Projection magicians starting from the Uchiha clan

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I have already approved your appointment as the Fifth Kazekage. I will summon the ministers this afternoon to announce this matter. You may now leave."

Despite his ominous premonition, the daimyo refused to believe that his private army had been completely wiped out until he received concrete news. He was determined to hold on until he received definite news.

"There's no need. The new world no longer has a ship to carry you. Just obediently leave here!" Ye Cang sneered, coldly announcing his end to him.

Daimyo's face turned even paler, and his heart was filled with fear.

He looked at Yekura, only to see that one of Yekura's eyes suddenly turned blood red. In an instant, the three-tomoe Sharingan destroyed all the Daimyo's defenses and took away his mind.

He felt his consciousness gradually fading, and his body was no longer under his control.

"Is this the power of the Sharingan? No wonder he is a descendant of a god."

Feeling the surging power in his pupils, Ye Cang couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

It's unimaginable what kind of power a true Uchiha savior possesses, given that the transcription seal was merely cast casually by Iori.

After composing himself, Ye Cang turned to look at the daimyo. The daimyo, who had once been high and mighty, now stood blankly in the hall like a fool. His past power was no match for absolute strength.

"Your life will continue as usual from now on. Since all your subordinates have died in battle, you have abandoned your plans against Sunagakure and will focus on maintaining the stability of the Land of Wind. As long as Sunagakure does not rebel, you will not take any action!" Yekura calmly imprinted his thoughts on his mind.

Daimyo repeated Yekura's words, and then his eyes suddenly became lively, just like before.

He lowered his head and said, "I will now summon the ministers. Yecang-kun, Sunagakure is in your hands."

Yekura replied with a smile, "I will not let you down, Daimyo-sama."

The ministers, who had been suddenly summoned, looked at the harmonious scene before them, where the emperor and his ministers were bewildered, and wondered if they were hallucinating.

The daimyo looked at the somewhat stunned ministers and said unhappily, "Why don't you come and pay your respects? This is the new Fifth Kazekage, the renowned Scorching Release: Pakura."

"On her way to the capital, she easily defeated the enemy's ambush. She is currently the strongest ninja in the Land of Wind. You must show her respect, understand?"

"Ambush" and "strongest"—these were the two keywords the ministers extracted, and they immediately guessed the reason for the daimyo's initial arrogance followed by obsequiousness.

Even if Sunagakure is weakened, it's impossible for the enemy to have ambushes lurking on the main roads of the capital. The only explanation is that these ambushes are actually our own people in disguise.

It seems the battle between the daimyo and the ninja village has been decided, and it's another defeat for the daimyo.

Even at its weakest, Sunagakure was not something that any power outside of the Five Great Nations could defeat.

Seeing the seemingly resigned daimyo, many ministers breathed a sigh of relief. Not all ministers were as ambitious as the daimyo, wanting to challenge the one-country-one-village system.

In most people's eyes, the stability and continuation of the family is the most important thing.

The ministers who had originally conspired with the daimyo to seize control of Sunagakure shrank back like quails after seeing the obedient daimyo of the Land of Wind, daring not to act rashly for fear of being made scapegoats by the daimyo.

In a situation where one party doesn't want to cause trouble to avoid delaying important matters, and the other party is trying to please her and doesn't want her to settle old scores.

The ceremony went very smoothly, and in just a few hours, Yekura had already become the fifth Kazekage in law.

Without lingering, Yekura took the letter of appointment and left the capital.

Not long after she left, the ninja who went to find the private army finally returned, bringing everyone the news that the ninja army had been completely wiped out, and making them fully realize the reality.

Chapter 361 Succession of the Wind Shadow and the Wind Country's Peaceful Evolution

Weary from her journey, Yekura returned to Sunagakure and went straight to the Kazekage Building without delay.

The ninja guards at the entrance immediately stood up straight and bowed to Yekura upon seeing her arrival: "Fifth Hokage!"

It was no secret in the village that Yekura had gone to the capital of the Land of Wind. As is customary, the daimyo would not have any questions about the choice of Kazekage. Yekura's trip to the capital was just a formality.

Now that she has returned, she must have gained the daimyo's approval and become the Fifth Kazekage.

Yekura nodded in agreement without lingering. Chiyo and the two high-ranking officials' chakra were in the Kazekage Building, so it seemed she wouldn't need to make two trips.

Looking at the door in front of him, Ye Cang had no intention of knocking and simply pushed it open.

Thump! The door slammed against the wall with a loud bang.

Chiyo and the two high-ranking officials glared at the newcomers, but their expressions quickly changed.

Chiyo looked at Yekura, who was covered in dust but unharmed, and her previously irritable mood instantly improved, and a smile appeared on her face.

Yekura's safe arrival must have thwarted their plans.

However, the two of them were not in a good mood. Since Yekura had returned alive, it meant that their plan had failed.

Worse still, they practically got involved in luring Yekura into the trap, and now the two of them have no way to clear themselves of suspicion of ambushing the new Kazekage.

Yekura smiled at Chiyo, then turned to the two executives and said coldly, "You're surprised I came back alive, aren't you?"

"What are you saying? Don't think that just because you're the Kazekage you can be so disrespectful to the elders. You need to understand that I've been serving Sunagakure since the time of the First Hokage!"

At this moment, they naturally wouldn't show any guilty expression; on the contrary, they became even more assertive. If it weren't for the fact that they had so many flaws, Ye Cang might have actually hesitated.

Ye Cang sneered and said, "Is that so? Then how do you explain all this?"

She reached into her pouch and pulled out the materials prepared by Iori. Although the contents were written by Iori's shadow clone, they were extracted from the souls of their trusted confidants.

Chiyo picked up the document that Yekura handed her and began to read it carefully.

Chiyo's expression grew increasingly grim as she watched, until finally, unable to contain her anger, she said to the two men, "Fine, fine, you did a great job."

"Although I have always suspected the Daimyo's motives for cutting military spending and wondered if he was secretly training ninjas, top-tier ninjas cannot be trained with resources alone."

"But what I didn't expect was that you were actually using the Sand Village's secret techniques to help him train ninjas... This is digging up the very foundation of the Sand Village!"

"Since you've chosen to betray Sunagakure for the sake of your clans, then perish along with your clans!"

Hearing Chiyo's murderous question, the two of them could no longer utter the words they had wanted to say in their defense.

Chiyo was not a reckless person. Since she spoke so seriously, the evidence must be irrefutable, leaving Chiyo with no intention of verifying it.

They looked at the document in Chiyo's hand with suspicion, wondering where the flaw had been revealed, but at this point they had no time to think too much.

"Chiyo, are you trying to start a civil war?" one of them shouted defiantly, but his feet moved toward the window with the other, preparing to escape.

"It's not about starting a civil war, it's about making a tough decision!" Chiyo said without hesitation. The other party's actions had crossed her bottom line, and only by making an example of them could she deter others.

"Is that so? Then come on, I'll be waiting for you!" Before they finished speaking, the two of them leaped out of the window at the same time.

Only when they were in mid-air did they realize with surprise that there was another Yekura waiting there.

"Scorching Release: Over-Steam Kill!" Ye Cang's voice was icy cold. A powerful burst of chakra erupted from her body, and a huge fireball formed in her hand, which then flew towards the two of them with lightning speed.

As if walking into a trap, the two of them ran directly into Yekura's fireball.

The intense heat evaporated all the moisture from their bodies in an instant, and they lost their lives before they could even cry out in pain.

Chiyo leaned out of the window, coldly staring at the two corpses, then said to Yekura, "Let's go, take care of them before their forces can react!"

Ye Cang nodded and followed closely behind her.

Under Chiyo's leadership, the cleanup went very smoothly.

Although their power was immense, not many ninjas truly followed them wholeheartedly, and many died in the previous siege of Yekura.

Despite their anticipation of the ambush's failure and the preparations they had made, none of Chiyo's well-prepared targets escaped her clutches.

If you say the whole family should be together, then the whole family should be together.

All the ninjas who participated in leaking the secrets of Sunagakure and helping the Daimyo train his ninja army were executed for treason.

The ruthless methods silenced the others, preventing them from harboring any disloyal thoughts.

Chiyo's methods were not only to deal with the defection, but also a warning to Yokura.

Judging from what has happened before, there must be other forces behind Pakura, and Chiyo's biggest suspicion is naturally that of the current number one ninja village - Konoha.

Through this swift and decisive action, Chiyo hoped to make Yekura realize her mistake and not truly betray Sunagakure.

If Yecang really betrays her, she will definitely not show any mercy.

Yekura naturally understood Chiyo's meaning, but after returning from death, her vision had surpassed that of her past self. The so-called Konoha and Sunagakure were nothing more than dust in the universe.

The Sand Village, which has only existed for a few decades, is worthless compared to the future that Iori promised.

For Yekura, who came from a humble background, what she loved was the people of this land, not a meaningless name.

As long as the Sand Village exists, then the Sand Village will also exist.

Chiyo, who was unsure of Yekura's specific thoughts, felt somewhat relieved seeing that her expression remained unchanged.

It seems that Yekura has not completely surrendered to Konoha; at least, she has no intention of betraying Sunagakure.

The next day, on the Kazekage Building, where the bloodstains had just been cleaned, Yekura stood and addressed the villagers.

She passionately promised them numerous rights and outlined the obligations they would have to fulfill in the future.

What the audience didn't know was that these were basically the words Iori had spoken to the villagers of Konoha when he became the Fifth Hokage.

Moved by Yekura's speech, Chiyo handed over most of her power to her. However, due to her suspicion of the power behind Yekura, she abandoned her original plan to retire and continued to stay in the position of advisor.

Yekura did not give up on winning over Chiyo. Chiyo's main concerns were the disappearance of her grandson and the death of her younger brother, and these two issues were not without a possibility of resolution.

After seeing Yekura gain power in Sunagakure, Iori felt relieved. The rest was no longer his concern. Yekura needed to save her homeland, and Iori didn't need to interfere too much.

Afterwards, Iori used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha.

Chapter 362 The Ninja World Conquest Plan is Progressing Steadily

Upon returning to Konoha, Iori received a message from Tobirama Senju.

"He accepted reality so quickly? I thought he needed some time to process before making a decision. No wonder he's the man who single-handedly brought the Cloud Ninja to its peak." Iori shook his head, a smile appearing on his face.

The man Iori mentioned was the deceased Third Raikage. In reviving Pakura, he also revived the Third Raikage A and the First Tsuchikage Ishigawa.

These two are considered important figures in the conquest of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth in Iori.

The Third Raikage is the current leader of the Cloud Village and the father of the Fourth Raikage, while the First Tsuchikage is the current Tsuchikage and the teacher of the Third Tsuchikage.

If the two of them are willing to step forward, they can establish a banner in the ninja village.

Because of their status as former Kage, ninjas who were originally unable to surrender due to oaths and emotions could now join the New Konoha camp with a clear conscience.

Furthermore, through their personal connections, they can more easily persuade the current Raikage and Tsuchikage.

After all, the father-son relationship and the master-disciple relationship are the closest in the ninja world. Apart from Konoha, which likes Koro-sensei, other ninja villages are relatively respectful of their teachers.

The reason the Mizukage wasn't revived was because Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha had messed around in the Kirigakure, which severely damaged the Kage's prestige.

The current Mizukage, Yagura, has been assassinated countless times by his subordinate Kirigakure ninja, let alone the previous Mizukage.
