Wave Country is an island nation. To call it a country is more accurately to say it's just a small island. The economy here is poor, and the people live in poverty.
More importantly, Wave Country is a country without Ninja. Although it has its own Feudal Lord, it is ruled by a merchant named Gato.
Moreover, this Gato is quite wealthy, said to be one of the richest people in the world. Even if he looted the warehouses of four Shinobi Clans in Konoha, he probably wouldn't be able to match him in terms of money.
The warehouses of ordinary large Shinobi Clans mostly contain Ninjutsu, secret techniques, and the like. Naruto even found the Sealing Scroll in the Sarutobi Clan's warehouse, which is still stored in his Sealing Space.
After all, Shinobi Clans generally focus more on inheritance, while merchants often pursue profit.
This is also why Naruto chose to settle in Wave Country, as it can complement the resources in his hands.
It's nearly October, but the weather is still hot. The waves, accompanied by the sea breeze, bring the salty and cool air of the sea.
This is Hyuga Neji's first time seeing the sea, and he finds it's just like that, not as shocking as he imagined. However, he did see someone he didn't expect at the entrance of a village.
When Sasuke Uchiha woke up from his coma, he kept shouting things like "I'll kill you" and "I must kill you."
But when he walked out of the room and saw his mother and a blonde aunt comforting a group of children, Sasuke could no longer control himself and threw himself into Lady Mikoto Uchiha's arms.
In the end, Lady Mikoto Uchiha had to comfort her crying little son first.
After crying his heart out, Sasuke quickly regained control of his emotions. His young face already had a bit of mature rationality, and he asked his mother to comfort the other children first, while he wandered around alone.
"Sasuke?"
Neji subconsciously called out the other's name, and when he saw Sasuke, he thought he was still in Konoha.
Sasuke also immediately turned his head when he heard the voice, and showed a surprised expression when he saw the two figures.
"Naruto!"
"This guy!" Neji couldn't help but twitch his lips. He was the one calling him, but this guy's first reaction was actually Naruto. Was he being too arrogant?
"Looks like you're recovering quickly, Sasuke."
Naruto also greeted Sasuke, feeling a bit amused in his heart. This feeling of intertwined fate is really peculiar.
Sasuke hurried over, stopped in front of Naruto, and asked curiously, "Why are you guys here too?"
"Naruto brought me here."
Neji pointed at Naruto.
"I brought you here too."
Naruto smiled and pointed at Sasuke.
Sasuke looked suspicious and said doubtfully, "But my mom said the Fourth Hokage brought us here."
"The Fourth Hokage?" Neji blinked his eyes, his little head full of big doubts. Wasn't he already sacrificed several years ago?
"I asked the Fourth Hokage to bring you here."
Naruto smiled, wanting to explain it simply, when he heard a voice not far away.
"Naruto-kun, you've finally arrived."
The three looked over, and Sasuke realized it was the blonde aunt from earlier.
Yakushi Nono felt a sense of reassurance when she saw Naruto approaching. She didn't know why, but even though Naruto was just a child, he was very reassuring.
She had been suddenly dropped in Wave Country a few months ago, which had left her feeling lost for quite some time.
"Miss Nonou, have the Uchiha been settled down?"
"Yes, with Naruto-kun displaying his strength, plus the Fourth Hokage and Lady Mikoto, the Uchiha are being very cooperative."
Nonou couldn't help but smile. She had always heard how extreme and arrogant the Uchiha were, how cold and obsessive.
But seeing them today, after arriving at the village, they were all behaving very well.
Naruto nodded in satisfaction. Since the Uchiha were being so obedient, he didn't plan to make an example of them.
"In that case, go and inform the Uchiha to select a few representatives to come over for a meeting."
"Yes."
After Nonou agreed, she went to inform the others.
Neji and Sasuke were already glaring at each other.
Naruto simply patted both of them on the shoulders, gave them an encouraging look, and then left.
"Damn it! Naruto, that guy, is he really that strong!" Sasuke couldn't help but clench his teeth, a look of unwillingness in his eyes.
"I have to train even harder!"
Neji's reaction was much calmer than Sasuke's. He had personally seen the ruins of the Sarutobi Clan grounds. To cause that kind of disaster, Naruto's strength would only be more terrifying than they imagined.
"Hmm?" Neji was still thinking when he suddenly felt a sharp gaze. He turned his head and saw Sasuke's one-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes.
"Hyuga Neji, I want you to help me train!"
...
Inside the simple wooden house, the decorations were also very simple.
Naruto sat in the main seat in the middle, with other Ninja sitting on both sides.
On the right were Minato Namikaze and Yakushi Nono.
On the left were Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Mikoto, and Uchiha Inaho.
The strength is a bit weak.
Naruto felt a little emotional. Although in terms of high-end combat power, even some of the Five Great Shinobi Villages were not as good as them, they were somewhat lacking in functionality.
First of all, there was only one medical Ninja, Yakushi Nono. The sensory-type Ninja Neji and Hyuga Natsu were barely usable, and as for someone with a slightly better brain, it seemed there was none...
It seems I need to get more people from other villages.
"Ahem, well then, let's talk about our future plans."
Naruto said with a serious face, and everyone on both sides sat up straight, looking like they were listening attentively.
"First of all, let me talk about our ultimate goal—to unify the Shinobi World."
Whoa—
As soon as these words came out, everyone present stirred, even Minato Namikaze showed a surprised expression; he hadn't expected this.
Inaho Uchiha, on the other hand, revealed a fanatical expression, which surprised Naruto, but he didn't pay much attention to it and continued, "Although with our current strength, few in the Five Great Shinobi Villages are likely to be our opponents, and it wouldn't be difficult to make them bow their heads in submission, what we want is not submission, but unification, a great unification!"
"This... Naruto, if it's a great unification, to what extent do you want to achieve it?"
Minato Namikaze couldn't help but ask. In his mind, there was no concept of great unification, after all, his thinking was limited.
"Standardize writing, standardize the gauge of vehicles, the entire shinobi world will have only one country, politically uniform, and highly centralized in economy and thought!"
"This..."
All the ninja present were horrified. This was a situation that had never occurred in the history of the shinobi world.
According to Naruto's meaning, if he wanted the entire shinobi world to have only one country, then he would inevitably have to attack the Feudal Lords of the Five Great Nations. However, the shinobi villages have always served the Feudal Lords. Wouldn't this be defying the world?
At that time, they would inevitably be attacked by the Five Great Nations.
The others all looked at Minato Namikaze, after all, it was better for Minato Namikaze to speak about this kind of thing.
"Naruto, in that case, the Feudal Lords of the Five Great Nations are probably..."
Minato Namikaze was, after all, a traditional ninja, and even his position as Hokage required the Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire to grant it.
"What? Do you still need to care about the opinions of a few bugs?"
Ninja possess powerful strength, but they have to submit to a group of trash. In this extraordinary world, it seems very strange.
A Great Fireball Technique could burn a large area of Feudal Lords to death.
"Minato Namikaze, the shinobi village system is outdated."
"From the time the First Hokage created the shinobi village system, in just a few decades, the shinobi world has already experienced three great wars."
"Ninjas have died batch after batch, but the interests of the Feudal Lords have never decreased. This is very unreasonable."
"This..." Minato Namikaze looked embarrassed, and then said, "What if the Five Great Shinobi Villages besiege us?"
Naruto looked at Minato Namikaze somewhat inexplicably and asked, "Have you forgotten the fate of Konoha so quickly?"
"...Okay, so what should we do now?"
Now Minato Namikaze had no objections, and the others had even fewer objections. With Naruto's current strength, probably no one in the shinobi world is his opponent anymore.
"Although we do not lack the force to unify, we lack the talent to maintain unification."
"First, we need to take over this country."
...
...
I'll just move Inazuma directly for the country, after all, they are both island nations, and it would be even more like it if we occupied the neighboring Water Country.
