Chapter 296: Four years later |
Year 53 since the founding of Konoha.
Konoha's Shadow Guards secretly entered the Wind Country and suddenly attacked Sunagakure, officially declaring the beginning of the Fourth Ninja World War as well, called the war for the unification of the ninja world.
But wars are often unpredictable.
The moment Konoha fought against Sunagakure, Nagato attacked the Great Ninja Villages with the help of the ninja revived by the Edo Tensei, starting to quickly capture the Bijuu in their hands.
Finally.
Uchiha Madara was resurrected.
He gathered the power of the Bijuu and revived the Jubi, and then became their Jinchuriki and received the power of the Sage of the Six Paths, intending to immerse the entire world in an illusion.
But at that moment, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Hatake Yeruashi, took action.
He defeated the army of ninja revived by the Edo Tensei that attacked Sunagakure and then crushed Madara himself, putting an end to his ambitions.
But just the news about Uchiha Madara was enough for the entire ninja world to be silenced by its spread.
This great news affected not only the ninja, but thanks to Konoha's efforts, it spread widely among the common people, shocking everyone!
Ordinary people, as a rule, don't know much about ninja.
Only people like the Five Kages of the Great Ninja Towns, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were known, and everything else was generally not widely distributed.
It was precisely because the name Uchiha Madara was widely known among the civilian population and described in all the historical books that these events became widespread and shocked people all over the world.
The name Yeruashi has spread all over the world.
But this time, not only among ninja, but also among ordinary people. Gradually, people all over the world began to call him the legendary ninja.
After this war.
Sunagakure, which suffered great losses, became part of Konoha and, three months later, after careful preparation and evaluation, more than half of the Sunagakure ninja moved to Konoha.
The remaining ninja merged with nearly a thousand Konoha ninja sent to the Wind Country, forming the first branch of Konoha.
It was decided to place it in the previously destroyed Sunagakure.
In the course of all this.
The Sunagakure ninja, who would not obey, were immediately brutally executed, according to the order of the Fifth Hokage. These incidents were neither documented nor made public.
Unification is always accompanied by blood and darkness.
There is no unity without blood, and even if something like this were to happen, the resulting united country would never be truly stable.
Along with Sunagakure's surrender to Konoha, the Wind Country also collapsed.
The Wind Country bowed its head and officially became part of the Fire Country.
In the coming months.
The vast territory of the Wind Country became part of the Fire Country.
Yeruashi also contributed to a smooth and stable unification, that is, he significantly changed the environment of the Wind Country with the help of Mokuton. He created a large amount of vegetation in the desolate and windy territory of the Wind Country, making it more habitable.
This event greatly shocked the inhabitants of the Windy Country. In the eyes of many people, Yeruashi became a legendary ninja, comparable to the Sage of the Six Paths.
This contributed greatly to the strengthening and stability of the Fire Country.
Then.
After another two months, Kumogakure surrendered to Konoha.
In the last war, Kumogakure suffered far more severe and tragic losses than Sunagakure.
But due to the tough and uncompromising nature of the Kumogakure ninja, the unification of Kumogakure was accompanied by a great baptism of blood and fire.
The fourth Raikage fell at the hands of Kakashi of the Sharingan.
With the surrender of Kumogakure, the Lightning Country also became part of the Fire Country.
Controlling and maintaining a stable situation in the territory of the three great countries at the same time was the current limit of Konoha.
Yeruashi made the decision to stop expanding for a while and devoted himself to personal development.
But.
Even if Konoha did not make any moves, the remaining Water and Earth Countries were afraid. Kirigakure and Iwagakure immediately received a large amount of funds, hoping that they could develop their strength in the shortest possible time.
But almost everyone understood that it was useless.
Konoha did not act alone because it would be too difficult to maintain stability and order in the territory of the four major countries absorbed at once, because the newly absorbed ninja of Sunagakure and Kumogakure still require careful supervision and verification. The combined forces of other villages not only cannot play a major role, but also require a portion of Konoha's forces for constant control.
...
Time passed quickly.
Four years passed.
All this time, Yeruashi waited for Kaguya to return, but nothing happened. It was as if a stone had sunk into the sea and disappeared without a trace.
But Yeruashi knew that Kaguya would return sooner or later.
In fact, he may find the Dragon's Vein and go in pursuit of her, relying on the Rinne-Tenseigan's spatial ability and the Jubi's power as coordinates, but Yeruashi did not do this, because the variables in such a journey are too great. If Yeruashi's luck is too bad during the transition to the parallel world, he may end up right in the chaotic space.
Of course, it will be possible to return with the help of Yomotsu Hirasaka, but if he goes too far, the return may take a long time.
There is no need for such a risk.
Yeruashi decided to simply wait.
During these four years, his life was filled with many daily events. With the exception of four hours a day devoted to body training, the rest of the time was spent mostly watching new TV shows, playing games, and so on... creating life.
Creating life is one of his Rinne-Tenseigan's abilities.
This is a bit like a much improved version of Ryuichi Cave's Senjutsu, an inorganic rebirth that allows you to breathe life energy into inanimate objects and control them, but in fact, this ability certainly can't grant true life.
This is only a Senjutsu that allows you to temporarily control surrounding objects.
Compared to this.
The Rinne-Tenseigan is capable of creating life in the true sense of the word.
For example, you can give the soul in a simple stone and turn it into a living being that resembles a Bijuu.
During these four years, Yeruashi created many such creatures and placed them all in the mountains, tens of kilometers away from Konoha.
The bodies of many created beings consist of water, stone, fire, lightning, and so on.
The strength of these creatures varies greatly, some of them can cause a big headache even to a Jounin, and some can be easily defeated by an ordinary Genin.
The strongest of them were the five creatures that Yeruashi had given Senjutsu to. They represent the five basic elements, Fire, Lightning, Water, Wind and Earth, respectively. After receiving Senjutsu from Yeruashi, they gained the ability to absorb natural energy independently and even split into smaller individuals.
Yeruashi judged that even without his intervention, they will continue to evolve independently and, in the future, these five creatures will become similar to the Sage White Snake and the Great Sage Toad.
Of course.
These creatures were created not only out of boredom but for the sake of the experiment.
The created creatures can sign contracts and become summonable beasts of ninjas. Therefore, some particularly strong creatures have become the desired target of many Konoha ninja, but only a ninja with a rank no lower than Chuunin has the right to enter the 'Valley of Elements' to try to make a contract with one of the creatures living there.
Of course, not every ninja can sign a contract with a strong creature.
But in general.
The 'Valley of the Elements' created by Yeruashi developed at a tremendous pace, rapidly approaching the level of Ryuichi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest and Myōboku Mountain.
It is worth noting that all nine Bijuu are now in Konoha. Kurama still plays and watches TV shows all day, but all the Bijuu had different hobbies, some chose a worthy Jinchuriki and others went to live in peace in the 'Valley of Elements'.
...
Konoha.
In the spacious hall.
"Yeruashi, try the sweets I just made."
"You'd better eat some fruit first."
"No, no, no! You can't eat sweets after the fruit, they'll lose their flavor!"
Kurenai sat to Yeruashi's left, holding a delicious dessert in hand, while Rin sat to his right, holding a peach in her hand.
Yeruashi rolled her eyes, curled her fingers and, at the same time, shook her forehead at the two girls.
"Would you two please let me read the book in peace!"
Four years ago, those lustful girls who lusted after his body began to become increasingly aggressive.
Then incidents began to occur regularly where he would "accidentally" walk into the wrong bathroom, have "strange" drugs poured into his drinks, and so on.
Yeruashi was outraged by the girls' excessive persistence!
But instead of stopping, they became more determined and aggressive.
Recently, Yeruashi had been feeling the need to run away from home more and more to escape these predators!
