Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

In addition, the Whirlpool Country is also equipped with air combat weapons, enabling the troops to have comprehensive combat capabilities at sea, on land, and in the air.

The addition of mechas marked the beginning of a new era of combat in the ninja world. This product of technology combined with chakra was unheard of in previous wars.

With the explosion of scientific and technological power, the Land of Whirlpools has completely broken the limitations of traditional ninjutsu warfare and has become an important pillar for Shadow Moon to promote the modernization of the ninja world.

When the Liberation War officially began, the troops of the Whirlpool Country immediately launched a landing operation against the Fire Country from the sea.

Due to its obvious technological lead, the Fire Nation's defenses were almost powerless during the landing phase.

The overwhelming advantage of modern weapons on the battlefield enabled the Whirlpool Country's troops to advance rapidly like a torrent of wind and rain.

After receiving the signal, the resistance forces from all over the country gathered their troops and launched a large-scale attack on the cities of the Fire Nation.

Yingyue personally commanded Konoha's elite ninja troops and cooperated with the main force of the Whirlpool Country to launch a liberation operation.

Yingyue knew very well that speed was the key to war, and only by destroying the resistance of the Fire Nation as quickly as possible could the internal friction in the ninja world be reduced.

So he decisively gave orders to concentrate Konoha's elite troops to complete the occupation of most cities in the Land of Fire in the shortest possible time.

Within two days of the launch of the Liberation War, the Whirlpool Country and the rebels quickly occupied the main cities of the Fire Country. The progress of the Liberation War was amazing. Faced with this rapid fall, the Fire Country Daimyo could not help but feel desperate.

The modernized troops of the Whirlpool Country advanced almost to the walls of the Fire Country's capital, leaving the daimyo without the courage to resist.

More importantly, Uchiha Shisui used his brief Kotobukiya technique to exert influence on the daimyo and his close ministers, causing their will to become wavering.

Shadow Moon knew very well that this psychological collapse would greatly reduce unnecessary sacrifices and facilitate a smooth transition of the Fire Nation to a new system.

Faced with Shisui's pressure and the approaching army, the daimyo finally made a decision - to submit a letter of surrender to Uchiha Kagezuki.

Yingyue accepted the surrender of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation. At the same time, in order to eliminate the concerns of the remaining forces, Yingyue decided to make certain compromises in the conditions.

He assured the daimyo and his followers that he would give them a decent life as long as they gave up their power and property, and that most of those who surrendered would not be punished, and only those who committed serious crimes and had blood on their hands would be dealt with according to law.

Shadow Moon's promise successfully undermined the will of most people to resist, making them feel that this was the best option to save their lives.

Although some ministers still tried to incite the daimyo to continue resistance, calling Yingyue a traitor and a traitor who should not be compromised with.

But the daimyo knew very well that these ministers had already secretly sought a way out for themselves and had even reached a private agreement with the rebels.

The Daimyo chose to surrender, because he knew that this was not only to preserve his own position, but also to prevent the Fire Nation from being completely destroyed in the War of Liberation.

With the surrender of the daimyo, Shadow Moon quickly set about integrating the power structure of the Fire Nation and began implementing a series of social reforms and technological innovations.

Shadow Moon knew very well that although the war was won, more difficult challenges had just begun - he needed to restore the social order of the Fire Nation and stabilize people's livelihood in the shortest possible time in order to prepare for the impending foreign enemies.

With the liberation of the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Fire, the pace of unification of the ninja world is accelerating, and Shadow Moon's goal remains the same - to create a new era no longer bound by feudal constraints and to meet the final challenge of the Otsutsuki clan.

During Shadow Moon's war to liberate the Fire Nation, the Fire Nation's officials and ministers fully demonstrated their opportunistic nature.

Early in the war, when Shadow Moon announced that he was a backer of the resistance, these officials quickly denounced him as a "traitor," claiming that he had betrayed the "one village, one country" system founded by Hashirama Senju.

As Shadow Moon's troops began to attack, these people continued to condemn Shadow Moon for subverting the traditional order of the Fire Nation, and even accused him of violating ancestral laws, disrespecting his ancestors, and attempting to disrupt the long-standing political balance in the ninja world.

However, as the war situation quickly tilted towards Shadow Moon and the cities of the Fire Nation were successively occupied by Shadow Moon's modern army and the rebels, the attitudes of these officials and ministers changed dramatically.

The name Yingyue in their mouths gradually changed from "rebel" to "the great Fourth Hokage", and some people even flattered him as "the Shogun of the Shogunate".

When the war ended and Shadow Moon liberated the Fire Nation and accepted the Daimyo's surrender, the Fire Nation officials were even more enthusiastic, and their words were full of praise for Shadow Moon, calling his arrival "the great Fourth Hokage is about to arrive in his loyal Fire Nation capital", and their attitude was so arrogant at first and respectful later that it was disgusting.

And when Shadow Moon's troops and the rebels successfully entered the city, the expressions of these officials became subtle again.

Some people continued to wait and see, or even openly expressed their doubts about Shadow Moon, claiming that his rule was just another form of violence and dictatorship. Such remarks naturally led to "education" by the resistance forces loyal to Shadow Moon.

After some punishment, the officials' tone of voice quickly changed, and they began to worship Kagezuki as "the shogun of divine literature and martial arts" and "the great Fourth Hokage."

At this time, they even went further to compare Shadow Moon to a god, calling him "the incarnation of Amaterasu who came to the world to save the ninja world", and calling Shadow Moon's act of liberating the Fire Nation a "just war."

This ridiculous transformation did not stop there.

The worship of the "sun" has been popular in the ninja world since ancient times, and the daimyo of the five major countries are often compared to their respective "suns".

Now, these officials and nobles regard Shadow Moon as the new sun, believing that he brings new light and order.

Yingyue felt a little disdainful of this - these officials obviously had not really realized that what he was pursuing was not just to "replace a daimyo", but to completely reshape the social structure of the Fire Country and the Ninja World.

In Shadow Moon's reform blueprint, the old feudal structure will be completely broken, and the power of the nobles and bureaucrats will be weakened in exchange for the interests and rights of ordinary people.

However, these officials and nobles naively believed that Yingyue was just a new daimyo.

They were optimistic and held on to the hope that the new regime could not do without their governance experience, and that Yingyue would sooner or later rely on them to restore their status and privileges.

However, Yingyue did not express any agreement with their fantasies. He just watched coldly and silently planned the next reform plan, preparing to pull these "self-righteous" dignitaries down from the pinnacle of power step by step.

Shadow Moon knew in her heart that liberating the Fire Nation was only the beginning.

The real challenge is how to eradicate the old system in this land and build a more equitable and modern society.

He knew that these once privileged officials would try to make a comeback, but in his plan, these old forces were destined to be eliminated by the new system.

He will make these opportunists understand that the future of the ninja world is no longer the stage for their old class, but a new era for all the people.
