Uchiha and Ōnoki fought to a draw. Iwagakure was located just outside the Land of Fire, while Uchiha watched Ōnoki panting from the edge of the village.
Ōnoki was speechless. How could Uchiha be like a perpetual motion machine? He could keep up with his movements, and each time the force was exactly the same as his own. He truly lived up to his name, Uchiha.
Uchiha remained silent, shaking his head. This guy is no good either, so boring. He then looked at the Iwagakure troops, sighed, and said that he had promised Uchiha Kō not to act recklessly, otherwise he would have found some fun with this unit!
He looked in the direction where Uchiha Kō was advancing, wondering if they were having a good time, but he himself was very unhappy.
The next day
Following the map given to them by Ōnoki Uchiha Kō and his group arrived below the capital of the Land of Earth. The guards above the capital were shocked and immediately closed the city gates, nocked arrows, and aimed them at Uchiha Kō and his companions.
And someone went to inform the Daimyo, Daimyo eyes widened in surprise, "What? Where's Ōnoki? Where the hell has he gone?!"
"Reporting to the Daimyo, Ōnoki has encountered Uchiha and is unable to advance an inch!" a messenger reported.
"Uchiha!! Are you kidding me! Wasn't that guy dead?" The Daimyo didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Ninja World; he only cared about his country's finances and administration.
"It's absolutely true, Your Daimyo!" the messenger exclaimed hastily, kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"Hmph! Immediately tell Ōnoki to withdraw the troops and defend the capital. The rest of you, come with me to the city wall to block the Konoha Ninja's attack."
Outside the city gates, Uchiha Kō coldly watched everything unfold. He waved his hand, and Maruboshi Kosuke stepped forward Hand Seals: "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A gigantic water dragon appeared out of nowhere, its body larger than the city gate. The samurai and soldiers of the Land of Earth's capital felt their legs go weak, thinking, "Holy crap, isn't this water dragon projectile a bit too big?!"
Ignoring their surprise, Maruboshi Kosuke controlled the Water Dragon Bullet and charged towards the capital's gates!
With a roar, the water dragon charged towards the gate, shattering it in an instant. The water dragon transformed into a vast ocean, flooding the capital city. In a short time, the entire capital was filled with water.
The guards on the city wall quickly retreated, preparing to leave with the Daimyo. As long as they survived, they could always rebuild!
As a result, Uchiha Kō clapped his hands together and Great Fire Annihilation Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation! A massive fireball rushed into the capital, instantly evaporating the accumulated water, and the scorching steam burned the soldiers!
Instantly, cries of agony filled the air. After the water on the ground evaporated, the group, led by Uchiha Kō, marched towards the capital of the Land of Earth.
This was a one-sided massacre by Konoha. In less than thirty minutes, Uchiha Kō and his men blocked the entrance to the Daimyo. The Daimyo was covered in sweat.
This is way too fast! What should I do? He was a little confused, his heart pounding. Was he going to die here today?
Uchiha Kō laughed, "Daimyo, come out!"
The Daimyo of the Land of Earth was ashen-faced, but he maintained his royal composure perfectly. He suppressed his fear and walked towards the door.
"How dare you! You're just a Hokage, how dare you disrespect the Daimyo! You've got some nerve!" the Daimyo's steward roared.
With a flash of light, the steward's head was severed from his body.
Uchiha Kō frowned. "Sakumo! You're so rude! Who gave you permission to do this!" On the surface, Uchiha Kō was angrily rebuking Hatake Sakumo, but in his heart, he was secretly applauding him.
"I'm sorry, Lord Hokage. That bastard insulted you. I couldn't stand it and acted impulsively." Hatake Sakumo knelt down.
Uchiha Kō glanced at him. "You've frightened our Daimyo! It wouldn't be right not to punish you. This is a one-month salary deduction. Do you have any objections?"
Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly. "No objections."
He doesn't live off a salary, and besides, the Lord Hokage is clearly satisfied with his actions, so he's happy.
Uchiha Kō nodded and looked at the Daimyo. "Daimyo, I'm sorry to have startled you. I heard that Daimyo were misled into declaring war on Konoha, is that right?"
Uchiha Kō stepped forward, grabbed the Daimyo's arm, and smiled.
The Daimyo, sweating profusely, stammered, "Yes... yes... Hokage, I was manipulated."
"Oh? May I ask who it is, Daimyo?" Uchiha Kō asked with a smile, then walked behind a minister and glanced at the Daimyo. "Is it him?"
The Daimyo's heart pounded wildly; this was his second son! Just as he was about to say something, Uchiha Kō unleashed a punch, instantly killing the Daimyo's second son.
"You..." Daimyo gasped, he hadn't expected Uchiha Kō to attack so suddenly.
"Oh? I killed the wrong Daimyo?" Uchiha Kō laughed.
"No... no." Daimyo shook his head, then lowered his head, his eyes filled with resentment.
Uchiha Kō sneered. Of course he knew who he had killed. He had spent the entire night reviewing intelligence and knew everything about the families of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth.
The Daimyo's advisors glared angrily. "Now that the Hokage has killed the one who instigated the Daimyo, shouldn't we withdraw our troops?"
"Withdraw your troops? We, the Konoha Ninja, have traveled a long way to the Land of Earth to seek justice. Do you think that killing a person who incited a Daimyo is enough to resolve this?" Uchiha Kō said calmly.
"Daimyo, I've heard that your treasure trove contains many fine items..." Uchiha Kō chuckled.
The Daimyo of the Land of Earth turned pale. He knew what Uchiha Kō was referring to, but he didn't want to agree. He gritted his teeth.
"Lead the way," Uchiha Kō said calmly.
The Daimyo remained unmoved, only clenching his fists and trembling all over. Seeing this, Uchiha Kō laughed and walked behind another person, his third son.
He struck again, killing him instantly. Blood spurted onto the Daimyo's face, causing him to momentarily lose his senses.
"Daimyo, I actually received information that it wasn't just one person who instigated you to declare war on Konoha; there were six people in total," Uchiha Kō said coldly.
The six people he mentioned were the six sons of the Daimyo of the Land of Earth present. Two of them are now dead, leaving four remaining.
If Uchiha Kō continues his killing spree, he will have no successors left!
The Daimyo gasped, "Please come with me, Lord Hokage." With that, the Daimyo made up his mind: money can be earned back, but without his sons, there is no hope left.
So he chose to lead Uchiha Kō to the treasure vault. The Daimyo's advisors were furious, but helpless, because Uchiha Kō and his more than two thousand Jonin were too powerful.
Moreover, at this moment Ōnoki is entangled by Uchiha and cannot break free at all. If they encounter Uchiha Kō now, even if they charge with their lives, it will be to no avail.
Uchiha Kō smiled. "A Daimyo man submits to circumstances. I, Uchiha Kō, will not forget Comrade Daimyo's straightforwardness. Please lead the way quickly."
The two thousand ninjas were very excited, looking at the Daimyo with a feeling of "you're such a nice person."
Uchiha Kō had the clan leaders follow him, followed by the elites of each clan. These people were responsible for packing the bags.
