Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"This……"

Baiyun Qingye saw through Sasuke's thoughts at a glance.

This is an attempt to use the negative emotions within the Box of Elysium to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

This is a very bold idea, but I have to say, it might actually work.

However, this was still somewhat risky, so I gave a heads-up.

"Sasuke, I know what you're thinking, but this is too dangerous. If you're not careful, you might get controlled by your negative emotions!"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Sasuke's eyes swirled with the three tomoe, displaying his greatest confidence and self-assurance.

The bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan will not be defeated by the negative emotions of a mere monster.

Chapter 652 The Affairs of the Grass Country

No one else knew what Sasuke was saying; from his words, they only knew that he wanted to use the Elysium Box.

They don't really care about these kinds of things.

Now that the Box of Bliss belongs to Konoha, it's up to Hokage Shirokumo Aoba to decide who gets to use it. The ninjas on the front lines just need to follow orders.

Seeing Sasuke's confident demeanor, Shirokumo Aoba fell into deep thought.

His main concern was that Sasuke might lose his mind or undergo a drastic change in personality due to being controlled by a large amount of negative emotions, but the awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan is inseparable from negative emotions.

Itachi Uchiha probably used a similar method.

This has truly become a vicious cycle.

However, it seems more convenient to use the Box of Elysium than to have Itachi help Sasuke awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After all, the monster in the Box of Bliss is purely negative emotion, and it's not that difficult to deal with.

Even if Sasuke Uchiha's rationality is eroded by negative emotions, what he's probably thinking about is either defeating him or taking revenge on Itachi Uchiha.

It's unlikely that after learning the truth about Itachi Uchiha's defection and awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would remain confused for a long time, and might even go to extremes and defect again.

Then he won't be able to face Mikoto.

After much thought and comparison, Shirokumo Aoba decided to follow Sasuke's wishes and nodded.

"I will let you know after the matter in the Land of Grass is settled and everything is ready."

"it is good!"

Sasuke could no longer hide his excitement; his lips twitched as if he wanted to burst into laughter, but he was forcefully suppressing it.

No, no, you can't laugh yet!

The Mangekyou Sharingan, the true ultimate power of the Uchiha clan!

He's about to have it.

He will make the Uchiha clan great again!

Shirokumo Aoba ignored Sasuke, who was frantically suppressing his laughter, wanting to burst into tears but holding it back.

He could already imagine what it would be like when Sasuke truly awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He turned to look at Longshe, who had been silent since he had reprimanded Wuwei, and narrowed his eyes.

As for you...

Longshe felt a sudden urge to be targeted by some dangerous creature, his body trembled slightly, and he regretted jumping out earlier.

"Is...is there something you need?"

"cough!"

Noticing Shirakumo Aoba's fixed gaze, Tsunade coughed lightly, somewhat annoyed.

Sensing Tsunade's unfriendly gaze, Shirokumo Aoba quickly said to her, "Teacher, she possesses a very special bloodline limit within her body. Perhaps we can study it."

"A special bloodline limit?" Tsunade asked with a suspicious expression.

"It is a bloodline called Dragon Life Reincarnation, which can transfer one's own life force to others and even achieve the effect of resurrection."

Baiyun Qingye explained.

"Resurrection? That's amazing!"

The resurrection effect piqued Tsunade's interest.

Although she didn't say it aloud, she already had the idea of ​​reviving Kushina.

Tsunade also looked at the somewhat thin Ryuusei with a surprised expression, clearly not expecting that this ordinary girl could have such a bloodline limit.

Dragon Tongue nodded somewhat timidly, but considering her own life, she quickly added another sentence.

"However, I can only use this bloodline limit once; I will die after the procedure."

"I see."

When Tsunade heard that it was about exchanging her own life for someone else's, she was somewhat disappointed. However, even so, this bloodline limit was not to be underestimated and was still worth studying.

"Then we'll draw some blood and chakra for the study. I'll need your cooperation."

"Okay... okay."

Upon hearing that it was just a matter of drawing blood and chakra, Ryusei breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if she were to demonstrate it directly, this bloodline would truly be fatal to her.

Tsunade also took out a syringe from the sealing scroll containing various simple medical tools and drew about 400cc of blood from Ryushita.

As for chakra, that's left to Kaho Uzumaki, who is skilled in sealing techniques.

With all that done, the matter of Hozuki Castle came to an end.

After leaving behind two wooden clones, Baiyun Qingye led her people to Daming Prefecture.

To their surprise, when they arrived, Daming Prefecture was already in a state of welcoming the royal army with its gates wide open.

The daimyo of the Land of Grass, who was controlled by Yakumo and Kurenai Yuhi using illusion magic, and a group of ministers of the Land of Grass stood respectfully in the main hall of the daimyo's mansion.

The daimyo of the Land of Grass was blankly reading the surrender proclamation that Shikamaru had just painstakingly written, and then had his men spread it throughout the entire Land of Grass.

While this result was somewhat unexpected for Baiyun Qingye, it was also within reason.

In countries with ninja villages, military power is naturally concentrated in those villages. The daimyo's bodyguards are at most a group of guardian ninjas, plus samurai who have been brainwashed and trained since childhood.

It's normal that they can't stop a team with what is arguably the strongest mechanism, Yakumo.

Just as Shirokumo Aoba had told Muwei, the news that the Grass Country had surrendered before nightfall and that from now on all affairs within the Grass Country's territory would be managed by Konoha spread throughout the entire Grass Country.

The news reached neighboring countries, as well as those that had been monitoring the situation since the Snow Country declared war.

-

Raikage Building.

A document titled "The Surrender of the Land of Grass" is on the desk.

This document was sent from the Land of Grass using a special secret method in the shortest possible time.

After reading through the contents, not only the Fourth Raikage, but even the usually calm and collected Hiyori showed a somewhat shocked expression.

No one would be surprised if Konoha conquered Kusagakure in half a day.

This is why the Five Great Ninja Villages hold a superior position. Apart from Amegakure, which produced a so-called demigod of the ninja world, no small ninja village could withstand a single day of the Five Great Ninja Villages' full-scale attack.

What truly shocked them was that Konoha had not only conquered the Grass Village, but had directly conquered the Land of Grass.

Although the document states that the mission was to launch a special military operation against the Grass Country at the behest of the Snow Country, and to rule the Grass Country thereafter.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Konoha, one of the five great ninja villages, launched a military operation against another country without any notification or permission from its own daimyo, and occupied that country.

Such behavior completely violates the one-country-one-village system originally established by the First Hokage.

This is an act that violates the laws of our ancestors.

This also violates the agreements between the five great daimyo and between the five great daimyo and other daimyo.

If the ninjas of Konoha dare to attack the Land of Grass today, will they dare to attack the other five great nations tomorrow?

The powerful figures of various countries certainly won't stand idly by.

"Lord Raikage, now that Konoha has conquered the Land of Grass, we must first maintain domestic stability and deal with the various daimyo. Should we continue preparing for war?"

He asked the Fourth Raikage.

"..."

After a brief silence, the Fourth Raikage nodded. "Continue preparing. If the Daimyo of the Land of Fire cannot provide a reasonable explanation, this war will likely not be a matter of passive defense, but rather a matter of us taking the initiative."

Not only Kumogakure, but Iwagakure, which suddenly bordered Konoha, also made similar preparations.

The day after Konoha's blitzkrieg against the Land of Grass, an envoy from the Daimyo's residence in the Land of Fire arrived in Konoha with some kind of malice.

Chapter 653 Radical Envoy

Inside the Hokage's office.

Shirokumo Aoba was quickly flipping through the various documents submitted from the Land of Grass.

From a country's finances and military to its population.

It basically covered all aspects of national affairs. Even though these documents had been screened and assigned by several Hokage secretaries, Shirokumo Aoba still felt a headache looking at the documents laid out in front of him.

The main problem is that the ministers of the Land of Grass are simply too incompetent. All they needed to do was gather information from all aspects of their country and send it to the Hokage Building.

As a result, that bunch of good-for-nothings did nothing but enjoy themselves and did nothing of importance, and knew absolutely nothing about national affairs.

No wonder they've turned such a good country into this mess.

Looking at the huge pile of documents in front of him, Baiyun Qingye was tempted to sneak away.

However, just as this thought arose in his mind, a resentful voice immediately rang out from the side.

"Aoba, you're not planning to make an excuse to slip away and leave all this to me, are you?"
