Chapter 673: The End of the Allied Shinobi Village
With the successive departures of the Sand, Rock, Mist, and Cloud shinobi, this joint Kage eting concluded in failure.
Although no one died, and no one truly defeated anyone in a significant sense, the outco of the eting was that the era of the Allied Shinobi Village was over. It also signaled that the entire ninja world would enter a period of chaos for a considerable ti to co.
And it would be a true, thorough chaos.
The Kages, upon returning to their respective villages, imdiately began training their shinobi. The shinobi from the original Allied Shinobi Village were reassigned, and Konoha shinobi mixed within other villages were also sent back to Konoha by the Kages under various pretexts.
The shinobi of the four great villages imdiately underwent training in the use and application of Scientific Ninja Tools.
A truly chaotic era was dawning.
The most surprised were the mbers of Kara and Akatsuki; they seed not to have anticipated such a turn of events. To be so easily defeated by Sasuke and still gain the recognition of the four great ninja villages was unexpected.
Now, although not explicitly stated, everyone's target was implicitly set. That was to deal with Konoha first.
If Konoha was not destroyed, no matter what more they did, no matter how much effort they exerted, it would all be in vain.
Because the sole, supre master in the ninja world, Uchiha Sasuke, was a Konoha ninja.
At the sa ti, Naruto Uzumaki, who had yet to make a move but was considered by all as the most hopeful to counter Uchiha Sasuke, was still Konoha's Hokage.
It could be said that almost half, or even all, of the top-tier powerhouses in the ninja world's pyramid belonged to Konoha. All that was left for the other ninja villages were rely so Kage-level individuals.
Kage-level strength wasn't even worthy of carrying Sasuke's shoes. One must rember that Sasuke could instantly defeat six people in a second, and these six were by no ans weaker than Kage-level, which spoke volus.
Naruto plus Uchiha Sasuke was already incredibly difficult to deal with. Yet, adding the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi – these three who could jointly resist the other Kages – Konoha's combat power was simply overwhelmingly excessive.
If the other villages didn't unite, they wouldn't even have the right to look Konoha in the eye. One could imagine just how powerful Konoha was at present.
Furthermore, over so many years, Konoha had developed extrely rapidly. Not only was Konoha's economy unparalleled in the entire ninja world, but even its peaceti ninja numbers had exceeded one hundred thousand.
In warti, according to Konoha's current scale, economy, population, and various other aspects, it could readily muster an army of over a million shinobi.
Under such circumstances, the four great ninja villages, even if they pooled all their resources, could barely assemble a shinobi force of six hundred thousand. Compared to Konoha, it was like a small sorcerer eting a great one – simply incomparable.
Even united, they might not necessarily win.
For the four great ninja villages, contacting and cooperating with Kara and Akatsuki, despite the suspicion of letting a wolf into the house, was acceptable if it ant killing the tiger. Two more wolves wouldn't matter. There was no need to worry. After all, they were just wolves; no matter how terrifying, they could never be more terrifying than a tiger.
Jigen was currently watching a busy Amado. With Orochimaru's help, Amado's research on Scientific Ninja Tools was advancing by leaps and bounds. If one were to speak of scientists, Jigen once believed Amado to be the most outstanding. However, after Orochimaru's arrival, Jigen truly understood what a genius was.
Orochimaru was a ninja born entirely for science; a genius as a ninja, and a genius as a scientist. And when the two combined, Scientific Ninja Tools previously thought impossible by Amado were actually being developed one after another. Successfully produced finished products, and Akatsuki mbers' Scientific Ninja Tool modifications had also entered their third version.
At this mont, the four great ninja villages were engaged in an arms race with Konoha. This stage would last at least a few more months, and these few months were enough for them to advance Akatsuki's modifications to the sixth iteration. After six thorough-going modifications, the strength of the Akatsuki mbers would definitely surpass their current levels, possibly by several tis.
Simultaneously, Scientific Ninja Tools supplied to the four great nations were being mass-produced. Although they couldn't be called exceptionally powerful, they were all carefully selected, most practical, and best suited for the four great nations. With the help of these Scientific Ninja Tools, their combat power could surpass Konoha's million-strong ninja army.
However, they were lacking in high-end combat power.
"I never thought technology could one day beco so powerful!"
As Jigen pondered these issues, Madara was marveling at the power of Scientific Ninja Tools. However, to beco perfect, Madara was unwilling to undergo modifications bit by bit, upgrading increntally like the Akatsuki mbers. He was waiting for the final stage, to directly implant the most perfect Scientific Ninja Tools.
On the other side, Indra was in the sa situation. He also didn't want to be slowly modified like a guinea pig; he disliked such a process.
"I hope the power of science doesn't disappoint us!" Indra said, his expression still appearing calm and undisturbed, as if nothing could affect his emotions.
And at this mont, Konoha was also mobilizing for war.
Having reached this point, Naruto felt it was unacceptable, even appearing sowhat dejected.
"Why?"
"I've clearly tried my best to let everyone achieve what they want to do!"
"And yet, I created peace, but they don't seem to like it very much!"
"They insist on choosing war!"
Naruto was currently complaining to Sasuke on the Hokage Rock.
Sasuke looked at this Naruto and actually found it sowhat amusing. If Hinata hadn't co to find him and ask him to check on Naruto at the Hokage Rock, Sasuke wouldn't have expected Naruto to have such monts of sorrow. The usual Naruto was always full of fighting spirit and brimming with confidence, yet the current Naruto revealed a fragile side.
"Naruto!"
"I think you've misunderstood sothing!"
Misunderstood what? Naruto looked up at Sasuke, very puzzled.
"It's not that everyone doesn't want to see peace, but that human desires cannot be satisfied!"
"They are very happy with peace, but... peace has lasted too long, and everyone is anticipating sothing else!"
"Unification!"
"How many years has it been since the ninja world was divided?" Sasuke looked at the sky.
"Let give you a saying! What is long united must divide, and what is long divided must unite!"
Hearing this, Naruto suddenly felt a jolt. Why? Was unification really that important? Isn't peace good enough? Besides, unification, why would it turn the ninja world into this?
"Just watch, Naruto! After the ninja world achieves unification this ti!"
"From then on, people will not only long for peace; even with peace, they will hope for the ninja world to be unified!"
