"I never thought I could tolerate everyone. If I want to protect the sheep, I have to be cruel to the wolves."
If one wants to describe the evil things he has done in this world, then this song (the re-lyrics version of "Bright Moon Over the World") is the most appropriate.
Treacherous ministers are evil, rebellions are rebellious, and the fire of karma fills thousands of mountains.
I am a foolish minister who has no strategy and has let wolves run wild and deceived the emperor.
The emperor was incompetent, his ministers were out of work, and all living beings were suffering.
In troubled times, heroes emerge, and their names are Mamianma.
Red umbrella, the courage of a tyrant, exploring the tiger's den alone.
I would rather betray others, have the courtyard gate stained and the three-foot sharp blade cold.
The forged edict was completed, the proclamation was dispersed, and the princes gathered for a battle.
With his own strength, he disrupted the world and stole the power of the country.
Look at me, I seem crazy and insane, my ambitions are as high as the sky, how can a unicorn or a slow horse compare to me?
The empire is on the verge of collapse, the situation is at a standstill, the national morality is broken, and we need to start a new era!
He held the emperor hostage and established the throne room, and no other heroes dared to approach him.
He defeated the rebels, fought against various countries, and his reputation spread throughout the world.
Fight the landlords, break the feudal system, and single-handedly calm the turbulent tide.
Ghosts and gods are trembling, the army is scattered, who can stop it?
Limiting the emperor's power and establishing laws and regulations would make Chi Long change his color.
It is suggested that the land be divided equally and people dance wildly to their heart's content.
He established democracy, fought against many countries, and his reputation as a powerful tiger spread.
No matter how many hardships I suffer, they cannot burn me out. I have the courage of a hero.
Look at me, I am crazy, but I have lofty ambitions and my heart is filled with thousands of books.
Carrying a sword, I travel around the world to fulfill my long-cherished wish.
The abyss of thousands of feet can be filled by moving mountains.
And stand in the clouds, and ride on the wind to return drunkenly.
Even if you have killed tens of thousands of enemies, as long as you have not forgotten your original intention, what's the harm in fighting to the death?
Although he is young, he has been through many battles and is covered with wounds.
Hold the red umbrella and welcome the new sky.
105 White-haired Loli: Miss Beiluohu makes a grand appearance!
Namikaze Naruko is now 16 years old and has grown into a beautiful young lady with a graceful figure.
Now, she is a reliable jonin.
This is the coastal port of the Water Kingdom, where she is gathering intelligence.
A black robe with a hood covered her figure, and with sporadic raindrops falling from the sky, this outfit didn't seem too strange.
Now she has two tasks:
1. Tracking down the whereabouts of S-rank rebel Uchiha Satsuki...
2. Collect information about the Land of Water...
Task 1 has no time limit, Task 2 is the main one.
Just as Tsunade instructed: "This time, you can enter under the pretext of searching for Uchiha Satsuki who appeared in the Land of Water."
"This is a rare opportunity."
"The recent changes in the Land of Water have attracted the attention of all nations. They were the only country that did not suffer any losses during the Fourth Shinobi World War."
"Gather as much intelligence as possible about them."
Recently, people wearing strange clothes are often seen here.
Businessmen, workers...
Foreigner?
Their clothes are not the clothes of the ninja world, and they are not from a certain country in the ninja world.
Sometimes, you will hear such boasting: "We have so much food that we can't even eat it all. You should really envy us."
But no one believed them. The local boatmen said disdainfully: "Really? You are just daydreaming again."
But seeing this change...
Just a few months ago, they were still complaining about their hard work and suffering, but today, they have changed their appearance completely?
Their clothing and spirits are better than those of their counterparts in other countries.
Naruko didn't care about these changes, but one day, the huge warship came and caught Naruko's attention.
It was a massive ironclad ship, a behemoth over 300 meters tall, the largest summoned beast Naruko had ever seen wasn't as big as this one.
The people in the port were all attracted by the ironclad ship, and the noise was endless...
"What exactly is that thing?"
"From what they said, it seems to be radar."
"How could such a large gun be mounted on a ship?"
"Such a large ship is made of steel? How much steel does it take?"
The soldiers on the ship were dressed in military uniforms, standing on both sides of the deck in high spirits with determined expressions.
It's strange, why don't they wear armor? This puzzled thought popped up in Naruko's mind.
"See? This is our powerful empire."
The voice beside her attracted Naruko, and she asked in confusion, "Empire?"
At this time, the tall woman called "General" came down from the boat.
Gorgeous silver-blue hair, deep ice-blue eyes, fair skin, and a proud figure...
Dressed in the domineering pure white uniform of a senior officer, he has his own aura when he appears, and has infinite charm that captivates people.
What was even more surprising was that the Mizukage showed up and met with the woman in person.
So, what kind of information has she collected during the time she has been in the Water Kingdom?
She saw the people here.
This country is still nominally ruled by the daimyo, but it is actually Kirigakure that rules the country.
The Mizukage has achieved a dictatorship.
The people here suffer different hardships than those in other countries.
The laws were harsh, the punishments were cruel, and it was common to see people with missing noses and fingers working in the fields.
The corvée labor was heavy and unbearable, and they had to build facilities and ships day and night.
This is their life.
It is illegal for no reason, such as drinking is illegal, picking up leaves from other people's homes is illegal, and neighbors committing crimes is also illegal...
Why is it illegal?
Not to mention the illiterate farmers who don’t read and write, even the officials may not be able to recite these new laws.
They listened to whatever the officials said and had no place to appeal.
It became hard labor for no apparent reason, having to repair this, build that...
Although according to the laws of the Water Kingdom, being late will result in a fine and armor penalty.
How can ordinary people afford armor?
Even in the military, not all of them wear armor.
This amount of money is a huge sum that ordinary people cannot afford!
What to do if you can't pay back the huge amount of money? Pay it back by performing corvée labor.
According to the laws of the Water Kingdom, fines are a very common punishment. If you can afford it, you can atone for your crime. If you cannot pay, you will have to perform labor service.
There is a lack of supervision in the enforcement of the law, which gives officials ample room to do whatever they want.
As Menma once said: "The design of laws and the enforcement of laws are two completely different things."
"The line is wrong. The stricter the law, the more reactionary it is."
"Changing orders every day is a taboo that undermines public credibility."
And the Water Kingdom just took advantage of it.
The "Military Merit Nobility System" promulgated by the Water Country made Naruko feel that it was a pipe dream, and she didn't know who (Menma) designed it.
As long as a soldier captured the head of an enemy "soldier", he could obtain the lowest level of nobility, and could get one hectare of land, a house and a servant.
But please note that these are soldiers and armored sergeants; the heads of civilians who were temporarily conscripted do not count.
Even if a soldier has great martial arts skills, it is impossible for him to be promoted through a single battle.
No matter how many heads an ordinary soldier without a title chopped off in this war, he could only be promoted a few levels at most.
Because at this time, he will become a junior officer.
The calculation method of military merit has changed. As an officer, you still want to use the method of "going up and grabbing heads yourself" to calculate your military merit? You wish.
The collective's merit is your merit, and the collective's fault is your fault.
Moreover, the ninja world would have to rest for more than ten years after each major war.
Life and death are unpredictable on the battlefield.
This military merit system is like this...
It is not easy to gain a title, but it is not difficult to lose it.
If your companions make mistakes, you will be held responsible, demoted or even forced to do hard labor.
If your companion is killed, the head is counted as yours and you have to chop it off, otherwise you will be guilty.
The same applies to your neighbor making a mistake.
This is the mobility of titles.
If Ma hadn't mentioned it before, Naruto wouldn't have understood this, but now she understands it.
From any angle you look at it, Mizukage can only make money and never lose money.
Especially when this pie was first drawn up and people had not yet realized that "this was a lie", they were all looking forward to the arrival of war, so that they could cut off the heads of their enemies on the battlefield in exchange for merit and become nobles.
But what if the lie is revealed?
This hatred will explode.
Naruko returned to Konoha and clarified the matter to the Hokage in person. Tsunade said angrily: "The despicable Mizukage actually took advantage of the people's psychology."
"There is no doubt that the Mizukage wants to start a war."
Naruko said, "What should we do then?"
"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing, just leave."
Now, two years have passed since Uzumaki Menma's death, and Konoha has gradually stabilized after experiencing those series of events.
This is Ino and Sakura's daily routine, strolling around the commercial district:
“This store seems to have new products!”
"Huh? Is that so?"
"Let's go check it out later."
"Just for a moment! I still have to go on a mission!"
