IW: Chapter 135 - Perfect Susanoo Shakes the Ninja World, Bai Ye's Grand Vision!
Two lottery chances made Bai Ye realize that all these people in front of him were like green leeks waiting to be harvested by him.
Being stared at by Bai Ye like that, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared.
Could it be that he was going to kill them all too?
"Didn't he say he wouldn't kill them all?"
Shikaku looked at Bai Ye, muttering in his heart.
Before coming, Shikaku had asked Bai Ye if he would kill all of them if the enemy surrendered, and the answer he got was that he wouldn't kill them all.
Now, with that look in his eyes, had he changed his mind?
"These are all my lottery chances!"
Killing them would grant one lottery chance, but not killing them could lead to many more chances later. After all, if everyone was killed, who would provide him with Boruto-esque missions?
He didn't want to run out of leeks later; the essence of harvesting leeks wasn't to cut them all at once, but to cut them in batches, allowing them time to grow.
He silently chanted, "Use lottery."
"Ding! Using two lottery chances, congratulations on obtaining: Sage Chakra, Sage Talisman."
Oh, this?!
Sage Talisman?
As for Sage Chakra, he had just chosen Shikkotsu Forest, and now another one appeared. This time, he could choose again. Bai Ye directly chose Ryūchi Cave's Sage Art. After all, he might still be able to practice Mount Myōboku's, but he couldn't practice Ryūchi Cave's without Orochimaru, unless he went to find Ryūchi Cave's location himself.
Moreover, from the performance of Sage Art in Boruto, Ryūchi Cave's Sage Art was indeed incredibly strong.
Since he could draw it now, he could still draw Mount Myōboku's later, collecting the Sage Arts of the Three Great Holy Lands. This feeling was like the joy of stamp collecting.
However, the Sage Talisman was different. This item was Mount Myōboku's supreme treasure, capable of instantly reviving someone on the verge of death.
This thing, unlike an ability, was truly useful when he was genuinely close to death.
It was a bit of a pity that he couldn't draw the Rinnegan this time, but these guys were still here, so Bai Ye still had many lottery chances.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye felt a surge of excitement.
His Rinnegan, Tenseigan, and Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan seemed not far off.
"Old man, have you recovered?"
The Raikage couldn't sit still. If he didn't act now, his team would truly fall apart.
The young man was full of vigor, but the other party was his enemy. As an enemy, he was in great Pain.
He couldn't just declare the war lost at this point, could he?
He, the Raikage, would be nailed to the pillar of shame.
"I have. What's the hurry? Are you just going to charge in like that?"
Ōnoki looked at the Raikage, saying with some exasperation.
A hothead is a hothead. At this point, was he still thinking of just charging in?
"Otherwise?"
"Break the Jinchuriki's seal first, otherwise, holy crap!!"
Ōnoki's eyes widened as he looked at the Perfect Susanoo in front of him.
What kind of joke was this?
How were they supposed to fight?
"From now until your surrender, however many people die will be on your heads, Ōnoki, don't say I didn't give you a chance!"
Saying that, Bai Ye's Susanoo unleashed a slash, the Susanoo Slash!
Even a mountain several hundred meters away was cut in half by Bai Ye's single slash, and a large number of Ninja in front died.
Ōnoki stared at Bai Ye, who was standing on top of Susanoo's head, his eyes crimson.
That's right!
It was that exact same look, just like before, that expression of looking down on everything and everyone, not putting anyone in his eyes.
Another slash fell!
Ōnoki and the Raikage wanted to get up and block it.
Dust Release + Ninja Body Art!
The two used their strongest techniques, but they didn't have much of an advantage against the Perfect Susanoo.
If the Raikage hadn't grabbed Ōnoki and run when they saw the situation was bad, that one slash would have been enough to take their lives.
What kind of power was this!
"Why does it feel even stronger than Uchiha Madara's!!!"
Ōnoki was speechless at this moment.
He had seen Uchiha Madara's Susanoo before, but he had never seen a Perfect Susanoo. This was too exaggerated, wasn't it?
Had he truly reached, or even surpassed, Uchiha Madara?
The Allied Shinobi Forces were all astonished by Bai Ye's Perfect Susanoo!
"The power of the Uchiha is simply too wonderful!!!!"
Orochimaru's eyes flashed with fanaticism. At this moment, he wished he could just take Bai Ye's body.
Uchiha and Senju were indeed the closest to gods!
The direction of his research was absolutely correct!
Orochimaru had always been researching the power of the Uchiha and Senju. He found that the Uchiha and Senju had always seemed to be among the strongest in the Ninja World. Where did these Kekkei Genkai come from?
He wanted to know the whole truth!
And this man in front of him was definitely the closest to the truth, but if he chose to approach him now, the other party's attitude didn't seem very clear!
But Orochimaru, who was eager to know everything, was also stirring with anticipation.
At the same time, he thought of those concentric eyes. This seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
Think about what Pain would do...
"Crazy! This is simply crazy! Perfect Susanoo!! Damn it, Madara, if you don't revive, this Ninja World is truly doomed!"
Black Zetsu's heart pounded. At this moment, he also realized that the plan absolutely could not be delayed any longer.
And Madara had to be revived, otherwise, no one in this Ninja World would be Bai Ye's opponent.
This was the ultimate power of the Uchiha Clan!
It had reached its limit, unless it was combined with the power of the Senju. He wasn't afraid before because Bai Ye didn't have it, but now Bai Ye clearly had it.
But this generation's reincarnations of Ashura and Indra were not him!
Why did things turn out this way?
Black Zetsu fell into deep powerlessness.
"So strong... Is this Hokage-sama's true strength?"
The KonohaNinja behind them also reacted at this moment. No wonder Bai Ye said earlier that the advantage was theirs in a two-on-three.
This damn it, even in a one-on-four, the advantage was still theirs!
Once, they thought the Kage, who were high and mighty and arrogant, were as fragile as little chicks in front of Bai Ye.
The might of that Perfect Susanoo shocked the entire Ninja World!
Once again, it made everyone understand why the Uchiha Clan was called the strongest clan!
"A combination of Madara and Hashirama, this guy's strength is probably in a league of its own in the Ninja World. He must be the Child of Prophecy!"
Jiraiya secretly clicked his tongue. He felt that this matter was truly interesting.
He was told that his disciple would change the Ninja World and become the legendary Child of Prophecy, right?
No one told him it would be like this!
Jiraiya guaranteed that he absolutely could not teach such a disciple!
And could anyone truly defeat Bai Ye?
He should be the one who could change the world and lead it towards transformation, right?
"Konoha will become the only NinjaVillage in the Ninja World!"
Everyone had a consensus in their minds: who else in this world could stop Konoha?
Who could kill him?
In the next few exchanges, Bai Ye steadily suppressed the Raikage and Ōnoki, and each time, some of the Allied Shinobi Forces were caught in Bai Ye's attacks and eliminated.
Ōnoki and the Raikage also saw how great the difference between them was. Continuing to fight would only increase meaningless casualties.
They lost!
Even if the Raikage was unwilling to admit it, he still understood that this time, they had completely and utterly failed!
Continuing to fight would still result in failure in the end!
"Bai Ye, your goal is to unify the entire Ninja World. Do you really think that by killing, you can make everyone obey you!!?"
Ōnoki gritted his teeth. The continuous failures made Ōnoki understand how great the difference between them was, and it had made him lose the will to continue fighting.
He had used Dust Release, but it couldn't hit the opponent at all. That Susanoo was darting around the entire battlefield using Flying Thunder God, and his Dust Release disappeared as soon as he aimed at Bai Ye.
But with that large-scale Susanoo Slash, if the Raikage's speed hadn't been fast enough, coupled with his Light-Weight Rock Technique enhancement, the two of them might have been taken out by one slash.
But even so, Ōnoki clearly knew that Bai Ye actually had a chance to kill them with one slash, but he never made a move. Thinking carefully, combined with what Bai Ye had said before, what he wanted was to absorb them into this system, the new Ninja system that Bai Ye was building.
This also made Ōnoki's mind much more active; if that was the case, he could also make demands.
At the very least, he could temporarily slow things down.
"Ōnoki, no one dares to make a move while I'm alive!"
As long as he was alive, he would suppress everything.
No one dared to refute this statement from Bai Ye, because he had indeed done so, and now no one could stop Bai Ye. In their eyes, the current Bai Ye was a combination of the Ninja God and the Ninja World's Shura!
As for how long he could live, they would die three times over, and he still wouldn't die.
Moreover, the so-called hatred was just nonsense. Didn't the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan fight to the death during the Sengoku period, and in the end, didn't they shake hands and make peace?
And it wasn't just the Uchiha and Senju; many other clans were enemies during the Sengoku period, but in the end, didn't they all join a single Village?
Ultimately, the idea that hatred would spread was nonsense. As long as they joined a Village, people might indeed be hostile at first, but with the passage of time and deliberate guidance, those who couldn't let go of their hatred would eventually be dealt with.
"How about we surrender?"
"We can't win, we simply can't."
"Konoha sent out only one person and utterly routed us. Even if we escape this time, what about the future? Are we going to run for the rest of our lives?"
Bai Ye's Complete Susanoo had completely shattered everyone's confidence.
At this moment, they all clearly understood that they simply couldn't win. The opponent had come with the determination to unify the Ninja World, and it was impossible for them to just run back to their Village as before and be safe.
At this moment, many Ninja no longer wanted to fight.
"If you have the guts, face me in a taijutsu duel! If you win against me in taijutsu, our Kumogakure will surrender!"
Ai gritted his teeth, staring intently at Bai Ye. He was reckless, but he also possessed a bit of wisdom.
He knew he couldn't defeat Bai Ye, but with taijutsu, he had a chance to win. If Bai Ye won, he would surrender!
After all, if he lost in taijutsu, everything he prided himself on would have been defeated by Bai Ye, so what else could he say?
"Good."
Bai Ye's clean and decisive release of Susanoo actually filled Ai with a trace of awe and admiration for Bai Ye.
He stretched his wrists. He didn't use ninjutsu. Since it was taijutsu, then it would be taijutsu!
"A contest of pure strength?"
Ōnoki's eyes flickered, and he calculated in his mind whether he should launch a sneak attack later, but he eventually gave up on the idea.
He might be cunning, but making a move at this moment would indeed be inappropriate.
They watched as the two men's fists collided, and then the two performed a dance of pure taijutsu in front of everyone. It was a one-sided affair, with Ai repeatedly being sent flying and then slammed down by Bai Ye.
In taijutsu, Ai was completely defeated.
"I've really disgraced myself."
Ai took a punch to the face, flying back dozens of meters. The injuries on his body from Bai Ye's previous beating still throbbed faintly. At this moment, he even regretted challenging Bai Ye to taijutsu.
If he hadn't competed, he could have said that Bai Ye's victory was unfair, relying on Kekkei Genkai. Now, it was clear that Bai Ye could easily defeat him even with just taijutsu.
"Among those who have fought me in taijutsu, no one is better than you. I, Ai, declare you the strongest!"
"..."
Are you allowed to say such boastful words?
Bai Ye felt a strange sensation in his heart. Did you think you were Uchiha Madara?
"Ōnoki, what about you?"
He ignored Ai, which left Ai feeling quite awkward, but he couldn't act out. He had been completely crushed in everything; how could he still have the face to say anything to Bai Ye?
"I want to know, if Iwagakure surrenders, how will you arrange for us?"
Ai was done playing. If he didn't surrender now, he would probably be completely finished.
He no longer wanted to see the giant Susanoo.
If you can't beat them, join them. If I can't defeat you, Uchiha, can't I be your teammate?
However, he wasn't surrendering alone but bringing the entire Village.
His question concerned not only Iwagakure but also Kumogakure.
"As before, everyone will move to the Land of Fire and establish a super-large Village. The Village will be jointly governed by one leader and five decision-makers. Subsequently, each of the five Villages can elect one decision-maker, and the leader will be chosen by everyone!"
Then Bai Ye also explained some rules to them. If four people agreed to something that the leader could refuse, then excluding Konoha's one decision-maker, their four NinjaVillages still had a say.
As for whether a leader still needed to be elected?
Everyone couldn't help but inwardly grumble, "It's already decided, isn't it?"
And they could live in Konoha, in the fertile land of the Land of Fire—who wouldn't want to go there?
Hadn't they launched so many wars just to seize the resources of the Land of Fire?
Yet he was telling them that as long as everyone surrendered, they could move there. So what had they been fighting for all this time? Wouldn't it have been simpler to just surrender?
"Then what about us?"
"All joining Ninja will be treated the same as KonohaNinja. Everyone will be equal from now on. I want to create a fair world without oppression, where everyone can enjoy resources, and from now on, there will be no more wars!
We will all have a beautiful world, with the people we love by our side, no longer needing to experience cruel wars, no longer encountering Ninja from other Villages on missions, and no longer being exploited by the Daimyo. We will all have wonderful lives!"
The blueprint depicted by Bai Ye indeed made many Ninja yearn for it.
Although they had been trained as tools of slaughter since childhood.
Yet they also knew that if they could live a peaceful life, who would be willing to plunder?
"This guy..."
Ai turned to look at the Ninja on his side. From the previous fear, some Ninja had already lost the will to fight.
And now, the future depicted by Bai Ye, even Ai yearned for it.
Why had he done so many things over the years? Wasn't it just to lead the people of Kumogakure to a good life?
Now Bai Ye could achieve it...
"If your intention is to gather all the people from the five NinjaVillages and other small NinjaVillages in the Land of Fire, then with the current Konoha, that shouldn't be possible, right?"
"Building a super-large city will suffice. Also... these are matters to discuss after the surrender: surrender or..."
Bai Ye had already planned it: Konoha in the very center, the other four NinjaVillages in the four cardinal directions, and then expanding from there.
And now, they faced two choices: surrender or death.
Although Bai Ye wanted to harvest them and didn't want to cut them all down at once, if they disagreed, he certainly wouldn't show mercy.
"We can surrender, but the details need to be discussed later. Also, I want you to return Kurotsuchi to me first."
Ōnoki sighed, finally agreeing to Bai Ye's request.
There was no other way.
He simply couldn't win. Resisting further would truly be a sign of mental instability.
But before that, he needed Bai Ye to return his granddaughter to him.
"Very well, everything after the peace talks are concluded."
Listening to Bai Ye's words, Ōnoki could only nod helplessly, while Kurotsuchi felt a surge of displeasure. She had actually become one of the conditions for the peace talks—this was a humiliation!
Looking at Bai Ye through the crowd, Kurotsuchi felt a little deflated. She simply couldn't defeat Bai Ye, let alone vent today's humiliation.
"Then the war is over, everyone!"
As Bai Ye's words fell, the tense nerves of all the Ninja present instantly relaxed.
The war was over...
"It looks like the Ninja World is really going to be unified by him!"
Black Zetsu frowned, watching from a distance. Obito, beside him, no longer wanted to stay there: "Go back to the Akatsuki Organization and tell Nagato about this. He must act!"
If he didn't act soon, the Ninja World would truly belong to the Uchiha. But he was a Uchiha, so why didn't he feel happy?
