The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Chapter 277 Changes in the Rain Country

Once people get busy, time flies. Uchiha Mikoto and the others didn't even notice it yet, but in a blink of an eye, it was already half a month after Nagato attacked Konoha.

Over the past two weeks, the Snow Village has undergone rapid changes, becoming a bustling scene. Large tracts of previously vacant land have been occupied by newly joined ninja clans and ninjas, with new buildings being built. A large number of operational management personnel have also joined the Snow Village's operations.

With the experienced talents of Konoha, Mikoto, Izumi and the others could finally breathe a sigh of relief and finally have more time to receive Hinata Kaze's rewards.

At the same time, many fighters were selected from those who migrated from Konoha to the Snow Shinobi Village and mixed into the original Snow Shinobi Village's combat sequence for training. After a period of time, they have been able to adapt well to the Snow Shinobi Village's combat methods.

The standard chakra armor and a large number of newly developed ninja tools of the Snow Village ninjas made some ninjas who were frugal even in using detonating tags stare blankly. Some ninjas even cheered and cursed Sarutobi Hiruzen on the spot.

Of course, there were actually quite a few frictions during this period of adjustment, but with the intimidation of Hinata Feng and the hard work of Mikoto and the others, both the former Snow Country ninjas and the former Konoha ninjas all remained in a very restrained state.

After finding a place to stay and a job, the Konoha people quickly became familiar with the Snow Village and settled down.

In fact, it is impossible not to be familiar with it. The overall environment and personnel of the Snow Country are too similar to those of Konoha. If you calculate carefully, half of the people of Konoha have joined the Snow Shadow Village.

Some people occasionally lose their focus and think that they are still living in Konoha Village, and that what happened before was just a bizarre dream.

Originally, the environment of the Snow Country was bitterly cold, and the people of Konoha were not used to it, but in recent times, the environment of the Snow Country has become increasingly warmer.

This bizarre phenomenon also caused undercurrents in the Snow Country, and many people were saying that this was all due to the divine power of Lord Xueying.

Because there are indeed people who swear that they saw the ice and snow around Lord Xueying melt away silently, as if all the cold air was swallowed by an invisible mouth.

This also made Hinata Feng's influence in the Snow Country more deeply rooted in people's hearts, and many people directly worshipped him as a god.

When Hinata Feng heard this news from Mitarashi Anko and was asked by her whether it was true, he neither admitted nor denied it, but just smiled faintly.

Compared to the thriving Snow Village, the situation in Konoha Village was extremely dire. After Nagato's attack, Konoha's warning barrier was completely shattered, and a large number of manpower were lost. Now Konoha was like a sieve, and all kinds of information were transmitted at a rapid speed.

A lot of information was passed on one after another from the intelligence personnel lurking in Konoha, most of which were clear video footage, which made Hinata Feng and the others laugh at themselves.

Just as Hinata Feng had expected, the ninja village under the control of Danzo Shimura was indeed a makeshift one, and its overall operation was a mess.

Danzo, who was used to having the final say and ruling with iron-blooded force within the Root, replicated this approach in the newly built Konoha Village, adopting a high-pressure control attitude towards everyone.

Although on the surface he did not completely enslave the people of Konoha Village, he was actually implementing his dictatorial rule. In just half a month, the village ninjas who remained in the ruins of Konoha were complaining in their hearts, and their remaining attachment to Konoha was almost exhausted.

If they had the capital to leave Konoha, I guess a large number of people would want to disband Konoha or live outside of Konoha.

After Danzo proclaimed himself the Fifth Hokage and took control of Konoha, Naruto was placed under strict surveillance and was not allowed to leave at will.

Kakashi, Might Guy and other ninjas who had previously stopped him from dealing with Naruto were basically all sent out by Danzo to perform some hard and tiring tasks. They were constantly working like cattle and horses, and basically did not spend much time staying in Konoha.

Konoha Village truly had a deep foundation, having managed to hold on despite all the devastation and destruction. Although they were practically on the verge of collapse, no one had actually starved to death, and under Danzo's pressure, they were able to manage to survive.

Since Danzo came to power, he ordered the contraction of border defense lines, closed a large number of border outposts and transferred all the ninjas in these positions back to Konoha. In this way, the manpower in Konoha Village was restored a lot.

Shrinking border defenses was a risky move that would cut off one's own limbs, but Danzo could no longer think of any other solution. Of course, it was also because the overall environment of the ninja world had become quiet and other ninja villages had no ability to attack Konoha, so Danzo dared to make such a decision.

A comparison shows that the Sand Village was already in turmoil after being attacked by two ordinary members of the Akatsuki Organization, and the upper echelons suffered even more severe losses than Konoha. The information of the Kumo Village was also leaked, and the masters suffered heavy losses, including the death of the Fourth Raikage. How could such a Kumo Village have the confidence to attack others?

Danzo wasn't actually worried about the Kirigakure, a village known for its secrecy and reserve. Instead, he was deeply concerned about the Iwagakure. Ōnoki, despite his age, was a tough opponent. Fortunately, the Iwagakure remained quiet and didn't take advantage of Konoha's heavy losses to stir up trouble.

Perhaps it was because each ninja village remained quiet and licked its own wounds, and Ohnoki did not dare to be the first to attack Konoha, and finally ended up being besieged by those ninja villages that suffered heavy losses.

In addition, the situation of Konoha Village shocked the entire ninja world, big and small ninja villages, and they all became extremely wary of Akatsuki.

During this period of time, they have devoted a lot of energy to gathering intelligence on the Akatsuki organization and paying attention to the movements of the Rain Country. The ninja world has been calm for a while.

This situation originally made Danzo feel relieved, but he didn't expect that the environment outside was fine, but something happened to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Perhaps dissatisfied with Konoha's performance in recent years, the Daimyo's support for Konoha was much less than before. He cut a large amount of funding and turned to recruiting independent ninja clans and wandering ninjas on his own.

In addition, the daimyo was quite dissatisfied with Danzo's decision to serve as the Fifth Hokage on his own initiative, and kept delaying the formal response and consent, so that Danzo always wore a reserve title.

"The ninja world has been so peaceful lately!"

Hinata Feng, who had just returned from training on the blessed land of the moon, stretched lazily with a very bored expression on his face.

He has reached an extremely advanced level in his comprehension and practice of Baguazhang. There is little hope of a breakthrough in a short period of time, so he can only continue to comprehend and accumulate merit.

Just when I was feeling very bored and was about to get up and go for a walk, Hinata Feng suddenly showed a mysterious smile on his face.

"It's interesting. I can stretch my muscles after being idle for a while."

Just now, his blood shadow clone left at the border of the Rain Country sent back a message that a strong chakra fluctuation broke out in the Rain Country!
