When Minamikawa Yuu chose to confirm, the whole world seemed to overturn.
Heaven and earth began to invert, and the world before his eyes gradually turned pitch black, no longer seeing the light of day.
Minamikawa Yuu only felt his consciousness being gradually pulled away, before falling into darkness.
It wasn't until the next moment that his world became bright once again.
When he opened his eyes again, his field of vision had already changed.
He was in a grand hall, which appeared magnificent and ornate everywhere, yet inexplicably carried a sense of old shabbiness, as if it hadn't been repaired for a long time.
Minamikawa Yuu subconsciously stood up, then realized his appearance had also changed.
He was now about ten years old, several years older than he originally was.
After reflecting for a moment, he stood before a mirror and looked at his current appearance.
Within the bronze mirror, his current appearance was revealed.
Only about ten years old, with delicate features, draped in a long robe, his overall attire looked very dignified; one could tell at a glance he was no ordinary person.
Just by looking at this appearance, one would know this person must be a noble, not comparable to ordinary commoners.
The exterior was magnificent enough, but his body had instead become much weaker.
"My Chakra..."
Feeling his weak body, Minamikawa Yuu couldn't help but frown.
This body's age was about ten years old, clearly a few years older than his original body, but the body had conversely become weaker.
The main reason for this was the lack of Chakra.
This body had absolutely no trace of Chakra.
Just now, Minamikawa Yuu had subconsciously tried to refine Chakra, but in the end, he failed as well.
"Land of Ancestors, this is also a completely unfamiliar name."
Minamikawa Yuu lowered his head in thought.
Memories surged in his mind, but to him, there wasn't the slightest trace of familiarity.
The Five Great Nations in his memory did not exist at all in this world; instead, there were names like the Land of Ancestors and Bi Country.
As for the profession of Ninja, it also did not exist at this time.
Currently, the military support of various countries was the Samurai class.
And even for Samurai, it seemed that the ability of Chakra did not exist at all.
There were various legends of demons in the outside world, said to cause trouble from time to time and devour many lives.
Overall, there was not a single point of similarity with the traces in Minamikawa Yuu's memory.
"Where the hell did this send me?"
Minamikawa Yuu had a bit of a headache.
This situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
Fortunately, because of his original body's existence, even if he died in this world, he wouldn't truly die; he would merely return to his original body.
Additionally, the options provided by the reincarnation panel were still authentic.
His name now was Tenji, the Daimyo of the Land of Ancestors.
The so-called Tenji was not a status, but merely a name.
However, the status of Daimyo was genuine.
His predecessor's father had died in a battle some time ago, and he had thus inherited the status of the Land of Ancestors' Daimyo, becoming the new Daimyo of the Land of Ancestors.
Unfortunately, although he was called a Daimyo, this country did not seem very large to Minamikawa Yuu.
Let alone comparing it to the Five Great Nations of later generations, it was probably even a bit inferior compared to a small country like the Land of Grass.
The entire country was not only small in territory and low in population, but also constantly faced strategic threats from enemy nations.
The people within the country were poor, generally making a living through farming; it could be described as being beset by difficulties both at home and abroad.
"Ah, the start isn't very smooth."
Carefully recalling the current situation, Minamikawa Yuu smiled unconsciously: "This is quite interesting."
He had thought this reincarnation would allow for a long period of cultivation, never expecting that this world wouldn't even have a power like Chakra.
Since that was the case, playing this reincarnation as a realistic construction game seemed quite good as well.
"Then next, let's start farming."
He thought to himself, then stood up.
Outside the Land of Ancestors, the current situation was actually quite terrible.
The poverty of the domestic population aside, outside the country, there was also the threat of Bi Country.
Now that the previous Daimyo had just fallen in battle, Bi Country was very likely to invade on a large scale.
Facing this situation, Minamikawa Yuu decisively chose to play humble.
In the name of a junior, he personally wrote a letter to the Son of Heaven of Bi Country, expressing his willingness to submit, proactively offering an annual tribute, and hoping to arrange an engagement with the princess of Bi Country to marry in the future.
With this series of actions, Bi Country was very satisfied with the Land of Ancestors' tactfulness.
With the external threat removed, Minamikawa Yuu began to focus on internal affairs.
He took out money from his private treasury, recruited Samurai on a large scale, and adopted orphans, spending two years building up a private force of his own before beginning a vigorous transformation.
In Minamikawa Yuu's view, the situation in the Land of Ancestors was rather primitive; the entire country was based on agriculture, and let alone ordinary commoners, even the nobles were very poor.
However, this was also an advantage for him.
Poor nobles meant that the resistance to domestic reform was reduced.
With external pressure weakened and a private army in his hands, there was not much difference between having this bit of resistance or not.
He reformed commerce, abolished various privileges of the domestic nobility, and also reduced checkpoints and taxes such as transit duties.
In agriculture, he distributed land, absorbed the population, and directly find excuses to deal with the domestic landlords.
As several years passed like this, the entire Land of Ancestors had already undergone great changes.
The population in various places multiplied, and people from various countries were attracted to come.
Towns prospered, commerce flourished, and public security greatly improved.
Tax revenue grew, which also attracted many Samurai and nobles, causing the strength of the entire country to grow significantly.
This year, Minamikawa Yuu was seventeen years old.
Unknowingly, he had been buried in development for several years.
Just as he was preparing for his next big move, an incident caught his attention.
In a place in the southern part of the Land of Ancestors, a God Tree suddenly appeared.
The God Tree had begun to appear last year; at first, it was not much different from an ordinary tree.
But after only one year, the God Tree grew vigorously, exceeding a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
This rapid growth rate attracted the attention of many people.
Gradually, this tree was also hailed as the God Tree, and its fame began to spread far and wide.
Minamikawa Yuu also noticed this God Tree at this time.
At this moment, he didn't perceive anything wrong.
Although this world didn't have the power of Chakra, there were still other supernatural powers.
There were Demons running rampant outside, as well as some Shrine Maidens who were said to possess a unique Senjutsu.
Among the samurai groups, many people also possessed unique techniques that could slay demons.
Minamikawa Yuu had a deep understanding of these things and had recruited many such figures under his command, so he naturally did not feel unfamiliar with these matters.
In his view, this so-called God Tree was likely just another type of demonic object, not enough to be considered strange.
However, this thing was located within the borders of the Land of Ancestors after all.
Out of curiosity, he still set off immediately, heading towards the place where the God Tree was located.
