Taking the attack on Konoha as an excuse.
On the very second day after the Ninja Way Tournament concluded, Second Hokage Tobirama Senju used the guise of inspection and protection to temporarily detain all the Daimyo and nobles from various nations who had attended the event.
Next, under the name of Konoha, he issued a mandatory search warrant to all nations and ninja villages.
He demanded that every country cooperate with searches for any remnants of the three-village faction who might be in hiding.
Naturally.
Once this order came out, anyone with clear vision knew that Konoha was making a mountain out of a molehill, attempting to use the opportunity to interfere with and annex other countries and villages!
Some even suspected that this Konoha attack was an act directed and performed by the evil Tobirama Senju himself!
However, suspicion was one thing.
Having the guts to oppose Konoha was quite another.
After witnessing Konoha's true foundation and the terrifying violence that instantly suppressed the Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki, many of the ninjas returning to their respective countries immediately persuaded their own factions to abandon resistance, too afraid to be enemies with Konoha.
As for the countries unwilling to cooperate, they were stalling for time by taking a roundabout approach and placing their hopes on the powerful Sunagakure.
After all, apart from Konoha, Sunagakure was currently the only one of the Five Great Villages left.
They had even swept both the championship and runner-up positions at the Ninja Way Tournament, vastly enhancing Sunagakure's formidable image in the eyes of countries around the world!
If Sunagakure could be the first to stand up and carry the banner against Konoha's tyranny, he believed many other countries and villages would surely respond in kind.
Only.
Eyebrow-raising news spread out very soon.
