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

If it's true, and the planet beneath their feet is helping the other side, then everything seems to make sense.

They didn't want to believe it, but they had no choice but to.

Those natural energies don't lie.

The energy of the Qi Refining Machine is so powerful that rashly using it can cause severe damage at best, and death on the spot at worst.

But those insects used natural energy with such ease, as if they were back in their own home.

"Hehe, so that's how it is." A blush appeared on Mei Terumi's pale face. She smiled, her laughter containing helplessness, relief, and despondency. A mixture of emotions combined to create the complex feelings she had at that moment.

She doesn't even know who to seek revenge against now.

Looking for the planet beneath our feet?

They live off others, and not only do they not pay rent, they want revenge? And how? By blowing up the planet?

Putting aside the consequences of blowing it up, the premise is that they could actually blow it up.

Looking for the Fifty-String Song?

They had only been looking up at it from a distance of over a hundred meters for less than five minutes when someone asked them a single question, and then they fainted.

How do I play this?

Can they fight?

When the difference in strength is too great, one can't even muster the thought of revenge.

They should even be thankful that the other party's goal was to make their will supersede their world, to become the ruler of a world that had never existed before.

If Uchiha Hikaru's words only made them somewhat skeptical, then Igogaku's actions were what truly made them believe.

Such a powerful being has no reason to lie to these ants.

Would Hashirama Senju lie to ants on the roadside?

Mei Terumi is willing to believe that the other four Kage lie, because she would also lie, and she wouldn't believe that such beings would deceive them.

can.

"He could have just said it directly."

"If I told you directly, would you give up resisting and just wait quietly?"

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru shrugged slightly.

They didn't pay much attention to it.

She came here simply to see what level the strong people in this world were at, and whether there were any who could catch her eye.

Unfortunately, perhaps her perspective has broadened, and only those at the Super Shadow level and the Six Paths level above her can elicit a reaction from her.

Even top-tier actors wouldn't find much of a fuss about such a simple, movie-level role.

If there were a bloodline elimination like Onoki, it would be more interesting for her.

Unfortunately, after going through all the rounds, only Onoki still controlled the bloodline elimination.

This disappointed her, but she also felt it made sense.

Bloodline Elimination is, after all, a higher level of power. Strictly speaking, it is not a realm that ordinary people can reach. The Tsuchikage was able to develop such a powerful Bloodline Elimination, and later generations were also able to learn it. In a sense, both of them were unparalleled geniuses.

In a different era, without overpowered characters like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, perhaps they could have easily overwhelmed the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra.

Unfortunately, "if" can only remain "if".

"Fallacy."

After she left, Uzuki Yugao spoke angrily.

As for why not while she was still around, firstly, it was to process the shocking news from before, and secondly, it would be risky to fight her.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Chapter 414 One mountain is always higher than another.

Uchiha Hikaru's words gradually spread to the surrounding area through the people inside that tent.

Most people did not believe, but considering the terrifying, inhuman power of the Fifty Strings, everyone chose to remain silent.

Even the five Kage, who could easily crush them, were kneaded and rolled like dough by the other side, without any room for resistance. All the elite ninjas and powerful samurai from various villages who had gathered together fell down at once.

What are they anyway?

The advantage of numbers is useful against powerful beings who are not yet beyond the human realm, but the opponent is clearly no longer human.

That state of being was clearly divine.

Even a god far surpassing the God of Shinobi—Hashirama Senju!

With this backing of strength, many people unknowingly came to believe these claims.

After all, the other side could have easily set them all on fire while they were stunned, but instead, they let them wake up and chat here.

This performance alone convinced many people.

However, this only confused them.

If even the world they live in has abandoned them, what else can they do?

Are we left with no choice but to swallow this bitter pill and continue living our lives?

This time, however, there will be an absolute leader above them, an unquestionable overlord.

It doesn't seem so unacceptable?

“I think this is acceptable; at least no more people will die.”

"I think... it's about the same. If that mysterious powerful figure were to unite everyone in the ninja world, wouldn't there be no more wars?"

The statement "no war" is like pouring kerosene on burning coals.

The atmosphere gradually became more lively.

More and more people joined the discussion, and through repeated discussions, they eventually swept away 70% of the original gloom.

Or rather, this is the norm.

People living in the ninja world have become accustomed to finding a glimmer of light amidst the misery of life.

At the very least, working under such a powerful figure wouldn't be any worse than before, right?

In the past, wars broke out frequently, and everyone was likely to go to the battlefield. There was also the worry of enemy ninjas appearing from time to time, who could be beheaded or drugged in their sleep, or fall asleep and never wake up again.

"These guys." Lei Yingai clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, listening to the discussions around him.

Seeing this, Luo Sha said calmly, "It's not a bad thing to let them talk. After all, you saw what happened before. So many of us, so many powerful people gathered here, and we still couldn't do anything about that person."

"But, is this really how it has to be?!"

"Otherwise what? Do you think you can beat him?" Luo Sha glanced at Ai, whose face was full of resentment.

"..."

boom!

The fist slammed heavily into the ground, creating a gash.

Luo Sha sighed.

Unlike the hot-tempered Ai, he could accept any bad situation as long as the village could continue.

But... this situation is too bad.

The only positive thing was that he discovered the people behind the swarm of insects were actually human, and he breathed a sigh of relief after finding that out.

He had a deep understanding of the power of insect swarms.

Logically, someone skilled in large-scale group attacks should have the advantage against these insects.

However, while his abilities did play a significant role at the beginning, these insects subsequently evolved techniques specifically designed to counter him.

Other techniques, such as Fire Release, Water Release, Earth Release, Lightning Release, and Wind Release, all those that can be named, were used on these insects and soon evolved into corresponding insect forms.

In this situation, he became increasingly flustered and less confident as the game progressed.

Furthermore, Sunagakure had fewer ninjas available than other villages, and after several battles, he had lost the confidence he initially had in resolving the disaster.

Therefore, he is also the most proactive of the Five Kage in ending this undeserved disaster... or perhaps more.

Thinking back to what happened in Kirigakure Village at the beginning of the natural disaster, and how a series of changes eventually led to Mei Terumi taking over, the village's internal problems were solved, but the talent pool was truly depleted, with only a few capable fighters left.

The reason they joined in the strong resistance was because the insects seemed so unreliable.

Looking at it now, it turns out there was someone behind these insects.

As long as they are human, it's easy to handle. No matter what their purpose is, as long as their ultimate goal is to rule the world, then there's not much of a problem!

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.

So what if we are actually ruled?

It's just that the situation has returned to what it was before.

Before they became film stars, they either lived under the rule of daimyo or under the protection of film stars.

Now that there's a powerful figure overseeing things, at most we can't start wars at will anymore, which is a good thing, as people won't die inexplicably anymore.

As for what to do with the extra population...

In the short term, they felt that there was no major problem.

At first, I don't know what those nobles were thinking, actually hoping that the warriors and muskets they kept would end this disaster. In the end, they were all crushed into dust by the insects.

Based on the timeline, they should have all turned into nutrients for the earth, supporting the growth of new vegetation.

It was only after the nobleman's death that Rasa discovered that the so-called domestic shortage of supplies was only for a specific group of people.

The supplies given to ordinary people and ninjas have decreased, but those given to nobles have increased instead of decreased.

Upon discovering all this, the Fourth Kazekage was enraged.

So while we were fighting tooth and nail, enduring immense hardship, you bunch of fat, gluttonous bastards were all pocketing your own money.

Even so, they are unwilling to provide us with any resources to cultivate talent.

Who do you think we train talent for?!

In any case, it's impossible for him to continue working for the nobility; it's impossible for him in this lifetime.

He would rather gamble on how the supreme being from another world would treat their world.

No matter what, they won't be worse off than those nobles.

In order to make this idea a reality, he even had people infiltrate the crowd to spread similar rumors.

Raikage A, who seemed to be sulking to the side, sneered inwardly.

'Heh, you think you're the fastest, huh? I'll show you what true wisdom is!'

He had someone do this a long time ago.

Do you understand the true value of Kumogakure's ability to live such a comfortable life despite its years of domineering rule and plundering of the ninja world?

Do you think the experience I've passed down through the Raikage is fake?

Don't think I'm some brainless black guy just because I'm dressed all in black!

The wind of fifty strings, passing without form, incorporates these situations one by one and feeds them back to the brain.

"Hmm? This guy's got some talent."

Fifty strings were slightly surprised.

His biggest impression of Luo Sha was that he was a typical brainless idiot.

Yes, that's true now, it doesn't matter if he does it.

As for Raikage.

It simply conforms to stereotypes.

The phrase "great wisdom appears as foolishness" is perfectly suited to describe the Raikage throughout history.
