Chapter 435 Tetsuya: Let the Bullets Fly for a While
Chapter 435 Tetsuya: Let the Bullets Fly for a While
The federal capital, the residence of the head of state.
Back home, Tetsuya summoned the salamander god.
"Shinta, how's the situation I asked you to keep an eye on?"
Sanshoyu Shinta immediately reported.
"My lord, since the outbreak of the Ninja War, people from all the major Ninja Villages have emptied their coffers to participate in the war."
Because Konoha was fighting a defensive war, it practically emptied its coffers to deal with the combined forces of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure.
Judging from the appearance, Konoha's ninja force has likely suffered a significant decline after such a battle.
Similarly, in order to completely conquer Konoha, Kumogakure mobilized almost its entire force, and its losses were no less than those of Konoha.
Then there's Sunagakure...
The situation of the major ninja villages was thoroughly investigated by Shinta. Basically, it can be said that the five major ninja villages have been crippled after this battle.
Whether the ninja village can continue to exist is still a question. After all, can a ninja village without ninjas still be called a ninja village?
“I am generally aware of these situations.”
Tetsuya waved his hand and said.
"What I want to know is the situation of the Daimyo of various countries, and how they are reacting to this ninja war?"
"My lord, the daimyo of the five great nations have a very subtle attitude toward this ninja war."
"Salamander God replied."
"The daimyo of the Land of Fire is not particularly concerned about this ninja war, or even about the situation in Konoha, as if the outcome of Konoha has nothing to do with him as the daimyo."
The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was very concerned, but he wasn't concerned about the outcome of the war. During the Ninja War, he kept sending people to inquire about the Raikage's situation, and he was particularly worried about the Raikage.
As for the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, he didn't care about the casualties in Sunagakure. In fact, he gave his subordinates the impression that he wished all five great ninja villages would be destroyed in this war.
Then there's the daimyo of the Land of Earth...
After listening to the report from the Salamander God, Tetsuya had only one feeling: these daimyo truly didn't treat ninjas as human beings. They didn't seem to care much about the ninjas from various villages fighting to the death in the ninja war.
Perhaps there are one or two people who are somewhat concerned about this ninja war, but it's for various reasons, such as their relatively good relationship with the Raikage and the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning.
What is the military status of each country?
"Well, according to our investigation, the military equipment of various countries is not strong, and it can even be said that it is somewhat weak."
After all, ever since the ninja god Hashirama Senju established the ninja villages, the military burden of the major powers has been borne by the ninja villages.
Apart from the armies left behind by various countries to guard the capital, there weren't many soldiers.
Tetsuya was not surprised by this result.
After all, in this ninja world, the borders of various countries are guarded by ninjas from ninja villages. It can be said that ninja villages have assumed the military responsibility of a country.
Even so, the relationship between the daimyo of various countries and the ninja villages is handled in a particularly delicate manner.
It's quite interesting that a country's leaders don't have direct leadership over the country's armed forces.
"Very good. Shinta, spread the news about this ninja war, focusing on the fact that Madara Uchiha killed everyone, and emphasize that the five great ninja villages are now empty."
As for the rest, just gloss over them vaguely.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Shen Da responded and turned to leave without asking why he did it.
However, as the head butler who had followed Tetsuya for so long, he probably understood Tetsuya's intentions.
He just wanted to see the reaction of the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations after learning that the Ninja Village was practically defunct.
Should we continue to subsidize the ninja villages and support them to start over, or should we take this opportunity to abolish the existence of the ninja villages altogether?
In Konoha, Tsunade and Jiraiya discussed the matter for a while and finally decided to keep it a secret for the time being.
But before they could take any action, the entire Hidden Leaf Village exploded.
Following Tetsuya's instructions, Shinta publicly revealed the details of the Ninja War online, emphasizing that Madara Uchiha killed everyone.
For a moment, everyone in Konoha felt like the sky had fallen.
They had guessed that the fighting on the front lines might be terrible, after all, Konoha had been sending back batches of wounded soldiers one after another.
I learned of the carnage on the front lines from the wounded, but I never imagined that everyone on the front lines would be wiped out.
In Konoha Village, a group of people were shouting and about to rush out.
Upon closer inspection, it was clear that all of these people were still injured.
They were the wounded soldiers who had been evacuated from the front lines. However, after learning that the entire front line had been wiped out, their first reaction was not sadness, but to organize manpower to prepare to go to the front lines.
If the enemy is still there, then they will continue to fight; if the enemy has left, then they will collect the bodies of the dead and bring them back to Konoha for burial.
However, the villagers of Konoha stopped them from going to the front lines.
One reason is that they were all seriously injured and could not exert much combat power even if they went to the front line.
Another reason is that, in the eyes of everyone in Konoha, they are Konoha's last hope. The reconstruction of Konoha still needs their help, and if any unforeseen circumstances arise, Konoha will need their protection.
"I'm sorry everyone, I know that staying here might be more beneficial to the village, but we have to go to the front lines!"
“That’s right, even if I can’t do anything, I still want to take everyone home.”
"He's right. Everyone who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield is a hero. We must bring our heroes home!"
"That's right, let's bring the hero home..."
In an instant, the people on the street were also infected by the atmosphere.
The group of wounded ninjas accompanied the group to the main gate of Konoha.
Just then, everyone saw several people walking towards them.
"That is!"
"Lady Tsunade!"
"Lord Jiraiya!"
"Kakashi! That's Kakashi!"
In an instant, everyone rushed forward and surrounded the group, asking them all questions about what had happened.
News of the Ninja War was spreading rapidly; in Tetsuya's words, let the bullets fly for a while.
Time passed day by day.
The news quickly reached the ears of the daimyo of various countries, who immediately dispatched personnel to investigate the situation on the battlefield.
The investigators sent out further confirmed the news's authenticity; the five great ninja villages had indeed been destroyed.
The incident caused an uproar in various countries. The daimyo stopped indulging in pleasure and instead convened meetings with their advisors to discuss various measures to be taken next.
In the end, it was the Land of Wind that made the first move.
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind first publicly condemned the defeat of Sunagakure and placed all the blame on Sunagakure.
They claimed that they had acted without authorization and participated in the war without his permission.
After a barrage of condemnations, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind announced that their Land of Wind would abolish the ninja village.
