Kirigakure.
Isolated overseas, it is also a village with many ninja families.
A special meeting was held to warn him about Hiruzen Sarutobi's matter.
I can't turn into that weird person in Konohagakure and cause a quarrel.
The conflicts among the families in Kirigakure are even greater than those in Konohagakure.
The Hozuki clan, the Kaguya clan, and many other powerful Kekkei Genkai families.
Finally, a consensus was reached.
They are still digesting the results of the war in Uzushiogakure, so there is no need for them to join the war now.
When other countries are both suffering losses, they enter the market and profit.
…
Iwagakure.
Ōnoki mocked Hiruzen Sarutobi harshly.
Spreading the results of his battle with Hiruzen Sarutobi, he defeated Hiruzen Sarutobi with Dust Release.
Enhance his reputation.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi is trying to fuse three, or even five, chakra attributes to create a Kekkei Genkai that surpasses Dust Release.]
Iwagakure maintained overall military restraint.
No ninja army appeared on the battlefield.
But whoever can survive the Fourth Ninja War will always reap the benefits.
In the past few years, the pressure that the Third Raikage has put on Iwagakure has far exceeded that of Hiruzen Sarutobi, his defeated opponent.
Also guarding Kirigakure.
His teacher, the second Hokage, Mu, died together with the second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, during the First Shinobi World War.
There is also hatred between the two villages.
…
Three days later.
The Senju clan arrives at the battlefield in Land of Fields.
At this time, the strength of the Senju clan has been enhanced.
Nawaki Senju used the characteristics of the Bloodline Replenishment System to separate all the materials in his hands and integrate them all into the bodies of the Senju clan ninjas to complete and enhance their qualifications.
After some operations, the number of Jōnin of the Senju clan reached thirty and the number of Chūnin reached more than one hundred.
It's a pity that he was afraid of Madara Uchiha and did not continue to help others awaken Mokuton, but it is enough for the time being.
This is the number of troops from the Senju clan that arrived at the Land of Rice Fields this time.
The headquarters of the Senju clan.
The buildings built by Dōma Senju using Mokuton are particularly useful.
In the very center was a large conference room that could just accommodate over thirty Jōnin of the Senju clan.
Nawaki Senju sat in the main seat, with two huge maps behind him.
One is a map of the Ninja World, and the other is a detailed map of the Land of Rice Fields.
Everyone on the field had a grim look on their faces and could explode at any time, except Senju Nawaki, who used the index finger transformed by the wooden man technique to knock on the table, but no sound was made.
"It's outrageous that the Daimyō of Land of Fields didn't come in person, but only sent a small diplomat."
Senju Dōma's face was full of anger, as if he had been insulted, and there was a flash of embarrassment.
In the past, he came alone to convey the orders of the Senju clan, and the daimyo of Land of Fields would also accompany him with a shameless face.
Now their clan leader Nawaki Senju has arrived, but the daimyo of Land of Fields did not come to greet him.
They had already anticipated Land of Fields' attitude and were still angry.
According to the agreement between the Land of Fields and the Senju clan, they will prepare half of the food and the Senju clan will dispose of it.
This is the reward for the Senju clan improving the land and environment for them.
The Senju clan will also give half of the profits from selling grain to the Land of Rice Fields.
This is equivalent to taking away nearly 30% of the food.
Now, Land of Fields betrays this alliance.
"Chief, according to the intelligence we collected.
The Daimyō of the Land of Rice Fields, who is accompanying the envoy from Konohagakure, is actually a ninja from the Sarutobi clan and the Ino–Shika–Chō clan.
A deal has been reached: 70% of this year's grain will be sold to Konohagakure at a low price."
Senju Sato narrowed his eyes and replied in a low voice.
He also felt disdain for what the Daimyō of the Land of Rice Fields did.
The former Land of Fields was able to achieve its current success under the protection of the Senju clan.
But now they are biting back, not even giving the Senju clan the most basic decency. At this time, they are stabbing the Senju clan in the back and offering their loyalty to the Sarutobi clan.
He originally wanted to plead for Land of Fields, but gave up the idea.
"When a dog has a new owner, it will bite the old one."
Nawaki shook his head, his eyes full of fierceness.
Everyone on the field felt a chill sweep through their bodies.
He couldn't help but sit up straight, stop talking, and listen to Nawaki Senju's orders.
"The grain of the Land of Rice Fields has six major producing areas, not for the sake of food, but to establish prestige.
The ninjas stationed in Konohagakure in six locations will focus on attacking the ninjas of the Ino–Shika–Chō family this time."
Nawaki Senju straightened his expression and gave an order.
On the huge map of the Land of Rice Fields, the area of the granary was marked with a huge cross.
The order given was a bit strange, focusing on attacking the ninjas of the Ino–Shika–Chō family rather than the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan.
On the one hand, it alienates the relationship between the two parties.
On the other hand, the corpses of the Ino–Shika–Chō family ninjas can be used to extract relatively single and precious chakra attribute groups, which is beneficial to the growth of the Senju clan.
Since you want to be a lackey of the Sarutobi clan, you have to bear the price.
"Chief, where is the food? Should we bring it back?" Dōma Senju asked.
In the eyes of the older generation, food is the most important resource.
"No need. Destroy it on the spot. The less food there is, the more influence the Senju clan will have."
Nawaki Senju shook his head.
Scarcity is an important attribute of food.
"yes!"
"…"
There was doubt in the eyes of some ninjas, but they carried out Nawaki Senju's orders without hesitation.
All the ninjas in the Senju camp began to organize their equipment and let the Land of Fields know the price of betraying the Senju clan.
No one can protect the Land of Fields who betrayed the Senju clan and took away the food belonging to the Senju clan.
…
One day later.
The six major grain-producing areas of the Land of Rice Fields were destroyed one after another.
All the food that was to be handed over to Konohagakure was burned.
The Sarutobi clan and the Ino–Shika–Chō clan reacted quickly, gathering the remaining food and preparing to transport it to Konohagakure.
These grains were originally reserved for the Land of Land of Fields, but were plundered by Konohagakure.
The daimyo and people of the Land of Rice Fields had only a small amount of food left and would have to tighten their belts for the next year. This was the price of joining the Sarutobi family, and they felt extremely bitter.
Feeling regretful is of no use. Once you're on the pirate ship, you can only go down this path until the end.
Still worried about the revenge of the Senju clan, is it really that simple?
