None of them were fools. They all knew that once the Shinobi World accepted this truth, it would spell their doom.
For centuries, they had remained firmly above shinobi and commoners by relying on their inherited noble status and their legitimacy as rulers.
Until now, they had secretly remained certain that, backed by the mysterious and powerful Celestial Dragons, they were the chosen ones, the rightful rulers of the Shinobi World.
But now, their trump card had been shattered completely!
They were not direct descendants of the Celestial Dragons, nor were they chosen aristocrats. They were merely worthless slaves the others had casually discarded!
Most importantly, the balance of power in the Shinobi World had begun to change with the Sky Screen.
The noble hierarchy that had once kept shinobi beneath them through status alone was already on the verge of collapse.
Now, their noble facade had been stripped away entirely, exposing them as slaves abandoned by the Celestial Dragons.
From this day forward, shinobi would no longer fear their connections, and commoners would no longer revere their status.
Their power, standing, dignity, and sense of superiority could all come crashing down.
"It's fake! It has to be fake!"
"No one is allowed to discuss this! Anyone who spreads it will be killed on sight!"
"We are nobles! We are the rightful rulers! We are not slaves!"

The entire Shinobi World remained in an uproar. Everyone was furiously discussing the origins of the Celestial Dragons, the Uchiha's secrets, and the truth about the nobles being slaves.

Sarada and Kisame had both been completely subdued and captured by Kalifa.
