Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

At this point, Uchiha Gen dispelled his Susanoo, stepped on the clouds, and slowly floated down from the sky...

"I won't agree!" Uchiha Sasuke raised his right hand high, his face flushed red.

Naruto wanted to raise his hand and express his support, but a voice in his mind kept telling him, "This is wrong," so he didn't speak up immediately.

Sasuke broke the silence, and the Uchiha clan ninjas woke up, shouting "No way!" with red faces and thick necks.

With someone taking the lead, things become much easier.

Other bloodline families with more prestigious bloodlines immediately voiced their support, followed by secret techniques and family affairs, and finally ordinary ninjas.

"I won't agree!"

"I won't agree!"

"I won't agree!"

"..."

The ninjas roared in unison, creating a frenzied atmosphere that shook the heavens!

Out of consideration for the fact that "they are not lowly," and influenced by the fervent atmosphere, the common people of Konoha could not restrain their impulses and began to shout as well.

For ordinary people, it was nothing that ninjas were above them, but nobles had been above them for over a thousand years.

These days, changing things up doesn't really make any difference; in fact, it might even lead to a better life...

As the civilians joined in, the atmosphere grew increasingly frenzied, and with Sasuke and Sakura's support, Naruto couldn't help but shout too...

On the rooftop, Jiraiya looked at Uchiha Gen's back with a complicated expression. Was this really the right thing to do?

This is absolutely insane; it makes me feel uneasy...

However, it was an inevitable trend, and everyone else on the rooftop raised their watches to show their support. Jiraiya hesitated for a moment before also raising his watch to show his support.

Well, nobles are indeed no good.

They've done too many dirty things; cleaning them up might not be such a bad thing...

However, we must be wary of ninjas becoming corrupt nobles; if ninjas become corrupt, they are far more terrifying than nobles.

He should offer some suggestions for prevention and restriction in the future.

We may not be able to prevent all ninjas from falling into depravity, but we must ensure that the majority of ninjas do not fall into depravity!

Just as Jiraiya made up his mind, Uchiha Gen landed back on the edge of the rooftop, raised his hands, and slowly pressed down...

Upon seeing Uchiha Gen's actions, the scene quickly fell silent.

"Very good, you all still have courage and wisdom."

"The nobility is a mountain we must overthrow; the other mountain we must dismantle is war!"

"Only by overthrowing these two great mountains can the tragedy of the ninja world be prevented from repeating itself, and only then can ninjas achieve happiness!"

"How can we overthrow these two mountains?"

"My view is to reach a consensus!"

"Let Konoha be the only ninja village in the world, let all other countries disappear, and finally establish a new country with Konoha as its core!"

"This country is the world!"

"If we're all one family, there won't be any wars; at most, there might be some minor disputes."

"I have already done some things with the village leadership for this purpose."

"Please ask them to come over."

At Uchiha Genichi's command, Pakura, wearing the Kazekage hat and Kazekage robe, was the first to walk to Uchiha Genichi's side with a bright smile.

The Fourth Raikage A, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, and the Fourth Mizukage Yagura appeared from the stairs, each wearing a kage hat from their respective village and a shrine robe from their respective village.

He just had a forced smile on his face...

The three of them really didn't want to come out and embarrass themselves, but they had no choice but to bow their heads when they were under someone else's roof, especially since Uchiha Gen had promised them benefits they had no choice but to accept.

The benefit is that it allows the ninjas from the three villages to serve in the new country in the future; if they don't cooperate, the benefit is lost.

Uchiha Gen said with a smile, "Please, the four of you, state your opinions."

With a bright and sincere smile, Yekura proclaimed loudly, "I am the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure."

"On behalf of Sunagakure, I announce that Sunagakure will be integrated into Konoha as the main body of Konoha. From now on, we are no longer allies, but truly one family!"

The Fourth Raikage, Ai, forced a smile and loudly proclaimed, "I am the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure."

"On behalf of Kumogakure, I announce Kumogakure's surrender to Konoha and that we are at the mercy of Konoha's leadership."

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, forced a smile and loudly proclaimed, "I am the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure."

"On behalf of Iwagakure, I announce Iwagakure's surrender to Konoha and will be at the disposal of Konoha's leadership."

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, forced a smile and loudly proclaimed, "I am the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure."

"On behalf of Kirigakure, I announce Kirigakure's surrender to Konoha, and we are at the mercy of Konoha's leadership."

Upon hearing the four Kage's statement, the scene fell silent. Everyone was shocked, slowly processing the astonishing news...

A moment later, thunderous cheers erupted again. Everyone was excitedly discussing, their faces flushed, their words slurred, and they were gesturing wildly as they communicated with those around them.

Uchiha Gen watched with a smile, letting everyone vent their emotions...

"Lord Hokage, Lord Hokage..."

Uchiha Itachi abandoned his composed and reserved demeanor, his eyes burning with fervor, his face flushed, veins bulging on his neck, and he raised his right hand high, shouting at the top of his lungs.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but recall the scene of Gen Uchiha telling him and Shisui about the clan's history, the ills of the ninja world, and his own aspirations...

So Brother Xuan had already done something so big without anyone knowing. He's really amazing!

Now, they are not far from realizing their shared dream...

Itachi's initiative immediately garnered support from the Uchiha clan's ninjas, and soon ninjas from various clans, ordinary ninjas, and civilians also spoke up.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Hokage-sama!"

"Hokage-sama!"

"..."

The sounds gradually changed from chaotic to uniform, and once again they shook the heavens!

Uchiha Gen made no attempt to be reserved, closing his eyes, opening his arms, and responding to his supporters with an expression of pure enjoyment…

Two breaths later, Uchiha Gen opened his eyes and slowly lowered his arms. The scene quieted down much faster than before, almost instantly.

At this moment, Uchiha Gen's prestige can be said to have surpassed that of the combined First Hokage, Second Hokage, Third Hokage, and Fourth Hokage!

"Gentlemen!"

"I've already tackled the three toughest challenges with the help of the village leadership. The rest are up to you."

"I will send the village's high-ranking officials to lead you to conquer other small ninja villages and the noble forces of various countries."

"You are not fighting alone; you have comrades from Konoha, and comrades from the four great ninja villages."

"My principle regarding the enemy is to force them to surrender if possible."

"Therefore, once you arrive at your destination, you should explain the situation as clearly as possible and let the enemy make their own choice."

"The greatest credit goes to the leader and the entire team for subduing the enemy without fighting!"

"Those who refuse to surrender and resist stubbornly, except for infants who cannot remember anything, shall be killed without mercy!"

"But you must remember one thing: do not torture them. Try to give the enemy a quick death."

"If the enemy is defeated and surrenders, except for the elderly, women and children, all adult men will be killed without mercy."

"The flower of peace, without being watered by blood, cannot deter those with ambitious ambitions and ulterior motives!"

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!" all the ninjas shouted in unison.

"Gentlemen, this is the final battle."

"Now is the time to make a name for yourself and bring glory to your ancestors. I hope you will not disappoint me..." Uchiha Gen said earnestly.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The response to Uchiha Gen was three battle cries that soared into the sky, shaking the surrounding area and the heavens, filled with murderous intent!

The few noble spies were so frightened that they trembled and decided on the spot to set things right and abandon the darkness for the light!
