[Naruto] The big battle to transform the image of the patriarch

Konoha four years, April.

The rain is pattering down, connecting the gray-black city with the gray-black clouds.The streets are full of stagnant water, and garbage is randomly piled up on the side of the street, emitting a stench.The doors and windows of the house were closed tightly, and the bony figures flashed away in the shadows; pairs of vigilant or terrified eyes watched them from all directions.

The country of rain.In other words, the Land of Rain after half a year of military occupation by the Land of Wind.And now, these Konoha ninjas are standing here, looking at this devastated country.

And the reason why the ninjas who were supposed to return to Konoha are standing here is from October last year.

Last October, the Land of Winds planned to take advantage of the time when Fire and Earth were at war to make a profit, so they decisively occupied the Land of Rain, which also bordered the Three Kingdoms; but the daimyo of the Land of Winds underestimated Konoha's strength and The courage of the fire country daimyo.In March of this year, the ninjas of Konoha received an order from the daimyo on their way back, requesting to expel the Kingdom of Wind from the Kingdom of Rain; because the Kingdom of Rain is adjacent to the Kingdom of Fire, it has important strategic significance for protecting domestic security .

However, considering Konoha's internal defense needs, Madara, as the supreme commander, decisively decided to divide his troops into two groups: Quanna and Tomona brought some ninjas back to Konoha, and Madara took some of them to the Land of Rain.

After entering the Land of Rain, the ninjas from Sand Ninja Village in the Land of Wind tentatively fought against Konoha, and after discovering that they still retain amazing fighting power, they immediately decided to withdraw to the country.

Since the country of the wind wanted to grab the resources in the country of the rain as much as possible at the beginning, rather than to expand the territory, the country of the rain was ravaged by them in just half a year of occupation: the city was unmaintained , only the place where the ninjas of the Kingdom of Wind live is clean and intact; a large amount of food and raw materials are transported to the territory of the Kingdom of Wind, and the citizens of the Kingdom of Rain can barely eat; the local residents are driven to produce the materials needed by the Kingdom of Wind, and one day The reward is nothing more than a little food...

It's not that no one tried to resist, but the Land of Rain didn't have its own ninjas and villages. After paying the price in blood, the citizens could only swallow their anger and grit their teeth to survive under the iron hoof of the Land of Wind.In just half a year, their impression of the ninjas has become extremely bad, and they hate them to the extreme.

Now, Madara and Mana are facing such a group of weak but hateful citizens.The request of the Fire Nation daimyo is: expel the Wind Nation; try to appease the Rain Nation and ensure the stability of the Fire Nation's border.

To expel the Land of Wind can only be done by force; but to appease the Land of Rain... this task cannot be accomplished only by force.

How to do?

This question hovers in the mind of every Konoha ninja, but the one who needs to think about this question the most is Uchiha Madara.

=================================================

Since the task of "pacifying the country of rain" is to be completed, the troops led by Madara must be stationed in the country of rain for a period of time.After successfully driving away the ninjas from the Kingdom of the Wind, the Konoha troops stationed in the capital city of the Kingdom of the Rain, and under the command of Madara, they quickly took over the area where the Kingdom of the Wind previously lived—that is, the city with the most complete and most complete facilities. A clean residential area. "The winner has everything", this is a matter of course; but when the daimyo of the rain country respectfully came to see him and asked Konoha's ninja to move to the more luxurious daimyo, Madara refused.He didn't even meet the daimyo from the Land of Rain in person, and only asked Mana to convey his idea: it's better for the daimyo to live in the daimyo mansion.

After finally sending off the fearful Daimyo of the Land of Rain and finishing a bunch of miscellaneous matters, night has already fallen.The continuous rain during the day finally stopped in the evening, and some of the thick cumulus clouds in the sky dispersed; the invisible wind at high altitude cut through the clouds and let a little bit of starlight leak down.For the Land of Rain, this is already a rare clear night sky.

Mana found Madara on the roof; he was sitting on the edge of the roof, with one leg bent and the other straight, facing the black and gray city, looking up at the sky; the faint light from the roof hit his face Up, and his gaze penetrated the thin light, and then looked up through the layers of dark clouds, and cast his gaze to a more distant place.

"It will get wet, clothes." Mana glanced at the accumulated water on the table, said so, but propped herself up with one hand, and sat down on it without caring.

Madara's eyes fell from the far-reaching sky back to the human world, and focused on Mana.

"Don't sit like this, be careful of the cold." He pinned her broken hair behind her ears, stroked her hair, then withdrew his hand, and looked at the city and country in front of him again.

"Oh, really, you left a lot of work to me and Taohua, and you ran to the roof to watch the night view leisurely." Mana shook the accumulated water on her hands, complaining half-truthfully.

Although Tomona chose to return to the village because he was worried about his elder brother, it is of course impossible for the Senju Clan to let go of the Land of Rain; in fact, due to the subtle tacit understanding between the families, even if everyone acquiesced that Uchiha had full power to deal with it as the supreme officer Regarding the affairs of the Land of Rain, each family also left their own people in the Land of Rain.For example, the Qianshou family is Qianshou Duoguang and Qianshou Taohua.

Madara smiled faintly; of course he didn't take Mana's complaints seriously, but just asked, "What happened to the name of the Land of Rain?"

"Don't worry." Mana said, shaking her legs, "That one has already agreed to move back to the Daming Mansion. Let me say, Brother Madara, why don't you agree to the Daming's request to see you?"

"The daimyo of the Land of Rain... is nothing but a loser who can't even protect his own people. He obviously accepts the support of the whole country, but he can't shoulder his own responsibilities. To put it bluntly, he is just a parasite. I am too lazy Talk to the parasite." Madara's words sound arrogant and petulant.

Mana squinted at him: You are too lazy to talk to parasites, so you leave the job to me?She tried to tighten her face, but after trying for a long time, she still couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

"You obviously attach great importance to the name of the Kingdom of Rain." Mana smiled and shook her head, and said, "I mean, it is important in a strategic sense-after all, he is the legitimate supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Rain; After half a year of actual rule, the legitimate authority of this daimyo still cannot be shaken."

"...Oh, you know again?" Madara seemed to be sneering, "I value a parasite? Mana, when did I become such a boring person in your eyes?"

His eyes were still focused on the buildings under the night, and he didn't know who he was targeting with the vague ridicule on his mouth; the high nose bridge and thin lips had too sharp lines.

Of course it is important, Mana thought.The Country of Rain is adjacent to the three big countries, and no one can truly merge the Country of Rain; the Country of Rain has long been used to being an independent country and to being ruled by its own daimyo.Under the circumstances that the citizens of the Land of Rain are full of hostility towards ninjas, supporting the daimyo to re-rule the Land of Rain is the fastest way to appease the national emotions—no independent country’s people would be willing to be ruled by outsiders; Establishing a good relationship can ease the tension and vigilance of the citizens of the Land of Rain, and facilitate Konoha's next work.

With a smile, Mana stated her thoughts truthfully; and then said: "I remember Hashirama had a catchphrase before, he said 'There is always a fight'. But from another angle, it can also be said, Whenever, there must be a compromise in order to quell the fight. Hey, Brother Madara?"

Madara remained silent, without rebuttal.

It's amazing, she thought, although she had been vaguely aware of it before, but she didn't feel it clearly until this time, that the name "Uchiha Madara" was actually associated with the word "compromise".She still remembers that more than three years ago, after the defeat in the election, the head of her family told the Uchiha clan that they must be patient, and then faced with the internal disputes in Konoha, she also revealed impatience and forbearance in private.Who would have thought that one day, he would be so decisive to make a compromise for the sake of the overall situation?Although……

"...Hmph, Mana." Madara looked at Mana from the side, his eyes were cold and arrogant, the mocking curve of his mouth became more obvious, and his voice was soft but powerful, "Are you preaching to me?"

...Although, well, I'm in a bad mood after making a compromise, ahaha.

With crooked smiles in both eyes, Mana stretched out her hand to brush away the wind-blown hair on his face, and said, "So, are you acting like a spoiled child to me?"

When this person is in a bad mood, the hidden poisonous tongue attribute will burst out unconsciously, especially when facing people close to him.Although it looks fierce, it is actually just his unique way of complaining.Mana grew up with him since she was a child, and she has already figured out his temper.

Madara was a little uncomfortable when she said that.He pursed his lips, turned his eyes to one side, then turned his head completely, snorted softly, pulled Mana's hand, and then pulled her domineeringly into his arms.

Raising his head, Madara's eyes once again passed through the gaps in the clouds, chasing the stars and falling into the distant sky.His eyebrows gradually relaxed, and his body, which had been tense before, relaxed a little.Then he said, "Sit with me for a while."

Mana leaned quietly in her arms, looking at the dark night sky and the same dark gray-black city with him.They are all powerful and independent ninjas on the outside, but how to appease a wounded country and a group of frightened and weak ordinary people in a short period of time, the powerful force they rely on for a living seems to be useless for a while.Deciding to cooperate with the Daimyo of the Rain Country is only the first step; how to act next?They can only figure it out on their own.

The night wind is getting colder, and the stagnant water is freezing cold.The light of the city gradually faded away, only the lights beside them were still flickering in the darkness, like an isolated island in the sea.Obviously, there are not too few citizens in the Land of Rain, and they have even witnessed how many people live in the city, but the atmosphere here is completely different from Konoha; there is no laughter, no children willfully making noise, and no businesses The cries to solicit business are only silence, silence and silence, plus a few sighs or suppressed crying.

They sat quietly on the roof and passed the whole night like this.When the first ray of sky lighted up again, Mana turned her stiff neck and said in a hoarse voice that hadn't spoken for a long time: "I suddenly have a very strange idea. Do you want to try it?"

"...Oh?" Madara's voice sounded above his head, "It just so happens that I also had a strange idea."

==================================================

two days later.A rare sunny day in the Land of Rain—it didn’t rain, but the sun came out at noon.

The weather in April was already a bit sweltering, and the daimyo of the Land of Rain stood on the square, wiping his sweat non-stop; half of it was due to the hot and humid weather, and more of it was due to nervousness.

Of course he was nervous!Yesterday, I received the news that Konoha's terrifying figure ordered him to gather the residents of the city as much as possible around the training ground.It is said to be "as far as possible", but God knows what will happen if there are not enough people?This group of ninjas fought and killed. Before the Land of Winds, there were many people who drew their swords at each other... Therefore, this daimyo mobilized his men and tried to push the unwilling people around the practice field. Softly pleading, while implying that "it's the request of Konoha, who is more terrifying than Sand Ninja Village in the Land of Wind".

Finally, the people arrived.The city architecture of the Land of Rain is a bit strange.Because of the perennial rain, wooden houses are not suitable for this place, and the buildings on the street are mostly made of stone and metal; the tall buildings are separated from the low stone houses, and the whole city presents a messy scene.But also because of this reason, people can climb the tall buildings around the practice field and see clearly what happened on the practice field.

On the training field, Konoha's ninjas lined up neatly.They wore uniforms, Konoha forehead protectors, and ninja kits tied around their waists and legs.Although the ninjas vary in height, shortness, fatness, and thinness, everyone is straight and full of energy, with the iron-blooded spirit of those who have experienced the battlefield; Peaceful; and with so many people standing on the exercise field, they didn't make any sound, showing good discipline.

The people in the Land of Rain have never seriously observed this group of new outsiders before, but they just preconceived in their hearts that they are the same as Sand Ninja Village: vicious, unreasonable, cruel and cold, but now they look carefully, they feel stupid again. Ye seems to be different; they seem to have a particularly dignified temperament.

People were quietly observing the ninja troops on the training ground, but their daimyos were looking around absent-mindedly, as if they were looking for someone.Finally, his eyes lit up - a female ninja in a dark blue ninja uniform and a high black ponytail was walking towards him.

"Mana-sama!" Daimyo called out in a low voice, waving slightly to the side.When Mana got closer, Daimyo whispered to her that all the residents of the city had arrived.

The surrounding tall buildings were indeed densely packed with people.Mana glanced around, nodded, and then softly told Daimyo that she doesn't need an honorific title.Daimyo wiped off his oil and sweat, and said nonchalantly that when Sand Ninja was here before, that's what he called the strong men of Sand Ninja.

Mana looked at his eyes with a half-smile, and felt that the seemingly simple and honest Daimyo of the Land of Rain actually had a pair of small eyes that were completely hidden.He was able to survive half a year of Sand Ninja's rule. Although he gave up the Daming Mansion, he also retained his subordinates; His attitude was far milder than Sand Ninja's, and when he even had the will to return the power to him, this man began to cautiously probe.As a great nobleman, he doesn't need to use honorific titles for ninjas at all; but now he tells Mana that he not only respects Sand Ninja as "Master", but also respects Konoha's several people as "Master".

...This is to test whether Konoha, like Sand Shinobi, wants to make the Kingdom of Rain surrender.

But Mana didn't try to expose him; anyway, after a while, everyone will know Konoha's answer.Therefore, she just thanked politely, then took off lightly, and with the help of the building above the daimyo's head, she easily passed the onlookers, even the Konoha ninjas lined up, and landed directly in front of the practice field.This is a very long jump, but her movements are light and beautiful, and her speed is fast enough for ordinary people to see her fluttering clothes clearly.It wasn't until she landed that the onlookers let out a low exclamation—although they couldn't tell the height of a ninja, Mana's move just now made them feel that Konoha's ninja seemed to be stronger than Sand Ninja; at least Sand Ninja didn't Who can jump so far and look so good.

Mana's face was indifferent, and her heart was a little guilty; she knew that the ninjas present would definitely be able to see the part of her performance just now, and now she looks a little strange in her eyes.However, to show Konoha's strength in a small way without using force, and to make it understandable to ordinary people, you can only rely on good-looking performances...

As she thought, she nodded to Spotted, who was standing at the front of the line.Madara received her signal, turned around and walked up to the high platform, facing all the ninjas.This man didn't need to make any extra movements. He walked naturally with an aura different from other ninjas, enough for everyone to notice him at a glance, and was shocked by that sharp aura, and immediately fell silent.

The whispers from the crowd died away.

The supreme commander of the Konoha Army looked at his subordinates and spoke amidst the solemnity.

"Ninjas of Konoha," his voice was steady and firm enough for everyone to hear clearly, "Now, take off your ninja gear."

Everyone - except the person who issued the order and his "accomplice" - was stunned.A ninja is a thing that a ninja never leaves. It can be said that in the war years, a ninja is the life of a ninja-this is common sense for ordinary people.

But in the next second, the people in the Land of Rain were even more astonished; because all the ninjas of Konoha, after a second of stagnation, stretched out their hands in unison without hesitation, and took off the ninja bags on their bodies.Including Madara on the high platform, and Mana next to him, all held the sharp blade in their hands, and then...

clang-

clang clang clang clang clang---

Shen Chen's weapon smashed all over the ground in an instant!

The Land of Rain is completely lost!Confused, or unbelievable!What are these ninjas expressing to them?What is this group of terrible invaders trying to do?

The voice that ordered everyone to remove their weapons answered the question they only dared to ask in their hearts: "Konoha didn't come for aggression."

small theater:

However, to show Konoha's strength in a small way without using force, and to make it understandable to ordinary people, you can only rely on good-looking performances...
