Chapter 208

Akito nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, a dark gust of wind swept past, and the document in Guren's hand flew over.

Guren was no longer as surprised as she had been when she first saw this.

Because in her heart, it was only a matter of time before Lord Akito mastered the complete Dark Chakra.

He took the documents and quickly began to peruse them.

At the same time, he continued to attack Yakushi Nonō.

Basically, Akito could turn a page in one second.

Efficient, powerful, ruthless, cold-blooded... yet kind and protective of their own people.

They possess amazing execution and focus, as well as... energy.

Even Guren always felt that...

If the lord of this country... were also an Akito person.

Then... things will definitely be better.

Little did she know, replacing the daimyo was also part of Akito's plan, but... it wasn't the right time yet.

Just like cooking, the heat must be just right.

Haste makes waste; the ancients made this very clear.

"Our country's crime rate has dropped to its lowest level, or even the lowest level in a thousand years..."

"Every ordinary person has a channel to file a complaint. And because all ninjas are registered under our name, the power imbalance between ordinary people has been minimized, so they no longer have to fear retaliation."

"The law is strictly enforced, and there are no more instances of favoritism, corruption, or bribery..."

"However, I worry that this situation will only last a few years..."

Guren explained from the side.

Akito glanced at the documents. "It's alright, this is the first step to success. First, protect human rights, let the people be human beings, not beasts of burden. Then we can move on to the second step..."

The happiness index of the masses is related to distribution.

Next, the Akito are going to start moving the allocated cake.

The previous killing, imprisonment, and exile of various disobedient and criminal high-ranking officials were the first step in distributing the spoils.

The "unreasonable" gains of high-ranking officials and nobles will be reduced.

This is equivalent to increasing the labor income of the people.

Keep cutting... cutting until these rentier classes can't stand it anymore.

At that time, I will have complete control over the entire country!!

"Snort..."

The Akito snorted coldly and turned to the second page.

Guren nodded slightly.

The entire Land of Rain is changing rapidly, with changes every single day, which everyone is witnessing.

With most of the information unknown to the outside world, the people of the Land of Rain have been at the forefront of the ninja world.

Then, Akito saw the special mission for today that Guren had mentioned.

It is a diplomatic mission.

The requested source is "Land of Snow".

A coup has occurred in the Land of Snow.

Kazahana Sōsetsu's younger brother, Kazahana Dōtō, led the "Yukigakure" in a coup.

Princess Kazahana Koyuki has become a puppet.

According to intelligence reports...

Before long, the rightful heir, Princess Kazahana Koyuki, will likely die "accidentally," allowing Kazahana Dōtō to ascend to the daimyo throne.

The sender's name is Sandayu.

He claimed to be a loyal subordinate of a deceased daimyo.

That's the manager uncle from <Ninja Art Scroll of the Snow Princess>.

"It was all a farce. I will go there myself, and just in time, bring the Land of Snow into our fold... making it the first country in the Combined Federation!"

The Akito closed the document.

Bang!

With a final, powerful blow, Yakushi Nonō flying, the water released by her Water Release Ninjutsu splashing all over the ground...

Even in a complete coma, she remained in a state of weak convulsions...

"..."

Upon seeing this, Guren immediately covered her mouth, preventing herself from exclaiming in surprise.

His eyes were wide open, staring at the ground, not daring to look up at all.

My understanding of the Akito's immense strength has deepened...

"I've increased her Dark Chakra production efficiency; put her back."

The Akito from Ming rose and left the scene.

"Yes."

Guren immediately lowered her head, then walked towards the convulsing Yakushi Nonō...

137. Three years later

On land.

Akito reappeared before everyone after several months.

"It's been several months since I've seen you..." Pakura took the initiative to step forward and looked Akito up and down.

"Yes, everyone, it's been a long time."

The Akito surveyed the faces around him.

The image finally settled on Yamada.

"Yamada... you seem to have... grown taller?"

"..."

The group exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with complex emotions.

This is really...

"Lord Akito, a long time has passed..." Yamada stepped forward and said softly.

The Akito recalled that a considerable amount of time had indeed passed.

But because I sleep very little, I have the illusion that only a short time has passed...

At the beginning.

I sleep once every three days.

Later it was 5 days, then 7 days...

Now, Akito can go for half a month without sleep or rest.

This also proves that the physical fitness of the Akito had reached an extremely formidable level.

But if you go half a month without rest and only sleep once, you'll have the illusion that only a day has passed...

In summary...

Akito Dynasty rarely slept more than a few times a year.

That's why time feels both long and short.

Seeing this scene...

Asuka felt a pang of heartache. "You could... assign more work to everyone."

She said softly.

"Um."

The Akito only gave a vague response.

"The Land of Snow has sent a request for assistance, as you all already know. I'm preparing to go there... It's a very special place."

The Land of Snow is a very special country.

There are some very useful things we can bring back.

The current opportunity presents a good chance to try and merge a country into Amegakure, forming a federation.

Using the Land of Snow as a model for observation and interaction, they eventually brought the entire ninja world under their control.

And this was the plan of the Akito.

"Well then, everyone, see you later."

Akito slipped out of the office.

Silently, without leaving a trace.

At six times the speed of sound, the wind resistance is eliminated by Chakra, making it seem as if it has disappeared into thin air.

Soon, a loud explosion was heard in the sky.

At 3.5 times the speed of sound, Akito sped towards the "Land of Snow"...

"Three years. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. This guy probably thinks only three months have gone by..."

Pakura crossed his arms and leaned against the doorway as he spoke.

"That's true... because of the technique, our bodies have remained unchanged since then... that's why..."

Pakura shook his head.

She remains youthful and beautiful, her appearance unchanged.

Asuka was once that delicate little girl.

These are all effects of the Dark Chakra Formula allow one to maintain youth.

Because it looks exactly the same as it did back then, Amakawa Akito would think that time had stopped.

So the ones who changed... were Yamada and his group.

"Everyone's faces are smiling, except for Lord Akito... who is still unhappy," Yamada murmured.

The Land of Rain is no longer the chaotic country it once was.

The people live in peace and contentment, and the crime rate is nearly zero.

There was no corruption, and no powerful people oppressing others.

Everything... seemed like a paradise.

This system completely surpasses that of the "Land of Hot Water," which is hailed as the most suitable neutral country for relocation.

But.

Everyone else is happy, but what about Lord Akito?

This question began to take root in everyone's mind...

"Because we're all 'brainless,' and he's 'unhappy'... We... can't understand him. That's the reason."

Juzo Biwa shrugged and said.

"The world that Amakawa Akito wants to create is... far too advanced for the people of the ninja world. Just as humans cannot comprehend the thoughts of gods... But fortunately, he is on our side, isn't he?"

"Can't... understand...?"

The Asuka looked up at the sky.
