In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

"Today is truly the happiest day of my life."

"Of course, I would be even happier if I could share this cake with more people."

"Take out my future dessert allowance and make a big cake so that everyone in Red Maple Castle can have some."

"Yes!"

Several people stood up.

Liszt smiled and nodded, turning his chair to look at the beautiful scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

His gaze passed over the red maple forest within Red Maple Castle, then over the high stone walls, and looked towards the winding river in the distance.

Under the bright sunshine, everything felt incredibly comfortable.

Liszt picked up his coffee and remarked.

"With you all, with this territory, what more could I ask for?"

[Ding! You have activated the territory building system!]

"Cough cough cough cough."

Just as Liszt was about to take a sip of coffee, he coughed.

What did he just hear?

When Lister reopened his eyes, he saw a rudimentary system panel.

The screen reads "Territory Building System," and the interface is even in the loading stage.

Lister glanced at the maids beside him; they clearly hadn't seen the panel.

？ ！！

Is it an automatic unlocking system for adults?!

Lister felt the sunlight in front of him was even warmer.

He was already extremely satisfied with how smoothly things had started, but he never expected to receive a system as well.

Wouldn't that solve all the problems in Red Maple Territory?

Let's see what functions this system has first.

After the panel refreshed, a casual glance revealed a detailed information interface for the territory, just like playing a game.

Huh? Is that a "Recruit" button in the bottom right corner?

Lister glanced at the description beside him.

Wow~ He can even recruit people from all over the world, including pretty girls from various anime that he is familiar with.

Nice!

Countless beautiful women automatically flashed through Liszt's mind.

Subconsciously, the corners of his mouth turned up, making him look somewhat lewd.

Let's see if we can customize the recruitment targets. Wouldn't it be better if we could recruit young children and train them from a young age?

So, Lister used his mind to control the mouse and clicked the "Recruit" button.

[Beep! Click click click click click!]

Why is the interface shaking? Something seems off.

The system has malfunctioned, some functions are missing, and simplification is underway.

The system name has been changed to "Territory Building System (Youth Edition)".

? ? ? ? ?

Countless question marks appeared above Liszt's head.

[You have been recruited by the host.]

Ok?

Before Lister could even figure out what was going on, he saw through the floor-to-ceiling window that a spatial portal had appeared in the open space inside Red Maple Castle.

The portal opened, and an old man with white hair walked out, his eyes still the kind with red tomoe.

Lister's smile froze.

Then, he saw the guards training around the open space running toward the white-haired old man with their long spears.

!!!

Good luck! ! !

My territory is going to be destroyed!!!

Chapter 2: Old Man with the Spotted Head Feels Very Interesting

Madara Uchiha, or more accurately, Madara Uchiha in his old age, now feels a bit confused.

He was just underground in the dark, how did he suddenly appear on the surface? And... why are the architectural styles and people's appearances all so unfamiliar?

The castle layout was unlike anything he'd ever seen before, and several women with ears on their heads, dressed in brown leather armor, were running towards him, carrying iron swords and spears.

ear?

Madara Uchiha focused a little chakra on his eyes and immediately saw the energy flowing within the bodies of the five female soldiers.

The ears are real, and the body structure differs slightly from that of humans.

Hmm? This energy isn't chakra?

Madara Uchiha judged from his intuition that the energy and chakra within these soldiers were similar but also very different.

A resilient and ever-changing energy.

But these five women all had too little energy.

The strongest woman among them possessed an energy level that was at most equivalent to a Chunin.

Too weak.

In just a moment, Madara Uchiha made the above judgment and took in the entire surrounding environment for observation.

"who are you?!"

A tall woman wearing leather armor and trousers, with round, brown bear ears, drew her sword from her waist and questioned the white-haired old man who had suddenly appeared in the inner court.

Four other female soldiers with bear ears, wielding long spears and dressed similarly but more simply, surrounded Uchiha Madara, pointing their spears at him.

"Where is this place?"

Madara Uchiha paid no attention to the weapon pointing at him, and simply pointed his withered old face at the captain of the guard.

"This is Red Maple Castle, where the lord of Red Maple Town resides."

"No entry without permission!"

"What is your purpose in entering Red Maple Castle? If you don't tell me, I will arrest you immediately!"

Captain Reina swung her sword, the tip of which was less than half a meter from Madara Uchiha's throat.

Madara Uchiha looked at Rena casually, his gaze as if he were looking down on a lowly ant.

'Alright, let's use illusion magic to subdue these people first, then investigate slowly.'

Just as Madara Uchiha was about to use his Sharingan genjutsu, a force suddenly sealed his chakra and transmitted a message.

Any malicious behavior without permission is strictly prohibited!

???

What being could so easily seal off his power?

Madara Uchiha frowned instantly.

In that case, wouldn't the only option be to dodge?

Just then, the loud sound of shattering glass drew everyone's attention.

"Stop it!!!"

A figure kicked open the floor-to-ceiling glass window and jumped towards Uchiha Madara.

"well???"

The guards, including Lena, stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with panic, seemingly hesitant about whether to run up and catch her.

"Lena, all of you, put down your weapons and stop right now!"

Lister shouted as he fell.

He fell from a height of fifteen meters, and the moment his legs touched the ground, he flew like a gust of wind to Lena's front, directly pushing away Lena's hands that were gripping the sword and protecting her behind him.

Lena instinctively replied, "But!"

"There's no such thing as 'but' or 'cannot'!"

"I am the lord here! Obey my orders!"

Lena was utterly bewildered by Lister's angry rebuke and reluctantly sheathed her sword, while the other four guards also sheathed their spears.

Madara Uchiha observed the suddenly appearing lord, his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan radiating an ominous aura.

The energy level within this leader is close to that of a Jonin, but it is still pitifully weak.

Only then did Liszt recover from the shock that had struck him like a bolt from the blue.

Fortunately, he decisively kicked the glass window and jumped down. If his personal guards had angered Madara Uchiha, his territory might have been hit by a meteorite in the next second.

Phew... Red Maple Town has temporarily escaped the crisis of annihilation.

Lister absolutely hated the system.

It's one thing if they don't send over a beautiful girl, but they actually sent over an extremely powerful and ruthless villain. How is he supposed to deal with him?

After a moment's hesitation, Lister gritted his teeth, met Madara Uchiha's gaze, and bowed slightly in greeting.
