With the Land of Wind Settled, It Was Time to Leave

Having the experience of annexing the Land of Water two or three years ago, Feng's men are now quite adept at taking over the annexation of the Land of Wind.

Feng didn't need to give orders; his men knew what to do on their own.

In particular, the Land of Wind actually has less territory to manage than the Land of Water, so Feng's subordinates took over much faster.

About ten days later, the Land of Wind issued a statement:

[The Daimyo of the Land of Wind sends a letter to all nations of the Ninja World:]

Regarding the domestic unrest, it is merely the work of a few rebellious officials and traitors, and does not involve other people or other countries.

The lord is keenly aware that this may cause unrest from all sides, which is indeed a matter of great importance to the peace and stability of the nation.

By special decree: This time...]

With the release of this statement, the fate of the Land of Wind is sealed, and it has completely changed hands.

The statement is long and rambling, but its core meaning is:

"The recent major actions of the Land of Wind were due to a rebellion, forcing the Daimyo to summon the Hidden Sand to the capital to eliminate the traitors."

The subsequent large-scale massacre within the country was a purge of those who had participated in the rebellion. The daimyo was forced to do these things, and they were all reasonable and justifiable.

The Land of Wind has no intention of strengthening its military and political power or expanding its territory abroad; all other nations can rest assured.

In short, the Land of Wind experienced some trouble, but the daimyo was unharmed, and he wisely and powerfully led the Land of Wind back onto the right track.

As this statement, bearing the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, circulated throughout the Ninja World, it didn't matter what ordinary people thought; in any case, the Daimyo of various countries greatly supported it and were relieved of their worries.

After all, no matter which country a rebellion occurs in, the ruler, for the sake of his status and prestige, will always ruthlessly suppress it; this goes without saying, and we must support it wholeheartedly.

The country will inevitably be in turmoil for a while after the bloody purge, which is a great thing for the surrounding countries, especially the smaller ones.

This would allow them to avoid trouble from the Land of Wind, which had just emerged from turmoil, for several years.

Furthermore, due to the terrible geographical environment of the Land of Wind, which consists of either endless deserts or uninhabitable Gobi, other countries have no interest in invading Land of Wind.

Even the consensus among other countries in the Ninja World is that as long as the Land of Wind doesn't invade other countries, they can do whatever they want, since that lousy place can't cause any trouble anyway.

This meant that after the Land of Wind had been in chaos for a while and issued its statement, no other country paid much attention to it, since it was pointless.

This was exactly the result Feng wanted: to make the Ninja World ignore the Land of Wind, a worthless place, so as to ensure that his secret control over the Land of Wind would not be exposed.

Um... Although Black Zetsu already knows, it's okay. Feng has temporarily fooled the other party with information about Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

As long as they can hold out until Konoha finishes his Nagato in Konoha without being exposed, it won't matter even if they are exposed later. By then, Feng will have more than ten Kage Level fighters under his command and will occupy almost half of the Ninja World. He can fight against the entire Ninja World on his own.

"The Land of Wind has stabilized. What follows is gradual governance and development. These things cannot be rushed, and I don't need to stay here."

Therefore, I must head back to the border of the Land of Whirlpools. I'll leave this place to you two for the time being.

Ming, you're in charge of internal affairs; Quan, you're in charge of external affairs.

After I arrange for others to come over in a few days, you can bring your Royal Guard to see me then.

Also, tell Tekka that the Sunagakure we just captured is full of gossips, so he must keep a close watch and not expose us."

Feng, who was currently in the Land of Wind but had already managed to leave, found Uchiha Izumi and Mei Terumi and gave them instructions.

Domestic affairs are handled by government officials sent by the Cabinet, while matters of public order are handled by samurai sent by the Military Department. As for infamous acts like murder and arson, the ninjas of Sunagakure are responsible for them. The Ninja World doesn't pay much attention to the Land of Wind.

The border between the Fire and Uzumaki kingdoms, which has attracted the attention of the entire Ninja World, could ignite the Ninja World at any moment, and even trigger the Fourth Shinobi World War.

However, Feng did not want to escalate the war for the time being, let alone trigger Fourth Shinobi World War.

Therefore, he naturally needed to prepare to leave the Land of Wind in order to rush back to the border of the Land of Whirlpools to intimidate all parties.

"Yes, Master!"

Uchiha Izumi and Mei Terumi readily agreed.

"Hideo."

"Master, your subordinate is here."

"Hmm, you've done well lately. Come back to the Land of Whirlpools with me later. I'll give you a boost, improve your strength, and then give you some more responsibilities."

"Thank you, Master!"

Loyalty!"

Upon hearing this, Hideo Uchiha immediately raised his right hand at a 45-degree angle, looking at Feng with eyes full of admiration.

As one of the earliest Uchiha to follow Feng, he certainly understood what Feng meant by "cheating".

Because he had always had a smooth life following Feng Hou and had never experienced any major changes, his Sharingan, the foundation of his Uchiha, only evolved from One-Tomoe Sharingan to Two-Tomoe Sharingan after hearing that the Uchiha that remained in Konoha had been wiped out, and then it never progressed any further.

His current Jonin strength is all thanks to his years of hard training. However, as he gets older, even though he has never stopped training, his strength is improving more and more. In a few years, he will probably reach a point where he can no longer make any progress and his strength will be fixed.

By then, he would at best be Elite Jonin, far from being a Kage Level expert capable of independently assisting his clan leader.

Now, his clan leader has personally promised to "give him a cheat code" to boost his strength, which means he has the opportunity to reach the Kage Level and help his clan leader.

This is the greatest wish and expectation for the Uchiha today.

The thought of his wish coming true and the envy and jealousy he would receive from the entire Uchiha clan made Hideo's manners even more impeccable, and his heart even more loyal.

"Master, I want to use a cheat code too." *N

At this moment, other people around who knew the meaning of "cheating" also hurriedly echoed Feng's words to Hideo, asking for "cheating" as well.

Uchiha Izumi, who still had Itachi, whom she desperately wanted to kill, waiting for her to deal with. At this moment, the look in her eyes when she looked at Feng was almost like a plea for help.

"Stop! Currently, that's only suitable for the Uchiha, and only Uchiha with at least Two-Tomoe Sharingan have a chance."

Forget about it, anyone else should just jump in and die.

Izumi, you have Mitsudomoe and can participate, but the number of people who can "cheat" each time is limited. I will notify you when it's your turn. Now! You better handle the affairs of the Land of Wind properly.

As for the others, don't be discouraged. You may not have a chance this time, but I can assure you that it won't be long before you all get a share as long as you make contributions."

"Yes! Master! Loyal!" *N

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately raised their right hands and shouted "Loyalty!"

"Roll!"

"Hehe, okay!"

Feng had already proven with his actions over the past ten years that he truly rewarded those who made contributions, never being stingy with money, power, beautiful women, Ninjutsu, or anything else, and sometimes even rewarding those who had not made any contributions.

(Feng:??? Is it considered a reward to put Ninjutsu in a library for everyone to study and improve? Is it also considered a reward for increasing wages as the country develops and the currency expands?? Isn't this just basic practice?)

At this moment, looking at his subordinates who wanted to turn him into experts in making 'squid', Feng could only helplessly smile bitterly and tell them to 'get lost'.

I can only blame myself for setting a bad precedent by doing something reckless back then. Ugh, what a headache.

What Ke Feng didn't know was that when he began the Uchiha Great Transplantation of White Zetsu Cells, an even bigger problem awaited him.
