Commander Uchiha, we respect and love you!

Chapter 301 Tracking+
"Oh, that's interesting!"

Before the interdimensional tunnel, Uchiha Kazuto looked at the message in his hand and smiled. It contained nothing but information about parallel worlds, although Uchiha Sasuke didn't know why people in parallel worlds would know about the Empire's existence.

However, that only applies to Uchiha Sasuke. It doesn't mean that others don't know that in the world they conquered before, there was a Great Toad Sage who had obtained the memories of his parallel world self. When they went to Mount Myōboku, they discovered that the Great Toad Sage had already died before them.

These beasts must have mastered some kind of interdimensional memory transfer technology, but the price must be extremely high, requiring them to sacrifice everything, including their souls, to transfer the memories.

That parallel world is probably about a giant toad sage who regained his memories and then formed a resistance organization.

"Destroy them!"

Uchiha Kazuto's order was given, and soon, a large number of soldiers began to mobilize and head to the parallel world to begin their assembly.

However, to deal with the parallel world, a full-scale war was not launched; only three of the Empire's ten land forces were deployed.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only three armies; they have a considerable number of soldiers. In the past, when there was only one planet called the Ninja World and the population was limited, an army only had 500,000 regular soldiers.

Even then, the empire had five million active soldiers, not to mention many reservists; it was practically a nation of soldiers.

Furthermore, these five million permanent troops are not ordinary soldiers. Even the weakest of them are capable of killing low-level ninjas from the past as easily as weeds. And these are the most ordinary soldiers.

With 300,000 ordinary soldiers, 150,000 junior officers, 45,000 mid-level officers, and around 5,000 senior officers, it can be said that any fully equipped Imperial Army could crush the ninja world of the past era.

Five thousand high-ranking officers represent five thousand Kage-level powerhouses. Here, Kage is not a rank; even a genin who rises to the rank of Kage can be called a Kage. It is a true division of strength, and not just any Kage, but beings who can almost crush those average powerhouses of the past, such as Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, such a hierarchical system is a thing of the past. Now there is a new hierarchical system. Above the senior sergeant major, there is a new official position called commander. All strong individuals who have reached the sixth level of strength can become commanders and gain greater power.

Before technological breakthroughs, the only way to obtain Six Paths level power, besides receiving direct enhancement from Uchiha Kazuto's eye power, was to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki. Only in this way could one obtain Six Paths level power.

However, if costs are disregarded and a large amount of resources are piled up, it is indeed possible to forcibly create a powerhouse of this level. Unfortunately, such a powerhouse would have problems; without Uchiha Kazuto's eye technique to sustain life, it would not live for long at all.

However, although it is difficult to become a true Six Paths level powerhouse, those senior sergeants, who are the strongest below the Six Paths, can have their power forcibly raised to the Six Paths level simply by having the Six Paths level powerhouses in the army share some Six Paths power with them.

It's still a good deal.

However, the era when a single military force had a permanent troop strength of 500,000 is over. Now, the era is when each parallel universe has a permanent troop strength of 500,000.

Not much time has actually passed. Currently, the Empire rules over more than 170 parallel universes, and this number is constantly increasing. Once the Empire has finished ruling each parallel world and successfully established order, it will create a new army within that world.

Five million in each world.

In fact, a force of five million is already terrifying, not to mention that these soldiers are all ninjas. In the old era, it would have been absolutely impossible to support such a terrifying army. You should know that even in the past ninja village era, the scale of war was only around 100,000, and sometimes it was not even that large.

If it weren't for the fact that productivity is now extremely advanced, that we have begun to colonize other planets, and that we are able to grow food on a large scale, and even create a large number of outer space farms and production bases orbiting stars, it would be absolutely impossible to easily support such a large army.

After all, there are too few people in the ninja world!
However, although each world has a permanent army of five million, these armies are not independent but united. In the Empire, there are only ten army units. The army units in other worlds are equivalent to branches, but are essentially still part of the main army.

Three army units are enough to deal with parallel worlds. Although the Imperial Army may be somewhat lacking in the ranks of top powerhouses, it is different from Madara Uchiha and his group. Madara Uchiha and his group quickly traveled to other worlds, found another version of themselves, shared their memories, and then used the Ten-Tails to devour the nine-tailed beast, creating a new Ten-Tails Jinchuriki in a very short time.

The Empire, on the other hand, takes a steady and methodical approach. Each time it arrives at a new world, it only opens a new portal to another world after conquering that world.

However, each of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki on the Empire's side possesses a super bio-armor that represents the current limit, enabling them to amplify their power to the extreme and even crush beings at the Six Paths level.

The number of people is not a problem at all.

"For the Empire! For the Grand Commander!!!"

"Staying up late!!!"

“The bowl is broken!!!”

Before the gate of time and space, a huge number of soldiers gathered, their slogans as loud as mountains and as vast as the sea. No one feared war; all they felt was a desire for it.

In the void, the Soul Recycling System called the Grim Reaper echoed continuously. After constant upgrades and optimizations, the Grim Reaper's soul recycling ability was greatly enhanced. In addition, its stealth ability was also strengthened to an extremely terrifying degree. Even the Sage of Six Paths could not kill a Grim Reaper. Of course, the Grim Reaper had no offensive power.

It almost pushes the limits of soul recycling and concealment abilities.

Furthermore, the current Grim Reaper no longer needs to use tentacles to collect the souls of others. A Grim Reaper specifically designed for interdimensional warfare has a force field capable of covering an entire planet. After all friendly personnel die, their souls are collected and transported to… through a spacetime portal inside the Grim Reaper.
