Dark Naruto's acting life

Carrying the second generation's body, Kakashi and his three companions left the Land of Whirlpools that day.

Things went better than expected.

It made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.

Jiraiya even planned to sacrifice his own life to appease Naruto's resentment towards Konoha in exchange for the body.

On the way back, he had already thought of his last words.

I tried to play the emotional card by adding some sentimentality and some confession, but I didn't expect that none of these would be useful.

……

After seeing the guests off, Naruto continued with his busy work.

Since his strength improvement has reached a bottleneck, Naruto turned his time and energy to the construction of Uzushio Village.

At this stage, the Uzushio Village is in a state of disrepair. Apart from a little money, it lacks everything, especially manpower.

Naruto knew that this was a big problem, so the first thing he had to do was to set up the ninja school.

In fact, he was already planning on recruiting students when he first dealt with the nobles.

The campus has already started construction.

Now that the school has its basic outline and daily training is not a problem, it is time to start enrolling students.

When it comes to students, Naruto has no worries at all.

When Naruto reorganized the new government, he ordered a census to be held in various places.

According to statistics, there are three million people in the country of Whirlpool.

Among the three million people, about one-fifth are children and teenagers of school age.

After the enrollment news was released, almost one-third of the 600,000 children and teenagers wanted to enroll and become ninjas.

After preliminary selections in various places, after eliminating those who were too weak, too old, or had obvious character flaws, 50,000 of the 200,000 people met the admission standards set by Naruto.

This number is considerable, even terrifying.

Due to various obstacles such as learning thresholds and tuition fees, a country of the same size as the Land of Whirlpools would definitely not have so many people willing to become ninjas.

You should know that among the 20,000 people who settled in Konoha Village, only 12,000 were ninjas. (These were the registered ninjas on the surface, but the major families generally had their own secret combat forces.)

This is the configuration of a ninja village of a superpower.

The size of the Whirlpool Country cannot be compared with others.

Of course, this does not mean that the Fire Nation can only have so many ninja villages. In fact, this is the result of the Fire Nation's deliberate suppression.

After all, the power possessed by ninjas is too strong. If it is not restrained, big problems will arise sooner or later.

In addition to the ninja army under the daimyo's control to balance the ninja village, suppressing numbers is the best means.

However, these more than 10,000 ninjas were not enough when war really came. After being distributed to various fronts, the troops were very sparse.

Therefore, each country adopted a special system of "reserve ninja".

This is what is often called the reserve force.

According to past experience, once war breaks out, countries will relax restrictions, and the major ninja villages will begin to summon these reservists for training, and then mass-produce them, forming a considerable combat force in a short period of time.

Taking Konoha as an example, the original 10,000 ninjas in the village would increase fivefold or even more than tenfold in a short period of time. Not to mention the strength of those who rushed to the battlefield, the number of reserve combat forces alone is something that some small countries and villages cannot achieve.

This is what is called the foundation of a great country.

Naruto plans to learn from the ninja school system, but he does not intend to take the reserve soldier cannon fodder route, but instead wants to take the elite route.

There are 50,000 people in the Whirlpool Country who are willing to become ninjas. Naruto will send the ninjas in the village out for training.

After training for a period of time, a group of people will be eliminated, and they will continue to be eliminated after training until the really good seedlings are selected and then they will be brought to the Uzushio Village for real elite training.

According to the estimates of Naruto and others, if a total of 10,000 people could be left behind, it would be enough for the Whirlpool Country to guard the border and go out on missions to make money.

After gathering people to discuss the details, Naruto began to send people out to screen students, which would take about a month.

Taking advantage of this free time, Naruto turned around and started to complete the protective barrier of Uzushio Village.

He is not an expert in this area, but some of the Sound Four and the Uzumaki clan are masters.

At the edge of Uzushio Village, there is an underground secret passage.

Naruto saw the Four Sound Ninjas and some members of the Uzumaki clan here.

At this moment, they were carving the spell.

See Naruto appear.

Everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Sir."

"No need to be polite." Naruto waved his hand. "How's the progress?"

"Yes." Kidomaru of the Sound Four reported, "Thanks to the adults' help in digging the underground tunnel and replenishing chakra, we are working day and night and should be able to complete it in a month. But the chakra source for activating the barrier..."

"Don't worry about that. I've already prepared it. You just need to finish setting up the barrier as soon as possible. Once the barrier is completed, I will give you a generous reward. If you can finish it ahead of schedule, it will be considered a great achievement and you will get an extra reward."

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was another month later.

Not much happened during this month.

There are only a few things worth mentioning.

First of all, after leaving the Land of Whirlpools, Kakashi and others immediately returned with money to redeem the body of the First Generation. The journey was smooth and there were no problems at all.

Shortly afterwards, Granny Chiyo found time to return to the Kingdom of Wind and announced that the Kingdom of Wind was willing to establish diplomatic relations with the Uzushio Village.

Afterwards, Naruto sent Kabuto, Deidara, and Gaara to the Land of Earth to negotiate an alliance between the two villages with the Iwakage.

The two sides hit it off.

In the Land of Earth, Ōnoki has always considered profit in everything.

The Fire Nation has become too powerful due to the return of the first Hokage, and they, the Earth Nation, are in urgent need of an ally to form an alliance to resist the pressure.

Uzumaki Naruto is a very good ally.

They have a common enemy, but no conflict of interest, and their territories are not adjacent, which makes them a perfect choice for forming an alliance to gain power.

There are two other things about the village.

A few days ago, the ninjas sent by Naruto to select outstanding students had already selected the first batch of qualified students and sent them to the Uzushio Village.

The number of students in this first batch is about 500.

These are carefully selected people with considerable talent.

In addition, those who are talented but not very talented, or those who have not yet fully demonstrated their talents, will be trained in other branches and observed here. If there are outstanding performances in the later stage, they will be sent to the Uzushio Village for education, while those who fail will be sent back to their hometown.

Complete survival of the fittest, this is Naruto's training policy.

Finally, just two days ago, the team responsible for making the village barrier announced that they had completed the carving of the curse seal, and Naruto could activate the barrier at any time as long as he wanted.

However, Naruto was not in a hurry.

He is waiting for the right opportunity.

……

Two days later, the Kages from the ninja villages of various countries received an invitation letter.

The invitation letter came from the Uzushio Village and was written by the acting village chief of the Uzushio Village, Jungoro Uzumaki.

The letter consisted of only a few short lines.

The general content is: The initial construction of the new Uzushio Village has been completed, and a celebration ceremony will be held on XX day. All Kages are sincerely invited to attend the ceremony.

……

After reading the letter, the Raikage's brows twitched wildly.

He has been under considerable pressure recently.

He especially hates to see documents related to the Whirlpool Country.

This letter was completely unlucky for him.

The Raikage tore up the letter and said, "Damn you Uzumaki Naruto! You built this village with our money, this is a provocation! Fine! I will go and see what you are up to!"

……

Kirigakure.

Since the death of the Fourth Hokage, there has been no new Mizukage in Kirigakure, and the affairs of the village are managed by the elder "Genshi". (That is the one who gave the hat to Mei Terumi during the Five Kage Summit. It was at that time that Mei Terumi officially accepted the position of Mizukage based on her own ability and the achievement of seeing through the Fourth Hokage being manipulated by others.)

The master, who was leaning on a crutch, pressed the letter from the Land of Whirlpools on the desk.

"Xiao Mei, take a look at this."

The person called "Xiao Mei" is Mei Terumi.

She picked up the letter from the table and began to read it.

Soon, she finished reading the content.

Master Yuan was old, and his voice was trembling: "Xiao Mei, what do you think of this letter?"

Mei Terumi opened her red lips slightly with a smile on her face: "If you ask me, of course I want to go and take a look."

Yuanshi: "Yes, you are right. Because of the tragedy of Bloody Mist Village caused by the Fourth Hokage, the talents of our Kirigakure are almost wiped out. After so many years, we have finally recovered a little bit of our vitality. It is time to go out and see the changes in this world. And the information sent back by Qing some time ago, that the island and barren mountain that was bombed is also suspected to be related to the Whirlpool Country. Take this opportunity to test their depth, so as not to be killed by the enemy one day without knowing what happened. Not bad, Xiaomei, you can think so much, it's good."

Mei Terumi seemed not to have heard what the Master said. She muttered to herself, "There must be a lot of good young ninjas gathered in the Whirlpool Country. I really want to go and see. Maybe there will be my soulmate, my marriage partner, and I will get married... Ouch! I am so embarrassed!"

"puff!!!"

Hearing Mei Terumi mumbling to herself, Master Yuan spat out the hot tea he had just drunk.

……

Konoha.

Tobirama's exclusive research room.

Hashirama's body lay flat on the test table.

A team of medical ninjas are currently working on modifying this body.

Or rather...repair.

Tobirama and Hashirama were discussing the letter at the side.

Tobirama: "Brother, what do you think?"

Hashirama said weakly: "Who knows, I really want to gamble and drink."

"No." Tobirama snorted coldly, "Damn kid, I know what his letter means without any guessing. I want to see what tricks you can come up with."
