When it comes to assassination being the most efficient and making money the fastest, after looking at the roster, Yubi's first choice... must be famous names from some small countries.
After all, in the current Shinobi World, many small countries do not have a ninja system, but are simply monarchies.
Even if the daimyo of these small countries have trained some armies, there is an irreparable gap in overall combat power with ninjas. Even if they hire some rebel ninjas or wandering ninjas, Yubi will still have the confidence to turn them into corpses.
It's just... leaving aside Shinobi World's war, the political context is also very complicated.
Many small countries have established diplomatic relations with big countries and are protected by Five Great Shinobi Villages...
In order to stabilize its position in Shinobi World, Five Great Shinobi Villages has sufficient influence and voice, including economic and trade considerations, and will spare no effort to help some small countries or small villages.
For example, in the current reconstruction of Konoha, some craftsmen and people from other industries from small countries were invited.
If the relationship is not good, who will go?
These small countries or small villages can submit entrustments to Five Great Shinobi Villages and request assistance.
Those with better friendships may even directly spend money to hire the ninja army from the Great Ninja Village... In short, it's not that simple.
Killing a daimyo is a trivial matter, but the trouble that follows is much more difficult... what if it's a junior from a daimyo village?
Shinobi World There are dozens of countries, large and small, in total, but basically they are still organized around Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Therefore, after much thought and adhering to the principle that more is worse than less, although the price is relatively low, with my ability, I can make up for it through quantity...Yubi has set its sights on the "nobles" of some small countries.
As long as one or two are killed, it won't be enough to affect the national conditions of a certain country, and it won't alarm several other great ninja villages, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Moreover, not all small countries have diplomatic relations or connections with big countries.
For example... he is the first person to attack
Land of Waterfalls A nobleman named Uchiyama.
Even though Land of Waterfalls is not big, people also have Takigakure, and the level of Takigakure is not weak, and there are even more Tailed Beast in the village.
Under the situation back then, being able to get a Tailed Beast from Hashirama during the first Five Kage Summit was enough to prove that Takigakure was extraordinary.
Not to mention, Land of Waterfalls is sandwiched between Land of Fire and Land of Earth. In the two consecutive Shinobi World wars, the country and the village were not greatly affected, which shows their strength.
Many small countries disappeared due to the war in Shinobi World.
Shinobi World Friction exists not only between big countries, but also among small countries in private.
For example, the first country...
Of course, the most classic one is definitely Land of Whirlpools, which is closely related to Konoha.
But Land of Whirlpools was "beaten", and the fighting was fast and fierce. In this case, Konoha had to think twice even if he wanted to help.
Moreover, sometimes the will of the village cannot decide whether to send troops.
It also depends on the meaning of the name.
For this task, Yubi can guess who is offering the reward.
Mostly related to the Land of Mountains.
Not to mention this Shinobi World battle, Konoha is under a lot of pressure.
Because Konoha not only had to fight against the other four major ninja villages, but even a small country like Land of Mountains, which had no sense of presence or size, actually took the opportunity to launch an attack on Land of Fire, and then...Land of Mountains was taken care of by Takigakure. They were beaten so hard that they could not hold their heads up, and their national power was reduced sharply.
In this way, although Land of Mountains is honest, he must still have a grudge against Land of Waterfalls.
Therefore, Yubi believes that the financial backer behind this mission, Land of Mountains, is the most suspect.
If you kill this little nobleman yourself, Takigakure will probably also doubt Land of Mountains.
The route to Land of Waterfalls is easy for Yubi.
He was still passing through Land of Rain and Land of Grass, but after entering Land of Rain, he found that... the war in Shinobi World had obviously been over for a while, but the chaos in Land of Rain was increasing instead of decreasing.
It is completely different from what we see in other countries.
As the blockade of each ninja village was lifted... trade began to flow, and there were gradually more people and caravans on the road.
The atmosphere has become relatively calm, giving the impression that there are undoubtedly signs of returning to a peaceful period.
But within the territory of Land of Rain, there are almost no traveling merchants... Even businessmen from various countries deliberately avoid Land of Rain and take a detour.
Just like what he saw and heard when Arai first entered Land of Rain, the local forces and the rebel parties were fighting fiercely... What's more terrible is that the situation in Land of Rain has further deteriorated, causing those armed organizations that feed on war to also begin to enter Land of Rain.
The end of the Shinobi World war caused some people to lose their market and instead gathered in the small Land of Rain territory.
"Hanzō, this old ghost seems to be living in his old age... He doesn't care about anything and allows his cronies to rely on his power to do whatever they want. The harder they bully the people, the more people will rise up and rebel. The resulting battlefield will attract more flies, further complicating the situation..."
Yubi secret channel.
To be honest, even he couldn't stand it anymore.
I don't know what Hanzō is thinking. From Yubi's point of view, Hanzo of the Salamander is simply a bad guy, and he still holds the protagonist's script. With his strength, if he manages Land of Rain in a drastic way, it will definitely be a different story.
I can only say that people have different personalities and ideas.
"Maybe it's also related to Madara..."
Yubi is a little skeptical.
This time when we entered Land of Rain, Yubi also deliberately went to the lake where they met Jiraiya and Konan with Arai. They also looked for a "small house" where several people lived nearby, but due to limited time, they couldn't find it... so they gave up.
Two years ago, the three of Yahiko should have completely parted ways with Jiraiya.
Of course, Jiraiya did not teach the three of them their own unique skills, but only trained the three of them to become excellent ninjas and tap their potential.
A few days later, Yubi settled in a town within Land of Waterfalls.
Pretended to be a businessman and submitted his own endorsement document.
That is, forged identification.
These things were all stolen by him on the road.
Then, he determined the mansion where the target was located, and late at night, he acted alone.
Like a ghost, he entered the noble house.
The entire compound was guarded by warriors armed with weapons, including dozens of other servants, both inside and outside the compound.
Yubi did not take action immediately.
With his speed, these ordinary people would never be able to spot him.
He was going to wander around a bit to see if there was anything valuable.
After a long while, he briefly searched for supplies before he showed up and went straight to the courtyard where the noble master was.
The moonlight was shining, and in the dim courtyard, outside the door of the target house, there was a ninja guard sitting cross-legged.
This man seemed to be aware of it, and he just opened his eyes as he fell into concentration.
He saw a dark shadow coming close to him, passing him by.
I just wanted to shout, but found that I couldn't make any sound.
His head spun and landed on the ground.
And the mysterious man in black had already opened the door of the room where the noble was sleeping and walked in.
