How Can a Country Have Two Voices?
Meeting Room.
The ninja from both the Mist Ninja and the Konoha Village blushed with excitement as they listened.
Kakashi secretly admired Yoru, realizing that his choice was indeed correct; Yoru was truly a legendary figure capable of rewriting Konoha's history and the history of the Shinobi World.
"All of the above is for the sake of peace between Konoha and Mist Ninja. These things will take time to prove, so please work together with me. Let's aim for eight years. I think we can see initial results in five years, and in eight years, we will be one family."
Any integration takes time, and time can heal all wounds.
Uchiha Yoru gazed at everyone with a resolute expression, and finally said in a deep voice, "At the same time, I have decided to establish the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, an elite ninja force dedicated to protecting the Shinobi World."
"The Thirteenth Squad are divided into: the First Squad, which commands and issues missions; the Second Squad, which assassinates and gathers intelligence; the Third Squad, which provides emergency backup and support to other divisions; the Fourth Squad Fifth Squad, which is responsible for rescue operations..."
Uchiha Yoru slowly began to explain the details of the Thirteenth Squad. Upon hearing this, Kakashi frowned, scratched his white hair, and asked in confusion.
"Lord Yoru, the founders of the Thirteenth Squad were almost entirely elites, and they encompassed almost every aspect of the two major ninja villages."
Seeing Kakashi's puzzled look, Uchiha Yoru smiled and said, "Kakashi, you're right, but did I say that the Thirteenth Squad would be formed in the next year or two?"
A single sentence stunned everyone. Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Once the Thirteenth Squad is fully established, ordinary members will need to be at least at the Elite Chunin level, Special Jonin and Jōnin may compete for the designated squad leader positions."
"For now, only those who have reached at least the Elite Jonin are eligible to run for Vice-Captain. As for Captain... there will be no Captain at the Kage Level!"
Boom!
After Uchiha Yoru said this, everyone was shocked, and then became even more enthusiastic. Uchiha Yoru's words almost meant that once the Thirteenth Squad were fully established, the Shinobi World would probably be unified by then.
Even a vice-captain needs to be at least Elite Jonin to qualify. Keep in mind that this is just a qualification; the final qualification is much higher. In other words, a vice-captain is very likely to need to be Kage Level.
As for the captain, needless to say, he doesn't have Kage Level strength and would rather keep the title of captain in vain.
"There's no rush. I plan to establish the First Squad, Second Squad, Third Squad Fourth Squad, and Fifth Squad within five years, with personnel selected from the two major ninja villages."
"Now, for the sake of the future..."
Finally Uchiha Yoru stood up and solemnly surveyed the crowd, who in unison shouted, "For peace!"
Jiraiya stared blankly at this scene. Good heavens, what is this? Brainwashing? It feels like something from Root.
As the meeting ended, Shiranui Genma, Tatami Iwashi, Namiashi Raidō Iwashi all turned green with fear, staring weakly at Uchiha Yoru.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Yoru burst into laughter. "Alright, no rush. It's rare for everyone to come back, and arrangements have been made for everyone in the border region, so I'll give you all two days off."
"But only two days! I have to be back at my post in two days."
Upon hearing this, Shiranui Genma, Tatami Iwashi, Namiashi Raidō a sigh of relief. The Flying Thunder God Array Technique had turned them into a teleportation array, leaving them utterly devastated.
"Night. Kirigakure cannot afford to delay any longer. I must stabilize Kirigakure as quickly as possible."
Everyone else was fine, but Mei Terumi's gaze was firm at this moment, and Uchiha Yoru.
"Okay, I'll take you there myself."
The entire Shinobi World fell into an eerie peace. With the rise of Uchiha Yoru, the friction between ninja villages actually stopped.
After Uchiha Yoru defeated the Fourth Mizukage in a direct Mist Ninja, Kirigakure was thrown into turmoil, further complicated by the presence of the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, who personally intervened to quell the unrest.
The Kirigakure offered little resistance; after all, if it had been purely Konoha Ninja from the start, they would likely have faced fierce resistance.
But this time was different. The Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, was from Mist Ninja, and the large army of ninja she brought was also from Mist Ninja. In addition, she was fighting under the banner of abolishing the Bloody Mist Policy, and with the assistance of the Kirigakure Genji, she was able to achieve her goal.
The Kirigakure accepted everything with little resistance, since they were still being led by their own people; it was just that there was one more leader above the Kage.
With the fall of Kirigakure, a strange peace prevailed in the Shinobi World, Uchiha Yoru seemed to have given up on launching a war, and for a time, all was peaceful.
But everyone knows that the next Shinobi World War will likely be the most devastating in history.
Meanwhile, rumors were circulating in the Shinobi World that the Three-Tails had fallen into the hands of Uchiha Yoru, but Uchiha Yoru denied it, and no one dared to question him.
Konoha and Mist Ninja officially merged, becoming comrades who had shared life and death.
The Land of Fire and the Land of Water also began to merge closely.
Iwagakure)
"Third Tsuchikage, Kirigakure has issued an S-rank intelligence report to the Five Great Ninja Villages: the Six-Tails has gone missing!"
"What!" Ōnoki stared in shock at the intelligence report sent by his subordinates, and hurriedly picked up the urgent report from the Mist Ninja.
After carefully reading the S-rank intelligence released by the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, to the Five Great Ninja Villages, Ōnoki gasped in shock and muttered to himself.
"Is this all a show you've orchestrated, or is there some real conspiracy hidden in the Shinobi World?"
The Mist Ninja announced that the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, the Fourth Mizukage, was first taken away by a mysterious Masked Man using Space-Time Ninjutsu, and then the Six-Tails Jinchuriki also disappeared.
The remaining clues almost all point to the mysterious Masked Man.
"Any leads on the mysterious man the Anbu are investigating?"
Thinking of this Ōnoki frowned and said in a deep voice to his subordinates, at which point an Anbu appeared.
"Reporting to the Third Tsuchikage, the Anbu's investigation so far only proves that there are indeed traces of this person's existence in the Shinobi World."
Looking at the intelligence gathered by the Anbu, Ōnoki's expression turned serious. "You mean to say that there are indeed traces of this person in the Shinobi World, but it cannot be ruled out that this person might be a character orchestrated by Uchiha Yoru himself?"
The question left the Anbu speechless. How could he explain such a guess? Anbu Ninja always deduced the facts based on intelligence; this was purely speculation.
Seeing the silence of the Anbu, the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, waved helplessly, signaling them to leave. After they disappeared, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Uchiha Yoru is a terrifying person. He not only possesses the strength and arrogance of his ancestor Madara Uchiha, but also the methods that Madara always disdained."
Was Madara Uchiha terrifying? But he was straightforward and used brute force to overwhelm others. Of course, this was Madara Uchiha during his time at the Valley of the End. After that, Madara went into hiding and began to plot.
Madara Uchiha was extremely terrifying when he started to use his brain. It can only be said that he was unlucky; just as he was about to start thinking, he fell into the millennia-old conspiracy woven by Black Zetsu.
The Kazekage and Raikage also received relevant information, and like Ōnoki, they secretly suspected that this was a play orchestrated by Uchiha Yoru.
However, Konoha later revealed some news to the three great nations, which made them gloat.
The Masked Man is suspected to have been involved in Danzo's secret Human experimentation within Root Danzo. It's unclear why he escaped, given that he possesses both Wood Release and the Sharingan.
This reasoning is well-founded. After all, the fact that Danzo stole his own village's Kekkei Genkai has long been known throughout the Shinobi World, and that Sharingan and Wood Release is an indisputable fact.
Since Danzo dared to put this thing on himself, he must have conducted Human Experimentation beforehand. Otherwise, no one would be stupid. Perhaps the research subject really did escape.
The Five Great Nations have never stopped their covert Human experimentation. It is not uncommon for experimental subjects to suddenly break out, causing chaos and even nearly escape, resulting in huge losses.
Moreover, the success of these experimental subjects involved too many coincidences; you can only attribute these things to luck (mysticism), there's no way to explain them, and they can't be replicated.
Even the Three Great Shinobi Villages, including the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, haven't given up their suspicions. Who knows if you, Uchiha Yoru, actually have anyone in your possession?
The Shinobi World, Akatsuki Base.
The Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata, lay unconscious in a dark stone cave, their bodies covered with Sealing Jutsu talismans.
"Nagato, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails will be temporarily sealed and hidden away, to be sealed again at a later time."
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path) requires sealing the Tailed Beast, starting with the One-Tail. If it weren't for Uchiha Yoru's situation this time, they wouldn't be in such a hurry.
"Although it's been exposed, the Shinobi World will also suspect that this was a trick orchestrated by Uchiha Yoru himself, since hiding Jinchuriki is a trick that all the major ninja villages are best at."
Masked Obito sneered, "Where there are people, there are losses. The Shinobi World is secretly investigating him; how could he not know that?"
Pain coldly Rinnegan at the two Jinchuriki and said in a chilling voice, "Akatsuki doesn't have enough manpower, and now your identity has been exposed."
Masked Obito naturally understood the other party's meaning, and this time he made no attempt to hide it, saying directly in a deep voice, "Alright, I will join Akatsuki as a member of Konoha's Root Human Experimentation."
In the original story, Obito always remained hidden in the shadows, but this time, with his identity exposed, it became clear that he could no longer remain hidden, so he chose to join Akatsuki under a different identity.
After all, he possesses Wood Release and the Sharingan, making this identity both plausible and reasonable.
"The organization currently has five members: Jade Sasori of the Red Sands, Big Dipper Kakuzu, White Tiger Konan, Black Zetsu. Including myself, that's only half the number of members we planned for the ten-person team."
Pain coldly revealed the current members of the organization, pointing out that it was half the size of the original ten-man group, Obito speechless.
The members he initially targeted, Kisame and Juzo Biwa, both became Uchiha Yoru's. Uchiha Itachi and Shisui were also promising talents, what a pity.
"Pain Zero Burial and Konan White Tiger will be in one group, I'll be in another for now, and I already have intelligence on the remaining two groups."
"Hidan of Yugakure possesses Evil God Technique that allows him to form an immortal duo with Kakuzu. Deidara of Iwagakure can team up with Sasori."
Masked Obito simultaneously handed over the information on the two men, and Pain nodded expressionlessly upon seeing this.
"We've already collected two of the Nine Tailed Beasts, leaving seven. That's a perfect eight-person team."
It's clear that neither of them has a suitable candidate at this point.
Konoha.
As time went by, the ninjas from Konoha and Kirigakure became increasingly integrated, especially the fusion of Mist Ninja's Kekkei Genkai ninjas, which was practically unleashing their true potential.
When both parties are willing, the integration happens quite quickly.
Inside the Hokage Building office.
The Fifth Mizukage is currently overseeing things in Kirigakure, while the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, has already made an excuse to go to the Fourth Squad (Medical Department) and slipped away.
Now, only Uchiha Yoru remains in the office, and he has been entrusted with almost all the political affairs of the two great nations.
"Night, this mission?"
Hatake Kakashi had just entered the Hokage Office, revealed a puzzled look in one eye. With the changes in Konoha, the dark aura of the former Anbu was almost completely gone from him.
Kakashi now possesses the same imposing presence he had when he first appeared in the original work, with his relaxed white hair and the one eye that was visible often displaying a smile and a sense of helplessness.
Seeing Kakashi's puzzled expression, two Shadow Clones on either side were handling government affairs, while he stared solemnly at the Hokage Rock outside the window.
"Kakashi, if ninjas possess such great power, why are ninja villages still subject to the daimyo?"
Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat at those words. Looking at Uchiha Yoru, he was filled with seriousness. After thinking it over carefully, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Because ninjas are tools from the outset, possessing powerful destructive abilities but not engaged in production. Moreover, the Shinobi World is mostly populated by ordinary people, and these ordinary people are the key to productivity."
"As you once said, most people have limited abilities. When ninjas are focused on increasing their power, they cannot be distracted by anything else. The daimyo is the leader who governs most of the civilians in the country, just like the Hokage who governs the ninja villages."
Hearing Kakashi's explanation, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and even clapped his hands.
"Indeed, Kakashi, with your intelligence and talent, you are more than qualified to be the Kage of a village."
Faced with Uchiha Yoru's praise, Hatake Kakashi gave a wry smile, "Yoru, don't joke around. Although the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Daimyo of the Land of Water have been plotting recently, it could cause turmoil if not handled properly."
Faced with Hatake Kakashi's concern, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but smile, and instead posed a question that left Kakashi speechless and unable to explain.
"Then, since powerful and high-ranking ninjas are subject to the control of the daimyo, why should the daimyo be surrounded by Onmyoji, samurai, and even professional ninjas? The daimyo is merely a ruler who governs the common people, just as a Kage rules the ninja village. Why should the daimyo gather Onmyoji, Samurai, and even professional ninja forces around him?"
Faced with this question, Hatake Kakashi remained silent for a long while before raising his head and saying softly, "The Fire Temple's ninja monks are spread throughout the Land of Fire, along with the Samurai trained by the Daimyo's Mansion. They are a force to be reckoned with."
"Yes, that's a force to be reckoned with." Uchiha Yoru agreed, then suddenly asked, "One country, two voices? What's this Kakashi about? Can you tell me?"
Kakashi was at a loss for words and remained silent, while Uchiha Yoru's face gradually darkened with anger. He slammed his hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "This is splitting!"
Some readers have said it's almost finished, and I'd like to say that it is, it will probably end around August.
Some readers even told me to write more, not just five million words, but at least two or three million words.
┭┮┭┮ Even the Jinli wants to, but if this happens, this book might get a good deal, but what about the next one? You'll see, wow~ it's that same mediocre author again, and you'll just stop reading.
There's no way around it; Jinli lucky charm, so I can't sacrifice the future and build a good reputation for short-term gains. I'll keep working hard on my next book.
Honestly, if you really asked Jinli to write it, he could easily write two million words, but it would be a bit padded. I hope you guys can understand.
