Arrangements for Governing the Sea Country

Feng nodded in approval at everyone's words, without offering any further comment.

He didn't speak until everyone had finished.

"Alright, the Sea Country is now ours."

However, we are here to occupy this place, not to be bandits who kill without burying the dead.

Now, I've made some arrangements for the Sea Country; please listen.

First, Bosawa and his Mobile Unit remained in the Sea Country to guard the Daimyo Palace and supervise the officials and army of the entire Sea Country.

Then, I transferred the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Shimizu Takeshi, to take charge of the political affairs of the Sea Country, and transferred Furukawa Kengo from the Rainbow Country to take charge of the military affairs.

As for the affairs of the Tea Country the Prime Minister was originally in charge of, they were taken over by Shimizu Koji.

Furukawa's military affairs in the Rainbow Country were taken over by Hōzuki Kaizuki of the Guard Corps, who was also promoted to General of the Hōzuki Kaizuki of Rainbow Country.

Then, Tekka, the matters that were originally the responsibility of Jianshi in the Moon Country will be handed over to you.

Kazue, you will be stationed on Red State Island from now on, Inabi Uchiha will take over the affairs of the Rainbow Country.

As for manpower, Bosawa Kazue each gave one-third of their subordinates to Inabi Uchiha to help Inabi Uchiha build his own Mobile Unit.

Tekka, your manpower will be divided between Jianshi and Taro, also one-third.

If anyone has any objections or different ideas about this, please feel free to share them. If they are reasonable, I will make adjustments accordingly.

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads, offering no objection.

It's not that they're not smart enough to think of any objections, but rather that their perspectives are limited by the world, and they don't support their meddling in such a large undertaking as Feng.

However, I believe that after a few years, once everyone gets used to and can handle matters involving such a large force, they will be able to truly help Feng.

As for the present moment, surprisingly, Tekka Uchiha and Kaguya Shū suddenly stood up.

"Lord Feng, Shark Tooth and I joined your service together, and I believe I have worked extremely hard under your command."

"Why was he promoted, and not me?"

The first to speak was Kaguya Shū, who had an extremely fiery temper. He pointed at Hōzuki Kaizuki with great indignation.

Back then, all five ninja clans joined Feng's ranks. As the fearless Kaguya Clan, they trained the hardest and always took the lead in every battle. How come they are still being discriminated against just like they were in Kirigakure?!

"Hehe, Shou, of course I know how hard you work and how much effort you put in, but I want to ask you a question."

Do you prefer patrolling every day and dealing with trivial matters, or do you prefer to fight on the battlefield and use force to make your enemies tremble with fear of your Kaguya Clan?

"Of course, it's going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, that's what instills fear."

"That's it then. Keeping you in the Royal Guard is so you can go to the battlefield and fight to your heart's content, making the enemy tremble with fear."

Although Huiyue was promoted to general, everyone knew that the Rainbow Country was at our rear, and there were almost no enemies there.

So he most likely spends his days either patrolling or dealing with thieves and illegal vendors.

They either led the Samurai Corps and Guard Corps in daily training, memorizing regulations.

If you also enjoy dealing with these trivial matters and are unwilling to be my most elite subordinate, then you will face all the powerful enemies we encounter in the future for me and for us!

Then I'll let Tekka switch places with you, and I'll send you to the rear.

Fortunately, my people are unwilling to stay behind, and I believe they are more than willing to fight for me.

Feng spoke slowly, his tone leisurely, tinged with a hint of regret.

Then...

Kaguya Shū was immediately furious. For the Kaguya Clan, fighting and killing were life itself.

Sending them to the rear to catch thieves and illegal merchants?! They'd be better off killed!

"Lord Feng, no! I won't change it!"

Let Shark Tooth catch the thief; I'll stay with the Royal Guard.

Having been tricked by Feng's words, Kaguya Shū immediately shook her head vigorously in refusal.

However, Kaguya Shū was pleased, Tekka Uchiha was not.

"Wait! Lord Feng, I want to change it."

I want to stay in the Royal Guard and be by your side! Don't send me to the Moon Country! I'll trade places with him!

Tekka only wanted to stay by Feng's side and had no interest whatsoever in going to the Moon Country.

I was secretly pleased when I heard Feng say he wanted to switch Kaguya Shū, who beat me to it earlier.

But unexpectedly, Kaguya Shū changed his mind again. How could that be? He! Tekka Uchiha! Lord Feng's most loyal admirer, must stay close to Lord Feng.

"No trade!" Kaguya Shū, already thoroughly fooled, blurted out.

"Hmph! You just said you wanted to be promoted like Hōzuki Kaizuki, and I'll grant your wish."

"You've misunderstood! No, I'm not changing it!"

"Hey! Where's the arrogance of your Kaguya Clan? Where's your pride that's as firm as a nail?"

"Oh, compared to being able to fight on the battlefield, arrogance is nothing."

"Holy crap, damn it..."

Tekka Uchiha relentlessly bombarded Kaguya Shū with censored language, but Kaguya Shū remained expressionless and showed no reaction whatsoever.

The Kaguya Clan has never liked verbal disputes. They had suffered even worse things back in Kirigakure. As long as it didn't affect their fighting, they didn't care about being said a few words.

"Lord Feng, this... I... I want to stay by your side."

Seeing that Kaguya Shū was unmoved by his words, Tekka could only look at Feng pitifully with a helpless expression.

"Tekka, you've been by my side for the past two years, and you should have seen through a lot of things."

Therefore, the Moon Country is a must-visit. Observe and learn as much as you can. If you don't understand something, you can ask Taro Kazue.

Besides, we're not sending you now. We might have a few more tough battles to fight, enough to give you plenty of fun."

With so many people talking at the moment, Feng didn't offer much explanation. He simply gave a cold, unquestionable order with a raised brow.

"This... is it, sir!"

Tekka pouted, as if he wanted to say something more, but Uchiha Bosawa tugged at his sleeve and shook his head slightly.

Tekka still respected this elder who had been one of the earliest followers of Lord Feng and was also from the same clan, so he swallowed his words and accepted the assignment.

"Yes, do a good job, and don't let the family down."

Seeing this, Feng calmly replied, then turned to look at Asai, the leader of the Scout Corps to the side:

"Asai, get the Scout Corps moving. Send them all to the Capital of the Land of Water and find out what's going on there."

I need to know how many ninjas and soldiers there are, how many nobles there are, where the daimyo are, and where their private treasuries are!

"Yuki Rō, mobilize all the hidden agents and former subordinates of Kaguya Mizuki, Yuki, Hozuki, Himi, and Kirisame clans in Kirigakure. I need to know the date of the final battle between the Genji and the Fourth Mizukage's group."

"Does Your Excellency mean...?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"It's hard to say, let's see how things go." Feng neither confirmed nor denied this.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will wage war against the Land of Water, but some special circumstances must also be considered.

For example: what if Obito and Black Zetsu in the Land of Water, and not only are they keeping an eye on Kirigakure, but also on other places?

Or Kirigakure suffered minimal losses and still has plenty of manpower, etc.

In short, Feng will not directly attack the Land of Water as he did when conquering other places, but will instead use a strategy similar to his initial approach against the Tea Country.

After all, Kirigakure is one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages in the Ninja World. With Feng's strength, it wouldn't be difficult to destroy Kirigakure, which is now almost completely destroyed. However, he cannot guarantee that he won't leak the news while he is doing so, given the strength of the enemy.

Only when Kirigakure weakens itself again and Obito with Black Zetsu will it be possible for Kirigakure to make a move against it.

Now, his plan is to take control of the Capital of the Land of Water while the internal strife in Kirigakure raging and a decisive battle is taking place.

Then, under the name of the daimyo, he would gradually take control of the Land of Water while continuously weakening the already greatly diminished Kirigakure.

Ultimately, they used the method of slowly boiling a frog in water to completely occupy the Land of Water and the Hidden Kirigakure.

According to the original storyline, the Kirigakure, whose strength has been greatly reduced, will continue to close itself off under the name of "Village of the Bloody Mist Village," in order to conceal its true situation and have time to slowly lick its wounds and recover its strength.

It wasn't until eight years later, due to the Fourth Shinobi World War, that the village was forced to open up and communicate with the outside world.

Therefore, Feng also has plenty of time to slowly devise a plan to completely assimilate the Kirigakure.
