It was Mei Terumi who explained the problem clearly, and coupled with the mentality that family disgrace should not be made public, the other elite Mist Ninjas and the old master reached a consensus and directly put the blame on the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, and refused to acknowledge any other rumors.
"...Then, I and everyone else will usher in a new future together!"
When the cheers of the Mist Ninja and civilians died down, Mei Terumi, who had already put on the Fifth Mizukage's conical hat and obtained the official document of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, becoming the Fifth Mizukage of the Mist Village, spoke to everyone present. The Mist Ninja and civilians, who did not hear the other meaning of Mei Terumi's words, directly understood it as the new future of the Mist Village, and their cheers became deafening.
After all, the Mist Ninjas and civilians of the Mist Village had had enough of the days in the Bloody Mist Village and were eager to end this terrifying life. As soon as the Fifth Mizukage took office, he announced the cessation of the Bloody Mist Strategy, giving them new hope!
……
"Ah~! Mo, there are so many troublesome things to do in a village. I really want to stop working and have a good rest... Eh? Who is this? Konoha's S-rank rebel ninja Orochimaru?!"
When Mei Terumi returned to the office in the new Mizukage building, she asked the Shadow Guards to guard outside the door and immediately threw herself on the sofa without any image, eating some fruit while complaining to Li Mo. Then she noticed Orochimaru sitting on the other side of Li Mo. She recognized this extremely famous S-rank rebel ninja of Konoha after just two glances.
"Oh, don't be alert, Lord Orochimaru is a new member of our team!"
Facing Mei Terumi's somewhat vigilant gaze, Li Mo waved his hand to signal that she didn't need to worry, and explained Orochimaru's current situation. He then walked to her side slowly, gently put his arm around the Fifth Mizukage's slender waist, and said to his woman with great concern: "Don't worry, Mei Terumi, when the situation in the Mist Village and the Land of Water stabilizes, you can pull the Rainbow Land, the Sea Land, and the Land of Water together to form a new alliance. Then you won't have to worry about so many daily affairs..."
As for Mei Terumi's complaint, Li Mo was naturally very clear about the reason for her complaint. In a world where individuals have extraordinary powers, the strong may not necessarily have sufficient management capabilities. The situation of ninjas is even more complicated.
Anyway, according to the information Li Mo has confirmed so far, of the many ninja clans and scattered ninjas in the ninja world, the ones that were managed the most were the villages and towns where their own clans gathered and some affiliated villages. The affiliated villages that were managed in a rough manner paid taxes to the ninjas that sheltered them every year, and the ninja clans sent ninjas to solve the troubles they encountered. As for the internal affairs of the ninja clans, there would not be too many things to deal with.
The problem is that among the five major ninja villages where many ninja clans and civilian ninjas gather, the Sand Village with the smallest population has a population of nearly 100,000. Add to that the population of villages and towns in the surrounding influenced areas and the daimyo and nobles of the country where they are located, as well as the internal power struggles and various affairs. It can be said that the Kage of the five major ninja villages needs to deal with a lot of things every day, and the ninjas who hold the swords have never thought about setting up a special government affairs processing team, or they have thought about it but have not implemented this method.
After all, for the Kage of a village, it is easy to give up the power they hold, but it is extremely difficult to take it back. Otherwise, just look at what happened to the future Fifth Hokage Tsunade, and you will know how helpless it is to use political means instead of violence to take back the power that the Kage of a ninja village should have. Those who have obtained the power will not give it back obediently.
Hearing Li Mo's words, Mei Terumi nodded to show that she understood. She no longer paid attention to Orochimaru who was sitting on the side and reading a biology book. She slowly changed to a more comfortable posture, then looked up at Li Mo and said to her man:
"Indeed, I'll hold on for a few more months~!"
Chapter 45 The Birth of the Ninja Alliance
The dramatic changes in the Land of Water and the Mist Village, the replacement of the Fourth Mizukage and the current Daimyo, have already attracted the attention of all forces in the entire ninja world. However, three months later, an even more shocking piece of news spread directly throughout the ninja world.
All the countries and forces on the sea, represented by the Water Kingdom, the Sea Kingdom and the Rainbow Kingdom, formed the Ninja Alliance!
Even though the four major countries and other small countries in the Ninja World are mostly on the Ninja Continent, the presence of the Water Country and several other small overseas countries is not high. But no matter what, several maritime countries and other scattered forces, added together, are definitely a considerable force, and are definitely much stronger than the previous single Mist Village.
Especially this new force, which does not use the name of XX country and XX ninja village, but chooses to use the name [Ninja World Alliance], which makes some people feel that the situation seems not so good.
It should be said that there are still smart people in the ninja world. Even though the three Ninja World Wars among the five major ninja villages have made their brains go crazy, they also understand that the name of XX Ninja Village is limiting themselves. However, the birth of the Ninja World Alliance is a completely different situation.
At the very least, if the Land of Water and the Mist Village only relied on their own names, they would just win over a few followers who might not be loyal. But after changing to the name of the Ninja World Alliance, it would be possible to unite with other ninja villages and countries in name. Moreover, as the news of the establishment of the Ninja World Alliance continued to spread, even the Konoha Village and the Cloud Village, which were fighting fiercely, felt that something was wrong.
The Ninja Alliance was established and took control of the most profitable ocean trade?
The Ninja Alliance, which was made up of the Water Kingdom, the Sea Kingdom, the Rainbow Kingdom and other countries, and the Mist Village absorbed other scattered ninja teams and rebellious ninjas to form a patchwork ninja alliance. It actually began to integrate internally, and the ninjas became an open armed force?
In other words, the ninja villages and countries were directly abolished in the Ninja Alliance, and the ruling method became completely different from that of the Ninja World?
Shocking news one after another came out from the spies and businessmen arranged by the Four Major Ninja Villages and the Four Major Countries in the Ninja World Alliance, making the Four Major Ninja Villages and the Four Major Countries a little uneasy. Those daimyo and the shadows of each village obviously felt that something was not right. However, at this time, it was difficult for them to influence the Ninja World Alliance located overseas.
The current ninja world is not a peaceful period. The impact of the just-concluded Third Ninja World War has not yet disappeared. Konoha Village and Kumo Village have been fighting for several months because of the abduction of the Hyuga family's daughter, and have suffered heavy losses. Coupled with the losses from the Third Ninja World War, the situation of the two villages is even worse than that of Iwagakure, which suffered heavy losses. Up to now, Sand Village has not recovered from the losses of the Third Ninja World War.
There's no way. The Sand Village didn't lose the most ninjas in the Third Ninja World War, but when compared with the base number of ninjas of the Sand Village before the Third Ninja World War, it basically replaced two batches of ninjas of the Sand Village before the Third Ninja World War. After the war, the Daimyo of the Wind Country cut funding, and the Fourth Kazekage protested to no avail and had to work as a gold miner to raise funds. Naturally, the recovery speed was very touching. The situation of the other three major ninja villages was similar, either licking their wounds or bleeding each other.
As for the other small ninja villages, they are not comparable to the five major ninja villages. Even the Rain Village, the ceiling of small ninja villages, was only half as strong as the Sand Village at its peak. And now the Rain Village, Hot Spring Village, and Kusanagi Village combined are no match for one of the five major ninja villages in a head-on combat. The Mist Village plus other scattered small ninja organizations and wandering ninjas will definitely crush them.
Moreover, the major ninja villages and daimyos of various countries have different ideas. Even if some of them feel that the establishment of the Ninja Alliance will bring about great changes, it is wishful thinking to expect many ninja villages and daimyos of various countries to put aside their grudges and reach a consensus in a short period of time and work together to fight against the Ninja Alliance.
At the very least, the Ninja Alliance showed that the new Daimyo of the Land of Water was still the leader of the alliance, and the Daimyo and nobles of those merged small countries still had wealth and status. If the Ninja Alliance alone appeared, it would not be able to get the Ninja World to join forces to besiege it.
On the other hand, the establishment of the Ninja Alliance quickly integrated many maritime forces in the Ninja World, and its integration speed far exceeded the imagination of other countries.
It was like a snowball. At the beginning, the Rainbow Kingdom, the Water Kingdom and the Mist Village together accounted for as much as 90% of the maritime national forces in the Ninja World. After the three of them united, Li Mo didn't need to do anything in private. The other small ninja forces scattered on various islands had already come to choose to join the Ninja Alliance.
This is not something to be surprised about. There are actually only a few large marine forces in the ninja world. The Mist Village is the largest one among them. Others, including the Sea Kingdom and the Rainbow Kingdom, did not have their own ninja villages before Li Mo took control of the Rainbow Kingdom. They would hire ninjas from the Mist Village from time to time to complete those tasks. Occasionally, there were small ninja organizations or wandering ninjas, but their strength was not that strong.
After all, those small ninja organizations and wandering ninjas cannot even establish a ninja village, and some are even in the embarrassing situation of being half pirate and half fisherman. Among them, they may have a special jonin who is considered a leader, but it is almost impossible to see a formal jonin-level strongman. Among them, there are also spies arranged by other large ninja villages and countries.
The Ninja Alliance absorbed these small ninja organizations and wandering ninjas who came to them on their own initiative without hesitation. Li Mo was not afraid of too many people coming anyway. Even if he did not intervene, with the original foundation of the Mist Village, it would be difficult for ordinary spies to sneak in. They would all be screened by the Mist Ninjas and then secretly cleaned up. But now, with the support of the Rainbow Country and Li Mo, it didn't matter whether they were spies with ulterior motives or guys who came to them sincerely.
After all, during the few years when Li Mo was developing the Rainbow Country, he absorbed millions of immigrants who were a mixed group. However, under the surveillance of the ninja soldiers and the Anbu, those former gangsters and criminals were thrown into labor camps, and most of the hidden spies and wandering ninjas were implanted with the early version of the [Fusion Seed] and became Anbu ninjas who contributed all their strength to the development of the Rainbow Country. Now that the Ninja World Alliance has been established, the advanced experience of the Rainbow Country must naturally be promoted, and some of the spies are completely express deliveries that come to the door on their own.
Anyway, those spies that the other four major countries and the big ninja villages tried to arrange either became hidden agents to reply to various messy messages and to deceive people at critical moments, or simply disappeared without a trace, and then they could be seen in the masked Anbu ninja sequence or in Orochimaru's newly established laboratory. The Ninja Alliance would never waste these human resources that came to its doorstep, just like Li Mo secretly cleaned up those daimyos and nobles.
On the surface, Li Mo has not taken any action against the daimyo and the aristocratic system for the time being. Even the new daimyo of the Land of Water, whom he replaced, is still the leader of the Ninja Alliance in the eyes of other countries and large ninja villages in the Ninja World. Most of the daimyo and aristocrats of other small countries have also retained their wealth and power, and at most they have just changed their skin.
According to the daimyos and nobles, changing one's title to gain real power and wealth is actually a meaningless matter. Just like the rulers of Japan in the present world before Li Mo traveled through time, even if there was the Meiji Restoration and the parliamentary election system initiated by the American garrison, there were still a group of vested interests and new interests occupying high positions. The most they could do was to change their skin and hide behind the scenes.
The problem is that Li Mo obviously would not tolerate the Ninja Alliance he established being occupied by a bunch of insects. If he did not want to immediately provoke a fierce reaction from the daimyos and nobles of various countries in the Ninja World, he would have directly used the Red Bear's Miracle Gulag Light, instead of doing nothing excessive on the surface like he is doing now, while secretly and stealthily cleaning up those daimyos and nobles step by step.
Of course, the advantage of Li Mo's doing this is that it will not immediately arouse hostility from various countries in the ninja world. For example, the daimyo and nobles who have relatives or in-laws with the Water Kingdom, the Sea Kingdom, and the Rainbow Kingdom, after being controlled and replaced as their own people, will directly release all kinds of half-true and half-false news, such as there are unlucky people who stood on the wrong side and were sent to the Rainbow Kingdom to open up the wasteland, and there are also good news about people who stood on the successful side and got promoted and made a fortune. This will put the daimyo and nobles from various countries in the ninja world at ease, and at most they will pay attention to the opponents that the Ninja Alliance may target.
After all, most people don't have a vision too far ahead, and it's a good thing if they can see what's in front of them. For example, there are daimyos and nobles with outstanding vision in the four major countries and various small countries in the Ninja Continent, but when they don't feel a fatal threat, they want to unite to deal with the Ninja Alliance. It's better to hope that the several major ninja villages with their brains beaten out of dogs will immediately shake hands and make peace and then become one. The probability of that happening may be a little higher.
Taking this situation into consideration, Li Mo did not clean up those insects on a large scale. On the contrary, he pretended to be a rising new overseas force. Compared with those insects, the original ninja army, Mist ninja and wandering ninja within the Ninja Alliance were quickly reorganized and then promoted based on their abilities and achievements, leaving the newly joined Mist ninja speechless.
Externally, the Ninja Alliance did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, it still maintained overseas trade. However, the establishment of the Ninja Alliance still had a very drastic impact. For example, the four major ninja villages had already felt the threat and took different actions!
Chapter 46 Impact and Change
"Chiyo-senpai, Ebizaru-senpai, do we really need to step up our investigation of the Ninja Alliance?"
In the Kazekage Building of the Sand Village, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa was looking at Chiyo and Ebizo in front of him with some confusion. He had just returned from collecting gold sand when he heard the two elders of the Sand Village coming to propose strengthening the investigation. As for the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who had been checked and balanced by the two elders of the Sand Village in the past and had some resentment in his heart, it was naturally impossible for him to agree immediately. Instead, he appeared to be very calm.
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa responded to the establishment of the Ninja Alliance with a nonchalant attitude. After all, except for the inexplicable battle between the Mist Village and the Sand Village during the Third Ninja World War, the Mist Village had either stayed overseas or simply launched attacks on the richer places in the Ninja World.
Especially for the Fourth Kazekage Rasa himself, he did not think that the Ninja Alliance would have any plans against the poor Sand Village and the Wind Kingdom. If a war really were to be launched, the wealthy Fire Kingdom or the Earth Kingdom would be much more suitable than the impoverished Wind Kingdom!
"Lord Kazekage, we must be on guard against a possible surprise attack from the Ninja Alliance. After all, they did just that during the last Ninja World War!"
After hearing what the Fourth Kazekage Rasa said, Chiyo, who was secretly resisted, was in a difficult position to speak. Ebizo, who was better at communicating with the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, took the initiative to speak. On the one hand, he used a high-sounding excuse to smooth things over, and on the other hand, he explained to the Fourth Kazekage Rasa very naturally: "In addition, the daimyo has agreed to restore the funding for the Sand Village to normal, and to provide an additional funding for this matter..."
Well, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind is not a fool. He had been holding up the financial allocations for the Sand Village and cutting a lot of them. He was simply trying to suppress the Sand Village or even make it bow its head, and then use other methods step by step to try to truly take the Sand Village into his hands.
Even if the Sand Village felt quite dissatisfied, the Daimyo of Wind Country did not cut the other party's funding for no reason. After all, the Sand Village lost so miserably in the Third Ninja World War. If they had not taken advantage of the fierce battle between Konoha Village and several other major ninja villages to reach a peace agreement with Konoha Village and withdraw, they would have really shed their last drop of blood. It was normal for the Daimyo of Wind Country to cut their funding for this reason.
——As for the original anime plot line of "Naruto", the Sand Village did not choose to surrender to the Daimyo of the Wind Country who cut their own funds, or choose to punish the traitors again. Instead, they joined forces with the Sound Village led by Orochimaru and chose to fight one last time, trying to bring down Konoha Village and regain enough funds. Unfortunately, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa's plan had not yet been realized. He was attacked and killed on the way to Konoha Village. Orochimaru disguised him and went on stage to perform.
Of course, when Orochimaru planned the collapse of Konoha in the original "Naruto" and was preparing to send his teacher, the Third Hokage who had become an old and immortal thief, to death, he did not expect that the Third Hokage would give him a fierce counterattack before his death, and Orochimaru was almost taken away by the Grim Reaper summoned by the [Shiki Sealing Technique]. The Sand Village suffered a huge loss and paid a considerable price to barely get through.
At this time, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa did not think that far. He was certainly very dissatisfied with the Daimyo of the Wind Country, but the other party had noticed the threat posed by the Ninja Alliance and became generous. He naturally accepted this kindness and agreed:
"Well, then we should send some spies disguised as merchants to check out the situation of the Ninja Alliance. Our maritime trade is in their hands!"
……
On the other side, the front line between Konoha Village and Kumogakure is located in a secret place on the front line of both sides. The Third Hokage, Danzo Shimura, Hiashi Hyuga and other high-ranking Konoha figures meet with the Fourth Raikage, Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee and other high-ranking Kumogakure figures on the opposite side to discuss the relevant conditions for both sides to reach a peace.
Well, you said that in the past few months and even in the past few years, the two major ninja villages have been fighting each other to the death and lost many ninjas. Many relatives and friends have died at each other's hands. Why are you thinking of shaking hands and making peace?
This question is very simple. Although Konoha Village and Kumogami Village still retain a certain amount of combat power that has not been pushed to the front line, the situation of the two major ninja villages is actually not very good. It can be said that they have suffered heavy losses and have to consider peace talks and a ceasefire.
There is no need to explain the situation in Konoha Village. The Third Ninja World War, the Nine-Tails Rebellion and the long war in the Cloud Village have caused Konoha Village, once the leader of the five major ninja villages, to lose too many outstanding ninjas. To use an exaggerated adjective, the total number of ninjas in Konoha Village before the Third Ninja World War was almost replaced. Faced with the terrible situation that might continue to bleed, Konoha Village had to consider a ceasefire with the Cloud Village.
Compared to the severely injured Konoha Village, the situation of the Cloud Village, which was actually even weaker, was not much better. In the Third Ninja World War, the Third Raikage of the Cloud Village was killed, and the number of Cloud Ninjas killed was not a small number. Moreover, they had been fighting a tangle of wars with the Konoha Village for several years, and coupled with the continuous small-scale fighting in the past few months, it can be said that the Cloud Village was also about to reach its limit. If the fight continued, it would not be possible to decide the outcome with Konoha, and it was very likely that the two major ninja villages would perish together.
After all, Konoha Village and Kumo Village are not without enemies in the Ninja World. Not to mention the Ninja Alliance that has just emerged, which seems very dangerous. There is also the Iwagakure that is watching the battle and is ready to make a move, the Sand Village that is low-key and recognizes Konoha Village as its boss, the Rain Village that showed its extraordinaryness in the Second Ninja World War, and even those small ninja villages that don't seem to care much, if the two major ninja villages are defeated, they will never let go.
It was precisely because of these external factors that, after fighting for several months and suffering thousands of casualties, the Konoha Village, which had calmed down, and the Cloud Village, which had not gained any advantage, had gone through several rounds of discussions in secret and are now preparing to reach a real peace agreement!
"Huh! You guys in Konoha are really stingy. You only gave me this little bit!"
Seeing that Konoha Village took out the document of the peace agreement, the Fourth Raikage, who was obviously still injured, was a little dissatisfied. He looked with some fear at the Third Hokage, who was originally thought to be too old to fight, but still behaved like a reckless man, and was dissatisfied with the fact that the Cloud Ninja had obtained too little benefit.
"Fourth Raikage, don't be so greedy. Allowing your Kumogakure to obtain half of the mission share of the River Country, Hot Spring Country, and Sound Country, plus a compensation of 10 million ryo, is already very good. If it is more, it is definitely not a price we are willing to bear!"
Hearing the greedy words of the Fourth Raikage, the Third Hokage, who had experienced the tyrannical style of the Cloud Village many times before, had a gloomy face. However, he did not directly confront the other party. He directly refuted the other party's words, and then looked at the Fourth Raikage and a group of Cloud Ninja elites, and said in a very unfriendly tone: "I don't think you want Konoha Village to fight you to the death, and then let the Rock Village, the Ninja Alliance and even the Sand Village win the result..."
At this time, the Third Hokage would not retreat either. He had been fighting with the Kumogakure Village until now because he could not suppress the pro-war faction in Konoha Village due to the abduction of the Hyuga family's eldest daughter. He was originally in a difficult situation, but the birth of the Ninja World Alliance and the reality of increasing casualties gave him a suitable excuse to cease fire.
In any case, Konoha Village, as the leader of the original five major ninja villages, has already faced too much hostility from other ninja villages. If it were only Konoha Village and Kumo Village, the two sides would probably have to fight to decide the winner. However, now there are not only Konoha Village and Kumo Village in the ninja world, but also Iwagakure, Sand Village, and Rain Village. Even the original Mist Village has become a more powerful Ninja Alliance. It is not wise for Konoha Village to fight with Kumo Village to the end. Even Hyuga Hiashi, who is the victim, has to accept this fact.
However, it was impossible for the Third Hokage to make any big concessions in the peace talks between Konoha Village and Kumogakure. After all, it was not only Konoha Village that was threatened. The Kumogakure, which had been arrogant and domineering in the past, had enemies all over the ninja world. The half mission share he could allocate to the three small countries affiliated with the Land of Fire, plus the symbolic compensation of 10 million taels, was already the limit that Konoha Village could accept.
At the very least, the Third Hokage, after experiencing several months of fighting, also realized that the Cloud Village was almost reaching its limit. So now, either both sides shake hands and make peace and lick their wounds, or they continue to fight, and no one will benefit!
"Tsk~! Then let's sign a peace agreement!"
Faced with the Third Hokage's stubborn attitude, the formation of the Ninja World Alliance and the intrigue of other opponents, the Fourth Raikage, who knew that the Cloud Village was also about to be defeated, had no choice but to agree reluctantly. The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief, and he and the Fourth Raikage signed their names on the peace agreement and stamped their respective shadow seals on it, symbolizing that Konoha Village and Cloud Village had finally ended this long war.
At this time, whether it was Konoha Village or Kumogakure, they tacitly did not mention the situation of the Hyuga family's daughter and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. They knew that even if the opponent might have done such a thing, there was no way to pursue it openly when there was no real evidence and they could not defeat the opponent!
……
"The Hidden Leaf Village and the Kumogakure Village are about to cease fire. What a pity..."
In the Tsuchikage building of the Iwagakure, the Third Tsuchikage, who was looking at a little old man, received the information sent back by the spies he had arranged. He felt a little regretful but then put this emotion aside and thought very seriously about what the next step of the Iwagakure should be.
Compared to the three major countries and three major ninja villages that were directly facing the threat of the newly established Shinobi Alliance in the coastal areas, the environment of the Land of Earth was indeed full of hills and mountains, but the inability to participate in such a highly profitable business as maritime trade in the past has now become one of the advantages of the Land of Earth. At least the Third Tsuchikage does not have to consider how to face the threat of the Shinobi Alliance. If he has to consider that, it will be the affairs of the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning.
In comparison, the Third Tsuchikage was more concerned about the truce between Konoha Village and Kumo Village. No one would be stupid enough to leak such an important matter in advance, but Iwagakure, one of the five major ninja villages, had its own way. They observed the fighting situation of both sides through spies and secret agents, and found that for more than half a month, there had been no first-level battles involving more than a hundred ninjas in Konoha Village and Kumogakure. The Third Tsuchikage, who was old and clever, guessed the general situation.
Unfortunately, the Third Tsuchikage guessed that Konoha Village and Kumo Village might hold peace talks in the near future, but he had no way to stop the ceasefire intention of both sides. The Iwagakure also suffered heavy losses after the Third Ninja World War. Preparing to provoke a fight with the two big ninja villages now is definitely not something a smart person would want to do. The Third Tsuchikage is not a reckless man, so he naturally would not think that he could defeat the two big ninja villages in one wave.
The establishment of the Ninja World Alliance has directly changed the current behavior of the four major ninja villages in the Ninja World. They are not prepared to fight large-scale battles again, which will give the Ninja World Alliance that may be overseas an advantage. They have all taken certain precautions and reconnaissance actions in advance!
Chapter 47 Li Mo's Opinion
Naturally, the changes in the four major ninja villages in the ninja world, such as the ceasefire or alert, were reported to Li Mo by the hidden shadow soldiers. He also did not think there was anything strange about the impact brought about by his establishment of the Ninja World Alliance.
After all, the world of Naruto is not a stand-alone game, and the ninjas are not the kind of NPCs with fixed lines and tasks. They have their own opinions and considerations when encountering things. For example, when Li Mo took away Scorch Release Hagura, the Sand Village, which got the news, announced her as a traitor as quickly as possible, and even Scorch Release Hagura's former subordinates were purged. This shows the decisiveness and ruthlessness of the ninjas.
Similarly, when Orochimaru rebelled against Konoha, his subordinates in Konoha Village were all implicated. For example, Mitarashi Anko was frozen out of luck, as the connections of her parents' generation played a big role (otherwise she would not have had the opportunity to become a disciple of Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas). Except for a few hidden players, most of Orochimaru's other subordinates were sent to the front line of the Tongkumo Ninja Village for consumption, or were directly recruited by Shimura Danzo into his own Root.
In this case, the four major ninja villages in the Ninja World continent naturally responded with vigilance to the obviously strengthened Ninja World Alliance and even made different responses. Even the four major countries in the Ninja World made certain reactions and did not choose an indifferent and spectatory attitude.
At least, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind is still quite proactive. He knows that this is not the time to suppress the Sand Village. He wants to increase the level of vigilance against the Ninja Alliance because the Ninja Alliance is not the scope of a single country. As a Daimyo, his sensitivity in this regard is much higher than that of a ninja.
In comparison, the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning reacted lukewarmly. The former was simply too superstitious about the strength of Konoha Village. In addition, the current daimyo of the Land of Fire was not as good as his father and even came up with the "Double Jade Theory". As a result, he fell seriously ill and died. The new daimyo of the Land of Fire had some guesses in his mind, but would never show them openly. However, his support for Konoha Village could only be said to be average, and he would not deliberately reduce it nor increase it rashly.
Compared to the situation where the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning keeps his distance from Konoha Village, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is very supportive of the Cloud Village. The strength of his support is firmly ranked first among the five major ninja villages. It can be said that it is unlikely that the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning will increase his support for the Cloud Village. Both from the perspective of the Land of Lightning's own strength and from the considerations of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning himself, he is almost willing to sell his kidneys to support the Cloud Village.
The reactions of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth and the Iwagakure were relatively normal, or rather, since they were located deep in the interior of the Ninja World, they had to consider the situations of several good neighbors around them if they wanted to make a response. In addition, the distance between them and the Ninja Alliance was too far, so the Third Tsuchikage simply conducted reconnaissance on the Ninja Alliance, adding spies and financial investment.
On the contrary, other small ninja villages and small countries in the ninja world, except for a few small coastal countries' daimyos and nobles who strengthened their ties with the Ninja Alliance, the other small ninja villages and small countries just lay down. Anyway, they can't defeat any of the five major ninja villages!
………………
"Tsk, Konoha Village and Kumogakure have indeed chosen to cease fire. Sand Village, Iwagakure, Konoha Village, and Kumogakure have all chosen to strengthen their intelligence gathering. It seems that the establishment of the Ninja Alliance has indeed stimulated them. Fortunately, we don't have to worry about being surrounded and beaten for the time being..."
In the administrative district of the Ninja Alliance located in the Land of Water, Li Mo looked at the stack of intelligence documents brought up by the shadow soldiers and said with some emotion.
If Li Mo were to follow his own ideas, he would wish that Konoha Village and Kumo Village would perish together, and Sand Village and Iwagakure would become like turtles and not move at all. He would wait until he completed the integration of the Ninja Alliance and then easily take over the entire Ninja World.
Unfortunately, Li Mo's idea was just an idea, he was not one of those Showa staff officers who deceived themselves. The reactions of the other four major ninja villages and the four major countries were equally sharp. Even the Wind Country, which believed that the Ninja Alliance was unlikely to attack itself, the Daimyo of the Wind Country was watching the Mist Village shrouded in blood mist turn into the more powerful Ninja Alliance with great vigilance, not to mention the Fire Country and the Lightning Country.
Especially the richest Fire Nation, it has been surrounded and beaten in three consecutive Ninja World Wars, and it has almost developed a conditioned reflex. Even if the Ninja Alliance has not shown any unfriendly attitude, it can't feel at ease with its powerful neighbors!
"Assault the Ninja Alliance? That would require the four major ninja villages to put aside their grudges and find a huge benefit that would be enough for them to join forces and go on an expedition across the sea together!"
Hearing her man's words, Mei Terumi, who had just come in with Scorch Release Yegura, curled her lips. She sat down on the sofa without any image at all, and lazily tasted the tropical fruits on display, but she didn't care about the so-called beating.
joke!
Except for the psychopaths and ambitious people in the Fourth Ninja World War, other ninja villages in the ninja world actually had their own goals when they went to war. For example, the Fire Nation and Konoha Village were repeatedly besieged because Konoha Village was too strong and the land of the Fire Nation was the richest.
Let’s change to the poor Sand Village. Have you ever seen Konoha Village and other ninja villages thinking of launching an attack on it?
In fact, no one in the Ninja World was interested in attacking the Kingdom of Wind. That area of sand and Gobi occupied 90% of the country's land area, and only a few oases and a few coastal ports were considered densely populated areas. Even the Mist Village in the Third Ninja World War was heading for the ports of the Kingdom of Wind instead of choosing to attack the desert.
Just like the world before Li Mo traveled through, before the rich oil resources were discovered in the Middle East desert area, even several colonial empires had no interest in ruling it. At that time, apart from camels and dates, there were no precious resources at all. The situation in the Kingdom of Wind was the same. Without the discovery of resources like oil, the Kingdom of Wind would be considered a poor and impoverished place compared to other countries in the Ninja World. Most of the area was covered with useless sand, and few people would care about it at all.
Similarly, the Mist Village and the Land of Water were previously isolated overseas, and also had no fertile land or resources that attracted attention. Although their environment and population were much stronger than those of the Land of Wind, it was definitely not worth it for a big country to devote all its efforts to building a fleet and allowing a large ninja village to send out its elite ninja troops to fight a life-and-death battle with the Mist Village, which had the geographical advantage. This is why the Mist Village could retreat to recuperate even if it lost on the battlefield.
Now, the Mist Village and the Land of Water have become a thing of the past, and the newly formed Ninja Alliance has become even more powerful. Terumi Mei thinks that with her position as those daimyo and Kage, it would be difficult for them to join forces and declare war on the Ninja Alliance!
"Those ninja villages and countries may not necessarily join forces to fight against the Ninja Alliance now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future. It's better for us to take the initiative!"
Li Mo nodded slightly to Mei Terumi's words but did not fully agree with them. Instead, he pointed out that the Ninja Alliance had just been established, so naturally it would not be the case that the daimyo and ninja villages would join forces to fight the enemy. However, considering that he would develop and expand the Ninja Alliance and even carry out institutional reforms, he would undoubtedly be in a hostile lineup. Instead of fighting, it would be better to gain the upper hand now and expand his advantage.
"Mo, what do you mean?"
Facing her man's words, Terumi Mei, who had learned a lot of political common sense and military knowledge, seemed to understand what Li Mo was implying. However, she was not sure of her guess. She looked at her man hesitantly and asked in a low voice.
