Chapter 1505 Reunion
The third prince was obviously very excited, as he had been waiting for this day for too long.
The more he looked at the decadent state of the Whirlpool Country, the more he hated himself.
Why am I so incompetent? Not only can I not develop the country, but I even have trouble maintaining what I have.
It was also his fault that he cared too much about brotherhood, but he didn't expect that some brothers didn't care about it at all.
He only cares about his own interests and how to bring himself down.
"Your country of Whirlpool is very lively here. I even wonder if the world hates you and wants to destroy your country."
If someone else had said it, the Third Prince might have scoffed at it, but coming from the mouth of Qufeng, a Six Paths-level ninja, it made the Third Prince more speculative.
"Is it really so? The whole ninja world hates the Whirlpool Country."
Qu Feng waved his hand: "I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."
"Your son has worked so hard for so long, he must want to change the Whirlpool Country for the better."
"Besides, even if the ninja world dislikes the Whirlpool Country, so what? It's fine as long as I don't dislike it."
These words made the third prince a little confused. He could hear from Qufeng's words that he admired Lan.
"Your son is a smart man, much better than you. You should be thankful for giving birth to such a son."
The third prince scratched his head, not knowing how to respond.
At this moment, Zhili, Lan and others also entered the office and lifted the breath-suppressing spell.
The moment the third prince saw Lan, his eyes instantly turned red.
"Lan, you're back!"
Lan couldn't help but get excited at this moment, he rushed forward and hugged his father.
"Father, I have returned after completing my studies. I now have the confidence to make the Whirlpool Country a better place!"
The third prince kept patting Lan's shoulders and said, "Okay, good boy, the future of the Whirlpool Country depends on you. Your father is not a qualified daimyo, but fortunately, the country still has you to save it."
Lan did think that his father was not a good daimyo, but he was not a daimyo who did not work hard.
He has tried hard for the country and the people, but his ability is limited and no matter how hard he tries, it won't make much difference.
"This must be Lord Zhili. I haven't seen you for decades, but you are still as charming as ever."
Zhili looked at the third prince. The third prince was now over seventy years old and had been exposed to the sea breeze all year round, making him look even older.
This made her even more emotional: "After so many years of separation, the Third Prince has actually become so old."
"Haha, isn't that what an ordinary person's life is like? Birth, aging, sickness and death are part of human nature."
"And the two adults are not ordinary people. We naturally cannot compare with them."
Zhili sighed, "Things have changed, how are the eldest prince and his friends now?"
The third prince was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhili to ask this.
"Big brother is fine. After that incident, he gave up all power struggles and built a small villa far away from the Uzushiogakure Village to live a secluded life."
"Is that so? That's not bad."
Then the third prince spoke again: "My second brother has no interest in power either. He has devoted his life to compiling the history of the Whirlpool Country and managing the education of the citizens."
"It's just that because of the country's previous mismanagement, all citizens fell into a very depressed mood and no longer paid attention to education. This made my second brother very worried and he always discussed solutions with me."
In Lan's impression, among these uncles, only the second uncle is the most useful to the country, and he is a talented one.
"My second brother is almost eighty this year. The average life expectancy of the people of Whirlpool Country is around sixty to seventy. My second brother is far above the average, but his health has been failing recently. I don't know if he can hold on until the day when Arashi heals Whirlpool Country."
After hearing this, Qu Feng said to Lan: "Don't let other things disrupt your rhythm. Birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable. If you are too anxious, you may lose all your efforts."
Lan immediately responded after hearing this: "I understand this. I will follow my own pace to gradually govern the Kingdom of Uzuki and will not be affected by others."
The third prince realized at this time that he seemed to have said something not very nice, and quickly shut up.
Then, Qufeng took out a stack of documents from under the desk and handed them to Lan.
"Take a look. This is what I found out when I was helping you manage the country. Your uncles were basically all involved in various kinds of corruption. They even supported many of the 'nobles'."
"The purpose is to bring you down so that I can take over your position legitimately."
Lan was very angry, and then began to quickly flip through the documents, which made him angrier the more he read.
"The Whirlpool Country is our common home! We are all one family, why are you doing this! Are you destroying the Whirlpool Country that grandpa left behind just to satisfy your own desire for power?"
The third prince sighed: "In the final analysis, it's all for the sake of satisfying greed. I won't indulge them this time. If you want to do something, just go ahead and do it."
It can be seen from the scene when the Third Prince returns from Lan that he must have something big to do.
And he is not as stupid as he was before, and he will not give up this country for the sake of love!
"Father, the Whirlpool Country will be conducting a major purge this time. I hope you won't speak up to stop it. But even if you speak up, I won't listen. Everything must proceed according to my plan."
At this moment, Lan finally had some sense of being a famous figure in Qufeng's eyes.
When the third prince saw how much his son had changed, he was very surprised at first.
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Lan continued, "If the uncles refuse to change, I will kill them all."
As soon as these words came out, the third prince's eyes widened immediately: "This! How can this be possible? At most, it is just imprisonment, not killing. Permanent imprisonment is the same!"
Before the third prince could say anything else, Lan took out the handwritten letter his grandfather left for him.
"These are the confession letters that Grandpa gave to several uncles. After reading this letter, if they still intend to fight, then I will definitely kill them. If they repent, they will be imprisoned forever along with their families."
The third prince took the letter and saw that it was indeed written by his father. Tears welled up in his eyes unconsciously.
The content of the letter was not particularly different from what Lan said, and there were also some words left for him.
It mainly says that Ashina is very disappointed in him and hopes that he will stop foolishly interfering with Arashi's actions, as he is no longer the Daimyo of the Whirlpool Country.
