Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Last Words
Tsunade wasn't sure if Ryujiro could truly accomplish what he was proposing.
Even a powerful ninja like her grandfather, the First Hokage, hadn't unified the ninja world, although Hashirama had never harbored such ambitions.
However, unifying the shinobi world would required more than just sheer strength.
There were many subsequent tasks to complete, including maintaining law and order, which was a significant challenge.
Seeing the smile on Ryujiro's face, Tsunade couldn't help but sigh, a wry smile forming on her lips.
"Only you could say something like that."
"The previous Hokages wouldn't even dare to think about it."
Ryujiro looked at Tsunade and said calmly, "It's not that they didn't dare; they just never considered it."
"Everyone has become accustomed to the current state of the shinobi world, which seems stable but experiences some wars every few years."
"To completely end the wars in the world, unification is the only way."
Indeed.
Each village's peace was hard-won, and such peace might last for decades or even longer after a war.
But the world had never known permanent peace, with wars breaking out approximately every fifty years.
Additionally, small-scale conflicts continued on the borders of the major nations.
While the village appeared peaceful, the number of ninja casualties outside was not insignificant.
"You should be the one to take the position of Hokage," Tsunade said, looking at Ryujiro with irritation.
"No, I don't want it."
"After experiencing the hardships of being Hokage, you still want to trick me into it?"
"You must be dreaming, old lady."
After speaking, Ryujiro's figure disappeared from the office.
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily.
"Ryujiro, you brat!"
This wasn't the first time Ryujiro had called her an old lady.
Although Tsunade's age was indeed no longer young, her appearance hadn't changed much over the years.
Considering her youthful looks, wouldn't calling her a big sister be more appropriate?
This brat was a double-edged sword for Konoha.
If Danzo's Root organization still existed, Tsunade would be worried about some trouble.
Meanwhile, in the Root base, Danzo stood with his back to a figure, his voice hoarse as he spoke.
"So, you have come."
Danzo turned around, his face looking haggard, staring at Ryujiro with a complex expression.
"Kotoamatsukami didn't work on you from the beginning, did it?"
Ryujiro nodded.
"Uchiha Shisui's eye, the strongest Genjutsu of the Sharingan."
"How does it feel to fail?" Ryujiro asked with a mocking smile.
Normally, Danzo would have been infuriated by Ryujiro's words, but now he didn't seem angry, almost showing a self-mocking smile.
"I was too naive."
"I thought I had everything under control, but I had no way to deal with you."
"It seems you knew about my connection with the Akatsuki from the beginning."
"Of course," Ryujiro said calmly.
"Danzo, any last words?"
Danzo's cloudy eyes showed no hope, but for a brief moment, he looked sharply at Ryujiro.
In that instant, he reverted to being the dark shadow of Konoha, the ruthless and cunning hero he once was.
"Will you bring hope and prosperity to Konoha?"
Danzo had always acted in Konoha's interest, but his fatal flaw was arrogance.
He believed no one else could change the current state of Konoha, so he coveted the position of Hokage, perhaps also due to his obsession with power.
Ryujiro's fingers touched Danzo's chest, and he spoke slowly.
"Hope and prosperity doesn't matter. As long as I'm here, Konoha will always stand tall."
Danzo's tense face finally relaxed.
With you here, I can be at ease.
Hiruzen, my old friend, I'm coming to join you.
Hado #4: Byakurai!
In an instant, the lightning from Ryujiro's fingertips burst into a brilliant light, piercing through Danzo's chest.
Danzo felt his life slipping away as he collapsed to the ground.
A ninjutsu without hand seals?
No.
This power was different from ninjutsu.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Konoha will become under your leadership.
Danzo slowly closed his eyes, his body temperature rapidly dropping, and within moments, he became a cold corpse.
Ryujiro unceremoniously took Danzo's soul.
At that moment, a bone bracelet resembling a Hollow mask appeared on Ryujiro's arm.
This wasn't an object but a transformation of Ryujiro's own body.
As Ryujiro evolved, his body would change accordingly.
However, what worried him was whether he would become like Aizen, no longer human.
That would truly shatter Ryujiro's mindset.
That form was very ugly.
If that happens, he would no longer be a human. Hopefully, his worries wouldn't come true.
...
At this moment, in the Land of Lightning, the Four Kage Summit had reached its final stage.
The four Kage planned to wage war against Konoha, with their unanimous goal being to eliminate Konoha.
A's move wasn't just about revenge against Konoha; it was also a great opportunity to wage war against Konoha.
Even if battles broke out with other ninja villages after the war, A had no worries.
In his view, the other ninja villages were nothing compared to their Kumogakure.
Onoki was already old, and despite having Dust Release, he couldn't sustain prolonged battles.
As for the Mizukage and Kazekage, A didn't think much of their strength.
It was time to dethrone Konoha as the strongest ninja village.
However, shortly after the summit, a major incident erupted in Kumogakure.
An unknown figure wielding a black blade engaged in a battle with the Cloud ninjas.
The Cloud ninjas were no match for this mysterious person, and even their Jonins suffered severe injuries.
Especially the opponent's swordsmanship, which had reached a terrifying level.
Upon hearing this, A led his forces to confront this individual.
However, by the time A arrived, the person had already disappeared.
The ninja monitoring the situation were also taken down by Mihawk.
This incident angered A so much that he couldn't eat for an entire day.
The swordsmanship displayed by that person was beyond the capabilities of even a Jonin and with those flying slashes no one could stop him.
This technique…
Isn't it the same as that brat from Konoha...
Could it be...
A's face twisted with rage, as he slammed the table.
The recently replaced table was once again destroyed by A's immense strength.
Mabui, standing nearby, couldn't bear to look and covered her face.
"Raikage-sama, this is the third table..."
