go and notify all high-level officials to be prepared after the meeting ends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said to Kuroshima Morita with burning eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ryosuke’s words, Kuroshima Morita seemed to understand something and responded excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Kuroshima Morita turned and left to complete Mizunuki Ryosuke’s entrustment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Kuroshima Morita left, Mizunuki Ren lifted her head from Mizunuki Ryosuke’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, you, you, you are bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ren said through gritted teeth, a flash of faint anger appearing on her pretty face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She found that since they confirmed their relationship, Ryosuke has been getting worse day by day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has lost all the cuteness and sensibility he had when he obediently called her \"Ren-jie,\" and now the thing he thinks about most every day is how to bully her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is something worse, do you want to experience it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke smiled slightly, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren’s face turned red again, and she struggled to climb out of Ryosuke’s embrace, looking just like a little sika deer seeing a big tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally realized that now the entire Kirigakure is Mizunuki Ryosuke’s one-man show, and the ministers of Kirigakure will keep silent about any of Mizunuki Ryosuke’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in Kirigakure is an \"accomplice\" who \"helps the tyrant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she stays here any longer, she doesn’t know how much she will be bullied by Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going home!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming to feel a hint of danger, Ren’s small face turned red, and she ran away directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke did not intend to pursue the \"responsibility\" of Mizunuki Ren who \"fled the battle,\" after all, there is still business to be busy with now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the matter is finished, he has plenty of time to properly cure Mizunuki Ren’s crime of fleeing the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, a trace of imperceptible depth flashed in Ryosuke’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by Kuroshima Morita, Bee, Samui, and a middle-aged ninja with a square face were brought to the Mizukage’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, the three Kumogakure ninjas looked around from time to time, with a hint of amazement in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the four were walking on a main road of Kirigakure, which was extremely lively, with vendors hawking along the street and pedestrians playing and laughing everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a scene has not been seen in Kumogakure for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The economic base determines the superstructure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without an economy as support, nothing can be developed, including ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivating a ninja, even if it is just a Genin, requires ten times more resources than an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Chunin and Jonin, the resources consumed will be an astronomical figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ninjas do not engage in production, but are a profession that exists entirely as an armed violent group that obtains remuneration through \"missions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the more \"missions\" there are, the more ninjas are needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every major country has only so many people, and there are only so many missions that need ninjas to execute, so it is destined that the number of ninjas in every major country has a certain upper limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To cultivate more ninjas, it is necessary to expand the village’s \"mission demand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Konoha is powerful is because it plundered the missions of all the small countries nearby to strengthen itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Kirigakure does not have such prerequisites as Konoha; as a country independent overseas, the Land of Water can only rely on itself to become strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke’s approach is to find a way for the Land of Water from the millions of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, there are many factories around Kirigakure that produce medical supplies, protective gear, and weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These production tasks will all be completed by ordinary people, and this creates a large number of missions for ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The finished products produced by the factories need to be sold to various countries, so ninjas are needed for escort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raw materials upstream of the factories need a lot of manpower to obtain, and these materials are generally produced in deep mountains or large rivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dangerous beasts often live in these places, and at this time, the existence of ninjas is needed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of missions are issued from the hands of these ordinary people, and finally become benefits fed back to Kirigakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an investor in these factories, Kirigakure can not only obtain money through the trade of products produced by the factories but also expand extremely considerable \"missions\" for the ninja village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke’s measures not only allowed the people of the Land of Water to reap a lot of benefits but also allowed Kirigakure to enter an era of rapid development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirigakure has also become the trade center of the Land of Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the base camp of Kirigakure, naturally no one would be so stupid as to dare to cause trouble in Kirigakure’s base camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the prosperity around them, the three Cloud Ninjas looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Kirigakure, which has been hidden in the ninja world for many years, has developed so prosperously without knowing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three, the front is the core area of Kirigakure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please do not run around after entering with me, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kuroshima Morita said with a smile, and the three nodded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please rest assured, we still understand the rules.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man with the name \"Bee\" responded, his expression very solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be seen that the man named \"Bee\" among the three is the backbone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuroshima Morita nodded and said noncommittally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they stepped into the depths of Kirigakure, the pedestrians around became much fewer, and the environment became much quieter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the Fourth Mizukage-sama ascended the throne, Kirigakure has also carried out a certain degree of reform.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reform divided the village into an inner layer and an 'outer layer'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 'outer layer' you saw just now is the place where ordinary people and merchants live and trade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the 'inner layer' we are about to enter can only be entered by ninjas and their families.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuroshima Morita explained to the three people beside him, and the three nodded one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The essence of a ninja village is still a violent organ serving a country, and such a nature determines that the ninja village itself must be on guard against the espionage of other forces at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such measures in Kirigakure also ensure that Kirigakure will not be easily invaded by spies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three are all (Zhao Ma Zhao) ninjas, naturally knowing the benefits of such actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, the ninja named \"Bee\" looked very solemn, because in his perception, their group was secretly observed by more than ten batches of ninjas along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These should be Kirigakure’s \"hidden sentries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"hidden sentries\" can monitor and observe them without making a sound, and even the square-faced ninja beside him did not discover them, which shows that the strength of these ninjas is extremely extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the reason Bee could discover the peeping of these ninjas is that he had received a cruel tempering since he was a child—fighting beasts with his bare hands in the dark forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peeping of beasts in the dark forest allowed Bee to develop an extremely keen intuition, and any peeping gaze would be felt by his sensitive nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Bee could also be sure that if Kuroshima Morita beside them were not there, these ninjas hidden in the dark would definitely launch an attack on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strictness within Kirigakure made Bee feel a little shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1288,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T05:05:38.859Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
