In the conference hall, Yu Xi's long golden hair looked like flowing molten gold under the sunlight coming through the skylight.

Her equally golden eyes swept across every figure present, and wherever her gaze reached, the air seemed to freeze.

"Now that everyone has signed the agreement," Yu Xi's voice was clear but unquestionable, "I will now announce the basic national policy of the Wu Kingdom."

She raised her hand slightly, and a huge scroll flew out from her sleeve.

It automatically unfolded in the air, and was covered with densely written words.

Orochimaru walked forward with a sinister smile and began to read in his signature hoarse voice:

"Article One: The Hidden Leaf Village and the Hidden Sand Village will be merged into the 'Oasis Administrative District', responsible for national environmental improvement and economic development. You have the most fertile land and the most brilliant minds, but if you can't even do this well..."

Orochimaru licked his lips, "Lord Yuxi will personally send someone to 'assist' with management."

"Second," Orochimaru continued, "The Hidden Mist Village is responsible for the management and distribution of water resources throughout the country. Any illegal pollution or destruction of water resources—"

His voice suddenly became sharp. "Immediate execution, and all relatives within three generations will be punished."

Mei Terumi's nails had pierced into her palms, and blood was dripping from between her fingers onto her dark blue dress.

As a Mizukage who had experienced the cruel policies of the "Bloody Mist Village", she hated this system of collective responsibility more than anyone else.

Chojuro looked at his shadow worriedly, afraid that she would do something irreversible in a moment of impulse.

"Third, the Iwagakure Village will be responsible for transforming the entire country's terrain." Orochimaru's gaze fell on Ōnoki, "All mountains and valleys that are not conducive to transportation and agricultural development will be razed to the ground. Aren't you Iwagakure ninjas the best at earth escape techniques? This shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Ohnoki's frown deepened.

But when he saw Uchiha Madara's cold Rinnegan, he dared not say a word.

Yu Xi suddenly stood up, and the dark patterns on his robe flowed like living things in the light.

She walked to the center of the conference room and raised her voice suddenly: "The most important thing is - from today on, Wu State will implement a distribution system according to work! Any behavior of exploiting workers and engaging in corruption,

Her golden pupils suddenly contracted, "Kill without mercy!"

The temperature in the conference room seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.

Minato Namikaze noticed keenly that when Yu Xi said "kill without mercy".

The corners of Uchiha Madara's mouth rose slightly, an expression as if he saw an interesting toy.

"The underground black market, the slave trade, human trafficking..." Yu Xi's voice grew colder with each word she spoke. "These dirty dealings must be completely eradicated within three days! All confiscated property must be distributed to the common people."

Gaara nodded slightly.

As a former Jinchūriki, he understood the suffering of the lower classes better than anyone else.

Temari noticed her brother's reaction and breathed a sigh of relief - at least this policy was acceptable to the Sand Village.

Yu Xi turned and walked back to the main seat, her robes fluttering. "As for education, all ninja schools will be abolished. Children under the age of 18 must receive general education and patriotic education, learn scientific knowledge, and cultivate innovative abilities."

She glanced at everyone present, "Ninjutsu training will be classified as a physical education course and can only be formally studied after the age of 18."

She paused, a hint of red flashing in her golden eyes: "Regarding the bullying incident, for such incidents, I believe that the bully's entire family should be executed. In Wu Country, everyone is equal, there is no privileged class."

Mei Terumi finally couldn't help but ask, "Master Yuxi, what exactly do you mean by patriotic education..."

"It's very simple," Yu Xi smiled, but that smile made people shudder. "Loving the country means loving me. Those who insult the country and are unpatriotic will have their entire family's personal freedom permanently deprived, and no one will be allowed to hold public office within three generations."

Orochimaru suddenly interrupted: "In addition, Master Yuxi will go to the three holy places to reach an agreement. Myoboku Mountain, Ryuchi Cave, and Wet Bone Forest will open up to us the qualifications to practice immortal arts."

He gave Tsunade a meaningful look and said, "Of course, only the elite who have been strictly screened have this opportunity."

"Sister Yuxi is so scary..." Tsunade's hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't help thinking in her heart

"Finally," Yu Xi's voice suddenly softened, but the content was even more shocking, "the military strength of each ninja village will be reduced by 100%. All armed forces will be brought under the unified command of the central government."

She looked around and said, "If you have any opinions, you can raise them now - of course, you have to challenge me one-on-one."

There was deathly silence in the conference room.

It can easily destroy the existence of a ninja village.

Who dares to challenge alone?

Uchiha Madara suddenly chuckled: "It seems that everyone agrees with this arrangement."

Then, Yu Xi clapped her hands gently, and the crisp applause echoed in the silent conference hall.

As she moved, Danzo and Kabuto Yakushi slowly walked out of the shadows, followed by a group of Root members wearing animal masks.

Their appearance made the air suddenly tense, as if even breathing became cautious.

"I'll leave the propaganda work to you," Yu Xi's voice was as cold as ice. "Announce the birth of the Wu Kingdom to the entire ninja world. If there are rioters—" Her golden pupils shrank slightly, "they will all be executed. Cut off the roots and leave no future troubles."

Danzo swept his sinister eyes over everyone present, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "As you command, Master Yuxi."

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected a cold light.

He bowed slightly, his voice respectful yet imperceptibly calculating: "We will ensure that the news reaches every corner."

Yu Xi turned around. She stood on the high platform, looking down at everyone condescendingly: "All power in Wu State is decided by me."

Her voice left no room for doubt. "Of course, you can make suggestions, but only within the scope of promoting the development of the Wu Kingdom."

Her gaze slowly swept across the various Kage present, finally stopping at Uchiha Madara. "Also, the great families of the ninja world will no longer need to exist. They will be integrated with the common people, eliminating class differences."

Her tone was light, but it carried an unyielding authority. "If anyone disobeys—"

Uchiha Madara walked forward slowly, a flash of scarlet in his eyes: "Leave it to me."

His voice was low and dangerous, as if announcing an impending massacre.

The temperature in the conference room seemed to drop a few degrees, and even breathing became difficult.

Yu Xi nodded with satisfaction: "Then, from today on, the era of the Five Kingdoms officially ends, and the first year of the Wu Kingdom begins!"

The door of the conference room suddenly slid open silently, and the figures of Pain and Konan emerged like ghosts.

Pain's deep voice broke the frozen air: "Lord Yuxi, Uchiha Sasuke requests an audience."
