Stomp on the Root masks and broken blades lying haphazardly underfoot.
Kenya's figure did not pause for the slightest.
He lightly touched the ground with his foot, stepping on the crumbling pebbles and broken walls.
He was like a jet-black roc, soaring upwards against the wind along the dilapidated wall.
Although most of the Hokage Building had collapsed during the brutal beating just now.
But at the very top, there was the open-air, suspended platform that was originally used to overlook the entire village and announce the Hokage's Hokage.
Miraculously, a corner of it remains, proudly suspended a hundred meters in the air.
"Despair."
Flip-flops crunched crisply on the cracked tiles.
With Kenya hands in his pockets, Quanmi strode to the highest edge of the precipice-like platform.
Facing the raging winds.
The black cloak with the words " Iron Fist " printed in scarlet on its back fluttered wildly in the wind like a banner.
Kenya lowered his eyes and took in the vast outline of the entire Konoha.
Streets ravaged by war, shelters billowing with smoke, and forests utterly destroyed.
And in the distance, countless figures were converging on the core area like a tide.
Everything is at your feet!
"Swish! Swish!"
Two sharp whooshing sounds suddenly rang out behind Kenya.
Wearing a green cloak and with her golden hair flowing in the wind, Tsunade landed first, arms crossed, her beautiful eyes filled with an air of domineering arrogance.
On the other side.
Zabuza Momochi, carrying the several-ton black iron sword, slammed it to the ground with a thud.
His towering, imposing body exuded a chilling killing intent.
The two men, one on the left and one on the right, stood like the most loyal and indestructible two generals, fiercely guarding Kenya's back!
At this very moment.
As Conqueror's Haki was completely subdued.
Around the charred, deep crater ruins below, the Konoha Anbu and their Jonin, who had been pinned to the ground, finally managed to catch their breath.
Kakashi Hatake Kunai out of the ground and stood up, panting heavily.
Leaders of various ninja clans, including Might Guy, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi Shikaku Nara, Akimichi Chōza.
Without exception, they all crawled out from the mud and rubble.
Behind them.
These were the tens of thousands of civilians rescued from the inferno by the Iron Fist Chamber of Commerce, and the examinees who had just been freed from the Genjutsu.
Tens of thousands of people unconsciously gathered from all directions at the foot of the building ruins.
There was no noise, no commotion.
After witnessing the miracles of catching Tailed Beast with one hand, tearing apart Eight-Headed Serpent with one hand, and stunning three hundred Root of the Root clan with a single hum.
The tens of thousands of Konoha Ninja and civilians simply held their breath and raised their heads.
With an almost reverent, pilgrimage-like fervor, they gazed intently at the young figure atop the platform!
The victor is king, the loser is villain; this has always been the case.
Amidst the ravaged and blood-soaked ruins, only the purest power can reign supreme!
The setting sun was like blood.
The crimson sunset on the horizon pierced through the billowing smoke that filled the entire city.
A chilling yet dazzling golden-red light bathed Kenya's muscles, which resembled black iron.
Kenya bit the white jade pipe in his mouth and inhaled the last wisp of tobacco.
He raised his hand and casually took down the white jade pipe that symbolized the Third Hokage's supreme authority.
Then, under the spotlight of tens of thousands of eyes in the audience.
Kenya raised the white jade pipe high towards the sky!
He looked down at the dense sea of people below, and a domineering smile, full of pressure yet wild and arrogant, slowly spread across his lips.
"Everyone in Konoha, whether they're ninjas, civilians, or even Nezumi hiding in the mud pretending to be dead."
Kenya's voice wasn't hoarse, but it was enhanced by the resonance between the Senju Chakra and his body.
Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, it rumbled and rolled across every corner of Konoha!
"Listen up, all of you!"
"All those weak and compromising rules of the past, I'll smash them all to pieces with one punch today!"
" The Will of Fire can't burn your spines, but my fists can shatter the teeth of anyone who dares to gnash us!"
Kenya clenched his fist suddenly, and the air behind him even exploded into a white shockwave due to the terrifying force of his arm.
"Starting today!"
"The rules of Konoha are set by the Senju Clan!"
"Anyone who disagrees, whether it's the elders or the powerful government, is welcome to come to my office anytime to discuss the matter!"
Kenya grinned, revealing a set of large, white teeth, his arrogance reaching its peak.
"I'll use these fists of mine to explain things to you!"
There was no false rhetoric whatsoever.
Only the purest, most unreasonable, absolute power!
On this scorched earth, a survivor of the apocalypse.
This bold and domineering declaration is more effective than any pale consolation in igniting the long-dormant fervor in everyone's hearts!
The deathly silence lasted only a second.
The next moment.
" Senju! Senju! Senju!"
It's unclear which civilian, who had narrowly escaped death, was the first to shout out.
Immediately afterwards.
Thousands, tens of thousands!
Young, passionate ninjas, civilians who survived the disaster, and even many lower-ranking ninjas who had suffered from exclusion by higher-ups.
They all raised their arms and shouted wildly!
A tsunami-like roar shattered the clouds over Konoha, converging into a raging torrent that would change the course of history!
The Senju Clan, after decades, has returned to the throne in the most savage manner!
And at this very moment.
Deep beneath the leaves of Konoha, in the dark and damp Root Palace.
"Clatter."
A blood-stained battle report filled with phrases like "total annihilation" and " Senju in power" fell limply onto the marble floor.
Shimura Danzō's face was ashen, and his single remaining eye was filled with despair and hopelessness.
The crowd chanted the name " Senju," while in the dark basement, Danzo collapsed completely in his wheelchair.
