"She'll recycle it!"

He suddenly raised his voice, like a thunderclap.

"Reclaim all the chakra in this ninja world! Because chakra is her power!"

In her eyes, all of us are crops in her nursery!

It's reserve grain!

Once she breaks free from her seal, the first thing she'll do is drain the entire ninja world dry!

Whether you're a Kage or a Genin, whether you're human or a Tailed Beast, you'll all become nourishment for her to regain her power!

At that time, the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor and the Tsuchikage's Dust Release will be nothing but a fart in the face of the progenitor's power!

It doesn't even qualify as fireworks!

The lightning on Ai's body flickered violently, and his expression turned extremely ugly.

Onoki subconsciously lowered his levitation height, and the light of his Dust Release almost went out.

"The most exciting part is yet to come!"

As if the atmosphere wasn't serious enough, Uchiha Sho added fuel to the fire.

"You think Kaguya is the only one?"

How naive! She was just one of the 'farmers' sent by the Otsutsuki clan to plant trees!

The Otsutsuki are a true race from the stars!

They viewed the planet as a nursery, used intelligent life as fertilizer, and cultivated something called the 'Divine Tree,' with the aim of producing the 'Chakra Fruit' that would grant people instant ascension to heaven!

He opened his arms wide, as if embracing the entire world of despair:

"Kaguya and her friend (referring to Isshiki Otsutsuki) planted trees here, but one of them was sealed in the moon to be a light bulb, and the other is probably dead too (he didn't say anything specific, making it seem more mysterious).

Now here's the problem: the Otsutsuki clan has discovered that the 'farmer' they sent out has gone missing, and the trees haven't bore fruit on time... What do you think they'll do?

A wicked, crazed smile spread across his face:

They will send someone!

Send stronger, more ruthless, and more condescending Otsutsuki warriors to check the situation, to reclaim the 'fruit', and to clear away the 'weeds'!

When the time comes, facing cosmic monsters that can traverse the sea of ​​stars, treat tailed beasts like pets, and have the Rinnegan as standard equipment, what will our Allied Shinobi Forces, who are still fighting tooth and nail for their own little territory, use to stop them?

Using the Raikage's Iron Fist?

Use the Earth Shadow's Dust Release cube?

Should we use the acid mist from the Water Shadow to wash their face?

The entire ruin was deathly silent. Only the mournful sound of the wind blowing through the broken walls and rubble could be heard.

Uchiha Xiang looked with satisfaction at the expressions on everyone's faces, a mixture of fear, disbelief, and a hint of despair, especially Ai and Onoki, whose anger had long been overshadowed by a great sense of crisis.

"Now, do you understand?"

Uchiha Sho's voice regained its lazy yet absolutely commanding tone.

"I, the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Sō, established the 'Heavenly Court' not to become some kind of overlord of the ninja world (although being that kind of overlord wouldn't be bad if it were just a side effect), nor to bully you all (although it would be quite fun to bully you occasionally)!"

He patted Pain on the shoulder (the latter didn't react), then pointed to Pakura, Gakki, and Miroku behind him:

"We are here to consolidate our strength!"

It was to break down the old systems that hindered the development of ninjas!

It is to concentrate the resources, wisdom, and power of the entire ninja world!

Research stronger ninjutsu, train stronger ninjas, and develop weapons capable of destroying planets (like my 'Great Luo Cave Heaven, Tailed Beast Ball, Law-Level, Nine-Shot Limited Edition')! Let's meet those jackals from the stars!

He stepped forward, the purple light of his Eternal Kaleidoscope gazing upon the Raikage and Tsuchikage like an abyss, his tone carrying an almost sacred madness and a selfless sense of responsibility:

"I, Uchiha Sho, am willing to stand at the forefront and withstand the first wave of lightning for the entire ninja world!"

The Heavenly Divine Court was created for this purpose!

Join us, integrate resources, break free of shackles, and only then will we have a sliver of a chance to survive as warriors, not as fertilizer and slaves, on the future battlefields of space!

He spread his hands, his smile both bright and laced with an undeniable threat:

"So, Raikage, Tsuchikage, what's your choice?"

Should they continue to cling to those decadent daimyo and nobles, waiting to be taken back by Kaguya or cleared away as weeds by the Otsutsuki?

"Should we set aside our pathetic pride and old grudges, join us, and fight for the future of the entire ninja world?"

He blinked and added, "Of course, if you insist on being the remnants of the old era... I don't mind helping you make a graceful exit early, and by the way, use your territory to test my new toy, which is 'environmentally friendly and pollution-free, but a bit map-intensive'."

Don't worry, I'll pay for the urn. It'll be absolutely high-end and classy, ​​with the words "Martyr of the Old Era" engraved in gilded letters. How about that? Pretty generous, right?

Above the ruins, the smoke and dust seemed to solidify. Only Uchiha Eiji's words, filled with madness, chuunibyou, and blatant threats yet imbued with a tremendous sense of "mission," echoed.

Pain's Rinnegan gazed down indifferently, Yekura's eyes were resolute, Gao Qiao's smile carried a shrewd calculation, and Miroku's purifying light flickered slightly, attempting to soothe the tremors deep in everyone's souls.

The pressure felt like a massive boulder, weighing heavily on the hearts of Raikage A and Tsuchikage Onoki.

Uchiha Sho's voice was like a resounding bell, carrying an undeniable power: "Those guys possess power surpassing that of the Sage of Six Paths!"

They will come eventually!

If the ninja world does not unite under the banner of the Heavenly Court, does not bind its strength together, and does not establish a more efficient and powerful system, there will only be one outcome—destruction!

To become someone else's meal!

Do you want to continue being the watchdogs kept by the nobility, slowly decaying and waiting to die?

Or do you yearn to become an eagle soaring through the stars, mastering your own destiny and protecting your homeland?!

The carrot (resources, development, new order, and joint resistance against external enemies) plus the stick (absolute force, isolation, and prophecy of destruction) was used to its fullest extent by Uchiha Zō!

Ai's fists clenched tightly, lightning flashing, but the anger in his eyes was replaced by a hint of shock and confusion.

Onoki's Dust Release light completely went out, and he slowly landed on the ground, his aged face full of solemnity and contemplation.

The alien threat described by Uchiha Eiji, combined with the power he displayed and the presence of Nagato, left them no choice but to believe it! This was far more impactful than any "pacifism"!

"so,"

Uchiha Sho's voice softened, taking on a persuasive tone that suggested he was doing this for their own good.

"He signed the 'Investiture of the Gods' (he flipped his hand, and a huge scroll, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura, neither gold nor jade, appeared out of thin air and floated in the air. Countless fine runes flashed on the scroll, and the power of laws flowed faintly), and joined the Council of the Heavenly Divine Court."

"We don't want to annex your ninja villages, but to establish a higher-level alliance!"

He pointed to the scroll and began to sketch out a grand plan:

Ministry of Commerce (Gao Qiao steps forward): "In charge of all economic lifelines! Resource allocation, cross-border trade, currency issuance, technology promotion! Let the mines of Sunagakure, the ports of Kirigakure, the lightning technology of Kumogakure, the earth-style infrastructure of Iwagakure, and the all-around capabilities of Konoha all flow and maximize their value! Money? Plenty! Technology? Shared! Common prosperity is not a dream!"

Raibu (Uchiha Eiji tapped his guard armband): "Internal Security Department! To maintain internal security in each member country, handle supernatural crimes, crack down on rogue ninja, and ensure social stability under the new order. It is composed of elites drawn from each ninja village, sharing intelligence and cooperating in law enforcement."

Tobu (his gaze swept across all the Kage present): "External Military Command! Integrate the armed forces directly under the Five Great Shinobi Villages and the Heavenly Court, and unify their command! Specialize in external defense, space exploration, and... combating the Otsutsuki! This is the ultimate destination of shinobi power! Just imagine, gathering the elites of the entire shinobi world to develop weapons of war and explore the mysteries of the stars!"

Ministry of Industry (Yakura spoke calmly): "Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development! Oversee all infrastructure construction in the ninja world! Road construction, bridge building, mountain clearing, land reclamation, new city construction, and research and development of ninjutsu for the benefit of the people! Greening the Land of Wind? Land reclamation in the Land of Water? Setting up a superconducting power grid in the Land of Lightning? Building an underground city in the Land of Rock? All of these will be planned by the Ministry of Industry! Use ninjutsu to change lives and let the power of ninjas benefit every ordinary person!"

"As for those troublesome daimyo and nobles?"

Uchiha Elephant grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and looked at Rasa and Mei Terumi.

"Naturally, there will be 'representatives of public opinion' (referring to the Wind Shadow and Water Shadow and their forces) who 'follow the trend of history' to 'persuade' them to step down with dignity and enjoy the 'generous retirement benefits' (house arrest/exile) provided by the Heavenly Court. As for the rebels? They are the remnants of the old era, which will be cleaned up by the Thunder Department and the Fighting Department. It's a good opportunity to train them."

He patted the floating scroll of the Investiture of the Gods: "Sign it, and your names will be engraved on the new order. Your ninja villages will become the cornerstone of the Heavenly Court. Your ninjas will gain unprecedented resources and room for development. We will also have the power to fight against the threat from the stars! Don't sign?"

Uchiha Sō and Pain (Nagato)'s auras surged once more, the ripples of the Rinnegan and the purple light of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan intertwined, and a suffocating sense of oppression enveloped the entire area, causing even the rubble in the ruins to tremble slightly.

“If you don’t sign, you’ll be a sinner who hinders the progress of the ninja world and watches it be destroyed. The Heavenly Court’s way of dealing with sinners is usually…more efficient (physical).”

Nagato's icy voice was like a final judgment.

Ai and Onoki exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes a deep sense of powerlessness, shock, and a hint of... apprehension about the threat posed by that vast starry sky.

Revolt?

The disparity in strength is overwhelming, and with Rasa and Mei Terumi defecting, there is no chance of victory.

A delaying tactic? The power of laws flowing on that scroll is no ordinary contract; once signed, one would likely lose control of their own destiny.

However, the vision depicted by Uchiha Sho, especially the part about resource integration to combat alien threats, made it impossible for them to completely deny it.

Ultimately, faced with overwhelming power, the lure of tangible benefits (the carrot), and devastating prophecies of the future (the stick), they succumbed to the pressure.

Under the mysterious, binding light emanating from the "Investiture of the Gods," Ai gritted his teeth, and Onoki sighed, almost simultaneously reaching out and pressing their chakra seals onto the enormous scroll.

Om-!

The Investiture of the Gods burst forth with brilliant light, and the mysterious runes flowed as if they had come alive, deeply imprinting the marks of the (nominal) leaders of the five great ninja villages and the core members of the Heavenly Court within them.

An invisible force, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, instantly formed, enveloping the entire venue. This foreshadowed the complete collapse of the old order of the ninja world and the official opening of a new era led by the "Heavenly Emperor" Uchiha Sō, known as the "Heavenly Divine Court."

Uchiha Eiji watched with satisfaction as the scroll's light gradually faded, a radiant smile spreading across his face. He winked at the silent Pain beside him.

"Done! See? I told you 'nuclear peace' was the fastest way to solve the problem, right?"

Next, it's time to properly 'entertain' our dear esteemed gentlemen from various countries.

Chapter 212, Itachi: My Foolish Younger Brother

Uchiha Eizo has come clean; he's not pretending anymore.

He and Nagato together are enough to suppress the entire ninja world, so why should he continue to "humiliate" himself?

We used a carrot and stick approach to forcefully suppress any dissent.

Allowing them to join the Heavenly Divine Court through shareholding is merely a way to reduce Ai, Onoki, and the others' resistance.

As for Black Zetsu and Obito, with Uchiha Eiji giving Obito a heads-up beforehand and the old fox Genji taking action, Yagura Kaguya has probably already broken free from the control of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

At the same time, after "driving away" Obito and Black Zetsu, Yagura Karatachi will probably have to resign and give way to Mei Terumi.

Deep within the Hidden Mist Village, in the secret chamber of the Water Shadow Building

The air was damp and heavy, filled with the smell of the sea and a faint hint of blood.

Master Yuan, the true pillar of Kirigakure, leaned on his snake staff, his cloudy but sharp eyes fixed on the distance ahead.
