The clean, crisp voice contained a strong sense of disdain and contempt.

Just like a queen who is high above!

Feeling a cold gaze fall upon him, Morino Kanakawa's frustration began to surge.

Why did he meddle in something that originally had nothing to do with him and try to comfort that idiot? Now he's found himself in an awkward position where he's the one bearing the brunt of the trouble.

"Not anyone,"

"He is nothing."

"Please calm your anger, Lord Yu Liu!"

The clear gaze directed at him made Morino Kanakawa dare not refuse to answer, and he remained in a humble posture, presenting the fortress key with both hands and bowing his head deeply.

Fortunately, although the Zero-Tail Seed planted in her body has revived, Yu Liu has not shown any signs of completely turning into a bloodthirsty monster.

"I've said it before, I have no interest in this position."

"Now, you can go."

So when she received this ambiguous and useless answer, she began to swat away these annoying flies.

Such a pardon-like response not only eased the tension in Morino Kanakawa's heart, but also brought some relief to the other surviving Sora ninjas.

However, he did not leave as instructed, even though he held the key to the fortress.

Because the former is truly our only hope!

This is not only because, without the immense energy of Zero-Tail as a boost, the Sky Kingdom's current resources and strength are simply insufficient to lift this rocky fortress into the air.

It is also because the Kongnin are leaderless that they will fall into a similar internal power struggle and chaos as before.

Moreover, even if someone were to gain everyone's approval peacefully without bloodshed and thus become the new leader.

But in the future, will our side really launch a revenge attack against the Uchiha clan?

That person's power completely surpasses their technology!

Therefore, compared to potential leaders who are easily driven by revenge or the desire for dominance, the girl in front of them, who chooses to recognize reality and understand her own status and strength, is undoubtedly the best choice for the Sky Ninja lineage.

As for the only way to change the girl's mind and win her back, there's probably only one:

"Please, Lord Yu Liu, forgive our previous rudeness for the sake of Lord Shennong, and save the Kongren lineage from this dire situation."

Morino Kanakawa, bracing himself, petitioned, even resorting to using the name of the deceased to leverage his position.

Such an action naturally caused immediate dissatisfaction among the young woman.

A violent surge began to erupt within her deep green eyes, which reflected the phantom of the Zero-Tail. Powerful chakra energy poured down from her body with the force of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Such power is not something that Sky Ninjas, who are inclined towards technological development, can easily resist.

After all, after becoming the only Master of Zero-Tails, Yuru had already transformed from an ordinary girl into a powerful ninja with unlimited potential.

Although Zero-Tails' current power may not be comparable to that of a traditional tailed beast, its fusion with Zero-Tails is already close to the threshold of a perfect Jinchūriki.

The girl's emanating aura of discontent sent a chill down the spines of the Sky Ninjas, including Morino Kanakawa.

But this also means that,

With such a powerful and rational leader who is not blinded by revenge, our survival space and the maintenance of our power will be improved and stabilized to a certain extent.

Faced with the girl's dissatisfaction, the entire Kongnin lineage dared not utter a single complaint, and even echoed Morino Kanakawa's request in unison.

Faced with this situation, Yu Liu momentarily lost her previous decisive attitude.

After all, she herself was in control of her body, not that monster called Zero Tail!

Although she disliked these guys using Shennong's name to blackmail and suppress her, she also couldn't directly deny the existence of the fact.

The other party is the teacher's subordinates, companions, or even clansmen.

"Lord Yu Liu, you are the only hope for the Kongren lineage."

"From this point onward,"

"Your will is our will."

"We dare not disobey your orders."

"so,"

"We implore you to take command of us again!"

Morino Kanakawa was still making an effort. Even though he was under the pressure from the former and his body was trembling uncontrollably, he still held the brass key tightly in his hand.

Having lost Shennong, they truly had no other choice!

If one allows one's own will to grow unchecked, then the only outcome will be silent annihilation.

"Well,"

“I can take over you.”

Hearing the humble and devout pleas from the Sky Ninjas, Yu Liu finally gave in.

At this moment, her eyes were dull, her voice was cold, and she exuded a powerful aura that was not diminished. She did not look like a girl who was only a teenager.

If we really have to compare the differences between its previous state and its current state, there is only one:

It lacked a certain sharp and chilling aura.

Even though this cold killing intent has diminished, it doesn't mean that she has completely reverted to being an innocent little girl.

After all, what he obtained from that ninja was not only the complete version of the [Forbidden Regeneration Technique] researched and created by Master Shennong, but also some key memories of Master Shennong from his lifetime.

These key memories include the history of the Sky Country, the philosophy of governing the ninja clan, and some of the means by which they maintain their prestige.

These were likely items that the ninja had specifically reviewed and entrusted to him after hearing Shennong's last words.

Although she couldn't explain why the other party would do something so thankless, there was no doubt that this information greatly enriched her knowledge and experience.

This transformed her from a sheltered little girl into someone with the means to inherit the family business.

"But from this day forward, your lives will be completely entrusted to me."

"Moreover, you have already seen the consequences of any betrayal or disobedience."

Yu Liu said coldly, which basically means directly stripping these air ninjas of any extra will and thoughts, including their crazy ambitions of revenge and conquering the whole world.

As for the consequences of disobeying, it undoubtedly refers to Hayama Kura, who not only lost her life but also had her chakra energy drained.

Such a powerful declaration immediately made the air ninjas present feel a sudden tightness in their hearts.

An inexplicable sense of oppression and the illusion of Shennong reappearing resonated with these people's senses.

Previously, they had only made such a stopgap compromise because they suddenly lost their leader and the other party was the Zero-Tail host.

But now it's clear that once I've chosen to pledge allegiance, there's no turning back!

Regardless of what decision the former makes, you must unconditionally choose to comply.

Even if the other party is just a young girl with no qualifications.

"I am willing to follow."

After a brief silence, it was Morino Kanakawa who finally gave the first answer.

Because his face was lowered, no one could see the expression on his face at that moment, but the solemn voice alone was enough to tell what kind of inner struggle he had gone through.

Once a positive response is given, the rest will fall into place naturally.

The Sky Ninjas standing around began to swear allegiance one after another, because they all knew very well what kind of predicament their forces would fall into without the former's presence.

At the same time, voices could be heard from the rocky village not far away, as the residents who had been enchanted by the wilderness gradually awoke from their sleep.

"Step back,"

"Don't appear in the sight of other ordinary residents."

Yu Liu took the fortress key that Morino Kanekawa had been holding with both hands, and then gave the order.

This also symbolizes his first order as the leader of the Sky Ninja.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding ninjas responded in unison, then cleanly and decisively withdrew, including the corpse-like Yuyama Kura, who was also collected and taken away.

Once they decided to pledge allegiance, their attitude completely changed.

In just a few breaths, only a few air ninjas remained by the girl's side, all of whom were relatively high-ranking elites in this remnant force.

This includes Morino Kanakawa.

"Master Yu Liu,"

"Should we contact the Uchiha clan next and establish a cooperative relationship with that lineage?"

After hesitating for a moment, he softly volunteered.

If revenge is not sought, then forming an alliance is the best option for our side.

Moreover, the Hidden Demon Village, established under the leadership of the Uchiha clan, is in an awkward situation that has disrupted the balance of the five great ninja villages. Its rise has also been proven by the powerful forces of that village to require more cooperation and external assistance.

Alliances between two entities are undoubtedly the best win-win outcome.

"Do not."

"The will left behind by our teacher is not for us to form an alliance with him."

"That guy, in the end, shattered the teacher's ambitions and dreams."

However, Yu Liu directly rejected the proposal; otherwise, she would have agreed when Ying suggested becoming friends.

"What about us?"

Upon hearing this answer, Kong Ren and his companions exchanged bewildered glances. No revenge, no alliance, and they were to remember this humiliation. What exactly was their new leader planning?

However, there was no need for Morino Kanakawa to ask; the new leader in front of him had already murmured the answer:

"Accumulate strength,"

“He appeared when he needed help the most.”

"Let him and the forces behind him forever remember our kindness."

"The teacher said that peace will not last long."
