Iori told the truth in a somewhat ambiguous way.
"Then what should we do?" Tsunade calmed down upon hearing this, wanting to hear Iori's plan.
Shisui and Shizune listened silently, waiting for Iori's answer.
"I plan to use Konoha as the core to initially awaken the collective consciousness of humanity in the ninja world, and to construct the Throne of Heroes within it," Iori said calmly.
"The Throne of Heroes can collect the souls of the dead and awaken the deceased of the past, provided that they possess sufficient power or merit."
"Therefore, I must become the Hokage of Konoha to have the rank and resources to accomplish this." Iori's words were firm and resolute.
Tsunade frowned upon hearing this. Putting aside the fact that the Senju clan had retreated to the second line after the deaths of many members and no longer had enough influence, even if they still did, it would be difficult for Tsunade to persuade them to support an Uchiha.
Moreover, although Iori has some prestige and has earned a title in the ninja world, he still has no advantage over Orochimaru. Under normal circumstances, the possibility of Iori rising to the top is very low.
“It’s not the Fourth Hokage, it’s the Fifth Hokage. I’m patient and the crisis won’t happen so suddenly.” Iori noticed Tsunade’s distress and comforted her.
Shisui stepped forward, his gaze resolute, and said, "I will help you become the clan leader, Iori-nii."
He was prepared to help Iori rise to power, even if it meant getting his clansmen's blood on his hands.
"Don't rush. I'm telling you the truth because I hope you'll recognize my ideals and become my strength," Iori said earnestly, looking at them.
"Alaya and humanity are one. I want to unify the ninja world, bring peace, and allow the ninja world to develop."
"The birth of Konoha's Alaya is only the first step. The next step is to gain wider recognition and transform Konoha's Alaya into the Alaya of the ninja world."
“Then make humanity stronger, so that Alaya will also become stronger,” Iori said earnestly.
What Iori didn't say was that, as the sole guardian of the ninja world, he would merge with Alaya after its birth, or he would become Alaya's will.
After that, as long as humanity in the ninja world does not perish, he will be immortal; the stronger humanity in the ninja world becomes, the stronger he will become.
Chapter 61 XX's skill at making empty promises is unparalleled in the world.
Uchiha Iori awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan and, through genjutsu, showed Tsunade and the other two his ideal future.
Sunlight streamed through the glass curtain walls of the high-rise buildings, illuminating the wide streets.
The trees lining both sides of the street are neatly arranged, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
The ninjas used various escape techniques to keep the city running.
In the distance, skyscrapers rise from the ground, while strange metal vehicles drive smoothly on the roads.
In the park on the street corner, children played and frolicked on the playground equipment, their laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells.
Tsunade and the other two stared at the scene before them speechlessly for a long time. It was the first time they had ever seen such a clear and beautiful vision of the future.
While ninjas in the ninja world are also good at making empty promises, their skills are incomparable to those of modern people.
The Will of Fire, revered as the golden rule in Konoha, is riddled with flaws in the eyes of modern people.
The days spent studying at Konoha Academy forced a shut-in to become an actor.
“In the world I envision, ninjas are no longer weapons of war, but part of the productive forces. Their power is no longer just for killing, but is more suitable for construction.”
"The elderly can be cared for, and the children don't have to go to the battlefield. Even if they don't become combat ninjas, they can still have a bright future."
Iori calmly addressed their plans, and under the aura of the illusion, her words carried particular weight.
A modern person might think Iori is just making empty promises, saying, "Look at this pie, it's so big and round."
But people in the ninja world buy into this: ideals and peace, children and the future.
Tsunade and the other two were filled with emotion, but they didn't show it to Iori. Instead, they asked him about the follow-up work.
-----------------
After discussing the matter with Iori, the group left separately.
Tsunade pulled Shizune along, and casually took Iori's blanket and bed with her.
After sitting for a while, Tsunade fell in love with the soft touch.
In terms of enjoyment, modern technology far surpasses the level of technology Japan possessed around the same time in modern times.
Tsunade casually tossed the blanket onto Shizune, then easily lifted the bed, greeted Iori, and left.
Looking at her messy tent, Iori sighed helplessly and silently projected a new bed and blankets, restoring the tent to its original state.
“Let’s project modern appliances onto her residence later,” Iori said, scratching his head.
"Otherwise, if she takes a fancy to something else, my tent will be doomed again."
After getting away from Iori's tent, Shizune couldn't help but whisper to Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, do you think what Lady Iori said is true?"
Tsunade smiled slightly and asked in return, "What is his demand?"
Shizune thought for a moment and replied, "To become Hokage, unify the ninja world, and bring peace."
Tsunade nodded, then asked her, "How is this different from what we discussed before?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Shizune realized that whether or not Iori said these things, it wouldn't affect Tsunade and the others' support for Iori.
Jingyin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then why did he say all that?"
Tsunade pondered for a moment and slowly said, "It's simply to give us some background information so that we can be prepared if something happens."
She paused for a moment and then spoke to Jingyin.
"Shizune, at Konoha Hospital, you can start by tentatively trying to win over some people. Regardless of whether it's true or not, we need to be prepared."
“I also plan to secretly gather the Senju clan members and former subordinates; we must set an example.”
Tsunade isn't love-struck; she only cares about the outcome. As long as Konoha is getting better, she will never betray Iori.
Shizune nodded, and the two returned together to their cave dwelling.
-----------------
After leaving, Uchiha Shisui came to the river alone.
He stood on the bank, his gaze fixed on the gently flowing river, and he could faintly hear the laughter of his companions celebrating the arrival of peace in the distance.
Shisui recalled what Iori had said and the scene in his illusion, and his resolve was strengthened once again.
I will help Iori complete his plan, no matter who the enemy is.
Even if the enemy is the Sage of Six Paths or members of the Uchiha clan, I will not show any mercy.
In Shisui's eyes, the tomoe spun wildly, and the pattern of the Mangekyou Sharingan clearly appeared.
After his vision extended beyond a single clan and village, Shisui suppressed his tenderness and compassion deep within his heart.
He slowly drew his sword, its blade gleaming coldly, reflecting his resolute face.
His scarlet eyes were filled with unwavering determination. He realized that his past focus on his family and village had been far too narrow-minded.
Ninjas are not tools for fighting; they are living, breathing human beings, loved by others and loving others in return.
So now there's only one answer: I will pledge my loyalty to Iori.
As Shisui continued to ponder and strengthen his beliefs, his eye power grew even stronger.
The Uchiha clan truly thrives on adversity, and Shisui, who went to extremes, became increasingly powerful.
-----------------
After tidying up the tent, Iori went to Tsunade's residence to find her.
He pushed open the door and saw Tsunade looking at him warily. She said, "This bed and blanket are mine now. Don't even think about taking them back."
Iori rolled her eyes, as if she had awakened the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit.
He chuckled in exasperation and said, "I'm not that petty. I'm planning to renovate this place for you, making it look like mine, and I'll also prepare a bed and blanket for Jingyin."
After hearing this, Tsunade hesitated for a moment and said, "The war has gone on like this for so long, the Sand Village will soon sue for peace, and we'll probably be going back soon. It shouldn't be this troublesome, right?"
"After Sunagakure sends someone to sue for peace, and we finish discussing the terms, it will probably take at least half a month, assuming everyone can reach an agreement."
"If there are disagreements, the process will take longer. Are you sure you don't want to use it?"
Tsunade thought about it for a moment, and since he was her boyfriend anyway, she figured she might as well take advantage of him, so she nodded.
After Tsunade agreed, Iori used projection magic to project various modern electrical appliances.
Tsunade pointed to the machine on the wall and asked, "What is this?"
"Cheese Snow Leopard... Pshaw, this is an air conditioner, it can regulate the temperature."
Tsunade's gaze then shifted to a silver object on the table: "What about this?"
"This is a kettle; it can be used to boil water."
Tsunade continued to look around, her gaze landing on a ceramic device in the corner: "And this too?"
"This is a toilet, used for sitting to use the toilet."
Tsunade looked around the newly renovated bedroom and suddenly became curious about Iori's life in his previous life.
"What kind of person were you in your past life, and what kind of life did you live?"
Iori's expression changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
He lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said to Tsunade, "This is a long and boring story. Are you sure you want to hear it?"
Tsunade nodded, and Shizune, upon hearing this, consciously went outside and stood in the doorway.
Chapter 62: I used to fight to avoid being changed by the world; now I fight to make the world submit to me.
Uchiha Iori sat down on the sofa and calmly began to recount the uninteresting life of a man named Izumi.
An ordinary birth, an ordinary upbringing, an ordinary job, and a sudden death.
The boy, once full of dreams, accepted everything after realizing his own powerlessness and understanding his mediocrity.
They lived like machines, earning meager wages, day after day, year after year.
The ideals and passions of the past have long been worn away by time, and even a kind heart has gradually disappeared amidst deception and betrayal.
Until one day, Death came to his door and extended an invitation to him.
He passed away peacefully, and Yi Zhi's life came to an end.
