Uchiha's personal opinion

"...Even within the family, there are quite a few people who are weary of war."

Uchiha Nakagen, who was sitting on the side, also spoke up.

"Changing people's hearts is always a thankless and arduous task."

Elder Shaka shook his head helplessly: "The family is getting worse with each generation!"

"However, Zhongxuan and Huimiko, your greatest achievement in this life is becoming Tokumitsu-kun. Otherwise, if the cowardly Fugaku from the Shika family were to take over, the family would be finished!"

"...Fugaku is actually alright."

Uchiha Nakagen, who was honored as the Emperor Emeritus, smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"He's just a guy with a fierce face but an indecisive heart. Even if he manages to awaken the Kaleidoscope, so what? He's just a useless piece of trash who doesn't dare to unleash his power!"

Elder Sha Na snorted: "His child is said to have some talent, but that guy is still hiding it. I don't know what he's afraid of!"

"Could it be that Lord Deguang would harm him?!"

"...You mean Itachi, the eldest son of the Fugaku family?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was taken aback upon hearing this.

Oh right, it seems I haven't really heard much about Itachi Uchiha's exploits!

According to his past life memories, Itachi should have shown 'precocity' and talent at a very young age!

"never mind……"

As the bells rang in the council hall, Uchiha Tokumitsu temporarily abandoned his speculation: "Next, it's time to officially announce the existence of the new world."

"...Can we win?"

Suddenly, Elder Shana couldn't help but ask a question.

"what?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

These words don't seem like something Elder Setsuna would say!

"Actually, I understand the feelings of those clansmen, but it's just that the clan's power is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. They have no other choice..."

At this moment, Elder Sha Na finally spoke his mind.

"Elder, have I ever lost?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu smiled broadly.

……

"Everyone stand up!"

As members of the royal family slowly entered the parliament hall, led by Speaker Hatake Sakumo, all the members of parliament rose together to pay their respects to the Great Emperor and Grand Regent Uchiha Tokumitsu.

The agenda for this joint parliament is divided into three parts: the Ninja World Government's work report, the Ninja World's investigation and analysis report, and the upcoming imperial tutelage.

"Since its establishment, the Shinobi World Government has achieved remarkable results in governance. Public order has been basically stable in various regions, and the production of civilians has gradually returned to normal. All of this is commendable..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke slowly.

The council chamber was solemn as everyone listened quietly to the 'Imperial Voice'.

"But behind the prosperity and stability, there are hidden dangers that cannot be ignored, and I believe that all members of parliament can see this in the report and draw a definite conclusion..."

"That means the ecosystem of the ninja world is in imminent danger!"

"A severely damaged environment will inevitably be unable to support the growing population's needs in peacetime; this is a problem we must face."

"Whether ninjas can maintain their dominance over the world in future eras is also a very important question."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone turned sinister: "We will not allow another Sage of Six Paths to appear..."

The parliament hall was in commotion for a moment, then returned to solemn silence.

Although this statement seemed somewhat disrespectful to the Sage of Six Paths, the origin of ninjas, there were no fanatical followers of the Sage of Six Paths among the ninjas who were confident in their own strength. Furthermore, considering the implication of 'ninjas ruling for thousands of generations' expressed in Uchiha Tokumitsu's words, the councilors accepted the statement without much qualms.

Moreover, even Uchiha Tokumitsu, the strongest ninja in the world, was willing to speak to them politely, so what more do they want?

"However, an opportunity has presented itself to us..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone suddenly became high-pitched.

The members of parliament were immediately intrigued.

They also realized that what was about to be revealed was the 'major resolution that would affect the course of ninja history' that the council had announced to everyone on the eve of the meeting.

"The New World..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke slowly.

Most of the lawmakers, unaware of the inside story, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Behind the hurricane barrier in the East China Sea, across the stormy seas, lies a whole new world!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu continued, "A beautiful new world, so rich that even the seafood from a single sea area can sustain everyone in the ninja world!"

The parliament hall erupted in uproar!

"Similarly, it is also a new world inhabited by powerful indigenous people!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu changed the subject.

The parliament hall immediately fell silent.

The political ninja in charge of the meeting hall began distributing materials, and the councilors eagerly began reading them.

After a moment of looking at each other and whispering, the council hall returned to silence, and all eyes were on Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Even Kakuzu, who considered himself heartless, was no exception.

Those who can become Jonin are not fools; they naturally understand what this means.

Combined with the previous actions of the Shinobi World Government in organizing a reserve shinobi army, the councilors understood.

However, while not everyone may support or enjoy war, it seems that only war can alleviate the impending crisis in the face of the ecological predicament of the ninja world's future.

"Therefore, I need more ninjas to form more ninja armies..."

Nearly half an hour later, after the emotions of the councilors who were encountering the existence of the New World for the first time had calmed down a bit, Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly scanned the hall, and wherever his gaze fell, everyone bowed in response: "We need to continue to launch new wars!"

These words caused an uproar not only among the lawmakers but also among Sakumo Hatake—this was far too direct!

He had thought that Uchiha Tokumitsu would promote the expansion of the new world in a gradual and cyclical manner, but he did not expect him to issue the war order directly in such an intense way.

"As ninjas, as rulers of the world, we must use our kunai and explosive tags to acquire land for the common people of the ninja world and enough food to satisfy the hunger of our descendants!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu's tone grew increasingly excited: "In the name of the Great Rule of the Shinobi World Government, we intend to launch a war against the New World! No matter how long it lasts, no matter the cost, no matter the outcome, for the future of the Shinobi World, I need war!"

"I urge all councilors to make their own decisions regarding the future of the ninja world!"

After speaking, Uchiha Tokumitsu turned around, his back to all the councilors.

"The Southwest Region unanimously supports His Majesty's decision to wage war!"

With his relatively superior skills, Luo Sha was the first to jump up.

"Please raise your hands to vote!"

Just then, Councilor Uchiha Shimo, who had just come to his senses, quickly took charge of maintaining order.

"brush!"

Everyone stood up and raised their hands in agreement.

"The Ninja World Alliance Council unanimously passed a war resolution at its first plenary session!"

Uchiha Yomo immediately shouted.

"Fight for the future of the ninja world!"

Under the influence of fervent emotions, the lawmakers shouted in unison.

Uchiha Tokumitsu slowly turned around, once again facing the shouts of everyone.

At this moment, he also felt a sense of relief.

"In the name of the Great Emperor of the Ninja World..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu spoke again.

The council chamber immediately fell silent, everyone listening intently to the impending divine judgment.

"From the day the passage to the new world officially opens, the ninja world will enter a state of full war!"

"At the same time, in the name of the royal family, I will ensure that every ninja who fights for the ninja world will have no worries about the future, every ninja who makes meritorious contributions in the war will receive the rewards and honors they deserve, and the heirs of every heroic ninja who sacrifices for the future of the ninja world will be able to fully inherit their fathers' wealth and glory!"

"Uchiha, let's share the world with ninjas!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu made his sacred promise.

"Fight for the ninja world!"

"Fight for the future!"

"Fight for honor!"

The members of parliament immediately erupted in cheers!

"This is also a ninja's expedition of iron and fire!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu drew his ninja sword and held it across his brow as a salute to all the councilors who supported the war.

"Clang!"

The councilors drew their weapons in unison and offered their loyalty to the supreme emperor in the same gesture!

"Conquer the New World!"

The sound was like thunder, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

Chapter 490 The Rise of the Ninja World

On the 30th day of the third month of the first year of the Kaihuang era, the hurricane barrier weakened as scheduled to the point where ships could pass safely.

Moreover, after numerous calculations and experiments by research institutes and engineering institutes, it can be confirmed that this mysteriously appearing 'world passage' will not only not suddenly disappear, but will become more stable over time.
