How to Deal with Kumogakure

"My lord (Lord Feng), you're back."

Upon seeing Feng suddenly appear at the border camp, Uchiha Inabi, Tekka, Mei Terumi, and the others quickly stepped forward.

"Hmm, has the handover of the camp been arranged?"

"With Ms. Mei Terumi's help, and some members of the Mobile Unit having been stationed here before."

"We have successfully taken full control of the camp."

Uchiha Inabi replied.

"With such a commotion on our side, has the Kumogakure across the way reacted at all?"

What about the Land of Crafts and the Takumi Village?

There has been no unusual activity from the Land of Crafts.

The people of Kumogakure seemed to have some ideas, but we acted too quickly. Before they could even make a move, we were already finished.

As for whether there will be any further action, we don't know yet; we'll have to wait until they take action to find out.

This time, it was Mei Terumi who spoke up.

Although she didn't actually side with Uchiha Feng willingly.

Compared to Feng's group, who decisively incorporated Kirigakure into their forces in a single battle, and whose massacres of Kirigakure were relatively minor.

Clearly, the Kirigakure, which fought three Ninja World Wars with the Kumogakure, is more hateful; the two sides are truly sworn enemies.

She was naturally more wary of Kumogakure than Uchiha Inabi and others, and knew more about it in detail.

Oh?! You have an idea?

Hehe, I won't wait for others to make the first move; I prefer to strike first.

Feng laughed upon hearing this. As for waiting for Kumogakure to make a move?!

There's no need for that. He doesn't even consider the Kumogakure Village a threat, so he naturally won't retaliate after being beaten.

"Mei Terumi, Tomoshu, you two take a small squad of guards and go out to scout and confirm the movements of the Kumogakure."

Meanwhile, find a good battlefield along the way, preferably a desperate situation with no way out.

"Wait a few minutes. After I recall the Genji and others who were left in my Summoning Beast territory, I will lead the main force to join you."

Feng seemed to have suddenly become arrogant and reckless, abandoning his long-held principles of survival and completely disregarding the Kumogakure, which was dominated by brute force. He seemed poised to annihilate the enemy.

While other Uchiha become arrogant, Feng could have a "good talk" with them, but if Feng became arrogant, then things would be much more complicated.

"Hahaha, clan leader, you should have done this long ago."

"We are so powerful, yet we keep hiding our strength; there's no need for that."

Moreover, the Uchiha nearby were adding fuel to the fire.

After all, they had always harbored the ambition to proclaim the existence of the great Uchiha to the entire Ninja World, but they had been suppressed by Feng, making them feel much more uncomfortable than Feng, who had only recently begun to expand his power.

A few minutes later, as Feng summoned Tokatsu the Chameleon again, the number of ninjas under his command had grown to more than two thousand.

With just a command from Feng, they can rush straight to Kumogakure and annihilate the less than 500 Kumogakure border ninjas.

But then, two unexpected people stepped forward.

"Lord Feng, please reconsider."

Now is not a good time to attack the Kumogakure, otherwise our clan will most likely be exposed.

This contradicts your long-held policy and principle that the longer our race remains hidden, the brighter our future will be.

Of course, if you feel it is necessary, we will certainly support your order and pave the way for you."

First is Uchiha Izumi. Izumi, who was only 13 years old when Uchiha Massacre the Konoha Massacre in 1958, is now not even 16 years old.

Logically speaking, with so many senior Uchiha in the Royal Guard and the Mobile Unit, Izumi shouldn't be the one to step up, given their experience and temperament.

The other half of Izumi's being comes from her non- Uchiha Clan father, giving her a calmness that other Uchiha lack.

Anyone who knows Izumi knows that she always stands quietly, doesn't talk much, and isn't as extreme, arrogant, or obsessive as other Uchiha.

This also makes Uchiha Izumi's ninja talent less outstanding compared to other Uchiha.

However, the Uchiha Clan has so many talented ninjas that their existence, or even the presence of Izumi, is of little consequence.

However, the Uchiha Clan desperately needs, and their members are rare and invaluable talents.

Especially now, without Izumi's ability to think calmly, no one from the Uchiha Clan would dare to advise Feng.

After Quan spoke, another unexpected person appeared: Genji, a legendary elder of Kirigakure who had only recently joined Feng's ranks!

He also stepped forward and said loudly:

"Lord Feng, it won't be difficult to Kumogakure stationed in the Land of Crafts."

But it seems you, sir, do not wish to be exposed to the eyes of other forces in the Ninja World.

The Kumogakure on this border are only a small part of the Kumogakure.

For the Kumogakure, which has nearly ten thousand ninjas, their deaths would be insignificant.

But that would surely anger the martial arts faction and the fiercely independent Kumogakure, provoking their fierce retaliation.

In that case, your plan will fail, and you and your family will definitely be discovered by the Kumogakure.

After all, in ancient times, your family seemed to have lived in the Land of Lightning; they must have been more familiar with you than most people."

"Hahaha!

You guys... hehehehe, it seems you've misunderstood me."

Upon hearing their advice, Feng was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"Hehehe, I'm not foolish enough to give Kumogakure an excuse to start a war."

Feng knew very well that if what he and the Uchiha had done came to light, they would face an attack from the entire Ninja World.

Although his strength and influence are formidable, and he fears no nation in the Ninja World, if he were to face the entire Ninja World, he would surely perish!

We don't even need the entire Ninja World; half of Ninja World will suffice.

Under these circumstances, Feng would never invite trouble by engaging in a major battle with the Kumogakure.

It's important to know that ever since the incident where Kumogakure forced Konoha to commit the death of Hizashi Hyuga, it has become the strongest Ninja World.

To challenge the Kumogakure to a major battle?! That's not showing off; it's like they're asking for an easy death.

"Then, sir...?"

Feng's words were quite puzzling.

"If it's not going to be a major battle with Kumogakure, then why did you order people to choose a dead end with no way out as the battlefield?"

"Doesn't Your Excellency want to annihilate the enemy completely?"

Genji asked, puzzled.

"Hehehe, so that's what caused your misunderstanding."

I didn't intend to annihilate all the Cloud Kumogakure; it's just that I've never liked being passively attacked, and I prefer to strike first.

Since we're going to take action, we should naturally go all out.

The reason for seeking out the enemy was simply to see if they could capture every single one of them.

If successful, the already weakened Kirigakure can flex its muscles and show the Ninja World that the ' Bloody Mist Village ' has not affected Kirigakure's strength.

Even if we fail, it doesn't matter. After all, we have over two thousand ninjas, while they only have less than five hundred. We should be able to defeat them.

As for the trouble that will follow up with Kumogakure, we are not afraid of Xiao Zhan; we will treat it as training.

As for the major battle, I'll have the daimyo step in and spend money to settle things later."

Feng smiled and explained calmly.

Genji: "??? No, Lord Feng, what are you after?"

Feng's explanation not only failed to clarify the situation, but also made Genji even more confused.

It was a small matter that could have been avoided by taking a step back.

But they insist on turning it into a training ground where, at best, ninjas are constantly sacrificed, and at worst, a disaster that results in lives lost and reparations paid out.

That's... completely unnecessary.

What's the point?

We can discuss this in more detail later; it's not appropriate to talk about it here.

This time, Feng didn't explain, but at least he made it clear to Genji that he wasn't fooling around, but had a plan.

"Is that so? Then, Lord Feng, would you mind revealing something to me so I can explain it to the others?"

Upon hearing this, Genji did not press the matter.

Feng thought about it. Although he could get his men to do things even without saying anything, having a purpose versus not having one did make a difference.

"For this place, the Land of Crafts."

So he finally whispered that he would explain to Genji, but his voice was so soft that only a few people within a few meters could hear it.

Feng never intended to get entangled with the Kumogakure; a major battle would not occur, and minor skirmishes would not last long.

As for the method, spend money!

In the Ninja World, Kage are under the jurisdiction of Daimyo, and no Daimyo is without greed.

Even though the Raikage of Kumogakure and the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning are related, both being Yotsuki Clan.

However, the two sides have Branch Family for decades. As long as Feng is willing to pay more, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning will definitely value money over sentiment.

For Feng, as long as he could drive the Kumogakure out of the Land of Crafts, a mere amount of money was utterly insignificant.

Leaving aside the private treasuries of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, the Five Great Nations of the Ninja World have a history spanning thousands of years; even if Feng were to spend as much as he wanted, he couldn't possibly spend it all.

Not to mention that once the Daimyo of the Land of Crafts Land of Crafts controlled and annexed, the Daimyo of the Land of Crafts's private treasury will be no less than the indemnity.

As for the unpleasant sound of sacrificing one's life for reparations, when Feng unifies the Ninja World in the future, future generations will only say that he is now using money to buy time and space, which is a strategic vision and a long-term plan.

"I see, I understand now."

I'll go inform the others; the Kirigakure Ninja will never hold you back, sir."

Genji had seen the controlled Daimyo of the Land of Water in the Mizukage's Office and knew who was behind the various changes in the Land of Water, so he immediately understood.

As someone who had already pledged allegiance to Feng, he was willing to give it his all and try his best first.
