The Land of Birds Changes Hands

There's the blue Byakugan, and the Flying Thunder God Mark Feng himself personally engraved on Naruto and Hinata's backs.

Finding Naruto wouldn't be too difficult for Feng, however, Naruto has already returned to Konoha.

After being ravaged twice by Feng, Konoha, having learned its lesson, spent a great deal of effort to wipe out almost all the Flying Thunder God Mark in the village.

At the same time, Konoha replaced the protective barrier seal and adjusted the number, range, and shift change frequency of patrolling ninjas.

It can only be said that, compared to the Chunin Ninja Exams, in less than a year, Konoha's level of vigilance has increased by more than one level.

However, it was meaningless to Feng. He neither wanted nor needed to know what Naruto Uzumaki did in Konoha. He only needed to keep an eye on what Naruto did after leaving the village.

Therefore, he didn't necessarily need to enter Konoha. Staying at the post station not far from Konoha in Funfun Street would not affect his ability to protect Naruto.

Feng and the others didn't wait long on Funfun Street.

Naruto left Konoha a few days later.

Unfortunately, Naruto's trip out of the village this time was to accompany Shino Aburame in search of insects, and it didn't involve other countries. As a result, Feng and the others could only watch a rather hapless insect battle.

Afterwards, they returned to Funfun Street to wait for Naruto had also returned to Konoha, to leave the village again.

What annoyed Feng was that Naruto left the village three times in a row, but none of them involved other countries.

What Feng didn't know was that, according to the original plot, two of those three trips out of the village were to other countries. One of them should have been to the Land of Rivers with Raiga Kurosuki, and the other should have been to the Tea Country with the thief Five-Inch Nail.

However, Raiga Kurosuki had already taken over the Land of Waves storyline that was destroyed by Feng, Raiga's adopted son Ranmaru, had even been taken to Hanabi Hyūga by Feng to suppress the Konoha and steal Byakugan from the Hyuga Clan.

Needless to say, the Tea Country is the first territory of the Fiend Kingdom, which has been cultivated for more than ten years. Five-Inch Nail is practically dead, with weeds growing three meters high on his grave. There's hardly any plot left for Naruto to explore.

(Note: One of the three times they left the village was when the Konoha members helped lead the students in a field exercise.)

"Master, Naruto Uzumaki has left the village again. Should we continue to follow him?"

Watching Naruto leave the village for the fifth time, Ao rubbed his nearly blinded Byakugan and reported to Feng with little enthusiasm.

"Nonsense, we'll follow you as soon as you come out."

Everyone gather, let's go!

Although Feng was annoyed, he thought that this would speed up the process of unifying the world.

So he mustered his spirits and got to work again.

Fortunately, this time they did not disappoint. Feng led his men to follow Naruto into the Land of Birds, and that very night they witnessed a good show of undead warriors at the Daimyo Palace.

This convinced him that he had definitely made the right decision to come.

Since Feng only cared about the Land of Birds, he remained a bystander and did not interfere in the Land of Birds Naruto Konoha Ninja Land of Birds, and when they discovered that the current daimyo Saga was actually Saga's twin sister, Toki.

Until Toki rightfully inherited the title of Daimyo as a princess, Naruto Uzumaki and the others waved goodbye to Chishima, the person who commissioned the mission and Toki's childhood friend.

Feng Cai finally began to take action.

"Qing, you take two groups and continue following Naruto Uzumaki."

But just follow from a distance, don't get too close, so as not to be discovered by Kakashi and Hinata Hyūga, who also has Byakugan.

Although the turbulent Land of Birds was within easy reach, Feng still arranged for Qing to continue following Naruto.

After all, that guy is too unpredictable as the main character; if you don't keep up for a moment, you might miss a lot.

"Yes, Master."

Ao and the two groups of Uchiha, looking excited, accepted their orders and left.

Their own faction secretly controls almost half of the Ninja World. What is their Master to do in the Land of Birds? Do you even need to guess?

The villain who plotted to assassinate the former daimyo and seize power in the Land of Birds has been eliminated, and Princess Toki has officially succeeded to the position of daimyo. With so many joyous events happening at once, there's no reason for the Land of Birds not to celebrate.

Therefore, a grand banquet was held that evening.

After the banquet, in the inner quarters of the Daimyo Palace, Toki, dressed in women's clothing again, sat with Chishima, gazing at the starry sky, whispering sweet nothings to each other.

Something was suddenly off inside the Imperial Residence; it was too quiet.

There should have been the sound of guards patrolling outside, or at least servants coming up to serve tea and water.

But there was nothing there.

"Chishima..."

The Toki was stronger than the Chishima and was the first to notice something was wrong.

After Chishima Toki, Chishima immediately drew the short sword from his waist and looked around.

Then, the two saw a person slowly walk into the inner courtyard.

Who are you?

Trespassing on the Daimyo Palace is a capital offense!

Guards!

Chishima raised her dagger, pointing it directly at the newcomer, while simultaneously shielding Toki behind her and shouting for help.

"Stop shouting, they're all asleep."

But don't worry, I didn't hurt anyone.

After all... they'll all be my subordinates from now on."

The person who came, Feng, smiled and said in a calm tone.

"Are you an accomplice of Mōsō? Do you also want to seize the Land of Birds?"

Feng's words startled Chishima and Toki, causing them to misunderstand the situation.

"Mōsō?" Feng was stunned for a few seconds upon hearing this.

That guy started as a rogue ninja, first climbing to the position of leader of the wandering ninjas, then secretly disguising himself as a high-ranking monk from the Land of Birds to make a name for himself, then assassinating the former daimyo, supporting the young successor, and cultivating his own power...

Frankly speaking, as a native of the Ninja World, he has actually accomplished things that 99% of the people in the Ninja World dare not do or even think about.

In fact, if Naruto, the destined protagonist, hadn't gotten involved, he might very well have succeeded.

Feng actually admired this guy quite a bit.

Unfortunately, while the overall plan was good, its implementation was riddled with blunders and extremely foolish decisions.

Otherwise, Feng would have tried to protect that guy even at the cost of exposing himself, since truly talented people are rare.

"Although that guy was an idiot, he cleared a lot of obstacles for me, allowing me to reap the rewards."

Ignoring that fool Mōsō, Feng smiled again and strolled leisurely towards Chishima and Toki.

"Good peaches?" Toki, who somewhat understood what Feng meant, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

"Who are you?" Chishima roared, trying to intimidate Feng and hoping someone would hear him and come to his rescue.

But this was clearly futile. This was the inner quarters of the Daimyo Palace's residence, and the craftsman's entire family would not stand for it if the soundproofing was inadequate.

"This is something you don't need to know for now."

Shōya, Yōhei!

This time, Feng didn't answer the two of them. Instead, he quietly called over a pair of Uchiha from behind him.

"What... what are you going to do?"

Toki and Chishima Shi immediately sensed the danger.

"Toki, go quickly!"

Chishima pushed Toki backward and then raised his short sword to attack Feng, trying to buy some time.

But it's clear he's overthinking things.

"Master!"

Feng didn't even glance at him. The two Uchiha Feng had called out appeared in front of Feng in an Body Flicker Technique and respectfully responded to him.

Then, one of them, named Shōya, instantly Two-Tomoe Sharingan and turned to look at Chishima. Chishima then stopped his attack and turned to stare at Toki along with Feng and the others.

"Chishima!"

"Are you Uchiha?"

Although pushed away by Chishima, Toki had no intention of running away alone, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

The Uchiha's reputation was too great; their identities were immediately recognized as soon as their Sharingan.

It doesn't matter, as long as we turn the people we recognize into our own people, we won't be exposed.

And that's exactly what another Uchiha should do.

With his enhanced power Yōhei activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and instantly took control of Toki.

And so, it was that simple. The Land of Birds changed hands silently and without any fanfare.

It can only be said that the difference in understanding between knowledgeable and ignorant people is greater than the distance between Tenchi.

Those great powers have fought for thousands of years, and the ninja villages have fought to the death for decades, but their achievements may not even compare to Feng's casual stroll one night.

He really only strolled around casually and said a few words; the actual work was done by the few Uchiha he brought with him.
