Madara, let's change the world together!

"The first phase of the renovation over there has been completed."

"Ah, okay, thank you for your help."

Speaking of which, Madara's Wood Release clones were researching how to use the Dragon Vein to cultivate natural energy.

With his talent, he should be able to finish it soon.

At this moment, Sasha took a small step back, standing side by side with Kiyoshi Gen, with less than half a meter between them.

Let nature take its course, let nature take its course.

Inside the Japanese-style room in the Land of Water, Gen Kiyoi, who was telling a story to Mei Terumi who was listening attentively, was unaware of what his two shadow clones had done.

"Xiao Ming, I plan to arrange for you and a group of people to study at the school in Chu Ri City for two years."

"At your age, you should spend more time with people your own age."

As a result, Mei Terumi looked at him with teary eyes.

"Can I study with this teacher from now on?"

"Okay."

Seeing Terumi Mei's beaming face, Kiyoi Gen fell into deep thought.

Is a 93% favorability rating a bit too high?

Well, many kids at school have a perfect 100% approval rating for him, so it probably isn't what he thinks.

Chapter 187 The Rumors Erupt

Two months later, it was June of the 38th year of Konoha.

During this period, Kiyomoto often personally led people to inspect various places in the Land of Water, and successively directed the construction of several large cities, integrating the manpower of the Land of Water.

Externally, the country maintains strict control over entry and exit, sealing off its borders in the capacity of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, and relying on Aino's sensory abilities to eliminate ninjas who come to the country to gather intelligence.

However, no amount of blocking can completely stop the spread of the news.

The Land of the Sea, which borders the Land of Water and has close ties with it, learned of the change of daimyo and was surprised that this daimyo had received support from Kirigakure.

He then received a gift from the daimyo of the Land of Water, which temporarily relieved him.

The Land of the Sea is too weak; the Hidden Mist Village could easily conquer it. Fortunately, the new daimyo doesn't seem to have any ambitions.

So the daimyo of the Land of the Sea quickly sent some beautiful women and a pile of sea treasures to the daimyo of the Land of Water.

All these beauties were sent back to school by Kiyoshi Gen to relearn their skills.

The treasures were given to Kakuzu, who was instructed to spend them on construction.

In short, in order to build the Water Country into the ideal country, Kiyoi Gen devoted himself to accumulating experience and compiled it into a book, which was distributed to managers and students for reading.

With the accumulation of experience, talents graduating from schools can also acquire richer theoretical knowledge, and many of the latest batch of graduating students will come to work in the Land of Water.

In this positive atmosphere, many native people of the Land of Water were also influenced and began to actively enroll in adult schools to study, and then devote their energy to building the Land of Water.

With this in mind, Kiyoyuki is confident that he can unleash the full potential of the Water Kingdom within five years.

Let this place become a powerful force for consolidating the rule of the vast territory in the future.

First and foremost, we must encourage more births and parenthood.

Simply taking in war orphans is no longer enough.

He was able to govern vast territories only with a large number of grassroots personnel who could carry out his decrees without compromise.

The Land of Water will become a cornerstone for his future unification of the world.

From a small caravan to a small village, then to a large village, a magnificent city, and a vast country.

Thirty years have passed since he decided to change the world when he was four years old.

It seems that his elder brother is eager for his adoptive father to hand over the position of daimyo to him as soon as possible.

However, his adoptive father is in good health and probably won't die so soon; his older brother will have to wait a while longer.

Thirty years

Kiyoshi sighed.

It was a very long time, filled with both joy and sorrow, sweetness and bitterness.

Fortunately, he learned Yin-Yang Escape, which extended his lifespan.

Mothers and others also maintain their youthful vitality and longevity by relying on cell-enhancing solvents and [flow sealing].

According to Kaguya, once she regains her power, her family will be able to achieve true immortality through the Divine Tree.

However, let's talk about it when that time comes.

Immortality is not something he should be considering right now.

Thanks to their extended lifespans, neither he nor Madara needed to rush to overwhelm everything with force, allowing them to make all the necessary arrangements before achieving their goals.

It was also thanks to a large number of dedicated and hardworking people that he was able to enjoy his luxurious time in his room.

That's right, right now Kiyoi Gen is enjoying a lap pillow with a veil in his tatami room, with a soft and fragrant girl in his arms, who feels incredibly comfortable to touch.

What a sin!

"Hehehe, Yuan~"

After taking off her shoes, Aino snuggled against Kiyoi Gen, thoroughly enjoying the intimate skin-to-skin contact with her husband.

Suddenly she frowned.

Why did the message come from her shadow clone at the very moment she was enjoying herself?

Never mind, it's not a big deal anyway.

After lying down for about an hour, Bai Miao looked at the incoming phone message with a puzzled expression.

"Honey, something seems to have happened in Konoha."

"It was a call from Silent."

The next second, Kiyoi Gen received a notification from Kiyoi Ai's Star Alliance.

[Brother, something's happened to Sakumo!]

Recently, something unbelievable happened in Konoha.

For some reason, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the village.

During a classified mission, Sakumo Hatake violated regulations and abandoned the mission in order to save his comrades.

This mission was extremely important and caused great losses to Konoha.

For a time, Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, and Shizune could hear passersby talking about Sakumo Hatake and accusing him of harming the village's interests as they walked down the streets of Konoha.

Kakashi

Kurenai and Shizune looked at him with concern.

"It's nothing, just people who don't know anything spreading rumors."

Kakashi looked nonchalant, but in reality, his fists were clenched tightly.

How could he, who idolized his father, not care about what these people said?

If he hadn't been holding back, he probably would have rushed up and punched those people.

According to his observation, a kind of "correctness" has now formed in the village: criticizing his father is a sign of "fitting in," a universal "talking point," and criticizing his father can gain the approval of those around him.

but why?!

Why was he surrounded by insults directed at his father almost overnight?

Even if this mission is really important, are the merits his father made in the past so cheap?

Kakashi suddenly remembered a story from one of the stories his uncle, Genji, had told him.

A kind person who helps others every day suddenly does something not so bad, and is immediately condemned by everyone as if they have committed an unforgivable crime.

Perhaps we can draw an analogy.

His father was a hero of Konoha, and the gaze focused on his father was like a magnifying glass. Even the slightest mistake would be magnified infinitely, destroying all his past achievements.

"Kakashi, I'll go ask Lord Genji. He'll definitely have a solution."

Shizune came up with an idea, and Kurenai Yuhi nodded in agreement.

"Why don't we go and visit Uncle Sakumo first?"

"no need."

Kakashi shook his head.

"Dad wants some time alone now."

He was somewhat worried. After learning about the current situation in Konoha, his father looked very unwell and locked himself in his small room, seemingly lost in thought.

"Jingyin, please contact Uncle Yuan as soon as possible. I'm going back now."

Kakashi had barely finished speaking when he immediately started running.

He wanted to stay by his father's side.

Kurenai and Shizune discussed it briefly and then went to the Konoha House compound together.

Because Kurenai Yuhi hasn't returned yet, she's currently sleeping with Shizune.

After they returned, Shizune immediately contacted Kiyoi Gen by phone, and Kiyoi Gen received the message.

Just then, someone took the initiative.

Chapter 188 Kakashi's Disappointment

"Old man!!!"

"Bang!"

The door to the Hokage's office was kicked open, and Tsunade walked straight in, looking displeased.

"What exactly happened with Sakumo Hatake?!"
