The Shinobi Village Council Hall

During this trip, Shiyu not only successfully rescued Might and his son, but also Kakashi and Rin. Although it seems he did not stop Obito's corruption, Shiyu obtained the Six-Tails Saiken and the Isobu, and also the Water Release Scroll of the Third Mizukage.

Now, the Isobu has entered Shiyu's body, becoming Shiyu ally.

The Land of Rice is located in the far north of the Land of Fire, surrounded by other small countries. It is unassuming and low-key, so Shiyu's development in the Land of Rice can be described as very low-key.

From the Konoha Forest in the southwest all the way to the Land of Rice, the distance is obviously not short, but Shiyu's speed is the fastest in the Shinobi World. He crossed the border of the Land of Fire in just one day.

After entering the Land of Rice, Shiyu discovered some very subtle messages deliberately left behind by someone, which Shiyu knew were left by Kakuzu.

"Not bad." Shiyu followed the symbol and soon entered the base that Shiyu had established in the Land of Rice.

The base was located in a plain in the Land of Rice. It used to be a small village abandoned due to war, but now, thanks to Shiyu bribing the daimyo of the Land of Rice, the village has become lively again.

Although it is just a small village, it is home to many powerful individuals.

Shiyu she reached the door, which showed that the security was quite tight under the management of the guards.

Shiyu raised his head to reveal the second generation, the guards were also greatly alarmed.

"Oh my god! Lord Shiyu is back!"

"Quickly inform all the lords! Lord Shiyu has returned!"

"Forgive me Lord Shiyu!"

"It's alright, it's alright! You did a great job!" Shiyu nodded and praised.

Shiyu's fame has now reached the point where everyone in the Shinobi World knows him. Many of the ninjas in the village were recruited from him, and as soon as they heard that the Light of the Shinobi World was coming, they immediately rushed to the village without hesitation.

Upon hearing the news of Shiyu's return, Kakuzu and the others immediately went to greet him.

"As expected, the boss has arrived!" Kakuzu was also delighted to see Shiyu, his eyes shining as if he had seen a billion ryo.

"Lord Shiyu!" Uchiha Masamune was on the left, Gray Fang on the right, and behind them were a group of powerful figures who had followed Shiyu out of Konoha.

Upon seeing this, Shiyu nodded and said, "Not bad, you've built a great village! We can now be considered a small ninja village of considerable size! Now, I'm summoning all the village's high-ranking ninja leaders; I have important matters to discuss with you all!"

Shiyu, led by Kakuzu, entered the village's council hall, which was basically the place for meetings.

Shiyu naturally sat in the very center and head seat, and then looked around.

"Kakuzu, Uchiha Masamune, Hatake Sanyu, this guy looks familiar? Is this Shiyu?" he asked, pointing to a young man.

Kakuzu immediately said, "Boss, you really don't recognize him?"

Shiyu exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that Shingen, the one I gambled with in Tanzaku Street?!"

Shingen nodded and said, "Greetings, sir! I am honored by Lord Kakuzu's kindness! I have become a member of the village's finance department, working alongside Kakuzu to manage the finances."

Shiyu knew that this guy named Shingen was quite clever, so she nodded and said, "Alright! Now that you've joined us, you're naturally a member of our organization. We hope you'll do your best for the organization and the village in the future."

Shiyu then looked down and saw people standing on either side of the middle row. Shiyu wasn't very familiar with them, but they were clearly members of the Kekkei Genkai clans that Shiyu had brought from Konoha.

"Please introduce yourselves and tell me what you do, so I can get to know you," Shiyu said.

"Yes, sir!" the ninjas replied respectfully.

"Let's start with you, then introduce everyone from left to right in turn," Shiyu said, pointing to a ninja from the Hyuga Clan.

"Sir! My name is Hyuga Renji! I'm currently in charge of reconnaissance work in our village," Hyuga Renji said, neither humble nor arrogant.

"My lord! My name is Inuzuka Maru! I specialize in tracking missions and am currently responsible for guarding the village!" said the ninja who kept the Ninja Dog.

"Excellent! The Hyuga Clan's Byakugan reconnaissance ability is indeed very strong. If combined with the Inuzuka Clan's sense of smell, the enemy will have nowhere to hide! From now on, Hyuga Renji, you will officially become the captain of our village's reconnaissance team. Inuzuka Maru, you will assist Renji, and I appoint you as the vice-captain!"

"Thank you! Lord Shiyu!" The two subordinates were very grateful, but Shiyu beckoned them over, and the two walked towards Shiyu.

"You both know I possess the power to unleash potential, so please don't let me down." Shiyu then absorbed a trace of their bloodline power, but his main purpose was still to unleash their potential.

"Ah! His chakra level has broken through! He's reached the elite Jonin level!"

"I've also reached the elite Chunin level!"

Hyuga Renji and Inuzuka Maru were both extremely excited and grateful. Unexpectedly, Shiyu also took the opportunity to boost the chakra of Inuzuka Maru's Ninja Dog.

"Thank you on behalf of Kuromaru!"

Shiyu nodded and said, "Don't be careless. Although your chakra has increased, your actual combat ability hasn't reached its current level. You still need to keep honing your skills!"

Shiyu noticed the envious looks on the faces of the four people behind him and immediately smiled, "Don't be in a hurry. Accept my arrangements first, and I will help you improve your strength."

"Kakuzu, I appoint you as Minister of Finance, in charge of the finances of all villages from now on. And Shingen, I appoint you as my subordinate minister, to assist Kakuzu in managing the finances."

"Hatake Sanyu, I appoint you as the captain of the village's law enforcement force, with Kakashi Nao as your deputy captain. You must carry out my orders and maintain peace within the village. If anyone is found to disobey orders or engage in misconduct, you may act first and report later!"

"Thank you Lord Shiyu!" Everyone was very respectful, Shiyu's arrangements were excellent.

After making a series of arrangements, Shiyu made no mention of Uchiha Masamune. Only then did Shiyu speak up and ask, "Masamune, our village is still in its early stages, and there will be very few battles. I know you are skilled in combat, so I can only temporarily put you in charge of the village's Konoha Military Police Force. But I'm afraid you'll feel that I'm excluding you." Shiyu also seemed somewhat embarrassed.

To everyone's surprise Masamune waved his hand dismissively and said, "Lord Shiyu, don't worry! I don't think that way. The village needs to develop, which will inevitably require recruiting some ninjas. At this time, it is precisely the time to strengthen the village's internal security. I am happy to be able to take on such an important task!"

Shiyu nodded sincerely and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you Masamune!"

"Masamune, do you have any recommendations for a vice-captain?" Shiyu asked.

Masamune thought for a moment and replied, "Lord Shiyu, I would like to recommend someone, but I am in the same predicament as you, and I do not know whether I should say it or not."

"Tell me!" Shiyu was eager to know who Masamune would recommend.
