If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

Rosa looked at the desolate Sand Village with cold eyes, and his heart was filled with grief.

During this period of time, he investigated the Land of Wind. He had to admit that even the most prosperous Sand Village looked like this, so one could imagine what the rest of the places looked like!

Daito and Setsuna had already captured a group of water-style ninjas and brought them back. He was not idle and immediately arranged for the ninjas of the Sand Village to control them to irrigate the ground day and night.

In any case, it would be a good idea to make the area moist first, then sow some seeds and grow some grass to prevent soil erosion.

Xiandai also wandered around the village aimlessly all day with a dazed look on his face.

She finally arrived at the ninja village era she had been longing for.

Can...

But why is the Ninja Village era like this?

The daimyo and the ninja village govern together, and the resources in one region are supplied. There is no need to send all the minerals from the Wind Country to other provinces like the Empire does. Why is it worse?

She recalled her days in prison, where prisoners had white rice, lean meat and vegetables for every meal.

Can...

People here find it hard to eat even pasta, let alone vegetables!

What the hell is going on in this world?

She had inquired around and found out that she was not a loser and that successive Kazekages had also been making contributions to the village.

But what are the results? What are the achievements?

Although she had never been released from the prison in the empire, her grandson and son would often visit her with newspapers and periodicals. In her heart, she had already conceded that the Kingdom of Wind was thriving, and all things were free under the frosty sky!

Only today did she realize how wrong she was!

This is man-made! It's not that the environment of the Wind Country has changed!

Those things are changes that happened after the Empire took office!

No wonder! No wonder everyone says that I am an old antique, a stubborn person who sticks to the tragic and pitiful times!

Xiandai thought about how proudly he had told them that the Kingdom of Wind would only be better if it were a ninja village system.

But now those words hit her hard in the face like a slap in the face.

She thought again of what her children had said.

"Abundant and wealthy? Is that possible? Will those daimyo invest countless funds in environmental change regardless of the cost, just like the emperor?"

At that time, Xiandai refuted with disdain.

The Emperor is from the Fire Nation. How could he possibly invest huge sums of money to change the environment of the Wind Nation?

Moreover, the environment is changed by nature and cannot be changed by humans.

Now she just felt the pain on her old face.

"I am judging others by my own standards!"

Xiandai felt ashamed. She looked in the direction of the teleportation array and silently prayed for the emperor in her heart.

"Your Majesty...I'm sorry...I was blind...I wrongly blamed you..."

She often saw prisoners in prison who were dissatisfied with their lives, and she often chatted with them.

I'm too busy at work and I can't support my family if I don't work, so I have no choice but to steal.

Others said that they did not have enough freedom, could not stand the pressure from their leaders, and beat people up, etc.

She only listened to their one-sided story and started to think the empire was even darker.

When she was arranged to be a cross-border experimental subject, Scorpion took her on a tour of the former Sand Village.

With a critical eye, she found no less than a hundred situations that were worse than the ninja village system.

Now that she has come to the real ninja village, she has become obedient, completely obedient.

Xiandai thought of the young man who said he wouldn't have enough to eat if he didn't work.

She recalled the scene when she wandered around the Sand Village last night, a family of four, all hungry, a woman and three children.

The children wanted to eat, but were stopped by their mother.

"Father hasn't come back yet. Without him working hard outside, how would we get food? Forget about eating at night. We only need to eat once a day at noon! Be good! Leave it to dad! Otherwise, he won't have enough to eat tomorrow and won't be able to work, and we won't have anything to eat at noon!"

The children suppressed their inner desire for food, nodded obediently, and lay down on the bed with empty stomachs.

What about within the empire?

She only remembered that in prison, many prisoners thought the food was unpalatable and threw it away after taking a few bites.

In contrast, she was somewhat broken.

The Empire did not discriminate, nor did it let the civilians starve. It even established complete laws, and there were no wandering ninjas. But I was still fantasizing about how bad the Empire was?

Well, because the empire is still developing, there are indeed many things that are not satisfactory, but compared to the current ninja villages.

She felt ashamed.

If you can find a hundred shortcomings of the empire in the ninja villages, then you can find ten thousand shortcomings of the ninja villages in the empire!

No exaggeration!

The emperor of the empire is a person from the Land of Fire. Everyone will contribute to Sand Village and the civilians of the Land of Wind, and he cares about the environment here.

And what about the daimyos of the Kingdom of Wind?

What are they doing? Apart from giving the village a sum of money to train ninjas every year, they seem to have never taken care of the civilians, right?

Walking down the familiar streets and alleys of Sand Village again, she found that everyone was basically pale and thin, which made her feel a little heartbroken.

When she returned to her residence, she felt sweaty and itchy all over. She searched for a long time but couldn't find the faucet. She only found a few water tanks with some water in them.

Xiandai was silent for a long time, and finally, she made up her mind.

"The light of the empire should shine into such dark places!"

Xian Dai said.

......

In the Empire, in the Province of Fire, in Sand Village.

Chiyo soaked in the bathtub, enjoying the cleansing of the source of life.

She looked through the glass of the 88-story Chisha Building, overlooking this metropolis filled with modern technology, and then looked at the green desert dotted in the distance. No...it was no longer a desert.

After all this time, Chiyo has figured out this kind of life, this kind of days.

If compared, they in Sunagakure are just the poor in the slums!

What's wrong with letting them accept such an empire?

The so-called sand consciousness? Can it be eaten?

And those daimyo, it seems like they have never done anything for the common people?

Why should I work hard for them and devote everything I have to them?

When Chiyo thought of this, she felt that she was too stupid. At such an old age, she still couldn't understand many simple and easy-to-understand principles.

If you are afraid of change, then does that mean the current situation is good enough?

At that time, she felt that the ninja village was already pretty good, at least there was peace.

But after seeing the glory of the empire, she realized that peace is only the most basic!

What really matters is people's livelihood and environment!

The ninja village system that I uphold can hardly even maintain peace, and I don't even have the courage to change!

I thought I had given everything for the village! It turns out I was just a burden to the village!

Chiyo stood up from the water, the water stains slid across her body, and the empire's sunlight shone warmly on her through the glass. She felt that her soul was cleansed and refreshed at this moment.

She found the scorpion.

"I've figured it out. I want to contribute to the Empire! I want to apply to become a member of the Empire's vanguard! I want to go to Sunagakure, and I'm willing to sacrifice everything I have...including my life! I want to personally convince them to join the Empire!"
