After being silent for a long time, he finally couldn't help but speak:

"We're both ninjas, so why is there such a huge difference?"

Yu Zhen laughed and said, "See? This is a huge blow. It will take him ten days or half a month to recover."

There had been countless voices and countless people praising Hatake Sakumo as a genius, but today he realized that he was just an ordinary person.

"I'm hungry, Master Yuzhen. Is there anything else to eat?"

"Yes, do you want some Bingliang Pills?"

Chapter 170 Who is the Hero?

After selecting the location of the village, Yuzhen informed Hashirama Senju of this matter, and on the other hand, ordered a group of Firefly Ninjas to form a construction corps and come here to carry out preliminary construction.

For most ninjas, they are actually quite reluctant to leave Firefly Village, because Firefly Village was established not long ago, they are living well in the village, and there is no reason or motivation to move.

But there's no way, Yu Zhen's order is like this.

No matter what, Yuzhen has a longer-term vision than ordinary ninjas. He has to move sooner or later anyway, so of course it is better to move sooner rather than later... Arriving in the new village earlier can occupy a better location. What's there to be unhappy about? It's obvious that he doesn't understand the real estate industry.

After all, Yinghuo Village is located on the border and has limited development potential. It is destined to gradually reduce in size in the future and may eventually become some kind of border stronghold.

In comparison, "Konoha" is located in the center of the Land of Fire, and its safety is much greater than that of Hotaru Village.

Yu Zhen also had to explain to his subordinates that Yinghuo would still be Yinghuo even if it moved, and there was no need to resist so much... In fact, what everyone resisted was not the move, but they already knew that it would be difficult for Yinghuo to exist as an independent organization in the future.

After merging into the Thousand Hands Alliance, many people worried that the organization would lose its original purity, but there was nothing that could be done about it, as there were gains and losses... Even if it didn't join the Thousand Hands Alliance, with the continuous development of the Firefly Organization, it would never be the same as before.

When it comes to purity, it has to be said that it was purest when Yu Zhen led Yu Gongyuan and the Fengmo clan to blaze a trail from scratch. But what is the point if we remain complacent?

The organization currently needs a meeting to unify its thoughts, but there is no rush.

Yu Zhen mobilized a group of ninjas to the center of the Fire Country to carry out construction. In addition to the construction unit and the guard unit, the first thing he had to do was to build a hospital here and mobilize the people of Kuroki Hitomi's clan here.

Then, based on this place, they moved forward and set up the first frontline hospital not far from the front line to provide medical care for the ninjas in the war.

The Uchiha clan is the main factor hindering the internal unification of the Land of Fire, but the Uchiha clan is not the only ninja clan that is ignorant of the times and chooses to resist, which means that the war will still need to continue for some time.

Just when Yuzhen threw himself into the construction site and devoted himself to civil engineering, he received news from Shimizu Kisuke... Daimyo felt that it was time to take action.

It is obvious that Daimyo Shimizu's judgment of the situation is relatively accurate. At this time, he, who has been sitting on the Diaoyutai, also knows that it is time to reach into his arms and pull something out.

Yuzhen certainly supported the daimyo's subjective initiative. Shimizu Kisuke was originally a smart man. It would be disappointing if he was still squatting in Lingdang Castle in the border area like a fool at this time.

So Yuzhen rushed back to Lingdang Castle and had a conversation with the daimyo.

"Daimyo-sama, do you want to join the new batch of supplies transport team to the front line? And then offer condolences to the frontline ninja? That's a good idea, but I must remind you that the front line has just experienced a major battle, and it is not safe there."

Yuzhen supported the daimyo's actions, but did not hide the danger of this trip.

If the defeated Uchiha Madara refuses to accept the defeat and stubbornly launches another attack, then Uchiha will not be able to guarantee the Daimyo's safety... He does not think he has the ability to compete with the complete Susanoo.

"Master Yuzhen, it was precisely because I heard about the great battle on the front lines that I decided to go and offer my condolences..."

The "Gundam War" had just taken place on the front line, and many of our ninjas were upset because of it. It was human nature to be afraid of extraordinary means. However, the more at this time, if the daimyo showed up on the front line, the more impressive it would be to these ninjas.

All the ninjas were afraid of Uchiha Madara, but the daimyo dared to come to the front line. What does this show? It shows that the daimyo is a courageous daimyo, a daimyo who cares about the life and death of the ninjas on the front line, and a daimyo who shares honor and disgrace with the allied ninjas.

Well, this approach can be considered an alternative form of "others are fearful, I am greedy".

So this is the plan... Yu Zhen looked at Daimyo Shimizu and couldn't help but recall the time when he subdued the Akimichi clan and this man dared to leisurely observe on the edge of the battlefield.

All we can say is that he is still as smart and courageous as ever, or that his courage is based on his intelligence.

A person who is good at surrendering, once he has decided not to surrender, has to do a big job, otherwise wouldn’t his surrender be in vain?

In this era, Shimizu Kisuke's approach was very different. The relationship between the daimyo and the ninja was simply an employment relationship. In fact, most ninjas did not know the specific name of the daimyo who supported them.

The daimyo only cares about his own interests and doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary ninjas, but what about Shimizu Kisuke?

On the one hand, he actively provided a large amount of supplies to the ninjas, and on the other hand, he dared to go to the battlefield.

Regardless of Shimizu Kisuke's wisdom and intelligence, at least his performance far exceeds that of his peers. Everything is afraid of comparison, and his behavior can easily win the support of the ninjas... As long as he goes to the front line, the ninjas will at least be familiar with his name.

"If that's the case, then we should act sooner rather than later. You should appear before the frontline ninjas as soon as possible while the aftermath of the war is still lingering."

"That's what I thought. Let's set off immediately... Lord Yuzhen, my safety is in your hands."

"Why bother talking about this now? You can't turn back anyway. Even if you're on the front lines, there's nothing to regret."

Qingshui Jiyou: "..."

Well, the truth is, with Qingshui Jiyou's current size, even if he wants to surrender to Yuanshi, the other party will not accept him... Yuanshi is also afraid of starving himself to death.

So, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.

Qingshui Jiyou sighed inwardly. "How could a country daimyo like me start to fight seriously for the position of Lord of the Land of Fire?" Yuzhen, oh Yuzhen, you really made me suffer.

After understanding Daimyo Shimizu's determination, Yuzhen personally served as the guard. They traveled light and followed the material transport team out of Lingdang City and headed east.

However, the group did not go directly to the front line, because the first stop of this material transportation was the village of the Sarutobi clan, so Daimyo Shimizu would come here first to express his condolences.

Naturally, the arrival of Shimizu Daimyo caused a sensation. On the one hand, the Sarutobi clan had already received several rounds of material assistance from Kawagen Province; on the other hand, it was very rare for a daimyo of a country to "condescend", and it was an honor for the Sarutobi clan.

Kisuke Shimizu took meticulous care of the wounded and the ninja team that was about to go on the expedition, and also showed appropriate concern for Sarutobi Sasuke. He looked sincere and unpretentious, and his acting skills were much better than that of Yu Zhenke.

Sarutobi Sasuke was very happy because he had brought out his son who was less than one year old. At this time, Shimizu Kisuke could even bring the child over and praise him. His professionalism was comparable to that of an old woman who had been in the neighborhood for forty or fifty years... Obviously, he had learned about Sarutobi Sasuke's family situation in advance.

Yu Zhen looked at the baby and thought to himself that if nothing unexpected happened, this year would be the first year of Konoha, so wouldn't it be more appropriate for Sarutobi Hiruzen to change his name to Sarutobi Konohamaru?

"Sasuke-sama, what is your next mission?"

"Head south to wipe out the Nohara clan entrenched in Luwei Mountain."

"Oh, is it difficult?"

"Haha, compared to the Uchiha clan that the Senju are dealing with, our side is not difficult."

"Well, I hope the war in the Fire Nation can be put to an end soon."

In order not to interfere with Sarutobi's work, Shimizu Kisuke was very tactful and only stayed here for a short period of time. Not only did he not have the arrogance of a noble, he even had the discerning eyesight of a child facing his stepmother alone.

Then, the material transport team left the Sarutobi clan's village and headed to the front line of the Senju clan's battle.

Shimizu Kisuke did not rush forward. He communicated with Senju Hashirama repeatedly through the air, and only after confirming that his presence would not cause any trouble to the battle situation did he prepare to set off.

Although Senju Hashirama looks a little silly sometimes, he is a thousand times better than his brother in dealing with people. Before Shimizu Jiyou left, he took the initiative to come and greet him.

At this point in time, Shimizu Kisuke appeared in the front-line camp, and the sensational effect even dissipated the negative impact caused by Uchiha Madara... The daimyo, an ordinary person, dared to come directly to the place where Uchiha Madara had wreaked havoc, so what was there for these ninjas to be afraid of?

Hashirama, or the Senju clan, won the previous battle, and the Uchiha clan was licking their wounds, so there was indeed no combat mission in the camp at this time.

Shimizu Kiyou walked around and began to comfort the ninjas. He was certainly not pretending. In fact, he observed very carefully and soon found that some of the ninjas in the camp seemed out of tune with everyone else.

"Master Hashirama, these ninjas are..."

"They are Uchiha ninjas who left the Uchiha and joined us after the previous battle."

Look at Hashirama, he never uses words like "surrender" in person.

Shimizu Kisuke nodded. It seemed that the Uchiha clan was indeed doomed, which meant that he had come to the front line at a good time.

He treated everyone equally, even showing a hint of sympathy. Facing these Uchiha ninjas, Shimizu Kiyou took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with each of them:

"Thank you for your hard work."

It was inconvenient for him to say anything more, but he shouldn't say nothing either, so he had to do this.

After a tour of the camp, Hashirama Senju accompanied Kiyoshi Shimizu to the stage. Facing the many frontline ninjas who had gathered, the daimyo delivered a keynote speech on the theme of "Don't be afraid of strong enemies, peace is coming". He lowered his posture and focused on praising the ninjas' heroic and fearless sacrifices.

After all this PUA, the ninjas were confused. Are we really that noble? Isn't fighting for the survival of the tribe, but for world peace?

But no matter what, the arrival of Shimizu Kisuke boosted the morale of the ninjas. They had never seen such a daimyo before. They even felt respected by the daimyo. Who could they complain to?

Yuzhen looked at the Daimyo Shimizu in front of him and felt the cheers of the ninjas. Only then did he understand... Damn, the daimyo was actually holding the heroine's script.

What's even more tragic is that Yu Zhen feels like he has been given the script of a "warm man".

Shimizu Kisuke was not just pretending here and then turned around and left. The Senju clan was his main target. He stayed at the front line for a few days, fully understood how the ninjas fought, and then ordered the rear to transfer some supplies again.

Then he retreated a short distance and waited until the front-line hospital was completed and started operating normally before leaving.

Next, he visited the villages of Senju (Uzumaki) and Hyuga in order, and then returned to Lingdang Castle.

As the saying goes, comparing oneself will lead to death, and comparing goods will lead to throwing them away. Now, the name of Shimizu Kisuke is known to everyone among the ninjas of the Land of Fire.

To some extent, Qingshui Jiyou's sincere condolence activities from top to bottom and "regardless of identity" can be considered as a pioneering move in the world, so it is reasonable that he caused a sensation.

There is material support and spiritual respect, and it is hard to find such a great name even with a lantern.

Yu Zhen accompanied Shimizu Kiyou throughout his PR activities and completed his escort mission. At the end, his feelings were surprisingly...

Forget it, the development system is also good.

When he returned to the location of "Konoha Village" again, he found that many buildings had been built here... The production and construction efficiency of the ninjas was so high, but under normal circumstances they did not engage in production and construction activities.

Seeing that everyone was working very hard, Yu Zhen immediately stopped them:

"Hey, don't finish all the work yet. We need to leave some space here. We'll see how the Senju clan arranges it later..."

To be precise, it depends on what arrangements Senju Tobirama has made. You have to give him some sense of participation to prevent him from going crazy... Yu Zhen has learned to predict.

"Okay, Master Yuzhen, we understand."

"Ah."

Yu Zhen was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped because he found that several completed buildings looked very familiar.

Look at this neighborhood again...

Damn it, these bastards copied the buildings and architectural layout of Firefly Village one by one... They've reached their rebellious stage, and this can be considered silent resistance.

Of course, this rebellion is not directed at Yu Zhen, but... why create conflicts? This seems a bit too exclusive and even goes against the purpose of the establishment of "Firefly".

It seems that it is time to hold a meeting.

A few days later, the top leaders of the Firefly Organization, including clan leaders of all sizes, gathered in a conference room in a building in the new village.

Then, Yuzhen's first sentence made everyone explode.

"The Uchiha clan won't be able to hold out for much longer. A new ninja village will soon be established to unify the entire Fire Nation's armed forces. Therefore... before long, 'Firefly' will no longer exist in name."

A buzz of discussion arose.

"Master Yuzhen, why is this?"

Shinobi like Fuuma Chi immediately started questioning, not even paying attention to their tone.

Yuzhen remained calm:

"Well, because I can't beat Hashirama Senju..."

"Well, the real reason is that a village cannot have two central agencies."

Chapter 171 Old Fox

"Based on practical considerations, we cannot and have no reason to confront the Thousand Hands. Eliminating war, or at least eliminating war in a certain area, has always been our goal, and this goal can only be achieved by cooperating with the Thousand Hands."

"If we don't cooperate with the Senju, I think our future development will be at most equivalent to the Taki Kingdom in the northwest. A medium-sized country like that has no say and can only go with the flow in the ninja world."

"So everyone should maintain basic rationality."

"In fact, it's difficult for the great ninja clans to break free from historical inertia. Compared to us, they will always be the less dynamic party. So everyone, remember, when the time comes, the one supporting this new ninja village will still be... us, the Fireflies. There is no doubt about that."

"Everyone should actively participate in the construction of the new ninja village, especially the construction of the system, because the framework of this new ninja village cannot be separated from the Firefly Village, otherwise it will not be able to develop."

“Be proactive, not confrontational.”

"I saw someone recreating the buildings of Firefly Village on a one-to-one scale. This is just to seduce the other ninja clans and make us look like we're breaking the rules... I won't go into details about who gave the order, but just change it back for me."

"What we need to do is to move the Firefly Organization and its spiritual core here, not to move the village here."

"Substance over form, don't you understand? Are your brains frozen?"

Yuzhen criticized the people in the organization mercilessly, as these people still did not realize the nature of the new ninja village.

"Master Yuzhen, didn't you say that the Firefly Organization should not exist..."

Feng Mozhi still wanted to be stubborn, but before Yu Zhen could say anything, he was slapped silent by Nara Hideichi... In name, do you know what in name means?

Yu Zhen ignored the young man who knew nothing and continued:

"There's really no need to exclude the New Ninja Village. You can think of it as a larger ninja village developed from the foundation of Firefly Village. We have the first-mover advantage... As long as everyone works hard, we can still dominate most departments of the New Ninja Village."
