Back in the Mechanical Empire, Kisuke began to arrange personnel for the basic construction within the Empire. Before, the houses, roads, city walls, and so on in the Land of Waves were all very old and poorly designed.
Kisuke planned to tear down the old houses and city walls of the former Land of Waves and rebuild everything from scratch.
This technical construction would involve unified building across the entire Mechanical Empire, with standardized roads and tall buildings. Kisuke felt that the Land of Rain had done this best. In his previous life, people on forums said the Land of Rain was the most modern-looking city, indeed filled with skyscrapers and neon lights.
"Yamahai, you're in charge of all personnel deployment in the Mechanical Empire. Follow the blueprints to plan the construction teams' routes, and have them prepare to move into new houses."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Shirage, during this time, you will baptize the people of the Mechanical Empire. After baptism, each person will receive a free house. Remember not to cause chaos or disrupt the construction teams' progress."
"Yes, Master."
Kisuke finished speaking and sent the two to complete their tasks. For him, this situation was unlikely to cause trouble. Now, he needed to consider the report Zero brought.
Yamahai, the temporary head of the Logistics Department, full name Kumaki Yamahai, was the patriarch of the Kumaki clan, the third largest clan in the Mechanical Empire. They were behind the Feudal Lord's clan and the Tamaki clan. However, the Feudal Lord's clan only had one person left, and with the Feudal Lord's death, the clan also died out.
As for the Tamaki clan, Kisuke ordered them all killed. Kumaki Yamahai was also the first noble to pledge loyalty to Kisuke. Kisuke saw that the Kumaki clan had been rooted in the Mechanical Empire for a long time and still had some influence, so he decided to put the Kumaki clan in charge of the Mechanical Empire's basic construction.
Shirage, the head of the Security Department, full name Uzumaki Shirage, was originally a member of the Land of Whirlpools. After the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed by the three great ninja villages, he fled to the Land of Waves. Because the Land of Waves had no ninja, and no one understood the Uzumaki clan's unique body, he didn't suffer as much harm as Karin Uzumaki.
After seeing Kisuke recruiting talent, he recommended himself to the Feudal Lord's mansion. He noticed that when the Mechanical Empire's national personnel check discovered his identity, they weren't too surprised or eager. After realizing this, Shirage's approval of the Mechanical Empire greatly increased.
During the time after his recruitment, he also became the first person in the Land of Waves to voluntarily request baptism. After understanding the Mechanical Empire's strength, he became a staunch supporter of Mechanical Imperialism.
After Kisuke saw his resume and understood his actions during this period, he appointed him as the head of the Security Department.
The 1000 samurai led by Koga were transferred to Shirage's command. Shirage officially took over the Security Department, managing internal security within the Mechanical Empire. Those 1000 samurai were officially renamed the Imperial Security Guards, responsible for the internal security and order of the Mechanical Empire, similar to police in modern society.
The basic construction was left to these two. They would direct the Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers to build the Empire's infrastructure.
Kisuke, meanwhile, followed Yamahai to the underwater base. Under Yamahai's construction, the underwater base had already begun its initial completion.
In the Naruto world, for some unknown reason, the four great nations all coveted the Land of Fire's territory, and very few paid attention to the sea. This was Kisuke's opportunity. The resources underwater were no less than those on land, perhaps even more.
Following Yamahai's guidance, they arrived at a beach. On the beach stood something like a submarine. It was the submarine Kisuke had specially designed for building the underwater base. The submarine was 100 meters long and 8 meters wide. Because Kisuke specifically designed it for building the underwater base and for transporting personnel, the interior of the submarine was very spacious, purely for transporting people, with no offensive capabilities.
After Kisuke followed Yamahai into the submarine, the submarine quickly entered the ocean, heading towards the underwater base.
As soon as they entered the ocean, the shallow sea was a colorful world. Creatures bathed in the bright, warm seawater. Wonderful fish roamed among the vibrant coral reefs. Strange and lovely shellfish, starfish, jellyfish, and various colored seaweeds danced in the surging waves, forming a beautiful picture.
But as the submarine continued to descend, the underwater scenery grew darker. Under the submarine's lights, the surroundings were exceptionally dark, appearing quite terrifying.
Soon, the submarine reached a steel fortress. The steel fortress looked like an inverted bowl. The entire steel fortress was made of steel, perfectly sealed.
After the submarine entered the steel fortress, Kisuke and Yamahai disembarked and entered a long steel tunnel. After passing through this tunnel, they saw a place filled with steel ore and other large amounts of materials. This was the central area, where materials were waiting to be sorted and then stored separately.
The entire underwater steel fortress was built from excavated underwater mineral veins. They excavated underwater mineral veins, then built the underwater base, self-producing and self-consuming.
So far, Yamahai had discovered three large mineral veins, eight medium mineral veins, and fifteen small mineral veins underwater. Although only one steel fortress was completed, there were small outposts in various underwater locations for local resource exploration and transportation.
Under Kisuke's plan, ten steel fortresses and nearly a hundred small outposts were to be built underwater to mine steel and other resources. Actually, Kisuke mostly needed steel-type minerals, as manufacturing robot soldiers and other things mostly required steel.
"Yamahai, this steel base will be called 'Manami Base One' from now on."
"Yes, Master."
"Yamahai, how long will the entire underwater base project take to complete?"
"Master, if we maintain the current personnel, it will take about three months. As personnel increase, the time can gradually decrease."
Kisuke nodded and told Yamahai, "I will give you enough Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers. Complete the underwater base within one month, then build large factories underwater."
"Yes, Master, mission guaranteed."
After that, Yamahai took Kisuke on a tour of the steel base. The entire steel base was divided into five major areas: East, West, North, South, and the Central Grand Area.
The East, West, North, and South areas stored various materials. The Central Grand Area was the workplace for the Fully Automatic Robot Soldiers, where they built the framework of the steel base proportionally. When a new steel base needed to be built, they would simply link the frameworks at the construction site, which was very fast.
After touring the entire base, Kisuke took the submarine back to the Mechanical Empire. Upon returning to the Feudal Lord's mansion, Kisuke also received the intelligence and scrolls Zero had obtained from Orochimaru.
