Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

Faced with such a serious situation, the Daimyo of the Wind Country not only failed to take effective measures, but instead exploited the civilians further for his own pleasure.

His judgment of the situation often relied on reports from his officials, but in order to avoid punishment, officials often concealed the truth, and even when faced with a large-scale uprising, they only reported good news and not bad news.

Initially, the daimyo would send troops to various places to suppress the rebellion, but these suppression operations often ended in disastrous failure.

The reason is not just the lack of repressive forces, but more importantly the scale and level of armament of the uprising have become increasingly powerful over time, especially the widespread use of firearms.

Firearms have been widely used among the rebels in the Kingdom of Wind due to the spread of the Dawn Organization in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Ordinary people can master this type of weapon through simple training, giving them considerable combat effectiveness when facing the lord's army.

As the rebellion gradually grew, the daimyo of the Wind Country began to feel helpless. His punishment methods became increasingly severe, and officials and lords who failed to suppress the rebellion were dismissed, punished, or even executed.

This punishment made officials even more afraid to report the true situation, resulting in the daimyo being completely ignorant of the domestic situation.

At the same time, resistance forces from all over the country gathered together to form an organized uprising army.

They continued to expand their armed forces by looting the lords' supplies and arsenals, and more and more civilians joined them.

The daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind was still indulging in the luxury and pleasure of the palace, and had no idea that the rebel forces were approaching the capital.

It is this misplaced rule that has made the situation in the Kingdom of Wind increasingly out of control.

In this situation, the ninjas of the Sand Village in the Wind Country were also caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, they had to obey the orders of the daimyo and go to various places to suppress the uprising, but on the other hand, the military expenditure of the Sand Village itself was constantly being cut, and a large number of ninjas could not even get the proper supplies.

Faced with internal and external difficulties, the leader of the Sand Village, the Third Kazekage, had to re-evaluate the situation in the Wind Country and his own predicament.

The situation in the Kingdom of Wind seems to be temporarily calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging. The forces of the rebels are gradually approaching the capital, and the shadow of war always hangs over this desert country.

In the yellow sand of the Kingdom of Wind, the uprising army composed of rebellious ninjas and refugees was like a flowing torrent, rapidly changing the entire country's landscape.

They are no longer just simple rebels, but have gradually evolved into a ferocious armed force. Driven by wealth and ambition, the war is approaching the capital of the Wind Kingdom step by step.

The gap between the rich and the poor in the Kingdom of Wind is huge, and most civilians live in extreme poverty and oppression.

Originally, these rebels were just scattered bandits who made a living by looting.

However, when a group of rebellious ninjas who were dissatisfied with their fate as cannon fodder in the Sand Village joined them, the fate of this team changed dramatically.

These rebel ninjas were originally sent into the battlefield as cannon fodder during the Third Ninja World War. They saw no hope in the quagmire of war, and their lives and deaths were controlled by the upper-class dignitaries.

Faced with such a fate, more and more Sand Village ninjas chose to betray and flee.

They abandoned their responsibilities as ninjas and plunged into the freedom of war, becoming rebel ninjas.

"We fought hard in the Sand Village just for a few gold coins; but here, if we rob a bunch of lords, we will have enough wealth to spend in several lifetimes."

A rebel ninja once said to his comrades with a sneer.

They used to fight for missions, but now they fight for wealth, even more passionately than when they were in the Ninja Village.

The addition of these rebellious ninjas brought great combat effectiveness to the originally loose bandits.

They knew how to fight and understand combat strategies, especially the ninjas trained in the Sand Village. They used their superb ninjutsu, strict formation organization and powerful chakra to help the resistance army quickly transform from a group of bandits into a terrifying armed force.

The combination of rebellious ninjas and bandits formed a fairly large resistance force.

Their method of expansion was extremely violent. Any oases, villages, and territories they occupied along the way would be completely looted.

Wealth became their driving force, and this wealth was not only food and resources, but also the huge wealth accumulated by the lords and officials of the Wind Kingdom.

Whenever a territory was captured, the lords' luxurious mansions were looted, warehouses filled with gold, silver and jewelry were turned upside down, and the bureaucrats' wealth piled up like mountains. Many rebel soldiers had never seen so much money.

"Robbing a lord is more than what I earned in the ninja village for decades." A rebel ninja sighed.

The common people were also shocked by the wealth of these lords and officials, and many found that wealth they had never had before was within their reach.

The gap between the rich and the poor unfolded before their eyes like a glaring picture, and anger and greed completely ignited the desires of the rebels.

Even if they only took a small portion of the spoils, it was still much more than they had accumulated in their entire lives.

"Those lords are greedy and exploit us. I didn't expect their wealth to be so astonishing." A civilian rebel sneered.

During the looting, they not only gained wealth, but also an unprecedented sense of power and freedom.

The rebels are no longer just fighting to survive, but to change their destiny, which drives them to continue looting and expansion.

Wealth brings not only satisfaction but also ambition.

As the wealth of lords and bureaucrats continued to flow into the hands of the rebels, they began to think about how to transform this money into greater power.

The leaders of the rebel army knew that the existing military force alone was not enough to fight against the regular army of the Wind Country and the ninjas of the Sand Village, so they turned their attention to external resources.

Among them, the Dawn Organization of the Whirlpool Country became their first choice.

This secret organization possesses advanced weapons production capabilities, especially the manufacturing technology of guns and firearms.

The rebels used the looted wealth to buy a large number of guns and ammunition from the Dawn Organization, which quickly improved the combat effectiveness of the rebels. They not only relied on ninjutsu to fight, but modern firearms gave them an advantage in fighting against the Wind Country Army.

Not only that, some rebellious ninjas in the rebel army even began to use the looted resources to build their own weapons production lines.

They built simple factories in some secret places and began to manufacture guns and ammunition on their own.

With the improvement of productivity, the rebels gradually gained the ability to compete with the daimyo's armed forces and even had the ability to launch larger-scale wars.

Although the rebel army was filled with various factions, the wealth obtained from the looting was so great that even if the rebel ninjas took most of it, the refugees and ordinary civilian rebels still got enough to temporarily maintain internal peace.
