Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 288 Recruitment (Part 2)

"Since you haven't followed me yet, I can't reveal the plan to you casually. However, I can share a little bit about the plan after it's realized."

"After unification, I plan to integrate the ninja system with science and technology to develop a technology that enables high-speed cultivation."

"Using the appropriate technology, we continuously built roads centered on the capital to strengthen connections between different regions."

"These roads also enabled the exchange of goods between different regions, allowing relatively impoverished areas to receive abundant supplies, and ensuring that everyone could have enough to eat and wear."

"Of course, relying solely on national and private allocations has its limitations. The best approach is to enrich impoverished areas."

"My approach is to combine the ninjutsu system with the scientific system, such as researching the most suitable food crops and cash crops for the local area."

"For example, improving the living environment in impoverished areas."

"Places like the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind can grow many trees, and Wood Release is a very good solution."

"Of course, fundamentally changing the environment of the barren land is a long process, and even if the First Hokage's Wood Release were reproduced, it would not be possible to do so in a short time."

"I also plan to change the way talent is selected and recruited."

"Nowadays, the rulers of various countries and towns are either of noble birth or dependents of nobles."

"Ordinary people have absolutely no chance to rise up."

"I plan to build more schools to strengthen basic education for ordinary people and select those who have been overlooked through examinations."

"However, the above plans are secondary. My most important plan is to establish a country with ninjas as the core of its rule."

"I think the root of all the tragedies in the ninja world is that the status of ninjas is too low."

"Because ninjas are tools for missions, and tools don't need their own will, that's why so many tragedies happen."

"If ninjas had the status and position of nobles, would so many tragedies still occur?"

"Although most ninjas only know how to fight and kill and do not have the talent to manage a country, it doesn't matter."

"Who is born with the talent to govern a country?"

"We can learn gradually. In the initial stage, we can use ordinary people who know how to manage a country to fill in."

"As time goes by and with corresponding learning, more and more talented people will inevitably emerge among the ninjas."

"At that time, the new nation will be governed by a system led by new-era ninjas and assisted by ordinary people."

"These are all my plans, but my wisdom is limited. In the future, I will gather the wisdom of many to devise strategies for the new country."

"I believe that as long as the hidden dangers of unrest are eliminated, such as those who are unwilling to see the country and the ninja village disappear, we can achieve our goal."

"The founders of the new nation, along with their followers, worked together with one heart and one mind to create a life that was more prosperous and comfortable than before."

"I believe the world will be at peace for a very, very long time."

"If we can ensure that there is no internal strife among the ninjas who are the main rulers, then I believe peace can last forever!"

By the end, Uchiha Gen was excited, his voice was loud, and his tone was filled with a seductive fanaticism!

He wasn't joking. If there were no internal strife among the ninjas, even a large-scale rebellion by ordinary people wouldn't destroy the new country.

Leaving aside the various methods used by ninjas, their transformation techniques alone were enough to completely destroy the rebels' organizational capacity.

Without organizational capacity, a rebellion is simply impossible to succeed!

The common people of this world have rebelled against the rule of the nobles before, but no matter how large the rebellion was, it was easily quelled by the ninjas.

Perhaps for ordinary people, this world is even more hopeless than that of ninjas!

The three were all very excited upon hearing this, but for different reasons.

Juzo Biwa and Kisame Hoshigaki did so because they truly saw the dawn of peace and vaguely envisioned the wonderful life that would follow.

Suigetsu Hozuki has a certain yearning for peace, but he is mainly excited about his bright future.

If a new country is really established, wouldn't he be a founding father and a founding father of the village?

How much power, how much wealth, how wonderful life would one have to gain?

Just thinking about it is incredibly exciting.

Seeing the change in their expressions, Uchiha Gen extended one hand and smiled, saying, "You two..."

"Would you be willing to join me in creating this unprecedented and unparalleled dream?"

"With you all here, if the goal is achieved, Kirigakure will be treated well."

Juzo Biwa and Kisame Hoshigaki exchanged a glance, then knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, sir!"

Although realizing the dream of one village per country in the world is extremely difficult, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they are willing to risk their lives for it!

Uchiha Gen laughed upon seeing this.

His persuasive skills were quite good; he convinced them without even using the Heavenly Mandate ability.

"Great, from now on we're on the same side. Get up."

Upon hearing this, Juzo Biwa and Kisame Hoshigaki stood up respectfully.

"There are some things I need to say upfront."

"You all know how sensitive my target is; once exposed, it will basically make me an enemy of the world."

"so……"

Kisame Hoshigaki interrupted rudely, "My lord, I am willing to be bound by the restrictions."

Kisame Hoshigaki, who came from the Hidden Mist Anbu, was very familiar with this approach, so he thoughtfully brought it up.

"I am also willing to be bound by the restrictions," said Pipa Juzo immediately after hearing this.

Uchiha Gen gave the two of them an appreciative look, then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need for restrictions."

"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust. I believe you would never reveal this, even if it meant your lives."

Juzo Biwa and Kisame Hoshigaki were deeply moved upon hearing this.

Suigetsu Hozuki knew Uchiha Gen's character and didn't want to be the only one with a sword hanging over his head, so he spoke up.

"My lord, just to be on the safe side, we should still keep some tricks up our sleeve."

"It's better to be safe than sorry. If the news really leaks out, you might not even be able to find him..."

"Traitors deserve to die!"

Uchiha Gen glanced at Suigetsu Hozuki with displeasure and said in a deep voice, "Stop talking nonsense. I believe them."

"You believe them, but not me?"

"You've also left some tricks on me, so we can't be biased. Besides, I was here first."

Indeed, I don't quite trust you; you have absolutely no ninja integrity.

Although Uchiha Gensou thought this way, a troubled expression appeared on his face...

Seeing this, the understanding Kisame Hoshigaki quickly said, "Thank you for your trust, sir, but please treat everyone equally."

"Just do what you're supposed to do, otherwise Lord Pufferfish Demon will be unhappy with us."

Pipa Juzo also chimed in in agreement.

Neither of them were fools; they both saw the coordinated effort and realized that some tactics were indeed needed in the early stages to truly build trust.

Uchiha Gen sighed, half-jokingly, and said, "Well, alright, then I'll hold back a few tricks."

"You two come here."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately walked over and stopped three steps in front of Uchiha Genzo.

Uchiha Gen took two steps, then reached out his right hand and pressed it on the back of the two men's necks.

"alright."

Is this over?

Juzo Biwa and Kisame Hoshigaki looked at each other, feeling that this was not very reliable.

"The master has left spatial markers for the Flying Thunder God Technique on you. As long as you are in this world, you will be able to be sensed no matter where you are!"

"Feeling better now, Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon smiled and offered an explanation."

The two were taken aback upon hearing this...
