"Naruto! This is bad!"
Shisui burst into the room, expression tense.
"Information about the Umbrella Organization is spreading everywhere. They're calling us ambitious schemers trying to seize control of the world!"
He continued anxiously:
"The daimyō of the Five Great Nations can't sit still anymore. They've issued public statements ordering us to stop our so-called evil actions and disband the Umbrella Organization…"
Naruto listened quietly, hands folded, his expression calm but his blue eyes sharp with contemplation.
According to Shisui, the Umbrella Organization had been openly recruiting citizens from every country — spreading scientific advancement and equality. What was once suppressed ideology now spread like wildfire, unstoppable.
For such information to circulate so rapidly throughout the entire shinobi world… only Black Zetsu, that ancient schemer, could be responsible.
He must finally be feeling threatened by Umbrella's rise.
Was this his attempt to accelerate the Eye of the Moon Plan?
The more Naruto considered it, the clearer the picture became.
Yes — this was a calculated move.
Expose Umbrella. Draw attention. Force the world to focus on them.
A strategic diversion.
"Hmph." Naruto's lips curved into a confident smirk.
"Fine. If he wants to play… we'll play."
He stood up sharply, his eyes blazing with determination.
"Shisui — convene the Round Table Conference. The Dawn Plan begins now."
Shisui froze for just a moment — then excitement surged through him.
"Yes!"
The Dawn Plan — the operation Naruto, Shisui, and the others designed to reshape the shinobi world. A signal that the darkness would soon end… and true dawn would arrive.
Shisui left immediately.
The entire Umbrella Organization activated like a well-oiled war machine.
Not long after, every top-ranking member summoned by the highest-priority order gathered in the Land of Snow.
Even Jiraiya, who had been traveling, returned at once — a testament to the importance of this assembly.
They had been warned:
War is imminent.
Inside the conference hall, Naruto sat at the head. Shisui and Sasuke stood beside him.
Orochimaru sat near them — fully committed to Umbrella now.
Unlimited research resources… a massive population to experiment on…
The appeal was undeniable.
Umbrella's power now surpassed any single village — and rivaled the entire shinobi world.
Tsunade, Zabuza, Yu, and Izumi took their seats.
Shikamaru stood close by, observing — gaining experience as Umbrella's apprentice strategist.
Naruto raised a hand.
"Let's begin. What obstacles is our organization facing?"
Tsunade spoke first, her expression grave:
"The Daimyō of the Land of Fire has begun pressuring me directly — demanding we destroy the Umbrella Organization. The Five Great Nations have formed an alliance. We're likely facing a united assault."
Zabuza followed up:
"The Land of Water has issued an official decree. Our industries there have been sealed off — and Kirigakure has fully withdrawn from cooperation."
Yu added with a sigh:
"Kumogakure has issued a declaration: they are preparing to attack us."
Izumi continued, voice steady and clear:
"Iwagakure as well. And several smaller nations have expressed intentions to support the Great Nations."
Shisui nodded, summarizing with calm precision:
"In short — the entire shinobi world is turning against us."
Naruto waved a hand dismissively.
"Of course they are. The nobility is terrified we'll take away their power. Their wealth. Their privilege."
His eyes sharpened.
"The Five Great Nations are a single ruling class — bloodlines intertwined. When a common enemy appears, they unite without hesitation."
Then he smiled — dangerous and confident.
"But it's not Five Great Nations anymore. It's Four."
He tapped a finger against the table.
"In the Land of Wind… Gaara's influence has already overshadowed the Daimyō's. The people support us there. And we have a major air base established on their soil."
The room began to buzz — tension brewing, but excitement too.
Umbrella was ready.
And the world was about to change.
"The Land of Wind can now be considered part of our camp," Naruto declared. "Since the enemy has already drawn their swords—"
A sharp, commanding light flashed in his eyes.
"—then we will officially incorporate the Land of Wind into our territory!"
A powerful aura burst forth from him like a roaring wave.
"Good!!!"
Zabuza couldn't contain himself — ambition burning fiercely in his chest.
Naruto stood, gaze sweeping across the room.
"Now, I will announce the battle plan."
The conference hall immediately grew silent.
"Tsunade — your task is to win over more shinobi from Konoha. Aim for at least half of the village's active force. Bring those who still have a conscience."
"Zabuza — take charge of operations in the Land of Water."
"Yu — you will lead the Martial Arts Legion and oversee movements near Kumogakure."
"Izumi — command our covert shinobi squads and execute targeted assassinations."
He turned to Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru — you are responsible for the aerial battlefield. I grant you full authority to mobilize all aerial units."
Next, his gaze shifted to the younger members.
"Sasuke, Neji — each of you will lead a tactical team."
Naruto paused briefly, his tone dropping lower — heavier.
"And always keep a close watch on the Akatsuki Organization. This leak of information… likely came from them. They will definitely make major moves soon."
"When they do — we will expose every action they take."
He pointed firmly to the map spread out before them.
"For the Five Great Nations — deploy part of our trained reserves to seize control of the daimyō residences. All firearms are to be distributed immediately."
Naruto was striking at both the shinobi system and the ruling class at the same time.
Chakra-resistant firearms alone could suppress the daimyō's private armies.
Even trained civilians — martial artists forged under Umbrella for just a year — could become formidable soldiers when armed.
Every person in the room felt their throats tighten.
Umbrella now wielded:
Chakra firearms
• Chakra Armor
• Aerial combat forces
• Martial Arts Legions
• Elite shinobi units capable of combined jutsu
How many in the entire ninja world could take to the skies?
Umbrella was about to show them a frightening answer.
"This battle—" Naruto clenched his fist, voice ringing:
"We will surely win!!!"
"We will surely win!!"
"We will surely win!!!"
Their united shouts boomed through the chamber like thunder.
With the meeting concluded, every member rushed out — preparations accelerating like a rising storm.
Orochimaru lingered in the doorway, golden eyes glinting with fascination.
"A new era… it truly may be arriving," he murmured.
"Is the age of shinobi coming to an end?"
He remembered Naruto's words:
"The ninja world is not the end. When we rule this world, the sea of stars will become our next path."
Star travel.
Interstellar expansion.
A future beyond the limits of chakra.
The Stars Plan.
It was that dream — of breaking the boundaries of the world itself — that made Orochimaru abandon hesitation and fully devote himself to Umbrella.
Because changing the Shinobi World… was only the beginning.
