Feng's Next Arrangements (Part 1)

Whether Konoha will be bullied again in the future is unknown, but it is common knowledge that Feng has always been wise and powerful in the eyes of his subordinates, and his status is becoming more and more lofty, even far surpassing that of the Sage of Six Paths.

"Master, you're back."

Loyalty! Glory!

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the Land of Whirlpools, his subordinates looked at him with utmost reverence and fervor, saluting and greeting him.

With Feng's swift conquest of the Land of Wind, his territory now encompasses nearly half of what most people in the Ninja World consider to be the entire world, and unifying the Ninja World seems almost imminent.

At that time, these people will all be great contributors to the great Uchiha Feng's unification of the world, and will be figures who will be remembered in history.

Who could resist such temptation? Who could remain unmoved by such an everlasting honor? And who could resist wholeheartedly vowing to defend and support Uchiha Feng, who was about to lead everyone to that point!

In particular, the Ninja World has never seen a single overlord who can unify the entire world, so there has never been a precedent of "when the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked."

This allowed Feng's subordinates to work together without any worries, confidently and wholeheartedly to help Feng unify the world.

"Yes, you are my glory."

Having witnessed countless acts of loyalty, Feng had become somewhat desensitized. Since any explanation would be futile, he simply stopped paying attention and even occasionally offered a few words of response.

Chiyo and Ebizo, who had been following behind him and had never seen such a scene before, frowned. Knowing very little about Feng's situation, they could hardly understand it.

Behind them were Gaara and his two siblings, who looked around with curiosity and a touch of envy, but they weren't intimidated.

The last one following behind Feng was Kazahana Dōtō. Although he was filled with disbelief and curious about how much more Feng was hiding, he didn't need to worry about loyalty since he had been controlled by Feng's Genjutsu earlier.

"Quan, uh..."

"Fine, just send someone to notify all the senior executives to come to a meeting."

Upon returning, Feng went straight to the conference room, intending to ask Uchiha Izumi to notify his subordinates to attend the meeting.

But after he spoke, he remembered that Izumi and Mei Terumi were still busy in the Capital of the Land of Wind, waiting for him to send someone to exchange them.

"You guys, stand behind me for now. I'll introduce you to everyone later and assign you tasks."

After casually giving instructions to one of his guards, Feng turned to Chiyo, Ebizo, and a few others and gave them instructions as well.

"Yes, Lord Feng."

A moment later, Uchiha Bosawa, Kazue, Kentaro, Kentaro, Yakushi Kabuto, as well as the Cabinet Secretary Shimizu Takeshi and the Grand General and Commander-in-Chief of the Military Department Sada Hidemasa, who had also come to the Land of Land of Whirlpools Uzumaki Ayaka, arrived at the conference room one after another.

"First of all, I declare that our planned operation has been successfully completed. The Land of Wind, the Land of Waves are all in our possession, and we have also annexed the Land of Snow!"

Slap! Slap!

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled and clapped softly, as if it were only natural and they didn't care much.

But as the applause grew louder and louder, the smiles on everyone's faces stretched almost to their ears, which was enough to show that they were not as calm as they appeared.

Chiyo, Ebizo, and the others who were ordered by Feng to stand behind him had expressions of utter disbelief.

They were utterly shocked by Feng's words, and even doubted whether they were hallucinating.

'So it turns out that it's not just our Land of Wind; besides the Land of Snow, which we conquered temporarily, and the Land of Whirlpools, which we planned to attack long ago, there are three other countries...'

Just how far has Uchiha Feng's ambition gone, and what is the actual situation of his subordinates!?

Ebizo, who was already skilled in strategy, had even more ideas.

"Stop! Hehe, you guys are putting in the effort but getting nothing in return, why are you already getting excited?"

After a while of applause, Feng raised his hand to stop the applause, then smiled and joked.

"Master, with you here, we never worry about the gifts."

Sada Hidemasa was the first to respond to Feng with a smile.

"Yes, Master, with you here, who among us would worry about such trivial matters!" the others echoed.

"You guys will definitely get your share of the benefits."

Once Izumi and Ming return, they will draft a record of merits, Cabinet will be responsible for verifying and distributing it.

Feng felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this; people in the Ninja World were far too quick to offer their loyalty and even their lives to others.

He simply didn't treat people as tools or make empty promises; instead, he treated everyone as real people, and as a result, everyone under his command worshipped and blindly followed him.

'Sigh, they're too easily satisfied.' Feng glanced at the enthusiastic crowd and couldn't help but think to himself.

"Next, as always, we are not bandits. The territory we conquer is our own, and we must govern it."

Hidemasa and Wu, you two mustn't let this go wrong. Both the internal affairs and security personnel need to keep up.

In particular, we were given a temporary enclave – the Land of Snow.

When you govern, you must be careful not to cause too much conflict with the neighboring Land of Earth. We should try to remain hidden as much as possible; now is not the time to become the target of everyone's attacks."

Then, after thinking it over, he continued speaking.

"Master, the Cabinet (Military Department) will certainly live up to your expectations and will not hold you back," Shimizu Takeshi and Sada Hidemasa loudly assured him.

"Well, Wu, there's another matter for your Cabinet. The geothermal facilities in the Land of Snow have been operating continuously, and all the melted snow water is flowing into the sea."

The Land of Wind, which we have just occupied, is 90% water-scarce; this is such a waste.

Therefore, the Cabinet must replace the government of the Land of Wind as soon as possible, and then, in the name of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, send envoys to the four countries of Bear, Ghost, Demon, and Silent, which lie between the countries of Wind and Snow.

As for the person to be sent as an envoy to the four countries, I've already decided. Look, it's this one! Ebizo, the strategist of Sunagakure."

At this point, Feng paused and introduced Ebizo to the others.

"Negotiations with the four countries were simple: pay them to pave the way, then send Sand Ninja troops to the border to intimidate them, leaving them with no choice but to agree to build the canal."

At the same time, Ebizo will also join the Cabinet. From now on, he, Genji, and Wu will no longer have the problem of not being able to persuade each other. In the future, when in doubt, just vote and the minority will obey the majority."

Given Ebizo's status, he was indeed the most suitable person to represent Sunagakure as that envoy.

Shimizu Takeshi: "Understood, Master. I guarantee I will complete the mission."

Feng nodded upon hearing this. The matter concerning Shimizu Takeshi and Sada Hidemasa was not complicated, and assigning tasks was quick, but those tasks required them to work day and night, and carrying them out was quite arduous.

"Once the newly conquered countries have stabilized, if Wu feels overwhelmed, I will allow you to let Hao Er take over as prime minister."

Hidemasa and Kazuyoshi (Sada Kazuyoshi, Hidemasa's son) are doing well at the Ninja Academy. He can choose to join the Mobile Unit, the Royal Guard, or the Samurai Corps if he wants.

So he quickly presented the reward that was most suitable for the two of them at that moment.

One was a scholar, the other a warrior. If it weren't for extraordinary individuals like ninjas, they would already be the highest-ranking ministers under Feng, with no further promotions possible. Any further rewards would be of little significance to them.

Therefore, Feng simply reserved the rewards for the two men's sons, which made them understand that as long as Feng, their master, was alive, their family could continue to prosper.

The two said, "Thank you, Master, for your loyalty!" and simultaneously raised their right hands.

Feng: "..."

Forget it, he doesn't care anymore anyway, he's too lazy to care, so let them be.
