Amegakure.
When Obito Uchiha reappeared, it was three days later. Although a riot had broken out in Amegakure because Pain's Deva Path had been kidnapped by Naoki Senju, the unrest was quickly quelled by Orochimaru's suppression and his formidable reputation.
Hanzo of the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure who had been dead for many years, was Impure World Reincarnation Orochimaru the Impure World Reincarnation technique, replacing Pain and becoming the leader of Amegakure once again.
But when Obito Uchiha appeared, Orochimaru didn't see Rin Nohara... Obito's feelings for Rin Nohara as recorded in the data... this shouldn't be the case, right?
This is the downside of Orochimaru's obsession with research. If it were Jiraiya, he would definitely understand why Obito hadn't taken action.
He was afraid, he cowered. He was afraid that Rin Nohara wouldn't accept his feelings, he was afraid that his current appearance would frighten Rin Nohara...
Aside from his moment of glory before his 'death,' in front of Rin Nohara, he was always the loser, the Obito Uchiha who could mess everything up, not the Akatsuki leader and the executor of the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Obito Uchiha was even more afraid that the resurrected Rin would no longer be the Rin he knew...
So he chose to temporarily avoid these issues and spent three days calming himself down. Obito admitted that Orochimaru's hope for Rin Nohara's resurrection had indeed completely thrown his mind into turmoil.
However, Eye of the Moon Plan must continue!
He wants both to revive Lin and to create a world with Lin!
Obito is working hard for Rin, even at the cost of completely changing the world, and Naoki Senju is also working hard to change the world.
When Naoki Senju returned to Konoha, letters were delivered to the Five Kage. Of course, Mei Terumi received Naoki Senju's letter on her behalf, since she was still in Konoha.
However, the order was still issued by Mei Terumi, and then encrypted using Kirigakure's code before being delivered to Chōjūrō and Ao.
The letter's contents were quite simple—a declaration of war for the Fourth Shinobi World War!
Konoha simultaneously declared war on Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure!
This was a war unlike any other in history. Konoha's best historical record was only one against three, and Iwagakure and Kumogakure were still fighting fiercely in the rear, so it could only be considered one against two at most.
Moreover, Konoha was forced to participate in the three Shinobi World Wars and rarely took the initiative to provoke a war that would affect the entire Shinobi World.
But this time, Konoha has boldly declared war on all four major ninja villages simultaneously!
Note that it's at the same time!
Perhaps Sunagakure and Kirigakure will stand idly by, or even turn around and help Konoha, but for Kumogakure and Iwagakure, it's a real do-or-die battle. If they lose this war, it won't be something that can be resolved by signing a peace treaty.
Konoha is prepared to annihilate the entire village, and it has the strength to do so!
Tsunade playfully pinched Naoki Senju's waist, the force not heavy, but enough to make Naoki's expression change drastically, and he begged for mercy repeatedly.
"Good sister, you're too impatient, you've only just gotten back. Let's wait until tonight."
With increased force, Tsunade an eyebrow, her tone gentle yet carrying a hint of murderous intent.
"You've been gone for so long, and now you've brought someone back with you? Tell me honestly what happened between you two, and what your relationship is now!"
Tsunade was extremely annoyed; her worst fears had come true. Looking back, when had Naoki Senju ever gone out without flirting with other women?
Guren counts as one, and it was Naoki Senju who tricked Konoha into joining. Mei Terumi another, and Mei Terumi actively pursued Konoha! (Even a chase counts!)
Add Konan now, and you have enough people to play mahjong!
"It's probably... a female subordinate with impure motives trying to take over her boss!" Naoki Senju nodded, saying with absolute certainty.
Konan's Tenten attempts to exploit him suggest impure motives, right? Helping Konan get revenge takes time, which also means he's taking away from her free time, doesn't it?
That's right, that's the kind of relationship!
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Tsunade grabbed Naoki Senju's ear, but before she could twist it, she heard him cry out in pain, so she stopped to see if he would realize his mistake.
The expected pain did not come; Naoki Senju only saw Tsunade with her arms crossed, watching the scene Tsunade.
" Sister Tsunade-- "
Naoki Senju decisively wrapped his arms around Tsunade's slender waist and began to act coquettishly.
At this point, there's no need to care about saving face; your life is the most important thing. Tsunade's personality is such that she responds better to gentleness than force. As long as it's not a serious mistake, like making her sway in her divine robes in the Hokage's office...
It's generally forgivable; after all, who can resist a handsome white-haired guy's coquettishness? And if the genders were reversed, who could resist a white-haired mature woman's unreasonable demands?
Even if it meant death, some people would be willing to do it, right?
Given that there was no fundamental error this time, and that she knew something about Konan's identity and that her personality was frighteningly cold, it was destined that she and Naoki Senju, with their similar personalities, would never get along well.
So even Tsunade couldn't resist the white-haired handsome guy's coquettishness. When the soft and eye-catching white hair brushed against her nose... she really couldn't resist.
Tsunade hugged and rubbed Naoki Senju's head for a while; the white fur felt exceptionally comfortable to touch. Naoki Senju also tended to his long-neglected manhood, and the two of them had a great time.
"Now tell me, what do you want to do by bringing Konan back to Konoha? If I remember correctly, she's one of the core members of Akatsuki, and holds a very high position."
" Sister Tsunade, the Akatsuki no longer exists, so Konan's current identity is simply Jiraiya's disciple and a comrade of Konoha," Naoki Senju corrected Tsunade's mistake.
"Huh? What happened to the Akatsuki?"
"... Sister Tsunade, shouldn't your focus be on dealing with Konan? Konan's Paper Release Ninjutsu is extremely valuable. It doesn't require Kekkei Genkai, has a low barrier to entry, and doesn't even restrict Chakra attributes. This is the 'funding' you're using to expand your team, Sister Tsunade."
Naoki Senju glossed over the topic of Akatsuki, saying that since only two or three members of Akatsuki remained, and with Orochimaru acting as an inside agent, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Akatsuki had been completely wiped out.
" Paper Release? Is that really that powerful?"
Tsunade's attention was indeed diverted. She had only seen Konan's information and did not know Konan's strength or the power of Paper Release.
"Hmm, how should I describe it to Sister Tsunade... Konan's strength is about enough to fight two Kakashi, and if it's Kakashi without the Mangekyō Sharingan... five? Or ten?"
It became immediately clear. Tsunade nodded knowingly; Kakashi was indeed a very useful unit for measuring combat power.
"It seems that the Paper Release does indeed have great potential... How about this, let's arrange for Konan and me to meet another day, in a private capacity."
What about today?
"Today? You're not going anywhere today!"
