What's wrong with having a large harem if you're the emperor of the ninja world?

At the same time, role models were created to establish examples of absolute loyalty to the emperor.

And information control, isolating all external and past information sources.

Subtly eroding their original loyalty to the village and the Hokage.

Forging a sharp military knife that belongs only to Di Yan, capable of striking wherever it is pointed.

Di Yan had a clear understanding of this.

The so-called "ninja army" in the ninja world.

It was just a group of ninjas with outstanding individual combat abilities that were temporarily put together.

There is a lack of genuine discipline and a unified tactical mindset.

What he wanted to build was a real, modern, and highly disciplined machine of violence.

He even considered it with a twisted sense of humor.

Should a "political commissar" system be introduced in the future to ensure absolute ideological unity?

Furthermore, Emperor Yan believed that ninjas over the age of twenty-five had already solidified their mindset.

It is difficult to fundamentally reverse the situation.

His strategy for dealing with these people was to "make full use of them, guard against them strictly, and focus on attrition."

These ninjas were quickly reorganized into two temporary ninja armies.

The first group was led by Might Guy, who was completely controlled by the "Spirit Pact".

He will lead this team to the border of the Land of Earth at top speed.

They joined up with the local border guard.

Their mission was clear.

To defend against and deter Iwagakure from taking advantage of the situation.

Might Guy's very existence is a powerful deterrent.

His absolute obedience also ensured that the team would not mutiny.

The second force was commanded by Izumi Uchiha.

But the real core is that seemingly harmless little girl... Uchiha Hikari.

She will be accompanied by one hundred elite black-clad ninjas brought by Emperor Yan.

Together they led this team to the border of the Land of Lightning to defend against the Hidden Cloud Village.

Sending Guang to the direction of Yunyin was the result of Di Yan's careful consideration.

The Hidden Cloud Village has two perfect Jinchūriki: Yugito (Two-Tails) and Killer Bee (Eight-Tails).

It is difficult for conventional troops and ordinary experts to deal with.

Hikaru Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan is precisely the natural enemy of tailed beasts and jinchūriki.

This is sufficient to create a strategic balance or even suppression.

Their goal is prevention and consumption.

To prevent threats from other countries, and at the same time to wear down some of Konoha's old guard.

Di Yan's management of Konoha is entirely militarized, and there won't be any messy or chaotic things there.

Therefore, these stubborn veteran ninjas.

Either stay on the battlefield or wait for them to return, or you will be kicked out of the ninja army.

Di Yan already had an idea about their arrangements.

As for their loyalty, Di Yan never doubted it.

There are too many hostages in Konoha; they can be easily manipulated...

When Tsunade regained some of her strength and learned about these plans...

Despite being physically and mentally exhausted.

I still couldn't help but remind Di Yan to pay attention to the movements of Wuyin Village.

Di Yan simply smiled confidently, then gently supported Tsunade's waist again, his tone relaxed:

"The Hidden Mist Village? They're too busy taking care of themselves to bother with this."

"Rest assured, I have already arranged for people to guard the eastern sea for me."

He didn't say it explicitly, but the information conveyed in his words aroused Tsunade's curiosity.

So he had another trump card up his sleeve?

As for Sunagakure Village in the southwest.

With the "internal strife" in Konoha quelled, the village quickly demonstrated a stronger military mobilization and defensive posture.

And the secret letters that Di Yan sent to Sunagakure through certain channels.

The somewhat absurd invasion of Sunagakure will soon come to an abrupt end.

The Sand Village might even be located near the border of the Land of Earth, putting pressure on the Stone Village.

They were preparing for the possibility of a full-blown war.

In short, he's definitely the best tool for Sunagakure.

And the wheels of empire are turning in an unstoppable manner.

Crushing the old order.

It is shaping a new order according to the will of its owner.

Konoha is merely a part of this grand scheme.

The first piece to be firmly pinned down.

...

76 Tsunade's Sisters; The Upheaval of the Hyuga Clan

When the fighting finally subsided, Tsunade calmed herself down.

She almost violently pushed Di Yan away.

He tidied his clothes somewhat awkwardly.

She would never give Di Yan another chance.

Her proud Hundred Healings Technique showed no fear even in the face of Danzo's immortality.

But faced with Di Yan's demands, he felt powerless for the first time.

Di Yan chuckled, not paying any attention.

Anyway, Tsunade can't run away.

The evolution of Wood Release is not something that can be achieved overnight; it will happen slowly.

Looking at the humiliated and indignant Tsunade, Di Yan slowly said:

"I'll take you to meet your sisters later."

Sisters?

Tsunade's lips twitched involuntarily.

She knew all along that this guy was a lawless, lustful bastard.

But the plural form of address, "sisters," still made her heart skip a beat.

I have a vague feeling that I've agreed to give in...

It seems that the decision was made too hastily and carelessly.

I wasn't the only one...

For a moment, I felt inexplicably displeased.

But she couldn't explain why she felt this way.

Di Yan keenly noticed her momentary stiffness and hesitation.

Surprisingly, she revealed a hint of "gentleness".

He lowered his head and gently kissed her smooth forehead, his tone soothing:

"Don't overthink it, relax. They're all people you know, you might even get along well with them."

"You know them all?"

Tsunade's heart sank.

An extremely ominous premonition instantly gripped her.

She immediately thought of the female Konoha ninjas who had been imprisoned and controlled by Di Yan...

Sure enough, when Di Yan put his arm around her waist...

They almost forcibly led her to a heavily guarded courtyard, yet the environment was exceptionally elegant and tranquil.

The scene that came into view surprised Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage who had seen countless storms.

I also felt a chill run down my spine and a sense of unbelievable absurdity!

All that could be seen was in the courtyard.

Some sat, some stood, some looked anxious, and some had a worried expression.

Several faces were glaringly familiar to her...

Uchiha Mikoto possesses a gentle and graceful demeanor, yet her brows reveal a subtle sorrow and unwavering resilience.

Mature and alluring, but at this moment her face was pale and her eyes held a complex expression.

Hinata Hyuga had her eyelids lowered, her cheeks flushed, and her hands nervously clasped together.

Inuzuka Hana looked somewhat uneasy.

Yamanaka Ino tries hard to remain calm, but can't hide the panic in her eyes.

And... Tenten and Sakura Haruno instinctively took a half step back the moment they saw Di Yan appear, their faces flashing with clear fear!

They all appeared to have been asked to change into more casual, homey clothes rather than ninja attire.

This added to the eerie and unsettling atmosphere.

The women naturally saw Tsunade, who had been brought by Di Yan.

Except for Mikoto Uchiha, who only glanced at it briefly and remained quietly sitting in the corner.

It seemed as if it were completely out of place with everything around it.

The other younger women almost instinctively gathered around, as if they had found their pillar of support.

They gathered around Tsunade.

His eyes were filled with pleading, fear, and helplessness.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Lady Tsunade...how could you..."

"He...he didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"Teacher, could it be that you also..."

Especially Tenten and Sakura Haruno.

Almost reflexively, they distanced themselves from Di Yan and hid behind Tsunade.

The terrifying experience that night clearly left them with deep psychological trauma.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Di Yan was filled with fear and wariness.

Di Yan paid no attention to their obvious rejection and fear.
