Amegakure, Amekage Office ~щww~~lā
Tsunade looked at the several intelligence reports on the table, her head bowed in thought, her face expressionless.
"It's going to get chaotic again."
After a while, Tsunade picked up the cup beside her, took a sip of water, and shook her head with a sigh.
However, no matter how chaotic the Shinobi World is, it won't affect Amegakure, at least that's how Tsunade sees it. No major power would be so foolish as to target Amegakure.
" Lady Tsunade, the number of refugees entering the Land of Rain is increasing lately. Aren't you going to think of a solution?"
Standing next to Tsunade, Shizune picked up the Tsunade, filled it with water, and then asked softly.
Tsunade her head and said, "We can't just forbid them from entering the Land of Rain; that would be too cruel. But you're right, we can't go on like this..."
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Konan walked in with a piece of information, placed it on the desk in front of Tsunade, and spoke with a slightly solemn expression.
" The Land of Demons is in trouble and has requested our assistance."
"Um?"
Tsunade gave a slightly strange look. It wasn't surprising that more than one or two small countries had requested support from the Land of Rain these past few days. But for Konan to personally deliver this information meant that this was no simple matter.
Picking up the intelligence report from the table, Tsunade examined it for a moment, her expression gradually becoming serious.
The Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps are connected, but because they are separated by a distance, they are divided into the Land of Swamps and the Land of Demons.
Neither of these countries had ninjas.
However, the highest-ranking person in this country is a special priestess who is said to possess the ability to foresee the future, as well as the ability to seal away a monster Moryo.
The Moryo don't seem to have originated from this world; they appear to have come from another world. Their power is not to be underestimated, and they can create a large number of puppet armies that can be resurrected indefinitely. While they are not enough to threaten large countries, they are a big problem for small countries.
In the beginning, the Moryo caused great destruction, alarming the Five Great Nations. Just as the nations were preparing to suppress it, the first priestess appeared and sealed the Moryo away.
The intelligence report stated that the Moryo had broken the seal and resummoned the puppet army.
"Even if the Moryo aren't as powerful as the Tailed Beast, they're still monsters and shouldn't be underestimated." After reading the intelligence, Tsunade pondered for a moment, then nodded to Konan and said, "Since you're here, you must be planning to go there yourself."
"Um."
Konan nodded and said seriously, "They are too close to our Land of Rain, posing a significant threat. If the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps fall completely, they will likely threaten our borders immediately."
Tsunade nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it would be good for you to go. Besides, this time... it seems like it would be a good opportunity to incorporate the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps into the Land of Land of Rain."
At this point, Tsunade suddenly smiled and said, "I was just having a headache about what to do with those refugees, so expanding the territory will solve the problem."
Normally, Tsunade wouldn't actively annex surrounding small countries, but this time, the Land of Demons ' request was extremely urgent, and they stated that they could agree to any conditions, meaning that even incorporating the Land of Demons into the Land of Rain's map was acceptable.
The turmoil in the Shinobi World has left all the small countries in a precarious state, living in fear and uncertainty, and most of them are eager to gain an alliance with the major powers.
As for those countries that don't even have ninjas, they don't even qualify for an alliance.
"Good."
Konan nodded slightly to Tsunade, then picked up the intelligence document on the table, turned around, and prepared to leave Amegakure for the Land of Demons.
However, the moment she turned around, the intelligence documents in her hand were suddenly snatched away, and a figure stood very close behind her without her noticing.
Konan was startled at first, then she realized what was happening.
"Teacher Uya."
Without even looking, it was obvious Kushina only Amegakure could appear so close behind her without her noticing. Even Uya couldn't do that.
"Precognitive abilities...?"
Uya glanced at the intelligence document in his hand, smiled slightly, and handed it back to Konan, saying, "I'll take care of this."
Upon hearing Uya's words, both Konan and Tsunade showed a hint of surprise.
It's just a monster that can create puppet armies, maybe not even as good as a Tailed Beast. I didn't expect it to alarm Uya, who wants to go there in person.
Before Konan and Tsunade speak, Uya's figure gradually faded and then disappeared from the Amekage's office.
Having long been accustomed to Uya's elusive nature, Tsunade and the others did not show any surprise.
"Well then, Konan, you can continue with your work."
"Um."
Konan nodded and then turned to leave.
Tsunade and Konan stopped thinking about the Land of Demons. Since Uya was going there in person, what could one Moryo or even ten Moryo do to them?
The Land of Demons.
Inside the palace where the priestess resided, a large number of officials were gathered, their faces filled with worry and apprehension, discussing amongst themselves.
Outside the palace, a large number of guards also wore uneasy expressions, their eyes filled with panic, and their hands gripping their weapons trembled slightly.
"Haven't any ninjas arrived yet?!"
"Those puppets are almost here!"
Inside the palace, the officials' expressions of anxiety grew stronger with time; everyone was uneasy, and the entire palace was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
The priestess Shion of the Land of Demons sat on an exquisite cushion at the very top, looking like a porcelain doll. Her fair skin was so delicate it seemed like it could be broken with a touch, and her slender arms and legs showed no sign of strength.
It's hard to tell from her that she can seal away Moryo.
He paid no attention to the officials' chatter, simply sitting there with his head down, lost in thought.
"We've sent requests for help to all the nearest ninja villages, but there's been no response so far."
"Don't those ninjas realize that if they don't stop it, this world will be destroyed by that monster!"
Just as these officials were gritting their teeth and speaking, the earth suddenly began to tremble slightly and rhythmically.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The tremors were very rhythmic, like countless people marching in unison. At first, the movement was extremely subtle and few people noticed it, but gradually, almost everyone in the palace became aware of it.
After a moment of silence, chaos Setsuna the palace. (To be continued.)
