Hyuga Chiba Returned to His Loyal Sunagakure

Chiba currently only needs an endless supply of chakra to support the consumption of his Tenseigan Chakra Mode.

In this situation, the higher the potential of the new Tailed Beast, the better.

What's more, collecting Tailed Beasts and activating the regular Sage Mode was originally part of his plan.

"It's time to go out and deal with things outside."

After calming down, Chiba's mind moved, and his consciousness returned to the real world.

"After this, my Tenseigan's progress towards Second Awakening has increased by another 30%. Adding the previous 20%, that makes it 50%----"

After sensing the progress of the Tenseigan's Second Awakening, Chiba became even more delighted.

Compared to the new Tailed Beast that has not yet been truly gestated, the Tenseigan is his true foundation.

"However, the downside is that the power of the Tenseigan is too immense. Even Rasa, Orochimaru's Kage Level, and Tailed Beasts like Shukaku are no longer my opponents."

Chiba couldn't help but think regretfully: "As I no longer lack chakra, the number of people who can threaten me has decreased."

"Otherwise, after this incident, I should have been able to obtain more progress for the Tenseigan's Second Awakening."

Of course, Chiba would not deliberately put himself in a difficult situation or create strong enemies that he cannot deal with just to gain more awakening progress.

As for what happens next, he would leave it to time.

"Then now----"

Returning to his senses, Chiba's gaze fell back to the surrounding Sand Ninja, as well as Rasa and Orochimaru. He declared in an irrefutable tone: "From today onwards, the entire Sunagakure will belong to me as spoils of war, obeying my every command."

"Also---- Orochimaru, as the price for sparing your life, the Otogakure you established will also become part of my territory from now on."

"Who agrees? Who opposes?"

In fact, Hyuga Chiba's two biggest goals currently are: first, to continuously improve his strength to deal with the future threat of the Otsutsuki Clan.

Second, to see what his Tenseigan will look like after its Second Awakening, Third Awakening----

And these two goals are complementary.

Conversely, Hyuga Chiba himself has no great interest in ruling Sunagakure or unifying the Ninja World.

But since the atmosphere had reached this point, if he didn't do something, he would have the illusion of having "come for nothing."

Whether it was influenced by the "Unification of the World" ideology from his previous life, seeing the Ninja World divided into different villages and countries, constantly fighting each other in a "decentralized" and "chaotic" situation, he always felt a sense of unease.

Of course, this didn't mean Hyuga Chiba would act as a nanny for Sunagakure, Otogakure, or even the entire Ninja World.

If they truly became a burden, he would abandon them without hesitation.

And at this moment, as Chiba's words fell, the entire venue fell silent, and then erupted into an uproar.

"What did he say?"

"Our Sunagakure is now his... spoils of war?"

"What a strange phrasing!"

"Are you kidding me? Does having power mean you can do whatever you want?"

"But he does possess the power to do whatever he wants."

"Are our entire Sunagakure going to become Hyuga Chiba's personal property?"

"The Daimyo of the Land of Wind will definitely not agree to this!"

"I have a plan. As long as we rename Sunagakure to 'Sand Village', won't we not have to worry about Sunagakure becoming Hyuga Chiba's spoils of war?"

"Good idea, but I'd like to make a slight modification. We'll rename you to 'Sand Village', and you will become Hyuga Chiba's spoils of war."

"Are you guys sane?"

For the Sand Ninja of Sunagakure, everything that happened today was too fast, too inexplicable.

What caught them most off guard was that one moment they were "citizens" of Sunagakure, and the next they had become part of Hyuga Chiba's spoils of war?

In principle, no Sand Ninja would ever agree to such humiliating terms.

This was far more excessive than any so-called treaty that ceded territory and national sovereignty.

But unfortunately, "principle" was now in Hyuga Chiba's hands.

"Orochimaru-sama!"

"Are we really going to let Otogakure become part of Hyuga Chiba's territory?"

"Orochimaru-sama, that's your life's work, our home as the Sound Ninja!"

"And from what Hyuga Chiba implied, even if we give up Otogakure, he doesn't seem like he'll let us go?"

The Sound Four, at this moment, were all asking Orochimaru in extreme panic.

If they had known Hyuga Chiba was so terrifying, they should have persuaded Orochimaru to target him from the start.

After all, Hyuga Chiba's target from the beginning was the One-Tail Shukaku of Sunagakure.

Orochimaru and his group were only temporarily cooperating with Sunagakure to deal with Konoha, and there were no substantial benefits. Why would they risk their lives?

"Lord Orochimaru, as long as you can escape, I am willing to use my life to stop Hyuga Chiba."

Kimimaro said to Orochimaru with firm eyes.

"Escape? Why should I escape?"

Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue, licked his face, and said with a hint of excitement, "You fools, if Chiba-kun really wanted to kill us, we would have been dead already."

"And in front of his Tenseigan, even if you sacrifice your life, Kimimaro, you wouldn't be able to stop him."

"Rather than escaping, I want to know what Chiba-kun intends to do next?"

Chiba had clearly had the chance to kill all of them earlier but chose to show mercy.

After successfully obtaining Shukaku's Chakra, he could have left directly, but he proposed at this moment that Sunagakure become his spoils of war and Otogakure become part of his territory.

All of this made Orochimaru believe that Hyuga Chiba likely had a terrifying goal that no one could have predicted.

Compared to a certain "Kami" who possessed another God's Eye, constantly shouted "pain," but whose Akatsuki organization was still not well-known, Orochimaru was now more interested in Hyuga Chiba before him.

The most crucial point was that Orochimaru couldn't die easily, so he had the luxury to take risks.

As for Otogakure, and Kimimaro, and the Sound Four?

They were merely pawns that Orochimaru had established or cultivated for his own purposes.

Even if they were all gone, he wouldn't care too much.

"So now... what choice will you make?"

Quickly snapping back from the various thoughts in his mind, Orochimaru's gaze fell back on Rasa, whose face was extremely grim.
