"Lord Biwako, fortunately, the first batch of immigrants was brought back safely."

Haruno Mune jumped out of the carriage and ran a few steps in front of Lake Biwa, kneeling down on one knee to return to him.

The first batch of immigrants totalled 1,431, much less than the projected 3,000.

This is because the E7 area is already small in terms of people, coupled with the sharp decline in the number of residents in the perennial war, and the priority of orphan families in the village, so it is normal for the number of people to be smaller.

"It's good to come back safely, you didn't encounter any accidents along the way, right?"

"No, besides, Kaguya-sama's prestige is terrifying, I don't think anyone dares to provoke Konoha at this time!"

Everyone present laughed when they heard this, and their faces showed a look of course. Although there are many metaphors that are not humane.

However, Kaguya is famous for being fierce, and no one dares to provoke it, and a meteorite from the sky not only smashed the ridge of the rain ninja and turned Hanzo into ashes, but also made the other ninja villages frightened and frightened.

Now that the sand ninja is still licking their wounds silently, Yun Shinobi and Iwa Shinobi have all hit their brains, how dare they come to provoke Konoha at this time? It's too late!

In fact, after a while, the missions of the various ninja villages should almost come, on the one hand, to reconnoiter the reality of Konoha, and on the other hand, to sue for peace, hoping to maintain good diplomatic relations.

"The journey has been very smooth, thanks to the two Hokage-sama, one is famous and intimidating, and the other is leading the Uchiha clan to sweep away the thieves, clarify Unai, and revitalize the entire Fire Country!"

"If it weren't for these two adults, I'm afraid that there would be a lot of forks along the way, and it would be impossible to bring so many people back safely.

Lake Biwa smiled and helped Haruno to pick up, his face full of concern.

"Immigration policy is the cornerstone of Qianggen Peiyuan. Our two Hokages have been very thoughtful, and in order to strengthen Konoha and eliminate unnecessary disputes and wars, they decided to implement this policy."

"Rather than continuing this chaotic struggle like the Warring States period, the only way to end the strife between the five countries and unify the inside and outside is the right way."

"This kind of thinking and strength go hand in hand...... It reminded the old man of the first generation and Madara Uchiha, who originally had the idea of destroying war and protecting peace."

Biwako's eyes showed a look of remembrance, but he soon realized the inconsistencies, after all, the two adults did not end up peacefully, and comparing the four of them would inevitably mean malicious speculation.

Then he looked at the carriage behind him, and with just a glance, Lake Biwa saw a surprising red color.

The hair and back were so similar to the Uzumaki family in his memory. Kushina, who was taken care of in her old age, was often by Uzumaki Mito when she was a child, so Biwako firmly believed that her feelings would not be wrong.

I saw Nagato helping his mother out of the carriage, Nagato was thin, with a delicate face, with short red shoulder-length hair, and looked around a little timidly.

When Lake Biwa saw it, his heart softened, this child was so similar to Kusina who had just come to Konoha, they were all so frightened and full of vigilance about everything.

And as Lake Biwa's gaze moved, the figure of Wild Lily appeared in her field of vision. Her brilliant red hair reached her waist, and the moment she stepped out of the carriage, she instantly met the view of Lake Biwa.

….

The two of them were stunned almost at the same time, and a look of surprise appeared in their eyes.

"Is Sayuri you?"

Lake Biwa shouted in surprise, not by her Kana of the Land of Rain, nor by the name of Wild Yuri, but by Sayuri.

"Lake Biwa.... Auntie?"

Wild Lily looked at the old man in front of her in surprise, with an incredible expression on her face. Lake Biwa is her distant aunt, which also shows from the side that Lake Biwa really has a whirlpool bloodline.

Biwako married into the Sarutobi family, but she must have been born in Uzumaki and Thousand Hands, otherwise I can't tell why the two

The clan held her in such respect.

And now Wild Lily blurted out a sentence from her aunt, which just proves this. At the same time, it also explains why Kushina is so close to Lake Biwa.

"Sayuri!"

Lake Biwa looked at his niece who had "come back from the dead" in surprise, and his face was both surprised and a little incredible.

"Two years ago, the old man sent someone to the Uzumaki Country (the Uzumaki clan is not a ninja village, but a country) to find your whereabouts, but where are the ruins left, the old man still thinks that you are the same as the other clansmen........

Speaking of this, Lake Biwa sighed with a face full of ruddy eyes, and the whirlpool destroyed the country back then, in fact, Konoha was responsible, and the village was busy guarding the north at that time, and the eastern border could not draw manpower.

I wanted to wait for the situation to ease down a little before sending people to support, but I didn't expect that in such a short period of three months, the whirlpool would be wiped out!

By the time Konoha came to his senses, the country of Vortex had disappeared from history, and the men and horses sent had only found a ruin and countless corpse remains.

"Sayuri? Mother, didn't you say your name was Wild Lily?"

Nagato, who was standing next to his mother, asked genuinely in the open air. He vividly remembered that his mother told him that his name was Wild Lily.

Wild Lily looked at her relatives in front of her, her eyes were red, and she couldn't cry silently.

Wild Lily cried, "Wild Lily, Wild Lily, I am a lonely flower in the wild. Now that my country is ruined, my father is dead, and my mother is dead, where can I still call myself Sayuri, who is loved? Now, it's just a lonely ghost with nowhere to go."

"After the destruction of the country, I and more than a dozen compatriots broke out of the encirclement, eight dead and three wounded, and I fled to the land of rain alive, because I was afraid that the enemy would be hunted down and killed, so I lived incognito to this day..."

"Woooooooooo Aunt! We have no home, and our people are dead!"

Wild... Sayuri hugged Nagato and cried loudly, hoarse, full of resentment was released at this moment, and the people around her bowed their heads and looked sad.

"Hey...... At the beginning, Tuanzang prevented us from sending troops to the whirlpool because of the huge pressure on the border, and I thought that the crisis could be resolved by delaying and deterring, but I didn't expect the enemy to suddenly attack at this time."

Lake Biwa also cried with red eyes, she experienced the destruction of the whirlpool back then, and she personally commanded it.

But in any case, she never thought that just because of a moment of worry, it would cause such serious consequences.

If she had known this, even if she had turned her face with Tuan Zang on the spot and fought her old face to stop it, she would have asked the three generations to draw part of the eastern front to support the country of the vortex!

….

Now, it's too late to regret it!

"Sayuri, don't cry, you're not some lonely ghost with nowhere to go, Konoha is the second new home of the whirlpool."

Lake Biwa whispered comfort to his niece in his arms, his face full of sadness.

"Auntie... Can.... But I hate it!"

Sayuri cried silently, full of resentment, making her face hideous like a ghost, she didn't dare to talk about revenge before, she didn't really forget.

"Live Sayuri first, and there is hope when you live."

"Yes, Auntie."

Sayuri sobbed and nodded in agreement.

"But the child behind you is ......?"

Turning around, Sayuri pushed the Nagato behind her to her aunt, with tears on her face and a smile in her eyes introducing her child.

"It's my only son, young but flawlessly inherited the blood of the Uzumaki family. Auntie, please take care of me."

"His real name is Uzumaki Nagato!"

Biwako's eyes shrank when she heard this name, and she remembered that the fourth Hokage Kaguya had said that if she met a child named Nagato in the Land of Rain, she would bring it to him.

The fourth Hokage did not give a specific explanation, nor did he say why the child was special, but only emphasized that he must report directly to him after discovering it.

Originally, Lake Biwa didn't care too much about this matter, but now that she looked at her nephew in front of her, she was a little hesitant for a while, whether to hand him over to the fourth generation of fire

Shadow.

But after thinking about it carefully, it should be handed over or handed over, and Lake Biwa is very clear about the character of the four generations of Hokage, not only the other one of Hikalaya.

If you don't hide it, tell him directly, then everything is okay, if you deliberately hide it from him and expose it afterwards, then it is useless for you to say anything.

"Alright, I'll arrange for you to stay first. The four generations of Hokage have taken great care of the Uzumaki clan and allowed you to settle in the original Senju clan's clan land, and I will take you there myself later."

Sayuri wiped her tears and nodded gratefully.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

The little Nagato next to him suddenly shouted softly, which immediately caused a burst of pity in Lake Biwa, and he couldn't help but rub the other party's little brain.

This little guy, if nothing else, is quite pleasant.

…………

"Everyone, please line up in an orderly manner to register, and each family will receive a name tag and identification paperwork, and then you can eat here, and in the afternoon the immigration department will arrange your accommodation."

"Tomorrow morning, someone will come to test you, and after the test is completed, work will be arranged, and someone will explain the work for you!"

Under the arrangement of the immigration bureau, everyone began to queue up in an orderly manner, and families or orphans received identity documents as units.

Xiao Nan's family also lined up in order to lead the name tag and identity documents.

"Name?"

"Asuka Shizuka, Asuka Minami (Beauty)."

"Is it just the two of you?" The ninja in charge of registration glanced at the blue-haired mother and daughter in front of him.

The blue-haired mother was pale, thin, and coughed twice from time to time, looking not in good health.

The little girl was quite filial, and whenever her mother coughed, she would pat her mother on the back, and her face was full of worry.

"Just... Ahem... It's just the two of us. Her father, a tunnel repairman, fell ill three months ago and died on his bed."

….

"I'm sorry, but this is your identification."

Asuka Shizuka coughed twice, took the paperwork with both hands, and glanced at it. In addition to the simple identification information and number, it was found that there was a rank written on it."

"That's... Sorry ahem... Think, what does it mean to ask this level of citizenship?"

The registrar also saw that the mother and daughter were pitiful, and they would not have said it until tomorrow, but now the registrar told them in advance.

"This is a sign of the rank of citizens, the higher the rank, the higher the level of welfare, and vice versa, the lowest."

"The lowest grade of F is often the offender, and is to be sent to hard labor. Then there are the E-class such as prisoners of war, spies, these valuable sinners. They will be sentenced to prison, but they will be spared hard labor."

"Then there are D-class non-ninja immigrants who enjoy benefits such as residency rights, land allocation, and medical care. Complete 100 points every month, and you can upgrade after one year."

Enjoy all D-level benefits, as well as medical relief, education allowance, and living allowance."

"It also takes into account the natural responsibility of providing ninjas for the village, in fact, it is troublesome to say, it is good that one of the children you give birth to can become a ninja."

"Whether it's life ninja or combat ninja, it's all a contribution to the village."

"And regardless of whether your children are ninja qualifications or not, they can enjoy all the current benefits, but you have lost the basic requirements for promotion to B-rank citizens."

Through a series of explanations from the registrar, Shizuka seems to understand, and it seems that this village is still very friendly and kind to them.

Not only did they guarantee the welfare system, but there were also financial subsidies for medical care and education, and a big stone of Shizuka's psychology fell to the ground, which is much better than the living conditions in the Land of Rain.

For the village, although it was not a small amount of money to pay for the maintenance of these welfare systems, as the victorious nation of World War II, Konoha gained far more than it lost.

In addition, sooner or later, these people will contribute to the prosperity of Konoha, so today's investment is a hundredfold return tomorrow, so the proposal of the Immigration Bureau will be communicated by Konoha high-level

Pass.

"What is the B-class?"

"Ah, that's not a personal problem anymore, it's a whole family. When you are eligible to be promoted to B-rank, you will form a small clan with no less than five members and at least two or more ninjas."

"That's a prerequisite for getting to B. When you become B-level, you will not only get all the benefits you had before, but you will also receive a subsidy from your village.

"For example, entering the advanced training course of the military school for a special training period of six months."

"It's worth mentioning that all the locals of Konoha Village are treated as B-level by default, so if you want to enjoy the same treatment, then try to improve your rank."

"In addition, if you or your descendants have outstanding performance in the mission, you can also get B-class treatment."

Shizuka asked curiously, "What do you mean by your outstanding performance?"

"Decapitate ten enemies on the battlefield to upgrade to B-rank treatment, and the village will reward you according to your exploits."

"D-rank decapitate five people, and you can level up!"

"And the criminal's E and F will be incorporated into death squads during the war, and a spell will be implanted in their brains, and they will charge three times without dying, and 15 people will be decapitated."

At first glance, it didn't seem to be inappropriate, although she vaguely felt that something was weird, but Mute didn't think much about it now, and she was already grateful to Dade for being able to give her and her daughter a place to live.

"Very... Thanks, we get it."

smiled at the registrar, pale skin, sweet smile, with a hint of morbid beauty, but made the registrar stunned.

The benefits and treatment that Konoha gave them were beyond their expectations, or far beyond their imagination.

The rain ninja immigrants present originally thought that they and others came to Konoha Village to work as coolies, let alone a place to live, and it might be a luxury to be able to eat a full meal a day.

But after the registrar's explanation, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, their faces were no longer so stiff and nervous, and the tension in the air gradually disappeared.

"Next, then."
