A month later, as the enrollment date drew closer, the atmosphere in the entire Shinobi World began to turn strange.
Now, everyone in the Shinobi World knows about this mysterious Academy, and they also know that during the Five Kage Summit, a mysterious powerful figure from the Academy saved those Kage.
It may sound embarrassing, but it's true.
Moreover, the Sea Region Academy has many things that the Shinobi World has never had before, any one of which can greatly enhance the economic strength of a village or country. Therefore, every ninja village and every country plans to send young people there to learn.
The Great Ninja Village, in particular, directly summoned almost all the children in the village who met the age requirements.
After all, there are requirements to enter the Academy; not everyone can get in. So, the solution is to increase the number of applicants. As long as there are enough people, there will always be those who meet the requirements.
Almost everyone came with this mindset.
As a result, the Land of Waves has been exceptionally lively lately.
As the country closest to the Land of Water, this country had long been secretly taken over by Yuzuru's people. The daimyo had already gone to reunite with the Daimyo of the Land of Water, and as for Gato, who was equally wealthy, the same was true.
This is why Sea Capital has never experienced a financial crisis.
Thanks to the wealth of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, the wealth of the various established noble families of the Land of Water, and the contributions of the Land of Waves, the Sea Capital's finances, despite years of losses, are still able to operate normally.
Ordinary people can hardly imagine how much wealth a country's daimyo can have. To put it bluntly, any one of the Five Great Nations daimyo could buy at least half of the Shinobi World.
That's still an underestimate.
The silver notes and gold and silver jewelry in Daming Prefecture were piled up like mountains. In fact, many of the silver notes had become moldy because they hadn't been used for years, and they had to be taken out to air them.
The underground warehouses were overflowing with gold and silver treasures. These parasites had been sucking the blood of the Shinobi World for thousands of years, yet they were still not satisfied.
On the surface, allocating funds to the ninja village every year seems like a lot of talk about how difficult it is, but what's the reality? Thousands of years of accumulation—do you really think this is a joke?
Even though Yu Xian was as honest and upright as he was, many things in his home were made of jewels and Yuzuru thread.
There's no way around it, there's just too much. I can't possibly spend it all.
He was forced to take the money to prevent the national treasury from becoming too congested. Of course, later presidents couldn't do that, since he strictly accounted for it after taking it.
Those responsible for guarding the vault are all Uchiha people.
It's not that I don't trust others; it's just that no one is more obsessive than the Uchiha, to the point of being pathological.
They cared about nothing else; the only thing they held onto was the honor of the Uchiha.
No matter how peaceful they are in their daily lives, when they think of the glory of the Uchiha, they can achieve an absurd level of self-discipline and self-control.
That's why Yuzuru felt at ease about their clan.
Ultimately, it's because they value certain beliefs and feelings more than their own lives. Before, it was the glory of the Uchiha; now, there's something new: order and the rules established by Yuzuru.
Extreme obsession can sometimes have its advantages; at least with the Uchiha clan, Yuzuru can entrust them with many things.
They weren't afraid of offending anyone, because both Uchiha Yuzuru and Mei Terumi. This was a treatment the Uchiha Clan had never enjoyed before, and it was the first time in thousands of years that they had felt such unreserved goodwill.
The arrogant Uchiha looked down on everyone, and this became even more pronounced after the Senju Clan disappeared.
Therefore, they are able to become the absolute maintainers of the new order.
However, it's not entirely without constraints; the Uchiha Clan adheres to the one-child policy.
In other words, Yuzuru limited their numbers to one hundred households—no more, no less.
They had no complaints about this.
That's a hundred households!
At their peak, the Uchiha was probably only this strong. Don't underestimate them just because they were few in number; the Uchiha Clan was always engaged in fighting, and they even killed each other over Izanami.
This clan's value lies in the quality of its soldiers, not in the quantity of their troops; this has always been the case.
What Yuzuru wanted was a sharp blade that was easy to control and would never betray him.
The Uchiha of Sea Capital were brought back by him. They had experienced the ostracism of Konoha and the cruelty of the Shinobi World. Therefore, they valued Yuzuru, Sea Capital, and the New Order more than their own lives.
After a thousand years of solitude, the Uchiha has finally found a suitable home. For such people who are obsessed to the extreme, daring to tarnish and destroy the new order will only result in one outcome: death!
Therefore, almost all officials dared not try any clever tricks, because the inspection team would come to check regularly, and there were at least two families with Dōjutsu among them.
Even if you dodge the Ketsuryūgan, there's still the Sharingan; if it's serious, the Byakugan minister will personally come.
No one can escape these three challenges.
"My dear Minister of Ministry of Education, why don't you stand up when you see the President?"
Yuzuru, who was relaxing with his Yuzuru resting on Konan's black-stockinged thighs, suddenly heard Mei Terumi's voice.
After thinking about it, I decided to stay in bed.
"I was exhausted last night trying to fulfill your orders, Your Excellency."
Yuzuru lay on Konan's inner thigh, gently inhaling her delicate fragrance.
Hearing this, Mei Terumi rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You talk as if you were the one who was so tired that you fell asleep."
"Speaking of which, the President is quite remarkable. He always manages to wake up full of energy. Is that some kind of talent?"
Yuzuru put his arm around Konan's waist and pressed his face against her little belly, asking a question.
"President, I'm an expert at playing in the water."
"That's true."
Yuzuru nodded in agreement.
" Konan is no less impressive, and she has a lot of contrasting qualities."
Looking at the expressionless, aloof beauty in front of him, Yuzuru made a joke.
Konan didn't refute this, after all, she was in front of the man who knew her best, and they already knew each other inside and out.
There is indeed a contrast, but it's all because of this bad guy. She was originally very aloof, but for some reason, once he bullied her, it was as if a switch was flipped. Coupled with the blue eyeshadow and lip gloss, it only made the contrast even more striking.
" Kisame, Zabuza Ameyuri have already set off to maintain order regarding recruitment. However, the number of applicants is outrageous; the towns in the Land of Waves are almost overflowing, and there are even many tents along the roadside."
Mei Terumi sat beside him and skillfully pulled Yuzuru over, letting him rest his head on her long, black-stockinged legs.
"It's normal for there to be a lot of people. Watching a show is human nature. We don't need to pay attention to them. The number of places for the Academy should remain stable at five hundred. Apart from those on the list, let Orochimaru and the others set the questions. At least we need to test their intelligence."
"We've been working on universal education for three whole years just in Sea Capital and the surrounding areas. There are still many areas in the entire Land of Water that haven't been fully implemented yet, and I estimate it will take another three years."
"If we're like this, then the unintelligent ninjas in the Shinobi World are even worse off. So, let's leave it at that for now; we have to take things one step at a time."
