Shirou's clones number 30 million

The three people she chose were all girls with exceptional looks and temperament.

Two of them were from the Uchiha clan; one was the daughter of an ordinary Chunin, and the other was the daughter of an elder.

I wasn't selected?

Itachi Uchiha looked bewildered, his heart filled with confusion.

In terms of strength, none of his peers in the clan could match him.

But it seems that the selection was not based on ability.

"Wait a minute!" Mei Terumi stepped forward quickly, asking in surprise, "It's already decided? Isn't there going to be a competition?"

"No need, I've already made my choice," Kaguya Otsutsuki said calmly.

"But you chose two members of the Uchiha clan, isn't that... a bit inappropriate?"

"that's it."

"But..."

"I am the captain!"

Mei Terumi was speechless for a long time before finally asking:

"May I ask about your selection criteria?"

"appearance."

"Is that really how it is? For ninjas, strength is the most important thing. Although appearance is also important, if you are not strong enough, you will only get yourself killed on the battlefield."

"I can teach them."

Didn't you say last night that you weren't good at teaching?

"I know how now."

How could that be?

“Last night, I read a book and then I learned it.”

"Fine... Well, you're the captain, after all."

Deep down, Mei Terumi actually quite likes these three team members.

Or rather, she had considered recruiting team members using such standards, but reason told her that it would harm both herself and others.

What are your names?

"Captain Terumi, my name is... Uchiha Aoi, I am 7 years old, I haven't awakened my Sharingan yet, and I am good at... good at throwing kunai."

Mei Terumi seemed to be deep in thought. It seemed that this girl came from an ordinary family, had average talent, and had not yet learned ninjutsu.

"What about you?"

“Uchiha Ayane is 8 years old this year. She has not yet awakened her Sharingan, but she can use two Fire Release ninjutsu.”

It seems this person comes from a good background.

Well... you can tell just by looking at their shiny clothes.

However, their talent is clearly not that great.

And you? What's your name?

"Sister Mei, my name is Hozuki Rino. I am 8 years old. I have only recently refined my chakra and have not yet started learning ninjutsu."

"It's okay, don't be afraid, we'll take it slowly from now on."

Terumi Mei sighed inwardly. Was this kind of personnel selection a joke?

These three girls clearly have no ninja talent whatsoever. I'd like to see how you plan to teach them.

Chapter 457 Isn't this just a natural progression?

Chapter 457, Section 458: Isn't this just a natural progression?

Several days later, in the morning, in the Mizukage's office.

"Enough! I've had enough of these childish tasks. There's no need for them at all!"

Since most of the team members are newcomers to Kirigakure, the Otsutsuki Kaguya squad, at the suggestion of the Mizukage Shirou, has been trying to integrate into Kirigakure by completing missions over the past few days.

However, since the three children in the team are all genin who have just become ninjas, the missions they can take on are naturally all D-rank missions that take place within the village.

Help with childcare, cleaning, pruning branches, etc.

"The main purpose of a D-rank mission is to help genin establish teamwork as quickly as possible, and to give them a buffer period to learn ninjutsu."

Originally, Kirigakure did not have the D-rank mission category. This rank of missions was added after Shirou became the Mizukage.

"C-rank missions allow you to leave the village; they're either escort missions or missions to eliminate bandits. Are you sure your team members are ready to accept C-rank missions?"

"No, I want to take on a higher-level mission."

"You're definitely fine with it, but are you sure the other three can handle it?"

"Of course! Under my tutelage, they have been completely transformed."

"You're just forcing things to grow too fast. In that case, I'll give you a B-level mission."

Shirou rummaged through the pile of documents on the table for a while and quickly found a suitable task.

"This is a very flexible task, ranging from a minimum of B-level to a maximum of S-level. What do you think?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki took the mission sheet, glanced at it, and said thoughtfully, "..."

"Humans are such filthy creatures."

"You know, this is war, so naturally you'll stop at nothing to stop it."

"Is this considered war?"

"Of course! Real combat is only one type of war. Intelligence warfare, espionage, and economic warfare are all part of war."

Not long ago, the portal opened, and Kurokawa Shiro provided Mizukage Shiro with a number of talented individuals.

The intelligence specialists among them were naturally dispatched to other countries immediately.

Some went to the four major countries, while others went to develop in some smaller neighboring countries.

The Land of Waves has no ninjas, its economy is poor, and the people live in misery.

But daimyo are an exception. Even in a small country, the ruler can still sing and dance all day long.

After being dispatched to the Land of Waves, Shinsuke Yamada gathered the relevant information and immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

He made a decisive move, shaved his head, and began preaching as a monk.

The idea of ​​being reborn in the Pure Land and placing all hope in the afterlife is very popular among the poor.

In just a few days, the belief in being reborn in paradise became the guiding principle throughout the Land of Waves, and people sincerely hoped that they could be reborn into a good family in their next life.

Of course, Shinsuke Yamada's purpose was not to help Buddhism spread its faith.

Last night, he rallied his followers to break down the door of a dishonest rice merchant's shop, looted all the rice inside, and distributed it all to everyone.

They claimed that this was a revelation from the Buddha.

The rice merchant smashed the Buddha statue, which angered the Buddha, who then ordered him to lead the believers to send the statue to the Pure Land. The Buddha himself was to punish the rice merchant.

Some ignorant people believed his claims, while some believers understood the truth but were happy to see it happen.

In short, everyone applauded, except for Daimyo, who was extremely dissatisfied.

So, Shinsuke Yamada sent a letter to Kirigakure, claiming that it was time to wrap things up.

Next, all they need to do is execute him in the name of the daimyo and then forcibly take back the rice distributed to the people.

Afterwards, having the ninja briefly demonstrate the Buddha's new revelations will naturally turn the enraged populace into a powder keg, leading to the complete overthrow of the Daimyo family of the Land of Waves.

When Kaguya Otsutsuki's team arrived in the Land of Waves, the plan was nearing its end.

At this moment, in a dilapidated temple, Shinsuke Yamada, dressed in a white kasaya, clasped his hands together and silently recited scriptures, displaying the demeanor of a master.

At the temple gate, poorly dressed believers were confronting the well-dressed subordinates of the daimyo.

"Amitabha..."

Why haven't those people broken in yet?

The next step in the plan was to get himself captured, but the daimyo's subordinates couldn't break in, so he couldn't just go out and offer himself up for execution.

Speaking of which, the daimyo is so rich, yet he didn't hire any ninjas. Is he just unwilling to spend the money?

Or are you saying that since we don't have any ninjas on our side, you think your subordinates are enough?

Suddenly, the noise outside stopped and everything became quiet.

Realizing that something had happened, Shinsuke Yamada slowly got up and walked outside.

The moment he stepped out of the temple gate, he froze on the spot.

At this moment, whether they were believers or subordinates of the daimyo, they all lay motionless on the ground, their fate unknown.

The only people standing were a few women and girls with exceptionally high looks.

Mei Terumi, the wife of his highest-ranking boss, was someone he could certainly recognize.

The other adult woman made him involuntarily gasp in surprise.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki!"

"Oh...? You actually know my name. So, you're the one I'm protecting this time?"

"Yes...that's right."

Shinsuke Yamada looked bewildered, unconsciously recalling the words Shirou Kurokawa had spoken not long ago.

I stumbled upon another world, and after discovering that its plot was almost identical to that of a certain manga, I immediately took action.

Now, I have become the Mizukage in that world. You all go there and help me. Our goal is to unify the world.

To this end, Shinsuke Yamada read the Naruto manga twice without sleep, and became very familiar with all the characters who appeared in it.

He wasn't surprised that his superior had become the Mizukage, and he was convinced that the reason the other party was able to be elected prime minister must be because he had gained a lot of benefits in this world.
