From This Day Forward, I Will Stand at the Summit in the Name of God!

The Konoha in bright sunlight.

Countless villagers and ninjas from Konoha gathered in Hokage Building. Everyone held their breath, not daring to even breathe too loudly, and the atmosphere was filled with a sense of oppression.

On the top floor of the Hokage Building, figures appeared one by one. Uchiha Shisui, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Itachi seemed calm as they watched this scene, but their eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

There was also Jiraiya and a group of Anbu.

"Are they going to announce it yet?!"

The envoys from various ninja villages in the Shinobi World looked solemnly at the Third Hokage and others who had appeared. As for the Mizukage Mei Terumi, they mostly assumed that she had come to lend a hand.

The thin and haggard Third Hokage slowly appeared in the sight of everyone in Konoha. At this moment, countless ninjas who knew everything showed complicated expressions.

Regardless, the Third Hokage has ruled for so many years, and is now an old man in his twilight years. His abdication in this manner marks the end of his reign.

"I am Hiruzen Sarutobi. Since becoming the Third Hokage, I have led Konoha through many trials and tribulations over the years, witnessed Konoha glory, and ultimately led Konoha to where it is today."

At this moment, the Third Hokage was not wearing his Hokage Hat, revealing his aged appearance, which made countless Konoha Ninja sigh, realizing that the Shinobi Hero had truly grown old.

His hair and beard were white, even his once straight spine was bent, and his face was covered with age spots.

After a brief remark by the Third Hiruzen Sarutobi, he turned around, holding a brand-new Hokage Hat aloft, and a figure slowly walked forward under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

She wore a white kimono adorned with hexagonal plum blossoms, and the wide sleeves were trimmed with red thorns, also featuring hexagonal plum blossom patterns. A snow-white, fluffy shawl draped over her proud neck and shoulders.

With her long, flowing golden hair and radiant golden eyes, Sannin Princess Tsunade, displayed to the world what it means to be heroic and dashing, while also exuding an air of nobility.

"Tsunade!"

"Was the Fifth Hokage Tsunade?!"

At this moment, the villagers of Konoha all stared at the golden-haired figure that appeared; Prestige, one of the Sannin Tsunade, was now very popular.

When the envoys from various ninja villages saw that it was Tsunade, they all secretly rejoiced, and even their faces showed smiles of anticipation.

I wonder if there will be any unexpected events at this Hokage inauguration ceremony. Will the civil war start today, or later?

All the Konoha Ninja were filled with complex emotions. It wasn't that they were dissatisfied with Tsunade, but rather that whoever became the Fifth Hokage today would cause turmoil in Konoha.

Like a graceful swan, Tsunade held her elegant neck high and surveyed the entire Konoha. Her face exuded a unique aura as she casually took the Hokage Hat handed to her by the Third Hokage and held it high.

"From this day forward, I shall be the Fifth Hokage, governing Konoha!"

Despite Tsunade's domineering declaration, the countless Konoha Ninja below became serious, and some even exchanged wary glances.

However, at that moment, a blue figure slowly walked forward; it was the Mizukage of Kirigakure.

Wearing a blue strapless dress, a white belt around her waist, and dark blue nail polish, she slowly removed her blue Mizukage Hat, revealing her mature and charming face to the world.

"From this moment forward, I shall be the Fifth Mizukage of the Land of Water!"

Mei Terumi, who exudes an aura of dignity, gentleness, and friendliness, actually made a high-profile declaration on the Hokage Building that she was the Fifth Mizukage.

This scene astonished countless Konoha Ninja, and even the envoys from various other ninja villages felt that this Mizukage... well, a bit neurotic!

"Da da!"

Despite the emptiness of Konoha, everyone could hear the clear sound of footsteps echoing in their ears. When a figure reappeared on the Hokage Building, everyone was shocked.

Pure white kimono and black trousers, his chest was open, slightly revealing his eye-catching muscles, and dark black arm guards covered his forearms and extended to his palms. A straight sword was tucked horizontally at his waist.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Uchiha Yoru's tall figure slowly appeared between the two Five Kage, as if surrounded by stars.

At this moment, the Third Hokage lowered his head, and outsiders could not see his expression, but he appeared in everyone's sight by holding a Hokage Hat in his hands.

"This!"

"What is the Third Hokage trying to do?!"

"What is Konoha trying to do?!"

Countless Konoha Ninja were shocked, but many more secretly speculated that the two sides had reached a private agreement or something similar.

The envoys from ninja villages across the Shinobi World stared at this scene in astonishment.

The Five Kage hats are brightly colored, each representing the local customs and traditions of Five Great Ninja Villages: the Hokage's red, the Mizukage's blue, the Kazekage's dark green, the Tsuchikage's dark brown, and the Raikage's earthen yellow.

This time, however, the Shadow Hat that appeared in the Third Hokage's hand was a brand new snow-white one, with a touch of red on the edge of the brim.

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru calmly surveyed all the Konoha Ninja and the envoys from various ninja villages who had come to visit, and slowly accepted the Shadow Hat handed over by the Third Hokage.

The instant it was raised high, everyone's gaze froze. With the ninjas' excellent eyesight, almost everyone could clearly see the Shadow Hat in Uchiha Yoru's hand, or the large red characters on the Shadow Hat.

God!

The Five Kage hats are inscribed with the characters for fire, lightning, earth, wind, and water, but this time, the Kage hat in Uchiha Yoru's hand is not the Hokage Hat from Konoha, but a hat inscribed with the character for god.

The legends of Konoha, the legends of the God of Shinobi World, resonated in the minds of countless people!

"I, the Fifth Hokage / Mizukage, hereby declare!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi Fifth Mizukage, standing on either side, looked directly at all of them and began to take their oaths.

"The war between Konoha and Mist Ninja is over!"

The two men shouted in deep voices, and everyone was shocked. What was this?

At the same time, the Hokage Rock curtain behind them slowly fell, revealing three faces. Uchiha Yoru's face was positioned higher, with Mizukage Mei Terumi and Hokage Tsunade on his left and right sides, respectively.

It seems to be proving something to the Shinobi World.

This is clearly an oath of allegiance sworn by Konoha and Mist Ninja under the leadership of their respective Kage. Uchiha Yoru's ambition is not limited to Konoha, much less to a mere Hokage.

Instead, he wanted to annex the two major ninja villages in the Shinobi World and become their shadow!

Even! To become a god in the Shinobi World!

God of the Shinobi World!

Although Mei Terumi cannot represent the entire Mist Ninja, it should be noted that her Rebel Army still controls a significant portion of Mist Ninja territory, making her essentially half of Mist Ninja.

There are Third Hokage more generations of responses!

At this moment, the envoys from the various ninja villages, after their initial shock, revealed their overwhelming rage. This was a trap! A conspiracy by Konoha to control the Shinobi World.

Damn it, what kind of bullshit is this about Konoha splitting up and a coup! The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old guy, has already submitted. Otherwise, why would he be offering up this hat representing the god of the Shinobi World like a dog today?

The submission of the Third Hokage, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi signified the allegiance and submission of the two great ninja villages, representing the merger of Mei Terumi's territory with Konoha.

More importantly, Mei Terumi's Kirigakure Mist Ninja will merge with Konoha!

Originally, his position as the overlord of the Shinobi World was already in jeopardy, but now, with this turn of events, Uchiha Yoru's strength and influence have increased dramatically, reaching their most glorious point in one fell swoop.

With its superior numbers, quality, and combined military strength, the Ninja Shinobi World became number one, its position as the undisputed ruler of the Shinobi World unshakeable.

"God! Roar!"

Someone, who had been secretly stirring things up, shouted at the top of their lungs, instantly stirring up everyone's emotions. The entire Hidden Konoha erupted in excitement, with countless ninjas and villagers bursting into tears.

Konoha! No civil war broke out! War did not break out!

"The God of the Shinobi World!"

"Roar!"

At this moment, among the Konoha Ninja crowd, there was also a small group of ninjas from Mist Ninja, who were also roaring excitedly and wildly.

In contrast, the envoys from the major ninja villages in the Shinobi World wore grim expressions. They had been tricked and fooled! It was all a conspiracy, a conspiracy by Uchiha Yoru to merge the territory and power of the Rebel Army in the Land of Land of Water.

It's also a conspiracy to unite the forces of both sides!

If it had been exposed from the beginning, the major ninja villages in the Shinobi World would never have agreed to it. They would have engaged in open and covert struggles, instigation, assassinations, and all sorts of other activities from the very start. Even if it destroyed the Rebel Army of the Land of Water, they would never have stood by and watched it be incorporated into Konoha.

Uchiha Yoru, who received the hat representing the Hokage Hat, the god of the Shinobi World, exuded a unique domineering aura, looking down at everyone with an imposing presence.

"From this moment forward! I hereby declare that I, Uchiha Yoru, have taken over the Land of Water. I hereby declare that the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, who has long been implementing the inhumane Bloody Mist Management System, is hereby abolished. From this moment forward, all Mist Ninja in the Shinobi World shall be subject to the command of me, Uchiha Yoru, and the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi."

Those who disobey will be considered Rogue Ninja! The Fourth Mizukage's disobedience will make him a leader of the Rebel Army! From this day forward, the ninjas of Konoha and Mist Ninja will be under my rule!

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru exuded domineering arrogance, and in front of envoys from various countries, he arrogantly announced this dictatorial order, openly labeling the Fourth Mizukage Rebel Army.

"A conspiracy! A blatant conspiracy! This is a conspiracy by Konoha!"

"Damn it! Uchiha Yoru, you will be attacked by all the ninja villages in the Shinobi World! The Shinobi World War will begin because of you, you madman!"

Uchiha Yoru's bold and domineering declaration shocked the world and aroused the anger of envoys from various ninja villages.

What are they after all this time? Clowns who were played for a fool by you, Uchiha Yoru?

In fact, Uchiha Yoru played a trick on the entire Shinobi World!

However, at this moment, three figures appeared on the Hokage Building, led by Uchiha Yoru, with Mei Terumi and Tsunade also revealing domineering smiles.

Boom!

In an instant, the three of them joined forces, their auras erupting, and their terrifyingly powerful Chakra swept across the entire Konoha. The combined Chakra pressure from the three of them instilled fear in countless ninjas.

Under the terrifying pressure of Chakra, even Tailed Beast Level is nothing special!

Just like in the original story when Orochimaru summoned the Hokage of the past, the Second Hokage suppressed the entire scene with just a burst of Chakra, which shows that pure Chakra, when powerful enough, can be an extremely terrifying existence.

However, at that very moment, Uchiha Yoru, Tsunade, and Mei Terumi, in front of countless people, clapped their hands together and assumed a hand Hand Seals posture.

Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence

Susanoo- Complete Form

Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyou Mangekyo activated and continued to spin, a powerful black chakra instantly appeared around him, visibly and rapidly condensing and growing stronger.

With a furious roar and a clap of her Tsunade, Tsunade unleashed a massive surge of Chakra, causing the entire Konoha to rumble and tremble.

The earth within Konoha's vast village began to tremble, then cracked open, revealing a terrifying scene: large tree vines, visible to the naked eye, began to sprout.

"This! How is this possible!"

"Wood! Wood Release!"

"It's Wood Release!"

Rumble~

As this astonishing scene unfolded, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi exchanged a glance on the Hokage Building, their expressions turning solemn. They simultaneously shouted, activating their Mangekyo and unleashing their Susanoo.

Rumble~

In the blink of an eye, the landscape of Konoha had undergone tremendous changes. Countless large trees suddenly appeared, without damaging any buildings, and instead added a lot of greenery to Konoha.

But what's terrifying is that in such a large village as Konoha, all the trees have grown to an unknown height, especially those near the Training Ground, which seem to have stood for centuries.

The towering trees grew at an alarming rate, visible to the naked eye.

"What! What is this?!"

All the ninjas stared in shock at the scene before them. The entire Konoha had changed, and three giants had appeared in front of the Hokage Building.

"This! Is this something a ninja can achieve?!"

"Incredible! It has actually changed the landscape of this area!"

Rumble!

The imposing black Susanoo appeared directly on the Hokage Building, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Uchiha Yoru's Susanoo black, and in its complete form, its size surpassed that of Tailed Beast, presenting a complete armor-like shape. Under the terrifying pressure of its Chakra, even Jōnin was sweating profusely, with only one thought in his mind.

That's unmatched!

Even Jōnin are nothing but ants before such power!

At the same time, there were two smaller giant Susanoo: Uchiha Itachi's red Susanoo and Shisui's green Susanoo.

At a young age, Uchiha Itachi Susanoo. Susanoo, on the other hand, had already entered the second stage of Shisui.

Summoning Jutsu!

Just then, loud shouts suddenly rang out Hokage Building, and the thick smoke from the Summoning Beast instantly dissipated, revealing the terrifying figures of Gamabunta and Manda.

At this moment, Konoha flexed its muscles before the envoys from all the major ninja villages in the Shinobi World.

At that moment, Mei Terumi, high above and inside Uchiha Yoru Susanoo, gave a seductive smile.

"This is the time for a beautiful fireworks celebration."

Mei Terumi's lips curled into a smile. "Only dazzling fireworks can match a handsome and ambitious man."

Lava Release: Scorching Sea Wave

In an instant, it spat out fiery red magma like ocean waves, which exploded in the air, forming dazzling sparks, just like fireworks.

After doing all this, Mei Terumi wiped the remaining fiery red lava from the corner of her mouth with her alluring hand. Mei Terumi was already famous in the Shinobi World for having two Kekkei Genkai, but today she revealed another Kekkei Genkai.

Boil Release, Lava Release (corrosive slime), and today even Lava Release (magma) has appeared. Mei Terumi, a ninja with Kekkei Genkai.

"This!"

"Is this really something a ninja could achieve?!"

"Damn it, this is on a completely different level."

All the ninjas in Konoha stared blankly, as did the envoys from various ninja villages.

Susanoo Uchiha Yoru, beneath his Susanoo, looked down upon everyone in Konoha and roared domineeringly, "Go back and tell your Kage that the entire Shinobi World is so small that the lands available for expansion are barely enough for me to manage alone!"

"The Shinobi World has been in chaos for too long, and peace has never come. No one is born to stand on the throne, not even the Five Kage or the gods! But this unbearable period of emptiness on the throne of heaven is about to end. From this day forward, I will stand at the top in the name of the gods!"

With his hands clasped together, he ran his fingers through his hair. His hairstyle, which had once exuded youthfulness, had been transformed into one that radiated mature charm. At the same time, Uchiha Yoru demonstrated to the entire Shinobi World what true dominance and unparalleled arrogance meant.

"Wood Release! And this terrifying Ninjutsu! What is Konoha trying to do?!"

The envoys from various countries who were furious just a moment ago now looked at this scene with fear on their faces. The power that Uchiha Yoru displayed this time was too strong and too terrifying.

The First Hokage's Wood Release, which quelled the chaos of the world; the legendary Susanoo with its Mangekyo Susanoo; and a series of other Kage Level powerhouses with terrifying pressure.

This is purely a display of strength, telling the entire Shinobi World just how powerful and influential Uchiha Yoru is now.

Uchiha Yoru, Susanoo, issued a domineering order.

"I hereby appoint Jiraiya, one of the Sannin Jiraiya, to assume command of the Land of Earth. Orochimaru will inspect the border of the Land of Wind. I hereby appoint Hatake Kakashi, Juzo Biwa, Zabuza Momochi to assume command of the Land of Lightning."

"Order Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Kisame Hoshigaki, Ringo Ameyuri Might Guy, and Might Guy to go to the Land of Water to guard it. Mist Ninja Rebel Army will be considered an invasion! They will be killed without mercy!"

"The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, and the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, are stationed in Konoha!"

"At the same time, I, Uchiha Yoru, hereby declare to the entire Shinobi World that any invasion of my territory shall be considered war!"

Uchiha Yoru's domineering declaration echoed in the sky above Konoha, lingering for a long time, as countless people watched in shock at this Eternal Life scene.
