As long as the Witch is in this country, this country will not be affected by war, the residents of the Land of Demons firmly believe this.
And the facts have proven their belief correct.
With such high esteem, their Lady Witch suddenly wants to set up a dedicated military zone in the country, and naturally, these people won't oppose it.
After all, no matter what happens, Lady Witch will bless them.
However, the vehicles and various construction materials being transported toward the northern military district are so numerous that one can't help but think there will be some big move there.
A while ago, roads started being repaired near Shion City, and now, it's uncertain what buildings will be constructed.
"Lord Hakushi, the staff has been gathered."
The manager responsible for statistics reported to Hakushi.
Hakushi is currently at the northernmost part of the northern military district of Shion City.
Because the expansion needs to start from this side, it's impossible to expand the territory toward the residential and commercial areas, so the only option is to continue expanding toward the back side.
Through the tireless efforts of the Earth Style Ninjas within the organization, the heavy stone wall, towering tens of meters high to the north, has been dismantled, revealing a vast plain area.
At the end of the plain is a lush forest, a lake, and shadows of mountains faintly visible in the distant mist.
This time, over a thousand people were mobilized for the construction, among which were twenty Earth Style Ninjas, as well as fifty Taijutsu Ninjas whose strength and speed were enhanced by Natural Energy, with the rest being ordinary workers.
Prior to this, these ninjas had also adapted to construction tasks in advance, so they could quickly start formal work, given the strong adaptability of ninjas.
It's not that Hakushi doesn't want to invest all personnel into it, but because this is already the limit. There are many places in need of manpower now, and it's impossible to commit everyone to construction work.
With over a thousand ordinary workers, plus twenty Earth Style Ninjas and fifty Taijutsu Ninjas, according to the original plan, it should be completed within a month.
After all, the area to be expanded this time is very large, especially the ninja training area, which is a significant military force of the country, and it needs to avoid contact with residential and commercial areas.
Unlike Konoha, where ninjas always live mixed with residents, decreasing efficiency and blurring the concepts of military and civilians.
In Hakushi's view, ninjas are essentially soldiers with extraordinary powers, a crucial department for the development of a prosperous and strong country, and confidentiality must be enforced first.
The Ninja School is a category of the military department and must also implement absolute confidentiality measures for the safety of the public.
Therefore, from the beginning, Hakushi thoroughly separated the two different groups of military and civilians.
Those active in residential and commercial areas on usual days are members of the security department responsible for patrol tasks.
The construction work here is in full swing, and Hakushi headed to another area, having been busy with these affairs with no time for research.
However, a considerable number of research talents have gathered within the organization, covering not only Ninja Techniques and Chakra but also research on society and history, which is an important field requiring specialized personnel.
Hakushi doesn't think that simply transplanting knowledge from his past life can solve everything.
The historical development between the two worlds differs significantly, and with the special existence of Chakra, some conventional knowledge might be erroneous.
Hakushi exerted great effort to find talents knowledgeable in this area, documenting all their experiences and learning in book form to pass down.
In Hakushi's view, the knowledge of these people is a cultural treasure worthy of being passed on.
Understanding the essence of things, learning past history, summarizing experiences and lessons will promote the growth and maturity of the world, rather than staying mired in the current distorted environment, trapped without escape.
Material is the foundation of everything, while spiritual and intellectual civilizations will lead society and the world to a higher level, fostering people's will for freedom and peace.
In the world of ninjas, merely having force present will only continue to pile up problems, which will then suddenly erupt at a certain period, leading to consecutive Ninja Realm wars.
The same was true in the Warring States Era, and after the establishment of the one country, one village system, the fundamental problem remained unresolved.
Yet it's not without any growth; at least, a country's complete structure has emerged.
In the past, countries relied on hiring ninja groups to invade other countries' territories, only making achievements in economic and political fields, lacking essential military force.
Because essentially, those ninja races did not belong to any countries; this powerful military force existed independently.
After the establishment of the one country, one village, ninja races formed villages, and these villages attracted more people to join, creating a strong military force that belonged to the country.
Only then can a country be considered complete.
In Hakushi's view, this is the achievement truly worthy of approval by the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Race back then.
They promoted the completeness of the country, making it no longer rely on hiring external ninja forces, but rather developing its own ninja military force, achieving better personnel and wealth management.
There are people responsible for the work here, and Hakushi doesn't need to be here all the time.
Next, Hakushi plans to conduct an on-site inspection in various regions of the Land of Demons to see if there are any issues he hasn't noticed.
