He was in Konoha, and his domineering aura was overflowing.

Only those who are standing are qualified to speak to me!

Chapter 412 Stubborn and incorrigible, despite repeated admonitions

Peng.

Peng.

Peng.

Looking around, the world is full of people lying on the ground in various positions, their eyes rolled back.

The giant beast lowered its head obediently, and Wu Shixian walked down as if on a spring outing.

Looking at Lei Yingai, who was kneeling on one knee with his facial muscles tense, he shook his head slightly: "I thought he was some big shot, but he's just a nobody."

He's just a low-level ninja who can't even withstand a single burst of Conqueror's Haki; he's not worth mentioning.

Well, he selectively forgot that his current level of Conqueror's Haki could even affect Six Paths level figures.

Moreover, his Conqueror's Haki is somewhat different from ordinary Conqueror's Haki.

Normally, as long as you can withstand the first round of Conqueror's Haki, the effects will gradually lessen. The human body has the ability to adapt. Theoretically, as long as you can withstand the impact of Conqueror's Haki every day, the feeling of the same level of Conqueror's Haki will decrease over time.

However, the Conqueror's Haki released by someone who can freely control its intensity is different; seeing that someone is still standing, they add a little more force.

The fifty-string version is similar to this, but also different.

The essence of Conqueror's Haki is an attack on the mind, so with its yin and yang attributes, it's easy to directly change Conqueror's Haki into a continuous mental attack.

The soul is real. Conqueror's Haki targets the mind, which, proportionally, is an attack on the soul, only the effect is more like an attack on one aspect of the soul.

So, Fifty Strings simply used the soul as a foundation and created Conqueror's Color, doing nothing else but attacking the human soul.

It may seem no different from the Conqueror's Haki next door, but the Conqueror's Haki in the ocean next door only targets the mind and does not harm the soul. His method focuses on the soul and takes an unconventional approach.

This is a difference in the world, a difference in power systems.

She glanced sideways at Tsunade, the girl from this world, who had a red mark on her forehead.

Yes, he typed this.

The soul shock came too slowly; we really need to take action.

"Is that all?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki and the others flew down, looking at the half-asleep, half-undone figure before them.

"It's not quite what I expected."

She thought this would be a battle about ideals, bonds, and friendship, a scene of people throwing punches at the sky, determined not to back down.

I never expected it to be so...simple and easy?

It's not exactly simple.

At least she couldn't knock someone unconscious with such a simple method.

Killing is an option.

She had used the method of releasing chakra to form an aura powerful enough to kill a person in the ancient ninja world, and easily destroyed the strongest resistance force of a country at that time.

"No need for that. I'm not here to ask for their opinions."

Fifty strings, casually recounted.

Are these people's opinions important?

Perhaps, according to common sense, even if an emperor wanted to rule a large empire, he would need the help of local powerful figures to make arrangements. In essence, imperial power is a large jigsaw puzzle pieced together by batches of local powers.

But that's how ordinary people do it; Wuju never uses such an inefficient method.

His very existence here is to allow the emblem of the will of hegemony to be placed over this world, to suppress it with his own power, and to transform it into the world he desires.

As for the original people, they're fine if they behave themselves, but if they try to cause any trouble...

He slightly raised his head and glanced at the steadfast guards behind him.

These were colossal figures, each over a hundred meters tall, capable of striking fear into the hearts of even a great ninja village with a mere stomp of their feet.

To be honest, he was a little surprised when he saw the guy's size and stature written backwards.

These vague worldly consciousnesses are truly striving to give birth to a truly intelligent soul consciousness.

The insects he sent over were all fat and strong.

Although, according to his design, the insect colony could have developed into this magnificent state given some time to grow, the planet itself would inevitably help accelerate its development.

This made him very satisfied.

He looked at the people lying on the ground with disgust.

"Even a child is smarter than you guys. I really don't know how you managed to get by."

One...what child?

Kaguya Otsutsuki blinked; it was the first time she had ever heard of a child being described as "one."

At this point, the fiftieth string connects its consciousness to the planet beneath its feet.

The moment it sensed that hazy awareness, this hazy awareness, like a child's planetary consciousness, suddenly danced with joy.

If it has hands and feet in the conventional sense.

"Okay, okay, you're such a good boy, you'll definitely get some special treatment."

When faced with these planetary consciousnesses, Isogen always feels that he is going further and further down the path of becoming a parent ahead of time.

He's still just a child.

It's just that this kid likes to play with toys that can scare everyone to death.

Thinking about it this way, the planetary consciousness that simply packages up and sells the life forms living on it doesn't seem to be such a big problem.

Kaguya Otsutsuki and the others stood curiously to the side, not interrupting, but simply observing the interaction between Isogen and the planet's consciousness.

Their eyes all possessed extremely special pupil techniques, and with the help of Fifty Strings, their planetary consciousness was able to slightly reveal itself in his presence.

Although this figure can only be seen by those with special eye techniques, it is undoubtedly a huge improvement compared to the past when one could only use actions to let the life forms living on the planet know one's thoughts.

“This is planetary consciousness,” Kaguya Otsutsuki said thoughtfully.

Her original position within the Otsutsuki clan was not high, and she had only a superficial understanding of the vast knowledge about planets. Moreover, she doubted whether there were any records of planetary consciousness within the Otsutsuki clan at all.

After all, this level of existence is far too ethereal and elusive.

Given the Otsutsuki clan's usual practices, if they were asked to comprehend planetary consciousness and cultivate a good relationship with it, most Otsutsuki would probably scoff at the idea.

Even knowing that helping the planet's consciousness will grant you power from the planet is the same.

In the Otsutsuki clan's dog-eat-dog worldview, there are countless life-bearing planets in the universe, most of which have not yet given birth to natives with truly powerful fighting capabilities.

Instead of spending time trying to build a good relationship with the planet, it's better to directly extract its energy, which saves more time and yields greater short-term benefits.

As for the long-term benefits to the planet.

Ha, by the time your long-term benefits take effect, the other clansmen will have already skyrocketed to the point of almost becoming gods.

Perhaps helping to accumulate planetary consciousness can lead to snowballing development in the later stages, resulting in greater advantages and sustained benefits, since it is a continuous source of power from the planet.

However, the journey was taking too long, and the Otsutsuki would rather waste that time traveling than do good deeds.

The main character is a stubborn, incorrigible savage who only cares about strength.

Chapter 413 Gu

"Gu, just kill me."

"..."

Looking at Uchiha Hikaru who had said those words, he felt that something was off about them, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Why would I kill you?

“You vile demons, I will never cooperate with whatever you want to do.”

Uzuki Yugao is like a little cat cornered, activating Spinosaurus mode.

But because she was so weak, she was seen as cute.

In Uchiha Hikaru's eyes, she just looked cute.

Even in her prime, it would be absolutely impossible to strike her, let alone in her current state.

After experiencing the impact of the Fifty Strings' Conqueror's Haki, the people of this world were left with some aftereffects to varying degrees.

The symptoms are not serious and will recover over time.

After all, the Fifty Strings weren't there to take their lives right away.

He is reasonable, and these people are his hidden backup resources. He is quite patient with these things.

Anyway, I'll have to work for him even after I die.

On the hospital bed beside her, Terumi Mei, pale-faced, struggled to get up, looked at Uchiha Hikaru, and said in a deep voice.

"Who exactly are you people?"

She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but before, those were insects she couldn't communicate with. Now that she had met the person behind the scenes with whom she could communicate, she was determined to find out the truth, even if it meant her death.

Uchiha Hikaru tilted his head and thought for a moment: "I just came to see if there's anyone I can help with."

"What kind of help?"

“Yu Ge wants his will to extend to countless worlds, surpassing all the heavens and myriad realms, so let’s see if there’s anything we can do to help.”

Uchiha Hikaru was very frank.

These people don't need her to lie.

Mei Terumi's eyes narrowed: "You're from another world?"

Uchiha Hikaru nodded slightly.

This sounds like a fantasy.

But that's the truth.

As the victors, they had no reason to lie to the defeated.

Especially given their overwhelming advantage in gaining control of the world.

Moreover, ninjas are among the fastest to adapt to special circumstances, and Mei Terumi, being one of the Five Kage, has an even greater capacity for endurance and acceptance.

"...Is it just our world?"

"No, it seems there are three more. I don't know exactly how many. So far, we have only discovered people from your three worlds."

Three?

Mei Terumi's gaze was taken aback, and she immediately thought of the Konoha toad that had disappeared before the battle.

"No wonder he suddenly disappeared; he went to your world."

Does Konoha still have this technique?

“It’s not Konoha of this world.” Uchiha Hikaru shook his head slightly and explained, “It’s your world.”

Mei Terumi paused, then, as if realizing something, she made such a large movement that her eye, which was hidden by her bangs, was revealed: "You mean our world... your coming here is also related to our world?!"

“I don’t know much about this, but from what Yu Ge said, he can help the planet beneath your feet to develop true consciousness, so the planet is contributing its efforts. The natural energy swirling around those enormous beasts you see is proof of that.”

Upon hearing this, not only Terumi Mei, Uzuki Yugao, and everyone else resting in the tent fell silent.

So, the reason we lost wasn't just because we were weak, but also because the world itself was dragging us down.

It wasn't that they completely believed Uchiha Hikaru's words, but rather that they connected it with the various anomalies that had occurred in the ninja world after this inexplicable natural disaster.

Such incidents are numerous, including the discovery of well-hidden bases and the sudden shift in status from an advantageous position to a completely different one.

They initially thought it was because they didn't understand the insects' special abilities, but now, combined with the explanation from the Uchiha who claimed to be from another world...
