Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 507 Surrender Ceremony
After rounding the mountain pass, Iwagakure Village came into view.

Unlike the towering stone mountains of Kumogakure, the mountains surrounding Iwagakure are all thick earthen mountains.

Nestled in the valleys of the mountains are rows of round buildings.

The people here prefer to live in round buildings made of adobe or stone.

There are no Iwagakure (Iwagakure Hidden Village) ninja forces outside Iwagakure.

Even in the dark, Ye Guang wasn't afraid of any ambushes by the Iwa ninja.

More than 13000 ninjas died on the front lines, severely weakening Iwagakure. Even if all the remaining Iwagakure ninjas were gathered together, it would only add a minor stroke to the name of the fox-slaying slayer.

The moonlight suddenly stopped.

This startled Dong Siren, who, after a moment of panic, stared at the fox.

Ye Guang asked, "The Four-Tails returned to the volcanic field in the northern part of the Land of Earth. What about the Five-Tails? Where did Han, the Five-Tails' jinchūriki, go?"

Dong Siren said, "Han believes that in order to dispel your concerns, he will not return to Iwagakure. Iwagakure should not maintain any capacity for resistance until a surrender agreement is signed."

Orochimaru said, "Han is overthinking it. Even if he were in Iwagakure, he wouldn't be considered capable of resisting."

Dong Siren swallowed hard, feeling as if a knife had been slashed across his throat.

He continued leading the Konoha group into Iwagakure.

More than 30 Konoha ninja followed behind Lord Fox and Lord Orochimaru, suppressing their pride and trying their best not to provoke the people of Iwagakure.

On both sides of the street stood many Iwa ninja and civilians.

Their eyes were strange, suppressing hatred, yet none of them dared to meet the eyes of the Konoha ninjas, daring not to let the Konoha ninjas see their hatred.

If it were anyone else being stared at by tens of thousands of hateful eyes, they would definitely be terrified and panicked. However, the leaders were a fox and Orochimaru.

In the eyes of these two, this hatred was nothing but a speck of dust, having no impact whatsoever.

Dong Siren noticed that many people had poor eyesight, but he wasn't worried. He figured people like the fox and Orochimaru probably wouldn't care about such things.

Everyone in Iwagakure knows that surrendering to Konoha is a unanimous decision made by the entire village, and they can only wait for Konoha's verdict.

Onoki treated Iwagakure very well, nurturing it into one of the top ninja villages in the ninja world. The people of Iwagakure once believed that they truly were one of the top ninja villages in the ninja world.

However, the Third Shinobi World War completely shattered the pride of Iwagakure.

As he passed the Iwagakure Ninja Academy, Yagami looked to the side and spotted two students with distinctive features.

Deidara with a mouth on his palm, and Kurotsuchi who is shedding tears right now.

In the original work, these two have a lot of storyline; at this point, they are both just students at the Ninja Academy.

In their eyes, Ye Guang must be an utterly wicked person.

Deidara's father, Bakura, was killed by Yako; Kurotsuchi's father, Hikari, and grandfather, Onoki, were also killed by Yako.

Hopefully, when the two of them grow up, they won't do anything bad because of hatred, otherwise Ye Guang will wipe out their entire family, which wouldn't sound good to outsiders.

Higashi led the Konoha group to the Tsuchikage Building first.

On the high platform in front of the building, under the watchful eyes of the entire Iwagakure village, the surrender ceremony began.

The Eastern Dead Man loudly announced that Iwagakure had unconditionally surrendered to Konoha.

The people of Iwagakure watched in agony as the Fourth Tsuchikage, Higashi no Shijin, bowed his head and handed Orochimaru a scroll of surrender.

Of course, some people wear a mask of sorrow for conformity on their faces, but are secretly pleased inside.

It's over. The war is finally over.

This is terrifying; we shouldn't continue fighting Konoha.

Some people were lucky enough to have witnessed Konoha's fox's Super Tree World Advent from afar. If such a technique were to appear in Iwagakure, Iwagakure would disappear from the ninja world.

Some ninjas boast that their techniques can destroy a city, but the fox's is different; he can truly destroy a city, even a large one like Iwagakure. After completing the surrender ceremony, Higashishijin led the Konoha high-ranking officials to a courtyard on the west side of the village.

This is the shrine courtyard that Iwagakure prepared for the foxes.

Ye Guang clapped his hands, and three tree trunks grew out of the hall. The tree trunks slowly transformed into three faceless statues.

The Eastern Death God's eyes were glazed over; those were the statues of the three gods.

The statue on the left has a dagger in its mouth, the statue in the middle has three heads and six arms, and the statue on the right looks like it is wearing a cloak.

The dead man in the east then saw the fox summon three nobles who were bound together with ropes.

In front of the high-ranking officials of Iwagakure, Yagami sacrificed three nobles, sealing their souls in the shrine as coordinates for the Flying Shrine Technique.

From then on, followers of the Tristan religion will be able to use the souls in the shrines to help others teleport between shrines.

After the ritual ended, the deer took out a map of the Land of Earth.

Nightlight said to the Dead Man of the East, "I plan to establish a garrison in every town."

The security forces of Kyoto and the four major cities in the Land of Earth are overseen by Konoha ninja.

The security of other cities and towns in the Land of Earth is the responsibility of Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).

The security forces are stationed in various locations to maintain basic order. They are rotated every three years to prevent ninjas from colluding with local forces and forming powerful interest groups that are difficult to control.

Fourth Tsuchikage, your Iwagakure village must also formulate regulations to protect the shrine and shrine.

With the teleportation shrine, your control over ordinary towns will also increase significantly.

Dong Siren nodded. Since they had surrendered unconditionally, that was the only way.

The five major cities, including Kyoto, were given to Konoha, while the rest of the land went to Iwagakure. It wasn't exactly a case of annihilation. Konoha won the war, and everything was rightfully theirs.

If we cut the cake this way, Iwagakure might become even wealthier than before.

At least with the violence gone from the villages and towns, there will be a stable source of food and meat in the future.

Looking at the shrine, Dong Siren felt a sense of fear.

With the addition of a shrine in Iwagakure, foxes can appear in the village at any time and destroy it at any moment.

What a terrifying enemy! How can there be such a powerful ninja?
Higashi glanced at the fox discreetly, thinking to himself, if Hashirama Senju is the God of Shinobi, then the fox is the God of Death.

Hashirama Senju was a benevolent idealist, while the fox was a cold-blooded killing machine.

Seeing that Higashi no one objected, both Yagami and Orochimaru were very satisfied.

The security system that Night Light wanted to establish was completely different from the security force currently controlled by the Uchiha clan in Konoha.

Konoha ninjas, along with the wandering ninjas hired by Konoha, would be stationed in all towns to maintain order and prevent violence.

Violence belongs to the ninjas, while production and governance are handled by local coalition governments. This is the most suitable production relationship for the ninjas that Yagami could find.

"Fourth Tsuchikage, if you have any questions in the future, you can send someone to ask us," said Nightlight.

"Inside Konoha Village, Nara Shikanobu, the advisor, has just been promoted from Jonin class leader to Hokage advisor. He is in charge of establishing the entire ninja world security system."

The war here is over. I will go to the Land of Waves and quickly eliminate the daimyo families of the Land of Waves and the Land of Water, and also get Kirigakure to sign a surrender agreement.

The people of Konoha left Iwagakure using the shrine.

Higashi turned and walked towards the Tsuchikage Building, where he saw a person in the underground archives room.

Obito Uchiha and Zetsu from the Akatsuki organization are looking at a file containing information about a spy.

This spy's name is Qiaoyi.
