How do you think this farce should end?
Gen'yō's words, tinged with amusement yet containing an endless chill, were transmitted to every corner of the Shinobi World through the ubiquitous live broadcast signal.
Instantly, the whole world fell into a deathly silence because of those words.
farce?
A war that mobilized an army of 30,000 ninjas, a Kage, and a Perfect Jinchuriki, yet was ultimately wiped out like ants by a single person, was described by him as nothing more than a "farce"?
This condescending attitude, this domineering air that disregarded all the heroes of the world, sent a chill down the spines of everyone watching through the screen.
Konoha, Hokage's office.
Clatter
Hiruzen Sarutobi dropped his pipe and it broke in two on the ground.
But he was completely unaware.
He just stared intently at the black-haired, golden-eyed figure in the crystal ball, his cloudy old eyes filled with unprecedented terror and horror.
end?
How is he going to handle this?
Kill the Raikage and Killer B? Then march north and wipe out the entire Land of Lightning?
Or does he have an even more terrifying, more insane scheme?
Sunagakure.
The conference room in the Kazekage Building was silent.
All the elders turned pale and dared not utter a sound.
They were relieved. Relieved that it was the simple-minded Kumogakure who first jumped out to provoke the Divine Kingdom, not their Sunagakure.
Otherwise, the ones lying on that scorched earth right now would be their Kazekage and the One-Tail Jinchuriki.
"Immediately! Send a congratulatory telegram of the highest honor to the Uchiha Divine Kingdom —no, to Lord Gen'yō!"
After a long pause, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, sitting in the main seat, finally gave the order in a hoarse voice.
"Congratulations on quelling a rebellion aimed at disrupting the peace of the Shinobi World! Our Sunagakure is willing to stand with the Divine Kingdom to maintain world stability!"
" Lord Kazekage is wise!"
The elders, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, readily echoed the sentiment.
Those who understand the times are wise.
Faced with absolute and irresistible power, any dignity and backbone seem so ridiculous and presumptuous.
Iwagakure.
Having already changed into his Divine Kingdom military uniform Ōnoki looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the screen, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He recalled the scene from decades ago when he fought against a young Madara Uchiha.
At that time, Madara was so powerful that it was despair-inducing.
But compared to Gen'yō at this moment, it seems that something is missing.
What's missing?
It took Ōnoki a long time to finally understand.
It lacks the perspective of a "god" who treats the entire world as a chessboard, everyone as a piece, and manipulates and arranges things at will!
Madara was merely a powerful "person" standing at the pinnacle of humanity.
As for Uchiha Gen'yō, he had already transcended the realm of "human".
On the battlefield.
Gen'yō seemed to enjoy the feeling of the whole world being silenced in his presence.
He slowly walked over to Raikage A and Killer B, who had already fainted.
He didn't check their injuries, nor did he use any advanced Sealing Jutsu.
He simply tied the two of them together with Chakra Threads and casually lifted them up, as if he were carrying two bags of trash.
Then he held these two "trophies" that had recently shaken the Shinobi World high, displaying them to the invisible "lens".
It's like a triumphant hunter showing off his richest prey to the world.
"Now, I declare."
Gen'yō's voice suddenly became solemn and chilling, filled with unquestionable authority.
"This foolish and reckless war, unilaterally initiated by the Kumogakure and aimed at invading the territory of my Divine Kingdom Divine Kingdom slaughtering its people, has come to an end."
"The invaders have all been killed."
The mastermind has been captured alive.
"Our Uchiha Divine Kingdom has defended our sovereignty and dignity with a glorious victory and zero casualties!"
These words were spoken with great righteousness and resounding conviction.
All the crimes committed by those present were clearly and unequivocally nailed to the pillar of shame of Kumogakure.
At the same time, it declares to the world – the Divine Kingdom is not to be trifled with!
"But--"
Just when everyone thought he was about to declare the war over and call it a day...
Gen'yō suddenly changed the subject.
A cold, sharp glint flashed in those golden eyes.
"This matter cannot be left unresolved."
" Kumogakure must pay the price for their actions."
"And you—"
His gaze swept across the void once more, as if engaging in a silent confrontation with the "shadows" from all over the world.
"All the 'neighbors' who chose to stand idly by and watch the tigers fight from the sidelines in this war also need to give me and the Divine Kingdom a reasonable explanation."
It's here!
Upon hearing this, the hearts of all the Kage Level powerhouses clenched tightly!
Their worst fears have finally come true!
After defeating the Kumogakure, is this man's next target going to be them?!
"I am Uchiha Gen'yō."
"In the name of the Lord of the Divine Kingdom and the new guardian of the Shinobi World's order, I hereby issue the first divine decree to the entire Shinobi World!"
His voice seemed to resonate with heaven and earth at that moment, carrying a terrifying magic that made his words law!
"First, effective immediately, the Land of Lightning is designated as a 'sinners' exile zone' of our Divine Kingdom. The Kumogakure is to be disbanded immediately! All Kumogakure ninjas must surrender and register at the border of our Divine Kingdom within twenty-four hours to undergo reformation. Those who fail to do so will be considered traitors and executed without mercy!"
A single sentence sealed the fate of a great nation!
"Secondly, the fates of these two war criminals in my hands— the Fourth Raikage A and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B —will be decided by the future of the entire Shinobi World."
"Now, I'm giving you a chance."
A devilish smile crept onto Gen'yō's lips.
His voice, like that of a final judgment, resounded in everyone's ears, leaving them nowhere to escape.
Within three days.
"I demand that the three Kage from the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Water personally come to my Divine Kingdom, the Moon Palace, to explain themselves to me in person."
"Explain why you chose silence and condoning this when our Divine Kingdom is invaded and world peace is trampled upon!"
"They can come, as guests, as allies in the joint trial of war criminals."
"You can also choose not to come."
The golden light in Gen'yō's eyes suddenly surged, and a terrifying killing intent that made everyone feel suffocated erupted!
"Then three days later--"
"I'll have no choice but to go and 'ask' them myself."
"My way."
