In Nightview City, Yayoi entertained him well for a few days before letting him leave.
In the future, if First Tsuchikage Ishikawa abdicates, if he can become Second Tsuchikage, it will be of great help to Land of Night, and it is necessary to win over and deepen the relationship.
What's more, as far as personal friends are concerned, Wu is also a good candidate for a friend. Even if it's not for the sake of the country, it won't be a bad thing to make more friends.
In the future, First Shinobi World War will break out, and with the existence of Wu, there will be less trouble on his side.
That's right, although First Shinobi World War has not yet broken out, Yayoi has already prepared in advance for the arrival of that war through its own 'Prophet'.
When the shadows of First pass away one by one... that war will also be a key node in whether Land of Night can turn from weak to strong. You can't be too cautious.
It was July, and perhaps the information he sent had a great reference effect. Land of Earth in Five Great Nations first restored normal diplomatic and trade relations with Land of Fire.
Then Land of Wind, a big country with limited resources, and even Daimyo of the Land of Wind himself, visited Land of Fire Daimyo in person at the end of July. Following Land of Earth, he was the second country to break the ice with Land of Fire in diplomacy.
In August, Land of Lightning and Land of Water also quickly took corresponding actions. Although trade and other areas still need to be discussed, diplomatic relations with Land of Fire are no longer as cold as before, and there is room for relaxation.
The actions of the big countries have greatly relieved the small countries... According to this situation, the war between Five Great Nations should be impossible to fight.
As a small country caught between big countries, they have the worst ability to withstand risks. Facing this new era, they are stumbling forward at a loss. If Shinobi World War breaks out at this time, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for them.
This kind of ice-breaking situation is not only the hope of all countries, but also what Yayoi is happy to see.
Land of Night can cause a dimensionality reduction blow to other small countries, but the power of big countries is still unshakable.
In the ninja village responsible for the national defense of the great country, in addition to the leader Five Kage, there are also a large number of elites who survived from Warring States Era.
If there is not enough development time, there is no chance of winning against the ninja village of Five Great Nations.
"In the ninja army, the number of ninjas has been expanded to 1,500. Among them, Jonin is seventy-six, and Chunin is more than 400."
Within Tenshu Tower, Yayoi looked at the prepared reports. Compared with two years ago, Land of Night saw significant progress in the quantity and quality of ninjas.
Now that the internal chaos in each country has basically subsided, the ninja clan that can be recruited has been basically absorbed. Even if there are still ninja clans that are outside the ninja village system, the number is extremely rare.
If these wandering ninjas do not make changes, it will be difficult for them to survive in the coming era.
"In addition to ninjas, the strength of samurai has also improved a lot, and their number exceeds 5,000. Among them, there are only eight Upper Samurai who can fight Jonin, but there are more than 600 Intermediate Samurai."
Yayoi picked up the report recording the samurai data again and compared it with the ninja.
It is easy to know that in the Jonin level, samurai do not have an advantage.
However, at the level of Chunin, Samurai has the upper hand.
If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to guess. The number of Land of Night warriors is several times that of ninjas. In addition, the training of warriors is relatively simple. It is more difficult to reach Upper Samurai than to become a ninja and become Jonin.
But as long as they undergo rigorous training and endure time, reaching Intermediate Samurai is something that many samurai can do.
The existence of samurai greatly enhances the backbone of Land of Night.
Moreover, samurai have now completed the corresponding hierarchical system just like ninjas.
That is, upper level, intermediate level and lower level, corresponding to the three levels of ninja Jonin, Chunin and Genin respectively. (I don't want to make it too complicated, this is simple and easy to understand and easy to compare)
Compared with ninjas with complex abilities, the fighting style of samurai is pure and single, but the combat effectiveness of samurai groups cannot be underestimated.
Among the eight people who have reached Upper Samurai, four of them have a glorious resume of defeating or killing the same level Jonin head-on.
Especially Kurobei, ordinary Jonin can be killed with just a few swords without special means. He is the strongest warrior of Land of Night.
"Starting from next year, we will double the number of students enrolled on the original basis. In addition, how is the construction of Military School completed?"
Yayoi asked Irori. Irori is basically in charge of the construction work of the school.
"The foundation and basic buildings have been built, and the remaining parts are still under construction and will probably be completed by the end of the year."
Irori has recently visited the school's construction site, so he knows the situation there well.
"We need to speed up the pace. Konoha was building Ninja Academy in April this year. It must have been officially put into use now."
"It's Yayoi, your requirements are too high, otherwise, it could be completed this month."
Irori walked behind Yayoi, rubbed his shoulders, and smiled helplessly.
Military School of Land of Night started construction in June, two months later than Ninja Academy of Konoha.
"Because this is not only a place to train ninjas, but also a training place for samurai. Besides, I can only follow Konoha if he leaves first. This is safer."
In fact, Land of Night already had a relatively complete ninja and samurai training base before the establishment of Ninja Village. Now it is just a shell of this training base and a different name.
Now that Konoha is leading the way against the wind, Land of Night can also be used openly. It feels like it is deliberately imitating Konoha, but Irori knows very well that this is something that Yayoi has already calculated.
Let Konoha attract the firepower, and then quietly follow behind to develop.
The ninjas and samurai of Land of Night, unlike the ninja village, do not perform employment functions at all, making it difficult for outsiders to obtain Land of Night's military intelligence.
Even Land of Night's own people, if they are not Military Bureau's senior staff, would have difficulty obtaining this information.
But for Five Great Nations's ninja village, they don't care at all about Land of Night's hidden military power.
Next, Yayoi and Irori began to sort out the information on the personnel report one by one. Among them, Jonin and Upper Samurai were the focus of attention. There were also some Chunin who mastered the special Ninjutsu, and they were also paying attention.
Finally, the selected ninjas and samurai are assigned to suitable vacant positions.
This kind of work is very tedious to handle, but neither Yayoi nor Irori was impatient at all, and they did not need any words or eye contact during the process, because they were already used to handling state affairs side by side like this.
This kind of tacit understanding that is as close as one body is far beyond the reach of others.

Land of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village.
Uchiha Clan Compound, Naka Shrine.
Madara Uchiha was dressed in black, with black hair like a waterfall. He sat cross-legged on the main seat of the room. A pair of scarlet Sharingan opened his eyes and swept over the Uchiha tribesman facing him, who was also sitting cross-legged on the floor.
These Uchiha clan members are all the powerful people in the clan, twenty-six people in total.
Nine people are Radical Faction, and seventeen people are Conservative Faction.
There are men and women among them, but none of them are under thirty years old. They have all been given the ninja rank of Jonin by Hidden Leaf Village. (Uchiha is not only these Jonin, here are just those in power, and there are also Jonin who are not in real power, not counting)
They sat in front of Madara, either doubtful, hostile, or careless.
"Tell me, what are you going to do when you hold a clan meeting at this time? I still have work to do."
A Radical Faction and Uchiha ninja spoke. He was only in his forties, but he was already one of the senior members of the clan.
His attitude towards Madara, the clan leader, was more of a disregard than a lack of concern.
"Don't be too presumptuous in a place like this."
A Conservative Faction staff member reprimanded him.
In any case, Madara is also the clan leader who leads Uchiha Clan, and Uchiha can become one of the founders of Konoha alongside Senju Clan, all because of Madara's strength.
Therefore, although the Uchiha clan members of Conservative Faction are more inclined to the Senju Clan, they also respect Madara, the clan leader, and will conscientiously complete the things assigned by him.
"Humph."
The person in Radical Faction clasped his hands on his chest and turned his head, looking indifferent.
Madara didn't pay attention to these differences and quarrels, and just said without warning:
"Next... I'm leaving Konoha, who among you wants to come with me?"
"!?"
Such extremely calm words were like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.
No matter Conservative Faction or Radical Faction, they were all looking at the expressionless Madara in front of them in shock.
"Clan leader, you mean... to go out on a mission?"
A Conservative Faction ninja hesitated for a moment, carefully considering Madara's intentions.
Madara spoke again, this time his intention was more obvious.
"No, leaving Konoha... means leaving this village and completely dividing it."
"Are you kidding, Madara! What on earth are you talking about!?"
Before the Conservative Faction people could continue to speak, the Radical Faction people were the first to get angry, glaring at Madara with incredulous eyes.
When he formed an alliance with the Senju Clan and established the current Hidden Leaf Village, he, the patriarch, was the first to compromise with the Senju Clan.
As a result, they Radical Faction have to rely on the Senju Clan to survive.
But things had happened, and they had no choice but to endure it.
And it was decided that through this village, Uchiha Clan would surpass Senju Clan and become the leader of the village, surpassing Senju Clan.
Different from those tribesmen who ran away, the tribesmen who stayed in the village now, whether radical or conservative, essentially wanted the family to dominate the ninja village and make the family strong, but there were differences in the styles of doing things.
Now that the village has finally been established, Madara, the founder and their clan leader, wants to leave...
Why didn't you say this before Konoha was established?
He, the clan leader, was the one who initially joined forces with Senju and ignored their opinions. Now that Madara has chosen to leave Konoha, he still ignores their opinions and makes a decision without any warning.
Even people from Conservative Faction couldn't help but look at Madara with suspicion, with an incomprehensible color in his eyes.
So capricious, is he... really the patriarch of Uchiha?
Although they are not as powerful as Madara, they are still living people with thoughts and need to be respected and recognized.
Madara's behavior is undoubtedly vetoing all the efforts of all of them during this period, and he completely disrespects the ideas of these tribesmen.
