The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 227 Territory

"The specific measures for the first ninja world reform will be announced by the Secretariat in seven days."

Uchiha Muan's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, and his tone revealed an undeniable authority. "Now, the second matter is to decide on the division of the existing territory of the Magic Continent."

"It's finally our turn."

Gilkenif was secretly pleased; the fact that the ninja world wasn't a monolithic entity gave him a glimmer of hope. However, the ninja world leader's arbitrary decision-making sent a chill down his spine.

The atmosphere below, where no one dared to resist, forced him to be on high alert, preparing to face the impending storm.

"The Kingdom of [Li-Ye-Shi-Ze] has been renamed the Province of Heaven, with the capital city, Heaven's Capital, located at the site of the former royal capital."

"The [Bahars] Empire has been renamed the Province of Earth, with the provincial capital, the Capital of Earth, located at the site of the former imperial capital."

"The Six Great Gods' Kingdom of Slan has been renamed the Province of Mystery, with its capital, Mystery Capital, located at the site of the former God Capital."

"The Council of [Agland] has been renamed the Province of Yellow, with the capital city of Yellow Capital located at the site of the former capital."

After naming the four conquered countries, Uchiha Muan looked at the somber atmosphere below and understood what they wanted.

Land and population!

Having these two things can basically be seen as the prototype of a future warlord.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Takeo, deeply influenced by the idea of ​​unification from his previous life, scoffed at the feudal system. With his teleportation array, there was no situation where Konoha was beyond his control or his reach.

All the land and people under heaven belong to him!

But if you only want the horse to run without feeding it, it's inevitable that the people below will slack off.

While the Sharingan can certainly make people devoted, relying on it to solve every problem is a sign of being a failure as a person.

"The officials needed in each province, city and county are all ninjas who have made meritorious contributions during the conquest. Among them, the minimum strength for the provincial governor is Lieyang, the minimum strength for the city governor is Huiyue, and the minimum strength for the county governor is Chenxing. If the strength is not enough, they can participate in the election for deputy positions. The required level for deputy positions can be two levels lower than that for the head position."

Strength is the facade of everything, and Uchiha Wu'an doesn't want to hear the absurd news that a certain governor has been murdered one day. However, the current strength of the ninja world is not even enough to satisfy the needs of the five provinces of the ninja continent.

But he believed that it was only a matter of time before the morning stars were no better than dogs and the moon shone brightly everywhere.

These words immediately ignited a passion in everyone's hearts.

They weren't stupid; they understood Uchiha Takeoshi's meaning perfectly—they shouldn't even think about the fertile land, but they were perfectly capable of vying for various official positions and powers!

Becoming a provincial governor is like becoming a former daimyo and leader of a ninja village. Even though one is subject to many restrictions from laws and regulations, within the bounds of the rules and with the help of human relationships, it is enough to lead a wave of family rise.

Having realized this, Master Yuan no longer intended to let Yagura Karatachi stay in the Water Province.

With the current strength of the Water City, it can easily achieve success on both the Ninja World Continent and the Magic Continent. He can stay behind to guard the Water City and govern the Water Province, while Yagura Karatachi can participate in the struggle for the four major provinces on the Magic Continent.

The resistance involved might even be much lower than Master Yuan imagined.

The position of deputy governor doesn't matter either, as all provincial governor positions are currently vacant, except for a few bigwigs from Konoha who are personally involved!

Moreover, there are far more meat than wolves right now. Instead of spreading out in all directions, sitting still in one place is simply brainless!

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what a pity."

Hanzo, the Salamander with the weakest foundation, looked at his subordinates with a gloomy gaze. After weighing his strength, he could only sigh in his heart and focus on managing his Rain Capital, Rain Province.

Han shared the same thought: the current capital city could not withstand any further turmoil.

Chiyo of the Wind Capital carefully considered her younger brother Ebina, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki Bunfuku, and the Ninja Army. After a moment's thought, she also chose to give up.

The world is so big, as long as you have enough strength, there will always be opportunities.

After giving his subordinates time to think, Uchiha Takeo continued, "At the same time, a security bureau will be established in each province, and the director will be appointed by the Konoha Security Bureau. I hope everyone will abide by the law and not do anything wrong!"

They will never make mistakes if they are not given the opportunity to do so.

Knowing this, Uchiha Takeo directly hung an imperial sword over their heads.

The dispatched police chiefs will all be Uchiha who have awakened their Sharingan. These stubborn Uchiha are impossible to change through any means other than physical means to destroy their minds.

No one was surprised by this. On the contrary, in the eyes of the wise and experienced Master Yuan, having the right to check and balance was far more reassuring than not having it.

This at least rules out the possibility that Uchiha Wu'an just wanted to play around and then kill them.

Moreover, a large forest has all kinds of birds. The governor can keep an eye on the people around him, but he can't keep an eye on their relatives. If you go down the chain of command, there might be some spoiled fools who do something horrific.

With the presence of the police bureau for inspection and law enforcement, the province can be more stable, and some unexpected pests can be eliminated, preventing future problems from dragging down those above.

Master Yuan's idea is not surprising; people who are not quick-witted would not be allowed to sit in the meeting room.

Even if I hadn't thought of it yet, I wouldn't be foolish enough to express an opinion different from Uchiha Takeoshi's.

"The desert city in the southern part of the Heavenly Province, the Holy Kingdom which borders the sea to the southwest, and the Dragon Kingdom and Forest Elf Kingdom to the east of the Mysterious Province—the Heavenly Province and the Mysterious Province should make contact. Those who are willing to submit are naturally preferred; those who are unwilling should resort to war!"

The cold words silenced the room. Yuan Shi thought of Han's fate and decided to prevent Yagura Gouju from becoming the deputy governor of the two provinces.

It's not that we're unwilling to help His Majesty solve his problems, it's just that daily necessities are expensive, and we're already stretched thin with limited resources to develop the military forces in two provinces.

Driven by selfish motives, they were unwilling to let Water City suffer heavy losses for benefits they couldn't grasp.

"Among those present, who is willing to assume the position of Governor-General of the Heavenly Province and the Mysterious Province?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Uchiha ninjas immediately stood up, with Mizuki Haku being the most eager to step forward.

The former adhered to the principle of dancing on the edge of a knife and singing in the flames, while the latter was determined to conquer all directions for Uchiha Muan and suppress all those who were disobedient.

As the two sides clashed, the remaining ninjas who were willing to fight knew they couldn't win and were unwilling to make a fool of themselves.

Uchiha Muan's gaze fell on the two girls who slowly stood up at the back of the conference room.

Antilin, formerly of the Slane Theocracy, now the Xuan Capital.

Lana, formerly of the Kingdom of Ri Yesteje, now the capital of the heavens.
