First Hokage Hashirama's brows furrowed slightly as he solemnly looked at Ryan, contemplating his actions. "Ryan, are you planning to start a war and attack the neighbouring small countries?" he inquired.
Ryan confidently nodded in response, causing the First Hokage to feel a sense of unease. In his own world, the First Ninja World War erupted shortly after this point in history. Hashirama immediately feigned his own death and took swift action to quell the tensions, albeit through the extortion of supplies.
However, Ryan had directly launched a full-scale war against a small country, which the First Hokage found unacceptable.
In response to the First Hokage's disapproval, Ryan gazed seriously at Hashirama and asked, "First Hokage, do you believe it's wrong for me to start a war?" His question caused Hashirama to subconsciously nod, but Ryan's next words plunged him into deep thought.
"First Hokage, you only see me waging war. How many people have died in the ninja wars? How tragic is the existence of these small countries caught in the crossfire between major powers? But what if these small countries become part of Konoha, or even if the entire ninja world is unified? Will there still be war then? Will true peace finally be achieved?"
Ryan's words resonated not only with the First Hokage but also with the Second Hokage Tobirama and the others present. They all pondered the implications of what Ryan had said.
Indeed, ninja wars had plagued the world repeatedly, resulting in countless casualties. If they were to wage a war to unify these small countries and eventually the entire ninja world, would war still persist?
Could the Ninja World finally experience true peace? The idea sparked a profound discussion within all the Hokages, including Tobirama. It seemed as though Ryan had opened the door to a new world, and the philosophy he presented aligned surprisingly with that of the former best friend of Hashirama Uchiha Madara.
"Madara's idea might be correct!" First Hokage Hashirama thought to himself, finally comprehending the significance. After a moment of contemplation, he concluded, "The war between big and small countries will continue as long as the current state of the ninja world remains. But if the ninja world is unified, where will war come from? It's clear now!"
As everyone present came to this realization, Ryan knew that the time was ripe for the next revelation. He dropped another bombshell, declaring, "The ninja world you see now is not as simple as it seems. The future threats we will face do not originate from within the ninja world."
These words surprised everyone, and Ryan proceeded to unveil the history of the ninja world, starting from Otsutsuki Kaguya to the Sage of Six Paths.
Thousands of years ago Kaguya and Isshiki were both sent to cultivate a God Tree on the planet Earth and harvest its Chakra Fruit, with which she was to provide for the main family of her clan from another world. Kaguya was a low-ranking member of the clan chosen as a sacrifice to the Ten-Tails, which would nurture the development of the God Tree. Instead, Kaguya desired the chakra fruit herself; betraying Isshiki in the process and leaving him to die.
Kaguya was discovered by the Guards of the Land of Ancestors during her arrival on Earth, who brought her before their emperor Tenji.
Identifying herself as the God Tree's guardian, Kaguya used her abilities to wipe Tenji's memories of the hostile encounter and subsequently settled among his people, becoming recognised as his concubine.
Living among humans, she slowly developed an attachment to the planet she meant to destroy. Growing closer to the emperor Tenji, she eventually became pregnant. When the Land of That began to threaten the Land of Ancestors over a border dispute, Tenji attempted to prevent the outbreak of war by declaring that anyone who attacked the larger nation's representatives was to be executed, an order which she broke when she was threatened by them, resulting in her and her assistant Aino becoming hunted by their land to be executed.
<Land of That and Land of Ancestors are really their canonical names.>
Losing all faith in humanity but still longing for peace, Kaguya believed that it was necessary for her to attain god-like powers in order to put an end to all of humanity's conflicts.
She defied the taboo surrounding the fruit and ate it. In doing so, she awakened the Rinne Sharingan and became the sole person on the planet endowed with chakra. Using her new-found power, Kaguya single-handedly ended the wars and took control of the nations.
For her deed of stopping the conflict, she received the blessing of the people and was worshipped as the Rabbit Goddess. After establishing peace and changing somehow, Kaguya used the Infinite Tsukuyomi on humans to transform them into an army of White Zetsu over the course of many years in fear of her clan returning to take her chakra away.
Recognizing the threat Kaguya posed to the world, Hagoromo and Hamura rose against her. They fought a gruelling battle.
"All chakra… belongs to me. Once again, all chakra shall become one!!!"
Eventually, she turned herself into the demonic Ten-Tailed Beast, only to be sealed away by her sons, but not before she created Black Zetsu, who orchestrated the entire shinobi history to revive her.
After managing to defeat her and seal her within the moon using the power of the Six Paths. This act made Hagoromo the first jinchūriki, or human vessel, of the Ten-Tails.
Following their victory, Hagoromo and Hamura took on the responsibility of maintaining balance in the world. Hagoromo became known as the Sage of the Six Paths and worked to spread the teachings of ninshū, the precursor to modern ninjutsu.
He sought to guide humanity towards peace and understanding. Before his death, he divided the ten-tailed beast into nine parts currently known as nine bijjus.
Hamura, on the other hand, chose to remain on the moon to watch over Kaguya's seal. He founded the Moon Clan and guarded the sacred relic known as the Tenseigan and the Gedo statue.
Uchiha Obito, who had recently joined the group, also stood up and confirmed the authenticity of Ryan's words, citing the records on the Uchiha clan's stele in his own world.
<This is not a true Tsukyomi world but one of the many possible worlds.>
As everyone listened to Ryan's account, the Second Hokage Tobirama couldn't help but solemnly state, "So, in the future, the entire ninja world will be threatened by the members of the Otsutsuki clan? Is that what you're saying?"
Ryan affirmed Tobirama's question, causing a sense of impending danger to loom over everyone in the chat group. It became evident that the sword of Damocles was hanging over their heads.
At this point, the focus shifted from waging wars against other nations to preparing for the looming threat of the Otsutsuki clan. The realization dawned on everyone that their actions were ultimately for the sake of peace in the Ninja World.
With an understanding reached, the meeting continued, and the group decided to proceed with the First Hokage, starting with neighbouring countries. The meeting concluded, and the light curtain displayed the next phase of events.
"After the meeting, Konoha officially launched an expedition to Annex the Land of Whirlpools, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Rain. You sent three armies simultaneously and personally led one to the battlefield in the Land of Rain. The three small countries offered no resistance and fell swiftly, becoming part of the Fire Kingdom's territory. Konoha absorbed the resources of these conquered nations, leading to exponential growth in Konoha's economy, military power, and the well-being of its citizens under your leadership."
As the light curtain unfolded the events, the actions and developments orchestrated by Ryan astonished the First Hokage and the others. They hadn't anticipated such significant advancements in Konoha's development. The scene on the light curtain concluded, leaving everyone eager to see the national power ratings achieved by Ryan's world.
"The final comprehensive score of national strength for Fourth Hokage Ryan's world is..."
<Kaguya even wanted to include her sons Hogoromo and Hamura against Otsutsuki in one Scene. You are not ready yet. But Hogoromo was found by Great Toad Sage Gamamaru who turned them against Kaguya. Plus Kaguya turned the woman liked by Hogoromo in White Zetsu so....>
