Uchiha girl, ignites a group pet war in Konoha

Chapter 147

Under the guidance of Shen Yue, Madara and the Senju brothers' eyes gathered on the map of the Ninja Realm.

A strange light flashed in Madara and Tobirama's eyes. It was the shock of their horizons being suddenly opened, and the throbbing that was suddenly touched in their hearts. What followed was an ambition to win.

Compared with them, Hashirama seemed a little hesitant and uncertain. He was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly:

"But, aren't we the generals of the Land of Fire? Is it a bit inappropriate to open the shogunate outside the Land of Fire?"

"Hmph, are these small countries qualified to reject Konoha?"

Faced with Hashirama's question, before Shen Yue and Tobirama could explain anything, Madara glanced at him with extreme disdain and answered arrogantly.

And just as Madara said, facing the giant existence of Konoha, no one and the country could choose to reject it, but this was not the answer Hashirama wanted.

"But if we do this, what if these small countries fall into chaos?"

Recalling the miserable situation of the Rain Country, Hashirama couldn't help but worry deeply. He was really afraid that small countries would become pawns in the struggle for hegemony among big countries, even if the big country was Konoha.

"As long as the common people live well, they won't care whether they are under the daimyo or the shogunate."

Kamizuki sighed softly. She could actually deeply understand the reasons for Hashirama's hesitation and uneasiness. She also understood that Hashirama's worries were not groundless.

However, if she had to say what she had learned in these years in the ninja world, it was that it was better to have value that could be used by others than to have nothing.

"What are the faces of the nobles and daimyo, uncle, don't you know? Instead of letting those scum continue to make trouble, it is better for us to manage them."

Hashirama also let go of his worries a little, nodded in agreement, and the four of them sat together, examining the map spread out on the table together.

After some discussion, they decided to target those lands adjacent to the Land of Fire and with significant strategic value, especially those small countries that are easy to occupy and manage.

"I want to choose the Land of Rain!"

After observing the map of the Ninja Realm for a long time, Hashirama suddenly remembered the young Hanzo of the Land of Rain, and decided to build his shogunate here.

However, this time, he was not rejected by the other three.

The Land of Rain, a strategic location at the intersection of the three major countries of Fire, Wind, and Earth, is of self-evident importance. For Konoha, bringing it under control as soon as possible will undoubtedly greatly reduce worries.

Moreover, since the Sand Village blew up the mountains that blocked rain and monsoons, the climate of the two countries has gradually returned to normal-

The Land of Wind has ushered in the long-lost rain, which has moistened the dry land and improved the ecological environment of this desert country, and the Land of Rain has also been freed from the endless rainy days, and the sky has begun to clear up.

Although it will take a long time for the climate to completely return to normal, at least the Rain Country is no longer so difficult to manage.

"I choose the Grass Country."

Ban finally chose the Grass Country next to the Rain Country. Seeing his decision, Tobirama nodded in agreement.

Although it is a common neighbor of the two strange countries of Rain Country and Wind Country, the Grass Country has an excellent climate. It is like spring all year round, with plenty of sunshine and rain, providing a very favorable environment for the growth of various crops and livestock.

Moreover, the Grass Country not only has a superior climate, but also has a large area of ​​vast plains. These flat and fertile lands are an excellent place to develop agriculture and animal husbandry.

It is precisely based on such natural advantages that the Grass Country has been a place with developed agriculture and animal husbandry since ancient times. Its name comes from the unique large grassland. After Konoha successfully occupies the Grass Country, its rich agricultural and animal husbandry resources will undoubtedly provide Konoha with a steady supply of fresh meat, eggs, milk and other ingredients.

Although the Land of Fire is also a plain area, most of the land in the country has been developed into arable land, and meat resources are relatively scarce. Therefore, eating meat has been regarded as a privilege of nobles and ninjas since ancient times, and common people can only eat meat once in a very rare occasion.

In fact, meat has only entered the tables of ordinary people in the past few years since Konoha rose to prominence, and even this change is limited to Konoha and its surrounding areas.

Although the Akimichi clan, which has a huge demand for meat, has begun to try to carry out animal husbandry in the Land of Fire over the years, they have not been able to achieve any results due to various reasons such as limited land and insufficient breeding technology.

However, Tobirama actually knows that the above beautiful words are just excuses for the Akimichi clan.

Those pigs, cattle and sheep that are still cubs are already a mess in the eyes of the Akimichi clan.The tempting delicacies, before they are fully grown, have already been served on the table and eaten by the Akimichi clan. In this case, it is really a miracle that they can achieve results!

Instead of pinning their hopes on the Akimichi clan who can't control their mouths, it is better to occupy the Grass Country as soon as possible.

After the two generals made their own decisions, the three people's eyes turned to Shenyue who had been silent.

"Shenyue, what about you?"

Shenyue pondered for a moment, and then her finger gently touched a small country on the map. Madara and the Senju brothers curiously leaned over and saw that she was pointing to the Whirlpool Country.

....

Time moved forward a little. A few days ago, Mitohime visited Shenyue. However, they said it was a visit, but the two did not inform their respective clansmen in advance. They just gathered together to eat snacks and chat.

"Kamizuki, I have something to tell you."

Wearing only home clothes, Mitohime and Kamatsuki sat casually, chatting and laughing while eating cookie crumbs everywhere. But just when the two were having fun, Mitohime suddenly got to the point, breaking the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere.

"I plan to return to the Land of Whirlpools."

"So suddenly?"

Hearing this, Kamatsuki, who was originally lazily lying on the tatami eating cookies, sat up quickly as if she was electrocuted. She looked at Mito in surprise, her eyes full of confusion.

"Since my engagement with Hashirama-sama was annulled, my father has been very angry."

Mentioning her father, Mito couldn't help but sigh and frowned sadly. Kamatsuki's heart moved, as if she understood something, and she asked tentatively:

"He won't..."

"Yes, he has made a new engagement for me."

Why does Uzumaki Ashina want to marry off the strongest person of the Uzumaki clan? What on earth is he thinking about?

Shen Yue's expression instantly became very interesting, and Mito's face also turned cold at a speed visible to the naked eye. There was an awkward silence between the two. After a long time, Shen Yue asked again:

"Mito-hime, what about your family..."

"In addition to two sisters, I have an older brother and a younger brother."

Shen Yue nodded in understanding.

No wonder Uzumaki Ashina was willing to send the talented Mito-hime to a marriage alliance. It turned out that he had no shortage of children.

Connecting the cause and effect, Shen Yue shouted in panic, and asked in a way that you must not think too much:

"Are you really going back to your hometown to get married?!"

This is the ninja world, and it is the ninja world after the end of the Warring States period. Marriage and love relationships are not like modern ones. Instead, they are closer to feudal society, full of constraints and restrictions.

Compared with ordinary women, female ninjas are better, but not much better. No matter what strength and status you have before marriage, you have to quit your job and become a housewife after marriage, and you have to work hard to give birth to children for the family. If they still want to make a career at this time, they will really be criticized.

Think about the Warring States period in the past, these female ninjas who became mothers had to watch their young children go to the battlefield with their own eyes, and eventually died in the cruel killing, and then they had to give birth to new children and repeat this cruel cycle again.

This is really, it’s a sin to think about it...

"Don’t worry, I’m not going back to get married."

Facing Shen Yue’s disgust and worry, Mito just smiled lightly, but this smile was just a fallen leaf floating on the water, and never touched the depths of her heart.

"The Uzumaki clan is very long-lived. My father has lived for a long time. I think it's time for him to enjoy his old age."

For her father's repeated attempts to control her fate, Mito's patience has finally worn out. Although she loves her father and the country of Uzumaki, this cannot be a reason for them to despise her.

Mito-hime feels that it is necessary to go back and remind her clansmen that she, Uzumaki Mito, is the strongest of the Uzumaki clan.

Her power and status must not be despised by anyone. Whether it is Uzumaki Ashina or the Uzumaki clan, they should respect her a little!

"I'm going back to be the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan and the daimyo of the country of Uzumaki."

Mito-hime smiled lightly, but her words revealed an unquestionable majesty of a superior. Even Shen Yue was completely shocked by the queen's behavior. She opened her mouth slightly and couldn't close it for a long time.

At this point, Shen Yue felt that the matter was settled. According to her understanding of the Uzumaki clan, those empty-headed red-haired monkeys were definitely no match for Queen Mito!

"Sir Shen Yue, no, I should call you Princess Shen Yue now."

Mito suddenly sat up straight and switched from a relaxed chat mode to a formal discussion mode., she bowed deeply, showing unprecedented respect and humility. Her sincere attitude was touching, but Shen Yue was at a loss and looked at her with wide eyes, not knowing what she was going to do.

"As long as you are willing to support me, I will serve you as my master. When I become a daimyo, the entire Whirlpool Country will become your future fiefdom!"

Shen Yue was a little dizzy by this sudden pie. She stood there for a long time before she came to her senses. She blinked in confusion and did not immediately choose to agree. Instead, she asked curiously:

"Hey, but, but isn't this a subordinate to others?"

When Konoha was founded, the Uzumaki clan did not agree to join the village. Why are they suddenly willing to join her country now?

At this point, Mito Ji's beautiful face suddenly showed unspeakable helplessness and anger. The sadness in her heart turned into twisted hatred at this moment, and her eyes were even covered with a layer of light mist.

Under Shen Yue's blank gaze, Mito's lips moved a few times with difficulty, and suddenly whispered in pain:

"...My clansmen in the Whirlpool Country have been captured!"

Although there is no Jinchūriki technology that can seal the tailed beasts, the Uzumaki clan is still targeted by many forces. The reason is that the Uzumaki clan members who have powerful sealing techniques and unique physiques but lack offensive means are always the favorites of major forces.

This time, because of the protection of Konoha, only one clan member was kidnapped from the Whirlpool Country. The other party also deliberately disguised it as a drowning accident in an attempt to cover up the truth, but Mito recognized the child and knew that he grew up by the sea and was very good at swimming. It is impossible for him to really drown in the sea as the clan members said!

What hurt Mito the most was that her father and elder brother, whom she had always respected the most, actually took a tacit attitude towards the disappearance of the child, as if they could ignore the fact that the Whirlpool Country was in many traps and crises. But the missing child was their blood-related clansman and relatives!

During the three years in Konoha, Mito Ji understood one thing, that is, the Whirlpool Country, her hometown that she loved and was proud of, was actually so small.

It was like a tiny leaf in the vast forest of the Ninja Realm, fragile and powerless. Any larger force could easily show its fangs to the Whirlpool Country and trample on it wantonly.

However, the reason why they have not done so until now is that they are completely intimidated by the powerful strength of Konoha and dare not act rashly.

Only by being more closely bound to Konoha can the Whirlpool Country gain a foothold in the disputes of the Ninja Realm and avoid being swallowed by other forces. Therefore, the Whirlpool Country must be tied more tightly to Konoha!

"Besides, don't you need someone to work for you? If so, is there anyone more suitable than me?"

At this point, Mito's face showed a hint of clever cunning.

Among the many forces in Konoha, Mito chose Shenyue out of careful consideration and a little selfishness in many aspects.

On the one hand, she was deeply impressed by Shenyue's intelligence and strength, and Shenyue was still very young, but this youth was her precious capital, giving her unlimited possibilities and potential.

On the other hand, Mito also knew that Shenyue would definitely continue to stay in Konoha in the future, and Uchiha Madara would never let her go, so she naturally could not personally take charge of the Whirlpool Country.

After the Whirlpool Country became Shenyue's fiefdom, although there would be some changes in name, the real power would still be firmly in Mito's hands.

For Mito, this was not even a kind of giving up -

She just gave up the superficial reputation in exchange for a more practical and long-term protection. In this case, why not do it?
