Following the dancers and musicians, Ichika and the others arrived in front of the temporarily built platform. The platform surroundings were heavily guarded by Kuro, the 12 clan heads and the imperial soldiers. The 12 clan heads were even more serious today, compared to the past. Good or bad, they are seriously afraid of Ichika, with the way she takes her decisions. As she was always stern faced during the court meetings, there was little they could learn about her character.But there was no doubt in their hearts, that today's rise of the Human Empire was entirely attributed to the efforts of Empress Ichika. If it wasn't for her financial aid and powerful cultivation, it would take another two to three hundred million years, before it reached it's current state.
But Empress Ichika was only a junior member of her family and today her parents and ancestors are also arriving at Eden. Empress Ichika was already so strong, so the senior members of her family will be definitely stronger than her. Empress Ichika may be good person, but it can't be said to be the same with her remaining family members.
Few minutes before they also clearly witnessed how Manu took down millions of cultivators with a simple attack, even with their paragon level cultivation they can't see how his attack was executed. There is no doubt in their hearts, this is one of the ancestors of the Royal family, with a strong cultivation prowess. As first impression is the best impression, they want to present themselves well according to their status.
The seatings on the platform were divided in a way, that it clearly showed the power distribution and seniority in the Uchiha family. The seatings were divided into 4 rows. First and the highest row was reserved for the 3 avatars, Kaguya and Serafina. Manu was in the middle, with Gundahar and E'lara to his right and left. While Kaguya sat besides Gundahar and Serafina besides E'Lara.
Fugaku, Mikoto, Haru, Ichika, Zetsu, Shisui, Itachi and Kin are seated in the second row with Fugaku and Mikoto in the middle. Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Kanna, Izumi and Sarada are seated in the third row, while the remaining 3 Uchiha followers are seated at the bottom 4th row.
As the seating pattern is same in other families, it didn't take long for the reporters and crowd to figure out the hierarchy in the Royal family. Because of the earlier display from Manu, no one dared to use their soul sense to figure out the personal cultivation strength of the royal family members.
After taking their positions on the platform, Ichika stood up from her seat and moved towards the edge of the platform, amplifying her voice with energy, she started to introduce each and every member of the Uchiha family, starting with the 3 followers. Mayumi, Miyu and Teiko
The 3 followers are members from the branch family, the mother is called Mayumi Uchiha, while her son and daughter are called Teiko and Miyu Uchiha. Of all the Uchiha family members, these 3 are the one who decided to follow the main Uchiha family and made the wise decision to follow Ichika. They already swore to follow the main family to the end and Ichika also promised to treat them well.It is only after spending time with Ichika in the Palace and arriving on Monster world, did they realize how fortunate they were. Comparing the fortune of the Uchiha family on both Kaguya world and monster world, it is like comparing a glass of water to an entire ocean.
During their stay in the palace, Ichika already told them about how she built an Empire on Monster world and what are they going to face in the future. At first they only thought it would be a small Empire, with population numbering in millions. Only now did they clearly understand what does an Empire mean, as soon as they stepped in Eden, they could see how rich and grand Eden city is. On their way itself, they could see millions of citizens waving at them and following their every move.
"These 3 are the loyal followers of our family for generations, they are also personal aides of my parents."- Ichika
It may be simple introduction on Kaguya world, but on this world, being a personal aide carries heavy responsibilities. They are like physical representation of their own master's will, unless the master decides, every kind of business should first pass through their inspection. Only those who are extremely loyal and capable are chosen as aides.
With the 3 of them declared as aides to Empress Ichika own parents, their status is similar to that of the Empire's own ministers. They will be first target of all the influential people on this world, to get in touch with the Royal Family members.
Next Ichika called out for Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. As the former leader of Konohagakure Naruto was already used to large crowd gatherings, but even then, he can't help but feel nervous when millions of eyes came to rest on him. The same for Sasuke and Sakura, as the scions of Uchiha clan, they also have enough experience dealing with thousands of people at the same time.But compared to those on Kaguya world, they could clearly sense worship, respect and jealousy from the crowd.
She introduced naruto as her own younger cousin, Sasuke as her own younger brother and Sakura as his wife.
"These 3 are not only my family members, but they are also my students. From today their position will be that of princes and princess of the Empire. Because of their young age, they will not participate in the matters of the Empire and will continue their training under my guidance.
Princess Sakura is gifted when it comes to medicine. With her as the centre, a special bureau of Health and Medicine will be created in the future.The goal of this bureau is to make sure that all the citizens of our Empire remain healthy and strong.
After the Event is finished, with her as teacher, special classes and training sessions will be conducted on weekend days. So people who are interested in medicine can join these classes. Details and structure of the seats allotment will be released in 2 weeks time."- Ichika
Most of them wanted to ignore Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, when Ichika announced them as princes and princess without any power. But when Ichika revealed that she is their teacher in the past and will continue to train them in the future, their status immediately skyrocketed in the hearts of all the people. With Empress Ichika personally training them, it only means she has high expectations of them in the future. They may be young at the moment, but what happens when they mature in the future? Being the disciples of Empress Ichika and members of the royal family, they will become pillars of the Empire.
But when Ichika announced about special bureau of Health and Medicine, it received huge applause from the crowd. Crown Prince Kin once revealed to the world, that his mother is the best doctor in the world, she also did her best in increasing the number of hospitals and encouraged number of doctors. But comparing the population ratio to the number of doctors, there is huge gulf between them, sadly very few of them are top doctors, while more than 90% of them are only fit to treat mortals.
Now with the announcement of Princess Sakura at the head of this special Bureau, the number of doctors and their efficiency will also increase by a lot. With a member of the Royal family involved, most of the doctors who went into seclusion will also start appearing from now on, as there won't be any short of resources.
Sakura already knew about this, but she was afraid that her current knowledge is not enough to treat high level cultivators. That is why Ichika informed that this Bureau will begin its work after the Event. During this time, Ichika will have enough time to train Sakura to one of the elite doctors in this cultivation world.
After that she introduced Kanna and Izumi as wives of Shisui and Itachi.
"Kanna and Izumi will be ranked as Princess from now on, they will be personally trained by Prince Shisui and Prince Itachi. After finishing training, they will continue assisting their own husbands with their assigned duties"- Ichika
Ichika wanted to assign them more duties, but they refused her offer and instead preferred to help their husband with their work.
Next she called out for Sarada, who became completely nervous after witnessing today's events. She heard a lot of stories about her aunt Ichika from the citizens of Kaguya world and her own family members. Every time she heard those stories, she felt those stories were exaggerated a bit, but it all changed after she personally came to take them to Monster World.
When she arrived in the Palace, she can't help but feel she was staying in slums all this time. She was completely lost and fell short of words to describe the beauty of the palace.
As she was bored, her aunt brought to her various pets to play with. These pets are not only cute but are incredibly strong. But they still played happily with her fearing Ichika's punishment, if they make her sad. Of all the pets, she took a particular liking to a black dog named Angila, who became quick friends with her and obeyed all of her commands. Even if it looks like a dog, she was shocked to learn that it was sovereign ruler level monster, it took a lot of courage from her to play with it again.
Sarada slowly approached Ichika without showing any expressions on the outside, which earned approval from Ichika and the others. No matter how nervous you are, it is wise to appear calm on the outside,this will help you gain advantages in unexpected situations.
"This is my niece Sarada, her status is also that of princess. She is the first of her generation, hence she will be treated as the leader of her generation. She will continue her studies under Jean Silverstone."- Ichika
**************************************
Author's Note: Sorry for the late release, as I had to stay for few extra hours in office. Angila is the Black ShucK, Ichika captured on Atala. Because he fears Ichika and wants to get on her good side, he decided to accept being play mate of Sarada. I missed a lot of P.O.V chapters in the recent times, so I will try to work on some important characters and patch any loop holes I left. Enjoy the read and please keep voting.
