The Akatsuki Organization's all-out declaration of war against Konoha had indeed caused considerable turmoil throughout the Ninja World. Although conflicts of various sizes had continued during this period, they had only involved a small portion of it.
Overall, the Ninja World was still broadly moving toward peaceful development.
The ultimate purpose of war was nothing more than better development, and the Daimyos of every country understood this. Therefore, war would certainly still be waged, but for now, they all shared an unspoken understanding: develop first.
