In the sparsely populated border area of ​​the Fire Nation, a newly built mansion quietly stands in the wilderness, as if deliberately avoiding something.

The mansion, which seems inconspicuous at first glance, is actually a different world. In addition to the courtyard, there are pavilions, waterside pavilions, flowers and trees. There are carved beams and painted buildings and red pillars and embroidered columns everywhere. In addition, the furnishings are exquisite and the objects are exquisite, which is a completely luxurious scene.

It is already evening, and servants dressed in gorgeous clothes are constantly shuttling in the corridors. The glass lamps are lit and the candlelight is trembling, illuminating the gorgeous and rich furnishings in the house.

This mansion built in the wilderness is so luxurious and decadent that it is just like a king's palace, but in the eyes of the owner here, it is still just a shabby residence with a slightly smaller layout and can only be lived in temporarily.

At this moment, the owner of this mansion, a wealthy businessman from the Fire Nation, is having dinner.

Well-trained servants decorated the hall, lit candles, smoked warm incense, set up cushioned lacquer tables, and brought in plate after plate of delicious food. All kinds of rare ingredients, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, were served on the plates, but so many delicacies were only for one person to enjoy.

At the same time, in the same area, many people were dying of hunger.

The servants were still carrying various bowls and cups in a line. In addition to delicious food, fine wine was also indispensable. In addition to the common cherry blossom wine, sake and various fruit wines in the Fire Country, there were also all kinds of grape wines shipped from overseas.

Such a feast, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is extravagant, but it is just the most ordinary meal for a rich businessman. He did not think it was so luxurious. If you really compare it, he is just an unsophisticated businessman, and the nobles are the most extravagant.

Those people are used to a life of luxury, and their sense of superiority is engraved in their bones. In order to distinguish themselves from the peasants under their feet, they live a luxurious life, wear gorgeous clothes, and have strict rules in every aspect. They treat the people as slaves and seize the national treasury as private property. This is a way for them to show their status.

Even if they are now in decline, the daimyo still maintains his appearance. Even if he sells his official position and land privately, he still maintains a luxurious life in public.

Swallowing a piece of delicious whale meat, the fat pig-like rich businessman sneered at the nobles who are still waiting to die in the capital. In these three years, almost all the big businessmen and nobles who are more famous than him have been slaughtered by the ninjas of Konoha. Only he has survived until now.

What a bunch of stupid pigs!

Thinking of this, the rich businessman was once again complacent about his intelligence. Although giving up those industries in the capital almost made him heartbroken, as long as he could save his life and property, it was all worth it.

The emperor was far away, how could Konoha care about such a poor and remote place?

Bang——

Suddenly, crazy loud noises broke out in the ears of the rich businessman. After a violent earthquake, the servants' panicked screams and the guards' fearful shouts sounded one after another, and then quickly returned to silence.

"Guards, guards! Go and stop them!"

The rich businessman was frightened by the strange movement and knocked over all the good wine and food on the table in panic. Thinking that there were wandering ninjas, he shouted a few times and ordered all the guards and servants to rush out to stop the enemy, while he himself moved his bulging body and ran towards the secret door he had left earlier.

Just as he was fleeing in panic, he suddenly realized that the ground under his feet was shaking and slowly collapsing, as if there was an earthquake. But in the next moment, he realized that it was not a sudden earthquake, but that he was hung upside down by countless vines, which gave him such a strange illusion.

"Hey, a wandering ninja? What do you want? Money or food?"

The wealthy merchant, who was trembling with fear, was trembling all over. After holding up his face for a second, he screamed with a pale pig face and begged for mercy:

"I have a lot of money and food! I can give you all, just leave me a dog life!"

Boom——

A dull footstep stepped on the floor made of very exquisite materials. The devil-like figure, with the breath of blood and fire, began to tremble with every step.

The ghostly and mysterious Sharingan of the visitor instantly brought the desperate merchant back to the capital three years ago, back to that nightmare night.

Outside the capital city that was once thought to be impregnable and would never fall, a group of Uchiha with red eyes came roaring like evil spirits. At the command of the samurai and monks guarding the city, countless bows and arrows and muskets began to attack. The continuous offensive intertwined a violent storm, but such an attack was ineffective in front of the Uchiha ninja.It was so powerless that the leader Uchiha Madara only sent out a huge fire dragon, which not only swallowed all the arrows and shells that attacked, but also blew the stubborn defenders into blood flowers.

That night, the capital and nobles of the Fire Country, which had stood for a thousand years, were madly retaliated and killed by the bloodthirsty Uchiha. No matter how noble the bloodline, how noble the status, or how rich the wealth, in front of them, they were just paper tigers and false bubbles that would break with a poke.

It was at that time that the wealthy businessmen who once called the wind and rain in the capital realized that from then on, the Fire Country would no longer be the world of the nobles, and the era of ninjas had arrived!

It was also on that night that Uchiha Madara and the Uchiha clan he led became the nightmare of countless nobles and wealthy people in the Fire Country, including himself.

In order to escape these devilish eyes, he did not hesitate to abandon his property and family, but now, this group of crazy Uchiha still came to find him!

"Uchiha Madara..."

Muttering the name of the terrible demon, fear completely overwhelmed the desperate merchant. He understood that in front of the Shura of the Ninja World, the wandering ninjas he had hired at great expense were nothing but paper tigers that could not withstand a single blow.

Several heads were thrown out by Madara. The frightened merchant looked over numbly. As expected, they were all familiar faces, from the country nobles who colluded with him, to the rice merchants who manipulated the grain prices, the servants he sent out to lend money at high interest rates, and even the small merchant who had accepted his bribes and had been buying grain for him from Konoha.

Although Uchiha Madara had not said a word from the beginning, the merchant was not so incapable of even this ability to read people's expressions. He knew that the Shura of the Ninja World was saying——

Next, it's your turn.

At this time, the little girl who had been hiding behind Uchiha Madara came out. She looked at the wine and food scattered all over the ground, and then looked at the fat merchant who looked like a pig. Suddenly, she tilted her head and smiled:

"Do you like Konoha's food very much?"

Shen Yue smiled sweetly, but her expression was cruel like a naive child:

"Then just eat enough!"

The vines that grew from the ground instantly pierced into the esophagus of the merchant. The wood escape technique continuously produced a large amount of food, which soon completely broke his stomach. The stomach acid corroded his internal organs, but the food filled his fat body. In this way, the merchant painfully and slowly ushered in death.

In just less than three hours, the huge force that took root in the border of the Fire Country, secretly manipulated food prices, bought and sold land and population, and issued usury was uprooted by the Uchiha and Senju Tobirama.

In front of powerful ninjas, this traditional collusion between officials and businessmen is nothing but an empty shell that can be broken with a single poke, but it is not easy to completely eradicate such termites in the Land of Fire.

.....

After cleaning up the termites, in order to help the victims, Shenyue and Huohe were busy and exhausted. Senju Tobirama split several shadow clones, and the free laborers of Sand Village were even forced to use puppetry.

They took the food from the wealthy merchants and the fruits and vegetables made by Shenyue using Wood Release to cook soft porridge and distribute it to the victims who were about to starve to death.

The porridge could not be cooked, and the people could not be saved, but they could not waste all their time on this. Shenyue could only gather those who still had the strength to move together and let them take over the work of cooking porridge and providing relief.

Thanks to those vicious wealthy merchants, nobles and wandering ninjas, the border people, who were originally small in population, had almost died out. Therefore, the most troublesome thing for Shen Yue and his team was to find those who were still alive among the people who starved to death!

As early as when interrogating those termites, Shen Yue discovered that this group of people were like locusts. Every time they arrived at a place, they would drain the blood and flesh here. Once they were no longer valuable, they would immediately abandon it and look for the next suitable prey.

Today, I am afraid that many villages and towns have been killed and completely abandoned.

Huo He sent his contracted ninja cat to notify the ninjas of Konoha to take over this mess. In addition, all the gold and silver treasures confiscated from the wealthy merchants had to be moved back.

This puzzled Shamen.

Why did Konoha care so much about these people?

In his opinion, Konoha is Konoha and the Land of Fire is the Land of Fire, just like the Sand Village and the Wind Country are two different things. If it were three years ago, he might still have some feelings for the Wind Country, but under the constant suppression of the Daimyo, he had long hated the nobles of the Wind Country, and also hated the civilians of the Wind Country outside the Sand Village.

So he couldn't understand at all, these Konoha ninjasHatred, pain and unwillingness in his heart.

Even if I explained it to him, he probably wouldn't understand. Even if these people ruined Konoha's reputation, what would happen? Konoha can still worry about a few civilians who are about to starve to death. I'm afraid they will all starve to death before they even reach Konoha!

After all, no matter how chaotic the Fire Country is, as long as Konoha continues to be rich and stable, isn't it enough?

And this is also the most common idea of ​​ninjas now.

At this time, on the mountain just above Shamon's head, Uchiha Madara, who had disappeared for a long time, was silently staring at the cold moon in the sky, his heart was surging, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Maybe it wasn't sadness, nor despair and hatred. If I had to describe it, the feeling that was surging in Madara's heart would probably be sadness, overwhelming sadness.

When Shen Yue quietly appeared behind him, walked to his side silently, and stared at the desolate and cold moon hanging high in the sky with him, the cold moon also peeked at the silent and quiet master and disciple from the interweaving thin clouds.

"Shen Yue, do you think Konoha can annex the entire Fire Country?"

The whole world seemed to be silent for a long time, until Uchiha Madara suddenly broke the silence with a voice. He slowly lowered his head, and the ideals and the whole heart that were hanging high with Ming Yue also quietly fell back to the ground, but this time, his ideals were no longer drowned by the torrent of reality.

"Yes."

Before this, Shen Yue's subconscious mind actually always felt that Konoha had little to do with the entire Fire Country. She only needed to bring prosperity and stability to the people around her, but after witnessing all the suffering with her own eyes, Shen Yue really realized how small Konoha was.

It was at this moment that she really engraved the annexation of the entire Fire Country deeply in her mind.
