Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Page 242

Ebizo felt that once extraordinary measures were used, the series of problems that followed would be difficult to remedy. He couldn't really cause a problem, could he?

I think we shouldn't have done that; it could easily encourage others to follow suit.

"It's all because the Kazekage died."

Chiyo didn't think she had done anything wrong. She could only say that the death of the Kazekage led to the collapse of the situation, so how could she be blamed? Her actions were also for the sake of Sunagakure...

To be honest, I'm already quite old. If it weren't for the village, why would I worry about this so much?

"Alright, but I suggest we avoid taking action if possible." Ebizo hoped to avoid taking action, but things clearly didn't go as they had planned.

They all have such beautiful ideas, but what will the actual outcome be?

That could be described as heading towards collapse.

Because there's a problem.

"Something terrible has happened, advisors!"

The office door was pushed open, and a Chunin rushed in, looking extremely flustered.

"What happened?" Hai Bizang's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling. He quickly asked.

"The sudden imposition of martial law by the Anbu has sparked discontent among some ninjas, and now a conflict has broken out, resulting in deaths."

The chunin quickly reported the situation, revealing the key information.

The secret service imposed martial law, which resulted in bloodshed.

A conflict has become inevitable.

"Sister, something terrible has happened."

Ebizo's expression changed drastically, and he muttered to himself.

If that's really the case, then it's a very bad situation.

"Don't panic, let's go to the scene first." Chiyo waved her hand, still very calm, but she had already decided to head to the scene and deal with everything there.

……

Oyero deployed his secret agents to enforce martial law, but what could they possibly do?

Despite the fact that Yashamaru and other former subordinates of the Fourth Kazekage still command the Anbu, they are actually only commanding a portion of them, and most of them are now outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.

Because we don't have any money.

Yekura paid the money.

You can't pay me, but Yekura pays me right away, giving me ten months' salary on a whim. So, who should I follow? Anyone who isn't stupid knows who to follow. That's why a portion of the Anbu have already become Yekura's loyal followers.

On one hand, they're really paying money; on the other hand, they have no money. Who should they follow?

Haha, even an idiot knows which one to choose.

Oiero's side can't get their flag raised.

They had just arranged for the Anbu to enter the venue, attempting to use martial law to drive back the ninjas who participated in the vote, but they ended up driving away Pakura's supporters instead.

This naturally ignited the supporters of Yekura, many of whom were female ninjas, and even more had families. Therefore, fueled by their anger, a conflict became inevitable.

Chapter 311 Do they still care about the village?

"what?"

Yekura received the news at home.

She was furious and hated Oyero to the core for starting these underhanded tricks. Moreover, how dare he mobilize the Anbu when he wasn't the Kazekage?

Lawless, utterly lawless.

"I understand, you go first, I'll be there soon."

Despite her anger, Yekura quickly calmed down, gave instructions to the person responsible for delivering the message, and rewarded him for his diligence.

This is important news.

Rewards are essential; a large red envelope is a must.

After everyone left, Yekura locked the door.

Orochimaru appeared at the opportune moment and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the other party can no longer sit still."

"Hmph, how audacious! He's even mobilized the Dark Guard; he's going to go completely mad," Ye Cang said coldly.

It wasn't the Kazekage, yet he still managed to mobilize the Anbu. However, doing so gave him an excuse to claim that the other side was rebelling, or even to link the Kazekage's death to them.

Great, that's really good news. It's like opening a door of convenience for me.

"Can your men hold out?"

"Now is the crucial moment."

Orochimaru has only one problem.

Can you, Yekura, hold on now?

Can you trust the people you bribe?

Ye Cang said confidently, "Don't worry, the money wasn't wasted. Besides, there aren't many in the Dark Division who are willing to listen to Oyero. If we don't have any money, who would be willing to risk their lives? Oyero's most trustworthy asset is still his First Battalion in the Northern Legion, but the problem is that he hasn't been able to get back yet. His absence means that the advantage is on our side."

Now the village has no money left, and there's been a lot of complaining these past few days. I've spent a lot of money, and everyone has received some. A large number of people in the secret service have defected to my side. What can the rest do?

Now I understand, no matter how loyal a ninja is, it's all for nothing without money, let alone who they should listen to now.

The Kazekage is dead. Oyero is no longer the Kazekage, not even a substitute.

He's competing with me; we're both candidates...

Hmph, you think you're superior to everyone else?

Dreaming, just dreaming.

“His core team is gone, and those surrounding him now are just Luo Sha’s old subordinates. If the situation were clear, these people would definitely support Oyero. But now the situation is unclear and Oyero has made a wrong decision, which could lead to serious consequences. These people may not necessarily stick to one path. The fourth generation’s old subordinates are not unusable. If they are willing to accept the money I give them, then they are willing to be used by me.”

"The opportunity has been given; it's up to them to seize it."

Yekura has truly transformed, and Orochimaru, seeing this, knows that this guy has completed his transformation and is no longer a pure ninja, but has become a politician.

However, this is definitely a good thing for Konoha, especially for the Kazekage who is loyal to Konoha...

Sunagakure is nothing more than Konoha's prey.

"You know that's enough, I won't say more."

"Next, you should prepare for a coup. Bloodshed has already occurred, and this is the best opportunity. Also, if the situation on your side becomes unfavorable, I will step in to help you, for example, by dealing with Oyero or the high-ranking officials of Sunagakure."

Orochimaru said, "You should prepare yourself. I will wait for the right opportunity. When the situation is unfavorable to you, I will deal with Oyero and his people, and even the higher-ups of Sunagakure."

“I will keep things under control. As for the higher-ups… they can’t be touched, at least not for the time being. Besides the two advisors, the others are not much of a threat.”

Of course, Yekura couldn't agree and decisively rejected Orochimaru.

The higher-ups can't be touched, and besides, the real threat lies with the two advisors, Chiyo and Ebizo. As for the elders...

Hmph, a bunch of useless trash.

As for those elders, it's good enough if they don't drag us down; how can we expect them to have a positive effect? ​​Ye Cang doesn't look down on them, but he knows that he really can't count on these people.

……

Yekura rushed to the scene where a large-scale conflict had broken out.

Meanwhile, Oyero also received news that once martial law was declared, Yekura's supporters were powerless to resist, and he immediately slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"What?"

"They're lawless, utterly lawless! Do they even care about the village anymore?"

The commotion and deaths at the scene infuriated him, but Oiero clearly did not think his decision was wrong.

The problem lies with this group. They completely disregard the Dark Guard, daring to disobey even after a clear order for martial law has been issued. They are truly audacious.

“Lord Oyero, this can’t go on. The fact that people have died means it’s not an ordinary problem, but an organized and premeditated political event. I suspect that someone did this on purpose to harm us.”

While Oiero was expressing his anger, his think tank immediately analyzed the problem and concluded that it was highly likely that the other side was behind it, trying to harm them.

"That's right, this incident was most likely orchestrated by Yecang and his group."

This conclusion was immediately supported.

what?

What's going on with martial law?

That's irrelevant; Oierro is definitely not wrong.

Furthermore, the very act of declaring martial law at this point is wrong, because the very imposition of martial law caused the conflict; that means Oiero was wrong...

Is this correct?

That's definitely wrong; they're not wrong at all.

Even if something is wrong, it cannot be wrong; it must be right. That is the truth.

“Yes, it’s all that bitch Ye Cang’s fault.” Oyero immediately nodded and said, “What a group of understanding people, they know what I mean.”

Who is at fault?

It's naturally Yogura.

Of course, the most important thing now is to suppress this matter.

"This must be dealt with seriously. How many men can we mobilize?" Oyero was now somewhat annoyed that he hadn't been able to recall his most loyal Northern Legion First Battalion.

Honestly, he was careless, really careless.

"Lord Oyero, we have about 120 men at our disposal. We have five squads in the Anbu that we can command, but this is only because of Yashamaru. Most of them are just following the crowd. If the situation turns bad..."

Oyero's secretary said in a low voice, which grew softer and softer towards the end.

Things are completely out of control, and we don't have many people left.

While we can leverage the Fourth Kazekage's influence to manipulate some people for our purposes, these are all superficial. The truly loyal and willing people to fight alongside us are actually quite few.
