Chapter 705: The Great Tang Ping Returns to His Loyal Skyguard Tower!
Chapter 705: The Great Tang Ping Returns to His Loyal Skyguard Tower!
Skyguard Tower!
Now, it is renowned far and wide.
In the past, it was only known for its economic prowess, on par with Kyoto and Konoha.
But over time, it surpassed both places.
With a population of over a million, coupled with 'industrialization' and port advantages, it had unparalleled conditions, allowing it to surpass the other two places.
If it weren't for the presence of the Skyguard Tower, the more it developed, the more it would be coveted by others.
The rule of the Ninja World is 'survival of the fittest.'
Especially for ninjas, they are mere enforcers and tools.
Without strength, despite having wealth, they would be subjected to intelligence theft, city destruction, and more.
The good news is that the Skyguard Tower itself has formidable strength.
Not to mention Tang Ping's 404 Squad, just the presence of Uchiha Yaya and her branch, Uchiha Chouho, is enough to deter any covetous eyes.
They can fight!
This is the most prominent impression the Uchiha clan gives.
Not to mention, Tang Ping has also incorporated various ninja clans like Mizonomi, Yuhi, and others into the Skyguard Tower.
Recently, even the Hyuga Clan has been absorbed.
Hmm, the Hyuga Clan, who arrived at the Skyguard Tower a little earlier, no longer bothered with any disguise this time.
Since they were about to break ties with Konoha, Tang Ping naturally didn't need to disguise himself as he did during the night of the clan's extermination, when he rescued hundreds of Uchiha members.
They were openly defiant, unafraid of Konoha causing trouble.
Floating Tower!
There are also Floating Towers in the Skyguard Tower.
However, they are built in the outer district near the port.
Although it's called the outer district, it used to be two kilometers away from the central Tea Mountain, but as the city expanded, the Floating Towers were eventually surrounded by the city.
There is also a Floating Tower at the port, and it's even larger in scale.
The two Floating Towers serve different purposes.
If it's for tourism or VIPs, they dock at the outer district's Floating Tower.
For cargo transportation, heavy-duty loading, and more, they dock at the port's Floating Tower.
The entire Skyguard Tower is densely organized and orderly, with clean and refreshing streets.
There is even a dedicated 'sanitation' profession, ensuring the cleanliness of the Skyguard Tower.
For the Skyguard Tower, which has no shortage of funds, maintaining sanitation is not an issue.
The Skyguard Tower is generous in its investments in education, sanitation, land development, research, welfare, and more.
It is these investments, coupled with the Sunlight Will indoctrination, that have made the Skyguard Tower's ninjas unwaveringly loyal.
Just like in the Mist Hidden Village, they are eager to openly declare themselves as Skyguard Tower ninjas at any moment.
The floating ship is connected to the Floating Tower's arm-like 'Dock Bridge.'
Clap! The barrier was lowered, allowing Tang Ping to step onto the bridge.
"Lord!!!" N
Simultaneous voices echoed in the Floating Tower.
This time, Tang Ping had been away for a good while, so it was natural for the high-ranking officials to gather upon his return.
Places like the River Country, Tea Country, and the Wind Country mining area didn't require the presence of high-ranking officials.
Previously, there weren't enough personnel.
But now, the Skyguard Tower has no shortage of manpower, so most high-ranking officials have returned here.
Of course, they are also aware of the impending Fourth Great Ninja War, and even Hikao and Akimi Mei have brought their trusted subordinates.
However, in such a public setting, they wear masks and disguise some of their distinctive features, so their true identities remain hidden.
The Skyguard Tower is now the center of the Ninja World, with countless spies and informants gathering intelligence.
Moreover, they have legitimate identities, making it difficult to drive them away without a valid reason.
Unless the Skyguard Tower disregards the rules and takes a forceful approach.
If they did that, they couldn't expect a favorable business environment, so there are many spies around, which is why Hikao and Akimi Mei are in disguise.
Tang Ping's gaze swept over Uchiha Hachirou, Hane, Noyu, Yuhi Shimei, Hyuga Chizuru, and others, and he felt extremely satisfied.
Compared to Konoha's F4, the Skyguard Tower's high-ranking officials are both in quality and quantity.
"Let's go!"
Tang Ping said, leading the way towards Tea Mountain.
Walking on the wide and smooth streets, observing the well-maintained flower beds, street lamps, and the attire and expressions of the passersby, Tang Ping was very pleased.
Busy yet content!
This was the state of most of the residents.
And in the distant sky, there were numerous dense black dots hovering.
Gliders!
They are now the most popular sport in the Ninja World.
As long as the skills are good, there is absolutely no need to worry about treatment and future prospects.
The Lighthouse of the Ninja World!
Calling the Skyguard Tower by this title is no exaggeration.
As merchants spread the word, more and more people became aware of this title, and many ninjas even flocked to join them because of it.
After a while, everyone arrived and took their seats in the Sunlight Tower's conference room.
Uchiha Yaya, Jingxiang, Hane, Hachirou, Yuhi Shimei, Uzumaki Kaizou, Hyuga Chizuru, Yamashita Noyu, Kurenai, Ashihaka Seifu, and Izumi were all present.
Hyuga Tsukikage stood behind Douhei.
Her position in the Skyguard Tower was unique because, for her, the only person she cared about was Douhei, so she didn't hold any official position.
Akimi Mei appeared with Ao, Nagai Takashi, and Hikao, who had removed their disguises.
Their identities were not secrets to the core members.
After all, they secretly controlled the two major villages, and if the core members were not aware of this, it would be comical if unexpected issues arose in their arrangements.
For example, if Yamashita Noyu didn't know that the Mist Ninjas were their allies and sent spies to gather information... So there was no need to hide this internally.
"I believe you all know that the Fourth Great Ninja War is about to enter the full-scale battle phase, and the Skyguard Tower has become the besieged party, enjoying the experience of being surrounded!"
Douhei never wasted words and went straight to the point.
The Fourth Great Ninja War!
Although it had started earlier, the Cloud Ninjas and Rock Ninjas had not yet exerted their full strength, and it was only now that the main forces were fully engaged.
At the same time, the Skyguard Tower also experienced the 'Leaf Village' treatment.
Being besieged!
In the previous Great Ninja Wars, the Leaf Village had always been like a god descending to crush their enemies, earning the title of the 'leader of the Five Great Ninja Villages.'
Now, this test had fallen upon the Skyguard Tower.
If it were before the Daimyo Coalition's attack and the Myouboku Mountain battle, perhaps no one would have thought that it would take the combined efforts of the three great ninja villages and the backing of the great nations to deal with a small tower like the Skyguard Tower.
But now, after the Skyguard Tower had made a few splashes and realized the extent of Douhei's power, the several great ninja villages, daimyo, and nobles had no hesitation in joining forces.
If they didn't suppress such a potentially infinite power, it would affect their future interests.
It was this common concern that led these forces to cooperate sincerely, even temporarily setting aside their mutual hatred.
It should be noted that the Cloud Ninjas and Rock Ninjas were mortal enemies.
Even the Third Raikage, the father of Ye, was killed by Daiki, yet they were now cooperating, which shows how great the threat of the Skyguard Tower was to them.
Getting to the main point.
"Our best move now is to take the initiative and crush one of them first. I suggest we launch a surprise attack on the Leaf Village!"
Uchiha Yaya spoke up first.
As the deputy in charge of the Skyguard Tower's military affairs, her proposal was very Uchiha-like.
It was a straightforward, head-on approach, and with the Skyguard Tower's strength, it was indeed feasible.
It was only because of the casualties in the Myouboku Mountain battle that Uchiha Yaya was suggesting an attack on one side rather than attacking both simultaneously.
As for the surprise attack on the Leaf Village, it was because she believed they were the closest target. If they didn't attack them, who else would they attack?
"No, until I give the order, no plans to attack the Leaf Village are permitted. And I need to 'retreat in defeat'!"
Douhei decisively rejected the plan.
If they played like that, the Six Paths Sage would tear off his disguise and intervene in an instant.
Did they really think he was a dead man just because he was in the Pure Land?
Anyway, until he reached the Six Paths level, he would not personally attack the Leaf Village.
Of course, if others took action, they could encourage and assist them.
"Retreat in defeat?"
The high-level members looked at each other, completely baffled by Douhei's intention.
"That's right. Some fish haven't entered the net yet, and we need to lure them in before we can cast the net. Since we've gone to the trouble of setting the net, we should maximize our gains!"
Douhei nodded, indicating that he was not joking.
He also explained his reasoning.
Regarding Myouboku Mountain's toads and the Dragon Earth Cave, although they had agreed to assist the coalition, they might not be at the forefront.
If they sensed that the situation was unfavorable, they might retreat.
Therefore, showing weakness would be necessary to draw them out.
Naturally, no one would oppose his arrangement.
Next, they discussed matters related to the Wind and Water Countries.
