Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

After talking with the Sage of Six Paths, Uchiha Gen had made up his demands.

Uchiha Genti had many requirements, but the most important ones were only two.

First, place talismans on the high-ranking members of the Hidden Cloud Village, then remove them after unification to prevent them from resorting to desperate measures.

Secondly, the high-ranking officials of Kumogakure must obey the orders of the high-ranking officials of Konoha. Anyone who disobeys the orders, along with their family and Kumogakure, will be severely punished.

If you control and stabilize the high-ranking officials of Kumogakure, then you control Kumogakure.

Furthermore, by examining both the public and private aspects of the Hidden Cloud Village's leadership and the private aspects of the families within the village, it is possible to control the large forces stationed in various locations by the Hidden Cloud Village from both public and private perspectives.

With that, the overall situation is settled; we can do whatever we want with Kumogakure now...

Uchiha Gen's demands were extremely harsh, but Kumogakure had no bargaining power and could only accept them all.

After dealing with the high-ranking officials of Kumogakure, Uchiha Gen and his group enjoyed a sumptuous and pleasant lunch in Kumogakure before splitting into three groups to carry out their mission.

Some stayed in Kumogakure to handle the aftermath, some went to Kirigakure, and some went to Iwagakure.

Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tailed Beast, the Jinchūriki of the Six-Tailed Beast, and the Jinchūriki of the Seven-Tailed Beast went to Kirigakure, with Zhu Rong in charge of transportation.

Uchiha Gen, Uchiha Madara, Uzumaki Kushina, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, the Fourth Raikage, and Killer Bee head to Iwagakure, with Kōra in charge of transportation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the three legendary Sannin, Pakura, Kakashi, Shisui, and others temporarily remained in Kumogakure.

At 3 PM, Uchiha Gen and his group arrived above Iwagakure in the Land of Earth.

This time, it wasn't Uchiha Gen who led the charge, but rather Uchiha Madara, who called Onoki "kid."

The group landed directly at the entrance of Iwagakure. Before they even hit the ground, Uchiha Madara impatiently plummeted from the sky, his arrogant and domineering voice ringing out.

"That brat Onoki, get out here and see me!"

Boom! Madara Uchiha crashed through the air, creating a sizable crater, with yellowish-brown dust billowing out...

Hearing such arrogant words, the Iwagakure ninja guarding the village entrance was furious and rushed out.

The leader, a Chunin from Iwagakure, roared angrily, "Who dares to act so presumptuously in Iwagakure?"

The ninja world has endured this for over a decade, and the vigilance of various villages has correspondingly decreased.

Madara Uchiha emerged from the smoke and dust with his arms crossed, not bothering to say a word to the Chunin from Iwagakure. With a single sweep of his three-tomoe Sharingan, he had them all trapped in a genjutsu.

Uchiha Gen and the others landed on the ground. Then, with a thought, Uchiha Gen transformed the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Rōshi, into the Four-Tails Son Goku.

The four-tailed Goku raised his head, and Yin-Yang chakra rapidly converged in mid-air, instantly forming a purple Tailed Beast Ball with a diameter of two meters.

The Tailed Beast Ball was spat out by the Four-Tails Son Goku like a cannonball, drawing an upward arc in mid-air.

In Iwagakure, Onoki, who was flying at low altitude, suddenly changed his expression and immediately used Dust Release: a dazzling white beam of light precisely struck the Tailed Beast Ball in flight...

The white light dissipated, and the Tailed Beast Ball disappeared!

"Has Old Zi gone mad?"

"Or did the Four-Tails break free of its seal?"

Upon seeing the four tails at the village entrance, Onoki cursed under his breath.

As for Madara Uchiha's voice, Onoki didn't immediately recognize it...

Although Madara Uchiha left an extremely deep impression on Onoki, he was also a person Onoki did not want to recall.

The sudden appearance of the Four-Tails caused panic in Iwagakure. In addition to ordinary ninjas, many high-ranking and high-level combatants also gathered at the village entrance.

The ninjas were all fast, and soon Onoki appeared at the entrance of the surgical village. The high-ranking officials, including Hirotsuchi, Kurotsuchi, and Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, were also very close.

As Ōnoki flew at low altitude, he spotted Uchiha Gen and the others all at once. His expression froze, and his heart skipped a beat.

The visitors seem ill-intentioned; this is a very bad situation!

"Onoki, you're really slow."

"Slow down a bit, or I'll be tempted to take action."

Onoki asked gravely, "Uchiha Madara, weren't you dead?"

Madara Uchiha grinned and said, "I did die, but a guy named Orochimaru resurrected me."

Damn Orochimaru!

Why revive this guy of all people?

Onoki couldn't help but curse wildly in his heart.

Uchiha Gen stepped forward and said seriously, "Alright, let's get down to business."

"Lord Tsuchikage, our purpose in coming here is to persuade your Iwagakure to surrender to Konoha."

Just then, the high-ranking officials and core combatants of Iwagakure arrived.

Upon hearing Uchiha Gen's words, Kurotsuchi, known for her powerful legs, retorted indignantly, "Why should we surrender?"

Uchiha Gen smiled faintly and said, "On what grounds should I surrender?"

"Miss Heitu, that's a good question."

"First, Sunagakure has already agreed to join Konoha."

"Secondly, the Hidden Cloud Village has already surrendered to the Hidden Leaf Village."

"Third, Kirigakure is on its way to surrender..."

"Orochimaru not only revived Madara, but also the First Hokage Hashirama Senju and the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju."

"In addition, there were the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed, the Two-Tailed, the Six-Tailed, the Seven-Tailed, and the Eight-Tailed who went to Kirigakure."

"Finally, with the forces here added to the mix, does your Iwagakure village even have the right to resist?"

Kurotsuchi, Onoki, and the others were stunned by what they heard. The entire village entrance fell silent, with only the faint sound of the wind.

After a moment, Hei Tu, his face pale and hoarse, said, "Who knows... if what you're saying is true?"

Uchiha Gen raised an eyebrow: "If you all don't believe me, you can take a bet."

"However, the treatment for voluntary surrender and the treatment for involuntary surrender are completely different."

Onoki's face darkened as he asked, "Lord Raikage, Lord Madara, is what the Hokage said true?"

Compared to Uchiha Gen, Ōnoki believed the Fourth Raikage and Uchiha Madara more.

The former goes without saying, while the latter is something Onoki believed was true: given Madara Uchiha's arrogance, he wouldn't stoop to lying about such matters.

The Fourth Raikage said with a wry smile, "Old man Onoki, I really want to tell you that this is false, but it is indeed the truth."

"The Hidden Cloud Village is now under the control of Konoha..."

"For the sake of our shared plight, I advise you not to resist, otherwise you will only bring about your own destruction."

"The power of Konoha is not something that one village can resist. Only by combining the power of the three villages, including the tailed beasts, can we barely be qualified to resist."

"It's barely a chance; the probability of defeat is as high as 70%."

Madara Uchiha said with a cold and arrogant expression, "Wrong. Even if the three villages join forces, you have absolutely no chance of winning."

"You don't need Gen and the others to lift a finger; Hashirama and I alone are enough to take you down!"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage, Onoki, and the others looked even more grim.

Some hot-tempered people couldn't help but want to fight, but they were all restrained by their more rational companions.

Uchiha Gen and Kushina's lips twitched slightly. This was truly...

It has an arrogant and domineering air of "What can you do to me?"

However, Madara Uchiha had the right to be arrogant and domineering.

If Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were to join forces at their peak, or even if the three villages, no, the four villages, were to unite, they would actually have little chance of winning.

That enormous gap in strength cannot be bridged by sheer numbers.

Given Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju's current condition, they can still defeat the three villages, but the process will be much more difficult!
