Two days later, in the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure.
"Mizukage-sama, a coup d'état has occurred in Rainbow Country. Lord Horii has been killed, and Rainbow Country is now under the control of a man named Zhong Chen."
A Kirigakure Anbu knelt on one knee and reported to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, who was behind the desk.
At this time, Yagura Karatachi had not yet been controlled by Uchiha Obito.
So, although Kirigakure was still not very friendly towards bloodline limit families, it hadn't actively persecuted them.
"A mere Rainbow Country, a nation without even a ninja village. There's no need to pay attention to it."
"As long as they continue to post missions with us, the rest is none of our business."
After hearing Yagura Karatachi's words, the Anbu, with a worried expression, continued to ask:
"What about the Daimyo..."
"That's not something you need to worry about."
Yagura Karatachi looked up and glanced at the Anbu indifferently. The Anbu immediately felt a chill throughout his body, hastily lowered his head, and said loudly:
"Yes, sir! I will withdraw!"
Whoosh... Watching the Anbu disappear, Yagura Karatachi thought of his policies constantly being rejected, and he muttered in a gloomy voice:
"Damn bloodline families, I'll deal with you sooner or later..."
The news of the coup in Rainbow Country did not cause any stir in the Shinobi World. Apart from the Land of Water paying a little attention, other countries didn't care.
After all, a small country without even a ninja village was truly not worth bothering with.
Meanwhile, Rainbow Country, which was not on the radar of other nations, began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
The first was the establishment of Rainbow Ninja Village.
"Sigh, I, a dignified Army Second Lieutenant, actually transformed into some kind of Jonin."
"These clothes are really uncomfortable to wear."
A former Army Second Lieutenant adjusted the forehead protector on his head and said to his teammate beside him with a helpless expression.
"You should be content. At least we get to show our faces."
"Some of our brothers were transferred to that Anbu unit, and they have to wear masks every day and pretend to be aloof. Now that's truly miserable."
A former Army Captain, who noticed the two whispering, immediately shouted:
"What are you two mumbling about? Lord Zhong Chen rarely mobilizes us grassroots personnel to help, so cherish it."
"I heard the Imperial Guard is crying their eyes out every day because no one from their ranks was transferred."
That's right, this time Zhong Chen did not mobilize the high-end combat forces from the Monster Country Federation.
He only mobilized three thousand grassroots Army officers and fifty thousand reservist soldiers.
There was no other way; even a reservist soldier in the Monster Country Federation had at least the strength of an elite Chunin.
Regular soldiers were easily Jonin, and a field officer wouldn't even dare to greet people if he didn't have Kage-level strength.
Although Zhong Chen didn't mobilize high-level combat forces, some individuals still came uninvited.
"So you want to play some kind of nation-building game here?"
Velgrynd narrowed her eyes, leaning on the sofa, looking at Zhong Chen, who was wearing a straw hat, with a playful expression.
"Hehe, isn't it very boring?"
"Since you're here, I appoint you as my Rainbow Shadow Assistant. Work hard and strive to become the second Danzo Shimura."
Velgrynd heard Zhong Chen's words, a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said indifferently:
"Zhong Chen, you will regret this!"
"Velgrynd, I am the Rainbow Shadow! Hahaha, yes, that's the feeling!"
Kochou Shinobu, who was reading a document nearby, shook her head helplessly.
"These two are really boring. Instead of wasting time, they should come and help me."
"Wait, why am I looking at documents? Isn't this the bad guy's job?"
Thinking of this, Kochou Shinobu quickly looked up, glared at Zhong Chen with a displeased expression, and loudly questioned:
"Bad guy, isn't this your job? Why do I have to deal with it!"
"You are my secretary. If you don't handle it, who will?"
Zhong Chen looked at Kochou Shinobu with a matter-of-fact expression.
Kochou Shinobu, however, looked at Zhong Chen, who was leisurely drinking tea, with a bewildered expression and loudly asked:
"When did I become your secretary!"
"Oh, I just appointed you."
"Damn it, my sister is the Chief Secretary, and now you're making me a secretary. Why would my sister and I fall for a bad guy like you?"
After hearing Kochou Shinobu's words, Zhong Chen tossed his hair, striking a dashing pose, and proudly declared loudly:
"Of course, it's because I'm handsome!"
"Tch..."
The next day
[System Sign-in!]
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining World Time Flow Regulator (Seven-Colored) * 1]
World Time Flow Regulator: Can adjust the time flow rate of various worlds. It works even better when paired with the Dimensional Gate.
[System, I can adjust the world's time flow rate myself. This thing doesn't seem very useful.]
[Host, you are mistaken. This item can be used by others, and of course, the Host can retrieve it at any time.]
[What? It can be used by others?]
Upon hearing the System say it could be used by others, Zhong Chen immediately became interested.
If this item could be used by others, it would be fun.
For example, Zhong Chen spends decades in the Shinobi World, but Rimuru uses the Time Flow Regulator to speed up the time in the Shinobi World.
Only a month might have passed in the Slime World.
This would allow Zhong Chen to spend a long time in one world with peace of mind.
"It seems this thing needs to be given to someone absolutely reliable."
Zhong Chen muttered and began to consider candidates. Milim and Veldora were immediately eliminated.
Rimuru wouldn't work either; he's incredibly lazy now.
Other guys like Diablo wouldn't work either.
With this thing, they might cause some events that threaten world security.
After much thought, Zhong Chen realized there were only two candidates left.
One was the head maid, Izayoi Sakuya, and the other was the Chairwoman of Academy City, Shizue.
"Hmm... I'll give it to Sakuya. Her ability is also related to time."
Ultimately, Zhong Chen decided to give it to Izayoi Sakuya.
After all, Shizue already had so many things to do every day, so it was better not to disturb her.
Actually, Zhong Chen didn't dare to appear before Shizue now, after all, Academy City had been... by his three pets, right... As the administrative personnel of the Monster Country Federation were continuously dispatched, the living standards of the people of Rainbow Country began to skyrocket.
One day they were eating wild vegetables and tree roots, and the next day they miraculously started eating polished rice and white flour.
Their living places also changed day by day; low thatched huts were replaced by exquisitely renovated two-story houses.
In the capital, various high-rise buildings sprang up in an instant.
And our Daimyo of Rainbow Country, also the Rainbow Shadow, was currently inspecting Rainbow Ninja Village.
"Build a ninja academy here for me. Send all eligible children there."
"That... Lord Zhong Chen, we don't have chakra and can't use ninjutsu."
A staff member following him spoke with a nervous expression.
"See, you're limited by your thinking, aren't you? If you don't have chakra, you can teach magic power."
"As long as you shout out the moves, who cares if you're using chakra to activate them?"
Zhong Chen looked at the staff member with an expression that implied he was beyond teaching.
"Besides, chakra, that low-end stuff, just grab any ninja and analyze it, and you'll have it."
Upon hearing Zhong Chen's words, the staff member's eyes lit up, and then, in a fawning manner, he shouted loudly:
"Lord Zhong Chen's insight is profound!!!"
