In the main tent of Konoha's army.
After listening to Minato's report, everyone in the main tent was regretful.
Sure enough, it is still the immortal Cloud Ninja.
Yuki, who was sitting at the head, also shook his head. Since the 4th Raikage had already escaped, the idea of attacking Hidden Cloud Village and destroying it in one fell swoop had to end.
It seemed that the plan had to change.
After letting the exhausted Minato go down and have a good rest, Yuki turned around and looked at the great map of the Ninja Realm hanging on his back.
In the entire Ninja Realm, the Land of Fire was located in the middle of the continent, while the Land of Thunder was in the northeast corner of the continent.
The two great countries were not connected but separated by the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost.
Before, when the Cloud Ninjas had the upper hand, the former controlled these two small countries.
Now that the Cloud Ninjas were defeated, although because of the 4th Raikage's escape, the Land of Thunder and Hidden Cloud Village could no longer achieve a quick battle strategy. Yuki Senju was not interested in dragging the war on for long.
However, he and the Konoha behind him would not take it for the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Frost.
"If I remember correctly, the Hot Water Ninja and the Frost Ninja also joined the Cloud Camp this time and participated in the battle just now. How are the casualties of the Hot Water Ninja?" Yuki asked.
"Yes, Lord Hokage." Ritsuko, the female secretary, who had finished sorting out the information about the prisoners, nodded and said, "According to the captive, most of the Ninjas in the village is under the control of the Cloud Ninjas, and they have to participate in the battle with Konoha." "After the report, the Land of Hot Water loss is great. Almost 90 of the people are either dead or captured. The strength of the village is completely negligible."
Yuki nodded in understanding.
Small land was just so miserable.
Not only in terms of the number of ninjas and individual strength, it was far from comparable to the five great lands. But even the idea of staying in one place can only be broken under the interference of the will of those lands' major powers, and they have to participate in a war that is too cruel for them.
The Land of Rain was like this in the past, and the current the Land of Hot Water is the same.
As a member of Konoha, Yuki had no interest in sympathizing with him.
Not only that, but he also wanted to take advantage of his illness to take his life.
"Since the Hot Water Ninjas have suffered heavy losses, the power of the Land of Hot Water can be ignored. I will swallow it all as punishment for colluding with the Cloud Ninjas to fight against Konoha. Shisui!" Yuki ordered.
Shisui exited the line and listened to the order, "Yes, Lord Hokage!"
"Since the village is known as the village that forgets the war, let it become a reality forever." Yuki looked at him and ordered, "I'll send 50 ninjas to control everyone in Hidden Village of Hot Water Land. Those who are not convinced will be killed."
"Yes!" Shisui immediately stood up and said.
With fifty Konoha Ninjas and Shisui, it was more than enough to control the Hidden Village of Hot Water Land, which had already suffered a great loss of strength.
When the time comes, Yuki will make the Hidden Village of Hot Water Land and its ninjas completely become history, and the Land of Hot Water will forever be under Konoha's control.
At the same time, the people of Konoha who witnessed the whole process were both surprised and happy.
They were surprised that Yuki would not tolerate the Hot Water Ninja, and it was completely different from the previous three generations when they were in power.
The joy was that if the Hot Water Ninja was removed, then the whole share of the tasks in the Land of Hot Water would undoubtedly be taken by Konoha, which was undoubtedly a good thing for most of the Konoha Ninjas who still paid for the task.
In addition, for the more powerful Ninja Clan, opening the gate to the Land of Hot Water would benefit them even more.
Therefore, in the face of Yuki taking over the Land of Hot Water, no one in Konoha refuted it.
It was normal for the winner to take some benefits in a war.
Who asked Hot Water Ninjas to stand on the side of the Cloud Ninjas?
Regarding the thoughts of the people present, Yuki was also well aware. He smiled and said: "Not only the Land of Hot Water, but we also want to eat the Land of Frost. We will rest for a night to day, and Konoha's army will continue to set off tomorrow morning. This time, we will have a big meal!"
"Yes!"
The group of Konoha Ninjas were excited.
...
The Land of Frost was a land between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Hot Water, and it had a small reputation in the Ninja World.
However, today, the arrival of the 3,000 Konoha Ninjas made the name of the land quickly spread throughout the Ninja World.
As a small land, the territory of the Land of Frost was not big and was even smaller than the Land of Hot Water.
Yuki led the Konoha army and set off early in the morning. In less than two hours, they arrived at the land.
There was no obstruction along the way.
The Cloud Ninjas were nowhere to be seen.
I'm sorry, this power that has always been with the Cloud Ninjas was almost destroyed in the previous war.
Even Konoha did not count because the power of the Land of Frost was even smaller than that Land of Hot Water.
As the only land that was close to the Land of Thunder, with the temperament of the Cloud Ninjas, although they could tolerate their own Ninja power, it was easy to imagine how much this power could develop.
It could be said that the Land of Frost had always been a subsidiary of the Land of Thunder.
However, because of the defeat of the Cloud Ninjas, the relationship between the two countries, which had lasted for many years, would change to this day.
The power of the 4th Raikage, who had returned to the Kingdom of Thunder, was limited. To ensure the safety of the Land of Thunder, he recalled all the Cloud Ninjas outside.
The Cloud Ninja troops that were supposed to be stationed in the Land of Frost also withdrew overnight.
Therefore, they almost encountered no resistance when the Konoha Ninjas entered the capital of the Land of Frost and even the mansion.
"Lord Hokage, the name of the Land of Frost, requests a meeting." A Konoha Ninja came in front of Yuki and reported.
Yuki waved his hand and said, "Tell him I don't have time right now. Just let him comfort everything in the country. Konoha will ensure his safety. Don't worry about anything else."
It was just a small land, and he didn't have time to care about it now.
At this time, he was really concerned that the 4th Raikage from the Land of Thunder called the last Cloud Ninja to fight against Konoha's invaders.
"It's true that the Yellow River doesn't want to die. We seem to have to put more pressure on the Cloud Ninjas!"
Yuki smiled coldly and ordered, "Order the troops to move to the border between the Land of Frost and the Land of Thunder and prepare for battle. Also, ask the rear to bring Dodai, the Cloud."
If Yuki was willing to accept, he would accept, but this also required the cooperation of the Cloud Ninjas.
His anger might have blinded the 4th Raikage, and could not change his mind for a moment, but at this time, if there was a clear-headed and reputable person on the side to persuade him, it should be very effective.
As an important minister of the 3rd Raikage and now carefully assisting the 4th Raikage, Dodai undoubtedly had this qualification.
Especially the latter had personally witnessed the destruction of the Cloud Ninja Army yesterday. The other party had a deep memory and knew how to persuade the 4th Raikage when he returned.
"Take this opportunity to give the negotiation conditions that stopped the war to Dodai and bring them back."
At the thought of the aggressive conditions that the Cloud Ninjas submitted in Konoha, Yuki laughed and made ten times the base!
Not to mention the fact that when the already pale face Dodai was brought in front of Yuki, his face turned ugly when he heard the latter's conditions.
Just as Yuki led the Konoha army to the Land of Frost, Shisui, who set out earlier, led fifty Konoha Ninjas to occupy the village.
Apart from a few stubborn village members who resisted and were killed, the whole process was very easy.
"Master Shisui, these are all the Ninjutsu scrolls from Hidden Village." A group of Konoha Ninjas carried a large pile of scrolls and entered Shisui's office to report.
"Very good." Shisui flipped through the Ninjutsu scroll and nodded in satisfaction.
He was not interested in the Ninjutsu scrolls in front of him.
Compared to Konoha and even the Uchiha with a thousand years of inheritance, Hot Water Ninja's Ninjutsu naturally would not enter his eyes.
What really satisfied him was his cooperative attitude as the leader of Hidden Village.
Previously, he heard that Hidden Village was chosen from the ordinary people with high regard in the village.
Looking at it now, this Hidden Village non-ninja was quite good for Konoha.
If not for the fact that the other side knew how to make the village give up resisting, although they could occupy it, it would not be as easy as it was now.
It was a good thing to have less blood.
Shisui was very satisfied with the cooperative attitude of the village people.
Looking out of the window, he could see that although there were more ninjas in the street than in the past, the village villagers calmly accepted all of this after just one night, and the big street returned to its former liveliness.
As expected of a village that forgot about the war.
It should be a good thing for the people of this village to replace the stronger Konoha.
This also did not disappoint the Hokage, and he was slightly relieved.
However, when he heard his subordinates report about the new situation in Hidden Village that he had just collected, he could not help but frown.
"Disciples who believe in evil gods cult?"
Years of wars and killings caused the people of the Ninja Realm to be in great pain. At the same time, they also created all kinds of religions to provide spiritual support for the former.
In addition to the temples of fire in the Land of Fire and religious organizations on the faces of the witches in the Land of Ghosts, there were also many cults among the people who believed in strange gods.
Generally speaking, Shisui would not pay attention to this.
After all, the existence of these religions had its own meaning.
However, this did not include the extremely bloody sacrificial methods, and the cult's teachings were extremely twisted and evil.
Coincidentally, the information reported by his subordinates at this time showed that there was a group of cult followers in Hidden Village.
Under the influence of Yuki, Shisui, who was very indifferent to religion, immediately issued an order: "Capture all the cult followers!"
Now that the Hidden Village belonged to Konoha, Shisui didn't want a group of people with abnormal brains to cause trouble there.
Therefore, removing this evil cult as soon as possible was better; otherwise, it would not be big when it grew stronger.
"Yes!"
A team of Konoha Ninjas quickly took action after receiving the order.
Soon, the Hidden Village, which had just calmed down, moved once again.
"What are you doing?"
"How dare you! How dare you offend the great True God!"
"Brothers and sisters, attack together and kill these blasphemers!"
""... "
The Evil Gods Cult was very powerful; not everyone was as careful and cautious as the elders.
After the Cloud Ninjas pulled out the cannon fodder, many people chose to return.
And now, they were discovered, but they had no choice but to fight against the Konoha Ninjas, who defeated the Cloud Ninjas.
