Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

At the banquet, Kaguya Ling and other Kaguya people were very cautious, and Dihuangwan and the other two also felt uncomfortable eating.

Dihuang Wan broke the awkward situation. He looked at Kaguya Ling and said, "Ling, the Kaguya clan suffered heavy losses during World War II. How has the Kaguya clan recovered in the years since the end of World War II?"

When Hui Ye Ling heard this, her heart tightened, and she thought to herself: "Are you asking about the situation of my clan? Are you going to recruit my ninjas to carry out dangerous missions again?"

"Lord Mizukage, except for me, the number of jonin in my clan is the lowest among all the ninjas in the Kirigakure. The younger generation in the clan still needs time to grow! I wonder..."

"Ling, don't worry. I'm not here to recruit ninjas from your clan, but to see how your clan is recovering! Similarly, I will visit other ninja clans as well!"

"Is that so? Lord Mizukage, what I just said is indeed the truth. I didn't dare to hide anything!"

Dihuangwan certainly knew that he had not concealed anything. With Dihuangwan's perception ability, he could easily find out all the details of the Hyuga clan!

"Ling, regarding the two reform policies I proposed half a month ago, I wonder what you, the Hyuga clan, think!"

"Mr. Mizukage, I think it would be a good thing for Kirigakure to resume communication with other villages. The islands of the Water Country are isolated overseas, with limited resources, and it takes too long to recuperate, especially in terms of finances! I, the Kaguya clan, absolutely support this policy!"

"What about the reforms to the Ninja School?"

"Lord Mizukage, actually I don't quite understand the reforms to the ninja school..." Kaguya Ling looked at Dihuangwan's expression and didn't say the rest.

"Ling, you can speak freely. I want to hear your true thoughts!"

"Mitakage-sama, six years is too long. The replenishment rate of our Kirigakure ninjas will be very slow! Will this be detrimental to our recovery?"

"Ling, how do you think Kirigakure's background compares to Konoha?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, Konoha does have a much deeper foundation!"

"So where do you think we are lacking?"

“Resources, fertile soil!”

"These two are hardware issues. Wuyin is isolated overseas and can only do its best to improve them. However, we also need to change the software issues!"

"Is there a software problem?"

"Yes, the so-called software problem is the policy aspect. The reason why Konoha is so powerful is because Konoha's ninja school provides them with a large number of excellent graduates!"

"But the quality of our Kirigakure ninja school is no worse than Konoha's!"

"That's right. The biggest difference between our Kirigakure and Konoha in ninja school is that Kirigakure implements an elite policy and does not focus on the training of ordinary ninjas! Konoha is the opposite. They have a large number of ordinary ninjas graduating every year. Among this huge base, some are elites right after graduation, while others become elites after their subsequent growth!"

"Over time, Konoha's ninja training method has become their deepest foundation! It makes them capable of fighting against the other four major ninja villages at the same time!"

In fact, Konoha has another huge advantage, which is the medical ninja system, which is far ahead of other ninja villages!

"So, Lord Mizukage, do you want to emulate the system of the Konoha Ninja School to train the Ninjas of Kirigakure?"

"Yes, the six-year system is enough for people with ninja talent to pass the graduation examination! Moreover, I will not interfere with the ninja clans training their own juniors and learning their own secret techniques. Six years is enough for them to learn and grow in the safe environment of the school. I think you can understand my painstaking efforts after saying this, Ling!"

Of course, Dihuangwan did not say that the ultimate goal of the six-year system is to allow students to break out of the ideological constraints of the ninja clan at an immature age and truly brainwash students with the village as the center!

Just like Konoha’s so-called Will of Fire, Kirigakure has a Will of Water, isn’t that normal!

"Lord Mizukage, I understand. This is the true recuperation. In the long run, the foundation of our Kirigakure will gradually become deeper, and all the tribes will regain their vitality!"

"Well, it seems that you have understood Ling!"

"Yes, Mizukage-sama, my Kaguya clan will fully cooperate with these two reforms!"

The atmosphere at the subsequent banquet was much more harmonious and all the guests had a great time!

The next day, Dihuang Wan did the same thing and went to visit the Guidance Clan!

The Gui Deng clan was once plotted against by Di Huang Wan while they were undercover in Di Huang Wan's company. The loss was not great, but they lost all their face!

There are currently no quasi-kage-level strongmen in the clan, but the advantage is that there are a large number of ordinary ninjas. It can be said that it is the ninja clan with the largest number of ninjas except for the Terumi clan!

Dihuangwan took action and, like the Kaguya clan, successfully gained the understanding and support of the Kizuna clan!

Late at night, in the study of the Terumi clan leader, Terumi Feng, Terumi Qiong, and Terumi Hong were having a meeting.

"Clan leader, the Third Mizukage visited the Kaguya clan and the Kizuna clan successively. It is estimated that tomorrow it will be the turn of our Terumi clan! How should we respond?" said the great elder Terumi Kyon.

"After I sent people to secretly inquire, I found out that the Third Mizukage did not take any excessive actions against the two clans. He just asked the two clans for their opinions on the two reform policies!" said clan leader Terumimine.

"It's strange to say, but since the Third Mizukage came to power, he has never looked at the opinions of those below him and has always pushed through policies. Why is it so abnormal this time? He even asked for the views and opinions of various tribes. He also held a representative conference to vote by raising hands. What is he doing?" said the Second Elder Terumi Hong.

"Is he secretly investigating the situation of each tribe under the guise of a visit?" the great elder Terumi Qiong also asked.

Obviously, the abnormal behavior of the Third Mizukage made several people in the Terumi clan very uneasy!

Because the Terumi clan has always pursued a policy of keeping a low profile internally, but showing weakness externally, and not trying to stand out!

Therefore, they were extremely worried that the real purpose of the Third Mizukage was to investigate the details of each clan!

You know, the Terumi clan is currently the typical example of those who pretend to obey the Third Mizukage but actually disobey him!

"Our clan suffered very little loss in World War II, and after the development in the past few years since the war, we are now stronger than before the war. Unfortunately, no one among us has ever broken through to the Kage level!" said Terumimine.

"The power under the Third Mizukage cannot be underestimated. Now they have the support of the Mizunotsuki clan, and they have appeased the Kaguya clan and the Hozuki clan. If they really come against our Terumi clan, we will still be powerless to resist!" Terumi Kyou said.

To put it bluntly, the Terumi clan is still feeling guilty and is worrying too much!

"In any case, let's be prepared! The Third Mizukage will come tomorrow, and we must respond respectfully. Don't forget that we still have the support of Master Yuanshi. There is no way the Third Mizukage will turn against us on the spot!" said Terumimine.

"Yes, we still have Master Yuanshi!"

In the end, the three members of Terumi's family spent the night in sleeplessness!

To their surprise, the Third Mizukage came the next day, but he was alone!
