Subduing Kirigakure and Preparing to Bring Its Shinobi Abroad into the Fold
"Mei Terumi, would you be interested in staying by my side as my personal guard?"
After Genji left, Feng turned to look at the current number one young person in Kirigakure. The other party was excellent in strength, talent, and appearance, and was a very good talent.
Now that Genji, the most prestigious person in Kirigakure, has taken the lead in surrendering, Feng believes that the other side will not insist too much.
"I... give me some time, let me think about it."
As expected, Mei Terumi did not refuse, but of course, she did not vote on the spot.
"Hehe, sure, Ayaka, seal her Chakra. Before she surrenders, you and Honoka can take turns taking her around so she can see what's going on and find out who we really are."
Feng smiled and agreed to Mei Terumi.
He understood that the other party's lack of refusal was tantamount to a tacit agreement; it was just that Mei Terumi was trying to be reserved and save face.
After all, she is not yet the future leader of Kirigakure, the Fifth Mizukage.
Right now, she's just a young person favored by the village's higher-ups; aside from her own personal interests, she doesn't have many other concerns.
Unlike Genji, who has too many things to consider and simply doesn't have time to persevere.
It has to be said that with Genji around, conquering Kirigakure was reduced from a difficult mode to an easy mode.
In just a few days, Kirigakure, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages Kirigakure, was completely devoid of any resistance and was entirely incorporated into Feng's ranks.
Although some people died during this period, compared with the casualties that Feng originally planned to cause by sending the Yuki, Kaguya and other ninja clans to subdue Kirigakure, the losses were negligible.
However, subduing Kirigakure, whose main force is currently stationed elsewhere, is not the most important task. The real priority is to subdue the nearly three thousand main ninjas stationed elsewhere.
"Jianshi, and in the name of the daimyo, gradually suspend the missions of the thousand Kirigakure scattered throughout the Land of Water, allowing them to return to their villages in batches."
Genji, Yuki Rō, you two are in charge of persuading them to surrender. Inabi Uchiha and Tekka, lead the Royal Guard to reinforce the front. Those who remain obstinate will be killed without mercy.
Taro Kazue, during this time, led the Mobile Unit to strengthen patrols in Kirigakure, making sure nothing went wrong.
Ayaka and Ao, take turns watching over the daimyo. Takayanagi Haruki and Yōsuke, each of you lead a team of merchant ninja, taking turns providing 24-hour close protection to the daimyo.
Feng already had a plan for this.
However, Kirigakure was not yet stable, so it was not appropriate to do anything unnecessary.
Now that Kirigakure has been completely pacified and stabilized, it's time to take action again immediately.
"Lord Feng, is it possible... to give those people a little more chance?"
In order to save more of his fellow villagers, Genji tentatively asked a question.
After several days of contact, the experienced Genji had figured out a lot about Feng's background and realized that Feng was not a difficult person to talk to.
In his eyes, Uchiha Feng was a complete naiveté, not at all like the miraculous skills his subordinates boasted about.
But the marshal still surrendered wholeheartedly. There was nothing he could do; the opponent possessed the Mangekyō, Susanoo, and the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Their combat prowess is so formidable that they could single-handedly take down the entire Kirigakure. As long as they're mentally sound, whether they're superhuman or not is irrelevant. If they don't want to die or destroy the village, they have no choice but to obey.
Not to mention that the other party is not alone. Genji has inquired and confirmed that Uchiha Feng's power spans multiple countries, with nearly two thousand ninjas under his command, and another fifty thousand samurai and guards.
The more Genji knew about such formidable personal strength and influence, the more awe he felt.
Now, they dare not even hope that Kirigakure can break free from their control and return to what it once was; they would be fortunate if the village were not destroyed.
"Opportunity? Heh, Genji, by having you and Lang persuade them to surrender, I was giving them an opportunity."
Otherwise, all that awaits them is a pre-prepared ambush; except for a few who can begin a new life in Prisoner Camp, most will only remain in eternal sleep."
Feng neither agreed nor disagreed with Genji's words.
Obito has a strong attachment to Kirigakure. Although he has left, he might come back at any time.
If Feng fails to completely subdue Kirigakure before the enemy returns, there is a high probability that Susanoo in Kirigakure, will be found by Obito, who will then track him down and discover that the Uchiha Clan is also there.
At that time, although Feng himself is not afraid of the consequences of being targeted by Obito, his other subordinates and forces are still weak and cannot withstand the harm caused by the other party.
Therefore, for the sake of his subordinates and forces, and to minimize the possibility of being discovered, Feng had to completely subdue the Kirigakure Ninja before Obito returned.
Only by quickly integrating the entire Kirigakure can we prevent Obito from having another chance to restart the ' Bloody Mist Village '.
In addition, during this period, the Three-Tails was still in the process of rebirth, while the Six-Tails had long been wandering outside Kirigakure with its Jinchūriki, Utakata.
All of these factors combined would most likely be enough to make Obito, just like in the original timeline, lose interest in Kirigakure and let them go, thus preventing them from coming back to cause Kirigakure again.
Of course, this is the best outcome.
In the worst-case scenario, where Obito stubbornly insists on staying in Kirigakure, Feng isn't without options; he can always have a "talk" with Black Zetsu.
The two sides had an agreement: he wouldn't interfere with the other's Eye of the Moon Plan to capture the Tailed Beasts and implement the Eye of the Moon, Black Zetsu would have to keep his dog on a leash so as not to interfere with his game of 'power'.
Currently, the two sides have an unequal amount of information. Black Zetsu only thinks of Feng as a minor character who is keen on the game of 'power' and is completely unaware of Feng's true background.
Ke Feng, however, knew Black Zetsu's background perfectly well.
Therefore, as long as ' Chenxiang ' still wants to save his mother, Feng can use the Eye of the Moon Plan to control him and use him to deal with Obito.
However, everything comes at a price. Black Zetsu, who has lived for a thousand years, is considered the second most troublesome guy in the Ninja World.
Every time Feng threatens Black Zetsu Black Zetsu, his perceived threat level increases by one point, his importance decreases by one point, and he exposes another weakness.
If he threatens the other party too many times and angers them, given their cunning and ability, Feng, with his ordinary intelligence, might be outmaneuvered and tricked at any moment, ending up dead.
After all, Black Zetsu's techniques are far more insidious than those of a brainless guy like Obito.
In order to avoid Obito causing trouble and thus attracting Black Zetsu's attention, they decided to...
Feng can only temporarily make Kirigakure suffer, even if it means sacrificing many more ninjas.
However, as long as he and the Uchiha Clan could be hidden as much as possible, buying more time for them to develop their power and strength, Feng believed it was worthwhile.
Therefore, he absolutely could not agree to Genji's suggestion to take things slowly.
After all, if he wanted to be slow, the enemy wouldn't give him the chance to prepare everything before making a move.
Those enemies will only seize any possible opportunity and use every means to do the opposite.
