The Birth of the Black Horn Domain

Two days later, the Ninja World Tournament was held as scheduled.

The Hokage Building, second floor, large conference room.

Sunlight filtered through the half-open curtains, casting dappled patterns on the dark wood of the conference table.

The leaders of the major and minor ninja villages, who had arrived early, sat silently in their seats. No one dared to whisper to each other. The entire venue was quiet and heavy, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

As a series of footsteps sounded, their gazes turned in unison to the doorway—the two deputy ministers of the Military Affairs Department they had met in recent days, Mito Uzumaki and Uchiha Shikata, the newly appointed secretary-general Minako Uzumaki, and the Konoha Hokage Uchiha Takeyasu, who put them under immense pressure.

The four true high-ranking officials of Konoha.

"Close the door. The Ninja World Conference will now begin."

The entire Ninja World Continent revolves under his will. After the initial excitement, Uchiha Takeyasu became bored and listless. Instead of issuing rules to these people, he would rather spend more time with his increasingly playful secretary, Minako.

So he said it succinctly.

"From the time the First Konoha established the one-country-one-village system until the end of the Second Shinobi World War, the battles in the Ninja World were nothing more than small-scale chaotic battles and large-scale armed conflicts; there was never true peace."

"Since everyone wants to fight and believes that their village's strength can bring them more benefits, then Konoha will give everyone the space to develop their talents."

Looking at the silent yet deeply moved hall, Uchiha Takeyasu said calmly.

"The Land of Lightning will become a chaotic Black Horn Domain. Each village can freely send ninjas below the Kage Level to garrison it. Whether they are allies or enemies, the amount of territory they occupy in the Black Horn Domain Black Horn Domain Region will represent the benefits each village gains there, as well as their status in the Ninja World Continent."

The people below immediately stirred, especially the Three Great Shinobi Villages of Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure, which had been defeated by Uchiha Takeyasu.

"Quiet!"

Minako Uzumaki, dressed in an elegant kimono, narrowed her eyes. Her massive Chakra, carrying the savage aura of Tailed Beast, suppressed the entire venue to the point where you could hear a pin drop.

Another Jinchūriki-level shikigami!

Even with the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails, which has yet to appear, Konoha's overall strength would still be enough to crush the entire Ninja World, even without Uchiha Takeyasu.

The village leaders, understanding this, looked increasingly troubled.

Hanzo of the Salamander from Amegakure, with his Strong Kage strength, ranks second only to the Three Great Shinobi Villages.

Although he had previously been in contact with Uchiha Takeyasu through the introductions of Uchiha Rai and the other two, and had vaguely learned some information.

Upon hearing this, Hanzo of the Salamander, his excitement still evident in his voice, stood up and asked, "Hokage-sama, what exactly does this 'status' in the Ninja World refer to?"

"I've always been a fair person; I believe that one should have a position commensurate with their abilities."

"The sacred and inviolable rules of noble families are a joke to me. Similarly, past glory does not equate to present strength."

"If you have the ability, I can also entrust the interests of the Land of Earth, the Land of Water, and the Land of Wind to you."

"Hokage-sama! This is not right!"

The Fourth Tsuchikage, Roshi, immediately spoke up, "How can the interests of our own country be handed over to other ninja villages? The guardians of the Land of Earth are Iwagakure now, and they will be Iwagakure in the future!"

"Are you done talking?"

Uchiha Takeyasu looked at the Fourth Tsuchikage, who was wearing the Tsuchikage's robes, a purple inner lining, and a breastplate, with a solemn and impassioned Tsuchikage.

Without even needing the Mangekyo, a single Three Tomoe of light unleashed terrifying Dojutsu Power that shattered the Tsuchikage's will. He then spoke softly.

"Go outside Konoha and find a place to kill yourself."

"Oh, right, bury your own hole beforehand."

Watching the Fourth Tsuchikage like a puppet on a string, everyone in the hall felt a chill run down their spines. An atmosphere of shared sorrow permeated the hall, and no one dared to look at the person in the lead again.

"This meeting isn't for you to give me your opinions."

"If you're willing to listen to and do what I say, then everyone's happy."

"If you're unwilling to listen and unwilling to do anything, that's fine too. People die every day in the Ninja World anyway, so a few more deaths won't be a problem."

Uchiha Takeyasu crossed his hands and rested his chin on them, his crimson Sharingan turning into indifferent black eyes.

"The division of territory in the Black Horn Domain is done in five-year cycles. After the division, if any ninja village objects, a best-of-three Kage Level duel can be held."

"Also, a word of advice: don't secretly send Kage Level into the Black Horn Domain. If I find out, you can guess what will happen to you."

"Kage Level cultivator who advances to the Black Horn Domain Black Horn Domain only has one chance to make a move there. After that, they must leave. If they don't want to leave, then they won't be able to leave at all."

"Ninja villages unwilling to participate in the war can also submit a document to Konoha to disband their village directly."

After saying that, Uchiha Takeyasu smiled and said, "Let me tell you all again, Konoha will be promoting the Chakra Refining Technique. You all need to keep up, because we will be entering an era where everyone is a ninja."

"The ninjas will establish their own nation and become the true masters of this continent, not just descendants of the so-called ancestral emperor."

"I have finished speaking. The details will be announced by the Konoha Secretariat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Takeyasu's shadow Shadow Clone turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.

Uchiha Takeyasu, whose true form was in the Paradise Secret Realm, dodged the punch thrown by Minamoto Kaori, and with a wave of his hand, pushed the girl backward, causing her to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Kaori, I'm also using Genin skills, so you'd better do your best!"

As soon as her small, Minamoto Kaori felt a sharp pain. Hearing Uchiha Takeyasu's words, she stubbornly patted her clothes and stood up, only to have a finger pressed against her forehead and pushed her back down.

"Kaori, when fighting against opponents of the same level, there's no room for you to worry about clothes."

"Ya ya ya!"

As the Minamoto Kaori erupted, Kaori Minamoto's training clothes billowed with overflowing life energy, her beautiful, smooth black hair cascading behind her. With her hands on the ground, she kicked out at Uchiha Takeyasu.

With a bang, seeing the wooden stake that had materialized in front of her, Minamoto Kaori's angry eyes instantly turned blank, and then she was picked up by Uchiha Takeyasu, who appeared behind her, and carried her in a princess carry.

"Kaori, that was the Substitution Genin, one of the most basic Ninjutsu for Substitution Technique."

"Darling, being a ninja is such a cheat!"

Minamoto Kaori Uchiha Takeyasu using her Genin -level skills, couldn't help but let out a deflated sound.

"You."

After affectionately kissing the girl's forehead, Uchiha Takeyasu, "If Kaori were to say that, the other ninjas would be so jealous they'd commit suicide."

"Um?"

Minamoto Kaori leaned against her husband's chest, letting out a puzzled hum.

"The power of the Gelel Ore Vein is extremely strong. If Kaori continues to absorb it, she will become one of the strongest on the continent, comparable to the Sage of Sage of Six Paths."

Minamoto Kaori's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but ask, "Darling, how long will it take?"

"That depends on how hard Kaori tries."

"Darling, continue now!"

Seeing that Minamoto Kaori had regained her fighting Minamoto Kaori, Uchiha Takeyasu continued to teach her step by step.

When it was lunchtime, the two returned to Konoha. With Uchiha Hikari's slightly flushed face and Uchiha Naori's reproachful gaze, Minamoto Kaori, covered in sweat and exhausted, took a shower in the washroom.

The warm water flowed over Minamoto Kaori's petite body, making Uchiha Takeyasu unable to help but compare her to Minako Uzumaki, and he could only think to himself that the future was promising.

"Hikari, you said there are two Toad claiming to be from Mount Myōboku, or perhaps the immortals, trying to find me through you?"

After leaving the restroom, the two changed into casual clothes and went to the dining room.

Having regained some strength, Minamoto Kaori blushed and sat down on the side of Uchiha Naori.

Sitting on the other chair, Uchiha Takeyasu listened attentively as Uchiha Hikari recounted the events of the morning, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"It seems that the Toad from yesterday was just a reconnaissance outpost of Mount Myōboku, and today the main force has arrived."

"Perfect timing, I'd also like to see their Senjutsu Chakra."
