Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

Uchiha Kagezuki provided generous rewards to Konoha's ninjas out of his own pocket.

These riches came from the property of Wind Kingdom officials and nobles. The rebels transferred a large amount of wealth to Shadow Moon's control through the Dawn Organization.

Kagezuki decided to use some of this wealth to improve the welfare of Konoha Village.

Yingyue implemented a high welfare benefits system, increased the wages and living allowances of the ninjas, and provided them with better medical insurance.

Yingyue also implemented a five-day, six-hour work system, allowing the ninjas to have more rest time while ensuring their combat effectiveness.

This system caused a great response in Konoha Village. The quality of life of the ninjas was significantly improved, and their loyalty to Yingyue was further deepened.

These reform measures quickly won the support of the Konoha ninjas. Shadow Moon's leadership style and concrete actions gave the ninjas hope.

Compared with the previous Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shadow Moon's reforms were more direct and effective. The loyalty and support rate of the ninjas increased rapidly, and Shadow Moon's authority was also consolidated.

As Shadow Moon's reforms and appeasement measures were gradually implemented, Konoha Village gradually regained its vitality and stability after the war.

The morale of the ninjas is at an all-time high, and they believe that under the leadership of Shadow Moon, Konoha Village will become more prosperous and powerful.

Yingyue knows very well that future challenges still exist. The mission of the general appointed by the Daimyo of the Fire Country is still waiting to be dealt with. Danzo Shimura and his Root are still potential threats, but now Yingyue has firmly grasped the core power of Konoha Village.

Through a series of rewards, promotions, and welfare reforms, Shadow Moon not only appeased the meritorious ninjas, but also successfully ensured his control over various key departments of the village.

Under his firm control, the future of Konoha Village is moving towards a brighter direction.

At the same time that Uchiha Kagezuki successfully succeeded as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, other major ninja villages also began a new round of power transition, and the situation in the ninja world underwent major changes.

Every ninja village is dealing with its own problems and challenges. New Kages appear one after another, and a new pattern is quietly taking shape in the ninja world.

The Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning fought fiercely with Konoha during the Third Ninja World War, especially on the battlefield of Uchiha Kagezuki, where the Third Raikage Ai personally led his troops to participate in the battle.

However, during the war, the Third Raikage had one arm cut off by Kageyue in a duel between the two. This battle made the Raikage Ai realize that he could no longer continue to lead the village to remain strong.

The third Raikage Ai eventually chose to abdicate from the position of Raikage, ending his career as a Shadow.

He passed the heavy responsibility to his son Ai, and the young ninja inherited his father's will and became the Fourth Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage Ai was known for his powerful Lightning Release Armor and extremely destructive fighting style. After ascending to the throne, he continued the tough stance of the Hidden Cloud Village and vowed to lead the village to rise and take revenge on Konoha, especially the grudge he held against Kagezuki.

Under the leadership of the Fourth Raikage, the Hidden Cloud Village quickly recovered from the scars of war, and began to reorganize its army and strengthen its relations with all parties in the ninja world.

The Fourth Raikage was an extremely action-oriented leader who sought to increase the military strength of the Hidden Cloud Village and remained highly vigilant against other ninja villages, especially Konoha.

At the same time, the situation in the Hidden Mist Village became even more chaotic.

Shortly after the war ended, the conflict between the bloodline families and ordinary ninjas within the Hidden Mist Village intensified sharply.

The bloodline families hold special bloodline limits, but are regarded as symbols of threat and oppression by ordinary ninjas. Internal conflicts eventually lead to a purge of the bloodline families.

During this process, the Hidden Mist Village suddenly announced that the Third Mizukage had died of illness, but no one knew the truth.

It is generally believed that the death of the Third Mizukage was related to this purge, but whether he was assassinated or there was some other hidden secret remains a mystery.

The fourth Mizukage, Karutagi Yagura, succeeded to the throne.

Yagura was born an ordinary ninja, and his rise to power marked the victory of ordinary ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village.

Yagura led the purge of the bloodline families, and the bloodline families such as the Kaguya clan and the Yuki clan were almost wiped out, and the few refugees were displaced.

During this period, the Hidden Mist Village was plunged into deep civil strife, internal killings continued, and the power of the bloodline family was almost wiped out.

A few survivors managed to escape the village, including Kaguya Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan and Shiro of the Yuki clan. They were taken in by Shadow Moon's Aurora Organization in the Whirlpool Country and escaped this brutal political struggle.

Shadow Moon learned about the tragic situation in the Hidden Mist Village from the intelligence he received, and expressed concern for the survivors such as Kaguya Kimimaro and Shiro.

He decided to take these escaped survivors of the bloodline family under his command and provide them with shelter. At the same time, he also obtained internal intelligence of the Hidden Mist Village through them, preparing to use these resources in possible future actions.

The third Tsuchikage of the Iwagakure Village, Ōnoki, is one of the veteran strongmen in the ninja world and has always maintained the stability of the Iwagakure Village.

However, as time went on, Ōnoki gradually felt the crisis of having no successor.

Although Ōnoki's son, Huangdi, performed well among the elite jonin, he did not reach the level of Kage after all.

Ōnoki knew very well that he was too old to lead the Iwagakure Village forever.

However, he was unable to find a suitable successor, which made him more cautious and conservative in decision-making.

The Iwagakure Village's position in the ninja world remains solid, but Ōnoki's worries are growing.

In order to cope with the future crisis of power transition, Ōnoki decided to start training the next generation of strong people in the village and strengthen the military strength of Iwagakure Village to ensure that the village can remain strong even if he abdicates in the future.

Ōnoki was extremely wary of Kagetsuki's strength and wisdom, especially after several duels during the Ninja World War, which made him realize that Konoha would become more difficult to deal with under Kagetsuki's leadership.

Therefore, the Iwagakure Village began to adopt a more low-key and defensive strategy to avoid direct conflict with Konoha.

In the Land of Wind, the Sand Village is experiencing great internal turmoil.

After the war, the rebellion forces within the Wind Country gradually spread, and the Sand Village was once in crisis.

However, the Third Kazekage successfully consolidated his power through strong means.

In the process of suppressing the rebellion, the Third Kazekage seized all power in the Sand Village, especially through the strategy of "nurturing the enemy to protect oneself" against the rebel forces, which enabled him to almost reach a dictatorial position in the Kingdom of Wind.

The Third Kazekage announced that the Sand Village had withdrawn from the Ninja World War and was focusing on internal stability.

The daimyo of the Wind Country was killed because of rebellion, and the Third Kazekage further controlled the political situation in the Wind Country and gained control of a large amount of resources and wealth.

Although the Sand Village has entered a period of peace on the surface, the internal turmoil and power struggles have not subsided.

Despite this, the Sand Village remained relatively stable under the leadership of the Third Kazekage, who ensured the safety and development of the village by controlling all power.

Although the Sand Village has temporarily withdrawn from the front battlefield of the ninja world, the future situation remains to be seen.
