Chapter 114: The Wind Country Daimyo and Illusion
Kingdom of the Wind, capital.

As a desert kingdom, the capital of the Kingdom of Wind, built on the largest oasis, does not have the slightest trace of wind and sand.

The city is surrounded by clear water left by the snow-capped mountains. Many plants unique to the desert grow in the city. Outside the city are green grasslands, forests, and endless wheat fields.

At first glance, it is hard to imagine that this is a country located in a desert.

However, this is also a very normal thing. As one of the five major countries, it is impossible for the Wind Country to have all its land covered by desert. If that were the case, it would not be able to support this country to become a major country in the ninja world.

Even a place like Egypt still has fertile land on both sides of the Nile River. The Kingdom of Wind naturally also owns some fertile land to support the operation of the entire country.

The so-called desert areas, except for a few oases, can only exist as mineral resources and the country's strategic depth.

"No wonder the relationship between the Sand Village and the Kingdom of Wind has never been good. I heard that the original Sand Village seemed to be a gathering of ninja communities in the desert, and the main citizens of the Kingdom of Wind actually live near the capital."

"The residents of the entire desert probably only account for less than 20% of the population of the Wind Country."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Uchiha Feiyu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The residents living near the resource-rich capital and those in the desert are very different in terms of ideology, character and culture.

From this point of view, the rift between the Sand Ninjas and the Wind Kingdom is almost irreparable.

"Although the gap between the two is difficult to make up... but at least the primary and secondary are clear. Even if the Sand Village in the desert is a minority, it must be the true leader of the Wind Country."

As for Uchiha Feiyu, he naturally would not agree with the minority obeying the majority, but would only decide his position with his buttocks. The Wind Country must be under the leadership of the Sand Village, or in other words, under the control of Uchiha Feiyu, which is the best state.

As they approached the capital of the Wind Country, there were several soldiers guarding the gate. Uchiha Feiyu glanced at the soldiers and sensed a faint trace of chakra on them.

The amount of chakra in these soldiers is very scarce. Several soldiers are adult men who are about 1.78 meters tall, but the chakra in their bodies is at most similar to that of third or fourth grade students in a ninja school.

With this level of chakra, even the Three Body Technique can only be used a few times, and basically bid farewell to combat ninjutsu such as the Five Elements Escape Technique. However, if it is used simply to strengthen the body, combined with some sword and physical skills, it is enough for ordinary people to defeat ten people at once.

And after possessing chakra, one will have a certain resistance to ninjutsu such as illusions and transformations. Even if this resistance is very weak, it is only the difference between 0 and 1.

Theoretically, if this kind of soldiers formed an army, except for some ninjas who possessed special ninjutsu, even ordinary jonins would have to turn around and run away.

This is also one of the trump cards of the Daimyo of the Wind Country, used to intimidate the combat power of the Sand Village.

However, in Uchiha Feiyu's opinion, it is because of the protection of the guardians and monks of the Wind Kingdom that these soldiers have their place. Otherwise, as long as the Sand Ninjas use a few decapitation tactics, no matter how large the army is, it will be meaningless.

He walked straight through the city gate. Even though Uchiha Feiyu was wearing a ninja vest, the soldiers let him in as if they saw nothing. With their chakra, it was only slightly more difficult for Uchiha Feiyu to control them with illusion than with ordinary people.

After entering the city, Uchiha Feiyu did not carefully observe this most prosperous city in the Kingdom of Wind, but walked directly to the Daimyo Palace in the center of the city.

Although the Daimyo Prefecture was built in the city, it still had independent city walls and castle towers. Uchiha Feiyu could even feel the sealing barrier covering the entire Daimyo Prefecture.

"The effect of this barrier is much stronger than that of the Sand Village. It seems that the daimyo of the Wind Country is quite cautious."

Being able to set up this kind of barrier obviously requires the help of the monks from the Kingdom of Wind. Of course, the barrier is so effective because the daimyo's mansion itself is not as big as the ninja village.

With the same resources and chakra, the smaller the range, the better the effect of the barrier will be. Looking at the barrier in front of him, even Uchiha Feiyu had a headache.

Uchiha Feiyu is indeed not very good at ninjutsu such as barrier techniques and sealing techniques. First of all, there are not many ninjas who know this kind of ninjutsu, so naturally Uchiha Feiyu can't learn much from the ninja souls.

Another point, which is also the most important one, is that a large part of the barrier technique and sealing technique are theoretical. Even if these theories are learned through soul possession, the speed cannot be much faster, so they were naturally ignored by Uchiha Feiyu.

"But... never mind. Anyway, my goal is not just to control the Daimyo of the Wind Country!"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Feiyu did not hesitate, and without even using any illusion, he stepped directly into the Daimyo's mansion.

The two warriors guarding the gate of the daimyo mansion were immediately startled and shouted loudly:

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into Daming Mansion?"

"Wait, he's dressed like... he's a ninja!"

These two sentences also became the final words of the two warriors at the door. Uchiha Feiyu gently stretched out his hand, and the lightning turned into a sharp blade, taking off the heads of the two men.

The highly condensed pure lightning chakra even directly burned the wounds of the two people, so that even if their heads fell off, not much blood flowed out.

Seeing Uchiha Feiyu killing someone in the street, and the person he killed was the gatekeeper of the Daimyo Mansion, the passers-by in front of the Daimyo Mansion were either stunned or pissed themselves, and a few were so scared that they screamed.

At the same time, as Uchiha Feiyu stepped into the Daimyo Mansion, the barrier of the entire Daimyo Mansion fluctuated, and the ninjas and monks guarding inside the Daimyo Mansion rushed out one after another as if a hornet's nest was poked.

A faint smile appeared on Uchiha Feiyu's face, and crackling electric light spread over his body, turning into an indestructible armor.

"Hmm... let me think for a moment... what ninjutsu should I use against my opponent?"

Just when Uchiha Feiyu was still thinking, the guards of the daimyo's mansion rushed out and surrounded him, stabbing at him with swords, spears, and halberds without saying a word.

There were a series of crackling sounds, and the swords, spears, and halberds were directly broken into two pieces by the lightning armor on Uchiha Feiyu's body. Uchiha Feiyu casually drew out his short sword and swung it, and the many guards in front of him were broken into two pieces with screams. However, at this time, several flashing golden chains flew out in an instant and wrapped around Uchiha Feiyu's body, causing the chakra in his body to fluctuate.

The monks surrounding Uchiha Feiyu made seals with their hands and shot out golden chains, which looked very similar to the Uzumaki clan's Vajra Seal.

However, compared to Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Karin who can use 4 to 8 diamond chains at a time, only four people in this group of monks can use this kind of chain, and each of them can only use one.

"No wonder he was able to suppress Shukaku's tailed beast. Is he also good at using sealing techniques?"

The trapped Uchiha Feiyu murmured something, and with a loud bang, the whole person exploded into a ball of lightning. It was obvious that he was just a clone.

How cautious of a ninja is Uchiha Feiyu? How could he charge in so brazenly without knowing the opponent's specific ninjutsu?

"Oh no, this is Thunder's clone! Where is the opponent's real body?"

The monks and guards showed shocked expressions and looked around one by one, but suddenly felt the ground shaking.

The vibration of the ground caused the entire Daimyo castle tower to begin to shake slightly. Following a burst of exclamations, several ninjas who looked very powerful jumped down with an old man in luxurious robes.

"We finally meet, Lord Daimyo."

Amid a faint laugh, a large amount of golden sand gushed out from the cracks in the ground and slowly floated in the air. Above the golden sand, Uchiha Feiyu wearing a mask appeared.

"Magnetic escape technique, ninja from Sand Village... are you planning to rebel?!!"

The old man in luxurious robes looked fierce but was actually weak. He shouted, but unfortunately Uchiha Feiyu obviously didn't care about such insignificant resistance.

The only thing that surprised Uchiha Feiyu was that the daimyo in front of him seemed to have some chakra. Not to mention how strong it was, but at least it was better than ordinary Genin, and was almost at the level of a Chunin like Iruka.

"This chakra is quite good, and it's not a transformation technique, it's really your real self. I'm really surprised, you are actually a good ninja?"

The daimyo of the Wind Country had never thought that he could hide his chakra in front of Uchiha Feiyu. He said coldly:
"I'm not a ninja. I just have chakra. Is the power of chakra exclusive to ninjas?"

After all, this is a world where great power belongs to individuals. The daimyo, who is at the highest point of power, can of course see this very clearly and is naturally very interested in the power of chakra.

It’s just that ordinary people have almost no talent in chakra. For example, the soldiers at the door who have chakra are already considered good among ordinary people.

Being able to cultivate Chunin level chakra is a good talent even in the ninja village. Uchiha Feiyu did not expect that this daimyo had such good talent.

Of course, this level of talent is only amazing among ordinary people. Perhaps when facing the assassination of an elite jonin, the daimyo can rely on his own strength to struggle and delay for a second or two, but for Uchiha Feiyu, he can directly pull the daimyo into the illusion just from the first moment they meet.

"I was really surprised. I didn't expect that the Sand Village would come directly to kill us. Was it just because I cut your funding?"

"Judging from your record against Konoha, it's only natural that your funding is cut!"

"It's not just a matter of cutting funding. Daimyo, you have been developing your own monks and guardians. What you are thinking is known to everyone."

"If it continues to be weakened like this, in a dozen years, the Sand Village might not be destroyed by foreign enemies, but will be slowly dragged down by you, the Daimyo of the Wind Country!"

This is indeed the case. In the original work, when Naruto Shippuden began, the Sand Village was even forced to start the so-called Konoha Collapse Plan. You must know that in the past, even in the so-called Ninja World War, there was no precedent of suddenly attacking the other ninja village when the other ninja village invited them to the Chunin Exam.

Even though all the five major ninja villages are shameless, the peace agreement is not even as good as toilet paper to them. A combat method like the Konoha Collapse Plan that completely treats credit as garbage is definitely crossing the bottom line.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa's brain was indeed not quite right, but the fact that he could force Rasa into that state only showed that the situation in the Sand Village was really bad at that time.

This is still the result of the gold miner Luo Sha's daily gold mining to subsidize the village's finances. If it relied solely on mission income and funding from the Daimyo of the Wind Country, the Sand Ninja would probably have collapsed by then.

After hearing what Uchiha Feiyu said, the face of the Wind Country Daimyo suddenly changed slightly, and he snorted:
"Pure nonsense! Well, maybe it is indeed my fault for cutting your funding too much. No matter what, you are still a powerful force belonging to the Wind Country..."

Uchiha Feiyu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the daimyo in front of him seemed ready to compromise? !
But if you think about it carefully, this is also a very normal thing. Admittedly, if the Sand Village directly raised the flag of rebellion against the Daimyo, it would at least end up being seriously damaged, and if it is not careful, the entire village may be wiped out.

But at the same time, the Sand Village cannot afford such a price. Can the Wind Country afford such a price?

If the Sand Village is really forced to rebel, no matter what the final outcome is, the Wind Country will never be able to maintain its status as one of the five major countries in the ninja world. If it is lucky, it may split into small countries. If it is unlucky, it may be completely divided up by the other four major countries.

The Daimyo of the Land of Wind was thinking of cutting flesh with a blunt knife, slowly weakening the power of the Sand Village bit by bit, but he really never thought of perishing together with the Sand Village!

In this situation, as a political creature, it is only natural for him to want to compromise.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Feiyu had no intention of compromising with him, or rather, Uchiha Feiyu's target was the other ninja forces in the Wind Country. These monks, wandering ninjas and even chakra soldiers were all the best food for Uchiha Feiyu's continued progress.

Otherwise, he could just turn on the invisibility and five senses to find the daimyo of the Wind Country and use a Mangekyo. This would be the most perfect way. Those monks can see through the ordinary illusions of the Sand Village, so can they see through the Mangekyo illusions? Why did they come to him with such fanfare?
Just when the Daimyo of the Wind Country wanted to say something, a red light flashed in Uchiha Feiyu's eyes. The illusion from the Sharingan instantly took control of the Daimyo's mind and ignited the anger in his heart.

"Sand Village, how dare you betray me! This crime is unforgivable! Everyone listen up, kill this guy!"
