Naruto: The Way of the Great Lord
Chapter 59 Chunin Exam Approach

While Ichizo's tacit conquest moves forward in the Land of Snow, things get busy. A few weeks ago an unknown power came and completely took control of the country, after which many people would disappear randomly without a trace. Children, Adults, and Seniors alike have nothing to avoid mass abductions, What they do not know is a terrifying force is being awakened.

Jutsu Re-Energy. This technique takes the souls of deceased individuals and binds them to a surviving host to recover them as they were alive to listen to their summoning orders.

The ranks they gathered would cause the downfall of the 5 shinobi nations!

First to Third Kage of the Fatherland, Lightning, Earth, and Wind. The shinobi of this period cannot be compared with their predecessors who fought in various battles to achieve safety and prosperity for their respective nations, Madara became more twisted and crazy than ever, even his brothers who died during the wartime were among the revived. The Shinobi who had not set foot on the battlefield for decades once again "breathed" the morning air.

Clans killed during the chaos were also present such as Sato of the Phoenix Style, Ishii of the Acid Style, Anjerika with their Meikyuugan, and Ohno of the Gravitational Force.

These clans were the powerhouses of the War period, each specializing in a unique fighting style, this was the final game of Madara. If the world did not allow him to secretly cast a boundless tsukuyomi, he would only secure the necessary materials by force.

"Zetsu."

"Yes." Yeah."

"We need to take my eyes off that Nagato boy, we should also get a tailed beast and it just so happens that they are both in the same place. However, you said 5 Shinobi nati…. No 6 Shinobi Nation took turns guarding the beast and Nagato was in the Capital with that annoying Zenkichi boy, so, we need to make a little mess first."Madara beckoned to someone with a wave of his hand, which appeared to be a short man with a similar appearance to Madara who was wearing the standard outfit of the Battle of Uchiha. His eyes display sharingan with all its splendor with black color replacing the white sclera of the eyes.

"What do you need Nii-san for?"

"Izuna, in 1 week you'll be heading to the Night Land when the 6 Kages gather to deliver a message. Tell them that I, Madara Uchiha, have declared war on the Shinobi Nation!"

So far everything has gone well the Land of Volcanoes, Swamps, Mountains, Fantasy, Valleys, Wood, Neck, and of course Satan has become one great nation. Step by step, Ichizo's plans come to fruition, with the region growing, as well as the population. From the original 3 million to a surprising 76 million. The past few weeks had basically strengthened His Majesty's control over the giant he created to ensure the safety of the people and the empire. The laws are easily accepted by people because they do not need to change their current lifestyle, even in many places they were eager to accept the new ruler because the bandits and criminals that were plaguing the area had been removed. Children in rural areas are sent to school to receive a proper education, Sitting in his office, Ichizo reviews everything applied when Diasuke enters to update Chunin's exam status.

"Kage Leaves, Clouds, Mist, Stones, and Sand all agreed.243 participants came from their countries collectively, 7,186 came from within the Empire. The shinobi training ground in the Land - excuse me Your Majesty, in Demon Prefecture has been renovated to accommodate all the participants and their families. We have allocated 10,000 Security Personnel to ensure the safety of Yourself, Mr. Kage, and areas other than His Majesty's Royal Guards. 8 out of 13 Jokyunin will also attend , in an emergency the Medical Division has allocated 300 of its best personnel. All other areas requiring S-Class supervision will be handled by the remaining Jokyunin. A total of 1.9 Billion Zen (1 zen \= 1 Dollar) was spent to achieve this which is within budget for this event."

Ichizo put his hand on his chin while thinking about the burden of a ruler. But this burden is necessary to ensure the safety of his way of life."With me there, everything else was just a formality for the other Kages as well as a way to show the wealth and power of our country to further instill the gap between countries in their heads. The alliance we have between countries is one that is forced it may or may not be the desired outcome for some people in their villages. Keep me informed if there's any change."

"Yes, Master!"

As Diasuke walks out, Ichizo contemplates Naruto's storyline then he remembers he now has 2 new siblings he never met. He decided that it was time to take a break from work to see his family. After summoning Itachi and Shisui, he brought the two of them to the Hidden Leaf.

"This place hasn't changed a bit."

Shisui said as he took a deep breath, except for the Fourth Hokage's face on the rock mountain, everything looked the same as it was 7 years ago. In fact, after a long time in the Land of the Night and accustomed to the technology that is practically everywhere it feels like stepping into the past.To not attract too much attention Ichizo, he said, Itachi and Shisui all wore the simple Shinobi attribute of Hidden Darkness with Ichizo having the Night Symbol engraved on his bulletproof to display his status as a Yorukage. Not many people had seen Yorukage or the Empire's leader before, so this little detail shouldn't give rise to too many views.

As they walked through the village observing all the sights and sounds, they finally arrived at the Uchiha Complex. After defeating Danzo, the Uchiha looked much more excited as their faces showed a level of confidence never seen before. The children looked very happy playing while the elderly members chatted and played various board games. It was overall a very friendly environment that allowed proper emotional support for both young and old Uchiha.

Shisui parted from the group to go home while Itachi and Ichizo saw their mother walking back with two toddlers behind her."MOMMY!" The Twins shouted as they walked towards their mother, Mikoto turned to look at her son Itachi and a man she could not recognize. However based on the way he smiled he resembled the more mature Itachi.

"Itachi? Ichizo?"
