Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

Yuzhen has fought with almost every Akimichi ninja, and the two sides can be said to have known each other through fighting. Yuzhen is also trying to "win people over with virtue"... Except that the taste of winning people over with virtue is not quite right, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, as the head of the clan, Akimichi Renqing had to be extremely cautious when making such a decision.

"Just like the Fuma clan in your organization?"

During this period of time, Qiu Dao Renqing has already understood the situation of the Fengma clan within the Yinghuo organization. In a nutshell, they obey collective orders and maintain relative independence.

"Yes, within the organization, the Akimichi clan is still the Akimichi clan, and that won't change."

In fact, after going through the most difficult period, there was no problem for the Yumiya Gen ninja in the organization to restore his original surname. However, in order to consider the feelings of the Fuma clan and maintain the atmosphere of "brotherhood among all people in the world", Yu Zhen did not do so for the time being.

Qiu Dao Renqing thought for a moment and said:

"I need to discuss this with everyone in the clan. More importantly, this matter must be based on the Daimyo's opinion..."

"This is as it should be. We have great respect for the Daimyo Shimizu."

Yuzhen knew that the Akimichi clan was not ruled by the clan leader Akimichi Jinqing alone, but under the premise that the supreme leader allowed and the ninja clan could maintain its integrity, the collective will of the clan should comply with Yuzhen's request.

Akimichi Renqing then said goodbye and left. Only one night passed, and on the next morning, he brought his two younger brothers to Kikyo Castle again.

"Lord Yuzhen, in accordance with the Daimyo's instructions, we, the Akimichi clan, are willing to join the Hotaru Organization. From now on, we will obey the organization's will and orders. We hope that you will treat us with fairness and openness, and cherish our lives as you would your blood brothers."

Qiu Dao Renqing's clothes, words and actions at this time all seemed extremely formal.

"I will never take the life of anyone in this organization lightly. This is not an oath, but a fact."

Every ninja standing behind Yuzhen can prove this.

Then, Yuzhen and Akimichi Renqing held hands together.

Fuma Goro, who was standing by, was ready to make a move. He whispered:

"Is it coming, everyone?"

"What's coming?"

There are people around to support the comedy.

"Blood-melting ritual, what else is there besides it?"

Fuma Goro was stabbed at that time, so he couldn't forget it and wanted to see other unlucky people suffer the same fate.

Now he already knows that Yu Zhen's recovery ability is different from that of ordinary people, but the good thing is that he only needs to be stabbed once, while Yu Zhen has to be stabbed every time... In a sense, this can be considered as asking for trouble.

"Isn't it necessary?"

Yu Zhenxin said that things are different now, and the Akimichi clan is proficient in the transformation of yang-attribute chakra. Although it will be painful after being stabbed, the recovery speed will definitely not be slow.

But before he could refuse, Chihori Hanemiya came over with a tray covered with a white silk and a dagger on the silk.

There are even five circles on the dagger...

Damn, this is the one that Yu Zhen picked up from the Sarutobi clan.

The atmosphere was so tense that Yu Zhen could only say, "Come on then."

"Rong...Rong what?" Qiu Dao Renqing was confused.

But at this time he felt that his palm had been firmly grasped, and then Yu Zhen suddenly raised his knife and nailed the palms of the two people together.

Qiu Dao Renqing's mouth twitched in pain.

He instantly understood the significance of this ceremony, however...

What kind of tribal custom of eating raw meat and drinking blood is this?

Blood dripped and the people around began to applaud wildly. Qiu Dao Renqing was even more confused. No, why are you so excited?

Of course, he couldn't understand what this ritual meant to the desperate Fengma clan.

Chihori then took the dagger back, washed and disinfected it, and kept it away as a treasure.

This made Yu Zhen's mouth twitch. It couldn't be that bad, could it? He suspected that he would die from some cross infection one day in the future.

After this unfortunate ceremony was completed, the Akimichi clan became one of their own.

While bandaging the wound, Yu Zhen had already started assigning tasks to his people.

"Chief Akimichi, the ninja forces of Kawagen Country will be reintegrated. This matter is important but not urgent. I am now going to entrust you with an extremely urgent task."

Akimichi Renqing nodded with a stern face. He thought that after joining the organization, he would indeed face a severe test.

"Master Yuzhen, please speak."

"Well, I'm going to focus on the military from now on. This means the Daimyo has to allocate budget and funds to the military... Your mission is very important. You must try your best to secure sufficient funds from the Daimyo Shimizu."

"Administrative costs are pitifully low right now, and the Daimyo doesn't need to maintain an overly luxurious lifestyle. So where should the Kawagen Kingdom's money be spent? On us, of course."

Qiu Dao Renqing: "..."

Huh? Such an urgent task? Admittedly, it is indeed urgent and important, but why assign it to me? I'm the "newcomer" in the organization.

Yu Zhenxin said that of course he had to give the task to you, otherwise how could you understand where you stand?

Ninjas are ninjas, and daimyo are daimyo. The two sides can certainly work closely together, but their positions cannot be confused.

"Any questions?"

Seeing that the other party was silent, Yu Zhen asked again.

"Not at all, it's just...how much budget do we need?"

"No matter how much, it's never too much. If you can force the daimyo to eat less or simply, that would be the best."

Just don't let the daimyo starve to death? How is that possible?

Qiu Dao Renqing showed a skeptical look. "Didn't you say you always respected the Daimyo Shimizu? This kind of respect is better off not being used."

Chapter 88 Black Zetsu and White Zetsu

The integration of the two daimyo forces is simple and yet troublesome.

It is said to be simple because the upper-level consciousness is very unified and the main ninja forces have no objections. The so-called integration is just putting them together like a platter.

It is troublesome because there are always trivial matters in the integration process, from job arrangements to material distribution and even interpersonal relationships, nothing can go smoothly.

Although these things are small, they cannot be ignored. Instead, they must be dealt with seriously one by one.

Although the ninja power of Lingdang Castle is mainly composed of the Akimichi clan, there are other ninjas. Otherwise, the number of the Akimichi clan alone would make it difficult to maintain the rule of the daimyo.

After all, although the elites have greater value and can play a greater role, the daimyo always needs some less elite people to do miscellaneous work.

There is no doubt that if these odd-job ninjas want to continue staying in Kawasegen Country, they have to join the Firefly Organization, otherwise they have to leave.

So many people...especially the middle-level managers at the team leader level and below...have been extremely busy these days.

Fortunately, ordinary trivial matters will not come to Yu Zhen, so he only needs to focus on the overall situation.

What is the overall situation like now? There is order in the chaos, and everything is moving in a positive direction. After a period of adjustment, the Firefly Organization will still be the same Firefly Organization...

When the Fengmo clan first joined, didn't they also have some minor problems? What about now? Now the Fengmo clan is not seriously working hard to strengthen the organization.

With the addition of another ninja clan to the Firefly Organization, Uchiha Nanami's previous foresight in thinking and actions was revealed... The forehead protector she designed came in handy.

In Kikyo Castle, the castle tower, the acting lord Date Kamatani was eating delicious food and singing.

The table in front of him was filled with exquisite dishes. The delicious food with good color, aroma and flavor stimulated his taste buds. Several beautiful maids knelt on the side to provide meticulous service.

During this period of time, Ida Kamaya has indeed lived a good life. Although his status is similar to that of a puppet, he does not lack political power. In fact, it is not wrong to say that Kikyo Castle is under his governance.

As long as he didn't clash with the ninja organizations here, he was now a daimyo in reality, without the title. Although there was always a vague control over his head, the current Ida Kamaya was far stronger than when he was a small kalami under the previous daimyo.

But just then, three ninjas walked into the room.

This unannounced action frightened Ida Kamaya so much that he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand. In an instant, all kinds of bad thoughts flooded into his mind.

Kikyo City just had a coup, and now there's a second one? Damn ninja, they don't keep their word!

He managed to keep his composure and looked at the three ninjas, noting that they were not wearing the same clothes, but were wearing the same forehead protector that he had never seen before.

He knew two of them, they were members of the "Fuma Clan", and the other one was exceptionally tall and strong, why did he look like a ninja from the hostile force Lingdang City?

This situation almost scared Ida Kamaya so much that his upper digestive tract shut down and his lower digestive tract erupted at full power.

But what was strange was that after the three ninjas came not far in front of him, they knelt on one knee again.

What does this mean? It's not that Lingdang City attacked and we were defeated? It's that Lingdang City surrendered to us?

All we can say is that he guessed part of the facts right.

Then, I heard the tall and strong ninja say:

"Lord Date, now that the Kawagen Province has been unified, you have become a retainer of Lord Shimizu Kisuke. If you do not wish to lose your current position, please follow me to Reidang Castle and swear allegiance immediately."

In just one or two minutes, Ida Kamaya's mood went up and down like a roller coaster.

No, when did Chuanyuan Kingdom become unified? Wouldn't unification mean the destruction of Kikyo City? But Kikyo City didn't fall.

How did I automatically become that Qingshui boy's servant? Why was there no movement beforehand?

Who am I, where am I, is this still Platycodon City?

However, no matter how complicated his mood was, after losing the support of the Firefly Organization, he had to immediately follow orders and go to Lingdang City.

If he could show his loyalty to the daimyo, theoretically he should be able to maintain his current position. After all, he has no ninja power and can't make any waves except obeying orders obediently.

Under this premise, letting the people deal with the problems is more conducive to stabilizing the situation.

Thanks to Lord Yuzhen, maybe after this trip, Date Kamaya can get a promotion. It is not impossible to be promoted from "acting lord" to "lord".

This may be different from the upgrade route from castle lord to daimyo that Date Kamatani envisioned, but you can tell me whether it is an upgrade or not.

In short, he had completed his historical mission. No matter what happened to Date Kamaya from now on, it had nothing to do with Yuzhen.

At this time, Yu Zhen had just inspected the internal functional adjustments, combat teams, deployment distribution and other matters of the organization. He, Uchiha Nanami and Akimichi Guiyue who had just been transferred were on their way back to the office.

"You seem to have a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder? You always like to divide the department first, determine the responsibilities, and then fill the department with ninjas?"

Uchiha Nanami chatted as they walked. She felt that with the current size of the organization, there was no need to be so detailed, and this approach was also different from that of ordinary ninja clans.

"What's wrong with this?"

Yu Zhen didn't quite understand what Uchiha Nanami was confused about. Isn't it normal to determine the positions first and then arrange the personnel?

Qimei shook his head and said:

"In general, ninjas don't have long-term 'positions'. When there are tasks or needs within the clan, ninjas will be assigned different tasks at any time."

After hearing her say this, Yu Zhen finally understood. It's not that the ninja clan's organizational form is more general and makeshift, but Yu Zhen's internal arrangements are not like traditional ninja clans, but more like the later ninja villages.

So is he innovating or subconsciously plagiarizing? Never mind, let's just call it innovative plagiarism.

"It sounds like... there's nothing wrong with what the Ninja Clan is doing. My actions seem a bit unnecessary."

Having said that, Yu Zhen has no intention of going back. The organizational form of the ninja clan may be more in line with the requirements of the times, but this era may soon become a thing of the past.

Qimei nodded. She couldn't tell which one was better or worse, and just thought it was Yu Zhen's personal habit.

"By the way, do we really not need to move to Lingdang City?" she asked again.

"There's no need. The two towns aren't far apart anyway, and construction has just been completed here. We have no reason to move. Besides..."

"I get along very well with Daimyo Shimizu, and we could be friends. But if we move to Lingdang Castle, the distance is too close and I'm afraid he won't be able to breathe."

After all, the saying "If you are close to someone, you will be disrespectful" still makes a lot of sense.

After the organization was disbanded, the person in charge of Lingdang City was still Akimichi Renqing, but his subordinates were no longer just clan ninjas, including Fuma ninjas and Hanemiya Gen ninjas.

In this case, Yu Zhen was already able to control the military equipment of Lingdang Castle, so he didn't need to go close to it, so that he could leave enough buffer zone between himself and the daimyo.

Akimichi Guiyue had been listening to the conversation between the two people silently. Although he felt that the two people lacked a little respect for the daimyo in their conversation, he was still satisfied with their frank and open attitude.

But he didn't expect that the topic would soon turn to himself.

Qimei understood very well that distance creates beauty, but distance can also create barriers. She nodded hesitantly:

"I just don't know if Clan Leader Qiu Dao Renqing can get enough funding."

"Have faith in him."

In short, Yu Zhen, who was in charge of talking, was more confident than Akimichi Renqing, who was in charge of doing things. He continued half-jokingly, "Now is a good time to engage in militarism. As the only sun of the Kawagen Kingdom, what else can Master Shimizu Kiyou use the money for besides giving it to the organization?"

Yu Zhen was indeed not worried about the military budget. He turned around and asked Akimichi Guiyue:

"By the way, Mr. Guiyue, is your Akimichi clan connected to the Yamanaka clan and the Nara clan?"
