Preparing to Raid Kirigakure

I don't know if it's because Kirigakure is pursuing me too closely and is too annoying, or because the noise pollution from the construction projects in the Land of Water is too severe, or maybe I'm just tired of the Land of Water.

Whatever the reason, after staying in Kirigakure for more than two months, Uzumaki Ayaka finally brought the good news that the White Zetsu had disappeared.

"Lord Feng, about ten days ago, the White Zetsu in Kirigakure began to decrease."

Three days ago, there weren't even any left.

To be on the safe side, Ao and I gradually expanded our search area, centering on Kirigakure. In the end, apart from finding three White Zetsu in the place where the Six-Tails Jinchuriki was hiding, no White Zetsu were seen anywhere else.

During this period, neither Black Zetsu nor the masked man, whom the adults were concerned about, appeared.

It's now basically confirmed that, apart from leaving three White Zetsu to monitor the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, the rest of that group are no longer in the Land of Water.

Oh!?

What about the area around the capital of the Land of Water? And along the road from here to Kirigakure?

Upon hearing this news, Feng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask a series of questions.

"No, not in the capital, Kirigakure, and not along the way. At least, Ao and I haven't found any."

"Hehe, okay!"

"Guards! Assemble the entire Royal Guard, the Mobile Unit, and the Prisoner Camp!"

Apart from the Samurai Corps dispatched to various parts of the country, Feng gathered all the remaining personnel.

With Obito absent and Kirigakure vulnerable, it's the perfect time to Kirigakure.

Before long, Kentaro Uchiha, Jianshi, Inabi Uchiha, Yashiro, and other Uchiha, as well as Asai, Yuki Rō, and others, all gathered at the Daimyo Palace.

"My lord!"

"Yes! Gentlemen, the time has come to Kirigakure." Feng smiled and nodded slightly.

"Real!?"

"My lord! When shall we act?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began to discuss how and when to annex Kirigakure, without asking why.

As for the reason? Their lord has conquered wherever he orders, without ever making a mistake. His record speaks for itself, so who would dare to object?

"Quiet!"

Feng frowned slightly and shouted loudly.

Everyone immediately fell silent and stopped discussing, all looking at their lord.

Seeing that no one spoke, Feng looked at everyone and continued.

"If you have anything to say, wait until I finish speaking before you give your opinions. Now, listen to me."

First, send a message to Bosawa, instructing him to send his newly established navy to the countries of Wu and Hai, not to fight, but to use Wu and Hai as temporary bases to block the routes from the water and sea to the inland, and to prevent anyone from leaving.

Furthermore, the daimyo of the Sea Country should issue an order, under the pretext of eliminating pirates and pacifying the surrounding waters, to transfer some of the Kirigakure ninja stationed in the Sea Country to wander at sea.

Oh, right, Takayanagi Haruki, later you take the edict from the Daimyo of the Land of Water, take a small squad of merchant ninja, and also take the hundred-man Kirigakure Ninja squad from the capital to any sea Land of Water to wipe out pirates.

Asai, the Scout Corps won't be of much use against Kirigakure, so you should stay in the capital with the Scout Corps and keep an eye on the nobles and officials who haven't yet pledged allegiance to us, and prevent them from causing trouble.

Finally, Taro and Jianshi, leading the Mobile Unit; Inabi Uchiha and Tekka, leading the Royal Guard; Yashiro and Jiro, leading the Prisoner Camp, are to immediately prepare for battle and enter the Castle that Tokatsu the Chameleon has transformed into, ready to await my Summoning at any time.

After I left, Cabinet Secretary Shimizu Takeshi took charge of domestic affairs, Grand General Sada Hidemasa took charge of military affairs, keeping a close eye on the capital.

Now, does anyone have anything to add?

"No! My lord!" the crowd responded loudly.

They could offer opinions on other matters, but when it came to strategic issues, no one thought they could do better than their lord, so naturally no one would say anything on that matter.

"Wait! Lord Feng, what about me?! Where am I?"

Uzumaki Ayaka, who had been listening for a while but hadn't heard what she was supposed to do, reached out and called out.

Feng had been incredibly kind to her and her daughter, and she was naturally determined not to be outdone.

"Ayaka, please calm down. I have something more important to ask of you. Come with me in a moment."

Feng smiled and gently tapped his palm downwards, signaling the other to wait a moment.

Then he continued speaking to the crowd.

"If no one objects, then before nightfall, Takayanagi Haruki, you take the Kirigakure ninja away first."

After nightfall, assemble at the training ground on the back mountain. Let's get moving!

"Yes, my lord! Loyal!"

Upon hearing this, everyone simultaneously raised their right hands at a 45-degree angle, shouted "Loyalty!" in unison, and then quickly left to make preparations.

After everyone left, Feng, along with Uzumaki Ayaka, ' Byakugan ' Ao, and Uchiha Yosuke, the same Uchiha who had teamed up with the other two to investigate Kirigakure and was also Feng's squad leader from his time in the Konoha Military Police Force.

The opponent survived a series of internal conflicts between Konoha and the Uchiha, and awakened the Mitsudomoe. As a member of the Hawk Faction Uchiha clan, he naturally followed Feng to this day.

The four of them arrived together at the Backyard of the Daimyo Palace, the daimyo's residence.

"Ayaka, Ao, and Yōsuke, the three of you will secretly accompany my Royal Guard on this expedition, along with the daimyo."

But you must remember this: do not make a move. Your primary concern is protecting the daimyo. Do not let anyone get close to the daimyo.

Especially the Masked Man and Black Zetsu I mentioned to you, you must be on high alert and vigilant against them 24 hours a day.

Oh, and here, please keep these safe. If you spot anyone suspicious approaching, immediately channel Chakra to activate the incantation on them."

Feng whispered instructions to the three of them, and at the same time gave each of them a Flying Thunder God Kunai.

"This... is it! Lord Feng, I swear on my life that I will protect Daming."

"My lord, it's me too."

Having been given this important task, Ayaka gladly accepted the order, while Kotoamatsukami was controlled by Kotoamatsukami, and Yōsuke, who blindly followed his clan leader, echoed her.

Time flies by, and it's late at night in an open area behind the Daimyo Palace.

'Spirit Tokatsu the Chameleon!'

With a low shout, Tak, who could transform into Tokatsu Castle, reappeared.

"Hey Tokatsu, could you please turn this into Castle again and let these people stay inside for a while?"

"Lord Feng, it's been a long time since you Summoning me."

"Haha, sorry, I've been a bit busy lately."

But after today, I'll be troubling you quite often again."

Feng brushed off Tokatsu's complaints with a laugh.

Chang Tongling Tokatsu? If he really does that, those idle, crazy chameleons in Kyakumei Forest will definitely cause him trouble.

Let Tokatsu bear the consequences of his own actions.

However, it will be fine once Kirigakure is annexed. At that time, Kirigakure Ninja that are incorporated will have to undergo special training. Kirigakure has several thousand ninjas, and the Chameleon Clan will have a lot of trouble with the special training course on dealing with large creatures.

"No problem, I will obey Lord Feng's orders."

Tokatsu didn't mind at all. His people were just joking around with it to vent their emotions and wouldn't really hurt it. Its little tantrum with Feng was just a joke.

Just like now, when it's time to get to work, it obediently transforms into Castle.

Seeing this, Feng turned to look at the assembled Royal Guard, Mobile Unit, and Prisoner Camp.

"Everyone, enter the Castle."

Taro, Jianshi, Inabi Uchiha, Yashiro, and the others each led their own teams.

Ayaka, keep an eye on the people you're with!

Qing, you stay by my side and come with me.

As he spoke, everyone except Qing entered the Castle that the Tokatsu the Chameleon had transformed into.

After everyone had gone inside, Feng spoke again:

"Stay inside and wait for me to summon Tokatsu again."

"???" Some people who were not familiar with Tokatsu were puzzled.

"It's very simple, our plan is to launch Kirigakure."

If we were to charge forward with the main force like this, we would inevitably be discovered and ambushed, resulting in significant casualties.

So, you all stay inside Tokatsu's body while I sneak into Kirigakure first, then summon Tokatsu there. We'll launch a devastating attack from the center, striking right at his heart.

As for leaving Ao behind, humph, without him, who else would help us remove the protective barrier of Kirigakure!?

"!!! I see!" The puzzled person suddenly realized.

At the same time, I once again admire Qi Feng's ideas and wisdom.

"I must say, when it comes to war, blindly listening to Lord Feng (my lord) is definitely the right thing to do!"

Ninjas have existed for a thousand years, and so have Summoning Beast. Surprisingly, aside from our lord, no one has ever thought of using Summoning Beast troops—such a simple yet extremely effective method.

Feng ignored the admiration from the crowd and immediately summoned the Steel-Wing Dragon again after giving instructions to everyone.

"Steel-Wing Dragon! Head this way!"

Kirigakure is located deep in the mountains, with only one main road in and out, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Feng would not attempt a direct confrontation to enter Kirigakure, and since the Ninja World does not prioritize air superiority, an air raid would be extremely easy for him.

It just so happens that Deidara used this very tactic to capture Gaara in the future. With such a ready-made successful example, Feng felt even more confident.
