Soon, a tall figure appeared at the village entrance. He was an old ninja who looked to be over fifty, wearing a mask and a confident smile. He seemed unaware of what awaited him.
"You're the new Tsuchikage sent by the Daimyo?" Ōnoki's voice was filled with intense anger. "Do you think you can easily take my place?"
The masked ninja smiled slightly, "The Daimyo's court has made its decision; I will become the new Tsuchikage. This is the Daimyo's order, and you have no right to disobey."
Ōnoki sneered, "An order from the Daimyo's court? Do you think I would obey such an order? The Daimyo's court has no right to order the Tsuchikage. Today, you will be killed here as a warning to our Daimyo!"
As Ōnoki finished speaking, the ninjas hidden in the shadows revealed themselves, weapons in hand, and charged towards the Masked Man ninja.
The Masked Man, Tsuchikage Ōnoki Tsuchikage. Ōnoki knew that he had to kill this Masked Man today, or Iwagakure would surely descend into chaos.
"You are defying the orders of the Daimyo's court!" the Masked Man, Tsuchikage, shouted, his voice carrying an undeniable authority. "You will pay for this with your lives!"
However, his voice was quickly drowned out by the attacks of the Iwagakure ninja. The battle erupted instantly, and the new Tsuchikage appeared isolated and helpless amidst layers of traps and the siege of numerous ninja. However, just when everyone thought he was about to be defeated, his figure was suddenly enveloped by a giant Susanoo.
This Susanoo a hundred feet tall, its entire body radiating a powerful aura of Chakra, like an insurmountable mountain. Its eyes flashed with a cold light, and it held a huge black longsword in its hand, the blade cutting everything in its path.
The Masked Man's Susanoo like an invincible war god, easily slaughtering the elite Iwagakure ninja who were besieging him. Each of its attacks carried devastating power, routing the Iwagakure ninja. Ōnoki stood at a distance, watching all this in horror. His Dust Release attacks struck the Susanoo, but only caused minor injuries that were quickly healed, leaving not even a trace. His carefully arranged Explosive Tag array Susanoo.
Tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninja besieged Susanoo, but only suffered casualties. Every swing of Susanoo's longsword took the lives of countless Iwagakure ninja. Blood stained the earth, and screams echoed everywhere. The Iwagakure ninja were terrified; they had never seen such a powerful opponent, and they began to flee for their lives.
Standing on high ground, Onoki witnessed everything. His heart was filled with terror and despair. He knew all too well that the power of the Uchiha clan was something Iwagakure could not contend with. A legendary name flashed through his mind, "Uchiha Madara, the Asura of the Shinobi World." This name had long been a legend in the shinobi world; his power was unmatched. And this Uchiha before him was definitely no less powerful than Uchiha Madara. Onoki realized that Iwagakure might truly be doomed.
"What on Tsuchikage is Konoha up to? Konoha Uchiha Clan member becoming Tsuchikage? How is that possible!" Ōnoki muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly. "That terrifying Masked Man, who exactly is he? Will the Shinobi World be unified by Konoha?"
Ōnoki knew he had to find out the truth. He led a group of elite ninja and began his escape towards the capital of the Land of Earth. He was going to find the Daimyo of the Land of Earth and question him about what had happened. He firmly believed that the daimyo's government could not possibly allow Madara Uchiha to succeed Tsuchikage; there must be a conspiracy involved, and something must have happened to the daimyo.
Just as the Iwagakure ninjas were fleeing in terror, a deep rumbling sound suddenly came from underground. The sound was like an ancient beast awakening from the ground, causing the earth to tremble. Then, countless white figures surged forth from the earth. These were White Zetsu creatures; their bodies were as white as snow, their eyes cold and ruthless, seemingly devoid of any emotion. Hundreds of thousands of White Zetsu emerged from the ground like a tidal wave, quickly occupying every corner of Iwagakure.
The appearance of the White Zetsu completely shattered the resistance of Iwagakure. They appeared and disappeared unpredictably, moving swiftly and precisely. The resisting ninjas were killed one by one by the White Zetsu's attacks. The White Zetsu's bodies were incredibly tough; ordinary Ninjutsu and weapons could not harm them at all. Their hands were like sharp blades, easily tearing apart the bodies of ninjas with each swing.
The defenses of Iwagakure collapsed rapidly under the onslaught of the White Zetsu. The ninjas were terrified; they had never seen such a bizarre and powerful enemy. Some ninjas attempted to organize a counterattack, but there were simply too many White Zetsu. Their attacks were like a storm, leaving the Iwagakure ninjas nowhere to hide. The ninjas who resisted fell one after another under the White Zetsu's attacks, their blood staining the ground red.
"Run! Run!" a ninja from Iwagakure shouted in terror, his voice filled with despair. However, the White Zetsu White Zetsu like Kageko, and his body was quickly torn to shreds.
The White Zetsu attacked not only ninjas but also civilians who resisted. Like ruthless machines, they annihilated all who resisted. The civilians of Iwagakure fled in terror, but the White Zetsu were faster. They quickly surrounded the civilian area, killing the resisting civilians one by one, and capturing those who surrendered.
"Spare me!" A civilian knelt on the ground, his hands covering his head, begging the White Zetsu to spare him. However, the White Zetsu showed no mercy; their cold eyes held only killing intent. The White Zetsu's hands, like iron clamps, tightly gripped the civilian's neck until he stopped breathing.
The entire Iwagakure was quickly and completely conquered by the White Zetsu. White Zetsu patrolled the village streets, ensuring no one could escape. Their movements were methodical, as if they had undergone meticulous training. The appearance of the White Zetsu caused the complete collapse of order in the Iwagakure; their once-solid defenses crumbled under their onslaught.
The White Zetsu not only controlled the surface of Iwagakure but also penetrated deep underground, eliminating all possible resistance. Their actions were swift and efficient, leaving no corner untouched. Under the White Zetsu Zetsu's onslaught, the Iwagakure ninja lost their will to resist. They realized that fighting against such a powerful enemy was futile.
"We're finished." A Iwagakure Jonin to himself, his eyes filled with despair. He watched as the White Zetsu ran rampant in the village, powerless to do anything about it. He knew that Iwagakure was irrevocably plunged into crisis.
The appearance of the White Zetsu not only destroyed Iwagakure's defenses but also utterly shattered the ninjas' will to resist. Their once-proud power seemed so insignificant in the face of a large number of White Zetsu. Like ruthless machines, the White Zetsu annihilated all who resisted, plunging the entire Iwagakure into despair.
Ōnoki led the remaining ninja on a desperate escape, their hearts filled with fear and rage. They couldn't believe that the once Iwagakure had been completely destroyed in a single day. They couldn't believe that the mysterious Masked Man was actually Madara Uchiha.
Of course, Madara Uchiha was no simple man. He and Tian Uguisu had planned all of this long ago. He ordered the Ninja Cat Clan to search the entire Shinobi World for Tsubasa's whereabouts, and he himself activated all the White Zetsu to help Tian Uguisu seize control of the Land of Earth and use it for her purposes. Tian Uguisu's style of doing things suited his wishes very well, and thus, this grand drama unfolded.
Madara Uchiha stood on the shoulder of Susanoo, looking down at Iwagakure, which had been occupied by the White Zetsu army. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
