257 Chapter 257: The Ninja World Trembled

The Ninja World Trembles!

At the inauguration ceremony of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, an event worthy of being recorded in the annals of ninja history occurred.

The one appointed as the Fifth Hokage was Tsunade of the Legendary Sannin, but the next scene was even more shocking.

The Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, appeared and, together with the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, boldly announced their allegiance to Uchiha Yoru.

God of Ninjas! This title was only previously held by the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, who ended the Warring States period.

But this time, the character 'God' on the Kage hat personally made by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, clearly expressed that a powerful ninja, a 'God of Ninjas,' had once again emerged in Konoha.

Tsunade of the Sannin awakened her Wood Release, and Uchiha Yoru unleashed the complete form of Susanoo.

There was also the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, who possessed both Lava Release and Boil Release, unexpectedly revealing a third Kekkei Genkai, 'Melt Release.'

The return of Orochimaru, the position of Jiraiya, and the appearance of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, both users of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

At this moment, the Ninja World trembled, and the number of Kage-level powerhouses revealed by Konoha was simply terrifying.

Uchiha Yoru, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Hatake Kakashi, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei - a total of nine Kage-level fearsome fighters.

Then it was reported that Kisame Hoshigaki received the great sword Samehada from the Fifth Mizukage, his power not inferior to the Kages of the major ninja villages, and the wielder of the Kubikiribōchō, Zabuza Momochi, although not a Kage, was also considered an elite jonin.

Especially with the inclusion of various powerful Kekkei Genkai clans and strong fighters from the Mist, Konoha's high-end combat power was directly supplemented, leaping to suppress the five great ninja villages in the Ninja World.

At the same time, with the merger with the Mist ninja, the already weakened Konoha's military strength suddenly became the pinnacle of the Ninja World, returning to its dominant position.

Konoha, with both Sharingan and Wood Release, almost seemed like it had returned to the early days of the ninja world, when the villages were first established, and the First Hokage and Uchiha united to suppress the Ninja World.

The Stone Village.

"Impossible!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, looking at the urgent report that was rushed back, turned pale with no hint of color in his face.

Especially upon seeing the photo sent back, the terrifying memories that had been sealed away for many years in front of the Konoha Hokage building resurfaced.

"Old man, what God of Ninjas, this Uchiha Yoru is clearly playing all of us in the Ninja World, it's been a conspiracy from the beginning."

The fearless Kurotsuchi spoke angrily, but at this moment, Ōnoki, her grandfather, didn't indulge her as usual, instead slamming the table in a burst of anger.

"Shut up!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, rarely got angry, especially towards his granddaughter Kurotsuchi, but this time, his roar scared all the ninjas in the Tsuchikage's office, not daring to breathe a word.

And at this moment, Ōnoki, radiating the aura of the Tsuchikage, no longer had the demeanor of an old man, but instead looked around at everyone with an unprecedented seriousness.

"By the order of the Third Tsuchikage, the Stone Village has always been for the peaceful development of the Ninja World, and immediately stops all actions against Konoha, now! Right now! Immediately!"

In the end, Ōnoki roared with all his might, his voice echoing in the Tsuchikage's office, his eyes filled with endless fear.

"Old man, you!"

Kurotsuchi was frightened by the scene before her, but her grandfather, Onoki, fell silent this time. It took him a while before he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"You don't understand the terror of this Mangekyo Ninjutsu, nor do you understand what Wood Release represents!"

As he said this, Onoki's face turned pale, he slumped weakly in his chair, his eyes empty and lifeless, muttering to himself.

"Why does heaven favor Konoha, allowing it to once again possess both the Mangekyo and Wood Release!"

After a while, Onoki, regaining some strength, showed a look of frustration on his face. Just when Konoha seemed doomed, suddenly so many Kage-level powerhouses emerged.

Looking at the intelligence analysis, Konoha's old, middle-aged, and young generations all had Kage-level powerhouses, and they kept emerging one after another.

With this unity, Onoki broke into a cold sweat, realizing a problem - the situation in Stone Village was not good.

His military strength had developed well under his leadership, with the number of ninjas reaching nearly thirty thousand, a peak in Stone Village's history.

But! He had no successors!

How old was he? And Konoha? Uchiha Yoru was only in his twenties, surrounded by a group of young ninjas.

More importantly, Konoha's middle-aged ninjas were still at their peak, and now the younger generation had also emerged.

"Wood Release! Susano!"

Just thinking of these two powers that once dominated the ninja world made Onoki's scalp tingle.

"Send messages to the Raikage and Kazekage! Konoha is no longer something we can contend with alone."

"Yes!"

Following the orders of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, Stone Village began to operate swiftly.

Meanwhile, Kurotsuchi, who had been frightened, slowly came to her senses. She cautiously looked at Onoki, whose face was pale, and asked in a low voice, "Old man, are Wood Release and Mangekyo really that terrifying?"

Looking at his granddaughter, whose face had turned pale from fear, Onoki felt a pang of guilt. Facing her question, he could only offer a bitter smile. In the office, almost all of the elite Jonin of Stone also looked puzzled.

They had not lived in that era and did not understand the terror of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, who once overwhelmed the ninja world.

"Alas, it's not that Wood Release and the Mangekyo are powerful, but the people who use them. Look at this intelligence and these photos."

This time, Onoki patiently explained to everyone, while the intelligence and photos were shown to all.

"The same Mangekyo has different levels. I don't know how Uchiha Yoru did it, but his Mangekyo, judging from this Susanoo, is no less powerful than Uchiha Madara's back in the day."

"Also, the terrifying range of this Wood Release Ninjutsu, which covered the whole of Konoha. More importantly, the inheritor of Wood Release is the granddaughter of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama."

"Tsunade can now take the surname Senju. Senju Tsunade and Uchiha Yoru are like the reincarnations of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. What's more terrifying is the combination of Senju and Uchiha!"

At this point, the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, was full of frustration. Initially, Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were at odds, and their internal strife provided a breathing space for the ninja world. But this time it's different.

A mountain cannot contain two tigers! But damn it, this time it's a male and a female.

"Look! Information from Konoha, the God of Ninja, Uchiha Yoru, will officially marry the Fifth Hokage and the Fifth Mizukage. What is this? This is clearly a symbol of ambition!"

"The alliance of Senju and Uchiha, which should have been restraining each other, is now combining! The grudges between Senju and Uchiha will thus disappear, along with the Fifth Mizukage."

"Damn, I was blind to recognize Terumi Mei as the Fifth Mizukage, now giving Uchiha Yoru a chance."

"The Fifth Hokage and the Fifth Mizukage joining Uchiha Yoru is not just an alliance of three, but a combination of three forces."

Ōnoki was frustrated and angry, now even lacking the opportunity to instigate. Originally, if Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were not both men, and there had been a woman, their union would have left no place for others in the ninja world.

But now, he was witnessing the scene he least wanted to see.

Earlier, he had given Terumi Mei's faction and Konoha time to get along harmoniously, but now there was no chance to cause discord.

According to intelligence from the last three months, the Mist and Leaf ninjas have already integrated. It's completely "you are in me, and I am in you."

"Damn, more importantly, is Uchiha Yoru's courage, which is the most terrifying. This kid is even more frightening than Uchiha Madara!"

Looking at the reports coming in, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki's face grew increasingly ugly.

"Uchiha Yoru actually has such courage, setting an example by issuing a decree that from him onwards, the surname of the children born will be determined by the awakened bloodline, and if there is no awakened bloodline, the surname can be chosen freely."

"Even! Even Uchiha Yoru's courage! In marrying the Fifth Mizukage and Hokage, he allowed both to continue with their original surnames!"

According to the rules of the ninja world, any woman who marries must follow her husband's surname, regardless of how powerful she is, and abandon her original surname unless she marries into her husband's family.

But Uchiha Yoru openly created a historic precedent, allowing Tsunade Senju and Terumi Mei to maintain their original surnames.

This is partly due to the prestige of their identities and their bloodline factors, but more importantly, it shows respect and wins people's hearts.

"Uchiha Madara was too overbearing in his actions. Uchiha Yoru not only inherited Uchiha Madara's power but also possessed a broader mind and strategy."

Terrifying!

Uchiha Yoru has set a standard for the ninja world.

Awakened Ice Release users take the surname Yuki, Sharingan users are Uchiha, Bone Pulse users are Kaguya, Byakugan users are Hyuga, etc. In cases like Terumi Mei with multiple bloodlines, it depends on the actual situation.

Uchiha Itachi fully recognizing Tsunade and Terumi Mei's original surnames is a mark of great respect, and he also boldly claimed that the surname of their children would be decided later.

He is truly a scheming hero for his grand ambitions, possessing Uchiha Madara's dominance but not lacking in tactics and smoothness.

…

Land of Lightning.

The Fourth Raikage, A, looked at the information in his hand, furiously roaring and smashing his desk to pieces.

"Damn it! A mere brat! How dare he call himself the God of Ninja, and even attempt to annex the Land of Water."

This time, Uchiha Yoru completely toyed with the entire ninja world. Normally, he should face the collective wrath of the ninja world, but it's clear that the power he unleashed has birthed more fear than anger.

Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, although they have become part of history, with few historical records in the ninja world, there is still preserved information about these powerful figures.

However, due to the lack of legends about the Mangekyo Sharingan and Wood Release for many years, these records have gathered dust. But this time, the entire ninja world's records about Uchiha Madara's Mangekyo Sharingan and Senju Hashirama are emerging once again.

"Lord Raikage, according to the records from the era of the First Raikage, the jutsu used by Tsunade of Konoha is called 'Wood Release Secret Technique: Advent of a World of Trees', and the giant creature summoned by Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyo Sharingan is called 'Susano'."

"Furthermore, according to detailed records, Uchiha Yoru's black Susanoo and Tsunade's range and intensity of Wood Release may not be as powerful as the original Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, but they are not far behind."

"Another important point, as previously recorded in the reports, the Tailed Beasts have almost no resistance against these two jutsu. Even the strongest, the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, are no exception."

In the Raikage's office, a group of elite Cloud ninjas have unearthed long-buried information, each showing a serious demeanor as they carefully report to their Raikage.

"What does this mean?"

Hearing this report, the Fourth Raikage A glared with angry eyes, while his deputy, after a long silence, uttered a fact he didn't want to admit.

"It means that if a war breaks out, our ultimate weapons in the Cloud Village, the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, might be restrained and even defeated."

Boom!

Hearing this report, the Raikage once again furiously threw his chair to pieces, roaring in anger.

"So, what about the support I gave to that brat Uchiha Yoru? Even the entire ninja world has provided so much support, and now you're telling me that Konoha has unified and even the Mist Village is going to be annexed?"

"All this is a conspiracy by the ambitious Uchiha Yoru, who has played the entire ninja world. Are we just supposed to swallow our pride and endure?"

Looking at the fourth Raikage A's furious roar, all the Cloud ninjas fell silent. Although the fourth Raikage A was known for his volatile temper, he was not stupid. His anger stemmed not just from being tricked, but also from the fact that Konoha had once again become the dominant force in the ninja world.

Having such immense power, Konoha had returned to a position where other villages had to join forces to challenge it; alone, they were no match.

This was the source of his greatest anger.

"Does the entire ninja world have to watch Uchiha Yoru incorporate the Mist Village, merging the Land of Water and the Land of Fire?"

The problem at hand was not just Uchiha Yoru, the so-called 'God of Ninja,' or the issue of him marrying both the Fifth Hokage and the Fifth Mizukage, but also the problems facing the Land of Water.

The fourth Mizukage, Yagura, still controlled most of the Land of Water, but the situation had become very dangerous.

Previously, to weaken the Mist Village, the ninja world had gleefully acknowledged the Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei's position, but this led to a situation where interfering with the Land of Water meant interfering with Konoha.

The Fifth Mizukage and the Fifth Hokage being married by Uchiha Yoru, and his announcement of taking control of both villages, meant a new, supreme position was established above the Kage.

The five Kage used to be the leaders of the major ninja villages, but things had changed! The emergence of the 'God of Ninja' clearly meant domination over the Kage, revealing Uchiha Yoru's ambition to not be satisfied with just two major villages.

The news of the 'God of Ninja' Uchiha Yoru marrying both the Fifth Hokage and the Fifth Mizukage swept through the ninja world.

He declared to the ninja world the merger of the Mist and Leaf, recognizing himself, above the Kage, as the supreme leader.

This news swept through the ninja world, causing shock and more fear.

The power that was revealed was too terrifying - Wood Release, Mangekyo Sharingan, and a host of formidable ninja from the two major villages.

Uchiha Yoru, who had angered many, should have faced the world's retribution, or at least verbal and written condemnation. But in the face of such terrifying power, the entire ninja world fell silent, plunging into a death-like stillness.
