I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Ai took a deep breath and instructed, "Proceed with the notification according to the plan. Assemble all the ninjas in the village in one hour."

"Understood." Tsuchishiro nodded and began to make the arrangements.

Seeing this, Killer Bee, who was standing to the side, stopped being so playful and became unusually serious.

Then he saw his brother turn to him and say, "Bi, next it's up to you and Yukito."

For the Box of Bliss, the best source of chakra to consume is undoubtedly the massive amount of tailed beast chakra.

As the village's strategic weapon, Ai naturally wouldn't let the Box of Elysium completely devour the Jinchūriki. The village, having prepared in advance, also took countermeasures.

However, Killer Bee and Yugito will undoubtedly have to put in a lot of work to activate the Elysium Box.

Ai reminded Killer Bee at this time, also to give the other party a mental preparation.

"Understood! All for the sake of the Cloud Ninja!" Killer Bee smiled and raised his fist.

"Everything for the Cloud Ninja!" Upon seeing this, Ai also raised his fist.

The next second, their fists collided in mid-air with practiced ease, just as they had done countless times before.

......

Let's go back one day.

On the first day of the three-day preparation period following the conclusion of the Four Shadows Conference, the five nations of Earth, Wind, Water, Thunder, and Iron began their journey.

Konoha has also received a warning.

After all, with such a large-scale mobilization of personnel, supplies, and logistics, as long as one's own side isn't too incompetent, no matter how secretive the other side tries to be, they will eventually find out.

Thanks to the vast amount of intelligence gathered and rich past experience, Konoha quickly deduced that a great battle was imminent.

The start of the Fourth Shinobi World War was not surprising to Konoha, which was already mentally prepared.

The only question now is when the five countries will start a war.

This is the most important issue at present.

If they had known in advance, Konoha would undoubtedly have been able to prepare more thoroughly, thus gaining an advantage in the upcoming battles.

At this moment, the Konoha high-ranking officials, who still had no clue about this matter, were gathered in the Hokage's office to discuss it.

Meanwhile, the Shogun, the Fourth Hokage, Kumo-tei, who was the actual ruler of the Land of Fire, listened calmly to the heated debate among the high-ranking officials present.

One guess is half a month, another thinks it will be a week, and yet another simply says tomorrow...

Each side has its own reasons.

Even Yun Ting, to be honest, couldn't judge who was right.

However, he doesn't need to make a judgment.

Because I had already made my decision.

"Quiet."

Yun Ting, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

Although the tone of voice was normal, it was still heard by everyone present.

The previously noisy meeting room immediately returned to silence.

Facing the gazes of everyone, Yun Ting placed his hands on the table and slowly rose to his feet, saying:

"One day... three days... seven days... half a month... everyone's deductions have their own logic. But have you ever thought about why we should follow their timeline?"

"Since we're going to war, let's proceed according to our plan. I've made my decision!"

Instantly, the high-ranking officials present, such as Minato Namikaze, Shikaku Nara, Fugaku Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Hiashi Hyuga, straightened their backs and listened to orders with serious expressions.

Seeing this, Yun Ting nodded slightly and announced decisively:

"It's tomorrow! The Fourth Shinobi World War will be launched by Konoha first."

"I will personally lead a team of elite troops on a long-range raid."

"First battle, target: Hidden Cloud Village!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ting's fist slammed heavily onto the map of the ninja world on the table, marking the Land of Lightning as its territory.

The flames of war will officially ignite here!

Chapter 231 Yun Ting's Rinnegan

No matter how many routes they come from, I will only go one way.

This is a famous saying by a certain Mr. Wild Boarskin, which has been praised by later generations as a magic weapon for invincibility.

No matter how true the claim of being invincible is.

Yun Ting, however, intends to learn from this strategy, turn the passive situation into the active one, launch an attack in advance, and not follow the enemy's lead.

Although the war will begin tomorrow, Konoha is certainly not well prepared due to the haste.

But the Five Nations Alliance, forced to move forward prematurely, ended up with the same result.

Starting on the same footing, the Land of Fire, which is already nearly semi-industrialized, has a significantly faster mobilization capacity than other countries.

This is undoubtedly an advantage for our side.

Furthermore, the Land of Fire is currently in a much better situation than that of Mr. Boar Skin.

There's no need to go all in like the latter.

Given the current situation of Yunyin Village, Yun Ting personally leading a group of elite troops would be enough to annihilate the former's forces.

The remaining majority of Konoha's forces are responsible for defending against attacks from earth, wind, water, and iron.

By taking advantage of the time difference brought about by the preemptive strike, Yun Ting eliminated the Yun Ren faction before the other four countries could react in time, thus freeing up more manpower when facing other enemies.

The plan is set.

The high-ranking officials in the Hokage's office immediately sprang into action.

People like Minato Namikaze, Shisui Uchiha, and Tsunade were immediately dispatched to the battlefields already designated by the Land of Fire to serve as frontline commanders and defend against the enemy.

Meanwhile, the faction that remained behind, led by Shikaku Nara, needed to quickly begin logistical support.

Konoha Village was busier than ever that night.

This situation naturally attracted the attention of the villagers.

Among them, spies from other countries, with their keener senses, noticed something amiss. Just as they were about to quickly send back intelligence, they discovered that Konoha's entrances and exits were already under martial law.

Without the Hokage's order, neither ninjas nor civilians are allowed to leave their homes.

Moreover, a newly established massive transparent barrier completely envelops Konoha Village, not only closely monitoring all personnel coming and going, but also isolating information transmission methods such as summoning jutsu.

"War is coming!"

Having experienced World War II and World War III, some of the elders of Konoha who were very familiar with war had already guessed the reason.

They weren't particularly afraid of this.

After all, there have been many wars in the past where one person fought against many.

Now, Konoha is stronger than ever before, and with a new God of Shinobi in the village, their confidence is naturally greater than ever before.

At this moment, Kumo-ting, who is now revered by the villagers of Konoha as the new god of the ninja world, is moving towards an even higher level of this title.

With the overall strategy set and everyone fulfilling their duties, Yun Ting, who had some free time, began to attend to his own affairs.

After instructing the Shadow Guards not to let outsiders in for the time being, Yun Ting took out two sealed test tubes containing blood from his ninja bag.

The blood here belongs to Naruto, the reincarnation of Ashura, and Sasuke, the reincarnation of Indra.

After his battle with Madara Uchiha, Yun Ting realized that he needed to improve his strength and decided to exchange for the Rinnegan upon his return.

It's just that a lot of reputation points were used up when the Immortal Body was completed in previous years. Although there have been supplements since then, there is still a small gap between the Immortal Body and the Immortal Eye.

Reputation points increase at a slower rate as you progress, since not everyone can be like Kai, constantly harvesting resources while maintaining the same level of profit.

Just like when you already have a high reputation in someone's heart, whatever you do afterward, although the other person will still support you, they won't be as excited as they were at the beginning.

If Yun Ting continues to limit his influence to Konoha and does not expand to the entire Land of Fire, it is likely that he will have to wait an indefinite amount of time to complete his Sage Body.

Now that he has the entire Land of Fire as his base, although he was still short of some reputation points to exchange for the Rinnegan, Yun Ting visited the Land of Fire a few days ago to inspect the military deployment and specifically visited the people's livelihood, which increased his reputation. In addition, with other income every day, he finally raised the last bit of reputation at the last moment.

"It's time!"

Yun Ting looked expectantly at the two blood-filled test tubes in front of him. After silently saying "System" in his mind, the blood in the test tubes immediately disappeared.

Then, an unprecedentedly powerful force surged into his eyes.

moment!

His own aura began to leak out uncontrollably.

Having anticipated this, Yun Ting quickly slapped the table, and the next second a barrier enveloped his office, isolating it from the outside world.

After that, Yun Ting stopped suppressing it and allowed the newly emerging immense power to transform his eyes. At the same time, the leaked aura caused things in the office to fly around like a tangible object.

One minute later.

When everything calmed down and Yun Ting opened his eyes again, he could see everything more clearly than before.

This is only a negligible improvement compared to ordinary eyes after awakening the Rinnegan.

Soon, Yun Ting walked to a full-length mirror that had been prepared in the office and looked at himself in the mirror.

He has the same appearance as Madara Uchiha, and his Rinnegan is also purple and swirling.

"Is this the power of the Rinnegan?"

Afterwards, feeling the newfound power within his body, Yun Ting spoke with a faint joy.

After awakening the Rinnegan, the user can automatically master the transformations of the five chakra natures and also control yin and yang.

Although he had already been involved in this area, the comprehensive enhancement brought by the Rinnegan would undoubtedly allow him to reach a new level of understanding of chakra.

Furthermore, as the most important Rinnegan technique, the Child Technique is different from the one that Nagato needed to train hard to master.

Now, as the true owner of the second pair of Rinnegan in the ninja world, Yun Ting quickly investigated and mastered everything after a brief inquiry.
