A Gathering Storm

'Am I seeing another era again?'

From the tumultuous Warring States Period, to the age of Ninja Villages, Granny Chiyo senses the dawn of a new era, only to see the previous era fade away once more. Having endured the rise and fall of each epoch, a new era unfurls again.

The world descends into decay, yet each era ushers in new favorites. These figures capable of changing the world consistently emerge in every age, deeply attached to the Fire Country, especially Konoha.

In the Warring States Period, the Senju and Uchiha dominated. In the Ninja Village Era, Konoha led the way, facing fewer enemies initially, but now an Uchiha from the Fire country challenges the Fire Country itself. All ninjas must unite to confront this threat.

Hidden Sand Village responded quickly and began to contact Yamigakure Village through Rasa.

Of course, they also contacted with the Kingdom of Wind, Seeking resources and support in these challenging times.

The Land of Rain,

Pain of the Akatsuki organization had already learned about the battle situation that night.

Kakuzu was very embarrassed, He was in the Magic Lantern Body Technique state. He thought that the events of that day just passed like that, and pretended that nothing had happened. But he didn't expect to be called here today.

When he went there to fight, no tasks were completed, no money was earned and he even failed to meet face to face with Yami to relay Pains invitation, So he felt a little embarrassed right now.

"Since it failed, just forget it. I have found a teammate for you. When you go to perform tasks next time, he will be accompanying you.". Pain said in an indifferent tone, but he didn't accuse Kakuzu for failing the mission. Pain just want to add another teammate for Kakuzu to perform tasks together.

"Teammates? It better not be just another piece of trash, or I'll sell his head for bounty.". Since Pain didn't accuse him Kakuzu gained some confidence and said proudly.

"He won't be killed so easily. It is said that he is also an immortal... Also be patient with your team mates. If you keep killing teammates, then I will consider you as a problem.". Pain was obviously dissatisfied with Kakuzu constantly killing his teammates. These words immediately shut up Kakuzu.

So he quickly left to complete the mission honestly.

After Kakuzu disappeared, Pain also released his jutsu.

In the Land of Rain Pain was standing alone in a tall building with contemplation under the rainy skies. He was thinking about something in the rain.

Until Konan appeared.

Her hair color is light blue-purple, she also has purple eye shadow, and her eye color is light orange. , wearing a lavender paper flower on the right side of her head, and a lip nail at the bottom of her lip. She was currently wearing the Akatsuki uniform.

"How is it going?", Konan asked Pain who was sitting on the edge of the building.

"The news has been given to Kakuzu. As for Yamigakure Village.... I feel like our plan can be advanced and we can take this opportunity to capture all the tailed beasts. If we can cooperate with that Yami, maybe it will be a lot easier for us. I'm going to talk to him.",Pain responded without looking back

Faced with the weather that seemed to be crying, Pain's words were without any ripples, as if they were the complete opposite.

"Are you about to take action now?.... Orochimaru and Kakuzu both went there without success. That guy probably isn't someone who wanted to be inferior to others. I don't think he will work for us or even cooperate with us."

Konan was a little hesitant, feeling that it would be too reckless to take action directly.

"Moreover, Yami still have to deal with other Ninja Villages. I also heard that Uchiha Yami can summon the dead people to fight. It is better to wait until those big Villages have a head-on conflict with each other.

Also Don't forget, there's also that guy, Uchiha Madara!!!".

Konan said what she thought.

These words made Pain turn to look at Konan.

"You don't have to worry so much. I will just invite him personally and let him know the power of God.

I believe that after learning about this power, he will compromise.

Even if he refuses, I won't kill him. Killing Yami is useless, if I kill him another will come, then another and this endless cycle of war will keeps on continuing. What I wanna kill is this war, and maybe after experiencing the cruelty of war and losing his beloved Yamigakure village, that Yami will also understand what pain is. At that time he may even volunteer to join the Akatsuki."

Pain spoke slowly, with a firm tone at the end, as if everyone had become his pawn.

It is obvious that a living Uchiha Yami is More valuable.

But, even if Yami dies, other countries will definitely not give up fighting, the endless cycle of war will always continue.

If Yami accept his offer, then with the cooperation of Yamigakure Village, they can more easily obtain several tailed beasts from Yamigakure Village, and defeat other countries. They can even join the war.

If Yami refuses, then there will be one more enemy. It's a little more difficult, but that's all there is to it.

"In this case,

I'm going with you."

Konan nodded, and finally said this.

Pain hesitated but seeing the determination on Konan's eyes he agreed.

"Then let's make arrangements and let Orochimaru come along too"

"Okay."

A rare three-person action by the Akatsuki organization.

Konan nodded and started to make arrangements.

The people from the Akatsuki organization also began to take various actions, mainly because this matter is too big. 

Especially the Uchiha Yami's declaration of war on all countries , their Country of Rain, also cannot turn a blind eye to this and there will be many other countries that may take this war as a chance to invade their Country of Rain.

Pain just want to see their attitude.

Each village had its own reaction, but the daimyos contacted each other immediately, discussed the results, and took action.

They will never allow a Ninja who killed a Daimyo to live, so these Daimyos were even willing to forget the hatred between them and was ready to unite against Uchiha Yami.

"Then it's settled like this, let the ninjas from each ninja village gather together"

"This battle will make it impossible for the ninjas to recover for decades."

"The power of these Ninjas are too terrifying, we must destroy them"

"I agree, things like what happened in the Fire Country cannot happen again."

Their goal is not only Yamigakure Village, but also the idea of dragging other ninja villages into the water, causing a large number of ninjas to sacrifice in this battle.

Different classes have different things for them to consider. Likewise, as daimyo, they do not allow such dangerous existences to exist forever. For them it doesn't matter if it is a Shadow level power house or an elite Jonin, if a ninja is too powerful then they should destroy them.

Even the ninjas of their own country are the same. , this time the death of the Fire Country Daimyo had scared them, so they quickly reached a consensus. They understood the serious threat Ninja villages pose to their position. If one day other Ninja villages decided to follow Yami's pathe then it will be over for them. So the Daimyos decided to use this war as an excuse to severely weaken the power of every Ninja villages.

In addition to weakening major ninja villages and ninjas, the most important thing is to wipe out the Yamigakure vilage. Daimyos can't let a village live that goes against them, so they should make an example out of the Yamigakure village.

The current existence of Yamigakure Village is naturally a serious concern for the four major countries, and it is also the most dangerous existence in the ninja world in their view.

Yamigakure village,

Sitting in the office and having some free time, Uchiha Yami took a deep breath. 

Although he wanted to destroy all major countries, Despite the urge, he suppresses his rage, due to the office work, and let himself get used to this role in advance.

The ninja world grapples with significant pressure, not only from major countries but also covert organizations like the Akatsuki, and the looming threat of Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths. When he thought about it carefully, the pressure is really quite big.

Yami plan to wait for them to take action later and defeat them in one go. This was originally one of the purposes of his declaration of war.

Uchiha Yami finds some free time, primarily dealing with matters in Sand Ninja Village and addressing issues at the Land of Fire's border.

In the past few days, Five shadow clones assist key figures like Nara Shikaku and Uchiha Fugaku in managing and temporarily resolving various problems arising from recent events. In addition, it is only a matter of time before they take over these things.

Fire country is a large area, So Yami didn't want to directly take over this large area, but just leaving it alone wouldn't do. There will definitely be problems no matter what he does, so he might as well take over. The main reason why Yami didn't do it until now is because he was busy.

As soon as the Declaration of war from Yami came out, many major countries swiftly responded to the unfolding crisis. They also understood the difficulty that Yami will be facing while uniting the Fire country, To increase the difficulties of Yami the Major countries announced that after the destruction of Yamigakure village, the smaller villages in the Country of Fire will also get a share of land from them.

This made the already hard task of uniting the fire Country even more troublesome. The major countries urged the small countries to unite against the imminent invasion by the Fire Country. 

Other major ninja village was not like the Sand Ninja Village, who are still considering whether to surrender. For others, in order to maintain their status, they must ensure the extinction of Yamigakure village.

"Is there no one who can help solve all this?"

"Just kill all those who disobey and wanna rebel before the evening."

Uchiha Yami said with a headache, he was having a hard time controling the situation.

So, he directly used the Re animation Jutsu and two coffins appeared directly.

"Is there a fight again?"

" You evil Uchiha brat!!!"

The Senju Brothers appeared directly.
