way and it was unknown when it would arrive.
In an instant, the future of the Land of Wind seemed to be right before our eyes!
Why?
Because the Land of Wind has no future!
"Damn it! Why did this happen?!"
On the front lines of the Sand Ninja, Pakura is writhing in a helpless rage.
She was mentally prepared for Uchiha Makoto's revenge, but she never expected him to be so shameless!
"Using such methods, is he even a ninja anymore?!"
Pakura was initially somewhat indifferent to the statement that Uchiha Makoto had sent to her. "Everything that happened to the Land of Wind was caused by her!"
Now, after seeing the intelligence reports of the horrific tragedies caused by food shortages throughout the Land of Wind, she understood!
The intense guilt kept her awake all night.
If it weren't for her, the Land of Wind wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate!
If it weren't for her, the Sand Ninja wouldn't have suffered from low morale and been attacked by Konoha!
If it weren't for her...
"That bastard..."
I will definitely kill you!
Pakura gritted his teeth and spoke each word clearly.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Look at this, what's going on?"
"Miss Pakura?"
At that moment, a flippant voice rang out. The voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to make Pakura turn his head instantly.
"It's you? You scheming villain! I'm the one who offended you, so why are you treating the civilians of the Land of Wind like this!"
Pakura stared at the figure before him, his teeth grinding together.
At this moment, Pakura's eyes were bloodshot from lack of rest for a long time. If someone who didn't know her saw this, they might doubt whether she was actually a member of the Uchiha clan!
"Intrigues and schemes? What intrigues and schemes? It's just using power to intimidate people!"
Uchiha Makoto smiled, his words filled with ease.
"You bastard!"
Pakura, unable to contain his anger, slammed his fist on the table.
Bang!
With a single slap, Pakura shattered a small object that had been placed there into pieces!
Black plastic shards flew everywhere, even splashing onto Uchiha Makoto.
You know what, it actually hurts a little!
Looking at Pakura, who was already slightly deranged due to the pressure, Uchiha Makoto tapped his fingers on the table.
"What? Have you realized your mistake yet?"
"Mistake?"
Pakura, her hair disheveled, glared hatefully at Uchiha Makoto.
"My biggest mistake was meeting you in the desert and being bewitched by your Genjutsu!"
"My mistake was realizing it too late! I didn't expose you to the higher-ups!"
Uchiha Makoto, listening and seeing Pakura's disheveled appearance, also spoke up.
"I've given you a bright future, why are you rebelling against me? There are only a handful of people in the Sand Village who I find worthy of my attention! If you hadn't rebelled, I wouldn't have mobilized such a large force!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Makoto glanced sideways at Pakura, his tone indifferent.
"If I hadn't initially prioritized stability, there would have been far too few capable candidates among the Sand Ninja to run for the Fourth Kazekage..."
"Scorch Release: Pakura? Heh, just a skeleton in a tomb!"
"Where would I keep you barking at me like that!"
Hearing this, Pakura's face turned pale and then red. After a long silence, Pakura smoothed his sideburns and said with a smile in his eyes.
"I must say, you're absolutely right about one thing."
Pakura looked at Uchiha Makoto, who was already frowning, and said with a smile.
"What conspiracy or trickery? It's just using power to intimidate people!"
"Now, you can't escape!"
