Chapter 186: I still have family
"The Sand Village is almost under your control. The economy and the lifeline of survival are in your hands. Are you worried?"
In the past few days, he has learned about all the policies and orders given by Xingye Feng since he took office.
The more I watched, the more frightened I became. Their methods were unheard of in the ninja world, and they completely destroyed the Sand Village's will to resist without bloodshed.
Konoha had money, food and water, but the Sand Ninja were short of supplies, and survival issues were always with them.
This series of orders from Hoshino Kaede is equivalent to cutting off the firewood from under the pot. People need to eat and drink water, and these things are controlled by Konoha. It can be said that this indirectly shakes the foundation of the Sand Village.
If we wait another ten years, the Sand Ninja will have no power to resist, and the country will eventually be annexed.
In response to this, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but shudder all over and felt frightened inside.
"It's still early, but you're right, those people are like meat on the chopping block to me."
"It's not just the Sand Ninja. Konoha has already begun making corresponding plans for other countries."
"The terrain of the Rock Village is similar to that of the Sand Village. There are many rocks and the terrain is steep, making it extremely inconvenient to travel."
"As for the Hidden Cloud Village, it's more troublesome and more martial."
Xingye Feng smiled slightly and explained the geography and information analysis of each village as if he knew them all.
It is not difficult to see that the top leaders within Konoha have already vaguely sensed Kaede Hoshino's layout and are secretly infiltrating.
Xingye Feng acquiesced to all of this and let them do it.
"Hmph, this is so complicated and troublesome." Uchiha Madara folded his arms and snorted.
Xingye Feng picked up the tea, smiled and took a sip to moisten his throat, then said: "Wars between villages are never simple."
"Just like when you first proposed to simply destroy the other villages and unify Konoha, it was strongly opposed by everyone."
Hearing this, Uchiha Madara's face suddenly darkened, as if he recalled some bad memories.
He had proposed it to Hashirama in private, but was rejected outright. However, he did not give up and brought it up again in the meeting.
The result was not surprising at all, and everyone still opposed it.
Xingye Feng said calmly: "In the past, no one in Konoha held the power. The power was dispersed. Everyone had their own ideas, and it was difficult to unify them."
"Even teachers are like this, so you have failed."
But then, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in Xingye Feng's eyes, his sharp aura was fully revealed, and the ambition in his heart was ignited.
He said with great confidence: "But it's different now. Konoha's power is centralized and the whole is united."
"The country is rich and the people are strong, the army is strong and the horses are strong. The seedlings of the past have long since grown into towering trees."
Uchiha Madara was in a daze. After a long while, he looked deeply at Hoshino Kaede and uttered a word as if expressing emotion.
"I now regret not competing with Hashirama for you."
Xingye Feng joked, "Am I so popular?"
Uchiha Madara snorted, then stood up and said, "Just a casual remark, I'm leaving now."
Xingye Feng smiled and said, "Where are you going? Do you want me to show you the way?"
"No need." Uchiha Madara didn't even turn his head, said this proudly and left quickly.
Xingye Feng smiled and watched his departing back without saying a word until he disappeared.
......
Sand Village, Kazekage Building.
The Third Kazekage's eyes were uncertain, and his hands were tightly clenched on the report in front of him.
There were bloodshot eyes, which showed how bad his mood was. He was on the verge of a rage.
"Konoha! What a great Konoha!"
"This method is truly brilliant." Fengying gritted his teeth, his face grim.
But then he suddenly deflated like a balloon, and slumped in his chair, feeling extremely powerless.
Because he found that he was powerless to do anything about it.
The Sand Village has no chips at all to challenge Konoha, not even a single one.
Just when he was feeling desperate and helpless, Chiyo walked in with a tired look on her face.
"The Wind Shadow has been suppressed."
Hearing this news, Fengying smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Chiyo shook her head and sighed, "It's just some hard work, not worth mentioning."
"The current situation of the Sand Shinobi is very critical."
As a veteran of the Sand Ninja Village, he witnessed the establishment and development of the Sand Ninja Village and is the oldest person in the village.
Coming from her mouth, it shows how serious the situation is.
"Merchants in this country have no room to survive. Most of them are dependent on the Konoha caravans."
"If this continues, our economic lifeline will be cut off by other countries."
Fengying's expression became even more bitter when he heard this, and he closed his eyes reluctantly.
“There are no tradable resources in the country, nothing except minerals.”
"Not to mention, we have paid war reparations over the years and have no extra money to support them."
"In the final analysis, Konoha's timing was too good. They had our throat firmly grasped. By the time we reacted, it was already too late."
A sad atmosphere suddenly appeared out of nowhere and filled the entire room, becoming increasingly heavier.
This kind of soft knife cutting flesh, making people watch the village perish before their eyes, is the most tormenting thing.
"Is there really no way to delay it?" Fengying asked the elder a final question.
But knowledge and experience cannot transform into resources. Chiyo frowned, and the gloom between her brows could not be dissipated.
The Kazekage closed his eyes in pain, and the Sand Village was powerless to save the situation...
Chiyo pondered for a long while, sighed deeply, raised her tired face and looked at Fengying and said.
"The Sand Ninja will not be the last. Konoha's appetite is definitely not limited to this."
"Perhaps, the ninja world will be unified in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, Fengying's pupils shrank. The fact that he was unwilling to accept deep in his heart was dug out, and he remained silent.
Because he had thought about all these things, but deep down he was unwilling to admit that the ninja world would be unified by Konoha.
Chiyo didn't pause. She continued, "I think you should talk to that person."
Hearing this, Fengying said in a hoarse voice: "What are you talking about? The Sand Ninja is just his prey. Would you feel guilty for stepping on an ant?"
"No, if that's the case, why would he talk to me?"
Chiyo shook her head, walked to the window and looked down, and said softly: "Even if Konoha swallows up the Sand Ninja, the process will not be easy, and there may even be resistance from the villagers."
"So, what you want to talk about is how to help Konoha calm people's hearts."
When Fengying heard this, his eyes widened. This was no different from aiding the enemy!
He couldn't help but ask, "Have you really given up? The Sand Village was founded by your husband, so you don't have any regrets at all?"
In the Sand Village, when it comes to feelings for the village, Chiyo is definitely more attached than anyone else.
This is her life, created by her husband's hard work.
To say so is equivalent to giving up years of persistence.
Chiyo smiled slightly: "The longer you live, the more you understand, and you know exactly what you want in your heart."
"Konoha's dominance is inevitable, and the fate of the Sand Ninjas cannot be changed by human power."
"In this case, holding on in vain will only save one more life."
"What's more..." She paused for a moment and smiled lovingly.
"I still have a family."
After hearing this, Fengying remained silent for a long time, and then he sighed.
