After a brief but intense battle in Amegakure, both Hyuga Kaze and Uchiha Madara fell silent, making no moves for two days. However, the other forces in the ninja world were all on edge and unable to sleep.
The Allied Shinobi Forces, in particular, were constantly licking their wounds and unable to find peace; they were truly terrified and uneasy.
They were caught in the crossfire at the main gate; the sudden attack two days prior had created two shocking trenches within the Allied camp. These trenches, nearly six meters deep and over a thousand meters long, have not yet been filled in. Although the bottom has now been cleared, those who saw them at the time understand the horrific sight of blood, flesh, and mud that lay beneath.
Everyone thought that they had the advantage of numbers and could overwhelm the enemy by sheer numbers, but the day before yesterday, more than 3,000 people were suddenly lost. Many people lost the courage to resist due to the unexpected attack.
With this kind of killing method, there's no need for a direct confrontation. Just throw the meteors a few more times and the entire Allied Shinobi Forces will be wiped out!
Fortunately, things have been calm these past two days, which has allowed the Allied Shinobi Forces to barely hold on.
Furthermore, the commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces, who had been unable to determine the division of command for some time, was finally decided, with the Tsuchikage Onoki being elected as the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
But after calming down, Onoki realized that he had been tricked. Ordinary people could surrender, but how could the leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces surrender! If the enemy was only one side, it would be better to use more lives to wear them down, there would still be some hope. But now there were two such strong guys, and Onoki himself was very confused.
Last night, the intelligence agents who were lurking around the outskirts of Amegakure sent back the videos they had taken. To be honest, if the intelligence information from different channels hadn't been consistent, Onoki would have almost thought that the videos were from a movie or something the enemy had deliberately made to scare him.
The battle between Hyuga Kaze and Uchiha Madara in the video was beyond the normal understanding of the world by ninjas. Onoki even doubted whether they really trained in the same system. Why was the difference in their strength so exaggerated?
"Old man, what do you want with me? Why haven't you said anything all this time?"
Inside Onoki's temporary tent, Kurotsuchi, the future leggy figure, waited for a long time without her grandfather speaking, and couldn't help but step forward and tug at his beard to ask him a question.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Let go, you little brat!"
When his granddaughter grabbed his beard, Onoki finally snapped out of his endless thoughts. He then quickly tried to save face, and it took a while for the situation to calm down.
"Hmph, she has absolutely no gentleness that a woman should have!"
Sighing as he stroked his beard, Onoki looked at Kurotsuchi with a mixture of helplessness, doting affection, and a hint of guilt in his eyes. After a while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Black Soil, you'll be heading back to the village soon. I have a mission for you."
"Hmm, isn't war about to break out? What would I do going back now?"
"Go back and pack up the supplies. If we fail to resist Uchiha Madara, you should go and seek refuge with Hyuga Kaze."
Kurotsuchi's face darkened, but Onoki remained steadfast and continued, "According to the intelligence, he's a lecherous fellow. With your abilities, it's still possible for the village to continue its legacy."
......
Around the same time as Onoki, the other ninja villages also began their own arrangements. Granny Chiyo arranged for Temari to return to the village to collect stains, Mizukage Mei Terumi began to meticulously groom herself in front of the mirror, and Kakashi began to reminisce about his friendship with Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarashi.
Only the Cloud Ninja remained eager to continue their fight against Uchiha Madara and Hyuga Kaze, harboring a terrifying thought. If even the incredibly powerful Uchiha Madara and Hyuga Kaze coveted the power of the Tailed Beasts, could the Cloud Ninja also have a chance to unify all the Tailed Beasts and truly become the strongest ninja in the world?
Although Onoki and his group reacted quickly, they were actually already far behind. By now, Amegakure had already received dozens of waves of messengers!
The intelligence videos received by the Allied Shinobi Forces had already been leaked through various means and presented to the desks of daimyo and nobles in various countries. To be honest, they were really terrified.
Many ancient noble families unearthed texts from old archives that were once considered fantastical, such as celestial beings, the land of ancestors, the Sage of Six Paths, the great war that shattered the world, and the earth-shattering battles between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. These things, which were originally taken as jokes, are actually quite realistic when compared to the battle scenes between Hyuga Kaze and Madara Uchiha in the video.
Some of the older nobles still recall the whispered admonitions passed down from generation to generation, which now sound incredibly real.
Many nobles and lords doubted whether they could truly control people like Hyuga Kaze and Uchiha Madara.
They couldn't help but admire their ancestors. With such a person, how did you become a great lord and wield power in this world?
However, no matter how much they admired and missed their ancestors, it was all in vain. Hyuga Kaze and Uchiha Madara had made it clear that they wanted to unify the world, and they had to come up with a solution themselves.
It should be said that politicians' thinking is very similar. After witnessing the strength of both sides more clearly, those daimyo and nobles first gathered together to curse Uchiha Madara and Hyuga Kaze, and discussed increasing manpower to eliminate the two scourges.
After the meeting, they went back to arrange for their trusted men to set off. Then, one by one, messengers secretly arrived at Amegakure to discuss matters with Hyuga Kaze.
Some of them, acting on behalf of their own daimyo, promised that if Hyuga Kaze submitted and destroyed Uchiha Madara, he would be granted the title of a high-ranking nobleman, and all he had to do was maintain a respectful facade.
Some suggested ceding some land to Hyuga Kaze, making him a daimyo, then having him kill Madara, and everyone living together peacefully.
Some smaller countries expressed their willingness to submit, wanting to acknowledge Hyuga Kaze as the ruler of the ninja world and discussing granting him the largest piece of land. Of course, they would still need to protect their own territories, and Hyuga Kaze would have to conquer the rest himself!
Some noble families also said that as long as Hyuga Kaze was willing to cooperate to overthrow Uchiha Madara and the daimyo, they could share the land and become daimyo with Hyuga Kaze.
Some of the messengers, who were not quite right in the head, were so arrogant that they actually warned Hyuga Kaze to be mindful of his duty as a ninja and advised him to surrender quickly and kill the traitor Uchiha Madara to serve the daimyo. They said that if he did so, Hyuga Kaze would have a chance to become a great figure like them, a close retainer!
In short, the past two days have seen a chaotic scene of all sorts of strange and monstrous figures in Amegakure, with representatives from all the major and minor factions of the ninja world arriving. Hyuga Kaze initially met with a few out of curiosity, but was quickly disgusted by their behavior.
In his previous life, he had seen many incredibly absurd news stories on the Internet of Things, but he never imagined that the reality of the ninja world now would be even more surreal!
"Get out of here! Let them go! They're utterly delusional!"
Waving at Mikoto who came to report, Hyuga Kaze rubbed his forehead and continued, "If anyone else sends an envoy, just kill them. Seeing too many idiots makes me doubt my own brain."
