I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 266 How can a country have two voices?

Inside the meeting room.

The ninjas from both the Mist Village and Konoha Village listened with flushed faces and great excitement.

Kakashi secretly admired Yoru, realizing that his choice was indeed correct; Yoru was truly a legendary figure who could rewrite Konoha and the history of the ninja world.

"All of the above is for the sake of peace between Konoha and Kirigakure. These things need time to prove themselves, so please work together with me. With eight years as our benchmark, I think we can see initial results in five years, and in eight years we will be inseparable."

Any integration takes time, and time can heal all wounds.

Uchiha Yoru looked at everyone with a determined expression, and finally said in a deep voice: "At the same time, I have decided to establish the Gotei 13, an elite ninja force that will take it upon itself to protect the ninja world in the future."

"The Thirteen Divisions are divided into: the First Division, which commands and issues missions; the Second Division, which assassinates and gathers intelligence; the Third Division, which provides emergency backup and support to other divisions; the Fourth Division, which provides comprehensive medical treatment; the Fifth Division, which is responsible for rescue operations..."

Uchiha Yoru slowly began to explain the details of the 13th Division. Upon hearing this, Kakashi frowned, scratched his white hair, and asked in confusion.

"Lord Yoru, the founders of the Thirteenth Division were almost a gathering of elites, and they encompassed almost every aspect of the two major ninja villages."

Seeing Kakashi's puzzled look, Uchiha Yoru immediately smiled. "Kakashi, you're right, but did I say that the 13th Division would be formed in the next year or two?"

One sentence stunned everyone. Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying, "Once the 13th Division is fully established, ordinary members will need to reach at least the level of elite Chunin, while special Jonin and Jonin may compete for the established positions (squad leaders)."

"For now, only those who have reached at least the Elite Jonin level are eligible to run for Vice-Captain. As for Captain! There will be no Captain at the Kage level!"

boom!

After Uchiha Yoru said this, everyone was shocked and then became even more enthusiastic. Uchiha Yoru's words almost meant that once the Thirteen Divisions were fully established, the ninja world would probably be unified by then.

Even a vice-captain needs to be at least an elite Jonin to qualify. Keep in mind that this is just a qualification; the final qualification is that the vice-captain must be at least a Kage level.

As for the captain, needless to say, he doesn't have Kage-level strength and would rather keep the title of captain empty.

"There's no rush. I plan to establish the First Division, Second Division, Third Division, Fourth Division, and Fifth Division within five years, with the personnel selected from the two major ninja villages."

"Now, for the sake of the future, I urge you all..."

Finally, Uchiha Yoru stood up and solemnly looked around at everyone, who in unison shouted, "For peace!"

Jiraiya stared blankly at this scene. Good heavens, what is this? Brainwashing? It feels a bit like the Root organization.

As the meeting ended, Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi all turned green with fear, staring weakly at Yoru Uchiha.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Yoru burst into laughter. "Alright, no rush. It's rare for everyone to come back, and arrangements have been made for everyone in the border region, so I'll give everyone two days off."

"But only for two days! I have to be back at my post in two days."

Upon hearing this, Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Deivashi breathed a sigh of relief. The Flying Thunder God Technique had turned them into a teleportation array.

"The night is here. Kirigakure cannot be delayed for even a moment. I must stabilize Kirigakure as quickly as possible."

Everyone else was fine, but Mei Terumi's gaze was firm at this moment, and Yoru Uchiha nodded seriously after hearing it.

"Okay, I'll take you there myself."

……

The entire ninja world fell into an eerie peace. With the rise of Uchiha Yoru, the friction between ninja villages actually stopped.

After Uchiha Yoru defeated the Fourth Mizukage and his tens of thousands of Kirigakure ninja in a direct confrontation, Kirigakure was thrown into turmoil, further complicated by the presence of the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, who personally intervened to quell the unrest.

The Hidden Mist Village offered little resistance; after all, if it had been purely Konoha ninja from the beginning, they would likely have faced fierce resistance.

But this time was different. The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, was from Kirigakure, and the large army of ninja she brought was also from Kirigakure. In addition, she was under the banner of abolishing the Blood Mist Village policy, and with the assistance of the prestigious Kirigakure Master.

The Hidden Mist Village accepted everything with little resistance, since they were still being led by their own people, just with an additional leader above the Kage.

With the fall of Kirigakure, a strange peace prevailed in the ninja world, and Uchiha Yoru seemed to have given up on launching a war, and for a time, all was peaceful.

But everyone knows that the next Shinobi World War will probably be the most devastating in history.

Meanwhile, rumors were circulating in the ninja world that the Three-Tails had fallen into the hands of Uchiha Yoru, but Uchiha Yoru denied it, and no one dared to question him.

Konoha and Kirigakure have officially merged, becoming comrades who have shared life and death.

The Land of Fire and the Land of Water also began to merge closely.

Iwagakure (Iwagakure Village)

"Third Tsuchikage, Kirigakure has issued an S-rank intelligence report to the five great ninja villages: the Six-Tails has gone missing!"

"What!" Onoki stared in shock at the information sent by his subordinates, and hurriedly picked up the urgent report from the Mist Ninja.

After carefully reading the S-rank intelligence released by the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, to the five great ninja villages, Onoki couldn't help but gasp and mutter in shock.

"Is this a play you all staged, or is there some conspiracy hidden in the ninja world?"

The ninja village of Kirigakure announced that the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, the Fourth Mizukage, was first taken away by a mysterious masked man using space-time ninjutsu, and then the Six-Tails Jinchuriki also disappeared.

The remaining clues almost all point to the mysterious masked man.

"Any leads on the mysterious man the undercover investigators are looking for?"

Thinking of this, Onoki frowned and said in a deep voice to his subordinates, at which point an ANBU member appeared.

"Reporting back to the Third Tsuchikage, the Anbu's investigation has yielded clues that only prove traces of this person's existence in the ninja world."

Looking at the intelligence gathered by the Anbu, Onoki's expression turned serious. "You mean to say that there are indeed traces of this person in the ninja world, but we can't rule out the possibility that this person was orchestrated by Uchiha Yoru himself?"

The question left the Anbu speechless. How could he explain such a guess? They, the Anbu ninjas, always deduced the facts based on intelligence; this was purely a guess.

Seeing the silence of the Anbu, the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, waved helplessly, signaling them to leave. After they disappeared, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Uchiha Yoru is a terrifying person. He not only possesses the strength and arrogance of his ancestor Uchiha Madara, but also the methods that Madara always disdained."

Was Madara Uchiha terrifying? But he was straightforward and used brute force to overwhelm others. Of course, this was Madara Uchiha during his time at the Valley of the End; after that, Madara went into hiding and began to plot.

Madara Uchiha was extremely terrifying when he started to use his brain. It can only be said that he was unlucky. Just as he was about to start using his brain, he fell into the thousand-year conspiracy woven by Black Zetsu.

The Kazekage and Raikage also received relevant information, and like Onoki, they secretly suspected that this was a play orchestrated by Uchiha Yoru.

However, Konoha later revealed a piece of news to the three great nations that made them gloat.

The masked man is suspected to have been involved in Danzo's secret human research within Root. It's unclear why he escaped, given that he possesses both Wood Release and Sharingan.

This reasoning is well-founded. After all, the fact that Danzo stole his own village's bloodline limit has already spread throughout the ninja world, and that he possesses both the Sharingan and Wood Release is an indisputable fact.

Since Danzo dared to put this thing on himself, he must have conducted human experiments beforehand. Otherwise, no one would be stupid. Perhaps the research subject really did escape.

The five great nations have never stopped their covert research on the human body. It is not uncommon for experimental subjects to suddenly break out, causing chaos and even nearly escape, resulting in huge losses.

Moreover, the success of these experimental subjects was due to too many coincidences. You can only attribute these things to luck (metaphysics). There is no way to explain them or replicate them.

The three great ninja villages, including the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails, have not given up their suspicions. Who knows if you, Uchiha Yoru, actually have anyone in your possession?

The Ninja World, Akatsuki's Base.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Urabozu, lay unconscious in a dark stone cave, their bodies covered with sealing talismans.

"Nagato, the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails will be temporarily sealed and hidden away, to be sealed again at a later time."

The Gedo Mazo (Outer Path Demon Statue) requires sealing the tailed beasts, starting with the One-Tailed Beast. If it weren't for Uchiha Yoru's situation this time, they wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"Although it has been exposed, the ninja world will also suspect that this is a trick orchestrated by Uchiha Yoru himself, since hiding Jinchuriki is a trick that all the major ninja villages are best at."

Masked Obito sneered, "Where there are people, there are losses. The ninja world is secretly investigating him; how could he not know that?"

Pain coldly stared at the two Jinchūriki with his Rinnegan and said in a cold voice, "Akatsuki doesn't have enough manpower, and now your identity has been exposed."

Masked Obito naturally understood the other party's meaning, and this time he made no attempt to hide it, saying directly in a deep voice, "Alright, I will join Akatsuki as a human experimenter for Konoha's Root."

In the original story, Obito remained hidden in the shadows, but this time, with his identity exposed, it became clear that he could no longer remain hidden, so he chose to join Akatsuki under a different identity.

After all, he possesses Wood Release and Sharingan, so this identity is both plausible and reasonable.

"The organization currently has five members: Sasori of the Red Sand, Kakuzu of the North Star, Konan of the White Tiger, and Zetsu of the Mysterious Sand. Including myself, that's only half the number of members we planned for the ten-person group."

Pain coldly revealed the current members of the organization, pointing out that it was half the size of the original ten-man group, leaving Obito speechless.

The members he initially targeted, Kisame and Juzo Biwa, both became Uchiha Yoru's. It's a pity that Uchiha Itachi and Shisui were such promising talents.

"Pain Zero and Konan White Tiger are in one group, I'll temporarily be in another group with Zetsu, and I already have intelligence candidates for the remaining two groups."

"Hidan of Yugakure possesses a mysterious, dark technique that allows him to form an immortal duo with Kakuzu. Deidara of Iwagakure can team up with Sasori."

Masked Obito simultaneously handed over the information on the two men, and Pain nodded expressionlessly upon seeing this.

"We've already collected two of the nine tailed beasts, leaving seven. That's a perfect eight-person team."

It was clear that neither of them had a suitable candidate at this point.

……

Leaf.

As time went by, the ninjas from Konoha and Kirigakure became increasingly integrated, especially the Kirigakure bloodline ninjas, who were practically unleashing their true hearts.

When both parties are willing, the integration happens quite quickly.

Inside the Hokage Building office.

The Fifth Mizukage is currently overseeing things in Kirigakure, while the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, has already made an excuse to go to the Fourth Division (Medical Department) and has slipped away.

Now only Uchiha Yoru remains in the office, and he has been entrusted with almost all the political affairs of the two great nations.

"Night, this mission?"

Kakashi Hatake, who had just entered the Hokage's office, revealed a puzzled look in one eye. Now, with the changes in Konoha, the dark aura of the former Anbu was almost completely gone from his body.

Kakashi now possesses the same imposing presence he had when he first appeared in the original work, with his relaxed white hair and the one eye that was visible often displaying a smile and a sense of helplessness.

Seeing Kakashi's puzzled expression, two shadow clones on either side were handling government affairs, while he stared solemnly at the Hokage Rock outside the window.

"Kakashi, if ninjas possess such great power, why are ninja villages still subject to the daimyo?"

Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat at those words. Looking at Uchiha Yoru, he was filled with seriousness. After thinking it over carefully, he spoke in a deep voice.

"Because ninjas are tools from the outset, users of powerful destructive abilities, but they do not engage in production. Moreover, the ninja world is mostly populated by civilians, and these civilians are the key to productivity."

"As you once said, most people have limited abilities. When ninjas are focused on gaining power, they cannot be distracted by anything else. The daimyo is the leader who governs most of the civilians in the country, just like the Hokage who governs the ninja villages."

Hearing Kakashi's explanation, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and even clapped his hands.

"Indeed, Kakashi, with your intelligence, you are more than capable of serving as the Kage of a village."

Faced with Uchiha Yoru's praise, Hatake Kakashi gave a wry smile, "Yoru, don't joke around. Although the daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Land of Water have been plotting something recently, it could cause turmoil if not handled properly."

Faced with Kakashi Hatake's concern, Yoru Uchiha couldn't help but smile, and instead posed a question that left Kakashi speechless and unable to explain.

"Then, if ninjas possess great power and hold a high position, why should they be subject to the daimyo? The daimyo is merely a ruler who governs the common people, just as a kage rules a ninja village. Why then should the daimyo gather onmyoji, samurai, and even professional ninja forces around them?"

Faced with this question, Kakashi Hatake remained silent for a long time before raising his head and saying softly, "Yesterday, the ninja monks of the Fire Temple are all over the Land of Fire, and there are also samurai trained by the Daimyo's Mansion. They are a force to be reckoned with."

"Yes, that's a force to be reckoned with," Uchiha Yoru agreed, then suddenly countered, "One country, two voices? What's going on, Kakashi? Can you tell me?"

Kakashi was at a loss for words and remained silent, while Uchiha Yoru's face gradually darkened with anger. He slammed his hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "This is splitting!"

Some readers have said that it's almost finished, and I'd like to say that it should be considered finished, with the ending time around August.

Some readers even told me to write more, not just five million words, but at least two or three million words.

┭┮﹏┭┮ Even the koi fish wants to, but if this happens, this book will have a good meal, but what about the next one? You'll see, wow~ it's that mediocre author again, and you'll just stop reading.

There's no way around it, I'm a lucky charm, so I can't sacrifice the future for temporary gains. I need to build a good reputation and keep working hard on my next book.

If you really asked Jinli to write, to be honest, he could easily write two million words, but it would be a bit padded. I hope you guys can understand.
