• Shu Shiraishi ended the internal purge, abolished traditional missions, and ordered Konoha’s ninja to build factories and produce their own supplies.
• As villagers and clan members labored under harsh conditions, Shu directed the construction of Heavy Industry Base No. 1 and ordered Orochimaru to develop Chakra-powered machinery.

Shu Shiraishi transformed Konoha into an industrial and military power, using captured tailed beasts to fuel its factories, aircraft, communications network, and nuclear weapon. After testing the weapon and declaring a new age of centralization, he faced surrender envoys from the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth and demanded their sovereignty.

• Konoha sank Kirigakure’s fleet, and Shu Shiraishi learned that the Third Raikage had died supplying chakra for the aircraft carrier.
