"The empire is in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt. Everything needs to be perfected."
What Lucian wanted to build was a true empire, not a so-called city, nor a small force piled up by a few powerhouses.
Then the laws, economy, people's livelihood, military, and so on all needed to be perfected.
"Recruit talents in all fields from the empire and even the entire ninja world. The treatment will be generous."
"Arrange residences for the empire's ninja and civilians, and restore the economy and people's livelihood as soon as possible."
"Other laws can be gradually perfected, but there are three points that anyone who touches them will die."
Everyone's expression was serious as they listened attentively.
Lucian's tone carried a hint of killing intent.
"Those who harm the citizens of the empire without reason shall die!"
"Those who wantonly invade the territory of the empire shall die!"
"Those who speak disrespectfully of the master of the empire shall die!"
To unite the ninja world, one cannot be soft-hearted.
In Lucian's view, the death of those ten thousand or so Iwagakure ninja was nothing.
At most, it would shake the ninja world for a few days, and would soon become a topic of conversation and be forgotten.
"Announce to the entire ninja world, our Wandenreich will not be invaded!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
...
The ninja world was in an uproar!
The great war that the entire ninja world had been watching ended in an incredible way.
Onoki was killed in battle!
The Five-Tails Jinchuriki was killed in battle!
More than ten thousand Iwagakure ninja were all killed in battle!
The Silbern appeared in the world with a shock!
Everyone who heard the news suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
After confirming it again and again, they fell into a silent silence, and then shouted in disbelief!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The first to receive the news was the Village Hidden in the Stone.
Onoki's son, Kitsuchi, was a young elite Jonin with a high sense of responsibility and team spirit.
He had been acting as the agent after Onoki left.
Just as Kitsuchi was happily sitting in his office, expecting to receive news like this:
Iwagakure has crossed the Land of Rain, ambushed the Land of Fire, and caught Konoha off guard. This battle is a great victory! Long live the Tsuchikage!
But the subsequent bad news made Kitsuchi feel as if the sky had fallen!
"It's fake. You're lying to me, right?"
Kitsuchi's eyes were red, and he waited expectantly for the few Iwagakure ninja who had fled the battlefield early to speak.
But what he got was a sad silence.
"Impossible. My father is dead. Why didn't you die..."
As Kitsuchi spoke, he raised his fist and slammed it down!
"Fleeing in the face of the enemy! Die! Die!"
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
The Iwagakure elders watched the crazed Kitsuchi slaughtering the deserters, but they didn't say anything.
Even now, they couldn't believe it was true.
Quickly, when Kitsuchi was brought to the battlefield, the corpses all over the ground made everyone despair.
From this moment on, the Village Hidden in the Stone, which could have been ranked among the top, had directly become a straggler.
It was even worse than the Village Hidden in the Sand.
After all, the Village Hidden in the Sand had the Third Kazekage, the Chiyo siblings, and the One-Tail Jinchuriki!
The three strongest people in the Village Hidden in the Stone, the Tsuchikage and the two Jinchuriki, were dead.
For the Village Hidden in the Stone, it was no different from the sky falling.
Hope was cut off!
"Kitsuchi..."
The elders looked at Kitsuchi with great worry.
They were afraid that his mentality would collapse, or that he would go crazy and seek revenge on Lucian.
That would be the real end.
But to the elders' relief and pain, Kitsuchi was not impulsive, but his voice was so cold:
"Collect the body of our great Lord Tsuchikage, collect the body of Lord Han, and collect the bodies of the heroes of our Village Hidden in the Stone!"
"From now on, I will inherit the position of the Fourth Tsuchikage."
"Who agrees, and who opposes?"
"..."
He has really grown up.
The elders took a deep breath and took the lead, all kneeling on the ground!
"We greet you, Lord Fourth Tsuchikage!"
Father, I will avenge you!
The expressionless Kitsuchi's eyes were filled with hatred!
...
"Men, prepare a gift for the Wandenreich!"
The Third Mizukage was really scared, and even a little terrified.
Only eight people had acted.
He wouldn't dare to dream of such a thing!
Regardless of the process, the bloody result was right in front of him. The Third Mizukage was having trouble sleeping, afraid that Lucian would send people to attack the Village Hidden in the Mist.
Who knew how many people Lucian had under him, let alone how strong he was.
Back when Konoha was first established, although other ninja villages had also begun to be established, at that time there were only two villages in the entire ninja world:
Konoha, and the other villages!
All the first-generation Kage had been intimidated by the existence of Hashirama and Madara.
He didn't feel ashamed at all for admitting defeat to Lucian.
"What should I send? Ninjutsu? It seems they don't have a chakra system..."
"Money? Treasures? Beautiful women? Local specialties?"
One by one, they flashed through the Third Mizukage's mind, but he was not satisfied.
But the Wandenreich had just been established, so they must be in need of everything.
The Third Mizukage decided to send a little of everything.
Who knew which thing would hit Lucian's sweet spot.
In a word!
The gift is light, but the sentiment is heavy. Please let us go!
But if Lucian was really ruthless and wanted to attack the Village Hidden in the Mist, then the Third Mizukage would definitely fight to the death.
But it was definitely not wrong to be on good terms first.
...
For some reason, the Village Hidden in the Sand suddenly withdrew its troops and no longer fought with Konoha.
The original situation was that the Land of Rain had made a move, the Village Hidden in the Sand had made a move, and the Iwagakure ninja had made a move.
The Village Hidden in the Cloud and the Village Hidden in the Mist were ready to make a move at any time.
But the sudden death of Onoki had made everything quiet.
The war had originally been started because of the imbalance in the development of resources among the various countries. But suddenly, another powerful country that was qualified to compete for resources had appeared.
This completely broke the balance.
If they didn't first stop the war and observe the new situation, then it would completely spiral out of control.
"Why is it like this? Is Onoki that weak!"
The Third Kazekage was furious.
The Iwagakure ninja who should have shared the pressure had directly knelt. Then what was the point of fighting with Konoha?
To let the Village Hidden in the Cloud pick up the spoils?
He could only choose to stop the war
