Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 742 Emerging Empire
Since the Rain Country Incident in mid-January, the full-scale war between Yuyin and Akatsuki, the death of Hanzo, and Kanzang's rise to power, Akatsuki has advanced the front of Yuyin one after another. dormant state...

It has been more than a week since the above-mentioned disputes started to end. This week may be very long for Yahiko and the others, but it is too short for Lei Luo and other high-level members of Fire Nation.

Today is the end of January in Konoha 45, to be precise, January 25th, and the military high-level meeting just ended on the 21st.

In the middle days, various arrangements were implemented, including but not limited to communicating with congressmen, formally mobilizing military ninjas and Konoha ninjas to gather, forming a national defense force, and organizing ninjas to check their own equipment, in order to cope with today's activities.

The festive atmosphere after the new year is still strong, and the weather has not turned warm, but the people of the Land of Fire in the capital are still wrapped in heavy autumn clothes, go out of the house, and walk on the street until they gather in the square in front of the Capitol.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sunshine of Hexi swayed down, bringing a trace of warmth, which seemed to indicate that today's speech event organized by Mr. Prime Minister would have a good start.

The crowd is bustling, rubbing shoulders, or chatting with each other or eagerly greeting each other. There are more than [-] ordinary people living in the capital, but this incomparably wide Congress Square paved with stone roads does not look crowded at all.

When designing the Capitol back then, Lei Luo considered that such an occasion would appear today, so all the surrounding houses and shops were emptied, and there were places where he could settle down in a radius of several kilometers.

Strictly speaking, the square directly in front of the Capitol is a straight street with a width of several kilometers and a length that directly connects the east and west gates. Let alone 10 people, even an additional [-] people can accommodate it.

Lei Luo, who was dressed in a neat black suit, stood on the high platform built in front of the Capitol, looking at the boundless crowd in the distance, feeling the sound of the roaring waves like the vast sea, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he held the speech The palm of the manuscript also trembled slightly for a moment.

Thirteen years have passed since the beginning of time travel...

Before I knew it, I had come to where I am today.

The unification war is finally about to start.

Are you ready?

The rows of subordinates on both sides of the military and government sitting behind them naturally didn't know the various thoughts that came to mind. They only knew that a war was about to happen.

To be honest, today's speech and the upcoming military parade, whether it is the congressmen, the high-level Ninja Army, or the civilians below, have been looking forward to it for a long time.

As the breeze blew, the fiery red flags stuck on the railing of the high platform fluttered, reflecting the National Emblem of the Nation of Fire embroidered on the front:

A simple, orange-red and blazing-white flame pattern composed of three flame bodies of different lengths. Its lines are extremely clear, just like the development process of the country of fire, which has been steadily advancing every step since the reform of the country of fire.

Daimyo, Prime Minister, Prime Minister, Members of Parliament, Minister of Intelligence, Minister of Roots, Director of Scientific Research, Konoha Agent Hokage, Second Village Hokage, Konoha All Ninja Clan Chiefs, All Cabinet Officials, Business Owners at All Levels, All Departments of the Industrial Park Research Institute In charge of all technical workers...

There are 2000 local ninjas in Konoha, 1000 ninjas from major military regions, [-] ninjas from the second village, more than [-] ninjas from the intelligence department, more than [-] ninjas from the root department, [-] production ninjas from the Fire Country, and those present The more than one hundred thousand people of the Land of Fire...

Lei Luo, Mitsue, Nonou, Kageyama Mamoru, Orochimaru, Uchiha Fugaku, Hyuga Tamaki, Uzumaki Makoto, Nara Shikahisa, Namikaze Minato...

Tsunade, Nawaki, Takashi Maeda, Kazuki Kawa, Daiki Iguchi, Koichi Uzumaki, Hiruhu, Jun Nohara, Higashi Hinata, Dingza Akido, Kaiichi Yamanaka, Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, Lin...

Those who can be named, those who cannot be named...

Countless people gathered in the capital and in front of the Capitol. Everyone moved a little, and a tsunami-like sound wave followed. A light exchange of words, and a loud noise like a landslide and an earth-shattering spread across ten miles.

Countless wills, all condensed above the fluttering flags, evolved into the concept of a country, a collective, and with the growing patriotism, it turned into a raging wind and a sharp long sword...

The hilt of the sword is held in the hands of the leader...

Feel free to stab upwards...

It's like piercing through the clouds above your head...

Let the dazzling brilliance shroud the four countries of the land of fire, the land of rivers, the land of tea, and the land of vortex, millions of square kilometers of land, nearly a quarter of the soil of the entire ninja world, and more than 200 million people heart.

No matter what it was before, what it will be like in the future.

At least, the Kingdom of Fire today...

Enough to be called a powerful, qualified to be an enemy of all ninja villages and ninjas in all other countries in the world. The territory, economy, technology, military and many fields surpass any country in the history of the ninja world, and a majestic empire beyond the imagination of the world. .

As time slowly passed, a few minutes or more than ten minutes gradually passed, and the thoughts one after another in the mind gradually calmed down, and the sea of ​​people below stopped communicating as if they had sensed something, and turned their gazes upwards.

Concentrate on that black figure at the top of the high platform.

Prime Minister Laylow—

For the man who was born in Hokage, initiated the reform, and is now in charge of the country, unlike the ninjas, the people of the country of fire do not fear him too much, at most, they respect or worship him?

After all, I can see him give a speech every week or two, and watch him accuse the brutal rule of foreign countries in front of the Capitol. It is a little strange, and it has long been washed away by the ideological exchanges over the past two years. .

Lei Luo is a ruler who is close to the people and is willing to consider the interests of the common people. He is different from any other daimyo and nobleman in the past—this is the impression that the people of the Kingdom of Fire have on him.

What's more, in the past two years after the reform, people's lives are indeed much better than before. The production ninjas are vigorously building infrastructure, various emerging industrial products flow into the market, the social welfare security system has been implemented one after another, and factories have provided a large number of high-wage jobs.

Most importantly, the chakra reagent that has the opportunity to achieve class leapfrogging...

These incidents are enough for every commoner to see the rapid changes in the Land of Fire, and without any psychological burden, welcome the dawn of the new era with enthusiasm, and pay the highest respect to their Prime Minister.

Under the cloudless sky, there was a moving head as if the sea and the sky were handing over. Under the gaze of countless eyes, Lei Luo took a deep breath and slowly opened his lips. The first sentence was received by the microphone on the podium, Then, through the countless loudspeakers built near the square, it spread throughout the capital of the country of fire:

"Eight days ago, something happened in the Land of Rain."
