Uchiha's personal opinion

The dust has settled.

Since the expeditionary force was formed on March 30th of the first year of the Kaihuang era and crossed the World Gate to enter the pirate world, it took more than three years for Uchiha Tokumitsu to finally lead his troops to conquer the highest power center of the pirate world.

After the Sage of Six Paths willingly abandoned the body of 'Lord Im' and his remaining body was reduced to dust by the armored Susanoo, this symbolized that this world had lost its last force of resistance.

The Shinobi World Government, which has already taken control of the entire East Blue, only needs to mobilize its fleet to conduct armed patrols in the other three sea areas and exert both kindness and power, and it would be only natural for the former World Government to bow down to it.

After all, with the fall of the Holy Land Mary Geoise and the extermination of the Celestial Dragons, the World Government has been completely destroyed, and there will be no more opportunities for change.

"Congratulations to His Majesty!"

When Uchiha Tokumitsu dispelled his Susanoo form and slowly descended from the sky, the first person to kneel down in congratulation was the newly recruited Lieutenant General of the Fire Mountain Army.

Fire Mountain is a Marine with a strong sense of justice, so when he saw the altar made of the corpses of Celestial Dragons in Pangaea Castle, his firm sense of justice completely collapsed.

Even the world nobles who drew up the 'blueprint of justice' for the navy exited the stage of history in such an undignified way, so what can former naval soldiers like them do?

What else can he do besides give up his delusions and find a suitable position within the new government?

Therefore, Huoshaoshan, having made up his mind, underwent a complete transformation of his thinking in a very short period of time and put it into action.

"Congratulations to His Majesty!"

Then, a deafening roar of cheers resounded throughout Mary Geoise, and the good news of the victory spread rapidly.

"What's wrong with the old man...?"

Amidst the fervent cheers, the six sealed tailed beasts, no longer displaying their former arrogance, showed a clear hint of hesitation or confusion on their chakra-formed faces. Only Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, remained concerned about the Six Paths Souls, whose souls had transformed into light and ascended into space.

"...Don't worry, even if we die, this old man won't die!"

The Eight-Tailed Gyūki said in a deep, muffled voice, "For the old man, life and death are extremely vague and meaningless things. As long as he doesn't die from his own fault, no one can kill him!"

"...Won't we be punished later?"

The five-tailed Muwang pawed at the ground with its hooves, looking somewhat anxious and uneasy.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. At worst, we can try to plead with Youlv. They shouldn't ignore us, right..."

Shigeaki Nanao said, shaking his head.

As the saying goes, one family rejoices while another grieves. With the end of the battle in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Sakazuki, who had fled to the North Sea to integrate the various branches and rebuild the righteous navy, was struck dumb and stood frozen for a long time, unable to speak.

Naturally, the so-called integration of branches and reconstruction of the navy became nonsense, and Sakazuki disappeared without a trace not long afterward.

It is said that he set sail alone in a small boat, heading towards the 'end of the world' on the Grand Line.

From then on, no one ever saw this unruly former admiral again, and no one knew his whereabouts.

Just like the once-illustrious Kizaru, Kuzan, Whitebeard, Kaido, and other peerless powerhouses, with the passage of time and the establishment of the New World's West Blue and North Blue, the names of these deceased individuals have been swallowed up by the torrent of time, becoming yellowed words in old papers.

……

On June 1st of the third year of the Kaihuang era, Uchiha Tokumitsu led the commanders of the expeditionary forces back to the long-lost ninja world.

When passing by the Divine Tree Island, Uchiha Tokumitsu made a point of stopping the boat to look at the Divine Tree, which was still in its growth stage, for a long time.

With the end of the battle in Mary Geoise, under the direction of Hanzo the Salamander, the 'Upside Down Mountain' and Mary Geoise, which originally separated Paradise and the New World, were completely destroyed, and the four ocean currents were completely merged together.

Perhaps due to the complete connection of the four seas, the growth rate of the Divine Tree has been further accelerated. Although it has not been planted for long, it is lush and verdant, like a living fossil between heaven and earth. Its towering trunk is incredibly thick, and the swaying branches and leaves exude a surging tide of chakra, inspiring awe.

"It will take another thirty years..."

After pressing his hand against the Divine Tree and sensing it for a while, Uchiha Tokumitsu silently came to this conclusion.

Based on the current growth rate of the divine tree, he will have to wait another thirty years before he can eat the fruit of the divine tree.

Although this is enough time for a generation to pass away, Uchiha Tokumitsu is still relatively young, so it doesn't matter if he waits.

Moreover, there are still many matters in the ninja world that require his renewed attention and management, especially the issue of ruling the new world, which requires every Uchiha to dedicate their light and heat to it.

"Let's go..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu instantly returned to his flagship and led his vast fleet into the Gate of the World.

……

On September 1st of the third year of the Kaihuang era, after three months of thorough discussion, Uchiha Tokumitsu, in the name of the Great Emperor of the Dynasty and the Great Ruler of the Ninja World Government, issued the "Golden Edict," officially establishing a governing program with the Ninja World as the core, the East Blue of the pirate world as the focus, and the South Blue, West Blue, and North Blue as the development directions. In short, the East Blue was to be managed and colonized as the mainland, while the other three sea areas would be controlled and subject to fixed taxes through vassal states, bonded provinces, and the stationing of troops on key islands.

Although this set of policies only formally places the pirate world under the rule of the ninja world, it is the limit that the ninja world can currently achieve.

According to statistics from the Shinobi World Government, there are approximately 150,000 registered ninjas in the Shinobi World, most of whom are junior genin with relatively low experience. After the five major legions of the expeditionary force were assembled and deployed, the Shinobi World's remaining forces were extremely weak—especially the direct forces of the Shinobi World Government. This has led to the rise of local powers in the Southwest Administrative Region and various states of the former Land of Earth, all of which need to be addressed one by one.

In the 'Golden Edict', Uchiha Tokumitsu reaffirmed the status and obligations of the Uchiha Imperial Clan, and established the lineage and hereditary duties of each lineage. Among them, the lineage of the former clan head was formally established as the Imperial Clan Lineage, and from then on, it served as the branch of the Imperial Clan in charge of rituals.

Although Fugaku Uchiha was somewhat unwilling, he still paid homage and expressed his gratitude with his father, Yomo Uchiha, accepting the reality that he would never have a chance to ascend the throne.

Sakumo Hatake and Hanzo Sansho were both granted the title of Shogun, and the two took turns guarding the World Customs, which was transformed from the original Upside-Down Mountain.

Meanwhile, amidst the changing times, the long-dormant Senju clan appointed Senju Nawaki as their clan leader; the Hyuga clan, on the other hand, had its eldest son, Hyuga Hiashi, succeed him as clan leader. Subsequently, with the support of the Shinobi World Government, Hyuga Hiashi announced the abolition of the clan's 'Caged Bird' system and the cessation of any form of personal restriction on members of the branch families.

Subsequently, a campaign to eradicate the bad habits of ninja clans was launched in the name of "learning from the Hyuga clan." In a very short time, the personal dependence system of all ninja clans except the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans was abolished. A large number of ninjas who were freed from their constraints joined the registered ninja ranks, greatly strengthening the direct power of the ninja world government.

Subsequently, at the Second Ninja World United Council, both houses of parliament formally passed the "Outline for Ninja Training and Ninjutsu Development," establishing ninja education as the fundamental policy of the ninja world. After all, the indirect rule over the pirate world was merely a temporary measure, and they understood that as the pirate world gradually recovered, the native pirates would inevitably try to say 'no' to the ninja colonists.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was well aware that the three seas would inevitably become divided, but he was also confident that he could conquer the pirate world again. Therefore, under his instructions, the Shinobi World Government implemented a system of restraint and control over the original kingdoms and city-states in the South Blue, North Blue, and West Blue under the pretext of respecting the customs of the natives. It also explicitly prohibited the various restrained forces from interfering in the internal affairs of neighboring forces, from expanding their territories without authorization, and from illegally expanding their armed forces. Under these restrictions, the original powerful countries in the three seas were greatly weakened, while the smaller countries became more loyal to the Shinobi World Government because they were protected.

……

In the twelfth month of the third year of the Kaihuang era, Empress Zhenqin gave birth to a son. The Emperor was overjoyed and bestowed upon him the name "Chongguang," subsequently appointing him as Crown Prince. The good news spread, and all nations rejoiced, celebrating the occasion with joy throughout the land.

Subsequently, in March of the fourth year of the Kaihuang era, Empress Kushina gave birth to a daughter. The Emperor was overjoyed and bestowed upon her the title "Princess Shotoku," granting her the Uzumaki Islands as her fiefdom. From then on, the Uzumaki clan was able to regain their homeland, restore their glory, and their story became a legend throughout the land.

In July of the fourth year of the Kaihuang era, the special investigator of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the demon Black Zetsu, plotted a rebellion. When he entered the palace to request an audience, he attempted to assassinate the prince, but was discovered by his superior, Ashura, who personally subdued him. Emperor Uchiha Tokumitsu then personally sealed him and imprisoned him in the Eye of the North Sea in the ninja world, ensuring that he would never be able to escape.

In October of the 20th year of the Kaihuang era, a rebellion broke out in the North Sea of ​​the New World. Various vassal states and autonomous kingdoms expelled their garrisoned ninjas, and bandit pirates rose up once again.

Uchiha Tokumitsu appointed Crown Prince Sukō as regent and, after a seventeen-year hiatus, personally led an expedition once again. Under the onslaught of the new generation of ninjas, who possessed both domineering aura and chakra power, the new generation of ninjas decimated the North Sea in just three months, leaving countless heads rolling. Intimidated by their formidable military might, Uchiha Tokumitsu ordered the revocation of the North Sea's autonomous status and brought it under the direct rule of the Ninja World Government.

During the suppression of the rebellion, faced with endless and overwhelming massacres, the former chief sergeant of the East Sea Republics, Ichisei, felt deeply uneasy. In addition, with the encouragement of the revolutionary army leader Monkey D. Dragon, Ichisei chose to defect alone and changed his name to 'Fujitora' to join the revolutionary army.

Upon learning of this, Uchiha Tokumitsu appointed Charlotte Linlin, the Queen of the Totto Land Kingdom, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Marines to suppress the Revolutionary Army. He then led his troops back to the Island of the Divine Tree to personally oversee the pirate world.

……

In April of the thirty-third year of the Kaihuang era, the fruits of the divine tree ripened as scheduled.

"From this day forward, the rule of the Uchiha clan will endure as long as the world!"

After officially consuming the fruit of the Divine Tree, Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was able to completely transcend, said this.

Finish this testimonial

To every book lover:

When I started writing this book, I never imagined that this story would accompany me for so long.

As of today, exactly 399 days have passed, and only one story has come to a less than satisfactory end.

The origin of this book is simply the "I can do it" mentality that I was inspired to do it while reading a certain book. It was this impulse, coupled with the support of many fellow readers, that allowed me to persevere for these 399 days.

To be honest, this book is not perfect; it could even be described as having a promising start but a disappointing ending. It is undeniable that as a new author, I, the author, have made almost every mistake I should and shouldn't have made. Fortunately, my fellow readers pointed out these lessons in the book review section, which allowed me to learn, correct, and grow.

The mountain monkey expresses its gratitude!

Furthermore, I, Shanhouzi, would like to sincerely thank everyone who has read and supported this novel. Your companionship and support are the driving force behind my continued progress; without you, I would not have these sentimental words today.

I, Mountain Monkey, am deeply honored to have received your subscriptions and support. However, I also understand that my work has not met everyone's expectations. For this, I sincerely apologize. This is my shortcoming as an author, and I will seriously reflect on it and strive to improve my writing skills to repay your expectations.

This book will be updated with free side stories from time to time as appropriate supplements to the content. Some content that was cut during the writing process, whether actively or passively, will also be presented as separate side stories.

As we all know, Mountain Monkey is an introverted, or rather, secretly passionate person, so he can't say many sentimental things. The only thing he can do is to create some palatable "textual fast food" for everyone, and sincerely hope that everyone can temporarily put aside their real-life troubles and find a bit of pleasure while reading - if that's the case, this monkey will be content!

Thank you again, dearest readers. May our story continue forever.

I bow my head in reverence! Best wishes for your well-being!
