" The Eight Gates Released Formation is nothing special, is it?"
Xu Xiao's voice struck Might Guy's heart like a heavy hammer.
'How could this be! How could someone disarm the Daytime Tiger with just one hand? This is impossible!'
Might Guy was deeply shocked; this was a scene he had never imagined.
From a young age, under his father's guidance, he honed his physical Taijutsu techniques. The Eight Gates was his ultimate trump card.
But today, the power that had been so highly anticipated was so easily seized, and his worldview is crumbling.
Although he hadn't opened all Eight Gates, his power at this moment was definitely the strongest among the ninjas present. Was his opponent even human?
Before he could think any further, a tremendous force surged through his arm, and his Riot Games was squeezed painfully by Xu Xiao's palm.
"What? Your well-intentioned attack didn't work, and you can't believe it?"
Xu Xiao casually tightened the power in his hands; he could temporarily suppress Might Guy had opened Seventh Gate, using only his physical body.
So what if he's the strongest Taijutsu user in the Naruto World?
Faced with absolute power, even dragons must coil up and tigers must lie low.
"You... you bastard, what incredible strength! Die! Konoha Whirlwind!"
After trying and finding that he couldn't break free from Xu Xiao's grip, Might Guy used his waist to kick Xu Xiao hard with both feet.
Unfortunately, it was completely useless.
The moment he lifted his feet, his Telekinesis pressed down, instantly pinning his legs back down.
Xu Xiao caught his Riot Games with his hand only to test Might Guy's strength; it didn't mean he intended to fight him hand-to-hand.
With Xu Xiao's current strength, there is no one in the Naruto World who is qualified for him to personally engage in hand-to-hand combat.
" Konoha's Blue Beast of the Hidden Leaf, very impressive attack. I acknowledge you."
With a thought, Xu Xiao used his Telekinesis to suppress Might Guy and put him together with several high-ranking members of Konoha.
Unfortunately, these guys were all swept away by the aftershocks when Xu Xiao neutralized the Daytime Tiger Air Cannon because they were unable to move.
Everyone suffered injuries to varying degrees. The two older Hokage Advisor, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, were seriously injured and coughed up blood.
Then another figure descended from the sky; it was Kakashi.
In a short time, Xu Xiao controlled the Hokage of Konoha, the strongest ninja from the village, and the two strongest fighters of the new generation.
Apart from Danzo, that rat in the gutter still lurking underground spying on the village, the people here are enough to decide the fate of Konoha.
"Alright, the high-ranking officials and combatants of Konoha are all here."
"Gentlemen, please introduce yourselves."
"My Xu Xiao, you can also call me Heavenly Venerable. I am the new master of this world, and I intend to regain control of this chaotic world."
" Konoha is my first stop. Are any of you interested in working for me?"
Xu Xiao looked down at the group of ninjas from his high position. He sensed through his Divine Sense sense that many more ninjas were rushing over.
But it was no use. If he hadn't planned to train some subordinates to do odd jobs for him, he could have razed the entire Konoha Village to the ground.
Conquering the world isn't about killing everyone indiscriminately; every blade of grass, every tree, and every person in the world is Xu Xiao's treasure.
"Ahem! Ha~ Your ambition is quite grand, but it's impossible!"
" Konoha will not yield to any threat, the Will of Fire..."
Despite coughing up blood, Hiruzen Sarutobi resolutely raised his head and looked at Xu Xiao.
Konoha belongs to him; he will absolutely not allow it to become a tool in the hands of schemers.
In particular, Xu Xiao's ambition is to rule the world, which will definitely make Konoha a target of everyone and a victim of war.
"Oh, it seems you're not willing to become the Third Hokage. I'm truly sorry."
Xu Xiao looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with a regretful expression and lightly tapped his finger.
"Then you'll have to die first, and I'll ask the others for their opinions."
"Pfft~"
Like a flattened tomato, the third generation's body was instantly squeezed into a paste, and those nearby were covered in it.
"Lord Third Hokage!" Hiruzen!!
Everyone present was stunned; no one had expected Xu Xiao to be so decisive.
Isn't he trying to get us to work for him? Why doesn't he try any more coercion or bribery?
This is completely contrary to the procedures for recruiting subordinates!
"Oh dear, don't cry so much, it's like you all love him so much."
"Speaking of which, ever since the Third Hokage took office, the interests of the ninja clans have been divided, the villages have been provoked by outsiders and dared not fight back, and power struggles have been constant. Don't you guys ever want this Hokage to die?"
Xu Xiao looked at everyone with amusement.
Everyone fell silent, especially the powerful members of the ninja clan, whose expressions varied.
When it comes to popularity across three generations, everyone would certainly approve of someone when they're young, but as they get older... it's hard to say.
Otherwise, Orochimaru wouldn't have turned a blind eye to so many high-level combatants in the village during his Konoha Crush Plan.
Perhaps everyone was hoping that this old man, who had held power in Konoha for decades, would die quickly so that the village could be reshuffled.
To be fair, Konoha did experience a period of peaceful development after the Third Hokage took over, but the cost was centralized power and constant internal power struggles.
From the Byakugan Hyuga Clan the Orochimaru's human experimentation and defection, to the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan, he, as Hokage, cannot escape blame for any of these events.
It's impossible to say that these powerful ninja clans had no complaints about him.
"Alright, now that the opposition has been dealt with, is there anyone else who wants to be like him?"
Xu Xiao glanced at everyone indifferently, and seeing that no one spoke, he waved his hand again.
This time, it wasn't just these ninjas who died, but entire swathes of Konoha buildings collapsed, including houses in the far distance.
With the ninjas' keen hearing, they could even hear the villagers' desperate screams.
"Think carefully. Your answer will determine not only your survival, but also the future of Konoha."
Think it through before you answer me.
The group looked at each other, seemingly having a choice, but in reality, they had no choice at all.
"Your Excellency, we submit to you. Are you truly willing to spare the people of the village?"
A chubby ninja spoke up; he appeared to be a skilled member of the Akimichi Clan.
"Of course, ruling the world is about controlling everything. If I kill them all, who will I rule?"
Xu Xiao nodded.
"Very well, on behalf of the Akimichi Clan, I submit to you!"
The Akimichi Clan ninja bowed his head and made his choice.
Given the strength Xu Xiao displayed, even if everyone here were tied together, they couldn't defeat him.
Moreover, the other side threatened them with the villagers, leaving them no room to argue.
Ninjas are tools of killing. Even if the village was originally established for the purpose of peace, the business of killing has not stopped over the years.
Whether they are commoner ninjas or clan ninjas, once they learn Chakra and master Ninjutsu, they are destined to be a sword, the only difference being who wields it.
Who told them to live in such a cannibalistic era?
