When it comes to serious matters, Karin immediately gets into the zone, pushes up her black-rimmed glasses, and replies very seriously.

"However, so far, apart from the Land of Grass and the Land of Waterfall, only the daimyo of the smaller countries have replied that they will definitely attend on time, but none of the daimyo of the five great countries have given a clear answer yet!"

Chapter 586 The Arrival of the Gathering of Nations

A unified ninja world structure.

If you include the various small ninja villages and the Land of Iron, as well as some wandering ninja forces that have been incorporated into the army and will be fully integrated in the future, Menma's forces are already close to 100,000.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the world has a very large population.

However, the number of people who can master this special power called chakra is ultimately a small percentage.

The progenitor of chakra on this planet is the goddess of the Rabbit, while the one who enabled more people to refine chakra was Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the founder of the Ninja Clan. Even so, those who can refine chakra are still a very small minority.

A possessor of 100,000 chakra.

That is the greatest power in the world.

The high-ranking nobles and dignitaries of governments around the world were naturally very concerned. When the results of the final battle at the Valley of the End spread around the world, the nobles were the ones who suffered the most. In the past, at least due to the checks and balances and the suppression of traditional ideas, the daimyo and nobles could be ranked above the ninjas. Even if it was just nominal suppression, it still allowed the nobles to enjoy an extraordinary life.

But what about now?

If the power of ninjas is concentrated in one ninja village and one person, will the world order remain the same as before?! Even a child could guess that it's absolutely impossible.

Status and power.

These hereditary nobles, whose lineage has lasted for hundreds of years or even longer, are absolutely unwilling to see their family's interests lost in their generation.

therefore.

During that period of time in the past.

They were constantly thinking about how to prevent the worst from happening.

The various alliances and counter-alliances were simply too fascinating.

Under Karin's arrangement, the Hidden Light Village was fully aware of these subtle actions, but they did not take any countermeasures because Menma felt it was completely unnecessary; the difference in strength was so obvious.

The gap is just that huge.

If you're going to strip someone of their status and power, are you not allowed to resist?

There is no such logic in the world.

Not to mention that they are only plotting and haven't taken any actual action yet. They are all people who can be easily suppressed with the slightest movement of a finger. Menma can relax and watch their actions.

To put it in a darker way...

Menma even hoped that these nobles would lose their minds and rebel, because that would give him a more legitimate reason to eliminate these parasites in the country. Of course, Menma wasn't naive enough to think that the country would necessarily achieve its most perfect form under his rule; that was impossible. Menma had truly seen through the nature of human beings.

In any world.

There is no such thing as a perfect, ideal country.

Water that is too clear has no fish!

What Mianma needs to do is to control this scope as much as possible, keep the whole country in a relatively fair and just state, and allow the vast majority of people to live and work in peace and contentment.

The more ruthless these people are, the more people they can gather, and the more people Mianma can take the opportunity to eliminate. The extra land and assets can then be used by Mianma to better manage the lives of the people.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. Let them be. They will all come. During this time, you don't need to do much. Just keep an eye on their actions. Although they are just some insects, they may do things beyond our imagination."

Mianma placed his hands on the table with a smile and said.

"Yes, I understand, don't worry, Mianma."

Karin nodded emphatically in reply.

This work began long ago. The battle at the Valley of the End shattered the last glimmer of hope for the various ninja villages. For Menma's men, the victory in that war was beyond doubt, requiring no wavering or doubt. The only difference was how many people would die.

At most, the Hidden Light Village would only make minor adjustments to their plans based on the outcome of this war.

No changes to the entire plan are required.

Therefore, Karin has a very good grasp of the progress in all aspects. Other countries are just getting started, and we need to see their subsequent attitudes and reactions to make different judgments.

However, in the Land of Waterfalls and the Land of Grass, all internal problems have been successfully resolved.

Those nobles who disobeyed orders and even tried to make underhanded moves, attempting to betray information about Hidden Light Village during the previous great battle, have all been dealt with.

Upon seeing this blatant warning, both countries' leaders chose to cooperate fully.

The changes in the system began with the two countries.

Menma had previously considered starting with the integration of the two countries, but later, due to the rapid progress of the ninja world and the rapid increase in his own strength, and with all enemies defeated, there was no need for any pilot projects or small-scale integrations. It was better to be more assertive and merge all the countries into one. There were many examples of this in Menma's previous life.

Federation, Parliament.

This is the option that Menma currently considers relatively good. It is also the most suitable approach that he has considered after much deliberation. Of course, he believes that the system of the country where he lived in his previous life is the better one.

But we must also take into account the unique characteristics of this world.

You have to walk one step at a time, and you have to eat one bite at a time. Don't rush, and definitely don't do anything reckless.

What needs to be done now is to bring everything under one country, including the ninja villages. Menma is determined to resolve the situation where the ninja villages and the country are relatively independent, as that is not conducive to unification and stability.

As for what kind of relationship it should be, Mianma has given it some initial consideration, but it may not be finalized yet. This requires brainstorming and depends on the actual situation.

That's the current situation for now.

As for whether there will be any other problems.

That's not something we can foresee right now. We have to take it one step at a time, feeling our way across the river. To put it bluntly, it's true that Mianma is confident, but it's also true that he has almost no experience.

Mianma doesn't truly believe that all the judgments he makes, all the policies he implements, and all the new orders he establishes are correct. Continuous adaptation, adjustment, and development are the normal and healthy rhythm.

The few days passed quickly.

The daimyo of the various small countries who had agreed to attend the meeting in advance had all arrived at Koukin Village two or three days ahead of time.

Menma had also prepared accommodations for these daimyo in advance. They weren't particularly luxurious, but they were certainly well-equipped. At this point, Kogakure could be considered to have the world's wealth.

Building some slightly higher-standard residences is no problem at all.

Moreover, this thing wasn't just used once and then sealed away. While Menma certainly intended to control and reduce the number of nobles and politicians in various countries, he would still leave behind a group of people with relatively clean family and personal histories who were obedient.

These people will likely continue to hold relatively important positions in the new country for at least the next ten or even twenty years. It's simply unrealistic for Menma to replace everyone all at once.

In this respect, Menma's thoughts are very clear.

He won't do anything impulsively that could have endless consequences or even lead to the collapse of the situation.

Passion is certainly a positive term.

However, the least desirable quality for a leader of a power is passion, or rather, a leader's passion must be suppressed on many occasions.

This way, you won't be prevented from making a rational judgment.

This is especially true in matters of national importance, involving high-ranking nobles and political figures from various countries.

As long as they all possessed a high status, position, and considerable power, Menma had already arranged for Karin to collect the most detailed information before dividing them into different modules.

At the very bottom of the list are naturally those utterly wicked nobles who have always oppressed ordinary people in their own country, perfectly embodying the tragic state of "the rich feasting while the poor freeze to death." All of them have been marked with a big X by Mianma. The country cannot be stable without these people being killed.

Such nobles already constitute a considerable portion of the population; after all, in such a world, expecting nobles to have a conscience is harder than climbing to heaven.

Next are the nobles of the second tier. They haven't committed any heinous crimes, but they're not exactly respectable people either. They also hold considerable interests. If these people are sensible and cooperate with the work of Hidden Light Village and obey all the orders given by Menma, then at least their lives can be saved. They can forget about their status and power, and they can retain some wealth. How to retain it and how to distribute it will depend on the actual situation.

Then there are the nobles of the third rank.

They are the fewest in number, but they are nobles who have a certain good reputation in various countries. Regardless of whether it is fake or obtained through some channel, as long as they are nobles who have not harmed the people, Menma will leave them a considerable amount of leeway.

A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions.

Such a nobleman is already a good nobleman; whether he is sincere or not is meaningless.

Only such nobles and politicians can occupy a relatively important position in the blueprint for the future of the country.

There was no problem taking a sip of soup afterwards.

Mianma cannot be a saint, nor is it possible for him to be one. This world is inherently complex, and it is impossible to see through a single truth.

Therefore, the criteria for judging facial pockmarks must be multifaceted.

Nowadays.

These early arrivals were clearly due to the willingness of various daimyo to cooperate, and Menma had to show them a certain degree of leniency.

Their identities dictated that Menma couldn't be dealt with casually, especially since they were already willing to cooperate.

We definitely need to leave something for them.

Whether it's status, power, or related interests.

The choice between noodles and sesame seeds should be carefully considered.

However, these are all relatively small countries, so they are actually quite easy to deal with, except for the five major powers.

That's the most difficult one.

The power they wield is far beyond what these small countries can match, and the interests involved are an astounding figure.

But no matter what, it needs to be dealt with immediately; the longer it's delayed, the worse it will be.

The leaders of the five countries were well aware of this, so although their replies were a little late, they all agreed to attend the meeting in the end, and they had clearly made prior arrangements to arrive at the same time on the morning of the last day.

Menma, who had already received the news, led Karin and the others to the main gate of the ninja village to greet them.

The daimyo and nobles from the smaller countries only needed to be greeted by Wuwei, Karin, and others. Now, the daimyo from the five great nations are coming. Even though their status will change drastically after today, as long as they cooperate, the daimyo from the five great nations will still occupy a very important position in Menma's future national plans. Therefore, it is only right and proper for Menma to personally greet them, as this is a matter of basic etiquette.

Five magnificent carriages arrived in perfect order, and came to a steady stop at the main gate of the ninja village.

"Squeak!"

The doors were pushed open one after the other.

Attended by several servants.

Five middle-aged men, dressed in splendid attire and clearly exuding an air of nobility, stepped down from the carriage in unison.

The moment I saw the five people.

Mianma immediately stepped forward with a smile.
