I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

After the Fourth Raikage's defeat, Onoki dared not express any further dissent.

He glanced at the nearby Uzushio Village ninjas and the three Kage of Fire, Wind, and Water, and sighed softly in his heart.

If the five great ninja villages were to unite, they might be able to resist the power of Uzushio Village, but Uzushio Village has already demonstrated strength that surpasses the entire ninja world, and it has far too many strong individuals under its command who can take on ninja villages one-on-one.

Nagato needs no introduction; he was the former leader of Amegakure and, like Konan, was a Kage-level fighter.

Shisui's combat power is slightly beyond theirs, and the Hyuga girl in front of them also has the strength to defeat the Raikage. In addition, the Kazekage and Mizukage are vassal ninja villages of Konoha and Uzushio Village, respectively.

In the ninja world, only Iwagakure and Kumogakure truly possess independent capabilities.

However, there are still many conflicts between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, making it impossible for them to unite. At present, Iwagakure, which he leads, only has two options: submission or forced submission.

The former might not even be able to preserve the name of Iwagakure, while the latter would suffer even greater casualties.

At this moment, the thought of surrendering had already popped into Onoki's mind, but things might not have developed to that point yet.

Thinking of this, Onoki stepped forward and said, "Raikage, can you not be so hot-tempered? Hyuga-sama over there, could you please go and tell Naruto-sama if the Five Kage have arrived to provide support?"

Hinata nodded slightly, then walked towards Naruto's direction.

The Fourth Raikage covered his arm and said dismissively, "Using a respectful title to a young girl, Third Tsuchikage, you're getting more and more out of touch with reality. You've lost your former sharpness."

"It's better than having your arm pierced. As your father's old friend, I'm giving you some advice: the era of the ninja world is about to change. However, unlike the situation with Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, Naruto will be much more difficult to deal with this time."

"It's none of your business!"

The Fourth Raikage said rather unhappily that he hated the Tsuchikage speaking in the tone of an old friend of his father, whose father, the Third Raikage, had died in the encirclement of the Iwagakure army.

Chapter 320 Ninja Alliance

After waiting for half an hour, Onoki, the Fourth Raikage, and others finally met Naruto.

Naruto sat on a recliner made of wood release, flanked by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. The two were seriously examining the current Five Kage, occasionally revealing suspicious glances.

"Monkey, is this the Fifth Hokage? Why is his hair color somewhat similar to Tobirama's? Could he be Tobirama's?"

Hashirama Senju was only halfway through his sentence when Tobirama couldn't help but interrupt him: "Brother, as you know, I have no wife or children. My only hobbies are researching forbidden techniques and guarding against the Uchiha. This is all due to cause and effect..."

Hashirama Senju looked embarrassed, then asked, "I see. But I remember you were the Monkey King's disciple, Fifth Hokage. The Monkey King did so many wrong things, but he did a good job in making you the Fifth Hokage..."

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage and Jiraiya looked somewhat embarrassed.

Jiraiya rose to power through a coup, not through a normal election. Without using this method, it would have been impossible to overthrow the deeply entrenched Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura in Konoha.

However, the image of the First Hokage has changed considerably in people's minds.

The awkward conversation between the Hokage eased the tense atmosphere, but Madara Uchiha's empty stare at them was still somewhat intimidating.

After all, not long ago, Madara Uchiha showed them what the power of a ninja world demon truly was.

It can be said that, apart from some exceptionally powerful monsters, the five Kage combined wouldn't be enough to defeat Madara Uchiha. The fact that Madara Uchiha is sitting here so obediently at this moment is clearly not because he has had a change of heart.

The only possibility is that Naruto defeated Madara Uchiha.

If Madara Uchiha is equivalent to five or more Kage-level fighters, then Naruto is equivalent to at least ten. This terrifying fighting power forces them to become even more docile.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Naruto said to the Five Kage:

"Are you all here today to discuss a new order for the ninja world? After experiencing the Ninja World War launched by Madara Uchiha, I have learned my lesson and feel that the ninja world should not continue to be in chaos for so long."

"As the supreme commander of the alliance who defeated Uchiha Madara, I believe the alliance should continue and establish a ninja alliance above the five great ninja villages to prevent direct conflict between the countries of the ninja world."

Upon hearing this, Onoki and the Fourth Raikage exchanged glances.

Naruto's decision not to disband the Five Great Ninja Villages was quite unexpected. However, establishing an oversight organization would be tantamount to placing Naruto above the Five Great Ninja Villages.

After hesitating for a moment, Onoki spoke up: "Naruto-sama, is it necessary to join the Ninja League?"

Naruto glanced at Onoki and shook his head slightly: "Of course, it is based on the principle of voluntariness. However, after joining the Ninja Regiment, you must hand over control of the Ninja Army. Each Ninja Village can only maintain a security force of no more than a thousand people."

"After all, the war is over. Ninjas should return to production and use their technology for people's livelihood and scientific research. We cannot allow a situation where a large country launches a war while a small country is left with countless people starving."

Onoki was stunned. Handing over the army and leaving only the guard force was tantamount to surrender.

With Naruto's strength and Madara Uchiha watching from not far away, it wouldn't be a big deal for Iwagakure to submit. He would be quite satisfied as long as Iwagakure's name could be preserved.

However, Onoki scoffed at the second half of Naruto's statement.

Ninjas who possess superhuman strength can indeed get along well with ordinary people. It's important to understand that a major reason for the "one country, one village" system is to separate ordinary people from ninjas and manage them in one place.

The Fourth Raikage, on the other hand, wore an expression that showed outward submission but inward resentment.

Naruto glanced at the Fourth Raikage and said, "Don't worry, the Ninja Alliance won't force you to join. However, besides Madara Uchiha, there are many powerful enemies in the ninja world. If you don't join the alliance, the alliance naturally has no obligation to protect you."

Isn't this a threat?

Onoki glanced at Madara Uchiha in the distance. If he didn't join, Madara Uchiha would definitely escape from prison by accident.

Seemingly sensing Onoki's thoughts, Naruto sighed softly.

He was telling the truth, but no one believed him. There were still many schemers lurking in the ninja world. These people were not much of a threat to the entire ninja world, but for individual ninja villages, they were a complete disaster.

"The first alliance conference will be held in Uzushio Village, scheduled for half a month from now. After you return to the village and deal with the White Zetsu, you can choose whether or not to join the Ninja Alliance."

After saying that, Naruto activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and left the place.

The five Kage exchanged glances, each with their own thoughts, regarding each other as enemies of the new era. While Naruto was undoubtedly the supreme leader of the alliance, they could contend for the other positions.

Aside from losing their military power, they remained the leaders of their respective ninja villages and held considerable status.

……

A few hours later, Naruto brought Hinata and Sasuke into the Kamui dimension.

Upon seeing the Ten-Tails tightly controlled by the Vajra Lock, the Ten-Tails was in poor condition due to having previously consumed the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, and its body was recovering at an extremely slow pace.

Looking at the heavily injured Ten-Tails, Kurama, who had remained silent throughout the war, said, "Naruto, I never expected that you would actually defeat Madara Uchiha and the Ten-Tails, and without even using the power of the nine tailed beasts."

Naruto looked at Kurama and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so easy..."

If you can only use Sage Fox Mode, it is obviously unlikely that you can defeat Madara. Even if you gather the power of the nine tailed beasts and obtain the power given by the Sage of Six Paths, it will be extremely difficult to defeat Six Paths Madara.

But now, not only do they have the Rinnegan and the Otsutsuki Treasure, they can also activate the Six Paths Mode.

It can be said that he is one of the stronger warriors in the Otsutsuki clan. At least he can defeat Otsutsuki Isshiki without activating his heavy ion mode.

However, Naruto is still somewhat apprehensive if the enemy is the Sage of Six Paths.

That's the Six Paths Sage who could elevate Naruto and Sasuke from the original timeline to the level of the Otsutsuki! He can grant power to others!

Hearing Naruto's words, Kurama sighed and pointed to the Ten-Tails in the distance, saying, "Naruto, it's time to release Shukaku and the others' true forms. Only then will we know who the boss of the Tailed Beasts really is!"

Naruto shook his head slightly and looked at the Ten-Tails in the distance, saying, "Kurama, now is not the time. I have another matter to attend to."

Chapter 321 Meeting with the Sage of Six Paths

Is now not the right time?

Kurama looked puzzled, then frowned as if he had thought of something and said, "Naruto, you don't mean you're planning to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki and have fallen for the Infinite Tsukuyomi's plan, do you?"

"I don't like dreaming, and I'm not interested in Infinite Tsukuyomi."

After a pause, Naruto continued, "But I need to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki now. Only then will I have the confidence to eliminate the last enemy."

The Nine-Tails fell silent, but it was powerless to stop Naruto now.

Since the time travel incident, Naruto's strength has surpassed its. Although Naruto would tell it before using the Nine-Tails' power, it was only to save face for it.

After a long while, Kurama slowly said, "Naruto, I believe that this time you will explain on your behalf and to your other old friends. I hope you will not let us down."

"Thanks..." Naruto thought to himself, then walked towards Sasuke's location.

Only the Rinnegan can control the Ten-Tails and become its jinchūriki. Although he has two pairs of Rinnegan, he wants to obtain his own Rinnegan, which requires the combination of Ashura's and Indra's chakra.

Since Sasuke possesses a portion of Ashura's chakra, he should also have Indra's chakra.

After walking up to Sasuke, Naruto put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and said, "Sasuke, I need to borrow some chakra from you. I'll pay you back soon."

It was rare for Naruto to ask him for help, so Sasuke nonchalantly replied, "Here, give me as much as you want!"

Naruto nodded slightly, and the next moment Sasuke felt Naruto appear in his mental space. After searching for a while, Sasuke found the location of Indra's chakra.

“Indra, come out, I know you have always had your own consciousness.”

Soon, to Sasuke's astonishment, Indra appeared in the mental space. He glanced at Sasuke first, then looked at Naruto's location, and said calmly:

"Over all these years, you are the only one who has discovered my Asura reincarnation. Did Asura send you here?"

"No, that guy has been avoiding me and refuses to see me. He probably thinks I'm the reincarnation of Indra. After all, my way of doing things is somewhat similar to yours."

“Interesting lad.” Indra chuckled, then said expressionlessly, “Alright, tell me why you’ve come to me. I can sense your chakra strength; it’s already on par with mine and Ashura’s.”

Naruto didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point: "Indra, I need your chakra to awaken the Rinnegan. Also, I want to know information about the Sage of Six Paths."

"Awaken the Rinnegan? I haven't even awakened it yet..." Indra smiled knowingly.

"Indra's chakra combined with Ashura's chakra is the necessary condition for awakening the Rinnegan. You must know how Madara Uchiha awakened his Rinnegan, right?"

Indra's expression changed, and he said, "Why should I give you chakra? As long as I don't waste chakra, I can live in the form of chakra for a very long time. I'm not someone who wastes my life carelessly."

Naruto said calmly, "Because you, like me, have doubts about the Sage of Six Paths."

Upon hearing this, Indra's expression turned serious, and he stepped forward, saying, "How did you know that I had doubts about my father?"

"It's very simple. If it were simply because of jealousy towards Ashura, you wouldn't have needed to reincarnate for thousands of years. If it were just Black Zetsu bewitching you once or twice, then after so many years, there will eventually be a generation of Indra who will begin to doubt Black Zetsu."

"Moreover, you should be able to figure out that since you and Ashura can reincarnate repeatedly using chakra, there's no reason why your father, the Sage of Six Paths, who was once the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, couldn't do the same."

"Perhaps he's eavesdropping on our conversation right now, in some way?"

Indra remained silent, then sighed softly and said, "You know more than I do, but I wonder if you'd be interested in hearing my story, a story from a very, very long time ago."

Indra's story is very long, from his birth to the invention of hand seals, all the way to his death.

Overall, it was largely the same as what he had seen in his previous life, but there were some differences in the details. For example, Indra discovered the remains of the Ten-Tails and information about Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Divine Tree.

"My grandmother harvested chakra by periodically sacrificing humans to the Ten-Tails, turning them into White Zetsu."

"But my father's methods seem to be more sophisticated. I haven't noticed it until now, but I'm sure that the total amount of chakra in the ninja world has been increasing, but the excess has disappeared somewhere."

Upon hearing this, Naruto said, "It's the Pure Land. When a ninja dies, he takes most of his chakra with him to the Pure Land. The master of the Pure Land is the Sage of Six Paths. The Sage of Six Paths hovers on the edge of life and death in this way."

“So that’s how it is…” Indra showed a relieved expression, then smiled and said, “You asked me for chakra, is it to stop Father from harvesting the chakra of the Pure Land?”
