Those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish; this is the ultimate truth of the world!
As long as these two points are achieved, under the pressure of violence, so-called order will automatically emerge like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Based on submission to this violence, rules conducive to governance will automatically appear like a shadow, and such rules are undoubtedly heavy shackles imposed by the strong upon the weak, with the strong dominating everything!
And at this moment, Uchiha Tenxiu is the undisputed strong one.
After slaughtering more than twenty rogue Ninja, who were like stray dogs, and nearly three hundred elite Samurai of the entire Tianshou Pavilion, the remaining people were like startled birds, and to cling to life, they could only bow down and submit to Uchiha Tenxiu's violent power.
They even found a thousand excuses and ten thousand reasons for their surrender.
Uchiha Tenxiu accepted this with pleasure.
Because he knew that compared to those casually recruited from outside, these defectors, in order to prove their choice, were actually more loyal and worked harder to brainwash themselves.
It's analogous to the Ming army defecting to the Qing becoming even more valiant!
With the addition of these more than thirty rogue Ninja, who were like hungry wolves, Uchiha Tenxiu gained control of the original supreme military force, possessing the right to pursue and kill Samurai like a shadow.
Having the right to pursue and kill Samurai was like grasping their lifelines, forcing them to obey obediently. And the obedience of these one hundred and fifty elite Samurai was like a domino effect, causing the remaining ordinary inner-city residents, who had no power to resist, to also comply obediently.
Although these residents were not wealthy, they were considered free citizens, a higher class of common people, and had all received basic education. That's why they could live in the inner city.
Naturally, these 'talents' were also the kind of talents Uchiha Tenxiu needed.
Uchiha Tenxiu, like a skilled chess player, easily gathered the loyalty of everyone present by gradually consolidating his own power. Regardless of whether they were truly convinced, in the decisive Ninja World, there was no such thing as non-violent non-cooperation. Under Uchiha Tenxiu's command, they were naturally silent, not daring to resist in the slightest, and could only obey his orders as much as possible, fearing that one wrong step would cost them their lives.
Not to mention.
The rogue Ninja, who had not heard of the 'great fire will,' were not like the rebellious Ninja of Konoha Ninja Village, who would resist him without fear of death. Coupled with the inherent servile behavior of the Ninja and Samurai classes, once they encountered an organization stronger than themselves, they would obey orders.
They would obey even if it meant sacrificing their lives.
As long as they didn't encounter such a disparity in power as between himself and Ōtomo, loyalty was guaranteed.
Even if they had betrayed Ōtomo before, it was because the people of Ōtomo had been completely slaughtered. Even if they devoted themselves faithfully, there would be no reward, not to mention the so-called strength gap between them and Jonin.
“Next, you will closely monitor these people and make sure to move all the corpses of those who died inside,” Uchiha Tenxiu ordered decisively.
“Yes, sir!”
Under Uchiha Tenxiu's command, Koike Junichiro acted swiftly like an arrow from a bow. He looked arrogantly at the common people of the inner city, opened his throat, and shouted impolitely, “You bunch of good-for-nothings, why aren't you moving quickly? What are you all dawdling for!” Saying that, he even kicked a commoner, making him move quickly.
Under Koike Junichiro's scolding, the other rogue Ninja also, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, immediately drove the many common people, who surged like a tide towards the interior of the Tianshou Pavilion. They used both hands and feet to show their loyalty to Uchiha Tenxiu.
Uchiha Tenxiu naturally ignored their oppression of the ordinary people under this show of loyalty.
Because this was all for him!
Under their close supervision, a large number of common people began to tremblingly carry out the corpses one by one.
Inside, the tragic state of death of those corpses, like the sneer of a demon, made them all vomit uncontrollably. These people had never seen such a horrific scene before, and they trembled violently like sieves, their legs went soft, and they collapsed to the ground like mud.
“Damn it, get up and work! If you don't move, I'll kill you!” A Samurai nearby cursed, while kicking and hitting, using both hands and feet, trying to help them escape this fear mode and continue to work desperately for Uchiha Tenxiu.
Soon, with hundreds of people cleaning up.
In just half an hour, Uchiha Tenxiu witnessed the terrifying scene in front of the Tianshou Pavilion, where countless mounds of flesh were piled up, corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.
However, facing such a tragic sight, Uchiha Tenxiu remained unusually calm. His gaze showed no fluctuation, as if this was just an ordinary event.
He neither felt disgust and fear like ordinary people, nor did he show any pity; there was only joy and satisfaction.
This reaction was clearly different from that of ordinary people, and it was not that Uchiha Tenxiu harbored some unique perverted preference deep within his heart; that was a distortion only possessed by perverted serial killers.
In fact.
This so-called joy all stemmed from the huge gains he obtained after dealing with Ōtomo. The wealth and resources made his heart pound, and even made him feel that even if he had to do it again, he would not hesitate to choose to completely annihilate the other party.
Just as these people were busy moving corpses, Uchiha Tenxiu also directly rushed to Ōtomo's treasury.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Uchiha Tenxiu was stunned by the sight before him. The treasury was filled with gold and silver treasures, with stacks of boxes piled high, stretching as far as the eye could see.
These boxes looked quite old.
Many of the locks on the boxes were already rusted, clearly indicating that no one had touched them for a long time.
When various boxes were opened, some glittered with gold, some shimmered with silver, and others were filled with dense receipts and ledgers, like numbers brimming with wealth.
And there were as many as three such treasuries!
Even more astonishing was the hidden underground treasure vault, also filled with a dazzling array of gold, silver, and jewels. Even though Uchiha Tenxiu had no idea of their exact value, just from the mountainous piles of gold and silver, there was at least an astonishing wealth of five billion ryo! A total of ten billion ryo in wealth.
“As expected of a landlord's hoarding methods, with the power and status of this Daimyo's relative, he deserves this wealth!”
Uchiha Tenxiu nodded in satisfaction.
This was only the wealth in terms of gold and silver, not to mention the vast lands, prosperous shops, lively casinos, and strategic materials like grain that constituted his enormous family fortune.
And now, all of this belonged to him!
“Indeed, taking by force is better than toiling. The ancients were right, they truly did not deceive me!” Uchiha Tenxiu secretly sighed, and then stored all this wealth into his Heavenly Dimension Space.
After the previous slaughter.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dimension Space had expanded to a diameter of fifty meters, reaching a total diameter of one hundred and fifty meters, making it easy to store these gold, silver, antiques, and treasures.
Of course, in this harvest of wealth, what Uchiha Tenxiu valued most was undoubtedly the granaries within.
In the inner city, to the north, south, east, and west, stood four granaries, each occupying about a hundred meters, like four towering mountains.
In each granary, large grain bins made of stone were neatly arranged. These grain bins were like solid fortresses, without a single gap, protecting the grain within.
As masterpieces of Ninja, they not only possessed long-term storage capabilities but also stored an extremely vast quantity.
Uchiha Tenxiu's eyes instantly turned red, illuminated by the full granaries, as if he saw his glorious future.
Money and food are enough!
His foundation can finally begin to be built!
