Uchiha En dealt with him and Enma directly.
After eliminating the three, Uchiha En crushed their bodies and buried them in the ground where he cultivated Sage Beans.
The news of the disappearance of the Third Hokage and the two Advisors did not cause much uproar in the Village.
Uchiha En officially took over the position of Hokage three days later, becoming the Fifth Hokage.
Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, resigned from all his duties and only served as the principal of the Konoha Ninja Academy.
On the first day Uchiha En became Hokage, he issued an order that all Konoha Village Ninja must wear a wristband.
This wristband was something Uchiha En created after studying how the Six Paths Sage used Chakra to connect with people.
Its function was very simple: to allow Konoha Ninja to connect with each other.
As long as they wore this wristband, everyone's Chakra would be connected.
And Uchiha En transformed the Daikokuten space, creating a second world within this relatively static time space.
As long as they wore the wristband and had connected Chakra, Konoha Ninja could enter this space.
In this space, the Chakra body could do everything as in the outside world. Since time was relatively static, one could quickly practice Ninjutsu, train Taijutsu, and improve their strength here.
Of course, everyone's time in the Daikokuten space was limited.
Each person could only have a maximum of one hour per day.
The one hour mentioned here refers to external time, because time flows relatively statically within Daikokuten.
With this wristband, the strength of Konoha Ninja could be greatly improved in a short period.
And Nijo, as the master of the Daikokuten space, would absorb Chakra from anyone who entered Daikokuten to train, nourishing itself.
Uchiha En set the one-hour limit specifically to facilitate Nijo's absorption of Chakra.
The external explanation was that they would consume a large amount of Chakra when training there, so they could only train for a maximum of one hour.
This was the method Uchiha En thought of to increase Nijo's Chakra reserves.
Using the Daikokuten space, Konoha Ninja could train for what felt like several days in just one hour, and Nijo could gain Chakra, preparing for potential threats. It was a win-win situation.
And just one week after Uchiha En assumed the position of Hokage, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire announced increased economic aid to Konoha and dispatched his children to study at the Konoha Ninja Academy.
It was clear that he intended to strengthen the ties between Konoha and the Land of Fire.
Konoha naturally agreed with pleasure.
While Konoha Village was undergoing preliminary reforms, the Akatsuki Organization continued its actions. This time, the Akatsuki Organization learned the location where the Two-Tails had revived.
Obito and White Zetsu clashed with the Kumogakure Ninja who came to find the Two-Tails.
The two of them directly killed dozens of Kumogakure Ninja and stole the Two-Tails.
At this point, all Ninja Villages except Konoha and Hidden Sand Village had been attacked by the Akatsuki Organization.
The high-ranking officials of the other three Ninja Villages almost simultaneously dispatched their leaders to Konoha to seek help.
Upon learning of the other Villages' actions, Hidden Sand Village immediately followed suit, dispatching Chiyo to Konoha.
Although Gaara, the Jinchuriki of Hidden Sand Village, had not yet been captured by the Akatsuki Organization, the people of Hidden Sand Village knew very well that they were no match for the Akatsuki Organization. Once the Akatsuki Organization made a move, they would only have death awaiting them.
That's why Hidden Sand Village was so eager to go to Konoha with the other Ninja Villages for help.
And all of this was what Uchiha En wanted to see. He was not satisfied with only Konoha Ninja having their Chakra absorbed by Nijo; other Ninja Villages would definitely have to follow suit.
Not only that, Uchiha En also wanted to use this opportunity to achieve the preliminary unity of the major Ninja Villages.
This was also the reason why Uchiha En had the Akatsuki Organization begin its operations.
On this day, people from the Four Great Ninja Villages finally arrived in Konoha.
From Kumogakure came Shi, the bodyguard of the Fifth Raikage. From Hidden Sand Village came Chiyo. From Kirigakure came Mei Terumī, who was currently serving as the Mizukage's assistant. And from Iwagakure came Kurotsuchi, one of Ōnoki's two disciples, who would later become the Tsuchikage.
Uchiha En had someone lead them to the conference room.
"I never thought someone from the Uchiha Clan could become Hokage," Chiyo sighed, sitting in the conference room.
"Old woman, what do you mean by that? Didn't the Uchiha Clan found Konoha with the Senju Clan? Why can't they become Hokage?" asked Shi of Kumogakure.
"Heh! Youngsters are just youngsters, they don't know this. Konoha's original high-ranking officials, starting from the Second Hokage, were very, very prejudiced against the Uchiha Clan. Let alone letting the Uchiha Clan become Hokage, they even felt uncomfortable just having the Uchiha Clan stay in Konoha.
I feel that if it weren't for the Second and Third Great Ninja Wars, Konoha would have probably exterminated the Uchiha Clan long ago."
"Chiyo is right. I also heard from the elders of Kirigakure that Konoha's internal attitude towards the Uchiha Clan is very complex, especially the former four high-ranking officials, but now these four..." Mei Terumī's words trailed off midway.
"Heh! What's so unexpected about that? I don't think anyone knows how strong Uchiha En is better than Kumogakure, right? What's so strange about someone with that kind of strength becoming Hokage? In the end, isn't the Ninja World still about strength?" Kurotsuchi said.
Everyone fell silent.
Indeed, the Ninja World was ultimately a world where strength reigned supreme, and the reason they came to Konoha was simply because their strength was insufficient to deal with the Akatsuki Organization.
If they didn't want to be annihilated by the Akatsuki Organization, they had to seek other backing.
Konoha was their only and best choice at the moment.
The few of them did not know that their conversation had just been heard clearly by Uchiha En.
Although Uchiha En was not in the conference room, he knew everything that happened there.
"Asana, please go and receive them!" Uchiha En said.
"What exactly should I do?"
"Give them a show of force, intimidate them, and then you can give them the wristbands."
"I understand." After saying that, Asana turned and left.
Uchiha En looked at Asana's retreating figure and muttered, "The final stage is finally about to begin!"
