The One-Month Deadline Was Approaching
The chaos in the Shinobi World began suddenly, and it ended just as suddenly.
Everything happened so fast!
Some civilians living in more remote areas had just heard about the ninja uprising, but in less than a few days, the Shinobi World suddenly became peaceful again.
Although Hinata didn't have to do these things herself, Hinata was, after all, the biggest boss, and she heard a lot of news even while staying at home.
Despite the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of Konoha, the profession of ninja is destined to be accompanied by bloodshed and turmoil throughout one's life.
Which ninja over the age of twenty-five has not experienced the Third Shinobi World War?
These people were even sent to the battlefield by the village when they were only seven or eight years old.
With such a group of killing machines launching a coup, how could the nobles and officials, who were used to enjoying life, dare to resist? Some even surrendered before the ninjas even arrived at their doorstep.
It's terrible!
Although the one-country-one-village system made the Daimyo uneasy, these nobles and officials never cared about it, and even the Shinobi World War had nothing to do with them.
All they need to do is pay a commission to hire ninjas to protect themselves in the chaos of war.
Apart from small countries without ninjas, the officials in those countries that have ninja villages are basically rotten to the core.
Hyuga Hiashi has been so busy lately that he's practically invisible. As Hinata's father, Hyuga Hiashi has to take charge of the overall situation, preventing any trouble from arising, while also overseeing the construction of the Imperial City and Imperial Palace.
The Imperial City was chosen to be located in the Land of Fire Capital, but Hinata was not satisfied with the architectural style there. It also included the original daimyo's Daimyo's Palace, which did not suit Hinata's aesthetic.
Since Hinata is not satisfied, then we must overturn and rebuild.
Hinata has been looking at batch after batch of design plans for the Imperial City and palace these past few days, and she seems to enjoy it immensely without feeling tired at all.
As for the funds to rebuild the Imperial City ...
When the ninjas saw the money they had confiscated from the mansions of nobles and officials, they could hardly believe their eyes.
There's a saying that goes, "A clean prefect for three years can Hinata 100,000 taels of silver."
Any official who can hold a high position in the government has a household fortune that is almost equivalent to half a year's expenses in Konoha.
This is no joke.
The systems and laws in the Ninja World are not perfect. If those officials use their brains even a little bit, they can rake in millions of taels of silver.
The worldview of ninjas is still limited by killing and war. Even a rich Second Hokage like Sasuke only thinks about strength.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with pursuing strength. After all, this is a world where strength reigns supreme, and even Hinata herself is single-mindedly pursuing power.
However, if you want to develop a force, you can't do without funds.
Think of the tragedy of Kabuto Yakushi.
In those years, Konoha couldn't even build an orphanage.
If Konoha had been rich, Yakushi Nonō wouldn't have been exploited by Danzo.
As soon as the coup ended, the first thing the ninjas enjoyed was the taste of money.
As various ninja clans began to relocate and ninjas took over various cities, the Shinobi World quickly stabilized.
Peace! Throughout history, it has always been built upon the rule of might!
Only force can suppress humanity's most primal desires.
In this respect, Hinata's thoughts and Nagato's thoughts actually coincided, except that Hinata's methods were much gentler.
After the ninjas occupied the city, their first priority was to eliminate the mountain bandits and robbers who ruled the mountains, and secondly, the underworld gangs entrenched in the city's dark corners.
Mountain bandits, robbers, and gangsters were all professions that were interdependent with ninjas. As long as these evil forces existed, ninjas would never lack missions.
Now that they are no longer needed, wiping them out is naturally a piece of cake.
Although Shinobi World Hinata Hyuga, the first female ninja queen, has not yet officially ascended the throne, many commoners have already begun to accept her Hinata.
After all, world stability and peace are things that can be truly seen.
While the systems and laws established by Hinata were mostly beneficial to ninjas, they were also several times better for ordinary people than the previous systems.
Most importantly, ordinary people can now go to school.
Once Ninja Academy in various regions begin recruiting, these civilians will have a path to become ninjas.
Ninjas are a privileged class in the new world.
In Hinata's view, ninjas are not only combatants, but also energy extractors.
As long as there are a large number of ninjas, the Shinobi World will have a continuous and inexhaustible source of renewable and clean energy.
Thinking about it this way, it's quite reasonable to give ninjas some privileges.
The former Land of Fire Capital.
Now this place has become the Imperial City of the new world, and the Hyuga Clan has naturally moved here as a whole.
The renovation and expansion of the Imperial City must be done gradually, and the construction of the imperial palace cannot be completed in just one or two days.
Hinata now spends her days at the mansion, enjoying the pleasures of the capitalist class.
Tokuma Hyuga, who followed Hinata back then, and the brothers Wind God and Thunder God, have now made something of themselves.
Hyuga Tokuma remains Hinata's bodyguard, but now he's called the Empress Guard Captain.
No outsider would dare to disrespect them.
Hinata transferred both the Wind God and the Thunder God to Hyuga Tokuma's command, essentially to assist him.
Anyway, these two only need to be fed; they don't even need to be paid.
"Um..."
Inside the bedroom, Hinata ate pastries and drank tea while flipping through the documents at hand.
The establishment of a unified nation naturally requires a new name.
Calling it the Land of Fire is definitely not an option, as it would give people the illusion that the Land of Fire has unified the entire world.
Furthermore, since the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has been abolished, the Land of Fire naturally no longer exists.
What should we call him?
"Following the naming conventions of the Shinobi World... how about calling it the Ancestor Country!"
Hinata casually tossed the documents aside, not really caring about such things.
Tomorrow marks the one-month anniversary of Hinata's promise to Kaguya Otsutsuki; that will be a new beginning for Hinata.
'Ta-da!'
A knock came at the door.
"Come in!"
Hinata wiped the crumbs from her mouth, straightened her clothes, and sat up straight.
After all, our status is different now.
Sasuke the door and entered...
Hinata glanced at Sasuke and said seriously, "Sasuke-kun, is there something you need?"
Sasuke: "..."
"I went to see Naruto!"
Sasuke casually sat down opposite Hinata and said indifferently, "That guy has been clamoring to be Hokage since he was a child, but now that Konoha is gone, he naturally can't be Hokage anymore."
"Cut!"
Hinata pursed her lips and stopped pretending, taking out pastries and tea to invite Sasuke to eat together.
Sasuke was reaching out to pick up a pastry that looked very delicate...
Hinata casually asked, "How is Naruto doing?"
Sasuke withdrew his hand, stared blankly out the window for a long time before saying, "No matter how much the world changes, I doubt that guy's personality will change."
As Sasuke spoke, Hinata had already swallowed the piece of pastry that Sasuke had been about to eat.
Seeing that Sasuke had finished speaking and then set his sights on another pastry, Hinata quickly asked, "Did you fight Naruto?"
