In the blink of an eye, three years hurriedly passed by—
The first year.
A small team of ninjas from Konoha accidentally discovered an alternate dimension where the Shell Organization was based, reported it to Haruno Sakura, who then sent ninjas to investigate and subsequently turned the area into a territory managed by Konoha, where they established a research base...
The Five Great Nations did not give up on their collaboration, secretly recruiting rogue ninjas and samurai to target their own ninja villages, but they were all deciphered by the ninja villages, and the leadership of the four major ninja villages, feeling emboldened by their alignment with Konoha, also waged wars against their respective countries' Daimyo, achieving success and gaining substantial benefits.
At that moment, the four major ninja villages realized just how wealthy the Daimyo and nobles were...though calling the pay they gave to their ninjas a trifle was almost a compliment.
