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

If a real battle were to break out, he might not be without a fighting chance.

"They haven't shown themselves. It seems they don't want to expose themselves as long as they don't touch the Rinnegan."

Pretend nothing is wrong and deactivate the "seeing enemies everywhere" debunking.

After waiting for a while, Naraku noticed that Hagoromo Otsutsuki had not appeared, and he began to ponder.

After stopping the acquisition of the Rinnegan, the other party did not reappear.

This change undoubtedly reveals some information about Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"What did you say?"

"What, you still don't know? The Star Kingdom suddenly launched an attack on the Bird Kingdom and the Rain Kingdom, and in just one week, both of these countries were completely annexed by the Star Kingdom."

"What a joke, a week? I admit that the Land of Stars has the ability to annex the Land of Birds and the Land of Rain, but in just one week, do you think the Land of Birds and the Land of Rain will put up any resistance?"

"That's right. Forget about the Land of Birds, the Land of Rain is no ordinary country. The strength of the Rain Village is second only to the five major powers. How could it be so easily annexed?"

"Hanzo of Amegakure is a renowned ninja in the ninja world. Although the Land of Stars is strong, taking him down will not be an easy task."

"It's true. I've received definitive intelligence that the Land of Stars really did take over the Land of Birds and the Land of Rain in just one week. The reason it was so fast is because that man from the Land of Stars personally took action."

"Naraku? This important figure has made a move?"

"That's right. It's said that he personally descended upon Amegakure and conquered the village on the same day."

"It's terrifying that a force like Amegakure was conquered in one fell swoop. No wonder many people now say that this person is the number one ninja in the world."

"Who says otherwise? I estimate that this one is not much different from the God of Shinobi and the Asura of Shinobi back then."

"By suddenly annexing the Bird Country and the Rain Country, the Star Country has now opened up a path to the Fire Country. This move is probably to facilitate the subsequent partitioning of the Fire Country."

“I think it’s more than that. I’ve heard that the Land of Stars is at a disadvantage in the negotiations with Konoha. I think this is a show of force from the Land of Stars to the other four countries.”

"."

The people of the ninja world were originally focused on the five major powers' division of the Land of Fire.

But before the negotiations to divide the Land of Fire could conclude, a new situation arose.

When the Land of Stars suddenly launched an attack and swiftly conquered the Land of Birds and the Land of Rain in just one week, it immediately sparked heated discussions throughout the ninja world.

silence.

The sudden move by the Land of Stars sparked heated discussions throughout the ninja world, while also plunging Iwagakure and Kirigakure into silence.

Taking over the Bird Country and the Rain Country not only represents the expansion of the Star Country's territory, but also fully demonstrates the Star Country's military strength.

After all, the Land of Rain is not a weak country.

Even though outsiders don't know the true situation of the Land of Rain, even during Hanzo's time, the Land of Rain's military strength was second only to the Five Great Nations.

The Land of Rain has now been conquered by the Land of Stars, and even the Land of Birds was conquered in just one week.

With such military power, who wouldn't be alarmed and fearful?

Iwagakure Village is not mentioned.

Regarding Kirigakure Village.

I don't know if he was terrified by Naraku or something else.

Although Obito Uchiha escaped the battle in Amegakure, he did not use Kirigakure to cause trouble again.

After the Land of Stars conquered the Land of Birds and the Land of Rain, the negotiations within Konoha suddenly became peaceful.

Villages like Iwagakure and Kirigakure, which suppressed the Land of Stars, are both very quiet.

Days passed by.

Just as the Star Kingdom completed the takeover of the Bird Kingdom and the Rain Kingdom.

The negotiations, which lasted for a full month, also came to a successful conclusion.

Star City.

"My lord, as you requested, the area we've divided connects with the original Land of Rain. However, because our main objective is to acquire resources and population, the land area is smaller than the other four borders."

Inside the Starry Sky Building office, Xia Rixing, who had just returned, reported the results of the negotiations to Naraku.

The benefits that the Land of Fire can share can be roughly divided into three categories: land, population, and resources.

Each country has its own needs.

It's like the land of wind and the land of water.

The biggest need for these two countries is land.

The Land of Wind wanted to expand its fertile land because of its desert environment.

The Land of Water, on the other hand, wants to advance onto land.

The more land they occupy in the Land of Fire, the more solid their foundation on land becomes.

In order to seize more land, the Land of Wind and the Land of Water made significant concessions on other interests.

The Star Country is different.

In terms of land, the ecological environment improved by the Heavenly Divine Water is superior to that of the Land of Fire, so the interests sought are more focused on resources and population.

Of course, even if the main focus was on resources and population, the land that the Star Kingdom eventually conquered was roughly the size of the Rain Kingdom.

Its location is naturally connected to the original Land of Rain.

After the report was finished, Naraku looked at Xia Rixing across from him, nodded and smiled, "Well done, you've worked hard these past few days."

"You flatter me, sir. It is what I should do. Moreover, if you hadn't taken over the Land of Birds and the Land of Rain with such swift and decisive action, the Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Mist Village wouldn't have been able to settle down so easily," Xia Rixing said modestly.

Naraku smiled slightly: "These are two different things. In any case, you have won substantial benefits for the country in this war, which is a real achievement and deserves to be rewarded."

After saying that, he waved his hand and took an item out of the bronze tower.

The item flew to Xia Rixing's front and was revealed to be a seamless peacock-shaped suit of armor.

"This armor is called the Peacock Armor. Just like the Sharingan with three tomoe I gave you before, it can be bound to you with just a drop of blood."

Naraku introduced the products to Natsumi with a smile.

The Peacock Armor is a newly crafted magic weapon, and it is a mid-grade human-level magic weapon.

In addition to possessing extremely high defense, it also has the effect of increasing speed and strength.

Its properties even match Xia Rixing's perfectly, allowing for a seamless integration of Xia Rixing's signature Peacock Technique and Lava Release.

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

Xia Rixing clearly liked the Peacock Armor that Naraku had bestowed upon her.

Especially the peacock shape of the armor, which made her feel an irresistible sweetness when she looked at Naraku.

The appearance of a peacock.

How could she not understand that the reward of the [Peacock Armor] was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather something that Lord Naraku had meticulously crafted specifically for her?

How could she remain unmoved by such sentiments? She secretly resolved to serve Lord Naraku even more diligently that night.

With the negotiations concluded, in the days that followed, the five major powers tacitly followed the pre-arranged division of assets, each taking what was rightfully theirs.

It is worth mentioning that with the destruction of the Land of Fire, some small countries that were separated from the rest of the country also lost their value.

Especially given the precedent of the Star Country.

In order to make it as convenient as the Land of Stars to take over the land of the Land of Fire.

The Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Water all sent out troops to conquer the small country that was isolated in between, thus perfectly connecting their own lands with the Land of Fire.

Such developments naturally led to significant changes in the landscape of the ninja world.

In addition to the expansion of various countries, the Star Country has also officially replaced the Fire Country as one of the new Five Great Nations.

When a whale falls, everything comes alive!

Having completed the division of the Land of Fire, the five major powers, including the Land of Stars, who reaped enormous benefits, tacitly entered a period of digestion.

night.

"The newly joined ninja clans and ninjas have been settled, and most of the prisoners captured during the war have also surrendered to us."

After several rounds of fierce fighting, Nonou, who was recovering her health, lazily lay on Naraku's body, casually chatting about recent events.

Like the Uchiha clan.

Naraku entrusted the arrangements for the ninja clans such as Inuzuka, Aburame, and Kurama, as well as the common ninjas, who had defected to the Land of Stars, entirely to Nonou.

Nono U did not disappoint him.

In recent days, not only have arrangements been made for those who have come to surrender, but most of the prisoners have also been persuaded to surrender.

"I'm increasingly grateful to have you by my side," Naraku said, stroking Nono's smooth, jade-like back.

Upon hearing this, Nono leaned back and placed her hands on Naraku's chest.

She looked at Naraku tenderly and said softly, "I should be grateful to be by your side!"
