Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"It's a bit strange, but Madara Uchiha's followers suddenly appeared during this period."

"I don't know what happened back then, but they had a huge prejudice against the Second Hokage."

Shisui only noticed this trend when he attended a clan meeting before arriving at the front lines; someone tried to win him over by saying a lot of bad things about Tobirama Senju...

Uchiha Shisui was completely baffled, which is why he volunteered to come to the front lines.

The most useful thing he's learned in recent years is effective communication. Taking too much medication and overthinking will only make things worse.

"These are all old stories; the Hokage isn't omniscient or omnipotent."

"We haven't experienced those things, so we can only look forward. There's no need to worry. It's normal for different voices to emerge within the ninja clan. In fact, it proves that the Uchiha have become stronger."

As soon as Furukawa finished speaking, Shisui revealed a look of reverence:

"If you could become Hokage, the village would definitely prosper even more!"

"Becoming Hokage is not my goal. Let's go. We should go back after a few more days of work. Teacher will be taking office in June."

Watching Furukawa Osamu's retreating figure, Uchiha Shisui jogged after him, silently making up his mind:

"We must keep up with our seniors so that we can better help them!"

When the Cloud Village ninja leader arrived in Konoha, he saw the bustling scene of people coming and going in the village, and all of them showed complicated expressions.

Due to the fighting on the front lines, the ninja missions assigned by the Cloud Village have also encountered problems.

Konoha only sent two young ninjas, while the Sannin stayed behind. The mission was not affected; on the contrary, it gained more trust from the client.

Prestige is extremely important for ninja villages, as evidenced by the increasingly impoverished Sunagakure, which has become a vassal of Konoha.

"Sir, are we truly bound by the peace treaty?"

The Cloud Village ninja leader, upon hearing his subordinate's question, subconsciously stroked his chin and mustache. Noticing the resentful expressions on their faces, he responded in a low voice:

"The calls for a ceasefire within the village were too strong, forcing Lord Raikage to compromise."

"As for the contents of the contract, we don't need to strictly abide by them. The important thing is to resume the mission assignment. If we continue to consume resources, we can only watch them continue to develop and accumulate strength."

Just as the group was about to continue their conversation, a squad of Konoha's ANBU suddenly appeared around them.

"Please follow us to the Hokage Building."

"While staying in the village, do not move around unnecessarily to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings."

The ANBU member reminded them in a low voice, and anger appeared on the faces of the Cloud Village ninjas. In the end, it was the ninja leader who waved his hand to stop his companion's angry glare and bowed slightly in response:

"Thank you all for your help. We are ready to meet the Hokage."

On their way to the Hokage Building, the group was surrounded by villagers and Konoha ninja. Hearing the noise around them, the Cloud Village ninja almost exploded on the spot.

"The Fourth Raikage was indeed intimidated by Lord Xiu, and actually sent someone to negotiate!"

"If it weren't for Lord Xiu showing mercy, the Raikage would already be dead."

"After all, we have to take care of our comrades in the village. The Cloud Village ninjas are really despicable, using us to block the harm."

Discussions were incessant. Seeing that the usually tough Cloud Village ninjas had actually taken the initiative to negotiate, many Konoha ninjas began to believe the even more exaggerated battle reports.

...

After the meeting began, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado didn't say a word; Hiruzen Sarutobi presided over most of the meeting.

Tsunade would occasionally offer some opinions, which the Cloud Village ninja mostly agreed with, except when it came to the Frost Defense Line.

Just when the two senior advisors thought the other party would try to negotiate, the leader of the Cloud Village ninja agreed to the condition of holding the border at the end of the talks.

The Land of Frost was completely ceded to the Leaf Village ninjas, and a somewhat surprised Hiruzen Sarutobi had to solemnly remind them:

"If Konoha ninjas encounter your attacks in the Land of Frost, we will consider such behavior a serious provocation."

"Konoha will have the right to wage war on behalf of the Land of Frost."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, but after agreeing to this clause, we also hope to reach some cooperation agreements with Konoha."

"The commission from the Frost Kingdom will be shared by both of us."

The Cloud Village's ninja leader didn't mention what would happen if the Frost Country's ninjas lacked missions, and the same was true for the Leaf Village, who forgot about the "fence-sitters."

The initial meeting between the two sides was very successful. As the Cloud Village ninja left, Mitokado Homura couldn't help but sigh:

"It seems that the Cloud Village ninjas' fear of battle is more severe than we imagined."

"With the Frost Country as a buffer zone, the village will enter a period of rapid development in the next few years, barring any accidents."

Koharu, squinting, wasn't so optimistic. Her old friend had barely finished speaking when she immediately spoke up to remind her:

"Considering the recent coordinated attack by the Cloud Village ninja with the Mist Village, the enemy may have abandoned their ground attack plan."

"The enemy can launch a direct surprise attack from the eastern part of the Land of Fire. Their naval vehicles are far more advanced than ours, and the Land of Lightning's industry is ahead of the Land of Fire's."

The new transport vehicles appear to be powered by lightning-style chakra. Konoha intelligence personnel were unable to obtain accurate information, but the enemy did indeed deploy transport ships in the war.

"There's nothing we can do about it; the two countries have different strategies."

"Tsunade, after signing this agreement, we should prepare for the succession ceremony. Some costumes need to be made to order, and the daimyo has already sent craftsmen."

"The handover of the department will also take a month, so please bear with us during this time."

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't worried about a surprise attack from the Cloud Village ninja; the supply line was the real problem. He turned to Tsunade, smiled, and gave her instructions. At that moment, he felt incredibly relaxed.

"Okay, okay, what a hassle! It's just a piece of clothing..."

Tsunade sighed helplessly. The Fire Country Daimyo had gone to great lengths this time, and she had no choice but to accept his kindness.

During the time that Osamu Furukawa was away, Tsunade also sensed trouble.

She couldn't use her shadow clones to organize the documents properly, nor could she handle complex surgeries while suffering from hemophobia.

After taking on two jobs, Tsunade completely abandoned the idea of ​​transferring Osamu Furukawa away from her side, and also put her complicated thoughts behind her.

As the Fourth Hokage, it's perfectly normal for him to have his disciples serve him and lighten his burden!

Lost in thought, Tsunade forgot about Danzo's absence from the meeting, and began to look forward to working together with him.

"Getting involved in these government affairs can also help Xiu grow."

-

After the Cloud Village ninja leaders signed the "mutual assistance" agreement, the Konoha ninjas who remained in the village were in an uproar.

Konoha will enjoy this hard-won peace as a victorious nation!

Because the frontline ninjas need to redeploy their bases in the Land of Frost, it will take some time before they can return. The Konoha ninjas in the Land of Frost have no objections to this.

When the news reached the front lines, the atmosphere in the camp became even more joyful. They had fought the last battles before peace, and with this achievement, everyone had to look up to them.

Minato Namikaze was also happy, as peace meant he could spend more time with Kushina.

If war were to break out again, and he were to gain further control of the Nine-Tails, Kushina could accompany him on missions. Just thinking about that kind of happy life made Minato wish he could return to the village immediately.

In the evening, the Konoha ninjas chatted around the campfire about their future lives. Although the Uchiha ninjas were a little depressed, they weren't stupid; peace was always a good thing.

In contrast, Furukawa Osamu was somewhat disappointed. His spirit body could hold more energy and restrain his killing power, so the Cloud Village eventually stopped fighting.

The palm-sized slug wriggled onto Furukawa Osamu's shoulder, seemingly sensing his mood, and soothed him in a soft, gentle voice:

"Master Xiu, based on your current physical condition, you should be able to complete your first awakening by September at the latest."

"The spirit clones are still working hard, and this is already faster than planned."

"I just lament that the war ended too quickly."

Furukawa Osamu sighed. Fortunately, he still had gains in Mist Village and Rain Village, which would allow him to continue to improve his spiritual strength over the next few years.

Seeing Furukawa Osamu's "exhausted" appearance, Minato handed him a rice ball and couldn't help but offer words of comfort:

"I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days. I'm not suited for direct confrontation, and the development of the new technique has also encountered difficulties. Fortunately, I completed the mission excellently."

"Get some rest once you get back to the village!"

Furukawa Osamu nodded, and upon hearing that the development of ninjutsu was encountering difficulties, he immediately spoke up to offer a reminder:

"Is it a nature change of the Rasengan? I think we can use Sage Mode to perfect this technique."

"Now is not the time to relax. Every bit of strength we have means a greater guarantee."

"After all, this peace is based on absolute power. During the Five Kage Summit, the Fourth Raikage was firmly opposed to it."

Recalling how the Fourth Raikage had been suppressed by the three old men, his face turning ashen, Minato smiled. This peace, after all, still harbored some hidden dangers:

"Sage techniques are still too difficult! When I get back, I'll ask Lord Fukasaku. He's 800 years old, and such an elder should be able to give me some advice."

"I also considered compressing the Rasengan before launching it, but that would be just as difficult."

"Kushina is more suited to ninjutsu like the Rasengan; she should be able to do it more easily than I am..."

Looking at Minato, who longed to go home, Furukawa Osamu suddenly thought of Kakashi and Rin Nohara. He knew they were definitely happier than he remembered.

"Madara Uchiha probably never imagined the flaws in his plan. He was resurrected from the dead, and the real world is no longer 'hell'."

As the two were chatting, Uchiha Shisui suddenly felt a surge of heat in his eyes upon seeing this peaceful scene, and the intense chakra made him instinctively cover his eyes.

"Shisui, you...you've actually awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan!"

"As expected of a genius from the Uchiha clan!"

"The clan leader is right. We can't stop taking the medication. Combined with battle, the Sharingan will evolve even faster."

Hearing the exclamations of his clansmen, Uchiha Shisui felt a strange sense of fear; the new drug seemed to be enhancing his eye power as well.

"The clan leader must never know about the new drug..."

Chapter 129 The Power of "God"

At the end of April, the war that had lasted for several years officially came to an end. The Cloud Village ninja withdrew from the Land of Frost, and Konoha won the final victory.

This result surprised many people. The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, thought the reckless young man would fight to the end, but he only lasted for two months.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was the same. The Sand Village ninja secretly hoped that Konoha and Kumogakure would fight to the death, and when they learned that the two sides had stopped fighting, everyone was somewhat disappointed.

In Kirigakure, the competition among multiple candidates for the position of Mizukage has reached a fever pitch.

Fortunately, the village's affairs were handled by the elders. Upon learning that the war was over, the master no longer condemned Furukawa Osamu for killing the Mizukage. Instead, the old man turned around and praised the achievements of the Third Mizukage:

"The peace agreement reached at the Five Kage Summit laid the foundation for peace in the ninja world."

Few of the Hidden Mist ninja paid any attention to the old man; the struggle between the Blood Mist faction and the Reform faction had reached its most intense moment.

-

During this period, besides receiving instruction from Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha spent most of his time observing the struggles in Kirigakure.

Unlike Amegakure, Kirigakure has fewer quests, but they are still enough to satisfy most ninjas.

"See that? Killing is a ninja's instinct."

"As long as the concept of winners exists, the concept of losers also exists."

"This is the cause and effect that Madara spoke of. As his agent, you must sever everything."

Obito, possessed by White Zetsu, suddenly appeared on a tree branch. Hearing the voice beside him, the boy frowned slightly, seemingly making a connection to something, and muttered to himself:

"Winners and losers? Is this also a kind of cause and effect?"

"Shouldn't the Mizukage be elected based on everyone's approval? Or do they only consider the contest of strength?"

Suddenly, half of White Zetsu's body was covered in black. After hearing Obito's question, Black Zetsu responded in a hoarse voice:

"It seems you're still caught up in a false Will of Fire?"

"You have the blood of the Uchiha clan flowing in your veins. Even if you gain recognition, you cannot become Hokage."

"Lord Madara realized this back then, which is why he chose to leave."

"The same goes for the Mizukage. Those commoner ninjas are just tools. Some people are born to be the Mizukage. That's the cruel reality of the world."

Seeing the thoughtful look on Obito's face, Black Zetsu spoke up again, trying to entice him:

"See that girl from the Anbu? She possesses two bloodline limits; no matter how hard an ordinary ninja tries, they can never surpass that talent."

"Your so-called recognition is useless in the face of talent. With such power, this girl is born to become the Mizukage more easily than an ordinary ninja."

"That's precisely why we must end this cruel world..."
