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

He was going to use this last, most hidden trump card.

Unleash a thunderous strike!

Even if it means mutual destruction.

We must also eliminate this demon who has brought devastating disaster to Konoha!

hum!

The space around Di Yan's body visibly began to twist and rotate violently.

It was as if an invisible vortex was forming.

They want to tear his body apart and devour him into another dimension!

A surge of wild joy instantly welled up in Kakashi's heart:

"Did you make it?"

However, this joy lasted for less than a hundredth of a second!

Just as the spatial distortion was about to touch Di Yan's body.

"Ugh!!!"

Kakashi suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream!

An indescribable, excruciating pain, originating from deep within his eyeballs, instantly overwhelmed all his consciousness.

It was as if his eyes had been torn off from his nerves and blood vessels by an irresistible force!

The scene before his eyes was instantly covered in blood red and darkness!

He barely managed to recover from the sudden, extreme pain.

When looking ahead with the remaining eye.

He witnessed a scene that froze his soul.

Di Yan remained standing there unharmed.

A mocking sneer played on his lips.

And between his right index and middle fingers.

He was holding a scarlet eyeball that was still trembling slightly, and even retained a trace of warmth and bloodshot veins!

The pattern on the eyeball.

It was the Sharingan that he relied on to launch his final attack!

"How can it be……"

Kakashi's mind went blank.

I have absolutely no idea what happened.

His Sharingan's ability... it's already activated?

The eerie crimson light in Di Yan's left eye slowly faded away.

He used the Time Reversal ability of his left eye to locally and drastically slow down the flow of time at the target.

Kakashi felt it was just a fleeting moment.

In reality, Di Yan had ample time to react.

He admired the precious trophy at his fingertips.

Then, as if discarding trash, he casually tossed it to Uchiha Izumi, who was waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Di Yan looked down at Kakashi, who was curled up and trembling from the pain of losing his sight and his utter defeat.

His tone was filled with utter contempt and disdain:

"I gave you a chance, but unfortunately... you were useless."

After saying that, he didn't look at Kakashi again.

It was as if the other person was already dead.

He coldly took the sharp longsword from Uchiha Izumi's hand, who had just caught the eye.

Hands up.

The knife fell.

puff...

A cold, gleaming light flashed by.

Kakashi Nagato's head was filled with shock, pain, and resentment.

It left his body.

It immediately rolled to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Those eyes, once wise, sometimes lazy, sometimes sharp.

It has completely lost all its vitality.

Kakashi, the Copy Ninja, is an elite Jonin of Konoha.

Just fell away.

The entire square fell into deathly silence.

Only the sound of Di Yan sheathing his sword echoed softly.

Like the death knell tolled by the Grim Reaper.

……Spoon.

72. The stubbornness of Konoha; to live on in old age is to be a thief.

After Di Yan killed Kakashi.

That nonchalant demeanor and icy gaze.

Like the sharpest kunai, it pierced Tsunade's last mental defenses.

He looked at Tsunade, whose body was trembling violently with anger and powerlessness, and spoke in a calm tone that sounded like an ultimatum:

"Shall we continue, Fifth Hokage?"

Before Tsunade could gather her words from her immense grief and struggle...

Di Yan's voice rang out again.

This time, he raised his voice.

Make sure every Konoha ninja can hear it clearly.

The content of his words, however, plunged everyone into an icy abyss:

"Or is it that you prefer to see this kind of scene..."

"With a single command from me, those innocent and carefree children in the ninja academy, those unarmed civilians in the shelter, one by one, fell into pools of blood?"

"Use their deaths to fulfill your so-called 'honorable shattering'?"

He paused deliberately.

Let this terrifying image ferment in everyone's mind?

Then the tone shifted, carrying a devilish allure:

"Now, lay down your weapons and surrender."

"In the name of the Emperor of the Land of Fire, I guarantee that as long as we abandon futile resistance?"

"Your families, your children, will all be safe and sound."

These words are like cold water thrown into boiling oil.

This instantly stirred up a huge wave among the desperate Konoha ninja.

After the deathly silence came an uncontrollable commotion and whispers.

"Is what he said true?"

"My child is still at school..."

"My wife is in a shelter..."

"But... should we just surrender like this? How can we face our fallen comrades?"

Loyalty and family, ideals and reality, hatred and survival...

The immense conflict is tearing at everyone's heart.

It's obvious.

Some of the ninjas' eyes began to waver.

His hand holding the weapon trembled slightly.

Some people even subconsciously loosened their grip a little.

Tsunade watched this scene with a heart full of anguish.

She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't make a sound.

As the Hokage, she must not yield.

The village of Konoha, founded by my grandfather, cannot be destroyed!

But as a medical ninja.

As someone who has lost a loved one.

She could not bear the consequences of thousands of innocent women and children dying tragically because of her decision.

The immense responsibility and moral dilemma plunged her into unprecedented hesitation and stagnation.

However, not everyone was swayed by Di Yan's words.

For Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and the elders of the Sarutobi clan who have just experienced the pain of losing their son.

And then there are advisors like Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, who have dedicated their lives to Konoha.

Di Yan's words were undoubtedly an even greater insult and provocation!

The blood feud remains unavenged, and their homeland is destroyed.

How can we kneel before our enemies?

"Demon! Don't even think about bewitching people!" Koharu Utatane was the first to roar sharply. "Konoha will never surrender!"

"For Shikamaru! For Asuma! Let's fight them!"

Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza's eyes were bloodshot, and they had completely lost their usual composure.

"Sons of the Sarutobi clan! Follow me and kill!!"

The Sarutobi clan ninja brandished their swords and gave the order to charge in a desperate battle.

Mitomon Homura also formed hand seals, a resolute glint in his old eyes:

"For the will of the First Hokage! The flame of Konoha will never be extinguished!"

Grief and anger overwhelmed reason.

His obsession with Konoha transcended life and death!

They were led by the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, the Sarutobi clan, and two advisor elders.

A large number of loyal Konoha ninjas let out their final roar.

Like moths drawn to a flame?
