The three were restless, but they were gradually drawn in by Iori's description and began to listen attentively.

"So, that's all I have to say. Are there any more questions?" After finishing what she had planned to say, Iori glanced at everyone and asked calmly.

Everyone shook their heads. They had received far too much information at once, and their minds were still foggy. Without some time to process it, they probably wouldn't be able to come up with any questions.

Seeing the silent crowd, Iori said to the two Raikage, "If there's nothing else, then I'll leave the rest of the work to you. I hope you won't disappoint me."

The Fourth Raikage quickly said, "Please wait a moment, sir."

After saying that, he quickly pulled Samui and Karui aside and whispered to each other. A few minutes later, the three of them returned to Iori.

The Fourth Raikage pointed at Samui, Karui, Mabui, and the two Yugito and said, "These four are the suitable candidates I have chosen, and they are all willing to become your concubines."

"I don't know which one you would like to choose. If you don't like any of them, I will choose from other ninjas who are willing."

Iori said, "If you are doing this willingly, I can tell you the truth: your marriage to me is purely for political reasons. Even if you regret it, you have no choice. I hope you can think it through."

Without hesitation, all four replied, "I've made up my mind, I'm willing."

In terms of looks, status, and ability, Iori is an impeccable choice for a husband.

For the four who already had no one they liked, this task was not even worth considering. After all, it's not just men who are attracted to women; sometimes women prefer handsome men.

Iori's gaze swept over the four people, finally lingering between Samui and the two Yugito.

After careful consideration, Iori ultimately trusted the second brother's judgment and chose the one with the bigger breasts.

"Then, Samui, please take care of me from now on." Iori pointed to the fair-skinned, large-breasted girl and made his choice.

"Yes!" Samui nodded excitedly.

The three who were not selected were slightly disappointed, but they didn't care too much.

Iori took Samui's hand and said to the others, "Then I'll take her back to Konoha first. I'll leave this place to you."

The Fourth Raikage bowed slightly and replied in a deep voice, "Yes, please rest assured."

Iori nodded, then vanished instantly with Samui.

Standing upright, the Fourth Raikage turned to the crowd and said, "Let's go back to Kumogakure. Before the ninja world is unified, we must eliminate the hidden dangers in the village."

"Yes!"

Chapter 366 The End of Iwagakure (4900 words)

Back in Konoha, Iori first accompanied Samui on a stroll through the village, introducing her to the local customs and culture.

After she calmed down, he took her to Uchiha Fugaku's residence and asked Uchiha Mikoto to take care of her before the wedding.

Although Tsunade and the others didn't care that Iori was building a harem to stabilize the ninja world, Iori couldn't push his luck and ask them to help take care of Samui.

After dealing with the Cloud Ninja, Iori thought for a moment and decided to resolve the Land of Earth issue first, leaving the Land of Water and Akatsuki for last.

After reviewing the information left by Tobirama Senju, Iori headed to the location of the First Tsuchikage, Ishiga.

-----------------

Before they even reached their destination, Tobirama's cold voice came from the room.

"Enough, you're too stubborn, Shihe."

"No, you can't fool me. Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do what you're saying, so how could the Fifth Hokage possibly do it!"

"So you want him to demonstrate that power in Iwagakure?"

"Hmph, if you can do it, then go ahead and try. The Iwa ninja won't be destroyed so easily!"

The First Tsuchikage, Ishigawa, was exceptionally stubborn. In his eyes, even someone as powerful as Madara Uchiha could not possibly fight against the entire ninja world single-handedly.

What he was seeing now was nothing more than an illusion created by Konoha.

As for his resurrection, he had heard of Tobirama Senju's Impure World Reincarnation technique long before his death; now it was simply that this ninjutsu had been developed to be even more perfect.

If the other side is really as powerful as they claim, there's no need to seek surrender; they can simply crush them.

As for sacrifice?

When faced with victory, ninjas never care about sacrifice, let alone the sacrifice of people from other ninja villages.

As the last surviving member of the Warring States period and the man who founded Iwagakure, he didn't believe Iori's story at all.

Looking at the stubborn man, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but rub his forehead, his eyes blazing with barely suppressed killing intent.

“Fool, then remember this: if the Fifth Hokage fails to persuade Onoki, you will have a share of the credit for those dead ninjas of Iwagakure.”

Tobirama turned and left, no longer trying to persuade this stubborn fellow. Since he was unwilling to accept Konoha's mercy, perhaps using Iwagakure to establish his authority was not a bad idea.

He had just stepped out the door when he saw Iori leaning against the wall.

He said with a hint of helplessness, "Sorry, Godai, this guy is stubborn. He just won't believe that our goal is peace, or rather, he's unwilling to establish a peace led by us."

"If Onoki thinks the same way, then we have no choice but to kill him."

In Konoha, Tobirama and Hashirama were the most supportive of Iori's peaceful unification plan.

Hashirama, needless to say, was a saintly and kind-hearted man who was extremely soft-hearted when it came to matters unrelated to the continuation of Konoha.

Tobirama, on the other hand, acted purely out of a need for control. Excessive killing would affect the integration of villagers from other ninja villages, stretching what might have been a one-generation process into three to five generations.

It is a tremendous waste for the future of the world.

Upon learning of the threat from beyond the world, Tobirama became extremely anxious, unwilling to miss any opportunity to strengthen the ninja world's power.

Iori nodded calmly and said, "Yes, since they don't value their lives, I won't show any mercy. Taking four of the five great ninja villages is enough."

"So, are you going now?" Tobirama asked after a moment's thought.

"Is there anything else?" Iori asked, somewhat bewildered, unsure of Tobirama's meaning.

“I mean, why not bring Ishigawa along and let him see the situation in Iwagakure with his own eyes? He might then take the initiative to persuade them to surrender,” Tobirama shrugged and offered a suggestion.

"Do you have to destroy someone's spirit before you kill them? I like that." Iori chuckled and readily accepted Tobirama's suggestion.

Tobirama turned and went back into the room, then came out carrying Ishigawa.

Although the body of a heroic spirit is powerful, it still has a fatal weakness: the replenishment of magic power, or chakra.

After becoming a Heroic Spirit, the vast majority of Heroic Spirits are unable to recover their chakra on their own, or rather, their chakra recovery speed is far slower than the rate at which their chakra is consumed.

Therefore, they must have a source of magic to provide them with magic.

Although Iori summoned Ishigawa as a Heroic Spirit, Iori cut off most of Ishigawa's magic supply because he refused to surrender. Apart from being tough and thick-skinned, he was even weaker than an ordinary person.

"Hmph, finally showing your true colors? Kill me if you want, I won't help you persuade the Iwa ninja to surrender!" Ishigawa said coldly to Tobirama, unconcerned about his predicament.

Tobirama gave a mocking smile and said to him, "It doesn't matter. Now we just need to see if Onoki knows what's good for him. If he doesn't, the gods will punish him."

"Ha, that's alarmist talk. The Iwa ninja will never be defeated by you. Our will of stone is unbreakable." Ishigawa remained unmoved.

“Stubborn fellow.” Tobirama looked up at Iori and said, “Let’s set off and try to unify the entire ninja world by the end of the year.”

"Okay, let's go!" Iori reached out and put her hand on Tobirama's shoulder. The next second, the three of them disappeared from Konoha.

-----------------

Whoosh!

The three appeared at the border of the Grass Country. These were the coordinates that Iori left behind when she last came to the Grass Country, and they were being used again.

"Fifth Generation, don't you have any closer coordinates?" Tobirama asked, puzzled.

"No, we didn't invade Iwagakure's homeland during the last Shinobi World War because I killed the Four-Tails and the Five-Tails. I didn't want to provoke Iwagakure by entering the Land of Earth." Iori shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

"Then remember to bury the coordinates everywhere after the ninja world is unified, otherwise it will be very inconvenient for you to provide support." Tobirama nodded knowingly and said no more.

Two motorcycles were summoned from the Gate of Babylon, and Iori and Tobirama rode them, speeding towards Iwagakure.

On the way, Shihe, who was strapped to the motorcycle, asked curiously, "What is this? Is it a Konoha ninja tool?"

Tobirama thought for a moment and replied perfunctorily, "I guess so."

Shi He frowned, then, remembering his status as a prisoner, shut his mouth.

Several hours later, the three approached the location of Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).

At this moment, Ishigawa suddenly began to feel uneasy. He realized that what Iori and Tobirama said seemed to be true. They really intended to rely on the two of them... no, it should be said that they relied on Iori alone to defeat Iwagakure.

He said, "Are you really going to do this? Even Madara Uchiha couldn't defeat Iwagakure single-handedly."

"First of all, you underestimate Madara Uchiha. He alone is enough to defeat the entire Iwagakure village. Secondly, you underestimate me too much. I have long surpassed Madara."

Iori spoke in a very calm tone, as if she were talking about something that everyone already knew.

Shihe was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Ishigawa waver, Tobirama asked, "Don't you think about it? By the time Iori makes his move, it might be too late."

"After all, for deterrence purposes, he won't show any mercy. It's like killing the chicken to warn the monkey; you are the chicken that gets killed."

Shihe closed his eyes and uttered the sentence he would later deeply regret: "I refuse. I believe in their will."

Tobirama shook his head regretfully and said no more.

At this moment, the noise from Iori and his companion's motorcycle caught the attention of the Iwa ninja.

Before long, two teams of Iwa ninja arrived and blocked Iori and his two companions' path.

"You... wait, it's you, Tailed Beast Slayer, Konoha Asura Uchiha Iori!" The leader of the Iwa ninja suddenly recognized Iori's identity and shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the other ninjas were startled, and then anger and fear arose in their hearts at the same time.

Iori, as the powerful figure who ended the Third Shinobi World War, is a hero in Konoha, but in other villages, he is no different from a demon.

Especially in Iwagakure and Sunagakure, too many ninjas died at his hands, directly or indirectly, leaving him with a blood debt.

However, his strength was also terrifying. Even if he appeared in front of them, they dared not go forward, fearing that they would be needlessly throwing their lives away.

At that moment, a sharp-eyed person suddenly spotted Shihe, who was tied to the motorcycle.

"Wait, doesn't that man look familiar? Why does he look so much like the First Hokage?" one of the ninjas asked, puzzled.

Although Iwagakure doesn't carve portraits of past Kage like Konoha, there are still portraits and other promotional materials left behind. Although they are somewhat inaccurate, you can still recognize them when you see the real people.

"Yes, he looks exactly like the First Hokage. Wait, could that man be the Second Hokage of Konoha? I remember seeing a wanted poster left by my grandfather, and the portrait on it looked exactly like him!"

Finally, someone recognized the Second Hokage. After all, the Second Hokage had been dead for more than 30 years, and the new generation of ninjas did not recognize him. If a ninja had not seen his portrait before, perhaps no one would have been able to recognize him.
