First, he had single-handedly defeated the Fourth Raikage and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki's AB combination. Then, on his own, he had severely injured the Third Hokage and Jiraiya's master-disciple duo. And that was not all—facing an army of ten thousand Konoha Ninja, he had led just over two thousand Iwagakure Ninja to victory!
The might he had displayed far surpassed even that of the Third Raikage, who had vaguely been known as the strongest man in the shinobi world more than a decade ago!
Such terrifying strength was enough to make everyone think of Konoha's First Hokage—Hashirama Senju—as well as the Uchiha Clan's ancestor, the former Shinobi Asura—Uchiha Madara!
With insufficient intelligence and a level of understanding that was far too low,

From their perspective, Shōji had reached the heights of those two men. Even so, that alone was enough to fill everyone with dread. It had been less than fifty years since the era of those two!
Was the entire shinobi world about to face such a brutal situation once again!?
"Join the war, Mizukage-sama. Even if we must pay with our lives, we have to stop Iwagakure and stop that Lord Fourth Tsuchikage. Today it is Sunagakure; next will be Kumogakure, then Konohagakure, and finally Kirigakure. That young Lord Fourth Tsuchikage will never stop. We must unite and put an end to his atrocities!"
Land of Water, Kirigakure, inside the Mizukage Building.
Genji, who had rarely taken the initiative to come here, sat in the Mizukage's office. Wearing a solemn expression, he looked at Terumi Mei in the seat of honor and spoke in a low voice.
"Yes, Genji-sama. I understand!"
A cold expression also appeared on Terumi Mei's stunningly beautiful face.
An alliance was one thing.
Being destroyed and annexed
