The destruction of the Land of Rice Fields did not calm things down. On the contrary, it was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake in the Shinobi World, stirring up huge waves. Delegations from the Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, and many smaller countries arrived in the Land of Fire, bringing strong condemnation and dissatisfaction, demanding that the Land of Fire return the territory of the Land of Rice Fields and allow the people of the Land of Rice Fields to govern their own country.
These envoys were all incredibly arrogant and domineering. The envoy from the Land of Lightning shouted as soon as he entered, "Your Land of Fire has gone too far! Even if the Land of Rice Fields is at fault, you can't slaughter all the nobles! What did they do to offend you? What right do you have to annihilate all the nobles of the Land of Rice Fields and seize their country? This is a disruption of the entire Shinobi World's order! We, the Land of Lightning, absolutely cannot stand idly by. If you don't return the Land of Rice Fields, we, the Land of Lightning, will take action!"
The envoy from the Land of Earth was not to be outdone. He sneered, "Hmph, Land of Fire, you're bullying the weak! The Land of Rice Fields may be small, but its Land of Rice Fields and nobles also have their own dignity and rights. You've unilaterally destroyed another country; this is a serious threat to other nations! We, the Land of Earth, solemnly warn you: if you don't heed our advice and return the Land of Rice Fields, we will unite with all other nations to deal with your Land of Fire!"
The envoy from the Land of Wind went even further, gesturing wildly and shouting, "Your Land of Fire is truly audacious! Even if the Land of Rice Fields was at fault first, such an act of annihilation is unacceptable. You are challenging the bottom line of the entire Shinobi World! We, the Land of Wind, will never allow this! If you continue to act willfully, we will send troops!"
The envoy from the Land of Water, however, adopted a haughty demeanor. He spoke slowly and deliberately, " Land of Fire, your actions are truly disappointing. The affairs of the Land of Rice Fields should be resolved through negotiation among us great powers, not by your unilateral decisions. You are disrupting the peace and stability of the Shinobi World. You claim to be champions of peace; if you do not provide a satisfactory explanation to the Shinobi World, we will have no choice but to consider taking stronger measures."
Other smaller countries also expressed their condemnation and threats.
The words of these envoys instantly created a tense atmosphere in the Land of Fire. Their words were full of threats and accusations, as if the Land of Fire were the one who had committed a grave error. The nobles and commoners of the Land of Fire felt a surge of anger upon hearing these threatening words; they felt indignant on behalf of their country.
Just then, Tian Flying Swallow stepped forward. She and her husband Tsubasa were the highest leaders of the Land of Fire. Tsubasa had always been known for his toughness and decisiveness. Tian Flying Swallow was even more so. Her eyes were cold, and her tone was firm and powerful, like a sharp sword piercing the vitals of these envoys.
"Enough! Ninjas don't interfere in the internal affairs of a nation; that's the rule of the Shinobi World!" Tian Flying Swallow shouted, causing the entire room to tremble slightly. The arrogant envoys immediately fell silent, stunned by Tian Flying Swallow's imposing aura.
Tian Flying Swallow looked at them with a cold smile and said, "You people have some nerve! Don't you know what the Land of Rice Fields has done? They attempted to control the entire Land of Fire by manipulating the daimyo of the Land of Fire of Fire, which is a serious violation of the Land of Fire's sovereignty! The Land of Rice Fields sent ninjas to kill and injure all the men of my family. This is a blood feud. As the strongest nation in the Shinobi World, should we, the Land of Fire, allow ourselves to be manipulated and fooled by small countries? We will destroy the Land of Rice Fields to uphold the dignity and security of our powerful nation, and to warn everyone and every nation in the Shinobi World that the consequence of invading the Land of Fire is the extinction of all nobles and ninjas!"
She paused, her gaze sharpening further. "You're spouting nonsense here, accusing us, aren't you afraid of the ninjas of the Land of Fire? Let me tell you, the ninjas of the Land of Fire are not to be trifled with! Our Land of Fire has always adhered to the peaceful principle of 'we will not attack unless attacked, and if attacked, we will retaliate.' The Land of Rice Fields committed a wrong, and it deserves to have its nation destroyed and its nobility exterminated. We destroyed them; they brought it upon themselves!"
Tian Flying Swallow's voice grew louder and louder, filled with domineering power and intimidation. "Now, you actually dare to threaten our Land of Fire! Let me tell you, the Land of Fire is not to be trifled with! If you really dare to unite against us, the ninjas of the Land of Fire will not sit idly by! We will let you know that the ninjas of the Land of Fire are the strongest ninjas in the Shinobi World!"
She scanned the envoys, then coldly declared, "Go back and tell your national names and shadows that the territory and dignity of the Land of Fire are inviolable! If you truly wish to wage war, the Land of Fire is ready to respond at any time!"
These words were like a bombshell, exploding in the hearts of these envoys. Their previously arrogant demeanor was instantly suppressed, and they all lowered their heads, no longer daring to meet Tian Flying Swallow's cold gaze.
Hearing Tian Flying Swallow's words, the people of the Land of Fire felt a surge of pride. They knew they were fortunate to have such a strong leader. The ninjas of the Land of Fire were also eager to fight for their country at any time.
The entire Shinobi World was plunged into an unprecedented state of tension because of this incident. High-ranking officials from other countries were discussing anxiously, unsure how to respond to the Land of Fire's tough stance. They knew that the Land of Fire's ninjas were powerful, and the consequences of war would be unimaginable.
But the people and ninjas of the Land of Fire were not afraid. They believed in their country, in their Hokage, and in their ninja army. They knew that as long as Hokage Tsubasa and Queen Tian Flying Swallow were there, they could unite as one and overcome any difficulty. Tian Flying Swallow's strong statement further strengthened their determination to defend their country.
The turmoil sparked by the destruction of the Land of Rice Fields continues to unfold, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the Mirai of the Shinobi World. But one thing is certain: the people and ninjas of the Land of Fire will fight for their country, for their dignity, until final victory!
It remains to be seen how this incident will ultimately end, but the Land of Fire's firm stance has shown the entire Shinobi World their determination and courage. Other countries must also re-examine their own positions and attitudes; otherwise, they may face even more severe consequences than the Land of Rice Fields.
Standing atop the high city wall, Tian Flying Swallow looked down at the land beneath her feet, her heart filled with hope. She knew this was just the beginning, and the road to the rise of the Land of Fire was long. But she believed that as long as she and the people of the Land of Fire worked together, nothing was impossible.
"Father, entrust the Mirai of the Land of Fire to me!" Tian Flying Swallow secretly vowed in her heart. Her voice echoed in the wind, as if telling everyone that a new era had arrived.
