Capture the Capital of the Land of Wind

Not long after Black Zetsu left, night fell.

Then, the remaining four hundred Chunin from Sunagakure Chunin scattered and assigned to Feng's two hundred personal guards. Under the cover of night, Feng personally led them toward the Capital of the Land of Wind.

Also accompanying them were Izumi and the three remaining high-ranking members of Sunagakure — Chiyo, Ebizo, and Baki.

As for Gaara two siblings, they were born with a mentally ill father and never received a proper education. What they need now is to receive proper ideological education for a period of time, rather than being taken out to commit murder.

"Quan, tell me about the information we've gathered about the Land of Wind."

Chiyo, Ebizo, and Baki, the three of you can fill in at any time.

On the way, Feng gave instructions.

He had never stopped his men from gathering intelligence on the Land of Wind over the years, and they were already very familiar with it.

However, many of his two hundred personal guards were unaware of this, so Feng said this to make sure his men understood.

"Yes, Master."

The Land of Wind is located in the eastern part of the Ninja World Continent.

Its land area is the largest in the Ninja World, but 90% of it...

The country has nearly five thousand ordinary guards...

Upon hearing this, Quan immediately began to introduce himself.

Chiyo, Ebizo, and Baki, who had already surrendered, were quite straightforward at this point, occasionally supplementing or correcting the information that Izumi provided.

In the end, the summary is:

Although the Land of Wind has the largest land area in the Ninja World, only 10% of it is actually habitable; the other 90% is either desert or Gobi.

Therefore, in terms of national strength, the Land of Wind is at the bottom of the Five Great Nations, and its military strength is naturally extremely weak.

Excluding Sunagakure, the entire Land of Wind's guards number only around ten thousand.

Most of them were concentrated in the capital, or even guarded by the Daimyo Palace.

Only a small number of ordinary guards and samurai guard the remaining cities of the Land of Wind.

The so-called majority of the forces concentrated in the capital consisted of only a hundred or so junior Genin and samurai, plus a few jonin who were close protectors of the Jonin. This was much weaker than the forces that Feng had used when he attacked the Capital of the Land of Water.

Although the number of ordinary guards in the Capital of the Land of Wind is much greater than in the Capital of the Land of Water, those people are just there to make up the numbers; their numbers are meaningless to experts.

Not to mention, compared to when they attacked the Capital of the Land of Water, Feng and his subordinates have become much stronger.

With one side gaining and the other losing, the outcome is predictable.

Feng easily led his men to conquer and control the Capital of the Land of Wind.

"The Capital of the Land of Wind was attacked by bandits. The daimyo urgently summoned the Hidden Sand for rescue. The Sand Village ninjas defeated and annihilated the bandits. As a result, the Sand Village ninjas were assigned by the daimyo to take over the defense of the capital."

Well, those guards who are already dead will just be used as corpses for the bandits who were wiped out...

You lot, did you hear me clearly? Use Genjutsu to implant these ideas into the minds of the daimyo and these nobles.

"Izumi, your name is under your control."

Inside the Daimyo Palace in the Capital of the Land of Wind, Feng provides the script, and several Uchiha members skilled in Genjutsu begin to use Genjutsu to control the Daimyo and high-ranking officials of the Land of Wind, implanting relevant memories into them.

Unfortunately, because Feng, the greatest clan leader in history, led the way in focusing on swordsmanship and buff-type Ninjutsu, few of the new Uchiha ninjas in recent years have been skilled in Genjutsu. Nowadays, those skilled in Genjutsu are still the older generation of Uchiha.

However, Feng's territory is growing larger and larger, so there are not many Uchiha who can stand up and control high-ranking officials and nobles right now.

However, there are still many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital who wield immense influence in the Land of Wind. If this situation isn't handled properly, it will definitely cause chaos.

Izumi and his other guards were very troubled by this.

But Feng smiled confidently.

"Hehe, don't worry, I expected this situation. Otherwise, why do you think I insisted on bringing all the high-ranking officials and Chunin Sunagakure?"

"???" The others remained puzzled. What was the connection between bringing in the Sand Ninja and how to deal with these high-ranking officials and nobles from the Land of Wind?

"Wait, Master! What do you mean?"

One of the Kentaro Uchiha had followed Feng in the same batch as Uchiha suddenly realized something.

Because he arrived early, he was able to 'learn' from the current Grand General, Sada Hidemasa, who was the first to pledge allegiance to his clan patriarch, how the original clan patriarch had conquered the Tea Country.

Among them, the scheme of targeting a useless Crown Prince and killing three people in the Daimyo Palace was an unsolvable trap, which made everyone who later learned about it admire it greatly.

But now, it's not that kind of deadly trap. The people of Sunagakure are about to follow the same path that Sada Hidemasa and his group took back then—to prove their loyalty through killing!

"What are you thinking?! Explain yourself!"

An unexpected guard punched the Uchiha who had just realized what was happening, signaling him to stop being so mysterious.

"Master!?" The other person seemed unsure whether they could speak, and looked up to ask Feng.

"It's alright, it's already this late, just say what you want to say."

Feng then wore an indifferent, even slightly encouraging expression.

The fact that the other party could think of something shows they used their brain, and Uchiha lacks most are people who can use their brains!!

"Hehe, it's very simple. Master probably wants to replicate the method he used to conquer the Tea Country all by himself."

Are there many high-ranking officials and nobles in the Land of Wind? Will they cause trouble?

This is perfect because we just recruited those ninjas from Sunagakure, and their loyalty isn't guaranteed yet.

Then let the Sunagakure ninjas deal with those high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Use Kunai to manage them, and if they are dissatisfied or cause trouble, just have the Hidden Sand chop them down.

Hehe, by then their hands will be stained with blood. What other way out will they have but to work for us?

This way, we can both eliminate the high-ranking officials and nobles in the Land of Wind who are not loyal to us, and completely bind the Sunagakure to our side, killing two birds with one stone.

Master, what do you think? Should we do it this way?

The Uchiha spoke eloquently, and his thoughts were almost exactly the same as Feng's.

"Haha, not bad, that's pretty much what I thought. What's your name?"

"Master, this is Hideo Uchiha."

"Well, Hideo, since you came up with this first, then you'll be in charge, and the others will cooperate with you."

In general, as you just said, we control Sunagakure to manage those powerful figures in the Land of Wind, and those who disagree are killed by the Hidden Sand.

However, one more condition must be added: a group of powerful and wicked individuals who bully men and women and commit all sorts of evil deeds should be selected from the capital's elite, and the daimyo should draft an edict for the Hidden Sand to publicly execute them.

Remember, the purpose of doing this is to first separate the daimyo, the nobles, and the ninjas into opposing forces, thus winning them over to one side. Only then will they be too preoccupied to deal with them and can continue with their other underhanded schemes."

"!! You can do that?!"

Understood, Master! I will comply.

"I guarantee they'll become Red Eye and hate each other."

Upon hearing this, Hideo Uchiha's eyes lit up, and his respect for his clan leader deepened even further.

"Okay, go do it." Feng nodded, then waved for the other party to take action immediately.

"Izumi, send a message to Shimizu Takeshi and Sada Hidemasa, instructing them to send people to take over the Land of Wind."

Then, he turned and gave instructions to Uchiha Izumi.

"Are you really going to make a move?"

Baki looked at the nobles from the Land of Wind who had been brought before him, and asked Chiyo and Ebizo beside him in a trembling voice.

"Heh, kid, we just surrendered yesterday, and you want to disobey orders today?"

This is a pledge of allegiance! If we don't fight, they won't consider us one of their own. So, what do you think Uchiha Feng will do?

"Whoosh!!"

Chiyo, on the other hand, took it all in stride, personally learning about the nobles in front of her as she spoke.

Ebizo followed suit, taking action without hesitation.

"... I see!"

"Whoosh!" "Ah!"

Upon hearing this, Baki remained silent for a moment before raising his hand to acknowledge the nobleman before him.

When faced with the choice between their own life and the lives of others, most people can easily make the right choice.

After killing the man, Baki's eyes suddenly became Seimei and resolute.

My hesitation just now was merely a temporary inability to overcome the mindset I'd been raised to be a tool. But after actually making the choice and taking action, I realized that... nobles... haha, are easier to kill than ninjas. And after killing them, I discovered there were some problems.

So what exactly makes them so noble?

With this question in mind, under the leadership of Hideo Uchiha, Baki began to personally supervise and watch as the Chunin of Sunagakure also took action against the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Land of Wind.

As it turned out... it was much easier than dealing with ninjas. Dealing with ninjas, even captured ones, required extreme caution, because someone might be carrying an Explosive Tag or some kind of Sealing Jutsu that could take you down with them.

Dealing with these powerful and influential people was as easy as slaughtering chickens; not a single one dared to resist.

Their shameless behavior of crying, begging, and pleading for their lives made Baki feel that they were not even as principled or idealistic as some ninjas.

And this idea, as the number of nobles killed by the Hidden Sand increased, began to take root and grow stronger in the hearts of other Hidden Sand.

As a result, Hideo Uchiha, who had been assigned by Feng to be in charge of the entire matter, smiled even more broadly.

His values were also directly reshaped by his own clan patriarch back then, so he understands how these people feel now.

And these Hidden Sand whose values have been reshaped will most likely become members of his Mobile Unit, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

As for the fact that he doesn't have Mobile Unit now, well, he's performing quite well. Given the clan leader's habit of bestowing rewards, isn't it a sure thing that he'll form his own Mobile Unit?!
