Black Naruto: Shadow Moon
Chapter 118 Oasis
When Uchiha Kagezuki brought Hinata Ayane and Yamanaka Chinatsu into the oasis of the Wind Kingdom, they were immediately stopped by a group of guards.
These guards seem to be responsible for the security of the oasis, but in fact they are more like a group of thugs.
Their eyes were filled with greed and malice as they surrounded Uchiha Yingyue and the other two and began to interrogate them.
"Where are you from? What identification do you have?" one of the guards asked rudely, with a threatening tone in his voice.
Uchiha Yingyue didn't want to cause trouble and planned to solve the matter peacefully, so he took out some coins from his pocket and handed them to the guard, "This is the toll. We are just travelers passing by and don't want to cause any more trouble."
The guard took the coins, but was not satisfied. His eyes glanced back and forth between Hinata Ayane and Yamanaka Chinatsu who were beside Uchiha Kagezuki, and his tone became more frivolous, "You don't look like ordinary travelers. These two girls are so beautiful, I guess you must be rich? Tolls? I think it's not enough."
Uchiha Yingyue felt the guard's malicious intention and frowned slightly, but remained calm.
Before he could say anything, a leader-like person among the guards came forward and stared at Ayane and Chinatsu with a lewd look, "How about this, you leave these two beauties to accompany us brothers and have some fun, maybe we can let you go."
This sentence completely angered Uchiha Yingyue.
Ayane and Chinatsu also sensed the ill will of these guards, and although they were able to protect themselves, they knew Yingyue's temper, and they knew these guards had provoked the wrong people.
Uchiha Kagezuki's eyes turned cold in an instant, and he looked at the leader coldly. His red Sharingan appeared instantly, and three magatama rotated in his pupils, forming a strange pattern.
The guard leader instantly felt a powerful mental shock, as if countless sharp needles in his mind were piercing his nerves, causing him unbearable pain.
“You…what are you doing…” The leader felt his consciousness beginning to blur and his eyes were filled with fear.
"It's just to teach you a lesson." Uchiha Yingyue said coldly.
Under the powerful mental impact of the Sharingan, the guard leader's spirit collapsed instantly. He began to talk incoherently and rolled on the ground like a madman, completely losing his mind. He must have spent the rest of his life with mental disorders.
Seeing this scene, the other guards were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they dared not continue to cause trouble.
They quickly took a few steps back and looked at Uchiha Yingyue with trepidation, not daring to make any offensive move.
"Get out." Uchiha Yingyue waved his hand gently, with an unquestionable command in his tone.
The guards, as if they had been pardoned, hurriedly helped the mad leader up and fled the scene, tumbling and crawling.
Ayane and Chinatsu looked at Yingyue's back, their eyes filled with admiration and satisfaction.
Uchiha Yingyue turned to look at them, his expression became gentle again, "Let's go, don't worry about these little people."
The three of them continued to walk deeper into the oasis without encountering any obstructions.
At this time, Uchiha Yingyue had a deeper understanding of the situation of this oasis.
The lord and his men here act recklessly, oppress the people, and even disregard the safety of travelers. They have completely lost their responsibility to serve the people.
"The corruption of this land is probably more serious than I thought." Uchiha Yingyue thought secretly in his heart, planning how to further investigate and learn more about the crimes of this lord.
Uchiha Kagezuki knows that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the corrupt rule of the Wind Kingdom. He is determined to explore more and uncover the evil deeds of these lords. At the same time, he also wants to better understand this ninja world and make the changes he should.
As Uchiha Yingyue investigated the crimes of the oasis lord in depth, the true face of this feudal lord was gradually revealed.
His atrocities are too numerous to list. There is almost nothing he did cleanly, and wherever he went, people were outraged.
This lord treated his people like cattle and horses, and forcibly levied extremely high taxes every year, far exceeding that of other lords.
Many people were forced to sell their land or even their property to pay the taxes. If someone could not pay the taxes in full, they would be forcibly captured by the lord's minions, and their wives and daughters would also be taken away.
If the people showed any dissatisfaction, the lords would suppress them brutally in the name of "rebellion".
Once, the villagers petitioned collectively because they could not pay the taxes, hoping to reduce some of the burden. As a result, the lord sent out elite soldiers to bloodbath the entire village, slaughtering hundreds of innocent villagers, leaving only a few old, weak and sick as a living warning.
The corpses in the village were hung on trees until they rotted, and the stench filled the entire oasis, becoming an eternal nightmare.
The lord took a fancy to a beautiful woman in a village, but the woman was already married and refused to submit to the lord's forceful seizure of her.
So the lord framed her husband and threw him into jail, then forcibly brought the woman into his house as a concubine.
The woman protested repeatedly and was finally forced to commit suicide, but the lord dumped her body into the wilderness and did not even allow her to be buried. If any family members dared to come and claim her, they would be killed without mercy.
The lord also secretly ran a slave market, specifically capturing young and strong civilians and forcibly selling them to other countries.
Those who were trafficked were often treated as slaves and subjected to inhumane treatment. If someone resisted, not only would they be tortured to death, but their families would also be implicated.
The lord also controls all important resources of the oasis, such as water, food, medicine, etc.
He sold these resources at high prices, forcibly squeezing the people of their last bit of wealth.
If someone dug a well privately or bought cheap food from other places, the lord would send people to smash the well and burn the food to cut off their escape route. The people in the oasis suffered from hunger for a long time, and there was no medical treatment for the sick. Only a few people could barely make ends meet.
The lord was extremely greedy and cruel, and hundreds of people died in the oasis every year due to harsh rule and violence.
Some families committed suicide because they could not pay taxes, some children died of hunger, and some elderly people died in pain because they could not afford medical treatment.
However, the lord turned a deaf ear to the tragic situation and continued to enjoy himself and amassed wealth.
Through a series of investigations, Uchiha Yingyue collected a large amount of evidence, and the lord's evil deeds were shocking.
The people of the oasis all hated him to the core, but due to the lord's great power, many people could only swallow their anger and silently endure his oppression.
Such scum will only continue to harm more innocent people if they remain in the world.
After deep thought, Uchiha Yingyue decided to give this lord some respect and seek justice for these oppressed people.
Uchiha Kagezuki returned to his residence and discussed the action plan with Hinata Ayane and Yamanaka Chinatsu.
The three decided to sneak into the lord's mansion under the cover of night and get rid of the tyrant with lightning speed.
In order not to alert the enemy, they made a careful plan to ensure that the action was foolproof.
That night, the sky gradually darkened, the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and the entire oasis fell into silence.
Uchiha Kagezuki led Ayane and Chinatsu to act quickly, and they sneaked into the lord's mansion at an extremely fast speed.
Uchiha Kagezuki used his Sharingan to quickly control the guards of the lord's mansion, making them stand aside obediently without saying a word.
