In early May, Year 48 of Konoha, Year 20 of the Red Era.
A piece of news that shocked the entire ninja world came from an unknown place...
The Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools, a peak powerhouse of the ninja world...
Uzumaki Jun has disappeared!!
After hearing this news, the entire ninja world was in an uproar. After all, although the Land of Whirlpools had not issued any official statement, everyone knew...
The Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools, once the youngest Kage, the great man who created Redism, had long reached the peak of the ninja world. This was known from the time he fought three alone and instantly killed the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure.
Especially the Third Tsuchikage who escaped, who to this day remains unwilling to recall the scene at that time...
It showed just how powerful the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools was!
So...
Why would such a powerful ninja disappear?
Did a ninja stronger than him in the ninja world kill him, or...
Is this a conspiracy!
Just as everyone was speculating about the disappearance of the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools...
Another shocking piece of news spread...
War...
Has begun!!!
On the same day...
The Five Great Shinobi Villages Alliance once again declared war on the Land of Whirlpools, demanding that the Land of Whirlpools return the money obtained from auctioning the legendary ninja swords in the Land of Iron, and also return the ninjas from the various major villages captured by the Land of Whirlpools, compensate each village 50 billion, and demanded that the Land of Whirlpools dissolve the Red Alliance, the Ninja World Trade, and other organizations that did not conform to ninja world norms, withdraw its troops stationed in the Land of Hot Water, and simultaneously open up Land of Whirlpools technology to the entire ninja world, including scientific ninja tools, communication technology, chakra cannons, etc...
Anyway...
In one sentence, whatever we want, you must give it!!
Hearing this, the Finance Minister of the Land of Whirlpools angrily threw his cup, even drew out the ninja sword he had and planned to use to scam... sell, and shouted loudly, "We have no money, if you want our lives, come and get them yourselves!"
And the official statement from the Land of Whirlpools was only one word, which was...
"Get lost!!"
"Have we found out how the news of Jun's disappearance got out?" The Clan Leader frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Has Fugaku sent back any news?"
You must know that the news of Jun's disappearance was only known to the Land of Whirlpools and that pile of black. So...
If it wasn't leaked from the Land of Whirlpools side, then it must be that pile of black.
But...
What grudge does he have against the Land of Whirlpools?
Why does he want to destroy the Land of Whirlpools so badly?
"Last night I received a message from Clan Leader Fugaku." Obito nodded and said with a serious expression, "According to the Clan Leader's investigation, it was indeed that Black Zetsu who spread it, and what he seems to want to destroy is not just the Land of Whirlpools, but also..."
"The entire ninja world!!!"
"??"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone who heard Obito's words was instantly stunned...
"Why?"
Especially Muroto Jōmon, who understood even less, what confidence does that pile of black have to destroy the entire ninja world?
He said in a disdainful tone, "His nerve is quite big, but how does he plan to destroy it?"
By relying on his black and white pair?
"Still unknown." Obito shook his head and said, "It seems Lord Jun and Director Madara know something."
"..."
But those two are not in this world!!
Everyone looked at Obito speechlessly. Wasn't this just having no useful information at all?
No one noticed that nearby, Hiruko and Chiro glanced at each other and nodded slightly, as if they had made some decision...
"Perhaps he wants to bring peace to the ninja world?" Suddenly, the branch family leader of the Ōtsutsuki clan, Ōtsutsuki Chengyou, who had been silent, spoke up and said lightly, "He plans to destroy the ninja world and rebuild order?"
"??"
Everyone looked at Ōtsutsuki Chengyou in confusion. Is there really such a way to bring peace to the ninja world?
"Heh." Ōtsutsuki Hoshin, hearing Ōtsutsuki Chengyou's words, laughed awkwardly and said, "Well, yes, our Ōtsutsuki clan had a little accident back then, so... ahem, this idea is also possible."
"..."
Hearing the Ōtsutsuki Clan Leader's explanation, everyone nodded in understanding. No wonder when Lord Jun brought them back to the country, he had to place seals on them. So...
The Ōtsutsuki clan had once gone to extremes, wanting to destroy the ninja world to maintain peace!
Thinking of this, everyone shivered. This clan is really too dangerous...
"Has Fugaku found any news about Jun?" Uzumaki Riki thought for a moment and quickly changed the subject, saying, "As long as we find Jun, then everything can be solved."
"No." Obito spread his hands helplessly and said, "That Black Zetsu doesn't seem to trust Clan Leader Fugaku much either."
Apart from giving missions, he rarely appeared before the Clan Leader.
"Sigh!" The Clan Leader sighed and said, "Let's put these matters aside for now."
There was simply no useful information. As for that pile of black destroying the ninja world...
Probably even if they told the Five Great Shinobi Villages, they wouldn't believe it.
After all, Redism is now the main threat to the shinobi villages...
"In the Land of Rain, Yahiko has completely taken control." Nagato thought for a moment and said, "Although the number of usable ninjas now is not large..."
"We can still send a small number of troops to support the Land of Whirlpools."
He sighed. This was all the Land of Rain could do now...
"As for the Land of Hot Water..."
The troops there are from the Land of Whirlpools, so...
The help is not great, and we even need to station troops to protect the people of the Land of Hot Water.
He spread his hands helplessly and said, "So, now only the Land of Rain can possibly provide troop support."
"Is that so?" The Clan Leader fell silent, sighed, and said, "It seems the Land of Whirlpools is in some trouble this time."
After all, this time it's not just the Five Great Shinobi Villages!
There are other small shinobi villages following behind...
Everyone wants to get a share of the spoils following the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
So, this war...
Will sweep across the entire ninja world!!
"What about the Red Alliance nations?" Uzumaki Riki thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "Can't they send support?"
"If the Land of Whirlpools is really destroyed, they will definitely suffer too."
Once you join the Red Alliance, it's not that simple to withdraw.
"We haven't received any news from other alliance nations yet." The Clan Leader shook his head and said helplessly, "I guess these small countries are still waiting. If the Land of Whirlpools can survive this crisis, then they will truly become solid Red Alliance nations."
If not...
The shinobi village system will be restored!!
"From now on, cut off all aid to the alliance nations."
After thinking about it, the Land of Whirlpools controls their economy and, to a certain extent, their politics. If the Land of Whirlpools really goes to war, their countries will also inevitably fall into chaos...
"And recall all Land of Whirlpools ninjas who are abroad."
Right now...
The Land of Whirlpools must consolidate all its strength!
"From this moment on, completely seal off the Land of Whirlpools. No unrelated persons are allowed to enter or leave."
"As for the citizens of the Land of Whirlpools..."
The Clan Leader sighed and said, "Have the relevant personnel reassure the domestic population. We absolutely cannot allow any chaos to appear now!"
"Understood!" Muroto Jōmon nodded and said, "We will strengthen domestic patrols, maintain domestic social order, and not give anyone any opportunity!"
"At the same time, the Muroto clan will from now on fully obey the arrangements of the Land of Whirlpools!!"
"My Kamizuru clan as well."
"The Uchiha clan too!"
"We, the Ōtsutsuki clan..."
"..."
All the clan leaders said with serious expressions.
...
May 5th, Year 48 of Konoha, Year 20 of the Red Era...
The Five Great Shinobi Villages, with all shinobi village countries, began to mobilize their armies and march towards the Land of Whirlpools...
From this day on, the atmosphere in the entire ninja world became tense!!
