The Land of Grass's Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun Plan

Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun!

This was an important policy within the first "Land of Grass Prosperity Plan" proposed after his inauguration...

Simply put, it meant stealing people!

Stealing Bloodline Limits! Stealing prodigies! Stealing Tailed Beasts! Stealing Ninjutsu!

In short, anything that benefited the development of the Land of Grass could be stolen!

Of course, this move was learned from one of the Five Great Nations—Kumogakure.

It wasn't something their Kusagakure came up with!

Although Kusagakure copied Ninjutsu, acted as a fence-sitter, sold information, and guided others, overall, they were still a benevolent ninja village.

After all, they had no choice but to be benevolent!

They couldn't defeat any of the surrounding countries~

Just look at Kumogakure... Not long ago, they heard that their attempt to infiltrate Konoha to steal a Jinchuriki was exposed, and later, after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, they were killed while trying to abduct Hinata.

Grass Mang even suspected that a Cloud Ninja who appeared during the Fourth Shinobi World War and used Magnet Release... that guy was probably stolen from Sunagakure as well.

After all, as everyone knows, Magnet Release is Sunagakure's signature skill!

So, when it comes to stealing people, Kumogakure is the true ancestor of the Ninja World!

Perhaps it was even thanks to this that after the Fourth War, they almost achieved a comprehensive village strength that far surpassed Konoha, the strongest ninja village.

If Konoha didn't have two overpowered individuals, that title of the strongest ninja village would likely have gone to Kumogakure.

Of course, how can national development be called stealing?

This is called common development!

Common development!

Grass Mang listened to Mujie's devious plan and nodded with emotion.

"Cowardly!"

This guy was truly cowardly! If he hadn't stopped him, this guy would have even planned to inform the Iwagakure on the upper levels about Konoha's situation, leading Iwagakure to join the battlefield and declare war on Konoha.

Then.

Kusagakure would lie low amidst the three factions, reaping the benefits, which immediately earned the approval of the other Grass Ninja!

These guys probably felt that the construction of the Land of Grass was too peaceful and wanted to drag the Land of Grass into the vortex of war!

When Iwagakure heard about it... they would be happy, and then, under the guise of the elder brother taking care of the younger brother, they would bring Kusagakure along to declare war on Konoha, directly making the Land of Grass the vanguard. How could they not make war profits together?

So, there shouldn't be too many fancy maneuvers.

It's important to remember that the last time the Land of Grass was destroyed was precisely because they played both sides too well during the First Great Ninja War.

After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Grass Mang announced that he would have Mujie go and discuss matters with Konoha and the Land of Rain.

Then.

He changed the subject to discuss the next construction plan for the Land of Grass!

Without a doubt...

Education was of utmost importance!

They needed to let the Land of Grass rebuild its self-confidence and integrity.

Don't take weakness for granted; strive for self-improvement. Don't always think about surviving in the cracks between the great powers by playing both sides and guiding others!

The second plan was to establish the medical system of Kusagakure.

A while ago, he had learned that Princess Tsunade of Konoha had already proposed to improve and develop Konoha's medical system.

This war seemed to have achieved good results, greatly reducing Konoha's casualty rate!

Giving Konoha, pressured by war, a moment of respite!

It's important to know that Kusagakure...

Grass Mang glanced at Kana, who was standing beside him. Seemingly sensing his gaze, Kana returned him a gentle smile.

Even after the Third Shinobi World War began, they still relied on Kana and her daughter's two medicine packs!

And even then...

The Grass Ninja still had arrogant, punchable expressions, considering it all natural!

They would even fight themselves when they lost their minds!

It seems that civilized education also needs attention!

Grass Mang was a little scared himself~

Of course, Kusagakure also had its own medical ninja, but they weren't very skilled and had bad tempers!

At the same time, there were quite a few medical ninja within the Longzhi clan. Although their skills couldn't compare to the Five Great Ninja Villages, they did have their own secret inherited techniques.

The [Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique]: It shares itself completely with another, at the cost of one's own life.

It's no less impressive than the [Life Reincarnation] created by Advisor Chiyo of Sunagakure!

As for what's next...

It's the defense, construction, and livelihood of the Land of Grass.

"I can feel that the Second Great Ninja War is nearing its end! A long period of peace will surely follow! But war could break out again at any time!" Kusana said seriously, looking at everyone. "To avoid another national destruction! Our Kusagakure must become stronger as quickly as possible!

Remember, truth lies within the power of ninjutsu, and dignity rests upon the edge of a kunai!"

"Five years! We must establish ourselves within the first five years and build all the frameworks! If you need money, come to me! No matter how much, as long as it's needed, I'll provide it! You just need to get the job done!"

With that.

Everyone immediately nodded and accepted the orders.

Although they lacked integrity, they also wished for Kusagakure to become stronger. Or rather... if Kusagakure were strong enough, would they have to be so shameless?

After assigning all the tasks, he left the conference room with Kana, who seemed to want to say something and had been looking down.

After they had gone a distance.

"Lord Mang!" Kana hesitated, but then leaned closer to Amang's ear, shielding it with her left hand, and said in a low voice, "We're out of money!"

As his assistant, she was well aware of the Land of Grass's income situation.

But no matter what, Amang had just boasted so grandly. If she exposed it right then and there, wouldn't Amang lose face!

With that said.

As expected...

Kusana's eyelids twitched slightly, and he also remembered... the Land of Grass was out of money!

The Land of Grass was originally a small country, let alone having just been rebuilt. Even before, not many people commissioned missions, and it was basically in a state of unbalanced income and expenditure.

They were barely making ends meet by secretly selling intelligence to the Three Great Nations to maintain the ninja village.

Speaking of which.

The ninjas of the Land of Grass were quite capable. Under the encirclement of two great nations, they were sometimes able to gather some secret intelligence, and... they even dared to sell it to enemy village ninjas!

Thinking about being destroyed... it wasn't surprising!

It was practically courting death!

"Forget it! I'll figure out the money situation!" Kusana sighed and waved his hand.

He should have known better than to boast just now. He should have just said, "The Land of Grass is currently in a difficult period, but our ultimate goal has not changed. I believe everyone can overcome difficulties and solve problems on their own, carrying forward the spirit of the Land of Grass that fears no hardship or poverty!"

It's still the early days of nation-building, and some difficulties are normal~

However.

Kana hesitated, "Amang, is there anything I can help with?"

"It's nothing! The problem isn't big!" Kusana shook his head and said seriously, "It's just a few more all-nighters!"

The Land of Grass was short on money, but the Land of Grass was only this big. The money needed for construction wouldn't be much for now!

With that said.

As if he didn't want to dwell on these troublesome matters anymore, Kusana directly took Kana for a stroll within the Land of Grass!

Because of the reconstruction... the Land of Grass was still barren, and everyone was immersed in construction work~

At this moment.

Just as Kusana was marveling at the thriving state of the Land of Grass, an old man ran over!

"Lord Mang!"

Seeing the guards who wanted to stop him, Amang waved his hand and said, "It's fine!"

Then.

He smiled at the old man.

Looking at his age, it was clear... this old man had likely experienced the history of the Land of Grass's destruction and reconstruction.

Speaking of which.

After the Land of Grass was destroyed, the country fell into chaos, with countless so-called warlords and bandits occupying small plots of land and fighting amongst themselves.

It was quite ridiculous~

You might walk two or three steps and enter another person's territory. At that time, Longzhi and Mujie were among those warlords!

And he ended the chaos and re-established order in the Land of Grass, thus his influence in the country was considerable!

Comparable to the God of Shinobi in Konoha back then!

He looked at the old man and smiled, "What is it?"

"That old man..." The old man seemed a bit embarrassed, scratching his head and looking at the others who were afraid to approach. Finally, he gritted his teeth and called out to a middle-aged, rough-looking man holding a child not far away, "Come here!"

Then.

The burly man gritted his teeth and stepped forward, his legs trembling slightly as he spoke, "Lord Mang, my my my... my father just hoped that you would name the child!"

He stammered.

"If... if that's not possible, we'll leave! Sorry to bother you, sir!"

Saying this, he lowered his head as if to leave!

"Wait a moment!" Amang stopped him, looking at the child in his arms.

A tender and adorable infant!

"Born not long ago?"

"Y-yes, yes!" the man said excitedly, "He was born the day after Lord Mang returned! Because I'm so grateful to you, sir, I I..."

"No need to say more, I understand!" Mang interrupted him, smiling. "What's your name?"

"Gou Sheng!"

"..."

He almost forgot!

Commoners had no surnames and gave their children strange names!

Kusana was silent for a moment, glancing at the child...

"The Land of Grass is being rebuilt! It represents a new country and a new atmosphere! Everything from the past will start anew! The Land of Grass will usher in a period of rapid development, and since your child was born on the second day of the new country..."

"How about Jian Guo!"

He said decisively, "It represents the rebuilding of the Land of Grass, and the beginning of a new era for the Land of Grass!"

As soon as he spoke.

Everyone was stunned, and they all exclaimed in admiration, "What a great name! As expected of the Leader!"
