Attack the Two Islands of the Sea Country First

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. At dawn, a large number of people boarded ships at the port on the eastern side of Southern Red State Island, which borders the Sea Country.

After Feng led the fleet away, Shibata Keiichi immediately led his Guard Corps to seal off all nearby ports to prevent any leaks.

Once the fleet had left the port, several ninjas from the Kirisame Clan, led by Kirisame Tomoshu, began using their family's secret technique: a dense fog, imperceptible to ordinary ninjas, enveloped and concealed the entire fleet.

This dense fog not only obstructs vision, but also reduces the travel distance of sound.

The Kirigakure's Silent Killing imitates the dense fog created by the secret technique of the Kirisame Clan.

As for concealing the fleet with dense fog, which would cause them to lose their sense of direction, there's no need to worry about that.

The Kirisame Clan isn't stupid; their family's secret techniques wouldn't turn them into blind fools. Their inherited techniques naturally have specific methods for use.

Therefore, at dawn, just as the sun rose above the horizon, Feng's fleet arrived precisely near the Sea Country.

"Gentlemen, we have arrived at the Sea Country. Proceed according to the pre-battle plan."

Asai, send out Scout Corps to locate the nobles and various warehouses on Taro Island.

Uncle Yashiro led the Prisoner Camp as the vanguard, and told them that those who did not retreat in this battle would be relieved of their POW status, and those who fought bravely could join the army.

Ayaka, with her Mind's Eye of the Kagura at maximum power, scans the entire Taro Island and finds all the ninjas.

Uncle Bosawa, leading the Mobile Unit, followed Ayaka and eliminated all the enemies on Taro Island.

Hidemasa, you and your Samurai Corps are ready to provide support at any time.

Everyone, remember to conceal your identities and keep the people of Merchant Ninja Village out in the open.

"The Inabi Uchiha and the Tekka will stay with me and be ready to respond to any emergencies."

As they approached the shore, Feng gave his final instructions to everyone.

Yes! *N

"Boom!"

Almost as soon as everyone answered, the fleet had already reached the shore.

They didn't just randomly choose a place to land in the Sea Country; they deliberately chose a deserted coastline on Taro Island Sea Country, the closest island to the Land of Water.

The two countries, Hai and Shui, are too close, so the first step in conquering Sea Country is to cut off the shipping routes on both sides.

Only in this way can we ensure that the people of the Sea Country cannot go to the Land of Water to send a message or ask for help, thus avoiding exposing their whereabouts.

Furthermore, because the Sea Country still has ninjas from the Kirigakure, it's impossible to sweep through them directly like when we conquered the Land of the Rainbow and the Moon Country a few years ago. Otherwise, some ninjas might slip through the net, causing the operation to be leaked.

Therefore, Feng needs to sweep through the islands one by one.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Buzz!"...

Before long, the island was filled with the sounds of Ninjutsu flying everywhere, but not a single Fire Release was among them.

As I said before, the two countries of the sea and water are too close. If Kakkō were to break out here, it would be tantamount to actively sending a message to the Land of Water.

Therefore, Feng forbids anyone from using Fire Release, and any fires that arise must be extinguished immediately.

And then, that was it.

About two hours later, Bosawa, Ayaka, and the others all returned.

"My lord, we have completely occupied Taro Island."

The crowd reported back to Feng in unison.

"Very good. Inabi Uchiha and Tekka, you will take your Royal Guard and half of the merchant ninja and stay behind on Taro Island."

The rest of you, follow me straight to the Mother Island of the Sea Country."

Feng smiled and praised him, then immediately made new arrangements.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Inabi, Tekka, and their Royal Guard were not happy about it.

"Sir! Don't make us stay behind! We want to fight!"

"Yeah, we were just guarding the ship, and now we're guarding the island. It's so boring."

"Yes! Yes! Sir, let the Mobile Unit guard the island. Leave the Mother Island of the Sea Country to us."

The Royal Guard were all talking at once, each saying their own thing.

"Shut up!

Taro Island is the closest island to the Land of Water, and only the most elite people can guard it to sever the connection between the two countries.

What if something goes wrong if we leave someone else behind?!

"Or do you think your Royal Guard isn't the strongest force under my command?"

Feng angrily rebuked the members of his Royal Guard.

Of course, he wasn't really angry; it was mostly an act. Royal Guard were Uchiha, so using provocation was the most suitable approach than persuasion.

In particular, several Kaguya Clan clan have recently joined the Royal Guard, making them even more susceptible to provocation than the Uchiha.

Therefore, as soon as Feng finished speaking, several Kaguya ninjas immediately drew bone swords from their bodies and shouted, "Sir, hand this place over to us! Unless we die, not a single person from either the Sea or the Water Kingdom will be allowed to travel between us!"

The Uchiha were naturally unhappy with these words; when it came to pride, they didn't want to be outdone by anyone.

"My lord, we are your most elite troops. We will stay behind and defend Taro Island firmly, ensuring that no one crosses it."

Uchiha Inabi, as the captain of the Royal Guard, echoed the call.

"Yes, that's more like it."

Alright, enough chit-chat. Speed is of the essence. Now, the most dangerous Taro Island is yours to guard.

I'll lead the rest of the group to completely conquer the Sea Country!

"Yes, my lord!"

Not long after, as they approached the Mother Island of the Sea Country, Feng did not rush to land on the island. Instead, he led his men to occupy the largest port and dock before stopping their advance.

Then he took only Yashiro Uchiha and the Prisoner Camp to control the docks, while the others followed the fleet to circle the island, destroying all the ports and docks on the Mother Island. Ships were packed up and destroyed on the spot if they could not be packed up. In short, he completely cut off any possibility for anyone on the Mother Island to leave.

"Who are you people, and why are you attacking our Sea Country?"

"Hmph! What kind of rabble ninja is this? They don't even have Forehead Protector, yet they dare to attack the territory guarded by our Kirigakure!"

At the largest port on the Mother Island, the army of the Sea Country who had rushed from the town center, and the Kirigakure ninjas hired to stay in the Sea Country, all berated Feng and the haphazardly dressed Prisoner Camp behind him.

However, there are only two or three hundred of these people in total.

Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique - Released!

To this, Feng, too lazy to waste words, first removed the Ninjutsu he had recently used to increase gravity on himself for training.

Then, first use "Lightning Release: Chakra Mode," then open the "Eight Gates: Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life"!

Give yourself two buffs.

The order cannot be reversed. Ninjutsu cannot be used after opening the Eight Gates, so the Eight Gates must be opened last.

After that, Feng used "Sword Art: Iaijutsu" and charged into the enemy ranks alone, especially targeting the ninjas of Kirigakure.

As for the people in the Prisoner Camp, the Yashiro Uchiha guarded them, and they all obediently stayed in place to keep watch without making a move.

"You're a brute from Kumogakure?!"

A Kirigakure ninja, looking at the aura formed by Feng's highly recognizable Lightning Release: Chakra Mode, fell into a habitual thought.

But this train of thought vanished quickly, because the moment he opened his mouth, his head was gone.

As for the other Kirigakure ninjas, they were quickly slaughtered by Feng.

This is normal, after all, the Kirigakure ninjas who are still in the Sea Country are mostly cowards, afraid of death, and afraid of battle.

Those who were truly capable all returned to Kirigakure and plundered them.

"They surrounded and killed him, but he came up alone."

"No! No! I don't want to die! He's a devil! Retreat! Retreat!"

The group of people surrounding Feng uttered two completely different shouts from the inner and outer circles.

Feng, on the other hand, didn't say a single word the entire time.

When it comes to such a momentous event as conquering a country, there's no need to chat idly with the enemy before the war is completely over. Save the banter for after the war is over.

The right approach is to gradually issue a victory declaration later.

Therefore, the port was soon littered with corpses, especially those wearing Kirigakure ninja Forehead Protector; not one of them was left alive.

Feng finally slowed his movements and shouted, "Those who want to live, drop your weapons, put your hands on your heads, and squat on the ground! Anyone who moves out of line, die!"

"Clang!"

"Surrender!"

"I surrender! Don't kill me!"

The few remaining people at the scene immediately dropped their weapons, shouted their surrender, and obediently squatted on the ground.

"Uncle Yashiro, take the Prisoner Camp and disperse these prisoners to incorporate them into your own forces."

Seeing that all the enemies on the scene had squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands after just a few breaths, Feng Chao spoke up to Yashiro Uchiha, who was temporarily in charge of the Prisoner Camp.

"Okay, hehe."

Yashiro Uchiha smiled with delight upon hearing this.

Having only joined Feng's ranks for two years, he's already planning to annex the Sea Country and seize the Land of Water.

What if it's a few more years? He doesn't even dare to think about how wonderful the future will be.

At that time, it's likely that most of the Ninja World will be under Feng's rule, and these Uchiha, who are hated and despised in Konoha, will become royalty, ruling half of the Ninja World.

As for the Hokage that the Uchiha had been longing for before!? Hmph! A mere village chief, no one in the Uchiha would want him now.
