I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Next, Nono shared her initial plans with Naraku.

With Naraku's full support, Nonou couldn't wait to put it into practice.

"Pay close attention to Konoha's movements from now on."

After Nono left, Naraku summoned Karura and gave her some instructions.

With the Uchiha clan's departure, he believed that Konoha would definitely not be peaceful going forward.

"Yes!" Jia Liuluo respectfully accepted the order.

"I never expected that we would join the Star Kingdom. You have no idea, I was completely terrified at first."

"Haha, you're too timid. Don't you believe that since the clan leader and the others joined the Star Kingdom, they must have made all the arrangements? What do we have to worry about?"

"Speaking of which, Star City is really bustling. It feels like Konoha is quite inferior."

"That's right. Although I had heard some things about the Star Kingdom before, I found that it was far more prosperous than I knew after I came here."

"The Land of Stars is now definitely the second largest power after the Five Great Nations. Joining them is really a good thing, at least much better than staying in Konoha."

"Indeed, the village, no, Konoha, has been suppressing our clan for a long time. I've had enough of that kind of life. Anyway, I think it's great to join the Land of Stars now."

"."

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Through Nono's arrangements, an area within Star City was designated as the new clan territory for the Uchiha clan.

At this moment, within the new Uchiha clan territory, Uchiha clan members could be seen everywhere discussing excitedly.

Especially those who were unaware of the situation.

When they first learned that their clan had left Konoha and joined the Land of Stars, many members of the Uchiha clan were very nervous and apprehensive.

But as many days passed...

From top to bottom, the Uchiha clan members discovered that things were much better after joining the Land of Stars than they had imagined.

Just as Nonou and Naraku communicated.

In terms of treatment, such as living conditions, Nonou provided the Uchiha clan with very good preferential treatment.

Meanwhile, after several days of observation.

The Uchiha clan members were all surprised to find that Star City was even more prosperous than Konoha.

Such prosperity effectively boosted morale.

"Zhishui, I heard that you will be joining the military department soon. With your abilities, you will definitely be promoted quickly!"

In a training ground, several elite Uchiha members gathered together and talked.

One of them was exceptionally young, appearing to be only a teenager.

The boy's youthful appearance did not attract the contempt of others; on the contrary, they subtly gathered around him.

"Uh, I did receive a summons from the military, but it's too early for me to be given any important positions. I can only try my best." When someone mentioned his affairs, Uchiha Shisui scratched his head and said.

"You're just too modest. Don't we know your abilities? This isn't Konoha. I believe that with your skills, it's only a matter of time before you receive important recognition." An elite Uchiha patted Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder encouragingly.

Uchiha Shisui smiled but said nothing.

But inside.

Can it be reused?

The clan chief said the same thing.

The Land of Stars is not Konoha; they won't suppress their clan without reason. So as long as they work hard to earn merit, they will be given important positions.

Moreover, as a newly joined force in the Star Kingdom, their race needs to work even harder to achieve better development.

"Naraku-sensei, I never thought I would leave Konoha like you, and even become your subordinate." Uchiha Shisui murmured to himself.

When he first arrived in the Star Kingdom, his feelings were very complicated.

After all, he once regarded protecting his family and village as his life's belief.

But now, his family has chosen to leave Konoha, and he has joined the Land of Stars with his family.

It's impossible to say that there wasn't a sense of loss or disappointment during this process.

but

As he discovered the preferential treatment his family received and the increasingly radiant smiles of his clansmen, he gradually accepted reality.

From now on, what he will protect, besides his clan, will no longer be Konoha, but the Land of Stars.

"According to intelligence gathering, the four major ninja villages have intensified their offensive against Konoha in the past few days."

Inside the Star Tower office.

Sitting in his office chair, Naraku listened thoughtfully to Karuro's report, his fingers lightly tapping the table.

The report contained the information he had given a few days earlier regarding the movements of Konoha.

With Garuro's report, Naraku quickly learned about the situation in Konoha over the past few days.

Aside from Danzo's utterly useless kill order against the Uchiha clan, the biggest activity was concentrated on the battlefield.

Danzo's announcement of the Uchiha clan's defection spread far beyond Konoha, quickly reaching the entire ninja world.

The leaders of Konoha viewed the Uchiha clan as a threat, and the same was true for the other four great ninja villages.

No force can underestimate the Uchiha clan.

Now that the Uchiha clan has left Konoha, wherever they go, the most direct consequence is that Konoha's strength has once again been severely diminished.

This situation undoubtedly gave the four major ninja villages more hope of conquering Konoha.

Therefore, they immediately intensified their offensive against Konoha.

Chapter 242 The Tiger is Born

Like Sunagakure Village.

Chiyo, who was originally stationed in Sunagakure, rushed to the front line to cooperate with Pakura in launching an extremely fierce offensive against Konoha.

In other words, Tsunade was able to lead a portion of the Senju clan to provide support in time; otherwise, Konoha would have definitely suffered severe losses on this battlefield.

The same is true on other battlefields.

The situation was even worse than the battlefield in Sunagakure.

After all, apart from Tsunade, the other three battlefields lacked key top-level combat forces to oversee them.

Therefore, apart from the Sunagakure battlefield where things were slightly better, Konoha suffered a complete defeat in the other three battlefields.

Especially the battlefield in Kirigakure.

On this battlefield, although Tsunade had arranged for Senju clan members to replace the Uchiha clan members from before, Kirigakure's offensive was far more aggressive than before.

Their offensive was so fierce that it was as if they had a life-or-death feud with Konoha, and they were launching a relentless attack without regard for casualties.

"The Senju clan and Kirigakure?"

After Jialuo finished her report, Naraku had a pretty good grasp of the situation.

First is the Senju clan.

He knew that the Senju clan had broken up into smaller groups and scattered throughout Konoha and even the Land of Fire.

The re-erecting of the Senju clan's signboard is clearly Tsunade's doing.

The Senju clan is indeed extraordinary.

Moreover, the strategy of breaking down large projects into smaller ones is also very clever.

This allowed the Senju clan to reproduce better than the Uchiha and Hyuga clans over the years.

However, the development strategy of breaking down the whole into smaller parts also has its drawbacks.

One is people's hearts, and the other is inheritance.

They concealed their surnames and multiplied for many years. The older generation might be okay with it, but the younger generation may not necessarily still believe in the Thousand Hands Clan.

Especially the latter's legacy.

The dispersed reproduction means that most of the new generation of the Senju clan receives a lack of completeness in their lineage.

While the Senju clan possesses exceptional talent, the lack of inheritance will inevitably diminish their potential for growth.

Just as Jia Liuluo just reported.

Although the Senju clan has reappeared in Konoha, so far, apart from their considerable numbers, no particularly outstanding individuals have emerged.

This situation clearly left the Senju clan lacking core competitiveness, and the resurgence of the Senju clan failed to reverse the course of the war.

Next up is Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

From the Land of Water's sudden breach of the ceasefire agreement to the now clearly unusual offensive by the Hidden Mist Village.

This made it difficult for Naraku not to overthink things.

He strongly suspected that the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was likely controlled by Obito Uchiha, just like in the original storyline.
