Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

While announcing his abdication, the Third Kazekage appointed his apprentice Rasa to succeed the Fourth Kazekage.

Luo Sha is his extremely trusted disciple. Not only does he possess powerful strength, but he can also inherit the political wisdom of the Third Kazekage.

After Rasa succeeded to the throne, he continued to implement the shogunate system that was beneficial to the Sand Village, ensuring the Sand Village's actual control over the Wind Country.

Although on the surface the Daimyo of the Wind Country has regained some power, in reality, the Sand Village still holds the real power of the country.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was satisfied with the Third Kazekage's concession, and the Fourth Raikage Ai also stopped preparations for war.

Although Ai was still skeptical of the Sand Village, after the power of the Wind Kingdom returned to the daimyo, he no longer had an excuse to start a war immediately.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning was satisfied with the Third Kazekage's concession, and the Fourth Raikage Ai also stopped preparations for war.

Although Ai was still skeptical of the Sand Village, after the power of the Wind Kingdom returned to the daimyo, he no longer had an excuse to start a war immediately.

Although the Daimyo of the Land of Earth continued to condemn the actions of the Third Kazekage on the surface, Ōnoki expressed his support for the Third Kazekage in his letter. In fact, the Land of Earth did not intend to further interfere in the situation in the Land of Wind.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire welcomed the Third Kazekage's concession and hoped that Konoha Village could continue to maintain its influence over the Land of Wind.

Shadow Moon continued to observe the situation behind the scenes to ensure that the interests of Konoha Village would not be affected by the conflict.

With the abdication of the Third Kazekage and the succession of Rasa, the situation in the Sand Village gradually stabilized.

Although there was still some dissatisfaction among the internal conservatives, Rasa quickly consolidated his control over the Sand Village with the legacy of the Third Kazekage.

He continued to implement the shogunate system of the Third Kazekage, but was more cautious and tactful in his foreign attitude.

Although the Daimyo of the Wind Country has ostensibly gained a certain amount of power, the shogunate system still ensures the Sand Village's core control position in the Wind Country.

The power of the Sand Village is much stronger than before the Third Kazekage came to power. Although the Third Kazekage's strategy was not completely successful, it also won great benefits and power for the Sand Village.

After the Fourth Kazekage Rasa came to power, he tried hard to find a balance between domestic and international pressures.

On the one hand, he ensures the interests of the Sand Village, and on the other hand, he tries his best to avoid direct conflicts with other major powers and maintain the status of the Sand Village in the ninja world.

In this crisis in the Land of Wind, Uchiha Kagezuki's secret support played a key role.

He facilitated the abdication of the Third Kazekage through diplomatic means, helping the Sand Village to retain some power while avoiding a new round of war in the ninja world.

Yingyue understood that the turmoil in the Wind Country was only the prelude to a bigger storm in the ninja world, and the power struggle between the major ninja villages had just begun.

Shadow Moon continues to use the Shadow Screen Organization to maintain a delicate balance between the major countries, ensuring that Konoha Village occupies an advantageous position in this complex power game.

He knew very well that although the situation in the Wind Kingdom had calmed down temporarily, there might be more changes in the future.

Yingyue stood on the roof of the Hokage Building, looking at the Wind Kingdom in the distance.

He knew that the peace in the ninja world was only a temporary illusion. Both the game between the great powers and the Sand Village under the shogunate system were secretly accumulating new strength.

As the Hokage of Konoha Village, he has made all preparations for the great challenges that may come in the future.

In this turbulent power struggle, the abdication of the Third Kazekage won the Sand Village a temporary breathing space, but the undercurrents in the entire ninja world are far from subsiding.

After the success of the anti-shogunate movement, the daimyos of various countries became more confident. They felt that they could not only force the arrogant Third Kazekage to abdicate, but could also go a step further and completely consolidate their own ruling position.

This joint operation gave them a taste of power and prompted them to realize that they actually had a greater role to play in the situation in the ninja world.

Although the threat of ninja villages usurping power has been temporarily quelled, rebellions in various countries are still rampant, which has become a major concern for the daimyo.

In the past, the daimyo of each country relied on the ninja village to suppress rebellions and protect their own rule, but as time went on, they gradually realized that the power of the ninja village had become too strong and even had a tendency to become independent of the daimyo.

The attitudes of the major ninja villages in the face of rebellion also aroused the suspicion of the daimyo.

Although all the major ninja villages were suppressing the rebellion on the surface, in reality, many ninja villages, especially the Sand Village, the Iwagakure Village, and even the Konoha Village led by Uchiha Kagezuki, did not show much interest in ending the rebellion.

As the military force of the country, the ninja village gained huge benefits from the rebellion.

The continuation of the rebellion allowed the power of the ninja village to expand and also provided the ninjas with a steady stream of missions and income.

Whether it was the Third Kazekage of the Sand Village, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki of the Iwagakure Village, or even the Fourth Hokage Kagezuki of Konoha, they all continued to gain benefits from the rebellion by adopting a strategy of nurturing the enemy to their own benefit to a certain extent.

The daimyos of various countries began to realize that the ninja villages were not in a hurry to truly end these rebellions, but instead used the rebellions to consolidate their own power.

Faced with this situation, the daimyo felt increasingly threatened.

They realized that even though the overthrow of the shogunate was successful, if the rebellion was allowed to continue, the power of the ninja village would grow and eventually they might completely break away from the control of the daimyo.

Faced with the increasingly fierce domestic rebellion, the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning took the lead in putting forward a bold proposal: the daimyos of various countries united to organize a five-nation coalition to completely suppress the rebellion and weaken the influence of the ninja village.

The daimyo no longer relied solely on the power of the ninja village, but decided to establish armed forces under their own control.

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning proposed to organize an army equipped with modern weapons based on the samurai class and absorbing civilians.

In the past, the rebels had achieved some success in fighting against the traditional armed forces of the ninja villages and daimyo with advanced weapons such as firearms.

The daimyos believed that the key to the problem was that although the ninja village had powerful ninjutsu and combat power, the number of ninjas was limited and their power was difficult to control.

The plan of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is not only to suppress the rebellion, but also to use it to revive the samurai class and weaken the status of the ninja village.

Samurai were once the backbone of daimyo in various countries, but with the rise of ninjas, samurai were gradually marginalized.

Now, the daimyo saw an opportunity to regain power and they hoped to regain control of the situation by recruiting troops and building a modern armed force composed of samurai and civilians.

The proposal of the Land of Lightning received widespread response from other daimyos.

Daimyo from the Land of Fire, Land of Earth, and Land of Water all joined the action.

Even the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, although he had just lost some power to the Third Kazekage, was also eager to suppress the rebellion in the country and regain control of the government of the Land of Wind.

Daimyo in various countries began to rapidly recruit soldiers and samurai, while introducing firearms and equipping their armies with modern weapons.

They hope to use this force to completely eradicate the rebel forces in the country and at the same time weaken the authority of the ninja village.

The daimyos knew very well that if they did not rely on the ninja village, they must build a sufficiently strong independent armed force.

The main goal of the Five Nations Alliance is to suppress the rebellion, but their hidden motive is to weaken the influence of the ninja village while weakening the rebels.

The daimyos of various countries knew that the strategies of the ninja villages in the rebellion were more for their own interests rather than serving the interests of the daimyos of various countries.

Therefore, this encirclement and suppression campaign was not only aimed at eliminating the rebels, but also at preventing the ninja village from taking advantage of the rebellion to expand its own power.
