The Last Five Kage Summit

The ninja clan's amusement park is all ninja-themed, Jonin are mostly careless, their rides are actually quite hardcore, so adults need to supervise them.

Uchiha Madara's appearance immediately attracted the attention of adults and children alike.

Uchiha Madara, who had been away from this place for quite some time, had already left a deep impression on the members of his clan during his brief stay.

To put it more bluntly, the children of the Uchiha Clan had a particularly deep impression of him because he basically didn't interact with adults.

After Uchiha Madara came in, he sat on a bench nearby and watched the children play.

The adults all seemed eager to come over and say hello, but when the children saw that "Devil Uncle" didn't run over to grab them for training as he used to, they happily went back to playing.

Uchiha Shingen found the scene strangely familiar, so he thought back carefully and realized it resembled the preparatory actions of a large feline hunting predator.

Abbreviation: --Tiger watching intently.

Perhaps this is why Uchiha Madara is now willing to return to Leaf Village, and even willing to be resurrected.

Uchiha Shingen, however, thought this was a good thing.

The reason why Sengoku, Leaf Village, Uchiha Madara fought for all of this, in essence, was for the continuation of their clans.

Family is part of clan, and Uchiha Madara, who cherished his family, also had a deep empathy for the entire Uchiha Clan, until he felt abandoned by his clan.

But this kind of decisiveness is very unreliable. Everything is based on his personal feelings. When he feels that his family has abandoned him, he will leave. When he feels that his family has not abandoned him, his empathy will return.

However, he couldn't extend this empathy to the entire Hidden Leaf Village; this was the fundamental difference Senju Hashirama.

His deepest desire for peace was based on protecting his blood relatives.

This isn't a flaw; rather, it's quite normal.

Just like Uchiha Shingen didn't intend to protect the Sarutobi Clan, Shimura Clan, Su-Shika-Cho, or the Hyuga Clan, Aburame Clan, and Inuzuka Clans.

But he needs to protect the Uchiha Clan, so he needs to protect Leaf Village, protect the other clans that are part of Leaf Village's power, and ultimately protect everyone living in this village.

The same logic applies if we replace it with the Senju of the Forest; the final result will be the same.

Uchiha Madara in the past did not act any differently than he does now, which is why Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara said that the entire Leaf Village was their family.

Uchiha Madara at the time also accepted this view; otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted the Hokage nomination.

Uchiha Shingen left.

I didn't disturb you.

After that, Leaf Village enjoyed a period of calm.

It's Leaf Village, not the Ninja World.

The reason is simple: a few days later, when people looked up again, they found that the moon was gone.

At first, no one took it seriously, since it wasn't possible to see the moon every night anyway.

But after not seeing this thing for a whole month, people started to care, which was clearly abnormal.

When this period of time continued for two or three months, or even half a year, the world was shocked.

Can the moon in the sky just disappear like that!?

But in the eyes of the higher-ups in the nation and the ninja village, this is not a question of whether it exists or not.

This world also has disciplines similar to astronomy, and there is research on the influence of celestial bodies on the natural environment.

Daimyo's Court supported a large number of such researchers.

When the administrative and military systems are undertaken by their respective entities, both sides exert considerable dynamism in this field because they are well aware of their own responsibilities.

The Daimyo's Court oversees all the mountains, rivers, and streams under the jurisdiction of the Land of Fire. After all, the Daimyo governs the people, Hokage governs the army; neither can afford to make a mistake, or the whole system will collapse.

However, the moon in this world is not a naturally formed moon, and it is ultimately different from the moon on Blue Star. At least it does not affect the weather system of the Hokage world, Hokage stable weather system depends entirely on other natural factors.

It's not to say there was no impact at all. For example, the Police Force and the ninja from the ANBU made similar reports to the Hokage Building —on moonless nights, some animals felt confused, such as predators in the forest. Without moonlight, it became significantly more difficult for these animals, who mainly interact with the world through sight, to obtain food.

Uchiha Shingen did not take these messages lightly. Although the Hokage was only in charge of the military system, he also had to manage the production in Hidden Leaf Village, just as the Daimyo's Court had to manage the security of his own area.

Compared to the impact of the moon's disappearance, Kaguya Otsutsuki's departure quickly faded from the minds of those who cared.

Those who have left, no matter how powerful they were, are insignificant compared to the real problems that exist.

Overall, it's a good thing, as long as the resulting impact is handled well.

After all, those who cannot be free from worries in the present have no right to look to the future.

Uchiha Shingen also enjoyed an unusually fulfilling period as Hokage.

This intensive work on the theme of "humanity and nature" lasted for more than a year.

Ultimately, Leaf Village and the Daimyo's Court discovered that while the disappearance of the moon did cause inconvenience to some nocturnal animals, it was only inconvenience. These animals had managed to reproduce to this day, demonstrating their resilience, and would eventually adapt to the moonless nights.

Aside from that, the impact seems minimal.

The final uncertainty was resolved with the promise of the then Fifth Hokage Uchiha Shingen, that a new moon would be reconstructed.

As is widely known, there are nine Tailed Beasts in the world, and Leaf Village has six of them.

Currently, apart from one in Sand Village and two in Hidden Mist Village, all the other Tailed Beasts are in Leaf Village.

Everyone felt that it wasn't unreasonable for the Hokage, who possessed six Tailed Beasts, to create a moon.

For Uchiha Shingen, the reason he made such a promise was based on his vague memory that moonlight played a very important role in the growth of plants.

For the Land of Fire, whose foundation is agriculture, it would be very important if the moonlight in this world had the same effect.

In any case, by the time Uchiha Shingen was able to completely conclude his joint research with the Daimyo's Court and other countries, it was already the end of the second year.

The Leaf Great Forest has once again entered winter.

Ice and snow also swept in with the cold front from the north.

That day, after finishing reviewing documents in his office, Uchiha Shingen got up and opened the window. A cold draft rushed into the room, and the world outside looked gray and lifeless. The artificial lake in the distance was covered with ice, and there were black dots moving near the lakeshore, probably ice skaters.

Uchiha Shingen looked at the condensation on the windowpane and drew a smiley face on it.

He closed the window again, put away the documents, Flying Thunder God home.

In the Uchiha Clan's territory, the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and a group of children tirelessly trudged their footprints across it, running around in groups.

However, when a figure suddenly appeared on the snow in the distance, the mischievous children screamed and tried to run away.

But the man just sneered, created several Wood Clones, and captured all the naughty little devils.

"Naive, trying to run away at a time like this?" The newcomers were menacing. One of their Wood Clone looked at the chubby little boy they were carrying and asked, "Didn't you have a fever and a cold? You said you felt terrible?"

"I... I just came out for some fresh air..." the chubby boy weakly explained.

Although his figure was the most agile when he trudged through the snow just now.

"Just because it's cold doesn't mean you can slack off and skip training! Double the training today!"

The children immediately began to wail.

However, the parents who usually provide them with a sense of security are nowhere to be found.

Not only did they not appear, but the despicable adults were actually watching from the shadows, silently giving them a thumbs up.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child" is an easy saying, but not everyone can bring themselves to do it. After all, if you can beat your son, your father will also find an excuse to punish you. He doesn't care that he also hit you when you were a child, even his own son. If he sees you doing that, he'll never forgive you.

Especially now that Leaf Village has been at peace for a long time, the Uchiha Clan ninjas have become somewhat lax, and their expectations of children have also been lowered a little—at least when children ask them to play in this kind of weather, they can't really refuse.

But if you were captured by Leaf Village Asura who deliberately came out for a stroll in the snow, then it's none of Mom and Dad's business.

After all, few of the prey that Leaf Village Asura sets his sights on manage to escape.

In the snow, Uchiha Madara looked with satisfaction at the hunting results of his Wood Clone; it was another great harvest today.

Training children is his only source of joy now.

If I had to pick one more thing, it would probably be correcting Uchiha Sasuke's handwriting, but Uchiha Madara considered that part of the training as well.

He is no longer the Leaf Village Asura; he is the Uchiha Grand Trainer.

Satisfied with his gains, Uchiha Madara escorted a group of dejected children back to his base, a large indoor training building located in the Uchiha Training Ground.

But when he reached the entrance, he found Uchiha Shingen standing there.

This made him frown.

Chapter 147 The Last Five Kage Summit

Uchiha Madara, glanced back at the group of kids behind him, then at Uchiha Shingen in the doorway, and finally waved his hand.

The Wood Clone, with stern faces, led the captured children one by one into the training room, while Uchiha Madara's main body walked up to Uchiha Shingen.

"What's up?"

"It's nothing serious," Uchiha Shingen thought for a moment, "It's just something that's convenient for you."

"Then why don't you just do it?" Uchiha Madara shook his head and was about to go inside.

He has absolutely no interest in the Ninja World now.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to retrieve his eyes from Nagato; his current eyes Uchiha Obito.

After Kaguya Otsutsuki revived him, she channeled his Chakra into these eyes, just as when he obtained Izuna's eyes, giving him both his original Dōjutsu and Uchiha Obito's original Dōjutsu, Kamui.

Kaguya Otsutsuki told him that this was her way of repaying Uchiha Shingen's kindness, and that with this power, he could better deal with the Ōtsutsuki Clan who came looking for him.

The abilities possessed by the Ōtsutsuki Clan are not of a higher nature than those of the space-time category.

In the past, Uchiha Madara would have taken this seriously, since he had once valued Obito's ability highly.

But after experiencing great ups and downs and being resurrected in another way, Uchiha Madara's view of the world changed a lot, and these things no longer mattered to him.

His opinion of Nagato had also changed, and he was now willing to allow Nagato to continue possessing Izuna's eyes.

That was the last thing Izuna left in the world, and Nagato, who also possessed a Nagato for protection, was barely worthy of it.

Uchiha Madara would wait until Nagato died before taking it back, because he didn't want Izuna to have to struggle for the clan after being resurrected. He believed that Uchiha Shingen would definitely be able to completely pacify the world before Nagato died.

Then, it will be the perfect time to use Izuna's eyes as "materials" to revive him through Impure World Reincarnation and Rinne Rebirth.

However, Izuna might not agree to him using Rinne Rebirth...

Of all of Uchiha Madara's family members, only Izuna left him with a pair of eyes.

In his recollection, Uchiha Madara appeared quite distracted, but Uchiha Shingen paid no attention. He said, "It seems this is something we can only try to accomplish together."

"Is that so?" Uchiha Madara interest. "You plan to wipe out the other four villages? Are you afraid that the other three will escape when you destroy the first one?"

He thought about it and decided to give the other party face, since the world needed to be at peace before he could Impure World Reincarnation Izuna.

"Alright, you go and destroy Cloud Village, and I'll go and destroy Hidden Mist Village. That way, even if Iwagakure and Sand Village want to run, they'll only be able to run west."

In Uchiha Madara's view, running west was tantamount to courting death, and there was no need to kill him.

"What do you mean by destroying someone? I want to invite you to join me in building a new moon." Uchiha Shingen shook his head.

Destroying other ninja villages? That's unnecessary. As long as the Ōtsutsuki Clan doesn't abandon this planet, the ninja villages will naturally unite and eventually become one, just like how the Sengoku period became a unified nation.

This is determined by basic needs, and he doesn't need to put in any extra effort.

But to create the moon, Uchiha Madara would really need to come along.

The previous one was created by the brothers Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki.

In the original timeline, although Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke also created one, those two were both Six Paths level and had Hagoromo Otsutsuki providing support from behind.

Furthermore, by creating the moon, Uchiha Madara's image can be further positiveized, which is beneficial to Uchiha Shingen's plans.

"Creating the moon..." Uchiha Madara fell into deep thought.

He didn't think it mattered much that there was one less moon in the sky, and he had no idea why Uchiha Shingen was so nervous.

"Understood," he said. "Call me when you want to build it."

After saying that, he walked past Uchiha Shingen and entered the training room.

Seeing that Uchiha Madara had agreed, Uchiha Shingen didn't press the matter further and returned to the Hokage Building.

To maximize the effectiveness of this matter, he made full use of the power granted by the Hokage and his own strength in the following period.

He convened the Five Kage Summit.

The Land of Land of Fire that cares about the moon.

The other four shadows are also very concerned about the moon.
