"So that's how it is, you are from the future, successors of the Akatsuki?" Yahiko asked excitedly. "I never imagined my successors would have come this far. Very good. Although it deviates somewhat from the original intentions of the Akatsuki's founding, as long as true peace can be established, these things can be overlooked!"
Lin Nan glanced at Yahiko. To be precise, Yahiko was indeed the founder of the Akatsuki, possessing foresight and ambition, but sadly, he died young and was too naive. Yahiko was also the first generation leader of the Akatsuki. After his death, he successfully allowed the Akatsuki to transform; Nagato moved from the forefront to the background, and the Akatsuki completely devolved from a peace organization into a terrorist group. It could be said that all of this was inextricably linked to Yahiko.
Judging from Yahiko's reaction at this moment, he seemed not to have noticed that the white-haired person beside him was Nagato. He merely thought he was a senior who had been resurrected by his successors.
Before Lin Nan could say anything, the people beside him looked at him. Because Yahiko's tone was completely different from when he was controlled by Nagato with black rods during the Pain arc, it aroused much curiosity. They stared at Yahiko like monsters. As for Yahiko, everything about him was good, except for a bit of chuunibyou. He thought these gazes were admiration for the founder and a senior, and he immediately became spirited.
Nagato covered his forehead. At this point, he was too lazy to explain anything. After being resurrected by the Edo Tensei once again, the world had undergone even greater changes than before. It was as if the entire ninja world was slowly moving towards an unknown direction, or perhaps it was on the verge of a cliff, and it was uncertain whether falling into the abyss would be good or bad.
Lin Nan was also too lazy to explain anything to Yahiko and was oblivious to the strange glances around him. He continued, "So, you already know everything. For the resurrection ceremony three years from now, I can resurrect all of you as well. It all depends on these three years..."
"But if you resurrect all of us, you will die too!" Nagato pondered.
Lin Nan nodded, "Indeed, I will die, but my death will bring absolute peace and another form of absolute life. It's no big deal to me!"
"The choice is yours now. Do you choose to be with us, or do you feel tired? If you are tired, I won't force you. Resurrection is still possible. After resurrection, you can do whatever you want, but you need to work for me for three years first!"
Nagato glanced at Yahiko and slowly said, "I agree. Since Naruto has been persuaded by you, I have nothing more to say!"
Itachi Uchiha looked deeply at Lin Nan and said, "As long as you keep your promise, I don't need to be resurrected. Just let me continue to be the crow in the shadows!"
Lin Nan's eyes flickered, and he slowly nodded. Kisame had not said anything until now, but he let out a strange laugh. "I never imagined that the little Lin back then would now be a being surpassing gods! I have nothing else to say. This new world is also what I've longed for, and moreover, I'm very willing to continue working with Mr. Itachi!"
Now only one person remained, Obito! Uchiha Obito clenched his teeth, and after a long while, finally sighed, "What you are doing now is far more difficult than what I did back then. Establishing an eternal divine kingdom is not easy. I can help you. I just want to see if this world will be as you say after three years!"
Others were unaware of Obito's identity, except for the four involved in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Because Tobi's image in the Infinite Tsukuyomi was always Obito's, they naturally knew that Obito was a member of the Akatsuki. However, except for Kisame, none of those resurrected by the Edo Tensei had seen Tobi's true face, so they did not know that Uchiha Obito was Tobi. But they would find out later, Lin Nan did not care about these things.
He slowly nodded, then had Kabuto release their control. It was not impossible for Lin Nan himself to perform the Edo Tensei, but the caster needed to maintain a mental connection with the caster. Lin Nan had many things to do in the future and did not want to waste his energy on this. The Akatsuki was now fully prepared, and the next step was the arrangement for the new world. Lin Nan was about to enter the busiest and most indispensable period of his life.
The Five Kage, upon returning to their villages, first informed all the citizens of the outcome of the war. However, they could not say they were defeated, as it would cause panic. And the fact that so many people had died could not be hidden, so they could only call it a hard-won victory. Regarding those who died, the Five Kage tactfully did not mention how many would return in three years, but temporarily suppressed this matter, and issued compensation to the families of the fallen soldiers.
After appeasing the public, they began to communicate with the Daimyo of each country. These Daimyo, having been threatened by Lin Nan earlier, quickly agreed. Although the Daimyo appeared to be useless gluttons, they were actually quite intelligent. While they did not want to relinquish their power, they also needed to be alive to enjoy it. The attitude of the Five Kage was very ambiguous, as their weakening meant the strengthening of the Five Kage's power. And the Daimyo's "armies" had basically been purged, so if they refused, they could imagine the consequences with their toes. This left the Daimyo with no choice but to agree. This was also one of the main reasons why Lin Nan insisted on clearing out a large portion of the ninjas. Many people, influenced by power and influence, could not see clearly. Once removed from these distractions, they would find that life was more important than anything else.
Next, they would select members for the Supervisory Board from among the common people and the ninja ranks, people who were favored by everyone in society or the ninja world. Then, ten councilors would be chosen from the Supervisory Board. Before long, the councilors from each country, the representatives of the Daimyo, and the representatives of the Five Kage were brought into the Kamui space by Lin Nan's clone. They would have to jointly draft the so-called "United Nations Constitution" within a limited time! This would be the first tangible legal document in the true sense of the ninja world.
As for the Akatsuki, they grandly moved towards the various small countries. Of course, what they did was not destruction, but with the envoys of each country, they employed both soft and hard tactics. Lin Nan only cared about the result; he did not care about the process. And his true form remained in the lair of Kabuto, or rather, Orochimaru.
One day, he presented a rabbit to Orochimaru and Kabuto. Orochimaru was instantly amazed!
