The ninja world had never been more turbulent.
The story of Namikaze Kirito dominating the entire shinobi world had already spread to every corner of the land. All eyes were now fixed on Konoha, waiting to see what its next move would be.
And soon enough, the answer came.
Konoha issued a declaration to every nation.
The era of the daimyō had come to an end.
From this moment forward, there would no longer be a separation between country and village. The old system would be abolished entirely.
There would be only one unified nation in the shinobi world—
Gensōkyō.
The announcement sent shockwaves across the world.
Since ancient times, every country had been ruled by a daimyō. Even the hidden villages had operated under their authority.
But now, Namikaze Kirito intended to erase that system completely.
It sounded impossible.
Yet reality left no room for resistance.
The remaining daimyōs didn't even have the strength to oppose him. Their power crumbled almost instantly, and any attempt at resistance was swiftly crushed by dispatched shinobi forces.
Among all the nations, only the Land of Iron still held out.
But everyone understood—
It was only a matter of time.
No matter how skilled the samurai were, they could not stand against the combined might of the entire shinobi world. And more importantly, there was no leader within the Land of Iron capable of stabilizing the chaos.
Meanwhile, under the power of Namikaze Kirito's Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique (Rinne Tensei no Jutsu), Kumogakure had already been almost completely restored.
And today—
was a historic day.
The day Gensōkyō was officially established.
The day a new system would be born.
Inside Konoha's massive conference hall, all the leaders of the major villages had gathered.
At the center of the room, Namikaze Kirito sat casually in his seat.
Once everyone had arrived, he gave a simple signal.
The meeting began.
Of course, there was no way someone like him would go through every detail personally.
Instead, he handed everything over to Yakushi Kabuto.
Kabuto stepped forward with a faint smile.
"Everyone, I will be speaking on behalf of Lord Kirito. Please listen carefully."
"First, we formally confirm the establishment of the Gensōkyō Nation."
"The first Head of State will be Lord Namikaze Kirito, who will also serve as the Supreme Commander of all military forces."
A brief pause.
Then he continued.
"Beneath him, twelve Elder seats will be established."
"Our nation will differ from the old system. Gensōkyō will operate under a form of shared governance."
"The Twelve Elders will possess voting rights and will determine the direction of the nation."
"However—"
Kabuto's smile deepened slightly.
"The authority of the Elders cannot surpass that of the Head of State."
"Lord Namikaze Kirito stands above all."
"I believe… no one here has any objections to that?"
Kirito had clearly borrowed the structure of the World Government from One Piece.
Instead of the Five Elders, he planned to establish the Twelve Elders, while placing himself above them all in a position similar to Imu.
For now, the system was only taking its initial shape, but in the future, he intended to refine it even further until the entire world was bound beneath that framework.
It was, in truth, a system perfectly suited for absolute control.
Silence filled the hall.
Objections?
No one dared.
At this point, the entire shinobi world was already under Namikaze Kirito's control. The fact that he was even establishing an Elder system instead of ruling absolutely was already an act of restraint.
Seeing no one speak, Kabuto nodded in satisfaction.
"Next, the Five Great Shinobi Villages will retain their names."
"However, the designation 'of Gensōkyō' will be added."
"For example—Konohagakure of Gensōkyō, Kumogakure of Gensōkyō."
"Each village will appoint a Village Chief."
"For now, candidates will be assigned. In the future, appointments will be determined by the Twelve Elders."
"Next, we address the remnants of the daimyō system."
"All civilian territories will be brought under direct governance. The concept of 'countries' will be dissolved."
"From now on, all regions will be organized as villages under Gensōkyō."
Finally, Kabuto listed the initial Elder candidates:
"Senju Tsunade, Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Fugaku, Yakushi Kabuto, the Fourth Raikage A, Ōnoki, Terumi Mei, Rasa… and others."
"The remaining seats will be filled through selection by the Elders."
At those words, the atmosphere shifted.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Since unification was inevitable, the only thing that mattered now was influence.
Konoha already occupied four seats—that was expected.
But the remaining positions…
Those would be fought for.
Only by securing representation could they retain a voice in the new order.
What no one realized—
was that their thinking had already changed.
Without noticing it, they had already accepted the existence of Gensōkyō.
The identity of the Five Great Villages was slowly fading.
In time, only one nation would remain.
And with it—
a unified will.
The meeting continued for three full days.
After all, integrating the entire shinobi world into a single system required countless details to be finalized.
Thankfully, Namikaze Minato and Yakushi Kabuto handled most of the workload tirelessly.
If everything had been left to Namikaze Kirito…
it would have been unbearable.
With that, Gensōkyō officially stepped onto the world stage.
The organization itself became the direct guard of the Head of State.
Its purpose was simple—
to carry out Namikaze Kirito's will.
As for the former Kage who now held Elder positions, they remained in Konoha—
which had become the capital of Gensōkyō.
Elders were not dispatched to villages.
They governed from the center.
It was not a ceremonial title.
It was true political power.
And for those who had once been enemies—
this was an unimaginable privilege.
No one complained.
If anything, they were grateful.
Because by all rights, as the defeated side…
they should have been stripped of everything.
Yet Namikaze Kirito chose to overlook the past.
That wasn't just generosity.
It was absolute confidence.
After all—
who in this world still had the strength to rebel?
Once the meeting finally ended, Namikaze Kirito returned to his long-awaited "lazy life."
After sitting through days of endless discussions, even he felt exhausted.
Without hesitation, he headed straight for the Senju clan compound.
Tsunade had just been appointed as an Elder, so her schedule had been packed.
But today was different.
With the meeting concluded, Kirito had granted everyone a few days of rest.
That was why Tsunade had returned home.
She had no intention of staying idle.
In fact, she had already prepared money—
After all, with the world unified and a rare break in hand…
how could she not visit the gambling house?
Just as she was about to leave—
she ran into him.
"What are you doing here, brat? Let me tell you—"
Before she could finish—
her words were cut off.
Her lips were suddenly sealed, and she was pushed straight into the room.
There were no outsiders in the Senju compound.
And soon—
her protests dissolved into unrestrained sounds.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Senju compound—
Namikaze Kirito leaned back, quietly admiring the woman in his arms.
Tsunade shot him an annoyed glance.
"What are you staring at? Don't think I don't know what you've been up to."
"That girl from Sunagakure… Kurenai… even Terumi Mei…"
"You're really greedy, aren't you?"
Despite her words, there was no real anger in her voice.
Her heart had long since belonged to him.
But that didn't mean she could easily accept everything.
Kirito only smiled.
"I never tried to hide it from you."
"As for what I'm looking at…"
He leaned closer, voice low.
"What do you think?"
He moved again—
but Tsunade immediately reached out and stopped him.
