If the Fire Kingdom or the Wind Kingdom starts a war, there will always be people stationed on the front lines to prevent it.
The Kaguya clan took charge of this matter alone, after all, they were born to fight.
Since there are no enemies inside the Water Country, let's focus on those guys outside.
By the way, suppress the daimyo.
The daimyo's mansion is close to the Hyuga clan's territory, which can directly seal the daimyo's actual ruling area.
The Kizuna clan is responsible for keeping a close eye on the Land of Lightning, but the clan leader, Kizuna Huanyue, chose to settle in the Hidden Mist Village, and leaving behind some elders is enough to solve most of the problems within the family.
Mizunotsuki Ryo also settled in the Hidden Mist Village. There is no big country or powerful ninja village in the east, so there is no need for the entire Kaguya clan to stay behind.
Once the various families in the village had assigned their positions, Bai Lian would have to decide on the establishment of diplomatic relations.
Communicate well with other major countries and ninja villages to resolve the issues.
"There is no rush for this matter. Rather than establishing diplomatic relations with whom first, it is better to prepare for who will attack. Once we announce the name of 'Shadow', we will definitely be questioned by the big countries. The Fire Nation is still easy to deal with, but the other three countries, especially the Lightning Nation in the north, they will send troops at any time."
Yuzhongjin said solemnly.
Shadow is a synonym for powerful, but also a title that is easily targeted.
If there is no "Shadow", it will not be considered a great ninja village and will not be respected, so they must protect it and get recognition from the great powers.

Recommend a book.
There is no one kinder than me
Volume 177 Water Shadow Ninja (The Hidden Mist Village): Chapter 4 Chapter The Trace of the Nine-Tails [K]
……
The country of thunder, Yunyin Village.
Founded on a towering mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, and echoing with deafening thunder, the village was built by the first Raikage, Ai, who lobbied the Night Moon Clan of his country to obtain this vast land.
In the conference room, the top leaders of the Hidden Cloud Village gathered together to discuss the affairs of the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water.
Not long ago, they also received a message from the Hidden Mist Village that the other party intended to call itself the "Great Ninja Village" and even disclosed the name of Kage.
"How ridiculous! How dare such a small country be so arrogant."
A high-ranking member of the Hidden Cloud Village sneered.
Even if the land area of the Water Kingdom expands, it is not certain whether it is even one-fourth the size of the Thunder Kingdom, and is only slightly larger than the Rain Kingdom.
"We can't underestimate them. We have never been clear about the situation in the Water Country. Since they dare to make it clear, it means they have a trump card to prevent being attacked by a group."
Another senior executive was more conservative.
"Permanent neutrality is a really good strategy. Now we are restricted. At least on the surface, we cannot take direct action, otherwise we will be targeted by the forces of neighboring countries."
Many elders looked at each other.
"In that case, let's send the armed forces led by Jinjiao and Yinjiao to test it out."
Finally, a high-ranking member of the Hidden Cloud Village raised his opinion.
"Both of them? That's true. It's a good idea indeed."
Other senior executives also nodded.
Kinkaku and Ginkaku, as their names suggest, have horns on their heads and have the bloodline of the Six Paths Sage in their bodies, so they have some characteristics of the Otsutsuki clan.
He was born with a huge amount of chakra. Even though he is less than 20 years old now, he is much stronger than the ordinary elite jonin. He holds the ninja tools left by the Six Paths Sage and has also eaten the flesh and blood of the Nine-Tails to gain the ability to transform into a tailed beast.
Strength is above "shadow".
The first Raikage, Ai, spent countless efforts to subdue them, but he finally won the battle.
Even though Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha are at the pinnacle of this era, it does not mean that other characters of the same period are incapable.
"Two rays of light in the clouds".
The Hidden Cloud Village respectfully calls Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
……
At the same time, in the Sand Village in the Land of Wind.
The Shodaime Kazekage and Reito sat in the conference room, discussing the affairs of the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water with the other tribal elders.
The Kingdom of Wind was not originally a big country, but a combination of countless chaotic tribes, which were finally integrated by Reito with pure force. Although they live in a harsh environment and have a small population, their overall strength is not low.
In addition to the "Wind Shadow" that is in the open, there are also several hidden Shadow-level powerhouses.
They are all the last few people who have fought their way out from thousands of ninjas in order to fight for the only "oasis".
"I will lead the team to 'visit' the Land of Water."
A "Kage" level ninja hiding in the dark spoke up.
"Well, I leave it to you."
Kazekage Reito nodded slightly.
……
The Country of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village.
"……interesting!"
Hashirama Senju, who served as the first Hokage, glanced at the letter sent by the messenger from the Hidden Mist Village.
Permanent neutrality means giving up the right to wage war.
For Hashirama Senju, who was fighting for peace, this was exactly what he got.
"Tobirama, what do you think?"
Senju Hashirama looked at Senju Tobirama next to him.
"The overall strength of the Hidden Mist Village is unknown. Speaking of which, we have never paid attention to the overseas situation. I think we should send ninjas to investigate."
Senju Tobirama answered.
"makes sense……"
Senju Hashirama thought about it and decided to let Senju Tobirama go to the Hidden Mist Village in person.
Senju Tobirama is good at water jutsu and is also his younger brother, so he can be trusted to do things for him.
"By the way, is there any news about Madara?"
Senju Hashirama suddenly asked.
"No, not yet. However, Uchiha Madara has already gone to the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning in search of the tailed beasts. There aren't many places left."
Senju Tobirama thought about it.
Several years ago, when the Hidden Leaf Village was established, Uchiha Madara left the village because he was dissatisfied with the policies of Hashirama Senju. It goes without saying that he left the village in search of the power to defeat the latter. The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan alone was no match for the powerful Wood Release.
This power is only possible with the legendary nine tailed beasts.
"The Two-Tails, Three-Tails, Four-Tails, Five-Tails, Six-Tails, and Eight-Tails are all in our village. Let's not talk about the One-Tails and Seven-Tails for now, but there is still no news about the strongest Nine-Tails. If Uchiha Madara captures the Nine-Tails..."
Senju Tobirama looked solemn and continued, "Brother, please make a decision as soon as possible. That guy cannot stay for long. He is now a threat to us."
"I know."
Senju Hashirama lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Seeing this, Senju Tobirama could only sigh deeply.
……
At the same time, in the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water.
Yuzhuanjin is still promoting the construction and development of the village.
Of course, the Hidden Mist Village is not hers to decide alone, and any policy must first be submitted to the "cabinet", but her decisions will be adopted most of the time.
"Let the Mizunoe clan be responsible for building the 'Bugyo-sho' and maintaining the village's security."
Bai Lian looked at the plan submitted by Yuzhong Jin, and then handed it to Mizunoe Leng.
The battle-mad Kaguya clan has been stationed at the border of the Water Country and will hardly be transferred back unless for special reasons. The Hozuki clan's personalities are not suitable either, so it would be better to let the conservative and neutral Mizunotsuki clan be responsible for public security management.
"It's up to you, Hozuki, to form this 'Anbu'."
Bai Lian put another plan in front of Gui Deng Huan Yue.
"In charge of dark security? Of course."
Hozuki Gengetsu was also very interested in this, especially since the family secret technique "Water Transformation Technique" was also good at hiding, not to mention that this was a department that could carry out dangerous missions.
"Then as for 'Ninja School', I will handle it with Yuzoujin."
After saying that, Bai Lian raised his head and looked at Yuzhongjin at the other end of the cabinet meeting.
Ninja schools will recruit children of civilians in order to maintain the relationship between ninjas and civilians. Bai Lian is really worried about letting family ninjas do this kind of thing.
Especially, school is a place to win people's hearts, and Bai Lian has decided to let the knowledgeable Yuzhongjin take over the position of the second-generation Mizukage, so naturally he will also let the latter take responsibility.
"These three departments are only the main ones, and they also take time to build. We still have to give priority to guarding against possible pressure from other major countries. Schools need to be postponed, at least until the overall situation is settled."
Yuzhongjin continued to explain: "The existing ninja army cannot be disbanded casually. Construction cannot be completed in a day. Too much change in a short period of time will only cause the progress to collapse."
“It’s really complicated.”
Hozuki Gengetsu rubbed his forehead lightly. No wonder Kaguya Nagahide ran to the border of the Water Country on his own. He himself felt a headache because of the meetings he had held in recent days.
After the meeting, Hozuki Huanyue started to organize the dark department, which required transferring the right people.
Kurisanae Masae and Murasaki Shichi under Myoujin, Togusa Yaeito under Byakuren, and the ice escape user from the family to which Mizunotsuki Ryou belongs.
Hozuki Gengetsu does not intend to turn the Kirigakure Anbu into a private armed force, but to recruit talents from all sides to maintain the balance.
Mizunotsuki Ryo's public security management agency and enforcement office also found some members of the Kizuna clan who were unwilling to work in secret.
Nothing helps people let go of grudges more than collaboration.
The construction of the school needed to be delayed, and Yuzenjin took advantage of this period to order people to design the forehead protectors for the Hidden Mist Village to distinguish the identities of the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village.
Rather than saying "design", it's more of a process.
Yuzhuanjin directly copied the pattern from the original work and was also recognized by the public.
A few days later, Yuzhongjin came to receive the first batch of forehead protectors made by the Hidden Mist Village and put them on. It felt new and fresh, and he finally looked like a ninja.
First came the Jonin, then the Chunin. There were too many Genin and it would take some time to distribute them.
The Kirigakure Village cabinet meetings are held every day.
This time, it was Yuzhongjin's proposal again.
"Is this the only thing you need to register your identity as a ninja?"
Bai Lian picked up an identity card, which was the product of Yuzhuanjin's initial experiment at the social affairs office.
"That's right. Ninjas are different from civilians. They control the power of chakra. If we don't manage it... no, it's better to say we are preventing it, preventing ninja spies from other countries."
Yuzhongjin picked up an ID card and injected her divine power into it. The green light shone. She continued, "Ordinary civilians don't have to go through so much trouble because they don't have the ability to enter military strongholds and other areas. But ninjas can sneak in and disguise themselves, so we must have enough means to distinguish whether their public identities are normal or not."
"That being said, what should we do if this kind of thing is forged by another country?"
Gui Deng Huan Yue asked a question.
"Regardless of whether they have the ability to do so, if it is really forged, then we can try another method. What I mean is just to take precautions. It is better to have precautions than nothing, right?"
The identity cards made by Yuzhuanjin use divine power, and only beings with the same divine power can forge them.
If anyone had this ability, they would probably just call in directly. There would be no need to do anything like forging an identity.
"Seconded."
Mizunotsuki raised his hand to vote.
"I think it's feasible, then the problem is the craftsmanship."
Bai Lian asked.
"My shrine will be in charge. After all, this is confidential, so we need to find someone we trust enough."
