Naruto: Start with three magatama and cultivate Kushina

Chapter 319 Shadow Mansion, Two Things the Daimyo Must Do

Yinyin Village - inside the photo studio.

"You're finally back, little brat... I thought you were dead out there... You haven't even sent me a letter in all these years. Do you still see me as your teacher???"

Seeing his beloved disciple return, Orochimaru immediately showed a resentful attitude.

"Teacher, why do you act like a shrew? I still like your old cool look..." Liuyun teased with a smile.

"You bastard, you have no respect for your elders..." Orochimaru couldn't help but curse with a smile.

"Orochimaru...Teacher!" Kushina bowed and greeted him.

"Hehe... Have you finally figured it out?" Orochimaru looked at Kushina meaningfully.

"Yeah, I've figured it out... This is Liuyun's second home, and it will also be my second home. Wherever he goes, I will go..." Kushina said what was in her heart.

"Hehe... This isn't a prison like Konoha. No one knows your identity. You can go wherever you want. Just be careful about your own safety..."

Orochimaru didn't care about Kushina's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. He knew the misfortunes and hardships of being a Jinchuriki, so he said this at this moment.

"I understand, thank you, teacher!" Kushina bowed politely again.

"Do you need me to find a female guide to help you get accustomed to the Otogakure Village?"

"No need, I'll just take her for a walk..." Liuyun took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"You? How long has it been since you came back? Haven't you noticed that the whole village has changed a lot? Can you still recognize the road?" Orochimaru glanced at him and sneered.

"I'm the Shadow of this village after all. If I don't know the way, I can just ask anyone and find out. Also, is the Shadow Mansion that the Daimyo built for me finished? Did you tear it down?"

"How dare I tear down Lord Shadow's mansion... That place is always being cleaned, you two can just move in directly..." Orochimaru joked with a hoarse laugh.

Liuyun nodded after hearing this, and then he took his sister and prepared to go back home. Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct Orochimaru:

"Send someone to invite the daimyo over. I'll be waiting for him at home."

Orochimaru nodded, without asking what Liuyun wanted from the Daimyo.

Walking on the bustling streets of Otogakure Village, Kushina saw many young faces. The whole village gave her the feeling of being prosperous and full of vitality.

"I think my teacher must have bought many boys and girls from other places, otherwise why would there be so many teenagers in the village..." Liuyun couldn't help but complain.

"Is it really okay for you to frame your teacher like this?" Kushina joked with a smile.

"I guessed right... The proportion of teenagers in the population of Otogakure Village now accounts for 70%. The teacher should have gathered the outstanding children in the Land of Rice here..." Liuyun confirmed this information after some perception.

He didn't know how many of these young people were geniuses that Orochimaru had abducted from other countries...

As they were talking, they arrived at the gate of a large manor.

"It looks like it's completely finished. That Daimyo of the Land of the Heavens... is really thoughtful!"

Looking at the luxurious manor in front of him covering an area of nearly ten acres, Liuyun nodded with satisfaction.

The construction of this manor had already begun before he went to Loulan. Although the Shadow Mansion was not as large as Daming Mansion, its luxury and refinement were definitely far superior to Daming Mansion.

The craftsmen who built this manor were all famous craftsmen invited from other countries, and the materials used were also the best selected from the country's resources.

This was a mansion built with funds from the national treasury of Tianzhi Country, and was also one of the precious gifts that the daimyo used to show his goodwill to Liuyun.

"Stop, this is the Shadow Palace's restricted area, no one is allowed to approach!"

A Genin who was standing guard in front of the Shadow Mansion raised his hand to stop the two men.

Liuyun took out a black token calmly.

When he saw the blood-red word "An" on the token, the Genin was so frightened that he immediately knelt on one knee: "An... Lord An Ying!!!"

"I'm...I'm sorry, Lord Shadow, I..."

Before the Genin could finish his words, Liuyun reached out and patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "You are very responsible and did a good job..."

"!!!"

A simple sentence made the Genin's face turn red, and he wished he could die for Lord Shadow on the spot.

"Hi!!!"

The young Genin burst into tears. Liuyun was shocked by this scene and couldn't help but sigh at the brainwashing methods of Orochimaru.

"Liuyun, this... is this our future home?" Kushina was shocked by the scene of the garden behind the door.

"Hmm, do you like it?"

Liuyun put his arms around her neck and asked with a smile.

"This...this is too luxurious..."

Every green plant and tree that Kushina saw was a valuable rarity. The entire garden was kept clean and tidy, with rockery and stone carvings, waterside pavilions, luxury swimming pools, entertainment facilities, and more in front.

"It's okay... The things are all good, but they lack a bit of spirituality..." Liuyun gave his evaluation after looking around.

At this moment, he was thinking: If only the dragon vein under Loulan could be moved here...

After entering the mansion, the two took a look around and found that it was exactly as Orochimaru had said. It had all the furniture and appliances needed. All that was missing was the two of them just moving in...

"I'll take you to buy some personal items, and we'll live a good life here from now on..."

"Uh-huh!"

Kushina nodded heavily. She was very satisfied with this place. As long as Liuyun was by her side, anywhere could be her home.

After the two settled down, at nightfall, the Daimyo of Tian Country quickly entered the manor under the escort of two Jonins.

When he saw Liuyun, the Daimyo of Tian Country was very happy, and his words and actions seemed extremely humble, which made Kushina feel that the person in front of her was not like a high-ranking Daimyo of a country, but more like a... butler servant!

"I asked you to come here today for two reasons."

"Lord Shadow, please give me any instructions. I will do my best to accomplish it, regardless of whether I can do it or not..." The Daimyo of Tianzhi Country promised solemnly.

Liuyun nodded upon hearing this and said, "First, I need you to send a grain caravan to Loulan to ensure that the small country has enough food supplies. I will have the ninjas from Yinyin Village help escort the caravan."

After Liuyun finished speaking, the Daimyo of Tianzhiguo finally asked, "Where exactly is this small kingdom of Loulan?"

"It's a small country with a population of tens of thousands, located in a desert area on the border of the Wind Country. It can be found on the map of the Ninja World. There are passages connecting to the outside world, so it's quite convenient to transport supplies in."

"Transporting food... The situation in the ninja world is very complicated now. If the food team travels such a long distance, it will easily be targeted by ninjas from the five major countries..." The daimyo stated the difficulties with a serious expression.

"You don't need to worry about this. I will arrange for the senior ninja to ensure the safety of the grain team." Liuyun said calmly.

"Okay! Leave the food and transportation to me, and you guys take care of the escort mission." The Daimyo of Tianzhikuni directly accepted the task.

"What about the second thing?"

"The second thing is, Kushina and I are getting married. You will be in charge of all the wedding arrangements. We don't need to make it a grand affair. We can just treat the whole village to a nice banquet..."

Liuyun was not polite at all to the Daimyo of Tianzhikuni. He did not like to owe favors to others. If he was willing to ask the Daimyo of Tianzhikuni for help, he would definitely pay him a reward that would drive the other party crazy.

"So this is such a good thing! Congratulations to both of you!!!"

Tian Zhiguo quickly stood up and congratulated him, then patted his chest and promised, "I'm honored to be able to organize the wedding for Lord Shadow, and I thank Lord Shadow for his trust... Leave this matter to me, I'll go back and arrange it, and I guarantee that your wedding will be a beautiful one!"

He was not afraid of Liuyun making demands, but he was afraid that this "Phantom Sun Dragon God" would not want anything and treat his name as a transparent person.

The Third Shinobi World War is about to begin, and with a peerless master guarding the Hidden Sound Village, the Daimyo of the Land of Rice will have nothing to worry about. Upon his return, he'll immediately formulate a strategy to profit from the war!
