---------------------

The joint announcement issued by the Five Great Nations instantly shocked the entire Ninja World.

Of course, more people were simply bewildered and helpless!

Because everyone had absolutely no concept of the so-called Akatsuki Organization.

"Akatsuki Organization? What is that?"

"But to be able to simultaneously declare war on several Ninja Villages, and even steal four Tailed Beasts at the same time, this capability is truly terrifying!"

"Why are they killing the Daimyo and the Nobles?"

"You're so stupid, didn't they say?"

"That Akatsuki Organization wants to gather all nine Tailed Beasts in the Ninja World to intimidate the Five Great Nations and then rule the entire Ninja World. Of course, the Daimyo and Nobles must be eliminated, otherwise how would the Akatsuki Organization rule the entire Ninja World?"

"In that case, is this a good thing?"

"Good thing my ass! Didn't you hear the announcement from the Five Great Ninja Villages? The Akatsuki Organization is entirely composed of Rogue Ninja from various villages!"

"Anyway, no matter what, it's better than the chaos we have now!"

"You're right. I'm completely fed up with life these days!"

"No matter who rules the world, as long as order can be restored."

"Our village was originally a Noble's territory. After the Noble died, the local Official declared himself the new lord. Two days later, Bandits killed the Official, and our village became Bandit territory. A few days after that, another group of Samurai came and killed them!"

"What's that? Our village has changed lords seven times during this period."

"Chaos, too much chaos!"

"Even a bad order is better than no order. I'm preparing to move my entire family to join Konoha."

"It seems that in the entire Ninja World now, only the interiors of the Five Great Ninja Villages can still maintain order and law."

"Let's go together, let's go together!"

"Compared to the Akatsuki Organization composed of Rogue Ninja, I still prefer to be led by the Five Great Ninja Villages."

...

Voices were complex and numerous across the Ninja World.

However, the thoughts of most people aligned with Uchiha Jin's plan. Following this period of chaos, people's awe and reverence for the Daimyo and Nobles began to fade, or even disappear entirely.

On the contrary!

People were more inclined to accept the leadership of the Five Great Ninja Villages. After all, the Five Great Ninja Villages have existed for a long time and have always been on the side of justice. Thus, facing this endless chaos, people naturally began to accept the Five Great Ninja Villages in their hearts.

Based on this point, the Five Great Ninja Villages all began to make their moves.

Especially—Konoha!

Because this matter was originally Uchiha Jin's scheme, Konoha had naturally prepared itself mentally long ago.

For a time.

The entirety of Konoha began to act!

First, the Mission Hall was completely abolished starting today. From today onward, Konoha would no longer accept missions. All Ninja were reorganized into professional soldiers. They would receive fixed monthly salaries and benefits, and combat would be rewarded with bounty and honor.

And the corresponding—Internal Promotion Regulations—were issued!

Next, five major war zones were established, specifically the four war zones of East, South, West, and North. After much internal deliberation, four leaders were directly nominated.

The East!

Kakashi led Nara Shikaku, three Anbu squads, two regular Jonin squads, and ten regular elite squads, heading directly to the border of the Land of Waves in the east.

They needed to establish a permanent war zone in the Land of Waves, command Konoha's border forces in that direction, and even recruit and integrate a large number of Samurai groups along the way, which would be used to govern the twenty-three cities of the Land of Fire in that region, as well as the seventeen cities throughout the Land of Waves.

Key defense point: Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water!

The South.

Orochimaru, accompanied by Yakushi Kabuto and a military configuration identical to Kakashi's, headed directly to the Land of Rice Paddies.

Compared to Kakashi, who was starting from scratch, the Land of Rice Paddies was previously Orochimaru's territory. He naturally quickly established a base here and opened the Southern War Zone, incidentally recruiting a large number of Samurai, Rōnin, and similar individuals along the way, to govern the fifteen cities in this area, along with a total of twenty-nine cities in smaller nations like the Land of Rice Paddies and the Land of Rivers.

Key defense point: Hidden Sand Village of the Land of Wind!

The West.

Shisui, bringing Itachi, Nara Shiosui, and the same configuration of troops as Kakashi, headed directly to the Land of Rain.

Because the Akatsuki Organization had already withdrawn from the Land of Rain, Shisui immediately occupied the Akatsuki Organization's tower, using it as the center to establish the Western War Zone. Following this, he took over the major cities of the Land of Fire and the surrounding smaller nations in the area.

Key defense points: Iwagakure and Hidden Sand Village!

The North.

Tsunade, bringing Shizune and the same configuration of troops as Kakashi, arrived directly at Hidden Grass Village.

Following Uchiha Jin's arrangements, she forcibly seized control of and disbanded Hidden Grass Village. Combining this with the Samurai she gathered along the way, she established the Northern Grand Camp here, simultaneously taking over all the cities of the Land of Fire in this direction, as well as the city clusters of several smaller nations.

Key defense point: Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning!

As for—the Central War Zone?

That is the Daimyo's Mansion!

There, Fugaku led the elites of the major Ninja Clans to directly occupy the former Daimyo's Mansion and command the surrounding dozen cities.

The reasoning behind this arrangement is very simple!

Unlike the other four war zones, the four major war zones all have Konoha border troops nearby. Although the number of people they brought is small, their strength combined with the border troops is sufficient to guard against Other Ninja Villages.

As for internal management, it was basically handed over to the Samurai!

It's just that the leaders at all levels of these Samurai groups are Ninja from Konoha.

There was no other way!

To rule such a vast territory all at once, Konoha's Ninja alone were simply not enough, so they temporarily had to rely on these Samurai to fill the numbers.

In the future, as time passes and the Ninja trained by Konoha graduate, they will naturally replace these Samurai gradually.

The Central War Zone is completely different.

It needs to be able to support the other four war zones at any critical moment, so its forces are the strongest.

Taking a loss? No way!

Although the Central War Zone commands fewer cities, almost all of the surrounding cities are major cities in the Land of Fire.

As for taxation, Uchiha Jin designated a Two-Tax System.

National Tax, and Local Tax!

The temporary collection ratio refers to the former Daimyo's Mansion, but the five major war zones can retain thirty percent (three layers). This retained portion is for the internal management of the four war zones, covering everything from the distribution of salaries and benefits to personnel, urban infrastructure, and general administration, all funded by the tax revenue intercepted by the major war zones.

The remaining seventy percent (seven layers) is the National Tax, which is naturally all handed over to Konoha.

Konoha's future designation is literally the capital!

Uchiha Jin and the elites of the major Ninja Clans will henceforth be stationed in Konoha, commanding the five major war zones.
