A few months later, as Yuzuru was processing documents for several new departments in his office, Mei Terumi suddenly walked in with Zabuza and Kisame.
" The Sand Ninja has contacted us, asking when we plan to pick up that Sand Ninja Village princess, I think her Temari?"
Mei Terumi pulled up a chair and sat down casually, while Zabuza and Kisame stood properly in front of Yuzuru behind her.
Although Mei Terumi dares to be so presumptuous here, it doesn't mean that the two of them are equally qualified.
"Since they can't wait any longer, then you take Zabuza and Kisame tomorrow. I'll have Kakashi secretly meet them."
What tactics are you worried they might use?
Mei Terumi looked at him in surprise.
"We both know what kind of people the Sand Ninja are, and Temari is a very important character."
Yuzuru put down her pen and smiled Mei Terumi.
"In the future, after we bring the Land of Wind under our control, we will need someone to manage it, but our people are completely unfamiliar with that place. Temari is the most suitable person to assist us in managing it."
"For us now, defeating other major powers and gradually seizing territory is not difficult. The problem lies in how to manage it after we have seized it, and who can manage it? These are all questions."
"War is inevitable, but what we need to do is win the war at the lowest possible cost. Everyone in Sea Capital has received a modern education, unlike those old fogies in the Shinobi World. Sacrificing anyone in Sea Capital would be a loss."
Therefore, we need to find suitable people to assist our people in managing those future territories. The Land of Wind is the weakest of the Five Great Nations and the easiest to attack. Temari is one such experiment.
"Locals managing locals will greatly reduce unnecessary conflicts. We only need to strip them of their military capabilities. As for most ordinary people, they can't cause any trouble. Most people just want a better life. As long as their lives are better than before, with food and shelter, they will support us."
"Alright, I'll set off with them tomorrow. By the way, that Yugito Two-Tails has been insisting on seeing you lately."
Mei Terumi stood up and patted the hem of her skirt.
"Really? I remember, I brought her to Sea Capital more than half a year ago, right? It's only now that she's thinking of seeing me; she's taking much longer than I expected."
"Tsk, that guy is a model citizen. Since coming to Sea Capital and getting used to life Sea Capital, he's been happier than anyone else. He's always willing to help others, and he even found a job. He's more of a local than Sea Capital locals."
Mei Terumi said with a smile.
"It might be related to her experience as Jinchūriki in previous years. Let's meet her then."
Yuzuru nodded.
Mei Terumi didn't say anything more, and led her people away from the presidential office, preparing to head to Sunagakure the next day.
After a while, Yugito was also brought into the office.
"It really was you!"
Upon seeing Yuzuru, Yugito reacted like a stressed cat, her fur standing on end, becoming extremely cautious and wary.
"It's me? What, are you so surprised?"
Yuzuru looked up at her and smiled.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Minazuki Yuzuru, and I am the President of the Land of Water, the true ruler."
"So, what's your purpose in bringing me here?"
Seeing that Yugito had no intention of attacking him, Yuzuru gradually relaxed, sat down in the chair that Mei Terumi had just sat in, and looked at him.
"It's simple, you're just too strong."
Yugito:?
"What I mean is that, for Iwagakure, Kumogakure is far too strong. The Perfect Jinchuriki Killer B, plus Raikage A, and a large number of other ninjas... your Two-Tails is a bit redundant."
"Although you and the Two-Tails within you are no different from a big cat in front of me, to others, Tailed Beast are deadly weapons, especially Jinchūriki. So, in order to prevent Konoha from being targeted too harshly by you, and to balance the strength of the three parties, I Teuchi crippled the Four-Tails Jinchūriki and severely injured the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, using them to conduct some negotiations with Iwagakure. As for Kumogakure, I simply took you away."
Yuzuru interlaced his fingers, rested his chin on them, and quietly watched Yugito.
"Your strength is formidable; I am no match for you, I admit that. But I still have to say, you are incredibly audacious. I have already learned about the situation in this so-called Sea Capital and the Land of Water. You personally killed the Daimyo of the Land of Water, those nobles, and the original high-ranking officials of Kirigakure, disbanded Kirigakure, and abolished the ninja system."
"Do you know what will happen once these things get out?"
Yugito couldn't help but say.
"You said it yourself, it has to get out, but the problem is, how is it possible for it to get out?"
"Your isolationist policy is very powerful, but it will eventually be exposed."
"I didn't intend to keep it hidden forever."
"As for you, you've had a very comfortable life here these past six months. I've heard that all your neighbors like you very much. You're a kind-hearted girl and a law-abiding citizen."
Yuzuru looked at her and teased her.
"What? You really enjoy life in Sea Capital that much?"
"I... I didn't!"
Yugito's pretty face flushed red.
"Is that so? Then, which do you think is better: the new world I'm building, or your old-fashioned ninja system and daimyo system of Kumogakure?"
Yuzuru asked with a smile.
"This,,,"
Yugito did not answer immediately.
Subconsciously, she was told that she should support Kumogakure because she was a ninja from Kumogakure, Jinchūriki of Kumogakure, and this was the system that had always existed in the Shinobi World.
But reality told her that the Land of Water of today, and this brand-new Sea Capital, are the real paradise.
In every respect, whether ordinary people or capable ninjas, everyone here is under unified management, making it the most suitable place to live, because there is no need to worry about suddenly losing one's life.
Even Jinchūriki like her can live such a peaceful and comfortable life like an ordinary person, without having to consider her duties as a weapon or any missions.
"Let me be frank, in fifteen years at most, the Land of Water and the Sea Capital will appear before the world, and that will also be the time when the Fourth Shinobi World War breaks out."
"Are you going to start a war?"
Yugito exclaimed in shock.
"It's not that I started the war, but that the Shinobi World has been corrupt for too long. From the Warring States period to the era of ninja villages created by Hashirama Senju, this world has not made any progress. Ordinary people still don't live like human beings. Even in ninja villages, at least half of the people live without any dignity. This backward and corrupt era should have ended long ago."
"War is a necessary baptism, and also the best funeral for the old era. Since ninjas love war and enjoy being used as tools, and daimyo and nobles treat war as child's play, then I will use an unprecedented war to bury all the ninjas, daimyo, and those nobles of the old era—these high and mighty parasites."
"Do you know what you're going to face? It's the combined forces of four major powers and all the smaller nations of the Shinobi World," Yugito immediately said.
"If those good-for-nothings really had that ability, why didn't they dare utter a single word in front of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha?"
"Your idea is insane. Even the legendary God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, never did something like this."
"Heh, him? He just looks like a human being; his brain is barely bigger than a walnut."
Yuzuru chuckled.
" The Tailed Beast within you, and Killer B's Tailed Beast, were personally given to your Kumogakure by him, who thought that would bring peace. But what happened? You used the Tailed Beast he gave you to invade the Land of Fire. And it wasn't just you; the Iwagakure did the same."
"The reason is simple: the Tailed Beast gave you unwarranted confidence. This was the result of that idiot Hashirama Senju's own actions. Therefore, I am not surprised at all by the destruction of the Senju Clan and the state of Konoha. When fools are in power, the result is self-destruction. The Senju has already been wiped out, and Konoha is almost there too."
"However, I am different from him. I will control all the Tailed Beast and make them my own. Now, with you included, Sea Capital already has four Tailed Beast. Do you know what that means?"
"This means I can destroy a major power in an instant. If four Tailed Beast Bomb aren't enough, then eight, twelve. I believe that under the firepower of four Tailed Beast, no country can stand against Sea Capital."
Upon hearing this, Yugito's face instantly turned pale.
Four Tailed Beast, almost half of Tailed Beast, and more importantly, there is the Nine-Tails among them.
"Just as you thought, no one can stop the arrival of a new era. Sea Capital is the new world, and I am the one who creates the future."
" Yugito, you only have two choices: one is to Sea Capital and become one of the nine guardian Jinchūriki of the Sea Capital; the second choice is for me to have the Two-Tails removed."
Having experienced this new era, I believe you will make the right choice.
Yuzuru looked at Yugito in front of him and said with a smile.
After a long silence, Yugito slowly stated his conditions, "I can Sea Capital, but if we really have to face Kumogakure in the future, I hope someone else will go."
"Well, we'll see."
Yuzuru didn't give her a direct answer.
"In short, welcome to Sea Capital."
"You left me to live alone for six months, was that all for this purpose?"
Yugito looked up at him.
"Whether it's good or bad, you have to experience it for yourself. If I told you how wonderful the Sea Capital or how wonderful the Land of Water, you definitely wouldn't believe me. So, you should experience it for yourself and see what the truly right path is."
Yuzuru explained.
"In the past six months, at least you've shown me that you haven't been completely bound by the outdated shackles of ninja. Young people, it's better to be full of energy. There are many choices in life, but being a ninja is definitely not a good one."
