Chapter 718 Times have changed
The Land of Rain, Six Paths City.

Yahiko walked in Rokudo Castle with some ninjas wearing Rain Village uniforms. Looking at the bustling streets, he couldn't help but sigh:
“Who would have thought that just a few years ago, this place was a wasteland with only a few old and dilapidated villages.”

I used to spend every day in Liudao City and didn’t feel anything.

Later, his main work was in the Rain Village, and he had few opportunities to come back. Only then did Yahiko realize that Six Paths Castle was developing so fast, it was changing with each passing day.

Every time he came back, he would find new changes in Liudao City.

Yahiko was a veteran who joined the Ninja Clan when it was first founded and participated in the initial construction of Six Paths Castle, so he felt particularly deeply when he saw these things.

The Amegakure jonin who was following behind Yahiko had a complicated expression.

At the beginning, compared to the Rain Village, Rokudo Castle was just a small village in a remote area.

In just a few years, the prosperity of Six Paths Castle far surpassed that of Rain Village and even surpassed the capital of the Rain Country, turning the economic center of the Rain Country from the central part to the eastern part.

"Everything is thanks to Lord Sosuke." The Amegakure Jonin said with a longing look on his face.

Most of the Rain Ninjas will not be too concerned about the development of Six Paths Castle and Rain Village, because most of the ninjas in Rain Village now also have the status of Ninja of the Ninja Clan.

Ninjas from the Shinobi Clan can work in the Rain Village, and Rain Ninjas who have joined the Shinobi Clan can also work in Six Paths Castle.

In the eyes of many people, the Rain Village and the Ninja Clan have not announced their merger on the surface, but in fact they have already become one ninja force.

In fact, there was a proposal within the Ninja Clan to directly merge the Rain Village into the Ninja Clan, but it was rejected by Sosuke.

"Yes." The other Rain Village jonin nodded.

Before Sosuke came to rule the Rain Village, he already had a group of supporters in the village for various reasons. After he came to rule the Rain Village, the number and enthusiasm of his supporters were in no way inferior to those of Hanzo in the past, and even exceeded them.

The vast majority of Rain Ninjas regard Sosuke as the true savior of the Rain Country, and believe that only Sosuke can lead the Rain Country to prosperity.

Under such circumstances, there will naturally be no conflicts because Six Paths Castle is more prosperous than Rain Village. The Rain Ninjas will only feel that he is worthy of being their savior and is so powerful.

Yahiko smiled and led his subordinates towards the Ninja Clan's office building.

During the confrontation between the Ninja Clan and the Rain Village, Yahiko really could not have imagined that the final outcome would be so good.

He originally thought that the best outcome would be that the Ninja Clan would defeat the Rain Village, cripple the village, and then recruit some ninjas who agreed with the Ninja Clan's ideals.

Unexpectedly, Sosuke took over the entire Rain Village without bloodshed.

"Yahiko." ×2
Just as Yahiko was about to reach the office building, a soft female voice and a male voice with a hint of surprise came into Yahiko's ears.

Yahiko turned around and saw Nagato, Konan and Scorpion.

Yahiko smiled in response and walked quickly forward.

"Captain Scorpion, long time no see." Yahiko greeted Scorpion.

In the end, Scorpion did not leave the Ninja Clan. Because of his contribution to the invention of puppet prostheses, he was specially promoted to the director of the Ninja Clan's Chakra Technology Bureau.

"Well, Minister Yahiko, long time no see." Scorpion responded in a calm voice.

In addition to his position in the Rain Village, Yahiko also has a nominal position as Deputy Minister of the Military Department in the Ninja Clan.

After greeting Scorpion, Yahiko gently touched Nagato's chest with his fist and asked with a smile:

"How do you feel about your visit to the branch? Did you gain anything?"

After the innovation of the ninjutsu scroll, he was promoted to the squad leader of the Rain Village's senior ninja squad, and Nagato was also transferred from the Ninja Clan headquarters to the Bird Country Ninja Clan branch to work.

Yahiko was quite envious of Nagato. At that time, he also applied to go to the Land of Birds, but was ultimately rejected.

After all, if they were to go to the Land of Birds, they would be doing what Sosuke had done in the Land of Rain. For Yahiko, who was determined to achieve peace in the ninja world, the sense of accomplishment would be too great.

Of course, being the squad leader of the ninja squad in the Rain Village can also help to work for peace in the ninja world. If the power contained in the position is calculated, Yahiko's position is higher than Nagato's.

Since Sosuke, the actual leader, is basically not in Rain Village, the other high-level officials of Rain Village are headed by Yahiko, and Yahiko is almost in charge of Rain Village.

It's just that going to the Bird Country branch to fight for peace would be more to his liking.

"I've gained a lot, but I can't explain it all at once." Nagato thought for a moment and replied.

It was difficult to give a brief account of what he had gained from his actual work in the Bird Kingdom, and since the meeting was about to start, he did not go into detail.

Yahiko's eyes lit up, "Then let's have a good chat after the meeting."

He was very curious about what Nagato experienced in the Land of Birds and what he felt.

Nagato nodded, he also wanted to share his experience with Yahiko.

Then several people walked up to the office building together.

"Minister Yahiko, Minister Nagato..."

On the way, they met many elder members of the Ninja Clan who came for a meeting and greeted each other.

Today is the annual meeting of the Shinobi Clan, which is to summarize the work of the previous year and determine the work for the next year. Basically all Shinobi Clan ninjas who hold important positions will attend the meeting.

"Teacher Sosuke!"

When the Shinobi clan ninjas entered the conference room and saw the man in white sitting in the main seat, they subconsciously raised their heads and chests, wanting to show their best condition.

Mu Yue smiled and nodded in response.

"Over the past year, due to the end of the war, the economy of the entire ninja world has been steadily improving, and our sect's Ministry of Finance has achieved rapid growth in fiscal revenue through a series of effective measures.

First, thanks to the breakthrough in technology, the sale of ninja tools has become the main source of fiscal revenue. Both the daimyo and the major ninja villages are willing to pay high prices to buy our ninjutsu scrolls. Our prosthetic limbs are also very popular in the ninja world, bringing in a considerable amount of income..."

Kakuzu was the first to stand up and report as the Minister of Finance.

"In terms of expenditure, the Ministry of Finance has always adhered to the 'people-centered' development philosophy, and has accurately invested limited financial resources in key areas related to people's livelihood, social development and public safety. It has increased investment in education, medical care and other livelihood areas..."

Mu Yue listened and nodded.

Perhaps because of his sensitivity to money, Kakuzu, the Minister of Finance, did a really good job and implemented Mu Yue's ideas very well.

In the eyes of the five major ninja villages, the Ninja Clan is ambitious and everything it does is to expand its influence and strengthen its military strength.

In fact, the Ninja Clan does not spend much on the military, but mainly on construction, people's livelihood, education, and technology.

The reason why Mu Yue made such an arrangement was very simple. He never thought of relying on the ninjas from the Ninja Clan to wage the war.

Because even if the Ninja Clan spent all its money on the military, it would be impossible to reach the level of the five major ninja villages in a short period of time.

The big ninja villages in Iwagakure have always been wary of Sosuke's Ninja Clan, not the Ninja Clan as a force. Moreover, although the military expenditure was not too much, their technology had made a breakthrough, and in fact, the military strength of the Ninja Clan had improved significantly.

In addition to the Rain Country where the Shinobi Clan's headquarters is located, there are also ninjas reporting from the Bird Country branch. Lao Zi and Nagato are among them, but their work directions are different.

"Last year, the Bird Country Ninja Clan branch added a total of ninety Ninja Clan ninjas who recognized the Ninja Clan's ideology, and the public's recognition of the Ninja Clan increased..."

"In terms of public security, the chaotic ninja organizations and wandering ninjas in the eastern and central regions of the Bird Country have been eliminated..."

After everyone has finished summarizing their work, it is time to discuss the new year's work.

"We must attach importance to the development of chakra technology. Even if there are no results in the short term, we must not give up research." Mu Yue emphasized.

"Not only military technology but also civilian technology needs to be developed. Of course, the core is to improve productivity."

Things like people's livelihood construction are what the Ninja Clan has always been doing, and Mu Yue is not worried that anyone will forget.

However, due to their ninja background, Kakuzu and his friends always tend to overlook scientific development and think it is unimportant, especially in the civilian field.

It’s not that Kakuzu and his friends have problems, but that all ninjas, ninjas in the entire ninja world, are like this.

After the Ninja Clan disbanded, the theme of Ninja gradually evolved into fighting and war.

Currently, there are no ninjutsu used for production in the ninja world. All the ninjutsu that has been passed down from the past or developed in modern times are developed for combat.

The ninjas of the Shinobi Sect nodded. Although some of them did not quite understand Sosuke's intention, they still agreed with it in their hearts.

If you ask why, there is only one answer - Lord Sosuke must have his reasons for thinking this way.

Apart from technology, Mu Yue basically lets the Shinobi Clan ninjas play freely, and then he checks for any gaps and fills them in.

Until the meeting came to an end, Mu Yue spoke again:

"I think the establishment of a Ninja Clan branch in Kawa no Kuni can be put on the agenda."

Thanks to the efforts of Kakuzu, Murasaki and Nagato, the Ninja Clan branch in the Land of Birds has been completely built. It no longer needs the support of the headquarters and can independently complete the maintenance of the Land of Birds.

Mu Yue felt that the time had come to take another step.

"Isn't it a bit early? Although there is no ninja village in River Country, the ninja power is not weak. Moreover, the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure will probably not sit idly by and watch us grow stronger again." Kakuzu said after thinking for a while.

If the big ninja villages do not take action, it will not be difficult for the Ninja Clan to deal with the ninja organizations and clans in River Country, but Kakuzu feels that the big ninja villages will definitely take action.

In a better scenario, they might secretly trip up the Ninja Clan and then quietly support the Ninja forces in the River Country.

If the situation gets worse, they might have to go directly toe-to-toe with the enemy and openly mobilize the power of the ninja to stop the actions of the Ninja Clan.

Kakuzu thought that the Ninja Clan still had a lot of potential and could be developed over some more time so that the entire Ninja Clan would not become a burden to Sosuke when the war broke out.

“It definitely felt like it was too fast.”

"No, the work in Bird Country is almost finished."

"Our goal is world peace. How can we not act just because we are afraid of the Great Ninja Village?"

There was a quarrel in the meeting room for a while. Most people supported Sosuke, but some ninjas supported Kakuzu.

dong dong.

Mu Yue tapped the table with her fingers, and the meeting room instantly became quiet.

"Just do it with confidence. The big ninja villages will not become an obstacle to the Ninja Clan." Mu Yue said with a faint smile.

If the big ninja village feels that the actions of the Ninja Clan pose a threat to them and wants to do something, Mu Yue will let them know what the real threat is.

When he only had a few hundred thousand chakras, the Ninja Clan needed to keep a low profile. Now that he has more than four million chakras, does he still need to look at the faces of those big ninja villages? Then his chakras have increased in vain.

"Then it can indeed be put on the agenda." Kakuzu instantly understood what Sosuke meant.

The wind direction in the conference room immediately changed, and no one opposed the action of establishing a branch in River Country.

"Fighting against the Great Ninja Village by yourself? Sosuke, what other tricks do you have that you haven't shown yet?" Kakuzu thought curiously.

Now even if Sosuke and Kakuzu said that he was the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage, Kakuzu would believe it.

Sosuke once said that he might be wrong, so you should question when you should question, and oppose when you should oppose.

But Sosuke never made any mistakes. Even if the decisions were controversial, time would eventually prove that Sosuke was right.

With such extraordinary wisdom and unparalleled strength, it is not outrageous that he is the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage.

"To call him a reincarnation is an underestimation. He is the Six Paths Sage of this era." Kakuzu sighed in his heart.

Maybe Sosuke's contribution now is not as good as that of the Six Paths Sage in ancient times, but in the hearts of many of their Shinobi clan ninjas, Sosuke is the Six Paths Sage of the current era.

Even if the real Six Paths Sage in history was resurrected, the Shinobi clan ninjas would only follow Sosuke, not the so-called Six Paths Sage.

"In addition, I plan to hold another large-scale martial arts competition in Liudao City. This time there will be no age limit or other restrictions. The strong men from the entire ninja world are welcome to participate in the competition." Mu Yue continued.

"Are you participating in the competition too?" Kakuzu asked.

"I won't participate in the competition. If the No. 1 is interested, you can challenge me and I will accept it." Mu Yue shook his head and replied.

His main purpose for this martial arts tournament was to allow his disciples to improve their combat records and let the veterans in the ninja world know that times have changed.

Kakuzu thought about it and felt that it made sense. Otherwise, if the news of Sosuke's participation in the competition was released, a lot of people would probably be scared and not dare to come.

After the meeting, Mu Yue called Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan and took them to the office.

"I want you to form a team to run the Chuanzhiguo branch." Mu Yue said.

The reason why he asked Nagato Yahiko and others to do different things was to train them, and now is the time to test the results of the training.

Yahiko has experience in managing ninja villages, Nagato has experience in establishing branches, and Konan has learned a lot of miscellaneous skills from Kakuzu and can act as a glue and logistics support for the two of them.

Yahiko and Nagato both showed surprised expressions.

When it was decided at the meeting to establish a branch in Kawanokuni, they had already decided to apply to go to Kawanokuni. Unexpectedly, Sosuke had already decided to entrust this important task to them.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

They can work together for world peace again.
