Chapter 252 Red Lotus, Don't Refuse Me!
As a transmigrator, Uchiha Mitsunori naturally knew about biodiversity and ecological balance.
So he created thousands of shadow clones to search for animals and plants throughout the ninja world and transport them to the nameless planet.
The combined fatigue from the thousands of shadow clones caused Uchiha Mitsunaka to collapse and fall asleep on the soft couch in the royal palace.
Tsunade, with her long golden hair loosely tied up, teased, "You're exhausted again? I told you not to use so many shadow clones at once, but you wouldn't listen."
Uzumaki Megumi gently wiped his body: "Husband, put on a towel for a while, and Tsunade and I will massage you to relax."
For the next hour, the bedchamber was filled with a soothing atmosphere.
Tsunade pressed on the pressure points of Uchiha Mitsuhide, while Uzumaki Megumi gently massaged his arm; the two worked together seamlessly.
In the past few days, in order to take care of the exhausted Uchiha Mitsunori, the two of them massaged him, so rumors spread in the palace that Mitsunori was famous for liking threesomes.
"Have you heard? His Majesty the Daimyo has Princess Tsunade and Princess Emi serve him in bed every night. He especially loves 'threesomes'!"
"Indeed, the two princesses come out of the Daimyo's palace every day with rosy complexions; they are clearly well taken care of!"
"If I could have the same good fortune as Your Excellency, I would die happy!"
Rumors spread like wildfire, from the palace to the marketplace, and soon throughout the capital of the Water Kingdom.
Many men, upon hearing the rumors, couldn't help but show envy, secretly regarding Uchiha Mitsunaga as a benchmark for "life winners."
Honglian, who lived in a mansion near the palace, also heard this rumor from her servants.
She sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, her fingers unconsciously stroking the teacup, a strange worry creeping into her heart.
Although she knew that there were many princesses around Sanfeng, she did not expect the rumors to be so "explicit" and was even more worried about her future situation.
But then she thought about it again, and realized that Sanfeng hadn't come to see her at all these past few days, so her worry was gradually replaced by disappointment.
Honglian muttered to herself, a complex look in her eyes: "Could it be that he was just saying it casually, and didn't care about me at all?"
A few days later, the atmosphere in the royal council chamber was unusually serious.
The propaganda minister, holding a thick ledger, beamed with pride: "After 'The Legend of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama' raked in tens of billions of ryo last year, the film industry in the Land of Water has suddenly clicked! They've already produced hundreds of films, ranging from ninja-themed to slice-of-life comedies. They're not only hugely popular in the Land of Water, but they've also been sold to other countries. With the film promotions, many people consider the Land of Water 'paradise' and want to live here!"
"Paradise is wonderful, but the immigration problem is becoming uncontrollable."
The Minister of Immigration frowned and continued, "Last month, the number of immigrants exceeded 30, mostly nobles and wealthy merchants from the Land of Fire. They are rich and powerful, so they are relatively easy to settle. But it's much more difficult for ordinary people. Many ordinary people also want to immigrate, but they can't afford the high ship fees, so they can only gather in the Land of Whirlpools. Now the streets of the Land of Whirlpools are full of refugees, and the order is chaotic. Local officials have requested assistance several times!"
Minato Namikaze's expression was also somewhat serious: "Last month, Amegakure attacked the Land of Grass. Onoki from Iwagakure led a group to stop them, but they were no match for the Akatsuki and suffered heavy casualties. Now there are wars all over the ninja world, and there will definitely be more people who want to immigrate to the Land of Water for refuge. The pressure of immigration will only be greater then."
Silence fell over the council chamber as the ministers looked at the daimyo in the main seat, waiting for him to make a decision.
Uchiha Mitsunaga tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his mind racing.
The Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Water are separated by a sea. Shipping is not only costly but also easily affected by the weather. To solve the immigration problem, a land route between the two places must be opened.
He chuckled softly, "Between the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Water, there are several islands. I plan to reclaim land from the sea, connect these islands, and build a land route so that carriages and pedestrians can travel directly from the Land of Whirlpools to the Land of Water. This way, commoners won't have to spend money, and the immigration problem can be alleviated."
The finance minister immediately exclaimed, his face full of worry: "Reclaiming land from the sea? This project is too huge! Even if we use ninjutsu, it will cost a lot of money, right? We just allocated funds to the ninja force last month, the national treasury is probably..."
The Uchiha Triumphs built numerous islands on the nameless planet, so they were very experienced.
He raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "Let me do it, it won't cost a penny. I'll go to space and get some meteorites to fill the sea, then use earth-escape techniques to move the silt from the seabed, and finally use wood-escape techniques to solidify it, so it won't cost the national treasury a single penny."
The propaganda minister's eyes lit up, and he immediately flattered with a beaming smile: "Your Excellency is brilliant! When you are reclaiming land from the sea to build the island, I will definitely have the entire process filmed and recorded, and made into a documentary called 'God-Created Continent'! Then everyone in the ninja world will see your godlike strength and majesty, which will surely attract even more people to the Land of Water!"
Other ministers echoed their sentiments, instantly enlivening the atmosphere in the council chamber.
Flattery will get you everywhere, and Uchiha Mitsunori smiled and nodded: "Alright, the documentary project is in your hands. I'll go to the sea area to survey it tomorrow and start the land reclamation project as soon as possible."
After the meeting adjourned, as many ministers walked out of the council hall, they saw Uchiha Shisui walking towards them.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Clan Chief, Honglian... she hasn't been in a good mood these past few days... she seems worried that you don't value her."
Uchiha Sanfeng paused for a moment before realizing that he had been busy with the nameless planet these past few days and hadn't had time for Guren.
He paused, then calmly replied, "I understand. I'll go see her tonight. You go and make preparations; you'll come with me to the sea area tomorrow to help me document the land reclamation process."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui turned and left.
Uchiha Mitsunori had some impression of Guren and knew that she was an arrogant person.
If I don't take the initiative, it will only make her more uneasy. To deal with this kind of person, you have to cut the Gordian knot.
In the dead of night, he teleported directly to Honglian's room!
Honglian was taken aback at first, then bowed respectfully: "Lord Sanfeng, what brings you here so late at night?"
Uchiha Mitsumine stepped forward, reached out and pulled her into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her.
The warm touch on her lips stunned Honglian.
"Isn't he a prestigious name? Why is he in such a hurry? Isn't he rumored to be very gentle and considerate towards women?"
An instinctive resistance welled up inside her, and she raised her hand to push the other person away.
Then a dignified voice was heard: "Don't refuse me!"
After saying that, Uchiha Mitsunori picked her up and laid her down on the bed.
Two hot tears suddenly slid down Honglian's cheeks and landed on the bedding.
She felt like she was nothing more than a plaything, devoid of any dignity.
