Naruto's Path to Vulcan

Chapter 38 The Real Vortex Country
…………

And Di Luke, who was drinking tea in a certain teahouse in the capital of Uzumaki, while playing with the teacup in his hand, carefully felt the memory from the shadow clone, squinting his eyes and thinking about the current situation.

At this time, he had already removed his disguise, and his hair, which had been blackened by the hair dye, had returned to its original crimson color.

In the capital of Uzumaki, which is dominated by red, red hair is not conspicuous, and there are not a few conspicuous reds like him.

Thanks to the traditional habit of local people with red hair here, Diluque easily sneaked into the busiest teahouse in the area.

The geographical environment of the country of the vortex is relatively harsh, and the transportation is not convenient, so even the country of the country of the vortex is not rich.

Therefore, the layout of the teahouse is very simple, and the tea made is not very good.

Di Luke didn't care much about this.

After all, even the Land of Fire, which occupies the richest area in the ninja world, is now full of refugees and bandits.

The land of vortex, which has a remote area and small domestic arable land, is unlikely to be much stronger than the land of fire.

Most of the tea drinkers around him are elderly people.

Of course, there are quite a few young people, but judging by their attire, most of them should be ninjas.

Di Luke looked like he was waiting for someone, and it didn't appear abrupt here.

After coming here, Di Luke naturally heard a lot of useful news.

For example, he already knows the general situation of the current Uzumaki clan. There are only two tribes who are considered direct descendants, and one is the daimyo of the Uzumaki country, ruling the Uzumaki country's territory.

The other branch built the Uzumaki Ninja Village on the edge of the capital of the Uzumaki Kingdom. Through the power of the sealing technique as inheritance, it has been the pillar of the Uzumaki clan since the Warring States Period.

Although it is nominally divided into two, Diluque also got a lot of open secrets during the chats of the guests here.

For example, which elder's child is going to marry the fifth daughter of the daimyo, I hope everyone will come and support her.

Well, the person who said this seems to be the uncle of one of the daimyo's wives, who is drinking tea with a happy face.

Where else is the house broken down again, and I need to find a few carpenters who are good at repairing to help.

Di Luke listened to him, he was probably an official of the Vortex Kingdom.

Of course, there are more gossips that happened during this period, such as which family's children are disobedient again, whose field grows more food, whose house is broken down, and whose family's kid secretly went to the Firework Lane to set off firecrackers. Firecrackers, whose girl hasn't gotten married for such a long time.

These things may seem ordinary, but they are also things that are difficult for outsiders to come into contact with in this kind of place where clan blood is the bond.

Basically, it is equivalent to a secret known among the locals.

But listening to the discussion around him, Diluc couldn't help frowning.

From the discussion of everyone, Diluc has a better understanding of the country of the vortex

The country of the vortex is not so much a country as it is the territory occupied by a big landlord and a big patriarch.

Within the borders of the country of vortex, primeval forests and hills occupy most of the country.

Although to a certain extent, it led to the reduction of cultivated land, and even blocked the development of commerce, so that most of the citizens of the entire country of vortex were concentrated in the area centered on the capital of vortex, but the citizens were generally the vortex tribe who were bound by blood ties.

But in contrast, the Uzumaki family living here also got rid of most of the influence of the war during the Warring States period, and lived a semi-reclusive life in a small country with few people.

So rather than saying that the current Uzumaki country is a country, it is better to say that it is the territory of the great ninja clan in the Warring States period.

The same is true for the great ninjas and great nobles in the Warring States Period. They all had their own territories, and obtained resources to support their families through the labor and war of their own clansmen and vassals.

It’s just that the successive years of wars in the Warring States period resulted in extremely low land utilization rates and extremely high child mortality rates. Therefore, the major families at that time multiplied wildly regardless of the facts and did not care about their own resources. Everyone just tried their best to survive.

Ninjas are good at strength, relying on plunder and power inheritance.

The nobles relied on improving technology and the ability to govern their territories to continuously obtain food, salt and iron.

The nobles and ninjas form an alliance like one body with two sides. Everyone depends on each other and is brothers to each other.

As a representative of the military, the ninja family is responsible for defending the interests of allies, while the nobles continue to provide resources for the ninja family in the name of missions and military expenses.

Among them, there are many ninjas who rely on their strength to overthrow the nobles, and there are also no shortage of big nobles who rely on wealth and power to gain the loyalty of the ninjas.

The barren land and huge population pressure forced them to huddle together to keep warm, and the uncertainty of natural disasters also forced them to rely on fighting to obtain resources. The Warring States period at that time was not an era of propriety, righteousness and shame, but an era of blood where there was only life and death.

In the Warring States Period, whether it was ninjas who mastered their own power or nobles who relied on power and wealth to control the power of small and medium-sized ninjas, they were exhausted and eager to end the war, and this desire lasted for hundreds of years.

During this period, it was not that Yingjie tried to end this chaotic world in vain. Some people called for understanding, lobbied everywhere with their own ideas, and formed alliances with families. For a while, the atmosphere eased.

But the greed of human nature often eats it away, and the division of interests is often the root of the alliance's destruction.

There is also no shortage of overlords who lead their families to roar through the Warring States Period, achieve the career of overlords, and rely on their own strength to ensure the food and clothing of the family and their subordinates.

But in the end, often with the changes of the times, they fell into the cycle of the Warring States again.

The big ninjas fight against each other for the survival of thousands of people; the medium ninjas either vassalize the strong or live in a corner in order to preserve their foundation; the small ninjas barely maintain the inheritance and continuation of the family by working hard.

Under such an era background, with the birth of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, it finally ushered in the end.

The two directly started the era of great powers, relying on their own power to suppress the ninja tribes one by one, and finally built the village Konoha between the territories of the Senju and Uchiha tribes.

And the ninjas who were close to each other also responded to their call and came to Konoha to settle down.

Later, Senshou Bashirama married his daughter to a familiar nobleman, and supported him to annex and accept the loyalty of noblemen one by one.

Since then, the ninja world has entered the era of one country and one village. The nobles manage the country and support ninjas to defend the country. Most of the ninjas gather under the command of the shadow to obey orders and take charge of the country's military battles.

The nobles and ninjas in other regions followed suit one after another, and quickly established a unified country through political marriages and interest exchanges.

Although there were many internal problems at that time, at least they formed a unity on the bright side, forming a situation where the five countries were tied together in the ninja world.

The chaotic times of the Warring States Period that lasted for hundreds of years finally came to an end, and the Ninja World finally ushered in a short-lived peace.

At this time, there were also differences within the Kingdom of Fire. One faction was Senju Hashirama, who wanted to maintain peace and maintain the current situation to recuperate.

From the perspective of latecomers, it is natural that Uchiha Madara's thoughts are more in line with the trend of the times, but from the perspective of people at that time, starting a war to unify the ninja world is not in line with most people's thinking.

On the one hand, everyone has just emerged from the quagmire of war, and finally found their place in the new era, but at this time, another war sweeping the ninja world is set off, and it is undoubtedly unpopular to put your family and life on the battlefield .

On the other hand, the five major countries have just been established. Not to mention other countries, the distribution of interests within the most stable country of fire has not been completed, and the families that do not obey the rule try to set off a rebellion.

Moreover, the major families were able to form the Land of Fire together, not only because of the strength of Senju and Uchiha, but also because everyone has been related to each other in a region for hundreds of years, such as intermarriage and marriage, and they are relative to each other. For the sake of familiarity.

But families in other regions, although they may have communicated with each other, have no basis for trust at all.

Whether Uchiha Madara's idea is right, of course, but the reality is that not enough power can solve everything.

People's aversion to war, the large amount of barren land left over from the end of the Warring States Period, satisfaction with the current environment, and tired ninjas all made the Fire Kingdom at that time have no basis for unifying the ninja world.

This unmistakable debate slowly escalated into an armed conflict, as the two ninja gods of the Sengoku period fought in a forest on the edge of Konoha.

The dispute ended with Uchiha Madara's suspended animation and Senju Hashimama being seriously injured.

Although the Warring States Period has ended, the legacy of the Warring States Period is still lingering in the ninja world.

At this time, the country of Uzumaki is a member of the Uzumaki clan who put on the cloak of the country.

It is said to be a country, but it is actually a big ninja model of the Warring States Period.

The patriarch and elders are the leaders, the ninja village is the hands and feet, and the clansmen are the cornerstones.

Coupled with the long-term isolated and peaceful life, their political experience is almost zero. During the Warring States period, they had almost no communication with the outside world except for communication with Senshou who was related by blood.

Therefore, the world of most of them is only the people around them. Most of them don't even know that they have an ally called Konoha, and they don't know that they are surrounded by the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Water.

Di Luke was also very helpless about this matter.

Originally, he wanted to find a way to unite with ninjas from the other four major countries before Konoha's reinforcements arrived, and strive to wipe out the Uzumaki clan first.

After that, backstab the allies, destroy part of the sealing technique materials they got, and try their best to delay the time for the countries to perfect their human strength.

Doing so can not only avoid the expansion of the intensity of World War II, but also reduce the intensity of the war in World War III.

Obviously the previous plan was in the best interest of his own, but he looked at the citizens of the Vortex Country who were a little too simple, and although he would not directly change his mind, he was still struggling in his heart.

He felt that he was standing at the crossroads of his life now, which would have a great impact on the future, and he was at a loss for a while.
