Initial Reactions from All Sides

At the same time, similar reports piled up on the desks of various factions, large and small, including Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Amegakure, and even the Iron Country, Takigakure, Kusagakure, and Yugakure.

Iwagakure.

Ōnoki squeezed the report in his hand so tightly it made a cracking sound.

His gaze was fixed on a few lines of text on the paper: ' The Land of Whirlpools is suspected of possessing a large number of Wood Release ninjas, capable of constructing a new city capable of housing tens of thousands of people overnight.'

"One night... tens of thousands of people..."

Ōnoki repeated it in a low voice, his face seemingly showing no sign of anything amiss.

But Kitsuchi, standing beside him, could tell from his father's slightly trembling hands that his father was actually extremely shocked.

Kumogakure.

Darui, who had officially assumed the position of the Fifth Raikage, sat in the main seat of the Raikage's Office, listening intently to all the information the Anbu had recently gathered about Uchiha Feng, while pondering deeply.

"... According to all the intelligence gathered so far, there are about a thousand ninjas in the Land of Whirlpools, of which about two hundred Uchiha, and about fifty of them have awakened Wood Release."

According to information leaked by Konoha in the past regarding the Uchiha, Uchiha Feng should still have at least two thousand hidden ninjas.

Currently, the closest force to us that might be colluding with the Uchiha is the Land of Forest, followed by the Land of Crafts...

Darui suddenly frowned and muttered:

"The Land of Crafts?"

He couldn't help but think of the ninja merchant Huo Feng, who had severed one of his boss's arms. Huo Feng was the one who had defeated his boss one-on-one in the Land of Crafts.

What's the situation on Southern Red State Island, where Merchant Ninja Village is located?

So he couldn't help but ask.

"This... it seems that the various island nations in the Southern Seas have collectively closed their borders a long time ago, and there is currently no new information."

"A collective national shutdown? Heh, interesting."

Darui sensed something was wrong almost instantly and became interested.

Amegakure.

At the top of the towering building, Nagato sat in a wheelchair, with Konan standing behind him, quietly introducing him to information about the Land of Land of Whirlpools and Uchiha Feng.

"The bright future that Feng Jun once spoke of seems to have been partially realized."

Nagato, I think... perhaps you should talk to him instead of continuing with that cowardly Uchiha and implementing the Tailed Beasts Plan. That's too dangerous.

Nagato did not answer.

His gaze and attention were entirely focused on the intelligence in his hands; he was studying it intently and thinking deeply.

After a long while, Nagato murmured in a low voice:

"The present is wonderful..."

However, without the strength to deter the Ninja World, that beautiful world will soon be destroyed, and its peace will vanish.

So let's wait and see. Only when he can weather this crisis will it be worth talking to me."

The Iron Country.

Mifune sat in the chief's seat at the samurai residence, and after reading the intelligence report, he casually tossed it aside.

"The Iron Country is a permanently neutral country and will not participate in any disputes in the Ninja World."

Then, he calmly stated his position to the others.

Takigakure.

The village chief looked at the intelligence report in his hand, his expression unreadable.

The Sovereign of Land of Whirlpools is Uchiha Feng, who possesses Susanoo and the Flying Thunder God Technique. For a small ninja village like theirs, he is absolutely not someone to be trifled with.

"What... is our stance?"

The deputy village chief couldn't help but ask.

"Let's see what the other ninja villages do first, and then we'll follow the trend."

The village chief pondered for a moment before making a decision.

"Phew..." The deputy village chief breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He had been worried that the village chief might do something irrational.

The remaining Kusagakure, Yugakure, and Haze Ninja Village, reacted differently. Some, like Takigakure, chose to observe and follow the trend, while others were eager to test the waters.

Regardless of the reason, everyone's attention inevitably turned to the source of it all: Uchiha Feng of the Land of Whirlpools.

"Master, our country, including more than ten others such as Uzushima, Kaze, He, This, and Bird, has been targeted by various forces, including the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, Konoha, and Kumogakure."

If nothing unexpected happens, we should have already been exposed.

Uchiha Izumi spoke, she handed Feng several urgent communication documents.

The message above included Uchiha Inabi, Jianshi, Kenjiro, Shōya, Yōhei, and others. All the Uchiha who had been sent by Feng to control daimyo or Sovereign in various countries had sent back messages requesting instructions.

"Call..."

Upon hearing this, Feng shook his head and sighed helplessly.

He wasn't surprised by the exposure; after all, it had been hidden for so many years and changed so much. Unless everyone in the Ninja World was a fool, it was only a matter of time before it was revealed.

He could only lament that he hadn't held out until the Nagato was filled with rice, and many plans could no longer be implemented.

"Fine, since we've already been exposed, let's not hide it anymore."

However, some of our territories are too scattered. In order to avoid being targeted by neighboring major powers, such as the Land of Forest, Land of Birds, and Land of Snow, which are close to other major powers, we need to be careful.

When announcing the news to the outside world, don't say that those countries have been brought under our control. Just say that the countries currently undergoing changes have joined an alliance of mutual support and assistance.

Let me be the leader of the alliance.

In this way, although we will still be viewed with hostility by other forces in the Ninja World, at least the small countries scattered in various places will not suffer too much damage."

Mei Terumi frowned, looking somewhat worried, and said:

"If Konoha, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and other forces unite, we are currently severely short-handed. Should we recruit students from the Ninja Academy to gather more ninjas?"

Having been under Feng's tutelage for several years, she also learned his extreme view that in the event of war, it was only natural for their side to treat everyone else as an enemy.

"Yes, Master, how about I contact Elder Setsuna and get all the clan members who can go to the battlefield?"

Quan echoed this sentiment.

The Uchiha accepted Feng's idea of controlling everything outside the clan as a matter of course from the first time they learned about it.

"Unnecessary!

If I were like those idiots outside, sending my children and untrained civilians to the battlefield whenever there's a war, wouldn't I have been wasting all these years of my life?

Uchiha Feng smiled slightly, but his answer was resolute.

After saying that, he walked to a huge map of the Ninja World in the room and pointed to the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Lightning.

"Moreover, we are not facing a common enemy of all countries right now."

Those guys who only care about profit and calculation won't be able to reach an agreement in a short time, even if they wanted to unite.

These three countries, in particular, have always been three of the five major rogue nations in the Ninja World. If other forces were to unite, they would definitely be the ones to take the lead.

This gave us an opportunity.

Orochimaru leaned against the wall, his golden snake eyes gleaming. "So, you already have a plan?"

Before the enemy even made a move, Feng had already found a solution, still thinking of taking on everyone outside at once. This... hehe, Orochimaru found it all too amusing.

"I just have some ideas, but as for the specifics, the other party hasn't done anything yet, and plans can't keep up with changes."

It's better to wait until the actual situation calls in and then adapt accordingly.

Feng corrected him.

"Then, Lord Feng, shall I also lend a hand?"

"It would be a shame not to participate in something this interesting."

"To be honest, I happen to have a place that needs a Kage Level expert to keep things under control, and I was wondering who should be sent."

Now that you've asked, I'll have to trouble you."

Feng smiled and pointed at the map again.

"The Land of Waves, the only country between the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Crafts."

The Land of Crafts Inabi Uchiha and border garrisons;

I plan to transfer Jianshi from the Land of Whirlpools. I'll leave Jianshi's garrison in the Land of That you Kazue Megumi to keep an eye on things.

Then Orochimaru, you will be stationed in the Land of Waves in the middle.

A defensive line jointly constructed by a weak Kage Level, a Kage Level, and a Super-Kage Level.

Furthermore, Uchiha Bosawa, who can provide support to your three locations from the Land of Water at any time, is also at the Super-Kage Level, more than enough to handle all the current troubles in the Ninja World."

No one responded to this.

Feng's strategic vision has never been wrong. When it comes to this, everyone has always followed instructions and never said anything out of turn.

Feng looked around and, seeing that no one objected, spoke again:

"Orochimaru, after you go to the Land of Waves, have the merchant Gato come to see me. I have something I need him to do."

Everyone else, go and switch positions as I just said!

"Yes, Master!" everyone responded in unison.

Feng nodded, then waved to signal that everyone could leave.

He himself strolled to the window. Outside, people and cars were coming and going on the road, children were playing in the park, and the eyes of every passerby were shining. It was a magnificent and prosperous scene.
