With Kizaru's return to the village and the news of his defeat of the Kumogakure Force and capture of the Third Raikage spreading rapidly in the village, the deeds of Kizaru subduing the Two-Tails were intentionally concealed by the higher-ups due to the dangerous and rare nature of the Tailed Beasts.
With Hiruzen's approval, the Shimura clan continuously intensified the promotion of Kizaru's achievements, bringing fame to the heir of the clan.
At the same time, the team escorting the Third Raikage continued to appear in towns within the Land of Fire, publicizing Kizaru's victories.
This internal and external cooperation made Kizaru's reputation spread throughout the ninja world, becoming a hero and a powerhouse in the eyes of the villagers!
As the person involved, Kizaru had a more intuitive and clear sense of the spread of his fame.
In just two days, the fusion rate in Kizaru's mind had risen from 53 to 66%, and it was still growing at a high speed.
Kizaru expected that with the continued spread of his achievements and reputation, his fusion rate might surge to 70% or above in a very short time.
Now, at 66%, Kizaru had already integrated a new ability of Admiral Kizaru – his peak physical quality!
The peak physical quality of Admiral Kizaru, similar to the peak quality of the Admirals in One Piece, could only be described with one word – monstrous!
Now, Kizaru could even confront Matatabi, the Two-Tails, in a wrestling game without using chakra, haki, or fruit abilities, relying solely on his physical strength.
On the outskirts of the village, near the Training Ground close to the Forest of Death, Kizaru, bare-chested and wearing only a black tight-fitting shorts, played a wrestling game with Matatabi.
Facing Matatabi's fierce attacks, Kizaru bent his knees, sank his body without moving back, extended his hands, and caught the right palm slapped by Matatabi.
His muscles exerted force, and his feet crushed the ground. Kizaru suddenly exerted force, twisted his waist and abdomen, and directly threw Matatabi over his shoulder.
Lying on the ground, Matatabi seemed a bit dazed from the throw.
It didn't expect that Kizaru could really flip it to the ground using only physical strength without using chakra.
"Is this guy really human?"
Slowly getting up from the ground, Matatabi looked at Kizaru in astonishment.
"You must be a member of the Senju clan!"
"If Uncle and the elders hear this, they'll be mad! Hahaha!" Saying this, Kizaru, in a good mood, burst into laughter.
"What a monster!" Looking at the laughing Kizaru, Matatabi complained.
"Eh, I'm flattered!" Touching his head, Kizaru pretended to be shy and said with a smiling face.
"Tch!" Putting down the information in his hand, Hanzo let out a disdainful sound.
The fact that the Third Raikage was defeated by a mere ten-year-old genius ninja from Konoha and was captured was truly humiliating for the Raikage.
It seemed that the strength of the Kumogakure is not that impressive, and he started doubting his alliance with them.
Hanzo originally thought that the Land of Wind and Sunagakure were the weakest among the Five Great Countries.
But after reading the information in his hand, Hanzo suddenly realized that the weakest among the Five Great Countries might be the Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning.
If it weren't for considering that the Land of Lightning is far in the northeast with the Land of Fire in between, Hanzo was ready to change his strategy and declare war on the Land of Lightning.
At this moment, Hanzo could be said to be at the peak of his life.
He attacked the Land of Iron, defeated the samurai forces led by Mifune.
Then declared war on the Land of Wind, faced the ninja forces sent by Sunagakure, and used the poison gas created by Ibuse to severely damage the vanguard forces of Sunagakure, achieving a great victory in the first battle!
"Mayumi, I'm ready to declare war on the Land of Fire!" Feeling that victory was within reach and that his dream of a great nation was about to come true, Hanzo turned to his confidant.
"Lord Hanzo, we haven't completely defeated the Sunagakure yet." As an elite among the Kumogakure's Jonin, Hanzo's confidant, Mayumi, reminded.
"The ninjas from Konoha have long infiltrated Amegakure, and that bastard Danzo has been causing trouble in the dark," angry at Konoha's invasion of Amegakure, Hanzo raised his voice, "I don't care about the insignificant Sunagakure. If Amegakure wants to become a great nation, it must defeat Konoha!"
"Lord Hanzo, the strength of Konoha...." Mayumi wanted to continue persuading.
"Enough!" Hanzo spoke up to stop, "Spread my order: Amegakure officially declares war on the Land of Fire. Lead the ninja, and eliminate all the Konoha rats lurking in Amegakure!"
"I... understand!" Seeing that persuasion was futile, Mayumi could only accept Hanzo's order.
Seeing Mayumi leave the room, Hanzo left his seat and stood up.
Looking up at the ninja world map in front of him, Hanzo's eyes were filled with determination and ambition!
From today onwards, Amegakure would become the sixth major nation, and he would become the sixth Hokage of the ninja world!
The peace of the ninja world would be created by himself!
"This guy, is he really capable of creating a new era of peace in the ninja world?"
As the Kage of Iwagakure, one of the Five Great Countries, Onoki also learned about the Kumogakure's defeat and the capture of the Third Raikage.
Looking at the detailed information in his hand, Onoki felt as if he saw the second Hashirama.
During the era when Hashirama and Madara established the ninja villages, it was a rare period of peace in the ninja world.
The reason was very simple!
Because Hashirama, who loved peace, surpassed the entire ninja world, making the ninjas and Kages of each village hesitant to act.
All ambitions could only be secretly hidden in the sewers.
And now, looking at the information in his hand, Onoki felt like he saw the emergence of a new God of Shinobi.
Defeating the Kumogakure Force, defeating and capturing the Third Raikage, and even rumors that the Two-Tails of the Kumogakure had been defeated and tamed by him.
Such a powerhouse was completely on the level of a nation-destroyer.
Moreover, the most important thing was that this Shimura Kizaru also possessed the ability of flight and high-speed mobility, which the First Hokage Hashirama did not have.
Such an existence was equivalent to one person governing a country!
As long as Kizaru was alive and still a ninja of Konoha, other countries and ninja villages could not compete with Konoha at all.
Putting down the information in his hand, Onoki made a decision in his heart.
From today onwards, as long as Kizaru stayed alive and well, Iwagakure must not be an enemy to Konoha.
The lesson from the Kumogakure was right in front of him, and Onoki naturally knew what the correct choice was.
Alliance must be formed properly!
Oh, and the bounty on the black market must be withdrawn immediately.
Thinking of this, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki immediately looked up and said to his assistant in front of him, "Immediately withdraw the bounty on Kizaru!"
"Yes!" As an administrative talent, this assistant understood the thoughts of the Tsuchikage and did not raise any objections, agreeing promptly.
"In addition, contact Konoha and say that I want to meet with the Hokage regarding the situation in Amegakure."
"Understood, Lord Tsuchikage!" The assistant continued to respond.
"You may leave!" Waving his hand, Onoki, with complex emotions, let the assistant leave his office.
