Chapter 165 Star Kingdom Star City

"Let's forget about Miroku. After all, she did help Xia Rixing and the others subdue the Demon Kingdom as promised, and the lower-level and top-level combat forces also need to be expanded."

Maitreya will not be touched, but other ghosts and gods do not receive this treatment.

Having experienced the effects of the demons' power, Naraku became even more interested in other demons.

According to the memories of the demon, it survived not because of its strength, but more because of its skill in hiding.

In terms of strength, he is just a minor figure among the demons and gods.

In comparison, death and evil gods are the best among ghosts and gods.

This undoubtedly means that the supernatural power contained in the two is far superior to that of the demons and monsters.

"Hurry up, everyone, speed things up! The next part of the project is very time-sensitive. If we go over the deadline, we'll have a hard time getting paid."

"Our chamber of commerce wants these shops. Where do we pay the deposit?"

"It's hard to imagine that such a small country could have such a magnificent ninja village. With such a size and population, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it one of the five great ninja villages."

"Ninja Village? Your information is too outdated. Let me tell you, there are no more Star Ninja Villages now. After the Land of Bears annexed the Land of Demons, this country has merged with the Ninja Village and not only changed its name to the Land of Stars, but this place has also been established as the capital of the Land of Stars, named Star City!"

"Star City of the Star Kingdom? What a grand scheme! No wonder it's a power that just annexed a country; its development is frighteningly fast."

"."

On the streets, in addition to the workers busy with construction, there are also many foreign businessmen.

These foreign merchants came to develop their businesses.

As these merchants searched for their ideal shops, they discussed the matter animatedly, often eliciting exclamations of surprise.

It's no wonder these businessmen act this way.

After all, with the successful annexation of the Demon Kingdom, the Bear Kingdom underwent tremendous changes while absorbing the population and resources brought by the Demon Kingdom.

The nation and the village of ninja merged to form the Land of Stars.

The Star Village was renamed Star City and established as the capital of the Star Kingdom.

Such actions demonstrate a new atmosphere.

Similarly, it is not difficult to see from the establishment of the name of the Star Country that the power of the Star Country was originally held by the Star Ninja Village.

Using a village as a country is not unprecedented.

That was the case with the Land of Whirlpools back then.

Although the Land of Whirlpools was eventually destroyed, this was not because of its founding, but because it was guilty of possessing a treasure.

Therefore, the establishment of the Star Kingdom did not cause chaos, but instead brought about a vibrant new life.

The best example of this is the large number of businessmen who have come here today.

Businessmen are best at discovering business opportunities.

It can be said that wherever there is money to be made, there will never be a shortage of businessmen.

That's how the Star Kingdom is now.

With the annexation of the Demon Kingdom, a large number of merchants immediately came to develop their businesses.

Especially Star City, the capital of the Star Kingdom.

Even though Star City is still under construction, it has already attracted a large number of businessmen to invest.

Star Shadow Studio.

"The surrounding canyons have been filled in, and the miasma has been treated. At the current pace of construction, the city wall will be completed within a month."

"After these days of population transfers, the city's population has exceeded 100,000. With the current housing construction, the population is already at saturation. If we are to continue to accept people, we need to further accelerate the construction of housing."

"Regarding the takeover of the new territory, the latest news from the front lines is that all towns have been taken over and supplies will be delivered as soon as possible."

"."

Inside the office, Garu, whose shapely thighs were encased in black stockings, held documents in her hands and earnestly reported her recent work to Naraku one by one.

"Population matters will be temporarily suspended until the city's construction is completed, at which point expansion can proceed. Also, regarding supplies, notify Nono to receive them properly, and make sure nothing goes wrong." After Garuro finished reporting, Naraku, sitting behind his desk, began to make arrangements methodically.

Nonou was always in charge of the details of management; he mainly set the overall direction, so the work-related tasks were not complicated.

After giving the general direction, Garu, swaying in her high heels, left the office, while Naraku got up and walked to the window.

"not bad"

Looking down at the expanded outer area, Naraku smiled slightly, feeling quite satisfied.

The Warring States period was followed by the Ninja Village period.

However, he never defined himself as a ninja, so naturally he wouldn't follow the established path of developing his power by referencing ninja villages.

In particular, he prefers to combine the cooperation between the ninja village and the state.

The establishment of the Star Kingdom is the first step he has taken in developing his future power.

"I wonder how the research on the main body is going?"

Looking down at the construction of the outer city, Naraku—no, it should be 'Naraku'—couldn't help but think of his true form.

Naraku naturally couldn't spare much energy to handle the miscellaneous tasks at work, so most of them were handled by his shadow clones.

As for himself.

He is currently conducting research on caged birds.

Inside the brand-new laboratory.

Lying unconscious on the bed in the middle is a member of the Hyuga branch family.

Naraku was standing to the side.

His right index finger touched the caged bird incantation mark on the other person's forehead, and wisps of true energy flowed into the caged bird through his fingertip.

"Finally done!"

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, Naraku showed a relaxed expression and withdrew his index finger from the Caged Bird Seal.

As Naraku withdrew his finger, his gaze also fell on the Caged Bird Seal.

Looking at the caged bird curse mark in front of him, he was quite moved.

"The people who developed this cursed seal in the Hyuga clan really went to great lengths."

After refining the Byakugan, he actually began his research on the Caged Bird.

But the caged bird's restrictive power was surprisingly strong, far exceeding his expectations.

Compared to this, the "Seal of the Extinction of the Tongue," which once threatened his life, was nothing more than child's play.

For example, the "Caged Bird" not only has the ability to control the life and death of others and seal off a portion of the Byakugan's power, but it can also restrict even the most basic human ability to reproduce.

Given the strategic significance of the Byakugan, even with the limitations of the "Caged Bird" technique, it is impossible to stop others from desiring this bloodline limit.

However, others' desire for the Byakugan is at most limited to hunting members of the Hyuga main family; they have never captured members of the Hyuga branch family who are active outside, using them as breeding boars to propagate new Byakugan bloodlines.

It's not that no one thought of this, but rather that it simply wouldn't work.

The reason lies in the "Caged Bird" seal.

Those members of the Hyuga branch family who were placed in the "Caged Bird Seal" had not only their Byakugan powers sealed away, but also their reproductive abilities.

Only when the main family uses special methods to unlock part of the sealing power of the "Caged Bird" can the branch family members have the ability to reproduce.

In other words, without the permission of the Hyuga main family, members of the Hyuga branch family are not even entitled to reproduce.

Such restrictive power can only be described as cruel.

It was only after understanding the cruelty of the "Caged Bird" that Naraku truly understood why the members of the Hyuga branch family were so obedient to the members of the Hyuga main family.

This goes beyond simply putting a chain around someone's neck; it's like having an alloy cage built alongside the chain, leaving the Hyuga branch family members with absolutely no chance of turning the tables.

Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't have been so difficult for Naraku to break through.

The key is the restriction on the "Caged Bird," which involves a very deep level, even reaching the level of the soul.

It's like "reincarnation in the Pure Land".

Even if a member of the Hyuga branch family dies, the "Caged Bird" will continue to exist in their soul, allowing those resurrected through "Edo Tensei" to retain the "Caged Bird."

Such a deep level of restriction left even Naraku, an outsider, deeply impressed.

The person who developed "Caged Bird" clearly did not intend to protect the white eyes from the very beginning, but rather to enslave them.

And this enslavement was extremely perverse.

It seems they intend to enslave the members of the Hyuga branch family for all eternity, from birth to death.

Chapter 166 The Caged Bird and the Corpse Sealing

Of course, feelings are feelings.

Now that he has this enslavement under his control, Naraku doesn't mind making use of it.

The restrictive power of "Caged Bird" is nothing short of abnormal.
