Konoha, Hokage Building ago.
The huge Plaza was surrounded by temporary steps to form a circular venue.
Flags from all over Shinobi World were planted around.
The sand-colored flag of Land of Wind, the blue flag of Land of Water, the moiré flag of Land of Lightning, and the rock-pattern flag of Land of Earth.
Together with the flags of more than twenty small countries, they were lined up.
The flag fluttered slightly in the wind, but no flag dared to be higher than the flag of fire of Konoha.
Tsunade stood on the high platform in the center of the venue, with long golden hair hanging behind her shoulders, and lavender Rinnegan glowing dimly in the sunlight.
Her eyes swept across the people in the audience.
Daimyo of the Land of Wind, Land of Water daimyo agents, Land of Lightning newly appointed Raikage, Ōnoki, Dodai, Bunpuku, daimyo and village chiefs of various small countries.
Everyone is here.
No one spoke.
Tsunade spoke, "The war is over. From today on, Shinobi World will no longer have wars between countries."
Her voice was not loud, but it spread clearly to every corner:
"I declare that Shinobi World unifies. Konoha establishes 'Konoha Shinobi World Alliance'."
"Each country retains its autonomy, but military, diplomatic, and war decisions are all under the unified jurisdiction of Konoha."
The audience was so quiet that the only sound was the wind blowing the flag.
No one refuted, no one stood up.
Land of Lightning The new Raikage is a man in his forties.
He stood silently in front of his seat, clenching and unclenching his fists, and finally said nothing.
Ōnoki lowered his head, holding a wooden stick with his hands folded.
It was as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed, but the slight rise and fall of his chest showed that he was far from calm.
Daimyo of the Land of Wind has no right to object. He was saved by Bunpuku. Survival is already a gift.
Tsunade did not pause. "Daimos and actors from various countries can retain symbolic power. All major matters of Shinobi World will be decided by Konoha."
After she finished speaking, Land of Iron Mifune was the first to stand up. "Land of Iron, I would like to join the alliance."
Then the representatives of Land of Waterfalls, Land of Bears, and Land of Stars stood up one after another and expressed their opinions.
The sounds came and went, one after another, pushing towards the center of the venue like a tide.
Tsunade watched this scene calmly, without feeling proud or relaxed.
She knew in her heart that these countries were only forced to bow by force.
It will take time to truly return to your heart, but the general direction has been set.
As long as Six Paths of Pain is around for a day, no one will dare to make waves.
"About Tailed Beast."
Tsunade's tone dropped a few degrees.
"From today on, all Tailed Beast will be centrally managed by Konoha."
After saying these words, there was finally a slight fluctuation in the air.
Land of Lightning The new Raikage suddenly raised his head. "Tailed Beast is part of the military strength of each country--"
"Not anymore."
Tsuna Teuchi told him in a calm tone that was almost indifferent.
"You should be glad that I am informing you today, not asking you."
The new Raikage's lips moved, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything anymore.
He felt the heavy weight behind Tsunade's words.
That's not a threat, that's a statement.
Within a week, Jinchūriki and Tailed Beast from each village were sent to Konoha one after another.
One-Tail Bunpuku arrived on his own initiative.
Two-Tails was escorted and handed over to the queue by Land of Lightning.
Three-Tails has long been sealed.
Four-Tails Roshi followed Iwagakure's team silently.
Five-Tails and Six-Tails were not handed over.
Iwagakure said that Five-Tails lost control and escaped during the war and is missing.
Land of Water stated that Six-Tails had been secretly transferred long ago, and even they could not find any trace of it.
When Tsunade heard the report, he happened to be in the Tailed Beast sealing facility of Konoha Back Mountain.
Seeing Three-Tails being sealed into a special container, the lavender Rinnegan narrowed slightly:
"Five-Tails and Six-Tails... are missing?"
Orochimaru stood behind her and said in a low voice:
"The statements made by the two villages don't sound like lies, but the coincidence is a bit deliberate."
"No matter what the truth is, collect those who can be collected first."
Tsunade did not pursue the case.
"Seven-Tails was crippled by Deva Path before, Eight-Tails Blue B has been surrendered, and Nine-Tails is in the hands of Grandma Mito."
"Except for the missing two, everyone else is here."
She turned around and walked out of the sealing facility.
At the end of the large open space, Tailed Beast and Chakra were quietly tumbling in the container, like tamed beasts.
Tsunade glanced at it and said nothing more.
Late at night, Tsunade stood on the rooftop of Hokage Building.
The wind blew her blond hair, and the lavender Rinnegan shimmered in the moonlight.
She looked at the dark Kage Rock in the distance, and the silent faces of Shinobi World Conference during the day echoed in her ears.
Those lowered heads, those clenched fists and then unclenched hands.
Everything was as she expected.
Land of Earth, Land of Lightning, Land of Wind, Land of Water, together with other small countries, none of them can change the general trend.
Now the surface of Shinobi World has been normalized.
As for the missing Tailed Beast at both ends...
Tsunade closed his eyes and exhaled slightly.
Don't worry, it will surface sooner or later.
The most urgent thing now is to do one more thing.
Become Hokage!
