Meeting the Delegates

The next morning, a girl as radiant as gold walked into the hotel.

Her features were exquisite, her youthful elegance radiant, and her flawless skin glowed with a lustrous sheen under the morning sun. Her clear eyes were like a vast, clear blue sky, serene and pure.

The graceful [Golden Princess] Lana, dressed in a white dress, walked in and smiled slightly as she met the gazes of Gilkinef and the Cardinal. "Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me to the Headquarters Building."

The northwest corner of the Mana Continent is the main habitat of humankind, where the Re-Estize Kingdom [Rie-Estize], the Empire of [Bahath], and the Theocracy of [Six Gods] Siren Theocracy were established.

The Council Nation, established by a foreign race and subsequently destroyed by Kirigakure, is not qualified to enter the Headquarters Building.

Like the lizardmen left behind in the Great Forest of Tob and the dwarves in the Azerlisia Mountains, all that remained for them was unconditional submission.

Uchiha Takeyasu had no interest in establishing any multi-racial united nation.

As the saying goes, humans are the most intelligent of all beings and should rightfully be above all others!

As for other races, if they disobey, just kill them to protect their species and maintain biodiversity; the rest are completely unimportant.

Lana, who came from the Mana Continent to the Ninja World Continent, represents the Re-Estize Kingdom.

Representatives from the three countries walked along the bluestone avenue leading to the presidential building. The venerable Cardinal glanced repeatedly at Lana, who was walking at the very front.

Gilkinef, deep and composed, wore an expression of unspoken unease.

As the first nation to be conquered and subjugated by the Ninja World, Gilkinef, knowing Lana as he did, was absolutely convinced that she didn't have information about this meeting.

"But losing to a man is one thing, but losing to a woman is another."

Unable to swallow his pride, Gilkinef Earth Flow silently to the side.

The Cardinal didn't know much about Lana and was worried about overstepping his bounds, so he didn't ask.

Having covered a third of the distance, the number of ninjas in the vicinity had increased. Unlike the bustling outer Fifth Ring Road, the inner Third Ring Road was filled with a sense of peace and tranquility.

Rows of highly ornamental green plants line both sides of the road, and the gentle breeze and swaying shadows of the trees bring a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere.

A bus powered by Chakra slowly pulled up, carrying waves of people to and from Konoha. The soft sunlight streamed in, and several Primary School students yawned at the windows, seemingly indifferent to their arrival.

After all, with so much homework both inside and outside of class, who has the time to care about other things?

The well-informed Jonin by the roadside watched the guests who had traveled from afar with calm eyes.

Only the ninja clan Clan Head mostly looked at them with covetous and longing eyes, like food on a plate, hoping to get their own delicious piece.

"Lady Lana"

As they passed by the territory of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, Nara Shikamei happened to come out and greeted the blonde girl in front of him. They then walked side by side, followed by the Clan Head of the other two clans.

"Clan Head Shikamei, is this alright?"

As the Ino-Shika-Cho approached, the nearby ninjas immediately showed surprised looks. Lana, who knew what they were thinking without even looking, smiled and said.

"Of course it's good."

Having been severely injured by Madara Uchiha four years ago, Nara Shikamei Hyuga Ashidana even older than Hyuga Ashizaru. Having been old and experienced, and having worked with Lana in the Re-Estize Kingdom's capital for some time, he was quite aware of the methods of the girl beside him.

Lana deserves much credit for the Re-Estize Kingdom's ability to rapidly contribute to the Ninja World.

Nara Shikamei only discovered the brilliance of the opponent's policies in retrospect.

He felt inferior in matters of governing the country.

Given the Ninja World Head of State's meritocratic nature, Nara Shikamei had no doubt that Lana, with her abilities, would rise to the center of power in the Ninja World.

As for any hidden agendas, Nara Shikamei wasn't worried at all.

No matter how astonishing the wisdom, it is nothing but a castle in the air, utterly vulnerable under the threat of absolute force.

and...

Nara Shikamei glanced almost imperceptibly at Lana's pure and beautiful face, estimating that he would have to give away quite a bit of the health-preserving tea at home again.

"Others may not know, but I know very well that Lady Lana is no outsider."

"They're not outsiders."

Lana remained noncommittal, maintaining her dignified demeanor as she smiled and said, "Then I look forward to receiving your guidance from Clan Head Shikamei in the future."

"I am old now; these are the words I should be saying to Lana. As for the unworthy younger generation in the clan, I hope Lana will offer them some guidance."

Nara Shikamei didn't deliberately keep his voice down, so Gilkinef and the Cardinal naturally heard their conversation, which made them feel uneasy.

If the Re-Estize Kingdom do not suffer too much loss, the unsatisfied Ninja World forces will surely plunder even more from both countries!

The Cardinal glanced silently at Antilin, who was engrossed in playing with a Rubik's Cube and seemed oblivious to everything around her. The thought that crossed his mind made him feel a little ashamed.

Gilkinef glanced at Lana's flowing golden hair, then shifted his gaze to a short distance away, where Hanzo of the Salamander from Amegakure was casting a calm look at them.

Han from Iwagakure, Genji from Kirigakure, Chiyo from Sunagakure, and Morning Star Uchiha the Sunagakure and Senju Clan —a diverse group of people gathered at the presidential building, exchanged glances, and entered the Ninja World Conference Room.

"I really didn't want to come."

Uchiha Hikari, who had walked downstairs, stood with his hands on his hips, watching a group of people walk upstairs with a listless expression.

Attending these meetings was like listening to monks chanting sutras; it made her drowsy.

Instead of wasting time like this, you'd be better off staying home and reading more heartwarming light novels.

Sarutobi Sasuke, whom they met by chance on the road, advised, "Lord Hikaru, this is a meeting that will decide the future of the Ninja World. Even if you don't express your opinion, it's still necessary to listen."

"Then let's use Shadow Clone."

Before Sarutobi Sasuke speak, Uchiha Hikari created a clone while his main body ran upstairs to find Uchiha Takeyasu.

She was well aware of her brother's true character and did not believe that Uchiha Takeyasu at the meeting was the real person.

"Let's go, Director Sasuke."

"Yes, Lord Guang."

Sarutobi Sasuke followed behind the girl with a calm expression.

Even the Uchiha Shikata wouldn't dare use Shadow Clone to participate in the Supreme Council; the only ones who could do it were the wives of the leaders.

"Morning Star, Shining Moon, why hasn't the Blazing Sun appeared yet?"

Inside the meeting room, Frueda, who was seated at the back of the Imperial side, was observing his surroundings.

At the very front were the various Konoha ninja clans, including the newly formed Yuki.

In the middle are the three hidden villages, and behind them is the Sunagakure. Looking at the whole scene, there are indeed many strong ninjas in the Ninja World, but there is not a single one who surpasses the black-and-white-haired girl from the Slane Theocracy.
