Territory

"The specific measures for the first aspect of the Ninja World reform will be announced by the Secretariat Department in seven days."

Uchiha Takeyasu's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, and his tone carried an undeniable air of authority. "Now, the second matter is to decide on the division of the existing territory of the Mana Continent."

"It's finally our turn."

Gilkinef was secretly pleased; the fact that the Ninja World wasn't a monolithic entity gave him a glimmer of hope. However, the Ninja World Head of State's arbitrary decision-making sent a chill down his spine.

The atmosphere below, where no one dared to resist, forced him to be on high alert, preparing for the coming storm.

"The Re-Estize Kingdom [Li-Yestege] has been renamed the Province of Heaven, with its capital, Heavenly Capital, located at the site of the former Royal Capital."

"The [Bahath] Empire has been renamed the Earth Province, with its capital, the Earth Capital of Earth, located at the site of the former imperial capital."

"[The Six Gods] Siren Theocracy has been renamed Xuan Province, with its capital Xuan Capital located at the site of the former God Capital."

"[Yagrand] Council Nation is renamed Huangzhixing Province, with Huangzhidu as its capital, located at the site of the former capital."

After naming the four conquered countries, Uchiha Takeyasu, observing the somber atmosphere below, understood what they wanted.

--Land and Population!

Having these two things can basically be seen as the prototype of a future warlord.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Takeyasu, deeply influenced by the idea of unification from his previous life, scoffed at the feudal system. With his teleportation array, there was no situation where Konoha was beyond his control or his reach.

All the land and people under heaven belong to him!

But if you only want the horse to run without feeding it, it's inevitable that the people below will slack off.

While the Sharingan can certainly make people devoted, Sharingan on it to solve every problem is a sign of a failure as a person.

"The officials needed in each province, city, and county will all be ninjas who have made meritorious contributions during the conquest. Among them, the minimum strength for the provincial governor position is 'Blazing Sun,' the minimum for the city governor position is ' Shining Moon,' and the minimum for the county governor position is ' Morning Star.' If the strength is insufficient, they can participate in the election for deputy positions. The required rank for deputy positions can be two ranks lower than that for the head position."

Strength is the facade of everything, Uchiha Takeyasu doesn't want to hear the absurd news of a governor being murdered one day. However, the current strength of the Ninja World is not even enough to satisfy the needs of the five provinces of the Ninja World Continent.

But he believed that it was only a matter of time before the Morning Star were no better than dogs and the Shining Moon Earth Flow.

These words immediately ignited a passion in everyone's hearts.

They weren't stupid; they understood Uchiha Takeyasu's meaning perfectly—they shouldn't even think about the fertile land, but they were perfectly capable of vying for various official positions and powers!

Becoming a provincial governor is akin to becoming a former daimyo and leader of a ninja village. Even with numerous legal and regulatory restrictions, within the bounds of the rules and the influence of human relationships, one can still lead a rising family to power.

Having realized this, Genji no longer intended to let Karatachi Yagura stay in the Water Province.

With the current strength of the Capital of Water, it can easily achieve success on both the Ninja World Continent and the Mana Continent. He can stay behind to guard the Capital of Water and govern the Water Province, while Karatachi Yagura can participate in the struggle for the four major provinces on the Mana Continent.

The resistance involved might even be much lower than Genji imagined.

The position of deputy governor doesn't matter either, since currently, apart from a few bigwigs from Konoha personally taking action, all the provincial governorships are vacant!

Moreover, there are far more meat than wolves right now. Instead of spreading outwards, sitting still in one place is simply brainless!

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what a pity."

Hanzo of the Salamander with the weakest foundation, looked at his subordinates with a gloomy gaze. After weighing his strength, he could only sigh in his heart and focus on managing his Capital of Rain, Rain Province.

Han shared the same thought: the current Capital of Earth n't withstand any more turmoil.

Chiyo of the Capital of Wind carefully considered her younger brother Ebina, the One-Tails Jinchuriki Bunpuku, and the Ninja Army. After a moment's thought, she also chose to give up.

The world is so big; as long as you have enough strength, there will always be opportunities.

After giving his subordinates time to think, Uchiha Takeyasu continued, "At the same time, Security Bureau will be established in each province, and the director will be appointed by the Konoha Security Bureau. I hope everyone will abide by the law and not do anything wrong!"

They will never make mistakes if they are not given the opportunity to do so.

Knowing this perfectly well, Uchiha Takeyasu directly hung an imperial sword over their heads.

The dispatched Security Bureau chiefs will all be Uchiha have awakened their Sharingan. These stubborn Uchiha are impossible to change through any means other than physical means to destroy their minds.

No one was surprised by this. On the contrary, in the eyes of the shrewd and experienced Genji, having the right to check and balance was far more reassuring than having no such right.

This at least rules out the possibility that Uchiha Takeyasu just wanted to play around and then kill them.

Moreover, a large forest has all kinds of birds. The governor can keep an eye on the people around him, but he can't keep an eye on their relatives. If you go down the chain of command, there might be some spoiled fools who do something horrific.

With the presence of the Security Bureau for inspection and law enforcement, the province can be more stable, and some unexpected pests can be eliminated, preventing future problems from implicating those in higher positions.

Genji's idea is not surprising; people who aren't quick-witted wouldn't even be allowed into the meeting room.

Even if I hadn't thought of it yet, I wouldn't be foolish enough to express an opinion different from Uchiha Takeyasu's.

"The Desert City in the southern part of the Heavenly Province, the Holy Kingdom which borders the sea to the southwest, and the Dragon Kingdom and Forest Elf Kingdom to the east of the Xuan Province —the Heavenly Province and the Xuan Province should make contact. Those who are willing to submit are naturally preferred; those who are unwilling should resort to war!"

The cold words silenced the room. Genji, thinking of Han's fate, immediately decided to prevent Karatachi Yagura from becoming the Deputy Governor of these two provinces.

It's not that we're unwilling to help His Leader solve his problems, it's just that daily necessities are expensive, and we're already stretched thin with limited resources to develop the Genji in two provinces.

Driven by selfish motives, they were unwilling to let Capital of Water suffer heavy losses for benefits they couldn't grasp.

"Among those present, who is willing to take over the position of Governor-General of the Heavenly Province and the Xuan Province?"

As soon as the words were spoken, several Uchiha ninjas stood up, with Yuki Haku being the first to step forward.

The former adhered to the principle of dancing on the edge of a knife and singing amidst flames, while the latter was single-mindedly devoted to conquering Shikata for Uchiha Takeyasu and suppressing all those who refused to submit.

As the two sides clashed, the remaining ninjas who were willing to fight knew they couldn't win and didn't want to make a fool of themselves.

Uchiha Takeyasu's gaze fell on the two girls who slowly stood up at the back of the conference room.

Antilin, formerly of the Siren Theocracy, now the Xuan Capital.

Lana, formerly of the Re-Estize Kingdom [Rie Yesteje], now the capital of the heavens.
