Chapter 153

After the outcome of Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan, Konoha once again entered a state of Peace. Kakashi gained fame as Hokage. The reason for this, of course, was very simple. In times of crisis, Kakashi would directly summon ten Kage-level shinobi to help out ensuring that any conflicts would be solved.

Now Konoha Shinobi under him find themselves in a state where the worship of Kakashi has reached its peak. Among several other Ninja villages, Kakashi's name is also very notorious, with unanimous agreement on his capabilities. It doesn't matter how strong Kakashi is individually; what matters most is his ability to summon ten Kages to fight—a very critical advantage.

Regardless of the opponent's strength, Kakashi's ability to summon ten kages makes any schemes or strategies seem futile. Simply put, no matter how formidable Jonins are, they can't change the flow of war. It's better not to agonize Konoha at the moment.

After the settlement, many other Hokages were ready to go back to their worlds. But before leaving Obito inquired, "Kakashi, what are you going to do next?"

Kakashi responds, "It's the same as in any other world. I will unify the Ninja world under Konoha", Kakashi nods, stating, "Of course, we have to do this, but it shouldn't be rushed. Right now, Konoha is not strong enough. I think I will should start with the smaller countries with weaker Ninja Villages."

His plan received unanimous nods and praise from other Hokages, and soon everyone returned to their original worlds.

Shortly after, considerable changes take place in every world. In the world of Ryan, after the unification of the ninja world, peace prevails in Elemental Nations after thousands of years. With Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu dead, there is no one daring enough to trouble Konoha. Ryan's strength is widely acknowledged, preventing any other thoughts. Plus the Shinobi who had seen the cruelties of war loved peace.

This time is marked by peace, with occasional crimes easily resolved under the watchful eyes of the ninjas. Simultaneously, a new generation is being born. Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata were a few months old plus Neji was one year old. Witnessing the dawn of a new era, Ryan's primary focus lies in scientific research, emphasizing a commitment to technological progress and innovation.

After unifying the Land of Lightning, Konoha's technological level experienced rapid evolution. The technology in the Land of Lightning was highly advanced compared to Konoha. Upon integrating with the Unified Ninja World, Ryan successfully unified talents proficient in scientific research from major ninja villages, providing them with abundant resources and substantial research funding, ensuring they could focus solely on their work.

Researchers being supported by such a huge amount of resources and manpower entered a new era of progress. Concentrating on the development of various scientific research technologies, spanning biotechnology, ninjutsu, and Chakra-related technology. This support facilitated the emergence of numerous patented technologies, the continual evolution of chakra weapons, and the invention of scientific ninja tools.

Advancements were not limited to weaponry; medical ninjutsu also progressed rapidly, enhancing the level of medical treatment and biotechnology. As a result, the living standards of ninjas saw a constant improvement. The introduction of new technologies promised to transform the ninja world into a better place.

Amid these advancements, Ryan was preparing himself for the next Hokage chat group meeting. Kakashi, one of the elite ninjas, entered the office and presented the latest scientific research to Ryan.

This action surprised Ryan, as it was unusual for such matters to be reported directly, Especially by Kakashi. Ryan questioned why Kakashi, being one of the busiest individuals in this peaceful age, took the time to report in person.

Kakashi explained, "This invention is extraordinary. You issued the order when the project was approved. Any progress is to be reported immediately without mistakes." Listening to Kakashi's words, Ryan understood which research Kakashi was talking about.

Upon opening the scroll, he confirmed his suspicions—the latest Chakra cannon, a remarkable invention by the Ministry of Scientific Research. This cannon possessed an exaggerated level of power, capable of smashing meteorites into slag with a single shot. In the original timeline, developing such a Chakra cannon would have taken at least ten years, and the Land of Lightning's involvement would have been necessary. Yet, under Ryan's leadership, this feat was accomplished much earlier.

Ryan quickly assessed the demonstration's level. Essentially it is similar to the Chakra cannon in the world of Sixth Hokage Kakashi. Undoubtedly, it was already ahead of its time, leaving Ryan highly satisfied.

"Very nice!" he exclaimed to Kakashi. "For the scientific research staff behind this development, double their bonus for this year!"

Kakashi noted down Ryan's instructions. Ryan continued with his thoughts, expressing the need for further development of the Chakra cannon.

"It's best to miniaturize this thing," he suggested, envisioning a scenario where ninjas could carry it with them. According to Ryan, this would significantly enhance everyone's combat effectiveness. Kakashi nodded in agreement, documenting Ryan's vision for future reference.

Looking ahead, Ryan anticipated ongoing development by other scientists.

In the world of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama. Hashirama effortlessly secured the Land of Earth with his formidable strength. However, chaos ensued within the Land of Lightning, as many high-level officials acknowledged Hashirama's overwhelming power. Faced with the choice between futile resistance and survival, some proposed surrender.

The rugged Faction, led by Raikage, vehemently opposed this idea advocating for a fight to the death. The faction led by Kinkaku and Ginkaku refused to surrender to Hashirama, even if it meant being the last standing against the Cloud Shinobi Village. The news of the chaos caught the attention of Tobirama.

Recognizing a unique opportunity in the unfolding chaos, Tobirama shared his strategic insights with Hashirama. He proposed a multi-faceted plan that took advantage of the enemy's fear and the civil war inside Kumogakure. He suggested employing a divide-and-conquer approach to split the Raikage's forces from the Kinkaku and Ginkaku factions, using misinformation. He also recommended undermining the morale of Kumo, exploiting rivalries, and spreading confusion.

In addition, Tobirama advised a strategic deception—feigning a retreat to lure the Kinkaku's faction into a vulnerable position, where Hashirama could then launch a decisive counterattack. He also emphasized the importance of targeting key leaders to disrupt the command structure and capture the remaining forces. 

Taking the advice seriously, Hashirama swiftly acted on the plan proposed by Tobirama. The result was a decisive victory over Raikage and his shinobi in the Land of Lightning, leading to the surrender of the remaining forces.

As a consequence, the Land of Lightning fell under Konoha's control, marking the dominance of Konoha Village over all five giants of the ninja world. Only a few small countries in remote places, such as the Land of Snow remained to achieve complete unification.
