Naruto Millennium Building Blocks

Speaking of the country of Sichuan, it is a small country sandwiched between the two big countries, the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind.

The small here does not mean that the country of Sichuan is small, but that the country of Sichuan is too weak.

In fact, in terms of land area alone, the Kingdom of Sichuan is one of the best among many small neutral countries, and it is even much larger than the Kingdom of Water.

But there is no ninja village in the Kingdom of Kawa, nor does it have a strong group of samurai like the Kingdom of Iron.

The country of Kawakawa only has an army formed by ordinary people, some samurai troops directly under the daimyo, and a small number of hired wandering ninjas.This is almost all the fighting power of the Kingdom of Sichuan, and the rest is just some generals or private soldiers of big families.

Basically, as long as it is a country with a ninja village, it can fall into the country of Dachuan.

However, although the country of Sichuan is weak in national power, it is not considered barren.

The country of Sichuan is located between the country of fire and the country of wind. Its forest coverage gradually decreases from east to west.In other words, the land closer to the Kingdom of Wind will be more barren, and the land closer to the Kingdom of Fire will be more fertile.

The area to the north of Kawa no Kuni, close to the Country of Rain, has abundant rainfall, while the south is close to the sea and has rich fishery resources.In addition, there is a large river running through the country from north to south in Kawa no Kuni. Its abundant water volume also provides relatively abundant water resources for the country's agriculture.

And this big river is called the River of Sichuan, which is also the origin of the name of the country of Sawa.

And what’s interesting is that the River of Sichuan divides the Country of Sichuan into two areas with widely different environments.That is to say, the east coast is more green, while the west coast is a semi-Gobi area with only a few crooked neck trees.

In addition, Yujuro is in the eastern area with more forests and closer to the Land of Fire.This is a relatively affluent place, and it is thanks to this that Yujuro and Sachiko were able to grow up smoothly during the war years.

And as for why there is no ninja village in Kawano Country?

It may be because when the first Hokage first created the "one country, one village" system, the daimyo of Kawa no Kuni at that time were unwilling to spend money to build a shinobi village belonging to Kawa no Kuni due to relatively short-sighted reasons.

Then as time went by, by the time a certain generation of daimyo in the Kawa Country realized the importance of Ninja Village, it was too late.

Because so many years have passed, the main ninja families in the ninja world have been divided among the major ninja villages.In other words, there are no more ninja families in the field for Kawakuni to drive.

In addition, the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind, which have become stronger, do not want the Kingdom of Sichuan as a buffer zone to have strong military force.

Therefore, due to the interference of various reasons, the ninja village in the Kingdom of Kawa was never established.

It is precisely for this reason that in the just-concluded Second Ninja War, what else can the Kawakuni do except strictly maintain neutrality and allow ninjas from other countries to pass through the Kawakuni's territory at will?

But even so, Sichuan Country is still being targeted.

The one who is eyeing the Kingdom of Sichuan is none other than the powerful country to the west of it, the Kingdom of Wind.

This is because although the Kawa Country is weak, it is not a very wealthy country with abundant resources.But this lack of wealth and resources is only relative to the Kingdom of Fire. Compared to the Kingdom of Wind, the Kingdom of Sichuan can be regarded as a rich country.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. The land of the Country of Wind is either desert or next door. Apart from a few oases, there are not many areas with products.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Wind, which was short of products, set its sights on the Kingdom of Sichuan.Unlike the Fire Nation, which has a big family and big business, it doesn't care about the Sichuan Nation's output at all.

But why doesn’t the Kingdom of Sichuan set its sights on other countries?

  That's because to the north of the Kingdom of Wind, the few small countries that serve as buffer zones with the Kingdom of Earth are almost a place where birds don't shit, and there is no value in invading them at all.

In addition to the Kingdom of Sichuan, among the countries adjacent to the Kingdom of Wind, only the Kingdom of Rain is worthy of being invaded.

And if they really capture the Kingdom of Rain, they can use the abundant rainfall in the Kingdom of Rain to dig a canal across the Kingdom of Wind to the sea in the south.At that time, the barren land in the Kingdom of Wind will be nourished to a certain extent, thereby improving the livelihood of the poor people.

But who told the Rain Country to have the powerful Rain Ninja Village and Hanzo, who was given the nickname of Demigod?

In addition, the Kingdom of Rain is a common buffer zone between the three great kingdoms of Fire, Wind, and Earth, so this is a very sensitive area.Therefore, the Kingdom of Wind cannot act rashly, and then the Kingdom of Sichuan will be unlucky.

In this way, after the failure of the Second Ninja World War in the Wind Country, it was decided to cannibalize or puppet the Kawa Country to make up for the losses caused by the defeat.

This task was entrusted to the Suna Ninja Village by the Daimyo of the Country of Wind.

Then, after discussion with Granny Chiyo, the Third Kazekage from Sand Ninja Village who was known as the strongest in history, they felt that it was impossible to directly invade the territory of Kawa no Kuni.Because the Fire Nation will definitely interfere, and it is not a very good idea to have the two major countries directly bordering each other.

Therefore, the Third Kazekage decided to implement puppet rule over the Kingdom of Kawakawa, and before implementing puppet rule, it was necessary to find a person suitable to become a puppet daimyo.And this candidate is His Highness the Second Highness of the Daimyo of Kawano Country.

This second highness is the only son of the current daimyo lady of Kawanogoku, so she has always wanted her daimyo husband to depose the highness born to her previous daimyo lady and make her son the daimyo heir.

But although the daimyo of Kawano Country loves his current wife very much, he is also a person who abides by etiquette and is not willing to do this kind of thing of abolishing the elder and establishing the young.In addition, there are many forces in the country of Kawawa that support His Highness, so the ambition of this daimyo lady has been delayed.

Therefore, the Third Kazekage decided to send someone to contact the daimyo lady and told her that Suna Ninja Village would be the strong backing for her son to inherit the position of daimyo of Kawano Country.Even if necessary, their Sand Ninja Village can send some ninjas to help them carry out a military coup.

It was for this reason that the Highness of the Kingdom of Kawa was hunted down while out hunting today.

His Royal Highness's originally large bodyguards were repelled by the manpower deployed by the Daimyo Madam because of the attack by the ninjas from Sand Ninja Village.His Highness was able to break through the tight siege only under the desperate protection of everyone.

But after seeing the ninjas joining, His Highness and his guards also knew that they could not return to the capital. The daimyo's wife might have led someone to kill the old daimyo and support her son to inherit the daimyo's position.

That's why they ran all the way to Konoha to ask for help, but they were overtaken by the pursuers sent by the Daimyo Lady.

In addition, what they didn't know was that their successful breakout was actually due to Suna Ninja Village deliberately letting them go.

This is because the people of Sand Ninja Village want to capture the Highness alive and use this as a basis to force the newly succeeded Second Highness to obey the orders of the Kingdom of Wind.

At that time, although it was impossible to seize all the resources of the Kingdom of Sichuan, it would still be easy to order the Kingdom of Sichuan to transport some food and bear some of the military expenses of the Sand Ninja Village.

So when the samurai sent by Lady Daimyo wanted to return to His Highness, the ninja from Sand Ninja Village would certainly not agree.

As for why he didn't kill these warriors to silence them, it was because it was unnecessary.Anyway, His Highness, who will succeed to the throne, will know the whereabouts of his half-brother when the time comes, so why bother killing these people?

What neither the ninja nor the samurai expected was the intervention of a third party.
