"Your Majesty, I am suffering..."
"Decades of hard work, gone back to the beginning in a single day..."
"Waaah, the Empire is short of money again."
In the main hall, Kakuzu was crying his heart out, looking devastated.
Although construction had just begun.
But, before construction even moved, money had to go first.
In just two days, one large expense after another was disbursed.
I, Kakuzu, am heartbroken!
If there were other countries, Kakuzu could go and raid them, but now there is only one Empire, it's too difficult.
"..."
Lucian handed Kakuzu dozens of Spirit Storage Rings.
"Inside are various resources I collected when destroying parallel worlds, enough for use."
Dozens of Spirit Storage Rings?
Kakuzu's eyes lit up instantly.
"Your Majesty, I'll be going first."
Immediately standing up, full of energy, Kakuzu took the Spirit Storage Rings and luggage, leaving in a hurry.
At this time, Lucian looked at the slightly restrained young man in the main hall.
"Those commoners and surrendered ninjas must be stabilized as quickly as possible."
"The Think Tank must also travel throughout the Empire with the Intelligence Department, investigate all potential problems, sort out all humanities and geography, and re-customize effective policies suitable for the Empire's development."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Nara Shikaku nodded heavily.
Another big project, but if it could satisfy His Majesty, then the Nara clan would have a firm foothold.
Lucian asked again: "How do you view those surviving elites from the original ninja villages?"
This question.
Nara Shikaku pondered: "Undeniably, they all have hatred in their hearts."
"If Your Majesty wants to settle it once and for all, I suggest... kill them all."
Not far away, Konan, who was recording the meeting, paused and looked at Shikaku in surprise.
Lucian did not speak, waiting for him to continue.
"But with Your Majesty in the Empire, and with all the lords here, any anti-Empire behavior is laughable."
"Currently, the Empire's great construction needs talents from all aspects to supplement it. If they can exchange labor for freedom, from a long-term perspective, the pros outweigh the cons."
"Looking even further, any unwillingness will turn to ashes in the long years, and the new generation will be citizens of the Empire, striving for the rise of the Empire."
Nara Shikaku said in one breath.
Just as he was about to say more, he saw Lucian raise his hand slightly and stopped immediately.
"Leave it to you to handle, go."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Nara Shikaku left respectfully.
At this time, Konan asked curiously: "Your Majesty, is it okay to hand over the civil officials directly to him to manage?"
Leaving aside ability.
Konan felt the other party was too young.
One must know that the civil officials accumulated over more than a decade were all at least over 30 years old.
"No matter, he is a smart person..."
Lucian didn't care about these things.
Whether it works or not, just try and see. Currently, the civil officials have no leader.
If suitable, continue.
If not suitable, change the person.
"Distribute all the decisions discussed earlier."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After the Ninja World completely returned to the Empire.
The era of great construction began throughout the Empire, and the entire Ninja World was bustling with activity.
Most importantly.
The economic and technological levels of the original countries and villages differed too much from the Empire.
Not to mention other technologies.
Civilian technologies, the Empire's mobile phones, computers, refrigerators, air conditioners, light rails, etc., were all things other countries currently did not have.
After all, the original timeline was the era of Sasuke and Naruto's birth.
It was more than thirty years away from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
But even in that era, those bulky computers were antiques to the Empire.
From this, one can see.
The rapidness of the Empire's technology.
However.
Everything has to be done slowly.
To get rich, build roads first.
First, the roads throughout the Empire must be connected; transportation comes first.
"The Ninja World is divided into eight states: Fire State, Earth State, Mist State, Sand State, Lightning State, Moon State, Snow State, Cloud State!"
"Each state is divided into districts! Fifty districts per state!"
"Empire-wide economic reform, unified use of Empire Yuan currency!"
"True World City is designated as the Imperial Capital!"
"Ancient Kingdom of Loulan is designated as a Special Zone!"
"Designate Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Konoha as the Empire's 5A Tourist Scenic Areas."
"Effective immediately, launch a population census, information recording, and distribute identification documents."
"Effective immediately, collect various classics and special items throughout the Empire for compensation."
"Effective immediately, recruit talents from all industries throughout the Empire to build a beautiful and harmonious homeland together!"
"..."
One reform after another.
Through official documents issued by the Empire, they spread throughout the Empire's territory.
Very quickly, all the commoners in the Ninja World discovered the differences after unification.
First, all chaos stopped abruptly.
No more oppression from various clans, no more threats from bandits, villains, ninjas, etc.
Secondly, in poor mountains, dangerous waters, and barren lands, various ninjas were digging mountains, filling seas, paving roads, planting trees, and transforming them.
The above were just changes that had just begun; the longer the time, the greater the changes.
Finally.
Even the sky was brighter.
Various clouds created by Lucian's Phantom combed the weather throughout the Empire, intending to bring favorable weather for crops.
"Any experiments, factories, bases, etc., with pollution must be conducted in alternate dimensions; the Empire's environment is important."
"Anyone found harming citizens without cause will be dealt with severely upon investigation."
"During the great construction period, do not disturb the residents."
"And also..."
Lucian first issued some mandatory orders, leaving the rest to the civil officials to complete.
After all.
Every world and every era needs its own characteristics.
Copying completely.
That's called incongruous.
It must be said that smart people do well anywhere.
The Nara clan representative.
Directly gained Lucian's heavy use, showing the importance placed on civil officials.
Different from ordinary kingdoms.
Because Lucian had strength, he didn't need to be suspicious, so the Nara clan was like a fish in water in the Empire.
Some people do well.
Naturally, some people squat on the ground drawing circles.
"I am too pitiful..."
In the Empire's Sand State, the original Land of Wind territory, Senju Hashirama wanted to cry but had no tears.
Oh my god!
Such a big state.
His Majesty wants me to plant trees all over it by myself?
"I've been reduced to landscaping, so my Wood Style has this use..."
Senju Hashirama, with snot and tears, started planting trees from the east.
Greening is a big project.
Because not only the Sand State, but even the Earth State and other places were waiting for Hashirama.
Fortunately.
Hashirama had a rookie recruit to help.
But seeing a few small pieces of wood pop out of the ground, Hashirama was confused.
"Kid, is your Wood Style this weak? Building a house would be a struggle, right?"
"..."
The ten-year-old Yamato wanted to cry but had no tears.
Comparing with you, the gap is too big.
I am also in despair!
Although the spiritual power baptism wouldn't wash away the Kekkei Genkai, it wouldn't sublimate it either.
Yamato and Hashirama's Wood Style.
Had essential differences.
Especially since Yamato was currently only ten years old.
"That's too exaggerated..."
Watching Hashirama create a magnificent forest with a raise of his hand, Yamato was dumbfounded on the spot.
Hashirama's casual move felt like something he couldn't achieve even with ten years of hard work.
"You be responsible for shouting 'Go for it'."
Finally, Hashirama spoke thus.
On the other side!
Clearing mountains and building roads!
"Perfect Susanoo!"
A massive blue Susanoo appeared, and Uchiha Madara slashed down a few times.
Directly opening up a path through a mountain range.
"Wow, Lord Madara is mighty!"
"Oh, Lord Madara is awesome!"
"Yay, go Lord Madara!"
"..."
Hearing such words, Uncle Madara got goosebumps all over.
"I, Madara, have actually fallen to this state. Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality..."
Uchiha Madara shed silent tears.
Fortunately, his task was the initial mountain clearing; the rest was left to those ninjas.
Leaving so many Fire Style and Earth Style users idle was purely a waste in Lucian's eyes.
They are all infrastructure talents!
Greatly improving efficiency.
More than ten days passed in a hurry.
Every place in the Empire was renewed daily, with many changes.
The direction was towards a better future.
The ninjas became more and more silent.
Who said Lucian, no, His Majesty was a Demon King who killed without blinking?
Demon King, Tyrant, etc.
Looking at it now, these were all titles given by ignorant and ambitious people.
The moment he brought stability and happiness to the commoners of the entire Ninja World, no matter how many people Lucian had killed, it was a great achievement.
A necessary path for great reform.
After all, commoners are the keynote and foundation of the Empire.
Commoners don't care who is king; if they can't even get their daily necessities right, how can they care about those things?
But they remember who treats them well.
The Empire treats them well.
They have the Empire in their hearts.
Willing to contribute to the Empire, willing to offer faith and reverence to His Majesty.
At this moment!
"Let's begin."
With more than ten days until the true founding of the nation, the Empire's internal elites began a martial arts tournament.
Based on strength, assessed by ability, structured by merit, to determine the military ranks of the Empire's elites.
The new national title had not yet been determined.
The various new systems had to be set first.
Konan, who did not participate, read the rules.
"The top three will be candidates for the Empire's Army, Air Force, and Navy Marshals!"
"Fourth to twelfth place will be candidates for the Admirals/Generals of the three armies."
"Thirteenth to forty-eighth place will be candidates for the Vice Admirals/Lieutenant Generals of the three armies."
"Forty-ninth to three hundredth place will be candidates for the Rear Admirals/Major Generals of the Empire."
"Three hundredth place..."
As Konan's rules were announced.
All the participants' eyes flickered slightly.
The participants this time included but were not limited to members of the Divine Holy Legion and the Holy Soldier units.
There were also ninjas.
Lucian gave everyone a chance.
The venue, ten miles in diameter, was filled with people sitting around it. A barrier was set up on the venue to prevent energy leakage.
The results this time would become one of the bases for determining military ranks after the official founding of the nation in more than ten days.
So, all are candidates.
"Teacher, can this concubine participate?"
Kaguya, who was watching the show not far from Lucian, suddenly got interested.
This sentence.
Instantly made everyone's heart skip a beat.
Madara and Hashirama also raised their eyebrows slightly.
This woman looks cute.
But she is definitely not to be trifled with.
Lucian looked over: "Why participate?"
"Your Majesty, I want to be a Marshal too!"
Kaguya spoke seriously, causing many people to widen their eyes.
Kakashi clicked his tongue: "...Female Marshal?"
Tsunade clenched her fist: "Any objections?"
"Cough cough, none."
Kakashi instantly wilted.
Just slightly surprised, said it in passing.
Lucian also looked sideways.
Such seriousness was rare; she even omitted the word "concubine".
If Kaguya became a Marshal of a certain branch, what would that scene be like?
"Charge for this concubine, kill these pirates!"
"What? This concubine's soldiers are too inefficient. Everyone stand down, let this Marshal do it!"
"..."
Thinking of Kaguya wearing a military uniform and boots, Lucian felt something was wrong.
Would she lead the army's style astray?
"Go ahead..."
Lucian agreed.
Was there any reason to stop Kaguya from being a Marshal?
Absolutely not.
Marshal Kaguya, online!
