Crossover Anime: I'm Dominating Konoha, Sailing Through Bleach

His subordinate repeated what he had just said to him.

This time, Onoki believed it.

"How is this possible... What exactly is Uchiha Ryosuke planning to do? Does he really intend to turn the ninja world upside down?"

"It seems he intends to rule the entire ninja world."

"After all, they are members of the Uchiha clan. In the hearts of Konoha themselves, the Uchiha are also evil."

At this moment, the advisors from Iwagakure began to analyze the situation.

Upon hearing this, Onoki pondered for a moment and also felt that there seemed to be some truth to it.

He then gave a cold snort.

"The Land of Earth is not like the Land of Water or the Land of Wind. Those guys are spineless and easy to manipulate. I will absolutely not allow the Uchiha clan to cause trouble on our land!"

"If they dare to invade, I will make sure they never return!"

At this point, Onoki wasn't actually very confident.

This was because it wasn't the first time he had fought against members of the Uchiha clan.

That was when I was young.

At that time, his master, the Second Tsuchikage Mu, took him to visit the Land of Fire, intending to negotiate with Konoha.

Unexpectedly, they encountered that man on the way.

Madara Uchiha was once on par with Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage and God of Shinobi.

The two sides disagreed and a fight broke out.

The outcome of the battle was predictable.

Even though he and the Second Tsuchikage were fighting against Madara Uchiha, that man's strength was truly overwhelming.

At that time, the master and his apprentice almost died in the Land of Fire.

However, Madara Uchiha later showed leniency and let them go.

Since then, so many years have passed, and Madara Uchiha seems to have long since passed away.

Master Wu had also died many years ago.

Onoki never fought against the Uchiha clan again.

But that battle is still deeply etched in his memory.

"It looks like we're going to have to fight the Uchiha clan again."

Onoki thought to himself silently.

"This time, I will not allow your will to override mine again!"

"Iwagakure will never yield to any force!"

Onoki clenched his fist tightly as he thought about it.

His years of hard-earned dust escape technique will likely come in very handy this time.

"You all continue to gather information, and if there is any disturbance in the Land of Fire, report back immediately!"

"Furthermore, put the village on high alert and investigate all suspicious persons! Prevent enemy spies from infiltrating!"

"Notify the border defense forces that if they encounter any unidentified individuals, they must not allow them to pass!"

"..."

The experienced Onoki issued several orders in one go.

Meanwhile, other smaller countries have also received the news.

Even the Iron Country, the land of warriors, received information about the Water Country and the Wind Country submitting to the Fire Country.

The reactions of these smaller countries were basically similar to those of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth.

Even some weaker ninja villages, considering that their own combat strength was insufficient to protect themselves, unanimously agreed after discussion that they needed to seek protection and assistance from the remaining major powers.

These smaller nations quickly took action, sending envoys to the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth, hoping to protect themselves by forming alliances with these two major powers.

While these small countries were taking action to protect themselves, the Land of Fire was doing the same.

However, the Land of Fire was not conducting a war mobilization.

Following instructions from Uchiha Ryosuke, Minato Namikaze, Shikaku Nara, and others began searching for suitable locations throughout the Land of Fire to establish a ninja academy.

As for economic policy-making and personnel command, the three advisors, including Hiruzen Sarutobi, were in charge, with Fugaku Uchiha assisting them.

All the work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In addition, in order to better accomplish their mission, Konoha Village conducted extensive policy promotion in the surrounding towns.

Under such a propaganda offensive, the news quickly spread far and wide.

The news reached not only the Land of Fire, but also the Land of Wind and the Land of Water.

Rasa and Yagura, who had previously been ordered by Uchiha Ryosuke to go to Konoha to report on their duties after resolving their domestic issues in a couple of days, immediately set off for the Land of Fire upon receiving this information.

They also hoped to take advantage of the Fire Kingdom's vigorous economic reforms to help their own country ride the wave of progress.

About three days later, they arrived at Konoha Village.

At the same time, information about the movements of countries such as the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth was also relayed back through Konoha's spies.

Uchiha Ryosuke was reading intelligence documents sent back by the Anbu in the Hokage's office.

His men came in to inform him.

"Fourth Lord, the Daimyo of the Land of Water and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind have arrived."

"Well, let them in."

Uchiha Ryosuke had already sensed the familiar presence. He nodded to his subordinates and returned his gaze to the intelligence documents.

The information on the document is actually quite simple; it concerns the movements of the Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth, and other smaller nations.

Sensing the impending crisis, the smaller nations planned to form an alliance with the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth to fight against the Land of Fire.

This behavior is utterly foolish and ridiculous.

Uchiha Ryosuke no longer knew how to evaluate the daimyo of those small countries.

"When faced with an opponent you can't defeat, instead of seeking peace and compromise, you still plan to resist. How foolish..."

He was talking to himself, without any attempt to hide or conceal it.

Just as he was saying these words, Rasa and Yagura Karatachi entered.

Both of them clearly heard Uchiha Ryosuke's self-talk.

They could only pretend they knew nothing and respectfully come over to greet them.

"The Fourth Hokage."

"Oh, you guys, you've come at the perfect time."

"Go, call a meeting."

Uchiha Ryosuke spoke to the ANBU member beside him.

Soon, the main Jonin of Konoha Village were summoned to a meeting in the conference room.

Uchiha Ryosuke got straight to the point, showing the intelligence documents he had seen earlier.

"The land of grass, the land of water, the land of hot springs... these little countries don't know what's good for them."

"Our intelligence indicates that they actually intend to unite with those two major powers to confront us to the end."

"Let's all share our thoughts on this. What are your opinions?"

After saying that, Uchiha Ryosuke sat down, crossed his legs, and waited.

The other ninjas who heard his words looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone knows that this Fourth Hokage is exceptionally powerful.

Now that he's said that, he probably intends to resolve the issue by force.

Therefore, Hiashi Hyuga was the first to speak: "Fourth Hokage, is your idea to launch a military attack against them?"

Uchiha Ryosuke simply gave him a meaningful look and said nothing.

His gaze then fell upon the other ninjas.

After thinking for a moment, Akimichi Choza said in a deep breath, "Those small countries are ignorant and don't know what's good for them. They think that by uniting with those two great powers they can contend with us, but that's just wishful thinking."

"However, Fourth Hokage, our previous plan was to subdue the enemy without fighting, to let those small countries see our Konoha, the development of the entire Fire Country, Wind Country and Water Country alliance, and our powerful military strength."

"If we use force against them now, wouldn't that be a waste of all the preparations we've made over such a long period of time?"

Choza Akimichi's words were not without reason.

However, Uchiha Ryosuke just smiled without saying a word, ignoring him in the same way he treated Hyuga Hiashi.

He then looked at the other ninjas.

Yamanaka Inoichi thought for a moment, then asked curiously, "Does the Fourth Hokage mean to let those small countries unite with the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth?"

"What I need now is for you to express your own thoughts and ideas, not to ask for my personal opinion."

Uchiha Ryosuke finally responded.

Upon hearing this, everyone began to murmur amongst themselves again.

Rasa and Yagura, who were also invited to the meeting, always considered themselves outsiders.

So at this moment, they are just observing without expressing any opinion.

At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke's gaze fell on the two of them.

Why aren't you two saying anything?

Upon hearing the sound, all the ninjas present turned to look at Rasa and Yagura.

The two men smiled awkwardly, and Rasa replied, "Fourth Hokage, is it inappropriate for us to express our opinions in this setting?"

"Yes, Fourth Hokage, we are, after all, merely a vassal state..."

Before Yagura could finish speaking, Ryosuke Uchiha waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, stop talking about things that the 857 doesn't have."

Uchiha Ryosuke's gaze swept over the other ninjas, and he continued, "Since you two have sincerely submitted, the Land of Water and the Land of Wind will henceforth be one entity with the Land of Fire."

"We're all family here, there's nothing inconvenient about it."

"By the way, let's get to know each other now. You two, please introduce yourselves."

Even though it was a meeting, they suddenly asked people to introduce themselves.

That's really quite capricious.

But this order was given by Uchiha Ryosuke.

Who among those present dared to disobey his will?

Putting aside whether they could defeat Uchiha Ryosuke, given how many benefits they had received from him, who would want to be his enemy?

Rasa was originally just a Kazekage in the small village of Sunagakure.

Despite seemingly holding a good position, he is constantly at the mercy of others and has to act according to the whims of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind whenever a crisis arises.

He could only act subservient and fawn over those nobles.

Similarly, the same applies to Yagura.

He was even inferior to Luo Sha.

If Uchiha Ryosuke hadn't happened to be in Kirigakure at that time, he would now be a "puppet" of the man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara.

Furthermore, Yagura Karatachi later led Kirigakure to completely control the entire Land of Water.

Now he is not only the esteemed Water Shadow, but also the Daimyo of the Land of Water.

His status was second only to the emperor, far more prestigious than when he was merely a water shadow.

Under such circumstances, how could they possibly oppose Uchiha Ryosuke?
