Chapter 243 : New Era!

Kazuhiko's voice resonated...

"Long live Kazuhiko-sama!!"

The crowd erupted in cheers. Even though they were unfamiliar with the concept of the Red Republic, they understood the significance of a new government.

It symbolized a system unlike any other in the ninja world.

It meant that the Land of Whirlpools was stepping into an entirely new future.

They had long been disenchanted with the current system of one nation, one ninja village, prevalent in the war-torn ninja world.

A different future was precisely what they yearned for!

Even for those who didn't fully grasp the situation, witnessing the jubilation around them was infectious; after all, the cheering was contagious!

Observing the cheers from the crowd, a faint smile played on Kazuhiko's lips.

This speech might well be etched into the annals of history. It heralded the advent of the Land of Whirlpools and marked the establishment of the first Red regime in the ninja world!

Just as the paradigm of one nation, one village was instituted by the god of the ninja world, the ninja realm would now be forever changed - transformed!

Even if Kazuhiko were to falter, there was now an additional pathway for the future of the ninja world!

Kazuhiko's words continued, each resonating in the hearts of those present.

"In this regime, the ruler of this land is no longer the daimyo, nor the head of any clan, and not even myself!"

"The true ruler is each and every one of you present here. In the days to come, I envision us toiling together, engaging in various sectors within this land;"

"In the future, I see us toiling tirelessly, displaying diligence, and collectively striving to ensure the stability of this nation;"

"In the times ahead, I foresee us as industrious, working diligently together, leading the charge in advancing this nation;"

"In the coming years, we are one with you, you with us, embodying the people of the Land of Whirlpools, crafting the destiny of our land!!"

"Let's forge hope!! Let's shape our destiny!"

Kazuhiko seemed to sense something profound; he bellowed with all his might, elucidating the new regime to all.

This was a regime entirely unlike any other in the ninja world, this was the dawn of a new era!

Suddenly, the entire central square trembled as if responding to an unseen force. Every person, whether civilian or ninja, felt it—the ground beneath them quivered with a palpable energy. In unison, they erupted into the most incredible roar...

"Long live the Land of Whirlpools!"

"Long live the Red Republic!"

The air buzzed with the fervor of the crowd; their cheers resonated like thunder, drowning out even the faintest whispers of wind.

Above, the once serene sky was fractured by the collective passion, dispersing the tranquil clouds. Even the chill of the breeze faltered in the face of the overwhelming uproar.

In the midst of the throng, a fiery-haired young girl thrust her fist into the air, brimming with excitement.

She turned to her companion, another red-haired girl, and exclaimed, "He's amazing! So impressive!"

"Brother Kazuhiko is truly remarkable! Such charisma!" agreed the girl named Uzumaki Rieko, her cheeks flushed with enthusiasm.

Rieko was a newfound friend Kushina had made during this period—a prodigy discovered through the Land of Whirlpools' census. Blessed with a mystical ability, she possessed an extraordinary vitality, capable of accelerating healing by a mere touch.

It was Rieko who voluntarily disclosed her gift to the census elders, who, concerned for Kushina's safety during her tailed beast training, arranged for the two to bond. Despite being two years older and more composed, Rieko swiftly formed a close bond with Kushina.

Though equally excited, Rieko discreetly restrained Kushina's exuberance, whispering, "Kushina, calm down. This behavior isn't quite ladylike..."

"Haha!" Kushina chuckled carelessly, her gaze fixed on Kazuhiko atop the platform.

She continued to pump her fist energetically, undeterred. "Can't you feel it? Everyone's caught up in the moment! No one's paying attention to us! Ahh, Brother Kazuhiko!"

"Even if they're not watching, we should still be cautious..."

Rieko murmured softly, her eyes never leaving the figure in white dominating the central square.

In her eyes, that figure seemed to emanate a radiant glow, even more majestic and respectable than before!

Kazuhiko surveyed the crowd, all stirred to their core.

Indeed, everyone exhibited a high level of acceptance towards this new regime, be they ordinary civilians at the grassroots level or average ninjas.

In truth, they were all weary of the constant warfare plaguing the ninja world, and they vaguely sensed that something was amiss with the system established by the First Hokage, where each country had its own ninja village.

However, they hadn't found an alternative path until now, but a new path had finally presented itself.

Kazuhiko silently resolved to document everything that unfolded today. When the new era dawned, it would be meticulously recorded in history books. Today's events must stand the test of time!

As the cheers below gradually subsided, Kazuhiko's own excitement surged.

This marked the beginning of a new journey in the ninja world, heralding a future unlike any other!

Waiting for the crowd's emotions to settle, Kazuhiko addressed them once more.

"From this day forward, the Land of Whirlpools shall officially be known as the Red Republic, or simply, the Land of Red. Furthermore, we shall establish the Central Government, the Department of Finance, the Department of Culture and Education, the Law Enforcement Bureau, and the Department of Scientific Research..."
