Naruto Neji: I can see chakra!

Chapter 211: The Kumagai Clan Conspiracy

Finally, Kumagai Masakazu could not help but speak: "Master! Although Konoha Village did experience a great setback as you said, it is still the leader of the five major ninja villages in the entire ninja world, isn't it? Although the Sandaime Hokage died unexpectedly, didn't the Sand Village's Fourth Kazekage, who was the instigator of the war, also die? Moreover, even in an emergency, Konoha Village still defeated the joint attack of many allied ninja villages, including the Otogakure Village and the Sand Village. In this case, doesn't it mean that Konoha Village is still the strongest ninja village?"

Taro Kumagai tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his face as if frosted, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what the situation is, our Kumagai family has reached a bottleneck, and this is what we have to do. What I mean is: in the development of the Land of Fire, our family has reached the top. There are other lords or local officials who have close ties with some big ninja clans governing around us. Our Kumagai clan can't continue to expand and grow around us. It has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the ancestral foundation remains unchanged."

Scratch——

A map of the ninja world was taken out, with most of it blurred, but with a detailed depiction of Area 36 of the Land of Fire, which borders the Land of Grass and the Land of Taki.

After seeing this map, especially the fertile areas surrounding his own territory, Kumakotarou's eyes seemed to ignite a fire of desire called ambition!

This is the flame of greed.

His voice gradually became louder, as if the louder it was, the more persuasive it was.

"The ninjas of Iwagakure have made a promise to me! They will send troops to capture the Grass Country in the next month. Then they will hand over half of the Grass Country's territory to my Kumagai clan for rule! They only require us to pay a fixed amount of taxes every year as per convention."

After hearing this, Masakazu Kumagai opened his mouth but could not say anything.

Half of the Grass Kingdom, and the Grass Kingdom is not a barren country like the Wind Kingdom. As the name suggests, most of its territory is endless prairie with lush grass and water, and extremely developed animal husbandry!

Taxes are, of course, also eye-watering.

You know, many small countries, due to their poor population and economy, are only managed by a daimyo in the secular world, and they cannot even afford the world's most powerful violent organization - the ninja village.

However, the Land of Grass has its own ninja village!

Moreover, even the powerful jonin have more than one palm count!

It is a terrifying existence that the Kumagai clan dare not provoke at all.

However, the Iwagakure Village was willing to pay a price and sacrifice the generosity of others in exchange for the surrender of the Kumagai clan.

Half of the Grass Country, this is the promise that Iwagakure Village made to the Kumagaya clan.

Why did the Iwagakure Village seek out the Kumagai clan to recruit and instigate rebellion?

First of all, of course, it’s because the ancestors of the Kumagai clan were powerful, the territory they passed down was of high strategic value, and the geographical location of Ka was a particularly strategic place.

It is located right at the junction of the Land of Grass, the Land of Water Trap, and the Land of Fire, and is the most powerful family among the surrounding local lord families. What's more, it is even closer to the Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth than the Kumagai clan is to Konoha Village and Kyoto in the Land of Fire.

There is no way, it is really on the border~~~

Under the leadership of the Third Tsuchikage, Nendoroid Ōnoki, the Iwagakure Village is striving for progress and is eyeing the land resources of all the surrounding countries!

They look like eagles and wolfs, and do not conceal their ambitions.

To strike now is to take advantage of the Konoha Village's weakness and strike hard!

The Sandaime Hokage died, and the Fourth Hokage died more than ten years ago.

Especially the Fourth Hokage, who was once powerful enough to suppress everyone in the Iwagakure Village except the Third Tsuchikage, Ninjago Ōnoki.

Including two Jinchūriki who are second to none in terms of strength.

Under the attack of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, the Iwagakure Village did not even dare to send ninja troops smaller than the legion level to fight on the front line!

One person, overwhelms the entire village!

But now Konoha Village is at its lowest point in strength. If Iwagakure Village does not take advantage of this opportunity to expand and send troops, if after a few years, Konoha Village, which has the most abundant resources in the entire ninja world, recovers its vitality, the situation of Iwagakure Village will be bad.

All ninja villages except Konoha Village are worried about being invaded and attacked by Konoha Village.

Therefore, the Iwagakure Village wants to launch a war immediately!

However, in every Ninja World War, one must have a legitimate reason to fight and never send troops rashly.

First of all, there is no morality.

Secondly, and most importantly: there is no way to explain to the daimyo.

On the surface, the daimyo is the supreme leader of the country.

Without the financial subsidies from the daimyo, the ninjas who do not produce anything and whose minds are filled with only fighting and killing will not have enough talent to govern the vast ninja country and generate healthy economic development.

As for why, why didn’t the ninja village simply eliminate the daimyo and rule the country or even the entire ninja world themselves?

That’s because: the ninja village’s system was established only a few decades ago, and before that it was in the clan stage for nearly a thousand years.

In other words, the ninjas at that time - even except for the Uchiha clan or the Senju clan, which were the top clans in the ninja world, because these two ninja clans were large and powerful, with a large population, one clan could actually establish a country.

The population and industries of all other ninja families are not particularly large.

Therefore, once a family wants to subvert the rules of the entire ninja world and make ninjas the real rulers rather than just their own family, it will undoubtedly be besieged by a large number of other ninja clans whose key mental concepts have not been able to change in time - with the big and famous families who feel their status is threatened spending a lot of money as a driving force.

Those daimyos who felt that their status was threatened paid large sums of money to hire other ninja clans to come and suppress the rebellious officials.

The reality is that, apart from the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan, it is difficult for other ninja clans to withstand this situation where they are enemies all over the world.

But now the situation is a little different: now many ninja clans and even civilian ninjas have gathered together to form a ninja village, and the number of ninjas that can be mobilized and commanded has greatly increased.

In this case, it is actually possible to achieve what the ninja predecessors have not done in the past thousand years: directly kill the daimyo and become the master of the world yourself!

It’s just that many people still can’t change their mindset and are still afraid of this and that.

After all, chakra is not something that has existed in this world since ancient times. In the past, it was a purely mortal society.

There may be beings that can utilize magical energy, but they are almost impossible to detect.

But thousands of years ago, the Otsutsuki clan came into the world and brought chakra, which gave rise to the profession of ninja.
