I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Seeing this, Fugaku followed suit and quickly asked, "You really won't kill them?"

If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze.

"I said I wouldn't kill them, but I didn't say I wouldn't kill you. Later, I'll use illusion magic to force these guys to reveal everything, and then kill them all one by one. Every single noble here, kill them all. Of course, we'll spare those with good reputations. If they're not happy, we'll kill them all!"

Bai Ye wouldn't leave such a loophole behind; since he was going to kill the daimyo sooner or later anyway, he might as well just take action.

"it is good!"

Fugaku agreed with Byakuya's approach; although he was overly sentimental, he actually understood the reasoning behind it.

That night, blood flowed throughout Daming Prefecture, and screams echoed throughout the capital. Commoners hid in their homes, afraid to go out, while some heard what seemed to be a massacre happening next door but dared not go out either.

As dawn broke, the entire capital city, including most of the major cities of the Land of Fire, saw its loyal followers slaughtered by White Night. And with the arrival of dawn, everything that had happened in the Land of Fire, through White Zetsu's propaganda, was now spread throughout the entire world.

The whole world is going crazy.

The powerful figures who originally controlled the Land of Fire are all dead, killed by the new Hokage of Konoha and his ninja. Konoha is going to create a new Land of Fire!!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 129 A Marriage Alliance! The Hokage and the Mizukage are a match made in heaven!

"What the hell is Konoha doing?!"

"They've gone mad! Bring those guys from Kirigakure back immediately! We need to start a war with Konoha too!!"

"We have to wipe out those guys from Konoha!"

"This concerns our interests. Also, we need to suppress the situation inside that village. If they do anything unusual, we must suppress them immediately!"

Panic!

The lords panicked.

Previously, no one would dare to attack them, but now that Konoha has set this precedent, things might change.

Nobody knows when someone might suddenly decide to kill the daimyo out of a bad mood.

Asuma, who was on his way to deliver the message, showed a look of surprise, followed by a sense of relief. He was glad that he had left, otherwise he probably would have died there.

But it doesn't matter, he's still alive. He will avenge the daimyo, his father, and the Sarutobi clan!

Asma is not dead, so there is still a spark of hope!

He will be our last hope!

"Are you crazy?"

Mei Terumi arrived in Konoha and immediately learned that Byakuya had led the Uchiha clan to kill the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

As soon as he returned, Mei Terumi immediately went to find Byakuya.

They were originally there to cooperate, but now that Bai Ye is in this situation, what the hell are they supposed to do?

"I'm not crazy. I want to kill all the daimyo in the ninja world, or make them abdicate on their own. From now on, there will be no need for daimyo. We can all work together to establish a ninja village and completely unify the world."

"Heh, so we, the Mist Shadows, are also part of your scheme, right?"

After hearing Byakuya's words, Mei Terumi couldn't help but let out a cold smile.

He had been plotting against Kirikage since before. Helping Kirikage was just a pretext. His real purpose was to annex Kirikage. How could Mei Terumi not know what Byakuya was thinking at this point?

"Do you want to go back to the days of economic hardship? Who helped you during the Blood Mist policy? It was me. Who helped you when you were in economic trouble? It was me again. So, am I your benefactor now? And what about your Water Kingdom? It seems you haven't provided much help from beginning to end, have you?"

Mei Terumi did indeed initially come with the intention of using him.

But it's not like I didn't give the other party any benefits, is it?

"Heh, you're absolutely terrifying."

A deep look flashed in Mei Terumi's eyes, and her tone unconsciously carried a hint of distance. She had been tricked by Bai Ye back then. She originally thought Bai Ye was a complete idiot who was lusting after her beauty, so he offered her all sorts of conditions. But now it seemed that the real idiot was herself.

People come with the mindset of using themselves from the very beginning.

"No, it's not that I'm scary, it's just that the world is like this. If you want to change it, you have to plan everything carefully. I'm not forcing you, the Kirigakure, to be the first to choose to join us. If we win, we can overthrow the old order. We are the creators of the new order, and you, Mei Terumi, will become a significant figure in history."

"What if we fail?"

Mei Terumi sneered. Had this guy considered that she had just pulled Kirikage out of the mire? If she had failed, Kirikage would have been completely crushed and might never have been able to rise again.

"Failure is impossible, because I'm here!"

Hearing Bai Ye's confident words made Mei Terumi's eyelids twitch, but she couldn't find a reason to refute Bai Ye, because of him?

"If you win, then what are we, the Kage? According to your logic, we will all eventually merge together. Does that mean we will all be Konoha ninjas?"

A hint of mockery flashed across Yuan Shi's face. He really couldn't understand why Bai Ye would think they would agree to this outrageous request.

They agreed, but after that, is the Fog Shadow still the Fog Shadow?

"No, from now on we will all be in the same ninja village, not Konoha or Kirigakure, and everyone will have a better life. Don't you think it's unfair that this vast land is occupied by a bunch of powerless guys? What we need to do is bring peace to everyone, instead of the first, second, and third Shinobi World Wars where countless ninjas died while the Daimyo were still laughing and joking behind the scenes. This will be the last Shinobi World War during my lifetime!"

It's that same theory again.

Mei Terumi was initially convinced by a similar theory from Byakuya, and she was constantly reminding herself not to be easily fooled. However, after repeatedly scrutinizing Byakuya's words, she found that what Byakuya said was just too wonderful.

Even I myself felt a little longing for it.

"Then how can you guarantee that those who have passed through the Hidden Mist are about the same level as those from Konoha?"

"There's no way to guarantee it. Even the ninjas in our village can't guarantee that everyone will be treated the same. In my opinion, from now on, everyone will be rewarded based on their work."

Wouldn't Bai Ye jump into a trap like this?

Ensuring fairness?

If we can't even guarantee fairness within Konoha, how can we guarantee fairness in other ninja villages?

"In short, the benefits of the merger are that there will be far fewer wars. Although there may be internal strife, it will be within a controllable range, and the Mist Village can recover very quickly."

Internal strife was unavoidable, and Bai Ye made it very clear.

"We can set up a leader and five decision-making bodies. Each of the five people has the right to make decisions, but if four of them agree, then the leader must also agree. In short, we can gradually optimize this policy later. Anyway, we won't let Wuyin suffer any losses."

Of course, Kirigakure is currently dominated by Mei Terumi, and it's impossible for her to join it later.

But the advantage is that they will definitely be able to get a seat later. Similarly, what Byakuya said is right. They can avoid war in the future. By the time it came to Mei Terumi's generation, Kirigakure really didn't want any more war.

They've just ended the Blood Mist policy; who wants to go through another war?

"I agreed!"

"Lord Mizukage?"

Chojuro turned to look at Mei Terumi, who had suddenly spoken. Didn't she say to be wary of Byakuya when she came before?

“I agree because I think there’s one thing that’s right: the daimyo and those nobles shouldn’t exist. Also, if we join, you have to arrange for a marriage between Konoha and Kirigakure!”

Bloodstains!

Mei Terumi narrowed her eyes. She knew she was being used by Bai Ye again, but wasn't she also using Bai Ye?

"You kill the daimyo of the Land of Water, and afterwards you cannot prevent the intermarriage between Kirigakure and Konoha, nor can you exploit Kirigakure economically. Also, tell me information about the masked man!"

Mei Terumi stated her conditions in one breath.

While having Byakuya eliminate the Daimyo of the Land of Water might seem like an attempt to cover up the truth, it would also allow him to distance himself from the situation afterward.

The secret that Bai Ye had to keep was that even if he failed later, he could retreat, also for the sake of Konoha's blood and economy.

Now that they've cleaned up the bloodstains themselves, and their economy is in the same boat, she's naturally happy to rely on Konoha to restore it.

"Alright, I won't stop the marriage, but I won't facilitate it either. If they can choose their own partners, then so be it. I can also help you eliminate the Daimyo of the Land of Water. The masked man is a man who claims to be Uchiha Madara, but we don't know who he is!"

The series of messages from Byakuya left Terumi Mei somewhat bewildered.

Uchiha Madara?

This guy is still alive?

“I have no reason to lie to you. That’s just the information. But no one knows if he is Uchiha Madara. He claims to be Uchiha Madara.”

Kenji Uchiha has no plans to tell Mei Terumi for the time being.

Since she's already claiming to be Uchiha Madara, I might as well give her some information about Uchiha Madara.

"Lord Hokage, if you want us to cooperate, I have one more request. If you do not agree, Kirigakure will not cooperate!"

At this moment, Yuan Shi interrupted their conversation. He didn't care whether the other party was Uchiha Madara or not; what he cared about most now was the condition he was about to propose.

Mei Terumi was clearly taken aback by Genji's words. What did he want to say?

"explain."

"I hope that the Hokage and the Mizukage can form a marriage alliance. This would signify that our cooperation can be seamless, and everyone can temporarily put aside their hatred!"

A glint of light flashed in Yuan Shi's eyes. What was the most valuable bloodstain in the entire Leaf Village?

Of course, it's the Uchiha clan!

Furthermore, Byakuya has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, so his talent is clearly stronger than that of an ordinary Uchiha.

Now, Byakuya's condition is simply to gamble with Kirigakure and Konoha.

They can follow along, but White Night must offer something tangible.

All those previous promises were empty rhetoric, and whether they could be fulfilled was another matter entirely. In Master Yuan's view, the conditions he was proposing now were absolutely the most advantageous for Wuyin at present.

Men conquer the world by force, while women conquer the world by conquering men.

Master Yuan believed that with Mei Terumi's beauty, Byakuya would definitely be moved. Furthermore, if the two had a child in the future, it would deepen their bond, which would reassure him about the cooperation between Konoha and Kirigakure.

"marry?!"

Mei Terumi stood frozen in place, her gaze falling on Genji and Byakuya. Suddenly, she felt a wave of shame wash over her!

Why bring up marriage when we're just talking about alliances?

"That's right, marriage is the perfect opportunity for the Hokage to get married now. Both of you are equals, and you are both handsome men and beautiful women. The Hokage wouldn't look down on the Mizukage in terms of strength, would he? The two of you are a match made in heaven. Why don't you take this opportunity to get married!"

The more Master Yuan spoke, the more he felt it made sense; it seemed like the two were truly a perfect match!

"I will not have an arranged marriage. If I am to get married, it will be to be with someone I love. If I cannot be with someone I love, then I would rather not get married!"

Bai Ye shook his head. Although Mei Terumi was beautiful, he was unwilling to agree to it so easily. He wanted to marry someone he loved, not just someone for the sake of a political marriage.
