The mountains and rivers are silent, and the long wind has subsided.

The formidable Konoha military formation that had just shaken the entire ninja world had all returned to its ranks.

The Steel Release Bloodline Corps formed a fortress as solid as a mountain, with Swift Release Blades standing guard on both sides. Heavy armored vehicles stood imposingly steel, Long-Range Strategic Tailed Beast Missile pointed skyward, their imposing presence overwhelming the entire venue.

Thousands of Konoha Ninja stood at attention, motionless, their iron-blooded military might frozen in the square.

In the center of the plaza, Hiruzen Sarutobi with an extremely solemn expression, bowing and raising his hand. His voice resounded for miles, echoing throughout the entire Hidden Konoha!

"Please inspect Lord Hokage!"

The next second!!

Thousands of Konoha Regular Ninja, bloodline limit soldiers, Heavy Battle Tank Corps, Long-Range Tailed Beast Missile Corps roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens!

"Please inspect Lord Hokage --!!!"

Boom--!!!

A deafening roar shattered the clouds and shook the surrounding landscape!

The wind suddenly stopped, and all was silent except for the earth-shaking shouts of Konoha's people, united as one and filled with awe-inspiring courage!

In the stands, all the leaders of the small countries trembled violently and bowed their heads in fear.

The Third Kazekage Sajie of Sunagakure, Sunasuke; the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Ōnoki; Third Raikage A, stood stiffly with deathly pale faces.

Daimyo faces of the Three Great Nations turned ashen, and they were utterly speechless.

They finally witnessed it with their own eyes--

The Konoha of today is no longer a Shinobi World power in the same dimension as them.

At the summit of the high platform, Kagami Uchiha stood with his hands behind his back, his white robes fluttering in the wind.

His gaze swept indifferently over the Konoha Elite Army below, and he raised his hand to lower it. His voice was not loud, but it clearly resounded throughout the entire arena.

"All troops, return to your positions."

"The Military Review Ceremony."

"The Five Kage Summit officially begins."

As he finished speaking, the various legions of Konoha withdrew in an orderly fashion, and in a short while, the huge venue was transformed into the Five Kage Summit venue.

The Daimyo of various countries, the leaders of major Ninja Village, and all the forces of the Shinobi World sat solemnly in their seats, none daring to breathe loudly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kagami Uchiha slowly walked to the center of the platform, his expression calm, and spoke softly, "Everyone, welcome to Konoha!"

"Today, I have invited you all to gather in Konoha from afar, not simply to celebrate the end of the great battle, but to discuss a major matter concerning the future of the Shinobi World with all the forces present."

"The Second Shinobi World War ended more than three months ago. In this war that lasted for several years, countless innocent civilians from Iwagakure, Sunagakure, Amegakure, Konoha, and many small countries and villages perished, and life was devastated. Whether a large country or a weak nation, everyone truly suffered the pain and hardship brought by the war."

He paused here, his tone becoming somewhat somber.

Have you ever wondered why wars keep repeating themselves?

"I believe the root of the problem lies in the fact that the Shinobi World has never had a truly binding peace agreement, nor has it had a Peacekeeper capable of maintaining order."

"Each country acts independently, harboring its own selfish motives, and is quick to wage war over the slightest disagreement. If this continues, the conflicts will never cease."

"Therefore, today, I propose that all forces in the Shinobi World present unite to form a brand new Joint Organization."

"This organization has only one principle: large nations must not bully small nations, and small nations must not provoke large nations without cause. Nations should help and check each other, and all actions should be taken to Guardian Ninja world."

As soon as he finished speaking, a low murmur rippled through the room.

Is the Hokage of Konoha mentally challenged?

"How could he say something so naive?"

"How can there be true peace in the Shinobi World!"

"Hehe... let's see what other outlandish things this guy can come up with."

Kagami Uchiha didn't pay any attention to the whispers behind his back, but his tone suddenly turned cold:

"Of course, peace requires everyone's joint efforts to maintain. Today, not all forces have attended as scheduled. In my view, those who refuse to participate are unwilling to promote Peace in the Shinobi World, and may even become sinners who disrupt peace and wreak havoc on the Shinobi World in the future!"

"Therefore, those who harbor ulterior motives and are unwilling to unite to build Peace in the Shinobi World will surely face reckoning in the future!"

Upon hearing this, many people in the arena immediately realized what was happening, and their minds invariably turned to the absent Kirigakure and the Third Mizukage of the Land of Water.

Someone in the audience muttered to themselves

"Heh heh, someone's going to be in trouble again..."

"That Third Mizukage from Kirigakure, I heard he was stubbornly insisting it wasn't Kirigakure's business and refused to attend the meeting. Now he's probably going to get accused by the Hokage."

"Who cares? Let the dogs fight each other!"

At this moment, Kagami Uchiha's expression changed, and his tone became even colder as he continued speaking.

"Although the war has ended, the countries affected by it are still in dire need of reconstruction. Yet, many who committed heinous crimes during this great war have not yet been brought to justice."

"As you all know, the Tailed Beast are natural disasters in the Shinobi World. They don't intentionally slaughter humans, but they are born with the terrifying power to destroy all living beings."

"Over the long course of time, ninja civilization has continuously developed, giving rise to the concept of Jinchūriki. The original purpose of Jinchūriki was to guide and control the Tailed Beast, restraining their power, rather than recklessly unleashing their power to slaughter the Tailed Beast."

"During the Second Shinobi World War, our Konoha successfully captured two Jinchūriki."

"First, there's Bunpuku One-Tail Jinchūriki Monk Bunpuku Sunagakure. Second, there's Four-Tail Jinchūriki Roshi from Iwagakure."

At this point, Kagami Uchiha's gaze fell directly on Rasa, who was seated in Sunagakure, and then turned to Ōnoki, who was seated in Iwagakure, his voice resounding.

"These two Jinchūriki, in this great battle, disregarded the lives of countless people, recklessly unleashing the ferocious power of the Tailed Beast, causing numerous civilian and ninja casualties. Their sins are truly heinous."

"Today, before all the Daimyo and Ninja Village leaders of the Shinobi World, I want to ask you all—what punishment should these two people receive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Seriously?

Is Konoha really going to put the Jinchūriki of Iwagakure and Sunagakure in trial in front of the entire Shinobi World?

Everyone felt that the Shinobi World today was completely different from the Shinobi World of the past.

Everything is developing in a direction they can't understand. What will become of the Shinobi World?

For a moment, everyone's heart sank.

In contrast, Sajie's face was ashen, and his fists were clenched tightly. Ōnoki, on the other hand, had a furrowed brow and his breathing became heavier.

Kagami Uchiha's question immediately placed Sunagakure and Iwagakure under the intense scrutiny of everyone!

That damned Kagami Uchiha, he really killed my spirit!

That born evil Uchiha brat!
