Uchiha's personal opinion

Therefore, from any perspective, if the ninja world wants to gain the upper hand in future world clashes, it must strike first.

On the other side of the world passage, Uchiha Rumbu, having finally re-established his starting point after navigating the transit station, was leading three cruisers that needed to return to port for maintenance, silently awaiting passage orders.

After another inspection, Ashina Uzumaki reported, "Your Majesty, the inspection has confirmed that it is safe to proceed!"

Orochimaru nodded and signed his name on the safety inspection report before handing it to Akimichi Torifu, the director of the Safety Supervision Bureau.

Before obtaining this position as director, Akimichi Torifu thought he was just a figurehead, never expecting that one day he would have the opportunity to make his mark at such an important moment.

Although he couldn't understand the various terms in the safety inspection report, Akimichi Torifu carefully read through the report before signing his name.

"Your Majesty, the Safety Supervision Bureau has confirmed that there is no error!"

Akimichi Torifu said seriously.

"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Wind-Taker..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu responded very gently.

While Ashina Uzumaki's report is also credible, his words were based on his status as a 'descendant' of the Uzumaki clan, while the report signed by Torifu Akimichi represents the 'professional judgment' of the Shinobi World Government.

Although it may seem like mere formalities, for a newly established regime, it represents an order that can unite everyone—even the strongest emperor in the ninja world exercises his power of governance within the framework of the ninja world government.

Therefore, the upcoming war will be the will of the Ninja World Government, the resolution of the Ninja World United Council, and the long-cherished wish of all the people of the Ninja World!

Of course, this is just an illusion.

However, it is not impossible for illusions to become a consensus.

Uchiha Tokumitsu suppressed his inner thoughts and turned his gaze to the first expeditionary vanguard, which was fully prepared for departure.

They were all elites drawn from the active-duty ninja army, and their skills encompassed combat, interrogation, medical treatment, sealing, and even engineering construction—areas that ninjas were familiar with. They had also undergone half a month of training beforehand. Upon arriving in the New World, their primary task would be to join forces with the task force to establish a forward base and conduct various reconnaissance activities while interrogating existing prisoners.

In addition, there are economic experts from the joint corporation—they will be responsible for surveying the resources of the New World and planning its development; at the very least, they will find suitable fishing grounds so that the fishing fleets of the ninja world can go there for large-scale fishing.

After all, the most fundamental reason why a war can continue is that it can continuously generate benefits from the war.

"Remember, once you arrive in the New World, your first priority is to arrange for torture ninjas to compile the New World's language into teaching materials through interrogation. At the same time, send spies to investigate the distribution of power and strength in various regions..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu gave instructions to Uchiha Shiina, who was to serve as the commander-in-chief of the vanguard.

Although the declaration made at the Ninja World Council was extremely brutal, Uchiha Tokumitsu was still very cautious in his actual actions.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that the ninja world is not yet fully prepared, but the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy is also a major factor.

Furthermore, ninjas are accustomed to taking action only when they have sufficient intelligence, so they did not think that Uchiha Tokumitsu's move was anticlimactic. They simply believed that His Majesty the Holy Emperor was accumulating strength to launch a thunderous attack.

"Understood, language is the most fundamental prerequisite for infiltrating the enemy."

Uchiha Shiina also answered solemnly.

This time, the expeditionary vanguard under his command consisted of more than 3,000 elite ninjas, all of whom were core ninjas from the Shogunate era. They were the backbone of the dynasty that could not be easily wasted on the battlefield. It was for this reason that Uchiha Tokumitsu appointed his cousin, whose strength was relatively average, as the commander-in-chief.

"Go...and be sure to return safely."

Uchiha Tokumitsu patted his cousin on the shoulder in encouragement, then nodded to Orochimaru.

Although it was a pity that he couldn't be a member of the first advance team, Orochimaru still dutifully directed the activation of the sealing technique, and a beam of light shot into the storm under the influence of chakra.

Subsequently, the task force in another world sent back a telegram: "Docking successful!"

This beam of light will also serve as a beacon for future navigation. The vanguard will build a lighthouse at the location where the beam is projected, and use it as the starting point to guide the ninja world in launching its expedition.

"Gentlemen!"

Uchiha Shiina roused himself and approached the vanguard army, who were lined up in battle formation: "Board the ships and set sail!"

"We will not fail in our mission!"

The advance party shouted in unison, then boarded the warship in an orderly fashion. After the whistle sounded, the first exploration ship slowly sailed into the new world amidst the storm.

What followed was another period of silent waiting.

Nearly ten minutes later, the task force sent back a telegram: "The exploration ship has successfully sailed out of the hurricane barrier!"

Everyone, including Uchiha Tokumitsu, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Task force personnel on rotation return to port!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu immediately issued the order.

Nearly ten minutes later, three tall ironclad cruisers appeared in the storm!

This also means that communication between the two worlds is completely unimpeded!

"set off!"

At Uchiha Shiina's command, the ships carrying the advance force sounded their horns and slowly sailed into the storm.

"This is a small step toward a new world, but a giant leap for the ninja world!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke to Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Yomo.

"From now on, the ninja world will focus its efforts outward, and devote all the energy that was used for internal strife to the development of the new world."

Sakumo Hatake deeply agreed.

"The eternal prosperity of the ninja world is all thanks to Your Majesty."

Uchiha Yoshikazu complimented.

For the ninja world, which has already entered a deadly infighting phase, every bit of resource obtained from the New World is a precious addition.

"Using the kunai of ninjas as a plow for the common people, they seized the land."

Uchiha Tokumitsu uttered this slogan, which quickly became a sensation in the ninja world, and his gaze toward the hurricane barrier was filled with anticipation.

……

Upon arriving in the New World, Uchiha Shiina immediately contacted the task force ships stationed at the edge of the Calm Belt and arranged for personnel to draw nautical charts based on radio wave positioning and the route along the way.

However, the abundance of the new world truly broadened his horizons.

"...Such a big fish was blown ashore on the boat by the wind without even being caught!"

Uchiha Shiina received the same treatment as Uchiha Rumbo during his voyage.

As the ship sailed, various large fish were constantly being swept up by the wind and waves and thrown onto the deck.

"This is a gift from the new world!"

The vanguard ninjas all believed this was the best possible sign, meaning that the ninja world's expedition to the new world would be invincible!

"If we're going by the standards of the ninja world, every sea we've sailed through would qualify as a top-quality fishing ground..."

"That's what the economists at the company said."

"...Is this really true?"

Uchiha Shiina was taken aback upon hearing this.

"How could this be fake?"

The economist scoffed in dissatisfaction: "I, Dazner, am a veteran expert who joined the company during the United Fisheries era!"

"I was wrong!"

Uchiha Shiina immediately put on a friendly expression: "However, even if the New World has abundant fishery resources, it's impossible for every place to meet the standards of a high-quality fishing ground, right?"

"If that's the case, then isn't the ninja world too barren...?"

Another advance ninja who was fishing casually remarked.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he pulled up another big fish!

"Look, even with this guy's fishing skills, he can still catch fish, which completely proves how bountiful the waters of the New World are!"

Economist Dazner pointed at the advance ninja who had caught the big fish and said, "In the ninja world, someone of your skill level would only be fish food!"

"Fishing isn't just about catching fish... it's about cultivating one's character... hunting is a man's romance..."

The advance ninja blushed and defended himself.

"Also, look under the boat..."

Tazna pointed to the sea and said.

After drawing Uchiha Shiina's attention, he casually tossed a large loaf of bread into the sea.

Then, countless large fish suddenly leaped out of the once calm sea, and for a moment the surface of the sea was filled with silvery scales as they fought for food!

Uchiha Shiina was almost stunned!

"The command ship has specialized fish-finding equipment; it's the same in all the seas we've passed through..."

Tazna, who had been shocked countless times along the way, calmly said.

As an employee of the United Corporation, who hails from the Land of Waves, Tazuna is extremely knowledgeable about the fishing grounds in the East Blue of the Ninja World.

Although the fishing grounds in the ninja world have maintained a high yield, this is based on the continuous upgrading of fishing equipment. Moreover, as the number of fishing boats of the United Company increases, the number of fish that can be caught with each net cast is decreasing.

As an ordinary citizen with expert status, Dazner believes that this is due to overfishing leading to the depletion of fishery resources. Unless fishing efforts are reduced, there will only be fewer and fewer fish in the sea, and fishing profits will only decrease.

Therefore, before his departure, Dazner had envisioned proposing a 'fishing ban' system to gradually restore fish populations through the regulation of the ocean.

But after entering the New World, the idea of ​​a fishing ban was completely forgotten.

Ban my ass! The real solution is to get all the fishing boats to the New World!

With such abundant fishery resources, even a fool could own a ship and catch a full hold of big fish!

Moreover, with all the fishing boats moving to the New World, it will be beneficial to the recovery of the local fishery resources in the ninja world, and there will be no need to implement the annoying fishing ban. As for individual fishing behavior, it is equivalent to feeding the fish, which will only help the fish ecosystem recover!

"As expected, the new world is the future of the ninja world..."

Uchiha Shiina murmured to himself, feeling slightly shocked.

"To let such abundant resources go to waste is simply outrageous! The natives of the New World are really outrageous!"

Then, Uchiha Shiina suddenly felt a surge of indignation from the depths of his heart: "If it were us, we would have caught all the fish fry in this area to extinction!"

"..."

Tazner was too lazy to continue the conversation.

He wanted to send a telegram to the joint venture company to request that the fishing boats be sent to the New World first!
