Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 567 Oh no, it's coming for me...

[Title Page Story:]

The Fourth Raikage stared blankly at the newspaper headline about the complete annihilation of the Konoha village team, then looked at Darui, whom he was preparing to carefully train, and asked: "The leader of the Kuma Village in the Land of Kuma... has he lost his mind?"

Darui, standing to the side, twitched at the corner of his mouth, his expression one of utter bewilderment.

No way, how dare they come from this wretched Bear Country?!

He doesn't understand either...

……

The Land of Bears is a small country located southwest of Konoha Village, separated by a bay, on the map.

To the north of this country lies the island of the Land of Whirlpools, which borders the Land of Fire by a narrow dirt road.

However, Yuya later built a canal here, which facilitated the sea route from Konoha Village's port to Sunagakure Village, Yugakure Village, and Amegakure Village.

The canal will definitely have an impact.

The most prominent point is...

The Bear Kingdom, which used to be entitled to collect tolls, has suddenly lost that right...

After all, the ship no longer takes a detour and goes directly through the territorial waters of Konoha Village, so naturally you don't need to pay a toll.

The leader of the Bear Kingdom was naturally unwilling to accept this.

However, circumstances are beyond human control, and Konoha Village is developing at an extremely rapid pace.

The main roads in the Bear Kingdom have just been completed, but most of the roads are still dirt roads. Although the country has electricity, it is mostly used for lighting, and each household has power rationing requirements.

It can be said that the Land of Bears was originally a relatively wealthy country, but its economic lifeline was directly cut off by the Yuya Canal, which is quite tragic.

But whether something is tragic or not is actually relative.

Compared to Konoha, the Land of Bears is certainly in a much worse state, but it's not true that the people there are destitute.

The Land of Bears has very rich silver mines. Originally, silver mines were not accepted by most countries in the ninja world. After all, most countries used copper to mint coins, while Yua tied the resource to gold. Therefore, the status of silver mines was actually quite awkward. Silver jewelry could not compare with gold when it came to valuable jewelry, so its status was always neither high nor low.

However, as Konoha Village's technology was upgraded, the need for silver gradually increased in some areas, and silver from the Land of Bears suddenly became highly sought after.

Therefore, although the ordinary villagers of the Bear Country did not live a good life, the nobles and high-ranking officials of the Bear Country lived very comfortably.

Some people might ask, "With the Bear Country in such a terrible state, won't anyone run away?"

It can only be said that such people exist, but in this situation, on the one hand, the Yuya side is very strict about smuggling, and if caught, they will be sent to prison. On the other hand, the Bear Country basically kills them if they are caught. The risk is very high, and very few people dare to do this directly.

Of course, pressure is one aspect, but another aspect is that it's not impossible to survive in the Bear Country. At least you can eat and stay warm. Therefore, those who are eager to leave the Bear Country either have offended someone or committed a crime that makes it impossible for them to survive.

Either they are ambitious and want to make a name for themselves.

In short, the Land of Fire generally wouldn't accept someone who abandons the Land of Bears to come to the Land of Fire.

Under these circumstances, the relationship between the Land of Bears and the Land of Fire is bound to be strained.

The Bear Village of the Land of Bears wouldn't have any good relationship with Konoha either.

You Ya didn't care at all about this. As long as he could make money, he really didn't care what others thought of him.

But what Yuya never expected was that the people from the Bear Country were so arrogant.

Here I must discuss the form and drawbacks of the so-called feudal system in Youya.

Yuya sent the other ninja clans out, undoubtedly for his own benefit, but that doesn't mean he would completely eradicate the local forces.

This is actually a very rare thing.

It's even more impossible now that the overall direction of the ninja world is peace.

Therefore, Yuya's ideal scenario was to be like Mitokado Homura, ruling over other villages and profiting from them, without ever thinking of directly expelling them from their territory.

The main reason is that if you're not in the right, it will be very embarrassing in the international community.

But as the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes.

The reason the Sarutobi clan set their sights on the Land of Bears is naturally because the Land of Bears has mineral resources and is geographically adjacent to the Land of Fire. In addition, it is surrounded by the sea. Isn't this geographical environment much better than the Land of Hot Springs or the Land of Rain?

The Sarutobi clan probably didn't expect the people from the Land of Bears to be so audacious, arresting them on the spot. Their main force hadn't even set off yet; they were planning to send the vanguard to the Land of Bears first. Whether you call it paying respects or going there to show off their power, the Sarutobi clan had already set their sights on the Land of Bears and would continue to operate with that as their target.

As a result, the Sarutobi clan naturally needs to invest resources in the Land of Bears; it's not that their people can act arrogantly and domineeringly once they arrive in the Land of Bears.

Mitokado Homura and Namikaze Minato set a very good example for the Sarutobi clan.

Even if you're politically incompetent, you can still copy someone else's homework, right?

The Sarutobi clan was preparing to follow the example of Mitokado Homura when he was thrown to the Land of Whirlpools by Yua, and only had a dozen or so trusted followers under his command.

At that time, Mitokado Homura first used some of his family's interests to make a deal with some people in the Land of Whirlpools, gaining their support first, and then gradually consolidating power.

The Sarutobi clan thought the same way: they would first transport some valuables there to win people's hearts, so that no one would be on their side in the future.

You Ya also felt that this method was the best.

But he never expected that the people from the Bear Kingdom would be so stupid as to kill them all and steal all their valuables...

Well, if Youya doesn't make something of this great excuse, it wouldn't be Youya.

Yuya first spread rumors that he would seek justice for the Sarutobi clan.

The people of the Land of Bears were terrified. At the joint conference, they expressed their deepest apologies and offered to make amends, requesting that the Village of Konoha cease its attacks on the Land of Bears.

Afterwards, the Bear Country dragged in other small countries, and they ended up arguing at the United Nations General Assembly.

As for those valuables, of course they can't be returned.

Then, Konoha and the Land of Kuma were locked in a tug-of-war for half a month. Even though Yua had already won more than half the votes at the United Nations Conference, he still did not concede any stance against the Land of Kuma.

Just as the leader of the Land of Bears was smiling, thinking that Yuya's joint conference system was really useful, Konoha Village announced some news.

More than 3,000 members of the Sarutobi clan left the clan and Konoha Village to become free individuals.

The entire ninja world was puzzled.

In less than a week, all the high-ranking officials in the Bear Kingdom were slaughtered, with more than 3,000 people dying in total.

Hey, isn't it a coincidence? The number of people who left the Sarutobi clan is about the same.

Just as the entire ninja world was in an uproar, a spokesperson for the Land of Bears suddenly stated that this was a normal procedure for the change of power within their country.

Everyone was stunned, while Youya was practically dying of laughter.

If the Land of Kuma hadn't intervened, these Konoha ninja clans would never have discovered that there was such a thing as directly killing and seizing a country.

After all, even Yuya wouldn't allow such a thing to happen without a good reason.

However, the leader of the Bear Kingdom was blinded by greed and made the first move, so there's nothing more to say. I'm not a good person either. If you can take from me, why can't I take from you?

We are ninjas from Konoha Village, so we should act like a great nation.

Sorry, that's not the case anymore.

Once the Sarutobi clan has gained benefits through this operation, they'll look back and realize...

Hiss... We just wanted to be an emperor emeritus like Mitokado Homura, how come now, now, now the Land of Bears has become ours?

You guys are really putting me in a difficult position. While the Sarutobi clan says no, no, that the Land of Bears should be governed by the locals, they are simultaneously assigning all of their clansmen to various administrative positions in the Land of Bears.

At this moment, all the ninja clans of Konoha were dumbfounded...

And this kind of operation? !

You Ya wanted to laugh. Yes, that's exactly how it works, but of course, the prerequisite is that the other party has to court disaster.

The leader of the Bear Kingdom opened a Pandora's box with his folly.

The forces that control a country from behind the scenes and the forces that stand in the spotlight and truly wield power are two completely different concepts.

His thinking always stems from his family.

One... that is, like Yuya, it starts from the perspective of the whole country.

The Sarutobi clan's success has made the other clans in Konoha Village widen their eyes.

After that, the Shimura family thought about it for a while...

It seems like we Shimura's family aren't entirely against copying homework...

Thus, the supply convoy, escorted by one hundred ordinary Shimura clan members, arrived in the territory of the Craftsman Kingdom.

Leader of the Kingdom of Craftsmen: ...Oh no, this is coming for me...
