The Golden Princess
[Central Ninja Army] Garrison.
The fortress was located on the outskirts of the Royal Capital, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, in a quiet and secluded environment.
The construction Life Ninja dispatched by Konoha used their professional Earth and Wood Ninjutsu to quickly build a large-scale and well-organized military fortress in the center of the forest in just two or three days.
The fortress was surrounded by a powerful Barrier Ninjutsu, forming an invisible shield that kept out any possible outside spying.
Currently, the Royal Capital Magic Chanter ' Guild is unable to break through the Barrier Ninjutsu.
Because of the distance, if the teleportation array in the Royal Capital were to malfunction, the Ninja Army could march to the Royal Capital at full speed in less than fifteen minutes, maintaining absolute control over Royal Capital.
At that moment, the teleportation array lit up, and seven figures appeared one after another. The more than thirty squad leaders who had been waiting all knelt on one knee upon seeing the person at the front, saying, "Greetings to the supreme Leader!"
Uchiha Takeyasu slowly looked around, a look of satisfaction on his face.
These squad leaders are all Elite Jonin level, there are no mediocre ones among them, and you can even see many familiar faces, such as my wife Minamoto Kaori's personal guard.
"Everyone, get up."
"The [Central Ninja Army] has just been established and there are still many things to attend to. Everyone, please go and attend to your own matters."
After meeting with the mid-level Ninja Army officers and learning more about the Genin army, night fell.
In the Royal Capital Royal Capital [Ro-Lente Castle], the Third Princess, Lana Thiel Shardon Lyle Vansef— the Golden Princess Lana —the only member of the royal family still free to move about, sat by the palace window, bathed in moonlight as bright as mercury.
Her long, glossy golden hair shimmered with a silvery glow in the moonlight.
The girl's delicate face had lips that looked like smiling cherry blossoms.
She wore a light blue princess dress, and her exposed skin was very pale, like a crystal-clear snowflake.
The deep blue eyes are reminiscent of sapphires, full of soft hues.
(What kind of person is the Ninja World Head of State?)
(he...)
(Can it be controlled by oneself?)
Her gentle eyes lost their light at this moment, transforming into a look of utter disdain. Lana recalled everything she had observed, a slight upturn at the corners of her lips, as if she were anticipating something.
Because of her exceptional talent, everyone around her sees her as a complete idiot.
The biological father was a man who, while appearing compassionate, was indecisive and incompetent.
The biological elder brother is corrupt and greedy, unable to distinguish his own identity, and actually makes deals with [Eight Fingers], going so far as to destroy his own country. He is reckless and arrogant, and his intelligence is comparable to that of a pig-man.
The second brother, though physically resembling a pig, has some brains. He understands the current danger and can act with foresight for the future. However, he is ultimately in the realm of mortals, and his constant jumping around will only hasten his demise.
Even the Scarlet Rose, a team of adventurers of the steel-grade level, whose captain Rachus, who had accomplished heroic feats and was known as the "The Light of Life," was still seen by Lana as a tool that could be perfectly utilized.
so--
Why can't others understand things that I can?
Unable to grasp this, Lana gradually became incomprehensible to others, gradually became twisted, gradually buried everything in her heart, developed anorexia, and slowly walked towards death.
But one rainy night, he met his beloved pet and wanted to live again. So he gradually showed his talents, improved his status in the royal family, and got better treatment for himself and his pet.
But the sudden arrival of the ninjas changed everything.
(Uchiha Rai, commander of the Central Ninja Army, is a relative of the Ninja World Head of State. He is similar to Rachus, possessing immense strength but lacking intelligence to match it. As long as he has value, such a person is not difficult to control with gentle persuasion.)
Recalling the cold and aloof Uchiha Rai who had always acted superior to her, Lana felt little fear.
If you can communicate, you can use your superior observation skills to find the other party's weaknesses, and then you can counter their moves.
(What I'm worried about now is the Ninja World Head of State. Is he renowned for his martial prowess, his wisdom, or both?)
In the afternoon, after learning from the Combat Ninja guarding the Royal Capital that she would be paying respects to Uchiha Takeyasu the next day, Lana began to analyze the man in her mind.
The basic intelligence information was gleaned from the subtle changes in the Combat Ninja's expression and tone.
These highly trained Combat Ninja never uttered a word of information except for necessary missions. Lana felt that these troops were very much like assassins—like the Chunin [Scarlet Rose].
The fact that the Ninja World Head of State could inspire such uncontrollable admiration in these assassins who had silently taken control of the Re-Estize Kingdom speaks volumes about his power!
(Will they be someone who can understand me?)
Lana pondered, then leaped with joy, and couldn't help but rise from her seat, clutching the hem of her skirt with both hands, and gently bowed to the moonlight.
Then, she tiptoed, her slender, fair arms swaying with her supple, boneless waist.
The flowing skirt, like a blooming blue lotus, slowly unfolds.
The cool moonlight is a silent accompaniment.
Royal Capital Adventurer's Guild.
Sukama and Lilinet were received by Guild Master Nara Shikamei.
"Ladies, we meet again."
Nara Shikamei, who was well-informed, politely arranged for someone to pour a cup of tea for the two women, and then said with a smile.
"In terms of strength and merit, [Four Weapons] have met the requirements for advancement. Congratulations to both of you; from now on, you are Orichalcum Level adventurers."
Their strength relied on the convenience of better equipment, and their merits were slightly different, but these were not problems.
"Thank you for the guild's recognition."
Seeing that this person had jumped from the Port City Adventurer's Guild to the Royal Capital Guild, his status must be quite high. The two women exchanged pleasantries first, and then Sukama couldn't help but ask.
"Nara President, could you tell us about Young Master Takeyasu?"
"I dare not meddle in matters Leader." Amidst the disappointed gazes of the two women, Nara Shikamei pulled out the "Biography of the Ninja World Head of State," which he had prepared beforehand, and said with a smile.
"However, you two can learn about the Leader's whereabouts from books published in the Ninja World Continent. As for the rest, that depends on your efforts."
Nara Shikamei, who didn't mind making a casual connection, looked at Sukama and Lilinet, who were happily accepting the gift, and took out the Orichalcum Adventurer's Mark, continuing to speak.
"[Four Weapons] If they want to add more personnel, I have a good candidate in mind."
