At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 140 I am the First Emperor

The 55th year of Konoha, the first year of Yanhuang.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire abdicated, Lin Mo changed the national system, named the country Great Yan, and ascended the throne as Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

Faced with overwhelming power, all of this proceeded smoothly.

Furthermore, since the daimyo voluntarily abdicated and the power was transferred, it almost did not cause any unrest.

Konoha Village thus became a thing of the past.

The ninjas of Konoha Village are no longer just a military force.

Instead, they were assigned to suitable positions based on their abilities.

The central government consisted of eight ministries (Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of War, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Science and Technology, and Ministry of Health and Medical Care), headed by the first prime minister, Nara Shikaku.

Lin Mo continued to employ the capable ministers and officials who were originally from the Land of Fire.

Faced with absolute power, he was not worried about these people rebelling. Moreover, after a period of time, when Lin Mo had some free time, he planned to refine a batch of pills that could directly control people.

The news of the founding of the Great Yan Kingdom quickly spread throughout the world.

The land of thunder.

Cloud Hidden Village, Raikage's office.

The Fourth Raikage, A, looked at the document in his hand with a grave expression.

"Lord Raikage, has the Daimyo given any instructions?" Raikage's personal secretary, Mabui, asked as she stood to the side, holding a stack of documents.

"The Daimyo has ordered us to immediately send troops to annihilate the Land of Fire," the Fourth Raikage said, casually handing the secret document in his hand to Mabui.

Mabui glanced at it and said, "But Raikage, we still have too little information about Emperor Uchiha Mo of the Great Yan Empire. Wouldn't it be a bit risky to launch an attack now?"

"You should know that according to previous intelligence, Uchiha Moke single-handedly wiped out Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and the four clans including Sarutobi. This sounds unbelievable, but it actually happened."

"I know." The Fourth Raikage rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache.

Despite his burly appearance and seemingly rough exterior, he is quite intelligent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the Raikage.

The Land of Fire, which is now the Great Yan Empire.

Logically speaking, this should be the time when the country's strength was at its weakest in history.

If it weren't for Lin Mo, whom he couldn't see through, Lei Ying would have already launched a war with a wave of his hand.

Just a year ago, he had just started plotting to take over the Byakugan.

"Could it be that Konoha deliberately mythologized Uchiha Mo's strength in order to scare away the other major nations? If Konoha really had such a powerful ninja, why were they so tolerant of us before?" Mabui asked.

“That’s a possibility, but the deaths of the Third Hokage and the others are a fact. Even if Uchiha Mo’s strength isn’t as astonishing as the intelligence reports, he’s still not to be underestimated.” The Fourth Raikage shook his head and then said, “But none of that matters anymore. This war is now unavoidable.”

As the Fourth Raikage A said, this war was no longer something he could decide.

After Lin Mo broke the rules of this world, attacked the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and declared himself emperor, everything was already destined.

Lin Mo's actions directly shattered the delicate relationship that had been built between the ninja village and the nation for over a century, and even threatened the lives of the daimyo.

How could the daimyo of the other four great nations not be afraid upon hearing this news?

Aren't they worried that they might end up like the Daimyo of the Land of Fire?
Do you not have any suspicions about the ninja villages within your own territory?

Therefore, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning immediately began to pressure the Hidden Cloud Village upon receiving the news, urging the Fourth Raikage to send troops to annihilate the Great Yan Empire.

Besides eliminating Lin Mo, it was also to test the loyalty of the Hidden Cloud Village to the Land of Lightning.

At a time like this, the Fourth Raikage would dare to utter a single word of dissent.

That would mean rebellion. "Mabuyi, prepare to declare war on the Great Yan Empire!"

The land of earth.

Iwagakure Village.

"Lord Tsuchikage, all the weapons and supplies needed for the war are ready, and we are ready to depart at any time," a Jonin from Iwagakure reported to the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

"I understand." Onoki nodded, indicating that he already knew.

The Jonin did not leave, clearly waiting for Ōnoki to give new instructions.

After a while, seeing that Onoki still didn't react, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Lord Tsuchikage, when are we going to set off?"

"We'll make a decision once the villages in Kumogakure send out their troops."

"But what about Lord Daimyo?"

"Do I need to repeat myself?" Onoki glanced at the Jonin and asked.

"Yes! I will immediately send people to keep a close eye on the movements of the various villages, including Yunyin."

The land of wind.

Sand Hidden Village.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, stood on the roof of the Kazekage Building, gazing silently at the distant sandstorm.

The entire Land of Wind is located in a desert region, covered with yellow sand, and its productivity is extremely low.

When Hashirama convened the first Five Kage Summit, he used the Tailed Beasts he had captured as bargaining chips to get the major ninja villages to sign a peace treaty.

The Hidden Cloud Village received the Two-Tails Matatabi and the Eight-Tails Gyūki, the Hidden Stone Village received the Four-Tails Son Goku and the Five-Tails Kokuō, and the Hidden Mist Village received the Three-Tails Isobu and the Six-Tails Saiken.

The First Kazekage didn't ask for the Tailed Beasts themselves, but instead requested resources of equal value. This was partly because their village already possessed the One-Tailed Shukaku, but also because their country's resources were extremely scarce. Otherwise, strategic weapons like the Tailed Beasts would naturally be desirable in greater quantities.

This is also due to the country's shortage of resources.

Sunagakure is arguably the village with the tightest budget among the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

In recent years, the Daimyo of the Land of Wind has been continuously reducing the number of ninjas and the funding for ninja villages, forcing the Sand Village's fighting strength to decline steadily.
If it weren't for the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, using Magnet Release to collect gold dust as a supplement to Sunagakure's funds for trade with the outside world, the village would probably have collapsed long ago.

It is precisely for this reason that Rasa is even more envious of the Land of Fire, which occupies the richest region in the world.

Only then would they choose to join forces with the Sound Village, where Orochimaru resides, to launch the Konoha Collapse Operation in an attempt to invade the Land of Fire.

However, things didn't go as planned. Orochimaru had other plans and died at the hands of Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Kimimaro.

Rasa would never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack the Land of Fire.

Even the daimyo of the Land of Wind unprecedentedly increased his financial support for this.

The land of water.

Kirigakure Village.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, is announcing to everyone the decision to attack the Great Yan Empire.

Because Lin Mo killed Obito Uchiha beforehand, the Fourth Mizukage was very lucky and was no longer controlled by Obito.

After hearing the Fourth Mizukage's words, everyone present showed expressions of great excitement.

After all, these people are madmen who grew up under the Blood Mist policy.

The battlefield is the best place for them.
