Extra Chapter~
All around Konoha, enemy ninjas were watching its movements.
It felt as if Konoha had become the enemy of the entire shinobi world.
However, their surveillance was pointless, as Konoha did not need to mobilize a large force, nor were they aware of the changes in the leadership of the Land of Fire.
Ryujiro was helping Konoha unify the shinobi world, not aiding the Land of Fire.
The daimyo of the Land of Fire had sent emissaries to negotiate with Konoha, but under the immense pressure of Ryujiro's power, the daimyo conceded.
Outwardly, nothing seemed to have changed, but the upper echelons of the Land of Fire were now entirely under Ryujiro's control.
The Land of Fire belonged to Konoha, and Konoha was its core.
Typically, the village and the nation cooperated: the nation provided funding, and the village protected it.
However, in the face of absolute power, what use were these distinctions?
Take Madara from the original anime, for instance.
Without the overpowered assistance of Naruto and Sasuke, Madara would have easily executed his plan for the Moon's Eye. And when Black Zetsu resurrected Kaguya Otsutsuki, no one could fight her.
After unification, many systems would change. The governance model of the Land of Fire was outdated in Ryujiro's eyes.
At this moment, in Stone Village...
The ninjas of Stone Village were completely unaware of the two figures hovering above.
Ryujiro looked down at the village and said calmly, "Let's start here."
At this moment, Ryujiro seemed even more inscrutable, exuding an aura that felt otherworldly.
This was because he had mastered the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave and had integrated the Sage Modes of all the three places.
He had now reached a state called Ascended Sage Mode.
Having merged the three Sage Modes, he unlocked a new mode: Sage Chakra Mode.
This mode was similar to Hinata's Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
His control over natural energy surpassed that of the three great sages, and even a casual attack carried immense destructive power.
"Let's greet Onoki first," Ryujiro murmured.
In an instant, a terrifying pressure emanated from Ryujiro, his spiritual pressure flooding Stone Village like a tsunami.
The immense weight felt like a thousand tons pressing down.
At that moment, every ninja in Stone Village felt the crushing pressure.
They bent under its weight, unable to stand straight, their eyes filled with terror. The village was in chaos.
Onoki, who was handling official duties, felt the pressure and his face changed instantly.
Even he felt suffocated by the immense force.
Where was this terrifying pressure coming from? Onoki struggled to withstand it as he flew into the clouds.
Seeing the two young figures, Onoki's expression turned to one of fear. One was a young girl from the Hyuga clan... and the other was Ryujiro from Konoha!
Onoki's heart was filled with dread. Were those Konoha people serious all along?
"Are you really going to force the other villages into a corner?" Onoki asked through gritted teeth.
"Force into a corner?" Ryujiro sneered.
"You should have thought of the consequences when you waged war against Konoha.
In war, there are no victors, only losers. Your villages are destined to be stepping stones on Konoha's path to unification!"
Onoki was shocked, looking at Ryujiro in disbelief. "What do you mean by unification? What are you Konoha planning?"
Ryujiro was unfazed by Onoki's outburst.
"Since the establishment of ninja villages, there has been constant warfare. So-called peace is just temporary.
Big nations compete, and small nations suffer.
How many families have been torn apart by war? The root cause is the interests of the major villages.
The only solution is unification, and Konoha is the pioneer on this path!"
Onoki's mind reeled as if struck by lightning. Unify the shinobi world!
Konoha actually harbored such ambitions, hiding them under the guise of peace.
"Wolves in sheep's clothing! The entire shinobi world has been deceived by you!" Onoki shouted, his voice trembling.
"I will never bow to Konoha! You will not succeed! The people of Stone Village have the will of stone!"
Heh, the will of stone. Onoki's defiance was akin to an egg striking a rock.
Though he had lost an arm, he could still use his Dust Release, albeit less powerfully than at his peak.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
The white, transparent cube of Dust Release was much weaker than before.
Ryujiro, unwilling to waste time, disappeared from Onoki's sight in a flash.
Where did he go?
Onoki felt a tearing pain in his chest.
Blood spurted from his chest, blooming like red flowers in the sky.
His eyes widened, gradually losing their light. The glow of his Dust Release faded away.
"The will of stone? No, it's just a steppingstone on Konoha's path to unification."
Onoki, trembling and voice hoarse, said, "You... Konoha will not... will not succeed!
The ninjas of Stone Village are tenacious! You won't succeed!"
Onoki, clinging to his last breath, laughed maniacally, his crazed voice echoing in the sky.
The ninjas below shuddered at the familiar voice.
One felt a drop of liquid on his face, thinking it was rain, but his face paled when he wiped it and saw it was blood.
Blood!
Looking up, he saw a small figure falling from the sky like a comet.
"Lord Tsuchikage!"
"That's Lord Tsuchikage!"
"Catch him!"
