I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

"Ah."

"Then let me see what tricks those hypocritical old fogies in Konoha can pull."

"Don't underestimate the power of the Land of Hot Springs!"

Chino naturally scoffed at such a response.

Of course, she was also well aware that this was the limit of what she could achieve at the moment.

If we continue to suppress and coerce them, we will achieve nothing but war and vent our anger with the blood of Konoha ninjas on the border.

Such an event could even overshadow the moral superiority that the Land of Hot Springs originally possessed, and allow those old foxes to use the shared anger of the enemy to launch a full-scale war against them, thus diverting all the contradictions and doubts.

The situation at that time would definitely not be what I or the person behind me wanted to see.

"let's go."

With a cold glance at the Konoha garrison in her field of vision, Chino took the lead in leaving, and the blood-red dragon that had been hovering in the void also collapsed and disappeared.

However, the chakra energy and power remaining in the air still made the young Konoha ninja feel extremely apprehensive and powerless.

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

Although Konoha is strong, its neighboring countries are not stagnant forever.

Especially considering that the person in charge of this trip is such an unusually young girl, and among our peers, who, how many, can compare to her?

Within the Konoha camp, the emotions of the defenders did not ease with the temporary withdrawal of the Lightning Squad; on the contrary, they intensified.

Of course, all the questioning gazes fell on Shima Mitsuhiro, or more accurately, on the pocket where he kept a thin sheet of paper.

After glancing at those eyes, he ultimately did not dare to open the letter in public.

After all, the events involved are far too significant. If the results differ from their own thinking, or if they misunderstand and misinterpret the superior's intentions, the consequences will undoubtedly be enormous.

It could even cause fluctuations in the beliefs of our own ninjas!

Therefore, Shima Mitsuhiro only summoned a few Jonin of similar seniority to the temporary base to study how to handle the letter. He told his other companions that this was very likely another conspiracy by Kumogakure against Konoha and the Lightning Brigade, and that everyone should do their duty and remain vigilant; the higher-ups would surely give them a satisfactory answer to settle the matter.

at the same time,

The unanswered questions shattered the tranquility of the border between the Land of Frost and the Land of Hot Water.

【What's wrong? 】

【what happened? 】

[The ninjas of Kumogakure today.]

This is a private army belonging to the daimyo of the Land of Frost, and is temporarily responsible for regularly supplying the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village stationed in their country.

The same applies today.

As the sun rose into the sky, they arrived at this sensitive border outpost at their usual meeting time, carrying several truckloads of food and daily necessities.

After all, a military operation involving hundreds of ninjas is quite large, even exceeding the total number of ninjas in some small ninja villages.

However, as the soldiers were still discussing among themselves on the way, wondering why they hadn't encountered any of the visible or hidden sentries set up by the Hidden Cloud Village or their usual contact persons, the strong smell of blood and the eerie silence began to assault their senses.

Unable to find their backup after a long wait, and surrounded by strange circumstances, the soldiers, after discussing it privately, decided to venture into the restricted area designated by the Cloud Village ninja.

I also witnessed firsthand the scene that resembled a living hell!

Dark red blood stained the earth, the tattered tents marked the scene of devastation, and complete ninja tools lay scattered without a trace of damage.

What was most terrifying was that there wasn't a single person in the entire camp, nor a single skeleton. All that remained was an empty, deathly silence and endless eeriness.

What exactly happened here last night?!

A shared resonance resonated within the hearts of the soldiers of the Frost Kingdom; they longed to find an answer in each other's eyes, but found none.

Ultimately, it wasn't just a speculation that someone blurted out first.

Then all the soldiers present instinctively looked in a certain direction.

Because recently, it seems that only that place has been in conflict with Kumogakure, no, not just Kumogakure, but almost all the surrounding forces, large and small!

And that place is the Land of Hot Springs!

Having figured this out, no one wanted to stay any longer.

Even the food and daily necessities they brought were abandoned on the spot, because this place was too terrifying and too eerie. Just being there, just breathing, was enough to drive them to the brink of a nervous breakdown!

Hundreds of powerful Cloud Recluse warriors

Those are over a hundred powerful Cloud Recluse experts!

how come?

How could this happen!!

however,

At this moment, the most bewildered and fearful of the soldiers of the Frost Kingdom are those of the Iron Kingdom.

The southern defense line was covered with explosive tags by mysterious infiltrators overnight and was completely reduced to a vast expanse of ruins.

what is this?

This is the most direct and clearest warning!

According to reports from the samurai who experienced this horrific incident, the powerful infiltrator could have detonated the explosive tags before the army was far from the camp!

The horrific consequences are unimaginable!

It would be far more than just the injuries caused by a few dozen samurai bumping into each other during the retreat!

[This is Uchiha no Mizu's Body Flicker Technique.]

[The mastermind behind the Land of Hot Springs is indeed that young man.]

[A matter concerning Konoha itself, a matter between ninjas, has somehow drawn the attention of the Land of Iron!]

Those old bastards are really getting more and more outrageous!!

At the same time, Admiral Mifune, who had gathered all the information, deduced and summarized the entire incident.

Those are those old foxes from Konoha.

In particular, Shimura Danzo, who appeared in the correspondence, in order to eliminate the potential threat posed by his own ninjas, lured Sasakuma Hiroshi with promises of future promotion, thus dragging the Land of Iron into the mess.

Thinking of this, the old man Mifune felt an unbearable throbbing pain in his heart.

Ninja, ninja!

Samurai who had long ago drawn a line, refusing to get involved in ninja conflicts, were still outmaneuvered by those ninjas and dragged into a huge conspiracy. Moreover, the selfish desires of those bastards led to the deaths of thousands of samurai!

Thinking of this, Mifune Sōsō clenched his fists and slammed them hard onto the ground.

Instantly, the crisp sound of the floor cracking was accompanied by drops of blood splattering down.

Moreover, the most important thing right now is not the grief over the loss of a comrade.

It was this dramatic drop in morale, and the courage and will of the entire nation to continue to consider themselves warriors.

The warning from that boy, though it didn't directly harm anyone, was a heavy blow to the declining samurai way!

It was even pushed to the brink of collapse!

Thousands of elite warriors

How could anyone not be alarmed and terrified if someone could enter and leave an uninhabited area by themselves?

"General, what should we do?"

Chongjie and Rikkaku knelt in the same room, their faces no longer showing their usual calm and composure.

all of these,

All of this reminded the entire Land of Hot Water of the past, of the days when they were ruled by Hanzo the Salamander!

During that period,

The mere mention of that demigod's name would terrify the warriors of the entire Iron Kingdom, causing them to abandon their armor and weapons.

Now, the fact that the unknown ninja was able to break through the samurai's defenses silently and place several intimidating explosive tags on each tent proves that he can easily destroy a samurai legion, or even the entire Land of Iron!

After a long silence, the commander-in-chief of Mifune took a deep breath.

"Issue my decree: all the Konoha spies captured in the past two days shall be publicly executed."

"Make public all the charges against Shimura Danzo, a high-ranking official of Konoha, for sowing discord between the Land of Iron and the Land of Hot Water."

"Silence all those who knew about last night's events. Attribute the cause to Shimura Danzo's attempt to continue instigating war between the two countries, thereby inciting the crimes committed by spies planted in the army!"

This is a last resort.

According to the conventions of the ninja world, he should inform Konoha of the existence of these spies in exchange for some benefits or compensation.

But not now.

The threat from the Land of Hot Springs is clear: it's a warning to us, a test of our attitude towards this matter!

It can no longer act according to usual practices.

Otherwise, the other party will only think that the Land of Iron's attitude in this incident is ambiguous.

Of course, Uchiha Ara's identity cannot be revealed.

This would undoubtedly lead to even more terrifying consequences.

Moreover, he didn't need to name names; he simply used their own methods against them, and that was his response to Konoha!

Of course, the most important point is that I am already old.

In this vast country, there is no one else who can face 'Hanzo the Salamander' without backing down.

The inner corner is not good enough, and the punching is not good enough either.

Therefore, they had no choice but to compromise and draw a clear line.

"Finally, inform the Daimyo of the Land of Fire that if Konoha cannot provide a satisfactory explanation this time..."

"Then let's sever ties forever."

He gave his final order.

But what can such a command accomplish?
