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

"The Sixth Hokage!"

Kazuma stared intently at Shirokumo Aoba; among the group, he was the only one in relatively good condition.

Although he had never faced a ninja with such powerful chakra, he had faced other things with such powerful chakra.

Although he tried his best to appear tough, his body still trembled uncontrollably due to his instinctive fear of the terrifying existence.

"Do you think you can become a daimyo just by relying on brute force? You will only bring disaster to Konoha!"

Kazuma struggled to control his trembling body, but his tone remained firm.

"Looks like you still have some trump cards up your sleeve."

Bai Yun Qingye's gaze swept over the people present, finally landing on the only one dressed as a monk.

That malevolent chakra was as conspicuous as a star in the night to a ninja with Kagura's Mind's Eye, without anyone needing to remind him.

This person is the pseudo-Nine-Tails Jinchuriki that Kazuma has been hiding in the shadows for so many years, using a wisp of chakra left over from the Nine-Tails during the Nine-Tails' night.

However, even if only a wisp of Nine-Tails chakra was used, the power it unleashed after going out of control far exceeded that of most ninjas.

It might even be stronger than some normal human Jinchuriki when they go berserk.

"Ha! It seems you've already figured it out."

Kazuma noticed Shirakumo Aoba's gaze and, despite the pressure, quickly moved to Sora's side, who had a blank expression.

"Although your strength is somewhat beyond my expectations, I have to admit that your so-called title of 'Second God of Ninjas' is indeed not just hype."

"But facing this power that even the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, would find dangerous, I'm afraid we're no match for it, are we?"

Sora's previously bewildered state of mind seemed to clear a bit when he saw Kazuma suddenly point at him and say that he was his trump card.

He subconsciously looked at his bandaged hand.

He came here because Kazuma found him with the Great Name Token. He didn't know why the other party would look for a novice monk like him.

Now I finally understand.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yunqingye couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth, her face showing a hesitant expression.

The power that even the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, felt threatened by?

A wisp of the Nine-Tails' chakra remaining?

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is it that Ma was too stupid, or that Hashirama Senju was too polite to the daimyo, causing some misunderstanding?

It was precisely this expression that made Kazuma think he was truly afraid, and he regained some of his confidence.

"It seems you already know our trump card. Now that you have no respect for the Daimyo, you are no longer qualified to continue serving as Hokage."

"Our purpose in coming here is to take over the rule of Konoha and restore it to the rule of the Daimyo."

"Sixth Hokage, if you know what's good for you, you'll voluntarily resign from the position of Hokage and then announce that from now on the Daimyo will take over Konoha. Otherwise, you don't want Konoha to be attacked by the Nine-Tails again, do you?"

"..."

Baiyun Qingye is truly speechless now.

These were words he usually used to threaten others, and now he was being threatened by someone else...

"Ignorance is bliss."

He shook his head slightly. "If this is all you're relying on, then this farce should end!"

"Since that's the case, Sixth Hokage, then don't blame me!"

Kazuma saw that Shirakumo Aoba was about to make a move, his expression hardened, and he suddenly punched Sora directly in the abdomen.

"puff--"

The sudden attack caused Kong to cough up a mouthful of blood, and his expression changed drastically.

The blank expression turned to fear, followed by a ferocious look.

He Ma struck the spot where it was sealed.

The next moment, a layer of blood-red tailed beast cloak enveloped him.

Because the seal was affected, the Nine-Tails' chakra within him suddenly went berserk.

"Hahahaha! Sixth Hokage, you only have yourself to blame for all of this!"

Seemingly to fit the mood, Kazuma laughs like an anime villain about to make a desperate gamble.

His distorted expression is actually quite suitable for playing cards, and he's using all his strength to shout out standard villain lines.

"Ku, my child, use this power to make Konoha feel pain once again!"

"..."

The white clouds and green leaves are silent, only silently clasping their hands together.

"Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique!"

Immediately afterwards, the floor beneath He Ma and the others began to move, and several thick, powerful vines broke through the soil.

Jiang Hema, along with Kong and several other guardian ninjas, were firmly bound to their positions, unable to move at all.

The chakra in Sora's body, which was originally in a state of frenzy, seemed to have encountered its natural enemy, and instantly weakened and shrank back into Sora's body.

They behaved themselves and dared not make any further moves.

Chapter 657 Don't pick at my food if you're not going to eat it

"This...how is this possible?!"

Kazuma watched helplessly as the previously raging chakra in Sora's body calmed down, as if all the abnormalities just now were a dream, and only the thick vines on their bodies were real.

This was completely unacceptable to him; that was the Nine-Tails' chakra!

That was the most powerful of the nine tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails that even the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, felt threatened by, and had to seal it inside his wife.

They were completely powerless against this young Hokage.

"Now, do you have any other trump cards?"

Shirokumo Aoba looked at Kazuma, who was staring blankly, with a playful expression.

Kazuma couldn't help but swallow hard. When he looked at Shirokumo Aoba, he no longer had the confidence he had before, and said in a somewhat blustering but weak voice.

"Sixth Hokage, perhaps your strength is indeed formidable, but if you think you can become a Daimyo just by relying on power, then I can only tell you that's wishful thinking!"

"Whether it's wishful thinking or not, we'll see in the future. As for your fate, do you want to know?"

Bai Yunqingye sat back down and said with a smile.

He was actually quite grateful to these envoys from the daimyo.

After all, he had been freed from so much political work, so he was happy to chat with the other party.

It just means we can only suffer a little bit and have to mute it.

"Hmph! We'll all die anyway. To die for our lord, we have no regrets!"

All that's left for Kazuma is the courage to face death.

Right now, only Kazuma can still speak. Fudo lost his ability to move just now, and Sora lost consciousness due to the chakra surge. Fuka and Fugen were directly strangled unconscious by the vines.

Otherwise, someone might swear if they heard that.

Baiyun Qingye nodded approvingly, "He does have some backbone, but although he died for his daimyo, it might be a little different from what you think."

"What do you mean?"

Kazuma glared at him. "What do you want to do to us?"

Upon hearing this, Baiyun Qingye revealed a meaningful smile, "In that case, let's hear the script I've prepared for you..."

"First, you will return to the Land of Fire unharmed, and then meet with the Daimyo to truthfully recount what you saw and heard in Konoha..."

"Huh? You're going to let us go?"

Kazuma stared wide-eyed in disbelief, looking at the other person incredulously.

He thought he had misheard.

Bai Yunqing couldn't help but frown. The vines binding He Ma tightened even more, even gagging his mouth so he couldn't interrupt his story.

"Of course, it's just that your bodies are physically intact. I will have ninjas skilled in genjutsu control your consciousness so that when you meet the daimyo, you can directly take control of him. Immediately afterwards, news will spread that Kazuma, one of the former twelve guardian ninjas of the Land of Fire, is colluding with foreign forces to manipulate the daimyo of the Land of Fire in order to overthrow the Land of Fire."

"Then, I will personally lead the ninjas of Konoha to the capital of the Land of Fire to rescue the daimyo and purge the court of his corrupt advisors."

"Finally, the Fire Country Daimyo felt deeply guilty for his incompetence as Daimyo, having almost caused the downfall of the Fire Country. Therefore, he issued a decree of self-reproach to the entire ninja world and then abdicated the position of Daimyo to me."

What do you think of this script?

It is true that Shirokumo Aoba possesses enough power to seize the entire ninja world.

However, the best approach is to stabilize the situation in the ninja world quickly after achieving success and gain the approval of the majority of people.

After all, it's a system that has been in place for over a thousand years.

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh!"

It seems that this kind of thing is still too advanced for the simple and honest ninja world.

Seeing that Shirokumo Aoba had planned out their future, the future of the Daimyo, and even the future of the Land of Fire with just a few words, they realized that Shirokumo Aoba had planned out their future with just a few words.

Even just listening to Ma was enough to make him faint with anxiety at the thought of that future...

He wanted to struggle and break free from his restraints, even if not to escape the scene, just to be given a chance to commit suicide.

Even if he can't commit suicide, he could at least get him to say a few hurtful things to the other person and get them to kill him.

That bastard Sixth Hokage actually wanted to use his body to do such a heinous thing.

If Baiyun Qingye's plan really succeeds, he dares not imagine what kind of infamy he will bear.

Even he himself cannot forgive himself.

Thinking of this, tears welled up in Kazuma's eyes, and these tears were not only for his own fate.

It was also for the sake of the daimyo and the land of the fire!
