Chapter 294 - 296 (1/2)

53-th year from the foundation of Konoha.

The Shadow Guards of Konoha secretly entered the Land of the Wind and suddenly attacked Sunagakure, officially declaring the beginning of the Fourth World War of Shinobi, also called the war for the unification of the world of Shinobi.​​

But wars are often unpredictable.

At the moment when Konoha was fighting Sunagakure, Nagato attacked the Great Villages with the help of the Shinobi Edo Tensei, beginning to rapidly capture the Biju that were in their hands.

Finally.

Uchiha Madara was resurrected.

He gathered the power of Biju together and revived Jubi, and then became his Jinchuriki and received the power of the Sage of the Six Paths, with the intention of immersing the entire world in an illusion.

But at this moment, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Hatake Yeruashi, took a step.

He defeated the Shinobi army of Edo Tensei that attacked Sunagakure, and later crushed Madara himself, ending his ambitions.

The part about Kaguya Ootsutsuki was hidden.

This big news affected not only Shinobi, but thanks to the efforts of Konoha, it spread widely among ordinary people, stunning the whole world!

Ordinary people, as a rule, do not know much about Shinobi.

Only such personalities as the Five Kage of the Great Villages, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, have great fame among the general population, and everything else is usually not widely distributed.

It was precisely because the name of Uchiha Madara was widely known among the civilian population and was described in all historical books that these events became so widespread and shocked people all over the world.

The name Yeruashi has spread all over the world.

But this time, not only among Shinobi, but also among ordinary people. Gradually, people around the world began to call him the legendary Shinobi.

After this war.

Sunagakure, which suffered huge losses, became part of Konoha, and three months later, after careful preparation and screening, more than half of Suna's shinobi moved to Konoha.

The remaining Shinobi merged with almost a thousand sent to the Land of the Wind Shinobi Konoha, forming the 1st branch of Konoha.

In the course of all this.

Shinobi Suna, who did not want to obey, were immediately brutally executed, according to the order of the Fifth Hokage. Such incidents were not doc.u.mented or made public.

Unification is always accompanied by blood and darkness.

There is no bloodless unity, and even if something like this happened, the resulting united country would never become truly stable.

Along with the formation of Suna as a part of Konoha, the Wind Country also collapsed.

The Wind Country bowed its head and officially became part of the Land of Fire.

In the next few months.

The vast territory of the Land of Wind became part of the Land of Fire.

Yeruashi also contributed to a smooth and stable unification, namely, he significantly changed the environment of the Wind Country with the help of Mokuto. He created a huge amount of greenery and vegetation in the desolate and windy territory of the Wind Country, making it more habitable.

This greatly contributed to the strengthening and stability of the expanded Land of Fire.

Then.

After another two months, Kumogakure surrendered to Konoha.

In the last war, Kumogakure suffered much more serious and tragic losses than Sunagakure.

But because of the tough and unyielding nature of the Kumo Shinobi, joining the Kumogakure was accompanied by a huge amount of blood and fire.

The fourth Raikage fell at the hands of Kakashi's Sharingan.

With the surrender of Kumogakure, the Land of Lightning also became part of the Land of Fire.

Controlling and maintaining a stable situation on the territory of the three great countries at the same time was the limit of the current Konoha.

Yeruashi made the decision to stop expanding for a while and took up personal development.

Even if Konoha did not make a move, the remaining Countries of Water and Earth were in fear. Kirigakura and Iwagakura were immediately provided with a huge amount of funds, in the hope that they would be able to build up their strength in the shortest possible time.

But almost everyone understood that it was useless.

Konoha did not act only because it would be too difficult to maintain stability and order in the territory of the four absorbed great countries at once, because the newly absorbed Shinobi Sunagakure and Kumogakure still require careful monitoring and verification. The combined forces of other villages are not only unable to play a significant role, but also require a part of Konoha's forces for constant monitoring.
