Chapter 257 - Ch257: World Summit

The golden banners of the Fire Country fluttered in the summer wind. Beneath a marble archway adorned with the insignia of the new United Shinobi Federation, dignitaries from across the Elemental Nations gathered. This was no ordinary summit, this was the birth of a new world.

The venue was the Fire Country's capital palace, under the command of Takejiro, Kakashi's loyal subordinate and newly instated Daimyō. Guards from every major nation flanked the white stone courtyard. Chakra barriers pulsed gently overhead, ensuring security.

Inside the great council hall, long tables stretched across polished floors of obsidian and jade. Delegates from Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and minor nations had already arrived.

Some murmured warily among themselves. Others, like Gaara of the Sand, stood in silence, aware of what today might bring.

From Kumo, Raikage A sat with a thunderous scowl. His arms crossed over his chest, his eyes sharp.

"This meeting better not waste my time," he growled though inwardly he was cautious. Wondering what Konoha wants to do, after all they had seen Kakashi's might on the battlefield.

Beside him, Darui, Samui, Karui, and Omoi sat with tense expressions.

From Iwa, the aged Ōnoki floated in silently, supported by a hovering platform. Kurotsuchi, his granddaughter, stood at his right with Akatsuchi and Deidara's cousin Yamatoi on his left.

"This better not be some soft Konoha trick," Ōnoki muttered. "We'll see what this 'Kakashi' plans."

Then the great doors opened.

Hatake Kakashi entered the chamber.

He wore no armor, no mask, just his signature black-and-white cloak, trimmed with gold and marked by the insignia of the Genesis Shinjutsu on his back. His mere presence silenced the room.

Behind him followed a wave of powerful figures, Tsunade, Mei, Konan, Anko, and Kurenai walked with effortless grace, their places undeniable.

At Kakashi's sides marched the newly announced Supreme Commanders: Madara Uchiha, his gaze proud, and Tobirama Senju, expression cool and calculating.

Behind them strode Minato, Hashirama, Naruto, and Sasuke, followed by the Orochimaru Clone, Shikamaru, Shikaku, Itachi, and the rest.

Among them were new additions:

Might Guy, still wearing his green jumpsuit, fist raised. Rock Lee, eyes gleaming with fire. Neji Hyuga, composed and regal.

Temari, Kankuro, and Chōjūrō took seats quietly as instructed.

Once seated at the elevated central podium, Kakashi stood.

"I thank you all for coming," he began. "Some of you were summoned. Others were told little. But all of you are about to see the truth."

He raised his hand.

A black ripple passed through the room, and suddenly, reality shimmered. An illusion as seamless as nature itself took hold.

The truth was revealed.

They saw the Shinju, the first Ten-Tails, the Otsutsuki Clan descending from the stars. Kaguya devouring the chakra fruit, the birth of Hagoromo and Hamura.

They saw how Kaguya was sealed, and how her son split the beast into the nine-tailed beasts. The history of manipulation began. Black Zetsu is altering Uchiha records, rewriting prophecy, and embedding hatred.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi, the "peace" that was merely subjugation.

Gasps broke out. Tension soared.

The vision ended. And the room was silent.

"You're saying… we've all been puppets?" Raikage A stood with clenched fists.

"I always knew history was warped… but not to this scale," Ōnoki grunted, his eyes narrowed.

"Now it makes sense. Why peace never lasted. Why hatred always returned." Gaara, calm as ever, simply said.

Kakashi nodded.

"That is why I called this meeting. That is why the world must change."

He raised a scroll and unfurled it.

"This is the official charter of the United Shinobi Federation."

He let the weight of it settle.

"I will act as the Supreme Overseer, but power will be decentralized. It will be run by five council members:"

He gestured to each.

"Uchiha Sasuke,"

"Nara Shikamaru,"

"Terumi Mei,"

"Minato Namikaze,"

"Gaara,"

Gaara bowed as his name was called, the only one of the five from outside Konoha present. His eyes gleamed.

"I accept," he said. "Kakashi-sama has saved our world. This is the path forward."

"You agreed to this already?! Even your Daimyō?" A stared at Gaara in shock.

Kakashi cut in calmly. "Your Daimyōs were long compromised. They've already been replaced by my spore clones. They serve me now, and through me, the people."

If it were before Kakshi would be cautious, but now he is a god and doesn't care about this. If anyone objects he will gladly send them to the pure land.

"You what?!"The Raikage stood in outrage.

"I am not asking. This has already happened."Kakashi's voice cut through him like steel.

"Even Iwa's council…?"Ōnoki's floating chair jolted slightly.

Kakashi turned slightly. "They serve the people now. Not profit. This is the world's last chance at peace."

No one spoke. Even A sat back, fists shaking, but silent and powerless.

"Let's continue," Kakashi said.

"The Central Shinobi Army shall be our military force. Led by two Supreme Commanders: Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama. Their deputies shall be:"

Naruto Uzumaki, Senju Hashirama, Nara Shikaku, Raikage A, and Ōnoki

Madara smirked

Gasps spread like wildfire.

"Combatants under this army shall include, but are not limited to:"

Might Guy, Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga

Darui, Samui, Karui, Omoi, Chōjūrō, Kurotsuchi, Temari, and Kankuro

"These shinobi will form the vanguard. Protectors of the Federation's will."

"Yosh! Let's protect this new world!" Naruto pumped his fist.

Sasuke crossed his arms silently. But his nod said enough.

"YOUTH SHALL BURN BRIGHT!" Guy stood, voice full of passion.

Kakashi smirked slightly, then continued.

"The Medical Dominion shall be overseen by Tsunade Senju, with Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Karin as her direct deputies."

Tsunade stood proudly.

"We will ensure that this army does not bleed in vain."

Sakura and Karin both bowed.

The next scroll unfurled.

"The Sealing Corps shall be temporarily overseen by Shiho, our most promising seal specialist. I will personally develop talent to support her."

"Y-Yes, Supreme Overseer!"Shiho nodded frantically.

Kakashi chuckled, then turned to the final part.

"We will also establish the Scientific Corps, to ensure we are prepared for all future threats. This division shall be led by none other than the Orochimaru Clone."

"You're giving HIM authority!?" There were murmurs. Jiraiya stood instantly.

"You can't deny my genius, old man." The clone smiled dryly.

Kakashi raised a hand. "This unit will gather and develop genius minds, with full access to federation funds, chakra cores, and materials. Their goal: defend this world through innovation."

Even Ōnoki nodded. "A wise decision."

Kakashi stepped forward and looked at every delegate and shinobi in the hall.

"We have been divided. But no longer."

He raised his hand, and a shining sigil, a circle with five points and the Will of Fire at its center, hovered above him.

"Our motto is simple," Kakashi said. "It will be carved into every village, every scroll, and every blade."

He looked around, and as he spoke, every shinobi, Raikage, Tsuchikage, soldier, legend, felt it in their bones.

"One World."

"One Will."

"One Future."

Applause burst through the chamber. Gaara stood and bowed. Kurotsuchi gave a faint smile. Karui clapped; even Omoi was speechless. Might Guy cried loudly, proud of his best friend. Sasuke closed his eyes in silent respect. Naruto threw his fist in the air.

Even Raikage A… slowly nodded.

"Then let's make it happen."

Kakashi stepped back, letting the symbol of the United Shinobi Federation shine above them all.
