Chapter 88: Deciding the Five Capitals, the Goddess Army
The ministers sat down.
A guard set up a low table in the middle of the main hall, and then unfolded a map on the table.
This is a world map specially drawn by Ji Xing who commissioned Kaguya to describe it.
The place where the Mountain Kingdom now rules has been colored, occupying about one-sixth of the map, and some iconic mountains and rivers in other places have also been marked.
Ji Xing originally thought that the topography of the Naruto world a thousand years ago would be very different from that of later generations, because the battle where Hagoromo Hamura sealed Kaguya might significantly change the topography. However, after the map was drawn, he realized that this was different from his impression. There is not much difference in the world of Naruto.
I think most of that battle took place in Kaguya's space, and it might not have been as damaging as the damage caused by the first generation and Uchiha Madara. Otherwise, with the strength of the three of them, fighting for dozens of days, the world of Naruto would have become barren.
The sea is just a little narrower now.
The desert area of the Kingdom of Wind is also very small.
He pointed at the map and said: "I have two things to say to everyone today. The first thing is that I mentioned it to you when I named this capital the City of Fire."
The important ministers looked at each other and nodded one after another. Some people were slightly excited: "Damyo-sama, do you mean the five capitals?"
"Yes." Ji Xing picked up a pen and stepped forward to draw circles on all sides of the map: "This is the City of Thunder, this is the City of Water, this is the City of Earth, this is the City of Wind, under our feet When this capital was named the City of Fire, I determined the locations and names of the other four capitals. The goddess will assist us in establishing the capital there.
Haha, the only problem is that these four places do not belong to our mountain country yet, and now, we have to get them! "
The Kingdom of Mountains has stopped expanding for more than a year. It has developed steadily and built cities everywhere.
The ministers have long been looking forward to this day, looking forward to the Mountain Kingdom truly unifying the world!
And that won’t take long.
It is far more difficult to increase from 1 to 100 than from 100 to 600. It took five years for the Mountain Kingdom to develop from a small village to the current level, but if it wants to annex six or seven more such large territories, the officials feel that It may not necessarily take another five years.
After all, a behemoth like the Mountain Kingdom is here. Those daimyo who have not yet returned to the Mountain Kingdom know that there is no hope of resistance, and most of them have been destroyed.
Enjoy it as long as you can.
Some people are even looking forward to the expansion of the Kingdom of Mountains. I think the next thing that will affect the expansion of the Kingdom of Mountains is the speed of construction.
So many people volunteered to participate in the subsequent expansion.
Ji Xing waved his hand and said: "Let's discuss the details of the expansion slowly. Let's talk about the second thing first. Have you chosen the 4,000 strong warriors or smart young men that you have been asked to choose?"
“Yes, Lord Daimyo!”
“Are you gathering them to form an army to open up the other five capitals?”
“Yes and no.”
"It is the Goddess who wants to assemble them." Ji Xing said: "We are going to form a special army, the strongest army - the Goddess Army. Three days later, you will assemble them in the square outside Daming Mansion, and the Goddess will give them the power of chakra. !”
"…What?!"
"This is real?!"
The ministers were shocked and quickly confirmed.
After receiving Ji Xing's affirmation, some were shocked, while others were greatly regretful. If they had known this, they would have placed more of their own among the 4,000 people!
They thought that by gathering these 4,000 people, Ji Xing was taking away the power in their hands. They pushed and resisted one by one, just to save a few.
Ji Xing naturally knew that some factional disputes had arisen in the Kingdom of Mountains. The choice of identity as the son of a daimyo seemed to have given Ji
He would not say anything more about this. He just smiled and said: "Now that the list of 4,000 people has been decided, it cannot be changed."
The repentant ministers were startled, and immediately understood that Ji Xing was trying to remind them, and bowed their heads in awe.
“Yes! Lord Daimyo!”
Among the ministers, apart from his father and brother, the person closest to Ji Xing was naturally his brother-in-law Nara Shikazu.
He was slightly worried and said: "Lord Daimyo, if the goddess has given power to so many people at the same time, won't it... be in danger of shaking your rule?"
…
Kaguya has been in a bad mood recently.
Chakra had to be distributed to 4,000 people at the same time, even if the chakra distributed to these 4,000 people was probably equivalent to the amount of four Ji stars, it was still a little bit to her, and she felt very distressed.
But you can’t give it away.
She wants to find a formula!
When Ji Xing said he wanted to unify the Warring States, he said he would help her find a Yishi, and the person who wanted to find a Yishi must not be a completely ordinary person.
You must have a little chakra to let Kaguya know where this person is. If she finds the first move, is silenced by the first move, or has chakra absorbed by the first move, she can rush to the nearby area with the help of heaven and intercept the first move.
Otherwise it will be wasted effort.
She understands the truth and can’t help but feel distressed.
That's all my chakra.
Hagoromo and Hamura were reminded by Ji Xing early on. After returning to Kaguya, they each talked about the experience of their and Ji Xing's sparring today, especially Hamura, as if talking about cross talk to make Kaguya happy.
After listening to a paragraph, Kaguya smiled a little and let the two children play by themselves.
After some time, Ji Xing, who was discussing matters with the ministers, came back and greeted: "My lord Goddess!"
Kaguya saw Ji Xing and thought about the separation of chakra again, and her heartache intensified.
She knew that Ji Xing was thinking of her when he dispersed chakra this time, so as not to anger Ji Xing.
But there was another thing that concerned her.
Ji Xing lent her chakra for five years and hasn’t paid it back!
She wanted to say it several times, but she couldn't, and it gradually became a problem in her heart.
She asked: "Have the 4,000 people who will receive my chakra gifts been assembled in three days?"
"Yes, Goddess." Ji Xing approached and smiled: "In three days, when the Goddess gives them chakra, they can use mine first."
Kaguya was startled.
Ji Xing said: "I borrowed chakra from the goddess five years ago to practice magic. Although I haven't mastered magic yet, my progress has been very slow. It's not appropriate to hold your chakra anymore."
Kaguya's expression slowly softened, and her eyes softened. So he had always remembered it?
Instead, it’s me…
Ji Xing took the initiative to pay it back, but she hesitated even more. After a moment, she shook her head and said: "Forget it, with 4,000 soldiers with chakra, as a daimyo, you also need stronger power, so I will give you those chakras." , no need to return it to me."
Sometimes a friend lends you some money, and you don’t really care about the one hundred and eighty yuan, but if your friend has no intention of repaying the loan, you will be sad.
This is a matter of attitude, not a matter of being stingy or not!
The demon who got the expected answer from Kaguya looked at the 'pure' Kaguya, and did not refuse in any pretense, but smiled and said:
"Really? That's great. In fact, I can't bear to part with this power. I'm worried about it. If I give it to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat Hagoromo and Hamura."
Kaguya also smiled when he heard this: "They are my children after all, I heard what they said..."
The conversation between the two of them was no longer like a master-servant relationship, but like a pair of good friends.
Three days later, Ji Xing and Kaguya stood side by side in front of the Daming Mansion, accepting prayers from 4,000 people.
“Lord Daimyo!”
“My Lady Goddess!”
The voices of the 4,000 people who received the gift of chakra were so excited that they resounded throughout the Fire City and shook the sky!
The Goddess Army is formed!
