Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Konoha Village.

In the blink of an eye.

Two days have passed.

Chiba stood on the Hokage Rock.

Beneath his feet stretched an endless army of Konoha ninja.

More than 20,000 ninjas have assembled.

The dark, imposing formation exuded a suffocating, chilling aura.

Elite Jonin stood at the very front.

Behind them were a large number of Chunin and Genin.

No one speaks.

Only heavy breathing echoed in the air.

Chiba's gaze swept across the entire room.

There was not a trace of hesitation in those dark eyes.

"My fellow countrymen in Konoha."

Chiba spoke.

He did not use any amplification equipment.

But his chakra, at the peak of the Kage level, delivered his voice clearly to everyone's ears.

"Look at your comrades-in-arms."

"Some of them are commoners, and some are clan ninjas."

"But before today, you all shed blood and risked your lives on the battlefield for the benefit of the village."

Chiba's voice was calm, yet it possessed a certain magic.

"The ninja world is too big, and too chaotic."

"The First Shinobi World War, the Second, the Third..."

Every ten years or so, a group of people die.

Why?

"Because of the daimyo's greed! Because of the divisions between the ninja villages!"

Chiba suddenly raised his voice.

Chakra surged, and the air in the entire Hidden Leaf Village seemed to freeze.

"Today, I stand here."

"I'm not trying to start a war with you."

"It's not so much to end this damned era with my own hands!"

"I'm going to smash all the borders!"

"I will abolish all those high and mighty names!"

"I want only one voice to resonate across this continent!"

Chiba extended his right hand and suddenly clenched his fist.

"unified!"

"So that your descendants will never again experience the despair of war."

"For the glory of Konoha, let it shine in every corner of the ninja world!"

Tell me, are you willing to follow me?

Dead silence.

After a brief period of deathly silence.

A roar as frenzied as a volcanic eruption shot straight into the sky.

"unified!"

"unified!"

"Long live the Fifth Generation!"

Twenty thousand ninjas raised their ninja tools high, and the roar almost overturned the Hokage Rock.

The commoner ninja's eyes reddened.

The clan's ninjas were filled with fervor.

Chiba painted an unprecedentedly grand blueprint for them.

And to the side and behind the Hokage Rock.

A group of figures exuding a chilling aura were silently watching all of this.

That was the army of Konoha's predecessors resurrected by Orochimaru using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Tobirama.

"Chiba is a hundred times more domineering than Madara."

Hashirama Senju crossed his arms over his chest.

He looked down at the frenzied Konoha ninja below and a smile appeared on his face.

"Big brother."

"You're too naive."

"Chiba's approach is correct."

"He not only possesses absolute power that can crush the entire ninja world, but he also knows how to use benefits and systems to bind everyone together."

"Look at Konoha now, it's more than ten times stronger than when we were in power!"

Tobirama Senju makes no secret of his admiration for Chiba.

This is the perfect Hokage in his mind.

Not bound by morality, but only focused on results.

Tsunade stood beside the two of them.

She looked at the dazzling young man in the sunlight, her heart filled with pride.

Those were her disciples.

They are also the true hope of the Senju clan.

Even the usually stubborn Hiruzen Sarutobi mingled in the crowd and joined in the shouting.

He completely resigned himself to his fate.

Under Chiba's upright and just rule, all his previous schemes and tricks seemed like a joke.

Chiba pressed his hand down.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

This terrifying control caused Tobirama Senju behind him to nod once more.

"Now, I am issuing the battle plan."

Chiba's voice was cold and efficient.

"The First Army!"

"Target: Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) in the Land of Lightning!"

"Led by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju!"

"Fugaku Uchiha, you will lead the elite Uchiha clan and assign them all to the First Route Army!"

These words were spoken.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Fugaku Uchiha suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief.

Should Hashirama Senju lead the Uchiha clan into battle?

This combination is absolutely outrageous.

Who doesn't know that the Uchiha and Senju fought so fiercely back then that their brains practically popped out of their heads?

But Chiba didn't give them any time to think.

"Those brutes from Kumogakure like to fight head-on."

"Let them see what the strongest power in the ninja world really is!"

Chiba spoke coldly.

Hashirama Senju burst into laughter.

He leaped down from behind and crashed heavily into the front of the Uchiha camp.

"Yo."

"Uchiha brats."

"With Madara gone, you guys better not hold me back!"

Hashirama Senju's carefree personality instantly eased the tension among the Uchiha clan members.

Fugaku Uchiha gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee.

"The Uchiha clan will surely crush Kumogakure!"

Chiba nodded and continued giving orders.

"The second army!"

"Target: Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) in the Land of Earth!"

"Led by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju!"

"Nara Shikaku, Yamazaka Kaiichi, Akimichi Choza!"

"You will lead the three races of Ino, Deer, and Butterfly, along with Might Guy and other elite martial artists, and be incorporated into the Second Army!"

Nara Shikaku gasped and quickly stepped forward to accept the order.

He thinks very fast.

Iwagakure is skilled in defense and Earth Release techniques, and its terrain is complex.

Tobirama Senju was a master of Water Release, which was perfect for countering Earth Release.

In addition, there's Tobirama's terrifying tactical mind, combined with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio's control of the field, and Might Guy's Eight Gates technique for breaking through defenses.

This is a death lineup specifically designed for Iwagakure.

"Kid, are you even smart enough?"

Tobirama Senju instantly appeared next to Shikaku Nara.

Nara Shikaku wiped away his cold sweat.

"I will not fail in my mission, Your Excellency."

Chiba turned his gaze to the other side.

"The third army!"

"Target: Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) in the Land of Water!"

"Led by Sakumo Hatake!"

"The Sarutobi clan, the Utatane clan, and the Mitomon clan are all to be incorporated into the Third Route Army!"

This appointment is hereby made.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing in the crowd, froze.

Hatake Sakumo.

Leaf White Fang

He was driven to suicide back then because of rumors spread by high-ranking officials.

Now, Chiba has placed all of these former high-ranking officials under White Fang's command.

This is not just making the best use of resources, but also a blatant warning.

"Shuo Mao, I understand."

Sakumo Hatake, gripping a short sword, slowly walked out.

He didn't even glance at Hiruzen Sarutobi, but simply knelt on one knee before Chiba.

This scene plunged the Sarutobi clan ninjas into an icy abyss.

This is exactly the effect Chiba wanted.

Is Hiruzen Sarutobi trying to gain capital through the war?

can.

But the prerequisite is that they must prove their worth under White Fang's blade.

"The Hyuga clan!"

Chiba called out names again.

Hiashi Hyuga immediately stepped forward.

"The Hyuga clan members were dispersed and evenly distributed across all combat units."

"Your disdainful looks are the radar of our army; we cannot afford to miss them!"

Hiashi Hyuga loudly accepted the order.

The strategic importance of the white eye was greatly elevated at this moment.

"The remaining troops were divided into two groups."

"We traveled along the road to the neighboring small countries, such as the Land of Fields, and along the road to the Land of Snow."

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Chiba's instructions were clear and concise, without a single unnecessary word.

He looked at Orochimaru, who had been standing in the shadows.

Orochimaru.

"The army of resurrected beings is now under your command."

"Provide support to all battlefields at any time."

Don't let me down.

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips.

"As you wish, Lord Godai."

Chiba suddenly swung his arm down.

"All troops, listen to my command!"

"Let's go!"

With Chiba's command.

Konoha's terrifying war machine was now in full swing.

The 20,000-strong army transformed into countless black shadows, rushing off in all directions.
