Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 246 Madara: Izuna, it's been a long time.

"Not bad, you guys are quick."

Inside the Hokage's office in Konoha Village.

Yuri looked at the report in her hand, smiled and nodded, while Nara Shikaku smiled modestly and did not answer.

During the time Yuzhi was away, his wooden clone was not idle; it was dedicated to promoting wartime economic policies.

To be honest, when he played Hearts of Iron, things weren't so complicated; it was just a manual switching setting.

But when he actually came into contact with all of this, he discovered that there were far more troubles than he had imagined.

Of course, if a real fight breaks out, there are many things he needs to consider.

In "Hearts of Iron," he only had to consider the working-age population, factory output, and the morale and organization of the troops.

As for casualties and such, they were not his concern at all; if necessary, he could simply 'drain them dry'.

But a game is just a game. In reality, if you don't consider the casualties, the consequences are unimaginable.

Moreover, in the game, he wouldn't even give a medical role in the support category, but in reality, he really wished every squad had a medical ninja.

Fortunately, Konoha has many talented people, and with everyone working together, many problems were not as difficult to solve as they had imagined.

At least within Konoha, Nara Shikaku helped him solve many of his problems.

Nara Shikaku has always kept a low profile over the years, or rather, he has never been the type of person who likes to show off. He prefers to quietly do his own thing well.

Moreover, Konoha now has a large council of elders. Although the Third Hokage and others are old, their abilities are still quite good.

The first and second generation have even crawled out of their graves, and the former fourth generation is now full of energy.

With so many Hokage gathered together, it's sometimes really difficult for him, a mere Minister of Political Affairs, to say anything.

Fortunately, his abilities are reliable, and Yuri trusts him a lot, entrusting him with many tasks, which helps him understand his own role.

"Then, I'll leave the execution to you."

Yui handed the document back to Shikaku before continuing.

"I hope you can get these things done as soon as possible. We can use more ninjas to assist in the operation. As long as we can get this done quickly, that's all that matters."

"Hokage-sama, no problem."

Shikaku nodded immediately, but he was still somewhat worried.

"However, Lord Hokage, the Land of Fire is definitely not a problem, but the cooperation in other places may need to be considered."

Over the past three years, although our publicity efforts have been very effective, there have always been malicious individuals who have tried to sabotage us. If this continues...

"This matter is easy to handle."

Haori knew what Shikaku was worried about, so he tapped the table and then smiled.

"Shisui, how is the police department's preparation going?"

"Lord Hokage, the police department is ready to be deployed at any time."

Zhishui stepped out from behind the crowd and spoke with utmost seriousness.

As one of the "Uchiha Three Giants," Shisui could have participated in the Konoha High Ninja Meeting long ago, but he rarely came himself.

After all, as far as he was concerned, Yuki was already the Hokage, so he could just go directly to him and give orders.

Besides, over the years, he has come to understand many of the intricacies of the situation. The presence of so many Uchiha at the high-level meetings means that Yuuki's decisions will receive more votes, which will cause concern among others.

Therefore, he simply doesn't attend meetings unless absolutely necessary, and only participates when the problem is truly serious, like this time.

"Then send out the prepared personnel."

Yuzhi smiled and nodded, then spoke.

"If we use the secret service for this kind of thing, it might cause panic, but if the police department does it, everything will be much better."

The police department's system will inevitably be rolled out in the future. Let them adapt gradually, and at the same time, while maintaining our operations, train their local police officers.

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Shisui nodded. Although Yuzhi had already told him about these things, it was still necessary to emphasize them in front of everyone as part of the procedure.

Yuri's idea was clear: to install the police department's system in all the ninja villages and even towns throughout the ninja world!

This requires training a large number of police officers and deploying a large number of police officers.

This was a challenge for Shisui, but he was still very confident.

In addition, to avoid problems with the management system below, a large number of job transfers are inevitable.

Since we're going to merge, let's go for a full-scale merger. In the future, a large number of people from other villages will inevitably come to Konoha to take up positions.

People from Konoha and other villages were rotated to different villages, which indirectly promoted the integration process.

This wasn't exactly an easy task, but it was something that had to be done.

"Alright, now that these things are ready, I think we should also talk about some other serious matters."

Yuzhi nodded to Shisui, and then he spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Gentlemen, the war is about to begin. I hope you can be mentally prepared and have realistic expectations."

This time, if we're going to do something, we must do it well and make it big. Most importantly, you must be prepared to fight those Otsutsuki.

According to reliable intelligence, the Otsutsuki clan has already arrived.

"What?"

"Have they arrived yet?"

"This news is indeed true."

"Looks like this is really troublesome."

Yuzhi's words caused the four Hokage, who were listening quietly to the side, to exchange bewildered glances. This news was truly shocking!

However, while they were taken aback, they also had a certain amount of anticipation, as they wanted to find out exactly what kind of strength these Otsutsuki possessed.

Furthermore, is everything they prepared effective?

This time, they didn't say anything about "why not stop and focus on fighting the enemy," because they knew what they needed to do.

Compared to thinking about those Otsutsuki with one's own mindset, perhaps Hagoromo, who has dealt with and even defeated the Otsutsuki, is the most qualified to speak on this matter.

"However, this time we should be able to get some exercise."

Although Hashirama felt a pang of regret, he quickly broke into a smile.

"I don't know, how are things going with the Akatsuki? Do they know what to do?"

"Don't worry, they all know."

Yuzhi nodded directly. He knew that what Hashirama wanted to ask was actually Madara, so Yuzhi didn't hide it and smiled as he answered.

"Everyone is ready. After all, this is for our own home, and no one will let their guard down."

"That's good, I understand."

Hashirama nodded, now seemingly more interested in all of this.

After all, he had already reached a 'reconciliation' three years ago, and now he wants to fight alongside Madara, which is what he is most looking forward to right now!

"However, Hokage-sama, can you guarantee the location of the battle?"

Compared to Hashirama, Minato's biggest concern at this time was the issue of casualties.

"Once you start fighting, many things will be out of control, and casualties will be a thorny issue that we will have to face."

Hokage-sama, I hope you will consider this matter carefully.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Yuzhi nodded slightly. He had already thought this through and knew what he needed to do.

"This time, we're bound to have a good outcome."

-

"Lord Madara, is it finally time to make a move?"

In a basement on the outskirts of Sunagakure, a variant of White Zetsu looked at Madara with a slightly excited expression and spoke.

The White Zetsu were originally controlled by Black Zetsu. However, after Black Zetsu was used as nourishment to heal Obito, Madara, who was already the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, naturally became the true master of these White Zetsu.

How can we build a formidable fighting force that can cause trouble for Konoha while simultaneously giving them the confidence to unleash their full potential?

After much thought, it seems that only these White Zetsu can do all of this!

These White Zetsu are numerous, and although they are not strong, they are tenacious and fearless of death. Madara is very clear about these characteristics, and he also understands why the Goddess of the Rabbit wanted to use them as cannon fodder.

Now, Madara has decided to make good use of them, since in some ways these White Zetsu are very difficult to kill!

"As long as the Ten-Tails' chakra can cover them, and we negotiate with Hagoromo to retrieve them, we can keep producing them."

Having figured all this out, Madara naturally began preparing to continuously replicate and create these White Zetsu.

His execution ability and personal strength are truly incomparable to that guy Obito. Obito only created 100,000 White Zetsu, but that doesn't mean there were only that many White Zetsu.

Without considering quality issues or the need for a human body as a basis, he can create even more!

"Yes, it's time to make a move."

Madara nodded indifferently, as if time had returned to the time in the cave in the Land of Grass, when he was surrounded by these idiotic White Zetsu.

Moreover, it was only after he truly mastered these White Zetsu that he became frustrated to discover the connection between himself and these White Zetsu through chakra.

This feeling was something he had never experienced before, which made him realize once again how stupid he had been to not even notice this.

"Good riddance! It's a pity I couldn't strangle you with my own hands!"

Madara cursed Black Zetsu in his mind again before looking at White Zetsu.

"How's the preparation going with the people I asked you to get ready?"

"Preparations are almost complete. Those people have pretty good Wood Release abilities, you know. And the items that Master asked me to order are also ready."

White Zetsu had no idea what Madara was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care, since he was now completely devoted to Madara's orders.

As for Madara's task, it was quite simple: to assemble several White Zetsu with sufficient strength to unleash Wood Release power just like him.

After all, we need to fight those ninjas, so it's only natural that we need some powerful White Zetsu. We can't all be like wood, only good at being tough and having no other abilities, right?

Of course, besides these White Zetsu who could use Wood Release, he also did one other thing: he created a White Zetsu with decent physical strength.

He wondered what this White Zetsu did, but he had a habit of asking directly when he had a question.

"Lord Madara, are you planning to resurrect someone using the Impure World Reincarnation technique? With such a strong body, he must have been incredibly powerful in his previous life, right?"

"Yes, that's really impressive."

Madara glanced at the White Zetsu, thought for a moment, and then decided not to hide anything and spoke directly.

"That's my younger brother. He's been asleep for a very, very long time. Now I think it's time to wake him up and let him see the world, and also to ask him some questions."

"Lord Madara has a younger brother?"

Bai Jue blinked, then continued to ask curiously.

"Is Lord Madara's younger brother powerful?"

"Alright, you'll know when he wakes up. Why ask so many questions?"

Madara glanced at the White Zetsu with displeasure. He felt that this guy talked too much, although he was used to the guy's personality, which was like that of a child.

But sometimes, mischievous kids can be just as destructive.

"Go do your thing, and bring me that prepared body."

"Yes, yes, yes, Lord Madara."

White Zetsu nodded immediately. Without asking Madara why he was in such a hurry, he went straight underground.

"Izuna, it's been so long."

As he watched White Zetsu disappear, Madara muttered to himself; he was a man of action from beginning to end.

After accepting Yugi's suggestion, he returned to the ninja world, carefully observed the situation, and informed Nagato of the matters that needed attention.

He had already begun preparing to use the Impure World Reincarnation to awaken his younger brother. To be honest, he was extremely excited, even to the point of feeling anxious.

He worried that Izuna wouldn't be able to accept that he was completely incapable of handling the future crisis of the ninja world, and he also felt guilty towards Izuna, after all, he had broken his promise and abandoned the Uchiha clan.

Even though the Uchiha clan has quietly grown into what can be called the most powerful clan in the ninja world, the clan's character has been completely changed.

Gone is the arrogance of the past, the brutality and overt pride have faded, replaced by a sense of peace that has blended into Konoha, and a pride that comes from the heart.

Whether this change is good or bad is hard to say. After all, it gave Madara a sense of unfamiliarity, and this change was not led by Madara, which made him quite sigh.

"Hopefully, Izuna can accept all of this. At least the family is getting better and better now."

Ban muttered a few words to himself, but he quickly calmed down. Although he was somewhat flustered, he knew that this was the last thing he could do at this moment.

After all, there are still many things in the ninja world that he needs to deal with, and he still has a major battle to face later.

"We should focus our main efforts on the major battles, and take things slowly on the others."

"Izuna, I hope you can help me this time. If you really can't, then I'll wait until I create a peaceful world before waking you up!"

-

With the introduction of Konoha's war reform system, changes began to occur in all areas of the ninja world under Konoha's control.

The establishment of departments like the police force, in particular, brought a different experience to residents of other villages.

Fortunately, everyone was quite accepting of it, and nothing serious happened.

After all, Konoha's publicity has been consistently effective over the years, with movies, books, and even television programs all achieving great results.

Before Yuzhi transmigrated, he knew that public opinion was a high ground that needed to be captured no matter what, and he had always done so, and now it was proving very effective.

After all, in previous propaganda, the police department has always been portrayed as playing a huge role in Konoha.

As members of the Konoha Police Department were mobilized, base stations were set up in various locations, and ninjas were recruited from them.

This moment ignited the enthusiasm of countless people, after all, everyone knows just how good the benefits are in the police department!

Moreover, Konoha left a good impression on these ninjas who did not choose to resist, and treated them the same as Konoha's own ninjas.

This is just like what you see in movies and books: Konoha really treats them as one of their own, without any discrimination whatsoever.

Furthermore, after being occupied by Konoha, their lives improved day by day, even though sometimes they had no choice but to take action against their former comrades who had now become rebelling ninjas.

But their current living conditions and the living standards of their families make them willing to do this.

"After all, they were originally the same kind of people. If the First Hokage could have united them, he should have, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out this way!"

Hashirama was once again blamed, and even the number of people in the ninja world who criticized him gradually increased, which made Hashirama quite helpless.

But he was a magnanimous person after all, and influenced by the influence of the Haori Kakudo and the Sage of Six Paths' plan, he didn't argue about anything.

Seeing the current harmonious internal situation, he was quite pleased, and his will to fight became even stronger.

"I will protect all of this; it's what we should protect most!"

Meanwhile, the police department was carrying out its operations, constantly selecting suitable personnel to join, and then spreading the spirit of insane competition throughout the entire ninja world.

Many ninjas have also noticed that there seem to be a large number of enemies active in the desert region on the border of the Land of Wind!

The Land of Wind is no longer the same as before, shrouded in vast deserts. Neither Yuki nor the people of Konoha would allow such a thing to happen.

As for the problems in the Land of Wind, the improvements that Haori and the others made were quite simple.

Let those skilled in Wood Release attack together, whether it's to showcase their strength or to take this opportunity to hone their skills.

After all, there are quite a few people in Konoha who know Wood Release, and it is worth discussing how powerful some of their Wood Release techniques can actually be.

Take Tsunade for example. Even though she used Wood Release when she and Jiraiya fought against Onoki, she only used Wood Release once.

Another point is that there's been basically no screen time for Tenzo, who hasn't left the Anbu yet, so his Wood Release hasn't had much opportunity to be showcased.

Moreover, compared to its destructive power, his Wood Release technique is probably more significant in terms of planting trees and creating forests.

With the help of a group of Wood Release ninjas, and Earth Release ninjas digging water channels, the abundant water resources of the Land of Rain were transported to the Land of Wind.

The Land of Wind underwent a dramatic transformation. The former desert was visibly transformed into an oasis, a change that brought immense joy to the people of the Land of Wind.

They themselves didn't know how long they had lived in the wind and desert, and they truly longed for a fertile land where they could live and work in peace.

Now, Konoha has accomplished all of this. Konoha has truly changed their lives, and their support for Konoha is the most genuine and unwavering!

However, the Land of Winds is indeed quite large, and its desert coverage is extremely high.

Even with Konoha deploying a significant number of Wood Release ninjas, achieving complete greening without Hashirama's personal involvement is no easy task.

Moreover, the improvement of the sandy land is not something that can be achieved overnight. Fortunately, they all understand this, and they spontaneously maintain it.

As a result, they immediately noticed the commotion on the border of the Wind Kingdom.

Such commotion was immediately reported to Konoha, and Konoha immediately began to mobilize ninjas. This made the entire ninja world realize that a great war was approaching!

"Is the final battle finally about to begin?"

Faced with this news, everyone in the ninja world had different feelings.

Some people are complicated; after all, they still feel a pang of conscience when it comes to killing their former comrades without any pressure.

However, amidst the complexity, they also longed for it all to end.

Three years is hardly a peaceful time in the ninja world. Perhaps only by becoming part of Konoha or the Land of Fire can one find peace.

Now that all of this is coming to an end, it might be a good thing for them.

Time passed quietly, and within just a few days of discovering the unusual activity in the Land of Wind, the entire ninja world underwent earth-shattering changes.

The benefits of integrating the entire ninja world were immediately apparent.

In just a few days, Konoha assembled a massive army in the ninja world.

This force is a powerful unit that can almost control the resources of the entire ninja world, coordinate supplies from all sides, and mobilize all battles in the ninja world!

Such extravagant military equipment was astonishing even to Konoha, which was already quite wealthy.

"It seems I was absolutely right to be criticized. The establishment of the ninja village is truly a terrifying war organization."

Hashirama stared at the intelligence report in his hand, his mind buzzing.

As the founder of the ninja village, even after three years of war, this exaggerated scene still terrified him.

"Tch, I asked you to unify the ninja world back then, but you refused."

Tobirama shook his head unhappily and said with his arms crossed.

"If you had done it back then, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble now."

"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore; it's pointless."

Yuri interrupted the second-generation leader in time, handing over the documents in his hand and then said.

"The past is over, now we need to look to the future."

In this battle, you two will probably need to provide reinforcements at any time and act according to circumstances, since our enemy is quite troublesome.

However, such a war isn't without its benefits; after all, it can accelerate our current integration process.

In the chaos of war, with its terrifying power threatening everyone, self-preservation is the instinct of all humankind.

Throughout history, there have been numerous instances where opposing sides have banded together due to a single, significant threat.

Years later, the opposing factions disappeared, and the two former tribes merged into one.

Before his time travel, Yuzhi had watched some similar anime, such as the only one he had ever watched in its entirety, Gundam 00, in which the "Celestials" wanted to use this method.

Of course, those people wanted peace, but in reality, they also promoted the integration of the Earth Alliance.

"Okay, I understand."

Before Hashirama could nod, Tobirama took the document, glanced at it, and then spoke.

"Are you guarding these Jinchūriki? Are you planning to use them as bait? Do you think aliens will fall for that?"

"As the power of the Ten-Tails, the value of the Tailed Beasts is actually much higher than you imagine."

Yuri smiled. She looked down on the tailed beasts because they were strong enough, but their value could not be ignored.

"Moreover, if the Jinchuriki really unleashes their full power, they can achieve an extremely high synchronization rate with their host, or these Tailed Beasts may have some kind of 'sacrifice'."

So the power they can exert is not necessarily less than ours, and in a short period of time, we may not even be able to deal with them.

However, such a Jinchūriki is probably hard to find in the entire ninja world; at least, there isn't one yet.

Hagoromo acknowledges the power of Jinchūriki; at least he finds it hard to deny the strength of Naruto's Jinchūriki.

Unfortunately, in this world, Naruto's dream of becoming the strongest Jinchūriki is over.

Although Yuzhi felt somewhat regretful, he didn't dwell on these issues too much.

"Since you put it that way, then let's do as you say."

Without hesitation, Tobirama took the scroll, turned around, and left with his older brother.

War is now almost imminent, and troops have already been deployed to the front lines; he needs to keep up.

Although the war zone is temporarily planned in the desert on the border of the Land of Wind, it is still very important to make all the necessary preparations.

"Oh, right, the second generation."

Just as Tobirama turned to leave, Haori suddenly called out to him with a smile.

"What's wrong?"

Tobirama turned his head in confusion, only to see Haori grinning mischievously.

"While it's hard to say exactly what the situation is over there, you might just run into an old friend this time."

old friend?

Tobirama raised an eyebrow. His "old friends" were all enemies; he had no expectation of encountering any old friends.

Slow!

Suddenly, Tobirama seemed to realize something. According to Hagoromo, it was hard to say that his old friend might be that guy.

Meanwhile, in a basement in the desert.

Ban watched as the filthy paper fluttered in front of him, eventually coalescing into a human-shaped figure, his gaze somewhat complicated.

When the figure opened his eyes, he looked around blankly until he saw Ban in front of him, at which point his gaze slowly returned to normal.

At this moment, Ban revealed a rare, tender smile, and then spoke softly.

"Long time no see, Izuna."
