Chapter 415: The Signal of Ninja Unification 1

At this moment, the projection of the intelligent brain appeared in front of the two again, and said while the iron was hot: "My two Kages, now that you have become the top leaders of the United Front, the benefits you will enjoy in the future will be far more than these. We have prepared a series of advanced medical and living services for senior leaders to ensure that you can maintain the best condition under any circumstances. Not only that, we also provide personalized exclusive recuperation plans to help you delay aging and improve your physical functions, so that you can contribute to the future of the ninja world for a longer period of time."

After hearing what the intelligent computer said, Ohnoki and Mei Terumi could not help but imagine those beautiful scenes in their hearts. Ohnoki seemed to have a picture of himself standing at the top of the ninja world again. He was no longer the old and weak Tsuchikage, but a strong man who regained power and authority. He could continue to lead the Hidden Rock Village, and even the entire ninja world, to a more glorious future.

Mei Terumi was immersed in the fantasy of her own appearance and power. She seemed to see herself still maintaining her youthful beauty. With this charm and wisdom, she would continue to control the Hidden Mist Village and even play a more important role in the entire ninja world. Her eyes were shining with longing and ambition, and she was obviously full of expectations for the future.

The two looked at each other, with a hint of tacit understanding and determination in their eyes. They both understood that becoming the top leaders of the United Front meant that they would have a broader stage and unlimited possibilities, and all of this was exactly what they had always longed for.

......

After the New Konoha's United Front Plan was officially launched, the news department quickly began comprehensive publicity and operations. Through various high-tech means and extensive communication networks, this news quickly spread throughout the ninja world. Various countries and ninja villages began to receive this heavy information, and the entire ninja world immediately set off an unprecedented discussion and shock.

As soon as the news spread among the ninjas of New Konoha, it immediately sparked a heated discussion. Naruto and his friends gathered together, nervously analyzing the significance of the united front. Sakura frowned and asked in confusion: "Does this mean that our Konoha will no longer be independent, but will become part of a larger country? Then how will our freedom and traditions be protected? There should be some characteristics that will be retained, right?"

Sasuke calmly analyzed: "If unification can bring more powerful power and resources, it may be a good thing. The infighting between ninjas can be reduced, and we can focus on fighting greater threats. But we must also be vigilant about whether we will lose control of our own destiny."

Other ninjas also expressed their opinions, some were worried, some were expectant, but no matter what, the news of the united front had already caused waves in their hearts.

In the Sand Village, the ninjas gathered outside Gaara's office, waiting for new orders. The young ninjas in the village were talking about it, and a young ninja asked, "Lord Gaara has joined the united front. What does this mean for our Sand Village? Will we be ruled by Konoha Village?"

Another older ninja consoled them, "It's not necessarily a bad thing. After joining the united front, our resources will be more abundant and the villagers' lives will be better. Moreover, Lord Gaara will definitely strive for the best interests for us."

Chiyo watched this scene and smiled slightly.

In Kirigakure, Master Yuan summoned the village's top leaders. Facing the news of the united front, he remained unusually calm. He looked at everyone and said with a smile, "This is a new beginning. Although Kirigakure will merge with other villages, we still have the opportunity to preserve our own culture and traditions. As long as we unite as one, we will definitely be able to occupy a place in the new order."

However, in the Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning, the reaction was completely different. The Fourth Raikage Ai slammed the table, his face livid, and angrily said to his subordinates: "The New Konoha is trying to rule the entire ninja world, we must not let them succeed! We in the Land of Lightning have powerful ninjas and independent wills, and we will never succumb to anyone!"

Killer Bee, who finally woke up, frowned and said thoughtfully: "We have always relied on our own strength to defend our homeland. We must not easily give up our sovereignty. We must find a way to unite with the Iron Kingdom and other forces that are dissatisfied with New Konoha."

In the Land of Lightning, many ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village also resisted the idea of ​​a united front, preferring to believe in their own strength rather than rely on an organization they could not fully trust.

Meanwhile, in the Iron Country, the reaction of the people was more complicated. The Iron Country has always regarded itself as a neutral country and has a reserved attitude towards the disputes in the ninja world. However, as the news of the new Konoha United Front came, the people of the Iron Country began to discuss it fiercely in private.

In a tavern, several warriors from the Iron Country were quietly communicating. A young warrior whispered, "Have you heard? New Konoha wants to integrate the entire ninja world into one country. They even want us, the Iron Country, to join."

Another older warrior shook his head and sighed, "This may not be a good thing for us. We, the Iron Country, have always maintained an independent and neutral position. If we join the united front, I'm afraid our independence will be weakened."

However, some citizens hold different views on this. A young businessman interjected: "If we can obtain more resources and trade opportunities by joining the United Front, it may not be a bad thing for our business."

The citizens of the Iron Country appeared deeply divided during the discussion. On the one hand, they cherished the independence of their country, but on the other hand, they worried that they would not be able to adapt to the new order under the new circumstances.

In the Shogun's mansion of the Iron Country, Mifune sat alone in a spacious and quaint office, frowning, revealing a rare annoyance. There were several letters on his desk, the most prominent of which was an invitation letter from New Konoha, inviting the Iron Country to join the united front. The other letter was written by the Raikage of the Lightning Country himself, and the content involved establishing a military alliance to resist the expansion of New Konoha.

Mifune sighed softly, his eyes resting on the letter on the table, feeling extremely entangled and conflicted. He knew that the current ninja world was at the forefront of drastic changes, and the Iron Kingdom, as a neutral country with the spirit of Bushido at its core, always maintained a position of not participating in disputes between ninja villages. However, as the united front of New Konoha gradually took shape, the independence and neutrality of the Iron Kingdom were also faced with unprecedented challenges.

"The invitation from Shinkonoha...the united front they proposed seems to be to deal with future global crises, but in fact it is an attempt to unify the entire ninja world into a country dominated by them." Mifune's voice was low and solemn. He knew that this was not just a simple invitation, but a test of the Iron Country's position. If the invitation was accepted, the neutrality of the Iron Country would no longer exist, and it might even lose its independence in the future world order.

Mifune slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the mountains in the distance thoughtfully. He understood that the strength and technological power of New Konoha had surpassed the scope of traditional ninjutsu and had become an existence that could not be ignored. If it refused to join, would the Iron Country be able to cope with future changes alone? The letter from Raikage Ai further exacerbated his worries. In the letter, Raikage clearly stated that he hoped that the Iron Country could form a military alliance with the Lightning Country to jointly resist the expansion of New Konoha.

"The Raikage's proposal... although it seems to be for the protection of our common interests, it is actually dragging us down." Mifune knew that the Raikage was known for his tough attitude, but he was also a realist who knew the strength and danger of New Konoha. He invited the Iron Kingdom to form an alliance, obviously hoping to check and balance New Konoha by uniting other forces to avoid being annexed by it.

However, Mifune also has his own concerns about the Raikage's proposal. The neutral position of the Iron Country has always been not to participate in the fight between ninjas. If the Raikage's proposal is accepted, the Iron Country will be involved in this dispute that affects the entire ninja world, and the samurai spirit and independence of the Iron Country will be challenged unprecedentedly.

Mifune's eyes became deep, he shook his head gently, thinking silently in his heart: "The Iron Country has always regarded itself as neutral and has not participated in any disputes between ninja villages. Our position has always been independent and not controlled by any external forces. But the current situation has exceeded our original judgment. Whether joining the united front or forming an alliance with the Lightning Country, it will have a profound impact on the future of the Iron Country."

He knew that the independence of the Iron Country was particularly important in this great change. However, it was precisely because of this independence that the Iron Country was particularly isolated in the current situation. Faced with the strong expansion of New Konoha and the solicitation of the Raikage, Mifune fell into deep thought.

"Perhaps..." Mifune's thoughts gradually became clear. He wondered whether he should actively seek dialogue and cooperation with other countries while maintaining neutrality, neither completely succumbing to the united front of New Konoha nor rashly getting involved in the military alliance of the Kingdom of Lightning. He hoped to use diplomatic means to gain a more favorable situation for the Kingdom of Iron and retain its independence and autonomy.

Mifune walked back to the table, picked up the letter from the Raikage, read it carefully, and then put it aside. He had made a decision in his heart. Although the road ahead was full of thorns, he would stick to the independence of the Iron Country and do his best to maintain peace and stability in the ninja world. He decided to further discuss the possibility of an alliance with the Raikage, but he would never easily let the Iron Country get involved in this complicated dispute.

In the core control center of New Konoha, Nathan Hawke was standing in front of a huge holographic projection screen, his eyes calm and sharp. The screen displayed intelligence analysis of various countries, among which the intelligence of the Iron Nation was specially marked. The projection of the intelligent computer slowly appeared beside Nathan Hawke, and its virtual image appeared particularly calm and steady in the air.

"Boss, according to our intelligence analysis, the Iron Country's general Mifune will not easily join the United Front." The voice of the intelligent computer was as clear and organized as ever, and its projection showed the detailed data and analysis report of the Iron Country in the air. "Mifune has always been neutral and independent as his core position. He attaches great importance to the independence and traditional samurai spirit of the Iron Country. Joining the United Front means that the Iron Country must give up this independence, which is contrary to Mifune's beliefs."

Nathan Hawke nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the screen, as if he was thinking about something. The intelligent computer continued, "However, the people of the Iron Country are not monolithic. Our survey shows that with the widespread spread of the technology and social progress of New Konoha in various countries, the people of the Iron Country have begun to feel the strong impact from the outside world. Especially the younger generation, they are full of yearning for a higher level of quality of life, more advanced technology and a wider world."

A series of data and charts began to appear on the screen, showing the change in the attitude of the people of the Iron Country towards New Konoha. The voice of the intelligent computer became deeper: "According to our prediction, if the will of the people of the Iron Country is strong enough, they are likely to push Mifune to make the final decision. The expectations of the people will become a force that cannot be ignored, gradually affecting Mifune's judgment, and even forcing him to choose to join the united front, even if this goes against his usual position."

The corners of Nathan Hawke's mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Public opinion is a huge force. Once it is aroused, it will promote social change and progress. The people of the Iron Country are attracted by the future presented by the New Konoha, and this attraction will become an important lever to pry the decision-making of the Iron Country.

"The will of the people..." Nathan Hawke whispered to himself, his tone revealing a deep thought. He turned around and looked at the intelligent computer, his eyes flashing with confidence, "Continue to promote our propaganda, so that the people of the Iron Country can more clearly understand the benefits of joining the united front. As long as the power of public opinion is strong enough, Mifune will eventually be forced to make the right choice."

The intelligent computer nodded slightly, indicating that it understood: "Understood, Boss. I will continue to promote this work and ensure that the people of the Iron Country can feel the hope and light brought by the united front in the days to come."

As the projection of the intelligent computer slowly disappeared, Nathan Hawke stood in the control center with a deep gaze, as if he had seen the future situation. He understood that it was only a matter of time before the Iron Country joined, and the united front of New Konoha would gradually expand under his leadership and eventually achieve the unification of the entire ninja world.
