Chapter 104 I know, it must have been Madara Uchiha who did it!
After saying that, Tetsuya turned and left. He sensed that there were many people hidden in various parts of Kusagakure. He had to go and see if those who hadn't escaped were kidnapped like this descendant of the Uzumaki clan, or if they were just Kusagakure ninjas who had survived.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked. When he did, Tetsuya was stunned. Good heavens, there were quite a few people with special bloodstains or who had mastered some kind of special ninjutsu who had ended up in Kusagakure.
These people are similar to the descendants of the Land of Whirlpools. Their original families were destroyed due to war or other reasons, and they lost their place of refuge. They eventually drifted to the Land of Grass and were all brought back to the Grass Village.
Their bloodstains and ninjutsu became the research subjects of the Grass Village. No wonder that when I was watching videos before transmigrating, I saw the characteristics of various ninja villages, and it mentioned that the Grass Village was good at studying the techniques of other ninja villages.
Zhe was saying that their Grass Ninja village was so weak, what right did they have to study the techniques of other villages? They were just studying the ninjutsu and bloodstains on these people.
Tetsuya carefully examined these people and found that they were mostly useless bloodstains and ninjutsu.
No wonder the other ninja villages didn't take them in, but instead let them go to the Land of Grass, where the Grass Village eventually collected them and studied them like treasures.
Those with the vortex bloodline are already considered SSR-level beings in this group.
The rest are mostly R-rank ninjutsu and bloodstains. There is only one bloodstain that can be called SR, called Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique. This technique is similar to the Mimi Reincarnation Technique developed by Chiyo, both of which involve exchanging one's own life for another's.
This thing is really useless to Tetsuya; it's not even as interesting as the Fire Release: Demon Lantern that guy possessed.
Tetsuya also gave these people a choice. Those who wanted to live were given the items and the Chiba Trading Company's identity cards, allowing them to travel to different countries and cities' Chiba Trading Companies.
These people all have some special skills, so the Chiba Chamber of Commerce won't lose money from their income, and they might even have some miraculous effects someday.
As for those who were no longer able to survive, Tetsuya had Kakuzu send them off.
Before sunrise, Tetsuya and Kakuzu had already left the Grass Village—or rather, the ruins of the Grass Village.
"Boss, when are we going to meet the Daimyo of the Land of Grass?"
Back at the hotel, Kakuzu curiously inquired about Tetsuya's next plan.
Tetsuya smiled and poured himself a cup of tea.
"What's the rush? I didn't sleep all night. Let's rest first. No matter what, we have to let that idiot Daimyo know that Kusagakure is gone, right?"
Kakuzu nodded.
"Yes, that makes sense. We need to wait until he realizes he has nothing left to rely on before we can gain the upper hand in the negotiations."
"That's right. No need to rush. As long as we delay going to see the daimyo, he'll be the one who's in a hurry."
Under Tetsuya's direction, the two stayed in a hotel, eating and drinking as usual, but refusing to visit the daimyo of the Land of Grass.
Just as Tetsuya had predicted, the daimyo of the Land of Grass gradually became uneasy, changing from his initial composure.
"Lord of Wuwei City, several days have passed, and the president of the Qianye Chamber of Commerce has already arrived. Why hasn't he come to see me yet? Shouldn't he be eager to discuss business with me?"
The unsettled daimyo once again sought out Wuwei, the lord of Hozuki Castle, who was temporarily residing in the capital. After all, Wuwei was his greatest reliance at the moment, and he hoped that Wuwei could give him some advice in the face of the current situation.
Wuwei smiled calmly and offered words of comfort.
"Daimy, don't panic. This Chiba Tetsuya is no ordinary person, as he was able to establish the Chiba Chamber of Commerce and make such a name for himself."
We suddenly raised our requirements by 50%, which he definitely couldn't accept.
So he's probably stalling now, trying to wear down your patience. I guess he thinks that if he just delays for a few days, you'll realize that the cooperation has changed and then you'll take the initiative to contact him.
Once you take the initiative, the other party regains the upper hand in the negotiation.
Upon hearing Wuwei's words, Daming nodded in agreement.
"What Lord Wuwei said makes sense. This Chiba Tetsuya is indeed a shrewd businessman. If you hadn't reminded me, Lord Wuwei, I probably would have gone to find him."
He laughed as he spoke his name, and then unfolded a mini folding fan and fanned himself.
"Then let's wait and see who can outlast whom. The Land of Grass is my territory. What gives him the confidence to outlast me?"
The two chatted and laughed as they began to enjoy their tea.
Just then, someone rushed over.
"The Lord of Wuwei City has important news."
"Breaking news? What, did the owner of Chiba Trading Company finally give up and come to me to discuss cooperation?"
Daming was all smiles, feeling that everything was under control.
However, the next moment, neither he nor Wuwei could laugh anymore.
"It's terrible, sir, lord. We just received news that Kusagakure has been destroyed. The entire village has been turned into a hell, and not a single survivor has been left."
"What! How is this possible!"
Da Ming screamed and stood up.
Although the Grass Village couldn't compare to the Five Great Ninja Villages, it was still a ninja village in the Land of Grass. How could it just disappear like that?
"Why did this happen? Explain yourself! How could such a large village just disappear without a trace? Didn't they try to escape? Didn't they call for help?"
"No, when the Grass Ninja Village was destroyed, no news of it leaked out."
The messenger was already sweating profusely, as the news was simply too explosive.
"The matter was discovered when the Grass Ninja returned to the village after a mission outside. When he returned to the Grass Ninja Village, the entire village had been reduced to ashes, with houses burned to ashes and the remains of ninjas turned to charcoal everywhere."
"Cough-cough-!"
Daming coughed violently.
"Are you alright, Daming?!"
The city lord of Wuwei quickly stepped forward to help Daming up.
"Lord of Wuwei City, why do you think this happened? Could it be that the Chiba Merchant Guild did all this?"
His great reputation trembled. With the destruction of Kusagakure, the first thing he thought of was the Chiba Trading Company.
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Wuwei City shook his head.
"Although the Chiba Merchant Guild is highly suspicious, I don't think it could be him. Although I've heard that Chiba Tetsuya has a highly skilled Wuwei by his side who has protected him from countless assassination attempts, even so, it's really a pipe dream for one person to destroy the Grass Village."
While the Chiba Trading Company wields considerable power, it's primarily composed of merchants; their ability to silently destroy a ninja village is simply unrealistic.
"Then why is that?"
Wuwei pondered for a moment, and then he came to a very absurd conclusion.
"The entire Kusagakure village has been reduced to scorched earth, so the one who attacked the Kusagakure village must have been a master of fire release. There are very few people in the ninja world who can do this, and those who can do this would not do it easily."
I think there's only one possibility: the great name.
"what?"
"It must have been done by that Uchiha Madara who supposedly came back from the dead. Those idiots from Kusagakure must have somehow offended Uchiha Madara. That's for sure."
Madara Uchiha, who was prolonging his life in the cave with the help of the Gedo Mazo: ?
