In the world of Naruto, although the world consciousness's action of destroying the world was directly suppressed by Qi Yun, its actions at that time still caused great harm to the world. And due to the disappearance of the world consciousness, some extremely unreasonable rules it had set in the past could not be corrected, which also brought great trouble to post-disaster reconstruction.
After many top ninjas joined the main god space and worked continuously to repair their homes, most of the territory of the Fire Country has been stabilized so far. There are two reasons why all ninjas "unanimously" chose this place as their home base. The first is because the main god space once had the best penetration into the Fire Country, so the overall repair also started from here. The second is that the total combat power of the original Konoha currently accounts for more than 50% of the entire Naruto world.
"Hokage, the new batch of food purchased has been counted and stored in the warehouse. According to the current food distribution standards, it is estimated that it will be enough for everyone to eat for three months." Hatake Kakashi reported to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru raised his head, revealing a slightly old face, "How is the local planting situation?"
"The influence of world consciousness has not yet ended. Most of the land only looks fertile, but in fact it is extremely barren. Even if we use the new potato and sweet potato seedlings donated by China, the yield is still very low." Kakashi recalled the report he saw last time. "The output of food grown in the first quarter can only sustain the survival of everyone for about a month."
"I understand." Orochimaru waved at Kakashi, and after he left, he leaned back in his chair and sighed.
In fact, food is not the most important factor affecting the development of the Fire Nation at present. After all, there is the trade route of the Main God Space. Although the cost is huge, under the semi-militarized management mode, everyone can still survive.
The factor that really affects development is population. The number of all living intelligent life now is too small, far from enough to stabilize the world. Firstly, this forces the Fire Nation to purchase expensive space stabilization devices to protect the barely expanded land. Secondly, insufficient population leads to a lack of labor.
As for artificial intelligence, Orochimaru had never thought about it. The current Fire Nation was not suitable for using those fully intelligent devices, and he did not want another intelligent machine crisis just when things were getting a little better.
Bang! The door was pushed open with great force and the Anbu personnel rushed in in panic.
"Hokage, an abnormal creature attack was discovered at the border. A stronghold has been destroyed. The personnel evacuated in time and no casualties occurred, but the space stabilizer placed there was damaged." The Anbu quickly reported the news from the front line through the radio.
"Did you get any video footage? And where is Gai?" Orochimaru became nervous. To make matters worse, this was the second attack by abnormal creatures this month.
"There is no video footage. According to the frontline personnel, after they sensed the abnormal creatures, they discovered that their own side had suffered varying degrees of mental infection, so they executed an emergency retreat order. In addition, Lord Kai was carrying out the Tiandao mission the day before yesterday and has not returned yet." The Anbu said.
The Heavenly Way refers to the main divine space. This is the term used by all qualified people to explain to other people or lower-level ninjas.
Swish, Orochimaru flashed out of the office directly. The current national defense of the Fire Nation is actually quite weak. The purchase of a large amount of food and some necessary equipment has caused the main god points to be tight. The few permanent fourth-level people have been sent out to carry out difficult tasks. Currently, Orochimaru is the only fourth-level person recognized by the main god space in the Fire Nation, but there are still a few qualified third-level people.
According to the description from the front line, the abnormal creatures that appeared this time were most likely Fallen ones infected by the chaotic energy in the unrecovered areas. Therefore, apart from the fourth-order ones, the only ones who could fight on the front line were those who were qualified and provided with certain protection by the main god space.
After quick communication through the internal network, the personnel configuration for this battle is: Fourth level - Orochimaru, third level - Uzumaki Naruto, third level - Gaara, third level - Uchiha Sasuke, and the rest of the personnel will be led by Kakashi to stay in Konoha to maintain order. There are a group of uncertain and dangerous people inside Konoha. Once Konoha’s internal suppression forces are insufficient, these people will easily riot.
Although the riot was a bit exaggerated, after all, those people were trying their best to restrain themselves. They only attacked food distribution points and warehouses each time, and they were very sensible during the fight, trying not to let other ninjas get injured even if the price was their own lives. Despite this, this kind of riot was still something that most people did not want to see.
Because every riot like this was a huge challenge to the order that Konoha had finally restored, Orochimaru and his men could only end it quickly.
After the four left Konoha's large defense system, they directly boarded the high-speed automatic fighter parked outside. This was a magical tool used for emergency travel, which could save a lot of travel time and save unnecessary physical energy for the fighters.
The atmosphere on the fighter plane was a bit heavy. After experiencing the tragic death of his buddy in front of him, Uzumaki Naruto was not as lively as before, not to mention Uchiha Sasuke. He was already a bit autistic and became even more autistic. On the contrary, Gaara, as the only surviving Jinchūriki, his personality became much better than before for some reason.
Warning! Chaos pollution source discovered, protective barrier activated, special missions issued after combat capability assessment.
The prompt information from the main god space soon rang in the minds of the four people, and then the four people took on the task very skillfully. They were all old stuff that they had seen many times.
"You are all elites who have participated in strangulation missions more than once. I won't say more. I hope everyone can return home safely. I will be the lead this time!" Orochimaru said to the three young men after opening the belly of the plane.
"yes!"
As the response sounded, tailed beast veils began to appear on Uzumaki Naruto and Gaara's bodies. Relying on the main god space, the tailed beasts in their bodies had long since turned into a bloodline that belonged exclusively to the two of them.
Uchiha Sasuke next to him wore a pair of special glasses. The Sharingan was very useful most of the time, except when fighting against the Chaos Fallen.
As the fighter plane's display screen showed that they had arrived at the destination, the four people jumped out of the fighter plane one after the other according to their responsibilities.
As a fourth-level being with perfect self-awareness, Orochimaru stared at the Fallen One looking at the sky below, and cast all kinds of detection techniques directly at him. The infection that came back passed through the protective barrier of the main god space, just like a breeze blowing across Orochimaru's face.

After obtaining the character information, Orochimaru felt a little sigh in his heart. It was another old friend. In so many reincarnations of his awakening, in most cases, the two were still in the same camp. He didn't expect that the other party had now been infected by chaotic energy.
After sending the collected information to the team, Orochimaru also sent a message to Uchiha Sasuke, simply asking him to obey orders.
After learning that the infected person was Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke became visibly agitated. As the first person to land, he glanced at the target from a distance through the tree, then used his willpower to suppress all those inappropriate emotions and continued to act according to the original plan.
As for the private words that Orochimaru sent later, Sasuke had only one reaction, that is, Orochimaru underestimated him too much. After experiencing countless missions, witnessing various tragedies that he could not achieve, and seeing the scene of the destruction of the world, he was no longer the original Uchiha Sasuke.
This time the strangulation of Uchiha Itachi was unusually smooth, so smooth that at the moment before the special mission was completed, Orochimaru was still worried whether it was a trap. But it was normal to think about it, because the remaining consciousness in Uchiha Itachi's body was helping them to destroy himself from beginning to end.
After the mission was completed, chaotic energy began to dissipate. The current state of the Naruto world was unable to excrete this condensed energy, so only the main god space could do it.
A brilliant energy shot down from the sky and shone on Uchiha Itachi's body. After just a few minutes, the corpse, which was still trying to corrupt the surrounding area, was completely decomposed. It was then guided out of the Naruto world along the energy flow channel constructed by the main god space.
Orochimaru glanced at the time. Only two hours had passed since he set out. After standing in front of the light column and confirming that the fallen body had been completely dealt with, he controlled the fighter plane in the sky and landed on the open space in front of him.
Sasuke walked out of the woods in the distance, weighing a shuriken in his hand, with a pair of special glasses in the pocket of his shirt, and the magatama in his eyes spinning like windmills.
Uzumaki Naruto came over to comfort him, and Sasuke left a message, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
So, under the watchful eyes of Gaara and Orochimaru, he walked to the place where Uchiha Itachi fell, took out a tombstone with words engraved on it from the space, and using all his strength, he smashed the tombstone into the soil. After the tombstone was completely covered, he silently pulled up the tombstone, making it look like an ordinary tombstone.
Then Sasuke took a deep breath, stepped over Orochimaru at the belly of the plane, and walked into the fighter plane.
Naruto was a little surprised by Sasuke's reaction. In his opinion, he should have burst into tears.
When passing by the tombstone, Naruto stuck his head out to take a look. The tombstone was very simple, with only a name, no birth and death dates, no hometown, and no merits and demerits of this life.
Orochimaru was very satisfied with Sasuke's actions. He estimated that if this continued, it wouldn't be long before Konoha would have the first new generation of fourth-level qualified people. He once thought of using cloning technology to create an Uchiha Itachi to help Sasuke break his obsession, but then he thought that doing so might cause more trouble. Fortunately, he was lucky this time.
After returning to Konoha, Orochimaru went to the special personnel placement center first. After seeing Orochimaru, the red eyes of the "retired" ninja inside slowly returned to normal.
"Hokage, thank you for coming to see us, these burdens." The director of the resettlement center walked up to Orochimaru and said with a wry smile.
Orochimaru didn't know what to say. To Konoha now, the people here were all heroes. During that time when they had to do their best to obtain the Lord God points and merit points, there were many fallen ones who used their lives to hold on until the suitable qualified people returned.
Those who were lucky enough to survive that situation suffered from more serious and permanent mental problems. Alice was invited by Orochimaru to come and see them, but she was a little helpless against these people. After all, they were not enemies, and many of her methods could not be used at all.
"You are not a burden. The stability of the space here is thanks to you." Orochimaru said this as usual.
The director smiled. He became the director because he was the most normal one among so many mental patients. He also knew that Orochimaru's words were too exaggerated. Intelligent life was indeed important, but there were only more than thirty of them, and they were not yet at the point where they could stabilize the space. If he didn't say that, most of the people inside would probably choose to understand their own lives.
This is an extremely negative thing for the Fire Nation. Guarding the border is already extremely dangerous. If all the surviving heroes commit suicide, then over time, it is difficult for Orochimaru to imagine what will happen to the entire society. After all, they cannot maintain semi-militarized management forever.
Therefore, even though he knew that death would be easier than living for the people here, Orochimaru could only give them hope with all his heart. Sometimes Orochimaru asked himself if he was going too far and that maybe he should help those who were in extremely serious situations. But every time this happened, his reason would quickly overwhelm his emotions. There was nothing he could do about it, because he was the awakened one - the cold man - Orochimaru.
