January, the sixty-eighth year of Konoha.
After winning the Fourth Ninja World War, Konoha took two and a half months to settle the prisoners, briefly digest the fruits of victory, and then continued its pace to swallow up the ninja world.
Five hundred ninja soldiers were divided into fifty groups and swept through the four defense lines of the southeast, northwest, northeast, and southwest, eliminating all resistance forces, non-cooperative forces, and the political entities of various countries.
First of all, the small villages and nations such as the Land of Frost, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Taki, which had sent people to join the Ninja Alliance, finally faced a reckoning after living in fear for so long.
They had lost most of their high-end combat power and had no chance to compete with Konoha.
They did not even need Kage-level fighters to take action.
A ten-man squad led by an Elite Jōnin could deal with a small ninja village.
Moreover, the resistance encountered in these small ninja villages was not that strong. They originally existed as a buffer zone for the big nations. Now that the big nations had been defeated, what was the point of holding on?
Of course, most people who thought this way were civilians or lower- to middle-class ninjas and officials.
Those high-ranking daimyos and nobles hated Konoha and Yami to the core, believing they were people who did not know respect and dared to go against their will, pointing blades at the group in power.
However, the rebels were strong, while their subordinates were incapable. The leaders of these small countries fled and joined forces with the daimyos of several other major nations, trying to continue resisting Konoha by contributing manpower and resources.
The ruling classes of the five great nations had been passed down for thousands of years, and the leaders of smaller nations also had hundreds of years of heritage.
Even if the sky collapsed, there were still many samurai and ninjas surrounding them, all die-hard loyalists.
The Land of Fire had the Fire Temple, and other nations had similar institutions.
In addition, due to the vast terrain, progress slowed down at this stage.
Then, Konoha released several powerful weapons.
From One Tail to Eight Tails, and half of Nine Tails, the tailed beasts joined the assault teams. When they encountered a city with stubborn resistance, they simply closed the gates and released the tailed beasts, using Tailed Beast Bombs to wipe it out.
However, the aura of these tailed beasts had weakened a lot. In the eyes of powerful, perceptive ninjas, it was only about half of their usual strength.
This was indeed the case, as half of their chakra had been taken by Yami as rent.
From now on, the ninja world was his territory. These tailed beasts wanted to live freely without being coveted or disturbed by humans, so they had to show so respect.
Even Nine Tails inside Naruto had to pay rent. The whole world belonged to the king, including Naruto's belly.
When the Sage of Six Paths used Yin-Yang Release to create the nine tailed beasts, he locked their upper limits, so their chakra was eternal and unchanging, neither increasing nor decreasing.
Now that Yami had drained away half of the tailed beasts' chakra, it was like half of a full bucket of water had been scooped out. The remaining half would slowly recover after the tailed beasts absorbed natural energy, until the bucket filled again.
So, this rent was not a one-ti paynt. Yami had observed that it could be collected again in about ten years, which ant that energy equivalent to one chakra fruit could be extracted every decade.
This was sustainable fishing.
However, how many tis it could be repeated depended on how long the natural energy of the ninja world could last.
Yami did not want his territory to beco a wasteland.
Without natural energy, the ninja world would eventually beco a dead star like those countless planets the Ōtsutsuki had drained.
With the help of the tailed beasts, all resistance beca a paper tiger.
The hidden power of the samurai class that protected the daimyo and other clans, which regarded ninjas as mortal enemies, all appeared and collapsed one after another.
Finally, half a year after the operation began, the fragnted ninja world, including many small island nations around the main continent, was brought under the control of Konoha, truly completing unification.
Note that it was Konoha that completed the unification, not the Land of Fire.
Fire, Water, Thunder, Earth, and Wind, the nas of these nations entered the dustbin of history from this mont on. In the entire world, there was only one country, the Country of Ten Thousand Ninjas.
The country was governed by a completely new organization, independent of the outdated administrative system of the ninja villages, the World Governnt.
Konoha was responsible for public security construction, and the World Governnt was responsible for people's livelihood and developnt.
The two were equal, with no concept of who led whom.
Ninjas could also serve in the World Governnt, but correspondingly, they had to resign from all positions within the Konoha system and were not allowed to hold multiple posts at the sa ti.
The only exception was the mbers of parliant.
In addition to various departnts, the World Governnt also had thirteen parliantary seats. All major matters had to be voted on by parliant before they could be implented.
The Hokage and the Assistant Hokage in charge of Konoha would definitely hold two of those seats.
However, this system had just been established, and the candidates for the councillors had not yet been finalized, so Yami had to take charge.
And the first item passed after the establishnt of the World Governnt… was also ridiculous.
As expected, Shimura Yami's way of thinking was different from others.
(To be continued.)
