Chapter 1046.1: Village Attack
The wind was howling in the surrounding area, and strange sounds were constantly being carried around the area.
Su Xiao, who was wearing a hood on his head, subconsciously put his hands out in front of him.
Together with a muffled thud, small rocks hit his palms.
— How much longer? Su Xiao's voice was a little strange, and he didn't seem very willing to open his mouth right now.
All because of the "stone rain", a unique feature of the Country of Earth. As soon as he wanted to open his mouth and say something, the small stones seemed to purposely want to fly into him right away.
The stone rain was caused by the unique climate of the Country of Earth. Most of the Land Country's territory was desolate and consisted of rocky mountains, deserts, and so on, causing the Land Country's territory to be very dry, barren, and constantly blowing strong winds, just like the neighboring Wind Country.
In the Land of Wind, sand was constantly flying, while in the Land of Earth, stones, very small stones, were flying.
*Dum-dum-dum...*
In the middle of the desert, a deep sound suddenly rang out. An old man carrying two buckets was walking somewhere. He was a traveling merchant and he sold a special product — something that looked like a cactus.
Usually these fruits were bought for the sake of quenching thirst.
There was not enough water in the Land of Earth, so such merchants were very common.
From an ecological point of view, the situation in the Land of Earth was worse than in the Land of Wind, and there were also fewer resources, and given all this, it was surprising to realize that the Land of Earth was not poor. It was much richer than the Wind Country and the Water Country, and only slightly inferior to the Fire Country. The economic level of the Earth Country was equal to that of the Lightning Country.
All because Hidden Stone Village was extremely cohesive, just like a mountain, it was even more cohesive than Hidden Cloud Village.
Unity represented calm, and there was no arbitrary rule in the Land of Earth. Moreover, the third Tsuchikage, Oonoki, was a ruthless person. He knew how poor his country was, so he sent people to the surrounding small countries for resources. He only cared about his own people. As for people from other countries, Oonoki ignored their welfare.
It just so happened that there were many small countries around the Land of Earth. Seven small countries, starting with Taki Country and ending with Bird Country, had to give their resources to Earth Country all year round.
Because of this, the originally poor Country of Earth became rich.
If this entire world was taken into account, the richest country was undoubtedly the Earth Country. Thanks to its neighbors, it had all the necessary resources for a mere pittance, and ordinary citizens of the Land of Earth could get everything they wanted for a minimum amount of money.
If an ordinary resident of the Fire Country could buy five days 'worth of food in one day of work, then an ordinary resident of the Earth Country could buy at least two weeks' worth of food in one day of work.
For the people of the Land of Earth, war was more like entertainment. Until a large-scale war engulfs the world, it will not affect them in any way.
They hadn't seen what the civilians of Wind Country had seen yet.
The higher standard of living eventually led to the fact that the common people of this country loved their daimyo very much and wanted to become part of the Hidden Stone village.
Hidden Stone Village was a small village located in the mountains. There were about a thousand people living in this village, and because of its location, it was very developed.
The evening setting sun shrouded Hidden Stone Village. Ordinary people with nothing to do sat in front of their homes and chatted, while children chased each other through the streets laughing.
The old man was sitting on a rock in front of his house. He had big bags under his eyes and a pleasant smile on his wrinkled old face. From the dark spots on his face, it was obvious that he was in his seventies.
*Kar~kar~kar~*
A raven cawed in the sky, causing the old man's hand to freeze.
His rich experience in life allowed him to understand that it was a raven, but there were no such birds in the Land of Earth.
Right in the setting sun, several figures suddenly appeared on the village wall.
— Let's move fast, Oonoki won't be able to stop us right now, " Obito said.
At the same time, a few kilometers away from Hidden Stone Village was in complete chaos.
White Zetsu had lured Oonoki out of the village and was now preventing him from returning.
— There are at least 8 Jonins in the village, Monga among them. This guy is an expert of Earth Release. Even Oonoki recognized his techniques.
