Year 3 of the Snow Empire!
Three years had passed since the Five Great Shinobi Villages had fallen one after another.
After the various countries had declared their submission to the Land of Snow, the world had officially been unified.
Soon after,
in Kyoto City,
the Daimyo of the Land of Snow, Queen Kazahana Koyuki, formally announced that she was ascending the throne as "Emperor"!
The new Snow Empire was born!
Kazahana Koyuki became the first empress in history!
The Snow Empire had also become the only legitimate ruling power in the world. Now, three years had passed. As social order gradually stabilized, the Snow Empire had steadily loosened its control over the various regions, and its restrictions were no longer as strict as before. The country had gone from imposing severe laws in a time of chaos to slowly settling into a more peaceful order, especially after the last cleanup of social threats two years ago.
The Snow Ninja forces had swept through the land.
They had eliminated almost every insurgent.
This made the Snow Empire's society more harmonious.
As Snow Shadow, Naruto had also gradually dealt with those "high-risk items," including, but not limited to, the Sage of Six Paths' treasures, the Box of Ultimate Bliss, Moryo, and other unconventional beings. In short, anything that could easily disrupt the balance and stability of society.
Naruto had gathered all of them and dealt with them in one of two ways: either distributing them among his companions or sealing them away in storage. He would never allow them to fall into the wrong hands. Although social order had begun to reach a relatively stable state, there were still all kinds of people in the vast Shinobi World.
Naruto couldn't completely rule out the possibility that some people still harbored ambitions.
