Onoki narrowed his eyes, realizing Uchiha Ryosuke's purpose.
If our main force is trapped in this barrier, without food or water, the tens of thousands of troops will likely suffer casualties within a few days.
In this way, Uchiha Ryosuke's side doesn't even need to take direct action to cause their main force to collapse.
It has to be said that this move was indeed too ruthless.
"You think you can force me to compromise in this way? You're still too young!"
"I've lived for decades, and I've even fought against Madara Uchiha from Konoha! What haven't I seen?"
Onoki feigned composure and stared at Uchiha Ryosuke as he spoke.
However, Uchiha Ryosuke did not argue with the other party, but instead suggested, "After unifying the ninja world, if you were to continue serving as the prefect of Iwagakure Prefecture, would you feel better?"
The reason why Onoki was unwilling to accept his request was simply because he had some selfish motives.
First and foremost, he was certainly unwilling to accept this situation, being demoted from the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, who was on par with the Kage of Konoha, to a subordinate of Uchiha Ryosuke.
Then there's the so-called sense of national and familial responsibility.
Who would willingly allow their country to be invaded by another nation and become a prisoner?
However, if after unification, Onoki continues to manage the former Land of Earth, just like Rasa and Yagura Karatachi.
Perhaps this old guy can be more open-minded.
"What did you say?"
Onoki paused for a moment.
Uchiha Ryosuke had no choice but to repeat it.
He finally understood and was so angry he laughed.
"Uchiha Ryosuke, it seems you still don't know what my and the Land of Earth's allied forces' bottom line is!"
"We will absolutely not compromise or admit defeat to you!!"
"You can forget about conquering us by force!!"
Onoki jumped up and down, furious.
However, Uchiha Ryosuke completely ignored his reaction and directly passed through the barrier of the Four Red Yang Formation, instantly arriving inside.
He appeared beside Onoki, startling him.
Onoki was extremely vigilant and instantly entered battle mode.
However, Uchiha Ryosuke completely ignored him and instead descended towards the Land of Earth Allied Forces on the ground below.
Upon seeing this, Onoki frowned instantly, not understanding what Uchiha Ryosuke was up to.
At this moment, the Land of Earth Allied Forces on the ground also noticed the appearance of Uchiha Ryosuke.
"Watch out, everyone!! That kid's coming down!"
"A guy from Konoha Village? I think he said he was the Fourth Hokage, right?"
"He actually showed up here so brazenly, what does he want?"
"It seems the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure has been completely ignored..."
"..."
Just now, Onoki used Dust Release to attack the barrier, and some of the ninjas on the ground could see this process.
Although they couldn't hear the conversation between Onoki and Uchiha Ryosuke because they were high in the air at the time.
However, seeing that the barrier was intact and that Onoki seemed completely unable to do anything to the other side, the ninjas couldn't help but feel worried and concerned about their future.
Especially those ninjas from small countries.
They sought cooperation with Iwagakure in the Land of Earth because they feared Konoha's strength. They offered to pay a certain amount of money or promise to lease land to the Land of Earth in exchange for Iwagakure's protection.
This situation is something they didn't expect.
If the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure cannot effectively deter the enemy, then what should they do?
While the ninjas in these small countries were pondering, Uchiha Ryosuke had already landed beside them.
Ooki, high in the sky, naturally followed.
After landing, Uchiha Ryosuke ignored everyone's reactions, his gaze slowly sweeping across everyone's faces, followed by a half-smile: "Many unfamiliar faces... Let me introduce myself, I am the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, Uchiha Ryosuke."
After hearing Uchiha Ryosuke's self-introduction, many of the ninjas present, especially those not wearing Iwagakure headbands, broke out in a cold sweat.
Some people were even trembling slightly.
This really puzzled Uchiha Ryosuke.
He asked himself honestly, and realized that he had neither used force to beat these people nor said anything threatening to them.
But why do they have such a strange reaction?
At this moment, some people in the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
"So this is Uchiha Ryosuke? So that's what he looks like..."
"Was it he who conquered Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, forcing Sunagakure and the Land of Wind to submit to Konoha?"
"And then there's Kirigakure in the Land of Water. Now both of those countries have bowed down to Konoha!"
"This guy looks dangerous, but I'm not actually that afraid of those fierce-looking people!"
"Yes, it's impossible to see through his thoughts. He might be all smiles at you on the surface, but you never know if he'll suddenly deliver a fatal blow..."
"..."
These voices were kept very low.
However, saying this in front of Uchiha Ryosuke is basically as clear as shouting it out loud.
His perception is so sharp that he can easily hear sounds from several kilometers away.
"That's it..."
Uchiha Ryosuke smiled inwardly.
At this moment, the bearded ninja leader from the Land of Demons at the front of the group shouted to Uchiha Ryosuke, "Hey, Fourth Hokage of Konoha, we don't really want to be your enemy!! Actually, we're just worried about our own safety and future!"
"That's why we had no choice but to cooperate with Iwagakure... And it wasn't our idea to invade the Land of Fire; it was the Third Tsuchikage who called on us to join forces in the resistance. If we have to say, the responsibility lies with the Land of Earth and Iwagakure!!"
This guy is the Ghost Shadow of the Hidden Demon Village in the Land of Demons.
Upon hearing his words, a commotion immediately broke out around them.
The ninjas of Iwagakure were, of course, the most heartbroken.
"Damn it! Lord Third Demon King, what are you saying? You're actually pushing all the blame onto us?! Didn't you guys come to us asking for our protection?"
"This bastard is such a despicable person! No wonder he can only be the leader of a small ninja village in a tiny country! He's utterly despicable!"
"As expected, guys from small towns don't even know the most basic morality!"
"Damn it. You're actually trying to pin the blame on the Third Tsuchikage! Don't forget, it was your little country that came to us for protection!"
"..."
The words of the Third Generation Ghost Shadow provoked public outrage.
But from his own perspective, it was nothing more than a matter of self-preservation.
Anyone with eyes could see that the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was completely unable to stop Uchiha Ryosuke.
Otherwise, the other side wouldn't have been able to swagger in here right under Onoki's nose, in front of so many of their own powerful members.
If he had faced even the slightest threat to his life, would this have happened?
As the voices of the Iwagakure ninjas grew increasingly fervent in their call to punish the Third Hokage, the Onigakure ninjas, not to be outdone, began to retaliate.
Since their Ghost Lord has already begun to favor Uchiha Ryosuke, they naturally know how to choose sides.
It wasn't just the ninjas from the Hidden Shadow Village who defected; at this moment, ninjas from small ninja villages in countries like the Land of Birds, the Land of Snow, and the Land of Grass also joined the ranks of those surrendering to Uchiha Ryosuke.
"Fourth Hokage, we had no choice. Please don't blame us. We were just trying to protect ourselves..."
"We were blinded by greed and failed to see the situation clearly. Now that we know, Fourth Hokage, please give the Land of Grass a chance to repent. We are willing to become a vassal state of the Land of Fire!"
"Even the Land of Demons is willing to submit to you!"
"..."
Almost all the small countries submitted to Uchiha Ryosuke within a short period of time, willingly surrendering.
This sudden change was something Uchiha Ryosuke never expected.
He originally wanted to come down and let these people make their own choices again.
It seems that there is no need for that now.
"Small countries are truly pathetic..."
Uchiha Ryosuke thought to himself with a touch of emotion.
Faced with powerful ninja villages and individuals, the ninjas of these small ninja villages in these small countries, and even their leaders, are like those without umbrellas seeking shelter from the rain under the eaves.
If they refuse to bow their heads, they will only get soaked in the rain.
Of course, in reality, they might face annihilation.
When Onoki saw that these ninjas had turned against him, he was furious.
"You despicable bastards, I knew long ago that you (Qian Zhao's) were a bunch of opportunists!!"
"I just didn't expect you to kneel down so easily, it's really disappointing!"
He clenched his fists, wishing he could just wipe out the shadows of these small countries right now.
However, at that moment, Uchiha Ryosuke spoke up: "I accept you."
"From today onwards, you are subjects of my country. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on you is declaring war on me."
After saying that, Uchiha Ryosuke ignored Onoki and turned to look at the Iwagakure ninjas.
At this moment, many of them are still furious.
A small number of people remained silent.
These Iwagakure ninja have begun to contemplate their fate.
"Uchiha Ryosuke, you asked for this!!"
Ōnoki was furious and finally could not tolerate it any longer.
He raised his hand towards Uchiha Ryosuke, gathering the core of his Dust Release technique, intending to kill Uchiha Ryosuke right there.
However, Uchiha Ryosuke seemed oblivious to the threat posed by the attack and continued speaking to the Iwagakure ninja before him: "You are also free to choose whether to stay or leave."
"If you are willing to accept my invitation, let's work together to create a truly peaceful ninja world, a unified country, where there is no distinction between you and me, we are all compatriots."
"That way there will be no more wars, no more unnecessary sacrifices."
"Everyone can live in peace and contentment, and live happily with their family and friends. It's your choice."
"Should we fight to the death here, continuing to fight amongst ourselves for the so-called national interests, or should we unite together to build a new, unified nation?"
Uchiha Ryosuke had just finished speaking when Onoki unleashed his Dust Release.
A triangular cone-shaped barrier, coupled with the Dust Release core radiating destructive power, flew rapidly towards his back...
Chapter 113 Onoki! Ryosuke's strength! Take him down!
It was clear that Uchiha Ryosuke was about to be killed and reduced to ashes by Onoki's Dust Release.
But at that very moment, his figure suddenly vanished.
Along with it, Onoki's Dust Release attack also disappeared. The white, transparent triangular cone barrier and the Dust Release core, which carried destructive power, vanished before everyone's eyes.
"Disappeared?"
"Was that Uchiha Ryosuke killed? After all, that was the power of the Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release Kekkei Genkai!"
"I couldn't see what just happened at all, so I can't determine the outcome..."
"Hahaha! So he was killed. As expected, this kid is nothing special. The strongest is still our Third Tsuchikage!"
