With the word of Hokage Uchiha Jin, all of Konoha began to operate rapidly, like a machine that had just been wound up.
The entire Village was filled with joy.
After all, this was the Hokage's wedding, which naturally counted as a major event for the entire Village.
Even many shops took the opportunity to offer discounts, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Village was immersed in an ocean of joy, truly giving off the vibe of a prosperous era arriving.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Just as Konoha was immersed in joy, the situation in other parts of the Ninja World was vastly different.
Quite the opposite.
With the Akatsuki Organization going all out, the entire Ninja World had once again fallen into chaos.
There was no helping it!
They did not have as many powerhouses as Konoha, and now, facing the full force of the Akatsuki Organization, they simply lacked the strength to resist.
Although the Akatsuki Organization had few members, they were almost all Kage-level combatants, and they could easily choose to fight or retreat, making it difficult even for the major Ninja Villages to contain them.
For a time.
The fires of war were everywhere in the Ninja World, and the peace that had just been restored instantly collapsed.
Looking at the major Ninja Villages in the Ninja World today, only the Land of Fire was able to maintain peace. After all, Konoha had enough powerhouses, and in particular, the Flying Thunder God Technique of Senju Tobirama and Minato Namikaze allowed them to gather strong fighters and extinguish the flames of conflict in the shortest possible time, no matter where the enemy appeared.
It was precisely because of this.
After seeing this, the people of other countries naturally began to abandon their land and belongings, migrating toward the Land of Fire at all costs.
In response to this.
The Land of Fire turned no one away; upon arrival, they were allocated land and work!
Even though Uchiha Jin had no interest in pursuing industrialization or modern commercial industries for the time being, and even though the Land of Fire was still in a small-scale peasant economy, the fact was that the wealth of the Land of Fire far exceeded the imagination of other countries.
The climate was stable, and the four seasons were distinct.
They rarely encountered any natural disasters, every piece of land could be considered fertile, and there was no shortage of various mineral resources.
This was also the reason why Konoha was targeted by Other Ninja Villages during several Ninja World Wars.
And precisely because the Land of Fire was such a blessed land, even without Uchiha Jin developing various industries, he dared to accept these waves of people from other countries.
However, at the same time.
With the arrival of countless people from other countries came the inevitable issue of a mixed bag of quality.
However.
Uchiha Jin had clearly anticipated this. Following the formation of the Five Great Military Districts and the integration of Officials, samurai, and Rōnin across the Land of Fire, even if there were some rotten individuals among the crowd, no one dared to defy Konoha's orders openly or secretly, given the absolute power led by Konoha and supported by the Five Great Military Districts.
After all...
The Ninja World was not an ordinary historical plane, but a high-martial arts plane possessing Ninjutsu.
Anyone who did not obey, kill!
Therefore, even if sporadic chaos erupted in various places, it would still be snuffed out by the Five Great Military Districts in the shortest possible time.
One month later.
The entire Land of Fire had completely returned to stability!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
One month ago.
Land of Grass, Grass Kage's office.
With a distortion in the void, Nagato, sitting in a wheelchair, and Obito appeared.
The two looked extremely disheveled at this moment. They exchanged a glance, neither speaking, and the atmosphere instantly turned icy.
Not long after.
Black Zetsu emerged from the ground like a puddle of mud, glanced at the two indifferently, and then spoke slowly.
"Our Akatsuki Organization's plan has arguably been barely half completed."
"Progress in the Other Ninja Villages is going very smoothly. Although the Four Great Shinobi Villages have some powerhouses, their number of strong fighters is still too small."
"Our Akatsuki Organization members didn't fight them head-on, but chose to specifically ambush their weak defensive areas. Therefore, although we haven't killed many of the true powerhouses of those Villages, we have wiped out more than half of the elite and mid-level forces of the major Ninja Villages."
"The Ninja World has now become completely chaotic, and it will be very difficult for them to organize an Allied Shinobi Forces."
"Our initial goal is barely half completed."
"The other half is the Land of Fire!"
"Needless to say, regarding Konoha, even you, Nagato, are no match for them; it is very difficult for us to go there and cause destruction."
"The other regions of the Land of Fire are also very difficult, after all, Konoha has the Five Great Military Districts there, especially Senju Tobirama and Minato Namikaze, whose Flying Thunder God coordinates are branded all over the Land of Fire..."
"No matter where our Akatsuki Organization appears, the enemy can arrive in the shortest possible time."
"Unless we kill the few powerhouses leading them, it will be very hard for us to touch the Land of Fire."
"Whether or not to Edo Tensei Madara, Nagato and Obito, you two decide."
Black Zetsu was sinister, his heart filled with displeasure.
There was no other way!
Originally, his plan had been flawless, but who could have expected that an Uchiha Jin would appear?
Thinking of this, he hated the Old Konoha High Command to death!
Knowing full well that the more the Uchiha were pushed to the brink, the easier it was for some crazy lunatics to appear, yet they still recklessly insisted on exterminating the Uchiha clan?
What were they thinking?
Was there something wrong with their brains?
You have to know that even though he, Black Zetsu, was wary of the Uchiha, he only thought about stretching out the timeline as much as possible and then finding ways to weaken the Uchiha.
The Old Konoha High Command, they were truly something else.
Things that he, Black Zetsu, dared not do, this bunch of trash actually dared to do!
Now, are you happy?
They forcefully forced out an Uchiha Jin, who directly overturned the Old Konoha High Command.
Of course.
He didn't care whether the Old Konoha High Command lived or died, the key was that it had affected his own plans!
Facing the Uchiha who had now completely risen, even Black Zetsu, for a moment, didn't know what to do.
Should he Edo Tensei Madara?
At this moment, Black Zetsu was truly conflicted.
If he chose to Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara, he believed that with Uchiha Madara's powerful strength, combined with the Rinnegan that Nagato currently possessed, they would absolutely be able to completely suppress Konoha, led by Uchiha Jin.
Even if Senju Hashirama were there, it wouldn't matter!
As for Uchiha Jin?
Although his strength indeed seemed terrifying, it was merely an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan after all, and compared to the power of the Rinnegan, it was still far too inferior.
But, damn it.
The nine Tailed Beasts had not yet been fully captured. If he were to Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara now, then facing such a long waiting period, who knew if Uchiha Madara would discover the problem with the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'.
There was no helping it!
Although he, Black Zetsu, was a thousand-year-old schemer, the problem was that his'storytelling' ability was really not good. If one were to calm down and think slowly about this 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' thing, one would definitely be able to detect many things that didn't add up...
In the past, he was able to fool Uchiha Madara, which was due to various factors.
First.
At the very beginning, he modified the Uchiha stone tablet, planting a seed in Uchiha Madara.
Then, step by step, he guided Uchiha Madara to obtain Hashirama cells. At that time, most of Uchiha Madara's experience was naturally focused on awakening the Rinnegan, so naturally, he had no mind to think about the problem of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Later...
By the time Uchiha Madara gathered the Rinnegan, he was already old and frail. Only then did Black Zetsu finally appear as Madara's shadow, thereby truly beginning to stand by his side and guide him.
