Red Dust

"Now, it's not the time, look forward to the next meeting, I don't feel far away..."

The revenge boy who muttered to himself, hurried away without looking back, with no intention of meeting at all.

In a dark corner that no one paid attention to, a long snake winding around the tree trunk, gloomy eyes watched Sasuke Uchiha go away, and then disappeared into chakra smoke.

In a secret underground base, Orochimaru retrieved the psychic snake, learned what happened to Sasuke Uchiha, and said with a little regret:

"It's a pity that I didn't meet it, but the test is enough..."

With the current physical strength of Sasuke Uchiha, it is much stronger than the body of the Huanyu pill used by Orochimaru now.

It's been almost three years since the last time I used the forbidden technique - Reincarnation from the Dead, and this riddled body has begun to limit the strength of Orochimaru. Time to get your hands on the perfect container.

Although Sasuke Uchiha has not turned on the kaleidoscope writing wheel now, it is a bit regrettable, but it has been supplemented in other fields, which is not bad.

Of course, the last thing is to maximize the use of everything including the body that he is currently using, and then take over everything from Sasuke Uchiha to achieve his long-cherished wish for many years.

"Bou, get ready..."

The pharmacist, who was silently acting as an assistant, held up the spectacle frame, with a fake smile on his face, respectfully echoed:

"Is the time coming soon, congratulations to Mr. Orochimaru, he is about to get what he wants..."

Orochimaru smiled and stretched out his long tongue, licking the corner of his mouth greedily.

"Daimaru seems to have said something to Sasuke, making him confident! If his reliance is the immortal mode, then he will think too much. I really want to see what his expression will look like..."

"Complete despair? Unfortunately, I can't see it anymore!"

Even though Sasuke Uchiha is not what it used to be, and his strength is still improving rapidly, the gap with Orochimaru is still huge, especially after being planted with the curse of the sky engraved into his soul, Orochimaru is almost invincible. lost ground.

Chapter 1030 Rebellion

In the new year, not many big things happened.

Jiraiya also took the nine-tailed man Zhuli back to the village, which did not arouse the shock of ordinary people, but only attracted the attention of a group of ninja executives.

In contrast, the big actions of the sand ninjas have an even more appalling impact on the lower-level ninjas and even the world.

Before the major ninja villages could make the necessary responses, the residents of the land of wind spontaneously began to flow.

In a prosperous land like the Land of Fire, most of the residents are farmers or tenants, and their economy, status, spirituality, and even mobility are not enough to make them escape the shackles of the land.

There is no such thing as going out to work, doing business, etc. to make a living by yourself. There is no basis to leave the home environment at will, and you will only become a lonely refugee. Either die in a foreign land or be exploited by bandits and ruffians, and even become wandering ninjas and thieves. The gang's cannon fodder.

Industry and commerce can only be played by people with certain economic strength and social status. The class of the ninja world is solidified, although because of the existence of ninjas, it will not be completely stagnant, and the promotion channel for ordinary people is quite narrow.

A simple reason can be understood that ninjas are nominally an employment profession that does not pay attention to their positions. Whoever has more money will help whoever. Of course, most of this power is used to maintain vested interests, and those with money and power are powerful. Will people pay a lot of money to hire ninjas to cut their own flesh to feed the mud legs facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky?

The mission of the seventh class of Konoha Shimonin is a typical example. The bridge-building expert who entrusts the hope of a country can't even get the remuneration for the B-level mission. The entire country is controlled by the collusion of business bandits. There is simply no story of "ghost people" who will not kill others later.

Officially because of this, becoming a ninja, especially for the civilians of Sandyin Village, is an opportunity to change their fate, mastering extraordinary power, even if it is just forbearance, it is actually equivalent to having a "guarantee", at least not even food.

The Land of Winds is slightly different, and the residents have even less choice. Where there is an oasis and where there is water, it is their place of relocation.

The plateau snow peaks built by Daimaru and his subordinates, the rivers and ditches dug by a large number of low-level ninjas, as well as the ever-spreading green grass and windbreak forests, under the blessing of Mu Dun, spread out in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, the most recent residents of the Land of Winds began to go to the land of lush water and grass, and even farther away, people who got news a little later were eager to move.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that a consortium consisting of a large number of apprentice workshops and ordinary people is taking shape with Sand Ninja as the center.

Because of the different perspectives, the executives of Konoha Village are concerned about the improvement of Sand Ninja's strength, so it is inevitable that there are omissions.

"Ninja Village is not a country. If it continues, the consequences will be unpredictable..."

Gaara watched anxiously at the farming settlements built with the low-level sand ninja as the core, absorbing groups of refugees from the Land of Winds from afar.

Daimaru shrugged and responded indifferently:

"On the Daimyo side, another messenger is sent?"

"The obvious thing..."

If the central area of ​​the Land of Winds is completely transformed into fertile soil for the development of agriculture, it will support tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of residents. Even though the total population may be less than one percent, this trend is obvious. .

How many people are there in the Land of Winds today?

A little over 3000 million, this is the statistic after repelling Yanyin Village and regaining the lost land in the north.

The land in front of him, showing its vitality, was obtained by Sha Ren from the hands of the daimyo with various benefits.

As a result, Sha Ren made a toss and told the outside world that this place can support three times more people than the current population of the entire country of wind. What do you want the daimyo to think?

The subject and the guest are shifted, the Tai A is upside down, and the following words can be used.

The government supported by the daimyo gets its name, manages the secular world, the ninja village benefits, and is in charge of military equipment. The system of one village, one country was implemented by Konoha Village, which was jointly established by Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. It has been maintained for more than 60 years. Today In the Kingdom of Wind, there seems to be a tendency to collapse.

Gaara thought about it for a while and asked Daimaru:

"We must give an explanation to reassure the daimyo..."

"Impossible..."

Daimaru laughed and said,

"Actually, we, Sand Shinobi, have already exceeded the bottom line allowed by the daimyo. The population in Sandyin Village has not grown much, but the development of Awaji Village on the south coast, and the settlements on those islands at sea, its potential is very unusual. , if in Naruto Village across from the Jiahai Sea..."

Close to the Land of Earth, the Land of Rain, and the Land of Chuan are not bad areas, but only barely able to live in, the food self-sufficiency rate is low, and because it is closer to the border, it can easily import foreign resources, which makes it appear more inland than inland. Prosper a little.

In the traditional areas controlled by the daimyo, Sand Shinobi only displayed military power and did not participate in civil affairs.

The sand ninjas were successfully developed on the south coast and only after they mastered the Naruto village did they begin to have room for maneuver. In the past, there were tens of thousands of people in the headquarters of the sand hidden village, and the selection of materials was terribly narrow.

In fact, the situation has changed a long time ago, but Awaji Village is far away in the south. It belongs to the traditional barren land and is not taken seriously. Naruto Village is even an enclave.

Because the rise time was short, the daimyo and the government did not know the real power of the newly-administered land in Shayin Village, so they did not take it to heart.

Until now, a snow-capped plateau rising from the ground completely broke the original balance and stability.

Gaara shook her head:

"I didn't come to listen to you boast about the great achievements of the 'Sand of the Red' uncle. If this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid that the country of wind will break out into a civil war and split before the time when Sand Ninja and Konoha Village will compete. already."

"The current name of the Land of Winds is a naive guy with ideals..."

Daimaru replied,

"As long as you go down a step, you won't be overly concerned..."

"Daimyo may be easy to persuade, but it's almost impossible for his ministers and nobles to be all idiots. You can't expect them to do nothing in the face of tangible threats..."

"Then what do you mean, give our Sha Ren's hope to those noble people who can only sing poetry and write right?"

Daimaru pointed to the hot scene outside and said sarcastically,

"In our country of wind, the contradiction between the daimyo and the shadow is no less than that of other countries. There are fewer conflicts because of poverty and lack of strength to fight for power and profit. Even if we win, the benefits are limited..."

The "cake" is so big, even if you grab it all, it's still the same, and it's not worth the risk to break the original tacit understanding.

Now that the "cake" has become bigger, even if it is not completely cooked, it has attracted the greedy eyes of many people.

Daimaru restrained his frivolous smile and said leisurely:

"The secret battle between the Fire Nation's Daimyo and Naruto over 'jade' has been going on for many years. We Sand Ninja want to move forward, and some thorns on the way forward are unavoidable..."

Some of the daimyo's guards in the Land of Winds were recommended by Shayin Village, and even a few were the confidants assigned by Fengying. The individual Shainin within Shayin Village was the eyes, eyes and spokesperson of daimyo.

Such a scene is unimaginable in the country of fire.

Supporting each other, fighting without breaking, and even giving appropriate convenience is the tradition of the wind and the wind, and this tacit understanding may cease to exist as the strength of Shayin Village increases.

"what do you mean……"

Gaara's heart trembled, and she was a little surprised to see Daimaru's expected expression.

"Like you, I actually hate pointless fights, but it is absolutely impossible to stop myself from moving forward because I am concerned about others..."

After a pause, Daimaru continued to explain:

"On the way of growth, it is impossible to have only blessings and praises, but also curses and trials. The daimyo needs to be appeased, but there is no need to worry too much. Even if a war breaks out, so what? Even Konoha Village, in order to maintain the order of one village and one country, To interfere with the whole ninja world, we have to fight it first, and it is impossible to send a few messengers and righteous names to let us give up our interests..."

"War... A lot of people will die!"

Daimaru said calmly:

"If there is no war, many people will die every day. Now, we must not show the attitude of fear of war and fear of the dead, otherwise it will be difficult to advance later..."

In the real fight, it is not difficult to overthrow the daimyo with the power of Sand Ninja, the trouble is the follow-up.

One village and one country is an international rule and order recognized by the whole ninja world. Even if a wandering ninja steals the power of a small country, it must be done secretly. Once exposed, it will cause interference. In the previous years, the country of birds was assassinated because of the big name. , the authority was subverted, the exiled nobles came to Shayin Village to issue a mission, and Sha Nin went to clear up and help restore the country.

Once Shayin Village flipped the table and tore off the figurine of the daimyo, it was not a certain Genin squad who came to be "accountable", but a serious ninja army.

"Negotiations can continue, send some dim-eyed elder to perfunctory, and attention from abroad must be treated with caution, do not admit all accusations, do not express positions, do not oppose all proposals, do not take responsibility for anything, try to delay until the fourth ninja war. The outbreak, as for the post-war order, I will talk about it when the time comes, even if I really want to spit out some benefits, it can be used as a necessary bargaining chip, and I will be responsible at that time to ensure that I will not suffer any losses..."

"What if it doesn't work?"

"Then fight..."

Daimaru replied calmly,

"We Sand Ren are not good-tempered people in the first place. As for the extent of the fight, it's hard to say. I personally tend to prolong the war..."

"Isn't that going to implicate many innocent people?"

Gaara's face was a little unsightly, and once the entire country of wind was in chaos, it would run counter to his thoughts.

Daimaru smiled and replied:

"You think too much. When the war begins, the daimyo can have the final say, but it is up to him how to fight and how to end it! Have you ever heard of the term 'sit-in war'?"

Even if the face is really torn, it is not Shayin Village that suffers the most damage.

Other countries are okay, even if there are no ninjas, then playing music and dancing will not have much impact. In a region with harsh environments like the Land of Wind, if there is no extraordinary power mastered by ninjas to help civilians tide over the difficulties, I am afraid that the famine will be extreme. In a short period of time, the entire country will be swept across, and it is estimated that the daimyo's clothing, food, housing and transportation will not be guaranteed, and the so-called rule will be completely disintegrated.

"I love Luo, you haven't realized that the true basis of our Sha Ninja, Sha Yin Village is in a subordinate position in terms of political status, but in fact, the degree of mastery of the country is much deeper than that of the other four major countries, why do we Don't care too much about the infiltration of the daimyo and the government into Shayin Village? Sha Ren will have a tougher life without the daimyo, but without the support of Kazekage, even the position is not stable. In the last ninja war, daimyo could Pressing us to give up [-]% of the task to Konoha Village, not because he is stronger, but because our Sandyin Village was defeated..."

In the past life of Daimaru, he used foreign countries to enrich himself, raise pirates, and Fengying's behavior.

Sandyin Village is not afraid of the daimyo of the country of wind, but does not want to challenge the order of the entire ninja world.

Before they are strong enough, let alone Sand Shinobi, even Konoha ninjas would not dare to do such a thing as flipping the table, otherwise other Shinobi villages would not mind going to "presiding over justice" while the Fire Nation was too busy to take care of themselves.

Daimaru didn't take the threat of the daimyo and the government to heart, because he thought that even if it was the worst outcome, the two sides would turn against each other and meet each other. As for the daimyo, just sit back and watch "self-defeating".

The theoretical leader of the state, the big name, is offered, and the government will run with him. Sand Ren only needs to collect one-third of his own acre of land and silently reap the benefits.
