Comparison of the two Hokage: Both ninja worlds are devastated.

If not for being too young,

If it weren't for the fact that their core strength is indeed insufficient...

If it weren't for the fact that one's strongest combat force could only be used once,

If we don't start an uprising now, we can't maximize our benefits.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, hehe.

Uehara Shimei turned her head to look at Orochimaru, feeling both surprised and not at all by the olive branch extended to him, who was not yet one of the Legendary Sannin.

In a sense, the little mustache's oratory skills are actually a miniature version of Kotoamatsukami.

It can guide a person from the deepest part of their heart until they are completely captivated.

Unlike a true Kotoamatsukami, which changes instantly, it can only guide a little bit each time, but there is no cooldown or cost, and the person being guided cannot detect even the slightest abnormality.

The effectiveness of this smaller version of Kotoamatsukami depends on three basic conditions, or rather, rules.

First, it must be logical, and the more it aligns with the other person's internal logic, the more likely they are to believe it.

This inherent logic is not always what everyone agrees on; it can also be the bias in the mind of the person being guided.

For example, if you want Orochimaru to think that you are actually a girl, that goes against common sense and is impossible.

However, if you reveal the darkness of Konoha to an Uchiha who hates the higher-ups, and the other party is already aware of it or even resigned to it...

Then you will not be doubted at all, and will even be deeply appreciated and regarded as a wise person.

Secondly, the more intense or even extreme a person's emotions are, the more...

The higher the probability of successful guidance, the greater the magnitude and extent of the change in thinking after successful guidance.

For example, those initial few hundred ninja soldiers were the most sorrowful, the most desperate, feeling abandoned and used as tools.

At that moment, when he appeared before this group of people like a savior,

And when they quickly resolve all dangers, eliminate all injustices, and give them warmth, respect, and care,

In their eyes, he became the true savior.

Thirdly, the more emotionally sensitive and perceptive a person is, the more extreme their personality is, and the more special their inner pursuits are, the easier it is for them to be guided to success.

For example, among the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya was the easiest to capture.

Because he regards the pursuit of peace as his lifelong belief and mission, it is not difficult to persuade the other party as long as the topic is discussed and the logic is self-consistent.

Secondly, there's Orochimaru. His yearning for science, truth, and reality is no less than Jiraiya's obsession with peace.

However, he hasn't completely abandoned his emotions; he still has some reservations at times.

On the contrary, Tsunade, not only lacking ambition and possessing only a large chest, is also arrogant and aloof.

Unless you kill Nawaki Kushina, it will be difficult to exert a deep influence on her, but it is clear that Uehara Shinmei will not do such a thing.

Thieves also have their ways.

Uehara Siming gathered her thoughts and then spoke:

"Snake-kun, Minato and I have formed an organization called the Light and Shadow Society."

It is an evolved version of the mutual aid society.

This means we are no longer just a purely student organization where we help, learn from, and progress together.

Rather, it is a political group with its own ideology and ideals.

This means we are no longer just indulging in empty talk and wishful thinking, or indulging in bookish idealism.

Having the grand policies to realize this ideal and put one's beliefs into practice, as well as specific strategies for saving the world,

And they are willing to take practical actions and move forward in a down-to-earth manner.

Snake, join us! I need you, the Light and Shadow Society needs you, and the new world of the future needs you even more.

Orochimaru neither confirmed nor denied it.

He was neither surprised that Uehara Siming would invite him, nor was he shocked by his bold move to form a faction.

After pondering for a moment, he asked:

Why is it called the Light and Shadow Festival?

"Uehara-kun is the light for everyone, the sun that brings hope to this world."

We are his projected shadows, the followers who prove the light's existence and its greatness.

This was Minato-kun's suggestion, and everyone agreed.

Before Uehara Siming could speak,

Behind me, a seemingly weak but surprisingly firm voice suddenly rang out.

Mikoto's eyes sparkled.

When she gazed at Shangyuan Siming, the undisguised admiration and love made her seem to glow, and her aura instantly brightened.

"Light and the shadows it casts? That's quite fitting. Has Jiraiya joined in?"

"He is considered an unofficial member."

Upon hearing Uehara Shimei's words, Orochimaru immediately burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, well done! I'm in! When you become Hokage or this organization is exposed in the future, I'll laugh at you mercilessly, hahahahaha."

Chapter 90 Uehara-ryu Sealing Technique, the Crown Jewel of Mathematics

As Orochimaru's hearty laughter echoed, the scroll slowly darkened.

After everything was plunged into complete darkness, a small flame began to burn again in the very center.

This glimmer of light was initially extremely faint, only the size of a pinhead, utterly insignificant compared to the enormous size of the painting.

However, as time went by, it gradually became brighter, and its light grew more and more magnificent.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the image reappeared on the entire screen.

In the dimly lit underground chamber, the flickering candlelight illuminated people's faces in an unpredictable manner.

Minato Namikaze and Hizashi Hyuga wore a peculiar outfit that was completely different from the prevailing clothing style in the ninja world, yet exuded solemnity and majesty.

Their expressions and demeanor became even more solemn.

His gaze was solemn, and every movement was executed with utmost care.

The two people stood on either side of each other, as if they were holding something extremely precious or sacred.

They carefully unfurled a flag and hung it on the opposite wall.

The flag is predominantly a vibrant crimson, with a large golden five-pointed star in the center.

Around the five-pointed star, countless lines radiate outwards from the center, extending to the edge of the flag.

It resembles the light from a lamp, or the tentacles of an octopus.

The two hung the flag.

Then, he took a step back, standing at the same level as Orochimaru and the others, and stood up again.

At this moment, Uehara Siming stepped forward gently and stood in front of everyone.

He gently raised his right hand, made a fist, and pointed it to his temple.

A loud voice, seemingly imbued with an unbreakable will and determination, followed immediately.

"I volunteer to join the Ninja World Light and Shadow Association."

Uphold the principles of light, abide by the charter of light, implement the resolutions of light, strictly observe the discipline of light, and safeguard the secrets of light.

Fulfill membership obligations, be loyal to the light, fear no difficulties, work diligently, and dedicate one's life to the peace of the ninja world.

And are ready at any time to sacrifice everything for the light and the people, and will never betray them.

Oath taker: Uehara Shinmei!

Behind Uehara Shimei were Namikaze Minato, Hyuga Hizashi, Iwabu Ryuto, Orochimaru, Might Guy, Uchiha Mikoto, and Yakushi Nonou.

Seven people stood in a row.

As he recited each sentence, several people repeated it until all the oaths were recited, ending with their own names.

The ceremony was extremely simple and rudimentary, with almost no unnecessary procedures and not even the essential offerings.

But for some reason,

Everyone felt heavy-hearted, and even the air seemed to be filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Without any surprise,

As this image appeared, a series of intense and indignant comments immediately flashed across the screen.

Jiraiya of the Ninja World:

"Damn it, why am I not here?"

Jiraiya of the Ninja World:

“I was the one who came first, I was the one who took Uehara as my disciple first, I was the one who established the identity of the Child of Prophecy first, and I was the one who passed on the will of peace to Uehara.”

"You...you actually dared to abandon me, actually dared to keep this from me? Do you think I'm that stupid?"

Jiraiya of the Ninja World:

"Everyone, please be the judge. Is this fair? Is this reasonable?"

Jiraiya of the Ninja World:

"Orochimaru and Dai are one thing, but Minato, Hizashi, and Mikoto all joined in, but not me? I'm so pissed off..."

Minato Namikaze of the Ninja World:

"Jiraiya-sensei, the organization's tasks and goals are different at each stage."

The initial goal was to grow stronger and accumulate power in the darkness, and to put the path into practice.

Therefore, the companions who joined were mostly people with relatively calm personalities.
