"What did you say? You want to take me to Konoha?"
One-Tail Shukaku, had been cowering in fear, but upon hearing the words " Konoha " and " Nine-Tails," its inexplicable pride as a Tailed Beast suddenly trembled.
" Lord Gen'yō, that stinky fox is incredibly cunning, and its strength... is only slightly stronger than mine. Are you sure you want to take me? I'm afraid my imposing presence will scare it away."
Shukaku was boasting, but his claws were unconsciously digging into the cracks between the bricks on the ground.
"Stop talking nonsense."
Gen'yō didn't turn his head, the Kamui Dimension in his left eye trembled slightly, "Whether you go in or not is not up to you."
Buzz.
The spatial Uzumaki swallowed Shukaku's enormous body (even though it had shrunk to two meters).
Rasa watched with trepidation; that was his only trump card.
"Now that the compensation has been agreed upon, Rasa, you can take your two useless subordinates and get out of here."
Gen'yō turned around and looked down at Rasa, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
"Remember, if those gold and scrolls aren't delivered to the gates of the Holy Land within three days, I'll take the entire city to Sunagakure for the New Year."
At this moment, Rasa dared not utter a word of dissent. He bowed deeply to Gen'yō, a gesture of absolute submission from the weak to the strong and to a god.
"Please rest assured, Lord Gen'yō, the goods will definitely arrive within three days."
After saying that, Rasa, along with Pakura and the distraught Chiyo, didn't even dare to look back. They turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared outside the sacred land.
Watching them walk away, Obito leaned closer and pursed his lips.
"Boss, are we just going to let them go like that? Those guys from Sunagakure are notoriously fickle. What if they go back and collude with Konoha again..."
They dare not.
Gen'yō looked at the palm of his right hand, where there was a golden mark, the " Kamui Anchor " he had just left in Rasa's body.
"As long as Rasa wants to live, the thing he wants to do most right now isn't to take revenge on me, but to Danzo who gave him false information."
Gen'yō sneered, "Moreover, Sunagakure doesn't have many elites left. In that battle just now, I stripped half of Rasa's Magnet Release source. He's now at most a slightly stronger Jonin. It won't be long before he recovers."
"Then next..." Shisui stepped forward, his eyes asking for her opinion.
"Next, it's time to collect the debts."
Gen'yō stretched his shoulders, a purple light swirling in his eyes.
"System, calculate last night's rewards."
[Ding! Detected that the host has defeated the elite forces of Sunagakure, captured the Fourth Kazekage, and successfully extorted him!]
[ Clan Prosperity Increased: 50,000 Points!]
[Main Quest Progress: ' Shinobi World Hegemony ' Achieved 15%!]
[Rewards: Divine Artifact Forging Manual ' Golden Crow Sword ', Top-Tier Sage Art Technique ' Gravitational Collapse ', Spatial Anchor Point Expansion Function Unlocked!]
Gen'yō felt the life energy surging within him once again, and the increasingly clear spatial patterns of the Eye of God, an unprecedented sense of control welled up in his heart.
Even without activating Susanoo, he can instantly annihilate the standing forces of a ninja village simply by controlling gravity and space.
" Obito, Shisui, gather the Shadow Guard."
Gen'yō's voice echoed throughout the castle tower.
"Since the opening of our Uchiha Sacred Land, Konoha hasn't even sent us a single red envelope."
"Today, we'll go pick it up ourselves."
The Uchiha clan members were in an uproar once again!
From the day they left Konoha, each of them harbored a deep-seated resentment. Why were they persecuted? Why were they exiled?
Now, Lord Gen'yō is going to lead them back!
Although they were only there to "collect debts," they saw it as a prelude to their triumphant return!
" Akahoshi, you stay home and guard the house. If anyone dares to approach, burn them to ashes with Lava Release."
Gen'yō gave an order to Akahoshi, who was standing on the city wall.
Akahoshi nodded, her long red dress fluttering in the wind. She gazed at Gen'yō's retreating figure, her infatuation impossible to conceal.
This is her man. Domineering, decisive, and powerful enough to make the whole world tremble.
Just then...
On the distant desert horizon, a figure dressed in Konoha ninja attire, with half his face covered, was fleeing in a disheveled state.
He was clutching a blood-stained package in his arms, his eyes filled with terror.
"Stop!"
Two Shadow Guard instantly pinned him down.
Gen'yō frowned and walked over.
"I am... I am Uchiha in Konoha!" The ninja coughed up blood as he struggled to lift his head, revealing his charred skin, a result of the Danzo from Danzo's " Tongue Eradication Resolved" Cursed Seal.
" Lord Gen'yō... Help... Konoha... Konoha has gone mad!"
" Hiruzen Sarutobi... agreed to Danzo's plan... they... they colluded with the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water..."
"At tomorrow's rehearsal for the ' Five Kage Summit '... we will publicly declare the Uchiha 'the enemy of the entire Shinobi World '!"
"And... the first batch of 'Root' assassins have already been dispatched... and taken Lady Mikoto away!"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, an indescribable, terrifying killing intent surged from Gen'yō's body.
The ground beneath his feet instantly turned to dust.
The once calm sky was suddenly filled with dark red clouds.
Gen'yō looked down at the dying ninja, his voice hoarse as if it came from the depths of hell.
"You mean... they took Mikoto away?"
Although he and Mikoto were not actually husband and wife, in Uchiha Gen'yō's dictionary, Mikoto was a member of the Uchiha clan, and one of the few people he paid attention to in Konoha.
To harm his people?
Should we also publicly declare the Uchiha as public enemies?
"Boss..." Obito shrank back. He hadn't seen Gen'yō this angry in a long time.
The debt collection plan has changed.
Gen'yō looked up, and his golden-purple Eye of God were now tinged with an eerie blood-red hue.
"Today, it's not just about collecting debts."
"I will make the Hokage Building disappear from this world completely."
"Set off!"
Gen'yō transformed into a streak of light and rushed directly into the enormous spatial gate.
Behind him, hundreds of Uchiha men followed closely, their killing intent burning fiercely.
The fire is about to burn back into Konoha.
The border of the Land of Wind.
Having already escaped several miles away, Rasa thought he had finally gotten rid of that demon.
However, when he turned his head and saw the dark red killing intent rising from the direction of the Uchiha Sacred Land, Rasa's knees buckled, and he collapsed onto the sand again.
"What's wrong, Lord Kazekage?" Pakura quickly helped him up.
Rasa stared blankly at the sky, his face filled with terror, cold sweat dripping down his chin.
"They've gone mad... they've all gone mad."
"What exactly did those idiots in Konoha do?"
Although he didn't know the specific details of what had happened, he could sense that the aura was destructive.
He looked down at the contract he held in his arms, which was known as the "contract of servitude."
" Pakura, send word back. Within three days, even if you have to sell everything you own, you must raise the compensation money for Lord Gen'yō."
"Furthermore... starting today, Sunagakure and Konoha are severing all ties."
"Anyone from Konoha who appears in our sight will be killed without mercy!"
Pakura was stunned. " Lord Kazekage, this is starting a war..."
"War?" Rasa gave a bitter laugh.
"If you've ever witnessed the power of God, you'll know that with a man like that, we can only try to become his dog, not his opponent."
The Uchiha Sacred Land at this time.
The enormous " Heavenly Imperial Gate " slowly closed in mid-air.
All of the Uchiha elites were instantly transferred to the outer defense line of Konoha.
In the spatial passageway in the air, Gen'yō sat quietly on a semi-solid Susanoo chair. In his arms lay the heavily injured inside ninja.
"System, exchange for ' Sage-Level Life Potion '."
[Ding! 5000 Prosperity Points deducted. Potion distributed.]
Gen'yō poured the potion into the ninja's mouth. Within seconds, the ninja's life force, which had been collapsing, was forcibly pulled back.
"Explain yourself. Where is Mikoto now?"
Gen'yō's expression was frighteningly calm; it was the calm before the storm.
"Reporting to you, sir... at the Root Base beneath the Hokage Building... Danzo intends to use her... to use her as bait to lure you into a trap."
"Enter the game?"
Gen'yō stood up, Susanoo transformed from purple into a pure black that was almost like the abyss.
A giant over 100 meters tall appeared directly above the Forest of Death in Konoha!
Its massive size instantly blocked out all the sunlight from Konoha.
The entire Konoha is in chaos!
"That's... Susanoo?!"
"Help! The Uchiha are back!"
" Lord Hokage! Something terrible has happened!"
Alarms blared across Konoha in an instant, and countless ninjas hastily leaped from their homes, gazing at the sky in despair.
Above the head of that enormous black giant, Uchiha Gen'yō crossed his arms.
His voice, amplified by Chakra, resounded for miles around.
" Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo."
"I had intended to leave you some dignity, to let you slowly grow old and die in your own graves."
"But since you're in such a hurry to be reincarnated, I'll grant your wish."
Gen'yō raised his right hand.
" Kamui - Earth Axis Collapse!"
boom!
A terrifying spatial wave swept across the Forest of Death below. All the trees, the ground, and even the Konoha Ninja hiding in the shadows were instantly shattered by the distorted spatial force!
Konoha's defensive array crumbled instantly under that attack, as if it were made of paper.
" Danzo, send Mikoto out within three minutes."
Gen'yō's right eye suddenly contracted.
"I will wipe Konoha off the face of the earth."
Behind him, a hundred Uchiha clan members simultaneously activated their Sharingan.
Those countless red pupils were like a blood-red downpour.
The highest point of Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled as he put down his pipe, his eyes filled with an unprecedented regret.
In the dimly lit basement, Shimura Danzō looked at the still-warm project proposal in his hands.
He suddenly realized.
He schemed his whole life, but he miscalculated one thing.
That is.
God cannot be calculated.
Gen'yō looked at the Hokage's office, which was now on high alert, and coldly uttered two words.
"Timer, begin."
