Chapter 246: Plunder

Kimura Takuno is accompanying his family.

The five major countries are being invaded by the surrounding small countries.

Without the protection of the major ninja villages, the borders of the major countries are being plundered by the ninjas of the small countries.

The news reached the daimyo's mansion.

The daimyo wanted to let the newly recruited guardian ninjas resist.

But on second thought, they were afraid that the ninja city would attack.

So they could only let the guardian ninjas protect the daimyo's mansion.

Then send the samurai with the army to drive them away.

But the number of ninjas from these small countries is not large, only a few hundred people.

They will flee immediately after plundering, and the mobility of ninjas is far superior to that of ordinary people's army.

So although ordinary armies can deal with these ninjas, the ninjas do not give them a chance to fight.

Instead, they burned, killed, looted and ran away, leaving only a mess.

It is not easy for the army to enter the small countries to fight, because the small countries are the buffer zones left by the major countries.

As soon as you enter, the neighboring big country will be nervous.

After all, the five big countries now have no ninja villages of their own. If the neighboring big country suddenly enters the buffer small country.

Who can guarantee that they are not here to invade?

So.

The big countries are very passive.

There are constant troubles on the border, but it is difficult for ordinary troops to make achievements.

And the army is the most expensive.

Even if the financial resources of the five big countries can support it.

It will definitely not last long.

There is only a thousand days of thieves, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days.

In this era, cities are still the main line of defense.

It is not realistic to set up defenses on the border for a long time.

There are not enough manpower and material resources.

And the mobility of ninjas is comparable to that of high-speed rail, which makes ordinary troops exhausted.

There is no way, the samurai had to station their troops in the big cities on the border.

But if you take care of this side, the other side will be robbed.

If you take care of that side, this side will be robbed again!

For a while, the borders of the big countries were looted and suffered heavy losses.

The troops sent out also cost money and food.

Even the five wealthy countries complained bitterly.

They cursed their own ninja traitors.

They thought that if it weren't for these traitors, they would never have suffered such losses.

But no one thought that they could live a stable and luxurious life in the past, all thanks to their own ninja village.

Whether it is a small country ninja village or a big country ninja village on the border, once there is any movement.

The ninja village of their own country will definitely react at the first time to protect their country.

Even if they died in battle, they were only buried in the village, and their names could only be seen in their own village.

Their names were engraved in the stele forest to commemorate them.

In addition, how many of the lords of the daimyo's mansion could call out their names?

Not only did they not remember the names of the sacrificed ninjas.

I'm afraid they would also curse behind their backs, saying that they only knew how to take money to do things and were greedy for money, right?

But in addition to the entrusted tasks, where did the ninjas get paid for those temporary tasks to defend the country?

But in the eyes of those daimyo, ninjas are such lowly people.

Even the ordinary people below look down on ninjas.

In the original work, there is an ordinary person, the son of a wealthy businessman, who wants to play ninja games.

A task was issued in Konoha Village, and Konoha Village ninjas were hired to accompany the son of the wealthy businessman to play ninja games.

Naruto accepted this task and played with him for half a day.

However, he was mocked by this ordinary person as "an annoying and stingy country ninja".

The prince of Konoha was mocked in person.

Although this son of a wealthy businessman did not know Naruto's identity.

But you, Konoha Village, know it, right?

The only son of the fourth generation of his family is also the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.

Such an important person was asked to play with the rich second generation.

It can be seen that ninjas themselves look down on themselves, right?

Let alone others.

Look, in a small town on the border.

It is being robbed.

A small group of ninjas from Kusagakure.

The defense of this small town has just been breached.

"No! No! This is the savings of our family for several lifetimes, please, don't take it all!"

"Old man, go to hell!"

The Kusagakure ninja kicked over an old man who tried to stop him from looting.

With a bang.

The old man fell to the ground, but he was still holding a money box tightly in his hand.

The ninja went up and kicked again.

With a crisp sound, the old man's arm was kicked off.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by the old man's screams, the ninja laughed and took the money box away.

There was a lock on it, and the ninja opened it easily with a kunai.

Looking at the property inside, it was found that most of them were house deeds, land deeds, insurance contracts, etc.

The cash was not as much as imagined.

The ninja immediately became furious and stepped on the old man's broken arm again.

"Old man, you still hid the money!

Tell me where it is!

If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"

"Ah! No more, no more, only these.

Sir Ninja, I'll give you all these, just beg you to spare our lives!"

Looking at the old man wailing in pain, begging constantly.

The ninja kicked the old man out fiercely, and he hit the wall.

All of a sudden he couldn't move, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

There was an old woman and a young mother and daughter on the side.

The old woman screamed and threw herself on the old man. She was obviously the old man's wife.

The young mother and daughter were the old man's daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

The old man's son had gone to the city wall as a young man to defend against the ninja attack.

Now that the ninjas have attacked, the old man's son is obviously in danger.

Now listening to the old woman's crying, it is obvious that the old man is also dead.

This is a good family, but now all the men are dead, leaving only these women and children.

The ninja saw that the old man was dead and began to interrogate the old woman again.

Who knew that the old woman would hit the wall and accompany the old man.

Now, this big family, only a young mother and daughter are left.

This family is also a wealthy family.

Originally, they did some small business, and the house was well built.

Let the ninja think they have a lot of money.

But in this small business, the money is all on the goods.

There is not much cash on the books.

So there is naturally no cash in the money box just now, but there are several shop property deeds.

But the Kusagakure ninja came to rob, and the house could not be taken away, so why take these deeds?

Now the old couple are dead.

The mother and daughter, the mother is in her thirties and only knows to hold her daughter and tremble.

It is obvious that she is not the one in charge. Even if there is money in the family, she will not know where it is.

And the younger one is less than ten years old and knows nothing.

Obviously, if nothing unexpected happens, there should be no money.

So the ninja's eyes flashed with lust, and he smiled strangely.

"You can't blame me for this. I spent so much time searching your house and only found this little money.

Other places, I am afraid that others have already robbed them once. I can't even drink soup if I go there again.

I can only quench my thirst with you!"
