"Rukia."
As soon as Chihiro's voice came out, Rukia, who had been guarding outside the door, responded, "Lord Soul King, do you have any orders?"
Chihiro said, "Send the Eighth Division to various places in the Ninja World to search for the former citizens of the Uzushigakure, that is, the Uzumaki Clan who have red hair like me."
Although Chihiro could find out the specific locations of several Uzumaki Clan members based on the original work,
apart from knowing that Uzumaki Kushina was in Konoha, others might not have already gone to the locations he remembered at this time.
To be safe, it was better to let the Eighth Division investigate first.
Rukia said with a serious expression, "The Lord Soul King's clan members? I understand!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Rukia was about to head to the Eighth Division to convey Chihiro's orders.
"Oh, and once you find their locations, don't act rashly. Just ensure their safety."
Chihiro couldn't guarantee that everyone would be willing to return to the Uzushigakure; it still depended on their individual wishes, but he wouldn't force them.
However, Uzumaki Kushina absolutely had to come back.
The little one who had always followed him around since childhood, he missed her quite a bit after not seeing her for so long.
It's just that Konoha probably wouldn't let her go.
After all, Kushina was being groomed to be the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
But there's no need to rush.
The Uzushigakure is still not strong enough right now!
First, we'll develop; when the time comes, if Konoha isn't sensible enough, then don't blame him for being impolite.
Of course, Chihiro isn't some war-crazed demon.
His personal principle has always been 'I won't offend if not offended,' and his style of doing things is 'courtesy before force.'
What's more, prestige value still needs the contributions of these people.
"Yes!"
Rukia responded.
Chihiro watched her leave.
"Rukia is too useful..."
Logically speaking, Rukia is the Lieutenant of the Thirteenth Division and has her own work responsibilities.
But Rukia is really too useful, so he has always kept her as his secretary and guard.
Anyway, there are no Hollows in the Ninja World that need to be purified by the Thirteenth Division right now, so he'll just keep using her for now.
Receiving Chihiro's instructions, the Eighth Division quickly mobilized, heading to various corners of the Ninja World to search for Uzumaki Clan Bloodline members.
Of course, Chihiro didn't send them to Uzumaki Kushina's location.
Since it was already clear information, there was no need for them to make another trip.
Moreover, the workload for searching for people is enormous; although they can use senkaimon to go anywhere,
searching every single location thoroughly would also be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Plus, the Uzushigakure doesn't have many personnel right now.
Including the Sekikan, the Eighth Division only has less than two hundred members.
If they were to search the entire Ninja World, it would probably take a lot of time.
Three months later.
The situation in the Ninja World changed dramatically.
First, the Uzushigakure replaced the Land of Water, ascending to become one of the Five Great Nations.
Of course, in people's minds, even if the Uzushigakure defeated the Land of Water and demonstrated its strength, it could never surpass the power of the Land of Fire, Land of Lightning, and Land of Earth.
After all, they only defeated the Land of Water, which was at the bottom of the Five Great Nations.
Moreover, its land area was only that of an island nation, and even the predecessor of the Uzushigakure was just a country founded by a Family, with very little population.
Population, land, resources, military, economy.
Of the five important factors for great nations, the Uzushigakure only demonstrated strong military power.
After all, the achievement of defeating the Land of Water existed.
Regarding this, no one would say anything.
But the other four factors truly had nothing to do with the Uzushigakure.
However, Chihiro didn't care about any of this.
Or rather, he never even thought about becoming one of the so-called Five Great Nations.
Even this title was first proposed by the other four great nations.
Besides the changes concerning the Uzushigakure, the battlefield in the Amegakure also saw developments.
Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure used the Amegakure as a battlefield.
The Three Great Shinobi Villages fought independently, with intense battles raging.
But this brought great suffering to the common people of the Amegakure.
With constant warfare, there was no peace anywhere.
Some Shinobi even committed massacres of the Amegakure's populace while on missions to avoid exposing their whereabouts.
If they were hungry or thirsty, they would rob.
If they were tired or weary, they would kill people and occupy their homes.
The people of the Amegakure suffered immensely, filled with grievances.
Eventually, Hanzou, the half god of shinobi and leader of Hidden Rain Village, could no longer bear it.
He directly declared war on Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure simultaneously!
The situation in the Amegakure became even more chaotic.
However, none of this concerned the Uzushigakure.
While there was chaos outside, the Uzushigakure enjoyed its own tranquility.
About four months had passed since the first batch of Soul Reaper Academy students enrolled.
Under a cramming education system, they successfully graduated from the school and became members of the Thirteenth Division.
The first batch of Soul Reaper Academy students provided over a thousand Regular Troop Type for the Uzushigakure.
There will be a second and third batch to follow.
Among them, Chihiro was particularly concerned about Senju Nawaki, Hozuki Rōgetsu, Kaguya Mayuzumi, and Terumī Teru.
These four individuals all possessed the potential to become Captain-level.
Hozuki Rōgetsu was assigned to the Second Division, Onmitsukidō, and personally mentored by Ōmaeda Marechiyo.
Hmm... that's Soi Fon's Division.
And he was killed by Soi Fon in his previous life.
It is said that Soi Fon personally requested him, such a perverse taste, truly unique... Kaguya Mayuzumi was assigned to the Eleventh Division, personally mentored by Kusajishi Yachiru.
The Eleventh Division is a combat Division, which aligns well with the Kaguya Clan's personality.
Terumī Teru, Ninth Division's Prison Division, personally mentored by Hisagi Shuuhei.
Senju Nawaki was assigned to the Third Division, Support Division, personally mentored by Kira Izuru.
As far as he knew, among these few, Senju Nawaki's progress was the fastest.
It is said that this kid sleeps with his asauchi every day and has already occasionally been able to communicate with it.
He is probably only waiting to learn the true name of his Zanpakuto before he can achieve Shikai.
One can only say, he truly lives up to being Senju Hashirama's grandson.
Although their potentials are of the same Rank, the speed at which that potential is realized differs.
In fact, Chihiro could also faintly hear the voice of a Zanpakuto.
But that voice was very faint, preventing him from communicating with it.
However, he wasn't in a hurry.
After all, there was still a mission as a fallback.
And the Eighth Division had already nearly completed searching for the mission's targets.
Two Uzumaki Clan members who were wandering in other small countries had even been brought back.
It's just that Chihiro had no impression of them.
There weren't many remaining Uzumaki Clan members,
and those worth his attention were only Kushina from Konoha, Uzumaki Haruna from Kusagakure, and Uzumaki Nagato from the Amegakure.
Among them, Uzumaki Haruna is suspected to be Uzumaki Karin's mother, but she is currently a young girl the same age as Kushina.
Perhaps because of her long red hair, she was brought back to Kusagakure by knowledgeable Grass Shinobi and became a registered Shinobi of Kusagakure.
As for Uzumaki Nagato, he is currently at the epicenter of the Second Great Ninja War.
And, he has already been equipped with the Rinnegan...
