Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Lin Yu shook his head: "Yes, not at all..."

Hashirama said worriedly, "But... what if some ninjas take advantage of their noble status to oppress commoners?"

Lin Yu said, "Commoners simply lack a voice, not human rights. I will formulate laws and establish penalties to severely punish ninjas who engage in such behavior!"

"I see, but..." Hashirama wanted to say something more.

“Big brother.” But Tobirama placed his hand on his shoulder and shook his head.

Hashirama said, "I understand... Xiaoyu, I just hope you can treat ordinary people kindly!"

Lin Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, one of the things I despise the most is using your ninja status to bully innocent civilians!"

With that, Hashirama was relieved.

At this moment, Tobirama said, "In the Ninja Country, ninjas are nobles, and among nobles, there must be different ranks..."

Lin Yu laughed and said, "Ah, that's what I'm going to talk about next!"

Just like in the past, ninjas were subordinate to powerful nations.

In the Ninja Kingdom, ordinary people are merely accessories and subordinates; here, ninjas reign supreme!

Chapter 381 Guochang Lizun!

"The children of the Dark Hidden Kingdom are granted the title of knight and become nobles from the moment they officially become ninjas!"

"Afterwards, you will perform tasks and accumulate contribution points. Once your contribution points reach a certain level, you will be granted a title."

"Below the royal family, there are five ranks of nobility: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron."

"Title determines treatment. The difference in treatment between a baron and a viscount is mainly reflected in income, while an earl can own his own city..."

Tobirama interrupted Lin Yu: "Isn't this just dispersing authority?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Loyalty is also one of the criteria for granting titles, while power is always the highest authority. Therefore, I am not afraid of the decentralization of authority. Decentralization is only for the purpose of better governing this country. After all, governing a country and governing a village are completely different concepts..."

Tobirama said, "Although the Dark Ninja Kingdom has been established, we currently only have 150 square kilometers of land, which is far too meager for a nation."

Lin Yu nodded: "That's right. So, the first major thing we need to do is expand our territory. Please take a look..."

Wow!

On the wall behind the throne, a large map of the ninja world slowly descended, with a piece of land already marked in vermilion on it!

That piece of land, which is only the size of a quail egg on this map, is now the Dark Ninja Kingdom, which covers an area of ​​150 square kilometers!

Lin Yu stood up and fenced off a piece of land 400 times the size of the quail egg to the north.

"Our Dark Ninja Kingdom is bordered by the Dark Kingdom to the north. To the south of the Dark Kingdom's territory lies a vast uninhabited area consisting of deserts and forests, covering approximately 60,000 square kilometers, accounting for nearly 40% of the Dark Kingdom's total land area! I intend to forcibly seize this land and develop it into a city!"

Hashirama exclaimed in surprise, "Forced possession? Are you serious?"

"Hehe, that bigwig took nearly 1500 billion taels of silver from me in the first half of the year. It's time for him to pay back his debt, but I don't need the money anymore, so I'll use land to pay it back!"

Lin Yu smiled and looked at the table beneath him: "Saori."

Saori replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lin Yu handed four kunai inscribed with the Kamui dynamic mark, along with four scrolls marked with locations, to Saori, and instructed, "Select four teams composed of former Dark Shadow Jonin and place the kunai at the four locations recorded on the scrolls."

"Understood, I'll get on it right away!" Saori stood up, leaving a trail of fragrance as she gracefully walked out. In less than ten minutes, she had made the arrangements and returned.

Lin Yu said, "Once the kunai arrive, I will use a super-large barrier to enclose this land and incorporate it into the territory of my Dark Ninja Kingdom!"

Tobirama chuckled, "Overbearing, but I like it..."

Lin Yu continued to mark a large area around the quail egg, and loudly proclaimed, "Besides the Land of Darkness to the north, our Dark Ninja Kingdom is bordered by four countries: the Land of Grass to the southwest, the Land of Earth to the west, the Land of Fire to the south, and the Land of Frost to the east!"

"And coincidentally, there are large tracts of undeveloped land along the borders of these four countries, totaling nearly 12 square kilometers!"

"I plan to negotiate with these four countries to buy this 12 square kilometers of land. Adding it to the 6 square kilometers we forcibly seized before, our Dark Ninja Kingdom will then possess 18 square kilometers of territory!"

With a territory of 18 square kilometers, it may not be considered a behemoth on this ninja world map, but it is still a force to be reckoned with!

It is not as powerful as the Five Great Nations, but it has already surpassed the original Dark Kingdom!

Tobirama said, "Land is not an ordinary resource; it will be extremely difficult for you to acquire it..."

Lin Yu laughed and said, "Hehe, they can ask for a high price, but they can't refuse to sell. We want to show the world that no one can stop our rise!"

Paying money to buy things can avoid unnecessary disputes, because disputes inevitably involve sacrifices, and avoiding disputes is the meaning of wealth!

"I have named this 150 square kilometers of land formerly under the jurisdiction of the Dark Hidden Village 'Feather Emperor City,' which will become the capital of the Dark Hidden Ninja Kingdom!"

"Furthermore, I plan to build two 'first-class cities' on the 6 square kilometers of land that was forcibly requisitioned in the early stages!"

"A first-class city?"

"Based on the size and strategic significance of the city, it is divided into four levels... First-class, first-class, second-class, and third-class. First-class cities are the territory of dukes! Second-class cities are the territory of marquises, and third-class cities are the territory of earls. However, second-class and third-class cities exist as subordinate cities of first-class cities."

Tobirama said, "Hmm, looking at it this way, the Duke's authority is truly quite extensive!"

Lin Yu said, "Great authority means great responsibility. Their mission is to help me govern this country well!"

Mito said, "Yu'er, since you have decided to build two first-class cities, you must already have plans to confer the title of duke."

Lin Yu's gaze was profound: "Yes, in the eight years since the founding of Dark Hidden Village, there have been two individuals in my mind who have made outstanding contributions in obscurity, and I already have two candidates for Duke..."

Footsteps came from the palace gate.

Everyone turned to look.

Two masked youths entered and knelt on one knee: "Lord Shadow!"

Lin Yu said, "Now, take off your masks..."

The two removed their masks, revealing themselves to be Hozuki Mangetsu and Uchiha Itachi, the people who had been secretly protecting the village for eight years!

In terms of merit, who can compare to these two?

"Hozuki Full Moon!"

"exist!"

"From this day forward, you are hereby conferred the title of Duke of Ghost Shadow of the Dark Ninja Kingdom. Once Ghost Shadow City is completed, you will assume the position of city lord!"

Full Moon asked in surprise, "Duke, city lord? If I become the city lord... who will take over the Dark Guard?"

To be honest, the existing mechanisms are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of this 18 square kilometer area. A more robust system is required.

Lin Yu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Manyue, I've made all the arrangements. From now on, you will be the lord of the city and share my burdens!"

Full Moon looked bewildered: "But... I don't know how to be the city lord, and I don't know if I can do it well."

Lin Yu said, "Be confident, you can do it."

After thinking it over, Man Yue said, "I will do my best and live up to your trust!"

Lin Yu nodded and looked at Itachi: "Uchiha Itachi!"

"exist!"

"From this day forward, you are hereby conferred the title of Duke of Phantom of the Dark Ninja Kingdom. Once 'Phantom City' is completed, you will assume the position of city lord!"

"I understand, but..."

*Buzz!* Lin Yu's Sharingan flashed, transmitting the information.

Don't worry, Itachi... From now on, when announcing to the whole country, you and Mangetsu will be referred to by your titles, and your personal names will be hidden.

Thus, the two accepted their titles with peace of mind and left.

Tobirama said, "That young man from the Hozuki clan just now, he was also a reanimated being, but his strength seemed..."

Lin Yu said, "Yes, Full Moon isn't very strong, but when my life was in danger, he risked his own to pass on information to me, which is why I survived. From that moment on, I decided that no matter how strong he is, he will always be the person I trust most. If I am immortal, he will be immortal..."

Chapter 382 The Great Battle is a Debate!

After the meeting, Lin Yu walked towards Tianyu Pavilion, with Saori following behind him, looking as if she had something to say.

"Saori, you can speak frankly if you have something to say."

"Lord Feather Emperor, the ninja ranking you mentioned earlier, the three levels of Heaven, Earth, and Mortal, that means... what level am I at now?"

Lin Yu stopped and stared at Saori for a long time before saying, "Saori, you are now good enough to be ranked as the third level of the Earth rank. You should know that eight years ago, you were only the first level of the Mortal rank. This growth is already quite amazing."

Saori's ninjutsu is very special.

Her beauty is so captivating that it can make the moon hide its face and flowers blush; she is immune to ninjutsu.

The "Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers" is a rare olfactory illusion that can be effective over a wide area.

A dazzling array of flowers, even capable of transforming one's body into flower petals.

The flying flowers and playing with shadows are similar to the footwork of the Hyuga clan's Bagua.

In addition, there is the unique martial art Black Qilin.

And the forbidden technique Six Desires Chaos, a deadly finishing move!

In terms of overall strength, it's terrifying!

Saori said, "Earth-level, third rank, does that mean I was qualified to go to the battlefield when the Otsutsuki clan attacked, as you said?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, your strength can be put to use. Also, Saori... you still have a lot of room for growth. My expectation for you is second-class Earth rank!"

The character "地" can go to the battlefield, but it plays a supporting role, waiting for the right opportunity to act!

If there is no suitable opportunity, it is not advisable to make a move, otherwise one's life may be in danger in an instant.

To put it bluntly, they are 'high-class spectators'.

Saori thought to herself: Even if I am just a spectator, I will be in the very front to admire Lord Yu's heroic figure. I will far exceed Lord Yu's expectations and become the first-class Earth rank!

The two passed by the location of the ninja academy.

The Dark Nation currently has 5000 regular ninjas and over 20000 children studying at ninja academies who are preparing to become ninjas!

Lin Yu said, "Now that the village has become a country, the 'school' symbolizing the future should also be upgraded to an 'academy'. We will provide comprehensive training in the eight ninja qualities: ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, wisdom, strength, speed, precision, and hand seals. Furthermore, for children who excel in a particular area, we will provide them with specialized training!"

"By the way, we should quantify these eight qualities and establish a new 'Book of Fighting' as a basis for judging their strength!"

"The Book of Fighting? What's that?" Saori asked curiously.
