Naruto Uchiha, the former God of the Space!

An unchangeable will!

Then let's fight.

The high-ranking officials, understanding Uchiha Shu's determination, had no choice but to give up trying to persuade him.

"To Japan, I have made the following arrangements."

"Make a note of this."

Hiashi Hyuga, who casually picked up the notebook from the small table, immediately lowered his head, picked up his pen, and waited to take shorthand notes.

"A three-dimensional reconnaissance and defense system will be constructed along the eastern coast, towards the former territory of the Land of Whirlpools, with the Hyuga clan as the main force, supplemented by elite sensory units of the Yamanaka clan, and local coastal defense forces."

"The Hyuga's Byakugan must ensure that the coastal defenses are not infiltrated. If the Land of Water dares to send troops, immediately wipe out the enemy's first wave of probing and surprise attacks. Hmph, the Village of Blood Mist doesn't have much to offer."

"You will personally serve as the garrison commander, with Amazo Yamato leading ten secret service squads to accompany you."

"The greatest pressure is in the northwest, on the border of the Land of Rain, where the main forces of the Uchiha, Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans are being coordinated with reconnaissance teams from the Inuzuka and Aburame clans."

"Use this as a deterrent against Sunagakure of the Land of Wind. If Iwagakure of the Land of Earth is provoked and launches a retaliatory attack, wipe them out and show Konoha's might!"

"Shikaku will serve as the commander-in-chief, with Fugaku assisting."

"In the south, facing the Wind Kingdom, which may betray the alliance at any time, we have formed a vigilant and deterrent posture with ten elite squads of secret agents as the backbone, plus the local border defense forces."

"Build fortifications, establish widespread vigilance, and clearly convey Konoha Village's determination to deter Rasa from acting rashly, further creating a strategic deterrent. Let Mitokado Homura take charge of the specific command. Even I'm not afraid to die; this old man will burn one last fire for the village."

"In the northeastern mountains, around the Land of Rice Fields, Uchiha Setsuna is leading the core of the security forces, elite members of the Sarutobi clan, and attached with local regular garrison troops skilled in earth-style techniques and traps, as well as an ANBU tactical squad, to monitor the direction of Kumogakure."

"..." Nara Shikaku.

Unexpectedly, even the Sarutobi clan was mobilized.

The Fifth Hokage's demeanor is truly admirable.

Fortunately, a powerful member of the Uchiha clan stepped forward, leading a group of key members of the security forces to conduct surveillance alongside the troops.

"The village itself, under Tsunade's command, with Kakashi and Koharu Utatane as her deputies, the Gekko clan, the Kurama clan, the sealing team, the barrier team, the medical team, the remaining forces of the Shadow Guard, the remaining forces of the Anbu, the Ninja Academy teachers, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Kosuke Maruboshi... In short, you can mobilize any force in the village at will."

Facing the man who placed boundless trust in her, Tsunade nodded earnestly and reminded him:

"Among the Senju, there are still some elders alive, such as Granny Momoka."

"Alright, in addition to imposing the highest level of martial law and conducting an internal investigation to ensure the safety of the headquarters, you also need to reorganize the military forces as a general reserve and mobile strike force."

Uchiha Shu, now wielding the Kamui Eye, paused, then looked at the group that had been silent but whose aura had suddenly surged, including Kakashi. "My first battle leading Konoha to a new era must be won!"

Once everything was in place, the conference room fell silent.

"Now, repeat it to me."

The Japanese man slowly opened his mouth, uttering not a single word out of place.

The specific details will be completed by the individuals who were named.

Just like in the plan to raid Iwagakure, the infiltration part needed the scrolls made by the sealing team.

Uchiha Shu didn't care about this.

Just like during these five days, he acted as a hands-off manager, watching Hiashi do his work while he himself wished he could crawl into the Book of Seals and master all the forbidden techniques.

"The surprise attack plan in the Land of Earth will commence in three days. Shisui, you will intensify the infiltration of Iwagakure by the Anbu and Root."

"In addition, we will not recruit teenagers who have graduated from the Ninja Academy within the past three years, nor recruit ninjas who are not on the official records, nor recruit elderly ninjas who are not on the official records. We will only recruit ninjas who are not from the village and are not from the village ...

"Meeting adjourned. I hope everyone goes back and thinks carefully about what kind of Konoha is worthy of the true meaning of the Will of Fire—not letting the leaves rot in the darkness, but letting the firelight illuminate every new leaf, including those that were once covered by shadows."

If all goes well, the war will not be too large.

If things don't go smoothly, then let's call it "The Burning of the Ninja World"!

Funds and provisions are available at rock-bottom prices from the God's Great Light Orb.

"Yes."

The group bowed their heads.

Refusing to let teenagers participate in the war? You yourself only graduated a few years ago.

For the first time in a long time, Tsunade felt a strange emotion, which was probably longing.

"Tsunade, please stay behind."

As if sensing something, Uchiha Shu, who had everything under control, spoke up.

Fugaku, who originally intended to have a private talk with him, reluctantly abandoned the idea for the time being.

Itachi probably left with Obito.

When the bodies from the Night of the Rebellion were inventoried, Itachi Uchiha's remains were not found.

If it were any other civilian ANBU Jonin, their fate would be unknown, meaning they were dead.

But Itachi is different. Even without awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he can't be killed silently like a stray dog.

The all-knowing Fifth Hokage gave himself, the clan leader, a dignified end, by not declaring Itachi a rogue ninja, nor issuing a kill order or a large underground bounty.

Perhaps they thought it was possible to win back the rebellious son? They planted a seed in the Akatsuki organization; whoever became Hokage would probably appreciate Itachi's morbid loyalty.

outside the window.

The burning purple barrier dissipated.

"What is it?" Tsunade asked impatiently after the others left.

"I need your help in my spiritual practice."

His tone revealed a wicked sense of humor.

"what?"

……

Sunset.

The land of the Thousand Hands Clan.

The vast plot of land has been uninhabited for a long time; the walls are peeling and the roof and stone steps are riddled with cracks.

Only the lush vegetation and the enormous stone statues between the pillars can attest to the former glory of the Senju clan.

Xiu could sense that a small amount of warm Yang Release chakra remained within the large tree.

The First Hokage, who possessed the ancestral divine tree, was too monstrous.

"Hmph, to choose this place to learn the Yin Seal, this handsome brat from the Uchiha clan has quite the knack for picking locations."

Returning to the place where she grew up and holds her childhood memories, Tsunade felt relaxed and a bit more carefree and unrestrained.

Like a proud and arrogant golden retriever.

From noon until now, she has been explaining the secrets of the S-rank Yin Seal over and over again, how to make chakra circulate in specific meridians, gather in the forehead area, and compress and seal it.

He even personally meditated and practiced, allowing Uchiha Shu's Sharingan to gain a close-up understanding of the underlying principles.

As the sun slowly sank below the horizon, the golden-red hues on the horizon grew increasingly richer.

"Try to imagine your chakra as a stream flowing into a deep pool, continuously and steadily flowing in..."

Seeing Uchiha Shu's eyes closed in concentration, fine beads of sweat gradually forming on his forehead, Tsunade couldn't help but pray silently—

From the perspective of someone who has been through it, negotiating with one's own chakra in an unconventional way and reshaping an energy flow path is extremely difficult.

The Fifth Hokage is going all out for the operation three days from now!

Despite chewing the food almost completely before feeding it to him, the cultivation process still did not go smoothly.

After all, the Yin Seal is a standard S-rank difficulty, and in the entire ninja world, only he and his grandmother have successfully mastered it.

"Sigh, pursuing quick results is tantamount to creating miracles."

In the past, every time Uchiha Shu attempted to build a stable storage structure, it either failed due to an incorrect chakra flow rate or an imbalance in the compression ratio.

The faint mark that had gathered on his forehead flickered a few times before dissipating!
