Unification

Sasuke Uchiha into tears. Uchiha Itachi returned from his part-time job and saw a strangely familiar figure. Moreover, he sensed Amaterasu's aura emanating from him. What was going on?

Isn't Amaterasu his own unique Dōjutsu? Could it be that someone else in his clan has awakened the Mangekyo, and just like him?

No, that doesn't make sense either. The conditions for activating the Mangekyo are so difficult. If Shisui and I hadn't gone through life and Uchiha Shisui, we probably wouldn't have been able to activate it. Now that Konoha is at peace, where did all this war and turmoil come from?

But this aura is clearly mine, so what's going on?

Sasuke Uchiha seemed to sense something. He turned around and saw the figure he had been longing for day and night. At this moment, Uchiha Itachi was wearing a standard ninja uniform, not for any other reason than comfort.

Nowadays, Konoha places great importance on the comfort of ninja clothing, especially for the ninjas. Clothing can be unattractive, but it absolutely cannot be uncomfortable. This is a rule set by Uchiha Kō, which has received mixed reviews, but ultimately the positive aspects outweigh the negative ones.

"Brother." Sasuke Uchiha out, causing Uchiha Itachi's pupils to shrink. He must have heard correctly; this middle-aged man was calling him brother. What was going on? He seemed to be older than him.

"You're Sasuke?" Uchiha Itachi was stunned. What was going on? How come his younger brother had grown so much in just one day?

"Itachi." Uchiha Fugaku called Uchiha Itachi aside and then cast Genjutsu. In the Genjutsu, Uchiha Itachi saw a time and space without Uchiha Kō, and the things they had experienced.

Uchiha Itachi was stunned. So that's how it was? He looked at Sasuke in front of him, feeling a pang of heartache, but also a sense of understanding for his own actions back then.

He immediately returned to the door and hugged Sasuke. "Well, although I'm from a different time, I understand what you've been through, Sasuke. You must have had a tough time these past few years." Uchiha Itachi touched his forehead.

Sasuke Uchiha was stunned for a moment, looking at his gentle older brother in front of him. He thought of too many things. "Brother! I don't understand why you have to carry so much? Why don't you tell me?"

"Because you were too weak back then. If Konoha and Uchiha were to clash, both sides would be annexed by the other three ninja villages. Such an outcome would be unacceptable to me, to Konoha, and to everyone else." Uchiha Itachi explained the situation at the time based on his own understanding.

"Sasuke, get some rest." Uchiha Itachi's back, and Sasuke Uchiha young man actually fell asleep. Uchiha Itachi patted him as he looked at the sky, thinking, "It's good that Uchiha Kō exists in this timeline." He felt pity for that timeline, and darkness towards it.

But he didn't regret it. If this timeline were the same, then he would probably have followed the same path.

Uchiha Kotomi and Uchiha Fugaku left together. Uchiha Itachi put him on his bed, and as for Boruto next to him, he talked to him a lot, about Sasuke's life, Sasuke's wife, Sasuke's daughter.

He felt a little relieved; it turned out that Sasuke also had his own bonds and descendants in that world.

As for those eyes, he already knew why. For the Mangekyō Sharingan to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo, it requires a transplant of a relative's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Thus, possessing the skills of one's loved ones, the Mangekyō Sharingan will no longer have to worry about going blind.

Time flies, and soon...

All the major ninja clans gathered in the Hokage Office. There were many people present this time, including Jonin.

There were too many people, so there wasn't enough room for chairs. Therefore, people either sat on the floor or stood there.

Everyone stared intently at the figure on the podium: Uchiha Kō, the leader of Konoha, the Fourth Hokage, the leader who developed Konoha into the largest village.

He doesn't advocate for false peace, negotiation, or compromise; all he has is a determined drive and a resolve to punish anyone who offends Konoha, no matter how far away they are.

In his era, the era of Uchiha Kō, which is recognized in the annals of the Ninja World, he could represent order and principles.

He is the protagonist of this era, the protagonist of the world!

Nara Rokumei followed closely behind, standing there with his back straight. He felt honored to follow such Hokage; he had chosen the right person, and his name would be recorded in history books.

Hatake Sakumo stood in front, his gaze sharp as a knife, his right hand resting on his short sword, his eyes closed, exuding a calm and composed aura that inspired awe.

Konoha F3, a group that surpassed F4 by hundreds of times, every decision made by this trio brought tremendous changes and benefits to Konoha.

Normally, only one or two members of a three-person team would attend a meeting, but now all three are here, which shows the seriousness and urgency of the matter.

After observing for a while, Hatake Sakumo his hand, and the door slammed shut with a bang!

The conference room was pitch black; in an instant, the lights were turned on!

Everyone instinctively covered their eyes with their hands to prevent being injured.

Immediately afterwards, they all walked towards the stage, with Uchiha Kō in the middle, Nara Rokumei on the left, Hatake Sakumo on the right.

The entire three-person team was present.

The entire venue was bustling with noise, people whispering and talking amongst themselves, making it impossible to hear what was being said on stage.

Just then, Hatake Sakumo suddenly drew his sword. His movements were swift and nimble, and the short sword was instantly drawn from its sheath with a crisp "clang".

The sound, amplified by the loudspeaker, spread in all directions like a thunderclap.

"Quiet!" Hatake Sakumo said. His voice wasn't loud, but it was full of authority, leaving no room for doubt or rebuttal.

With his Kage Level strength, the title of Anbu Captain, and the title of Hokage's Shadow, Hatake Sakumo enjoys extremely high prestige and status in Konoha, making him second only to the Hokage.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into complete silence; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

However, in the midst of this deathly silence, a sudden "thud" was heard. It turned out that someone's phone had accidentally fallen to the ground. The sound seemed particularly abrupt at this moment, attracting everyone's attention.

The person was clearly embarrassed and quickly said, "Sorry!" Then, he hurriedly picked up his phone and, like a startled rabbit, quickly hid at the back of the line.

Soon, everyone's attention returned to the stage, and Nara Rokumei began to speak, "Today, after the Hokage's inauguration ceremony in Kumogakure, the Lord Hokage unexpectedly discovered a being from beyond the heavens, Qi Ming Otsutsuki."

"They are the enemies of us ninjas. Their goal is to steal our Chakra to complete their own plans!"

"They are incredibly powerful, each possessing strength comparable to a Kage Level expert! But can we simply surrender? Can we obediently die and become their slaves and food? No!"

After these words were spoken, everyone present immediately united in their indignation. "We disagree! Why should we be slaves!"

"Why should they be able to take it back just because they want to!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The Konoha Ninja were in high spirits, firmly believing that under the leadership of their Lord Hokage Uchiha Kō, they would surely achieve victory!

For a moment, the crowd was filled with indignation. They believed that Uchiha Kō was leading them to fight against the people in the sky. Then, Uchiha Kō spoke up.

"In order to defeat that group, we need to accomplish two tasks. The first is unification!" Uchiha Kō said.

"If the Ninja World remains ununified, its structure will remain fragmented, and it will only be defeated piecemeal by the Ōtsutsuki Clan."

"Once unified, we can gather the full power of the Ninja World and launch a full-scale attack on the Ōtsutsuki Clan." Uchiha Kō's voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

They frowned at first, then became enthusiastic, never expecting that unification would bring so many benefits!

Some ninjas even shouted the word "unity," which spurred others to do the same.

Uchiha Kō stretched out his hand and declared loudly, "Unification is not the end; on the contrary, it is the beginning, the beginning of a new era!"

"After defeating the Otsutsuki, unification means that Konoha will have no more enemies, and from now on, the world will only have one voice from Konoha!"

"You no longer need to worry about fighting in the future, and you can happily enjoy family life at home."

"Fight all the battles while we can still move! Don't let our descendants have to participate in wars!" Uchiha Kō's words echoed throughout the entire venue once again through the loudspeaker!

He immediately gained the support of 80% of the ninjas, while the remaining 20% worried that if they failed, Konoha would rapidly decline and all that Konoha had achieved would vanish into thin air.

They also have their own businesses, stable homes, and respectable jobs. It's only natural for them to worry about dying on the battlefield, and their reaction didn't surprise Uchiha Kō.

If everyone were truly united and wanted to fight, that would be strange! That's why no one has talked about unifying the Ninja World for so many years.

First, the strength was insufficient to support such a grand ambition, which was ultimately burned up by the ambition called unification.

Secondly, there is a lack of unity among the people. Some are willing to risk everything for victory, some are willing to dedicate everything for the prosperity of the village, while others are worried about the uncertain future and whether it is the right thing to do, and some are afraid that there will be no way back in the future.

Everyone has their own perspective; there will always be supporters and opponents, and this is unavoidable.

Uchiha Kō spoke again, "Senju Hashirama, lead ten thousand ninja to attack Sunagakure!"

"Senju Tobirama led ten thousand ninja to attack Kirigakure."

"Uchiha led 10,000 ninja to attack Iwagakure."

"Uchiha Izuna led 10,000 ninja to attack Kumogakure."

Those whose names Uchiha Kō went up on stage one by one, and the other ninjas cheered when they saw this!

This is the foundation of Konoha, this is the power of Konoha!
