I am the savior, do you have any objection?

"No, that's not it." The ninja shook his head.

"Why is that?" Shamen pressed.

"Because...because Lord Danzo invaded our clan's territory and said...that if we didn't submit to him, he would turn all the men in our clan into women, and then take all the women with him to be slaves and have children with the evil Uchiha Madara!"

The elders were no match for him, and seeing that he was willing to pay, and since the higher-ups hadn't yet responded, they had no choice but to agree for now.

Upon hearing this, Shamen felt his eyes widen in fury. "You, Shimura Danzo! We thought you were chasing us in the desert and we had to hide from you, but you just flew right into our home!"

Not only did they fly to my home, but they also captured all the members of my clan and made them slaves for Madara Uchiha!

"And then? What's the deal with this capital city?" Shamen pressed for answers about the Kingdom of Wind.

"I heard it from Tachibana, who was guarding the city that day. She said that Lord Shimura stormed into the capital through the main gate as if it were empty. The people were terrified and closed their doors and windows, but they only saw that everyone who went up to oppose Lord Danzo fell down. Lord Danzo did not enter the homes of ordinary people, but went to the homes of wealthy merchants and nobles."

At each house, he would place his hand on the head of the homeowner and soon read out what crime the nobleman had committed and what punishment he should receive. If someone committed adultery with another man's wife or daughter, Lord Danzo would transform that person into a woman and send her to the home of the victim's male relative.

Those who hire ninjas to seize land for mining, those who seize water sources and charge villagers fees, and those who buy grain from the Land of Fire and sell it at high prices—all of them have their entire families captured, their skin blackened, and put on the streets to be used by people.

Officials who accepted bribes and suppressed certain matters were all publicly shamed and their names displayed on the city gate tower.

Many nobles, if they haven't done anything wrong in their lives, will serve ten years of free labor like those of us guarding them. Those who have done more wrong will be gathered together for daily grand trials, with different punishments handed down. The people love to watch.

Chapter 222 If I apologize, will you feel better?

Both Wu and Shamen were somewhat surprised after hearing these words.

Who would have thought that Kerry would have such a wild time in the city in just a few days?

After a moment's thought, the monk spoke again.

"So you're just going to give in to him like this? Why don't we send our clansmen to their respective places and then not send troops? We can gather together elsewhere and wait for the people to rebel."

In Shamen's mind, matters between nations shouldn't simply be swayed by one person.

Even those who have never been to the battlefield have a simple desire for their country's independence. Right now, they're just playing along with Kerry; there will definitely be people who rebel!

The ninja shook his head after hearing her words.

“Master Shamon, I’m afraid not. You don’t know Danzo’s prestige in the capital. It might be possible in other places, but in the capital, I’m afraid… Well, yesterday we found out that some enslaved nobles were planning to make things difficult for Danzo today. After we reported it, Danzo said not to worry about it and that you would understand once you went to the scene.”

The ninja had originally planned to persuade his boss with words, but after seeing the dangerous look in the other party's eyes, he changed his mind and said, "Go and see for yourself."

Shamon and Mu couldn't quite understand why this ninja had so much confidence in that dog-donkey Shimura Danzo, but they also wanted to learn more about him, so they nodded.

The two used their transformation technique again to knock the ninja unconscious and leave him to be watched over at the back, while the others followed the tail end of the crowd and blended into the city.

When they arrived at the scene, the so-called grand trial had already begun.

Kerry sat in the middle, while a disheveled nobleman was brought to the front of the stage beside him.

Kerry's voice was carried by some force so that it could be heard throughout the city.

"Hmm... Despite being nobles, they owe money to multiple merchant guilds and refuse to pay. They keep two male and twelve female servants and slaves in their household. After renting land to farmers, they forcibly plunder the fruits of their labor during harvest season. While others are starving, they insist on bathing every three days, simply because it makes them nobles..."

Kerry read out the crimes one by one, and the surrounding crowd was filled with righteous indignation, shouting for the punishment they wanted to see.

"Drown him!"

Burn him!

"Put honey on his feet and let the sheep lick him until he's itching to death!"

Listening to the shouts of the people around him, Kerry nodded in satisfaction, then looked at a judge beside him.

"Does the crime he committed warrant execution according to the laws of the Wind Kingdom?"

Although Kerry killed many people, there were very few literate people among the common people, so he had to retain some officials to temporarily take over their duties. Otherwise, if all the bureaucrats in the city died and there was no one to replace them, things like public order would fall into chaos.

However, these people are all military personnel. They can act like human beings when they are at work, but after get off work they still need to obey the unified management of the ninjas.

"This... Your Honor, this crime does not warrant death."

Under Kerry's watchful gaze, the judge nervously flipped through the book in his hands before giving this answer.

The laws of the Wind Kingdom are not perfect. They are only more reliable than those of judges like Wu Maiye, who seem to be using a divine scripture to make judgments, flipping to whatever page they see and deciding accordingly.

“Very good, take him to the market and behead him! Add a clause to the law that anyone who enslaves others for more than a week or whose number exceeds two people shall be beheaded. If it does not exceed the above two points, 90% of his property shall be given to the victims, and he shall be imprisoned for 10 years. The specific sentence may be increased depending on the severity of the circumstances.”

Kerry provided an answer.

“Yes…” the judge added this clause with trembling hands.

"Okay!"

"Whoosh!"

"Long live Lord Danzo!"

The surrounding crowd immediately erupted in cheers. The nobleman kept begging for mercy, but soon someone stepped forward and dragged him away.

Seeing the cheers of the people and their joy as if they had finally gotten their revenge, Wuhe Shamen in the crowd fell silent.

After hearing about those crimes, they also felt that the nobleman deserved to die and that the law should have been added long ago.

Oh no! Why do we feel like Shimura Danzo was right? It seems like his rule was actually better than that of a daimyo?

"Very good, the trial of nobles is over for today. Anyone with a wrongful conviction, please come up according to your number."

This is the second part of the day, which involves re-examining some old cases.

However, upon seeing the person who came up, Kerry paused for a moment, then chuckled somewhat.

He was an old steward of a noble family. Although he had been a bit arrogant and domineering his whole life, he had never done anything wrong and had no children. He was also an oppressed person, so Kerry did not punish him.

But after he came up, Kerry read his mind.

"You lowly ninja! Didn't you say you wanted democracy? Didn't you want equality? I'll see how you get out of here..."

Kerry almost lost his composure when he heard this. "Are you going to stir things up and make me open up my stomach to see how many bowls of noodles are inside?"

The old man went up on stage, and the judge next to Kerry asked him questions as usual.

"Whom are you going to sue, and what case are you going to overturn?"

Because of Kerry's requirement to serve the illiterate population, the legal documents for accusations are now written on-site by court staff based on the descriptions, saving people the trouble of paying someone to write them.

As a result, the old man stepped forward and pointed at Kerry.

"I must inform Lord Danzo Shimura!"

"Whoosh!" These words were like a 100-ton TNT bomb dropped into the water, and the two people who were quietly listening to him instantly erupted into a commotion.

However, the old man who caused all this commotion has no intention of stopping.

"Lord Danzo has seized our family's land and also taken away the lady of our mansion..."

That's right, this is the plan the nobles devised. Kerry wants fame, doesn't he? He wants equality, doesn't he? Then let him fall into a self-justification trap, making his fame equal to theirs, so that they…

Before he could even finish speaking, Kerry nodded in agreement.

“Everyone, remember this: no one is perfect. I admit that I did all of this. I seized the land, I abducted the people, I stole the money, and I beat the old lady. Yes, it was all done by me, Shimura Danzo. If I apologize, will you feel any better?”

If any other person does what I did, and you can beat them, remember to hang them. Don't create a personality cult.

Old butler: ? ? ?

Then the people below began to respond to his words in a cacophony of voices.

"The entire Land of Wind belongs to Lord Danzo. What's wrong with taking a piece of your land? Do I need to talk to you about taking what's mine?"

"That's right, she dares to try and steal your wife? Does she deserve it? If you're willing, I'll offer you my wife and daughter as well! Even if I steal her, it would be an honor for your wife!"

"Huh?" The old butler was dumbfounded. How come this is not what I imagined?

At that moment, Shamen and Wu in the crowd finally understood why it was said that no one would resist Kree.

In just a few days, Kerry's prestige in the capital had become unshakeable.

They simply couldn't understand why killing nobles and stipulating more income and reduced taxes for the common people could bring them such immense and unreasonable prestige.

Not only Shamen, but even the system in Kree's head was somewhat surprised.

[Holy crap, are these still the same shrewish Japanese characters from the Naruto world?]

Kerry was very interested in what it was saying.

"Oh? A Japanese-style troublemaker?"

The system responded.

Yes, the most abstract thing in Naruto is these troublemakers. They point fingers at their own Jinchuriki, who are like atomic bombs. Even Naruto, with his personality, admitted in Boruto that he probably wouldn't have been able to handle it if he hadn't met Iruka when he was a child.

Sakumo Hatake, who wore the Hokage's half-sleeve and successfully killed Sasori's parents to protect everyone, was also killed by the mouth of Tama.

Normally, when merchants hire ninjas, they boss them around and order them around. And in many storylines, after the ninjas protect the village, the villagers, embroiled in war, come out and accuse the ninjas of starting the conflict.

Chapter 223 People Understand Each Other

For example, if a hero uses the power of darkness to transform into a werewolf and fight against a demon army, and the demon army is defeated, the villagers will call him a monster and tell him to get lost.

In some superpowered worlds, after superpowered individuals protect the public, the public takes to the streets the next day to demand that the government forcibly control all superpowered individuals, imprisoning them and their families and releasing them only when needed.

This is just typical Japanese bully. Surprisingly, they didn't do anything to the host and even spoke up for him.

Kerry shook his head.

"That's easy, because I didn't start out as a savior to help them overthrow tyranny."

I appeared as Shimura Danzo, a notorious figure throughout the ninja world. He was an evil ninja from the Land of Fire who sought to usurp their rule and immediately began a massacre of the nobles upon arrival.

"Those unruly people you mentioned acted that way simply because they believed those people wouldn't dare kill them, but I would. If a Bai Cinan were to appear, he could raze any city in the world to the ground with a single finger, and those unruly people you mentioned would immediately become compliant citizens."

As Kerry spoke, he sighed, saying that these people just hadn't encountered any Chinese lunatics, or perhaps ninjas were just too easy to bully.

If ninjas were to adopt the values ​​of traditional fantasy novels, a single glance could be enough to bring about their death; not only would they be killed, but their entire family would be exterminated and executed along with them.

It's not like any ordinary citizen would suddenly go crazy and have their entire family wiped out with a single ninja technique. This kind of thing happens a few more times.

This will ensure that the people are more respectful to the ninjas than the last.

In the normal world, let alone ninjas, even in the Middle Ages, if a group of soldiers entered a village, they wouldn't care whether they were enemy or friendly forces; they would simply hide in the basement.

Although hiding was useless, it was mostly men who were forcibly recruited, while women were used as tools for venting their frustrations, and all their assets were converted into military funds.

As it turns out, the ninjas were quite professional. For example, Pain didn't go to the ninja villages; instead, he went directly to some city in the Land of Fire and performed Shinra Tensei, or had Konan fly around people's heads with a huge number of explosive tags, and said that if the countries stopped fighting, this would be the fate of all the countries' capitals.

Then there's no need for the tailed beast threat anymore; everyone will probably be more obedient than the last, and the daimyo will quickly issue a decree of self-reproach and disband the ninja village.

Soon the old butler was carried away; there was still much work to be done.

Kerry anticipates spending over ten days in the capital, after which rebellions against his new regime will likely begin to erupt in various regions. He will then need to travel around suppressing these rebellions and killing local gentry and wealthy landowners.

On the seventh day, the two people he had already discovered had come to his door.

Seeing the two revert to their original forms, Kerry was somewhat curious.

"You actually dare to come looking for me?"

The one who arrived was none other than the monk Wuhe.

The two nodded in agreement.

"Shimura Danzo, I must admit, you are indeed a despicable person."

Kree couldn't hold back from the very beginning. Are you guys really not afraid that I'll send you to be bred by Madara Uchiha?

What Kerry said next stunned him.

“But we’ve all seen what’s happened these past few days, and we’ve had many of our clansmen come and see for themselves. We all think those nobles are scoundrels.”

Both Shamen and Wu felt somewhat uncomfortable as they spoke.

The nobles were alright on the first day, but the more they went on, the more disgusted they felt.

Those nobles were truly despicable.

Such things include breaking people's limbs and stuffing them into vases, stealing other people's wives and making them watch in front of others, sending ninjas to kill merchants' entire families in order to monopolize an industry, and forcibly raising taxes to build a spectacle.

They really couldn't stand it anymore.

Of course, more importantly, they saw a way out for ninjas and for their clans.

Under Kree's leadership, the ninjas who surrendered to him established engineering teams.
