Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Emerging from the root base, Hongdou looked up at the moon overhead, then looked back at the entrance to the root base, feeling a sense of unreality.

Unexpectedly, the past year had passed in just one afternoon.

"No wonder such legends circulate in both the Root and the Dark Bureau."

Hongdou bowed her head and clenched her fist.

The power remained unchanged, but the process of cultivating within the illusion was deeply imprinted in my mind, and those experiences were not illusions.

"I'm different now..."

Hongdou smiled, but the next moment she frowned, staggered, and had a splitting headache.

Staying in the illusion for too long has caused immense mental strain.

With her mind still foggy from the ninja's sleepiness, Red Bean leaped up and hurried home.

Meanwhile, Hoshino Shuichi was strolling and chatting leisurely with Asuka and the others, and everyone they met on the way looked on with envy.

As expected of Hideaki, he saved the ninja world!

……

The following day, Kakashi and the others reunited in Room 11 of Root.

Without wasting any words, Hoshino Shuichi directly pulled everyone into the illusion.

Intensive training begins!

Kakashi and the others are each a separate illusion.

Within the illusion, each of the stars under the stars was giving individual instruction to Kakashi and the others.

Time passes little by little.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Jonin Council of the Ninja Alliance was finally established, and as expected, Minato Namikaze became the first chairman of the Five Kage Joint Expanded Council.

Subsequently, the framework construction of the Ninja Alliance accelerated.

The first step is to collect economic support from the various countries in the ninja world. In other words, all the economic support that the countries originally allocated to the major ninja villages will be transferred to the Ninja Alliance, which will then allocate it.

The second is task integration.

However, Minato Namikaze did not take the overly radical approach of directly dismantling the existing ninja formations of various countries, but instead reassigned the ninjas to squads.

Instead, they temporarily adopted a model of cooperating with different ninja village teams to get them used to each other.

Meanwhile, with the arrival of July, Konoha became increasingly lively.

This year's Chunin Exams will bring together ninjas from all the ninja villages in the entire ninja world, making it extremely important. Furthermore, Konoha has effectively become the core of the entire ninja world.

However, inside the Alliance's meeting room, the various figures were also debating this issue.

The Fourth Raikage slammed his fists on the conference table, shouting, "Only harsh environments can forge truly outstanding ninjas, and the environment in Kumogakure is undoubtedly the most suitable!"

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, immediately retorted, "If we're talking about harsh environments, I think the Land of Wind is the most suitable, Raikage."

The Fourth Raikage scoffed, "That's true, but the Land of Wind is too one-dimensional."

Mei Terumi couldn't help but mutter to herself: Double standards!

She learned this word from Shuichi Hoshino.

Mei Terumi glanced at Minato Namikaze, who was chairing the meeting, and said, "I think conducting the assessment on an island would be very suitable."

"An island, a relatively isolated environment with diverse terrain, and far from crowds, where ninjas can freely express themselves."

Admiral Mifune nodded in agreement: "What the Mizukage said makes sense."

This assessment will also include newly recruited ninja warriors.

Onoki said in a deep voice, "This is the alliance's first large-scale event, so we should consider it more comprehensively."

"Why not build a giant site and establish the future headquarters of the alliance?"

"In my opinion, the most suitable location is the core area of ​​the ninja world."

The Fourth Raikage and the Fourth Kazekage frowned upon hearing this.

Mei Terumi quickly understood Onoki's intention.

In any case, the Land of Earth cannot become the location of the Alliance's headquarters. Since that's the case, let's move the Alliance's headquarters closer to the Land of Earth, or rather, to Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).

In fact, as long as the main base of the Fire Lord is not located in Konoha, it would be considered a success in the Land of Fire.

The core area of ​​the ninja world today is the Land of Rain.

The weather in the Land of Rain is undoubtedly unsuitable, as is the terrain of the Land of Grass, and even the fact that it is effectively within the territory of Konoha.

That is the land of birds.

Moreover, the Fourth Kazekage wouldn't object to this.

"As for the Fourth Raikage..." Terumi Mei thought to herself, "If he had to choose between the Land of Birds and Konoha, the Raikage would definitely choose the Land of Birds."

"As expected of the Third Tsuchikage!"

Mei Terumi couldn't help but secretly admire Onoki's scheming.

Moreover, she felt that the Fourth Hokage would probably compromise on this matter for the sake of the current situation.

As expected, although they frowned, neither the Fourth Raikage nor the Fourth Kazekage spoke, clearly acquiescing to Onoki's suggestion.

After listening and thinking for a moment, Admiral Mifune couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Onoki's suggestion was indeed reasonable.

Finally, everyone's eyes turned to the young Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze remained calm and smiled, "The Chunin Exams have three rounds. Why don't we hold the first round, a written exam, in Konoha? After all, the League's headquarters are in Konoha now."

"For the second match, the Forest of Death is a good place, but everyone's suggestions are also good. How about we follow the Fifth Mizukage's suggestion and choose an uninhabited island as the venue?"

"The third match, and even the final exhibition match shown to the daimyo, can follow the advice of the Third Tsuchikage."

"As for the location of the alliance's headquarters..."

Onoki and the others all focused their gazes.

Minato Namikaze smiled gently: "The Ninja Alliance is ushering in a new era, but at the same time, the purpose of the Ninja Alliance is also to protect the Earth and the ninja world."

"So, who is our greatest enemy?"

"The Otsutsuki clan, who came from outer space!"

"As guardians, shouldn't we be on the front lines?"

Mei Terumi's eyes immediately lit up, and she asked, "Does the Hokage mean the moon?"

Onokiji: "The moon?"

"That is indeed a very good option."

"However, according to intelligence, there are also descendants of Hamura there, and the Otsutsuki clan, who are hostile to the ninja world, right?"

Minato Namikaze nodded: "Not bad."

"The moon is the most suitable place, but of course, now is not the time."

"So, Shuichi plans to emulate the Sage of Six Paths."

The Fourth Raikage asked, "What do you mean?"

"Are we going to create another moon?"

Minato Namikaze said, "No, use the power of the Rinnegan to create an aerial fortress, which will temporarily serve as the alliance's headquarters."

"And the headquarters can be connected to various ninja villages and countries through a space-time teleportation array."

"The headquarters can also patrol the entire ninja world and move through the air."

"In that case, any place would be the core area of ​​the ninja world."

Ōnoki and the others were stunned upon hearing this.

These waves of feng shui gates are in the atmosphere.

Admiral Mifune exclaimed in amazement, "Indeed, it is a very amazing and extremely suitable idea."

"This should be the best suggestion we have today."

Mei Terumi immediately replied, "I agree with this plan."

Minato Namikaze continued, "You all should remember that Shuichi once said he wanted to change the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain, right?"

"We can bring this up when the Daimyo from various countries gather for the Chunin Exams this time."

The Fourth Raikage said, "If it's just about changing the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain, wouldn't it be enough to discuss this with the daimyo of the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain?"

"The other powerful figures will not want them to improve."

Minato Namikaze smiled confidently and said, "That's because we can't bring them any benefit."

"For example, if we want to change the desert environment of the Land of Wind, it won't be enough for Shuichi and the First Generation to plant trees alone."

"There must be a continuous water source, and at the same time, the sand must be stabilized to prevent it from shifting. Suitable grass and trees are also needed."

"Therefore, we need to import water from the land of rain and the land of rivers, which are very rich in water resources."

"Although the Land of Wind has a harsh environment, it's not actually without resources, is it?"

"Then we can build artificial canals to supply water to the Land of Wind while allowing its resources to leave the Land of Wind by water, and then be transported to other countries via the Land of Rain and the Land of Rivers."

"At the same time, goods from all countries can now enter the Land of Wind via the canal, which is much easier than before, isn't it?"

"I doubt those merchants wouldn't be tempted by this, would they? A thriving business environment means more tax revenue; wouldn't the daimyo be equally interested?"

At this point, Minato Namikaze's smile slowly faded: "If the daimyo of other countries don't agree... then we can change the daimyo."

"To fight the Otsutsuki clan, to cultivate sufficiently outstanding successors, and to protect the entire ninja world, we must concentrate all our forces. What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression subtly changed.

This can be seen as a declaration that from now on, ninjas will control everything.

Admiral Mifune said, "The daimyo will probably not admit defeat easily, nor will the ministers and nobles."

"Is this going to ignite a war between the ninja world and ordinary people?"

"Or, should we kill all those who oppose us?"

Minato Namikaze said, "Lord Mifune, the power of the Ninja Alliance is unmatched by anyone."

"The power of any single daimyo cannot rival ours, not even all the countries combined."

The Fourth Raikage then added, "That's true. As long as we eliminate the opposing leaders, a large-scale war won't be necessary."

Terumi Mei immediately said, "Those ministers and nobles can support the daimyo, or they can support us."

"We need them to govern the country, but they also need us to protect them."

"Just like the Ninja Alliance, all countries are unified, the Ninja Alliance is responsible for military force, while the ministers and nobles are responsible for economic development."

"Only in this way can we concentrate all our strength."

The Fourth Kazekage replied, "Such a plan would be opposed by all the daimyo."

Minato Namikaze said, "Of course, it doesn't need to be done in one step."

"We can refer to the Ninja Alliance model."

Onoki's gaze darkened: "Does the Hokage mean... that the Five Great Nations should unify the other nations first?"

"Then the five great nations will form a ninja-like alliance, electing someone surpassing the daimyo to lead it?"

Minato Namikaze nodded.

This can be considered a relatively mild method.

The Fourth Kazekage said, "It is indeed a feasible method."

He has long hated being bossed around by big names.

Ōnoki thought that if there was anyone who could surpass the Daimyo and also be recognized by the Ninja League, it would probably only be Hoshino-shita Shuichi.

"As expected, they're very ambitious... They probably had this plan in mind when they annexed Kusagakure and Amegakure, right?"

Onoki sighed inwardly, "What a terrifying young man. Not only does he possess strength surpassing Hashirama Senju, but he also has vision that surpasses his." (End of Chapter)
