After finishing his meal, Jiryoku wiped his mouth with a towel and turned towards one of the soldiers standing in the hall. He instructed, "Go and ring the bell to gather all the soldiers under your general."

The soldier hesitated upon hearing Jiryoku's words. Jiryoku simply waved his hand towards the soldier, and the soldier's body was sliced in half. Then, Jiryoku turned towards the remaining soldier, who became immediately frightened. "Will you ring the bell? Or…" Jiryoku asked.

"Yes, I will immediately go and ring the bell," the soldier responded fearfully, before quickly running away.

Jiryoku then turned towards the General and remarked pointing towards the members sitting on the table, "They are your supporters, aren't they?" The General remained silent in response to Jiryoku's question, which led Jiryoku to declare, "Your silence is evidence enough that they are indeed your supporters."

"Fifteen times gravity," Jiryoku stated. Instantly, everyone seated on the chairs was subjected to a gravitational force fifteen times stronger than normal. The chairs immediately broke, causing their bodies to plummet to the ground. The intensified gravity resulted in various body parts fracturing and severe internal injuries. Their blood pressure skyrocketed, causing blood to flow from their eyes, ears, and mouths.

The general was horrified witnessing this spectacle. As a seasoned general, he had witnessed many bloody scenes, but he never expected someone to sit in front of him and ruthlessly kill his own subordinates, especially considering that more than half of them were skilled Jonins.

"You bastard!" the General shouted in anger, attempting to stand up but finding himself unable to do so due to the overwhelming force of gravity.

Jiryoku paid no heed to the general's rage and calmly remarked, "Now that your supporters are dead." At that moment, a loud siren echoed through the surroundings. "It seems your soldiers are also gathering. Shall we go and meet them?" Jiryoku suggested.

With that, Jiryoku began moving outside the mansion dragging the general behind him, heading towards a large ground roughly the size of two football fields.

Within half an hour, all the soldiers had assembled in that field, and they were shocked to see their General standing behind a young man.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Jiryoku, and I have been sent by the Jokan of the Fire Country in response to a heartfelt request from your esteemed Daimyo. I stand before you today to address the simmering rebellion orchestrated by your own general, a threat that must be swiftly quelled."

"It brings me great joy to share the news that your general, a symbol of discord, has been successfully apprehended by my unwavering efforts. Rest assured, with his capture, the flames of rebellion will be extinguished," Jiryoku eloquently proclaimed.

As his authoritative voice resonated, the gravitational force imposed upon the General intensified abruptly, leaving him no choice but to kneel before the overwhelming power.

Upon witnessing this scene, a contingent of soldiers positioned at the forefront were gripped with an instinctive urge to take action. Eagerly, they advanced toward the elevated platform where the general had stood, closing the distance to a mere 10 meters.

However, in a display of unparalleled mastery, Jiryoku raised his hand gracefully, invoking the force of Gravity Push.

In an instant, the hapless soldiers who dared to approach were propelled backwards with great momentum, propelled even further away from their initial positions, ultimately colliding with their comrades who stood resolute in the rear ranks.

"I am aware that many of you were coerced into betrayal, driven by the fear of death should you refuse to submit to the general's authority. The consequences of defiance were dire, with the specter of death looming over any dissenters. However, now I offer you a chance at redemption. Those among you who were unwilling participants in this treachery, step aside from the army," Jiryoku declared.

As his words hung in the air, moments stretched into minutes, with no immediate response. But then, a solitary soldier broke ranks, stepping forward and mustering the courage to speak, "I have always remained steadfast in my loyalty to the Daimyo. I never desired to betray, but this monstrous individual possessed intimate knowledge of our families. Those who dared to oppose him or refused to comply suffered not only their own demise but also the ruthless decimation of their loved ones. While we may be prepared to sacrifice our lives, we cannot bear witness to the slaughter of our families."

With these heartfelt words, he separated himself from the line. Soon after, others followed suit, echoing the sentiments, "Me too," "Me too." And thus, nearly half of the army, comprised of those who had been unwilling pawns, took their stand apart from the loyalists who remained faithful solely to the General.

"It seems that you have quite a substantial number of loyal soldiers under your command," Jiryoku remarked, shifting his face towards the general.

"Although I despise resorting to such measures, your Daimyo has explicitly requested the execution of every soldier who remains fiercely loyal to you, right before your very eyes. Following that, I am tasked with delivering you alive to the Daimyo," Jiryoku stated calmly, as if discussing mundane topics like food and drink.
