They Actually Put That Ridiculous Name Up

Pushing through the woods, Gojo Satoru emerged from the swamp.

The miasma dissipated, and the mountain path was left behind; this place was well hidden.

He kept walking, but his mind was in turmoil—what was that place like now?

A slight smile played on his lips, and he quickened his pace.

Ahead lies the New Clan Territory he had found for the Uchiha Clan.

A group of people from the clan have already moved here.

Following the route I had memorized, I hadn't walked far when a large gate suddenly appeared before me.

Familiar yet jarring.

The meatball in my mouth almost fell to the ground.

It's changed so much that he hardly recognizes it.

When I last came here, there was only a broken wooden door with the three characters "Liang Zhi Guo" (meaning "Land of Coolness") carved on it; it was incredibly shabby.

How is it now?

The old, broken door panel was replaced, and a magnificent gate stood there instead.

It's tall and wide; it must have cost a lot of money.

There were words engraved on the lintel— Gojo Satoru looked up and froze.

The name has been changed.

The place originally marked "Land of Coolness" is now occupied by three other characters.

My lips twitched.

Land of Beautiful Eyes.

You guys are really obedient.

He asked for a replacement and they actually replaced it?

He was just making that up off the top of his head, but these people actually took it seriously.

Just saying that name makes you breathless.

Gojo Satoru grinned, realizing for the first time that he had been incredibly cheeky.

I'm so regretful!

When he first saw the name "Land of Coolness," he couldn't help but blurt out, "With a name as cool as that, it's no wonder it's cool."

It would be better to call it the Land of Beautiful Eyes.

The Uchiha next to him looked completely bewildered, so he just blurted out a lie.

"Colored contact lenses, literally, mean beautiful and powerful Dōjutsu —isn't that the most fitting name for our Sharingan Clan?"

Those people were quite pleased after hearing this and kept saying "good."

Now these three large characters are carved on the lintel, hurting his eyes.

The name "Land of Coolness" isn't actually that bad.

Looking back, he was incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon this place.

When he first found it, he couldn't believe it was a country; it was so small that it couldn't even be found on a map.

The area is remote and the roads are difficult to travel, so outsiders can't get in, and naturally the economy won't be good.

In earlier years, bandits and outlaws wreaked havoc everywhere. As time went on, the common people who could flee all went away.

Even their king was killed by roaming ninjas and bandits.

The caravan avoided this area, fearing that they might lose their people before they could sell their goods.

If even the king's life couldn't be saved, it goes without saying how chaotic the local order was.

Families with some savings have long since moved to other countries to live their lives; those still stuck here are all rootless, penniless poor people who only have their lives left to struggle.

The new king inherited this mess, and without even blinking, he turned around and ordered the land sold for money so he could go elsewhere to continue enjoying his newfound wealth.

Gojo Satoru, with his sharp ears, ran back as soon as he heard the news.

He went back and emptied out all the savings his father Uchiha Fugaku, had accumulated.

Slam the money on the table and grab the land deed.

Is there a better place to hide away and accumulate wealth?

It's hidden so well that no one can find it.

Gojo Satoru shifted his gaze from the three glaring characters and stepped inside.

The scene inside was completely different from that on the Uchiha clan's side.

The atmosphere back home is oppressive and suffocating, but here it's bustling with activity.

The streets were bustling with people, noisy and chaotic.

Gojo Satoru muttered to himself, "It's actually quite well built."

The things that were in my head came back to mind.

He had planned it out.

Although his father trusted him more after their private conversation, this was a matter of life and death for the entire clan.

As the Clan Head leader, Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't just casually delegate such a task to a teenager.

Those warmongering old men in the tribe would certainly not agree.

Even those clan elders who didn't want war and longed for peace might not believe him, seeing him as a mere kid who hadn't even grown his hair yet.

Upon learning this, their first reaction would definitely be to hesitate; they wouldn't readily agree.

So he didn't go after those old guys in the first place.

First, establish yourself among your peers, gain their respect, and bring them together.

Once I become the leader of this group, I'll secretly work hard behind the scenes with my father's help.

Under the guise of finding a way to survive for those who lack talent or are too injured to continue being ninjas, he brought his trusted clansmen to the Land of Coolness.

The foundation for the New Clan Territory settlement was laid in this way.
