Heavenly Dao's Schemes

Upon returning to the city, Uchiha Kō immediately received a warm welcome from everyone in the city.

"The Lord Hokage is invincible!"

"Lord Hokage be victorious!"

"The Lord Hokage is amazing!"

Feeling the villagers' enthusiasm, Uchiha Kō waved his hand and said, "I have fulfilled my mission. This battle was not my achievement alone. It was thanks to the Konoha Ninja who fought hard on the city walls, the heavy weapons troops with armored vehicles and tanks below, the Tsuchikage, Deidara, and Orochimaru, the scientist who developed so many weapons!"

Uchiha Kō minimized his presence, instead praising others. He wouldn't keep this glory to himself Ōnoki Uchiha Kō Deidara exchanged a glance in the crowd. Was this how Uchiha Kō always acted at victory celebrations?

He himself played the biggest role, but he never mentioned it, instead attributing all the credit to all the soldiers in combat and the researchers who invented these new weapons!

Orochimaru was not surprised by this, because he knew that Uchiha Kō was such a person. It was precisely because he was such a person, a leader, that the Konoha worked harder and the researchers devoted themselves more diligently. It can be said that Konoha's success today is all thanks to Uchiha Kō's efforts.

Orochimaru adjusted his glasses and chuckled, "Lord Hokage, you were the one who played a decisive role in this battle. Whether it was strategic planning or leading the ninjas to stop the combined wind and fire ninjutsu, you were the one who made the decision!"

Uchiha Kō chuckled and waved his hand. This guy still knew how to handle people. "Alright, let's not stand here any longer. Let's go back and rest. The ninjas who participated in the battle today should get a good night's sleep, and we should arrange the shift system."

"Yes!" Everyone present, including Orochimaru, Deidara, and the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, naturally responded in their subordinate capacity. This shows how highly regarded Uchiha Kō was in their hearts at this moment.

After returning to the main hall, Uchiha Kō handed over the remaining corvée labor affairs and daily administrative matters to Nara Rokumei, giving him some instructions. "If enemy troops attack, remember to notify me. Do not rashly go out to meet them. With the city's great formation in place, as long as it's not the Heavenly Dao itself that takes action, there will be no problem."

Afterward, he returned to his rest room for deep meditation, practicing each move he had obtained from the Blood Jade until he had perfected the previous move before moving on to the next.

This will be a long time, but fortunately it can be paused at any time.

The Heavenly Dao in the universe would not rashly send out troops. It would learn from past experiences and make several preparations. It divided its Power of the Deva Path into several groups and created some divine weapons and gave them to the Shadows of the past generations.

For example, the First Kazekage's long sword was empowered by the Power of the Deva Path, allowing him to control the power of wind. As long as he injected chakra, he could create a whirlwind that could send people flying!

It was a perfect match for the First Kazekage. He gripped the long sword in his hand, a smile playing on his lips. Putting aside whether he could win this battle, he had already gained a lot just from this weapon!

The Second Kazekage's puppet has been improved; at this moment, his puppet is a golden-armored general, possessing the five chakra elements of fire, water, wind, earth, and lightning!

It can be switched at any time according to his will, and can produce special effects on the battlefield.

The puppet of the Second Kazekage is Sarutobi Hiruzen, a being that can switch between the five elemental forms at his will. Because of this puppet, the Second Kazekage was even able to go toe-to-toe with the First Kazekage.

Upon seeing the Second Kazekage's puppet, the First Kazekage couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder. "If you went back to your era with this equipment, wouldn't you be able to rival Senju Tobirama?"

The Second Kazekage still held the First Kazekage in high regard, and he cupped his hands in respect, saying, "I'm not sure, but I am certain that things will get better for Sunagakure."

With this puppet, he could wage war against the Land of Rain and other countries on the left side of the continent, thereby expanding the territory of the Land of Wind and allowing Sunagakure to change its living environment so that it wouldn't have to survive in that godforsaken desert.

The Kazekage patted him on the shoulder, and he knew he hadn't made a mistake in choosing his successor. As for himself... at most, he could leave Sunagakure a treasure.

His era was the era of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha, and with this weapon alone, he felt he did not have the resources to wage war.

The first Raikage obtained a pair of gauntlets, gloves that could increase lightning damage and even possess the special skill "Thunderstorm".

The Second Raikage was the same; their weapons were simple and brutal—just fight.

The two exchanged a glance and burst into laughter. "Won't this make those little brats cry their eyes out! Go Ai!"

The two men spoke in unison; whether they said it or not, there was a strange sense of shared identity within the Kumogakure.

The first Tsuchikage wielded a simple sword called the Earth Broadsword, whose ability allowed him to freely manipulate earth-style chakra for his own use.

It can split mountains, crack the earth, and deform the ground to create a favorable fighting environment.

At the same time, it can catch the enemy off guard and silently use earth-style ninjutsu to launch a sneak attack!

The First Tsuchikage chuckled, quite satisfied with the weapon. Only those who had cultivated Earth Release chakra could truly understand its superiority.

"What a fine sword, what a fine sword!" The joy in the eyes of the First Tsuchikage was undisguised. He touched the Earth Broadsword as if he were touching his own child.

Seeing that everyone was satisfied with the weapons, Heavenly Dao's lips involuntarily curled up. For him, drawing upon elemental power was a piece of cake.

They're so easily swayed by such small favors; what a bunch of fools.

"You all familiarize yourselves with how to use these weapons. I will create a simulated environment for you, open for three days, for you to practice using the weapons in your hands."

"Three days from now, you will all descend to the Ninja World to fight them! If you can defeat Uchiha Kō, I will help him unify the Ninja World. At that time, your families will enjoy the continuous support of the Ninja World's resources." Heavenly Dao spread his arms and laughed.

For a moment, the Five Kage of all generations fell silent. They imagined their own era, when they would become the rulers of the Ninja World. How glorious that would be! Their family, children, friends, and villagers would all be the most respected people in the Ninja World.

The only downside is that this is just empty promises. Leaving aside whether they can actually kill Uchiha Kō, even if they do, will the Heavenly Dao grant their request?

No, because the entire Ninja World is his script. Would he create a separate world just for the characters in his script?

If Uchiha Kō is truly defeated and his head falls, the Heavenly Dao will immediately restart the world and erase everyone's memories.

Let the world return to normal, and then slowly clear the karmic fire from my body, continuing to watch and appreciate my own script.

A hint of mockery flashed in Heavenly Dao's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. Apart from Ōtsutsuki Shibai, everyone else looked at the Five Kage with envy.

"This Heavenly Dao is not right. It seems we can't completely trust what he says." Ōtsutsuki Shibai squinted.

As if noticing Ōtsutsuki Shibai's gaze, Heavenly Dao turned around and extended a friendly gesture to him, since Ōtsutsuki Shibai and he had been on good terms in the past.

The Heavenly Dao also knew that Ōtsutsuki Shibai, this extraterrestrial demon, was extremely powerful, and it was possible to pit this extraterrestrial demon against another extraterrestrial demon.

He waited for the opportune moment when the two were injured before launching his full-scale attack and reaping the benefits.

Ōtsutsuki Shibai shuddered. He had a feeling that this Heavenly Dao was not a good person and had his eyes on him. It seemed he needed to be more careful!

This old guy has lived for who knows how many years, and he can freely draw upon the protagonists of each era to fight for him—that's already quite remarkable.

Ninja World

During this period of rest, Nara Rokumei ordered the laborers to build city walls, construct barricades, construct defensive structures, dig trenches, and manufacture weapons such as Kunai.

Furthermore, skilled ninjas and ninja tool forgers were on hand to prevent them from sabotaging the operation; if even one person failed to meet the standards, the entire workshop would be held accountable!

The female ninjas were responsible for gathering herbs, cooking, and making clothes. They were also assigned to be watched over, and if they failed to perform their duties, their water and food would be cut off.

We'll eat when everything's ready!

No one objected to this; they simply got to work, and their 100,000 laborers solved many problems in the Ninja World.

Originally, these tasks were done by their own people, but now, with these 100,000 laborers, they have saved a lot of manpower.

The city grew larger and larger, its defenses became more and more sophisticated, and its equipment became more and more robust. If people from outer space were to descend again, would they be even more astonished by the changes to this world?

At the same time, Uchiha Kō awoke from deep meditation. He had already mastered half of the Coiling Dragon Thirteen Forms, reaching the sixth style.

His head was throbbing because he had been constantly deduce the moves and was using up all his mental energy, which had caused him to be unable to continue deducing the sixth move.

So he got up and walked out of the lounge, opened the door, and was blinded by the scorching sunlight.

He breathed in the fresh air outside, his gaze wandering. This was life! If it weren't for all the things that had been going on lately, he would have loved to have sex with his wife for three days and three nights. Unfortunately, that was impossible in the near future.

As soon as he stepped outside, an Anbu Ninja appeared, kneeling on one knee. "Lord Hokage, this is a summary of the situation in the city over the past two days. Please review it." He said, holding up the documents.

Uchiha Kō nodded, then picked up the document and looked at it for a while, nodding unconsciously.

"Nara Rokumei's abilities are quite good. Tell him I'm satisfied. Also, don't let these laborers eat too well. Just make sure they don't starve." A cold glint flashed in Uchiha Kō's eyes.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!" After saying that, the Anbu Ninja left the Hokage's courtyard to tell Nara Rokumei everything.
