"The four traitors are dead! Order has been restored!"
"Long live Lord Yuzuru! Long live Konoha!"
"Long live the Uchiha Clan!"
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Koharu Utatane all beheaded, everyone present cheered instantly.
The Ninjas of Konoha were especially enthusiastic.
After all, during the rule of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, they had suffered greatly.
Now that these four were dead and the Uchiha Clan had returned, their good days were finally coming!
Listening to the cheers, Uchiha Yuzuru was in a great mood.
"Expose the bodies of these four at the village entrance for three days; the rest shall rest in place!"
Without him needing to say more, Dodai, Mabui, and others began to make arrangements spontaneously.
The Hidden Cloud Village Ninjas set up camp in Konoha Village in an orderly fashion, while the Konoha Village Ninjas were tacitly surrounded in the center.
Seeing everyone busy, Uchiha Yuzuru walked up to Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.
Seeing his smug look, Senju Tobirama felt inexplicably annoyed and said coldly, "Now that your goal is achieved, you can release the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, right?"
Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head. "No, now is exactly when the First Hokage's power is needed."
Hearing this, both Senju Tobirama and Senju Hashirama were stunned.
Then, Senju Tobirama snorted. "As expected of an ambitious man, you want to use Big Brother to conquer other hidden villages, don't you!"
He had already felt it; these Edo Tensei bodies could exert 70% of their living power, enough to stir up a storm in the Ninja World.
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled. "Don't use your filthy heart to measure my capacity."
With a thought, Senju Hashirama's body moved involuntarily.
Clap!
Senju Hashirama's hands clapped together, and a massive wooden building rose from the ground.
"Let's go."
Uchiha Yuzuru led the way, with the Third Raikage and others following close behind.
Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama were both stunned at the same time.
Uchiha Yuzuru summoned them... surely not just to build a house?
Entering the room, Uchiha Yuzuru slowly sat on the wooden chair in the center.
"Fugaku!"
"Here."
Uchiha Yuzuru said deeply, "Take men and gather all members of the Sarutobi, Utatane, Mitokado, and Shimura Clans. Find out their population, assets, land, and Ninjutsu resources..."
Uchiha Fugaku immediately said, "I understand."
After Uchiha Fugaku left, Uchiha Yuzuru looked at the Third Raikage. "Sandaime, take men to watch the surrendered Konoha Ninjas. Kill anyone who makes a suspicious move without mercy."
The Third Raikage nodded and also left to carry out the order.
"Sakumo, go gather the Konoha villagers."
"Kakashi, Obito, Shisui... take men and continue the southern expedition. Strive to firmly control the Land of Fire as quickly as possible."
"Nagato, you're in charge of leading people to clear the debris and clean up the land of Konoha as soon as possible."
"..."
Orders were given one by one, and soon only Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama remained in the room.
Senju Hashirama's face was as calm as water as he looked at Uchiha Yuzuru and asked, "Now that Konoha is in your hands, what do you plan to do?"
Uchiha Yuzuru tapped his fingers on the table and said indifferently, "There's nothing much I want to do, it's just post-war reconstruction."
"The current Land of Fire is riddled with holes; it can't handle any more turmoil."
Senju Hashirama nodded. "If there's anywhere I can be of use, just say the word."
Senju Tobirama said coldly, "What about the Land of Lightning?"
"You used the Land of Lightning's power to defeat Monkey and the others. They probably won't be willing to just leave like this, will they?"
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled and said softly, "Why leave? Right now, less than one-tenth of the Land of Fire's population remains. It's exactly the time to replenish the population."
"Anyone from the Land of Lightning who is willing to settle in the Land of Fire can relocate here."
According to his plan, he originally intended to expel all the people of Konoha and the Land of Fire to bitter cold lands to make room for the people of the Land of Lightning.
But Uchiha Yuzuru didn't expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and the others would cause such a mess.
In just a few years since overthrowing the Daimyo, they had turned the Land of Fire into a nearly uninhabited wasteland.
One can only say that the 'worth' of these four guys keeps on rising.
After hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, Senju Tobirama spoke again: "You said you wanted to end the system Big Brother created. How do you plan to do it?"
At these words, Senju Hashirama also cast a curious gaze. "Yuzuru, what exactly is wrong with my system?"
"What's wrong with it?"
Uchiha Yuzuru snorted. "The system you created is like children playing house; many measures are far too naive."
"At that time, with your and Uchiha Madara's power, you clearly could have unified the Ninja World. Instead, you were short-sighted and only occupied the most fertile Land of Fire, causing people in other hidden villages to feel resentful and sowing the seeds for the subsequent Ninja World Wars."
Senju Hashirama sighed. "This wasn't something just Madara and I could decide."
"The Land of Water is isolated overseas, the Land of Wind is full of deserts, and the Lands of Lightning and Earth are very barren... The various Ninja Clan following me weren't willing to let their clansmen fight for such places."
Back then, Uchiha Madara had suggested to him whether they should just unify the entire Ninja World, but it was opposed by most people, and in the end, it was dropped.
Uchiha Yuzuru glanced at Senju Hashirama and said softly, "That's why I say you're too naive. You clearly had absolute power, yet you willingly let yourself be held back by others."
"If it were up to me, those who don't listen should just be killed."
Hearing this, Senju Hashirama couldn't help but retort, "That would be contrary to what I wanted to achieve."
"If we use force to coerce other Ninja Clan, then everyone won't be united or trust each other. The Alliance we worked so hard to build might fall apart in an instant."
Uchiha Yuzuru snorted and said indifferently, "I've killed so many people from the Konoha Ninja Clan, yet I don't see them daring to fall apart from me?"
Seeing Senju Hashirama's silence, Uchiha Yuzuru continued, "And occupying the most fertile land was one thing, but then you went and distributed the Tailed Beasts, thinking to balance the power of various nations—that was the height of stupidity."
"If every nation has similar strength, then on what basis can your Land of Fire occupy the most fertile land in the Ninja World?"
Hearing this, even Senju Tobirama couldn't help but agree. "Indeed, not long after you died, Big Brother, an unprecedented war broke out in the Ninja World."
