Two days later.
Konoha Frontline Camp, Main Tent.
A huge Shinobi World map is spread in the center of the long table.
In addition to the senior executives of Konoha, there were also a few trembling figures sitting at the end of the long table.
Those are Grass Ninja, Takigakure Shinobi, Frost Ninja and other temporary representatives of the Xiaonin Village.
They say they are representatives, but they are actually a group of survivors who were frightened out of their wits.
These senior officials of the Xiaonin Village either died in the previous battles, or were bloody suppressed by Konan of Amegakure due to their resistance, so they reported directly to Pure Land.
Above the main position.
Uchiha Yao scanned the entire audience with indifferent eyes.
That invisible sense of oppression made everyone present feel numb.
"Everyone is here."
"Then let's get started."
Uchiha Yao stood up, and at some point there was a stick in his hand, and he gently tapped on those gray areas.
On the map, the territory of Land of Fire has been marked in eye-catching red.
And around this piece of red, there is a dense circle of gray area.
That is a series of small countries such as Land of Waterfalls, Land of Grass, Land of Frost, Land of Birds.
"Today's topic is very simple."
All the representatives' hearts skipped a beat.
An ominous premonition suddenly emerged.
"From today on."
Uchiha Yao made a sharp stroke with the stick in his hand, encircling all the gray areas.
"These countries are all included in the territory of Land of Fire."
"As for you Ninja Village..."
"Disband on the spot."
"All ninjas, after screening and assessment, will be disorganized and incorporated into the combat order of Konoha."
Although they had been mentally prepared, these representatives still felt dizzy when they actually heard the words "disband the Ninja Village".
This is going to cut off their roots!
"Fire...Hokage-sama!"
The representative of Takigakure stood up tremblingly, with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Is this... is this too..."
"Too what?"
Uchiha Yao glanced at him.
The representative felt as if an invisible hand had strangled his neck, and the next words were stuck in his throat.
His face turned the color of pig liver.
"I'm not negotiating with you."
"I'm informing you."
"Daimyō of the Land of Fire Over there, I've already said hello."
"Within three days, Land of Fire officials will be stationed in each country to take over the administration and finance."
"As for you..."
Uchiha Yao showed a contemptuous smile on his lips.
"Who is in favor and who is against?"
Oppose?
What a joke!
Even Raikage and Tsuchikage were captured, and tens of thousands of Allied Forces were defeated.
What can they do against these little fish and shrimps?
Take the lead?
"I... We, Kusagakure, firmly support Hokage-sama's decision!"
The representative of Kusagakure was the first to react. He knelt on the ground with a plop and expressed his loyalty loudly.
"Land of Grass, up and down, are willing to do your best for Hokage-sama!"
If someone takes the lead, the remaining representatives will not dare to hesitate.
"Takigakure Seconds the motion!"
"Frost Ninja Village second the proposal!"
"Want to listen to Hokage-sama's orders!"
For a moment, everyone in the conference room fell to their knees.
What dignity, what inheritance.
In the face of absolute power, it's all bullshit.
Living is the last word.
"Very good."
Uchiha Yao nodded with satisfaction.
"Shikaku, the specific handover work is left to you."
"Yes."
Shikaku Nara responded respectfully.
"Next."
The stick in Uchiha Yao's hand moved, past those small countries, and finally landed in the northeast corner of the map.
Land of Lightning, Kumogakure.
"After these small fish and shrimps are taken care of, the rest is dinner."
Uchiha Yao looked at Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya."
"Here!"
Jiraiya put away his usual playful smile and looked solemn.
"The main force will be commanded by you."
"Target, Land of Lightning."
"I want you to level Hidden Cloud Village and bring Land of Lightning's territory into the territory."
Jiraiya looked at the country on the map surrounded by high mountains and frowned slightly.
"Yao, Hidden Cloud Village, those barbarians are not easy to deal with."
"Although Raikage was caught, the main force was also seriously damaged."
"But Kumogakure relies on the terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"And you also know the tempers of those guys. They are notoriously tough."
"I'm afraid it will be a tough battle."
Uchiha Yao sneered.
"Tough head?"
"Then smash their heads in pieces."
"No matter how they resist, there is only one ending."
Uchiha Yao threw the stick on the table.
"Submit or perish."
"There is no third way."
"As for specific tactics, you are an expert, so you don't need me to teach you, right?"
Jiraiya took a deep breath and nodded.
"Don't worry."
"Since you gave me the task, I will do it beautifully for you."
"I also want to see how hard Hidden Cloud Village can be without Raikage!"
At this time, Shikaku Nara, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Hokage-sama."
He pointed to the other end of the map, the brown area representing Land of Earth.
"What about Iwagakure?"
"This time Allied Forces was defeated. Although Iwagakure's main force suffered heavy losses, the foundation is still there."
"If when we attack Hidden Cloud Village, Iwagakure stabs us in the back..."
Shikaku's concerns are not unreasonable.
Although Ōnoki was captured, Iwagakure was still there, and Kitsuchi also fled back with thousands of remaining soldiers.
"Don't worry about them."
Uchiha Yao waved his hand, with a sense of absolute confidence in his tone.
"Iwagakure?"
"I'm afraid they don't even dare to close their eyes when sleeping."
"When I arrested Ōnoki, I gave them my final advice."
"And..."
Uchiha Yao paused and his eyes became deep.
"Compared to Iwagakure, that group of calculating old foxes."
"Hidden Cloud Village These single-minded reckless men are the most troublesome."
Jiraiya took over the conversation and nodded.
"That's right."
"Hidden Cloud Village people have bad tempers and their brains are full of muscles."
"As for Iwagakure."
"They are typical wallflowers."
"As long as we destroy Hidden Cloud Village with the power of thunder."
"When the time comes, Iwagakure's gang will make the 'right' choice even if they see the fate of Hidden Cloud Village."
"That's it."
Uchiha Yao has the final say.
"Regulate the army and prepare for war."
"Three days later, the army will set off."
"Target, Hidden Cloud Village!"
"Yes!!"
All the senior officials shouted in unison, filled with murderous intent.
Land of Earth, Iwagakure.
Different from the past, at this moment Iwagakure, the whole village was shrouded in gloom and mist.
In the square at the entrance of the village.
Thousands of Iwagakure Ninja, dressed in rags and covered with injuries, were sitting on the ground dejectedly.
They are the "lucky ones" who came back alive.
But on everyone's face, there is no trace of the joy of surviving the disaster.
There is only numbness and deep fear.
"Where is Lord Tsuchikage?"
"Why are you the only ones back?"
A group of elders and senior officials who stayed behind in the village rushed over and grabbed Kitsuchi by the collar.
"Speak! Kitsuchi!"
"Where did Lord Tsuchikage go?"
Kitsuchi let them sway, their eyes dull.
A long time passed.
Only then did he tell the truth in a hoarse voice.
"Allied Forces is defeated!"
"Father, he..."
"In order for us to retreat, we were captured by Konoha Fifth Hokage Uchiha Yao."
An elder staggered back two steps and sat down on the ground.
The Shinobi World living fossil known as "Two Scales" who has ruled Iwagakure for decades...
Caught?
"No way..."
