Chapter 285 - Chapter 285: Cunning, Very Cunning

Konoha City, northwest, in a house.

Ōnoki, Kurotsuchi, and Akatsuchi were drinking tea in the tea room. As for Kitsuchi, he had been sent to the former Land of Lightning to take up a post.

"Old man, just say what you want to say. We've already had three cups of tea." Kurotsuchi rolled her eyes, a little impatient.

"Sigh... I just don't know how to start." Ōnoki sighed.

Kurotsuchi, who could become the Tsuchikage in the original story, was naturally not stupid. Thinking of her grandfather's behavior and the recent rumors, she instantly understood.

"Old man, you want to send me to the World Master to compete for favor?" Kurotsuchi's expression was a bit strange.

Ōnoki smiled. "That sounds a bit harsh. I'm your grandfather; how could I harm you?"

"Of course, it depends on your wishes. If you're unwilling, then forget it."

"Iwagakure doesn't have only one beautiful female ninja. Just sending someone to show sincerity is enough, so we don't stand out."

"Grandpa thinks your standards are high, and perhaps the World Master can catch your eye."

"If even the World Master can't catch your eye, I'm afraid you'll never get married in your life."

Kurotsuchi thought for a moment and laughed. "Except for being a lecher, the World Master is actually quite good."

"Being a lecher isn't considered a flaw for the World Master or anyone else. It makes him seem more approachable."

"Being too high and mighty without any hobbies actually makes people more fearful." Ōnoki said meaningfully.

Kurotsuchi pondered, then smiled a moment later. "For Iwagakure, I'm willing to give it a try."

"There are many beauties around the World Master, and now so many beauties have come to Konoha. It's truly a cloud of beauties. It's not certain if he'll even take a fancy to me."

Ōnoki said seriously, "Don't do it for Iwagakure. My old bones can still hold on for a few years."

"Leaving aside the end of Iwagakure's history, if you don't have a good impression of the World Master, forget it."

Kurotsuchi paused, then put her hands on her hips and smiled. "Leaving that aside, few female ninja in the major ninja villages don't have a good impression of the World Master, right?"

"I've decided. I'll give it a try."

"Mm. I'll find some more female ninja and make a list to send up."

...

Konoha City, southwest, in a house.

Gaara, Temari, and Kankurō were gathered together.

The revived Chiyo and the Fourth Kazekage Rasa were working in the former Land of Rivers and Land of Earth, respectively.

It had to be said that Rasa was really lucky in this world. After being dead for so many years, he could still be requested to be revived by the son he had tortured since childhood.

Although Temari and Kankurō helped plead his case, and considering that the Sunagakure faction needed more combat power, luck was still luck.

Now, the three siblings were very loyal to Kageyama Kogetsu, working like they were on steroids every day.

Because Kageyama Kogetsu promised that as long as they accumulated enough merit, he could discuss with the Sage of Six Paths to ask for another resurrection quota to revive their mother—Karura.

Rasa treated Temari and Kankurō well, so the eldest daughter and second son had deeper feelings for their father than their mother.

Because their mother, Karura, died when giving birth to Gaara, they didn't spend much time together.

Besides the Jinchūriki reason, Rasa's resentment towards Gaara was likely also due to his wife's death because of Gaara's birth.

But the pot calls the kettle black. Rasa didn't consider how much harm having three children in four years would do to a woman's body...

Among the family, Gaara, who was always protected by sand, had the deepest feelings for his mother, Karura.

"You should all know the news. What should we do?"

"I don't know about the major ninja villages, but the former small ninja villages have already taken action." Gaara said calmly.

Although the major ninja villages had been disbanded, they instinctively banded together, forming factions.

As long as it didn't go so far as to affect official business, Kageyama Kogetsu didn't intend to interfere. Not having factions would be abnormal. Overt factions were better than covert ones.

"With Lady Pakura, isn't that enough?"

"I see Lady Pakura is quite close to Maki and us." Kankurō, still wearing face paint, said in a deep voice.

"Not enough, not stable enough. Father has come back to life after all."

"It's best to have someone stable enough by the World Master's side. Besides the registered female ninja, it's best to have a heavyweight figure."

"This not only concerns the future life of the Sunagakure faction but also when Mother can be revived."

"Of course, I'm not putting pressure on you. We are family. We can't sacrifice one family member to save another."

"I think with the World Master's magnanimity, as long as we show our attitude and work hard, the Sunagakure faction won't live badly."

"Mother can also be revived; it's just a matter of time. At our age, we can afford to wait."

"Sister, just follow your own thoughts."

"No matter what choice you make, Kankurō and I will support you unconditionally."

"Right?"

Kankurō nodded repeatedly. "Yes, we support all your decisions!"

Temari laughed heartily. "Haha... hey, hey, you two brats don't need to be so serious."

"If I don't want to do something, no one can force me. If anyone dares to force me, I'll fight. If I can't win, I'll just die."

"Submitting my name is nothing. I don't have any ill feelings towards the World Master; on the contrary, I have a good impression of him."

"To be precise, when Sunagakure was gone, I didn't have a good impression of the World Master."

"After Father and Grandma Chiyo were revived and the living conditions in Sunagakure initially improved, I had some good impression."

"When the Ministry of Environment implemented the World Master's instructions and prepared to spend twenty years using various methods to turn the Land of Wind into an oasis, I had a very good impression."

"The World Master is so smart to come up with so many seemingly feasible methods."

"Especially the idea of replacing the vast yellow sand with underwater silt and sorting out the underground water system, it's brilliant!"

In a non-supernatural world, replacing yellow sand with fertile underwater silt is unrealistic, and the amount of engineering is terrifyingly large. In a supernatural world, it is possible to realize.

There was no need to lay too much silt; a thin layer was enough.

Because Kageyama Kogetsu could use his terrifyingly massive chakra and Sage Mode to influence the gathering of natural energy.

Lay a good foundation, then let the people below work according to the plan, and within twenty years, the desert would definitely turn into an oasis.

The Land of Wind could do it, and so could the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.

As the master of this world, Kageyama Kogetsu naturally didn't mind putting in effort to make his home better.

If one day this planet could be restored to its state a thousand years ago, that would be wonderful.

Of course, it was impossible in the short term. Governing a wasteland with extinct vitality was much harder than governing a desert.

Gaara and Kankurō carefully observed Temari's appearance upon hearing this, and only relaxed after finding that there was indeed no reluctance.

...

Former Hokage Tower, now Kyōei Tower, World Master's Office.

Kageyama Kogetsu sat comfortably in his office chair with his legs crossed, smiling as he flipped through the lists handed up from below...

Currently, Kageyama Kogetsu was still managing the whole world using the methods he used to manage Konoha because various supporting buildings hadn't been built yet.

When they were initially completed, various departments would move, and Kageyama Kogetsu would also change his management method.

Morning meetings didn't need to be too frequent, but they were necessary. Kageyama Kogetsu wanted to experience it.

Seeing familiar names appearing on the list from time to time, the smile on Kageyama Kogetsu's face became richer and brighter...

The two pieces of news he personally released using his clone worked very well.

Isn't this creating competition?

He was truly cunning, very cunning!
