Chapter 163 What's the point of fighting?
The defeat of the coalition of the five major ninja villages spread across the entire ninja world at the speed of a hurricane. Almost everyone, no matter how remote the place, had heard about it.
Tangyin Village.
In a hot spring hotel, several civilians who were obviously drunk were lying in the hot spring, chatting incoherently.
"I really... I never thought that the Tea Country could actually resist the coalition forces of the five major ninja villages."
A plump civilian said:
"I want to live in the Tea Kingdom. It's really unfair here."
"Who said it wasn't, hiccup."
Another dark and strong man said:
"My neighbor next door was beaten up today because he accidentally contradicted a ninja from the Land of Earth. Even after reporting it to the higher-ups in our village, no one was willing to speak out."
"That's good enough."
A slightly thinner man with a full beard said:
"My wife's neighbor in her hometown had a beautiful wife, and ended up being spotted by a ninja from the Land of Lightning. That led to her death. Tsk tsk tsk, the family of three, the child and the man died, leaving only the woman. I heard she went crazy, too."
The man trembled all over and buried himself in deeper water, as if only this could bring himself warmth and a sense of security.
"And then what? Didn't anyone step up and do something?"
The fat white man asked curiously.
"Tsk, what can we do? Even our own top management doesn't value us. All they want is to make more money. Do you expect them to care about our life or death?"
The dark and strong man said disdainfully:
"The higher-ups don't care about the lives of the people below. The ninjas from the big ninja villages can bully us as they please. I really hope that the Tea Kingdom can occupy us, so that we won't be bullied like this anymore."
The man murmured, and the others also began to think about it. For a moment, the only sound in the entire hot spring was the sound of flowing water.
The land of rain.
Looking at the information he had just obtained, Salamander Hanzo fell into silence for a long time.
Regarding the battle in the Tea Kingdom, he can be regarded as one of the people who pays the most attention. His thoughts are very contradictory. He hopes that the Tea Kingdom can win, but he also wants the Tea Kingdom to fail.
Ever since he provoked the war that swept across the entire Rain Country due to his youth, and it ended with the complete defeat of the Rain Country, he has always believed that the five major ninja villages are invincible.
His rebellious spirit gradually sank.
Therefore, he believed that the Tea Kingdom led by Lu Lin and his own Rain Kingdom were actually the same. As long as they attracted the attention of the five major countries, defeat was only a matter of time.
But now, the Tea Kingdom not only withstood the siege, but even won a huge victory. This made his heart, which had been calm for many years, seem to beat again. It seemed that the five major ninja villages were not as irresistible as he thought.
"The Land of Tea, Hidden Sky Village, Uchiha Lulin..."
He silently recited a few names, his eyes lifeless as he looked at the increasingly prosperous Yuyin Village below, and at the villagers with smiling faces below, his eyes gradually became firm:
"Even if it's just to make the villagers' lives a little better?"
Hanzo's heartbeat became more intense. He felt that his old body was once again full of vitality.
"Then let this old man's half-broken body make use of its remaining energy for one last time!"
The next day, a piece of news spread throughout the Ninja World: [The Rain Country has officially stood beside the Tea Country and will advance and retreat together with the Tea Country! ]
And at the end of this statement, there is a name, a name that was once a legend in the ninja world: the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander.
Faced with the defeat in this war, the five major countries all had their own considerations.
"So, you're saying that the Tea Country and Konoha joined forces to come up with this conspiracy?"
The capital of the Land of Thunder, the residence of the daimyo.
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning held a fan in his hand and looked at the current Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village with confusion.
"Yes."
Ai nodded, eyes full of determination:
"Before our people retreated, they clearly saw Konoha's chief commander, Orochimaru, walking with the ninjas from the Hidden Sky Village."
"That's it..."
A daimyo who is able to control one of the five major countries and possesses most of the country's wealth, even if he does not know much about the power of ninjas, his scheming is definitely top-notch.
Facing the words of the Raikage, he did not fully believe them at first:
"So, we only saw the figure of Konoha's commander-in-chief, but there is no solid evidence to prove that Konoha is indeed cooperating with the Tea Country, right?"
Ai was not a simple-minded person, and he quickly understood what Daimyo meant. He was no longer as determined as before, but showed a thoughtful look:
"Perhaps the real situation is different from what we know, but we can't lose our combat power in vain this time."
Even if those combat forces are not the main force.
The Raikage muttered silently in his mind.
"So what do you think we should do?"
The Daimyo sensed the Raikage's thoughts and followed his words.
"Konoha and the Tea Country must have a conspiracy, so a large part of the losses of this war must be borne by Konoha!"
As if sensing the Daimyo's hesitation, the Raikage added:
"You are attracted by several treasures of the Fire Nation Daimyo, right? We can add those treasures to the compensation when the time comes."
The daimyo's eyes lit up, and his heart was moved by the Raikage's words:
"Okay, I'll make a statement right away."
"Wait for now."
Ai stopped Daimyo and continued:
"We can discuss this with the daimyo of several other countries first. This way, with four major countries putting pressure on the Fire Nation at the same time, they will naturally agree to compensation easily."
Similar scenes were repeated in the residences of daimyo in several other countries. The affairs of the Tea Kingdom could be put aside for the time being, but the losses must be recovered.
At this time, the Fire Country, who was still unaware of all this, looked at the people from Konoha with an unhappy look on his face:
"The coalition forces of five countries failed to conquer the Tea Kingdom. I am very disappointed."
Nara Shikaku gave a bitter smile, he didn't want to come, but... Orochimaru's defection was really too serious, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to deal with everything about Orochimaru in the village.
"Sir, I never expected that the power accumulated by the Tea Country would be so strong."
"Oh? Could it be that Uchiha Lulin has already possessed the demeanor of the former God of the Ninja World?"
He grew up listening to the stories of Hashirama, and he understood that the reason his family could serve as nobles in the Land of Fire and achieve the position of daimyo was entirely because of this God of the Ninja World.
If that Uchiha Lu Lin really has the strength of the God of Ninja World, then what's the point of fighting?
