Feng's Demonic Whispers

The nobles had a good plan, but they seemed to have forgotten that in the Ninja World, ninjas were the best at gathering intelligence and were always the first to obtain it.

Therefore, while the nobles were still figuring out how to cover up the news, many ninjas already knew about Feng's message before they did.

However, most ninjas have been brainwashed their whole lives and can't quite come to terms with it so quickly.

However, some people already have different ideas.

For example, Nagato of Amegakure, and Ōnoki of Iwagakure.

However, although Nagato had some ideas, it had only been a day or two, and he hadn't thought them through completely yet, so he hadn't done anything for the time being.

Ōnoki was different. Although his relationship with the daimyo of the Land of Earth was not as irreconcilable as that between Sunagakure and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind during Rasa's time, it was not particularly harmonious either.

The two sides only maintained a superficial harmony because of the war, but in reality they had long since grown to dislike each other and basically ignored each other unless necessary.

Therefore, after hearing what Feng had done to Kōtoku Castle and Iwasaki Castle, and learning about those two messages, he was the first to make a change, unlike the others.

Of course, since it was the first time he had violated 'common sense', Ōnoki didn't do anything too outrageous.

He simply recalled all the ninja armies that had been forced by nobles and daimyo to guard the borders of the Land of Earth of Land of Birds, the Land of Snow, and the Land of Bears, which were allied with the Uchiha Feng.

Furthermore, the three groups of ninja who had retreated were not sent directly back to Iwagakure by Ōnoki. Instead, they were quietly retreated towards the territories of several noble families in the Land of Earth who had the most grievances against Iwagakure in recent years.

"Father, the Daimyo will likely be very unhappy if we do this, Iwagakure's military budget for next year..."

In response, Kitsuchi, who was straightforward and hadn't thought things through, couldn't help but express his concern.

"Military expenses? The daimyo is indeed very dissatisfied with Uchiha Feng, but that doesn't affect his Kōtoku Castle and Iwasaki Castle."

"And the wealth of either of those two families is less than the military expenditure of Iwagakure for several years."

Ōnoki was deep in thought, looking at the intelligence reports on Kōtoku Castle and Iwasaki Castle, and only gave a casual reply to Kitsuchi's words.

But precisely because of this, his words, though seemingly casual, actually reflect his truest thoughts.

"Ah!? But Father, this is robbery, we'll be condemned, and the lord will hold us accountable."

"Well, then, what losses did Uchiha Feng suffer from the Daimyo's questioning? Or did it make him return the wealth he stole?"

"No... but the Daimyo are already angry, and Uchiha Feng has now become the public enemy of the entire Ninja World. He will receive his due punishment sooner or later."

"Heh, punishment? Who will punish him? Those famous figures? Or those nobles?"

Hmph, none of them. In the end, it will only be us ninjas who are treated as tools.

"But if we ninjas don't take action, how do you think the daimyo and nobles will punish Uchiha Feng?"

"This... I don't know."

But the Daimyo is the most revered person in the Ninja World, a descendant of a god destined to lead the nation, surely he should have a way, right?

"Yes, the daimyo is a descendant of the gods, he should have a way."

Hehe, I also want to see if they really have any solutions.

Ōnoki seems to be repeating what Kitsuchi said, but one is a question, and the other is a statement.

Furthermore, there was one more thing he didn't say to Kitsuchi, for fear of frightening the honest, middle-aged 'child'.

The statement was. "A great name may not be as prestigious as they always claim."

Ōnoki was afraid of frightening people, so he dared not utter any rebellious words.

But Feng didn't have that concern. He was already planning to flip the table, so why would he care about that thing?

Next, he still needs to go to the headquarters of the Sawaguchi Trading Company in the Land of Lightning, and the fourth, fifth, and so on, until he has completely wiped out all seventeen noble families that led the alliance against Feng.

In other words, even if the nobles covered up the words he left in Kōtoku Castle and Iwasaki Castle, there would be similar messages waiting for them from fifteen other families scattered throughout the Ninja World.

However, when Feng arrived in the Land of Lightning, preparing to deliver a "righteous act" to the headquarters of the Land of Lightning Sawaguchi Trading Company, the Sawaguchi Trading Company, seemingly having anticipated Feng's arrival, prepared a small surprise for him.

They moved all the members and assets of the Chamber of Commerce elsewhere in advance, and also spent a lot of money to hire a Allied Shinobi Forces of more than a thousand people.

Although these ninjas came from diverse backgrounds, including remnants of the Kusagakure and Yugakure, wandering missing-nin, and bounty hunters, their strength varied greatly.

However, among the ninja force of over a thousand, there are still some special individuals, such as someone with a unique secret technique whose strength is so great that many people have to look at him differently. (Kakuzu: That's right, it's me.)

Not to mention, some people with ulterior motives also infiltrated the group.

"Bang!"

When Feng once again brought justice from above, landing on the headquarters of the Sawaguchi Trading Company, there were very few casualties.

Instead, Susanoo the first to be ganged up on, attacked simultaneously by more than a thousand ninjas who had been lying in ambush.

Several Sealing Jutsu lit up on the ground, attempting to restrict Susanoo's movements;

Shuriken, Kunai, and Explosive Tag rained down like a storm;

Various elemental Ninjutsu — Fire Release, Wind Release, and so on—were simultaneously bombarded from all directions towards the massive, crimson War God.

The explosions from this first wave of attacks even engulfed the 300-meter-tall Susanoo.

But!

Despite the grand scale of the event, the results were disappointing.

Of the numerous attacks, only a few had any effect; the rest were merely scratching the Susanoo.

However, the damage that had a special effect on Susanoo was far less than the speed at which Feng replenished his energy.

Therefore, when the Kakkō subsided, Susanoo appeared before everyone's eyes in its complete form, without even a single crack.

Feng stood with his arms crossed at the core of Susanoo's head, looking down at the ninjas on the ground, some with faces filled with despair, some with confusion, and some with stunned silence. He couldn't help but sneer:

"I want to know how much money those nobles paid you to come and die."

"Bass!"

But as soon as he spoke, he already made his move.

With Susanoo cleaved the merchant guild headquarters in two, but the ninja casualties were not high. It can only be said that these people were not very strong, but they were indeed good at surviving.

But it was only "not bad," "Whoosh!"

Feng instantly Flying Thunder God to the place where the ninjas were most concentrated and had the most people.

"Whoosh! Swish!"

With several consecutive slashes, more than a hundred ninjas were not only killed, but their ashes were also lost.

This was enough to cause the collapse of the ragtag Allied Shinobi Forces, which was essentially a group of hastily assembled individuals united for money.

They either turned and ran, or knelt down and begged for mercy, or secretly ran away, scattering like birds and beasts.

"I also want to know one more thing: if you were to attack those nobles, would it be as easy as it was for me to attack you?"

At this moment, Feng spoke again.

For ninjas, this was a rare chance to catch their breath and escape, so they didn't care about anything else and just wanted to take the opportunity to run as far away as possible.

But for the powerful and wealthy who remained at the scene, protected by a few ninjas, it was the whisper of a demon.

"Shut up! You devil, shut up!"

"Quickly, kill this demon! Whoever kills him will have their bounty multiplied tenfold!"

A powerful nobleman, his heart pounding with rage, couldn't help but point at Feng and roar at the Allied Shinobi Forces that had already scattered and fled.

He simply couldn't imagine whether these powerful figures would still be able to control the ninjas if Uchiha Feng continued talking.

And using money to pave the way has indeed been effective.

Immediately, some money-grubbing or risk-taking ninjas, blinded by the tenfold increase in reward, overcame their fear and turned to attack Feng again.

"Whoosh!"

"Noisy!"

Feng snorted coldly, his knife moving even before his mouth. In cutting the powerful man who had spoken, along with his entire area, into ruins, he also brought some of the sane but lucky survivors to their senses.

"I have one last question. Since you have the courage to risk death for money, why don't you just rob those nobles like I did?"

Haha, no matter how generous the compensation they pay you, it's still a drop in the ocean compared to their entire fortune.

As for the so-called nobles, apart from their seemingly prestigious status, they are actually as easy to kill as killing chickens. Robbing them is much less risky than dealing with ninjas.

Yes, like this!

"Swish! Swish swish!"

The demon's whispers echoed once more.

Moreover, to prove that what he said was true, Feng swung his sword again, cutting all the nobles in his sight into a bloody mist.

As for the fact that nearly a hundred ninjas were killed as a result, they were simply unlucky.
