I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Naraku and Nonou added to the list little by little.

For example, medical care, intelligence, interrogation, and a whole range of other fields.

"From today onwards, you are ninjas of Hoshigakure!"

Under the bright sunshine, on the ninja academy's lecture stage, Naraku, dressed in a magnificent robe specially made for him by Nono, raised his voice with high spirits amidst the admiring gazes of many young men and women in the square.

"Oh!!"

"I've become a ninja!"

"Long live Lord Naraku!"

"."

The boys and girls who successfully passed their graduation exams cheered with youthful exuberance, a scene that brought smiles to the faces of the ninja academy teachers responsible for maintaining order.

A week goes by quickly.

Right now, it's the first graduation ceremony of the Star Ninja Village Ninja Academy.

With a significant investment of resources in nurturing her, the results have exceeded Nono's initial expectations.

The first graduating class of the Star Village Ninja Academy consisted of 623 people.

This also means that the military strength of Xingnin Village has suddenly increased by 623 genin.

And this is just the beginning.

With the graduation of the first class, the Ninja Academy not only enrolled a new batch of students, but most of the original second-year students also successfully advanced to the third year.

This undoubtedly proves that if we wait another year, the Star Ninja Village will once again welcome a new generation.

After a lively celebration, Naraku, accompanied by Garu, returned to the Star Shadow Pavilion.

"Karura, have you finished sorting out the matters concerning the alliance with Sunagakure?"

As Naraku settled into his office chair, he turned to look at Karura, who was attending to him.

Gallo was dressed in a standard secretary's outfit, with a fitted white shirt on top and a black pencil skirt on the bottom.

She even wore a pair of frameless glasses.

This outfit not only perfectly accentuates Jia Liuluo's figure, but also makes the already beautiful Jia Liuluo even more charming.

Hmm. This secretary outfit was Naraku's personal request.

After forming the secretariat, Naraku's first choice was Garuro.

Arranging for Jia Liuluo to be his secretary was not only to give him more time to train her in the future, but also to make things easier for himself.

Counting his fingers as he pushed up his glasses, Jia Liuluo reported earnestly, "Rest assured, my lord, I have already prepared the matters concerning the alliance."

As he spoke, Garuro bent down to help Naraku find the relevant documents from the many files on his desk.

Naraku leaned back in his chair, his gaze drawn to the giant peach swaying in front of him.

Without any hesitation, he started weighing it himself.

Feeling the hand behind him, Jia Liuluo paused, but quickly recovered and continued searching for the documents.

Even after finding the documents, Garuro very sensibly squatted down, reached into the bag, and began to take the initiative to help Naraku take care of his body.

Naraku smiled slightly.

While enjoying the nourishing effects of durian, he flipped through the documents in his hand.

The document concerns the alliance between Hoshigakure and Sunagakure.

With Yekura successfully becoming the Kazekage, Naraku naturally wouldn't waste this power.

He had already spoken with Yekura when he left Sunagakure.

Therefore, during this period, Yekura had already sent an envoy to prepare for an alliance between Sunagakure and Hoshigakure.

As for why Naraku wanted Hoshigakure and Sunagakure to form an alliance.

The simplest purpose is to be able to openly and legitimately offer assistance when Yekura encounters problems.

Of course, forming an alliance with Sunagakure would also benefit Hoshigakure's future development.

For example, it is easier to obtain various mineral resources needed for development through the Land of Wind.

Bang!

As Naraku was reviewing the documents, a sudden thought struck him: he sensed that Death Scorpion was contacting him using a summoning jutsu.

Without hesitation, Naraku summoned the Death Scorpion that had been in contact with him.

Amidst billowing white smoke, a palm-sized dead scorpion appeared on the desk.

When Death Scorpion saw Naraku, it opened its mouth and spat out a scroll larger than itself.

Naraku, unfazed by the scene, picked up the scroll and opened it.

Chapter 118 Konoha's Internal Strife

Upon seeing the contents of the scroll, Naraku's brows furrowed slightly.

The scroll came from the leaf warehouse.

To facilitate communication, he specifically arranged for Yecang to also sign a spirit communication contract with the Death Scorpion clan.

Now, Yekura has sent him a message using the Death Scorpion.

"Daimyo of the Land of Wind, heh. Although you are the daimyo of one of the five great nations, even the Kazekage of Sunagakure is now one of my men. If you dare to cause trouble, don't blame me for turning you into a tool too."

A dangerous glint appeared in Naraku's eyes.

The message from Yekura concerns the daimyo of the Land of Wind.

To be precise, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind proposed to reduce the military expenditure of Sunagakure, and also subtly indicated to Yekura that the issue of military expenditure could be discussed as long as Yekura submitted to him.

The village of ninja is the military core of a country.

However, the relationship between the two is not one of superior and subordinate, but rather more like a cooperative one.

Therefore, daimyo generally only have the right to advise ninja villages, but not direct command authority.

If the cooperation between the two parties is good, there is naturally no problem, but if problems arise in the cooperation, it will undoubtedly lead to a worsening reaction.

The Sand Village and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind clearly belong to the latter.

In the original storyline, after the Third Shinobi World War, Sunagakure's military budget was severely cut by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, to the point that it almost fell out of the ranks of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Such signs are now faintly appearing.

It's possible that the sudden death of Rasa, the Kazekage, gave the Daimyo of the Land of Wind an opportunity to seize power, and thus he wanted to pressure the newly appointed Yoruichi by cutting military spending, forcing him to submit.

Neither Yekura nor Naraku could accept this approach.

Especially Naraku.

In order to completely control the entire Bear Country, he directly had Rain and Wolf use illusion magic to control the daimyo of the Bear Country.

His name is not a taboo subject for him.

Upon learning that the daimyo of the Land of Wind was up to some trouble, he immediately decided to go to the capital of the Land of Wind and use illusion magic to turn the other party into his tool.

Luo Sha died suddenly, and Ye Cang took over.

The changes in Sunagakure could not be kept secret from the eyes of various factions.

The other four villages, which are also among the five great ninja villages, learned of the news immediately.

Based on the intelligence they had obtained, various factions even strongly suspected that Rasa's death was not caused by an outsider, but most likely by the newly appointed Yoko.

There's no way around it; people from other factions don't have the same level of faith in Chiyo and Ebizo as the people of Sunagakure do, so they naturally tend to analyze things more rationally.

"Sunagakure is truly plagued by misfortunes. The Third Kazekage has disappeared, and now the Fourth Kazekage, who has only recently taken office, has died suddenly. I wonder how long this new Fifth Kazekage can hold on."

"The Five Great Ninja Villages are not static. The Sand Village is currently in turmoil and may be the first to fall from the ranks of the Five Great Ninja Villages."

"Really? Sunagakure has allied with Hoshigakure? Doesn't that mean Hoshigakure has now formed an alliance with two major ninja villages?"

"."

Various factions are discussing the turmoil in Sunagakure, including the possibility of an alliance between Sunagakure and Hoshigakure.

It should be noted that Hoshigakure had already formed an alliance with Kumogakure, and even cooperated tacitly to attack the Land of Earth after the alliance was formed.

When it was learned that Hoshigakure had formed an alliance with Sunagakure after Kumogakure, many people were amazed.

Simply put, given the series of developments in Xingnin Village, anyone with even a modicum of intelligence could see that Xingnin Village's rise was unstoppable.

Especially when many people think of the man who led the Star Ninja Village, they can't help but feel awe.

It looks like a gold exchange.

Since Naraku assassinated Hiruzen Sarutobi, many bounty hunters at the Gold Exchange have even revered Naraku as the king of assassins in the ninja world.

Iwagakure Village.

"That piece of trash, Luo Sha!!"

Even the guards standing outside the Tsuchikage office could clearly hear Onoki's curses.
