This is at least a first step.

And it's a very crucial step.

It's important to understand that those two countries are major powers, truly powerful in both military and economic terms compared to those insignificant small nations.

If even they chose to submit to Konoha, then it's conceivable that they must have done so for a very valid reason, not just through military suppression.

Just as Old Purple was racking his brains, the Four-Tails' voice rang out again, urging, "I've lived for over a thousand years, what haven't I seen? The essence of humanity is evil, and you've always thought so too, haven't you, Old Purple?"

"They'll fight each other for the smallest gain, resorting to all sorts of schemes and tricks. Humans often say we Tailed Beasts are a collection of evil, but in reality, you show absolutely no mercy when you hurt each other..."

"Speaking of evil, we tailed beasts have merely lent a portion of our power to you humans over countless years."

"It is clear from this that Uchiha Ryosuke's ideal is absolutely impossible to achieve."

Its words shook the belief that Lao Zi had just painstakingly built up once again.

After a moment of silence, Lao Zi replied, "You are right."

"Lend me your power again, 857. This time, I want all of it!"

"Hahahaha... Look at you, you also yearn to use my power to conquer this world, don't you?"

"In that case, let me out, and let's cause a huge ruckus together!"

As the Four-Tails spoke, it began to continuously pour chakra into Rōshi's body.

Instantly, his depleted stamina and chakra were replenished, and Rōshi felt that he was now almost invincible.

At this moment, he finally understood that it wasn't that the Four-Tails' chakra was exhausted, but rather that this guy had never trusted him from the beginning, so he had always held back.

If it truly gave me all its power, how could it possibly let me be defeated so easily?

"As expected, even the tailed beasts are full of lies, not to mention humans."

Right now, Old Purple doesn't have the time to confront the Four-Tails.

His target is Uchiha Ryosuke.

Just as Rōshi regained his power and the Four-Tails' chakra cloak completely covered his body, allowing him to enter a fully transformed tailed beast state, Uchiha Ryōyū spoke.

"You really know how to spread rumors and mislead people..."

"Looks like I have no choice but to teach you a lesson."

After saying that, he immediately made his move, grabbing Old Purple's collar with lightning speed as he entered his fully transformed tailed beast state. Then, his right fist, covered in Armament Haki, slammed into the other's face.

This punch deformed the opponent's face.

But the scorching red chakra, with its intense burning power, instantly corroded his fist.

Fortunately, Uchiha Ryosuke withdrew his fist in time, thus avoiding greater injury.

He glanced at his fist in surprise.

"Even Armament Haki can't defend against this corrosive power?"

Just as such a thought crossed his mind, Uchiha Ryosuke heard a notification sound.

[You are dissatisfied with your current level of Armament Haki and desperately desire greater power. You have mastered Armament Haki - Advanced!]

[Advanced Armament Haki: An amplified and enhanced version of basic Armament Haki, far surpassing it in both quantity and intensity. This level encompasses four effects: Armament Haki coverage, entangling, external projection, and internal destruction. Users can freely switch between these effects or utilize all of them simultaneously.]

Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Uchiha Ryosuke immediately smiled.

"Try this punch!"

He pulled Lao Zi back from being thrown forward by the huge inertial impact, and once again punched him hard in the face with his right fist.

This time, the advanced Armament Haki used instantly broke through the opponent's body defenses and entered the body to wreak havoc.

"Oh no, did we kill him?"

Uchiha Ryosuke only realized he might have gone a bit too far after he made his move.

He quickly withdrew his fist and looked at the other person.

Lao Zi's body was like a rapidly spinning windmill, flying towards the horizon.

Uchiha Ryosuke immediately used Advanced Flying Thunder God Technique to catch up.

By the time he arrived beside Old Purple, who had flown thousands of meters and crashed heavily to the ground, the tailed beast chakra cloak on his body had already disappeared.

The damage to his body from complete tailed beast transformation is rapidly healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

However, this time Uchiha Ryosuke did not stop there.

His gaze focused on the other person, and their eyes met.

In an instant, his mind forcefully invaded the opponent's brain and saw the Four-Tails' true form in the sealed space.

"Those ominous eyes..."

"It seems I underestimated you, kid."

"You call me kid, so are you an old ghost?"

Uchiha Ryosuke crossed his arms and smiled knowingly.

"Your ideal is impossible to achieve; it's nothing but your own fantasy. World peace is a false proposition."

The four tails seemed to be talking to themselves.

He was imprisoned in a huge cage.

The seemingly impenetrable prison, filled with sealing techniques, appeared to be the strongest obstacle preventing Uchiha Ryosuke from succeeding.

"I didn't come here to reason with you."

Uchiha Ryosuke laughed.

After saying that, he walked directly towards the cage.

As the other party walked straight toward its sealed cage, the Four-Tails immediately felt the pressure from Uchiha Ryosuke.

The feeling grew stronger and stronger, making it difficult for him to cope.

"what on earth do you want?"

It asked in a deep voice.

"I'll beat you up."

"Damn it... brat, don't think you can bully me."

"If you're not someone to be bullied, will you be sealed here?"

Uchiha Ryosuke's counter-question almost choked him to death.

At this moment, he had already passed through the sealed cage and entered it.

The enormous four-tailed beast, compared to a human like Uchiha Ryosuke, was like a mountain.

But the one trembling was actually the Four-Tails.

It would be difficult to withstand just those Sharingan eyes.

Not to mention, in their previous encounters, it had fought alongside Lao Zi against this man.

"Oh?"

"So even tailed beasts can feel fear?"

Uchiha Ryosuke sensed the other party's emotional changes using his Observation Haki.

He couldn't help but make a joke.

"Who, who said I'm afraid?"

The Four-Tails is trying to justify itself; of course, it's impossible for it to admit anything at a time like this.

Then the myth of himself as the source of evil, the legend of calamity, which instilled fear and dread in almost all of humanity (afbd), is about to be shattered.

"Now that you have defeated Lao Zi, why do you still need to come here to humiliate me?"

Four-Tails seems to have backed down a bit.

Although its tone was still tough, its words implied a plea for mercy.

"Who told you to encourage that guy?"

"He had already agreed with my ideas, hadn't he?"

Uchiha Ryosuke retorted confidently.

This is true.

The Four-Tails inside Rōshi's body could naturally sense the thoughts of its jinchūriki.

However, even in the eyes of the tailed beasts, unifying the ninja world was a fantasy as far-fetched as a pipe dream.

The Four-Tails finally understood the reason.

"and many more!"

"You...you can hear the conversation between me and Lao Zi??"

Faced with the overwhelming force of Uchiha Ryosuke, the Four-Tails was clearly thrown into disarray.

So it wasn't until now that it realized the problem.

At that time, there was no physical communication between my words and Lao Zi.

That was just an exchange of thoughts from the bottom of our hearts.

It should be impossible for outsiders to hear it.

So why?

Unless he can hear the communication between himself and Lao Zi in his mind.

But how did they manage to do that?

Uchiha Ryosuke didn't hide anything, but of course he didn't explain either.

He simply replied, "You have no secrets from me."

"Now, make a choice: will you submit to me and use your power to support my goals, or do you want to remain sealed away like this?"

As Uchiha Ryosuke spoke, he rolled up his sleeves in a friendly manner.

Judging from the way they're acting, if Yotaka says even one wrong word, no, even one wrong syllable, he'll probably get a beating.

Where do you put your face?

"With your current power, it's only a matter of time before you sweep across the entire ninja world. So why do you need to use my power?"

Four-tailed Fox answered.

Uchiha Ryosuke smiled and said, "Tailed Beasts are recognized as powerful forces. Throughout history, your existence has either been an object of fear or a target of contention."

"As for the power of the Tailed Beasts, having it but not using it is one thing, and not having it at all is another. I don't know if you understand what I'm saying?"

After a few seconds, he added, "And it seems you weren't listening to what I said before, were you? I told you, there's an organization called 'Akatsuki' looking for you, capturing tailed beasts everywhere in order to realize their ambitious plans."

"What I need to do is to bring you together and stop them from achieving their ambitions. This is the simplest and most basic purpose."

After saying that, he spread his hands.

Next, he simply crossed his arms and waited patiently for the Four-Tails to respond.

Seeing that even the Four-Tails had fallen silent, Uchiha Ryosuke explained, "If I intended to harm you, if I had any ill intentions, do you think I would waste my time talking to you like this?"

Yotsuba felt that what he said made sense.

If Uchiha Ryosuke really harbored any ill will towards him, he would definitely have resorted to violence by now.

There's absolutely no need to be so polite.

It seems this kid does have some sincerity, though not much.

After a brief hesitation, it nodded: "Kid, I'm not trying to compromise or submit to you. I just want to see how you make a fool of yourself."

"Since you're fantasizing about unifying the entire ninja world, then I won't get involved in these matters; I'll just be an observer."

"I hope that if you fail, you won't blame me!"

Uchiha Ryosuke smiled faintly.
