#119 - Chapter 119: Mizunotsuki Clan? Building the Hidden Snow Village
After resolving the issue with the noble families who were specifically targeting Koyuki for assassination, Naruto intended to consolidate the ninjas of the Land of Snow and control Yukigakure!
However, when he found the so-called Yukigakure, he discovered that it didn't exist at all!
Or rather, the entire Land of Snow was Yukigakure!
He found a surrendered ninja and carefully learned about the history of this 'Yukigakure,' discovering that the Land of Snow was different from all other countries!
In this world, the relationship between countries and ninja villages is mostly one of cooperation and alliance!
While the Daimyo can decide whether to initiate wars on a political level and can also decide on the successor of the next Kage, they cannot interfere with the operation and development of the village!
That is to say, on the surface, the two are in a superior-subordinate relationship, but in reality, the ninja village enjoys a high degree of autonomy!
But the Land of Snow is different!
The Land of Snow not only did not separately allocate a piece of land to establish Yukigakure, but the 'Kage' of all ninjas is their monarch!
The reason for all this is Dotō Kazahana!
Before Dotō Kazahana, this country had no ninjas, let alone an institution for training ninjas.
It was only after Dotō Kazahana returned that the ninja forces of the Land of Snow were established!
As for why it is said that he returned,
according to Koyuki Kazahana, her uncle left the country when she was very young.
When he returned, he brought a group of ninjas skilled in using Ice Release ninjutsu and seized the country's power, which was ten years ago!
And ten years ago, it was exactly the time of the Bloody Mist period in Kirigakure.
So it is difficult not to associate Dotō Kazahana with the Haku clan of Kirigakure.
In addition, Dotō Kazahana himself can use Ice Release ninjutsu, so perhaps his mother or his ancestors were members of the Haku clan!
Dotō Kazahana knew from a young age that the Daimyo position would not be passed on to him, so he put down his noble status and joined Kirigakure to learn ninjutsu!
During this period, Dotō Kazahana quietly built his own power, attracting a group of ninjas including 'Nadare Rōga'!
However, because of the rule that ninjas cannot leave the village at will, he never had the opportunity to return to the Land of Snow after completing his training, and his subordinates could not defect from Kirigakure, a powerful ninja village, for this reason!
It was not until Obito Uchiha, controlled by the Fourth Mizukage, created a reason for them to defect!
It was also the opportunity that Dotō Kazahana had waited for a long time!
How inspiring!
It is no exaggeration to say that Dotō Kazahana is a tyrant!
He endured hardship, put down his status, was willing to endure hardship, and even risked his life to become a ninja!
Compared to such a monarch, Koyuki's father seems a bit mediocre.
If it weren't for their system of嫡长子inheritance, Koyuki's father would probably just be an ordinary nobleman, enjoying an ordinary life every day until he died!
But then again, whether it's a tyrant or a mediocre ruler, they are now dead, and it has nothing to do with Naruto!
What he has to do now is to establish Yukigakure in this country, leaving a backup plan for him to complete system tasks in the future!
After all, to become the Hokage of Konoha, even without Tsunade, without the two advisors, without Kakashi, without Asuma Sarutobi, without... it may not be his turn!
There are too many conditions to become the Hokage of Konoha, you must have qualifications, strength, get the approval of the advisors, get the approval of most of the Jonin in Konoha, and finally get the approval of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!
So much approval, Naruto thinks it's troublesome!
And when Pain invades, he carries rice to which floor, killing eighty or ninety percent of the people in Konoha, it will be easier to rebuild Konoha Village than to directly become the Snow Kage in the Land of Snow!
In the Land of Snow, he can become the Snow Kage whenever he wants to complete the task, and he doesn't have to if he doesn't want to!
Even if he only does it for a day, it doesn't matter!
After all, the Daimyo of the Land of Snow listens to him...
Although he is doing this by taking advantage of Koyuki's feelings for him, he prefers to call it a transaction!
He helped Koyuki consolidate the power of the Land of Snow and strengthen the power of the Land of Snow, and he only got some insignificant power from it!
Feelings are just added by Koyuki herself, he believes that even if he changed to a Koyuki who doesn't like him, she would still be willing to make this deal!
After all, if there is no Land of Snow, there is still the Land of Tea, the Land of Waves...
He has a lot of choices!
The reason why he chose the Land of Snow is only because there is an opportunity to control this country now, the Land of Snow needs him, and he can also need the Land of Snow!
That's all!
......
Two months after Naruto and the others returned to the Land of Snow,
under Naruto's operation, Yukigakure has been simply established.
The entire Yukigakure is composed of ninjas who were trained by Dotō Kazahana, later relied on noble families, and finally surrendered to him.
He looks down on these ninjas and will not let them take on important responsibilities, but it is more than enough to let them train the next generation of ninjas.
Naruto asked Koyuki to issue an edict, ordering all children in the Land of Snow who are over 6 years old and under 12 years old to go to Yukigakure for the entrance exam, and all children who pass the exam can voluntarily choose whether to stay in the ninja school to study!
But once you join the ninja school to study, you must join Yukigakure and become a ninja after graduation, and you cannot quit at will, and you must be loyal to Yukigakure for life!
In order to attract more children to enroll, Naruto applied for funds from Koyuki and gave each family whose children choose to stay in school a monthly subsidy of five hundred taels!
Under the temptation of money, many families who cannot afford to raise their children send their children to the ninja school for the entrance exam!
But not many children in this country can really pass the entrance exam!
Because of the special geographical environment of the Land of Snow, most of these children are malnourished and have poor physical fitness.
The only thing worth praising is the willpower that has been tempered by years of hardship!
But having willpower without chakra is useless!
This village doesn't have Might Guy,
and Rock Lee also has chakra, but he just doesn't have much talent for learning ninjutsu!
After a period of screening,
in the end, forty-six children from the entire Land of Snow enrolled!
Although the number is not large, these forty-six children will become the backbone of Yukigakure after several years of training!
One generation trains another, and eventually Yukigakure will become stronger and stronger!
Of course, the premise is that the economy will not be cut off and there will be no war that will destroy the village...
Naruto made Karin the first principal of the ninja school, responsible for the entire operation of the ninja school.
Then he set up a supplementary position, letting a Yukigakure ninja, Yukina, who he thought was more pleasing to the eye, take the position.
Yukigakure has not established a Snow Kage, Naruto only controls the entire village behind the scenes.
Therefore, it is necessary to set up a supplementary position to deal with some things on the surface.
However, because the Land of Snow has no plans to accept civilian commissions for the time being, the job of the auxiliary position is not much!
It is mainly responsible for the construction of the village's houses, commercial management, and the supervision and management of other ninjas!
Things like ninja identity registration, positions, information, contributions, etc. all need to be recorded and processed by her, the Hokage's assistant!
