Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Upon hearing Uchiha Gen's words, Tsunade's struggles gradually subsided...

Yes, this can also be seen as a great stroke of luck and happiness.

Just like when I saw Rope Tree and Broken the last time, I felt relieved of many regrets, which allowed me to live in this world with a lighter heart.

Orochimaru looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi: "What an old fogey! Look how reasonable Gen is!"

"What blasphemy? I am the Dream Fulfiller of the Ninja World!"

The title "Master of Fulfilling Dreams in the Ninja World" was given to Orochimaru by Uchiha Gen.

"Besides, it's not like we're using living people as sacrifices, it's White Zetsu, why are you getting so worked up?"

"Pretending to be something you're not..."

Over the years, the relationship between Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi has not improved; it remains terrible.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious with Orochimaru, and Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane quickly tried to calm him down...

Upon hearing Orochimaru's pointed rebuttal, those who lacked the strength, seniority, status, and power all lowered their eyes and remained silent, pretending not to have heard.

"Ahem, Orochimaru, that's enough." Jiraiya coughed twice and then said with a serious expression.

"Hehe..."

Orochimaru smiled, glanced at Jiraiya, and said nothing more.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

"Besides the two Hokage, some people may have already guessed who the other one is."

"That's right, he is Uchiha Madara, who pacified the chaotic world and founded Konoha alongside the First Hokage!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others were surprised to hear this, but their expressions did not show much surprise.

There's nothing to it but that there have been just too many shocking things today; I've become somewhat numb to it all.

"The bodies of these three reanimated were meticulously crafted by Orochimaru-sensei with a great deal of effort, enabling them to unleash 99% of their original strength."

"Actually, besides these three, Orochimaru-sensei can also summon the ancestors of other ninja villages."

"There's no need to do that; summoning it would only incite other ninja villages to unite against it."

"With our current strength, we could easily sweep through the ninja world."

"Aside from the Second Hokage, either the First Hokage or Madara Uchiha could have unified the ninja world by force."

"It's just that the two predecessors had different ideas, and the First Hokage was stronger than Madara Uchiha, so Madara Uchiha did not start the path to unification."

"Although there have been brief periods of peace since the establishment of the one-country-one-village system, each period of peace has actually been a time when the major ninja villages have been secretly accumulating strength for war."

"When the time was right, war broke out immediately."

At this point, Uchiha began to pace back and forth, his deep, magnetic voice continuing to resonate...

The crowd's gazes followed Uchiha Gen, their expressions complex and their eyes varied.

"When?"

"The First Shinobi World War broke out shortly after the death of the First Hokage, and the Second Shinobi World War broke out shortly after the death of the Second Hokage."

"The Third Shinobi World War wasn't caused by Konoha, but the disappearance and death of the Third Kazekage was the trigger."

"I am a young Hokage, having only experienced the Third Shinobi World War, and only about a third of that."

"Some of you here have experienced one Shinobi World War, some have experienced two, and some have even experienced three. Your experiences are much more profound than mine."

"As it turns out, the First Hokage's ideas were too idealistic and simply wouldn't work."

"That won't work, at least not in this day and age!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others all looked rather grim, but they were unable to refute it.

"Hatred is only a very minor factor in the outbreak of war, as all wise leaders in various countries are well aware of."

"Those higher-ups who didn't realize that hatred was a minor reason were either stupid or too naive."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya and a few others looked somewhat uneasy.

"The real reason is the severe imbalance of resources among countries, meaning the Land of Fire is too rich."

"They are so wealthy that other countries are envious and feel extremely resentful..."

"Given factors such as their own development needs and the desire to divert internal conflicts, it would be strange if they didn't invade!"

"If I were in their shoes, I would also wage war and continuously invade the Land of Fire."

"The only way to resolve the fundamental contradiction of unequal resource distribution is through unification!"

"After unification, resources can be allocated by the government, which will help alleviate the uneven distribution of resources as much as possible."

"After unification, there will be no more wars, and the new country can focus on developing itself, using various means to improve productivity and optimize the living environment."

"For example, using scientific methods and ninjutsu to increase food production, and researching techniques for planting trees in deserts and Gobi, etc."

"If the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, the Land of Thunder, and the Land of Water could one day acquire half, no, a third, of the resources of the Land of Fire, they would probably all be content with their lot."

"If you can eat your fill, eat well, and live well without having to fight to the death, who would be willing to risk their life to fight?"

Hearing this, Tsunade and Kushina looked at Uchiha Gen with eyes full of admiration...

Besides the two women, some other high-ranking officials, though not overtly so, were inwardly convinced.

"You must have this belief."

"We're not going to invade them, but to help them, so we can build a great ninja world of shared prosperity together!"

Ugh, why does what I just said sound so familiar?

"I have shown what I needed to show, and I have said what I needed to say."

"Is there anyone else who opposes going to war?"

Uchiha Gen glanced around indifferently, but no one spoke...

"I'll give you one more chance. If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement."

The group looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Okay, then it's decided."

"This matter is classified as a top secret in Konoha. Anyone who leaks it will be executed along with their entire clan!"

"Now let's return to Konoha to discuss the specific steps of our operation and the division of labor afterwards."

At this point, Uchiha Gen waved his hand, and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki bowed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Seeing this, Orochimaru conjured three coffins and placed Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha inside, then they sank into the ground...

"Wait a minute."

After saying this, Tsunade looked at Uchiha Gen and said, "I want to have a get-together with Grandpa and Second Grandpa after the meeting."

"Ahem, I also want to get together with the First Hokage and my teacher," Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly.

Uchiha Gen glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said without any politeness, "How about we invite those three to the meeting and then have a meal?"

"We'll talk about the gathering after everything is settled; there'll be plenty of time later."

"Find out what's most urgent right now..."

"That's utter nonsense!"

Ignoring Hiruzen Sarutobi's ugly expression, Gen Uchiha leaped onto a treetop and quickly disappeared from sight.

Orochimaru continued to sink the coffin into the ground, and then followed Kakashi and the others.

After Jiraiya, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu comforted Hiruzen Sarutobi, the four of them left together.

"He's not targeting you, he's targeting..."

"You can try to talk to him privately; he probably won't refuse."

Kushina patted Tsunade on the shoulder, offering gentle words of comfort.

Tsunade smiled and said, "I know."

"Forget it, let's wait until things are settled before we meet again. We'll have more to talk about then."

"I think mystical ideas might actually work. What about you?"

"I think so too," Kushina said with a smile.

Both of them were too focused on their own thoughts to notice each other's expressions.

"Let's go."

"it is good."

The two strongest female ninjas of Konoha leaped into the air and quickly disappeared into the emerald green waves...
