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

"Me too, Master Yuan, please don't make that request. Let's cooperate then. If we like each other after this, we'll be together, but I don't need this kind of arranged marriage!"

Mei Terumi had a cold expression, but she was also extremely angry inside.

Before she could even refuse, Bai Ye spoke first.

However, what Bai Ye said was actually her true feeling. Indeed, Bai Ye matched her understanding of a prince charming in every way, and in her opinion, Bai Ye was definitely a very good marriage partner.

But he was good in every way except for the lack of emotional foundation, so Mei Terumi naturally wouldn't agree to it so easily.

"That's okay"

Master Yuan opened his mouth, but in the end he decided to agree. He also resolved that he would do whatever it took to bring the two of them together.

Is there anyone in the entire ninja world more compatible than the two of them?

In Konoha, those who are prettier than Mei Terumi are not as strong as her, and those who are both prettier and stronger than Mei Terumi are quite old. So, Mei Terumi is the perfect match for Byakuya!

The two sides then discussed some details, and once they were both satisfied, Shikaku couldn't help but joke, "Hokage-sama, how come you didn't agree to marry the Mizukage who is so good-looking? Are you worried about Tsunade-sama?"

It has to be said that right after Yuan Shi made this condition, Lu Jiu almost agreed on Bai Ye's behalf.

This is a good thing!

If the Hokage marries the Mizukage, won't all the Kirigakure members have to listen to Byakuya from now on?

However, Byakuya refused. The only thing Shikaku could think of was that Byakuya was worried that Tsunade would be angry, after all, Tsunade and Byakuya had a secret of staying in the office for three days straight!

He will keep this secret for the rest of his life!

"You don't understand. If I had agreed just now, Mei Terumi would have definitely turned on me."

Although she talked about cooperation, if she had actually agreed to the marriage, Mei Terumi would have definitely turned on him on the spot.

No matter what, Mei Terumi has her own pride, and this approach will only make Mei Terumi look down on me.

"That's true. Women really are a hassle. If Yekura from Sunagakure really helps us achieve that, are we really going to make her the Kazekage?"

“Yes, if we intervene directly, it will cause fierce internal resistance there. But if we kill Rasa and let Pakura take over, then Sunagakure will be more capable of taking over. The same applies to the other two ninja villages. In any case, it is best to overthrow their Kage and then support a puppet. Only Kumogakure is the most difficult to do!”

Other ninja villages are fine, but Kumogakure (Cloud Village) reveres martial prowess, so if you randomly choose one, the other village might not submit at all.

With Yekura managing Sunagakure and Mei Terumi serving as Mizukage, I would control three ninja villages. I could figure out how to manage the remaining two.

Then, news of the killing of the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Water spread like wildfire, and no one knew who had done it.

All I know is that they all died overnight.

Meanwhile, the Mizukage in the Land of Fire claimed that it was the Sand Village that did it, and they decided to take revenge on the Sand Village!

The ninja world landscape instantly shifted to Konoha, with Kirigakure facing off against Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure, and ninjas from all sides gathering at the border.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 130 Konoha vs. the Entire Ninja World? No! It's me, Uchiha Byakuya!

"I really didn't expect you to be able to persuade those guys from the Mist Shadow."

Lu Jiu was somewhat moved; even now, this series of changes still left him in awe.

The addition of Kirigakure greatly alleviated the pressure on Konoha's battle lines.

"There are still many resources in the Land of Fire that have not been taken over, but many ninja clans have already made a fortune. All Konoha has to pay is the crime of being attacked by other major powers. But in the eyes of Kirigakure, that is no different from nothing. This is a real benefit, and Kirigakure needs this benefit now."

Ultimately, it all comes down to interests. In the past, everyone followed this rule: ninjas would wage war as a military organization to establish a ninja village, and the daimyo would provide supplies to ensure the ninjas' survival.

In the past, everyone was willing to abide by the rules, but now, apart from seeing the Daimyo come out and shout a few times, they are completely powerless against Konoha. In fact, they are killed by Byakuya and his men after they finish speaking.

How could Wuyin not be tempted?

A group of powerless people were in control of them. Anyone would be unhappy in that situation, but no one thought about it back then.

"That's true. After we followed you to defeat the daimyo, our Nara family has benefited a lot!"

Konoha's plate was indeed too small, and no one could eat much. But after the nobles of the Land of Fire were wiped out, these beneficiaries became them, and everyone ate until their mouths were greasy.

Perhaps at first everyone disagreed with the idea of ​​Byakuya killing the daimyo, but because Byakuya was the Hokage, strong, and had the Uchiha clan behind him, everyone silently agreed to it.

But once they actually received the benefits, all the previous disagreements turned into agreement.

Even the villagers of Konoha applauded, because they had truly benefited. Furthermore, after Byakuya took a portion of the profits, he also shared some with the civilians of the Land of Fire, which led to the Land of Fire beginning to accept this situation.

Without the fame, life is actually better.

"So Kirigakure is definitely happy about it, and wouldn't they go back and start consuming those resources now? By the way, Shikaku, write me a few letters. The content of the letters should be inviting the Kage of other ninja villages to kill their village's Daimyo. Then have someone send one copy to the Kage and one copy to the Daimyo's intelligence agents, pretending that they intercepted them."

"A calculated scheme!"

After listening to Byakuya's words and thinking about them carefully, Shikaku couldn't help but admire Byakuya's thoughtfulness.

What happened to the saying that Uchiha people who don't use their brains will be reckless brutes their whole lives?

Everyone knew that this letter was deliberately sent to them by Konoha to disgust them.

Normally, no one would take it seriously, but things are different now. Konoha just killed the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and the Daimyo of the Land of Water is also dead. So what will the Daimyo of the other three countries think?

Whether or not this letter is important is no longer important; what is important is that they can no longer trust their own ninja village.

Once a crack appears, things can never go back to the way they were before.

"Jiraiya went to the Land of Earth battlefield, and Tsunade went to the Sand Village. Are you going to the Cloud Village?"

The Hidden Cloud Village is the strongest among the other ninja villages, and besides A, it also has two tailed beasts.

Because of the tailed beasts, Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha went to the Iwa ninja battlefield.

The Sharingan has an advantage in dealing with tailed beasts.

Meanwhile, on the Sand Village battlefield, Tsunade was dealing with Chiyo, while Pakura was dealing with Rasa. The tailed beasts in Sand Village had not yet been fully developed and were still like children in Konoha.

Similarly, due to the participation of Kirigakure, Konoha held an absolute advantage, even on the side of Sunagakure.

On the other hand, the Hidden Cloud Village also possesses two tailed beasts, including the Eight-Tails. Moreover, both the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails are currently in their prime. In addition, the Hidden Cloud Village reveres strength, so the Jinchūriki there are stronger than those of other Jinchūriki.

"can."

Kumogakure is a perfect example of a ninja village that can't be dealt with by words alone; the only thing that can be used is force.

"Big brother, do those idiots in Konoha really think we would do that?"

"Shut up!"

Ai glared at Killer Bee, then rubbed his forehead in frustration and said, "Samui, what do we do next?"

Although he may seem like a brute, he actually possesses his own wisdom. He was certainly aware of Bai Ye's scheme, which was to sow discord between them and the Daimyo.

But there's nothing you can do about it.

In fact, Ai was also considering whether or not to kill the Daimyo.

After all, judging from Konoha and Kirigakure, it doesn't seem like there's much risk in killing the Daimyo.

"For now, I suggest maintaining a good relationship with the Daimyo. After what happened, the Daimyo won't turn against us now. Konoha can do that, but we might not be able to."

Samui shook her head and, looking at the restless Ai, expressed her opinion: in Samui's view, it was absolutely not the same as Konoha at this time.

Konoha can do it, but they can't!

"why?"

Ai scratched his head in frustration. It was just a matter of killing the daimyo, but these ninja villages were also eager to take action.

If Konoha has done it, they can do it too!

There's no loss in killing the daimyo anyway!

"Because this was something Konoha had planned for a long time. They must have planned it before they took action, so they could quickly take over everything in the Land of Fire after they did. But we can only do it temporarily. The consequence of doing it temporarily is that our speed is definitely not as fast as Konoha's. If it were any other time, we could take action now, but now we are preparing for war with Konoha. The main force has already arrived at the front line. How can we do anything else?"

Isn't that obvious?

They've been planning this for a long time, while you're just acting on a whim. How can you compare them?

"Damn it, it seems like the Daimyo and his ilk are just holding us back now. But after we take down Konoha this time, we'll take down the Daimyo too!!"

Ai also understood that things would most likely not turn out as he thought. Indeed, the speed at which Konoha acted astonished the entire ninja world. He also understood that it was impossible for him to replicate Konoha's actions, and that the Daimyo of Kirigakure was most likely taken down with the help of Konoha.

Otherwise, how could they possibly cooperate with Konoha to deal with those three ninja villages?

"The situation isn't exactly friendly to us. The Uchiha clan and Jiraiya are holding off the Iwagakure, Tsunade went to the Sand Village, and the Kirigakure has joined the Sand Village's battle. We have to face most of Konoha's fighting force and their Kage alone!"

Samui's biggest worry is the Hokage, that guy who was able to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo in front of so many people in Konoha.

This guy's fighting power must be terrifying.

"The Hokage are nothing but cowards. In my opinion, every Hokage is pretty much the same. The Second Hokage died at the hands of our Kumogakure, and the Third Hokage even gave in after being threatened by us."

Leaving aside the First and Fourth Hokage for now, A felt that the Naruto series was pretty much over after all, especially considering those two Hokage.

They crippled themselves by killing Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo. If they were to bring both of them to the Cloud Village battlefield, along with Byakuya, he might be a little more afraid.

What is their lineup?

With himself, the Eight-Tails, the Two-Tails, and a group of elite Jonin from Kumogakure, how could they possibly lose?

"That's what they say, but should we agree to the situation Ohnoki described?"

"Heh, that old guy really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"

A hint of disdain flashed across Ai's face, but at the same time, she felt a sense of resistance deep down.

This alliance with Onoki already disgusted him.

After all, the Third Hokage died at the hands of the Iwa ninja. If it weren't for the more important issues facing Konoha this time, they would still be fighting.

But one has to admire Onoki. If you really did follow Onoki's idea and combined the ninjas from both sides, they would have a total of four tailed beasts.

Since Takigakure Village will also participate in the war, they will gain another tailed beast.

Because Konoha killed a daimyo, the originally neutral countries immediately became restless. These daimyo naturally could not allow this to happen, as it would harm their interests.

Therefore, the Land of Waterfall sent the Village of Waterfall to fight against the Leaf Village, and also sent the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

The Land of Iron, as a neutral party, was ordered by the Daimyo to attack on the eastern front of the Land of Fire, while the Land of Rivers and the Land of Grass joined forces with the Sand Village on the southwestern front.

The daimyo of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Nutō, will also join forces with the ninjas of the Land of Waterfall.

The effects in the southeast direction of Konoha were entirely entrusted to Kirigakure.
