The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 216 The Unification of the Three Kingdoms

Three days later, the army of the Council of Nations had been decimated, with most of its soldiers gone. The soldiers' eyes had lost their former brilliance, replaced by deep despair and fear.

The plummeting morale was like an invisible plague, rapidly spreading to every corner, causing upheavals within the army, and the once iron discipline vanished.

Amidst this chaos, the rulers of the alien races anxiously searched for the true Dragon King, hoping that the invincible and arrogant Diamond Dragon King, Azure Dragon King, and Platinum Dragon King would step forward to quell the situation.

But what awaited them was an empty dragon's nest; the majesty of the former true dragon king had long since vanished.

A sense of powerlessness instantly overwhelmed the ruler, and all hope for the entire Council vanished in that moment.

The entire council country was immediately thrown into chaos. Upon learning the news, Yagura Karatachi of Kirigakure, with great resolve, mobilized the entire nation to launch an attack.

More than three thousand ninjas swept through the area like locusts.

Wherever it went, the voices of resistance were quickly silenced, and blood stained the earth. The resistance of the Council of Nations seemed so pale and powerless under this fierce offensive, until it was completely defeated!

"Your Majesty, the powers that are close to the Kingdom, the Empire, the Holy Kingdom, and the states we have conquered have been taken over, and the entire territory is now connected."

Minako Uzumaki stood inside the magnificent hall, her voice gentle yet firm.

Because of her pregnancy, she no longer wore the fitted secretary's uniform, but returned to her original kimono, which fluttered gracefully, like a blooming cherry blossom, elegant and charming.

Inside the hall, golden light filled every corner, the gemstones inlaid on the walls shimmered with dazzling brilliance, and a huge crystal chandelier hung from the dome, emitting a soft glow.

The Kage of the three hidden villages gathered together, flanked by the commanders of the three military regions, their eyes all focused on Uchiha Takeo, who was at the head of the group.

Below, about twenty elites who held high positions and wielded great power in the ninja world listened quietly, and the entire hall was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

Minako Uzumaki gently flicked the sleeves of her kimono and walked slowly toward Takeo Uchiha. Every movement was as smooth as flowing water, extremely elegant.

After standing still, she lowered her head slightly, clasped her hands in front of her, and her voice flowed out like a clear spring.

"Your Majesty, the alien forces in the northwest of the continent are still the desert city in the south of the kingdom, the Holy Kingdom which connects to the sea in the southwest, and the Dragon Kingdom and the Forest Elf Kingdom to the east of the theocracy."

Uchiha Muan's gaze was as deep as the sea. He nodded slightly, signaling Uzumaki Minako to continue.

Minako Uzumaki said softly, "Your Majesty, our forces have now joined together, and our territory covers half of the ninja world continent. Should we change the place names and country titles of our various forces to demonstrate the ninja world's dominance over this area?"

During her questioning, Minako Uzumaki activated the Heavenly Eye System, projecting a map of the northwest corner of the Magic Continent in the center of the hall. The map showed the territories of power, which excited everyone present.

In particular, the three Shadows who attacked the three countries had such burning eyes that they wished they could swallow the Church, the Council, and the Empire whole.

They shed blood and made contributions; they deserve abundant land and a large population!

The Fourth Mizukage, Genshi; the Fifth Tsuchikage, Han; and the First Amekage, Hanzo the Salamander—the three exchanged a glance, none of them daring to speak first.

The ninja world leaders sitting on the platform were as vast and boundless as the heavens and earth, while the others were like frogs at the bottom of a well, completely unable to comprehend the level that Uchiha Muan had reached.

Especially after witnessing the Dragon Emperor's strength and disheveled state, Han, who had prepared his prepared remarks in his mind, completely abandoned them when facing Uchiha Wu'an, remaining silent and listening respectfully.

He remembered how the Fourth Tsuchikage, Rōshi, died, and Han absolutely did not want Iwagakure, which had already suffered heavy losses, to suffer the same fate again.

Without him, Iwagakure will definitely be overtaken by Sunagakure!

Chiyo, who was standing below, surrounded by the aura of wind and frost and whose strength had reached a new level, looked at the map above and her gaze fell on the desert city.

When Sunagakure first entered the Magic Continent, they split into two groups, with Chiyo leading one group herself.

Under the arrangement of Uchiha Muan, they explored the Tobu Great Forest, witnessed Uzumaki Minako sealing the [Destruction Dragon King], swept through the Angelicia Mountains behind the forest, eliminated the Digtu Beastmen, conquered the Dwarf Kingdom, and captured the Frost Dragon lineage.

Deep within the mountains dwell the Flame Dragon and the Giant, whose leaders are all at the Morning Star level. With Chiyo struggling alone, her younger brother Ebina lived up to the expectations of the Sand Village and broke through to the Morning Star level.

With the combined efforts of the siblings and the valiant struggle of dozens of Jonin and hundreds of Chunin, only the Flame Dragon in the last underground lava zone of the Angelicia Mountains remained unconquered.

Because this fire dragon has already been chosen by the Uchiha clan, and with the Frost Dragon Knight as a precedent, the Uchiha clan also wants to have their own fire dragon knight!

With the Sharingan, Fire Release, Lava Release, and the power of the Flame Dragon, the strongest clan in the world will always be, and can only be, the Uchiha clan!

The other group, led by Bunpuku, the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, ventured into a desert city, enduring hardships and encountering powerful desert monsters along the way.

Desert crabs, giant subterranean insects, scavenging vultures...

If it weren't for the fact that the sealing space within his body had been strengthened by the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, allowing Bunpuku's strength to steadily remain at the Morning Star level, the entire Sand Village army would likely have been wiped out along this journey.

Finally, we arrived at the desert city, a city of sin where all the most vicious people from the surrounding countries gathered.

Given the strength of Bunpuku's team, the only way to take down the desert city with two Morning Star Domain members is to master the complete Tailed Beast transformation.

Not being particularly skilled in tactics, Fenfu is engaged in minor skirmishes with the local forces in the city, maintaining a stalemate of mutual distrust.

However, with the news of the successive surrenders of the three major nations, it was only a matter of time before the desert city surrendered. This relieved Chiyo, but also made her feel a little regretful that Sunagakure could not achieve the perfect ending of two successes.

The manpower, material resources, and financial resources invested by Sunagakure were comparable to those of other hidden villages, even surpassing those of Amegakure, which had a weaker foundation.

"The ninja world has gained a great deal this time. I hope His Majesty will conduct another ranking of ninja villages. At the very least, we should restore the title of Kazekage to Sunagakure."

After working so hard for so long, Chiyo's greatest hope was to wear the Kazekage's hat again and make Sunagakure great once more.

She glanced at the Fifth Tsuchikage, who had suffered heavy losses, and even felt a little relieved.

If Iwagakure hadn't replaced Sunagakure, this tragedy would probably have happened to Sunagakure.
