I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

At the very least, there are definitely a lot of Chunins in the five major ninja villages. As long as the vast majority of Genin are not eliminated in various missions or die in the Ninja World War, they will naturally obtain the Chunin qualification granted by the ninja village when they are young and middle-aged.

Are you talking about the Chunin Exam, which has a very high elimination rate?

That's right, the Chunin Exam held twice a year by the five major ninja villages is indeed a way to screen and promote to Chunin, but the actual way for ninjas to be promoted in the ninja villages is still in the hands of each ninja village itself. Procedures like the promotion of Genin to Chunin and the promotion of Chunin to special Jonin are all decided by each ninja village itself.

Naturally, the Genin of the five major ninja villages who graduated from the ninja school at around ten years old, not to mention those geniuses or ninjas with bloodline limits and secret techniques, ordinary Genin have the probability of being promoted to Chunin after performing missions and growing up. As long as you are not too unlucky and fail in the mission, or are unlucky enough to encounter a ninja village conflict or a ninja world war, ordinary ninjas from the five major ninja villages around 20 years old can generally reach the average level of Chunin. Therefore, the number of Chunin in each ninja village is really not small, and the same is true for the Mist Village.

According to the investigation of the scene by the Anbu team of the Mist Village, it was obviously a foreign ninja who was good at wind-style escape. The wreckage of the forehead protector, which was highly valued by the ninjas of each ninja village, further proved that the Mist Village that carried out the mission should have been wiped out. The report uploaded by the Anbu team based on common sense coincided with the time when the Sand Village declared war on the Konoha Village. Naturally, the Third Mizukage would not find any problem with this.

This made it convenient for Li Mo to escape. He and his three subordinates successfully left the Water Country on a small boat and headed for a country they had considered in advance. At that time, they successfully received the good news from the spy of the Mist Village through the [Shadow Seed]!

………………

A small two-masted boat was sailing on the sea. The old sailor who served as the navigator was squinting his eyes to observe the direction. Two elite Genin who were temporarily acting as sailors were pulling the sails to better control the wind direction and let the boat head for the destination.

As a group of people who left the Water Country, Li Mo had already decided on his goal from the beginning. He naturally would not regard the Water Country with its many hidden dangers as his base. He had not even considered the continental center and coastal areas of the Ninja World. He simply followed the approximate map of the Ninja World in his memory, combined with the information of various countries obtained through his subordinates and other channels, confirmed the situation and chose to gain a foothold overseas, and did not get involved in the muddy waters of the Third Ninja World War.

——There is no doubt that the isolated Water Country and the four major countries on the mainland are all contestants in the Third Ninja World War. It would be boring for Li Mo to go to the Fire Country or the surrounding small countries at this time. It would be difficult to develop even with a suitable disguise identity. He knew how cruel the Third Ninja World War was. In Konoha Village, even children of six or seven years old went to the battlefield. The number of troops invested by other ninja villages was probably also a large number. God knows under such circumstances, if Li Mo went to the Fire Country and other places to develop, would he encounter a Ninja War and get killed directly.

After all, Li Mo thought that his current strength was okay, but in the entire ninja world, he was not considered a master. Moreover, if Li Mo relied on [Shadow Escape], [Power of Black Shadow] and [Wind Escape], there were many strong people and even senior ninjas in the ninja world who had the means to fight against them. He did not plan to meet those strong people in the ninja world now. He needed to find a safe place to settle down and get the resources to become stronger and develop his power. He needed to choose a more suitable place.

Therefore, before leaving the Mist Village to carry out this mission, Li Mo carefully recalled the plot of the Naruto world from his memory, and then based on the general information he had learned, he determined a seemingly remote but relatively suitable place to stay!

"How long is it until the Rainbow Kingdom?"

Seeing the boundless sea, Li Mo, who had been tired of it for more than ten days, didn't care at all. He looked at the situation except for the sun in the sky to determine the general direction, and directly asked the old sailor whom he "recruited" from the Sea Kingdom five days ago.

"Sir, it usually takes a merchant ship one and a half months to travel from the Sea Kingdom to the Rainbow Kingdom. It also depends on whether the wind conditions are favorable!"

Hearing Li Mo's words, the old sailor, who looked to be in his 50s or 60s with half-white hair, saluted respectfully and looked at the surrounding sea conditions. He carefully told Li Mo about his previous experience of going to the Rainbow Country for business, and gave a rough answer based on his own sailing speed in the past few days: "For us, the speed of this small boat is quite fast. It is estimated that we will reach the Rainbow Country in another week..."

The old sailor was very cautious. He was "invited" by Li Mo from his hometown, the Sea Country, where he was about to retire, using money and force. He immediately knew that his trip was quite risky, but faced with the huge reward that was enough to make people salivate and the other party's half-smile, he still worked hard on this journey.

There was no way. The old sailor had been doing business for decades and was well-informed. He naturally knew that bargaining with a strong man who held power was courting death. Just like the Chamber of Commerce where he had been running a merchant ship for half his life, the boss wanted to negotiate the price with a great nobleman from the Water Kingdom a few years ago, but inexplicably half a year later, the ship was attacked by "pirates" and both the ship and the people were destroyed. If the old sailor had not been sick at the time and happened to stay on the shore, I am afraid that they would have died in the sea in the same inexplicable way.

Later, the old sailor witnessed his own chamber of commerce being directly acquired by the great noble of the Water Country at a low price. Knowing that there must be something fishy, ​​the old sailor left quietly. He naturally knew that there must be something fishy, ​​but the other party was not only a great noble of the Water Country, but also had a team of fierce warriors following him. He did not want to sacrifice his family's lives in vain, so he had to quietly leave the chamber of commerce where he had been for nearly twenty years and start a life at the dock again.

This time, the old sailor who was "invited" by Li Mo was certainly reluctant in his heart, but seeing the other party directly throwing down 50,000 taels of banknotes, the old sailor who could not refuse had to go into battle again and do his best to show his value.

"Very good, you continue to steer the ship, and we will head to the Rainbow Kingdom as soon as possible!"

Li Mo did not find anything strange about the old sailor's cautious attitude. In the ninja world, it was a smart move. He observed the surrounding seas through a sea eagle controlled by [Black Shadow Seed]. After confirming that the approximate location of his group was correct, he praised the old sailor approvingly and gave instructions.

Seeing that Li Mo praised him, the old sailor responded respectfully, then respectfully sent Li Mo back to the cabin before continuing his own observation of the sea conditions!

……

It has to be said that Li Mo and his crew were very lucky. They did not encounter any bad weather during their voyage. Otherwise, a two-masted ship that capsized while sailing near the coast would have probably sunk directly into the sea if they encountered stronger sea conditions.

This was also what the old sailor was worried about. He had seen a lot of bad sea conditions on the sea. Just from the Chamber of Commerce he once worked for, he had heard that a wealthy merchant who tried to open up trade routes in the distant seas had his entire fleet destroyed because of a big storm at sea. And if you want to go from the Kingdom of the Sea to the Kingdom of the Rainbow, you must have a three-masted sailing ship to be reliable. Cricket with a two-masted boat is simply gambling with his life.

However, the old sailor not only saw Li Mo and the three former Mist Ninja subordinates walking easily on the sea and catching some sea fish as food supplements, but also saw that Li Mo easily rescued the boat when it encountered an ocean undercurrent. He understood that his ordinary people's sailing experience was completely inapplicable to these people who might have mastered the power of chakra, and he cleverly tried his best to use the sailing experience he had accumulated over the years to allow his group to rush to the Rainbow Country as quickly as possible.

For Li Mo, he was not idle during the past ten days at sea. Although he could not practice martial arts to his heart's content, and even found it difficult to display the ninjutsu, shadow escape, and swordsmanship he had mastered, he secretly pondered the bloodline limit of his awakened [Shadow Escape] and absorbed the extraordinary power practice experience passed on by several other Li Mos, which made him quickly forget the boredom of the sea voyage.

When he heard the old sailor's excited voice and saw the large island that should be similar to the tropical region and the scattered islands around it, Li Mo walked out of the cabin with a smile on his face and said in a low and light voice:

"We are finally here! The Land of Rainbow..."

Chapter 47: First Visit to the Rainbow Kingdom

The Rainbow Kingdom!

This is an island country in the world of Naruto. Like the Water Country, the Fire Country and the Wind Country located on the mainland, it is separated from the country by the sea. It does not even have its own ninja village. It can be said to be just an island country located in a very remote area.

In the eyes of the big countries in the ninja world such as the Fire Country, the Wind Country, and the Lightning Country, the Rainbow Country is just a small overseas country that is occasionally heard of. If it weren't for the occasional merchant ship from the Rainbow Country coming to trade, its popularity might not even be as high as that of a tiny country like the Wave Country. After all, there are still many people in the Fire Country near the Wave Country who know about this country, but the number of people in the Fire Country and the Wind Country who know about the Rainbow Country is extremely small.

Even the Water Kingdom is indifferent to the Rainbow Kingdom which is too far away. The reason is that the Rainbow Kingdom was originally a new island discovered by the Sea Kingdom when the Water Kingdom exiled its prisoners. However, the distance is really too far, and the newly established Water Kingdom has no interest in developing it at all.

After all, in the modern world before Li Mo traveled through time, developing unfamiliar primeval forests or primitive islands could cost human lives. Not to mention the cost of developing islands in the world of Naruto, the initial losses of migrating colonists alone is a big problem!

At the very least, according to the experience of the great era of nautical colonization in the present world before Li Mo traveled through time, even if there were certain prepared materials and migrated personnel, the mortality rate in the early stages of the colony was as high as 30% or even 50%, and this high mortality rate would last for several years. At least until the colonial area had sanitary infrastructure and developed good hygiene regulations, the mortality rate would drop significantly. Otherwise, if you want to carry out colonial development, you will have to continue to sacrifice human lives.

- Some little-known fact about the period of discovery and colonization during which European countries carried out the Age of Exploration. In the early days of the Age of Exploration, sailors would lose half of their crew or even more during each voyage, which led to the sailors' willingness to spend money when going ashore. As for the mortality rate of colonists during the Age of Exploration, it was so severe that a large number of colonists would die in three years in the early stages of developing a colony with a harsh environment. This means that sanitary conditions and medicines were better when they were available.

In the world of Naruto, there is no European Age of Exploration yet. The five major countries including the Water Country and various small countries are all focused on the disputes and wars in the most important Ninja Continent. The Rainbow Country is an unexpected situation.

According to the information obtained by Li Mo, the Rainbow Kingdom was where the Water Kingdom was just established and the winner of the battle for the successor to the Daimyo of the Water Kingdom exiled the criminals.

It was probably the new daimyo of the Land of Water who, with the idea of ​​"making his life suffer more than death", arranged for the loser to be exiled there along with many of his subordinates, and then asked his younger brother, the Land of the Sea, to take care of them.

It is foreseeable how helpless the heir to the daimyo of the Water Country and his subordinates were at that time, but they could not refuse the order of the daimyo of the Water Country. A total of more than 20,000 people went to the Rainbow Country to develop it. After several decades, due to several coincidences of luck, the Rainbow Country was established and recognized by other countries. However, due to its sparse population and location in the distant ocean, even the Water Country had no interest in this small country, let alone other major countries in the Ninja Continent.

If we have to make a comparison, Li Mo thinks we can use the Qiongzhou in the feudal era of the Celestial Empire as an analogy. That was a large island just dozens of kilometers away from the mainland. For more than a thousand years, it was regarded as a remote exile place by the Celestial Empire. The situation in the Ninja Continent was more complicated. The five major countries, including the Water Kingdom, mostly focused on their own homeland and wars with other major countries. The Rainbow Kingdom was too far away for them.

The total ocean distance of more than 3,000 kilometers is too far away for the Ninja Continent, which is still in the semi-feudal era. Even the Sea Kingdom, which is closest to the Rainbow Kingdom, is thousands of kilometers away, making it difficult to attract the attention of other countries.

For Li Mo, the situation in the Rainbow Kingdom is very bad, but he feels that it is the most suitable place for him to occupy, practice in peace and develop his own power!

Are you talking about the Ninja Continent and the Land of Water?

Well, in the Ninja World, there is already a melee between the four major countries and the four major ninja villages. Even the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander who defeated the three ninjas of Konoha in the Second Ninja World War can only stay in the Rain Country and cannot expand. It is difficult for other small countries to have the opportunity to become strong.

Without saying anything else, the demigod Salamander Hanzo is definitely a top-notch Kage-level warrior. His strength is definitely far beyond Li Mo, who estimated that he was hovering between a special jonin and an elite jonin. However, he failed to lead the Rain Country to grow in the ninja world. The situation of other small countries must be equally bleak, so Li Mo will not join in the fun.

As for the Water Country, Li Mo didn't want to face the Third and Fourth Mizukages surrounded by blood mist, not to mention that the elite of the Mist Village were still there. If he ran out of the Mist Village and developed in the Water Country, it would simply attract the attention of the Mist Village. What's more, Li Mo was certain that when the mentally ill Uchiha Obito controlled the Fourth Mizukage, he would definitely encounter trouble if he stayed in the Water Country. It would not be good if he attracted the attention of Black Zetsu and other forces in advance.

After considering each one in this way, Li Mo set his sights on the remote small countries in the Ninja World. His initial targets were the Snow Country, the Sea Country, and the Rainbow Country. Then, after collecting intelligence and comparing them one by one, he directly ruled out the Snow Country and the Sea Country.

There is no way. The Snow Country in the original plot of Naruto does exist, but that place requires crossing most of the ninja world. Its location is equivalent to Japan's Hokkaido and even the former Sakhalin Island of China. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is covered with ice and snow all year round. Snowy weather in six or seven months a year is a common occurrence. It is an unsuitable living area for ordinary people. The Sea Country is relatively close to the Water Country. If you settle there, it will easily attract the attention of the Water Country.

After calculating one by one, Li Mo finally chose the Rainbow Kingdom as his default base. When he looked at the Rainbow Kingdom that looked like a tropical island and the rainbow that was easily seen in the morning due to the refraction of water mist, he understood why the Rainbow Kingdom got its name. He did not think about landing on the Rainbow Kingdom immediately, but instead carefully concealed the traces of his arrival and arranged for three subordinates to go to the island to obtain information through transformation and other methods.

On the seventeenth night after leaving the Sea Kingdom, Li Mo leisurely boarded the main island of the Rainbow Kingdom. He did not show up in public but hid his figure and walked towards the main island capital of the Rainbow Kingdom, which was a small town of about 10,000 people!

Chapter 48 Easily Seizing the Country

Under the cover of night, the so-called capital of the only city in the Rainbow Country fell into silence. Occasionally, a faint candlelight could be seen in a house, and only the daimyo castle tower in the city had bright lights supplied by electricity.

In a sense, the technology tree in the world of Naruto is quite crooked, and the rate of technology popularization is also very poor. At the beginning of the original story of Naruto, electricity and electrical appliances were popularized in the five major ninja villages and many cities in the ninja world, but the level of technology was obviously at most at the level of the 1950s. Outside of Konoha Village or other ninja villages, ninjas carrying out missions still had to rely on their legs to run on dirt roads.

At least, before the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the ninja world was divided into five major countries and a large number of small countries. Even if there were certain scientific and technological achievements, it would be difficult to promote them on a large scale. Even if a country wanted to promote a scientific and technological product, it had to be approved by other countries and ninja villages, which was naturally a very difficult process.

For the Naruto world, which was set more than ten years earlier and just when the Third Ninja World War had just begun, even the electricity technology had not yet reached the point of popularization. Li Mo only saw popular electric lights and tap water in the Mist Village, and when he left the Mist Village and saw the scenes of the Water Kingdom, the degree of electrification of the towns and ports he passed by was extremely low, and public transportation facilities such as roads were still in the feudal era. Except for the main roads which had a certain amount of maintenance, the others were all dirt roads.

As for the Rainbow Country, it is even more difficult for a small country remotely located overseas to introduce technological products. Currently, only the Daimyo and the so-called capital of the Rainbow Country have a certain electricity supply, and at night, only the castle tower where the Daimyo lives has lights on, which can be said to be very conspicuous. Considering that the wars and conspiracies in the world of Naruto basically do not involve the Daimyo, their vigilance can be said to be very loose.

Now, the castle tower that Li Mo targeted was only on alert enough to deal with ordinary thieves or general Genin-level samurai. He sneaked in very easily and quickly used his means to isolate the scene inside and outside the castle tower!

………………

The castle tower where the daimyo lived in the Land of Rainbow

As the daimyo of the Rainbow Country, his status is at least higher than that of the wealthy merchant Kado who only recruits ronin and rebellious ninjas. Even though the Rainbow Country is located overseas and has basically not encountered any foreign enemies, the daimyo still spent money to train a group of private ninjas.

Of course, the private ninjas trained by the Daimyo of the Land of Rainbow cannot be compared with the five major ninja villages that can mobilize tens of thousands of ninja troops at any time. Even the ninja villages of small countries such as the Rain Village of the Land of Rain and the Taki Village of the Land of Taki are far inferior. There are only more than 30 ninjas in total, including two special ninja commanders of the first level of Jonin, more than ten elite Chunins and ordinary Chunins, and the rest are just ordinary Genin.

A private ninja force of this size is not enough in the Sea Kingdom which has no ninja village. Those big chambers of commerce that go out to sea for maritime trade are all in the habit of hiring ninjas to travel. Together with the ninjas recruited and trained by the daimyo of the Sea Kingdom, it would be effortless for them to crush these private ninjas of the Rainbow Kingdom. And any special jonin from the five major ninja villages with a team of chunin could easily defeat these ninjas of the Rainbow Kingdom.

After all, the ninjas of the five major ninja villages are the best in both quality and quantity. Those small ninja villages struggling to survive may have one or two secret techniques or unique ninjutsu, but the five major ninja villages still have the most complete ninjutsu, secret techniques and bloodline boundaries. This is the gap between the fully armed armies of the five giants and the soldiers of an ordinary small country.

What's more, the Rainbow Country is far away from overseas and basically encounters few enemies. There is a big question mark as to how strong the ninjas trained by its daimyo are!

"Eh? How did you..."

When a Chunin who was guarding outside the Daimyo's gate in the Land of Rainbow found that another of his companions seemed to have fallen down inexplicably, the first thing he did was not to realize the arrival of the enemy, but to approach and wonder if something had happened to his companion.

Faced with this weakling who didn't even realize the enemy had infiltrated, Li Mo, who had used [Shadow Escape] to sneak into the opponent's shadow, was speechless. He simply reached out and pressed the neck of the Chunin, and knocked the opponent out with a slight burst of strength in his hand. Then he directly fused the [Seed of Black Shadow] with the two Chunins on guard, and treated them the same as the other two groups of four Chunins patrolling under the castle tower. They all became his subordinates directly and would not become any unexpected obstacles.

Seeing that all the guards had been dealt with, Li Mo entered the Daimyo's bedroom. He ignored the two beauties who were very attractive to ordinary men, and directly planted a special version of the [Black Shadow Seed] in the Daimyo of Rainbow Country who was sleeping like a dead pig.

"Can you gather the remaining ninjas?"

Later, the daimyo who had already integrated the special version of [Shadow Seed] woke up, turned over quickly and knelt respectfully to Li Mo. Li Mo looked at the two unconscious women and asked directly.

"Sir, there is no problem. They are training in the forest camps around the capital, and those Chunins and special Jonins are living in the capital!"

Facing Li Mo's inquiry, the middle-aged fat daimyo who seemed to weigh more than 200 pounds was very respectful. He directly explained the situation of the domestic ninjas that he used to regard as his self-defense dagger. He was even afraid that his new boss didn't know the situation, so he explained the situation of this batch of ninjas under his command. He almost found detailed information to report the details to Li Mo.

As a new version of [Seed of Black Shadow] launched by Li Mo, it can try to ensure that the integrated personnel will not become dead soldiers who only know how to obey orders. While ensuring their loyalty, it will also allow them to have normal thinking. It can be regarded as a new killer weapon!

"Very good, let's gather them together tomorrow morning!"

Seeing the respectful attitude of the fat Daimyo, Li Mo, who had someone investigate the general intelligence information of the Rainbow Country during the day and knew that this small country was the Daimyo with this small group of ninja armed forces, was very satisfied with the other party's respectful attitude. He directly gave orders to this new subordinate and showed his goal: "In addition, you are ready to abdicate within five years. Is there any problem?"

That's right, Li Mo doesn't have the idea of ​​being an invisible man forever. Things like becoming the XX Shadow of the Rainbow Country seem too narrow for him. Li Mo is not Naruto who has been washed into a hot-blooded idiot and dreams of becoming the Hokage all day long.

According to Li Mo's idea, it would be best to directly become the leader of a force like himself in the world of Kabutoshi. However, the situation in the world of Naruto is slightly different. The ninja village that possesses the strongest power actually has a certain influence on their own country, and their status is actually slightly lower than those daimyo with good reincarnation skills. Except for the management rights and combat matters of the ninja village, even the crucial financial power is affected by the daimyo of their own country.

In this case, Li Mo's idea for the Rainbow Country is to simply become the open leader of the Rainbow Country himself. Things like the Ninja Village can be put aside for the time being. It would be a very good thing for the forces under his command to set up a framework for the time being.

"As you command! Sir!"

After hearing Li Mo's order, the fat daimyo answered with certainty. He had been sitting on the throne of the daimyo of the Rainbow Country for nearly twenty years, but that didn't mean he had never encountered any danger. He was able to stand out from several sons of the previous daimyo and firmly control the only ninja army in the hands of the daimyo of the Rainbow Country. It would be nonsense to say that he had no tricks. At most, he was directly conquered by Li Mo's dimensionality reduction attack.

At the very least, as an ordinary fat man, Daimyoji really couldn't resist the enhanced version of [Seed of Shadow] cast by Li Mo. After fusion, he truly became a loyal lackey and began to work hard for his new boss!

……

More than ten hours later, Li Mo, who had planned without intention, happily harvested two special jonin and more than a dozen elite chunin and chunin-level subordinates, and these ninjas were simply unable to make any effective response to Li Mo's sneak attack.

It should be said that facing Li Mo who had the combat awareness of multiple Li Mos combined, the two special jonin of Rainbow Country reacted a little, but were directly subdued by Li Mo in the next second. As for the other dozen elite chuunin and ordinary chuunin, they were controlled by the shadow binding technique of [Shadow Escape], and could not even resist and became prisoners. Later, they became Li Mo's subordinates together with the two special jonin.

When Li Mo asked about the two special jonins, he learned that most of these ninjas of the Rainbow Country were former daimyo, who selected their trusted confidants and wandering ninjas and gradually trained them. The two special jonins were orphans collected by the Rainbow Country, and they were trained intensively after being determined to have good ninja talents. Unfortunately, the resources of the Rainbow Country were really limited. The two special jonins were at the end of their peak period, almost thirty years old, and only then did they have the combat power of the special jonin level, and they were still at the bottom of the list.

After all, the Rainbow Country is an overseas place far away from the ninja world. Even rebellious ninjas and wandering ninjas would not run to such a far place. There are no powerful enemies around. It can be said that the inheritance, resources and environment for cultivating ninjas are all very poor. The two special jonin do most of the time to act as black gloves for the Daimyo of the Rainbow Country. Their combat targets are mostly samurai who understand some chakras, so they are naturally not considered strong.

Of course, Li Mo has not thought so much about those newly joined ninja subordinates. He took control of the name of the Rainbow Country and obtained an official identity. Then he learned about the situation of the Rainbow Country. He couldn't help but frowned and sighed in a low voice:

"Tsk tsk, no wonder no one has set their sights on the Rainbow Country. With a total population of only 100,000 people, it's probably just a little bit stronger than the Wave Country..."

Chapter 49 Territory and Strategy

It should be said that Li Mo had previously made a certain estimate of the situation in the Rainbow Kingdom. He felt that this small country should be a remote and not very wealthy country. However, he was a time traveler from the 21st century after all, and he subconsciously used the comparison situation in the 21st century when thinking and comparing.

As a hamster-shaped UP host that Li Mo follows said, from the perspective of modern Chinese people in the 21st century, only modern countries with a population of more than million are considered big countries. Medium-sized countries are those with a population of over million but poor industrial technology, or modern technological countries with a population of less than million. The standard for a small country is probably a country with a population of no more than million and with a certain economic strength or certain unique advantages in industry.

What? You mean a country with a population of less than one million, or a few million people with no industry?

How can such a tiny country that can be destroyed by a single hydrogen bomb be worthy of others' attention? Even if it has oil or other precious minerals, one day America may find an excuse to sanction it, or Europe and the United States may manipulate it to stage a coup d'état.

However, when Li Mo read the detailed information about the entire country provided by the Daimyo of the Rainbow Country, he realized that from his perspective of the present world before the time travel, those small countries in the Ninja Continent were too out of scope. Even the Water Country and the Wind Country among the five major countries had an estimated population of less than 10 million. The Fire Country with the largest population probably had a population of only 30 or 40 million. It was rare for those small countries to have a population of more than one million, and most of them had only a few hundred thousand or a few hundred thousand people.

The total population of the Rainbow Kingdom has just broken through the 100,000 mark. The country's pillar industries, from heavy to light, are agriculture, fishing, commerce and handicrafts. It can be said to be a remote overseas small country in an authentic feudal era.

Not to mention the budding of industry, the Rainbow Kingdom itself is just a small port city and a dozen surrounding towns, plus more than a hundred villages.

In other words, the so-called capital of the Rainbow Kingdom is that small port town. In the past, the kingdom had to rely on fishermen to go out fishing for its marine fishing industry. The actual support for the more than 100,000 people in the Rainbow Kingdom was still agriculture. The commerce was supported by the Rainbow Kingdom's only a few ocean-going merchant ships and the occasional foreign merchant ships. The remaining handicrafts were called handicrafts, but in fact they were just a group of craftsmen such as blacksmiths and carpenters who made a living by their skills.

Li Mo carefully looked through the situation of the Rainbow Kingdom and found that the economy of the Rainbow Kingdom itself was a very normal feudal society, with a small peasant economy that tried to be self-sufficient. However, the Rainbow Kingdom used to be a place of exile. Although the island where the Rainbow Kingdom was located was extremely large and had a tropical climate, it did not have a steady stream of external support and corresponding technology. After decades, it could barely survive, and trade still had to rely on a small amount of planted sugar cane, whale oil and other specialty products.

From this perspective, it is understandable why the Rainbow Country has not been targeted by other countries. It would cost a lot of money to form a fleet to attack it. Even if the Rainbow Country is captured, they would have to worry about how to feed more than 100,000 people, and it might not pay off even after more than ten years.

Fortunately, Li Mo had some expectations about the situation in the Rainbow Kingdom. Although some of his predictions were wrong, he was not disappointed because the Rainbow Kingdom did have great potential for development!

What you need to know is that the best territory in the ninja world is in the Land of Fire. The vast tracts of dense forests and fertile plains give the Land of Fire the largest population and abundant food, but this also makes the other four major countries and a group of small countries jealous.

Countries like the Kingdom of Thunder, the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth all have relatively harsh environments, with limited populations to support and difficult to expand. For example, the Kingdom of Water that Li Mo traveled to has a typical island climate, with foggy scenes seen in the mornings and evenings all year round. Its agriculture and fisheries can barely support the entire Kingdom of Water, but it is basically impossible to expand new land.

To put it simply, the Water Kingdom has reached the upper limit of the country's population carrying capacity under the current state of agricultural technology. It will be difficult to feed any more people. The Thunder Kingdom, Earth Kingdom, and Wind Kingdom are in the same situation. It's just that each of them has a certain amount of room for development or has no room for development.

It is obvious that based on the current situation, if the countries in the Ninja World want to continue to develop, they have to climb the agricultural technology tree or the industrial technology tree. Otherwise, either the five major countries will annex small countries to provide a buffer, or simply launch a Ninja World War and reduce a certain amount of population!

However, the situation in the Rainbow Kingdom is completely different!

According to Li Mo's observation, the Rainbow Kingdom is located in a tropical marine environment. It has not reached the earth's equator but is not far away. The main island of the Rainbow Kingdom has an area of ​​more than 15,000 square kilometers. It has mountains, forests and plains. It has abundant rainfall and the land is relatively fertile. It is a fertile land waiting to be developed.

Although the Rainbow Kingdom has very little manpower and it took decades to develop a piece of land by the sea, it is estimated that more than 95% of the entire main island is still undeveloped, and the dozen or so large and small islands around it are only temporary berthing points for a few fishing boats. However, it has great development potential, which is much stronger than the Water Kingdom, which already has too much population.

At the very least, the secret information about the main island and the surrounding islands in the hands of the Daimyo of Rainbow Country has revealed that there are iron ore, coal mines, copper mines and other mineral veins on the main island, and there is also a small gold mine that is secretly mined by the Daimyo of Rainbow Country. However, these have been kept secret in the past, and only the Daimyo of Rainbow Country himself knows these secret information. In addition, due to the insufficient population, Rainbow Country used to prioritize solving people's livelihood issues such as food and clothing, and its remote location made it difficult to attract other talents.

In reality, the development potential of the Rainbow Country is actually quite good. The resources are sufficient to support a small industrial circle. As for issues such as technology and population, it actually depends on whether the Daimyo of the Rainbow Country, as the head, is willing to carry out large-scale development for his country and invest a lot of money and resources for this purpose.

If it were the Daimyo of the Rainbow Country, in the world line of the original plot of Naruto, these daimyos who possessed justice and wealth would be much more vigilant about their own ninja villages than being busy with political affairs. They did not have an overall plan for developing their own country. Even after the Fourth Ninja War, the Daimyo were still not as concerned about the development of their own country as those local nobles and wealthy merchants. They were completely a bunch of trash and parasites.

Therefore, Li Mo set the Rainbow Country as his target in advance, with the intention of gaining control. Even if the Rainbow Country was not really suitable, it could be used as an advance secret base. The actual situation now is actually much better than Li Mo expected. There is no shortage of resources and certain basic conditions. Even if the technology is not good enough, it is not impossible to make up for it.

In this case, Li Mo would be more concerned about staying in the Rainbow Country as his main base, and prepare to take advantage of the Third Ninja World War to develop himself in a dormant manner. Only when his strength has greatly improved, will he consider whether to get involved in the Third Ninja World War!
