In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

Red Eyes didn't notice that Old Purple was acting strangely.

In his view, it was normal to be mentally unstable after witnessing the death of his comrades and being captured by the enemy.

Most importantly, the power of Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) still exists.

To be honest, they were worried that Konoha would kill Roshi once and for all, since there's never a shortage of crazy people in the world.

His shallow thoughts, in the eyes of the old man whose understanding of Buddhism was subtly elevated, were as fragile as a pilot who had just taken off.

Tailed beasts.

Old Zi felt bitter.

From the perspective of the ninja village, this is understandable.

Tailed beasts are walking natural disasters, a manifestation of the power of great ninja villages, and an indispensable part of the village's foundation.

The power distribution of the tailed beasts in the ninja world was already established long ago.

Konoha possesses the strongest Nine-Tails, while the other ninja villages depend on their circumstances. Konoha is generally considered the strongest, and Sunagakure the weakest, each possessing only one.

Shigeaki Nanao is in Takigakure Village.

As a member of Iwagakure, he was well aware of the village's current predicament and the lack of talent capable of leading the village in the future.

This has been the case for a long time.

Naturally, the key is the tailed beast that can be stably passed down, rather than oneself who has mastered Lava Release.

In the past, he would have considered it ordinary, everything was for the sake of the village.

But not long ago, Igarashi's words highlighted the starkly different circumstances between Konoha's Jinchūriki and other Jinchūriki...

There is no harm without comparison.

"It's not a good thing to say it like this, but it's actually good for me." The Four-Tails said in the sealed space.

The situation of Kurama can be inferred by whether the Jinchūriki goes berserk.

Nine Lamas is not one to stay still; his silence for so long clearly indicates he is unable to move.

Ugh, this Nine-Tailed Fox is so lame.

……

The Nine-Tailed Fox's sealed space.

The nine-tailed fox, still completely covered up, suddenly raised its head, its large pupils filled with suspicion.

That feeling just now... was it the Four-Tails?

"Hmph, this Four-Tails is pathetic. It actually got captured along with its tailed beast."

After Rōshi was brought back, the sealing team reinforced the seal, and Mito Uzumaki inspected it. At that time, he mocked the Four-Tails quite a bit.

at the same time.

A group of ninja clan members and talented commoners gathered together, looking at the ninjas from other villages in the pavilion not far away with troubled expressions.

"Do you really want to do this?" Nara Shikaku looked hesitant.

"People will die, won't they?"

"The other party is a Jonin."

"This is simply an enemy we cannot defeat."

pat.

A hand rested on the shoulder of the last member of the Inuzuka clan to speak.

Isogen spoke with righteous indignation and deep sorrow: "As members of Konoha, are you just going to stand by and watch those people run rampant in our village?"

"But I don't think they did anything," Inuzuka Satoru muttered to himself.

Snapped.

Nara Shikaku sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation; the darkest hour was about to arrive.

"Hmm?" Isogen raised an eyebrow, exasperated. "Born and raised in an environment governed by the Will of Conqueror, are you going to abandon upholding the Will of Conqueror just because the enemy is too strong?!"

Whose so-called "will to dominate" refers to the will to bully?

Besides, the mainstream ideology of Konoha is clearly the Will of Fire!

Everyone was internally ranting and raving.

But none of this could stop Gyūgen from making them feel the determination of the will of the overlord!

He immediately twisted his wrist, exerted a little force with his five fingers, grabbed Inuzuka Satoru's shoulder, took a step forward, and threw him forcefully in the direction of the target!

"Go, Inuzuka Satoru! Tear it apart with all your might!"

A little girl from a mountain village gasped, her breath sinking in as she stepped halfway into the domain of the Overlord's Will. Her face turned serious.

"I think you're absolutely right. We absolutely cannot let outsiders pollute Konoha's air!"

Between charging forward themselves and "falling into space," they chose the more courageous former.

Rōshi had made some progress in Buddhist teachings, and even with his chakra sealed, he still possessed considerable sensory abilities thanks to his foundation. At this moment, he keenly sensed the strange signals flowing in the air.

It's not dangerous, but it's filled with things that are hard to understand.

Before he could find the source, a commotion came from not far away.

"Charge! So you don't get beaten to death!"

"You stinking out-of-towner dared to plot against me, you bastard! Shame on you!"

"The Art of Mind Transference!"

"Shadow Binding Technique!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The reforms of the Fifty Strings High School have begun to show results.

A group of students who hadn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy displayed teamwork that rivaled that of a ninja squad.

However, their opponents were elite ninjas who had experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War and were sent to escort Jinchuriki back to the village.

Use the Instantaneous Movement Technique to dodge the attack.

Akame asked in surprise and disbelief: "Uchiha, Ino-Shika-Cho, Inuzuka... all the second-generation ninja clans of Konoha, big and small, are gathered together for a meeting?"

"These are minor issues, but could their actions be at the behest of Konoha's higher-ups?"

"Impossible. Konoha has no reason to do this. Do they think they can provoke Iwagakure just to do that?"

"Why is that? And why didn't Konoha's Anbu make a move?"

Old Zi, with his sharp ears and keen eyesight, took in the conversation but did not respond.

He saw it, the figure that seemed to have turned into a dark cloud and loomed over the children.

The initial doubts turned into relief.

That's not surprising.

After a brief conversation, the Iwagakure ninjas reached a consensus.

In any case, let's subdue him first. We can't let the second ninja clan leader be killed on their territory; that would cause a huge problem.

At the same time, the Konoha Anbu, on whom they had placed high hopes, was also undergoing a test.

"Hey, Isogen-kun, we're practically acquaintances, don't be like this," the squad leader said helplessly.

Isogen shook his head, his eyes resolute: "They are undergoing the baptism of the will of the overlord, and they must not be interrupted!"

The will to bully!

The squad leader mentally complained.

Meeting the gazes of his teammates, he chose to lie down.

Give up, give up.

Others might not know, but how could he, an Anbu member who frequently stood guard at the Hokage Building, not know?

Yuuka, aged nine, has a record including overpowering Jiraiya with medicine, helping an Uchiha awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan, defeating the Ninja Academy and turning it into an insurmountable mountain, blocking every second-generation ninja clan member who wanted to escape their cage, and most recently, capturing the Four-Tails Jinchuriki alive.

Are Sakumo Hatake and the Uchiha clan also here?

Heh, do you really think that the mighty White Fang of Konoha would falsify mission briefings to elevate a junior?

Lord White Fang said that his main role in that battle was to oversee the battle and look for opportunities to strike from the sidelines.

It's dangerous for someone who's being promoted to be unable to support themselves; clearly, Wu Shixian is not only capable of supporting himself, but also has a strong, reliable support.

The worst part is that this child is neither a spoiled brat nor a mature, strong individual.

and so……

"Can we pretend we don't exist?"

Isogen's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you challenging my will to dominate?!"

We're doomed.

The squad leader of the secret service took a deep breath and said dejectedly, "Go easy, there are still people from the other village here, what about the reputation of the secret service?"

Isogen nodded in satisfaction.

"I'll let it slide since you're so sincere."

Hope rises.

"I'm not going to slap you in the face anymore."

"..." The Anbu's mask isn't just for show! Apologize to Mask-san right now!

Isogen's nerves twitched, and he instantly became serious: "My will to dominate tells me that you have been provoking me all along!"
