Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down

Massacre!

After Terumi Mei gave the order, the mist ninjas started killing like crazy.

The number of rebel Mist ninjas is actually not that many, but more of them are noble private armies, hired ninjas, etc.

So it's natural to not feel heartbroken when you kill him.

Blood dyed the sea red, and corpses covered the earth.

The battle ended half an hour later.

With Terumi Mei and Yu Gao joining forces, one of them is an invincible Jinchuuriki, so there will be no surprises during the battle.

With Qing's presence, these rebel ninja troops have nowhere to hide.

In the end, the number of people who can escape from New Kirigakure Village will not exceed three digits.

Even those people didn't mean they could survive the follow-up pursuit by the ANBU hunting team.

But it’s not like there are really no survivors.

Tetsuya Tanaka!

This jounin who was loyal to the nobles had his chakra sealed and his movements restricted with ninja tools.

Wow!

Arriving in front of the other party in the drizzle, Terumi Mei first nodded gently to Yu Gao on the side to show his goodwill, and then asked curiously.

"Tell me, if you want to occupy New Kirigakure Village, aren't you afraid of the castle tower?"

She really wanted to know what the other person was thinking.

Even if we take the opportunity to move a few troops away and occupy the village, it doesn't mean that we can hold it, right? .

If you really think that they and the castle tower are dead, you will tolerate them occupying the village.

"With Master Gen's presence, we can temporarily stabilize the situation, and then support him, the Mizukage, to take over, and then contact other ninja villages to 'purge' the traitors...!"

Tanaka Tetsuya answered honestly.

It's not that he is weak, but because he is a ninja himself, and of course he knows how good ninjas are at interrogation. Therefore, unless there are any special means, the best option if you fall into the hands of the other party is to confess honestly.

"Sure enough, it's the style of those guys. All the hard work is left to others. They just need to stay behind the scenes and enjoy the fruits of victory!"

Terumi Mei murmured to herself, and at the same time a kunai appeared in her hand.

Poof!

It pierced the opponent's heart cleanly.

Tanaka Tetsuya was not surprised by this outcome, nor did he beg for mercy.

Because he gave such a clean explanation, he also had a desire to die.

After the mission fails, he will definitely be pushed out by the nobles as a scapegoat and shield. If he surrenders, his tribe will definitely not survive, so the only outcome is death.

As for the information he confessed, it is not a secret at all, as long as you investigate it, you will know it.

"Take care of his body, there is no need to send it to the torture department!"

Terumi Mei gave the other party the last 'tenderness'.

In the ninja world, the corpses of ninjas are a resource in themselves, so there are collective cemeteries like the 'Comfort Monument', which are specially used to protect the corpses of ninjas from the same village.

As for enemy corpses, they are naturally used for experiments and gathering information.

Especially experiments!

Ninja corpses are different from ordinary people, and they are definitely needed for experiments.

Let Qing handle the follow-up, and she led the people back to the Mizukage Building.

When only she, Chojuro and Yugao were left in the office, she spoke.

"What is your purpose in helping me this time?"

Terumi Mei stared at Yu Gao, the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki who had betrayed the Mist Ninja Village a long time ago.

"I want to return to the village or join the castle tower!"

Yu Gao said his intention.

Yes, he wanted to join the castle tower, but he couldn't join directly, so he might as well join indirectly from Kirigakure.

“…”

Terumi Mei's mouth twitched.

If the other party hadn't helped her just now, she would definitely let the other party understand what Mizukage-sama is now.

But soon, she suppressed this dissatisfaction and said directly:

"Yes, I agree with you to return to the village, but I can't guarantee whether you can be accepted by the castle tower!"

She knew the other party's information, and naturally understood why the other party defected before, but now suddenly came back to join.

"Thank you Mizukage-sama!"

Yugao thanked him.

When he defected, he not only hated the village for implanting Vulpix in his body, but also because he couldn't accept it in the blood mist.

But now in Kirigakure Village...he wants to make progress too much.

"Exactly, there is a task for you next, to give those nobles a 'billion points' warning, so that they understand that even the most docile hounds can still snap their teeth!"

Terumi Mei threw a hot potato to Yu Gao.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama!"

Since Yugao decided to join the castle tower, he would naturally not refuse such a task.

Anyway, for him, it is enough that he can get protection by joining the castle tower, and at the same time he can enjoy a safe life, so that he and his disciples will no longer be hunted by ANBU.

Next, Terumi Mei completed the task perfectly.

Bloodbathed the rebellious Mist Ninjas, and used those nobles' private armies as an excuse to attack, causing several nobles to 'die' of illness, and then negotiated with the daimyo.

Not only did they beat the opponent, they also took over the area with a radius of several hundred kilometers near the village, turning this area into a country within a country.

As for sea routes and the like, there is no need to talk about them. It is entirely about those with strong soldiers and horses. It is the daimyo and nobles who should worry, not them.

To drag the nobles into the water is not to prepare to deal with them in one go, but to slowly nibble away at them.

Terumi Mei had a good grasp of Dohei's thoughts.

After all, he wasn't covering up at all.

At the same time, the most critical thing is to secure the surrounding area of ​​"several hundred kilometers".

It doesn't sound too big. A senior ninja can reach the edge of the area in an hour with the instant body technique.

But you have to know that such an area is much larger than the River Country, and no matter how bad the terrain is, it is much better than that.

As long as this area is developed and specializes in breeding or planting some food suitable for the Water Country, it will definitely be able to easily feed tens of millions of people.

At that time, this area will be the "foundation of kingship", enough to support them to continue to erode the Water Country and eventually swallow it up completely.

If only occupying the Hidden Mist Village, it really doesn't need to be so troublesome.

But what Dohei wants is not to occupy the ninja village, but to occupy the countries behind it, which is naturally much more troublesome.

The key point is that the number of priestesses in the Ghost Country is not too many now, and it needs to be accumulated slowly.

Only with a sufficient number of priestesses in hand can the Water Country be truly "swallowed", not just nominally occupied, but actually controlled by bureaucrats and nobles.

At the same time, due to Dohei's plan, the importance of priestesses has been raised to several levels, and training will also cost more resources and energy.

Faith plan!

Faith is of great use to the castle tower.

Not to mention that negative energy can be fed to the monsters, it can also be collected and refined into a super energy source such as the "black stick".

Positive emotions can be used to supply the fourth holy place of Tanggu.

As long as there are people, faith can be harvested like crops.

Therefore, Dohei is fully committed to developing population and territory, not simply developing the ninja village, but with clear goals and needs, not just wanting to be a saint.

For the ninja village, the more people and the larger the territory, the greater the burden.

After all, ninjas are killing tools, not good at management and development.

But for the castle tower, in addition to strong combat power, they are even better at management, even stronger than the nobles and daimyo who monopolize this aspect.

The castle tower can develop wildly because they are not just "killing tools", but forces that can manage their own territory.

If they develop like the ninja village, they may have to find a sponsor to support them.

After all, the consumption of resources by ninjas cannot be supported by a single village.

And to develop an area with a radius of several hundred kilometers is a completely impossible task with the productivity of the ninja world.

But for the castle tower, this is not difficult.

Wuliang!

This alien monster may not be able to deal with even a shadow-level strongman in battle.

But in terms of construction and production, even the six-path-level strongman can't beat it.

One thousand terracotta warriors with strong bodies and infinite strength, who can work without sleep, are definitely better than any machine.

Mountain opening, sea reclamation... are not a problem.

The castle tower has developed so fast, most of the credit should belong to Wuliang.

As for the small half of the credit, it naturally belongs to the group of miko.

After the incident in the Water Country is over, Wuliang will soon come with the Terracotta Army to start building this area.

As long as this area develops, plus there are enough miko, it is not a dream to swallow the Water Country.

As for those Uchiha refugees, they are just hiding in the Water Country and will soon go to the castle tower.

Therefore, the internal troubles of the Water Kingdom have been completely resolved, and the next step is to focus on development.
