This was just the beginning!
As time passed, the strongmen from the former major Ninja Villages were resurrected via Edo Tensei one after another and were then taken away by the high-ranking officials of their respective former Villages.
They, father and son, explained why they had been resurrected via Edo Tensei this time, and urged them to discard their outdated Village-centric mentalities as soon as possible, so they could contribute to the peace of the Ninja World with more enthusiasm in the future.
Of course.
To keep this group of top-tier workhorses full of passion, Uchiha Jin had essentially dangled a carrot in front of them.
Resurrection!
And the existence of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama just happened to save him the cost of advertising.
" Senju! Tobirama! "
" Hmph, Uchiha Izuna! "
When enemies meet, they are especially hostile.
But before the two could start fighting directly, Uchiha Izuna was taken away by Uchiha Madara. He needed to quickly brief Izuna on how the Ninja Villages had been established and subsequently completely dissolved, as well as the fact that Neo Konoha was now Uchiha territory.
Why explain all this?
Because Uchiha Madara knew that his younger brother had the deepest feelings for the entire Uchiha Clan from childhood to adulthood.
The grudge with Senju Tobirama could be settled later; both of them were dead now, so what was the point of actually fighting a battle right now?
As it turned out, it was quite useful!
Upon hearing about the messy affairs of the Ninja World over these years, Uchiha Izuna felt as if he had been away for a lifetime.
" Konoha? Unified the Ninja World? "
" The Uchiha are now in power over the entire Ninja World? "
" That's great! "
A faint smile finally appeared on the corner of Uchiha Izuna's mouth.
However.
Just as his eyes rolled and began to flicker, Uchiha Madara, who knew his brother well, interrupted him before he could think further: " Izuna, put aside your little schemes. "
" The person currently in power among the Uchiha is named Uchiha Jin, and he is a terrifyingly, incredibly powerful guy. "
" Even if Senju Hashirama and I join forces, we are no match for him! "
His tone was very serious.
If one were to say that he had lost to him last time, it could be attributed to Uchiha Jin relying on that formidable sealing technique.
But, last night.
He had also witnessed with his own eyes Uchiha Jin's terrifying Fire Release, which was so powerful that it even made his soul tremble. Although he didn't know how Uchiha Jin had pulled it off, he understood that he was definitely no match for Uchiha Jin now.
The gap was too large!
Uchiha Izuna was stunned and couldn't help but ask in astonishment: " Not even you and Senju Hashirama combined are a match for that Uchiha Jin? "
He knew of the strength of his older brother and Senju Hashirama; it was a terrifying dominance that far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Even after he had activated his Mangekyo, he could only feel despair when looking at the two of them!
How could a clansman stronger than his own brother emerge within the current Uchiha Clan?
Originally, he had planned to seize back the position of clan head. Although he valued the Uchiha Clan highly, he valued his good brother even more in his heart, so he preferred for his brother to be the Uchiha Clan head.
But, it was a pity.
After truly understanding Uchiha Jin's strength, he could only helplessly give up on that idea.
There was no helping it!
The Uchiha were a clan that admired strength; since Uchiha Jin was powerful, he naturally had nothing to say.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The Kage and strongmen from various eras of the other Villages, upon learning that their Villages were finished and that Konoha had completely unified the Ninja World, felt uncontrollable anger at first and immediately wanted to grab their blades and fight Konoha to the death.
However.
Once they learned that the Ninjas and civilians of their own Villages had already been completely integrated by Konoha, and that everyone had become accustomed to Konoha's rule to the point where they had no desire to return to the era of the old Ninja Villages...
These strongmen and Kage from the former Ninja Villages could only sigh helplessly in the end, thereby completely abandoning their intentions.
There was no helping it!
Even the civilians and Ninjas of the various Villages had no interest in restoring their nations, so what could they, as undead, do?
But, immediately afterwards.
When they learned that Konoha possessed the ability to resurrect people—as long as one accumulated enough merit, they could be resurrected—and that Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara had already been resurrected, these Edo Tensei Strongmen were instantly stunned, and then a glimmer of light began to radiate from their eyes.
Yes!
Indeed, although the Pure Land had a peculiar attraction that made them, as undead, not want to return to the world of the living, with the Six Paths Sage's temporary departure, the Pure Land's attraction to them as undead naturally decreased by more than half.
...
The entire Konoha instantly became bustling.
With the undead from various eras being resurrected via Edo Tensei, they were all full of curiosity about this current era. Now, with Uchiha Jin's permission, these people began to wander around various places in Konoha.
As for rebelling?
There was really no fear of that!
Because after the joint research by Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru, the current Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu had become nearly perfect, and ordinary people simply had no qualification to break free from this restraint.
In the entire Konoha now, the only place truly busy was the research building.
With various remains being sent from all over the Ninja World, death row prisoners were already starting to run out.
There was no way around it; they had to pause!
After all, Uchiha Jin was not Orochimaru; he could not do anything too outrageous. He wouldn't feel bad about death row prisoners, but he also wouldn't use ordinary people as sacrifices.
By early the next morning, the work of excavating remains had concluded.
Throughout the research building, remains were sorted and placed in dense rows, just waiting for the arrival of death row prisoners and White Zetsu to start a new round of Edo Tensei work.
Hokage Office.
Looking at Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara before him, Uchiha Jin sat behind his desk and spoke to the two of them with deep sincerity.
" The two of you! "
" Time is tight, and the task is heavy. "
" Right now, we are competing with the Six Paths Sage for manpower. For every person we resurrect via Edo Tensei, the Six Paths Sage will have one less person he can summon. "
" If the Six Paths Sage summons one less strong person, there will be a little less destruction caused to the entire Ninja World. "
" There is a limited number of death row prisoners, and I cannot just use anyone to fill the gaps. "
" Therefore, whether we can find the White Zetsu that Black Zetsu has hidden away is the most critical task for the coming period. "
" For the peace of the Ninja World, for love and justice... "
" I am counting on you two! "
Following Uchiha Jin's words, the eyes of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara began to become serious.
Needless to say, for Senju Hashirama, as long as it concerned the peace of the Ninja World, he would be as energized as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
No sooner had Uchiha Jin finished speaking, Senju Hashirama spoke seriously: " Rest assured, Hokage, I am duty-bound; I will definitely find the White Zetsu! "
" I will do my best. " Uchiha Madara folded his arms across his chest and nodded slowly.
Don't look at his usual arrogant and unrestrained demeanor, or the fact that he was a major villain in the original work; in reality, his heart was also set on peace.
It was just that...
He had been thoroughly screwed over by Black Zetsu!
Since he could now truly see the possibility of peace, he naturally would not allow anyone to sabotage it.
Even if it were the Six Paths Sage—that would not be allowed!
