Chapter 438: waiting instead of attacking
They also know that the ninja sent to their side to fight are all people that are sent to die because of their behavior in the hidden leaf village.
So they wanted to make double insurance by killing these people and get close to the hidden leaf village in friendly terms in the name of peace.
...….
Suzaku on the other hand got the report back from the occupied lands.
Suzaku has implemented special modifications so that taking over the land would become easy for him.
First of all the tax is a normal thing but there is no excess tax.
Second they are directly named as the citizens of the ninja empire instead of making them vassal state people.
So they have equal rights as the people of the ninja empire.
Third is because of the war the cost of living has increased sharply.
But Suzaku returned some of the provisions pushing the costs back to the normal level.
Fourth is the quick rectification of all the problems, this caused the people to live happily.
This directly won the hearts of the people letting Suzaku get their lands directly.
Fifth is the abolishing the nobles and daimyo of the other states from their original ranking and changed the ranking.
They become the subjects of Suzaku as the Shogun of the ninja empire.
Sixth is the power structure of the ninja empire is completely different from the previous village and land dual rule system.
That means there are no longer Kage of a hidden village and the daimyo of the land.
Everything is unified into a single power ruled by Suzaku alone.
...
This is how Suzaku planned the things.
The daimyo of the land of the wind and the daimyo of the land of the mist were downgraded to normal nobles.
They can maintain a small army of guards to protect them but they would not have the same privileges as they had as the daimyo.
Since the power Suzaku showed is very strong they can only accept these conditions.
Suzaku did not cause them any big damages.
All their properties and wealth are still with them.
Only a part of it was taken away to stabilize the newly acquitted land.
So in terms of capital, Suzaku did not use the money of the land of fire.
Instead all of the capital used to stabilize the other lands is acquired from the daimyo of the specific lands.
But in return Suzaku let them keep their grand appearance as the first nobles of the ninja empire.
That is the title with benefits even after they lost the battle is exchanged for the capital that they had in excessive amounts.
This has balanced the situation in 15 days.
At the same time the ninja from these lands combined with the ninja of the hidden leaf village and the size of the army grew.
As the army of these lands has already prepared for war with all the supplies ready, they simply moved to another battle front.
That is not all Suzaku did, he called all the remaining people that are guarding the coast towards the hidden mist village to return to the village and rest.
Similarly all the idle people were shifted to a different side.
After resting for a week they would be sent to the side of hidden stone village.
As for the side of third Hokage that is continuously requesting for extra troops, only received blank response.
Also the people that would give response are actually the ones that lost their loved ones in the plots of the third Hokage.
Giving those replies they are very happy feeling the aggrieved expression of the third Hokage.
Danzo and other elders of the hidden leaf village are still alive.
Suzaku let them live and rot in the prison.
They cannot use chakra as Suzaku directly sealed it.
They could not break the seal with chakra.
The roots that are loyal to Danzo are completely gone.
The base of the roots was directly decimated.
Suzaku sent his clone to the temple of fire to check if there is anything that is out of ordinary present here.
Other than that the process of occupying is going smoothly.
Their next target is the land of stone and the hidden stone village.
The old man Onoki is currently in the hidden stone village hospital because of the heart attack under the excessive pressure.
Fortunately this is the first heart attack and not a severe one.
The old man is really good with his health and he was able withstand the heart attack easily.
Unfortunately the hidden stone village is having a hard time because of breaks in command chain and the differences between the ninja.
Also the pressure coming from the news that they got about Suzaku and many ninja from other villages is causing panic in the hidden stone village.
In the past week this is their situation.
They are constantly living in fear for the entire week.
This is like the shell shock caused in the modern battle fields.
After listening to much terrible news, they will naturally have psychological fears in their thoughts.
But their expected attack did not appear for a month.
So they started to become like loose sand checking things back and forth.
At the same time they also revealed all the information related to the battle formations and other secrets.
It was easy for the people from the hidden leaf village to capture all the information related to traps and other things.
This is what Suzaku is waiting for.
The people of the land of stone are stubborn.
They would not easily surrender to Suzaku even if he goes to the hidden stone village and killed their Tsuchikage.
So they only way to get them is through the tricky way.
There is no need to break their strong spirit instead he has to take them using tricks.
These people are stubborn and only the old man Tsuchikage is intelligent enough to see through the tricks.
