"That's it for today. Lord Dazang will stay here, and the rest of you can leave."

The subordinate officials gradually withdrew from the Suzaku Hall, leaving only Sakagami Mitsuki. Yukina kept him here to collect the refugees.In such an agricultural era, in addition to economic and military power, population is also a factor that cannot be ignored in determining a country's national strength.

Nowadays, the populations of several countries on the mainland are not large. In order to increase the population, Xuenai relies on his business income to reduce his salary every year and strives to improve the medical level, but he will not see any results for a while.

It happened that the three kingdoms of wind, earth, and thunder were at war with the kingdom of fire. The number of civilians affected by the war was unknown. Once they lost their land and houses, they became refugees.There are also civilians in the surrounding small countries. Most of the battles occur on their soil. It is very common for families to be destroyed.Those days were like being soaked in bitter water, with no end in sight.

Xue Nai seized the opportunity and quietly absorbed the refugees through the business network that was spreading.There are many less prosperous villages in the remote towns of the Country of Fire. If you don't keep a good eye, no one can spot them.

"Have all the refugees been settled?" In the main hall, the woman asked in a calm tone.

As the saying goes, "the spirit of the mover nourishes the body of the mover." After nearly 20 years of living a pampered and pampered life, Xue Nai's original gentle character has become more decisive and majestic.Occasionally, just looking at him without saying a word can silence those arrogant and domineering nobles.Mitsuki Sakagami has been following her for more than ten years, and he knows his master's temperament best. He is much calmer and calmer than those people.

"According to His Highness's instructions, a total of 2 small villages have been built in Fangcao, Wengtu, Fanchuan and other places, and all the refugees have moved in according to the allocation. Each household will be given resettlement allowance and 20 acres of fertile farmland on a per capita basis. There is no limit to [-] acres of wasteland, which is tax-free. Three years. As of the date of statistics, a total of [-] households, about [-], have been settled, and [-] taels of silver have been spent."

Xue Nai kept nodding, "Okay, I'll leave the matter to you. I don't have anything to worry about anymore."

Mitsuki Sakagami bowed his head to the end and said, "If you are not Your Highness, what is the difference between this minister and these refugees? I only hope that Your Highness will have a long and prosperous life. This is the blessing of all people in the world."

"Guangxi is becoming more and more good at saying nice things now. Ichiro, you have to learn from him."

Oda Ichiro, who was on guard in the palace, patted the tachi beside him and winked at Mitsuki Sakagami, "The samurai under me is naturally not as good at calculating and talking as Okura-kun."

Xuena smiled and said nothing, ignoring their eyebrows and lawsuits, and asked another matter, "I heard that the Uzumaki tribe and some young ninjas who were originally recruited asked to leave?"

Mitsuki Sakagami and Ichiro Oda looked at each other, and Oda finally spoke: "Yes, they said they wanted to live a normal and peaceful life for a few days."

"It's not impossible to let them go, just make your request clear." Xue Nai wanted to destroy all the ninjas in the world, but it didn't have to take their lives to kill them all.

After taking power, Yukina said, "Nowadays, there are many old customs of getting closer to each other. In particular, ninjas are mostly inherited from families, and there are many intermarriages within the family to maintain the bloodline from generation to generation. As a result, children often have deformities and diseases, and in the long run, the country and the family On the grounds that "nothing is beneficial", he ordered that no matter whether civilians, nobles or ninjas, in the country of fire, they were allowed to have close relations, and violators would be severely punished.

Compared with the visible death of ninjas on the battlefield, this is a gentle and gentle method.As long as this continues from generation to generation, the blood of ninjas will gradually be diluted until no ninjutsu can be used.

Maybe some people will say that you don't know if they don't listen to you, or that it's okay to marry other families or civilian ninjas, but you can't help it.As everyone knows, most ninjas in this era are organized into families. There are very few civilian ninjas, and the outstanding ones are only one in a million. There are not so many to choose from.

Another thing is that although Yukina intends to dilute the ninja blood, the harm of inbreeding is real and not something she invented out of thin air.What Xue Nai has to do is to implant this concept into everyone's mind, and it will have a profound influence on everyone over time, and there will always be a day when it will bear fruit.The two-pronged approach of war and dilution of blood will inevitably lead to a day when there will no longer be any ninjas in this world.

The same goes for the ninjas she recruits and takes in. If they want to live a stable life, Schena can even resettle them like homeless refugees. The only thing is that ninjas are not allowed to combine with ninjas.Call her bossy or bossy, this is the only thing you must abide by.

Mitsuki Sakagami and Ichiro Oda didn't know what Yukina was thinking. They just thought that His Highness was afraid of ninjas with special powers like other nobles, so they both agreed.

-------------------------------------

When he returned to his residence, the maid came to greet him and served him carefully.After replacing the complicated and heavy clothes and taking off the gorgeous red hairpin on my head, my body suddenly lost nearly ten kilograms of weight.Xue Nai twisted her neck, and someone immediately came up to help her rub her stiff shoulders and neck. She closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a moment. She felt so comfortable that she wished she could take a long breath.

Looking around, he didn't see Misa Uzumaki, so he asked casually: "Where's that girl Misa?"

The maids looked at each other and pushed someone out to answer, "Miss Mesa... is out."

"Going out again?" Xue Nai opened her eyes and frowned slightly, "Has she been running outside too often recently?"

No one dared to answer.

"Forget it, wait until she comes back and ask her to come see me."

The maid Nuonuo responded, her voice trembling, obviously she was very scared.

Xuena glanced at her: "Are you afraid of me?"

"No...no." He said no, but he fell to his knees with a "pop" and his whole body shook into a sieve.

In this Daming Mansion, and even more so in Suzaku City, who is not afraid of Mrs. Schnee?At the beginning, she claimed in front of Takeda Takuma's body that she would send all his sons to be with him one by one.Later, due to physical reasons, I was busy arranging various plans and felt that it was not enough. I had no time to deal with them, so I forgot about it for a while.

If no one reminds me, I might not be able to remember these useless snacks until I die, but who can stop a person from committing suicide?Just after the Second Ninja World War broke out, these people took advantage of Yukina and Takeda Rin being busy with the war and had no time to pay attention to other things, and united with the intention of defeating them.They bribed a group of samurai in the army, and spent a lot of money to recruit some powerful Nana ninja rebels, and launched an assassination operation while Takeda Rin was out on inspection.

Due to such calculated and unintentional calculations, all the guards brought by Takeda Rin were killed in the line of duty. Only one monk, Tianyi, survived among the four guardian nin. He struggled to fight his way out of the siege with a serious injury and a critical condition.If Xuena hadn't discovered it early and sent someone to rescue him in time, both of them might not have survived.

Takeda Rin suffered serious sequelae due to an excessive injury. He could no longer think too much and could only rest. The power of a country fell on Yukina.It is said that the emperor was so angry that he laid down millions of corpses, and it was similar here.Due to emotions and reasons, now that Yukina has the power, she should give an explanation to Takeda Rin.Let the people below take action immediately and stop until they dig out those who intend to rebel.

Those living Lang Nin and Rebel Ninja had already run away, so they could only trace them from the samurai. As a result, they pulled out the carrots and brought out the mud, leading out a series of princes and highnesses.After Takeda Rin gave the order, everyone fell to the ground.Of the four concubine sons, together with their wives, concubines, and children, less than one out of ten survived.

During those days, the streets and alleys of Suzaku City were all shrouded in the smell of blood.The common people outside may not know the real situation, but these maids who take care of Xuena know everything clearly.The Daimyokai's decision has something to do with Mrs. Schnee.In terms of being as hard as iron and cold-blooded, this lady who was praised by the people was simply unparalleled.

Have they ever seen such a woman?Although she is not someone who likes to express her anger and loses her temper easily, she is still afraid. It is the fear and awe that are rooted deep in her heart.

Xue Nai found it boring to see the maid like this. What did she care about with these people?He waved his hand and sent everyone away, drinking tea and playing chess in the spring scenery of the courtyard outside, living a very comfortable life alone.

-------------------------------------

When Misa Uzumaki came back, the sun had already set outside.A girl of fourteen or fifteen is the time when she is young and beautiful. Even if she wears a simple high ponytail and wears inconspicuous clothes, her beauty cannot be concealed.

Before he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he grinned and winked at the maid.Seeing the other party shaking his head slightly at himself, and then taking his chin to point at Xue Nai's residence, he felt a thump in his heart and became a little nervous.She tiptoed to the door, lifted her head against the doorframe and peered inside.

Xuena had just finished dinner and was sitting under the lamp reading official documents when he caught a fiery red head in his peripheral vision and immediately started laughing. "What are you doing sneakily? Why don't you come in?"

Meisha touched her nose in embarrassment, then trotted over, saying she was a sworn mother, pulling on Xuena's sleeves and acting like a baby.

"Where have you been today? Have you had dinner?"

"No, I want to come back and use it with my adoptive mother. I'm starving."

He avoids talking about where he went.

"Really?" Xue Nai didn't believe this, "You are serious about it. If so, why do you come back so late?"

"This is not true. I accidentally..."

"Ok?"

"...forgot about time."

The little girl rubbed the hem of her clothes and avoided looking at her.

Xuena sighed secretly and had no intention of forcing her, "Xanlegu, prepare dinner for Mesa."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Thank you stepmother."

Misa Uzumaki is like a happy little hamster, her cheeks bulging from eating.Xue Nai lazily read the official documents, then sat on the edge to spread vegetables for her and enjoy the fun of feeding the small animals.After the meal, Misa Uzumaki failed to sneak away, but Shenati sneaked up to her and asked her.

"Tell me, where have you been these days?"

"No, just... walking around the city."

"You grew up here. Where can you find such a charm that you can wander around for months without getting tired of it? Why don't you tell your mother about it? It would make me happy too."

The words that were not harsh and even a bit teasing made Uzumaki Misa panic.The little girl turned pale and murmured speechlessly.

"Ok?"

"...I, I have someone I like."

15 years old is indeed the age when love begins. What does your 15-year-old self look like?She is probably the happiest and happiest little girl in the world.

Xue Nai raised her lips, "What can't you tell mother about this? Do you think I'm the kind of person who beats a mandarin duck without reason?" She raised her hand and touched the girl's hair, "As long as the other person's character is Okay, good to you, I have nothing to object to."

"Really?" Mesa looked up at her, her wine-red eyes shining brightly, "It doesn't matter who he is?"

"Yes, only ninjas can't do it. Misa, do you understand why?"

"Yes." The stepmother hates ninjas for one reason, but the more important thing is that no one who is a ninja doesn't understand what the Uzumaki clan represents.I still have such a coveted ability. If anything happens, I'm afraid I don't know how I will die.

"So, tell me, Misa. Is the person you like a ninja?"

"No," the girl shook her head, "He is just an ordinary person. He is not a ninja and does not know ninjutsu, but he is very kind to me." As he said this, he couldn't help but blush.

"Okay, I respect your choice. Before you bring him to see me, I will not deliberately investigate his identity. If one day, you are sure that he is the one who belongs to you in this life, just bring him to see me."

"The stepmother is the best, I like the stepmother the most." Uzumaki Misa cheered and threw herself into Xue Nai's arms, her whole body was extremely happy.

Xue Nai touched her hair, lowered her eyes and said nothing.If that's all, why are you so afraid of me knowing, Mesa?

-------------------------------------

In Konoha, ever since Sarutobi Hiruzen received the official document from the Daimyo of the Fire Country, he has a few more wrinkles on his worried face.Even his three-year-old son Asma couldn't make him happy.The only good thing is that Konoha, which is fighting on all sides, has gone through the most difficult period. The battle between the southwest and the Kingdom of Wind, under the leadership of Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo, finally ended in Konoha's victory.However, it was just a miserable victory, with both sides suffering heavy losses.

Although the overall strength of the Kingdom of Rain is not as good as Konoha, it is not easy to win with Sanshou Hanzo, known as the demigod.Thinking of the disciples currently fighting in the Land of Rain, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel worried.

"How's the situation over there Tsunade?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ninja wearing a fox mask appeared out of thin air in the room, kneeling on one knee on the ground. "According to intelligence, Tsunade Hime, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru encountered the main force of Raingakure led by Sansho Hanzo in the Land of Rain."

"How's it going?"

"No definite information has been received yet."

"Explore and report again."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not even in the mood to smoke now.First it was Naoki, then Tsunade. Is it really impossible to preserve the bit of blood left by the Shodaime-sama?As the Hokage, he should have taken the lead and shouldered important responsibilities, but now he could only stay in Konoha and let the young disciples take responsibility. He really failed his teacher's teachings.

"Hiruzen," the door to the Hokage's office opened with a bang, and Shimura Danzo walked in excitedly, with an obvious smile on his ferocious face. "Good news, the battle in the Kingdom of Rain is over."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly stood up: "Tsunade and the others..."

"It's okay, everyone is alive."

"Okay, okay, it seems that the Daimyo's instructions are not impossible to fulfill." With only Earth and Thunder to deal with, Konoha's pressure dropped sharply.

"Daimyo? I think it's the lady. What did she say?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed at the official document on the table and motioned for Danzo to read it himself.

"End the war within two years and not accept any results other than victory? Haha, what a big statement. If there were no Konoha, would she still be sitting there and bossing around?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had calmed down by now, and in turn persuaded his old friend, "Calm down, Danzo. In the past few years, the supplies allocated to Konoha by the Daming Palace have been increasing year by year, and they have never been half-hearted. As time goes by, there is gold and silver. Even a mountain can’t resist it. It’s reasonable to have requests, and it’s reasonable~”

Danzo glanced at him: "Humph, you are just too talkative."

"Don't be impatient," Sarutobi Hiruzen walked to the window with his hands behind his back. What he could see was the peaceful and bustling streets of Konoha and the villagers coming and going.Compared to when the Shodaime founded the village, the area of ​​Konoha has more than doubled. "Soon, soon we won't have to be... constrained everywhere."

"...I hope so." Danzo stood side by side with him, not as optimistic as him.

-------------------------------------

The same information reached Xuena a day later. Seeing that Konoha's victory was in sight, she simply stepped in to help.

"Guangxi, tell us to go down and tighten trade with the two countries of Thunder and Earth. After helping them for so long, it's time to cut off food and grass."

"Yes, Your Highness."

In order to create such a tragic victory that would hurt both sides, they worked hard and spent a lot of brain cells.But looking through the battle damage report, it was all worth it.Except for the Kingdom of Water, which did not participate in the war, the ninjas from other countries suffered heavy casualties, far exceeding those in the first ninja war.In this war, there is no winner except Xuena.

According to her, since you have started a war on your own initiative, you must be mentally prepared for a complete defeat.Since they were beaten, let them hurt. Only when the pain is deep in their hearts can they remember the lesson.

"Maybe this way, they won't dare to start wars casually anymore."

In the 40th year of Konoha, the Fire Country ended its war with the Earth Country. In the 41st year of Konoha, the Kingdom of Thunder retreated, and the Second Ninja War that lasted for five years finally came to an end.Konoha won the final victory with one against four, becoming the well-deserved number one ninja village among the five major nations.

Praise from the outside world comes one after another, but only the person involved knows the pain of loss.In this war, Tsunade lost her brother and her lover. As a medical ninja, she suffered from anemia and wandered away from Konoha.

The young Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan lost their parents and became war orphans.

Similar and dissimilar tragedies are being staged in every corner of the world. When time takes away the pain and interests blind the eyes, the next war will follow.

The wheel of history rotates and never stops.
