Chapter 767: A different kind of army...
Just like Kusagakure, all the minor villages neighboring Konoha decided never to offend Fujin. All their grievances about the actions of The Spectral Swordsman were buried and forgotten. The news of him killing a hundred Suna ninjas with each attack had shocked them to their core. Unlike Suna, they didn't have the forces to handle such losses.
At the same time, they too began pondering what to do in case Konoha was more weakened than what the reports suggested. Some countries, like the Land of Noodles and the Land of Tea, didn't have any options. They had to depend on Konoha.
Meanwhile, the Land of Hot Water still remembered Kumo's blatant attempt to take over their mines and still hated Kumo. Similarly, the Land of Waterfall hated Iwagakure for its stunts a few years ago. Unlike Kusagakure, those hidden villages couldn't swallow their pride and were left with no option but to hope that Konoha stood tall.
On the other hand, the Land of Rivers, a buffer country between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, was in a panic. If Suna and Konoha fought, their country would become the battleground. As such, Tanigakure immediately gathered all their ninjas and began preparing for another war they may have to endure.
Even the Land of Iron took note of this battle and Fujin's capabilities while calculating the implications of this sudden attack on Konoha. Council meetings ran through the night in several villages as the world waited to see how Konoha would respond.
As for the person they were discussing the most? He got off from his bed after a nice deep sleep, completely unbothered by the chaos and panic around him and in the world. If anyone were to see him, they wouldn't even be able to guess that he had killed over 300 ninjas and 2000 snakes less than 24 hours ago!
Fujin glanced at the clock and thought, '7 hours… My chakra reserves are almost full again. However, Shikaku should call me soon… I'll transfer 20% to the lake. Anyway, it was a good thing that I made them create such a pill.'
Fujin had consumed a special soldier pill less than a couple of days ago. As such, he shouldn't have been able to sleep due to the increased stimulation caused by the soldier pill. However, Fujin had an idea, which was to create another pill that would temporarily pause the mental stimulation caused by a soldier pill.
The reason Fujin had this idea was due to how large his chakra reserves had become. Even the best soldier pill in Konoha would need nearly 7 to 8 hours to recover his chakra completely. Once his chakra reserves were nearly empty, there wasn't much point in him staying awake until they recovered as it just increased his mental fatigue.
