In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 346 Luo Sha's Resentment

Afterwards, Shimizu pulled Tsurugaya Kyuichi, who was unable to move, and cut a hole in the ice prison with a sword that was large enough for two people to pass through. He summoned several other puppets, dragged the young ninjas of the Tsurugaya clan, and got out.

Now he didn't have to worry about Tsurutani Kyuichi controlling the explosive flying insects to attack other people.

Not to mention whether this old man can still control these explosive flying insects after being sealed. Even if he can, he can't find the target.

Because the war outside has ended now.

Without Tsurutani Kyuichi, this group of rebellious and wandering ninjas were shattered by a charge from the Sand Village ninjas.

Now more than 80% of the members have been killed or captured alive. The remaining small number of people with considerable strength are fleeing hastily to the west and are now being hunted down by Ye Cang and his reserve troops.

The area within a thousand meters around Qingshui and Tsurutani Hisaichi has been cleared.

Knowing the latter's abilities in advance, Feng Shang Qianlan, as the commander, would naturally make such a deployment.

Shortly after the two men walked out of the ice prison, continuous explosions began to sound inside the ice prison.

The crisp sound of ice cracking was heard, and Tsurugaya Kyuichi, who was held by Qingshui, could not help but speed up his pace.

The blue jerboa stood in place, tirelessly continuing to release freeze rays and freezing bombs.

Its mouth and shoulders are freeze ray launchers, and there is a 4×8 grenade launcher neatly arranged on the back, which can effectively freeze a large area.

Like the White Samurai, the Blue Jerboa's bomb bay is connected to a psychic seal, which connects to a warehouse full of relevant ammunition.

Qingshui also built a small puppet fully automated production line in his own warehouse. As long as the sensors in the warehouse detect that the related weapons made with coolant have been taken away, the raw materials will be automatically put into the production line for production replenishment.

Regarding this coolant production line, there is also a similar one in the puppet army, which is classified as confidential by the Sand Village. The freezing bomb is listed as a strategic material that is half a level higher than the detonating tag.

The reason why production has not been further expanded is that the material acquisition method and extraction process of this thing are not mature enough, which limits production capacity.

After all, detonating tags have a long history of development and production in the ninja world. Even the pulp logs used as raw materials have special tree farms for their production.

With a large number of freezing bombs strengthening the ice prison, the power of the explosion of the flying insects inside was suppressed to a great extent. Shimizu and others only needed to walk to a place dozens of meters away from the ice prison, perform two defensive ninjutsu to block the flying ice fragments, and they would be safe.

"Old man, you should know why we spared your life and those others' lives, right?"

"Then can this old man still survive?"

Tsurugaya Kyuichi spoke.

"It depends on your cooperation."

It is possible to survive, after all, this old man's ninjutsu is of great value.

But the freedom of him and his younger generations for the rest of their lives will definitely be greatly restricted.

Even if they get married and have children in the Sand Village in the future and form a bond, they will still be subject to a certain degree of surveillance and it is impossible for them to receive the same treatment as the Blood Pond Clan.

Perhaps decades later, when they die and grow old, their descendants who remain in the Sand Village will inherit these insect-controlling techniques and will be truly accepted by the Sand Village.

If you can show a certain value, you can also become an esoteric ninja like Konoha's Aburame and Inuzuka.

"Next, it depends on the capital."

Shimizu looked at the several members of the Tsuruga clan who were being escorted away by the Sealing Squad and the Interrogation Squad, then turned to look in the direction of the capital.

at the same time.

In the palace, blood flowed like a river and gold sand surged.

The contemporary daimyo touched the blood splattered on his face in a daze, and looked with fear at the figure standing in the golden waves at the door of the hall.

"Luo Sha...you, shouldn't you be dead?"

"It seems that the daimyo really wants me dead. It's a pity that those bugs couldn't kill me."

Luo Sha had a gloomy face and stepped on the golden dust clouds and flew in front of the daimyo.

"Gudu."

Daimyo swallowed his saliva, his fat body shaking constantly.

For the first time since he was born, he experienced the fear of death.

"Luo Sha, I am glad that you are still alive. I was wrong before. So, if you let me go, I will let you be the Fourth Kazekage."

The fat daimyo stood up from the throne, opened his arms towards Luosha, and forced a smile at Luosha.

"It's too late, Lord Daimyo."

Luo Sha lowered his eyes, as if the daimyo's words had aroused his unhappiness.

"When you decided to give the military funds to those losers, it means that you have lost your value to the village. The succession of the Kazekage does not need to be judged by worthless people."

He no longer has the chance to inherit the Fengying!
If it weren't for the trouble caused by the daimyo, why would he have been seriously injured and had to rely on his competitors to save himself?
"No, I am still valuable! I have a lot of money. Not to mention one year's military expenses, I can even provide ten or twenty years' military expenses. If it's still not enough, I can increase taxes. And those ministers can always help me get money. I can give you half of it!"

The daimyo was frightened by Luo Sha's increasingly ferocious expression and sat back on the throne.

"Humph, I've told you, Lord Daimyo, you are no longer valuable. Everything in the capital, whether it's yours or the private property of those nobles, or the gold and silver in the national treasury, is ours."

Long, thin golden needles were formed by the condensation of gold sand and slowly approached the daimyo.

"Luo Sha, stop it first."

An old voice sounded, and Hai Lao Zang, surrounded by nine puppets, walked into the palace.

Ebizo is a low-key person and he doesn't take action often, but his strength is definitely not bad. His puppet manipulation ability is only slightly worse than Chiyo's. Although the puppets he uses are not from the Chikamatsu Juninshu, they are also top-notch puppets carefully made by him. His overall strength has firmly stepped into the threshold of Kage level.

“You can kill those nobles, but you still have to save the life of the daimyo. At least after the next daimyo is elected, he can die for other legitimate reasons.

Only in this way can we naturally take over the power of the daimyo."

Ebizo looked at the Daimyo who was so scared that he had wet his pants, and said to Rasa.

"I see. This means that he still has some value left."

Luo Sha slowly retracted the long gold needle, glanced at Daimyo with disdain, and turned away.

"Hai, Elder Ebizo, what exactly do you, the Sand Village, want to do?"

The Daimyo stammered.

"You should know clearly what we want to do, Lord Daimyo. After all, you forced us to do this step by step. If you did not cut military spending and indulged in pleasure all day, the Sand Village would not have dug a canal for the development of the village, developed new puppetry and other ways to bring wealth.

When we created this wealth with our own wisdom and hands, you guys wanted to take it away, and even went a step further, wanting to create an organization to replace the Sand Village. Then all the ninjas in the Sand Village would not agree, and if we don't agree, you are still aggressive, then we have no choice but to stand against you.

All of this is your fault because of your and those nobles' greed."

Ebizo looked at the daimyo with a mocking look.

He has disliked this daimyo since the first time he cut the military spending of the Sand Village many years ago.

This dislike quickly turned into disgust.

"But, but no matter what, a ninja should not attack the daimyo! This is a contract made by the first Kage of each village and the daimyo of the time!"

Daimyo is about to cry.

This idiot really didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"Damian, in the world of ninja, there is a saying that contracts are meant to be broken.

And the one who tore up this contract in the first place was you..."

Ebizo stretched out his skinny hand and patted the daimyo's fat face.

"Next, I say, you do it, understand? If you are unwilling to cooperate, we will use ninjutsu to extract your memory, and then find a ninja who is good at transformation to become your appearance and do it."

"I do it, I do it!"

Daimyo said repeatedly.

……

……

Let’s turn our attention back to another battlefield.

A ninja from the Sand Village was cleaning the battlefield, trying to find valuable items.

After completing the statistics, Feng Shang Qianlan reported the results of the battle to Qingshui.

Because the quality of these daimyo's guardian ninjas varies greatly and their average strength is low, even if they send out their high-end combat forces, the average combat strength of the Sand Village ninjas is more than three times that of the opponent.

With proper tactical arrangements, there were only a few casualties.

In this battle, more than four hundred guardian ninjas died, and more than two hundred were captured alive.

The rest are those rebel ninjas who are relatively strong and have certain battlefield experience. After seeing that things were not going well, they chose to break out and are now being hunted down by Ye Cang.

This is expected to take quite some time.

However, Ye Cang's strength is there, and he can easily deal with opponents below the level of Kage. If he encounters strong people above the level of Kage, most of them can also fight.

In the current Wind Kingdom, we should not encounter enemies of that level.

One day later.

All members of the Guardians have been eliminated, either killed or captured.

A small number of rebellious ninjas from the five major ninja villages were all imprisoned in the Sand Village prison, awaiting interrogation and even memory searches.

Even if we are not sure whether these people are real defectors or fake defectors, their origins cannot be false, and they will more or less have some information about other ninja villages.

In the capital, Luo Sha became murderous and killed many nobles.

Without exception, these people were the ones who had thought about and taken action to seize the financial resources opened up by the Sand Village, such as the canal.

It was these people who encouraged the daimyo to cut military spending, or even not provide any military spending, and use the money to form the daimyo guardian-shu.

These people have already offended the Sand Village badly. Even if they want to retreat, the Sand Village is unwilling to agree. So they simply let Rasa do it, killing them and then confiscating their properties.

There is no need to win over or attack the remaining group of people.

Because there were no more targets to attack, everyone was afraid that these ninjas, who they used to regard as tools, would come to kill them, so they were very obedient.

So now the capital is under strict martial law to prevent people with ulterior motives from causing trouble, but under the leadership of Ebizo, the overall situation returned to calm in just one day.

What the Sand Village has to do next is to depose and enthrone the daimyo, allowing this daimyo who has done so many disgusting things to go to the Pure Land to accompany the Six Paths Sage, and then use the new daimyo controlled by the Sand Village to concentrate all the power of the country in the ninja village.

In the plan that Shimizu made for the Third Kazekage, the Sand Village will replace the daimyo's government agencies and become the political organization of the Wind Country, undermining the daimyo's power and turning him into a puppet in the political sense.

This political system that ruled the country by establishing a military armed class that replaced the feudal monarch and made the power of the organization above that of the monarch is often called the shogunate system.

Regarding this area, Qingshui has a lot of information to refer to.

It’s not that we can’t go further.

Completely eliminating the political influence of the daimyo system can indeed be considered an advancement in the political system, but institutional reforms in any era will be affected by the environment of the time and cannot be solved by one or two leaders with a long-term vision.

This is also the reason why many reforms and even revolutions in history were not thorough enough.

From a historical perspective, this is actually correct.

Because overly radical reforms often lead to excessive backlash, the final outcome of which is the death of people and the collapse of the government is usually a good thing.

In the extraordinary world with ninjas, you can be moderately radical, but you have to find the right balance.

Although the Sand Village is strong now, it is not strong enough to compete with the entire ninja world with the strength of one village.

So they had to retain something as symbolic as the "daimyo".

This will also make it easier for them to accept the political legacy of the daimyo regime and build a new management system more effectively.

Eat your food one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

Before he possessed the unrivaled strength of Hashirama Senju, Shimizu would not have thought of reaching the top overnight.

The shogunate system is the most suitable system for the Sand Village to rule the Wind Country, and it is also a more suitable transition to the next system.

It's just that the current daimyo used unclean means to come to power. He killed all his adult brothers and imprisoned the remaining minors. More than a year ago, Ebizo and Rasa rescued some of them and secretly supported the rebel force that is the current daimyo.

It is basically certain that the next daimyo will be chosen from among these people.

Now these people are hiding in remote places in the Kingdom of Wind. Since they are all ordinary people, it will take several days to bring them back to the capital.
