Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: Kushina's Pitiful State

The next day!

The empire was newly established, and the entire nation was mobilized, all working hard to build their homeland and contribute to the rise of the empire.

Everyone was extremely busy.

Orochimaru had even forgotten what his laboratory looked like.

The empire was in urgent need of talents in all fields. Don't have any? Then go and recruit them.

Can't recruit them? Then go... and snatch them!

Compared to destruction, Lucian preferred construction.

Watching the country grow stronger and stronger, watching the citizens smile happily, that sense of accomplishment was satisfying.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Lucian's few capable subordinates finally took a short break.

Everyone gathered in the great hall, waiting for Lucian's next instructions.

"Huh?"

Seeing Kushina's miserable expression, Mikoto asked with gentle concern:

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"I didn't sleep at all last night..."

Kushina said melancholically, "Didn't I just unlock the Vollständig? I was so excited I couldn't sleep. But there was something I didn't understand, so I was thinking of going to ask His Majesty."

"Going to see His Majesty in the middle of the night?"

Mikoto was amazed at Kushina's thick skin.

The empire was just getting on the right track. As the supreme leader, His Majesty could not be easily disturbed.

Kushina was puzzled, "Is there something wrong with that? Konan went too..."

Hearing Konan's name, Tsunade was also very curious:

"That's right, where's Konan? I haven't seen her all day. Is she handling other work?"

Everyone shook their heads. They were all busy with their own things. Who had time to care about others?

Kushina continued to complain, "When I went to see His Majesty, I saw that Konan had gone in first. She probably had questions too."

"I was thinking of waiting for Konan to finish asking before I went in..."

Everyone was stunned. Kushina said with a miserable expression:

"But I waited and waited, and Konan never came out."

"One hour, two hours."

"It wasn't until the sky was bright that I realized I had waited all night."

At this, Kushina squatted on the ground in grievance.

"Were Konan's questions that difficult? Boo hoo, I'm so pitiful."

Everyone: "..."

This child has strong perseverance!

But it seems... something isn't right?

The few brats were bewildered. Jiraiya revealed an old driver's smile:

"This involves a distant era. It is said that in ancient times, the population was sparse, and people did not know how to increase the population."

"It was not until someone took the first step in the continuation of the bloodline that we have the splendid ninja world of today."

Listen, listen, an old driver's words are not simple.

Orochimaru was not interested at all. Tsunade was speechless.

Especially seeing the inquiring gazes of the few brats, she was suddenly speechless.

"Jiraiya, will you die if you don't talk!"

"Hey, I was just telling a story..."

"Shut up, you idiot!"

Tsunade cursed, and then her expression was full of suspicion.

"That Konan... no, she seems to be taller than all of us."

Now that Konan, Kushina, and Mikoto were all nearly 1.7 meters tall, Tsunade felt a great deal of pressure.

His Majesty had made them so tall.

No, I have my advantages.

A few goddess-like girls want to catch up to my advantages? They're a bit too young. Mhm!

Kushina leaned close to Mikoto and whispered:

"Something's not right. Konan stayed with His Majesty for a whole night and a whole morning. I feel like there's something fishy going on."

Mikoto couldn't help but facepalm. How could you not understand?

Although children in the ninja world matured early, it was only a psychological maturity.

Who knew what adults liked to do?

At that moment, Lucian's figure suddenly appeared on the throne.

"Greetings, Your Majesty..."

Seeing Lucian, everyone immediately tidied up their appearance and paid their respects.

Lucian raised his hand slightly and got straight to the point:

"The development of the empire takes time. There is no hurry to invade."

"Orochimaru and Jiraiya will stay. The rest of you will go out on missions."

Hearing the word 'mission', everyone became even more solemn and waited.

"A group of two. Tsunade and Konan, Kushina and Mikoto, Yahiko and Nagato."

"Go to the Village Hidden in the Sand to get the One-Tail, the Village Hidden in the Mist to get the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, and the Village Hidden by a Waterfall to get the Seven-Tails."

"As for the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails, I have other arrangements!"

The Nine-Tails, Four-Tails, and Five-Tails had been absorbed by Lucian. The remaining six Tailed Beasts could not be let go.

As for whether it would cause turmoil or public anger in the process, Lucian didn't care at all.

Come on,

I am sitting on the throne at the peak. I am waiting for you!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

No one asked why.

His Majesty's decision was the direction of their advance.

But Tsunade looked back and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, my teammate, Konan..."

"Konan is resting today. You can set off tomorrow or the day after."

Lucian's expression was quite calm and natural.

Tsunade didn't say anything more, but her eyes were slightly complicated.

She subconsciously wondered how Konan and His Majesty had spent the night.

"You are all dismissed. Orochimaru, stay."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Only Lucian and Orochimaru were left in the empty great hall.

As Orochimaru was recalling whether he had made a mistake, Lucian's voice sounded.

"Are you interested in the Rinnegan?"

"Your Majesty, perhaps I was interested in the past. But now that I am a Quincy, it is difficult for me to be interested in a power that does not belong to me."

Orochimaru was calm, and he was telling the truth.

He who had eternal life had greatly reduced his interest in those external powers.

It was better to study how to develop his Schrift and develop more soul power.

Lucian nodded slightly and said softly, "In another world, the research on the soul is profound."

"Based on soul energy, many different races have been developed, and many different power systems have been derived, which are not much worse than the Quincy."

Orochimaru's eyes lit up. A new truth?

The more he came into contact with the soul, the more he could feel the mystery and vastness of the soul.

Orochimaru was deeply fascinated by it.

But he knew too little about it. Even if he wanted to experiment, he didn't know where to start.
