The Dust Settles

Regarding the issue of unifying the Ninja World, Gen had discussed it with himself and others beforehand. If the enemy was only the various countries in the Ninja World, then doing so would be fine. However, the Ōtsutsuki Clan from beyond the heavens could invade the Ninja World at any time. Under such circumstances, unifying the Ninja World would require too much effort and time to deal with rebellions, cultural integration, and managing affairs in various regions.

The Ninja World has always been a world where strength reigns supreme. With strength, you have the final say in everything; without strength, even if you unify the Ninja World Otsutsuki will invade the next, and the entire Ninja World will be destroyed.

"You... you'll regret this!" Damn it, if I'd known it would end like this, I shouldn't have teamed up with these unreliable people to start the war. These lunatics of Konoha, are they trying to drag everyone down with them for their ambitions?

Ōnoki could already foresee how the various daimyo would respond to Konoha's actions. It was inevitable that he would gather the resources of all the daimyo in the Ninja World, win over various small countries and wandering ninjas, and even rally the internal ninja clans and discontented elements of the major ninja villages to fight against Konoha's rise.

At that point, the major ninja villages probably won't even be able to maintain their current situation. After all, with Konoha's example, the daimyo will only be more wary of the ninja group. In that case, the ninjas will either be scattered into ninja clans again, or directly become groups of bounty hunters.

Of course, this is assuming the daimyo of each country wins. If Konoha wins, the outcome will be different. However, regardless of whether the daimyo or Konoha wins, Iwagakure will have no place in the Ninja World anymore. This situation absolutely cannot happen. For now, we will surrender to Konoha. Once the daimyo of each country unite to rise up, I will lead Iwagakure Kumogakure it.

"Alright, since Konoha has already made its own plans, then I won't say any more. Iwagakure... surrenders!" Hmph, foolish Konoha, let you be smug for a few days. Victory will ultimately belong to Iwagakure.

"Hahaha, a wise man submits to circumstances. Ōnoki, I, Uchiha Fugaku, accept your Iwagakure's surrender on behalf of Konoha. Men, apply the seal to our Lord Tsuchikage!" Although Ōnoki had already surrendered, Uchiha Fugaku, being cautious, still had the military sealers go through the formalities for him.

"Clan Chief Fugaku, now that Iwagakure has surrendered, would you be so kind as to satisfy my curiosity? What are your plans regarding the subsequent actions of the various daimyo?"

In past Ninja World Wars, various countries had considered annihilating other ninja villages, but ultimately they were deterred by the power of the daimyo. Even if they achieved great victories, they could only seek more benefits in terms of resources and land.

If everyone did what Konoha is doing now, the Land of Rain would have been Hanzo of the Salamander was only Demigod, not a god. Apart from him, the Land of Rain had almost no other capable ninjas. Defending a country is not something that can be done by a single top-tier ninja.

"Well, of course we'll deal with whatever comes our way. They're just daimyo. If they die young, Konoha won't mind sending them to meet the Sage of Six Paths." If those fat sheep really dare to challenge Konoha's authority, maybe my Uchiha Fugaku family can also become daimyo like Gen.

It has to be said that Uchiha Gen's actions have stirred the ambitions of most ninjas. In the past, they would never have dared to even think about coveting the position of Daimyo. Now, with Uchiha Gen's successful example, it can be said that the ninjas' fixed mindset has been liberated.

"Heh, come and see? I hope you can hold them off, lest you get beaten to death." Konoha... just bones in a graveyard, nothing to worry about. You should be thinking about how to take over the Ninja World after Konoha's fall.

Land of Lightning, Kumogakure

Boom boom boom~

A series of loud bangs followed, and a large plume of smoke rose into the air.

"Hmph, what a pointless struggle! I am Madara Uchiha!" Looking down at the ruins beneath his feet, Madara Uchiha felt as if he had returned to the Warring States period.

"Uncle Madara, we still have a lot of things to do. Stop pretending. What kind of skill is it to bully these trash? Hurry up and come with me to the next place." Kaguya, Yuki always had takoyaki in her hand, was speechless at this old man who liked to act cool. If it weren't for her boss's orders, she wouldn't bother taking this guy around everywhere.

"Hmph, these young people nowadays have no manners at all. They should have some respect for their seniors, you bastards!" I am the legendary Asura of the Ninja World. Don't think that just because you have the Ten-Tails sealed inside you, know the Flying Thunder God Technique, possess the Corpse Bone Pulse, and have a kind of eye technique that is no less than the Rinnegan, I am afraid of you. I just don't want to be known as someone who bullies juniors.

"Politeness? Respect? You're just a tool~" Yuki looked at the man in his tacky Sengoku-era armor with disdain. She was... well... extremely disappointed in this legendary Asura of the Ninja World before her.

"Ah! You brat, you've gone too far! I only have a working relationship with that Uchiha Gen." Madara Uchiha rising from Yuki Kaguya's body.

"Alright, enough talk. We still need to make a trip to Iwagakure. Let Elder Setsuna and the Setsuna look after things here."

Seeing that the Kumogakure members were all hanging from the trees, Kaguya Yuki grabbed Madara Uchiha's shoulders Flying Thunder God to head to the next location.

Several months later, in Konohagakure, at the Uchiha Clan Compound!

"How did things go? Is the Daimyo still causing trouble?" Tsunade, holding the child in her arms and looking at the man beside her with a happy expression.

"Hehe, with Kaguya Corps and the Uchiha Clan in charge, they can't cause any trouble even if they want to. Now that even the Underground Exchange has been shut down, the Guardian Ninja around the daimyo are even less of a threat." Playing with his newborn daughter, Uchiha Gen paid no attention to the struggling daimyo.

"Is that so? The Ninja World is finally at peace. My great-grandfather's dream has finally come true. Xiao Ye will be able to live in a Ninja World without war from now on." Now that everything is settled, the Ninja World will usher in a long period of peace. Should I have a few more children with Gen? Otherwise, the days ahead will be too boring.

"Peaceful? Not necessarily~" Gazing at the deep starry sky outside the window, Uchiha Gen, as a transmigrator, knew that there were even more powerful enemies there.

The End~
