Xiao Nan looked puzzled.
"If the Land of Rain wants to develop, it needs to rely on the talents of the Land of Rain."
Kitazawa countered, "Do you and the Akatsuki know anything about governing a country?"
"don't know."
Konan said thoughtfully, "It seems we need to have the Daimyo of the Land of Rain recruit a group of talented people."
What are your thoughts on the Daimyo and noble officials of the Land of Rain?
Kitazawa shook his head and asked.
Xiao Nan was taken aback.
She had never thought about this question.
The Akatsuki organization's method of controlling the Land of Rain was simple: they used force to intimidate the daimyo and noble officials of the Land of Rain.
"They are the parasites of the Rain Kingdom."
Kitazawa answered his own question.
"Moths?"
Xiao Nan looked puzzled.
In her memory, the Land of Rain was doing quite well.
But why did Kitazawa call those daimyo and noble officials parasites?
"I'll give you a month's leave."
Kitazawa said with a smile, "Go back to the Land of Rain to investigate, and you will understand what I mean."
Chapter 364 Konan's Change, Ice Release Acquired
December 1st.
The first snow fell in Konoha Village.
In the training ground to the north, Kitazawa was fighting with the puppet he controlled, the puppet that Sasori had given him.
He used the Corpse Bone Pulse: Willow Dance, his entire body flowing around the puppet like water, launching continuous attacks.
Faced with his attacks, the puppet could only defend itself and was unable to retaliate.
The continuous, ten-second-long crashing sounds finally stopped.
Kitazawa increased the distance.
After this battle with the puppet, he has completely mastered the Corpse Bone Pulse: Willow Dance.
Next, learn the Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Camellia to complete his system task.
Of course, in the past month or so, he not only learned the Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Willow, but also the Wood Release: Multiple Wood Clone Technique.
As for the new Wood Release ninjutsu, he decided to learn Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique.
In the original work, Wood Release: Wood Spike Technique was a Wood Release ninjutsu frequently used by Obito Uchiha.
Kitazawa originally thought this was a Wood Release ninjutsu unique to him, because he was the only one who had used it.
But he discovered this Wood Release ninjutsu in the basement of the Senju clan's residence.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Obito Uchiha's Wood Release ninjutsu was taught to him by Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha's Wood Release ninjutsu was clearly not his own creation; it was probably learned from Konoha Village.
Kitazawa learned the Wood Release: Cutting Technique purely because of its astonishing power.
Aside from advanced Wood Release techniques, its destructive power is arguably the strongest.
Its effect is to grow sharp wooden thorns from the arm, which can then pierce the target's body and fork to continue growing.
It can be considered a very cruel and deadly Wood Release ninjutsu.
Footsteps sounded.
Kitazawa subconsciously turned around and saw Konan.
He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
In late October, he gave Konan a month's leave to investigate the political situation in the Land of Rain.
Apart from the ninja villages, the major countries in the ninja world are all in a feudal era, and you can easily guess how bad and corrupt their officialdom is.
After all, ninjas are essentially mercenaries who work for money and do not participate in national governance.
The rule of the ninja world, which prioritizes strength, does not apply to the major nations.
However, Kitazawa did not expect that she would be gone for a month and a half and only return today.
"Kitazawa".
Xiao Nan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
Her month and a half in the Land of Rain was truly an eye-opening experience.
The way those powerful officials and nobles preyed on the common people was truly appalling.
Konan even discovered that half of the money Akatsuki gave to the Land of Rain ended up in their own pockets.
Only half of the remaining amount can be used for the residents of the Land of Rain, and this is only after the Akatsuki organization's military intimidation.
In addition, the Land of Rain also has various heavy taxes.
Residents of the Rain Country who are engaged in the business of silver jewelry and rainwater are subject to foreign exchange taxes.
She dared not imagine how utterly depraved the daimyo and noble officials of the Land of Rain would have been without the Akatsuki organization.
"It seems you've grown."
Kitazawa chuckled and asked, "Well? Did my words come true?"
"Ah."
Konan nodded and said, "I didn't expect the situation in the Land of Rain to be this bad."
"This is actually a normal phenomenon."
Kitazawa explained, "This situation exists not only in the Land of Rain, but also in all major countries."
Essentially, this is a problem inherent in feudal society.
"Then what should I do?"
Xiao Nan quickly asked.
"Just replace them."
Kitazawa paused for a moment and said, "If you don't want to switch, you can use illusion magic."
Xiao Nan was stunned.
From a ninja's perspective, Kitazawa's words were truly outrageous.
According to the ninja code, ninjas are forbidden from attacking their employers.
In theory, all daimyo, nobles, officials, and merchants are employers of ninjas.
That's why few ninjas bothered them.
Even the Akatsuki organization, which had gathered a large number of rogue ninjas, was like this, not to mention the five great ninja villages.
Kitazawa's words were truly unexpected.
She had thought he would have a more ingenious solution, but she hadn't expected it to be so simple and brutal.
"You've been with me for so long, do you still have traditional ninja thinking?"
Kitazawa noticed her expression and asked with a smile.
Xiao Nan snapped out of her daze upon hearing this.
The silver jewelry and rainwater business she was in charge of was already beyond what a traditional ninja should be doing.
"you're right."
Xiao Nan made up her mind and agreed.
As a member of the Akatsuki organization, she was destined to become a ninja on the opposite side of the five great ninja villages, and she really shouldn't have adhered to any ninja code.
Despite saying that, Kitazawa's actions still surprised her.
Why was he able to develop a mindset so different from that of traditional ninjas?
Logically speaking, he grew up in Konoha Village, so there was no reason for him to be so unconventional.
Xiao Nan couldn't understand it, so she could only describe him as a genius.
"Go and handle it, and come back quickly."
Kitazawa waved his hand and said.
"Thank you."
Xiao Nan said with great gratitude.
"nothing."
Kitazawa said nonchalantly.
[Current Mission: Help Haku learn three Ice Release ninjutsu.]
[Mission Reward: Ice Release.]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
Kitazawa wasn't surprised to see the three lines of text appear before him.
After all, Haku has been learning Ice Release: Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal for so long.
Kitazawa waited for a moment, but did not receive a system task similar to the Corpse Bone Pulse.
Is it because Ice Release ninjutsu is rare in the original work?
It seems he'll have to create it himself.
Kitazawa shook his head, put away the puppet, and headed towards the ninja academy.
Although it snowed, it did not affect the training of the gifted students.
"Konoha Dragon God!"
Naruto Uzumaki's passionate voice rang out.
Kitazawa looked at him.
Standing next to him was Chen Baojun, who was looking at Naruto Uzumaki with anticipation.
The wind howled.
Naruto Uzumaki started spinning in place.
A large amount of chakra surged outwards, forming a blue stream of energy.
The nearby snow was swept up by this airflow and immediately turned into powder.
When the airflow reached its limit, a giant blue dragon appeared.
"Have you learned it?"
Kitazawa scrutinized the giant blue dragon.
"That's incredible!"
Rock Lee clenched his fists and said excitedly, "I have to learn it, even if it costs me my youth!"
Although he learned the Leaf Village Dragon God Technique along with Naruto Uzumaki, he was clearly lagging behind.
Uchiha Sasuke instinctively gripped his Thunder God Sword tighter.
Without a doubt, in future sparring matches, he will face the Leaf Village Dragon God directly.
