After settling the matter of Guren, Konan then looked at Miroku and Shion.
Are all the rulers of the countries so beautiful now?
Konan was puzzled by this.
A few days ago, the Queen of Rōran, Sāra, had given her a deep impression.
Mainly, Sāra was too bold.
To dare to come to the empire with two small guards, wasn't she afraid of being captured and made a bandit's wife on the way?
On the contrary, this mother and daughter were much smarter. They had brought many people, but even so, they had lost quite a few.
A chaotic era was coming.
Many small ninja had gone to become bandits.
In the sea area around the Land of Water, the number of pirates was increasing day by day.
If this went on, the Great Age of Piracy would be opened sooner or later.
Konan sat elegantly in her chair and looked at the mother and daughter, "Priestess... can you make the decision?"
Miroku nodded, "Before I came, all the ministers had agreed."
She has boldness and foresight.
For Sāra and Miroku, Konan admired them.
At a time when all the countries were watching, to have made up their minds to join the empire, for a woman, was rare.
Konan closed the letter of submission and said:
"The Land of Demons will be changed to the City of Demons. The city lord will have to undergo three to five years of training and will only be allowed to return to the country after her strength has reached the standard."
"The Soldat unit will also send people to test. If anyone with strong talent is found, they can also join the team for training."
Hearing this, Miroku's eyes lit up.
Strong talent?
Little Shion's talent is unparalleled, even in the historical records of the priestesses.
Noticing Miroku's expression, she glanced at the cute little Shion.
Konan acknowledged, "You're right. Her talent is indeed good."
"In terms of soul, she is the most special little girl I have ever seen."
"She can join the army."
The inherited energy of the priestess of the Land of Demons itself had the effect of baptizing the soul.
It could even separate the heart and thoughts, and could even seal the soul of a demon.
In the ninja world, the priestess was also one of the few people who had some understanding of the soul.
Miroku was surprised, "Shion is only four years old. Can she also?"
Thinking of this, Konan couldn't help but smile, "My Majesty has always attached great importance to children. Because the younger the age, the higher the plasticity."
Lucian: When did I say that?
Konan: You said it in your sleep last night. I was listening on the side.
"If you're really talking about age, the minimum age for joining the Soldat unit is two. Two years ago, there was one..."
Konan's words made even little Shion's eyes widen.
So young, just able to run, right?
Is her brain good enough for learning?
Kimimaro: I'm smart!
"Then thank you, my lord..."
Kakashi Hatake was the genius representative of the Soldat unit. Miroku also hoped that Shion would grow up soon.
At this, Miroku hesitated.
Konan said softly, "If you have any questions, ask them as soon as possible."
Miroku was a little apprehensive, "...His Majesty erased Mōryō and saved the Land of Demons, and also indirectly saved my life."
Konan's eyebrows arched slightly, "So?"
"...I want to thank him in person."
After Miroku had said this, Shion, who was holding her hand, clearly felt that her mother's hand was sweating.
"His Majesty is busy with official duties. There's no..."
Subconsciously, Konan's words changed, "But I can ask for you."
According to Konan's understanding of Lucian, he was a great king who cared about his people, but he was also good at delegating power.
What did 'delegating power' mean?
He would leave the affairs of national development and management to his subordinates. He would only come forward to make decisions on major events.
By definition, he was idle.
Lucian felt that this method was not bad, not lazy.
It was enough to grasp the general direction.
He was not a king of an ancient dynasty, who was worried every day about whether the country would be in chaos, whether someone would rebel, and in the end, he had to manage everything himself, getting up earlier than a chicken and sleeping later than a dog, and being tired to death.
Lucian: A king as excellent as me, working hard to become stronger is the hard truth.
After leaving many clones in the Pure Land to train, develop new abilities, comprehend time and space, and maintain the concept of exploring other worlds, and so on.
Lucian said he was smart.
The clone jutsu was really good.
Not afraid of hardship, not afraid of fatigue, not complaining, not afraid of death, and so on, were all the advantages of a clone.
"Your Majesty, Miroku wants to see you."
"I won't see her."
Looking at the smiling Konan, Lucian said.
What's so good to see?
He didn't deal with Mōryō to save people.
When the time comes, she can stand out from the Soldat unit and attract my attention again.
"Just in time..."
Lucian lightly tapped the void, and a holographic projection map of the ninja world appeared in front.
This map was currently incomplete.
It included the Land of Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning, Earth, Rōran, Rice Paddies, Rivers, Waves, Waterfalls, Iron, Frost, Grass, Snow, Bears, Sky, Claws, Birds, Honey, Bean Paste, Sea, Stone, Mud, Tea, Vegetables, Moon, Oolong, Demons, Swamps, and Keys.
In addition to the destroyed Land of Whirlpools and the current Wandenreich.
At present, the empire had recorded more than thirty countries, each with its own characteristics.
For example, the Land of the Moon was extremely rich!
The Land of Sky was militarily and technologically advanced.
Although it had been robbed once by Orochimaru, it had recovered well in the past dozen years.
The Land of Sky: My life is too hard!
There were also prosperous places like the southern Red Continent, but they were not countries.
There were also such continents in the ninja world.
In the sea area between the Land of Water, the Land of Fire, and the Land of Lightning, the reason there were pirates was that there were too many small islands.
"There are also many countries that have not been marked..."
Lucian looked at the map.
The ninja world was, after all, a planet.
In the original work, people from far overseas had also come to Konoha. The world was big.
Then, Lucian looked at the beautiful Konan.
"The Land of Grass, the Land of Birds, the Land of Rivers, the Land of Waterfalls, which are around the Wandenreich, and the Land of Bears, which is between the Land of Demons and the empire."
"Before tomorrow night, I want to hear the news that all the territory belongs to the empire."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Konan's eyes lit up.
To take down five small countries at once? It just so happens that they are all countries between the three countries of Wind, Earth, and Fire.
And it's the opening before a full-scale war.
Lucian continued, "For this mission, the others don't have to go, but Kushina and Mei Terumī must go."
At this, Lucian wanted to press the two girls down and give them a good beating.
"Playing games at home every day, and even opening an arcade. Do you want to die from overwork?"
Konan chuckled, a beautiful laugh.
If she remembered correctly, after returning from the parallel world, the two girls had been staying at home and playing games.
They hadn't been out for six days, right?
Thinking of this, Lucian said, "Go and find them now. Take care of them for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Konan's eyes darted about.
Care and concern.
This word is so familiar.
Behind the central building of the empire, there was a magnificent and spectacular villa area. The scenery here was extremely beautiful, with mountains, water, and gardens.
The villa area for the female elites of the empire.
The male elites' villa area was in the suburbs.
Today, who knows what had happened.
In Kushina's villa, it was full of beautiful young ladies.
"Hit him! Hit him quickly! You pig teammate!"
"To the side, to the side! Ah, I've discovered your attribute. You're a road idiot."
"No, this is too messy."
"..."
When Konan walked into Kushina's house, she couldn't help but be stunned.
The wide hall on the second floor was filled with computers and various game equipment.
Kushina, Mei Terumī, Kaguya, Sāra, and Miroku were a team!
Mikoto, Mei Ling, Tsunade, Pakura, and Yugito were a team!
And there were little Shion and little Guren shouting '666' in the back!
Konan: "..."
What's the situation?
If I remember correctly, Kaguya should be reading in the library.
Tsunade and Mikoto should be designing clothes.
Pakura and Yugito, the two captains, should be in the Soldat unit.
Sāra has just dealt with the affairs of Rōran. Shouldn't she be going to the army for a baptism now?
What surprised Konan the most was that Miroku and Shion had just brought their country to submit. Weren't they supposed to be shopping to understand the customs of the empire?
And there was little Guren.
Are her injuries healed so quickly?
"...Twelve of them are all gathered together."
Konan suddenly felt that it was a miracle.
The culprit was not Kushina and Mei Terumī, definitely not.
"Ahem!"
Konan coughed lightly.
This immediately startled all the women. Then Kushina said, "Konan, you're here? Quickly replace Mei Terumī. She's a pig teammate."
Mei Terumī glared, "It's clearly your skills that are not good, and you're commanding randomly."
"I..."
"His Majesty has an order!"
Just as Kushina was about to speak, Konan said with a smile, her eyes shining.
In an instant, all the computers were turned off.
They all stood up straight.
Then, Kushina said pitifully, "I... I've been playing games for a few days to relax. I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"
Konan said with a smile, "Of course it's no problem to relax. But His Majesty has heard that you and Mei Terumī haven't been out for a few days, so he has specially asked me to take care of you."
"Care... concern?"
Kushina stuttered.
"Take... care?"
Mei Terumī's eyelashes began to tremble.
Hearing this, Tsunade immediately raised her hand, "I have something to do. I'm leaving now."
"That's right. The clothes I designed for His Majesty are almost ready. I'll go and have a look..."
Mikoto said.
Kaguya stretched and said lazily, "I haven't finished my book. Bye-bye."
Yugito and Pakura said in unison, "There's something to do in the army. The new recruit, Sāra, is also leaving."
"I'm sorry to have bothered you."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Miroku bowed to Konan and left with Shion and Guren.
Kushina: "..."
Mei Terumī, Ling: "..."
"Waaah! I'm so pitiful..."
In the end, under Mei Ling's dumbfounded gaze, Kushina and Mei Terumī were on the verge of tears and were lying on the sofa.
Mei Ling: A spanking?
"Konan, hit... hit lightly."
Konan took out a forty-meter wooden board and chuckled, "If you're not at ease with me, you can ask His Majesty..."
"No! No!"
Mei Terumī and Kushina shook their heads repeatedly.
As representatives of those who had been beaten by Lucian since they were young, the two women's memories were still fresh.
"Then I'll begin!"
As Konan was preparing to hit them, she muttered in a low voice, "Shout a little louder. Maybe His Majesty is watching. Do you understand?"
Kushina and Mei Terumī nodded repeatedly and immediately shouted.
"Aaaaargh! It hurts so much!"
"It's too painful! Someone save me!"
Konan: "..."
I haven't even hit you yet!
Lucian: "..."
Forget it. I can't bear to watch.
