Then, a few days later, the entire ninja world was shocked to discover that the war seemed to have stopped.

When most forces agreed to let Yi Shuihan act as the war referee, the entire ninja world was in an uproar. This was too amazing; they said they couldn't understand what was going on in this world at all.

Chapter 480, Akatsuki is about to go to war with Konoha

Yi Shuihan's series of major deeds have completely altered the entire Naruto series, causing the main storyline to deviate drastically.

However, who cares about the so-called main storyline? Yi Shuihan might care, but his concern is extremely limited, especially after he went to another parallel ninja world and realized that there might be countless Naruto worlds, which made his thoughts even more carefree.

With a war referee, will the war still continue?

The answer is yes, war is still necessary, but because of Yi Shuihan's presence, surprise attacks are no longer possible. Both sides must know that war is coming and that Yi Shuihan is present before engaging in combat.

At first, some people had wishful thinking, thinking that as long as they weren't discovered, everything would be fine. But as it turned out, they were completely overthinking it. How could a war go undetected?

Knowing that someone had broken his rules, Yi Shuihan didn't actually do anything. He simply announced that firearms would not be provided to them, and that other forces could attack at will without his supervision. Then, the force that broke the rules collapsed completely.

In an effort to curry favor with Yi Shuihan, every force with even a modicum of fighting power went to play around with that force that had broken the rules.

The war, which was conducted under Yi Shuihan's leadership, was somewhat frustrating, but as time went on, people found that it was not bad. The ninja world became much more stable as a result. At least people did not have to fear the consequences of the war. Because of the transparency of the war, ordinary people who knew they were going to be involved fled early.

Time passed, and several months went by again. The two Death Gods in Yi Shuihan's hands had also undergone another transformation. At the beginning, he could only feel a trace of danger, but now it was extremely dangerous. He even dared to say that most people at the Bronze level would perish because of them. They had truly become one of his trump cards.

The war among ordinary people continues, while the war among ninjas also begins to break out. The Akatsuki organization finally managed to gather the chakra of the eight tailed beasts using an unknown method, and even the Eight-Tails was not spared.

The Akatsuki organization stirred up conflict between martial arts practitioners and ninjas, and the emergence of firearms effectively restrained the strength of many ninjas, giving them an opportunity to exploit the situation.

Unfortunately, Konoha still stood firm in this chaotic world. The existence of Yi Shuihan and the strong foundation of Konoha made no one dare to underestimate Konoha.

Previously, Konoha was subconsciously ignored, but now only the Nine-Tails remains in Konoha. Once the last tailed beast is gathered, the Eye of the Moon Plan can be launched.

Even if Obito Uchiha and Zetsu were wary of Konoha at this point, they had no choice but to act, otherwise their plan would not have been able to succeed.

Of course, it was fortunate that they didn't directly confront Yi Shuihan, otherwise they might have been in despair. However, if they obtained the Nine-Tails' chakra, they would still have some options. As long as they didn't directly clash with Yi Shuihan, they weren't afraid of the others.

"Uchiha Madara is still alive and is about to launch a war against Konoha!" This news, which had been circulating for some time, was presented with great certainty.

At first, no one believed it, but the undeniable facts later forced them to accept it.

Compared to the 10 White Zetsu in the original work, this time there are a total of 30 White Zetsu troops, which is three times the number in the original work, and they are White Zetsu troops equipped with firearms.

With this kind of power, plus the complete Akatsuki and Madara Uchiha before him, their combat strength is comparable to, or even slightly stronger than, that of the characters in the original work.

Originally, facing such a powerful Uchiha Madara, as well as the combined forces of Akatsuki and Zetsu, the five great ninja villages should have united to fight against them. After all, everyone knew their intentions; losing the Nine-Tails would also bring disaster to the others.

Unfortunately, the other four countries remained strangely silent this time, as if they hadn't seen anything. Although they still gathered a large number of ninja troops, they showed no intention of helping.

Ultimately, it stems from jealousy of Konoha and overconfidence in their current strength. The invention of firearms and the continuous production of ninjas from hot springs have not only strengthened their military power but also given them an unusual sense of confidence that they can achieve their desired results even without working together.

Wouldn't it be better to wait until both Konoha and Madara Uchiha are severely weakened before cleaning up the mess together? As for whether the Nine-Tails might fall into the hands of the enemy, they expressed their trust in Konoha and said they would definitely protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"How exactly did Madara Uchiha revive? Was it Nagato's Samsara technique or the Reincarnation of the Earth?" When Yi Shuihan first heard about Madara Uchiha's appearance, he thought that Madara Uchiha might be Obito Uchiha in disguise. However, subsequent information confirmed that Madara Uchiha was definitely the real deal, which is why he was somewhat puzzled.

If Nagato were to revive Madara Uchiha, he would definitely die. The current information is that he is not dead, so this possibility has been greatly reduced. However, considering that old man Zetsu might have other ways to prolong Nagato's life, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out.

As for the second possibility, it's not impossible that Madara Uchiha was resurrected through the Reanimation Jutsu. Zetsu is an ancient relic, so it's quite possible that he would know this technique.

"Well, thinking about it all won't help. I'll just wait for them to come knocking on my door and see for myself. Besides, it's time to leave this world. I'll leave after this war is over."

Having made up his mind, Yi Shuihan began to relax again. Compared to the tense atmosphere outside, his hot spring resort seemed to be in a completely different world.

"Boss, someone from the Akatsuki is here."

"Oh, who is it? What brings you here? Are you telling me not to get involved in this war?"

"She's a beautiful woman."

"A woman? Could it be her?"

Following Might Guy, Yi Shuihan indeed met Konan, the only female member of the Akatsuki organization, in the reception room.

Upon seeing Yi Shuihan, Xiao Nan remained cold and aloof, then coldly uttered, "In three days, we will go to war with Konoha. You will be the referee of the war."

"A referee in a war?"

I see. In that case, I can indeed stay out of this matter. But since I didn't intend to get involved anyway, it doesn't matter.

"Is this feasible? Have you notified Konoha yet?"

"Please go and inform them that the exact time and place are..."

Chapter 481, The Attitude of Asking for Help

"It's so troublesome, I suddenly don't want to be the referee or relay the message."

After listening to Xiao Nan's words, Yi Shuihan suddenly spoke up.

Clearly, this reaction was unexpected by Xiao Nan, and she was stunned for a full three seconds.

Indeed, beautiful women always have a unique charm, no matter what expression they have.

Yi Shuihan did it on purpose. If Xiao Nan succeeded without any trouble, it would be too easy for her!

Now it's not me who needs her help, it's her who needs me. Her cold expression makes it seem like I owe her something, that won't do.

Three seconds later, seeing Yi Shuihan's ambiguous smile, Xiao Nan felt a surge of inexplicable anger. She realized that Yi Shuihan was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Xiao Nan isn't the type to be good at talking; she wears her heart on her sleeve. Her usual cold expression is simply a way to prevent others from seeing what she's thinking.

It's just that the long-term pretense and the accumulated pressure, which couldn't be released, now seem to be unable to keep up the act in front of Yi Shuihan any longer.

She looked at Yi Shuihan with a face full of shame and anger, "What exactly do you want? I'll just go and inform them myself."

"Why are you suddenly getting angry? You need to think about your situation. When you ask for help, you should have the right attitude. Otherwise, I might just side with Konoha. Besides, my wife is from Konoha, and Konoha was founded by her grandfather. I have no reason to ignore it! Thinking about it this way, I really shouldn't have been the referee. Maybe I should have kept you in check and weakened your strength."

Yi Shuihan's words caused Xiao Nan's expression to change drastically. Her body suddenly floated in the air, and sheets of white paper floated up, indicating that she had entered a battle state.

"Uh, I was just joking. Why such a big reaction? And if I really wanted to, do you think you could resist?"

Yi Shuihan sat there, showing no sign of making a move.

Looking at Yi Shuihan's face, Xiao Nan's eyes flickered, but in the end she gave up the idea of ​​fighting to the death. Even she had to admit that what Yi Shuihan said made a lot of sense.

Konan's strength isn't actually that great. She only has one Paper Release technique, making her attacks very limited. If she didn't have her massive amount of explosive tags, her fighting power would only be that of an ordinary Kage, perhaps slightly stronger than that.

"When asking someone for a favor, bowing, smiling, and exposing your body seems to be common sense. I remember some guy telling me that."

He pretended to be thinking, but his eyes were actually fixed on Xiao Nan.

This tone shouldn't cause any problems, right?

Xiao Nan's eyes showed obvious disgust, and her expression changed. She originally wanted to leave Yi Shuihan, that lecherous wolf, but when she thought of Changmen, she hesitated.

Hmph, just consider it an act for the dogs.

"Is this alright now?"

Just like the standard pose in Yi Shuihan's imagination, it looks really tempting. It has to be said that Xiao Nan is actually quite well-endowed, it's just that it's not usually noticeable.

Receiving no response for a long time, Xiao Nan's face grew increasingly red, on the verge of exploding.

"Uh, I'm sorry, you're so beautiful that I got a little lost in looking at you."

Just before Xiao Nan was about to lose her senses, Yi Shuihan suddenly sat up straight and said with a sincere expression.

It has to be said that Yi Shuihan's honesty gave Xiao Nan a strange feeling. She knew that Yi Shuihan was beautiful, but no one had ever said it so bluntly in front of her before. This was the first time she had been praised like this to her face.

"Well, I know what you're talking about, and I've agreed to pass on the message. Dinner's about to start, so I won't keep you any longer. You can leave anytime."

The sudden change in style caught Xiao Nan off guard, but when she followed Yi Shuihan's gaze and saw the person whose figure even she was a little jealous of, she understood everything.

So it was my wife who came back. No wonder.

At this moment, Xiao Nan felt a strange sensation, a sensation she had never experienced before, and she was unaware of what it was.

In short, the next moment Xiao Nan said something that even she hadn't expected.

"You want to dump me after you've used me? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

This time, it was Yi Shuihan's turn to be dumbfounded. Looking at Xiao Nan, who was also somewhat dazed, Yi Shuihan felt a chill run down his spine.

What do you mean by "played with you"? That's very ambiguous, okay? If I did it, I would definitely admit it, but if it was just teasing you a bit, I'm not taking the blame for that!

I never would have guessed! Xiao Nan is actually a scheming woman, isn't she doing this on purpose?

"Yi Shui Han"

Although Tsunade had a smile on her face, and even the way she called out to Yi Shuihan sounded soft and tender, Yi Shuihan could see through the facts to the terrible truth hidden beneath.

This is a classic case of first suppressing and then elevating; the gentler they seem at this moment, the angrier they are!

"Um, I really didn't do it," he tried to explain, but found that Tsunade wouldn't listen at all. Then, a thought flashed through his mind and he shouted, "She was sent by Akatsuki to declare war on Konoha."

"The Akatsuki? Declaring war on Konoha?"

If the Akatsuki organization wasn't enough to clear Yi Shuihan of suspicion, then the subsequent war with Konoha completely brought Tsunade, who had been somewhat hot-headed, to her senses.

Once she regained her senses, Tsunade realized she had overreacted. She knew Yi Shuihan's character all too well; it was just that she cared too much about him, and Konan's tone of voice, which sounded so real as if she had been abandoned, had made her lose her temper for a brief moment.

Tsunade looked at Konan, especially at the Akatsuki uniform she was wearing, and instantly believed Yi Shuihan's words. Her expression darkened, and an invisible aura erupted, locking onto Konan.

Faced with Tsunade's imposing aura, Konan's face paled, clearly unable to withstand it. However, she still looked firmly at Tsunade without flinching.

"I didn't expect the Akatsuki to have a female powerhouse like you. Tell me, when and where do you plan to start a war against Konoha?"

"Ask him about the time and place yourself. I'm leaving now."

Xiao Nan pointed at Yi Shuihan, and then her whole body turned into paper and flew away.

"Did they run away?"

Chapter 482, Konoha will definitely win.

After learning the time and place from Yi Shuihan, Tsunade left immediately. She seemed quite anxious. If it were anything else, she could let it go, but this time, Madara Uchiha's momentum was immense and could indeed threaten Konoha.

Tsunade knew that if she asked Yi Shuihan for help, there was a high chance he would help her. However, when she learned that Yi Shuihan was participating in the war as a referee, she didn't say anything.

Compared to Konoha, her love for Yi Shuihan was actually greater. Konoha was indeed important, but it was insignificant compared to Yi Shuihan's reputation. Not to mention that Konoha might not necessarily lose this time, even if it did, as long as she was there, Konoha could still be preserved. At worst, they could ask Yi Shuihan for help again.

Furthermore, Tsunade is truly confident in Konoha's current strength. The village is teeming with powerful figures, with the Third and Fourth Hokage still alive, and numerous Kage-level shinobi emerging. Established shinobi like Kakashi and Might Guy are formidable figures, and in a direct confrontation, their chances of victory are probably even greater.

The news of the war, personally announced by Tsunade, was immediately taken seriously. Coupled with previous rumors, Konoha quickly prepared for a full-scale war.

More than 100 Kage-level figures appeared at the war mobilization meeting, which is considered to be nearly 90% of their strength. It would scare people to death if word got out.

If it were the original story, so many Kage-level ninjas could easily sweep across the entire ninja world. Even in this world, they would still be a force to be reckoned with, and if used well, they could even unify the entire ninja world.

Three days later, the war that the entire ninja world had been watching was about to begin on a plain.

Besides the Konoha and Akatsuki sides, countless others came to watch the battle, including the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who brought an army of 30.

The two sides in the battle, Konoha, had 1 Jonin, 3 Chunin, and none Genin, not counting Kage-level ninja.

Konoha's opponent is the Akatsuki organization plus 30 White Zetsu.

In terms of numbers, Akatsuki had a huge advantage, but in terms of momentum, the two sides were evenly matched.

"Before the fight begins, do either of you have anything to say? You have 10 minutes for your verbal sparring."

Yi Shuihan stood in the very center of the battlefield, watched by hundreds of thousands of spectators, yet he felt no tension whatsoever.

"Is he Yi Shuihan?"

Madara Uchiha looked at Yi Shuihan with great curiosity. Ever since he was resurrected, he had been hearing legends about Yi Shuihan. He couldn't help but pay attention to this legendary figure whose strength surpassed his and Hashirama's, who founded the martial arts lineage, and who possessed various strange powers.

Actually, deep down, Madara Uchiha really wanted to fight Yi Shuihan. He didn't think he was inferior to Yi Shuihan. However, thinking of his dream, and just in case, he ultimately listened to Zetsu's advice and didn't go looking for trouble with Yi Shuihan.

"I can't sense any aura from him, but he's definitely not an ordinary person."

In this era where Hashirama Senju is dead, Madara Uchiha considers himself superior to everyone in the world. No matter how outstanding or famous others are, in his mind they are just so-so, beings that can be dealt with at will. However, upon seeing Yi Shuihan, he felt for the first time that perhaps this man could be a worthy opponent.

"Uchiha Madara, I never expected it to actually be you."

The Third Hokage looked at Madara Uchiha with a touch of emotion in his voice and a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Third Hokage? You're too old. What are you doing here? If you give up resisting and hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, I promise I won't lay a hand on you for Hashirama's sake."

Completely disregarding the Third Hokage, Madara Uchiha stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of invincibility and loneliness.

"Madara, even if Grandpa is no longer here, Konoha is not a place you can touch today."

Tsunade shouted loudly, her expression quite excited. When she was young, she had heard her grandfather talk about his complicated feelings for Uchiha Madara many times. In her opinion, Uchiha Madara was an ungrateful guy. Her grandfather was so sincere to him, but he was ambitious and wanted to destroy Konoha. Now he even wanted to rule the ninja world.

"Hashirama's granddaughter, it's been so long, and you're still so naive. Do you really think these people can stop me?"

He said dismissively that the more than one hundred Kage-level ninjas from Konoha had indeed surprised him, but that was all. His strength had surpassed the Kage level, and he believed that if he were to be a little more serious, those one hundred Kage-level ninjas wouldn't be enough for him to kill.

"Such arrogance! But that's more like the legendary Uchiha Madara!"
