Over the past years, the intensity of conflicts throughout the world had risen to an unprecedented level, as regions that had once lived in relative peace were transformed into open battlefields, especially after the emergence of numerous different clans possessing different Kekkei Genkai.
Each clan saw itself as having the right to expand and seize control, causing these conflicts to erupt on a massive scale everywhere, spreading like wildfire. Blood flowed through valleys and plains, villages burned, cities were reduced to ruins, and people lived in constant fear that they would be the next victims of this overwhelming chaos.
What made matters even more difficult and extreme was that many of these clans were no longer satisfied with fighting merely to protect their territories or expand their influence. They began accepting requests from various competing powers to carry out special missions, such as secret assassinations targeting leaders and chiefs, spying on enemies, gathering sensitive information, sowing discord among their opponents, and even sabotaging supply lines.
All of these missions brought enormous amounts of money to those clans, causing them to specialize in this type of work and become highly proficient at it, while competition between them for contracts became as fierce as the competition for land and resources.
Before long, this system became the dominant system in the world. Reliance was no longer placed solely on organized armies or traditional political alliances. Instead, the greatest reliance was placed on these warrior clans, which could accomplish things armies could not, from rapid and precise strikes to covert missions that could not be traced, and assassinations capable of changing the balance of power overnight.
In this way, the system spread like an infection across every corner of the world, from the smallest villages to the largest cities, and from the weakest states to the most powerful kingdoms.
And because it had become far easier for warlords and local lords to hire powerful fighters from these clans to eliminate their enemies rather than wage long and costly wars that could drain their resources for years, this system spread even faster.
Anyone with money could hire the strongest fighters, and anyone with influence could hire the most skilled ones. In return, these warrior clans became stronger and wealthier because they charged enormous fees for their services, increasing their influence at the expense of the weaker nations and kingdoms that had begun relying on them completely for protection against their enemies.
Even the powerful warrior clans found in this system an easy way to make money, and they began sending small units of their elite fighters to carry out specific missions, easily compensating for any losses with the money they earned, especially the powerful clans of the world such as the Uchiha and the Senju.
Both of these great clans saw in the new system a golden opportunity to make money, and they began competing for the highest-paying and most valuable contracts. Each side sent its best fighters to complete missions that would guarantee its superiority over the other, not only on the battlefield, but also in the markets of wealth and influence.
Thus, the intensity of wars and conflicts throughout the world increased dramatically, not only in number, but also in brutality and variety. At the same time, combat methods developed considerably, as the clans competed to create new techniques that were more lethal and consumed less energy. Various techniques appeared, with each clan specializing according to the nature of its bloodline and inherited abilities.
Even new clans emerged, specializing in their own unique combat techniques. Some relied on incredible speed, some on destructive power, some on deception and misdirection, and others on poisons. Every clan sought to develop something that would give it an advantage over the others, resulting in greater diversity and turning the world into a far more dangerous and complicated place than it had ever been before.
But the sole exception in this burning world was the Blue Dragon Kingdom, which appeared like a safe island in the middle of a raging sea of blood and war. It remained peaceful and stable, refusing to become involved in any of the conflicts that had swept through the rest of the world. Its borders stood like a dividing line between chaos and order, between bloodshed and peace, and between madness and reason.
Of course, numerous powers, including powerful clans, attempted to test this kingdom and see whether it truly possessed the formidable strength for which it was famous. But they disappeared completely without leaving a trace.
They were annihilated entirely with a speed and efficiency that no one had expected, further increasing the prestige of this ancient kingdom beyond description and making its name synonymous with absolute power that could not be challenged. No one dared to cross its red lines anymore, until the kingdom became an impenetrable wall separating two worlds that could never meet.
This also caused the Blue Dragon Kingdom to appear as a neutral land. No matter how intense the hostility between two enemies might be, no matter how much blood had been spilled between them, and no matter how many grudges had accumulated across generations, the moment they entered its borders, they were forced to abandon all their grievances and behave peacefully, as though they were kind neighbors who held no hatred in their hearts.
Otherwise, the only result awaiting them was immediate execution. This made the kingdom a unique place where negotiations, deals, and secret meetings could take place safely, far from the eyes of conspirators and the hands of assassins.
Meanwhile, Dan, who had just returned from one of his long journeys through outer space, stood in the planet's atmosphere and observed how the world had transformed into something resembling the warring states he knew from the original story. He smiled and then whispered to himself.
"It seems that even with my intervention, the world is still sliding into the Warring States Period just like in the original story, as though history is correcting itself."
Then he disappeared from his position in an instant and appeared in his private laboratory, where a large number of projects were waiting for him.
