Feng Strikes Again
At the same time, the Jashin Cult of the Land of Hot Water Springs was completely wiped off the map by Uchiha Feng, which was like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of other people and forces who had designs on the Land of Whirlpools.
Those small ninja villages and forces that were originally eager to make a move all chose to withdraw their outstretched claws after seeing the fate of the Jashin Cult.
If the other side can wipe out the Jashin Cult in three minutes, they can certainly wipe them out in three minutes as well.
The destruction of the Jashin Cult only made those small ninja villages and forces back down, but it did not stop the nobles who were secretly targeting the Land of Land of Whirlpools.
On the contrary, this made those people even more terrified and even more frantic.
"He's too strong, and too out of touch with reality. We must eliminate him before he completely dominates the Ninja World."
Otherwise, with the policies he implemented, we would have to eat and live like those lowly people."
Kōtoku Castle noble of the Land of Fire, spoke to several other nobles in a secret room.
He is a direct descendant of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and one of the most powerful nobles in the Land of Fire, controlling 30% of the Land of Fire's mineral resources and 20% of its farmland.
The rapid development of Feng's forces made him the person who suffered the greatest loss in the entire Land of Fire, second only to the Daimyo.
"The Kumogakure, which struck first, and the Jashin Cult have both failed. We must change our strategy."
A lord from the Land of Earth picked up the conversation.
"What strategy?"
"Joint."
The city lord spoke, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, before continuing:
"It's not just about uniting with us noble families, but with all the forces threatened by Uchiha Feng."
We need to put pressure on the three major powers and demand that they launch a full-scale war.
"Destroy the Land of Whirlpools, and also settle scores with the traitors of the Land of Water and the Land of Wind."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately engaged in a heated discussion.
Some agreed, some hesitated, and some were fearful.
But the fear wasn't of Uchiha Feng as a person; it was the fear that he might lose everything he had because of Feng's policies.
Therefore, the final result was unsurprisingly the same: everyone went back to find everyone they could contact and put pressure on the daimyo of the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Lightning, as well as some smaller countries and forces.
Kōtoku Castle even spoke frankly to the daimyo of the Land of Fire:
"If you do not take action against Uchiha Feng, your interests will also be greatly harmed."
Upon hearing this, the daimyo immediately abandoned his pleasures and joined forces with the nobles.
Whether it's a ninja village causing trouble or a ninja clan stirring up trouble, the daimyo never cares. But if his interests are directly threatened, he'll be more anxious than anyone else.
Therefore, a week later.
Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure then received pressure from the daimyo and countless nobles within the country.
Tsunade turned ashen, and she proceeded to berate the messenger.
"Those fools think they can solve the problem by launching a full-scale war?"
"Uchiha Feng's strength is simply beyond what a full-scale war can handle!"
The more you understand Uchiha Feng, the more you realize the true value of the Flying Thunder God Susanoo.
But the political pressure was real, and even if Tsunade was unwilling, she had no choice but to respond and order Konoha to enter a state of war preparedness.
However, this only meant entering a state of combat readiness, making it impossible for her to take action against Uchiha Feng's territories.
Under this pressure, Ōnoki and Darui first discussed forming an alliance with the three parties in Konoha, and also made the same arrangement with Konoha: to prepare for war but not to take action.
But how could the nobles just watch Feng continue to live a carefree life?
"Hmph! Since those ninja villages only want to watch and are unwilling to take the initiative, then we will help them take action."
Everyone, gather a portion of the ninjas you've recruited, disguise them as ninjas from Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure, and cause trouble in all the places where the Uchiha Feng's policies are being implemented, including Land of Whirlpools, Land of Wind, and Land of Birds.
"This means they will have no choice but to take action next."
Kōtoku Castle said this at a secret meeting of the alliance.
"Yes, that's right. We must force them to take action as soon as possible, otherwise our interests will continue to be lost."
Other nobles followed suit.
What Kōtoku Castle didn't know was that the few minor nobles shouting the loudest below were all Feng's men.
They had colluded with Gato in their early years, and he had a lot of dirt on them, so they had no choice but to act as traitors.
Therefore, Feng was fully aware of all the nobles' schemes.
In response to this...
Not long after, in the conference room of the Land of Whirlpools.
Uchiha Izumi picked up the list that Gato had handed over and read it aloud one by one:
"The Kamo of the Land of Fire, the Kōtoku Castle, the Sawaguchi Trading Company of the Land of Lightning, the Iwasaki Castle of the Land of Earth... eight daimyo and seventeen great noble families."
"Great names, nobles, hehe, interesting. Looks like I need to find them something to do."
"So that they won't keep watching us."
"Master, what are your plans?"
"First, shatter their long-held mythical status, then teach all ninjas that power lies in the fist, not in status."
Feng smiled and gave his answer.
But that smile seemed a little creepy to others, who felt as if their Master was about to unleash some powerful attack.
However, because they did not understand the principle that power lies in the fist, they had no idea what Feng was trying to do.
Some things are better done than said, so Feng didn't elaborate further, simply saying:
"Izumi, gather the people who were most skilled and fastest during the raid on Konoha."
"Yes, Master!"
Quan immediately agreed upon hearing this.
A few days later, the Kōtoku Castle in the Land of Fire was granted a fiefdom.
Because things are going quite smoothly with Uchiha Feng, he is happily hosting a banquet at home.
Then, the sky was suddenly covered.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, Feng unleashed his full power, adding even more Senjutsu, Susanoo descended from the heavens, bringing justice to the city lord's mansion.
Many people were trampled into mincemeat on the spot, and the banquet that was just moments before filled with laughter and joy instantly turned into a graveyard that countless people wanted to escape from.
Feng stood at the core of Susanoo's head, looking down at the terrified nobles below, and calmly spoke:
"Kōtoku Castle, why weren't you invited to the banquet? Are you looking down on me?!"
As they spoke, Susanoo's right hand had already drawn Susanoo's long sword.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of red light appeared, and the city lord's mansion split in two.
Kōtoku Castle was in the main seat, turned into a blood mist and disappeared on the spot.
"Lord City Lord!?"
"Help!"
"Lord of the Land of Whirlpools, I surrender! Spare me!"
The city lord's mansion instantly erupted into a cacophony of activity, with everyone reacting in their own way.
"Whoosh! Swish! Whoosh whoosh!"
In response, Feng grinned maliciously and manipulated Susanoo to swing it again. After several swings, the entire city lord's mansion fell silent, and not a single living person could be seen.
"Psychic Tokatsu the Chameleon"
"Bang!"
Then, he Summoning Tokatsu, who had transformed into Castle.
"Come out and empty this place."
As Feng spoke, the men skilled in robbery that he had previously summoned through Quan emerged from the Castle.
The group filed out and, following Feng's instructions, quickly moved all the valuables from the city lord's mansion into Tokatsu's body.
"You guys go back to Kyakumei Forest with Tokatsu first and unload everything. We still have several places to move."
Feng nodded in satisfaction.
A moment later, everyone entered Tokatsu's body and was sent away by him. He then manipulated Susanoo again and wrote a sentence on the ground of the city lord's mansion with a 'swish':
"--Fist is power; status and position are worthless in the face of absolute power!"
A powerful ninja left behind
Only then did he leave, satisfied.
The very next day, the Iwasaki Castle in the Land of Earth was also easily crushed to ashes by Susanoo in his castle mansion.
On the ground were left the words: "Why do ninjas grovel before nobles? They are clearly like ants before us."
Meanwhile, news from Kōtoku Castle's side finally spread throughout the Ninja World.
One of the greatest noble families in the Land of Fire was easily crushed into dust by Uchiha Feng also emptied the entire lord's mansion, plunging many nobles into panic.
But this wasn't what worried the nobles the most. What they were more concerned about were the highly inflammatory words Feng had left on the grounds of the city lord's mansion.
Especially after the news spread throughout the Ninja World that the Iwasaki Castle in the Land of Earth had been killed and that a highly inflammatory message had been left at the castle's mansion, the nobles panicked even more, and even the various daimyo who hadn't been very nervous before started to panic.
For thousands of years, they've proclaimed that 'those of noble blood are the foundation of world order, and ninjas are merely tools!'
But those were just things the nobles used to guard against those superhuman ninjas; they were just fooling idiots.
Those among the nobility with any sense clearly understood that those who possessed Chakra were the ones who would determine the course of the world.
Otherwise, why would each daimyo be accompanied by Guardian Ninja, and why would they all form marriage alliances with powerful ninja clans?
For example, in the Land of Fire, the daimyo and the Senju; in the Land of Lightning, the daimyo and the Yotsuki Clan, where A is located.
But now, Uchiha Feng is tearing apart the lies the nobles are using to deceive the ninjas.
Once the ninjas learned of Uchiha Feng's words, some began to reflect and awaken!
The nobles couldn't even imagine the consequences.
So they didn't even bother dealing with Feng anymore; all they wanted to do was cover up the news and keep it from the ninjas.
