Madara, let's change the world together!

The administrators responsible for observing and assessing the riot were documenting what was happening.

They discovered that a small number of civilians seemed to be very excited about the killing, and even took advantage of the chaos to loot property in the nobles' territories, completely disregarding the leaders of the group.

Their rebellion was not for their own liberation, but to take advantage of the chaos to plunder.

Those who disobeyed orders were arrested, and they were still indignant, accusing their leader of wanting to seize the property of the nobles.

They did not believe the leader's prior promise to give them half of the nobles' property, with the other half used to develop their territory.

Perhaps it is this tendency to judge others by one's own standards that makes them disbelieve in the ideas they preach.

And there are countless similar examples.

Many of those who participated in this liberation struggle were heartbroken.

For example, Yahiko and Nagato.

They truly realized how difficult it is to guide people.

No matter how good the environment is, there will always be a group of people who want to take shortcuts, and there will always be a group of people who want to do things that harm others.

That's why strong laws are needed to regulate people's behavior.

This practical teaching experience impacted everyone.

In this environment, Kiyoshi Gen demanded that they restore the spirit of the people and prevent distorted ideas from polluting those who truly wanted liberation.

On the nobles' side, when their territories were actually captured by commoners, they panicked completely.

Instead of focusing on plundering the wealth of a few, they seriously organized an army to suppress the rebels.

but

They discovered that the encirclement and suppression operations were always detected in advance by the rebels, and then they were targeted instead.

Even the hired ninjas were incredibly weak, often dying under a hail of blades before they could even unleash their full power.

The officials of the Land of Water couldn't understand why these ninjas had suddenly become so incompetent.

They suggested to the daimyo that the Hidden Mist ninja, who were among the guardian ninja, go to the Hidden Mist Village to request reinforcements, promising them money as a reward.

Then, this clone of Madara, disguised as a guardian ninja of Kirigakure, disappeared shortly after leaving the Daimyo's castle and did not return for three days.

As a result, the Daimyo of the Land of Water flew into a rage and berated all the important officials.

The officials were also helpless. They knew that the emperor was very anxious, so anxious that he had stopped having fun and was no longer in the mood to find someone to serve him in bed.

They didn't even look for any of the concubines.

As for the daimyo who loves to play around, he has neither a wife nor an heir.

After all, he was only twenty-four years old and had been appointed in an emergency after the previous daimyo had an accident.

Urgent!

The entire city of Daimyo was in a state of panic. The city was filled with patrolling guards and hired ninjas from small ninja villages, causing widespread fear among the civilians.

This atmosphere affected normal production, and prices began to soar.

The already fragile economy of the Water Kingdom has been further exacerbated.

Many people began to complain about the protests that were disrupting their normal lives.

Inside the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure, Kiyoi Gen kept a close eye on the situation throughout the Land of Water.

Although Hatsuhi Castle could end this battle in a day with its strength, what he sought was not something that could be obtained simply by conquering the Land of Water.

"source!"

"I've brought the person you wanted."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the office door was pushed open.

Otsutsuki Aino led in a richly dressed man.

The man looked nervous and bowed slightly as soon as he entered, expressing his respect.

"Master Yuan."

Kiyoshi put the documents away and sized up the man.

He is twenty-seven years old, the head of the Donghe family, and also the lord of a territory on the border of the Land of Water.

However, this lord is an anomaly among the nobles of the Land of Water. He is able to get along well with his people and govern his territory well, so that no one has ever starved to death.

Therefore, his territory was one of the few places without riots.

"Donghe Gui, is that the name?"

"Yes!"

Dong He Gui raised his head. As a nobleman, he was well-mannered and handsome.

"If you're willing to come here, that means you've agreed to my conditions, right?"

"Yes!"

Donghe Gui's smile seemed somewhat forced.

He's not stupid, how could he possibly refuse?

With Kirigakure captured, the Land of Water is now firmly in this man's grasp.

He only needs to cooperate with Qingjingyuan to ensure the safety of his family, retain a portion of the family's wealth, and even become a central official in the Water Domain in the future.

Comparing the two, he certainly knows which one to choose.

"I heard that you are familiar with the laws and geography of the Water Kingdom, and also know about places rich in resources."

"Yes."

“When I was a teenager, I traveled all over the Water Kingdom, interacted with other nobles, learned about business, and had experience in managing territories.”

"Fishing, timber, mining, and farming—people on my territory know these things, and I also have a little knowledge of them."

Wow~

If it's true, that would be a pleasant surprise.

"Let's talk."

Kiyoshi stood up and invited Higashikawa Kei to sit on the sofa in the corner.

The two sat facing each other, with Bai Miao and Aino standing behind Kiyoshi Gen.

Dong He Gui was very nervous; he knew that perhaps a turning point in his fate had arrived.

As a minor nobleman, he was excluded from the core of power in the Water Kingdom and could only be a minor lord who didn't have to worry about food and clothing.

If I am valued by this important person this time, I might rise to great heights in the future.

"It's alright. Just tell me briefly about the problems you've encountered in governing your territory and how you solved them."

"Ok!"

Donghe Gui began to speak eloquently.

He recounted how he took over the territory from his deceased father, how he gained the support of the people, and how he developed the territory's economy.

Kiyoshi listened attentively and could tell that the other person still harbored prejudice against ordinary people.

However, what he discriminated against was the shortsightedness and lack of wisdom among commoners, not their bloodline.

Overall, it's still acceptable.

Half an hour later, Kiyoshi nodded.

"Well, yes."

"Next, please cooperate with us in the post-war reconstruction after conquering the Land of Water. I will arrange for you to assist in the work."

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, sir!"

Donghe Gui breathed a sigh of relief.

It's been approved this time, right?

Kiyoshi Gen assigned Higashikawa Kei to other people's side and observed the person's detailed information on the system panel.

He is a useful person.

"Yuan, what should we do next?"
