Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 919: If I don’t want to pay protection money, then I’ll fight!

In this war without gunpowder, every detail is crucial and every decision may affect the future of the ninja world.

The Poison Village seemed to realize that it was at the center of the storm.

In order to announce their existence to the world, they chose the bandits and ninjas around the Land of Waves as their targets.

Although these forces that have been causing chaos in the border areas for a long time are quite powerful, in the eyes of the Poison Ninja Village, they are nothing more than targets for training.

As the first batch of poison ninjas from the Poison Ninja Village successfully completed their training, they set out on their journey. These young poison ninjas had a vision for the future and fear of the unknown in their eyes.

It was a turbulent day. The young Poison Ninjas were wearing special anti-poison gear, with strange patterns painted on their faces and the Poison Ninja Village's forehead protectors on their heads. It was a skull logo made by Wesker, symbolizing death and fear.

"Venom Fang", a boy who is only fourteen years old but has already shown amazing talent in poison techniques, has become the core of this operation.

He was thin and had sharp eyes, as if he could see into the deepest fears in people's hearts.

In battle, Venom Fang moves silently between enemy lines like a ghost, releasing subtle but deadly poison gas with every breath.

These poisonous gases are colorless and odorless, but they can quickly corrode the enemy's body, causing the opponent to fall into despair without realizing it.

The moment the battle started, the poison ninjas took full advantage of the terrain, quickly dispersed, and formed an impenetrable encirclement.

Poison Fang was the one who led the charge, using his agility and superb poison skills to constantly create chaos and panic in the enemy camp.

Those usually arrogant and domineering wandering ninjas instantly lost their former arrogance in the face of the poisonous gas of the fangs. Their ninjutsu and physical skills became weak under the erosion of the poisonous gas, and they could only watch their companions fall one by one.

As the battle continued, the battlefield was gradually controlled by the poison ninjas.

Those bandits and vagrants who once wreaked havoc on the area could only lie powerlessly on the ground now, their eyes filled with fear and unwillingness.

The poison ninjas watched all this quietly with the attitude of victors. Their eyes contained both the joy of victory and the infinite longing for the future journey.

This battle of the Poison Village not only successfully eliminated the threat on the border, but also made it famous in the ninja world. However, the spread of fame also brought more attention and hostility.

The ninja villages of the five major countries began to realize the potential threat of the Poison Village. They were worried that this village that used poison as a weapon would break the existing balance and even threaten their position.

The five major countries have maintained superficial peace and order for a long time with their vast territory, powerful military and profound cultural heritage.

However, the emerging force of the "Poison Ninja Village" is like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, challenging the existing pattern and rules with its unique fighting style and survival philosophy.

The existence of the Poison Village itself is a subversion of the traditional ninja concept.

Here, ninjas no longer rely solely on the combination of physical skills, ninjutsu and illusion, but have developed poison techniques to the extreme. From highly poisonous plants in nature to artificially synthesized deadly toxins, all have become deadly weapons in their hands.

They are good at taking advantage of terrain, climate and even human hearts, integrating poison techniques into every detail of the battle, making their opponents step into a death trap without knowing it.

However, it is this uniqueness and strength that has become the source of irreconcilable contradictions between the Poison Village and the five major countries. The five major countries regard the Poison Village as a potential threat, fearing that its growing strength will break the existing balance and even threaten their dominance.

In the traditional concept of small countries relying on big countries, the Poison Ninja Village chose to establish its own organization, refused to pay "protection fees", and was even more unwilling to passively accept missions from big countries. This was undoubtedly a direct challenge to the authority of the five major countries.

The ideas of the five major countries are simple, yet complex.

"What they desire is absolute control. Any force that tries to escape their control will be seen as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh."

The emergence of the Poison Ninja Village undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of the five major countries, and a conspiracy against it was quietly brewing.

The five major countries maintained vigilance and surveillance on the Poison Village on the surface, but secretly sent a large number of elite ninjas to infiltrate the vicinity of the Poison Village to collect intelligence and plan attacks.

They were well aware of the powerful poison techniques of the Poison Village, so they planned to take advantage of the conflicts and disagreements within the Poison Village and implement a "divide and conquer" strategy.

At the same time, a public opinion war against the Poison Village was quietly launched within the ninja world.

The five major countries spread various rumors and slander about the Poison Village through their respective channels, portraying the Poison Village as a cold-blooded and evil force that kills innocent people indiscriminately, attempting to establish a negative image of the Poison Village in the minds of the people in the Ninja World, thereby isolating it from the Ninja World.

Although most of these rumors were groundless, they were enough to cause widespread panic and misunderstanding in the ninja world where information was blocked and people were in a state of panic.

"It would be disadvantageous for us if we go to war directly."

The Hidden Leaf Village had just been disturbed by Virgil. Although Virgil did not kill many people, Konoha was still scared.

They didn't know the origin of the mysterious Virgil, they only knew that there was such a super strong man in the ninja world who was proficient in time and space ninjutsu.

The sudden emergence of the Poison Ninja Village also makes Konoha fearful.

When Danzo Shimura saw this, he thought that this was exactly what he was good at. Danzo Shimura, the consultant known for his conspiracy and tactics, felt that he could take advantage of the conflicts within the Poison Village to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting, just like how he had controlled the Hidden Rain Village and the Akatsuki organization back then.

He might as well do the same with this poisonous ninja village.

The reactions of the major ninja villages were similar. The deadly poison of the Poison Ninja Village was still very frightening, even though most of the Poison Ninjas only knew how to use poison escape techniques, poison gas techniques and ninja tools, and they might not even be proficient in the Three Body Technique.

But if a real fight breaks out, the squishy ninja may be defeated by the opponent who is weaker than the stronger one. Putting aside other things, if an ordinary poison ninja is exchanged for a Chunin or several Genin, it is a huge profit.

The Poison Ninja Village themselves are very confident, mainly because they don't think anyone can be a match for their leader and the chief of the Anbu.

In the Poison Ninja Village, Genin has no status at all and can only obey.

A Chunin automatically gets the position of team leader, and can be in charge of five Genins, while a Jonin is the captain, and usually has five Chunins under him. Wesker was too lazy to make detailed divisions, and simply used a pyramid management structure.

This also makes it easier for him to do calculations.
