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

"Cho-za!!!"

Nara Shikaku let out a desperate cry and almost fainted.

But Di Yan's killing spree did not stop.

The jet-black Susanoo slowly drew the giant sword that was burning with black flames, which was hanging at its waist!

"Surrender or die."

Di Yan's icy voice rang out again.

Like the final judgment.

Then, the enormous black flaming sword, carrying an aura of annihilation.

Facing the collapsing remnants of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio below, facing the stunned Nara Shikaku, and facing the countless terrified Konoha ninja, he ruthlessly slashed down...

"Do not!!!"

"Run!"

"There's no escaping it! This is the power of God!"

"We surrender! We surrender! Stop killing us!"

collapsed.

The last psychological defense line for the Konoha ninja.

It collapsed completely under the blow of that sword.

Countless people dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and cried out in despair, begging for mercy.

Hatred, dignity—all vanity is meaningless before absolute divine punishment…

All of this was reduced to the most primal instinct for survival.

The black, flaming greatsword mercilessly slashed down onto the earth!

boom……

The earth tore apart, and buildings collapsed.

Terrifying shockwaves and black flames swept in all directions!

Nara Shikaku's figure was instantly swallowed up?

Countless Konoha ninjas who were still resisting or unable to dodge were reduced to ashes by this sword!

Di Yan floated in the crystal on the forehead of the pitch-black Susanoo.

Like a demon god descended to earth.

He coldly looked down at the battlefield below, which had turned into a sea of ​​fire and ruins.

And those Konoha ninjas who knelt down, begging for mercy, trembling with fear.

His voice, like rolling thunder, resounded throughout every corner of Konoha:

"surrender."

"Or...die."

Emperor Yan's jet-black Susanoo once again raised the giant sword burning with black flames.

An aura of destruction gathered, about to strike again.

They reduced more of the stubbornly resisting Konoha ninjas and buildings to dust.

At this critical moment.

boom! ! !

A deafening explosion rang out!

Tsunade, like a shooting star burning with life, pushed the Hundred Healings Technique to its limit.

With power and speed that exceed limits.

He slammed a powerful punch into the chest of the black Susanoo!

That incredibly sturdy Susanoo armor.

It was struck by this angry punch, which contained endless grief and despair, and it trembled violently.

Fine cracks appeared on the surface.

The sword-wielding motion froze for a moment!

"enough!!!!"

Tsunade's screams drowned out the clamor of the battlefield, filled with endless pain and helplessness.

She appeared before Susanoo.

Her long, golden hair was disheveled, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Flames burned in her emerald eyes, yet tears also streamed down them.

He stared intently at the Emperor Flame within the Susanoo crystal.

Emperor Yan controlled Susanoo to slowly lower the giant sword, and the crimson Mangekyou Sharingan calmly looked back at Tsunade.

It seems we're waiting for her to continue.

Tsunade looked down at the devastation of Konoha, littered with dead and wounded.

She looked at the Konoha ninjas who stared at her with fear on their faces.

The body trembled violently due to extreme emotions.

She took a deep breath, as if using all her strength.

Each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, incredibly heavy:

"All Konoha ninja...lay down your weapons...surrender."

This statement is both a pardon and a death knell.

Bangdang...

Bangdang...

Among the surviving Konoha ninja.

The people, who had long been terrified, breathed a sigh of relief.

He almost impatiently threw away the kunai and ninja sword in his hands.

It was as if they were throwing away a hot potato.

The sounds of crying, sighs of relief, and weapons hitting the ground rose and fell.

Resistance has become meaningless.

Tsunade turned her head with difficulty and glared at Di Yan.

They were trying to preserve the last shred of dignity and bargaining power for themselves and their village.

"Di Yan! Konoha has been utterly destroyed by you! Its strength has been greatly diminished!"

"Once the news spreads, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure will definitely not let this opportunity pass!"

"Even if you gain control of Konoha today, you'll face an attack from the three great ninja villages tomorrow! You..."

"Ah."

Di Yan chuckled, interrupting Tsunade, his tone filled with undisguised contempt, "These are none of the Fifth Hokage's concern."

"I have my own plans. What you need to think about now is how to fulfill your promise and be a good empress to me."

"you!"

Tsunade was filled with shame and indignation, her face turning red and white in turns.

To marry her off to this enemy who destroyed Konoha and killed countless comrades, and who was also so much younger than her...

This was worse than killing her.

She was overwhelmed by extreme humiliation and despair.

"Even if I die, I will never be insulted by you!"

A resolute glint flashed in Tsunade's eyes, and she abruptly raised her hand.

Without hesitation, he thrust the kunai in his hand toward his own throat.

She would rather be dead.

I would rather not endure such humiliation!

however……

"You can try." Di Yan's icy voice pierced her ears like a venomous snake. "If you die, I will... massacre the entire village of Konoha."

"From jonin to genin, from the elderly to children, none will be spared. I mean what I say."

The voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like the coldest icicle.

It instantly pierced through Tsunade's will to die.

This sent a chill down the spines of all the Konoha ninjas who heard it.

They had no doubts.

This emperor, who is like a demon god, is absolutely capable of doing it!

Tsunade's kunai, aimed at her own throat, stopped abruptly just before her skin.

It even pierced a little of the skin.

A trickle of blood seeped out.

But her hand could no longer move forward even an inch.

He was frozen in mid-air, as if under a spell.

His face was filled with extreme struggle, pain, and helplessness.

Suicide would be a way for her to escape personal humiliation.

But it would lead to the complete extinction of the entire Leaf Village.

She cannot afford this price.

Looking at Tsunade's eyes, which had completely lost their luster and were now mired in despair.

Di Yan knew he had won.

He slowly deactivated Susanoo, and his figure floated lightly down in front of Tsunade.

He reached out and gently pinched her trembling wrist, which was holding a kunai, with a slight force.

Clang.

The kunai fell to the ground.

Di Yan's fingers brushed across Tsunade's smooth yet icy cheek, his tone carrying a sense of all-encompassing pleasure:

"That's good."

"From this day forward, there will be no more Konohagakure."

"And you, Tsunade..."

"She is my empress, and the most beautiful symbol of my rule over this place."

The cold shackles have already fallen.

Konoha has entered its... twilight.
