Ch. 378I Want a Shinobi World Without War

Ren announced that the Seireitei Conference would seek a World Peace Treaty, with the Uchiha acting as its neutral guarantor and enforcing it against anyone who started a war.

Ren addressed the Uchiha elders’ concerns about becoming guarantors of the world peace treaty by proposing a professional system to handle routine disputes and treaty enforcement.

  • Ren explained that his secret technique could send a soul-fragment seed through reincarnation and return its experiences, talents, and cultivation to him, repairing his foundation.
