People are devouring everything; I have a bucket list.

In front of Master Yuan and Mei Terumi, Xiao Yang gave his arrangements:

"First, abolish the 'life-or-death elimination system' of the Ninja Academy: Starting from this year, the graduation assessment for Ninja Academy students will be based on mission cooperation, tactical theory, and ninjutsu application. It is strictly forbidden to use the killing of classmates as an assessment component."

"Second, reform the Chunin selection rules: From now on, the Chunin Exams held by Kirigakure will be strictly prohibited from using 'legitimate killing of fellow villagers' as a standard of measurement. Anyone who intentionally causes the death of a teammate or fellow villager during the exam will be punished in accordance with the village's laws."

"Third, all ninjas and bloodline limit families who were exiled or listed as 'unstable factors' due to the past 'Blood Mist' policy will be pardoned and welcomed back after review and found to have committed no major treason."

Upon hearing Xiao Yang's three Water Shadow orders, Master Yuan opened his mouth, then revealed a gratified smile.

The feeling was like standing among a group of fools and finally seeing a smart person reflected in the water.

"In addition, Kirigakure will launch a 'Special Logistics Operation' next."

"Establish a 'Military Food Order': Resources will be allocated uniformly within the village, with priority given to ensuring the smooth flow of transportation channels to the front lines. No individual or force may obstruct or withhold supplies without cause."

"The goal is to more than double the supply of materials to the front-line ninja forces within a month."

Upon hearing this, Master Yuan stroked his chin and then stated:

"The Godaime."

"I agree with all the strategies you've proposed, but the key issue now is how to allocate the funding needed for special logistical operations?"

"You may not know this, but the Daimyo is quite dissatisfied with Kirigakure lately."

"Da Ming is dissatisfied?" Xiao Yang asked curiously. "What is he dissatisfied with?"

In the Naruto world, although only ninjas possess extraordinary powers, it is the daimyo of various countries who govern the people.

According to official sources, the Five Kage are the leaders of ninja forces employed by the daimyo of various countries.

Xiao Yang genuinely didn't understand this distorted political system.

However, before he has properly reorganized Kirigakure, he will not reveal his attitude towards the daimyo and will instead focus on gathering intelligence.

And Yuan Shi was a very good source of intelligence.

"It's mainly because of the fourth generation."

Master Yuan paused, a strange embarrassment showing on his aged face:

"Before the Fourth Hokage came to power, in order to abolish the Blood Mist policy and reform the Kirigakure ninja training mechanism, he asked the Daimyo for a sum of money to support him."

"Ahem, during the support process, the Fourth Hokage used some methods that the Daimyo found rather uncomfortable."

"Of course, most importantly, a year after the Blood Mist policy was canceled, the Fourth Hokage restarted the Blood Mist and asked the Daimyo for another sponsorship."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang's expression froze for a moment, then his face twitched a few times.

"Is it even possible to play like this?"

Although it sounds abstract, in reality, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was able to come to power entirely because he wanted to overthrow the Blood Mist policy.

With this concept at its core, Mei Terumi, Suigetsu Hozuki, Zabuza Momochi, Juzo Biwa, and Raiga Kurosuki are all supporters of Yagura Karatachi.

It can be said that the Yuanshi lineage, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen lineage, and Yagura Karatachi reached a consensus on abolishing the Blood Mist.

This is also why Yagura Karatachi overthrew the Third Mizukage and took over.

With the entire village's elite forces supporting him, it would be strange if he didn't win.

The problem is that a year after Yagura took office, his attitude suddenly reversed 180 degrees and he restarted Blood Mist.

This is really dangerous!

As for the daimyo, I tolerated it when the fourth daimyo wanted to overthrow the third daimyo, overturn the Blood Mist policy, demand money and food, and even threatened me.

But a year later, you said you wanted to restart Blood Mist, and you wanted money and food. What, are you messing with me?

At this point, Master Yuan explained in a relatively tactful way:

"The daimyo has a lot of complaints about the Fourth Daimyo. If we want to expand our supply lines, the daimyo might not support us."

"In particular, the Fourth Daimyo went too far in his attempt to restart the Blood Mist, which has left the Daimyo still bedridden and the entire Daimyo Prefecture in chaos."

"Therefore, we may not be able to count on the daimyo's support for the time being."

Xiao Yang's lips twitched upon hearing this.

As expected of Obito Uchiha?

In this Fourth Shinobi World War, there are still ruthless people who want to kill Daimyo. It turns out that they tasted the sweetness of Kirigakure and knew that Daimyo would drop gold coins, so they came up with this kind of trick.

Goodness, he actually learned it!

"A famous name..." Xiao Yang clicked his tongue.

To be honest, this is a really difficult matter to handle.

At least Xiao Yang couldn't bring himself to shamelessly scam the victim who had already been scammed twice and was now seriously ill and bedridden.

"Then let's put aside the matter of demanding payment from the daimyo for now and try to find a solution ourselves."

"Come on, let's discuss how the three of us can acquire more supplies."

Upon hearing this, Master Yuan and Terumi Mei fell silent.

The two tacitly ignored Xiao Yang's mention of demanding payment and focused their attention on the supplies.

Without relying on powerful figures, how will we manage the supply of materials?

These traditional ninjas would never know how to do this!

At this moment, seeing that both Yuan Shi and Terumi Mei had fallen silent, Xiao Yang's eyelids twitched wildly a few times:

"Can't you think of a solution?"

"Okay, if I can't figure it out, I'll find a way to do it myself. You guys just need to do your jobs."

Xiao Yang stood up and took a deep breath.

Then, before the two could react, Xiao Yang had already stood up and walked out of the tent.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi immediately gave chase: "Fifth Hokage, where are you going?"

"Go and find a way to solve the food problem."

As Xiao Yang spoke, he pulled open the tent flap and walked outside.

The place he was going to wasn't far, just two hundred meters away, where he lay down in front of the Three-Tailed Isobu in front of the forest.

When Mei Terumi, who had chased after Xiao Yang, saw him approaching the Three-Tails Isobu, she was momentarily stunned, but she still quickly followed.

At this moment, Xiao Yang flashed to the front of the Three-Tailed Isobu, glanced up at the giant beast that was over fifty meters tall, and said directly:

"How about we talk?"

The three-tailed Isobu, which had been keeping its eyes closed, slowly opened its single eye, glanced down at Xiao Yang, and exhaled a puff of white smoke from its nostrils, but did not speak.

Xiao Yang didn't mind at all. He simply found a large rock, sat down opposite Isobu, and said:

"I don't plan to find you another Jinchūriki."

Upon hearing this, Isobu's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the human in front of him.

At this moment, Xiao Yang said again:

"I can also use my authority as the Mizukage to ensure that Kirigakure does not interfere with your life and protect you from being entangled by the previous Uchiha clan members."

Isobu then gave Xiao Yang a deep look before speaking:

"You're trying to trick me into risking my life?"

Isobu sensed a hint of 'deception' in Xiao Yang's words.

Although turtles don't lie, people might lie to turtles!

"Why would I need to lie to you?" Xiao Yang chuckled, crossing his legs and saying to Isobu, "While tailed beasts are the super weapons of the ninja villages, do you think I, with my strength, need you to risk your life on the battlefield?"

Upon hearing this, Isobu thought it made sense.

Although he didn't know much about Xiao Yang as a person, he was aware of Xiao Yang's abilities.

That monstrous strength, comparable to that of a tailed beast, can also transform into fire and into a strange giant bird.

With these abilities combined, Isobu felt that Xiao Yang was more like a tailed beast than he was.

If he didn't know that the Six Paths Elder hadn't created any bird-like tailed beasts, he would have suspected that Xiao Yang was his compatriot.

Therefore, judging from his abilities, it's unlikely that Xiao Yang was lying to him.

Xiao Yang can do almost anything that tailed beasts can do, and he can also do things that tailed beasts cannot do.

In this situation, it's indeed better to use the tailed beast himself than to have it act out of control.

"What do you want to do?"

At this moment, Xiao Yang stroked his chin and said with a smile:

"Aquatic animals like you must be very good at catching fish, right?"

At this moment, Terumi Mei and Genji, who had rushed over to listen in, were both stunned.

Sending the tailed beasts to catch fish?

What on earth was the Fifth Hokage thinking?!
