Naruto: After Unifying the Shinobi World, I Invaded the Parallel Shinobi World

Nagato thought of the Uchiha Senju, who treated everyone equally, whether they were from the Land of Water or the Land of Fire; he never showed favoritism towards any particular group.

Because of this, he often heard people at school complaining that the Uchiha Senju, being from the Land of Fire, treated people from other countries so well. They said they should have enslaved them or increased taxes to make their lives easier.

Many people privately curse the Uchiha Senju, saying he is ruthless towards his own people and has no regard for blood ties.

"Then why don't we elect one person from each country? And then distribute resources evenly?"

Those around him burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Guess what the Five Kage do?"

"Do you think the five Kage didn't discuss things before the war started? Didn't they all fight because of unequal distribution of benefits? I'm stronger than you, why should I listen to you?"

The people around him drank and laughed, ignoring Nagato.

Nagato then remembered what the Emperor had said.

"The ninja village system is a cancer on the world!"

Looking at the people around him, he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Standing on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers, his mood soured as he looked at the muddy, potholed road.

You must understand that within the empire, not only between provinces, but even between villages, the roads were all fortified by earth-style ninjas.

Countless people within the empire yearn to return to the era when ninja villages and daimyo jointly ruled the country.

For them, it was a romantic and wonderful era.

The consciousness and bonds between people are like a raging fire, never dying out.

In that era, two people with no blood ties could sacrifice for each other.

Neither the shadow nor the daimyo can control everything; they cooperate with each other, and the country is thriving.

Everyone is free and happy, the air smells sweet, and the whole country is not as oppressive as an empire, where everyone is under so much pressure that they are on the verge of collapse, and countless people are so caught up in the pressure that they want to commit suicide.

He had once fantasized that he was one of them.

Now that he stands on this land, he is plunged into deep self-doubt.

In the distance, countless people had sallow complexions, each carrying a small bundle on their back, their eyes filled with numbness towards life.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

They look like they're fleeing a disaster.

Who exactly said this was a romantic and wonderful era?

Nagato wanted to ask what these people were doing, but they only glanced at him, who was dressed neatly and had an elegant demeanor, before frowning and quickening their pace.

Having no other option, he bought some food and gave it to these people before he received a reply.

They were fleeing.

The Land of Rivers is bordered by the Land of Wind to the left and the Land of Fire to the right.

A sandstorm, a once-in-a-decade event, swept in from the Land of Wind, while the country was already suffering from a chronic drought. Most of the people in the Land of Rivers had lost their entire harvest for a year, and famine had struck. They had no choice but to migrate to the Land of Fire.

Nagato frowned, clearly puzzled.

Why is this land of rivers so vulnerable?

When a sandstorm comes, is there no prophecy or weather ninja to foresee the impending disaster?

Why did no one stop the sandstorm the moment it appeared? Why make things so complicated when ten Wind Release Jonin could easily handle it?

What does "perennial drought" mean?

You suffer from a severe drought year after year. You could easily fill a river with just a thousand water-style ninjas!

If you want a permanent solution, you could easily extract groundwater by having hundreds of Earth Release ninjas burrow underground day and night!

Why make such a simple thing so complicated? Why is no one caring about the tens of thousands of people fleeing the country?

What are the leaders of the River Country doing?

"Are your leaders inactive? You can ask water-style ninjas to fill up the rivers, earth-style ninjas to dig wells in your area, and wind-style ninjas to disperse the sandstorms!"

Chapter 4 The Difference Between Two Worlds

"Your Majesty, a severe drought has struck Sichuan Province, and massive sandstorms have swept across many areas."

Tsunade held a report to her chest, completely ignoring whether the giant lightning bolt, already crushed and deformed, was uncomfortable.

"Don't press it down, it'll explode if you do!"

Tsunade smiled slightly and placed the document on the table.

"I know~"

I'm referring to that report.

Senju Uchiha smiled helplessly as he smelled the alcohol on Tsunade.

"Went drinking again?"

"What? Are you going to criticize me? What kind of punishment do you want to give me this time?"

"Okay, drink less, it's bad for your health."

He didn't understand; because of his appearance, Tsunade's fate had already been changed.

My younger brother, Nawaki, didn't die, and my friend, Kato Dan, is still alive.

But Tsunade still developed the habit of drinking.

"Cough cough!"

Terumi Miyabi walked in with some documents, coughing as she looked at the two people who had been flirting in the office.

Do you want to join too?

Tsunade extended an invitation

Terumi rolled her eyes at her.

"Now is not the time, Lord Senju. Regarding the severe drought in Kawano Province, I need your signature here. I have already drafted a solution."

Although the three of them had played happily here more than once, the priority right now is to treat the disaster victims.

Senju took the document and began to read it, his brows furrowing slightly.

"The sandstorm has been dealt with by a team of Wind Release Jonin. Well done."

"To ensure the continued irrigation of farmland and the livelihoods of the people in the province of Kawa, we hereby approve the deployment of 1,000 Water Release Jonin to carry out the work of filling the river with water. In addition, we need 100 Earth Release Jonin to open up and reinforce the river channels and dig wells in various severely affected areas."

"Does the dispatch of over a thousand Jonin require my signature? Isn't this a waste of time and manpower? This process needs to be optimized. I shouldn't have to sign off on such trivial matters anymore. Provincial governors have the authority to make decisions on matters concerning people's livelihoods, and neighboring provinces must cooperate unconditionally!"

"Yes!"

Terumi nodded

"Have the supplies been approved?"

Uchiha Senju frowned as he held the document.

"The first batch of temporary emergency supplies has been delivered by Watergate and his team. More supplies are on their way by Deidara's Clay Bird Squad and are expected to arrive tonight."

Tsunade replied

"That's strange. Didn't this kid say it would affect his art studies?"

"After learning about the disaster victims' situation, he volunteered to step forward, but his research on nuclear escape may have to come to an end."

Tsunade continued:

"The drought in Sichuan Province has occurred several times in recent years. Previously, we built an interdimensional portal but didn't address the problem. Now, we need to solve this issue once and for all."

"The empire has been established for twenty years, and it's a joke that there are still people going hungry."

"Contact Dahe and have him lead a group of people to Sichuan Province to plant trees. The oasis project in Wind Province, which had been stalled, will now resume."

"Also, in the future, we should prioritize prevention over things like the severe drought in the Land of Rivers. We shouldn't wait until something happens and then frantically search for people and food. From now on, all water and earth-style jonin who are about to graduate from the Ninja Academy should be sent to the Land of Rivers for internships. If a severe drought occurs in their assigned area, their graduation will be delayed."

"Yes!"

The two women recorded

Parallel Ninja World

"Water Release ninja? How much does that cost? It can't be cheap, right?"

"Young man, you're very knowledgeable. Do you know how much it will cost? To be honest, I'm an old woman, and I really don't want to leave my hometown. If it's not too expensive, I'll pool my money with the villagers to hire a Water Release ninja."

Nagato's throat tightened, and her mouth felt dry.

"The daily income of a Water Release Jonin, when averaged out, is equivalent to your monthly income!"

He calculated it according to the salary of a Jonin within the Imperial system.

"That's not much! Everyone in our village can chip in. Can you help us contact the Water Release ninja you mentioned?"

Nagato hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I'm afraid you can't afford it. To solve the severe drought in your country, you'd need at least a thousand Water Release Jonin working continuously for a week."

Before he could finish speaking, the old woman fell straight down.

The person next to him immediately shoved him aside, their face full of anger.

Is it really meaningful for you to tease us like this?

"Why is your heart so wicked at such a young age?"

"You even make fun of poor people like us? Are you even human?"

Nagato was puzzled.

"Why don't your daimyo care about you? Doesn't your country have daimyo?"

The person next to him sneered.

"Daming? They have so much money they could immigrate themselves, why should they care about us?"

Some people were hurling insults at Nagato, while others, seeing his utter lack of common sense, instantly realized he was a young master from some powerful family. They then put on fawning expressions and tried to sell him their children.

The gentle and soft-hearted Nagato broke down.
