"Or rather, who else wants to be the first 'signature' on this contract?"
Gen'yō's calm tone was like the scythe of death, gently resting on the necks of all the remaining high-ranking members of Kumogakure.
Divine Grace Hall, there was a deathly silence.
The air seemed to have frozen into the hardest block of ice, making it hard to breathe.
Elder Dodai and the others watched in horror as their companion, who had been alive just moments before, was wiped out right before their eyes, leaving not a trace of his existence. They were all terrified.
Their bodies trembled violently as if being shaken, their crotches were already soaked and emitted a foul stench.
But nobody dared to care about any of that.
All that remained in their minds was the man's cold, demonic question echoing endlessly.
Opinion?
How could they dare to have any objections?!
"No... no... we have no objections!"
Dodai reacted the fastest. He suppressed the fear that was enough to shatter his soul and screamed wildly in a distorted, almost howling voice.
"We're willing to sign! We're willing to give up everything! Please, Your Honor, spare our lives! Please, Your Honor, spare our lives!"
As he spoke, he even bit his finger hard with his teeth, and tremblingly pressed the blood-stained finger toward the golden scroll floating in mid-air!
Seeing this, others followed suit.
For a moment, the entire hall echoed with their terrified and humble pleas for mercy, as well as the soft "sizzling" sound of blood pressing its mark onto the scroll of laws.
The sound was like the mournful cry of a soul being branded with a hot iron.
Gen'yō watched all this indifferently, a satisfied smile curving his lips.
This is exactly the effect he wanted.
He not only wanted to conquer them physically, but also to completely destroy their dignity and will as "human beings," transforming them into obedient "tools" who would only obey orders.
Soon, all the surviving high-ranking Kumogakure Village branded their Blood Soul Seal onto that " Divine Contract ".
The moment the last mark was completed--
The entire golden scroll burst forth with dazzling light!
An invisible, supreme power of law spread from the " Moon Palace " to the entire Shinobi World in an instant!
At this moment, the land, mountains, and rivers of the Land of Lightning, as well as every ninja with the bloodline of the Kumogakure, were all bound tightly by an invisible and irresistible shackle!
From this moment on, their fates were completely bound to this contract, to the Uchiha Divine Kingdom, and to the man on the throne!
They became true slaves.
"Very good."
Gen'yō nodded in satisfaction.
With a casual wave of his hand, the already effective " Divine Contract " transformed into a stream of light and flew into the starry river behind him, becoming part of the supreme laws of the Divine Kingdom.
After doing all this, his gaze finally fell on the secret scrolls that Dodai and the others had piled up on the ground like trash, and on the lone "Daimyo Seal" lying on the ground.
"Is this all the wealth that your Kumogakure has accumulated over generations?"
Gen'yō's tone carried an undisguised hint of disdain.
"It doesn't look that great."
Upon hearing this, Dodai and the others felt a pang of pain in their hearts.
Not very good?
That contains the culmination of hundreds of years of hard work and dedication from the First Raikage to the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure!
It even includes training notes on " Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite," known as the "strongest Lightning Release," as well as detailed records of " Tailed Beast Transformation V2 Mode," which only Perfect Jinchuriki can master!
If any of these things were to get out, it would be enough to unleash a bloodbath in the Shinobi World!
But in this man's eyes, all he got in return was a simple "not very good"?
However, they dared not refute, and could only humbly echo like lapdogs, "Yes... yes... in front of you, these are just some insignificant trinkets..."
Gen'yō chuckled lightly, ignoring these puppets who had completely become mindless zombies.
A thought flashed through his mind.
Kamui - Creation!
An invisible spatial force instantly enveloped the mountain of scrolls.
The next second, all the scrolls disappeared from their original positions and were directly teleported to the true core of the Divine Kingdom —the " Amaterasu " mainframe database located inside the moon.
At the same time, a series of cold, mechanical notification sounds, audible only to Gen'yō, rang in his mind.
[Ding! A large amount of unknown Ninjutsu information detected, currently being recorded...]
[Information collection complete! A total of 37 S-rank secret technique scrolls, 498 A-rank Ninjutsu scrolls, and 3562 B-rank and Genin scrolls have been collected...]
[Analyzing, categorizing, and optimizing all Ninjutsu...]
[Analysis complete! Core Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation theory detected... currently undergoing fusion and deduction with the host clan's " Uchiha Style Fire Style " theory...]
[Deduction complete! Congratulations, host! The " Ninjutsu Development Department" of the Clan Technology Tree has unlocked a new branch—" Yin-Yang Release: Lightning Flame Mode "!]
[" Lightning Flame Mode ": This technique fuses the ultimate "Yang" attribute of Fire Style with the ultimate "Speed" attribute of Lightning Release, creating a new jutsu that combines terrifying high temperatures with supersonic cutting capabilities. Potential rating: Super S-rank!]
[Ding! Training data related to " Perfect Jinchuriki " detected...]
[Data analysis in progress... comparing with the host's " Six Paths Level Sage Body " data...]
[Comparison complete! Optimizable path found! Host's control and affinity with " Tailed Beast Chakra " permanently increased by 30%! " Clan Reproduction System " unlocks new function - " Kekkei Genkai Customization Template "!]
[ Kekkei Genkai Customization Template: The host can consume family contribution points to optimize, modify, or even create entirely new Kekkei Genkai based on their own or others' Kekkei Genkai, and then bestow them upon designated family descendants!]
A series of system notifications caused a genuine look of interest to appear in Gen'yō's eyes for the first time.
Lightning Flame Mode?
That sounds like a pretty good toy.
However, what truly interested him was the newly unlocked " Kekkei Genkai Customization Template "!
Doesn't this mean he can create all sorts of powerful Kekkei Genkai for his descendants at will, just like customizing a character in a game?!
Sharingan plus Byakugan equals Tenseigan?
Does Sharingan plus Sage Body equal Rinnegan?
What does Wood Release, Dust Release, and Lava Release equal?
Countless crazy and audacious ideas flashed through Gen'yō's mind, causing his heart, which had long since become somewhat calm due to his overwhelming power, to beat faster!
As expected of Clan Reproduction System!
This is the real "farming" game's cheat code!
"It seems this tedious war has at least brought a small surprise."
Gen'yō seemed to be in a better mood.
He shifted his gaze from the system interface and returned it to the humble figures below.
He slowly reached out and gently touched the dusty "Daimyo Imperial Seal".
The imperial seal instantly flew into his hand.
He casually toyed with the seal that once symbolized the highest power of a country, as if it were an ordinary pebble.
I've accepted the gifts.
"As a 'reward,' I can let you live."
Upon hearing this, Dodai and the others were overjoyed and wept tears of gratitude, kowtowing frantically in thanks.
However, Gen'yō's next words plunged them into an icy abyss.
"However, while the death penalty may be spared, punishment is inevitable."
Gen'yō's gaze pierced through the walls of the Divine Grace Hall, as if he could see the two "trophies" he had tossed into the Kamui Dimension like trash.
"I've heard that your Kumogakure's Medical Ninjutsu is unparalleled in the Shinobi World."
"It has a unique treatment method, especially for injuries caused by Lightning Release Chakra."
He slowly stood up and walked down from the towering throne, step by step, to stand before Dodai and the others.
He looked down at them from his high vantage point, his golden eyes flashing with a cold light that would make even demons tremble.
"Perfect timing, I have two unruly toys here that I've played with a bit too much and they're a little broken."
"Now I need you to use your so-called 'unparalleled in the Shinobi World ' Medical Ninjutsu to 'repair' them."
"To the point where they can clearly and fully perceive everything that is about to happen."
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Gen'yō's mouth.
"Three days later, a grand, world-wide public trial will be held in the Moon Palace '."
"And the two of them—"
"He will be the most important 'protagonist' in that trial."
"I hope they will be in good enough spirits to deliver their acceptance speeches."
Can you do it?
