Commander Uchiha, we respect and love you!

Chapter 142 Uchiha Kazuto's Terror
However, things did not develop as Orochimaru had imagined. The ninjas had been ruling their countries for some time and had tasted the power of authority. In particular, the Kage of each country had conducted a detailed investigation into what the previous Daimyo had done and how they had governed their countries.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. That meant they could do whatever they wanted. As long as they weighed the basic interests, kept the lowly commoners in check, and maintained basic tax revenue, the country would be basically well-governed.

What? You're saying ordinary people suffer?
What does the suffering of commoners have to do with us noble lords? Isn't it because they don't work hard enough? Is it the fault of us nobles who protect the commoners?
If it weren't for the existence of nobles like us, those commoners would have starved to death long ago. The reason these commoners are still alive is because of the existence of noble lords like us. These commoners will spend their whole lives repaying the kindness of noble lords.

Unfortunately, even so, there are still some lazy commoners who are not ambitious and do not think about their own problems. They even want to rebel against the noble and great aristocratic lords who use fat to arm themselves in order to protect these lowly commoners.

Fortunately, we have tool ninjas. When civilians rebel, we just need to issue a request and let those lowly ninjas complete it.

In short, governing a country is not as difficult as they imagine; they only need to protect the interests of the ninjas.

Now that the money issue has been resolved, why are they still targeting the Land of Fire?

So what's the benefit?

These ninjas haven't had a few good days yet, and now they have to go to war again. How can this be allowed?

"Resurrection spell? Good stuff, good stuff."

In the Valley of the Wind, Rasa looked at the sealing technique in his hand and decided to use it in the army. As for Orochimaru's talk about forming a ninja alliance to attack the Land of Fire, he just said it casually, and anyone who believed it was a fool.

During this time, his hostility towards the Land of Fire had gradually subsided. Upon closer reflection, he realized that there was no need for him to attack the Land of Fire. He had already obtained what he wanted, and the ninjas had escaped their past fate. So why fight a war?

The right path is to govern the country properly. During this time, he has been clipping the wings of those nobles, quietly getting rid of them and replacing them with his own people. According to his calculations, after a while, their daimyo might just fall into the toilet and drown like the daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Because of his good relationship with the Daimyo, he will be appointed as the successor by the Daimyo of the Valley of the Wind, becoming the new, true Daimyo of the Valley of the Wind, instead of using behind-the-scenes means to control the Daimyo and indirectly issue orders as he does now.

This was all paved by Uchiha Kazuto; all they had to do was learn from him.

Moreover, he doesn't need to worry about external reactions, because according to his investigation, the daimyo of other countries have also been controlled by their respective ninja villages, and now it is the era of ninja kingdoms.

"Uchiha Kazuto is a figure like Senju Hashirama, who ushered in a new era and single-handedly crushed the entire ninja world. How could such a monster exist in the world..."

"Rasa sighed. It wasn't just him; the Kage of other countries shared the same plan. They had absolutely no interest in attacking the Land of Fire, and besides, a united front? On what basis? Why would they want to unite?"

Without the impetus of shared interests, how could such a group possibly unite? If they were to attack the Land of Fire together, who knows if you would stab them in the back?

Orochimaru had never imagined these Kage's thoughts. After all, he had never been the highest leader of a country, or even a Kage. It was normal that he didn't know the true taste of power. Even a loyal minister who had helped the emperor establish the country would never have imagined that his former brother would turn against him and behead him as soon as he became emperor.

Orochimaru wasn't stupid; it was just that their positions were different.

"Uchiha Kazuto, those eyes of yours will soon be mine, hahaha!!!"

Orochimaru accepted the memories of his shadow clones, and the thought that he only needed to wait a while to flatten the Land of Fire and seize Uchiha Kazuto's eyes made even him laugh out loud.

If you ask why, it's because they've also acquired resurrection magic.

What Orochimaru didn't know was that if Uchiha Kazuto knew they had obtained this resurrection technique, they would be terrified. This was an outdated and imperfect technology. A true resurrection technique only requires a soul to revive; it doesn't need any physical tissue. This technique simply made resurrection easier.

Orochimaru not only obtained an outdated technology, but also a flawed one. This technology relies on the Pure Land for its existence, making it extremely unstable. Perhaps one day the Sage of Six Paths will fix the bug that allows people in reality to freely summon souls from the Pure Land, at which point the technology will be rendered useless.

Only resurrection techniques using a modified Grim Reaper as a vessel represent the future and the ability to truly control the soul.

In addition, the Land of Fire has already achieved automation. The principle of this technology can be said to be semi-obsolete, but the way it is used has long been obsolete. The Land of Fire has long established a complete fully automated resurrection process, from the recovery of the soul to the processing and reshaping of the body, and the input of the soul, all of which are completed by machines.

The entire process requires no human intervention, while the resurrection technique Orochimaru obtained requires manual operation throughout. It involves manually summoning the soul, manually processing the body, manually cultivating the embryo, and manually releasing the body-accelerating ninjutsu. Most importantly, the technology is not in his own hands, and whether it can be used depends entirely on whether the programmer discovers any loopholes.

How could this not terrify Uchiha Kazuto? After all, as the saying goes, the older the better. If Orochimaru and his people, who possess this ancient technology that is on the verge of being phased out, were to fully utilize it, they might be able to easily defeat the Land of Fire.

After all, the older something is, the stronger it is. Just like how stones thrown by primitive people can bring down advanced spaceships of the future, how fire-making by friction is more efficient than a lighter, and how ancient bows and arrows are more powerful than machine guns, these are all quite normal things.

if not?
Is it really easier to start a fire using a lighter than to start one by rubbing sticks together?
That's not true; old things aren't always the best. In reality...
