"Oh right, all of you come closer, I have a gift for you."
"A gift!?"
The women's hearts leaped at the words, and they quickly moved a few steps closer.
Yamei pointed a finger, and a dense wave of energy enveloped them before surging into the bodies of the four women!
In an instant, the women felt their bodies lighten, and any hidden ailments or fatigue from training or combat vanished.
"This is!?" the women exclaimed in surprise, looking at Yamei.
"The power of the Source of Life."
"So amazing!" Pakura and Mikoto felt it the most deeply, reaching up to touch their cheeks.
Time always aged people, and although it hadn't left many marks on them, there were still some effects.
Because of their age, they always felt a little inferior in front of Yamei.
But just now, the moment that Life Force surged into their bodies, they felt their physical functions had completely returned to their peak state!
Their skin felt full of collagen, and at this moment, they not only exuded mature charm but also possessed a maiden's youthful innocence! They became even more alluring.
Karin was a bit dazed. Possessing the Uzumaki Bloodline, she didn't feel anything particularly special.
But Izumi was different. Her eyes transformed into Mangekyo.
Although she rarely used these eyes, it didn't mean she had never used them. She could feel that some of her eye power had been depleted.
But just now, in that instant, it had actually been replenished somewhat!
It wasn't much! But it was better than losing a bit every time!
"Thank you, Yamei!"
The three women excitedly hugged Yamei, their eyes filled with a tenderness they couldn't suppress.
If it weren't for the fact that certain things were not good for Yamei's body right now, they would have gone completely wild.
Yamei gently stroked their heads. The meaning of becoming stronger seemed to have become somewhat tangible at this moment.
The next day, an emergency cabinet meeting was held in the Land of Waves.
Shisui, Zabuza, Raiga, and others were all present.
There were also some changes among the twelve cabinet elders.
The first elder, Shisui, the second elder, Pakura, and the third elder, Zabuza, remained in their positions.
New additions included the eleventh elder, Izumi, and the twelfth elder, Mikoto!
Although they held the last two elder positions, no one dared to underestimate them.
Especially Izumi, whose strength had now reached Kage-level, making her the top combat power in the Land of Waves.
"Greetings, Lord!"
As Yamei entered, everyone stood up to welcome him.
"Everyone, please sit," Yamei said, waving his hand. After sitting down, his gaze fell upon Shisui.
"It's been a while since I've checked on the development of the Land of Waves. Please tell me about it, Shisui."
"Certainly." Shisui smiled and produced a document.
"Currently, the Land of Waves has fifteen families, including the Uchiha Clan!"
"While preserving the excellent aspects of their family culture, they have also embraced the macro culture of the Land of Waves! They have completely become a part of us! This ensures the inclusiveness of the grand culture and the diversity of the minor cultures."
After speaking, Shisui handed the document to Yamei.
Yamei took it and reviewed it for a moment before nodding. "Well done. Cultural inclusivity and integration will be a crucial aspect for the future and must be implemented thoroughly!"
Shisui picked up the second document and continued, "Next is the issue of people's livelihood. All basic constructions, including medical care and education, have been completed!"
"Here are the relevant indicators."
Yamei took them and examined them.
The education enrollment rate was over 95%, the medical coverage rate was 97%, and food security was at 88%!
To achieve this in just two to three years was already no small feat!
"Third: The issue of productivity. The production lines have been fully constructed and put into operation!"
"Our products now, including daily necessities, Ninja Tools... and Soldier Pills, have an influence of about 30% in smaller countries! Even in the Five Great Nations, we hold about a 10% share!"
Shisui said, his eyes filled with confidence. "And I am confident that in another two to three years, we will have a 70% share in smaller countries and a 40% share in larger ones!"
"Excellent!"
Hearing these figures, Yamei couldn't help but smile.
The importance of the economy was self-evident. Once economic dependence was achieved, it would be an absolute position of invincibility! Their voice would be greatly amplified!
Seeing Yamei's satisfied expression, Shisui also smiled. This feeling of being recognized was truly wonderful!
Itachi!
I am no longer the narrow-minded Shisui who only cared about his clan and village!
My ideal is to follow Lord Yamei and create a perfect ninja world!
Shisui couldn't help but think of his old friends, feeling a bit disappointed.
Their different ways of thinking led the two down different paths.
Shisui took out the fourth document and said with a solemn gaze, "Next is diplomacy."
"Currently, our Land of Waves has had extensive contact with various large and small nations. Among them, those with whom we have successfully established diplomatic relations include Iron, Hot Water, Moon, Bird, and other countries!"
"At the same time, the enlightenment of ideas has spread, and the Red Ideology has begun to propagate, but..."
Shisui frowned slightly as he spoke, his expression solemn. "The Five Great Nations are wary of our Red Ideology. Among them, Kirigakure is particularly strange."
"Following that are the smaller countries. Most have responded well, but... the Land of Snow seems to be in some turmoil, and the Land of Rain... we can't make contact, so it doesn't affect us yet."
Yamei's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. The Land of Water's Kirigakure is likely still under Obito's control!
The Land of Rain is completely controlled by Nagato! Under the shroud of the Rain Tiger at Will Technique, spreading ideas is indeed difficult.
As for the Land of Snow... it seems there hasn't been a Daimyo for several years...
Shaking his head, Yamei looked at the last document: Military and Intelligence.
"Finally, it's military and intelligence,"
Shisui said, unrolling the scroll. "The intelligence organization is almost established. With economic expansion as its foundation, we have intelligence strongholds in most areas."
"As for the military, the Land of Waves currently has over 2,500 registered ninja, including 300 Chunin and over 50 Jonin."
"Although we can't compare to the Five Great Nations! We're not worse than a small village!"
Yamei was quite satisfied with this. While the comparison to Konoha seemed lacking, one must remember that the Land of Waves didn't have a ninja village before!
And this doesn't even include the combat power of people like Shisui and Izumi!
"Focus on cultivating the loyalty of the ninja and continue to develop according to the planned route! The ninja world's turmoil... may be about to begin."
Many of the Land of Waves' ninja were recruited from rogue ninja, so special training was still necessary.
And after Konoha's Third Hokage dies, the Akatsuki will step onto the stage, and the ninja world will become even more restless.
Yamei suddenly thought of Nagato's ideal and his heart lit up.
"Perhaps... I can bring Nagato and Konan to my side!?"
"With that, the only enemies left will be Tsuchiko and Black Zetsu!"
"As for the Otsutsuki later... we can deal with them after we unify everything!"
Yamei's eyes flickered as he considered the feasibility of this plan.
