Although there was once a Hidden Void Village, it was only a fleeting phenomenon.

Orochimaru and Aozumi, using the manpower and resources of Konoha, recreated war machines that could shake the entire ninja world through the ruins of the Hidden Void Village…

This is the difference between a small village like the Hidden Void Village and Konoha.

The same technology can produce completely different results when resources are invested many times over.

The Tobirama came to a domineering stop on the ground scorched by Amaterasu's fire.

Aoshui slowly walked towards Tobirama.

Behind him, the former Hidden Mist ninjas, filled with trepidation and anticipation, stepped onto this creation that had astonished them.

On a spacious platform.

They witnessed the complete preparation process for various bombs.

The orderly Root flying ninjas were carefully tending to the giant bird that had landed, skillfully loading it with bombs.

Meanwhile, the wingsuit flying unit was also cleaning their ninja tools in a designated area, carefully loading them with senbon needles...

At the center, Yamanaka Inoichi, along with his clansmen and Kurama Kurokumo, served as the command center, processing intelligence returning from various battlefields.

Nara Shikaku, standing nearby, was frowning and discussing with a group of pineapple-headed men, constantly scribbling and drawing with the paper and pen in his hand.

On this enormous warship, every area has its designated responsibilities, and everyone is fulfilling their duties, with quick and smooth handovers between them.

Although it looks like work, it has a pleasing aesthetic appeal.

Former Root members like Hyuga Hizashi didn't feel anything when they saw this scene, because everyone in Root did things this way.

But the original Hidden Mist Ninja were different.

This village, severely impacted by the Blood Mist and plagued by internal strife, displayed an efficiency they had never witnessed before.

Inevitably, they began to compare Konoha with the current Kirigakure in their minds...

It's still those three items—

The leader's military prowess, the collective's quality, and nowadays, technological advancements.

The Hidden Mist ninjas couldn't help but ponder a question: what value did they still possess that made them worthy of Qing Shui's gentle treatment?

They felt flattered and overwhelmed by the feeling of being valued by an invincible enemy.

They also began to think that this might be the only lucky opportunity they would ever have in their lives…

Whether they can hold on firmly depends on their performance during the cleanup of Kirigakure's interior!

"Lord Qing Shui, the battle here is progressing smoothly..."

Nara Shikaku saw Aoshui approaching, and with his sharp eyes, he came closer and whispered his congratulations:

"Having eliminated those stubborn factions of Kirigakure and gained control of the ninja clan, you are now even more worthy of being the master of Kirigakure than the former Third Mizukage!"

Qingshui smiled.

Although what Nara Shikaku said sounded like a compliment, it was the truth.

In any village, including Konoha, which advocates supporting civilian ninjas, it is only with the support of ninja clans that one can become a Kage and maintain a stable position.

As long as there is support from a few top-tier ninja clans, the remaining civilian ninjas are essentially atomized and will naturally follow the strongest force within the village. As long as they don't do anything too outrageous, they can maintain their existence...

The defection of Kaguya, Hozuki, and the Terumi clan of Kirigakure had already determined the overall situation.

Although Kirigakure has always suppressed the ninja clans, can Kirigakure still be considered one of the Five Great Hidden Villages without these three ninja clans?

This is the crux of the contradiction.

The same applies to Konoha. Without the Senju and Uchiha clans, what kind of number one ninja village is Konoha?

"Perhaps so, Shikaku, but this is just Kirigakure..."

Qingshui shook his head and slowly said, "In the case of Wuyin, we can use force to intimidate them and then take some special measures to win them over, but we can't do that to the other villages."

"The stubborn and unyielding Onoki is like a rock in a latrine; he will inevitably lead 20,000 Iwagakure ninja to fight to the death."

"And then there's Kumogakure. With family, loyalty, and generosity as their main themes, they have the fewest rogue ninjas. Furthermore, their martial spirit permeates everyone, making it difficult to subdue them even if you kill them."

"As for Sunagakure, I've heard it's embroiled in internal strife; perhaps that offers some insight into that..."

Nara Shikaku listened attentively and agreed, "The situation in Kirigakure is indeed quite special..."

"But you have done very well. Not only did you suffer almost no losses in the Root forces, but you even gained new support. I have read through the war records of the Ninja World War and the Warring States period, and I have almost never seen such an achievement as yours."

Nara Shikaku is a smart man.

When he keenly observed that Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, the master and disciple pair, seemed to have an opposing relationship with Aokiji and Kagami.

After a quick deliberation, Aoshui chose to offer tangible benefits to the Nara clan.

In retrospect, the Nara clan and his choice were absolutely correct.

Nara Shikaku had never seen an army grow larger and larger during the Ninja World War; there was no record of such an event in any historical text.

Nara Shikaku was even certain that these Hidden Mist ninjas would soon become Aoshui's most loyal and fervent supporters.

"I hope so, Shikaku."

Qingshui looked around at the meticulously crafted Root members and the seemingly unrecognizable Mist Village ninjas, and sighed:

"There will always be struggle, there will always be conflict..."

"Even if we resolve the issues with Kirigakure, there are still Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure. And even if we resolve all of them, there are still internal problems."

"In times of peace, everyone sits down and fights amongst themselves, thinking about dividing up the spoils. But when war breaks out, everyone thinks that if things settle down, they can live a good life. But when that day actually comes, the same cycle repeats itself."

"Look at these Kirigakure members, their eyes full of hope. I have no doubt that they will become part of Konoha and even Root, but I am certain that they will also be involved in internal struggles in the future."

Nara Shikaku frowned, pondering Aozumi's words.

Lord Qingshui seems to have a long-term vision, and although his words sound a bit strange, they are indeed reasonable upon closer examination.

In Konoha during a time of peace, from the First Shinobi World War to the Second Shinobi World War, there were twenty years of good times.

But during these twenty years, Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, as well as Konoha advisors and many other ninja clans and commoner ninjas...

Amidst the competition and conflicting interests of various parties, this village is far from peaceful.

A thoughtful glint appeared in Nara Shikaku's eyes.

He wondered what Qing Shui, who had already achieved the best but was still not satisfied, ultimately wanted.

Is it a utopian world where no one fights and everyone is united as one?

This sounds like a dream, and from a human perspective, Nara Shikaku believes it's impossible.

However, Aoshui's strength and talent were beyond ordinary people, and his somewhat idealistic fantasies made Nara Shikaku feel that the perfect Aoshui was becoming more real...

Tobirama Senju frowned and sighed inwardly.

The characteristics of the Uchiha clan are also present in Qing Shui.

That's extreme!

To Tobirama Senju's ears, this meant that Aozumi, in a subtle way, hadn't yet given up on his pursuit of so-called "eternal peace"...

"Let's set off. Target: Kirigakure."

Aoshui seemed unwilling to continue the topic and calmly ordered Tobirama to start.

With such powerful aerial warfare capabilities, even the distance of the ocean is insignificant.

...

after one day.

"You all know better than I do about some of the die-hards in Kirigakure, so I'll have to ask you for help."

On board the Tobirama, Aomine and his subordinates gave the following instructions:

“Those who deserve to be killed should be killed thoroughly. I don’t want anyone to resist the arrival of the new era. This is for your own good and for my own good as well.”

The Hidden Mist ninja nodded.

Kisame and the others had already discussed the matter with Aoshui and drafted a kill list.

Elder Yuanshi and the deeply entrenched Fog Elders in various departments are all targets to be eliminated.

Based on this list of exclusions, Kirigakure is likely the area where a significant rejuvenation process can be implemented...

Led by Kisame, who wields Samehada, Kaguya Kimijiro and Terumi Mei, who are armed with bone blades and sewing needles, descend from the sky, bringing with them the Kirigakure ninja who had recently attacked Konoha, to rebuild their home.

The Hidden Mist ninjas looked up at the wingsuit-clad flying force, which resembled a swarm of bees, and felt a complex mix of emotions...

Not long ago, these bastards flying in the sky, spraying deadly needles, were opponents they could not defeat.

Now, they have become partners who protect and safeguard them.

Once you've tasted that flavor, you can almost never go back...

Less than half a day.

Kirigakure has been completely captured!

The salty sea breeze carried the stench of blood, yet every ninja wielding a sword had an excited look in their eyes.

Simply because this time, they were on the winning side…

Insomnia is killing me…

I don't know if it's because I get excited after writing, but every time I finish writing, I lie in bed for a long time before I can fall asleep. Then I feel groggy at work the next day, and when I get home, I start writing again...

It truly is a cycle of darkness.

How can I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow?
