The First Shinobi War in the Land of Water shook the Shinobi World.

When the news spread throughout the Shinobi World, the major ninja villages initially refused to believe it, but the most powerful ninja villages fell silent.

After all, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju are not from a distant past, and with the intelligence-gathering capabilities of the ninja villages, it's still possible to collect information about them.

At first, when they saw this information, they felt it was a joke. Was this really not a story?

After all, exaggerating the achievements of deceased heroes and ancestors is a long-standing tradition.

However, after news of the battle in the Land of Water spread, it became clear to all the major ninja villages that this was not a story, but a real force in the Shinobi World.

One man single-handedly defeated tens of thousands of ninjas—this is not a legend, but a true feat.

The overwhelming Ninjutsu unleashed by one person turned the Tailed Beast, considered calamities and deterrents in the Shinobi World, into mere domesticated dogs being trampled upon in the hands of the opponent.

The Land of Water has fallen; it fell in First Shinobi War.

Following the death of the Fourth Mizukage, internal Mist Ninja broke out within Kirigakure, led by Genji, and Kirigakure, Five Great Ninja Villages in the Shinobi World, announced its complete merger with Konoha.

Iwagakure)

The Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, stared at the intelligence report in his hand, his face so dark it seemed to drip water.

"Lord Third Tsuchikage, this is a handwritten letter from the battlefield of Mist Ninja, the God of Night."

God of Night! That is Uchiha Yoru's current title.

Like the title of Half-God Hanzō, the Shinobi World loves to give all sorts of strange titles to the strong.

"Letter?"

Ōnoki was somewhat angry. He had initially thought it was another threatening letter like the one from Madara Uchiha had sent before, but the contents of the letter shocked him greatly.

The letter revealed that the Fourth Mizukage did not die, but was taken away by a mysterious person using Space-Time Ninjutsu, and the Three-Tails did not fall into his hands.

Furthermore, the information about the mysterious figure clearly indicates that he was the ninja who assassinated the person after the last Five Kage Summit.

A terrifying Masked Ninja possessing the Mangekyou Mangekyo and Wood Release, who seems to have inherited Madara Uchiha's will, has been secretly plotting a conspiracy in the Shinobi World.

Their strength is extremely formidable.

"Another Mangekyo and Wood Release?"

Ōnoki's eyes widened as he looked at the intelligence report, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Did this guy really mess with the Uchiha and Senju? The trouble just keeps getting worse.

But then, as if struck by a sudden thought, a sinister smile appeared on Ōnoki's face.

"A powerful enemy lurking in the shadows? Isn't that perfect for keeping this self-proclaimed god in check?"

"Where are you? Relay my orders: secretly investigate the ninja in the Shinobi World who wears a masked One-Eyed Dragon Masked Ninja. Here is his portrait."

Despite this, Ōnoki remained suspicious and dispatched ninjas to secretly investigate.

Not only the Tsuchikage, Uchiha Yoru also wrote letters to the Kazekage and Raikage this time. At the same time, he joined forces with Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage Mist Ninja, and the Genji Mist Ninja to announce this to the Shinobi World.

The first piece of news was that Mist Ninja and Konoha had merged. Although Mist Ninja would continue to exist, they would be ruled by the God of Night.

The second piece of news was about a conspiracy within the Bloody Mist of Kirigakure, and this news was quite explosive.

The news spread throughout the Shinobi World that the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure was being controlled, and that a Shinobi World force was secretly plotting something.

The enemy possesses the Mangekyo and Wood Release, and is suspected to be a successor of Madara Uchiha.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Mizukage was taken away by this enemy at the very end of the battle.

Amid the sensation caused by this news, there was also much skepticism, with many suspecting it was Smoke Bomb orchestrated by Konoha and Mist Ninja to mislead the Shinobi World.

But none of that matters anymore. The smaller ninja villages don't have the strength, and the two major ninja villages, Konoha and Mist Ninja, wouldn't bother explaining themselves to these smaller villages.

The offices of the major ninja villages already contain portraits of Uchiha Obito a mask, information on Space-Time Ninjutsu, and locations where he was suspected of having been there.

Given the intelligence capabilities of ninjas, it's impossible for Uchiha Obito without any clues, especially since the entire Shinobi World was investigating him this time.

Some might secretly believe that someone was restraining him, but wasn't Uchiha Yoru also secretly plotting something?

It would be very difficult to launch a war now to unify the Shinobi World and unite the two major ninja villages, Konoha and Mist Ninja.

One issue is that Kirigakure will need at least three to five years to process what happened, given the recent major battle. The other issue is Uchiha Yoru's growing power; his current status surpasses that of the Daimyo.

The daimyo of the Land of Water and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire are already wary of him. Now, Uchiha Yoru needs to consolidate his power and stabilize his internal affairs, allowing Konoha and Mist Ninja to better adapt and integrate. At the same time, he needs to resolve all the internal troubles within his territory.

The Mist Ninja has fallen, ushering in the era of the Fifth Mizukage under the rule of the God of Night.

Mei Terumi swiftly suppressed the troublemakers and began abolishing various irregularities within the village, while Uchiha Yoru had already returned to Konoha.

Time has passed, and two months have gone by since the Land of Water was incorporated into the territory.

Konoha, Hokage Office Building.

Meeting Room, Uchiha Yoru gazed at the Hokage Rock and said quietly, "If a war breaks out at this time, Obito won't just stand by and watch, and neither will the one who's been hiding the deepest."

Although he is powerful now, he is not invincible. If pushed too far, he can summon the Konoha's Dancing King, who is Madara Uchiha, even more powerful than when he opened the Rinnegan at the Valley of the End.

He needs time, not to mention the so-called Sage of Six Paths.

However, just as Uchiha Yoru was deep in thought, the meeting room door was pushed open, and one after another, renowned ninjas from the Shinobi World walked in.

Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy Yūhi Kurenai, Mitarashi Anko, and many more—almost all of Konoha's top-tier, trusted Jonin Jōnin present.

Meanwhile, the Mist Ninja side also had elite ninjas such as Kisame Hoshigaki, Zabuza Momochi, Ringo Ameyuri, and Juzo Biwa all join the fray.

This time, there were three chairs. Uchiha Yoru sat in the middle, with the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi and the Fifth Hokage Tsunade on either side.

"Oh ho, it seems everyone has arrived."

Just then, Jiraiya's hearty voice rang out, along with the Genma Squad Shiranui Genma, Tatami Iwashi, Namiashi Raidō Deivashi.

However, the three of them were clearly pale at this moment. Their formation indicated that they had been teleported back using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Lord Yoru, I have not failed you."

The three looked pale and exhausted, which amused Uchiha Yoru, who nodded and said, "It seems your strength still needs improvement. Even with the Katsuyu's recovery, you're still so weak."

Haha~

Laughter immediately filled the Meeting Room, and even the usually stern-faced Mist Ninja broke into smiles.

The three members of the Genma Squad exchanged wry smiles. It wasn't that they were weak; not only had they teleported so many times, but the Chakra Slug could replenish it, but their mental energy needed to be restored on their own.

Jiraiya laughed heartily and casually, but when he looked around at the ninjas in the Meeting Room, even he was secretly shocked. This power had already surpassed that of Konoha at its peak.

Even!

Thinking of this, Jiraiya glanced at the three people on the three chairs, and when he saw Uchiha Yoru and Tsunade, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It's likely that before long, the powerful forces of the First Hokage at his peak and Madara Uchiha will appear.

This really is going to surpass the peak in Konoha's history. After all, this is the union of the Senju and Uchiha. If they have a few children, what will happen in the future?

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru coughed lightly, and everyone's expressions immediately turned solemn. Now that Konoha and Mist Ninja were fully integrated, they knew that this meeting concerned the future of both villages, and even the future of the Shinobi World.

"Everyone, the Land of Water and the Land of Fire have begun to fully integrate, but some problems will still arise. The common people are relatively easy to deal with, but the hatred between ninjas has always existed."

"For example, the hatred within Kirigakure itself, the hatred Kekkei Genkai ninjas and ordinary ninjas, regardless of the reasons, caused by the Bloody Mist Policy, has persisted for many years and cannot be changed overnight."

"There's also the ninja hatred between Konoha and Mist Ninja, and so on—all of these could become tools for the enemy to launch covert attacks."

Looking around at everyone, Uchiha Yoru solemnly raised a rather realistic question: peace and integration are not as simple as just saying it.

As for Naruto Uzumaki being able to create temporary peace, it was because he encountered an even more powerful external force during the Fourth Shinobi War. If they didn't put aside their prejudices and join forces, they would die, and even their own family and friends in the Shinobi World would die. That's why the Ninja Alliance were formed.

"I have several policies in mind."

Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, and some of the bewildered ones who didn't know how to solve the problem, Uchiha Yoru shook his head with a wry smile. If most ninjas were purely ninja-minded, this would be far too difficult for them.

"My belief in the supremacy of ninjas is not out of personal bias, but based on sound reasoning. Ninjas possess immense power, and it is inherently unfair to treat them as equals to ordinary civilians."

Seeing that Jiraiya seemed about to object, Uchiha Yoru said in a deep voice, "Take the rich and the poor, for example. Do you think the rich would distribute their wealth to the poor to achieve a fair distribution of wealth?"

"It's like, as fellow ninjas, would you be willing to pass on your Ninjutsu, or even secret techniques, to ordinary ninjas?"

When Uchiha Yoru said this, he stared directly at Jiraiya opened his mouth twice, looking embarrassed, and scratched his head, remaining silent for a moment.

Would he teach Ninjutsu to ordinary ninjas? No, it's almost purely instinctive for him.

"Therefore, I hereby order all Kekkei Genkai Kirigakure to relocate to Konoha, using Konoha as their base. Kirigakure itself will remain, and I will then arrange for Konoha's medical and educational ninjas to join our Mist Ninja comrades in maintaining order in Mist Ninja."

"At the same time, ninjas who have reached the Jōnin level can move their entire families as long as they pass the review. Similarly, ninjas from Konoha can also move to Mist Ninja."

"The Mist Ninja and the Konoha need to unite, and even more so, they need peace. This is the precursor to future peace in the Shinobi World. I hope you will cooperate with me to accomplish this great ambition."

Uchiha Yoru practically declared that his future goal was to unify the Shinobi World. Everyone understood, some were excited, and some were worried.

"At the same time, I've decided to have the Mist Ninja and the Konoha Anbu exchange intelligence, and to first relocate ninjas with grudges to different places in all directions to carry out missions, so that they almost never see each other again, and even separate their mission times if possible."

"Time can heal all wounds." As he said this, Uchiha Yoru looked at the mostly bewildered eyes of the crowd and sighed helplessly as he explained.

"When the Uchiha and Senju clans joined forces to establish Konoha, all the other ninja clans that joined the Konoha family harbored hatred towards each other. However, they suppressed it under the pressure of overwhelming power. Then, peace attracted them, causing them to suppress their hatred for the sake of their descendants."

"Finally, there is time. As time goes by, the hatred gradually fades when facing a common enemy, until the hatred of the previous generation is buried with them in the Kitsuchi, and that's how we have the peaceful Konoha we have today."

When Uchiha Yoru said these words, he was almost directly addressing Jiraiya, while also telling everyone that his ambition was not empty.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui's eyes grew even more fervent, while Uchiha Itachi beside him revealed a resolute expression.

"Teacher Yoru is great. This is the path our predecessors walked. You can see the whole Konoha from a single spot. If Konoha can do this, what about the entire Shinobi World? The bloodshed of this era will be wiped away with the hatred of the next."

Peace!

Uchiha Yoru's ambitions all revolved around peace, as he told everyone. Throughout the original work, almost all the powerful ninjas had suffered from the damage caused by war, so they hated war, and peace has always been the pursuit of everyone.

Uchiha Yoru has now blatantly pointed out a clear path, and they even have the ability to make it happen.

"Once the Mist Ninja Land of Water stabilizes, the first step will be a peaceful integration between the Mist Ninja and the Konoha Anbu. This integration involves information sharing, and suitable Konoha ninjas can join Mist Ninja Anbu, and vice versa. Simultaneously, for missions between the two villages, we'll first identify some easy-going ninjas and have them work together."

"Subtly and gradually, in the future, the ninjas of Mist Ninja and Konoha Ninja will shake hands and make peace, becoming one family, just like when the five great villages were first established."

"The second step is for Mist Ninja and Konoha to exchange volunteer teachers and students, prioritizing orphans, but setting the age limit at seven. These teachers and students will receive preferential treatment and rewards, such as being assigned stronger ninjas after graduating from the Ninja Academy, like Special Jonin or even Jōnin."

"The third step is to prohibit all speech and rumors that undermine the peaceful coexistence between Konoha and Mist Ninja, and to prevent the spread of stories about camaraderie among comrades from the two villages on missions together, or even love stories resulting from intermarriage..."

"Fourthly, Konoha will also implement the true principle of ninja supremacy, instead of the previous vague concept. At the same time, the Ninja Academy will instill from a young age the idea that the ninja's powerful strength is for the purpose of protecting their homeland and civilians, rather than the previous idea that ninjas are merely tools."

"Fifth..."

After Uchiha Yoru explained his decisions, Tsunade and Mei Terumi's eyes shone with emotion, but even more so with heartache.

In their eyes, Uchiha Yoru probably had a firm belief in peace when he was a teenager, and he took action, even facing reality and planning his future policies early on.

Because these are not things that can be figured out overnight.

Jiraiya was secretly shocked, and even a look of disappointed admiration appeared on his face. What he admired was that this kid had a dream, and not only did he take action and work hard, but he also referred to the various experiences of his predecessors.

Even his ideal of peace is hollow; he has been searching for peace aimlessly and has yet to find it, so he can only place his hopes for peace on the chosen one.

Uchiha Yoru's peace philosophy, however, evolved from being empty at the beginning to being constantly enriched. He summarized his experiences from past history and events, and then developed his own peace philosophy.

Uchiha Yoru made real efforts and took action, unlike Naruto Uzumaki only talked the talk and talked the walk, spouting empty peace concepts.
