Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

The power of chakra has a tremendous impact on this world. Without this power, even manual labor becomes inefficient for ninjas, and the speed of rebuilding their homes has become a huge problem.

Even the ninja who had been laying bricks for the past few years started to complain after working for half a month, saying that it was almost impossible to complete the basic reconstruction work within six months!

-

In a room at the Konoha temporary hospital, Tsunade nestled wearily in Furukawa Osamu's arms.

As night falls, all that can be seen when looking out the window of the wooden house are scattered points of light; the lush foliage has completely vanished.

Fortunately, during this time, Furukawa Osamu used Wood Release to build a lot of temporary housing; otherwise, given the current speed at which ninjas move bricks, it would likely take several months to move into a house.

Tsunade has been feeling sad these past few days because her beloved village has been destroyed. Although she knows that this is related to the way the Konoha ninjas have acted in recent years, she still feels desolate in her heart when she is in such a situation.

"Is the teacher still worried about the reconstruction of the village? Although it's progressing slowly, it will eventually be completed."

"In my opinion, the commercial district is more troublesome. Although the androids spared them, many people still died from that violent ninjutsu."

"Many people have never mastered the power of chakra, and they were not retained by the Pure Land after death. The current business environment can be said to have completely disappeared, and it will take a long time to rebuild it."

As Furukawa Osamu softly inquired, he tightened his embrace around his teacher. Tsunade merely nuzzled him twice, no longer looking out the window, and buried her face in her chest, muttering:

"I was thinking about what happened before. If I had been able to control the ninja clan's greed during the promotion of the secret medicine, perhaps none of this would have happened."

"In terms of raw materials, perhaps we shouldn't cooperate with the daimyo. Companies outside the ninja village are actually good options."

"Unfortunately, I was still limited by my ninja mindset at the time and did not realize the changes in the world."

These days, Tsunade, who has always maintained the dignity of the Hokage, seems to have become a weak woman. When talking about her decisions and the advice she heard from Osamu Furukawa, her regret grows stronger.

"If the ninja clan could be controlled, Minato, the Fifth Hokage, would not be swayed by self-interest."

"Now that the ninjas have decided to step into the limelight, the Hokage should be given more power. Co-governance is a product of compromise..."

“Xiu, you are right. There is nothing wrong with governing a country with the right mindset. This is not so-called ambition, but for better development.”

Feeling Tsunade sighing in his arms, Furukawa Osamu gently stroked his cheek and responded earnestly:

"The teacher has done a great job. At least these years, ninjas have lived a prosperous life and have been freed from the constraints of missions."

"As for this accident, it's still related to the sacred tree, or you could say it's because of me..."

"Um..."

Tsunade kissed her disciple, interrupting his self-reproach. She didn't like unreasonable girls and naturally understood the root cause of this situation: the ninja who controlled chakra was too arrogant.

Only when Tsunade gently pushed against his chest did Furukawa Osamu end their exchange, embracing the soft, voluptuous body in his arms once more, and softly comforting her:

"The village will continue; the ninja profession simply needs to be redefined."

"At the end of the month, we will go to the Iron Country together to attend the United Nations meeting. Small countries have also suffered significant losses this time. It is time to work together to formulate new rules."

Tsunade closed her eyes and nodded slightly. She didn't want to pay attention to those troublesome matters at all. The economic loss statistics alone had kept her up for several days. This was a regression for the entire ninja world.

"You can decide for me. After all, you gave the ninjas of Konoha, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and those small countries a second life."

"They have lost their power, and they should realize the seriousness of the problem. The world must change."

Tsunade, who was murmuring to herself, tilted her head back and was kissed. She quickly became immersed in her disciple's comfort. After her clothes were mostly open, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Even though she knew that only Shizune was currently allowed to enter the room, Tsunade still blushed slightly. She always felt embarrassed to be like this in front of her disciple.

"Ah!...Um, teacher, I...I've come at the wrong time..."

"No, Jingyin, you've come at just the right time. The teacher is very worried about everyone's physical condition after the resurrection. The test reports should be out by now, right?"

With a smile on his face, Furukawa Osamu, who was shirtless, gave a simple reply and waved to Shizune.

"I...that..."

Shizune's face was flushed red, and steam almost rose from her hair. Tsunade glared at Furukawa Osamu, then said softly:

"Let me see the report. Okay, mute. There's no need to be shy. This is our own life."

"Yes, Tsunade-sensei!"

Shizune hurriedly handed over the report with her head down. When she caught a glimpse of the exposed, large, white skin, her breathing became rapid. When she was held in Furukawa Osamu's arms, she almost got "mosquito coil eyes".

"As expected, there was no way to recover; the process controlling cellular energy had gone wrong."

"Is this the function of the Pure Land? Storing the energy carried by the soul, what an incredible technique!"

After repeatedly confirming the relevant experimental data, Tsunade's research desire was amplified once again. Spirits could store chakra, and chakra could carry information about the origin of life.

This world is more wondrous than she imagined, and her exploration of chakra is still in its early stages.

When Tsunade looked up again, she saw Shizune's fair, glowing skin and her breath caught in her throat. Shizune nestled in Furukawa Osamu's arms, not daring to look up, and just kept whispering:

"Teacher, don't do that...look at me..."

...

The Hyuga clan suffered heavy losses in this attack. Because they were fighting on the front lines, all the elite ninjas in the clan who were over 25 years old died in the battle to protect the Hokage.

Hiashi Hyuga, as the head of the clan, escaped unscathed, but was severely injured by a cyborg that self-destructed while protecting the younger members of the clan.

Fortunately, after more than half a month of treatment, Hiashi Hyuga's body has recovered most of its strength, but what pains him is that his eldest daughter, Hinata, disappeared during the attack.

Inside the treehouse, looking at Hyuga Tokuma kneeling before him, Hyuga Hiashi, filled with sorrow, pondered and gave the following instructions:

"Alright, Tokuma, Hinata's situation wasn't your fault. Things were too chaotic back then. The Kage Rock collapsed; no one could have predicted it."

"Hinata is a member of the Hyuga clan, and she was prepared to leave the ninja ranks."

"Clan leader, I have failed your trust and was unable to protect Lady Hinata..."

Hiashi Hyuga waved his hand dismissively. Whether his daughter was missing or dead, the most important thing right now was to ensure the future of the Hyuga clan.

"Tokuma, have you collected any data on the Byakugan? Will everyone still be able to activate the Byakugan during this period?"

"There's a problem with my body's chakra extraction. I can still use the Byakugan, but I can't use it for as long as I used to."

"Chieftain, are we really going to have to transform? Also, what's the situation with the United Nations? Everyone is feeling uneasy after hearing the news."

No one could stop the UN General Assembly at the end of the month, and the ninja clan might lose its autonomy in the future, which was very bad for them.

Hiashi Hyuga remained silent for a long while. Instead of answering the question directly, he asked again in a deep voice:

"How are things going with the Land of Hot Water? Who will the Land of Hot Water send to the UN meeting?"

Thinking of the statistics, Hyuga Tokuma lowered his head again, tears welling in his eyes, and choked out his reply:

“Our clansmen in the Land of Hot Water have been confirmed dead and have not been resurrected, and all related industries have been destroyed.”

"It is said that the Land of Hot Water has unconditionally agreed to the United Nations' regulations, and currently, companies from the Land of Waves are acquiring various industries there, seemingly with the Land of Water playing a leading role behind the scenes."

"The situation is similar in other small countries. The ninja clan's industries have been completely destroyed, and even some ordinary people's businesses have been involved in the acquisition."

"Is that really how it is?... "

Upon hearing the answer, Hiashi Hyuga murmured to himself. In his view, the Kara organization's purposeful attack had given them an opportunity to unify the ninja world.

The influence of the ninja clan will continue to decline in the coming years, and related industries will be unable to recover. They will have to find someone to take over and give up most of their profits.

"Chieftain, what should we do if we no longer monopolize those herbs? If the United Nations pushes forward, it seems the Land of Fire will become a state. Who will be responsible for defense?"

"The village is currently severely weakened. It will take at least five years for the younger generation to grow up, which means..."

Hyuga Tokuma had only spoken half a sentence when a bitter smile appeared on his face. The Hyuga clan had to reform. Without their monopoly on business and without their commissioned tasks, they had to find a new direction for the future.

Hiashi Hyuga sighed helplessly. In fact, he had been thinking about these things for the past two weeks, and he even hoped that his clansmen would recover.

The reality is incredibly cruel. The resurrected ninjas have lost most of their power. Even the Fifth Hokage couldn't solve the chakra problem and can't even activate secret techniques.

"What's the situation with the Uchiha clan? I remember that their resurrected members are about the same as ours; half of their clan members are unable to return to this world."

"Uchiha Sasuke and a portion of his clan have temporarily settled in Kirigakure, and they seem to have abandoned all their businesses."

"Aside from a portion of the Uchiha members who are involved in the construction project, the others seem to be planning to return to the branch of Kirigakure."

Hyuga Tokuma recounted the information he had obtained, and Hyuga Hiashi was stunned. Both being from prestigious clans, the Uchiha seemed to have "given up" and only sought to continue their bloodline.

Although he had anticipated this situation after observing it for more than half a month, Hiashi Hyuga was still shocked when the Uchiha actually gave up, as that was a huge sum of money.

"I understand. I will continue to communicate with the other clan leaders before the UN meeting."

"You have worked hard to complete the mission during this time. As long as Lady Tsunade is here, the village will definitely be able to continue. Don't let your imagination run wild."

"Yes, Chieftain!"

After Hyuga Tokuma took his leave, Hyuga Hiashi sat alone in the room for a long time until the door was pushed open a crack, and Hyuga Hanabi peeked out and asked in a low voice:

"Father, have you found my sister?"

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for protecting me, my sister wouldn't have fallen..."

Hinata Hanabi had asked her more than once in the past few days, each time with a guilty look on her face. The girl could not forget the scene when her sister pushed her away and fell. She just wanted to see her sister alive.

"Hinata will be alright. It's good news that we haven't found her."

"Xiu has confirmed that Hinata is not in the Pure Land. Hanabi, don't worry about your sister. Now you need to take care of yourself."

"A new world has arrived, and the Hyuga clan will soon undergo a great transformation..."

Hiashi Hyuga gave a brief reply: his eldest daughter was missing, the clan's strength had waned, and related industries had been hit. As the clan leader, he was overwhelmed and could only pray in secret.

Hanabi's face showed disappointment again, and she nodded helplessly. She really missed her sister, but she didn't know where to look for her.

When Hanabi returned to her cabin, she took out the red scarf that was half-knitted again. It was an important gift that her sister had thrown to her when she fell. She knew that it was knitted for Naruto.

"Sister, Naruto-kun isn't here..."

"Come back quickly, you don't want to miss the scene of Naruto-kun's resurrection, do you!"

Clutching her scarf and shedding tears, Hanabi murmured to herself that having grown up in a peaceful era, she finally understood the "war" described in her textbooks. Ninjas would die in large numbers, and ninjas were not special.

-

As May drew to a close, with all the daimyo killed in the raid and the nobles of various countries suffering heavy casualties, and these people unable to be resurrected, the representatives of the smaller countries were ultimately chosen from among the local figures of high standing.

Small countries naturally have unwavering support for the United Nations General Assembly. Although they have been doing well these past few years, who can guarantee that the five major powers will never go to war again?

If joining the United Nations would grant them protection from Osamu Furukawa, the representatives of small countries would be more than happy to agree.

Upon receiving the document from the Land of Water, the general of the Land of Iron immediately announced the country's accession to the United Nations, decisively forgetting his neutral status.

Upon learning that the conference was being held in their own country, they disregarded the casualties among their samurai and forcibly organized a celebration. When interviewed by magazine and newspaper reporters, the voluptuous general of the Land of Iron proudly stated:

"The Land of Iron will always be Lord Shu's staunch ally!"

"The great Lord Xiu will decide the future of this planet. He is not only the hope of the ninja world, but also the sun of all mankind!"

"Under Lord Xiu's guidance, we will step into a new world together!"

Although this kind of flattery was low-class, it was very effective. Representatives from small countries gathered around the general of the Land of Iron, all wanting to get news about Furukawa Osamu as soon as possible.

After the representatives of the five major powers arrived one after another on the 29th, the rebuilt capital of the Iron Kingdom was once again in an uproar. Tomorrow, everyone will witness the birth of the United Nations!

As for any opposition, it's practically impossible for anyone to object. Whenever dissenting voices emerge, someone will immediately condemn them.

"Only Lord Xiu can protect us! If you don't join the United Nations, prepare to face the wrath of all of us!"

What started as a voluntary act has now evolved into a declaration of loyalty. However, for countries seeking asylum, flattery is the most cost-effective public relations tactic...

At 9 a.m. the next day, the gates of the outer city wall of the capital of the Land of Iron opened one by one, and the Fifth Raikage Darui and the Fourth Tsuchikage Kouto arrived together.

Both of them only brought two guards with them. After being resurrected, their strength was greatly reduced. If someone wanted to take their lives, it would be an easy thing for them now.

"I never expected so many casualties this time. It seems the ninjas are truly destined to fade into history..."

Darui, holding his straw hat, looked up at the towering building and sighed softly. Huangtu, standing beside him, had a look of melancholy on his face. His daughter had been resurrected, but her father, Onoki, was completely dead.

"I have let down the generations of filmmakers, and I have let down my father's expectations."

"Not only did we fail to inherit Dust Release, but now we can't even protect the village."

The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, rolled her eyes at the two of them and muttered a few words of complaint:

"Hmph! No one is stopping you from continuing the village of Iwagakure. However, you will have to abide by certain rules in the future. If something like this happens again, Xiu will no longer be kind enough to send you back to this world."

Mei Terumi has been unusually busy these days. More and more ninja clans and ninjas are seeking protection from Kirigakure, and she is so exhausted from handling village affairs that she wants to go on strike.

"The Mizukage is right, ninjas have just changed their role!"

"It's so nice to see you all here."

Minato, who arrived beside the three using the Body Flicker Technique, smiled and took over the conversation while adjusting his straw hat. Soon after, Gaara also appeared in a patch of fine sand. As the Sixth Kazekage, he needed to be present to witness this historic moment.

"Everyone, it's time for us to go in."
