"Lord Madara, have a safe journey." (Moonlit night)
"Okay, kid."
"Remember your promise to me, if I succeed..."
"Rest assured."
Uchiha Nan nodded.
Madara Uchiha clearly wanted to groom me as his successor, but...
Uchiha Nan does not agree with what Madara Uchiha is trying to do.
so...
Madara Uchiha is now going to prove him right.
However, social system reform is not something that can be achieved overnight. It is the product of the gradual accumulation of ideas and the constant struggle for interests among various parties. Taking big steps may not necessarily lead to faster progress, but it may actually increase the likelihood of making mistakes.
Compared to Madara Uchiha.
Uchiha Nan still had more faith in himself. He believed that under his leadership, Konoha could break out of the Ninja world and even reach the moon. He had been so far ahead of Madara Uchiha over the years, with a constant stream of new talent, a massive supply of resources, and a huge market share. Moreover, he had the powerful Tobirama Senju of Izuna Uchiha behind him, propelling Konoha's technological development...
A combination of advantages...:
In this situation where the dragon is closing in, Madara Uchiha a shortcut.
Uchiha Nan then accepted it.
I concede defeat!
"Lord Madara, have you decided on a name for the organization?"
"Hmm... no, actually..."
"But I've already thought of a flag."
Madara Uchiha took out a prepared flag, which bore two patterns that Uchiha Nan recognized extremely well...
"Ahem... How about we name it Xiao, meaning the rising sun... I've even designed the clothes for you!"
"That's not bad."
Madara Uchiha nodded.
He felt the name matched his flag perfectly... a vibrant red expanse...
"Oh, by the way, you must ensure the safety of the students I lent them. I lied to them and said this trip was for their graduation internship. These kids are so young, embarking on a path with an uncertain future... As their Hokage... I'm very worried."
"Don't worry, I'm Madara Uchiha!"
Madara Uchiha spoke with extreme confidence.
After saying goodbye...
He then turned and left gracefully, leading his students away from Konoha and heading towards the Land of Rivers.
That day...
A group of strange people arrived in the capital of the Land of Rivers. They wore Akatsuki cloak on them, and one of them carried a bright red flag with two special patterns embroidered on it.
"Let's start today and make the world a better place."
Madara Uchiha's gaze was resolute, one hand clenched into a fist, and then his Susanoo, hundreds of meters tall, suddenly appeared directly in front of the capital.
Alarms were immediately raised.
Although the Land of Rivers doesn't have any decent ninja villages, this is the capital of the Land of Rivers.
In order to protect the Daimyo )...
The capital city had a fully-equipped garrison stationed nearby. Upon seeing the Susanoo, which was hundreds of meters tall, they immediately assembled their troops. Madara Uchiha waited for them to assemble from above, and then, with overwhelming force, stormed into the Daimyo's palace through the main gate, annihilating the palace's elite army in a single blow.
Daimyo, die!
The seventy-two students were still standing there, stunned and bewildered.
The Lord Hokage only mentioned it was a graduation project, but he didn't say it would be this exciting...
Susanoo several hundred meters tall.
Ahhh...
One man breaks through the army!!
That's really powerful!!!
The Hokage of Konoha.
" Madara Uchiha, resurrected!!"
"He single-handedly annihilated the Land of Rivers and declared the establishment of a new nation named Akatsuki."
"The 'one country, one village' system will be completely ended..."
The television in the office was playing the news.
Uchiha Nan leaned back on the office sofa, looking exhausted, not only because of the women at home who were "waiting to be fed," but also because of Madara Uchiha's super big move.
Madara Uchiha, that guy, could have easily infiltrated the palace silently and taken control of the Daimyo.
However, he still chose the most aggressive and direct method, without any concealment, and manipulated the invincible Susanoo appear in the capital of the Land of Rivers.
Thanks to television, a new medium, the news of Madara Uchiha and high-profile return to the Ninja world spread throughout the Ninja world in just one or two days.
Even within the Ninja world, video footage from that day circulated, thanks to the courageous journalists who, with their exceptional professionalism, risked their lives to capture firsthand footage of the scene.
In the video... Susanoo, as Susanoo as a mountain and seemingly a god, possessed unparalleled power. With a single, casual strike, it utterly annihilated the enemy before it, the residual force creating a crater in the ground. Everyone was terrified by this divine power, their legs going weak, muttering incoherently, "Is this really something a human can do?"
Although Madara Uchiha's methods were very direct and ruthless, Uchiha Nan had to admit that the results were indeed remarkable.
In a single day, Madara Uchiha seized control of the entire power center of the Land of Rivers. All the ministers living in the capital of the Land of Land of Rivers were summoned by Madara Uchiha and prostrated on the ground awaiting Madara Uchiha's orders.
Although most of these people were insects, Madara Uchiha did not kill them all, because there was no way to find replacements in such a short time.
After all, killing is very simple...
However, finding a group of people who could carry out Madara Uchiha's orders would be extremely difficult. The Land of Rivers is, after all, a country with a considerable territory. Killing all these insects would obviously be too extreme.
Moreover, from the current perspective, mobilizing the masses is unrealistic. Conflicts and ideologies are still developing, and Madara Uchiha does not intend to promote it from the bottom up. Instead, based on reality and adhering to the principle of seeking truth from facts, he plans to build his country from the top down.
However, these insects certainly couldn't escape unscathed.
Because in the face of the Sharingan Genjutsu, everything they had done in the past was exposed. Madara Uchiha showed no mercy to those who committed heinous crimes, and in front of hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, he made public their crimes, which were followed by rivers of blood!
The flames of anger spread like wildfire. The insects, always ruthless, were oblivious to the immense suffering and resentment suppressed by the common people. In the past, this anger was meaningless; the common folk struggled even to find food, let alone the Imperial Guards breaching the city walls, or the ninjas they hired to launch purges and rebellions against the Daimyo and nobles. But now...
Trial, murder, confiscation of property...
Madara Uchiha has been busy with these matters these days, trying to completely remove the anthropomorphic parts from the insects!!!
Journalists have ushered in their spring, broadcasting everything live from the scene; Madara Uchiha has become a hot commodity.
There are many who praise and many who slander.
The happiest people were naturally the villagers of Amegakure. No matter who it was, if they dared to challenge the Daimyo, the Rain Ninja would always lend a hand, since they had become the public enemy of the Ninja world.
Now, a surprise force has descended from the Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha is the MVP; they're just going to be passive and wait to win!
The Daimyo of the Ninja world were filled with sorrow and lamentation. Although the wheels of time were rolling on, weren't they coming too fast?
They haven't even given us a chance to fight back, and Amegakure still hasn't been wiped out.
Madara Uchiha, who had been dead for many years, has reappeared in the Ninja world and is once again relentlessly pursuing them.
but.
But none of this mattered to Madara Uchiha.
Because no one can stop him from doing what he's set out to do.
The four great ninja villages were as honest as quails, and their actions in dealing with Madara Uchiha were remarkably consistent.
According to the older generation of the Warring States period, the legendary God of the Ninja world and the Asura of the Ninja world were beings who could destroy an entire country single-handedly. The younger generation mostly dismissed this, some even showing disdain.
Just like humans cannot imagine things they have never seen.
But now...
They witnessed it.
then.
The four Kage remembered Uchiha Nan's teachings.
"In the first phase, we declared that nothing had happened."
"In the second phase, we said that something might happen, but we shouldn't take any action."
The third phase says, "Perhaps we should take action, but there's nothing we can do."
"In the fourth phase, perhaps we could have done something back then, but now it's too late."
" Lord Hokage, it's time for a meeting."
Nara Luyuan pushed open the door and entered. All the high-ranking officials of Konoha were already in place, waiting in the conference room for Uchiha Nan. With Madara Uchiha causing such a commotion, the entire Ninja world would have to follow him. Konoha would naturally be the first to bear the brunt. This ghost of Madara Uchiha had been dead for many years and suddenly appeared in the Ninja world. No one knew his power or his danger better than Konoha.
Such a person actually wanted to establish a nation and change the order of the Ninja world. Considering the grudges between Madara Uchiha and Konoha, the Konoha's higher-ups were so worried they couldn't sleep night after night. Uchiha Nan was also having trouble sleeping, but of course... not because of Madara Uchiha...
"I see."
Uchiha Nan nodded.
Nara Luyuan at Uchiha Nan, pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose not to speak. He had a hunch that the Lord Hokage before him was definitely playing the role of the mastermind behind everything again... but wasn't the commotion the Lord Hokage had caused this time a bit too big?
The meeting room was currently filled with noise.
Come back, Hashirama Senju, my proudest belief. The Wood Release are still vivid in my mind, and tears are inexplicably flowing.
I vaguely remember the Gate of the Great God, and their powerful True Senju, which wiped out all the rogue ninjas, even those who were brothers!
Uchiha Nan walked into the conference room, looked around, and noticed many familiar faces. Some of Konoha High Command who had previously retired were now attending the meeting... Hmm... it seems they're really in a hurry...
Good morning, everyone.
Uchiha Nan greeted the Konoha High Command's high- Konoha High Command officials who were seated. Seeing Uchiha Nan's calm and composed demeanor, the commotion in the meeting room subsided slightly.
Madara Uchiha was very strong!
However, the Lord Hokage is no weakling either.
Lord Hokage, destroy the evil Madara Uchiha just like the First Hokage did!
" Lord Hokage, regarding the matter of Madara Uchiha..."
"What should Konoha do?!"
"We must unite the four great ninja villages..."
" The Lord Hokage's Kamui is unparalleled, and our Konoha is now strong and well-equipped. A mere Madara Uchiha, as long as the Lord Hokage takes the lead... I..."
Uchiha Nan announced the start of the meeting, and the once quiet conference room became noisy again. Among the high-ranking officials present, a considerable number had witnessed the battle Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. The PTSD hidden deep in their bones Susanoo that was hundreds of meters tall in the video. They would not be able to sleep until Madara Uchiha was completely destroyed.
"Quiet!"
Uchiha Nan frowned; the topics these guys were arguing about were getting increasingly off-topic... that guy...
So you're the one who kept telling me, the Hokage, to lead the Hokage, huh? You've been causing trouble and stirring up trouble, and now you're even trying to get me involved?! I'll make sure you're the first one to carry a bomb and blow up Susanoo!!
Yes.
Even though Madara Uchiha has been continuously whitewashed by Uchiha Nan over the years, and his reputation among the people of Konoha has steadily improved, the Konoha High Command is perfectly aware of what's going on. The Lord Hokage is clearing obstacles for the future of the Uchiha... and since the Senju Clan remains silent, everyone will just let the Lord Hokage have his way.
Anyway, Madara Uchiha is already dead, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
Why should the living argue with the dead?
But things are different now.
Madara Uchiha is alive!!
In the eyes of Konoha High Command, Madara Uchiha was still that rogue ninja who left Konoha, an extremely dangerous individual. Therefore, the Konoha High Command's attitude towards Madara Uchiha was remarkably consistent: for the safety of Konoha...
We must completely eliminate Madara Uchiha, this extremely dangerous rogue ninja.
"Gentlemen, please calm down."
Uchiha Nan waved his hand.
If that old Madara Uchiha wants to cause trouble in the Ninja world, then let him do it. Completely ruling a country is not such an easy thing.
Uchiha Nan had personally witnessed how Nara Luyuan worked day and night during the early stages of Konoha's reforms.
He was practically dead from overworking himself, not to mention Madara Uchiha ambitions. The daily administrative tasks alone would have completely drained Madara Uchiha energy.
A Land of Rivers.
That'll keep him busy for a long time... Hmph... He'll be exhausted!
Konoha is no longer Madara Uchiha's enemy, but rather a partner. With Madara Uchiha as the tallest figure, Konoha only needs to follow behind and reap the benefits.
"Let Konoha send someone to negotiate with Madara Uchiha first. Trust me, he won't refuse to cooperate with Konoha."
Uchiha Nan calmed the emotions of the high-ranking officials and revealed a little inside information to them, saying that he had known about Madara Uchiha's faked death for a long time.
"Don't forget, Lord Madara, his surname is Uchiha."
The senior executives are all intelligent people; a single sentence can spark endless speculation in them.
The battle at the Valley of the End was clearly shrouded in mystery, with secrets unknown to them all.
However, the higher-ups of the Senju faction didn't look too pleased.
Damn it!
Have I, Senju Clan, become a clown?
