Local Magnates Who Gave Everything for Feng's Grand Cause
Standing at the gate of the Daimyo Palace, watching the seventy-year-old man express his deepest gratitude and bid him a reluctant farewell, Feng felt a slight sense of guilt.
Teacher Ma's joke about "young people lacking martial ethics, going to cheat and ambush old people" is just that—a joke. But Feng actually cheated the old man and even planned to ambush his house.
The three opportunities that the Daimyo seemed to offer to feed Kirigakure were all traps dug by Feng.
Nowadays, Kirigakure doesn't have many capable ninjas, only around three thousand.
Among them, the Imperial Residence of the Daimyo of the Land of Water requested one hundred ninjas as guards, and the Sea Country had three hundred elite troops wiped out by Feng.
To the west, we need to guard against Konoha of the Land of Fire; to the north, we need to guard against Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning. Each border requires several hundred troops.
Then there are the two elite units of Kirigakure: the Anbu and the Pursuit Unit. They need people, and they need to be elites.
These elites will most likely be assigned to investigate the true culprit who controlled the Fourth Mizukage.
But can Uchiha Obito even investigate Kirigakure? If they do, Kamui will teach him a lesson; he's just asking for death.
Unable to find it? The Daimyo has set a deadline; if Hidden Mist Village fails to perform its duties properly, it will be punished immediately.
In either case, they would be forced to intensify their efforts on this matter, otherwise the Anbu and the Pursuit Unit would not be able to return to the village for a while.
According to the original story, since Kirigakure has been harassing him, Obito will probably leave Kirigakure completely because he is too lazy to deal with it and doesn't want to cause any more trouble.
If it really comes to this, it will be exactly what Feng wants, allowing him to unleash his full power and boldly attack Kirigakure.
However, it doesn't matter if it doesn't come to that, since Kirigakure is still being weakened.
As mentioned before, the subsequent dispatch of a large number of ninjas to various villages and towns in the Land of Water required at least a thousand ninjas to be transferred from Kirigakure.
There's also the task of sending a large force to protect the Sea Country. With Feng having arranged Mobile Unit, Samurai Corps, and Guard Corps totaling several hundred people in the Sea Country as a reference, the number of people sent by Kirigakure should be at least no less than that.
Otherwise, Feng could openly and unreasonably bleed Kirigakure dry in the name of the Daimyo.
Finally, a simple calculation reveals that after Feng's series of actions, it won't be long before almost all of Kirigakure's already limited number of ninjas have been sent out, leaving very few ninjas in the village.
Conversely, Feng's side reduced its manpower and concentrated its combat strength.
It can be said that at that time, the Kirigakure, which would be empty inside, could be directly attacked by Feng if he wanted to. Even if the Uchiha who might expose their identities were eliminated, the remaining nearly a thousand ninjas and several hundred samurai who were no weaker than ninjas would still be able to take the lead.
Taking over Kirigakure would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.
Furthermore, since Feng didn't use the Uchiha and could get the Daimyo to take the blame, Obito wouldn't suspect Feng or the Uchiha.
If Black Zetsu wanted to investigate, he would likely be able to find out that the person behind this was Uchiha Feng.
However, Feng had already dealt with Black Zetsu and knew that the other party held a great deal of leverage over him. Therefore, as long as Feng annexed Kirigakure but did not touch the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata the Three-Tails who was still regenerating, thus affecting the Eye of the Moon Plan, the two sides could coexist peacefully.
After all, if he dared to expose Feng and the Uchiha's whereabouts, Feng would print out the booklet that he had shown to Black Zetsu and distribute it throughout the entire Ninja World.
At that time, Black Zetsu definitely suffer a greater loss than Feng.
Furthermore, Feng went a bit too far and added some extra material to Black Zetsu, changing it from a product of Kaguya Otsutsuki's Black Zetsu to a product of Kaguya's will plus a part of the Ten-Tails' body.
Black Zetsu would have nowhere to cry, because in addition to dealing with the entire Ninja World's pursuit, the deeply hidden Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and other Otsutsuki who will come from across the stars in the future will capture Black Zetsu and feed him to the Ten-Tails because of the information that he has a part of the Ten-Tails' body.
The thought of Black Zetsu facing both overt and covert pursuit from several Otsutsuki...
"Uh~"
Feng felt a chill run down his spine and dared not think any further.
Well, I hope Black Zetsu knows what's good for him and doesn't court his own destruction.
A few days later, Feng returned the mercenary mission from the Sea Country to Kirigakure as promised and withdrew a large number of his men.
A large number of Kirigakure Ninja began to take over the garrison duties at the borders of the Sea Country and in various towns.
However, there were two exceptions, which Feng never handed over to the Kirigakure Ninja: the Daimyo Palace and the capital city.
The official reason given was that Kirigakure was only in its three-month trial period and had not yet proven itself; the Daimyo could not entrust his safety to a group of people who had not yet proven themselves.
As for the real reason, it is naturally because Feng firmly remembers that he is a rebel who "controls the daimyo to command the country," and it is impossible for him to hand over the daimyo, the "great weapon of justice" in the Ninja World, to any outsider.
Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, he, who is not yet invincible in the Ninja World, might not be able to withstand being surrounded and killed by the entire Ninja World.
After Kirigakure retrieved the mercenary mission from the Sea Country and finally saw the opportunity given by their daimyo, they quickly dispatched a large number of people to complete the other two tasks assigned by the daimyo.
In order to prove Kirigakure's capabilities within the deadline set by the Daimyo, and not to disappoint the Daimyo's expectations.
In the days that followed, both the water and sea kingdoms vigorously reformed their systems while simultaneously sending Kirigakure on raids. The two kingdoms found themselves in a bizarre situation where there was intense activity and hard work, but also bloodshed and carnage.
However, in this strange situation, the two daimyo, the highest-ranking officials of the two kingdoms of water and sea, were extremely happy.
As for the reason? They were all Feng's puppets. Watching the construction below slowly unfold in the direction he desired, Feng had no reason not to be happy. And if Feng was happy, then his puppets were naturally happy as well.
Secondly, the officials of the shogunate, both high and low, were also pleased.
Since most of the officials in the water and sea kingdoms are not the original people, but almost all of them were promoted and transferred from other places by Feng. They have just been promoted and are still doing their old jobs, so how could they not be happy?
Then, the ordinary people at the very bottom of society were ecstatic!
After all, hard work requires people, and once the work is done, Feng is exceptionally generous in paying for it with other people's (Daming's) life savings;
In addition, Feng distributed a large amount of land to ordinary people, and removed the mountain of exorbitant taxes that had been weighing on the common people;
With these three measures working together, ordinary people are enjoying themselves like it's Chinese New Year Tenten day.
Furthermore, the ninja and Samurai Corps armies were also very happy.
Feng's army either distributed land to ordinary people, paid money to the Kirigakure Ninja, or simply wrote documents, handled internal affairs, or assigned tasks to the Kirigakure Ninja.
He did all sorts of things that earned him a good reputation, and was appreciated and loved by others. In addition, Feng was never stingy with his rewards, so he was naturally happy.
As for the Kirigakure ninjas? Guarding the area counts as a mission, and they get paid!
Murder counts as overtime, and they even pay you!
From playing PUBG tournaments Tenten to going back to being a regular ninja who gets paid to do his job, how could he not be happy?
As for the claim that excessive killing frightens ordinary people?
It's alright. The Kirigakure Ninja who just came out of the ' Bloody Mist Village ' are all killers. No one cares about the opinions of ordinary people, because those who do wouldn't be alive now.
Of course, in the midst of a revolutionary wave filled with bloodshed and slaughter, it's impossible for everyone to be happy.
There is still one side that cries, and that side is the mountain weighing on ordinary people: local powerful figures.
The land that Feng distributed to ordinary people was their original land;
The land where the various factories were built was their original land;
All the construction materials were mined from their original mountains;
The reward was either the official positions and powers bestowed upon their former subordinates, or the status they had been stripped of by the beacon fire;
In the end, even the money paid out was confiscated from their home.
It could be said that the local dignitaries of the two countries, Shui and Hai, were the only ones who wept, having given everything for Feng's grand cause, while everyone else rejoiced.
He was undoubtedly the best player of the night, a living "Lei Feng" of our time.
This made Feng too embarrassed to frequently use the "Nine-Clan Separation Technique," and he could only mercifully use the "Extermination of Three Clans" method in normal times.
