In the meeting room.
The Mist and Konoha ninjas listened with flushed and excited faces.
Kakashi was even more impressed with himself, his choice was indeed correct, Yoru was truly a legendary existence capable of rewriting the history of Konoha and the ninja world.
"All of this is for the peace between the Mist and Konoha. It will take time to see the results, so I ask everyone to work hard with me. In eight years, I believe we can see the initial effects in five years, and in eight years there will be no distinction between us."
Any integration takes time, and time can heal all.
Uchiha Yoru looked firmly at everyone and finally said in a deep voice, "Also, I have decided to establish the 13th Division, an elite ninja force that will maintain peace in the ninja world in the future."
"The 13th Division consists of the first division, which issues commands; the second division, which handles assassinations and gathers intelligence; the third division, which provides emergency backup and support for other divisions; the fourth division, which handles comprehensive rescue and medical treatment; the fifth division..."
Uchiha Yoru slowly explained the structure of the 13th Division. Kakashi, listening to this, frowned and scratched his white hair in confusion.
"Lord Yoru, the establishment of the 13th Division seems to gather elites, covering various aspects of the two great ninja villages."
Seeing Kakashi's confusion, Uchiha Yoru smiled, "Kakashi, you are right, but did I say that the 13th Division will be formed within a year or two?"
His words surprised everyone. Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Once the 13th Division is fully established, ordinary members must at least reach the level of elite Chunin, and special Jounin and Jounin may compete for established positions (squad leaders)."
"The vice-captain position is tentatively set for those who at least reach the elite Jounin level to be eligible for election, and for the captain! Without a Kage-level, there is no captain!"
Boom!
After Uchiha Yoru's words, everyone was shocked and then became even more enthusiastic. His words almost meant that once the 13th Division was fully established, the ninja world might be united by then.
The vice-captain requires at least elite Jounin level just for eligibility, which means the captain is very likely to be of Kage-level strength.
And the captain goes without saying, without kage-level strength, it's better to leave the captain's position vacant.
"There's no rush for this. I plan to establish the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth divisions within five years, with selections from the two great ninja villages."
"Now, please, for the future."
Finally, Uchiha Yoru stood up and looked solemnly at everyone, and they all shouted in unison, "For peace."
Jiraiya, seeing this scene, was stunned. What was this, brainwashing? It felt a bit like the Root department.
As the meeting ended, Shiraishi Genma, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tatami all looked pale and weak, staring at Uchiha Yoru with hopeful eyes.
Seeing this, Uchiha Yoru burst into laughter, "Alright, no rush. Everyone has rarely come back, and the border areas are well arranged, so I'm giving everyone a two-day holiday."
"But only two days! Everyone must return to their posts after two days."
Hearing this, Shiraishi Genma, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tatami finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Flying Thunder God technique had made them tearful, as they had become part of a transport formation.
"Yoru, the Mist Village can't be delayed for a moment, I must stabilize the Mist Village as soon as possible."
Everyone else was fine, but only Terumi Mei looked determined at this moment, and Uchiha Yoru nodded seriously after listening.
"Alright, I will personally send you there."
…
The entire ninja world fell into a strange peace, and the friction between ninja villages surprisingly subsided under the strong rise of Uchiha Yoru. After Uchiha Yoru decisively defeated the ten thousand Mist ninjas led by the Fourth Mizukage, internal strife erupted in the Mist Village, further intensified by the personal appearance of the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei.
With almost no resistance from the Mist Village, since the attackers were also from their own village, led by their own Mizukage and with the assistance of the prestigious elder of the village, the Mist Village quickly accepted the situation. Their own people were still in command, only with an additional leader above the Mizukage.
Following the subjugation of the Mist Village, Uchiha Yoru seemed to give up on starting wars, leading to an eerie peace in the ninja world. However, everyone was aware that the next Great Ninja War could potentially be the most brutal in history.
Rumors circulated that Uchiha Yoru had captured the Three-Tails, but he neither confirmed nor denied these rumors, and no one dared to question him directly.
Konoha and the Mist Village announced an official merger, signifying a partnership in life and death. The Land of Fire and the Land of Water also began a close integration.
In the Rock Village, news broke that the Six-Tails was missing. The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was shocked by the S-rank intel sent from the Mist Village. After reading the S-rank report issued by the Fifth Mizukage to all major villages, Onoki gasped in shock, wondering whether this was a staged act by Uchiha Yoru or a real conspiracy in the ninja world.
The Mist Village released a statement that the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, the Fourth Mizukage, was taken away by a mysterious masked man using space-time ninjutsu, and later the Six-Tails Jinchuriki also disappeared. All clues pointed towards this mysterious masked man.
Onoki inquired about any leads on this mysterious man from his Anbu, but they could only confirm his existence in the ninja world, leading to speculation about Uchiha Yoru's possible involvement in staging these events.
Onoki, recognizing Uchiha Yoru as a formidable individual with the strength and arrogance of his ancestor, Uchiha Madara, realized that Uchiha Yoru also possessed cunning tactics, unlike Madara's more direct approach.
Both the Kazekage and Raikage received similar intel and shared Onoki's suspicions about Uchiha Yoru's possible involvement in these events.
However, afterwards, Konoha revealed a piece of information to the three great nations, which made them take delight in the misfortune.
The man with the mask is suspected to have been involved in human body research under Shimura Danzo of the Root Division. Somehow he escaped, having both the Wood Release and the Mangekyo Sharingan.
This reasoning is well-founded, as it is a known fact in the ninja world that Danzo stole the Kekkei Genkai from his own village. Having both the Mangekyo Sharingan and Wood Release is an indisputable fact.
Since Danzo dared to experiment with these on himself, he must have conducted human trials first. Otherwise, nobody would be foolish enough to try. Perhaps it's really a case of an experimental subject escaping.
The five great nations have never ceased their clandestine human experimentation. Incidents of experimental subjects suddenly causing chaos or almost escaping, causing significant damage, are not uncommon.
Moreover, the success of these test subjects involves too many coincidences. You can only attribute these events to luck (metaphysics); they are inexplicable and irreproducible.
The Villages of the Three-Tails and Six-Tails have not given up their suspicions. Who knows what Uchiha Yoru actually has in his possession?
In the world of ninjas, at the base of Akatsuki.
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, and the Six-Tails jinchuriki Utakata lie unconscious in a dark stone cave, their bodies covered with sealing jutsu talismans.
"Nagato, temporarily seal and hide the Three-Tails and Six-Tails jinchuriki, and wait for the future to seal them."
The Gedo Statue, to seal the Tailed Beasts, must start with the One-Tail. If it weren't for the sake of Uchiha Yoru this time, they wouldn't be in such a hurry.
"Although exposed, the ninja world might also suspect that this is a play directed and acted by Uchiha Yoru. After all, hiding jinchuriki is something the great ninja villages excel at."
Uchiha Obito, wearing the mask, says with a sneer. The ninja world is secretly investigating him, and he is well aware of it.
Pain looks at the two jinchuriki with his Rinnegan, his voice cold: "Akatsuki's manpower is still insufficient, and now your identity has been exposed."
Uchiha Obito naturally understands the other party's meaning. This time he doesn't intend to hide and says in a deep voice: "Fine, I will join Akatsuki under the identity of a former human experiment subject of the Konoha Root Division."
In the original story, Uchiha Obito always hid in the dark, but with his exposure this time, it's clear he can no longer stay hidden. Therefore, he chooses to join Akatsuki under another identity.
After all, he possesses both Wood Release and the Mangekyo Sharingan, making this identity both logical and reasonable.
"Currently, the organization already has members: Deidara, Sasori of the Sand, Kakuzu, Konan, and Zetsu. That's only five people, half of the planned ten-member team."
Pain coldly lists the current members of the organization, pointing out that they are half short of the original ten-member team. Uchiha Obito is left speechless after hearing this.
The members he initially targeted, such as Kisame and Biwa Juzo, have now joined Uchiha Yoru's. What a pity.
"Pain, Konan, and I will form one team for now. The remaining two combinations, I already have information on the candidates."
"Hidan from the Hot Water Village possesses evil god techniques and can form an undead duo with Kakuzu. Deidara from the Hidden Stone Village can team up with Sasori."
Uchiha Obito passes on the information about the two, and Pain nods expressionlessly upon seeing it.
"Now that two of the nine Tailed Beasts have been collected, there are seven left. The eight-member team is just right."
Clearly, at this point, both of them have no suitable candidates left.
…
Konoha.
As time passes, the integration of ninjas from Konoha and the Mist Village becomes increasingly harmonious, especially the integration of the Mist's bloodline ninjas, which is like releasing a hundred and twenty true hearts.
It's a natural and fast integration when both sides are willing.
Inside the Hokage's office building.
The Fifth Mizukage is now in charge of the Mist Village, while the Fifth Hokage Tsunade has already found an excuse to go to the medical team (Team 4) and slip away.
Now, only Uchiha Yoru is left in the office, and almost all the government affairs of the two countries are in his hands.
"Yoru, this mission?"
Kakashi Hatake, who comes into the Hokage's office, has one eye full of doubt. Now, with the changes in Konoha, the dark aura of his past as an Anbu is almost invisible.
The current Kakashi already has the laid-back white-haired presence he had when he first appeared in the original story, and the one visible eye often shows smiles and resignation.
Looking at Kakashi's confusion, Yoru, with two shadow clones handling government affairs on each side, looks solemnly out the window at the Hokage Rock.
"Kakashi, why do ninja villages, despite having powerful ninjas, still have to be subject to the Daimyo?"
This question causes Kakashi to break into a cold sweat. Looking at Uchiha Yoru, he becomes serious and after a deep thought, speaks solemnly.
"Because the starting point of a ninja is as a tool, possessors of powerful destructive abilities, but they do not engage in production, and most of the ninja world consists of civilians, who are key to the workforce."
"As you, Yoru, once said, most people have limited abilities. When ninjas focus on strengthening their power, they cannot be distracted by other things. The existence of the Daimyo governs most of the civilians in the country, just like the Hokage leads the ninja village."
Hearing Kakashi's explanation, Uchiha Yoru shows a satisfied smile and claps his hands.
"Well done, Kakashi. With your intelligence, you are indeed qualified to be the Kage of a village."
Facing Uchiha Yoru's praise, Kakashi Hatake smiles wryly, "Yoru, don't joke. Although there have been some secret schemes between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water recently, handling them poorly could lead to turmoil."
In response to Kakashi's concern, Uchiha Yoru's lips curl into a smile, but he throws a question that leaves Kakashi silent and unable to explain.
"So, why do powerful and esteemed ninjas have to be subject to the Daimyo? The Daimyo is merely a ruler of civilians, just like the Kage rules the ninja village. Why then are Onmyoji, samurai, and even professional ninja forces gathered around the Daimyo?"
Facing this question, Kakashi Hatake is silent for a long while before looking up and speaking softly, "Yoru, the ninja monks of the Fire Temple are spread throughout the Land of Fire, and the samurai trained by the Daimyo's court are a formidable force."
"Yes, it is a formidable force," Uchiha Yoru agrees and then asks again, "A country with two voices? What is this, Kakashi, can you tell me?"
Kakashi doesn't know how to answer and remains silent, while Uchiha Yoru's expression gradually turns to anger, slamming his hand on the desk and saying sternly, "This is division!"
