Although Shinji himself did not know exactly what their grand plan was, that did not stop him from making reasonable deductions.
Just as he had said, what would a group of special grade cursed spirits want to do by joining forces? What could they do?
What was there in this country that warranted such an effort?
Wasn't the answer obvious?
There was only one possible target worth their joining forces and plotting against: Kirigakure!
As long as they destroyed Kirigakure completely, the armed forces of the entire Land of Water would essentially exist in name only.
Moreover, the Land of Water was an island nation in the middle of the sea, isolated from the mainland. Even if other humans wanted to help, they would be too far away to provide immediate aid.
When that happened, the Land of Water would become a paradise where cursed spirits could live and grow.
The humans here would not be wiped out. Instead, they would be ruled and raised like livestock, becoming food for the cursed spirits and nourishment for their growth.
By then, even if the other great nations on the mainland realized what was happening, it would already be too late.
How much manpower and strength could they muster to cross the sea and launch an invasion of the Land of Water after the cursed spirits had occupied it?
And they must not forget that the most powerful cursed spirit here was the incarnation of the sea itself!
Those human reinforcements might be intercepted along the way and buried at the bottom of the sea before they could even set foot on the Land of Water's soil!
