What's wrong with having a large harem if you're the emperor of the ninja world?

The advisor elder, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado suddenly appeared from some corner.

They seemed to have cleverly avoided the center of the battle.

The two men still wore complex emotions about the fate of their old friend Danzo.

But more than anything, it was a feeling of surprise and fear.

With a trembling finger, Tsuneka Koharu pointed at Di Yan and questioned him in a sharp voice:

"Your Majesty! What...what exactly is going on?"

Why are members of the Uchiha clan here?

"And... he's still alive?"

Mitokado Homura echoed this with a livid face:

"That's right! The Uchiha clan was wiped out on the night of their massacre several years ago..."

"Who are these people? How come they are following Your Majesty?"

They desperately need an answer.

An answer that would put their minds at ease.

However, with Danzo's death...

Those dirty deals and agreements between him and Di Yan are now impossible to prove, as he is dead.

When questioned, Di Yan simply chuckled.

His smile was full of both mockery and deeper meaning.

He deliberately drew out his words: "Guess?"

This flippant reply made the two advisors turn pale with anger.

Yet they dared not actually retaliate against the emperor of a nation.

Tsunade took a deep breath.

He suppressed the surge of qi and blood within his body caused by the Hundred Healings Technique and the battle.

She walked forward with heavy steps, looking at Uchiha Mikoto with a complicated expression.

This was the wife of the Uchiha clan leader, who was once known for her virtuous character in Konoha.

Tsunade is someone I know.

"Mikoto... is that you?"

"You...you're still alive? What is going on...?"

Tsunade's voice carried confusion and a hint of barely perceptible apology.

However, Mikoto Uchiha only glanced at her indifferently.

That gaze was cold and distant.

It even carried a hint of deeply hidden hatred.

She did not answer any of Tsunade's questions.

She simply turned away silently.

Like the most loyal guards, they stood back behind Di Yan.

Uchiha Tekka and Izumi also silently returned to their original positions.

They demonstrated their stance through their actions.

They are loyal to only Di Yan.

Tsunade watched this scene with her teeth clenched.

His fist clenched again.

really!

The source of everything, the manipulator of everything.

They were all the seemingly gentle but actually unfathomable emperor of the Land of Fire.

He was the one who took in the survivors of the Uchiha clan.

He orchestrated everything that happened today!

at this time.

Nara Shikaku, Kakashi, and others also gathered around Tsunade.

Shikaku lowered his voice and analyzed quickly and calmly:

"Lord Hokage, the most urgent task is to stabilize the situation in the village immediately, eliminate Danzo's remaining forces, and appease the people and the sentiments of all races."

"Danzo is dead, and the greatest internal threat has been eliminated."

His implication was quite clear.

Although the appearance of the Uchiha and Di Yan's intentions are extremely suspicious.

But after experiencing internal strife.

Konoha needs rest and stability.

It is not advisable to immediately engage in direct conflict with the emperor, whose strength is unfathomable, and the Uchiha forces under his command.

These problems can be addressed gradually later.

Many Konoha ninja shared the same idea.

They felt that Danzo had already solved the biggest problem.

The remaining emperor and Uchiha clan are potential threats.

However, this can be addressed through diplomacy and subsequent negotiations.

however……

Looking at Di Yan's ambiguous smile, as if he had everything under control.

And behind him were several silent Uchiha who exuded a dangerous aura.

Tsunade felt a strong sense of unease.

She had a vague feeling.

Danzo's death may not be the end of the story.

And it is precisely...

The beginning of another, even bigger storm.

Did Di Yan go to great lengths to force Konoha into such a predicament?

Was it all just to avenge the Uchiha clan and kill Danzo?

It can't be that simple.

Tsunade suppressed her anger and fear towards Di Yan, trying to keep her voice steady and attempting to end this turmoil as quickly as possible:

"Your Majesty, the matter of Danzo's coup has now been resolved."

"The internal affairs of Konoha will be handled properly."

"If Your Majesty has no other important matters, please return to the capital to rest as soon as possible."

Her meaning was obvious.

Go find somewhere cool to stay; Konoha doesn't welcome you...

As she spoke, Tsunade paused, her gaze sweeping over Asuma, Shikamaru, and the others who were still imprisoned or controlled:

"Furthermore, Your Majesty, please release Asuma, Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba..."

"Konoha can pretend that today's events never happened and will not pursue the matter further."

She tried to give both sides a way out by saying she would "not pursue the matter further".

Get rid of Di Yan, this plague god, as soon as possible.

However, the advisor elder, Mitokado Homura, clearly did not want to give up.

He stepped forward, pointed at Uchiha Mikoto and the others behind Di Yan, and said sternly:

"Wait! Your Majesty may leave, but these remnants of the Uchiha clan must remain!"

"Especially that little girl, she actually has the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Such a dangerous being must not be allowed to remain outside!"

Koharu, the girl in the next room, immediately added, her gaze fixed intently on the Mangekyou Sharingan belonging to Shisui in Izumi's hand:

"And Danzo's Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"Those are spoils of war belonging to Konoha, and they must be returned to Konoha!"

They experienced Danzo's rebellion.

The Konoha leadership is filled with both vigilance and greed towards these powerful, uncontrolled forces.

Especially on their home turf, surrounded by Konoha ninjas.

They subconsciously believed they had the situation under control.

Emperor Yan had no choice but to submit.

This "confidence" brought about by sheer numbers permeated the hearts of many Konoha ninja.

They believed that even if the emperor had several Uchiha guards by his side...

But it was still no match for the power of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Faced with Konoha's almost commanding demands.

Di Yan was not angry at all.

Instead, it was as if they had heard an extremely funny joke.

He chuckled softly.

"Hehe...hahaha..."

His laughter rose in pitch, laced with undisguised mockery. "Leave my men behind? Hand over the Sharingan?"

"You guys...are you really that confident that you've got me figured out?"

His gaze swept over Tsunade and the two advisors.

And the Konoha ninjas who were eyeing them covetously.

His eyes were filled with amusement and a hint of...pity?

Nara Shikaku frowned.

He sensed that things weren't so simple.

But he still tried to persuade Di Yan with rational analysis:

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

“We do not intend to be your enemy. But this is Konoha after all, with thousands of elite ninjas.”

"Even though your guards are powerful, once a conflict breaks out, swords have no eyes and may injure Your Majesty's precious body."

He paused, his tone becoming more serious, carrying a subtle threat:

"Moreover, tens of thousands of ninja troops are stationed along the borders and in various fortresses of the Land of Fire."

"If His Majesty were to have an irreparable conflict with Konoha here, the news would surely shake the entire Land of Fire."

"It could even trigger a civil war. At that time, the country's strength will be damaged and its people will suffer."

"This is by no means a wise move. Your Majesty, please... think twice before you act."

These words were both soft and firm.
