Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

After helping Yahiko and the other two lay the foundation, Uchiha Kagezuki decided to further guide their training.

The three can become stronger with existing resources and ninjutsu scrolls alone, but to truly become a force for promoting peace in the ninja world, they need more advanced ninjutsu and strategies.

"Yahiko, Konan, Nagato," Yingyue stared at the three of them.

"I know that you all have great talents, but talents still need to be guided and polished before they can truly become a powerful force. Today, I will personally guide your training and teach each of you some high-level ninjutsu that is suitable for you."

The three of them nodded, their expressions solemn.

This is a rare opportunity, and it is a great honor for them to learn directly from such a powerful ninja as Uchiha Kagezuki.

Uchiha Kagezuki first designed a high-level ninjutsu based on water escape for Yahiko - "Water escape: Water Dragon Bullet". This ninjutsu can summon a large amount of water in a short period of time and turn it into a giant dragon to sweep away the enemy.

Uchiha Kagezuki told Yahiko: "Your personality determines that you are more suitable for controlling the situation. The flexibility and explosive power of water escape can well match your fighting style."

Then, Uchiha Kagezuki helped Konan improve her paper jutsu and taught her some advanced fire jutsu.

Finally, Uchiha Kagezuki provided Nagato with some high-chakra and high-powered ninjutsu such as Great Fire Annihilation.

Uchiha Kagezuki explained: "Nagato, your physique is suitable for bearing strong chakra loads. This ninjutsu requires extremely high chakra control, but its power is enough to destroy all obstacles."

While instructing them, Uchiha Kagezuki also personally wrote down detailed scrolls of these ninjutsu and gave them to them.

"These scrolls record the detailed training methods and application techniques of the high-level ninjutsu I designed for you," Uchiha Yingyue said, "You can practice these ninjutsu according to your needs."

Afterwards, Uchiha Yingyue summoned the Ninja Cat clan and summoned a small but alert-eyed Ninja Cat to his side.

The ninja cat meowed and jumped onto Uchiha Yingyue's shoulder.

"These are members of the Ninja Cat Clan. They belong to my Shadow Screen Organization." Uchiha Kagezuki explained to Yahiko and the other two, "If you encounter problems in the future or need my help, you can contact me through the Ninja Cat. The Shadow Screen Organization will always support you."

Then, Uchiha Kagezuki took out three Flying Thunder God Kunai and gave one to Yahiko, Konan and Nagato each.

Uchiha Kagezuki stared at them, his tone becoming serious: "These three Flying Thunder God Kunai are engraved with my Flying Thunder God Mark. If you encounter a crisis that you cannot resolve, you can use chakra to activate the mark. Once I sense it, I will immediately teleport over to help you."

Yahiko, Konan and Nagato took the kunai, their expressions full of gratitude and determination.

"Konan, Nagato, Yahiko, the road ahead will not be smooth." Uchiha Kagezuki's voice was deep and powerful, "But I believe you have the ability to become a force that changes the ninja world. Don't let this expectation down."

Yahiko nodded firmly: "Lord Shadow Moon, we will work hard to realize the ideal of peace and will never let you down."

Konan and Nagato also expressed that they would do their best to maintain peace in the ninja world and live up to Yingyue's teachings.

Uchiha Yingyue was very satisfied with their attitude. These three people had extraordinary potential and firm beliefs.

After Uchiha Kagezuki bid farewell to Yahiko and the other two, he took Hinata Ayane and Yamanaka Chinatsu to the last stop of their trip - the Kingdom of Wind.

The climate and topography of the Kingdom of Wind are significantly different from those of other countries.

After a long journey, Uchiha Yingyue and the other two finally arrived in the territory of the Wind Kingdom.

What greeted us was an endless desert, with yellow sand filling the sky and heat waves rolling.

Most of the land of the Kingdom of Wind is made up of such deserts, with only scattered oases dotted in between. These oases are the main residences of the residents of the Kingdom of Wind.

When they arrived at a small oasis in the Kingdom of Wind, Shadow Moon noticed that the people there were not well off.

Although the oasis' water source allows residents to farm and maintain a basic life, their living conditions are far inferior to those of civilians in the Fire Nation.

The arid climate, poor soil and backward agricultural technology make their lives difficult and scarce.

After several days of visits, Yingyue gradually understood the situation in the Kingdom of Wind.

Although the oases in the Kingdom of Wind are relatively livable, due to the vast desert and inconvenient transportation, there is little connection between the oases.

Each oasis is ruled by a small lord, and these lords are independent and their ruling methods vary from person to person.

Many lords exercise absolute power in the oasis. They rule their territories like local emperors. Taxation, executions, and even lawmaking are all handled by these lords.

Although the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind nominally rules the entire country, in reality, his control is not strong.

Especially in remote border areas, the daimyo's management of these lords was even more lax. As long as these lords could pay taxes on time, the daimyo would hardly interfere in their internal affairs.

This also makes the ruling structure of the Kingdom of Wind appear extremely decentralized, and the conditions in each oasis vary greatly.

During the journey, Yingyue, Ayane and Chinatsu also heard many rumors about these oasis lords.

Some lords were tyrannical and plundered the property of the oasis residents at will; others were wise and kind, and were loved by the residents.

The loose rule of the Kingdom of Wind makes the social structure extremely unstable, and conflicts and disputes between oases may break out at any time.

While stopping at an oasis, Yingyue and his two companions met an old man from the oasis who told Yingyue about the plight of the people of the Wind Kingdom.

The old man sighed, "We civilians were born in the desert and live in hardship. Most of the harvest we worked hard to grow every year is confiscated by the lords, and the remaining food is not enough to survive. If there is a drought or a storm, those ruthless lords will not care about our lives. They only care about how much tax they can squeeze from us."

After hearing the old man's words, Yingyue understood the issue of ruling the Wind Kingdom more clearly.

This decentralized and disorderly management made the lives of civilians extremely difficult, while the lords could exploit them at will, resulting in a huge gap between the rich and the poor.

In order to further understand the political ecology of the Kingdom of Wind, Yingyue decided to go to a larger oasis and visit some important lords.

Although these lords of the Kingdom of Wind each have their own territories, they also have many conflicts of interest and interdependence.

Uchiha Kagezuki, Ayane and Chinatsu continued on their journey, crossing desolate deserts and barren lands until they finally came to one of the rich oases of the Kingdom of Wind.

The situation here is much better than in other oases, with exquisite buildings and prosperous trade, but it is also full of oppression and helplessness of the civilians.

Yingyue decided to conduct a deeper investigation in this oasis to understand how the ruling class of the Wind Kingdom operates and their influence on the entire ninja world.

Although the main purpose of this trip was sightseeing, Yingyue knew that obtaining more intelligence and information was crucial to the future peace of the ninja world.
