Kaguya's Revival

In the capital of Land of, in the middle of the Daimyo's palace, the Tsuchikage Kitsuchi was sitting opposite to the Daimyo of Land of, quietly sipping tea.

All around is silent, only the sound of snow and wind whistling outside the palace is incomparably piercing to the ears.

"It's surprising that the snow and wind haven't dissipated by this time... I'm afraid that this year's production will definitely be reduced."

Because of the abundance of natural chakra, this world had birthed many powerful beings while at the same time raising the energy level of disasters many times over.

Although there hadn't been an extreme celestial phenomenon like the Carnian pluvial episode since entering the modern era, when the heavens truly began to wreak havoc, everyone could only shiver.

T/N: Carnian pluvial episode was an interval of major change in global climate that was synchronous with significant changes in Earth's biota both in the sea and on land

Kitsuchi was extremely worried about this.

The profession of a ninja had little to do with farming, but after suffering a great loss in the Fourth Ninja World War, Kitsuchi had been trying to find ways to increase the food production of his village.

Kitsuchi wanted to form an internal cycle as much as possible instead of buying from the outside - during the Fourth Ninja World War, because of insufficient preparation, the two villages of Iwa and Kumo, which had been in a hurry to stock up on grain, had been viciously slaughtered by those black-hearted grain merchants.

Now that time had changed, Kitsuchi had never forgotten.

He was worried about this year's Land of Earth's grain production, and even put his teacup down.

Such behavior was more or less rude.

Luckily, the Land of Earth Daimyo, who was seating across from him, didn't care.

"There is no way to reduce the production, this is the power of nature, we can only endure."

The Land of Earth Daimyo truly didn't care about the reduction in production.

In the eyes of the Daimyo, this was even a good opportunity to get rich.

After all, the five great nations were vast, and as modern nations, there was already a large amount of stock in their granaries. As long as they were willing to lower their quality of life, it was not a big problem to carry on for a few years.

The same could not be said for the smaller countries... The suffering of small countries would be their best chance to make money.

Of course, this was more than a little politically incorrect, and the nobles of the five great nations were unaware of this.

The Land of Earth Daimyo and Kitsuchi spoke of something else.

"I heard that the allied forces and the Akatsuki Organization fought fiercely for a long time before... But those reports are just too troublesome for me to read, can you tell me more about it?"

"If there's any trouble, I might be able to help."

The Daimyo of the Land of Earth didn't care about the reduction in production, he had summoned Kitsuchi over now just to confirm one thing - about the previous war between the Akatsuki Organization and the ninja alliance in the Land of Demons.

Hearing the Land of Daimyo talk about this, Kitsuchi's face flushed and became serious again.

"I have already written all of the events of the battle that took place on the frontline in my report. The battle was tough, but the advantage is mine, it's just that the enemy is cunning and was not able to compete for the full success for a while, so we still need to wait for a moment."

"Oh? Is that really the case? That's good... Why have I heard that there is some military fickleness at the front line?"

Beads of sweat appeared on Kitsuchi's forehead.

The front line wasn't floating, it was simply a hammer - those guys were really playing cards with the Akatsuki organization!

In the eyes of outsiders, this time, the five nations allied forces and the Akatsuki organization fought very badly, and the mountains were all gone one by one. In order not to spill the beans, the Five Nations even had the residents of the Land of Demons evacuate their country.

If it wasn't for the fact that the factories in the Land of Fire later took in this group of people, who know how terrible things would have happened.

The difficulty of leaving one's homeland is not just an emotional issue, but after a farmer leaves the land...

But only those who experienced it firsthand know how outrageous both sides really were.

On the front lines of the war, patrols on both sides greeted each other, and when they had no mission, they played cards to pass the time. If there is a mission, according to each other's mission, we agree on which hills to bomb, and then go back to their own homes, each looking for their own mother.

The two sides have never had a real fight.

It's a weird situation, but... seems natural?

No one wants to go up against Pain.

Just as no one wants to go up against the Godaime Hokage.

If they really pissed each other off and the Big Boss himself came down, no one would be able to withstand that outcome.

The Super · Shinra Tensei don't recognize people.

It could destroy the entire Konoha in one blow, so naturally it could destroy any Ninja village in one blow.

The Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion is the same.

Innately, neither side wanted to bring the war to a white heat, so they were extremely restrained when they actually did it.

Moreover, during the long confrontation between the two sides, the two sides also began to exchange ideas in a subtle manner.

War always destroys good things, but it also accelerates certain things objectively.

-The Konoha is a great place to live now, even as a disabled ninja, it's better than the life you had outside. Theoretically, Konoha won't accept the village's rouge ninja, but as long as you haven't killed your own people, you can join the Foreign Legion, and that's a lot more comfortable than you'd be if you were out there licking your own blood.

-If they had known that Konoha was growing so fast, they would've put up with it a little more... but there are good things outside, although earn less, but free, and the feeling of being a nobleman, is really good, you do not understand.

Konoha ninja face former comrades, always hope they can turn back to the shore.

The ninja village has always had double zero tolerance for rebel ninjas in their own village, but Makoto himself climbed out of the battlefield, and he knows how hard it was for the former ninjas.

As long as they hadn't killed their own people, everything was still negotiable... After all, before the Fourth Ninja World War, the ninja's living environment was really poor, and many people actually had feelings for Konoha, but they just couldn't help it...

The big thing is to join the Foreign Legion.

After the roots are gone, someone has to do the dirty work.

The Konoha renegade ninja in the Akatsuki organization also envied the life of the Konoha ninja, but after getting used to staying in the Land of Ninja, they also began to like this country created by themselves.

Poor is a little poor, but they themselves as the boss, there is no nobility in it ah.

They are earning more or less for themselves.

It's not the same as working for someone else.

Neither side was able to convince the other, but the contact of ideas made each other realize a whole new path.

The rebel ninjas began to realize that ninjas could originally live that way.

And the big village ninjas began to realize that ninjas could live like that.

There was a definite change of heart on both sides.

This was the case for the ninja of Konoha, and the situation was roughly similar for the ninja of other ninja villages.

Plus, before the war started, Makoto had already confided in several villages that the focus this time would be on the energy company... Then a deadly fight in the eyes of outsiders ended up just like that into a sit-in war.

For the inside story, Kitsuchi always knew.

But what could he do?

Betray the other ninja villages and tell the Daimyo the truth?

That is not the ninja village in the second five, directly excluded from the sequence of the five major ninja villages?

If the four major ninja villages unite and do not bring Iwa to play, the result will be devastating.

And there are some things that can not be said with the Daimyo - in the middle and high level of the Akatsuki organization, Iwa rouge ninja occupy a considerable proportion.

Rationally speaking, this was a very normal thing. Because even the rouge ninja, also divided into three, six, nine grades. Obviously, the average quality of the five major ninja villages' rouge ninja who had received a complete education would be substantially better than the other rouge ninja.

-If you are not strong enough, you would have long been cleaned up by the secret departments of the big ninja villages. Comparatively, the dark sections of the smaller nations are much worse.

The Akatsuki Organization is a very young organization, and does not have much heritage. But it is also because of its youth that it has adopted a very strict ability-only theory within its ranks.

If you're good, you go up. If you can't, you go down.

No qualifications , no seniority, no favoritism.

So a long time, in addition to accounting and other professional fields, dawn organization of middle and high level are basically five big ninja village people.

Those who know, of course, understand that it is because the average quality of the five major ninja villages is high, so the situation is like this.

Do not know, also thought that the dawn organization is the five big ninja village joint branch... This kind of thing, destined to be unable to explain clearly.

For the sake of this crap, Kitsuchi had been having a headache. But he also really does not have too good way, can only stay in the middle not to send.

This entanglement, just as he as a reformist, but actually doing conservative things.

As a young man, Kitsuchi was eager for change. Because from the changes in Konoha, he saw the vigor that exploded from the Ninja Village after the changes.

But unlike the other Kages, he was forced into power almost by the support of Onoki. He was surrounded by conservative Iwagakure elders.

Iwa had suffered a great loss from Konoha before, even the old people weren't completely incapable of accepting change, but as conservatives, they had a bottom line...

They were always ninjas.

Unlike some people, who already had the beginnings of wanting to turn from warlords to the world.

This nagging feeling was destined to be difficult for outsiders to understand.

Kitsuchi knew that the Daimyo had always had some hidden sources of information. He should have already sensed that something was wrong with the United Ninja Army, but there was little actual evidence - trying to investigate the Ninja Army and get actual evidence would be too difficult.

When the lie was exposed, it was bound to cause the wrath of the daimyo. But at this moment...

"It's normal for the ninjas to be a bit emotionally unstable after consecutive bitter battles, it doesn't have much of an effect on the big picture."

"So that's how it is, but speaking of which, the Iwagakure has indeed had a hard time these past two years... How about this then, I'll talk to the Ministry of Finance later, and increase Iwa's special financial aid by another 30%. What do you think?"

Obviously, the Land of Land's Daimyo had already found some clues from the shocking situation in the Land of Lightning, and wanted to stabilize the heart of the Iwagakure military by increasing their financial support.

Just...

"It's really appreciated."

It wasn't that Kitsuchi couldn't see certain problems, he also heard the bells of the times. But he was caught in the center because of his position, and it was beyond exasperating.

There were some things that he could only pretend not to know.

"Well, that's good."

The Daimyo did not notice Kitsuchi's abnormality, and after saying a few more words, he let Kitsuchi leave under the pretext of being tired.

After leaving the Daimyo's palace, Kitsuchi tempered the joy on his face and replaced it with a worried face. But when he returned to Iwagakure, before he could sit down, he received a message from the front line and the diplomats.

There wasn't much to say about the frontline, just how the frontline ninjas were playing cards and touching fish.

Since the two sides weren't actually at war, it was just this kind of daily intelligence.

There were no real battle reports, and the data given to the Daimyo could basically only be hard-coded by themselves.

If I have to say that there is something important, it is that the Land of Demons' seal on the yokais has been greatly strengthened by the masters of the various countries, and within one or two hundred years, it won't be able to come out and sneak around again.

The Land of Demons' priestesses are indeed good at what they do, and their sealing techniques can basically be considered a masterpiece.

But compared to the sealing masters of the five major ninja villages, there was still a bit of a gap.

In order to be on the safe side, this time, even the Sandaime and Jiraiya went along with them.

After careful study, this group of great masters worked out a stronger and more secure sealing method to ensure that the sprites couldn't come out and cause trouble again.

As for a couple hundred years from now... That would really have to rely on the power of the descendants.

Anyway, the art was left behind, and even if the descendants never managed to improve it, they could seal the sprites again by following the gourd.

Sealing the sprites wasn't really on the Five Ninja Village's battle objectives, except that Makoto had emphasized it as such - what if their energy experiments were interfered with by a variable if they didn't seal the yokais completely?

In fact, the Kages knew what this guy was up to.

With the sprites completely sealed, then those evil chakras would no longer flow out. Under the divine power of time, the already barren land of the Land of Demons would slowly return to normal.

At the very least, they would be able to farm and feed themselves.

Now that the people of the Land of Demons have traveled to work in the Land of Fire, the cohesion of these inhabitants of the Land of Demons will instead increase because they are in a foreign land, and will be more inclined to accept the leadership of the priestess.

And after a few years, the priestess with a stronger voice will bring these people of the Land of Demons, who have saved up some money, back to their homeland.

By this time, the land has been restored and they have some money in their hands. There was money, land, and the emotion of returning after a long absence. As long as the priestess' abilities weren't too bad, then the country's economy would surely slowly start to improve...

It was clear that Miroku was a responsible priestess.

The days of the Land of Demons would slowly get better.

"This should also be one of Suo's goals, this guy is always so decent... But it's also because he's decent that people are willing to trust him."

Makoto did do a lot of really over the top things, but he also gave a lot of people opportunities that they would otherwise never have.

That was the fundamental reason why he hadn't died even after waving for so long.

And the news the diplomat brought back... It was the experiments of the Nature Crystallization.

"Results already so soon? Konoha is so efficient."

"Hmm? Even the Suna didn't get the new sample and sent it straight to me... Heh, this is thinking of straying from me."

Makoto was becoming more and more fond of playing yangmai lately, and Kitsuchi saw through the other party's thoughts right away.

However, Kitsuchi was not angry.

He was even a bit curious as to what kind of finished product could make Makoto so confident.

"Is this the manual? Let's see... Theoretically, after a fist-sized natural energy crystal was fully released, the amount of energy it produced would be a day's worth of power generated by a small thermal power station... 32 times?!!!!"

...

Black Zetsu took advantage of the wind and snow to quietly visit Konoha.

Of course, he didn't come to fight.

It was Makoto who invited him.

Before Sasuke left this timeline, she had done many things, one of the most important of which was that she had utilized her identity as a future traveler to gain the trust of Makoto and Black Zetsu respectively.

And based on that, she informed the two of the imminent early return of the Otsutsuki lineage, which led to Makoto and the Black Zetsu's cooperation.

For Black Zetsu, the pursuing Otsutsuki clan was an enemy that had to be defeated.

For those in the Naruto world, Kaguya was immortal. Even if they were as strong as the Six Paths brothers, they could only seal their mother, not completely destroy her.

But the Otsutsuki clan was different.

They originally had the trait of becoming stronger by devouring their clan members, and Kaguya, who was sealed up and completely unable to move, was simply a plate of well-done delicacies to them.

This was something that Black Zetsu could not accept in any way.

And Makoto did not welcome the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan.

To this group of bird people, planting a divine tree was basically the same as planting the spiritual tree of the Dragon Ball world. They drained the essence of a world just to increase their power.

So rightfully so, the two united.

Previous grudges aside, let's get past the Otsutsuki clan first.

The two sides reached an agreement, and Black Zetsu also sold Obito and Uchiha Madara according to the agreement between the two sides - since Makoto already knew about the two, the probability of these two people coming to fruition was basically zero, so they might as well take it out to maintain the fragile partnership with each other.

The two sides already had a basis for cooperation, but that didn't mean that the two sides were on good terms.

Both of them knew this only too well, so apart from the necessary contact, they basically didn't meet when they could.

This was the first time Makoto had taken the initiative to ask to meet with Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu was slightly curious as to what Makoto planned to say to him.

He took a seat across from Makoto. Naruto, who was forever out of tune, did not open his mouth at this time, and still maintained his meditation stance.

It was only after a long time that Makoto slowly opened his eyes.

A golden light flashed across the chamber.

Inexplicably, Black Zetsu's body went cold around him. However, the golden light under Makoto's eyes flickered and quickly returned to a pure black color.

Black Zetsu's hanging heart was slowly lowered.

"What is it that you've sought me out for?"

"I don't have time."

Makoto didn't bend the rules this time, but got straight to the point.

"I can't hold out much longer... Before that, we have to solve Kaguya's problem."

No matter how much they delayed, the Heart Demon was crumbling.

Makoto knew that it was time for him to make up his mind.

It was much faster than he thought.

There was no way he could wait until the heart demon had completely collapsed before he started to act.

In fact, he had always known that the sooner he did it, the better.

... After all, that fellow was getting stronger all the time...

This had always been something that the Black Zetsu had hoped for, and when he heard Makoto mention it, he couldn't help but have some smiles appear at the corners of his mouth.

"I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time..."

After countless days and nights of hard work, the little black-hearted dumpling back then was finally going to fulfill his dream, and even the cold-blooded Black Zetsu couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

But after all, he wasn't a child anymore, and his efforts during the long light hours had likewise made him understand what it meant to be calm.

The closer he got to success, the more he had to remain calm.

"After making a pact with you, I've been making efforts to free Mother-sama. The jutsu and materials needed to break the seal of the Six Paths are pretty much ready for me."

After all, the seal was placed by the Six Paths brothers themselves, and its strength was unimaginable. Even after so many years, it was still incredibly strong.

Even Black Zetsu needed to make a lot of preparations.

"But for mother's resurrection, a sacrifice is still needed, as well as the nine Bijus..."

The Juubi Jinchuuriki was not necessary to advance to the Six Paths level, but Black Zetsu needed to make his mother incomparably powerful upon her return.

In the end, both sides lacked enough trust.

Black Zetsu didn't mind dying for his mother, but he absolutely couldn't accept her being sealed again as soon as she came out.

-After all, Makoto had no sense of propriety.

"The matter of the sacrifice and the Nine Bijus will be fine with me."

"Who are you going to make the sacrifice?"

"Uchiha Madara."

Black Zetsu's eyes widened slightly.

"Didn't you just humiliate him earlier... gow could he cooperate?"

"The swordsman named Senju Hashirama came to him with beautiful women and meat. He promised to pull the flag with excitement."

At this, Black Zetsu wanted to spit.

He just needed the outcome to be good anyway.

"I don't doubt that you'll be able to obtain the Bijus... But if Nagato has always refused to use Heavenly Life Technique, how are you going to resurrect Uchiha Madara?"

Since the beginning, Nagato had always been a tragic tool of a man.

He's been schemed against his whole life, and stumbled and never found an answer - in the original, he eventually chose to trust Naruto, and I'm afraid that he realized that his path was not going to work...

But things are different now.

With Makoto's constant interference, Nagato is gradually stepping out of his set destiny. How his future would be was not to be mentioned, but in this time period, trying to get Nagato to use the certain death of the Reincarnation Born was a bit difficult.

"There are so many ways to resurrect in the world, there's no need to hold on to Heavenly Life Technique... I'll fix that anyway."

"There's only one thing you need to do for me - after Uchiha Madara is resurrected, he's going to be incredibly angry, and I can't use my people to monitor it, so keep an eye on him for me for the duration of his rage. Until... we make all the preparations."

Black Zetsu had a unique advantage in monitoring, and messing with intelligence was truly a masterpiece. Even in the face of the furious Uchiha Madara, he had absolute certainty that he would be able to retreat in one piece.

Makoto's words, however, always gave off a strange feeling.

"It sounds... You seem to be preparing to use the resurrected Uchiha Madara to do something? You're not trying to resurrect him in the Land of Fire, are you?"

"Of course not, my goal is the Land of Earth."
