Changes Arrive in the Land of Demons
Chapter 109 Changes Arrive in the Land of Demons
After Hanzo of the Salamander died, the Rain Ninja were defeated and fled, and at this time, Akatsuki did not have the strength and scale to take over the country.
It is foreseeable that for some time to come, at least during the Third Shinobi World War, the entire Land of Rain will be plunged into violent turmoil.
"You... succeeded?"
Nagato, panting, approached Uchiha Mo, his face filled with disbelief.
After Hanzo the Salamander died, his men scattered and fled, allowing Nagato to escape as well.
"7
Mo glanced at the head on the ground and slowly put the Futsu-no-Mitama back into its sheath.
"Remember your promise."
After saying that, Mo stepped away from Nagato's side and slowly walked out of Amegakure.
Nagato lowered his head, looking at Hanzo's head on the ground, a look of terror on his face.
"Hanzo—don't think that death is the end of it all—"
Having avenged his great enemy, but not personally, left Nagato with a lingering sense of unease. Thus, he slowly made a decision in his heart that differed from the original story.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Sumi returned to the base outside Amegakure first.
Pushing open the warehouse door, Mo looked up at his people.
"I'm gone."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stood up, put on their hoods, and followed Uchiha Mo out of the warehouse.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a tall figure suddenly rushed out from the side and grabbed Mo's arm.
"Huh?! You woman! What are you doing?!"
"Let go of my hand right now!"
Uchiha Hina and Uchiha Yakumi, who were following behind Mo, instantly turned cold and revealed their Sharingan.
Hina reached out and grabbed Konan's shoulder, but Konan only looked at Uchiha Sumire and anxiously asked, "You're back? Where's Nagato?"
Mo slowly turned his head, and their eyes met. A flash of scarlet light suddenly appeared in Mo's eyes.
Xiao Nan froze instantly, then released her grip with a blank expression, slowly stood up, and walked back to her room.
Seeing this, Hina withdrew her outstretched hand.
"Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo strode forward, and everyone hurriedly followed, no one caring about the little incident that had just occurred.
The group crossed the border of the Land of Rain, traversed the Land of Birds and the Land of Bears, and finally arrived at the border of the Land of Demons on the second day!
Because the Third Shinobi World War is currently underway, the entire shinobi world is extremely turbulent. As a result, the group encountered many reckless bandits and wandering shinobi on their journey, hoping to try their luck against them.
However, they had clearly chosen the wrong target. The Uchiha were never pushovers. Mo brought a full twelve Jonin and nearly ten elite Chunin with him on this trip.
Adding Mo himself, such strength is more than enough to overthrow a small country. How could ordinary bandits and wandering ninjas compare to him?
However, as they approached the territory of the Land of Demons, they suddenly noticed that there seemed to be far fewer of these wandering ninjas and bandits.
Mo stood on the border between the Bear Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He needed to locate the core city of the Demon Kingdom, and try to avoid the outposts and patrols within and along the borders of the Demon Kingdom.
After all, the purpose of everyone's trip was to occupy rather than invade, and Mo himself understood that the Uchiha were a clan that was only suited for fighting but not for management.
Although there are indeed a few talented individuals within the clan who are skilled in management, that is simply not enough for the vast number of Uchiha members.
Therefore, Mo cannot have too much impact on the Kingdom of Demons as a whole, to the point that it falls into turmoil or completely changes the original political structure.
What Mo needs is to modify the entire Land of Demons within its original framework, making it serve the Uchiha clan entirely while keeping the overall structure largely unchanged.
In this way, the Uchiha clan only needs to shoulder part of the combat responsibility, and can simply enjoy the rest.
Mo wouldn't worry about the Uchiha being exploited because of their special status, because the Sharingan's genjutsu would only be loyal to the Uchiha.
After observing for a while, Mo chose a direction, bypassed several outposts on the border of the Demon Kingdom, and continued to advance towards the central region of the country.
Once inside the Land of Demons, the atmosphere suddenly became much calmer. The group moved extremely fast, and after only a few hours, they could vaguely see a bustling village appearing on the horizon.
This village is very large, roughly half the size of Konoha, and its architectural style is closer to that of the Land of Fire, with most houses built of wood and mudstone.
In particular, the palace located in the very center of the village, which is significantly taller than the other buildings, is the residence of the "shrine maiden".
"This is the Village of Witches? I never imagined such a small country could be so prosperous!"
Hina followed Uchiha Mo down the street, her eyes scanning the surroundings with curiosity and a hint of amazement on her face.
In the ninja world, even the ninja villages of major powers do not live very comfortably. Sunagakure has the worst environment and is extremely poor. In addition, Kirigakure has no land resources, Iwagakure is surrounded by desert, and Kumogakure is located deep in the canyons.
If even large countries face such challenges, imagine how small nations struggling to survive are; a decade free from the ravages of war is already a luxury for them.
As the group traveled along, they discovered that the Land of Demons was not only orderly with few bandits and wandering ninjas, but even the "Village of Witches" was not as backward as they had imagined.
Although its buildings and population are still far smaller than those of Konoha, it already exudes a sense of prosperity. The villagers walking on the streets wear confident smiles, are neatly dressed, and create a peaceful atmosphere.
"Indeed, although it looks a bit poor, it's still quite adequate as another base for our Uchiha clan."
Kazuya nodded in agreement.
After entering the land of demons, the group removed their cloaks, and a group of men wearing black high-collared battle robes casually mingled into the village of witches.
Soon, a group of patrolling guards carrying spears and bows and arrows ran into the crowd on the street.
"...
""
The Uchiha group stopped in their tracks, and the two groups stood on the street.
A young man standing in front of the guards stared at the Uchiha group's faces for a moment, then stepped forward and asked with some confusion, "You—"
However, before he could finish speaking, the leader suddenly raised his hand to stop the young man, and looked up at Mo.
"Let's go, there's no problem."
The guards around them looked puzzled, but they still followed the leader and turned to leave, leaving the Uchiha group standing there.
"?"
"What does this mean?"
