Chapter 091: Punitive Expedition Against the Land of Fire

Bandits, robbers, wandering samurai, and even gangsters all exist in the world of Naruto.

And they are deeply embedded in the lives of ordinary people.

For instance, Wang Bo was once targeted by a group of wandering samurai who tried to rob him of his money.

Besides these people, the Naruto world even has a Jashin cult, and what's more terrifying is that these cults are not ordinary ones but true Jashin cults, the most famous of which is the man Hidan.

His immortal body was created by the cult, and he himself is a fanatical believer in the Jashin cult.

From this, it can be seen that this world is very chaotic.

It's just that most of the story's perspective is focused on the ninja, directly ignoring these people, and even the daimyo rarely appear in the plot.

But outside the plot, these armies play a role in stabilizing the Land of Fire.

After Haku defeated the ninja guarding the daimyo, he quickly subdued the army. In the face of a powerhouse like Haku, an army composed of ordinary people had little combat effectiveness.

Faced with such an invincible enemy, the army had only two choices.

The first choice was to die, and the second was to surrender.

And living is the inner desire of every person, so after hesitating for a while, they quickly chose to surrender and defect to Haku. Haku took the opportunity to firmly grasp this army in his hands.

As for the daimyo of the Land of Fire, he was imprisoned by Haku.

After the daimyo was imprisoned, the ministers under him split into two factions. One faction was typical fence-sitters; seeing this, they defected to Haku one after another, willing to serve Haku and help him control the country.

The other faction was the loyalists, who had served the daimyo for generations, recognizing only the daimyo and not Wang Bo. Even though the daimyo of the Land of Fire had fallen, they were still unwilling to serve Wang Bo.

Wang Bo was not surprised by this.

Throughout history, whenever a dynasty collapses, there are always a group of fence-sitters and always a group willing to die with the dynasty. This is human nature.

As for these people, Wang Bo did not adopt an attitude of killing them all; instead, he ordered Haku to imprison them, locking them up together with the daimyo, cutting off their chance to stage a comeback.

At this point, Wang Bo had not only taken control of Konoha but also the daimyo, the ministers, and the army.

It could be said that he had completely taken control of the Land of Fire.

Therefore, Wang Bo began to carry out reforms impatiently and even drastically.

Since the Land of Fire no longer had any power to resist him, he could completely reshape the entire Land of Fire according to his own ideas.

First was the army.

Although the army under the daimyo had combat effectiveness, it would be of little use in the upcoming ninja world war. Compared to ninja, their strength was too low.

Even though some officers could use chakra, most soldiers were ordinary people. Sending them into the ninja world war would be nothing but sending them to their deaths. Wang Bo certainly couldn't be that cruel.

Thus, Wang Bo turned the entire army into a police force, stationed throughout the Land of Fire, to protect the safety of the people.

However, this meant the Land of Fire no longer had an army.

But that was fine; Wang Bo had a new plan. He turned all the ninja of Konoha into an army, canceled ninja missions, and had them all supported uniformly by the Land of Fire.

Due to the特殊性 of ninja, Wang Bo couldn't train them according to the training model of a modern army, but he could proceed step by step.

In addition, Wang Bo reformed education, popularized culture, and stipulated that all children must enter school to study, implementing nine years of compulsory education, uniformly managed by the state.

At the same time, Wang Bo also established a ninja school—now a military academy—with the aim of cultivating more ninja.

It was believed that within a few years, the number of ninja in the country would double.

As for Konoha, it was gradually integrated into the Land of Fire by Wang Bo. Perhaps in a few years, Konoha would be a prosperous city rather than the home of ninja.

There were people who opposed Wang Bo's reforms.

But unfortunately, under Wang Bo's power, these opponents were either locked up in prison or fled far away, unable to stir up any trouble.

And the Land of Fire was changing step by step according to Wang Bo's plan.

Of course, Wang Bo's reforms quickly spread throughout the ninja world, touching the sensitive nerves of many. Among them, the most vehement reaction came from the daimyo of other countries.

The one-country-one-village system had been in place for decades, and suddenly a ninja overthrew the daimyo and established his own country. This was undoubtedly a provocation to the daimyo.

What if other ninja imitated this and followed suit?

Wouldn't they have to surrender without a fight, since their strength was nothing compared to the ninja villages?

Thus, the change in the Land of Fire stepped on the tails of these people, and they all jumped up one after another.

How could this be allowed? This kind of thing absolutely could not be permitted.

So, while Wang Bo was reforming the Land of Fire, the daimyo of other countries secretly gathered together for a meeting and decided to dispatch troops to punish the Land of Fire, wipe it out completely, and carve it up.

They wanted to use this method to warn the world that the position of the daimyo must not be shaken.

After the meeting, the daimyo secretly returned to their own countries, wrote letters to their respective ninja villages, and told them to launch a punitive expedition against the Land of Fire.

All expenses during the war would be covered by them.

Upon receiving this news, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure were overjoyed. They had long coveted the Land of Fire, and now with the support of the daimyo, they naturally had no scruples.

War!

In the past, they fought separately, attacking each other, which gave Konoha the opportunity to defeat them one by one. But now, with the help of the daimyo, they had unified their front.

United, they would attack Konoha.

This time, they would surely crush Konoha completely, smoothly occupy the Land of Fire, and obtain large sums of reparations and various resources.

Everyone was full of confidence in this battle.

And the daimyo were also full of confidence.

After returning to his territory, the daimyo of the Land of Water also wrote a letter to Kirigakure, hoping that Kirigakure would join forces with other ninja villages to attack the Land of Fire.

All expenses during the war would be covered by him.

After receiving this letter, Silver Superman tore it to shreds, ignoring the stunned envoy, and said to Terumi Mei standing beside him, "Let's begin too."

Terumi Mei looked conflicted. As Silver Superman's close guard, she naturally knew his plan.

"Do we really have to do this, Mizukage-sama?"
