Three months ago, when Scorpion destroyed the Kingdom of River in Chengdu, it was the time when the other countries stopped fighting and were preparing for peace negotiations. At that time, the armies of the various countries had already withdrawn to their own countries, but the trade routes between the various countries had not yet been opened.
In ancient times, the exchange of information between countries mainly relied on merchants from other countries. Due to the war, the trade routes between countries were cut off. When Scorpion came to the Country of Rivers, although the countries stopped fighting, the Five Shadows Conference had not yet begun.
Therefore, the trade routes between the countries had not been restored.
The Country of Rivers was located in the buffer zone between the Country of Wind and the Country of Fire. It was sandwiched between the two countries all year round and would become a battlefield between the two countries during times of war. Most of the land in the Country of Rivers was covered in mountains and forests. The lives of the common people were very difficult, so the population was naturally not large.
During the war, in order to avoid the flames of war, most of the people gathered in Chengdu and were destroyed by Scorpion. Now, other than a few remote areas that were not affected by the flames of war, the rest of the areas were already 'no man's land'.
Therefore, Scorpion had not only destroyed a city, but also the entire Country of Rivers.
The destruction of the River Country was so close that the Fire and Wind Kingdoms did not notice it. The main reason was that the trade routes were not open, which made it inconvenient for information communication between the countries.
As the 3rd Windshadow couldn't return to the Wind Country, the trade routes in the Wind Country were opened later than the other countries. As a result, the Wind Country learned of the destruction of the River Country later than the other countries.
When the merchants from the Country of Fire came to the Country of River to do business, they discovered that Chengdu was already in ruins. Only after they returned to the Country of River did the news of the Country of River being destroyed spread.
When the leaders of the various countries were shocked by this news and guessed who the murderer was, the real murderer Scorpion (or rather: Yixin) has completed the mission of killing the third generation Windshade and returned to the base.
During the half a year that Yixin had been in seclusion in Scorpion's base, the leaders of the various countries had already stirred up a pot of porridge about the destruction of the Country of Rivers. They all accused the other party of being the murderer, especially the Fire and Wind Country, which was the closest to the country.
However, things were always going to happen again before they settled down. Just as the various countries were still arguing, the Wind Country sent another message. The third generation Windshade had gone missing!
The news of the disappearance of the third generation Windshade greatly shocked the hearts of the leaders of the various countries. It should be known that the third generation Windshade had just participated in the 'Five Shadows Conclave', and had quarreled with the shadows of the various countries during the conference. He was in good health! Why did it suddenly disappear?
Was there any connection between the disappearance of the third generation Windshade and the destruction of the River Country? If these two things were done by the same group of people, then who were they? What was his motive?
(No one would suspect that the murderer was the third generation of Windshade. The reason was simple: This was because Shadow was already at the peak of the Ninja Realm. He had a high position and power. Destroying other countries and then disappearing would not only ruin his reputation, but he would also lose everything in the country. What was he after?!）
No one could give an answer to this series of questions, because the only one who knew the answer was the real murderer Scorpion. Yixin), and the other was already a traitor. This person was: Orochimaru.
During the half a year that Yixin had been in seclusion in the base, two major events had happened in the Country of Fire's Woodleaf Ninja Village. One was the retirement of the third generation Naruto Yuan Fei and the passing of the throne to the fourth generation Naruto Feng Shui Sect.
The second was the betrayal of Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas.
Orochimaru was the disciple of the third generation Naruto. As he had been secretly researching forbidden techniques, he had done many cruel experiments and killed many innocent ninjas. After the matter was exposed, the third generation Naruto personally went to clean up the house. In the end, he let Orochimaru go because of the relationship between master and disciple.
Not long after Orochimaru escaped, he joined Akatsuki and became a member of the organization.
In fact, Orochimaru had been obsessed with forbidden techniques for a long time. He wanted to learn all kinds of techniques, such as the Eight Limbed Technique, the Filthy Earth Reincarnation Technique, and the Art of Longevity. It was said that he had even declared that he wanted to learn all the techniques in the world.
In order to practice the forbidden technique, Orochimaru looked for three swords everywhere. Later, he obtained the Tenno Cloud and practiced the beginner chapter of the technique.
In order to master all of the Eight Branches Technique, Orochimaru began to search for the other two.
When he received the news that Tian Bu Liu was in the Country of Rivers, he immediately rushed to the Country of Rivers. Scorpion received the news almost at the same time. The difference was that Scorpion was already halfway to the River Country when he received the news.
Therefore, Scorpion arrived at the Country of Rivers before Orochimaru. When Orochimaru arrived at Chengdu, he only saw the wails in the city and the scene of Scorpion commanding the puppet army to slaughter the civilians.
With Orochimaru's strength, he could have done something, but the scene of Scorpion commanding the puppet army to kill was too shocking! Orochimaru had misjudged Scorpion's strength at that time.
Of course, Orochimaru had seen Puppet Masters before, but he had never seen a Puppet Master who could command hundreds of puppets to fight at the same time!
Orochimaru only knew that among the Puppet Masters in Shayin Village, only Senior Advisor Chiyoko could command 10 puppets to fight at the same time.
Who was this mysterious Puppet Master? He could actually control so many puppets at the same time!!!
To be honest, Orochimaru was quite frightened at that time! Therefore, he did not dare to do anything and immediately left the capital, leaving only a few small snakes to continue monitoring the scorpion. He himself hid in the mountains.
Then, under the little snake's gaze, the entire capital city of the River Country was completely destroyed by the scorpion.
