UK:GSW Chapter 467. The Overturning of the Old System Brought by the Shinobi World War
Targeting Otsutsuki Isshiki, hunting and capturing this guy is precisely Uchiha Kei and his team's plan.
However, given the current situation, pulling it off is still very difficult.
It's not that they can't win; rather, capturing Otsutsuki Isshiki is hard. If it were only about killing him, the difficulty wouldn't be high—just have the Otsutsuki brothers go, and Uchiha Kei assist on the side, applying a buff with his special ability, and it could be done.
It is exactly because killing Otsutsuki Isshiki is no longer a problem that they have gone a step further: they intend to capture him alive.
After all, a living member of the Otsutsuki Clan has enormous research value.
To achieve this goal, now is not the time to make a move on Kara and Otsutsuki Isshiki. They still need to keep stockpiling strength, leveling up and doing research to achieve further breakthroughs.
At the very least, they must first produce the first chakra fruit so that Uchiha Kei can complete an upgrade in the level of life.
This is not something that can be completed in a short time; therefore, Uchiha Kei and the others must be patient.
Fortunately, time is the one thing Uchiha Kei and his group do not lack right now, and the long stretch ahead belongs to their period of growth.
In this situation, Uchiha Kei continues making more genjutsu games, and those game creators he found have also begun to put in real effort. One after another, games are being created that are neither made by Uchiha Kei nor Jiraiya's kind of "artistic masterpieces."
Although basically none of them can compare with the genjutsu games Uchiha Kei developed, they also haven't turned into total trash. After all, this first batch of genjutsu-game creators he recruited are people with ideas and perseverance.
Even Pakura—the woman who went off the rails because of Jiraiya's artistic masterpieces—has thrown herself into creating such "artistic masterpieces." What she has created is not trash either, but rather works with quite a bit of story and gameplay.
In fact, in terms of gameplay, she even surpasses Jiraiya's artistic masterpieces.
Simply put, when it comes to play, once women let go, they are very gifted.
It's just that Pakura's game-creation process did not last long. Because Sunagakure was destroyed, the Third Kazekage died in battle, and the surviving Sunagakure shinobi were barely holding the line with the Hidden Leaf's help, struggling on at death's door, Pakura chose to terminate her undercover mission and return directly to Sunagakure's side to help her village through its crisis.
Uchiha Kei is very clear on this, but he did not stop her. As the Shinobi World War continued, Sunagakure suffered betrayal and heavy blows. Being a village attached to the Land of Wind, Sunagakure was already destined to have no path back to the future it once imagined; and because its current survival depends on the Hidden Leaf's support, it means Sunagakure's future will find it hard to obtain genuine independence and autonomy—falling under the Hidden Leaf's control is Sunagakure's outcome.
In fact, as the temporarily elevated Fourth Kazekage, Rasa is utterly confused about the future and has no confidence at all. He cannot lead Sunagakure to defeat the Allied Shinobi Forces, cannot shake off the Hidden Leaf's indirect control, and doesn't even know where Sunagakure should go from here.
After all, betrayed by the daimyo of the Land of Wind, Sunagakure has essentially become like a dog that has lost its master, walking straight into a dead end, proving that the system it once clung to can no longer be maintained.
What's more, since the Hidden Leaf no longer hides its goal to change heaven and earth or the methods to do so, Rasa has realized that perhaps throwing themselves completely to the Hidden Leaf is the best result.
Especially as the Shinobi World War continues, the Hidden Leaf occupies more and more new lands, and the people in those newly occupied territories can see with their own eyes that their days are getting better. As they quickly lose trust in—and even come to hate—their former countries and daimyos, Rasa's feeling grows even stronger. He has even realized that the Hidden Leaf's conquest and reform of the shinobi world is not only in terms of force and institutions, but also in terms of people's livelihood.
There was never much nationalism in the shinobi world to begin with. Although there is some sense of national identity, in the face of the good days brought by the Hidden Leaf's supercharged productivity, who—besides the heavily damaged vested interests—would reject the Hidden Leaf's rule?
Anyway, life is visibly getting better. Commoners who can truly eat their fill at every meal say they can never repay the Hidden Leaf's kindness; loyalty is the only thing they can give back to the Hidden Leaf.
There's nothing to be done—the benefits brought by the great development of productivity are too many. In these planting techniques, Orochimaru and the others have already advanced to the point of combining the power of Wood Release to make grain grow faster and better, and they can also use the power of chakra to nourish the land so that the soil's fertility will not be lost due to the constant growth of crops.
They have even, conversely, used technical means to make barren land fertile; the legendary black soil can even be created on a large scale directly through technology.
Frankly, such agricultural technology—back in his previous world before Uchiha Kei crossed over, seeing it would have made his eyes go blood-red.
It is simply technology that defies the heavens.
With such extreme harvests, the lands under the Hidden Leaf's rule simply do not lack food—there is so much that it cannot be eaten up—directly propelling a great leap in industrialization. The learning scrolls also solve the problems of too many illiterates and a shortage of skilled workers.
Moreover, various aquaculture and animal husbandry industries have also developed to the extreme, and with the further development of fisheries, the problem of eating meat has been solved at rocket-like speed.
Now, under the Hidden Leaf's governance—not to say everywhere, but at least in seventy percent of places—people have already achieved the freedom to eat meat, and the remaining places can also be quickly resolved as sustained development continues.
It can be said that livelihood issues are no longer a problem for the Hidden Leaf now. The Hidden Leaf has truly entered a modern, affluent era in a cheat-like way—a grand spectacle that the shinobi world has not achieved in the past thousand years, and didn't even dare to imagine.
Precisely because of this, the nobles and daimyos are now unimaginably terrified. The Hidden Leaf's approach, this inconceivable speed of development, and the heavy investment and advancement in people's livelihood—governing so that everyone's problems of clothing, food, housing, and transportation are solved, and so that everyone has schooling and money to earn—this is digging out the roots of the old powers, sweeping them completely into the trash heap.
Yet even if the remaining nobles and daimyos are terrified and furious, it's useless, because the Allied Shinobi Forces simply cannot defeat the Hidden Leaf—they are being suppressed by the Hidden Leaf in the truest sense.
What makes those people the most horrified is that the Hidden Leaf has no intention whatsoever of negotiating or agreeing to a ceasefire. They intend to keep the war going, to keep nibbling away at the old powers' territories bit by bit, and to complete a thorough transformation of the shinobi world in this way.
It can be said that when the Hidden Leaf captured all the Tailed Beasts, they no longer hid their purpose. Everything is being done openly, precisely so that all countries and all sides of the shinobi world can see it.
Truly—not even putting on an act anymore.
Frankly, the shock and subversiveness of this conduct are unprecedented. Especially under the Hidden Leaf's new system—when people's livelihoods rapidly improve, when people gain hope and consciously support the Hidden Leaf—the impact on the ninjas of the Allied side is enormous; their worldview suffers a devastating blow.
Can the shinobi world do this? Can shinobi accomplish this? Are we shinobi not only tools, but also truly capable of becoming administrators and making the people's lives better?
Then why can nobles and daimyos continue to exist?
Or rather, is there any need for nobles and daimyos to continue to exist?
It seems... those lofty figures are not necessary for the shinobi world.
Rather, without these people, whether shinobi or ordinary folks, everyone could live better.
Questions, thoughts, ideas.
What arises from this is an unprecedented questioning and rebellious mentality toward that decayed system and traditional thinking that have persisted for millennia.
This—this is what the nobles and daimyos fear the most.
What frightens those nobles and daimyos even more is that this is a supernatural world. If it were a world without magic, nobles and daimyos could still use power to forcibly command their armies and their people to obey them and thus maintain their rule.
But in the shinobi world—this supernatural world—true power is held by shinobi. And when shinobi truly realize the truth that the fist is authority, the good days of nobles and daimyos will come to an end.
Of course, this change will not happen overnight; it still requires some time to brew, and all of this is within the Hidden Leaf's strategic plan.
The unification and reform of the main world's shinobi world will be unstoppable.
