Naruto's Journey to Training

After returning to Konoha, Yu immediately notified the heads of all departments and asked them to raise supplies immediately and support the reconstruction of the Hidden Rain Village at all costs.

When they heard that Yu had defeated the Hidden Rain Village on his own and was preparing to completely conquer the Rain Kingdom, all the directors of the family departments were deeply shocked.

Less than half a day after their Hokage left the house, Konoha gained the Rain Country for free. Such power and authority made them work very diligently and not dare to make any mistakes.

Soon the collapse of the Rain Country caused turbulence again in the ninja world which had already calmed down.

Earth, Thunder, and Wind all sent a large number of secret agents to the Rain Kingdom.

When many people sighed inwardly and looked at the ruins of the Hidden Rain Village, their hearts couldn't help but skip a beat, especially when they heard from the civilians of the Hidden Rain Village that it was the work of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

The spy from the Hidden Cloud Village was the first to withdraw from the Rain Country, and he left in a hurry.

The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki looked at the information in his hand and hesitated for a long time, reluctant to make a decision. He really didn't know whether the Land of Earth should intervene in this matter.

Because of its proximity to the Land of Lightning and its long-standing feud with the Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth was the first ninja village to receive specific information about what happened in the Hidden Cloud Village.

Both of these things are related to the newly appointed Fifth Hokage. Once the Land of Earth intervenes, will it suffer the same retaliation as the Hidden Cloud Village?

After thinking for a long time, Oonoki decided to wait and see.

He believed that if the Land of Earth did not intervene, someone would test Konoha on their behalf, and he could just see if Konoha had another ninja like the Twin Gods of the Ninja World who could overwhelm the entire Ninja World.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the Fourth Kazekage Rasa began to make moves after learning that the Rain Country was now empty.

There is no way that the Wind Kingdom is too poor. If we can take the opportunity to occupy the Rain Kingdom, then the economy of the Wind Kingdom will undoubtedly be improved a lot.

Soon a large group of Sand Ninjas began to head towards the border of the Rain Country. Although Rasa knew that Konoha would not just sit there and do nothing, he decided to strike first.

In the defenseless Rain Country, the Sand Ninjas advanced rapidly and soon reached the daimyo's mansion in the Rain Country.

However, Konoha's supply team also arrived in the Rain Country at the same time. The two sides met in the ruins of the Hidden Rain Village, and a melee soon broke out between them.

In order to ensure the smooth incorporation of the Rain Country, Yu directly dispatched two squads to escort the supplies, and asked the newly formed Southern Legion to select an elite brigade of 2,000 people to follow.

With the departure of the captain of the Uchiha 12th Division, the Sand Ninja suffered heavy losses for a while, and Rasa had to take the field himself.

However, in front of the two kaleidoscopes, Luo Sha's strength was simply not enough, and he had to flee in defeat.

If it weren't for the countless Sand Ninja lives that delayed the progress of the two captains, it would be unclear whether he could return to the Sand Ninja Village.

After returning to the village, Luo Sha was depressed for a while. He looked at the young Gaara with complicated eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Maybe he's regretting that the village's jinchūriki is too young to be sent to the battlefield!

Soon, the Sand Village submitted a letter of surrender to Konoha, and this sudden war between the two ninja villages ended so abruptly.

Let all the ninja villages in the ninja world see the power of Konoha again.

At this point, Konoha began to swallow up the Rain Country unscrupulously. The daimyo of the Rain Country soon submitted a letter of surrender to the Fire Country, willing to give up his status as daimyo, only asking that the Fire Country would guarantee him wealth and honor for the rest of his life.

When the two countries took over, the Rain Country inevitably fell into chaos, and many of the Rain Ninjas who survived at the time launched a rebellion.

Some of them began to attack the construction troops coming from Konoha from time to time. Yu did not show any mercy to this. The entire Southern Army marched towards the Rain Country.

The entire Southern Legion has nearly 6,000 ninjas, almost several times the current number of Rain Country ninjas. As soon as they entered the Rain Country, the Southern Legion began to implement comprehensive military management of the Rain Country under the command of Yamanaka Shikaichi. Rain ninjas who were willing to surrender had the possibility of restoring their normal status after the military management.

As for those who retaliate wantonly and do not care about the deaths of civilians, once they are caught, they will be executed in public to deter villains.

With the two major divisions of the 12th Division directly under the Hokage in charge, things that were unimaginable in the Sarutobi era can be implemented without any external pressure.

The three kingdoms of Earth, Thunder and Wind dared not move at all.

As for the unrest within the Rain Country, it quickly died down.

It is naturally difficult to assimilate a country, but under Konoha's strong suppression, the Rain Country quickly returned to peace.

The series of conciliatory policies implemented by Yuxia soon covered up the hatred of the Rain Kingdom, although it was not yet possible to make everyone grateful.

But he wouldn't harbor any ill will when he saw the ninjas from Konoha.

First, Yu fulfilled his promise and treated the civilians of the Rain Kingdom equally. Then he cleared out a large number of nobles in the Rain Kingdom and used their assets to redistribute resources. Although he didn't distribute the land equally, he ensured that everyone had land.

The last thing is the brainwashing of education. As for how to assimilate a country, Yu must have learned something from it. He directly borrowed the methods from ancient times to the present in his previous life. The first one was to standardize the writing system and the wheel gauge.

All historical records related to the Rain Country were destroyed. Anything that was inconsistent with Konoha was required by Yu to be rectified by the Ministry of Education in a step-up effort to ensure that the Rain Country must be the same as the Fire Country.

Finally, a set of ideas of loyalty to the emperor was continuously instilled into the young men of the Rain Country, and this emperor was naturally Yu.

Although the Rain Country nominally surrendered to the Daimyo Prefecture, the Daimyo is now under Yu's control. In reality, the control of the Rain Country is firmly in Yu's hands.

Yu's will finally spread from Konoha to the Rain Country. I believe that in just three to five years, the Rain Country will definitely be more loyal to him than the Fire Country.

Konoha Hokage's Office.

Yu looked at the information sent back from the Rain Country and nodded with satisfaction.

Not far away was Xiaonan, who was writing furiously. Now that he was captured by Yu, Yu naturally would not keep an idle person.

Not to mention that Xiaonan himself has a lot of wealth and is a rare money printing machine.

Although the Uchiha family has become extremely wealthy due to the continuous expansion of the output of elixirs, who cares more about wealth?

After putting the soul mark on Xiaonan, Xiaonan completely became Yu's employee.

Xiaonan picked up a report on the Ministry of Education's response from the Rain Country and looked up at Yu with an expressionless face.

"Is this how you control the Rain Country? You actually want to control everyone's minds."

Yu looked at her with amusement, "Is there anything wrong with what is said here? Man is born good. If everyone can always believe that people are born good, do you think the world will become a better place?"

"This Three Character Classic tells ignorant children the most correct way to understand the world, and shapes a beautiful worldview for them from an early age. Do you think that young people who grow up like this will still like war? If more people hate war, do you think the world will become more peaceful and beautiful?"

Yu's words left Xiaonan speechless for a moment. When she read the content of the Three Character Classic, she felt deeply shocked in her heart.

Ignoring Konan's silence, Yu continued.

"The reason why this world is constantly in war is that the world's thoughts are extremely barren. People have not received a good education except about war since childhood."

"As a result, the hearts of people in this world are always filled with hatred, and they are unable to empathize with others. This is the fundamental reason for the chaos in this world. Even those who want peace cannot find a way to achieve peace."

"However, the solution to all this is both simple and difficult. The most important thing is that our generation should stop spreading the seeds of hatred and start educating children about peace from an early age."

“Power is the tool to end war, but education is the root cause of war.”
