In the following days, Uchiha Tenxiu, Uchiha Yukino, Lingyue, and others returned to Great Zhou and settled down in the main city of Jianye.
They were not overly worried or concerned about the situation in Konoha.
After all, the Uchiha Clan Military Police Force now had Utchiha Feiniao in charge, and he was fully capable of handling any potential troubles.
Having already respectfully aligned himself with Uchiha Tenxiu, he now served as Uchiha Tenxiu's mouthpiece in Konoha, essentially standing on the same side as Uchiha Tenxiu.
Given Uchiha Tenxiu's displayed strength, intelligence, power, and various methods, it was impossible for him to show any betrayal!
Moreover, Uchiha Tenxiu had specifically left a group of his direct subordinates to assist him; these were people he could trust, sufficient to deal with any situations that might arise in Konoha.
Therefore, even though they were far from Konoha, they still had sufficient control and countermeasures over the situation there.
Not to mention the existence of the directional teleportation gates.
If necessary, they could return at any time.
It was at this moment, because Uchiha Tenxiu was about to stay in another parallel dimension for a long time, Yukino and Lingyue seemed to suddenly realize something, which made their dependence and intimacy towards Uchiha Tenxiu grow stronger, sticking by his side every day, unwilling to leave for a moment.
And Uchiha Tenxiu's thoughts were drawn back to the Ninja World War in another parallel dimension.
At the end of that war, the Sand Ninja Village, due to their escape, deviated from their original route but coincidentally stumbled into the country of Lou Lan.
He recounted this experience in detail to Yukino and Lingyue, instructing them to sever all intelligence leads that could expose Lou Lan's existence.
After all, Lou Lan held extraordinary significance for Uchiha Tenxiu's future plans.
Lou Lan was a vast and boundless land, now developing at an astonishing speed under the dual influence of Ninjutsu and technology, changing with each passing day, showcasing endless potential and possibilities.
More importantly, the land beneath Lou Lan not only possessed abundant resources but also sufficient strategic depth, which could provide Uchiha Tenxiu with a stable continental foothold.
Therefore, Uchiha Tenxiu would never allow any outsiders to covet Lou Lan.
He wanted to protect this place and make it his solid backing in this main world.
And excluding the exposure during the First Shinobi World War, the Sand Ninja Village would naturally not risk actively crossing the entire vast desert to explore Lou Lan, which was considered a barren land.
This way, the land of Lou Lan would have more time to develop and grow, and Uchiha Tenxiu could more securely build it into his base.
Uchiha Yukino nodded slightly in agreement, her voice calm and firm: "I will order the Shadow Anbu to allocate a portion of their strength specifically to maintain the defense of Lou Lan, this important stronghold."
As they had an entire country in their hands, with millions of people to choose from, the number of individuals with excellent Ninja talent was countless, naturally leading to a large number of elite Ninja being cultivated and joining the Shadow Anbu.
The number of people she could deploy, excluding those with their own missions, amounted to several hundred Jonin.
They were all mass-produced goods maintained by Uchiha Tenxiu's Chakra Seed, so there was nothing to regret even if they were lost!
Deploying these people to Lou Lan would serve a dual purpose: helping Lou Lan open up new lands and assisting with its security defense.
Uchiha Yukino's expression was exceptionally solemn; ever since she learned that Lou Lan possessed the power to traverse parallel dimensions, she deeply understood the potential dangers and importance of this ability.
This secret must not be leaked, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
She would never allow anyone to covet the Dragon Vein, not even to inquire about related information.
Although she knew that Uchiha Tenxiu had taken all the power of the Dragon Vein, who knew if there might be any fragmented secrets hidden in this country near the Dragon Vein.
Therefore, regarding any possible information that could not be exposed, it meant severing all external tentacles and eliminating all outsiders.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Yukino's usual gentleness changed, and her eyes now held a hint of killing intent.
Just then, Uchiha Yukino paused thoughtfully, then specifically asked: "Currently, there is a publicly known Uchiha Clan elder's stronghold within the You Country, which might be monitored by the clan in the future.
Moreover, a large number of people from You Country go out to sea every year, perhaps we can directly control them to ensure foolproof security."
As Great Zhou developed rapidly, besides the fixed teleportation gates in various major strongholds of the Ninja World, a brilliant pearl-like midway island existed between Great Zhou and You Country.
Although its range was not large, only about twenty kilometers in diameter, and its east and west sides were divided into two by towering mountains in the center, it had been meticulously crafted by Uchiha Tenxiu into a unique special island.
One side, closer to the Ninja World's You Country, was like a hell, filled with various ferocious strange beasts.
These strange beasts were extraordinarily powerful, posing a great threat even to Jonin, preventing any unauthorized entry from the mainland like an impenetrable wall.
Controlled by Chakra Seed, they completely obeyed Great Zhou's arrangements.
The other side of the island was an impregnable military base, also bearing the heavy responsibility of Great Zhou's future bridgehead in the Ninja World.
Although there were already teleportation gates available for transport, the overt transit station served as a crucial hub and trap, awaiting the enemy's arrival.
Therefore, impregnable defensive forces were deployed here.
Not to mention, under Uchiha Tenxiu's meticulous planning, the military base possessed powerful firepower, with land, sea, and air forces ready for support like an iron Great Wall.
Even in the ocean, a large number of deep-sea summoned beasts from Great Zhou were deployed, like loyal guardians, providing strong assistance for operations.
Therefore, even though the immigration from You Country had been going on for a long time, nothing had been exposed.
Everyone thought it was a divine disappearance or an encounter with demons, and due to the customs of You Country, no one questioned it.
So, in the past, Great Zhou did not need to worry about anything.
But now, with the Ninja World War, these small countries in the corners have become special refuges, and outsiders will not be affected by customs and will definitely question the unreasonable disappearance of a large number of people.
To this end, if You Country is directly taken over, various policies can be better established to provide a reasonable explanation for the disappearance of these people.
At the same time, it can also avoid various probes from outsiders.
Only with the name and righteousness of the You Country's ruler can various arrangements be made to prevent any questioning.
"Yes!" Uchiha Lingyue nodded in deep agreement, continuing: "You Country is very important to us, not only because we have infiltrated there, but also because the main stronghold of the Bounty Hunter Guild is within the borders of You Country.
Furthermore, the Shadow Anbu's first choice for the Ninja World continent is also to start from You Country."
She paused, then analyzed: "With the outbreak of war, a large number of outsiders will inevitably flood in, and they may try to hide in You Country.
Although we have been secretly preventing all those who enter from escaping, after all, we are not the overt rulers of this country and cannot legitimately blockade it.
Only by completely taking over everything in this country can we reasonably control it."
"Hmm, you both make a lot of sense.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, due to the outbreak of the Ninja World War, other Ninja villages are preoccupied, so we can seize the opportunity to conquer You Country.
Although it's a bit early, it's not a bad thing."
Uchiha Tenxiu nodded, not rejecting their ideas; anyway, he had already planned to leave the future arrangements of Great Zhou to Yukino and Lingyue.
It might as well be an opportunity for them to gain experience with You Country.
After all, this was an excellent opportunity for them to learn in practice how to better conquer a country.
