The bloodstains that had filled the air had completely disappeared, the devastated battlefield was now perfectly intact, and the air felt much fresher.

The comrade-in-arms, whom they thought was dead, was revived and got up from the ground.

"I think I'm dead."

"Strange, how come I remember being able to see the battlefield even after I died?"

"I think I even saw Lord Kazekage and Lord Yekura fighting?"

The crowd erupted in noise.

When they saw the fully armed troops of Churi City surrounding them, they all became wary.

The weapons the other side had were truly terrifying.

"This is?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi could hardly believe it; hadn't a lot of people just died?

really!

Everything that just happened was an illusion!

Minato Namikaze saw Might Guy and his son Might Guy rolling on the ground.

Both of them were yelling "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" and their green bodysuits were covered in dust.

"Honey, look! That's the sacred tree!"

Impatiently, Shima pointed, and an enormous, lush, ancient tree grew vigorously on this desolate highland and blossomed with huge flowers.

"It was in the illusion world before."

"If you die in the illusion world, your soul will be damaged, but it can be fully recovered as long as you rest for a while."

Madara Uchiha's voice seemed to be ringing in his ears.

Minato Namikaze immediately realized that they had not completely shaken off the illusion.

"The things that need to be done after this are no longer my responsibility."

Ban raised his head and looked at the tall divine tree.

A huge, verdant branch swung and stretched out, and at its tip stood a person.

It is Qingjingyuan.

"Mr. Yuan?!"

Those in the crowd who recognized Kiyoi Gen, such as Yuhi Makoto, Might Guy, Might Guy, and Akimichi Choza, exclaimed in surprise.

"Master Yuan?!"

Konoha ninjas who had been hired by Kiyoi Gen's caravans or indirectly relied on the caravans' earnings also exclaimed in surprise.

People from other villages didn't recognize Qingjingyuan, since he hadn't shown his face in other villages.

However, everyone will soon have a good impression of him.

Madara Uchiha leaped high into the air and flew directly to Gen Kiyoi's side.

The two stood side by side, one refined and easygoing, the other domineering and solemn.

'Ban, is that young man the one you chose?'

Hashirama Senju watched the two silently, a sense of melancholy in his heart.

Kiyoshi Gen slowly stepped forward, forming a hand seal.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi summoned the consciousness of the unconscious members of the Allied Shinobi Forces headquarters, as well as the ninjas from various villages, to this location.

Individual consciousness arrived under the guidance of the divine tree, and many more people appeared below.

These people looked up at the sky and saw Kiyoi Gen and Uchiha Madara as well.

"It's Mr. Yuan!"

Yamanaka Inoichi was surprised to find himself on the front lines, and he even saw the president of the Konoha Merchant Guild who had supported him in opening his shop.

Wait for this chakra

At this point, Kiyoi Gen no longer concealed his chakra in stealth mode.

Many sensory ninjas sensed that unique chakra.

It is warm, magnificent, and possesses a resolute and powerful spirit.

"I am Kiyoi Gen."

The sound reached everyone's ears without missing a single detail.

"How could it be Tsunade? Didn't you marry Kiyoi Genji?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked surprised and turned to ask Tsunade.

"Didn't you know he was with Madara Uchiha?"

What?!

Both Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju looked over.

Hashirama Senju, in particular, smiled happily.

"So, he's Xiaogang's husband."

"This peaceful chakra indicates someone you can trust."

Even Tobirama Senju didn't refute anything.

He knew very well that chakra was closely related to one's mental state, and that someone with similar chakra to his older brother was at least not a bad person.

On the contrary, his chakra as the Second Hokage was more like the cold and sinister style of Madara Uchiha.

"Yuan didn't tell me!"

Tsunade was not lying; she didn't ask, and Kiyoi Gen didn't say anything either.

"Great-Grandpa! Second-Grandpa!"

Stop looking at me! Listen to Yuan!

The Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, who had already recovered from his ice sculpture state, made a comment.

"So in the end, the enemy's leader doesn't seem to be the enemy at all?"

At this moment, Kiyoshi Gen's voice continued to echo in everyone's ears.

"I am the initiator of this Fourth Shinobi World War."

"He is also the president of the Konoha Merchant Guild, Sunagakure Merchant Guild, Iwagakure Merchant Guild, Kumogakure Merchant Guild, and Kirigakure Merchant Guild."

"If I put it that way, everyone should understand better."

!!!

This prompted even Yugito and Killer Bee, who were imprisoned on the moon, to start discussing it.

"Yunshan Town?"

That's the channel through which the Hidden Cloud Village obtains the vast majority of its basic resources!

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Onoki both sighed.

"What a terrifying guy, he actually started planning this twenty years ago."

"When the Iwagakure Trading Company approached me, I was surprised that a trading company would be willing to build a major commercial town near the village, which is not exactly a thankless task."

"It turns out it was to control the village's economy."

Onoki's tone revealed a sense of horror.

"Sarutobi, judging from your expression, Konoha has been infiltrated even more severely."

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand, as if to take a puff of his cigarette, but there was none.

He suppressed his anxiety and sighed again.

"My goal is very simple."

"Win this Ninja World War, unite all nations, and achieve true unification."

Kiyoshi Gen's expression was confident.

"I am confident that I can lead everyone to create a better future together."

"However, I know that it's impossible to achieve all this just by talking about it."

"so"

He snapped his fingers lightly.

Five enormous screens appeared in the sky; these were the offices of the five village leaders.

The person wearing the Hatsumi headband is sitting at the desk.

"During the war, I sent troops to occupy the five villages."

!!!

"impossible!"

The Fourth Raikage roared.

"We haven't received any news of the village being attacked this morning!"

"That's because the army attacked the village at the very moment when you were in the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

With a wave of his hand, Kiyoshi Genichiro's five screens began to scroll, revealing various secret locations.

A large number of ninjas and samurai from the early days patrolled the village, and even Fugaku Uchiha spotted Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha on the street.

!!!

"Fugaku, don't rush."

"They won't hurt your family."

Mikoto Uchiha offered some words of comfort to the other person.
