The entire shinobi world erupted in an instant.
"Otsutsuki? Celestial Dragons? The power to destroy the world?! The shinobi world actually has secrets at this level!"
"My god! So nobles aren't inherently superior-they might be heirs to the Celestial Dragons! These beings set all the rules we've followed for a thousand years!"
"Did Naruto already know about the Celestial Dragons when he set up those probes earlier? Was that why he used Sarada to test whether they were still around?"
Most rank-and-file shinobi and ordinary citizens were utterly stunned. Their entire worldview had been overturned.
The Sky Screen high above broadcast all the secrets Chou had revealed about the Otsutsuki and the Celestial Dragons. The first to lose their composure were the daimyo and hereditary nobles of all Five Great Nations.
They had already been living in fear, unable to sleep through the night.
Ever since the Sky Screen revealed that Sarada would wipe out all the nobles of the Land of Lightning, these lofty aristocrats had spent every day on edge.
They feared that, with Sarada setting a precedent, the powerful shinobi beneath them might one day break free of their control, rise up to slaughter the nobility, and overturn the class hierarchy.
But after hearing Chou's words on the Sky Screen, every daimyo and noble went from anxiety to delight. Their faces lit up with wild joy, and their fears finally subsided.
Inside the main hall, the daimyo of the Land of Fire laughed heartily at the Sky Screen, stroking his beard with a smug look on his face.
"So that's it! No wonder we nobles are naturally above everyone else! We actually have the Celestial Dragons backing us!"
"Celestial Dragons-that name alone is extraordinary. They're destined to rule the world."
