Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

"The Rinnegan, it really is Madara's!"

Orochimaru found it unbelievable.

Then, he sighed softly, "Another mystery that has puzzled me for so long has been solved."

He had always been curious about the three great dojutsu in the ninja world, but only the Sharingan and Byakugan had ever appeared.

The most mysterious and powerful Rinnegan, known as the "Eye of the Sage," has never appeared.

Jingyan's previous guesses were just that—guesses.

But now.

Everything has been confirmed.

Minato Namikaze sighed and said, "What about Kirigakure..."

"The Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure has been captured. He is suspected of being controlled by genjutsu, but he is a war criminal who has repeatedly started wars, so he certainly cannot be let go."

Kyohiko replied.

The specific arrangements will have to wait until everything settles down.

The immediate focus remains on this heretical demon statue.

"Minato, please bring Temari and Kushina here."

"You want to... okay."

Minato Namikaze nodded and immediately used Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.

Inside the village, Temari stood behind Kushina, looking around with a blank and thoughtful expression.

Konoha is indeed different.

Even under such circumstances, they did not forget ordinary people, especially in Sunagakure...

Although I would help them, I wouldn't think of them first like this.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Aunt Kushina—"

"Call me 'sister'!"

Kushina looked serious.

Temari's lips twitched slightly.

How old are you?

She's almost pregnant, and she still has the nerve to call herself "older sister."

but.

Seeing the other person's serious expression, she chose to back down.

"Kushina-neechan, has Konoha always been like this?"

"What do you mean?"

Kushina looked around, then suddenly realized and said, "The Will of Fire is to protect the villagers and everyone."

"So that's how it is..."

"But even in the best villages, there will always be people with different ways of thinking and ideas, like Danzo in the past, who did not agree with these ideas."

Kushina replied with disgust.

Temari pondered for a long time.

Having gone through hardships and difficulties, she has grown a lot in just a few months, but human nature is complex, and this is something she still cannot understand.

Kushina glanced at it, then chuckled to herself.

As a teacher who had been teaching for a while, she naturally understood that Temari was completely bewildered at the moment.

It seems that the other party didn't understand what I was saying at all.

but.

It doesn't matter.

Kushina patted her head and said, "Just know that in Konoha now, we will do everything we can to save the people in the village, including those from your Sunagakure village."

She smiled.

"Later, I'll take you to find your friends from your village."

"They are not my partners!"

Temari's head is turned outwards.

After a few seconds, she turned her head back and looked at Kushina.

Where is everyone taking refuge?

"I don't know, it's probably in the suburbs, but it should be safe anyway."

……

Outside the village, near the guard post, there was already a huge crowd.

"What's going on with the village?"

"Our home..."

"Has the enemy been driven away?"

Everyone started asking questions.

Inuzuka scratched his ears and cheeks, but couldn't answer for a moment.

All the available ninjas in Konoha were mobilized, with very few spares, and the direction of the massive earthquake and terrifying chakra fluctuations...

Who dares to go see it?

Fugaku did go, but he hasn't returned yet.

Anxious waiting.

After a long while, a figure arrived.

This is……

"Shisui? What brings you here!"

Inuzuka Tsurugi ran over quickly.

Shisui said, "Everyone, Lord Kyohiko has returned. He was fighting the enemy earlier, but the fighting has subsided and it should be over now."

Inuzuka Tsurugi was initially startled, then overjoyed, and asked, "Really?"

"Um!"

Zhi Shui nodded.

Inuzuka Tsurugi, his spirits lifted, shouted, "Great! Everyone, Lord Kyohiko has returned and vanquished the enemy! We can go home soon!"

"Great!!"

The cheers were deafening.

A wave of sound swept across a corner of Konoha.

Cheers erupted.

The dejection of destroyed homes and invaded villages was swept away by the crowd, and the atmosphere became lively, with many strangers embracing each other.

At this moment, they all have only one identity—

Konoha people.

……

From the east, Yagura Karatachi shouted, "Everyone, stop!"

He shouted.

All the Hidden Mist ninja stopped using their weapons.

can.

In reality, even without him shouting, there weren't many Kirigakure ninja left who could survive; basically, only the Hozuki clan was still putting up a stubborn resistance.

The rest...

Most of them died from Kaguya Eisuke's ninjutsu, and many others died at the hands of Konoha people.

Yagura's eyes were filled with confusion.

He only had a small part of his memories of the life he was controlled, but with Madara's death, many memories slowly flooded into his mind.

He stood there stunned for a long time.

The Village of Blood Mist, the Kaguya Clan, the Yuki Clan, and the constant warfare.

The Hidden Mist Village of today...

"What did I do?"

Yagura found it hard to believe.

He destroyed Kirigakure!

In Kirigakure today, only one in ten promising talents remains, and the culprit for all of this is him—

Yagura, a type of citrus.

How could Kirigakure have come to this point under his control?

"Mizukage, isn't it a little too late to regret it now? Your actions were so heinous that we can easily launch a counterattack against Kirigakure!"

Tsunade's gaze was cold.

She knew that the person in front of her might be being manipulated, but for Konoha, the fact that Kirigakure cooperated with Madara and White Zetsu to attack Konoha was undeniable.

Yagura lowered his head, speechless: "Hokage-sama, Kirigakure is willing to surrender!"

……

In the forest of death.

Jingyan forms a hand seal.

The next instant, under the control of the Rinnegan, one by one, the tailed beasts were spat out from the Gedo Mazo.

The portion belonging to Shukaku instantly entered Temari's body.

then--

Nine tails, eight tails...

Even more tailed beasts were released directly.

Within Konoha's Forest of Death, a multitude of powerful and terrifying tailed beasts stand tall.

They watched Kyohiko silently.

They had witnessed everything that had happened, especially the most powerful eight-tailed and nine-tailed creatures, which were now obediently sealed away.

What else is there for them to be conflicted about?

but.

"I helped you, so let me out now!"

The nine-tailed clones were very annoyed.

"Don't rush."

Jingyan smiled faintly.

"You can return to your previous residences. I will order all countries and ninja villages not to invade. Konoha will protect you."

"yes!"

They lowered their heads.

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Quickly, release me!"

"You were sealed inside the Jinchuriki. If you are completely released, they may die, so some of you must remain."

Jingyan explained.

Nine-Tails thought for a moment and replied, "That's fine too, it's better than staying inside her body."

"Hey, what's wrong with you staying here?"

Kushina was furious.

Temari thought for a moment, but didn't say anything more.

The power of the tailed beasts...

Originally, it should have been under the jurisdiction of each village, but since Sunagakure and Takigakure couldn't even protect the Tailed Beasts themselves, they naturally had no right to speak.

As for Kumogakure and Iwagakure...

Why ask the enemy for their opinion?

The Third Raikage was killed by Kyohiko, not to mention the distribution of their Tailed Beasts.

not to mention.

Temari has long wanted to get rid of the influence of the tailed beasts.

Shukaku was causing trouble inside her every day, influencing her emotions with its chakra and making it difficult for her to sleep.

but.

She knew it very well.

The Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts are a vital force for a village, and no one would give them up.

She originally thought that Konoha wouldn't either.

But now—

Konoha was actually willing to release the Tailed Beasts.

This was something she hadn't expected at all.

Konoha is truly different!

The reason why Jingyan dared to do this is very simple.

He's strong enough!

Konoha is strong enough!

To put it bluntly, although he released the tailed beast, he added one condition—

No village or country is allowed to harass the Tailed Beast.

This is still regarding the tailed beasts. There will certainly be other restrictions on the ninja villages and ninjas, but those are matters of surrender and reparations after the war.

Kyohiko helped Kushina and Temari extract most of the power of the tailed beasts.

After the nine-tailed fox emerged, it wanted to roar to the sky, but after thinking about it, it stopped itself.

With Kyohiko's petty nature...

If you want to vent, you might end up getting slapped.

It's better to be honest!

It thought to itself silently.

"Now—"

"I will arrange for you to go back in a while. For now, you should shrink your size and live here."

"Kyohiko said."

Nine-tailed Fox excitedly jumped up and down.

Kushina hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.

she knows.

The Nine-Tailed Fox yearns for freedom and longs to return.

That's it!

She sighed.

Life without freedom is truly meaningless.

She smiled and said, "Nine Lama, if you want to come back, you can come home anytime. Just consider this place another home for me."

"Tch, who would go back to your lousy place? Don't dream about it! I have a whole world where I can run wild..."

Nine-Tailed Fox excitedly imagined it.

Jingyan smiled slightly.

Speaking too soon will only lead to being proven wrong.

The Nine-Tails clone lives in Kushina's house, watching TV and programs all day long, living a leisurely life like an old man.

Although it is a clone, the clone represents the personality and thoughts of the original body.

Can it really endure its past life after leaving human society?

not necessarily!

The Nine-Tailed Fox will return sooner or later.

Emotion is the best force to bind this guy.

The same goes for the Eight-Tailed Gyūki.

The relationship between Ushioni and Killer Bee...

Without a doubt, this guy will definitely have some dealings with Killer Bee after he goes back.

After they had run around freely, everyone left, leaving only Orochimaru frowning inside the research base.

"Kyohiko, you're being too reckless!"

"Senior, you're out of touch. If we don't put them back, how can we lower their guard?"

Jingyan smiled.

What he wants is for everyone to learn the Will of Fire of Konoha, to learn such thoughts and spirit.

Only in this way can the ideology of the ninja world be unified.

Simply using force to intimidate will make the enemy feel fear, but at the same time it will also make them wary and respectful, and they will not dare to lower their guard and learn.

The future is still long.

He estimated that he could live for at least a few decades more.

No matter what—

With gradual reform throughout his lifetime, he could make these four great powers submit to him.

How can you expect to receive if you don't give first?

Unifying the ninja world isn't that difficult.

And now...

"It's time to collect interest from Onoki."

A fierce glint flashed in Jingyan's eyes.

Onoki was always jumping around, and he was present in several Shinobi World Wars.

This person is definitely not an ordinary person!

He could spare the lives of anyone, except this person…

They must die!

Thinking of this, Kyohiko looked at Orochimaru.

"Senior, I still have to go to the north. I'll leave Konoha to you."

"Ohnoki?"

"Yes, I can't rest easy until he's dead."

Jingyan sneered.

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "The fact that you still remember this proves that you haven't been misled by power, so I'm at ease."

He was worried...

After gaining power beyond his own, Kyohiko began to lose sight of his original intentions and began to regard himself as a god.

Such situations are not uncommon.

Orochimaru once had a similar mindset.

For ordinary people, falling into such a state of mind means losing oneself, but for Kyohiko…

If this guy were to fall to this state, it would be a disaster and a catastrophe for the ninja world.

Even Orochimaru felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of that scene.

Fortunately.

Looking at it now, Kyohiko is still lucid.

……

In the north, where Rain Village is located.

When Onoki saw that Hiroto had been captured and witnessed Nagato's incredible power, his heart sank.

He wanted to surrender.

can.

At this point, Amegakure and Sunagakure were no longer in a hurry.

"Luo Sha, what exactly do you mean?"

Hanzo frowned, looking rather puzzled.

Isn't the current situation quite clear?

Why did Rasa refuse to surrender?

Luo Sha had no choice but to offer a reminder.

"Chief Hanzo, this war is not only our war against Iwagakure, but also a war between Konoha and them. One side is still missing. Who is willing to surrender?"

"Well……"

Hanzo found it difficult to answer immediately.

This is true.

He nodded slightly, acknowledging his mistake.

After waiting for so long, finally...

One person entered and explained the situation.

Kyohiko has arrived!

The two of them quickly went out to greet them.

"Kyohiko-kun".

"My lords, seeing that the situation here has been stabilized, I am very glad that Nagato did not arrive a moment too late."

Jingyan smiled.

Hanzo paused for a moment.

Nagato?

Nagato, who was with Yahiko and Konan, actually went to Konoha?

He didn't quite understand at first.

In this war, they did indeed have the upper hand, especially when Nagato grabbed the loess, it was simply a stroke of genius.

He could hardly believe that such an astonishing speed existed.

but.

Looking at it now, Nagato is related to Kyohiko...

He thought about the connection between the two and vaguely realized that the other party's ability might have come from Kyohiko.

So.

The initiative in this war is now in Konoha's hands.

In addition, Yahiko, Konan...

Half-hidden in his heart, a faint unease arose.

Konoha's reach is too long!

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about it, because these three were originally trained by Jiraiya.

He reluctantly gathered his thoughts back into his mind before explaining the current situation in detail.

Kyohiko's answer was simple—

Onoki must die!

Onoki's proactive invasion of the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain reveals his ambitious intentions.

This is a great opportunity.

"But what if Ohnoki disagrees..."

"He'll agree; if he doesn't, then make him agree!"

Jingyan's tone was indifferent.

Luo Sha and Hanzo exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

What happened between Konoha and Iwagakure?

Kyohiko actually harbors such hatred for Onoki...

Luo Sha thought for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Alright, then, should we inform Onoki about your arrival?"

"certainly."

Jingyan smiled.

If we don't let Onoki know, how can that guy give up?

"Tell him that Madara is dead, the Third Raikage is dead, and as the culprits of this war, he and the Fourth Mizukage are definitely going to die too. No one can escape."

Is Ban dead?

Luo Sha and Hanzo finally couldn't hide their expressions.

Madara Uchiha is indeed still alive, and he has even launched an attack on Konoha!

Moreover, he died at the hands of Konoha?

This……

How is that possible?

Has Jingyan become this powerful now?

They lowered their heads, their eyes filled with horror.

"I see."

Hanzo replied.

He and Luo Sha walked towards the opposite battle formation without speaking to each other, but the silence spoke volumes.

That's it!

This war was surprisingly a joint attack launched by three parties.

The core of the war is Konoha; they were merely caught in the crossfire.

Konoha fought three enemies single-handedly and beat them all up!

terrible!

This generation of Konoha is even more awe-inspiring than the era of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

"Hanzo, it seems we need to make a choice."

"Are there any other options?"

Hanzo answered bitterly.

Luo Sha nodded slightly.

Yes!

Are there any other options?

He and Hanzo walked forward, step by step.

Until they reached the front lines of the Iwagakure ninja.

Ōnoki flew out.

"Have you made up your minds?"

"Yes, Onoki, please commit suicide. This is Kyohiko's will, and it is also our will."

Rasa said, "As the culprits behind several wars, you and Iwagakure should pay the price."

"Kyohiko..."

Onoki's eyes widened.

Why mention Kyohiko?

He's here?

Hanzo said, "Kyohiko is right behind us. He asked me to tell you that Madara is dead, the Third Raikage is dead, and you and the Mizukage will die too. No one can escape."

"Is Madara dead?"

Onoki muttered to himself, incredulous.

He opened his mouth several times, but then fell silent again.

"I want to see him!"

He doesn't believe it.

He knew Madara's strength well; no matter how powerful Kyohiko was, how could Madara, who possessed the power of a tailed beast, be inferior to him...

The next second, a voice came.

"If I make a move, it will be something your Iwagakure village can't handle."

Hanzo looked in the direction of the sound.

Kyohiko...

It really is him!

This aura is unmistakable.

Onoki opened his mouth several times, and finally said bitterly, "I understand, please give me some time."

"If you win, will you still give us time to prepare?"

Jingyan countered, "I'll only give you time to write one letter."

"I see."

Onoki nodded heavily.

He knew that from the moment Ban was defeated, he had no choice.

Kyohiko is neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor Danzo.

This guy is very clear about gains and losses.

Onoki felt heavy-hearted and his thoughts were in turmoil.

He was naturally unwilling to die, but for the sake of everyone in Iwagakure, he had no choice but to agree to Kyohiko's request.

Onoki wrote a letter and asked Kyohiko to deliver it to Hiroto.

If Kyohiko loses, then...

He has more time to train a successor.

Jingyan won, but he ran out of time and could only choose Huangtu as his successor.

Jingyan turned to look at him.

"Oh, right, you've been tricked. If Madara really succeeds, he'll project a powerful genjutsu onto the moon..."

"At that time, everyone will die, including everyone in your Iwagakure village. Just for that reason alone, you should all commit suicide!"

Jingyan smiled as he spoke, "Of course, you can also think I'm lying."

"This is impossible..."

Onoki stood there, lost in thought.

But he knew that Jingyan had no reason to lie to a "dead man".

It's highly likely that Ban really does have such a plan.

If Madara wins, an unprecedented catastrophe awaits the ninja world.

"I can't believe I'm working with someone like that..."

It's like asking a tiger for its skin!

He quietly wrote a letter and then handed it to Kyohiko.

After that, Onoki walked towards his own ninja line.

He wanted to say a few final words.

After a long while...

From that direction came cries of anguish.

Onoki committed suicide! (End of Chapter)
