Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha was also vigorously promoting science on another front. Orochimaru, Hiruzen Sarutobi's apprentice, was the most outstanding scientist in the ninja world at that time.
The combination of these two factors, along with strong policies... has resulted in no one starving to death in the world. Furthermore, with the unification of the ninja world, war is no longer possible, and even small-scale battles are rare. This world enjoys unprecedented peace.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who inherited the Will of Fire from the First and Second Hokage, began to doubt whether those two lords had truly been wrong. Had Madara Uchiha's actions truly been the right path?
He forcefully shook his head, dispelling his chaotic thoughts, his expression becoming increasingly complicated.
Thinking about this kind of thing actually has a hint of betraying one's master and ancestors... But he himself knows that even he, a powerful figure at the pinnacle of the old era, has such thoughts, so what do ordinary ninjas and ordinary civilians think? Need I say more?
"It's all in the past." Hiruzen Sarutobi said with some sadness. Even now that Madara Uchiha is dead, the ninja world can never go back to what it was before.
What's most terrifying about Madara Uchiha is that he proposed a possibility—the possibility of what a wonderful scene it would be if the entire ninja world were truly unified.
Therefore, even if Madara Uchiha were to die a violent death now, countless brilliant and talented ninjas would inevitably follow in Madara's footsteps, striving to restore the world to a unified and peaceful era…
Suddenly, a sharp, buzzing sound rang out.
Onoki's expression suddenly turned serious as he stared intently at Madara Uchiha's side, where mist was rising. His hands formed several hand seals, ready to unleash Dust Release at any moment.
Of course, this time... Onoki no longer had the idea of ambushing Madara Uchiha. If the situation turned bad, he was even willing to take a blow for Madara Uchiha and die in Madara's place.
"Interesting, very interesting indeed." Accelerator was the first to emerge from the mist, observing the group of ninjas present with great interest.
There were over forty ninjas present, each possessing chakra levels comparable to Kage. And for exceptional individuals like Hiruzen Sarutobi, Onoki, and A, their chakra levels could even be considered beyond Kage…
"It's one thing for these guys to progress in strength so quickly, but they're also so loyal to you... It seems you've done a lot." Accelerator gave Madara a meaningful look. "Madara, I always thought you didn't understand people's hearts, but I was wrong about you."

"No! Ban truly doesn't understand people's hearts," Ying Zheng also stepped out, his expression calm. He glanced around at the situation, and after a moment's thought, he understood.
Ultimately, Ying Zheng's ability to judge people was exceptional. Even within the Mist Council, through layers of mist, he could discern the personalities of its members based on their words. This was even more true when facing them directly.
Ying Zheng calmly said, "However! Whether you understand people's hearts or not has nothing to do with whether you can make your subordinates sincerely submit to you."
"As long as you possess absolute power, and those people are loyal to you, and can live a better, more peaceful life, and achieve their ideals, then they will remain loyal to you..."
"Anyone who wants to break this lifestyle will be the first to rise up against the enemy and defend you."
"I see." After a moment of silence, Huang Rong looked at the distant city with a deep gaze. "Speaking of which, the moon... has it been developed to this extent? This is truly beyond my expectations."
Kurumi Tokisaki surveyed her surroundings with great interest, remarking with a sigh, "On the moon..."
Even though she was an elf, wielding extraordinary power, Kurumi Tokisaki had never stood on the moon before... She felt quite fascinated at that moment.
Tony Stark first scanned his surroundings with interest, then froze when he saw the strange entity shrouded in blood-red mist beside him.
After a brief silence, Tony Stark relaxed again. Although his words were casual, there was a hint of caution in the depths of his eyes. "May I ask if you are... yet another new Ordinal God?"
"No! I am not a numbered god, I can only say that I am striving in that direction." Su Han's voice was completely calm. "You can now call me by my code name... Demon."
"A demon?" Accelerator pondered for a moment, then gave Su Han a deep look. "The demon of monsters?"
Su Han didn't answer. Accelerator seemed to have received some answer, nodding thoughtfully. Suddenly remembering something, he asked again, "Then it shouldn't be a problem for me to call you the Demon God, right?!"
Su Han still did not answer.
Tony Stark gasped, cold sweat beading on his forehead. Madara Uchiha's gaze towards Su Han also turned to astonishment and disbelief.
Although the stars in the stories they had witnessed contained many beings named gods, it was quite clear that these beings were only revered as gods in their own world.
Since this demon god before us is a subordinate of the council chairman, then the standard by which his strength is judged must naturally stem from the system to which the council chairman belongs... This is extremely terrifying...
After all, someone who can bear the name of a god within the system of the council president might be a terrifying being comparable to the original form of an ancient god.
"Is it really as Aizen once guessed?" Tony Stark's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself, his expression somewhat grave. "The reason there are ten numbered gods is not because the council chairman only has ten gods under his command."
"These ten are actually the ten most powerful gods among all the gods under the Council Speaker's command."
"There are even more gods! They were eliminated because they weren't strong enough."
"Thinking about it this way... the power the Speaker possesses in the void is truly terrifying."
Unlike Tony Stark and Madara Uchiha, Tokisaki Kurumi was more interested in Su Han and wondered to herself, "I wonder if this demon god... is his true form similar to a demon like Miss Tushan Honghong."
"By the way, right now our scene here should be visible through the illusion! Tokisaki Kurumi glanced thoughtfully at the sky, her smile becoming increasingly amused. "I imagine Tu Shan Hong Hong's expression right now must be quite something."
"When do you plan to offer sacrifices to the heavens?" Although Ying Zheng had many thoughts in his mind, he remained calm on the surface, not even noticing Su Han, and stared calmly at Uchiha Madara.
"Now then." Madara Uchiha shook his head, forcibly banishing the chaotic thoughts from his mind.
Although the information revealed by Su Han shocked him, with this person guarding the place... Uchiha Madara felt much more at ease.
He stepped forward and arrived at the altar. He suddenly clasped his hands together and said in a low voice, "Then, I'll leave the rest to you."
"yes!"
"Lord Ninja Sect, please rest assured."
"No matter what happens, we will do our best to protect you and fight off our enemies."
"Our Konoha Village is naturally most loyal to you."
"Stupid monkey, do you think that Lord Ninja knows nothing about your secret plans to recruit the Three Ninja and develop your own power within the Anbu? It's just that he's magnanimous and doesn't hold it against you. How dare you say such shameless things?"
