# Chapter 1032: The Appointment of the Five Ministers of the Sea Ninja! (Added chapter for Alliance Leader Dream's Wing Feather)
"Tell me about it." Kurama grinned.
"Alright, your territory is located in the New World of the Grand Line, Onigashima near Wano Island. Of course, you can change the name, and the territory's rank is... High-Risk Area!"
As soon as Minister Molotov finished speaking, Shukaku's dissatisfied cry followed closely.
"What?!"
"Why is the territory of that stinky fox one rank higher than ours!"
However, the other Tailed Beasts, even Eight-Tails Gyuki, did not echo Shukaku's sentiment and remained silent.
Why? You're the only one who doesn't know better.
When the Sage of Six Paths created them back then, the distribution of chakra was unfair.
This led to an innate gap in chakra amount and strength. What could be done about it?
But this Shukaku was incredibly stubborn. Even after being beaten up so many times back then, he still refused to admit defeat, provoking Kurama again and again.
In the end, Kurama was too lazy to bother with him.
After all, they were all partners born at the same time. Could they really beat each other into oblivion?
As expected.
Kurama merely glanced at Shukaku with disdain, then looked at Minister Molotov: "The name Onigashima is indeed too rotten. Let's call it 'Nine-Tails Island' like them."
Minister Molotov's corner of mouth twitched when he heard this. He thought to himself, you absolutely must not let that Admiral Ryokugyu hear this, otherwise I'm afraid you won't last long in this world before disappearing between heaven and earth.
Although killing a tailed beast would result in being wanted by the Ministry of Police Affairs, this also depended on the person.
If an Admiral killed a tailed beast, at most they would be scolded a few times by the Fleet Admiral.
What else could be done?
To make things difficult for an admiral level combat power for a tailed beast that could be suppressed by two vice admirals acting together at most?
Even if the opponent was Nine-Tails, it wouldn't be any different.
And even if a tailed beast was defeated, it wasn't truly dead; it would naturally be reborn after a while, greatly reducing the severity.
Speaking of this Onigashima.
It was previously Kaido's private territory, but since the Beast Pirates disintegrated, plus he and King joined the Air Force Headquarters, Queen became a researcher at the Biochemical Research Institute, and Yamato went to the War Military Academy, the island has been in an abandoned state.
The people on Wano Island also didn't dare to trespass.
So the relevant department discussed buying Onigashima from Kaido.
Actually, in the past, the World Government wouldn't have spent money to buy it; they would have just taken it.
But not now. Kaido is, after all, an Air Force Headquarters admiral.
He's one of their own.
Moreover, he holds a high position and great power, so they must follow the rules.
Thus, they paid Kaido 500 million berry.
Now they were giving it to Kurama as his territory.
Actually, this decision wasn't something they came up with themselves.
The initial idea was to use a deserted island near the Sorbet Kingdom in the North Blue as the territory for Nine-Tails.
That is, the hometown of Director Bartholomew Kuma of the Public Security Department of the Ministry of Police Affairs.
But who knew that a phone call from above would overturn all of this.
Fortunately, they were already used to this kind of matter.
At this time, Kurama had already learned about the general environment of Onigashima through the virtual image in mid-air.
Although the giant skull looked very terrifying, and there was no vegetation on the island, making it look bare.
But this truly suited Kurama's will; he felt that his territory should be this terrifying!
"There is one more matter that Lord Kurama needs to take seriously."
As soon as Minister Molotov said this.
The other Tailed Beasts all thought to themselves, as expected.
They knew that Kurama's territory wouldn't be that simple.
"Above Wano Island, or rather, above Mount Fuji, there is a small sky island. This sky island is the territory of a Divine Dragon named Shen He from the Imperial Arms World, and it belongs to the Super-Risk Area."
Minister Molotov stopped speaking here.
But his meaning was already very clear; he was telling Nine-Tails not to cause trouble unnecessarily.
As expected.
Kurama had nothing to say when he heard the term Super Dangerous Beast.
After all, according to Minister Molotov.
The strength of these Super Dangerous Beasts is equivalent to that of the admirals.
But Kurama would not be content to stay like this forever.
He must find a method to make himself stronger!
"Besides that, I need to remind you that there is also an organization on Wano Island called Master Imperial Way, whose current Master is Jorakol Mihawk Saint."
Minister Molotov's tone suddenly became solemn.
"Celestial Dragons?"
Kurama's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes."
Minister Molotov nodded heavily.
"So you absolutely must not cause trouble on Wano Island, otherwise you will be responsible for consequences!"
Kurama was speechless.
How did he end up as a neighbor to such a terrifying existence?
He suddenly wished he could change locations...
"Alright, we've finished discussing everyone's territories. After signing the Summoning Contract with the Sea Ninja Village later, someone will send everyone to this world. We hope everyone can live comfortably in the new world and fully enjoy the precious freedom. It was a pleasure meeting everyone!"
Minister Molotov breathed a sigh of relief.
This meeting had finally come to an end.
From now on, the nine Tailed Beasts of the Ninja World officially join the World Government!
As for signing the Summoning Contract, this is so that when the World Government needs them, they can be summoned immediately. The contract will be overseen by the successive Sea Shadow of the Sea Ninja Village.
This means that only the Sea Shadow will be able to summon these tailed beasts in the future.
Hmm... People who had signed Summoning Contracts with the tailed beasts before should also be able to.
For example, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and Madara Uchiha, who summoned Nine-Tails.
After all, there is currently no method to unilaterally sever the contract.
At the same time.
In another meeting room.
Fukurokuju, as the First Sea Shadow, was hosting Ay, Jiraiya, Ōnoki, Rasa, Chiyo, Eiji Kazahana, Daichi Terumi, and other higher-ups from the ninja villages, along with Tengen Uzui.
The main content of the conversation naturally revolved around Ninja School establishment, Shinobi Sect establishment, and inviting them to join the Sea Ninja Village.
The first two matters were mostly settled; the focus was now on the latter.
"Below the Sea Shadow, Five Ministers will be established to jointly manage the various affairs of the Sea Ninja Village."
Fukurokuju sat on the platform facing the people from the Ninja World, reading from the draft paper prepared beforehand.
"Ay, the former Third Thunder Shadow of Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, will be the Thunder Minister, chief steward of the combat missions and related executing ninja during the Sea Ninja Village's external conquest."
Ay, sitting below the platform, smirked, clearly satisfied with this position.
"Rasa, the former Fourth Wind Shadow of Sunagakure, will be the Wind Minister, chief steward of all finance managers and business projects of the Sea Ninja Village."
Rasa's expression also relaxed. As expected, the first Ninja Village to submit would receive preferential treatment.
"Ōnoki, the former Third Earth Shadow of Stone Hidden, will be the Earth Minister, chief steward of all logistics support and basic construction of the Sea Ninja Village."
Fukurokuju's announcements continued; only his voice was heard in the entire meeting room.
Ōnoki had no opinion upon hearing this.
One of the Five Ministers, it wasn't shameful.
Moreover, he was old, and working in the rear was quite good.
"Masato Hyuga, the former Clan Leader of the Otsutsuki Moon Branch Clan, now the Clan Leader of the Hyuga Clan, will be the Water Minister, chief steward of the reconnaissance missions and related executing ninja during the Sea Ninja Village's external conquest."
However, Masato Hyuga was not present.
Because he was currently inspecting his new clan territory on Wano Island in this world.
But this didn't mean that no one present cared about the content of this appointment.
Eiji Kazahana, the former Third Water Shadow of Kirigakure, was seen frowning.
Because this order meant that he was very likely not one of the Five Ministers.
Actually, he could guess the reason...
"Finally, Uchiha Fugaku, the former Jonin of Konohagakure and Clan Leader of the Uchiha Clan, will be the Fire Minister, chief steward of the discipline assurance and guard duty within the Sea Ninja Village."
Of course, Uchiha Fugaku was also not present.
Meanwhile, Eiji Kazahana's expression turned ugly.
This was the price that needed to be paid for joining last and contributing little...
