The unification of the shinobi world had been completely stabilized.
With the implementation of the new laws of the Land of Fire, cities everywhere had begun to strictly enforce them.
Konoha, compared to before, was now even more prosperous.
Among the bustling crowds, there were many people from other villages, but now they were all part of Konoha.
In the Hokage's office, Tsunade couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as she looked at the flourishing village.
She never imagined that Konoha would reach this state, and Ryujiro's vision had indeed come to fruition.
Konoha had truly unified the entire shinobi world, becoming the undisputed ruler of it.
Reflecting on her time as Hokage, Tsunade felt as though she hadn't accomplished much.
Looking at the stacks of documents on her desk, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Although Konoha had become stronger, her workload had also increased.
And when it came to Ryujiro, her assistant, Tsunade had no control over him whatsoever.
As a result, Tsunade was considering appointing someone else as her assistant in the near future.
Perhaps her beloved disciple Shizune, who had been training in the Medical Department, could help her significantly.
It was probably time for Shizune to return to her side.
Meanwhile, in the Medical Department, Shizune suddenly sneezed, feeling a chill down her spine.
"What's going on?" she wondered.
Poor Shizune had no idea that in the coming days, she would be living through what could only be described as hellish times.
She had no clue that Tsunade's workload now included not only Konoha's documents but also those from other cities.
While Konoha had unified the shinobi world, there were still issues with transportation that needed improvement.
Ryujiro had already proposed some transportation concepts and handed them over to the Research and Development Department for implementation.
As for the matter of public security, aside from a few minor disturbances, there were no significant issues.
The entire shinobi world felt an unprecedented sense of peace.
People no longer feared the outbreak of war, the destruction of their homes, or the death of loved ones in battle.
Even those whose minds had not been altered began to believe that Konoha's decisions were correct.
At least, they had never felt so secure before.
Wars between great nations had always threatened to turn smaller nations into battlefields, but now, even if their countries had become cities, the common people cared only about their future lives.
As long as no one stirred up trouble, this stability could continue indefinitely.
At the Hyuga compound, Ryujiro and Hinata strolled hand in hand through the garden.
Hinata's heart was as sweet as honey, quietly enjoying her days alone with Ryujiro.
Ryujiro, too, savored these moments. After everything he had been through, he felt he deserved some rest.
Character Template: Sosuke Aizen
Character Unlock Progress: 95%
With his progress now at 95%, Ryujiro began to wonder who the next character template would be.
Once he reached 100%, Aizen would disappear entirely from his spiritual world. As for manifesting Aizen in physical form, Ryujiro decided against it.
During this time, Ryujiro and Hinata traveled together, admiring flowers, gazing at the moon, exploring various cities, and enjoying the sights of the shinobi world under Konoha's rule.
These were the most relaxing days Ryujiro had spent in this world.

In the ancient ruins of Roran, the vast energy of the Ryumyaku caused the entire ruin to tremble.
A massive energy pillar shot up into the sky, and three figures emerged from the light.
Madara, Obito, and Black Zetsu had returned from the past.
After returning to the past, Madara had attempted to kill Ryujiro before he could grow stronger.
However, upon arriving in Konoha's past, Madara found no trace of Ryujiro. It was as if Ryujiro had never existed.
This left Madara utterly perplexed.
How could there be no sign of Ryujiro in the past? What was going on? Had he miscalculated the time of Ryujiro's birth? That couldn't be right.
Madara had even sought out Ryujiro's parents, only to discover that they had died long ago in the shinobi world wars. This only deepened Madara's confusion.
Could it be that Ryujiro didn't belong to this world at all?
Now, however, Madara had acquired the power he had long desired.
His skin had turned black and white, and his body was wrapped in a robe formed by yin-yang chakra.
In this form, Madara resembled the Sage of Six Paths himself. He had obtained the legendary power he had always sought.
Now, he had reached the other shore!
He was a god!
"It's time to settle the score for past humiliations!"
Upon returning to the past, Madara had used the Gedo Art of Rinne Rebirth through Nagato, which was why Obito was still alive.
But to Madara, Obito was now just a disposable pawn.
At this moment, White Zetsu appeared beside them, informing them of the current state of the shinobi world.
Madara's face darkened instantly.
"Konoha actually unified the shinobi world? How is that possible?! Are those great nations all useless?!"
As expected, Madara believed that, aside from Ryujiro, the shinobi of this era were nothing but a bunch of weaklings.
He had not expected peace-loving Konoha to take the path of unification.
However, to Madara, unification alone would never bring permanent peace.
As long as humans existed, there would always be conflict. Only by putting the shinobi world into an eternal dream could true peace be achieved.
He saw the current state of affairs as nothing more than the fantasies of children.
Now, Madara was brimming with confidence in his power. He had obtained the Rinnegan's abilities that only the Sage of Six Paths could master.
From this point on, he stood above all life, at the pinnacle of existence.
Back in Konoha, Ryujiro once again donned his battle attire, holding Hinata's hand as he smiled faintly.
"This is the final battle."
While in Konoha, Ryujiro had sensed the eruption of the Ryumyaku's power in Roran. At that moment, he knew exactly who it was—Uchiha Madara.
Now, everything made sense. Madara had used the power of the Ryumyaku to travel back in time, collecting the tailed beasts and reviving the Ten-Tails to seek revenge.
Ryujiro surmised that although the Ryumyaku's power could send someone back in time, the past time-space had no connection with their current reality.
Otherwise, nothing in their present world would have remained unchanged.
This was the source of Madara's confusion as well.
In that time-space, Madara had captured all the tailed beasts and even obtained power surpassing that of the Sage of Six Paths.
