Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

The moon trembled more violently, and with a cracking sound, a ball of white energy burst out from the moon's center and flew towards Earth.

On Earth, Chiga had completely extracted the Ten-Tails from Madara's body, and white energy descended from the sky, merging with the Ten-Tails.

A milky-white halo emanated from the Ten-Tails, forming a huge white ball of light.

Then, the ball of light gradually shrank, transforming into a human shape.

After the light faded, Kaguya Otsutsuki appeared before everyone.

Black Zetsu stared blankly at Kaguya, completely bewildered by what had happened.

He thought his mother was about to disappear completely, but unexpectedly, she appeared alive and well in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Madara collapsed to the ground, his Rinnegan regressing to its black-eyed state, clearly indicating he was extremely weak.

Upon appearing, Kaguya immediately looked at Chihiro. Seeing Black Zetsu's bewildered expression, she knelt before him and respectfully greeted him.

"Owner!"

Chiga nodded, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Kaguya.

Kaguya remained kneeling, and Black Zetsu, seeing this, transformed into a pool of black fluid once more and rushed towards Kaguya.

Chiga didn't stop him, and just watched as Black Zetsu slipped into Kaguya's sleeve.

Black Zetsu called out urgently,

"Mom! What's wrong with you?"

Kaguya gently shook her head and whispered.

"I am fine."

"But you just called him master..."

"Don't say another word! From now on, Lord Chiga is my master, and you must remember that!"

Since Kaguya had already said so, even if Black Zetsu was still very confused, he didn't dare to say anything more and could only obediently shut his mouth.

Chiga was very satisfied with Kaguya's attitude. He waved his hand and said,

"Okay, you can get up now."

Kaguya obediently got up from the ground, seemingly having completely embraced the role of a servant.

Chiga's hair suddenly grew longer, curling up Madara who was lying on the ground, and carrying him towards the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Kaguya immediately followed, and when the three returned to the rear, Minato immediately came to greet them.

He first glanced at Kaguya with apprehension, then looked at Chiga and asked,

"Is this the end?"

Chiga shrugged and said,

"Or else?"

At this point, the three Kage, excluding Mei Terumi, had already dealt with their respective exes. Onoki asked hesitantly,

"So, can we go back now?"

Chika smiled and said,

"Of course you can go back, but before that, there's something else I need to say."

Chapter 357 Deterring the Four Shadows

Onoki suddenly had a bad feeling. He swallowed hard and asked,

"What is it?"

Minato had already guessed what Chiga was going to say. He silently walked to Chiga's side and locked his gaze on the four Kage in front of him.

Seeing the anxious look in Onoki's eyes, Chika spoke up.

"I've always felt there are far too many villages in the ninja world, so I hope that from now on, there will only be one village in the ninja world. Do you understand what I mean?"

Upon hearing this, the four shadows cried out in surprise almost simultaneously.

"Nani!?"

Madara, whose hair was wrapped around Chiga's, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Chiga with a look of surprise and doubt.

He never expected that Chiga's idea was exactly the same as his own back then: to suppress the entire ninja world with absolute power and merge all the villages together in order to achieve complete peace.

However, this idea was rejected by Hashirama at the time, and Madara became disheartened and fell into Black Zetsu's trap, only wanting to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Now that this idea, which had been buried deep in Madara's heart for so long, was brought up again by Chiga, he immediately felt an extremely complicated emotion, at the same time a hint of expectation.

He really wanted to see what the ninja world would be like if his original idea had come true.

The four shadows looked at each other, caught in a dilemma.

They certainly understood what Chiga meant: he wanted to incorporate all the other villages into Konoha, thereby unifying the entire ninja world.

This was something that no Kage could accept, but after witnessing Chiga's power, they knew that if they dared to oppose him, the consequences would not be good.

Judging from the abilities Chiga just displayed, any one of them could easily destroy a ninja village; they were simply powerless to resist.

Onoki clenched his fists tightly; his worst fears had come true.

In his view, Chiga was an upgraded version of Madara Uchiha, possessing power far exceeding Madara's and sharing the same ideals.

The most frustrating thing is that there is no one like Hashirama Senju who can keep Madara Uchiha in check in this era!

Mei Terumi stepped forward, gave Chiga a flirty wink, and said...

"Lord Hokage, can this matter be discussed some more...?"

Chiga responded with a smile.

"No."

"Forehead......"

Mei Terumi's expression froze, and she retreated dejectedly, inwardly sighing.

"What a heartless man! But he's so domineering! I love him!"

Gaara remained silent, but the outspoken A couldn't help but speak up.

"How is your approach any different from Xiao's?"

Chika narrowed her eyes and said calmly,

"So what if there's no difference?"

Ai was clearly taken aback by those words. He suppressed his anger and wanted to continue asking questions.

However, Chiga did not give Ai a chance to speak again. A purple light flashed in his Rinnegan, and then he reached out and pressed his hand on Ai's chest.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Ai's heart was "taken" out by Qianhe.

What stunned everyone even more was that Ai's heart was beating strongly in Qianhe's hands, and he himself was full of energy, as if the removal of his heart from his body had no effect on him at all.

Ai himself was also incredulous. He looked at his empty left chest and murmured,

"How is this possible? Have I fallen under his illusion spell?"

While he was still in a daze, Qianhe suddenly clenched the heart in his hand. Ai's face instantly turned purplish-blue. He let out a painful roar and knelt down on the ground.

The other three shadows instinctively covered their hearts upon seeing this, fearing they would be next.

Chika looked down coldly at Ai, who was kneeling on the ground, and said,

"You don't think I'm discussing this with you, do you?"

Ai struggled to lift his head, and his stubborn eyes still revealed his resentment.

Qianhe naturally wouldn't indulge him. He tightened his grip again, and Ai's pain surged like waves, each one more intense than the last, until finally, he was curled up like a shrimp in pain.

The ninjas of Kumogakure all looked grim. It was unpleasant to watch their own Kage being tortured, but the shock that Chiga had just given them was so intense that no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Finally, Darui couldn't stand it anymore. He rushed to Chiga, knelt down, and shouted,

"Our Hidden Cloud Village agrees with the Hokage's ideas and voluntarily submits to Konoha!"

Ai, huddled to the side, stared wide-eyed at Darui kneeling beside him. He wanted to shout at him, but he couldn't make a sound except for his own groans.

He turned his head with all his might, wanting to see how the people in his village would react.

The ninjas from Kumogakure didn't dare to meet A's gaze; they all lowered their heads, like ostriches burying their heads in the soil.

Seeing this, Ai felt utterly hopeless.

Their Hidden Cloud Village has always been known for its fierce and valiant people, and Ai never imagined that one day the Hidden Cloud Village would surrender before even engaging in battle.

All of this was because of one person: Uchiha Chika!

Ai suddenly burst into laughter, even though the laughter intensified his pain. His laughter grew louder and louder, and as he laughed, two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.

After laughing, Ai closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate. He had completely given up resisting, and from now on, nothing that happened in the village would concern him.

Darui sighed heavily. He knew all too well that his actions were despicable, but if he didn't do this, how could Kumogakure face the godlike Uchiha Chika?

Just because of one Eight-Tails?

Therefore, for the sake of Kumogakure, he had no choice but to make such a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.

Seeing this, Onoki helplessly loosened his fists. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice,

"Iwagakure Village... submits!"

Following Kumogakure and Iwagakure, the other two ninja villages quickly submitted as well.

However, compared to the constipated expressions of the other three Kage, Mei Terumi seemed much more relaxed.

The Fourth Mizukage left her with a mess, so there was no need for her to stubbornly cling to it.

Moreover, she still has her marriage to settle down, which she can take care of later.

You have to understand that she's almost forty years old. If she doesn't hurry up, she'll really start to lose her beauty.

Thinking of this, Mei Terumi secretly glanced at Chiga, and two blushes inexplicably appeared on her face.

Chiga was very satisfied with the Four Kage's "pragmatism." He casually tossed Ai's heart to Darui and said,
