Chapter 987 My Heart Has Long Been Set on Konoha
Chapter 987 My Heart Has Long Been Set on Konoha
At Konoha's home stadium, they were naturally the last to enter.
The door opened, and the first person to enter was the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Chiyo. Behind him were the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, and Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage.
Behind them are four renowned Mangekyou Sharingan masters: Fugaku Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Mayumi Uchiha, and Shisui Uchiha.
Kakashi and White Fang are still in the desert and haven't returned.
Even so, this lineup is already quite impressive.
There was a brief commotion at the scene. The strongest Susanoo of the Uchiha clan had already achieved a very brilliant record in the hands of Chiyo.
All the Uchiha who are coming in now are masters of the Mangekyou Sharingan, and they all know Susanoo.
This is the symbol of strength.
Qianyao took his seat in the main position and spoke calmly.
"Welcome everyone to my wedding despite your busy schedules."
"Of course, everyone's mind is definitely on today's meeting."
"Since everyone has arrived early, we'll start this meeting ahead of schedule."
Although Onoki was short, he had cast the Super Light Rock Technique on himself, so he was floating.
He wasn't planning to be the first to speak, but Yagura, who was sitting calmly in the audience, didn't seem inclined to speak, so he had no choice but to speak.
He said in a deep voice from his seat, "Fifth Hokage, just tell me the purpose of this meeting."
Qianyao looked around at everyone present and slowly began to speak:
"In the past four Shinobi World Wars, each war was accompanied by a large number of deaths and injuries."
“But once small countries are turned into battlefields, they will bring annihilation to these small countries.”
Almost everyone present turned their attention to Amegakure and Kusagakure.
Especially Amegakure, whose Land of Rain was once surrounded by three large countries and three small countries.
Bordering six countries, it was the most likely place to become a battlefield, and countless people died.
Whether it's Konoha, Iwagakure, or the former Sunagakure, their peace is built on the suffering of Amegakure.
This is what gave rise to the "Akatsuki," a movement yearning for peace.
Although Amegakure has been largely spared from devastation since Chiyo came to power.
However, the pain of the past has not been forgotten.
Qianyao used this as his opening, directly highlighting the cruelty of war.
“But…” he changed the subject.
"Ultimately, the reason is that our great powers are fighting each other."
Onoki frowned as he looked at Chiyo, as if he had anticipated what Chiyo was about to say.
Chiyo continued, "If our ninja world is unified, there will be no more wars, and all people will be able to enjoy hard-won peace!"
The entire meeting fell into complete silence; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Onoki asked in a deep voice, "Your Konoha wants to rule the world!?"
Chiyo spread his hands, perfectly embodying the arrogance of the Uchiha clan: "Even without Konoha..."
"It is perfectly reasonable for us Uchiha to rule the world."
"Is there anyone here who can rival me?"
Ōnoki looked at Yagura Karatachi and found that Yagura Karatachi was just crossing his arms and didn't seem inclined to say anything.
His heart sank as he asked, "Uchiha Chiyo, do you represent only the Uchiha clan, or Konoha?"
Chiyo, Minato, and Tsunade exchanged a glance, a hint of amusement in their eyes.
"As the clan that founded Konoha, and as the head of the Uchiha clan and the Fifth Hokage, my will naturally represents the will of Konoha."
"Is Konoha planning to challenge all other forces?" Onoki shouted, his tone becoming increasingly forceful.
Even if they were allies before, the topic Qianyao raised this time made it impossible for them to remain allies.
Qianyao held up one finger and shook it:
"Onoki, do you really think these small ninja villages dare to oppose Konoha?"
Chiyo's cold gaze swept over the small ninja villages.
"All forces present must send their credentials within ten days of my wedding."
"Otherwise, it will be considered a refusal to submit to Konoha."
"I will personally visit and eliminate all forces opposing Konoha!"
At this point, Qian Yao exuded a murderous aura.
The representatives from those small ninja villages trembled, their faces filled with fear.
At this moment, Xiao Nan spoke up:
"My Amegakure, representing the Land of Rain, hereby declares today that we surrender to Konoha and will collectively merge into Konoha, becoming a part of the Land of Fire."
Those present were not too surprised, after all, Amegakure had been on good terms with Konoha for years under the control of Akatsuki.
It was only with Amegakure that this precedent was set.
Other smaller ninja villages also spoke up:
"The Sound Village was founded by Lord Orochimaru and has always been as close as family with Konoha. Today, on behalf of the Land of Rice Fields, we hereby announce..."
"Takigakure will forever uphold Lord Senyou's will. On behalf of the Land of Takigakure, I hereby declare..."
These countries with ninja villages made their announcements first, and those countries without even ninjas quickly followed suit, announcing their annexation into Konoha and becoming part of the Land of Fire.
"Since ancient times, the Land of Rivers has suffered greatly from the exploitation of the Land of Winds. It is only thanks to the aid of the Land of Fires that it is where it is today. Now that the Land of Winds has been annexed by the Land of Fires, we, the Land of Rivers, hereby declare..."
"The Land of Hot Springs has always relied on the Land of Fire to supply us with many resources, which has enabled our hot spring resort to function smoothly. Konoha is so powerful, and the Land of Hot Springs longs for it. Today, the Land of Hot Springs announces..."
"The Land of Tea usually hires Konoha ninjas to protect our territory. Now that Konoha has issued an order, the Land of Tea should obey. We hereby announce..."
"The most important bridge in the Land of Waves was built with the help of the Fifth Hokage several years ago. The Fifth Hokage is our greatest benefactor. We will always support the Fifth Hokage, Lord Senyou. We hereby declare..."
Of course, there were also those who remained silent, such as the Grass Ninja, the Bird Country, the Bear Country, and the Iron Country.
In addition, there are the Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water and the Hidden Stone Village of the Land of Earth.
The two groups of Grass Ninja were staring at each other, since the actual control of Grass Ninja still rested with the Zodiac Elder.
However, Elder Zodiac dared not confront Mu Ye directly, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and wait and see what happened.
The Bird Country is mostly located within the Land of Earth, with a small portion being the original desert region. Their representatives are all looking at Onoki.
The representative from the Land of Bears looked hesitant, while Mifune from the Land of Iron closed his eyes to rest, seemingly deep in thought.
Qianyao was basically prepared for this scenario.
He smiled and looked at Onoki: "See, Tsuchikage, everyone here has long harbored feelings for Konoha."
"It is destiny that Konoha will unify the ninja world!"
Onoki looked at Yagura: "Mizukage, does your Land of Water also intend to surrender to Konoha unconditionally?"
Everyone present knew that Yagura Karatachi and the Uchiha clan were on good terms.
But this matter is not comparable to personal relationships.
