Chapter 287 Undercurrents and Future Layout!

recently.

An explosive piece of news spread throughout the ninja world.

The Daimyo of the Tea Kingdom hired the castle tower to clear out weapons of mass destruction in the territory over a long period of time.

No matter who they are, as long as they are related to it, they will be ruthlessly eliminated.

As a result, many noble lords have been directly "cleared out" due to their non-cooperation.

The order was given in the name of the Tea Kingdom, so the process was completely reasonable.

The major ninja villages reacted neutrally to this matter.

Because this kind of thing is not uncommon.

Just like there are forces like 'Fire Temple' and 'Guardian Ninja' within the Land of Fire, they can also be hired.

So even though what the castle tower did was a bit over the line, they could accept it.

The roots of the people can overthrow a small country, and the castle tower is just taking on some missions to support itself, is that too much?

Anyway, even if I am not right, I still have to be strong.

The point is, there is no longer an excuse for interference.

The Tea Country incident has now come to an end.

Even if that force wants to intervene again, they can't do so openly.

The ninja world is not in the Warring States period now, so it is impossible for them to invade without any reason.

Even if the Kumogakure invaded Konoha, they would find an excuse like 'the dog is lost'.

Now that the castle tower is entrenched in the Tea Kingdom, if any force wants to intervene, it will clearly be making things difficult for the other party and will bear the consequences at its own risk.

Purifying Flame!
The fury of the storm!
Plus the Uchiha's eldest son's lineage.

Anyway, anyone with a sound mind will just stand by and watch.

Isn't it just a poor little country?

Let him play as he pleases.

In other words, the country of tea is extremely poor and its geographical environment is not good.

If it is a place with a good environment like the Land of the Moon, the Land of Hot Springs, etc., the five major ninja villages will not allow it.

If the big forces don't step forward, the small forces and wild ninjas will not dare to step forward either.

Thus, the castle tower became a fait accompli.

But the fact that the major ninja villages ignored it did not mean that the daimyos of various countries ignored it. They all spoke out and rebuked it.

Don't think they are stupid. Even if they are really stupid, they must have many smart people among their subordinates. They can naturally see that the Tea Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the castle tower.

This kind of thing happens quite a lot in the ninja world.

Just like those small countries, they are also controlled by the five major ninja villages.

But they are one of the five major ninja villages, and their manipulations are extremely covert, so they can completely turn a blind eye.

But do you think your castle tower is worthy of it?

So these big names popped up.

In other words, the castle tower moved too quickly and it was over before they could react, otherwise they would not just talk but would have taken actual action.

And the current rebuke is also a "warning" to the castle tower.

If they don't stop what they are doing immediately, these daimyos may take action.

It's not because they are loyal, but because these daimyos know one thing.

Suppressing the ninjas and never allowing them to overstep the boundaries was what they had to do.

"Arrogant" ninja forces like the castle tower are the targets they must suppress.

Those who have money can donate money, those who have strength can donate strength, and those who don’t have any can lend their support.

Therefore, the castle tower instantly became the "public enemy of the ninja world", the kind that everyone wanted to kill.

If it were any other ninja village, it might have shrunk.

But Tang Ping is not a coward.

The Tea Kingdom is related to his dream of overthrowing the ninja world and wiping out the Otsutsuki family. No matter who dares to stop him, he will make the other party understand what "painful understanding" means.

Do you really think you can't carry rice?

If someone really dares to take action, Tang Ping feels that there will definitely be an organization that loves "justice" and will not be able to stand it and will go directly to the other person's house to carry rice.

But that is a matter for later. Right now the castle tower must master the Land of Tea as quickly as possible and then digest everything it has gained from the air ninjas.

Although Tang Ping was also needed for these things, there was something that needed him even more.

The village messenger!
This time, Nara Shikaku, the squad leader of the jonin and Konoha military strategist, was sent to act as a messenger, which has already made the village's intentions clear.

If you don't want to "betray the village", you must go back to the village.

However, only Team 404 needs to go back. The Uchiha of the Nagafusa lineage and those civilian ninjas do not technically belong to the village.

Of course, invitations will definitely be invited.

At least Uchiha Mei was among the invited guests.

Faced with this situation, even if Tang Ping was unwilling, he had no choice but to leave the Tea Kingdom and return to the village first.

If you go back to the castle tower from Shirayu Port in the Land of Tea without taking a detour and instead walk in a straight line across the sea, it would probably only be over a thousand nautical miles.

If you take a detour by land, the distance will be at least several times longer.

Of course they went by sea!
The returning team was their 404 team plus Uchiha Mei.

Leaving Uchiha Sho, Uchiha Shizuka, Yakushi Nono and others to take charge of the Tea Kingdom.

At the very least, we have to eliminate those troublesome guys, and then absorb and digest the things before withdrawing our strength.

As for the castle tower?
It's located in the Land of Fire and is very safe except during the Ninja World War. It would be completely fine if Yashiro was in charge there.

It only took them a few hours to reach the castle tower.

That's the speed of ninja!

Yashiro, who had just returned and received the news, came with a messenger.

"Dohei-kun, I have been ordered to come and ask you to return to the village!"

As soon as they met, Nara Shikaku started to deal with things in a businesslike manner in order to avoid being caught in a dilemma.

Because he knew very well what the purpose of inviting the other party back this time was.

Although he opposed it in his heart, as a member of the Hokage faction, he naturally could not jump out and go against the Hokage faction, so he just had to do his job impartially.

"it is good!"

This time, Tang Ping did not try to delay like he did before, but agreed directly.

After all, it would be impolite to delay any further.

Now it was just in time for him to go back and lie down to prepare for the upcoming Nine-Tailed Fox Night.

In the letter I received recently, Uzumaki Kushina had already told me that she was pregnant.

Even though the specific time is not stated, it will be within a few months at most, so he doesn't have much time and must seize the opportunity.

Erzhuzi has been born, so we can meet him this time.

But before setting off, Dou Ping naturally had to go back to the laboratory first to put down the information and ninjutsu he had obtained this time.

Nara Shikaku naturally would not give him such little face, so he told him to do as he pleased.

Wait for the other person to leave.

"Yashiro, I think we should promote a competition between the castle tower and the river country!"

Tang Ping couldn't wait to assign an extremely important task to Yashiro.

"Contest?"

Uchiha Yashiro was completely confused.

"Yes, it's a competition!"

Tang Ping gestured and explained his plan.

Hang gliding competition!
This thing can be controlled by ordinary people as long as they have enough skills and courage.

As long as the rewards are high and the cost of participation is low, it is guaranteed that countless people will be willing to participate.

As for the danger?

Sorry, in a place like the ninja world, death is commonplace.

If you were in other places, you might not even have enough food to eat, so how would you want to participate in these things?

But it is completely unrealistic to say that everyone under their command is rich.

But everyone can definitely have enough to eat!
It is precisely because of this that he was given the title of 'Beacon of the Ninja World'.

As long as the rewards are sufficient, it is guaranteed that countless people will rush to participate in this kind of competition.

As for why it is a competition instead of entertainment?
Of course it’s because the people are not worthy of entertainment at all, they just need to have enough to eat.

How to organize the competition, what competition system to adopt, how much reward to give... and so on, the affairs are extremely busy, so they have to be handed over to the eighth generation.

"If you do well, you can choose a bottle of either Radiance Potion or Nature's Force!"

After Tang Ping stated his request, he also gave a reward.

"Don't worry, Master Tang Ping!"

Yashiro immediately said that these requests were no problem and he could definitely handle them.

So Dohei put down his things, checked the progress of his experiment, took some things, and met up with Nara Shikaku to go to Konoha Village.
