Chapter 260 Shadow's Strong Command, Tailed Beast Ball and Tsunami

"In addition to the matter of Konoha Village, there is also trouble with Iwagakure Village. The bandits have recently sent a number of ninjas into our country to rob money..."

Liuyun sat in the first seat and listened quietly. His eyes, one black and one gray, were as still as a pool of stagnant water. He did not turn his gaze to the Daimyo of Tianzhikuni until everyone had reported the recent difficult issues.

"Regarding the issue of protection money, the reason you came to me must be that you don't want to pay it. In that case, you should respond to Konoha and say that the Hidden Sound Village has been built and has the ability to protect itself, and no longer needs Konoha's protection..."

Daimyo of Tianzhikuni nodded upon hearing this, but his expression was still somewhat anxious and uneasy. Seeing this, Liuyun could not help but speak lightly:

"Go ahead. Konoha is currently in a fierce battle with the Wind Country and has no time to spare. If they dare to cause trouble, I will take action."

Liuyun felt that Konoha would most likely not attack the Hidden Sound Village at this time, and at most would just intimidate and threaten. Unless the Fire and Wind Nations could decide the winner, Konoha would be able to free up its hands to deal with the affairs of the Hidden Sound Village. Otherwise, it would most likely end up in nothing.

Hearing Liuyun's promise, Daimyo of Tianzhikuni straightened his back instantly, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on his face.

"As for the trouble in the Hidden Rock Village, Kurochu Raiga, you lead a few great ninja swords, two jonin, and a number of mid- and low-level ninjas to wipe out those bandit ninjas. Kill all the Iwagakure ninjas who resist. If enough people die, I don't think that Ōnoki will dare to send anyone over."

Liuyun once again issued a tough order. Everyone present couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they heard it. Then they saw Hei Chu Lei Ya hurriedly stood up and took on this difficult task.

"Will this anger the bandits? I'm afraid they'll become desperate and do something desperate..."

The Daimyo of the Land of Rice spoke in a low voice. After all, he was just the Daimyo of a small country. He was very afraid that the Land of Earth would use this as an excuse to wage war against the Land of Rice, especially now that they had taken the initiative to terminate their cooperative relationship with Konoha.

"Blindly tolerating will only allow the enemy to become more aggressive and intensify. Cowardice cannot solve any problem." Liuyun said and glanced at him coldly.

To deal with the bandits from the Land Country, it was not feasible to follow the policy of the Daimyo of the Land Country that he did not dare to offend anyone, and he was too lazy to listen to his subordinates' reports on this matter.

"Since... if that's the case, then let's go ahead and do it... Lord Shadow is right, when dealing with those bandits, we should really kill one to warn the rest..."

The Daimyo of Tianzhikuni gave a wry laugh and quickly agreed. At this point he could only trust Liuyun's decision. The strength of this Lord Shadow was worth his gamble on the fate of the country.

"If you encounter an enemy that you cannot resolve, you can come to me at any time. As for other trivial matters, you can handle them on yourselves." Liuyun said as he stood up and left.

"Yes!"

Several high-ranking officials of Otogakure Village, including the daimyo, stood up and nodded at this moment.

Liuyun is the shadow of the Yinyin Village. He said that he is only responsible for helping the village defend against enemies. He doesn't care about other trivial matters and he can't take care of them.

With the support of this top master of the time, this relatively weak ninja village also became tough at this moment. They first refused to pay any protection fees to Konoha Village, and then raised their butcher knives against the bandits of Iwagakure Village in the territory!

This tough stance actually temporarily intimidated the Fire and Earth Kingdoms. The expected "cornered dog jumping over the wall" did not occur. After making a few harsh words, Konoha transferred all the ninjas in the Land of Rice back to Konoha.

They seemed to know that the Land of Rice was being robbed and harassed by the Land of Earth, and the move to withdraw the ninjas was obviously intended to make the Land of Rice suffer more. They did not think that the Land of Rice had the ability to drive away those bandits on its own, and that they would eventually have to ask Konoha for help. They firmly believed in this and were prepared to make the Land of Rice bleed heavily.

In fact, with the help of Ryukumo, the Hidden Sound Village has already possessed a certain scale of combat capabilities, but this power has not yet been displayed in the open, which led to Konoha's misjudgment.

As long as the Land of Earth does not launch a full-scale war against the Land of Field, the Hidden Sound Village will still be able to resist the looting and invasion of the Hidden Stone Village on its own.

Three days later.

"Lord Shadow, most of the bandits who invaded the Land of Rice have been killed, and the remaining Rock Ninjas seem to have received orders to retreat. Now the Land of Rice has returned to peace, but..."

Hei Chu Lei Ya first reported his work to Liu Yun and said that the task had been completed, but then he raised a new big problem.

"But according to the latest intelligence we have received, the Land of Earth has gathered more Rock Ninjas at the port. They are likely to launch a larger-scale invasion against us, and may even declare a formal war on us..."

Hei Chu Lei Ya felt that if the two countries really went to war, with the current capabilities of Tian Kingdom, there would be a great risk of the country being destroyed.

There are two countries between the Land of Earth and the Land of Field, one of which is the powerful Takigakure, so the Land of Earth has no way to invade the Land of Field by land. They can only take the water route from beginning to end.

In addition, the cost of water transportation is lower, which actually makes it more convenient for the Earth Kingdom to transport the stolen goods.

Liuyun remained silent after hearing the news. His eyes were fixed on a huge map, and a plan quietly emerged in his mind.

"Pass my order to withdraw all the intelligence personnel near this port. All remaining problems will be solved by me personally."

Liuyun raised his hand and pointed to a port on the map. It was the largest "bridgehead" for the Land Country to attack the Field Country. He planned to go there and personally eliminate this trouble!

Late one night two days later.

A violent and shocking explosion occurred at the largest deep-water port in the Land of Earth. Huge waves swept over a large area of ​​docks near the port. A large number of ships were destroyed by the explosion and tsunami, and the Iwagakure Village therefore held an emergency high-level meeting.

"The Pacific Port seems to have been attacked by the Tailed Beast Ball..."

"That kind of explosion and tsunami is definitely not something that human power can do, and there are no signs beforehand. Only the tailed beasts can do that!"

At the high-level meeting of the Iwagakure Village, a senior intelligence officer reported to the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki the situation of the bombed port and some of his own judgments.

"Are you sure it's the Tailed Beast Ball?" Ohnoki's face was gloomy, and there were hideous blue veins on his forehead.

"Based on the power of the explosive and the specific range of the explosion, it is initially determined to be the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball... As for the formation of the tsunami, we are still investigating the specific cause..."

In such a high-level meeting, since he dared to say that it was most likely the tailed beasts that attacked the port, it was most likely true and had been verified through preliminary investigation.

"Damn it, which big country launched this attack? Do they want to start an all-out war?" Someone slammed the table and shouted angrily.

Behind every tailed beast stands a big country. If it was really the tailed beasts that attacked their ports, it would prove that a big country had declared war on them without declaring war!
