Chapter 188 I come, I see, I conquer!
Kikyo Mountain!
Tang Ping burned the information in his hand with fire, without any waste.

His mastery of Fire Escape became more and more profound.

With the accumulation of various aspects, his current speed of progress in Fire Escape is definitely far beyond the imagination of countless people.

Now, he is developing his second chakra attribute.

Earth attribute!
If you have Fire and Earth escape techniques, you can try a Kekkei Genkai.

Melt Escape!

This is a bloodline limit that Dohei feels is underestimated. At least in his opinion, there is a lot of room for it to be fully utilized.

Especially according to his idea, the combat effectiveness can be greatly improved.

And with the example of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Zi, it is proven that this path is indeed feasible.

Although the opponent's record is poor, the same thing still applies.

The strong one is always the user, not the bloodline limit.

If Hashirama Senju had Lava Release, he would still be able to achieve an invincible record with Wood Release.

In the past, Dohei might have been worried about where to get earth-style ninjutsu and knowledge.

Now, due to looting the Root, he has obtained a large amount of earth-style ninjutsu and knowledge.

Of course, these are far from comparable to the Iwagakure Village.

He was the master of earth escape. His series of high-level earth escape made Tang Ping extremely jealous, and he secretly prepared to make plans for him in the future.

"Danzo... huh, it's really your style to not die until you're done."

After burning the intelligence, Tang Ping stood up with a sigh and glanced at the busy outside.

The division of the ninja army is not a simple separation, it involves many aspects.

For example, factions, strength, logistics... and other aspects.

It was because the village had given him too many benefits, and that place was what he favored. Otherwise, if someone really dared to reduce his power in this way, he would have died.

After a while.

Shimura Setsuna and Naradato walked into the office and bowed to greet them.

"My lord!"*2
Since he had a clear idea of ​​what he had done during this period, Shimura Shunsuna kept his head down, fearing that he would give Dohei an excuse to lose his temper.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble," Tang Ping said to comfort him before saying, "But my business and commissioned tasks...?"

The other person was just following orders from the village's top brass, so he naturally had no reason to make things difficult for such a sensible guy, but he also put forward some conditions.

Yes, I can accept orders.

But you have to take care of the Chamber of Commerce and commissioned tasks.

If the other party doesn't even agree to this, don't blame Tang Ping for overturning the table.

"Please don't worry, sir!"

Shimura Setsuna didn't hesitate at all.

Not to mention that Tang Ping greeted him personally, even if he didn't greet him, he wouldn't be stupid enough to target him. He would even be careful to protect him.

The person just left, not died, and he was even his superior.

His IQ must have dropped to the point where he dared to attack her.

After all, it was the village's action to seize the power of the Southwestern Ninja Army, and he was just an executor. But if he dared to get involved in such an action against a private individual, did he really think that others would not dare to take action?

Even the son of the Hokage dares to challenge him, so he doesn't think his status is higher than that of the other party.

"That's good. If the Sand Ninja attacks next time, you can ask me for help!"

Tang Ping made a promise with satisfaction.

That is, when you can't withstand the attack of the Sand Ninja, you can send a distress signal to yourself.

Whether he will come or not is another matter.

"Thank you, sir!"

Shimura Setsuna looked excited.

This commitment is what he needs.

After all, he was stationed at Mount Kikyo, and he was also worried that the Sand Ninja would break the agreement and attack. They had several Kage-level warriors, and he was an elite jonin, so it would be good if he didn't lose heart in the face of this lineup.

Having a promise is at least hope.

After giving the instructions, Tang Ping also officially got up and left Kikyo Mountain.

As for the Narada people, they didn't take them away.

Although the other party did not participate in Shimura Setsuna's actions during the time he was away, he did not stop them either, and was considered to be in a "neutral" state.

Therefore, Tang Ping was naturally unwilling to bring such neutral subordinates to his "foundation of kingship and hegemony".

They are smart people, and if they really make some noise, they will probably find out. Only when the situation is in hand, these neutral people may lean towards him, so before that, it is better to maintain a cooperative relationship.

We didn’t have enough manpower before, but now we have a few small families coming to us for help, and we don’t necessarily have to rely on them for help.

And more than that!

Tang Ping also has a group of "foreign aid" who should be able to arrive soon.

Witch!

The priestess from the Land of Demons will also bring monsters and a thousand terracotta warriors, which was previously discussed with Maitreya.

Don't think that the shrine maidens are just clergymen.

The shrine maiden of the Demon Kingdom is a comprehensive profession that involves medicine, management, intelligence, etc.

With this group of priestesses, plus a few people who had taken refuge in small families, Tang Ping dared to accept refugees.

Otherwise, without management personnel, the large number of refugees would be a disaster.

Don’t worry about food either!
Honda Chamber of Commerce has already started preparations, so they will not be short of food even if Konoha is short of food.

The ninja world is a world of great contradictions.

Most people live in poverty and hunger, but a small number of people cannot spend all their food and money no matter how hard they consume.

Yes, I'm talking about those nobles.

The food in the warehouse could be described as "piled up like a mountain", and no matter how many civilians starved to death under their rule, they would rather let the food rot than use it for relief.

The Honda Chamber of Commerce purchased a large amount of grain from the nobles in advance.

Even the price of food in the Fire Nation was raised a few cents.

All I can say is that in order to open a "branch base", Tang Ping started preparing very early on.

In particular, the lord of Chashan Castle died in an accident last month, making this area ownerless. The Minister of the Fire Country knew that the Southwestern Ninja Army was going to be stationed here, so he sold the right to use it to Dohei for 99 years.

In other words, he was not a noble, otherwise it was not sold but granted.

Doesn’t that sound like a coincidence?

There is no acting, it's all coincidence!
It was a move that was not even acted, and many people saw through it, not to mention the Konoha Village, even the ministers of the Fire Nation saw through it.

But no one spoke.

Because Tang Ping's fist was strong enough, and this area was poor and backward, no one cared about it, so it was only natural to throw it to him.

The Fire Nation doesn't have much, with worthless wasteland and endless dying civilians being the most.

The ninjas assigned to Dohei's command were mostly civilians, with a small number of non-Hokage ninja clans.

This distribution is also related to his subtle opposition with the Hokage system.

Therefore, half of the Southwestern Ninja Army, which is nearly 800 ninjas (there are a total of 1,500 ninjas, and he was given 50 more places) had complicated expressions.

It’s both uncomfortable and reassuring!

This is naturally because they are all of the 'exiled' type.

Anyone can see that the half of the southwestern ninja army in Kikyo Mountain are the real "children" of Konoha, and the half that hang out with Dohei are the kind that are raised by their stepfathers.

I feel at ease because Tang Ping is such a good fighter.

If you follow him, at least you don't have to worry about being attacked by a shadow-level strongman.

Whizzing!

After looking back at Kikyo Mountain where the prototype of the fortress had already been built, Tang Ping took the lead and left.

The logistics personnel and the like had already set out in advance, and only the ninja army was the last to set out.

Using the standard marching speed, it took almost two days to reach the destination.

Tea Mountain City!
A small mountain town by the sea.

The surrounding area is barren and hard land with sparse tea trees.

Occasionally one could see a few human corpses that had been gnawed by wild beasts until only bones were left.

There's no way, the wild is not safe.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many escort missions.

You are lucky if you encounter a wild beast. If you encounter a monster or a ninja beast, no matter how many guards you bring, you will have to kneel unless you are a ninja or a special profession.

That’s why the one country, one village system came into being.

Because a ninja village is needed to deal with these beasts and monsters.

"We're finally here!" Tang Ping, who was standing at the front of the team, looked at the small mountain city in the distance and said domineeringly: "I came, I saw, I conquered!"

The foundation of his future hegemony is finally about to be started.
