Chapter 426: Changes in the Far West
Of the pirates, monks, and wandering ninjas hired by Ino, only one in ten survived, but she still fulfilled her promise and gave them the rewards they deserved. As for those who died, there was nothing she could do. The dead didn't need gold, silver, or jewelry, so she just accepted it with reluctance.
The New Year is spent at sea. After a great victory, we have to celebrate and make up for it.
The five thousand ninjas who went on the expedition to the Hidden Mist Village were given vacations of varying lengths.
Ino led her army back to the village, which made the Konoha high-ranking officials, who were fighting on three fronts and worried that the village would be weakened and the enemy would take advantage of the situation, feel relieved.
Will the first to do this have no descendants? The Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha Village succeeded in stealing the house, and the Hidden Mist Village fell into the same pit twice. While being ridiculed by the ninja world, all major ninja villages listed preventing sneak attacks as their top priority.
Ino returned to the village, not only to take a necessary rest, but also to oversee the reconstruction of the village's sensory barrier.
Before, Konan's ring was stolen, and Itachi also mentioned that the Akatsuki organization's reconnaissance capabilities were extremely powerful. At that time, Ino, who was still a Chunin, once proposed the "Iron Wall Plan."
She required that the chakra characteristics of all ninjas entering Konoha be registered. Any ninja who did not register and appeared in non-public areas would be arrested if discovered by the sensing team.
At that time, this proposal was rejected by the Konoha high-level officials led by Utane Koharu, and the reasons for the rejection were varied.
It was rejected at first, but now it is being implemented.
Ino's personal strength is one aspect, and the continuous thefts of Kumogakure and Konoha set a bad precedent for the ninja world, which is another aspect.
It is unrealistic to conduct detection throughout the entire village. The power to detect all ninjas in real time is too great. If it is really implemented, everyone from the Hokage to the students of the ninja school will be under surveillance.
The parties studied it again and again, compromised again and again, and finally it became a key surveillance area.
The village gate, the main road in the village, the warehouse, the village’s twenty-two secret outposts, the two bases of the secret department, the hospital, the school and the commercial street are all within the monitoring range of the newly established sensing team.
The Hokage Building, the Anbu main base, the Root base, and the residences of the major ninja families are not allowed to be monitored.
Even so, the newly established induction class still has great power.
Yamanaka Inoichi officially resigned from the position of leader of the Analysis Class and announced his retirement. The Konoha high-level officials appointed Yamashiro Aoba as the successor to the position of leader of the Analysis Class.
The Yamanaka family formally withdrew from the Konoha Interrogation Department, which was composed of the Analysis Class and the Torture Class, and Ino's appointment as the new Sensing Class leader was officially approved.
Ino is now firmly one of the village's high-ranking officials, lower than the advisor and half a level higher than an ordinary jonin.
The new Sensing Class is no longer managed by the Jonin Class, but reports directly to the Hokage.
Ino is a new official. She took out the harvest from the Hidden Mist Village, which is the sensing water ball used by the original Space-Time Alliance Sensing Squad. This thing was suggested by Qing and was created by more than a dozen water-style ninjas and the fat man Nakayoshi. Now she is using it without hesitation.
She also buried alarm puppets in some key locations in the village. People might be distracted or bribed, but puppets would not.
Perception classes can only identify problems but cannot solve them.
A large number of ninjas from Konoha Village were divided into two fronts, the east and the west, and some conflicts within the village gradually emerged.
The problems are not big ones. Most of the time they are just quarrels between villagers, or trivial matters.
How to deal with it? Who will deal with it? In fact, the Second Hokage has considered these issues and has already planned a solution to the problem, but no one dares to talk about it now.
Kakashi proposed to re-establish the Konoha Police Force.
This force is responsible for the security of the village and was always controlled by the Uchiha clan.
After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, no one dared to mention this matter.
There was a time when Danzo suggested that the Hyuga family do this, but the Hyuga family shook their heads like rattles and said no, absolutely not! After that, the matter was delayed. No one mentioned it, and Konoha had not had a department to manage the village's security for nearly ten years. If something happened, whoever saw it would take care of it! Freedom is indeed very free, but it is indeed troublesome to report trivial matters to the Hokage.
Even after nearly ten years, now if anyone is asked to form the Konoha Police Force, it means that the entire family will be wiped out.
It seems that the Konoha Police Force has become synonymous with rebels.
All the major ninja families are unwilling to get involved in this mess.
The Ino-Shika-cho, the Sarutobi family, and the Hyuga family clearly refused.
Jiraiya had no choice but to let Kakashi be the captain of the new Konoha Police Force, and then select one deputy captain from the Inuzuka family and one from the Aburame family. Finally, a large number of civilian ninjas were added to the force to maintain daily law and order.
The establishment of a new sensory team and Konoha Police Force were basically the two major events that Konoha Village handled in the first half of the year.
Time quickly entered April, and the Ninja War had lasted for almost half a year.
"Hokage-sama! Tsunade-sama! This is a letter from Kakashi-sensei to you!" Rock Lee rushed into the camp like a gust of wind, and the carrier bird used to deliver the message was still on the way.
When Jiraiya came to the front line, Tsunade naturally became his adjutant. She had no objection to this and she drank some wine when she had nothing to do and was still very happy.
Jiraiya took the letter and read it carefully, and couldn't help but frown.
The letter came from the far west. Further west of the Land of Earth, there is a country called the Land of Demons. It is where the witches seal monsters. It is a typical barren land that has been guarded by witches from generation to generation.
In order to express their gratitude to the priestess clan for their efforts, the five major countries have been responsible for supplying materials to the Ghost Country, but that country is so poor that they have nothing.
If the five major countries do not contribute money and manpower, no matter how strong the will of the witch is, she will not be able to protect the seal alone.
Now that there are signs that the seal is broken, the priestess sends a message to the five major countries, and the Land of Earth among the five major countries immediately passes the information to the five major ninja villages.
No matter how we fight, it is a war of mankind. But if the seal is broken and monsters enter this world, everyone will be in trouble.
Two days later, the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning also sent messages, asking Konoha and Kumogakure to temporarily cease fire and immediately send ninjas to the Land of Demons to investigate.
Who should be sent?
This person must have a high enough combat power, and be proficient in sealing techniques and ninjutsu. He must be mobile, have a strong willpower, be decisive, and have a high enough status. For such an important matter, it would not work to just send a small soldier.
The Iwagakure Village, the Kumogakure Village, the Mist Village, and the Sand Village jointly recommend that Yamanaka Ino-san go investigate!
In the end, even Konoha thought she was the most suitable candidate. Listen to the name of this crappy place, the Land of Demons!
If you don't go, who will? If you don't go, who dares to go?
