"It's me." A somewhat familiar female voice came from outside the door.

The door to the Red General opened a crack, and there stood Nadeshiko Saori, holding some clothes in her hands: "Saori-sama, it's you!"

Saori said, "You're awake. Come inside and let's talk. Also, these are your new clothes. Change into them first..."

After welcoming Saori into the house, Kurenai changed into the clothes Saori had brought her, wearing an Akagami Village ninja uniform over her clothes. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself; it fit perfectly.

Saori, who had been observing Kurenai, asked curiously, "Kurenai, do you remember what happened before?"

"What happened before?" Hong turned around and asked, "What happened before?"

Saori thought to herself: She really forgot... That makes sense, it's Lord Yu's pupil technique.

She said seriously, "You were attacked by the enemy while you were on a mission, but it just so happened that Lord Shadow happened to be passing by and rescued you."

"I see? Wait, what about my clothes..."

"Don't worry, I helped you change your clothes, but that coat is Lord Shadow's coat..."

"Oh! Is that so!" Red picked up the black coat from the bed: "Then... could you please return this coat to Lord Shadow?"

Saori said, "It's not right to give him back the clothes you wore while you were naked..."

Her pretty face flushed crimson in an instant: "This, this is something I didn't consider carefully. Then, what should we do?"

Saori said, "Keep it as a souvenir..."

"Mm." Hong nodded and put the black coat away.

"Also, from today onwards, this will be your living quarters..."

"By the way, where did I used to live?"

"Because you arrived later, and housing was scarce at the time, you could only be temporarily placed in a small inn. Don't worry about these trivial matters. Come with me to see Lord Shadow. He will personally explain your future mission arrangements to you..."

The yarn is of the correct color.

"Well, I see."

Red followed behind Saori as they walked towards the Shadow Mansion.

Saori thought to herself: In the six months she's been in the village, her interpersonal relationships have been very simple; she's hardly interacted with anyone else. That's actually quite convenient for me, since almost no one knows where she comes from…

As she passed an open space, Hong subconsciously stopped and stared at it with a slightly dazed look.

Saori turned around and urged, "What's wrong? Aren't you leaving?"

"Oh! Okay!" Hong snapped out of her daze, quickly agreed, and followed.

That vacant lot was the site of the Hinatsuru Hotel, which was demolished overnight...

Chapter 376 Bright and Kind Eyes!

The office door opened, and Saori led Kurenai in: "Lord Shadow, Kurenai has arrived."

"Oh." Lin Yu turned his chair around, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and stared intently at Hong. Seeing that her expression was normal, he felt genuinely pleased. Then, without making a sound, he said, "Thank you for your hard work on this mission, Hong."

"It's alright," Hongxin thought: Although I can't even remember what mission I was on...

“Red, I have a glorious but arduous mission to entrust to you.”

"mission?"

"Yes... Our village's ninja academy has 47 teachers who teach year-round. They have accumulated a wealth of teaching experience in taijutsu and ninjutsu, but they are not good at genjutsu."

"Therefore, the children in my village who are skilled in genjutsu are very likely to be overlooked and buried during their time at the ninja academy due to a lack of proper training... Kurenai, can you help me solve this problem?"

Lin Yu stared intently at Hong.

Hong said, "Do you want me to be a teacher at the ninja academy?"

Lin Yu flicked his cigarette ash and looked up, saying, "Actually, with your abilities, you could easily be a teacher or even a principal. However... the area of ​​genjutsu enlightenment has always been a major weakness of our village. I want you to become the master genjutsu teacher of Ankugakure. When our village has more genjutsu ninjas in the future, we will arrange a better position for you."

"..." Hong stared at Lin Yu in a daze, without saying a word.

At this moment, Saori said, "Kurenai, don't think that this job is too easy and that it makes it seem like Lord Shadow doesn't value you. Do you know that when the village was first established and medical resources were scarce, Shadow's wife, Yuhi, worked in the hospital for more than a year? You took on this task during this special historical period, which is enough to show that Shadow trusts you!"

Hong shook her head and said, "No, I didn't think that. I, I just..."

She was just momentarily captivated by the way Lin Yu smoked, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Saori said, "Alright, since you don't think that way, are you accepting this task?"

Hong thought for a moment and nodded, "Hmm... as long as I stay at the ninja academy every day and teach the children genjutsu, that should be enough, right?"

Lin Yu said, "Yes, when there are classes, you teach them. When there are no classes, you are free to do whatever you want. As long as you are in this village, you can go wherever you want..."

Saori chimed in, "Yes, in the village, there aren't many good jobs like this... More importantly, teaching and nurturing students is of great significance!"

"And... what about outside the village?" Hong asked.

“Well, if you want to leave the village, just say hello to Lord Shadow, and he'll arrange for someone to accompany you!” Saori said, adding, “Of course, this is for your safety; you're one of the top illusionists in the village!”

Although Hong felt something was off, she still said, "Yes, I understand..."

Saori said, "Then I'll take you to the ninja academy."

Hong said, "No need, I've been in the village for half a year now, I know how to get there..."

Saori nodded: "That's good... Principal Tobi of the Ninja Academy is going out of the village for an inspection. I've already spoken to Director Number 1 of the Academic Affairs Office. You can just go directly there."

"Hmm." Hong nodded, gave Lin Yu a special look, and then turned to leave.

Lin Yu stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray: "That way, she should be able to stay away from the outside conflicts..."

Killing a daimyo is no small matter... A daimyo is the pillar of a country. Even in a small country like the Land of Darkness, the population is in the millions, which is hundreds of times the number of ninjas in the Hidden Shadow Village. No matter how strong Lin Yu is, he cannot use Kotoamatsukami on all of these millions of people. Therefore, sending Red Infrared on this mission is extremely dangerous.

Saori carefully poured a cup of lung-cleansing tea and said, "But living in seclusion for too long is not a solution..."

"There's always a way out. Once our ninja kingdom is established, there won't be so many problems." Lin Yu put down his teacup, got up, and walked out.

The finance office of Dark Hidden Village was brightly decorated at this moment.

Lin Yu laughed and said, "Kakuzu, it's rare to see you actually willing to decorate your house."

"Ah, that daimyo is dead. I'm just short of setting off fireworks to celebrate." With that, Kakuzu put down his pen, stretched his back, and pointed behind him, saying, "When are we going to find this guy some work? This isn't a pigsty..."

Lin Yu glanced at Hidan, who was fast asleep on the small bed. Nine out of ten times he came over, Hidan was sleeping soundly. Ever since the first generation of the Heavenly Team (Itachi, Yugao, Hidan) disbanded, Hidan had become a freelancer.

Kakuzu wasn't really disgusted by Hidan's freeloading, but he was afraid that if Hidan continued like this, he would lose his sharpness as a ninja, which would be detrimental to him... just like the feelings of parents towards their children.

"Ah, half of the reason I came here is for Hidan." Lin Yu said, as a bottle slid down from his sleeve, containing a pair of blood-red eyes.

Kakuzu's dark green eyes narrowed: "Hmm? This is..."

Lin Yu said, "The Blood Dragon Eye comes from a man named Blood Pool City Flame."

These eyes were dug out of the head of Cheng Yan after Itachi killed him with Tenbobi no Mi... Itachi seemed to know that Lin Yu had an interest in collecting powerful eyes.

At that time, Itachi told Lin Yu that Cheng Yan's strength was extraordinary. If Cheng Yan hadn't been observing from the rear to confirm his strength at the beginning, he wouldn't have been killed by him with the Heavenly Bodhi Life.

"In terms of raw power, Cheng Yan may be above me at this moment." These are Itachi's original words.

Therefore, Cheng Yan's Blood Dragon Eyes must be extraordinary, and it would be a real pity to waste them. After thinking it over, the most suitable person to possess these eyes is no one but Hidan.

Kakuzu said, "The Blood Dragon Eye has a perception second only to the Byakugan and Sharingan, and its genjutsu power is comparable to the Mangekyou Sharingan. It should be able to make up for this guy's weakness in genjutsu. In addition, the manipulation of blood is a disgusting match for his 'Death Possession Blood'!"

"That's how it is... With these eyes, he might become a true 'evil god,' who knows?"

"I think it's not an evil god... but a demon!"

Should we wake him up?

“No need, let me perform the transplant myself…” Kakuzu said.

"That would be perfect." Lin Yu gave the Blood Dragon Eye to Kakuzu.

The horn rolled up his sleeves and walked to the bedside.

"Aaaaaaah, my eyes, my eyes!!!" Hidan cried out, thrashing about.

"Don't move around, or your optic nerve will rip out your already small brain!" Kakuzu plopped down on Hidan.

"The immortal duo, they have such a good relationship..." Lin Yu leaned against the door frame, smiling with emotion.

After helping Hidan transplant the Blood Dragon Eye, Kakuzu washed the blood off his hands in a copper basin, shook them off, and said seriously, "So, Shadow, what is your purpose in coming to find my other half this time?"

Lin Yu said with a deep gaze, "Ah... while the daimyo is dead and the Dark Kingdom is in turmoil, it's time to start working on establishing our ninja kingdom."

Chapter 377 A Great Wind Rises!

The leap from a ninja village to a ninja nation is unprecedented throughout history.

Kaguya once ruled the world single-handedly. At that time, ninjas had not yet been born. Kaguya was a god, not a ninja.

The Sage of Six Paths founded the Ninja Cult, which was a religious sect, not a kingdom.

The Kage, as the head of one of the five great ninja villages, is still under the rule of the Daimyo because the ninja's survival supplies need to be provided by the state.

If ninjas can solve their own survival needs, they won't need to rely on anyone, and their combat strength gives them the ability to protect themselves...

Lin Yu wants to establish the first ninja nation in the ninja world!

Since it is a country, it must have its own citizens. It is impossible for everyone to be equal. There are different classes of people!

Even in a ninja kingdom, it's impossible for everyone to be a ninja; it's just a giant ninja village!

However, in the Ninja Kingdom, ninjas are no longer tools or mercenaries, but have become the upper class, or to put it bluntly, nobles!

When we talk about nobles, we easily think of the slave society ruled by nobles in the Middle Ages.

However, in the ninja kingdom that Lin Yu wants to establish, there are nobles, but no slaves... The common people who depend on the ninja kingdom will not be discriminated against or oppressed, but will be properly settled!

After all, even if ninjas can be self-sufficient, their resources are still limited, and no one dislikes things that add to their already stellar lives!

“To establish a nation, you need to win the hearts of the people, and winning the hearts of the people is not as simple as saying a few nice words. It requires money, right…” Kakuzu said.

It's so pleasant to talk to smart people.

Lin Yu said, "Yes, so we might have to spend a lot of money in the next period of time."

Kakuzu said, "Submit the required funds. As long as I think it's reasonable and will yield sufficient returns, I will approve it."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "With your words, I'm relieved..."
