The Fall of the Daimyo's Residence
At the Chunin Ninja Exams venue, nearly 100,000 spectators were still reeling from the shocking battle scenes they had just witnessed.
No one expected that the power of ninjas could reach such a level as to change the world, almost like that of gods and demons.
The once vast Forest of Death has long since vanished in the aftermath of the great war.
Seeing this scene, especially the Third Hokage's unwavering demeanor even in his dying moments, Tsunade couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
"First Lord, reality has proven that your initial peace ideals were wrong!"
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru stared calmly at the First Hokage without any attempt at tact. Tsunade, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but glare at him.
Hashirama Senju gave an awkward smile, "That seems to be true. After all, after Madara and I left, I heard from you that the Shinobi World War is still going on."
Although Hashirama Senju still maintained his hot-blooded and carefree demeanor, the disappointment in his eyes was undeniable. After all, this was the goal he had pursued his entire life, only to be told by reality that he had been wrong.
"Snort!"
Madara Uchiha, standing to the side, snorted coldly. Hashirama had stabbed him in the Hashirama because of this very idea, and he still remembered that grudge to this day.
Tsunade sighed, looked at the land ravaged by the Hokage, and clapped her hands and shouted.
Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence
In an instant, the earth trembled and roared, and countless trees, vines, and other plants sprouted up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
In a moment!
The ninjas at the Chunin Ninja Exams venue swallowed hard in shock. One Wood Style Ninjutsu! And the Forest of Death was restored!
"Haha, Tsuna, your Wood Style Ninjutsu is pretty good."
Upon seeing Tsunade's Wood Release, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but burst into laughter, after all, he could be considered to have a successor.
A thick tree branch carried them to the top of the venue.
Looking at the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and Madara Uchiha, the Tsuchikage Onoki turned pale, his pupils still filled with deep fear.
The usually impulsive Fourth Raikage, Ay, had a livid face and couldn't utter a single word.
"The Sealing Team is preparing to seal."
Just as Tsunade was about to order the Impure World Reincarnation body, Uchiha Yoru smiled calmly and waved his hand to stop her.
"The Impure World Reincarnation can be undone by the one who performs it."
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyou Mangekyo swept across everyone before landing on the Third Hokage, and it was this glance that made Madara Uchiha secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
He definitely wouldn't want to be sealed away, and might even reveal some of his tricks. Fortunately, this brat knows that the caster of the Impure World Reincarnation technique can break it.
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, had a tremor in his pupils, which instantly transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan. With a blank expression, he slowly began to form hand seals. As soon as the hand seals were completed, a beam of light shot out from the bodies of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha.
At the same time, his skin turned into fragments and flew around. Meanwhile, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, broke free from the Genjutsu and collapsed to the ground, filled with resentment.
"Grandfather!"
With tears welling in her eyes, Tsunade watched her loved ones slowly disappear.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Yoru, who had ascended to the Five Kage's platform, surveyed everyone with an air of dominance, and at the same time, all protective barriers were dispelled.
"I, Uchiha Yoru, hereby declare! The rank of Daimyo is below that of Kage, and equivalent to that of an advisor! From this day forward, the Daimyo 'Land of Fire Daimyo's Mansion and the Land of Water Daimyo's Mansion will be relocated to Konoha!"
Boom!
Uchiha Yoru's order completely trampled the daimyo underfoot, shocking countless people, and the Daimyo's Mansion was filled with fear.
The Daimyo's Daimyo's Mansion was once almost superior to the ninja villages, but now it has fallen to the point of being subservient to the Kage.
Just then, a group of high-ranking officials stepped forward, led by Kazahana Koyuki and others, who respectfully knelt before Uchiha Yoru.
"The Daimyo of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Koyuki, and her ministers kneel in reverence!"
At this moment, everyone understood Uchiha Yoru's ambition: to relocate the Land of Fire Daimyo's Mansion and the Land of Water Daimyo's Mansion to this location, which was essentially a power grab.
They were treated like puppets, and the so-called daimyo of the Land of Snow made it clear to everyone that the daimyo was nothing more than a subject under his command, with no noble status whatsoever.
It also clearly tells everyone that the Land of Snow will be incorporated into the territory from today onwards.
At this moment, the people of the Daimyo's Mansion were ashen-faced. Before, they wouldn't have submitted, but now! Having just witnessed firsthand a world-destroying, god-like power, how could they possibly fight back?
At this moment, everyone finally understood that the existence of the fugitive princess Kazahana Koyuki over the years was entirely for the purpose of gathering a group of talented people for governance, and that she had secretly cultivated a group of them over the years.
Among the densely packed figures behind Kazahana Koyuki, many were familiar faces. Most were ninjas from Mist Ninja and Konoha who had retired due to injuries, while some were younger and lacked ninja talent.
Therefore! If the daimyo is obedient, he will serve as an advisor to the mascot; if he is disobedient!
Everyone fell silent, especially the many ninjas from other countries and the people from the Daimyo's Mansion. Raikage A and Tsuchikage Onoki stared at Uchiha Yoru in shock.
"You! You actually want to abolish the existence of the Daimyo!"
Wherever Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyou Mangekyo reached, no matter how much resentment and anger he felt, he could only suppress it.
"It's time for a change in this chaotic, war-torn Shinobi World! The Daimyo's Mansion, the Kage of the ninja villages! And numerous armed forces—how can a single country not be in chaos when it has so many voices!"
"From this moment forward! I declare that the Land of Fire, the Land of Water, the Land of Snow, and the Land of Wind! Can only have one voice!"
Boom!
Uchiha Yoru's domineering voice echoed in the sky, and everyone stared at this ambitious man with divine Kamui, filled with fear.
"The Land of Wind! You!"
Ōnoki spoke in horror, while Uchiha Yoru's lips curled into a smile, "The Land of Wind has invaded the Land of Fire, starting a war. The moment the war began, the Land of Wind had no reason to exist."
As the dissipating Impure World Reincarnation body faded away, Madara Uchiha, unusually, revealed a look of appreciation, saying, "Junior, you're quite good."
At this moment, Madara Uchiha turned back to look at Hashirama Senju and his brother, a mocking smile on his face. "It seems that whether it's the struggle between clans or their ideologies, the Uchiha have won!"
Hashirama Senju turned serious as he looked at Uchiha Yoru, who had announced the end of the daimyo's rule. "It seems another war is about to break out in the Shinobi World."
"War?" Madara Uchiha's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Hashirama, war has never stopped. This junior is very young. After unifying the Shinobi World, he can at least maintain peace for fifty or sixty years."
"A brief peace!" Hashirama Senju murmured to himself. History had already proven his peace ideals wrong; in just fifty years after his death, three great wars swept across the Shinobi World.
In comparison, Uchiha Yoru launched a Fourth Shinobi World War, yet was able to maintain peace for fifty or sixty years. If you calculate it carefully, a Fourth Shinobi World War could be exchanged for at least fifty years of peace, which seems like a win.
Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju's face was ashen. He had never been so noble about the so-called peace of the Shinobi World. What he saw was the decline of the Senju Clan of Konoha, and the fact that it was his doing.
Now the Uchiha have taken control of Konoha!
"The evil Uchiha, the Shinobi World will only be filled with war because of you, Konoha will once again be engulfed in flames because of you!"
Despite his weakened state, coughing up blood, Hiruzen Sarutobi still wore a hint of madness on his face.
"A brief peace? First Hokage, are you talking about fragile and fleeting lives?!"
Just then, a familiar, hoarse laugh rang in everyone's ears. Orochimaru's figure slowly rose from the ground, licking his lips with his tongue, his snake eyes filled with an eerie light.
"That battle was spectacular."
Orochimaru had arrived long ago and had even been watching the battle from the shadows, but he revealed himself after the First Hokage said those words.
Orochimaru!
The weakened Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Orochimaru's familiar figure and couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression.
The First Hokage, however, sensed the mocking gaze of his snake-like junior and couldn't help but look puzzled. "Junior, do you mean to say?"
Orochimaru chuckled hoarsely, "Since ninjas can possess power like gods, why can't they have the legendary immortal lifespan of gods?"
"Orochimaru, you! You actually researched forbidden techniques! You show no remorse..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly understood. At this moment, he glared at Uchiha Yoru with resentment. If this person were to develop Ninjutsu that could prolong life, when would Konoha ever be able to break free from the control of the evil Uchiha?
"As a teacher who instructs in Ninjutsu, you are far too narrow-minded. You claim to be righteous, but aren't the forbidden and evil techniques I research all inherited from the village? They were even passed down from your teacher, the Second Hokage..."
At this moment, Orochimaru watched his former teacher, Shinobi Hero, grow so pale and powerless in his final moments, and a tear welled up in his eye.
However, at this moment Hiruzen Sarutobi was too weak to speak, and he kept coughing up blood, completely enraged.
The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, narrowed his eyes, staring at his snake-like junior.
"Haha, forget it, Tobirama. We're all dead now, and this junior is pursuing the ideal of peace. Perhaps his path is better than mine."
Perhaps due to the reincarnation of Asura and Indra's Chakra, the effects on Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were significantly reduced.
Especially Hashirama Senju, who laughed heartily with an enlightened attitude. His path had proven everything; while he was still alive, peace existed under the awe-inspiring power of his forces.
But as soon as he left, the war began.
Therefore, he did not think Uchiha Yoru's peace ideals were wrong; he simply felt that they were based on the experience gained from their own practice.
Uchiha Yoru lived a few more years, the Shinobi World would have a few more years of peace, just as it did for him back then.
If the offspring we raise can also maintain this power, then peace will continue in the same way.
"Big brother!"
Tobirama Senju snorted coldly, somewhat annoyed. He still remembered how that brat had stepped on his head, looking so arrogant.
"Cut."
At this moment, Madara Uchiha glanced at Hashirama with a cold smile. "Back then, it was because you didn't listen to me that I unified the Shinobi World. There wouldn't have been so many problems then."
But it's alright, let this brat cause trouble for now. Once his plan succeeds, the Shinobi World will have true and lasting peace, not just temporary peace.
Under the Impure World Reincarnation, the souls of the three began to depart visibly with the beam of light, while Tsunade gazed at her loved ones with tears in her eyes.
"Hey, kid, you'd better keep a close eye on Xiao Gang. Don't let him lose the whole family fortune."
Good grief, what was supposed to be a touching scene was completely overwhelmed by Hashirama Senju's last words before leaving, causing Tsunade to break down completely, her eyes wide with shock.
"This! This is!"
Mei Terumi gasped in shock as three corpses, their true forms revealed, appeared before her. Might Guy, upon seeing this, exclaimed, "They're Jōnin Sarutobi Clan!"
"Wait a minute! These three Jōnin!" Just as Tsunade frowned and realized something was wrong, she saw three lifeless corpses wriggle and then... splat!
In an instant, his body transformed into a giant tree, Tsunade's eyes blazed with fury upon witnessing this.
"They actually injected Grandpa's Wood Style Cells into his body!"
Clearly, in order to unleash the full power of these three legendary Chunin, Hiruzen Sarutobi chose Jōnin as the sacrifice for this Impure World Reincarnation Ninjutsu, and injected them with Wood Style Cells.
Injecting Wood Style Cells sealed his fate, but his Jōnin -like constitution allowed him to hold out for a while longer, so he used this opportunity to Impure World Reincarnation.
This is also the key reason why the three legendary Chunin were able to unleash such terrifying power.
"Old man, you..."
Jiraiya appeared behind the Third Hokage without anyone noticing.
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru coldly said, "You who claim to be righteous do evil things like Danzo. You are utterly hypocritical."
Suddenly, the Kusanagi Sword was swung fiercely, and a sword light flashed. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Hokage Rock, the symbol of Konoha in the distance, and the head of the Third Hokage suddenly shattered.
The statue symbolizing the Third Hokage had an X drawn across its face, and when Hiruzen Sarutobi saw this, his face flushed red and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Pfft!
"Evil..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, slowly closed his eyes. In his final moments, he still failed to eliminate the Uchiha, sacrificing his own family and honor in the process.
Watching the Third, Hiruzen Sarutobi, slowly close his eyes in resentment, it was clear that even at the last moment, he still hadn't realized his problem.
The older they get, the more obsessive they become, especially the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was practically possessed.
Finally Jiraiya sighed softly, looked at Uchiha Yoru, and said in a deep voice, "I will personally bury this old man."
Jiraiya had just returned from the Sarutobi Clan, and at this moment, he didn't know what to say.
The plan to exterminate the clan was a slight modification of the original Uchiha Clan Massacre Plan from the Root. I wonder if it's fair to say that karma is a karmic cycle and retribution is inevitable.
The Fourth Raikage, Ay, and the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Onoki, exchanged a grave glance. They knew that this time, an alliance was necessary, and a much stronger one at that, otherwise they would be unable to withstand the next wave of war launched by Uchiha Yoru.
The turmoil in Konoha gradually subsided. This time, the Sand Ninja's elite forces couldn't even break into the village center before being intercepted.
