Chapter 65: Dramatic Changes in the Bear Kingdom
"So, Lady Vanilla, what is the organization's goal?"
Half a month later, inside the Star Shadow Building in the rebuilt Star Ninja Village, Ye Xing voiced his question.
At this moment, he was in his office, handling government affairs with Vanilla Uzumaki. On the opposite table, Gato was looking at the statistics of the Star Village's finances, his expression so vicious that he wanted to devour Gato, the former 'Third Star Shadow'.
On the sofa to the side, little Xiangling was obediently reading the secret techniques scroll of the Uzumaki clan, occasionally pouring her mother a cup of tea.
Thinking about the changes that have occurred recently, Ye Xing had a strange feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
This mysterious and powerful organization, after conquering their Star Ninja Village, implemented policies such as curfews and entry/exit controls, but did not adopt a high-pressure rule over the villagers.
On the contrary, Kado's caravans traveled between the capital of the Bear Country and the Ninja Village, collecting daily necessities for the villagers. They also purchased the herbs the villagers gathered in the forest, the game they captured, and the local specialties they produced, and then transported them out for sale.
More than 230 ninjas were also put to training.
After a strength test by Uchiha Hikaru and Kakuzu, forty-five people were rated as Chunin, five as Special Jonin, and only four people—Akahoshi, Yotaka, Shizou, and Yohoshi—were rated as Jonin.
The remaining 170-plus people were all ordinary genin, and some of them could only master two or three minor ninjutsu.
After layoffs, the Anbu only had seventeen Chunin, two Special Jonin, and two Jonin.
Then, the newly appointed Jonin squad leader, Uchiha Hikaru, and the Anbu captain, Kakuto, put the entire Hoshigakure ninja under rigorous training.
At the same time, Menma also brought out some D-rank, C-rank, and even B-rank ninjutsu, and built a ninjutsu library.
Those ninjas who train hard and achieve excellent results can exchange points and battle merits for rewards.
For the ninjas of Hoshigakure, who were mostly commoners, this was too tempting!
In just half a month, Xingren Village underwent tremendous changes.
The ninjas no longer need to train in the Meteorite Training Chamber.
This is what Ye Xing has always wanted to change. He is well aware of the side effects of the meteorite cultivation, and there are a small amount of residues in his own body. Many children who cultivated at the same time as him have already died from the side effects of the meteorite cultivation.
Although they were conquered.
However, the ninjas of Hoshigakure did not lose their determination to pursue power. On the contrary, they felt awe and admiration because the one who trained them was the powerful ninja who had defeated them that night.
The villagers also developed a favorable impression of the new rulers because their quality of life had improved.
The entire village has accepted the fact that they are ruled by a group of powerful ninjas who appeared out of nowhere, and some have even become supporters.
So Ye Xing felt very strange. They were the ones being conquered, so why were the Shura treating them so well? And what was their purpose?
"Purpose? To unify the ninja world." Uzumaki Vanilla said without looking up as she handled her official duties.
"Unify the ninja world?!?" The old man was startled, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground.
His Adam's apple bobbed.
Although Hoshigakure has always considered itself "the second-best ninja village after the Five Great Nations," the successive Hoshigakure leaders have all known that their small ninja village is no match for the Five Great Nations, and could be easily overwhelmed even by ninja villages like Kusagakure and Amegakure.
If it weren't for the Hell Valley natural barrier, and the fact that most of the Bear Country is forested with a small population, sandwiched between the two great powers, the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, as a buffer zone...
It may have already been invaded by other ninja villages.
At the same time, a dramatic change occurred in Xingnin Village.
The capital of the Bear Country, Daimyo Prefecture.
"No...don't kill me! Please don't kill me!" A dignified and elegant man crawled backward in a disgraceful manner.
Outside, the blood of more than a dozen samurai and ninjas stained the walls of the daimyo's mansion. Wearing a mask, Uzumaki Menma frowned slightly as he looked at the water stain that had been dragged on the ground.
He shot out a kunai from his hand, killing the daimyo instantly.
"Sir, what should we do next?" Outside the house, six ninjas wearing headbands from the Star Ninja Village knelt on the ground.
Uchiha Hikaru stood in front of these Star Ninjas, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the ninjas and the corpses scattered throughout the Daimyo's residence.
When her gaze swept over the six Star Ninjas, they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.
These six Star Ninjas were all Chunin who excelled under Uchiha Hikaru's training and were also supporters of "Lord Shura," and were selected to participate in this mission.
The points earned from participating in missions can be exchanged for C-rank ninjutsu in the village's ninjutsu library, which is incredibly tempting for these ninjas from humble backgrounds!
"Leave the women and children, kill everyone else," Menma ordered.
"Yes!" The five Star Ninjas immediately set off after receiving the order, scattering in all directions to begin a bloodbath against the nobles of the entire capital!
Menma jumped to the highest point of Daimyo Prefecture and looked down at the capital of the Bear Country, which was situated on a plain and bisected by a river.
The entire population of the Bear Kingdom is only about one million, but the capital city alone has a population of 120,000.
Seventy percent of the population of the Bear Country is concentrated in the western plains, while the central and eastern forests are home to mountain villages with the smallest populations.
This Daming Mansion was actually just a larger courtyard, with no more than twenty houses in total.
Six Star Ninjas, working in pairs, moved among the rooftops of the Bear Country's capital, purgeing the nobles of the Bear Country house by house according to the pre-arranged routes and maps.
Over the next few days, Menma and his fellow Star Ninjas purged the nobility in various cities of the Land of Bears, attempting to completely eradicate the ruling class of the entire country!
Then they replaced them with their own people.
Of course, some nobles with a good reputation among the people would be spared, but their families would not be spared.
It is undeniable that there were some good people among these nobles who would do things that violated their class, but the noble class itself could not possibly be good.
This upheaval quickly swept across the entire Bear Kingdom, but it mainly affected the aristocratic class in various cities, with little impact on the common people.
Menma had Kado prepare some manpower in the group and the Star Ninja Village, and through a national investigation of the Land of Bears, he promoted some low-level officials from commoner backgrounds, and quickly completed the control of this small country with a population of no more than one million.
But inevitably, some rumors also got out.
At the end of Konoha Calendar 54, a dramatic change occurred in the Land of Bears in the western part of the continent!
It is said that the ninjas of Hoshigakure in the Land of Bears suddenly launched an attack, massacring the nobles of the Land of Bears, including the daimyo, and effectively taking control of the Land of Bears.
The news quickly spread to the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind.
The daimyo and nobles of both countries took the matter of ninjas slaughtering daimyo very seriously and urgently summoned the kage of their respective ninja villages.
Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, far away in the Land of Fire, the Third Hokage picked up a strange request and frowned in deep thought.
