I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"Next, you only need to put on my eyes, and you will be able to escape from the endless darkness and never face the risk of losing your sight again."

It was only later that Shisui heard about the secret of the Eternal Eye, and he still felt a little bit of joy knowing that he could help Ye Lan.

Ye Lan was not overwhelmed by this sudden joy, and his eyes gradually regained calm.

"It's too early to say anything. Although this operation is not very dangerous, we only have one chance. We don't have anyone we can trust."

After carefully sealing Shisui's eyes close to his body, he still needed to find a suitable person to perform the surgery.

Seeing this, Shisui hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that maybe Sasuke was a good choice, but he couldn't imagine Sasuke standing in front of the operating table and performing surgery on someone, so he gave up the idea.

"You've collected Itachi's eyes as well, right?"

Itachi and Sasuke, a pair of brothers with a tragic fate, were the opposite of Shisui and Ye Lan. Even death could not convince the other side.

But it is undeniable that with Itachi's Mangekyō, Sasuke also has the opportunity to evolve into the Eternal Eye.

"Yeah, but the child is somewhat resistant to Itachi's eyes..."

Shisui's words revealed some worry. Itachi's behavior had already made Sasuke disheartened. He even gave up the last chance to kill him, so how could he accept Itachi's eyes?

"Take your time. His Mangekyo has only been awakened for a short time anyway."

Ye Lan could imagine Sasuke's feelings. Sasuke's pride and self-esteem did not allow him to easily accept charity from others, let alone the eyes of his brother who had once disappointed him so much.

"Well, I have buried Itachi's body after his death. You won't blame me for doing this."

Even though Itachi did such a thing, Shisui still always treated him as his younger brother, which made it impossible for him to ignore Itachi's body. After his death, he still buried his body, hoping that he could get some peace.

Ye Lan looked at Shishui with calm eyes. He was not at all surprised by Shishui's behavior. It could be said that the person who knew Shishui best in this world was his younger brother.

"I have something else to write, so I won't talk about these things anymore."

After hearing this, Shisui touched his head awkwardly. He also understood the implication of Ye Lan's words, which was that he didn't want to ask more about Itachi.

The power system of the Hidden Rain Village seemed extremely fragile in the incessant drizzle. The lights on the ceiling flickered like ghost lights, adding a bit of depression to this already dull space.

Writing in such an environment is indeed a challenging task.

Seeing that Ye Lan didn't seem to be interested, Shishui couldn't help but ask.

"Unifying the ninja world, Ye Lan, can your idea really achieve peace?"

This was the first time he asked Ye Lan this question. Even though he had decided to believe and support Ye Lan, he was still surprised by Ye Lan's idea.

People who have such thoughts always look like villains in novels.

"I thought you wouldn't ask."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan stopped writing, turned around, and looked slightly deep.

"Let's change the topic. What do you think of the system of the ninja village?"

"I feel it's pretty good. Since the first Hokage founded Konoha, this system has been imitated by other villages, eliminating the gaps between the tribes, giving children room to grow, and there are more peaceful times than during the Warring States Period..."

Shisui still approves of Konoha's system. He believes that the existence of Konoha has indeed eliminated some of the wars.

But Ye Lan just raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Is this really the case? It's ridiculous. Over the past sixty years, the casualties in the three Ninja World Wars far exceeded the number in the hundreds of years of the Warring States Period. You see, when the strength of some villages expands, this fragile balance will be broken again."

"As for the children, don't you know how old Kakashi and his classmates were when they went to the battlefield?"

"As for how to do it, now we can only plant a seed, and when it will sprout depends on those who come after us."

Ye Lan had no desire to concentrate all power in one person; doing so was too strenuous.

He just wants to spread this idea and put this twisted world back on track.

...

Tiandao held the report written by Ye Lan in his hand and tapped his fingers from time to time.

Then he handed it to Xiaonan who was beside him. After all, these matters still had to be handled by Xiaonan.

"I understand the establishment of ninja schools, hospitals, and the Ministry of Public Security, but what about this military department? And what about the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce?"

For the first time, Tiandao felt that his brain was not enough, and the military’s philosophy was a little unacceptable to him.

There are not only departments similar to the secret departments of other villages, but also various miscellaneous departments that he has never heard of, such as ordnance, research and development, transportation, etc.

"Isn't this department too bloated? And with so many controls, it has too much power."

You can’t see other things about the way of heaven, but you can see this.

"Chief, what is our purpose?"

Ye Lan did not explain directly, but asked Payne instead.

"Unite."

Tiandao answered without hesitation.

"Then unification will inevitably lead to war, and the role of the military will be crucial."

"But we have the Outer Golem..."

"No." Ye Lan interrupted Payne for the first time, "The Outer Path Golem may have secrets that we don't know about. We must not use it until the last minute. The most important thing is to be strong yourself."

The "self" here does not refer to one's own strength, but to the entire Yuyin.

"And the head of the military must be concurrently the chief, who can ensure the control of the military."

In fact, Ye Lan originally planned to abolish the ninja system directly, but he thought that this was not only too advanced, but also might arouse the resentment of other countries and the attention of the daimyos.

In the end, I gave up the idea.

Tiandao thought about it for a while and felt that what Ye Lan said was quite good. The ninja village had never reformed the ninja system in this way. This was the first time Ye Lan’s idea was proposed, but problems arose again.

"But if you do this, the money you need will be an astronomical figure. You have to know that the daimyo of the Rain Country itself can't provide much money."

The military expenditure provided by the Daimyo of the Land of Rain was only a little bit and was not enough, and most of the imported food still relied on the Akatsuki organization.

"The establishment of the military can be delayed, and members can collect less money. Let the members of Akatsuki collect a large amount of money in a short period of time. The most important thing is that Yuyin can make a profit."

Ye Lan is well aware of this. War relies most on money. The Rain Country cannot grow food due to climate reasons, so it can only develop another path.

"We need to build a factory. From what I know, the steel industry in the Rain Country is pretty good, but it's just abandoned. It has a certain foundation. Whether it's making war weapons or making some practical products, we can make money."

Ye Lan was not bragging. He had indeed conducted on-site inspections and found that the unique architecture of the Rain Country had consumed the hard work of many craftsmen.

However, no leader paid attention to this aspect. Instead, they thought they were wasting food, and many factories closed down due to lack of funding.

"Is this really possible?"

Xiaonan has no idea about this, she only knows how to spend money.

"Try it, but I'm pretty sure."

Ye Lan complained about the technology tree and system of this era more than once. He had no chance to display them before, but now he has room to display them.
