Naruto: Crossing the Still Water, Starting from the Blind

[Chapter 12 has been changed, and the plot direction is completely different. If you feel that this chapter cannot be continued, it means you have to read the previous version. Please refresh and go back to Chapter 12]

After allaying the tribe's suspicion, Ruoshui began his own deployment.

"First of all, the situation is not good for us, but our position cannot be messed up. Mount Orange is located on the border of the Land of Fire. We occupy the commanding heights. Even if Konoha deploys a large army, it will not be so easy to attack."

"Secondly, the Land of Fire is Konoha's home field after all. If we stay for a long time, something will happen. We need to find a way out as soon as possible."

Everyone knew that the so-called retreat was exactly Uchiha's next approach.

At this time, Uchiha Tatsumi was the first to suggest: "I suggest that we can seek refuge in the great ninja villages that are hostile to Konoha, such as Kumogakure, the country with the strongest military strength today!"

"Yunyin Village, I agree!!!"

"Joining Kumogakure will make Uchiha even more powerful, why not worry about not avenging a great revenge!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately received responses from many Uchiha people.

Ruo Shuixin said: This Chen, your rhythmic skills are top-notch, so be careful not to become the next wave!

At this time, Uchiha Itachi expressed his support: "I don't agree to go to the Land of Thunder."

When everyone looked at it, Chen Fa asked: "Why...Itachi, what do you think is wrong with me?"

Itachi said with reason: "Coming to the Great Country Ninja Village may help us get out of trouble quickly, but that is based on mutual use. It is impossible for us to truly integrate into Kumogakure, and it is impossible for Kumogakure to truly accept us. Outsiders, with Kumogakure's combat power, Uchiha is not indispensable, but Uchiha must rely on Kumogakure to survive. The unequal status will make us completely lose the initiative. In the end, it is nothing more than a conflict between Uchiha and Konoha. , transferred into a conflict against Yunyin Village."

"This……"

For a moment, everyone in Uchiha was speechless.

Chen frowned: "If it doesn't work to seek refuge in a big country's ninja village, then we must go to a small country and a small village to seek refuge!"

Itachi looked worried: "Perhaps, even small countries and small villages may not be willing to accept us..."

Chen's brows furrowed deeper: "What do you mean! If Uchiha loses more troops and generals, that's Uchiha! It's just condescension to go to a small village. What reason do they have for not accepting it!?"

Itachi was really in trouble. He looked at Quan: "Quan... you can tell me."

Quan hugged the shivering Sasuke, his beautiful eyes sparkling: "Brother Chen, don't forget, if we break with Konoha and accept us, it is equivalent to becoming the enemy of Konoha. What small village can't weigh the pros and cons?"

Chen gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it...not even the big village can do it, nor the small village, doesn't the Uchiha have no way out!!"

At this time... Ruoshui said at the right time: "Why don't we consider building a ninja village ourselves?"

As soon as these words came out, the Uchiha clan members were startled, and the sound of pattering rain became more and more clear.

"...Build a ninja village by yourself?"

At this time, among Uchiha, Uchiha Chuan, who is known as a scholar, said, "Shisui, establishing a shinobi village is not an easy task. First, we must find a country that is willing to accept us. We must take on the responsibility of protecting Only by fulfilling the responsibilities of the country and providing stable value output can we obtain a steady stream of construction funds. At present, Uchiha has lost its troops and is unable to shoulder these two important responsibilities. There is another problem, which is the most critical. Since accepting us, it is equivalent to fighting with Konoha. As an enemy, even if we are able to provide these two major functions, which country is willing to take the risk of offending Konoha and entrust us with important responsibilities?"

Hmm... This man's mind is quite clear. He didn't agree with Chen without thinking before. He only expressed his own opinions at the appropriate time. He may be able to be entrusted with important tasks in the future. However, his overall view is still a little lacking.

Just listen to Chuan say again: "To take a step back, even if there is a country that is willing to risk offending Konoha and allows us to establish a Ninja Village, in the current environment of one country, one village system, Ninja Villages have long been saturated. There is a place for us, unless..."

Ruoshui smiled and said, "Unless it's something, continue talking?"

Uchiha said: "Unless we destroy a ninja village and replace it, it may be possible, but then Uchiha will be labeled as an invader, which will be extremely detrimental to our future development. Do you really think Is that possible, Shisui?"

Everyone looked at Ruoshui to see how he would answer Chuan's question.

Good guy, you are so considerate, I really planned to do this at the beginning!

Just listening, Ruoshui said something shocking: "Who said you have to destroy a ninja village before you can build a village?"

"Speaking of which... who stipulated that there can only be one ninja village in a country?"

Everyone was shocked, this was a path they had never imagined.

Chuan said: "One country, one village system, that is the consensus reached by the first Hokage Senju Hashirama and our ancestor Uchiha Madara on a global scale to quell the troubled times!"

Ruoshui said: "That's why everyone's vision is limited to this. What is the current situation? Many countries, especially the five major ninja countries, on the one hand, take advantage of the convenience of governing the ninja village, but on the other hand, they are afraid of their own ninja village and family. The threat it brings due to its dominance, and it relies on cutting funds to achieve the purpose of reducing personnel."

As he spoke, Ruoshui raised two fingers: "If a country has two ninja villages, it can not only increase its combat power, but also allow the two ninja villages under its rule to restrain each other to dispel the concerns of the ruling class. My country The idea of ​​a two-village system was proposed based on the idea of ​​taking advantage of the needs of the rulers!"

Chuan's eyes were bright, but his brows furrowed into a "Chuan" pattern: "Shisui, I admit that your thinking is very advanced and bold. However, we cannot protect ourselves at the moment. It is not easy to break the existing system. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a fantasy. What specific measures do you have in this regard?”

After Ruoshui pondered for a moment, he said: "I think so, we can annex small countries and small villages. Note that it is annexation, not elimination. Of course, in order to make the small villages we annexed more psychologically acceptable, we can declare to the outside world It is an 'alliance'. In this way, with the continuous mergers, it will gradually strengthen itself like a snowball. Then, when we have a strong enough voice, we will choose a big country and propose the one country, two villages plan to the ruling class. !”

It turns out that your goal... was to aim at the 'big country' from the beginning!

Chuan asked: "Which big country do you plan to choose?"

"To be determined, it can be the Kingdom of Thunder, the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Wind, or the Kingdom of Water...even."

The corners of Zhisui's mouth raised slightly, and he pointed to the land under his feet: "It can be the Land of Fire under our feet!"

Kawa Xin Yue was sincerely convinced: "I admire, I admire... Shisui, I used to think you were just a genius ninja with great ninjutsu and combat IQ. I never expected that you have such an outstanding political mind! Alas, if Chief Fugaku is on duty During this period, you have shown such talent, I am afraid that the whole family will not end up in such a situation!"

Ruoshui said humbly: "Thank you, my plan is just a preliminary idea, and the details will be subject to the actual situation. In short, let's camp in Jugeng Mountain tonight!"

Lang's incident made Ruoshui truly understand what it means to have a plan that cannot keep up with changes.

But after this incident, the way the Uchiha people looked at Ruoshui was completely different from the past. That was... the way they looked at Fugaku in the past.

Late at night, candlelight flickered in the tent.

Itachi: "Brother Shisui is amazing. He stabilized the situation in such a short time."

Ruoshui: "Actually, establishing a new Ninja Village is not the most important thing right now. Itachi, I know you are anxious, but you just don't say it and you are worried about the safety of Fugaku-sama and Mikoto-sama, right?"

Itachi's hands were tightly clenching the legs of his pants: "I can't be with Shisui at such an important moment, will you blame me?"

Ruoshui: "Anyway, you were the one who accompanied me through my most difficult time. Now, it's my turn to accompany you through it. When I make arrangements for the clansmen tomorrow morning, we will set off immediately to find Lord Fugaku." whereabouts……"

Itachi said: "If... my father can be saved this time, Brother Zhisui, from now on, I will follow you to the ends of the world!"

Ruoshui was suspicious: This sentence...why does it seem to have deep meaning?

Ruoshui patted Itachi's shoulder meaningfully.

Itachi, Sasuke...from now on, you will become my right and left arms!

Under the candlelight, unfold the map of the ninja world.

Ruoshui: "With the annexation of the small country's Ninja Village, where do you think we should start?"

Itachi said: "I think Brother Zhisui, you missed one step in thinking about this matter. I just didn't say it in front of everyone."

Ruoshui: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Itachi said: "All ninjas have feelings of family and country, and large and small villages are no exception. The prerequisite for annexation is to ensure that the interests of their 'homeland' will not be harmed by being annexed. If they cannot improve this place, they will fight to the death." There are definitely not a few ninjas who merge!"

"It really... made me suddenly enlightened!"

As a time traveler, Ruoshui has a good mind, so he can have an overall view of the world of Naruto, but... what he lacks is precisely the 'feelings' that a true person has, and Itachi can think of this in a flash This point makes up for Ruoshui's biggest shortcoming.

Ruoshui thought: "We promised the annexed people that if there is a war in their homeland, we can rush to protect the country at any time, and we will also send combat forces to assist them. In this way, in terms of the result, it is a win-win situation. What do you think, Itachi? !”

Itachi smiled, knowingly. From the beginning to the end, he did not act from the perspective of profit, but... the righteousness of ninjas.

It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.

"As expected of Shisui, he thought so carefully in just one moment. Okay, let's do this..."

Ruoshui smiled meaningfully and said, "Now you can tell me which country you started from."

Itachi searched the map with his eyes, raised his finger, and stopped at a certain land.

Ruoshui looked at it.

"Taki...? Why?"

Itachi said: "The village of Takigakure in the country of Taki is the only village in the small country that possesses a 'tailed beast'. It has great strategic significance. If the annexation can be successful in the first battle, the future road will be much smoother, but the same Yes, precisely because Longyin Village is special, this is also a huge challenge for us."

The corner of Ruoshui's mouth raised: Challenge, it suits my taste...

"Then early tomorrow morning, we will inform the clansmen and head towards the country of Taki first. I will go with you to find the whereabouts of Fugaku-sama and Mikoto-sama. Once they are found, we will meet with the clansmen!"
