Chapter 51 Nobody Likes Nobles it seems!

"It's finally a success!" Ryan exclaimed with satisfaction, looking at the transformed Hanzo standing before him, now resembling a puppet. Despite it being his first attempt at creating a Six Paths avatar, the craftsmanship was undeniably impressive. Hanzo, now equipped with a pair of Rinnegan eyes, appeared even more formidable than before.

<The Nightmare of Sannins is back. This guy sparred 3 of them because didn't want to go full-blown war with Konoha. They knew it. Hanzo knew it.>

Leaving the room after completing the creation of the animal Path. Ryan attracted the attention of everyone who caught sight of Hanzo beside him.

Curiosity arose when they learned that Ryan had utilized the powers of the Rinnegan to bring Hanzo back into existence as a puppet. Orochimaru, standing nearby, grew particularly interested in the abilities of the Rinnegan, but refrained from asking too many questions.

With the Land of Rain situation resolved, there was no longer a need for everyone to remain there, except for a garrison.

Following Ryan's orders, the army began their journey back to Konoha. As for the newly created Hanzo's animal path, it was left behind in the Rain Shinobi Village, ensuring Ryan maintained control over the Land of Rain with this avatar.

Accompanying the return to Konoha was Minato's army from the Land of Grass and the White Fang's army from the Land of Whirlpools.

After leaving a small garrison force, they too chose to return. The three teams swiftly arrived back in Konoha, while the Uzumaki family, under Ryan's arrangement, paid a visit to the ancestral land of the Senju clan.

With the Senju clan nearly extinct, Tsunade agreed that their vacant land should be put to use, and since the Uzumaki clan had distant ties to the Senju, it seemed fitting to allocate it to them.

However, what surprised Ryan the most was Minato's actions. Not only had he travelled to the Land of Grass, but he also brought back a wife from the Uzumaki clan.

Ryan couldn't help but marvel at the power of the world's revisions, as it seemed his own appearance inadvertently changed the course of events, leading Minato to marry a girl from the Uzumaki clan. Ryan sent his blessings for their union.

With the war over, Konoha entered a period of rapid development under Ryan's guidance. All the clans worked together for progress, and the Uchiha clan, in particular, underwent a significant transformation.

They gained the love and trust of the people of Konoha and were even considered a source of security when assigned to missions. Shisui and Itachi also flourished under Ryan's mentorship, while Jiraiya shifted his focus from seeking materials to teaching Yahiko and others.

<Impossible, he didn't stop research even when teaching Naruto.>

Periodically, he would bring Nagato to Ryan to discuss the development of the Rinnegan.

As for Orochimaru, with a substantial number of experimental subjects at his disposal, there was no need for him to attack the people of Konoha. Additionally, Ryan had asked Orochimaru to gather some of the Uchiha individuals who were initially sent away. Intrigued by the Sharingan, Orochimaru delved into intense research. Immortality and scientific breakthroughs were the driving forces of his life.

Amidst Konoha's rapid progress, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, Land of Wind, and Land of Water converged a meeting, filled with unease and outrage.

"What are these ninjas trying to do?"

"The Hokage in Konoha has gone too far!"

"They directly attacked the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain!"

Their grievances stemmed from Konoha's recent actions. Even the daimyos of the destroyed Land of Grass and Land of Rain knelt before the three great nations, their voices trembling with anger.

"This Konoha is disregarding all rules!"

"Will they dare to attack other major countries in a few years?"

Initially, the daimyos had no intention of getting involved, as ninjas were meant to serve them. However, the last words of the daimyos struck a chord of unease within the three great nations. If Konoha could attack smaller countries now, wouldn't they potentially pose a threat to the larger nations in the future?

"A mere ninja!" one of the daimyos scoffed.

"We must demand an explanation from the Land of Fire for this war!"

"Konoha's Hokage must be replaced!"

The three daimyos agreed to take action. Consequently, they swiftly made their way to the daimyo mansion of the Land of Fire, the most prosperous country in the world.

Welcoming their unexpected visit, the Fire Country daimyo greeted them with curiosity. It was unusual for the daimyos to convene unless there was a joint examination, training exercise, or some thrilling event to witness. The presence of the three daimyos piqued the Fire Country daimyo's interest.

However, their purpose soon became evident as they presented the matters concerning the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain.

As the events were recounted in detail, the face of the Fire Country daimyo darkened with anger. "Interesting! Konoha has replaced the Fourth Hokage without notifying me!" he exclaimed indignantly.

Hearing the Fire Country daimyo's words, the eyes of the other two daimyos lit up. In unison, they proclaimed, "They are not taking us seriously!"

"This Hokage is disregarding all rules!"

"Konoha must surrender their people and replace the Hokage!"

<I also don't know where they get their confidence. Perhaps this is what people call ignorance is bliss.>

Agreeing with their demands, the Fire Country daimyo promptly summoned the twelve guardian ninjas. Their mission was clear: bring the Fourth Hokage of Konoha to the daimyo mansion for an explanation. Obediently, the twelve guardian ninjas departed the daimyo mansion and set out for Konoha.

Witnessing the unfolding plan, the three daimyos exchanged knowing smiles. However, in the eyes of the Fire Country daimyo, they resembled foolish pigs. With Konoha's strength weakened, the daimyos planned to have their respective ninja villages attack the Land of Fire upon their return.

Soon, the twelve guardian ninjas arrived at the gates of Konoha, ready to carry out their mission.
