Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 930: River Country is Down

Wesker conducted a detailed investigation of the five major ninja villages and also learned about the mysterious man Virgil causing trouble in the Hidden Leaf Village.

Regarding the five major ninja villages, Wesker believes that their most difficult problem is the "Tailed Beast Jinchuriki".

As for other jonin and kage-level people, it's easy to deal with them, but Wesker doesn't believe that they are immune to toxins and viruses.

But if the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki transforms into a Tailed Beast, that may not be the case.

So Wesker's first step was to avoid villages with tailed beasts, including Takigakure.

The rest are all targets they can attack.

The first step of the Poison Ninja Village is to choose a nearby country.

There is no way, the Wave Country is not suitable for development.

This country is made up of many small islands, just like Indonesia in reality, which is known as the "Country of a Thousand Islands". Since the country is made up of scattered small islands, it is not suitable for farming, and national resources are also scarce, so the country is weak and unable to train ninjas.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Waves has always survived in the cracks between the major countries, and the people do not have many means of making a living. They generally live off the mountains and the sea, and most of the residents are fishermen.

The Wave Country is located to the south of the Fire Country, and there are not many countries that can be invaded.

To the east is the country of soup and the country of water.

To the north is the Land of Fire.

Wesker asked Alex to lead a thousand poison ninjas to conquer River Country for him first!
The Kingdom of Rivers is like a small country surrounded by vast nature, shielding it from the outside world.

It is a suitable place to establish a hiding place, and the base of Akatsuki is also here.

Located between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind (conflicting with the Kingdom of River, the Kingdom of That, and the Kingdom of This).

There is no ninja village in River Country, only a few ninja families.

The Poison Ninja Village has difficulty developing and growing due to its lack of resources and remote geographical location, but their desire for power has never been extinguished.

Finally, after careful planning, the Poison Village decided to launch a surprise attack on the neighboring River Country, intending to incorporate it into their own territory as a springboard for expanding their power.

The speed of this raid was astonishing. The ninjas of the Poison Village shuttled between the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of the River Country like ghosts, taking advantage of the terrain and quickly occupying various key nodes at the lowest cost.

Their poison techniques were fully demonstrated on the battlefield. Whether it was the poison mist spread through the air or the poison traps laid on the ground, they caught the ninja family of River Country off guard and left them unable to fight back.

The leader of the Poison Village even personally took action and used his extraordinary poison skills and wisdom to convince the Daimyo of River Country, making him believe that cooperation with the Poison Village would be the guarantee of River Country's future prosperity.

Thus, with the tacit understanding of both parties, the Poison Village officially became the new ninja village of River Country and obtained unprecedented resources and support.

However, all this did not escape the eyes of the Akatsuki organization.

After all, River Country is the base of Akatsuki.

As a mysterious and powerful existence in the ninja world, the Akatsuki organization has been secretly observing the movements of various forces, looking for opportunities to subvert the existing situation.

Regarding the sudden rise of the Poison Village, different opinions also arose within the Akatsuki organization.

Some people believe that the threat from the Poison Village is not enough to shake their plans, while others worry that the expansion of the Poison Village may break the existing balance and even threaten the safety of the Akatsuki organization itself.

Although the Akatsuki organization was aware of the invasion of the Poison Village, their top priority was still to maintain their own secrecy and safety.

Therefore, despite their dissatisfaction with the actions of the Poison Village, they chose to stay put and wait and see. However, as the Poison Village's power in the River Country became increasingly solid and even gained the support of the Daimyo of the River Country, this change forced the Akatsuki organization to re-examine its position.

At the same time, the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire also felt unprecedented pressure. As one of the five major villages in the Ninja World, Hidden Leaf Village has always been known for its strong strength and rich resources.

However, faced with the rapid rise of the Poison Ninja Village in River Country, the top leaders of Konoha Village also felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

As the leader of the ninja world, Konoha has an intelligence network that is so extensive and sharp that other ninja villages cannot match.

When the news that "the Poison Ninja Village occupied the River Country" spread to Konoha like wildfire, the whole village was shrouded in an indescribable atmosphere of tension.

Inside the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third Hokage known as the "Ninja Hero", frowned, his eyes revealing an unprecedented solemnity.

"The Poison Village's actions were so swift, there must be some ulterior motive behind it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice to the Anbu members around him.

"We must immediately strengthen our surveillance of the Kawakuni, and at the same time, be prepared for the worst."

Then he summoned Danzo Shimura.

Danzo walked into the Hokage room with his usual dark smile on his face.

"Hiruzen, what do you want from me?"

Shimura Danzo asked in confusion.

"Danzo, we need more information about the Poison Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said directly.

Danzo said with a hint of helplessness, "The Poison Ninja Village is indeed a difficult place to deal with. They have built a defense line using unique poison techniques, making it extremely difficult to infiltrate or investigate. Our spies have tried many times, but most of them failed to come back alive. Even a few who succeeded in infiltrating found that the village was full of deadly poison gas traps. Even the top detoxification experts have not been able to find a way to crack them."

He paused and continued, "What's more worrying is that the Daimyo of Kawanokuni actually chose to cooperate with the Poison Village. There may be a deeper conspiracy behind this. We must find out the true intentions of the Poison Village as soon as possible, and how they convinced the Daimyo of Kawanokuni."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew that what Shimura Danzo said made sense. The ninja village supported by the Daimyo of River Country was different from the ninja village supported by the Daimyo of Wave Country.

In the future, the Poison Ninja Village may grow and develop in the River Country and abandon the Poison Ninja Village in the Wave Country.

By then, it will become a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, and an obstacle for the Fire Nation and Konoha.

"Is there really no way to get more information, including the leader of the Poison Ninja Village?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and asked again.

"Hiruzen, you don't believe me?"

Danzo Shimura said angrily that he also wanted to know who the leader of the Poison Village was and what abilities he had.

The problem is that the guy is hiding in the Poison Village and won't come out, and no one knows if there are any traces of him in the Poison Village of River Country.

"I just think this is very important. If we don't figure it out, it will be troublesome if it turns out to be another Salamander Hanzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said.

Although Hanzo of the Salamander was ultimately unable to lead the Hidden Rain Village to rise, he was still a powerful figure in the ninja world!
