Naruto Time Control

Chapter 216: Merging the Land of Rain

Being a very strong ninja, as a captive, Konan should be subjected to full chakra sealing, but by Yeruashi's request, in order for her to play the role of 'printing machine', only ninety percent of the chakra was sealed, which led to some security issues.

It was for this reason that Konan's workplace was placed next to the Hokage's office, to be under his direct supervision and prevent unforeseen situations.

With the collapse of the new Amegakure, the situation in the Rain Country, which had recently begun to calm down, began to fluctuate again.

Iwagakure, Sunagakure and other ninja villages immediately sent their scouts to the Rain Country and moved some troops to the border, preparing to act at any time.

After a short time.

The Sunagakure scouts learned specific information about the collapse of the new Amegakure. It was destroyed by the Fifth Hokage, and Konoha was already sending its troops to the Rain Country!

"This boy..."

After this information, the Fourth Kazekage remained silent for a few seconds, remembering Yeruashi's terrifying strength during that invasion of Sunagakure, Rasa decided to withdraw his entire army.

He had no desire to get involved in a war in the Land of Rain.

With the collapse of Amegakure, the Rain Country has lost the ability to resist invasions, if he were to make a move right now, he could make some gains, but then he would most likely have to face Konoha....

Rasa didn't want Yeruashi to return to Sunagakure and talk to him....

If the Bijuu are a strategic deterrent weapon of the ninja villages, then, in her opinion, the Fifth Hokage, Hatake Yeruashi, was a superior existence to this weapon.

On the other hand.

Iwagakure was not going to withdraw its troops so easily.

Although the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, did not want to resume the war with Konoha, but before, his chief assistant and comrade died there, and now, with the collapse of the new Amegakure, the Rain Country lost all ability to resist. In such a situation, Ōnoki could not let his interests slip away, he soon personally led an elite force to invade the Rain Country. josei

The war in the Rain Country only lasted about three months.

The Konoha ninja first captured the capital of the Rain Country and forced the Daimyo of the Rain Country to surrender to the Fire Country, and then began to introduce more massive forces into the Rain Country.

Konoha had a relatively soft policy towards Amegakure ninja, if they wished, they could join the Konoha forces stationed in the Rain Country, but they would be under close control and supervision.

Ninja who did not want to join and tried to raise an uprising were killed one by one.

There were also those who did not want to obey Konoha or rebel against it, they became renegade ninja or free ninja, gradually beginning to disperse throughout the Rain Country.

The number of such ninja was the largest, many of them intending to engage in looting in the Rain Country, taking advantage of the chaos that arose, and then abandoning it to start a rich new life in other countries.

Such ninjas were also killed by the ninjas of Konoha one by one.

Yeruashi acted with extreme harshness and decisiveness.

He sent twice as many forces as they originally had in Amegakure.

More than six thousand Konoha ninja entered the Rain Country and quickly occupied all the important cities.

Hiruzen, during his reign, would never have dared to do something like this, because once others attacked through the Great Towns, he would have lost extremely serious, but Yeruashi was not afraid of this.

Because in the Rain Country is his kunai with the seal of Hiraishin.

He can get there at any time.

As for the issue of weakening Konoha's defenses due to sending such a massive force, that wasn't a problem either, with him in Konoha, the numerical advantage is meaningless.

For three months, due to Konoha's large-scale decisive actions, the chaos that was beginning to engulf the Rain Country was systematically suppressed.

Really.

It is difficult to assimilate a country because there are huge differences in culture, region, speech, etc., as in the case of the Rain Country, where it rains all year round, and the Fire Country, which has a temperate climate, the living environment of the two peoples is radically different.

But due to Yeruashi's decisive actions, the Rain Country's resistance to the takeover weakened considerably.

The reason for this is very simple.

Many of the crumbling Amegakure ninja became renegade ninja and sacked the cities of the Rain Country, and the Konoha ninja, brought into the Rain Country, operated on the garrison protecting these cities.

The citizens of the Rain Country, of course, were afraid of both sides, but when the Konoha ninja quietly found themselves in the cities and began to clearly fulfill their mission, killing the renegade Amegakure ninja attacking the cities and, in time, they began to be perceived as "defenders" and the citizens of the Rain Country began to treat Konoha much better.

Y.

Since Konoha controlled the Daimyo of the Rain Country, so all internal propaganda contributed as much as possible to the absorption of the Rain Country by the Fire Country. It was actively asserted that in the future, the Country of Fire will be responsible for peace and security in all cities of the Country of Rain.

This similar propaganda was spread in the Rain Country, and caused resistance everywhere to gradually diminish over time.

Of course.

To fully absorb the Rain Country, much more communication and convergence is needed. Because of the dramatic climatic differences, there will not be a rapid merger between the two countries, let alone a mass migration. This process will be long and gradual, taking years or even decades.

At present the situation is already stabilized, now it is necessary to continue to maintain it, slowly and progressively strengthening control over the Rain Country.

There should be no drastic changes in the near future, unless some unexpected variable occurs.

...

Konoha.

Hokage's office.

A seventeen or eighteen year old girl, wearing a Konoha head covering, reported on the mission and carefully placed a bag on Yeruashi's desk.

"Hoka... Hokage-sama... this... this is my gift to you..."

"You brought this from the Rain Country? Thank you very much."

Yeruashi smiled and nodded, saying, "Understanding the overall situation, so go back and submit a summary to the intelligence department."

"Yes."

The blushing girl nodded and left the office.

Yeruashi looked at the decorated gift bag and shook her head, saying, "Is it time to start making gifts already?.... I can't even walk the streets of Konoha in peace..."

He remembered going shopping with Kurenai yesterday and as a result, he had received for several times more gifts than shopping, the corners of Kurenai's lips twisted the entire walk.

There were girls who dared to invite Yeruashi to dinner....

And some even invited him to rest!

What the hell!

"You can't seem to control it anymore..."

Kakashi, who was standing nearby, smiled and said, "Big brother, did you think it would always be so fun and nice? Tsk, it's time to slow down so your body doesn't dry out from exhaustion..."

Hearing Kakashi's words, you would never think that he is only fourteen years old.

Yeruashi signed the document, looked at it and said, "When will you bring a girlfriend home?"

"Ah... no... it's.... well..."

Kakashi hesitated a bit and turned away, pretending it was none of his business.
