Jiraiya was a little nervous. He suddenly remembered that his brother was a fanatical enthusiast of immortality and a research fanatic!

Orochimaru chuckled coldly and shook his head.

"What they said isn't impossible."

"However, I will not place my hopes for immortality on someone else."

"Hehehe, I think it's more authentic if I do the research myself."

As Jiraiya watched Orochimaru's dark gaze flicker in the light, a chill ran down his spine.

"What's this guy thinking now?"

Orochimaru watched as Akito and Sasuke floated up, looking down at the crowd, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Xiao Nan roared, her eyes wide with rage, as if she wanted to devour the other person alive.

"The civilization you describe as so advanced, so many times more powerful than ours, still went down the path of war! Is this what you call highly developed?"

"What do you mean by abundant resources, enough to feed countless people? If you could feed countless people, would you really invade us? Is this what you call morality and justice?"

Xiao Nan angrily rebuked the Ming people, her eyes filled with mockery and disdain as she sneered.

Mingren looked at the blue-haired mature woman in front of him; the anger in her eyes almost overwhelmed him.

The Ming man shook his head helplessly; this group of people

"You inferior civilizations will never understand how foolish it is to gain temporary peace through plunder! Our great empire, on the other hand, propels the progress of the entire universe and human civilization through its own might!"

His voice was full of authority and confidence.

"You think we are invaders, but you don't understand our greatness at all. Everything we do is to bring you lasting peace and prosperity!"

His gaze was fixed firmly on the other person, as if trying to pierce their souls.

"This is not only the mission of our empire, but also the responsibility we, as a superior civilization, should fulfill!"

Chapter 186 Xiao's backup plan is activated!

"We will give you a month to make your choice!"

The Ming man's gaze swept over the crowd with neither servility nor arrogance.

"Will you continue to resist stubbornly, or will you accept the arrival of a new era? Of course, I suggest you choose the latter, because it is your only choice!"

His words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight to the heart, leaving no one able to escape.

At that moment, everyone felt immense pressure, especially the dignitaries and leaders, who felt as if the entire world was pressing down on their shoulders.

Mingren's gaze slowly shifted to Zuo Zhu beside him, and he casually asked, "By the way, how many troops does our empire have?"

This question seems simple, but it contains profound meaning.

Sasuke answered without hesitation: "The Special Jonin Force has around 80,000 personnel, with over 110,000 Jonin on active duty, over 700,000 Chunin, and as for Genin... there should be several million!"

His tone was calm, but his words revealed a subtle sense of pride and confidence.

It seems that this is how the empire should be!

Mingren nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with Zuo Zhu's cooperation.

He then asked, "And what about those who are stronger than us?"

These words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present. Looking at the smiling, composed Ming dynasty figure before them, their wariness towards him intensified.

After a moment of contemplation, Zuo Zhu spoke: "At least... more than ten!"

His voice was deep and serious, and his expression changed from a blank, indifferent look to one of respect.

The corners of Mingren's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

However, their conversation drew laughter from many people.

In their eyes, although the two people in front of them were very strong, they were no different from the Joker.

A million ninjas?

Dreaming!

It's an exaggeration to think that we can subdue the enemy without fighting.

Do you think we're all fools?

However, some villagers and ninjas, whose lives were far from satisfactory, began to fantasize about the world described by the Akito.

"Orochimaru, do you think what they're saying might be true?"

Tsunade frowned as she stared at Akito and Sasuke, noticing that one of them was looking at her.

"Really? I believe it's true."

Orochimaru had regained his composure; his words betrayed no emotion.

"but"

Under the gazes of Tsunade and Jiraiya, he changed the subject.

"But their foray into new fields can't be without any cost!"

"I believe what they're saying is true, but I also think they're just putting on an act."

Orochimaru's words were calm.

As two of the legendary Sannin, while their knowledge and experience might not rival Orochimaru's, they were still among the pinnacle of the ninja world.

They also believed that the other side wouldn't come without paying a price.

As for the million ninjas they mentioned?

So what if you have it?

It's the same whether you come or not, you're still useless!

You expect us to be intimidated by someone from another world?

"It's even highly likely that once they arrive, they won't have the chance to leave again."

"Alright everyone!"

"We are now stationed here in Konoha awaiting your reply! If you are willing to surrender now, or within the stipulated time, the Empire will warmly welcome you!"

"Of course, you can also choose to let the Imperial forces make the choice for you."

The Ming dynasty's declaration came to an end, and countless people left with heavy hearts.

No one dared to make a sound, and no one chose to surrender now.

In their view, this was something that could change the entire landscape of the ninja world.

Of course, some people are looking forward to it, while others are fearful.

They hated their current lives, but also feared that the arrival of the empire would exacerbate their suffering.

After Akito's gaze met hers, Tsunade dared not look up again.

Now is not the time.

Orochimaru, seeing the two approaching him, warily parted several small snakes beneath his feet and slithered away.

Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, he had the cursed seal to revive himself, plus Kabuto's prior arrangements and his own backup plan.

However, he still habitually releases his clone snakes now.

Zuo Zhu scoffed disdainfully at this.

"Alright, Sasuke, don't scare Tsunade's variant form."

Akito's words instantly dispelled Tsunade's wariness; her brows furrowed, and her expression turned somewhat angry.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Ah? Granny Tsunade, hello."

"Don't worry, you lecherous sage and Lord Orochimaru, we won't harm you."

"You are all people our emperor specifically requested by name."

As he spoke, Akito looked at Tsunade, his eyes pure and innocent.

"Of course, Granny Tsunade, you are the person our Empress Tsunade wants."

"Imperial Concubine?"

A look of confusion appeared in Tsunade's eyes.

I do have a lot of bad men who like me.

But she never expected that she would be able to attract the attention of that emperor in that world.

"I'm sorry, your empress is yours, and I have nothing to do with her."

"I'm not a commodity; I don't just do what she wants."

Tsunade's gaze was resolute, and the Hundred Healings Seal had already appeared all over her body.

Upon seeing this, Jiraiya's eyes transformed into frog-like pupils.

"Hey, hey, why are you all so angry! I'm not going to take any force against you."

As soon as Ming finished speaking, the chains behind his body instantly pierced into the bodies of the men, and to their astonishment, they felt their strength slip out of their control.

"Holy crap!!! No sportsmanship whatsoever!!"

Jiraiya cried out, realizing he could no longer use his Sage Mode.

Not only that, but they couldn't even mobilize their chakra.

"You despicable people?!"

Tsunade also cried out in alarm, and then she felt her strength rapidly draining away.

Her appearance was gradually aging, and the chakra stored in the Hundred Healings Technique was being sealed away, rendering it unusable.
