Chapter 763: Brotherhood, In Spirit, But Unreachable by Phone
The Skyguard Tower had returned to its pre-war state, but the flow of people and ships had significantly decreased.
After all, the Water Country still maintained a hostile attitude towards the Skyguard Tower, frequently causing trouble on the seas.
As a result, the Daimyo of the Three Great Countries sent envoys to the New Mist Hidden Village, expressing their great satisfaction. From now on, the Water Country would be a member of the Allied Forces, and anyone who dared to disagree would face their wrath.
They even granted the Water Country the freedom to trade within their borders.
What a lucrative opportunity!
With countless specialties from the New Mist Hidden Village, there was no concern about market demand.
As for the Sand Hidden Village, the Allied Forces had also softened their stance.
Previously, they would have never agreed, as the Sand Hidden Village had gone too far.
Today, they dared to kill the Wind Country's nobility and Daimyo; tomorrow, they could target the Allied Forces themselves. No one dared to imagine what they might do the day after.
But at least the Sand Hidden Village showed intentions to join the Allied Forces.
If they were rejected, and the Sand Hidden Village joined forces with the Skyguard Tower... the thought was unbearable, and no one dared to imagine such a scenario.
Even if it was just to prevent the Sand Ninja from joining the Skyguard Tower, the Allied Forces had to hold their noses and accept the Sand Hidden Village.
As for the Wind Country's Daimyo?
Brotherhood, in spirit, but unreachable by phone!
Those who understand, understand.
Sacrificial Lambs!
The Wind Country's Daimyo and nobility were directly offered as sacrifices.
As long as it ensured the Sand Hidden Village's joining, the sacrifice was worth it.
It could be said that the Skyguard Tower's strength forced the Allied Forces to desperately court the Mist and Sand Hidden Villages.
If the Skyguard Tower were defeated, the Allied Forces might have to deal with these two powerful ninja villages next.
Douhei and his group returned to the Skyguard Tower under the watchful eyes of the masses.
It wasn't that he enjoyed such grand occasions, but at this critical moment, he had to make an appearance to stabilize the people's morale.
Especially for the trading guilds and merchants, seeing him in person would reassure them to continue trading with the Skyguard Tower.
Although the Allied Forces had 'sanctioned' the Skyguard Tower, the allure of profit was irresistible to the merchants.
They would dare anything for the sake of profit.
As for the losses at sea?
Apologies, but as long as the gains outweighed the losses, they weren't afraid of the Mist Ninja.
After this great battle, the people of the Skyguard Tower developed a newfound sense of pride and glory.
It was as if, in the history before their crossing, even if the United States had a highly developed economy, it would still be seen as a pushover and a cash cow by other countries if it hadn't won the world war.
It was the victory that solidified the United States' formidable unity and established its dominance.
The Skyguard Tower was experiencing a similar situation.
After defeating the Allied Forces' siege, it was natural to feel proud and honored.
Unity!
Although they had it before, it was due to the benefits and perks, along with the maintenance of the Blazing Sun Will.
But from now on, the Skyguard Tower's unity would undoubtedly be the strongest in the Ninja World.
There would be benefits and honors, and no more nonsense!
Along the way, Douhei listened to Naya's intelligence report.
"What? You mean the Allied Forces haven't made any moves?"
If he didn't know that Naya wasn't one to joke around, Douhei might have thought she was pulling his leg.
Reality was indeed stranger than fiction.
If it were him, he would have launched a second offensive at all costs or employed strategies and conspiracies.
But the Allied Forces did nothing, except station their retreating forces outside the Skyguard Tower's borders to maintain a blockade.
"That's right, they're all shirking responsibility and none of them want to take the lead in opposing us!" Naya said, her expression slightly odd.
Perhaps even she hadn't anticipated the nobility and the Daimyo to be so... eccentric.
There was no other way; the ninja were too pure, and their long-held perspectives made it impossible to imagine the nobility and the Daimyo could be so rotten.
In Douhei's eyes, the Daimyo and the nobility were paper tigers, and this reaction wasn't entirely unexpected.
"Haha, you'll see the true colors of these rotten folks soon enough!" Douhei chuckled lightly.
Only after witnessing their actions would one realize how despicable they truly were.
The Ninja World was a place where the worst prevailed.
The Daimyo and the nobility only appeared 'not bad' in comparison to the chaotic regions.
With the appearance of the Skyguard Tower, their incompetence and decadence were directly exposed.
In addition to the movements of the major powers, Honda Ou, Hachida, and others also reported on the internal situation and developments.
It can only be said that the Skyguard Tower is currently in a 'recovery period'.
This Great Shinobi War has also been a severe blow to them.
After all, they have consumed a vast amount of resources, and the orchards and farms on the outskirts have been directly burned by black oil, making recovery a challenging task.
The good news is that not too many people died.
But the losses are indeed significant, so they are in the process of recovery.
Perhaps, the Allied Forces are also aware of this and are preparing to drag the war out, aiming to wear them down.
After all, with hundreds of thousands of people, the required resources are not a small amount.
Without the output from these fertile lands, combined with the Mist Hidden Village's fleet blockade from the sea and their land blockade, the Skyguard Tower could be dragged to its demise.
Regarding this, Tang Ping was unaware of their plans; otherwise, he would only express that they were 'thinking too much'.
The Skyguard Tower's land was affected, but other places were not! Not to mention the Wind Country and the Water Country, even the Kusa Country and the Tea Country alone could easily supply the Skyguard Tower's needs and have a surplus.
If it were the Ninja World's farming methods, being able to feed themselves would already be impressive.
However, Tang Ping adopted a 'mechanical' farming method, significantly improved the seeds, and had the Miko manage the production. For the Ninja World's farmers, this was a devastating blow.
The output was more than they could consume! It's only because they have taken over the Water Country and the Wind Country now; otherwise, the harvest would have overflowed the warehouses long ago.
Even with the consumption of hundreds of thousands of people from the Skyguard Tower, it's still like a drop in the bucket.
And the most troublesome transportation is not an issue.
Setting aside the ground effect flying craft, even without them, it's not a problem.
The reason is that several locations can be connected by sea.
Even in the inland areas, there are 'airships' to ensure that transportation is not an issue.
After listening to the reports from various aspects, Tang Ping also issued some instructions and then arrived at the Radiant Sun Building.
Upon entering the conference room, over ten high-ranking officials sat on both sides of the long table.
"Next, we will engage in a 'cold war' with the Allied Forces, which means we will use any means other than military force to weaken them!"
Tang Ping clarified this point first.
After all, with the subordinates under his command, they were all eager to counterattack, and he had to dispel this dangerous idea.
Purifying everything with flames and creating a pure Ninja World! This could be said to be the purpose and mission of the Skyguard Tower.
Now that they see the opportunity, it's not surprising that everyone is a bit excited, which is why Tang Ping had to personally speak up to calm them down.
"Sir, if we launch a single attack, we can tear open the Allied Forces' defense line, occupy the Fire Country, and destroy the Leaf Village. Are we going to give up this opportunity?"
Ina-Kaji, an elite Jonin who was being cultivated as a core member, couldn't hold back and spoke up.
He wasn't questioning Tang Ping but expressing his own thoughts or the true feelings of the Skyguard Tower's Shinobi forces.
The Fire Country!
The most fertile and powerful country in the Ninja World, and now the opportunity is right in front of them, so it's understandable that they are struggling to control themselves.
"Impossible!" Tang Ping shook his head lightly and explained, "The Leaf Village cannot be destroyed, and even if we occupy the Fire Country, we won't be able to digest it. If we forcefully occupy it, we will suffer from indigestion. We don't just want it in name!"
He provided his reasoning.
For his subordinates, he never played the Enigma game and directly explained the reasons.
As long as Rikudo is not dead, the Leaf Village cannot be destroyed. Even if it were truly destroyed, they can resurrect in minutes.
So, Tang Ping has always adopted a 'bleeding' strategy.
Continuously drawing the Leaf Village's blood to strengthen their own forces.
The results have been immense!
After all, the Skyguard Tower's growth is largely attributed to the Leaf Village.
At the same time, the Fire Country's situation is too complex. Once occupied, they will face constant harassment and attacks, not to mention they lack enough Miko and management personnel.
Digesting the Wind Country and the Water Country is already their limit, and they have even advanced the deployment of personnel who are not yet fully trained.
Adding the Fire Country to the mix is simply impossible.
After hearing Tang Ping's explanation, Ina-Kaji was a bit disappointed but understood what needed to be done.
"By the way, it's also time to change the name of the Skyguard Tower. What do you think of the name 'Radiant Sun Country'?"
Tang Ping threw out a 'bomb'.
