Looks like Jiraiya it's tired of living.
Kyomu's eyes suddenly turned cold; this guy was blocking his path for the second time!
With a twist of his wrist, the Yoei drew a line straight towards Jiraiya's throat, clearly intending to kill.
Thud.
A dull sound, neither metallic nor iron-like, resounded, as if the blade had struck cotton and was blocked by it.
Kyomu glanced around with the corner of his eye but saw no one intervening.
Gamabunta was engaged in a fierce battle with the White Snake Sage, Minato was holding Kushina in his arms, both pouring out their hearts to each other. Ichikishimahime stood motionless, seemingly on guard for something.
In an instant, Kyomu sheathed his sword and immediately swung it again for a second strike.
Thud.
The second strike was also blocked by an invisible, soft force just as it was about to hit Jiraiya.
Frowning, Kyomu looked at Jiraiya seriously, sensing something unusual about his state.
The vanished sage markings reappeared on Jiraiya's face, and compared to before, the mutations on his face were gone. The Sage Mode had nearly reached perfection.
A breakthrough in battle?
Kyomu didn't believe it unless Jiraiya had some cheat like him. But clearly, that was impossible. The only explanation was that someone was intervening.
The only person who could intervene silently was Hagoromo.
"Finally, you can't hold back anymore?"
Kyomu muttered to himself, sidestepping Jiraiya's attack. Just as he was about to swing his sword for the third time, Jiraiya suddenly changed his target.
Kyomu stopped abruptly, feeling an invisible pressure. In terms of momentum and other aspects, he was being completely overpowered.
Watching Jiraiya run off into the distance, Kyomu calmly sheathed his sword.
Thud.
The sound of the sword hilt hitting the scabbard was accompanied by the sound of a puff of smoke, as Gamabunta used the reverse summoning technique to return to Mount Myoboku.
Heh!
Kyomu coldly curled his lips, "This is getting interesting, Hagoromo."
Mentally noting down Hagoromo, Kyomu turned to look at Minato and Kushina, "The agreement is complete, I must leave now."
"Kyomu." Minato looked up, "My second request is for you to return to Konoha."
"Hah." Kyomu shook his head with a smile, "Minato, I said I would do what I can, but this is beyond my control and capabilities. I have to be responsible for the Land of Dragons and Ryugakure.
So, I'm sorry.
And you should be more concerned about your child with Kushina."
As he finished speaking, Kushina immediately became anxious and quickly turned to look behind her.
"Jiraiya-sensei..."
Minato also became nervous, a flash of anger and hatred in his eyes.
What exactly is Jiraiya planning!
But Kyomu didn't want to deal with it. He had to go back and prepare to officially take over the Land of Fire; he was very busy.
Taking a step forward, Kyomu waved his hand in farewell, reminding them, "It's better to save the villagers of Konoha first and inform the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. He might need your protection more."
With a grin, Kyomu began to soar into the sky, rising hundreds of meters in an instant, swallowed by a vortex of spatial fluctuations.
In the Kamui dimension, Kyomu glanced at Sasuke in Rin's arms.
"How's the seal?"
"Very successful and perfect!" Rin Nohara immediately replied, "Without the Nine-Tails' soul, the yang attribute of the Nine-Tails in Sasuke's body is just an empty shell. The massive amount of Tailed Beast Chakra won't affect Sasuke's body and mind.
When Sasuke grows older, this massive amount of Tailed Beast Chakra will be entirely his!"
"Very good." Kyomu grinned, "Let's return to the village and share this good news with Fugaku and his wife. They should be more excited than us."
To be honest, despite some ups and downs, the outcome was almost exactly as Kyomu had planned, making him feel quite calm.
Turning his head, Kyomu looked at Yugito and Mei, "After returning to the village, immediately spread some information about the Akatsuki organization and the destruction of Konoha. Spread the news that Konoha was 100% destroyed and 90% of the people were lost.
I estimate that none of the spies placed by other nations in Konoha survived.
By the way, is Ren okay?"
Yugito immediately responded, as she was in charge of communication with Ren.
"Ren left the village a few days ago on a mission, very legitimately."
Kyomu nodded, then looked at Mei, "Any news from White Zetsu?"
"Not yet, probably after we return to the village, White Zetsu will show up."
"Hah, I doubt he dares to show up." Kyomu sneered, "That guy cherishes his life. After being fooled by me last time, he won't face me again."
Mei smiled slightly, knowing about the time when Kyomu sealed Black Zetsu and dismembered half of White Zetsu with swift means.
To be honest, if she were White Zetsu and Black Zetsu, she couldn't imagine Kyomu's actions.
...
In the Ryugakure office.
A spatial fluctuation appeared, and Kyomu stepped out, followed by Rin, Mei, Yugito, and finally Obito.
Wiping the tears of blood from his eyes, Obito took out eye drops from his ninja tool pouch and tilted his head to apply a few drops.
Seeing this, Kyomu couldn't help but punch Obito, "Why are you still like a kid?"
"My eyes are almost blind, can't I use some methods for maintenance?" Obito retorted, pointing at his Mangekyou Sharingan, "It's already 700 degrees!"
"Just endure a little longer, Chief Tsunade's research is almost yielding results." Kyomu comforted.
"I know." Obito slouched on the reception sofa, looking very casual and lazy, "I'll rest for a while, call me if there's anything."
Kyomu nodded, walked around the desk, and sat back in his chair.
"Kyomu, I'll take Sasuke to the Uchiha residence." Rin said.
Kyomu nodded, but before he could respond, Rin stepped forward and grabbed Obito's ear, "Stop lying down, take me to the Uchiha residence."
Obito immediately became spirited, jumping up from the sofa, waving goodbye to Kyomu, and hurriedly following Rin Nohara out of the office.
"They have a great relationship." Yugito said with envy in her eyes.
"Indeed, Obito is definitely the king of simps." Kyomu mocked, "He has a very good ending."
"What is a simp?" Mei Terumi asked.
"Well, you'll understand if you raise a dog." (LOL)
"I don't like dogs." Mei shook her head, glancing at Yugito, "I don't like cats either."
Yugito was about to retort, but Kyomu quickly intervened, telling them to take their quarrel outside, as he didn't have time for it.
"Go and get busy, tomorrow will be interesting."
Yugito glared at Mei Terumi, who was also unwilling to back down, and the two women left the office, immediately starting to bicker.
Of course, it wasn't a fight; the two women were just arguing, revealing each other's shortcomings and mocking each other.
But this had nothing to do with Kyomu as long as it didn't affect him.
Picking up a pen from the desk, Kyomu leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs on the desk, looking very satisfied.
"Daimyo of the Land of Fire, what will you do next?" His right hand skillfully twirled the pen, "Konoha is nothing but a name now."
—
In the capital of the Land of Fire, the Daimyo's mansion.
Suddenly, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire jumped up from his bed, scaring the beautiful woman beside him.
Ignoring her, the Daimyo quickly dressed, not even fastening his belt or putting on shoes, and opened the door barefoot.
Grabbing the messenger by the collar with a ferocious expression, he demanded, "What did you say? Say it again!"
"Konoha was destroyed by the Akatsuki organization. Besides the ninjas on missions, almost everyone in the village is dead."
Thump, thump, thump.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire's pupils contracted, blood surged up, making him dizzy. He staggered back several steps, barely maintaining his balance by holding onto the door frame.
"No, it's impossible. The Land of Fire is the strongest nation in the ninja world, and Konoha is the strongest hidden village. How could this... how could this happen..."
"Daimyo, please pull yourself together!" The official reporting the situation shouted, "The situation is urgent, you cannot collapse now!"
"Right, right! I cannot collapse, I cannot!" Struggling to stand, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire wobbled, "Summon the Fourth Hokage, Minato, to see me! And gather all remaining Konoha ninjas to defend the capital. I will pay them, a lot of money!"
"Daimyo, the surviving Konoha ninjas probably can't come right away." The official shook his head, "Their main concern now is whether they can rescue more people from Konoha."
"What if the four great nations take this opportunity to attack us?"
"Heh, I don't know, but our leader asked me to deliver a message." White Zetsu's spore clone suddenly appeared beside him.
The sudden appearance of the white humanoid creature almost scared the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to death.
Konoha had just suffered a disaster, and now someone was here to assassinate him?
"Protect me, protect me!" The official shouted.
Several ninjas instantly appeared, surrounding the Daimyo and protecting him, while one grabbed White Zetsu's spore clone by the neck and pulled him out of the ground.
Just like pulling up a radish.
But White Zetsu's spore clone was not panicked, even more, cheerful, and began to speak.
"Kill me, if you kill me, it will be fun. Our leader, Nagato, will destroy the capital of the Land of Fire just like he destroyed Konoha."
The ninja holding White Zetsu's neck looked at the Daimyo, silently asking what to do.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire regained his composure from his panic, "What does the leader of the Akatsuki organization want?"
"The same as before, 10 billion ryo as ransom money to buy your life." White Zetsu turned to the official, "You too, 1 billion ryo each. If there's even a penny less, our leader will come and take it himself.
At that time, all of you will die!"
"I'll kill you first!" The ninja holding White Zetsu's neck was furious. They had captured him, yet he was still so arrogant.
"You want to kill me, but your master disagrees." White Zetsu's spore clone was not afraid, "Besides, I let you kill me, will you dare? Do you think you're Kyomu?"
Kyomu?
"Yes, Kyomu! Kyomu was once also from the Land of Fire..."
"You also said 'once,' Daimyo!" White Zetsu's spore clone spread his hands, "Please, use the Land of Fire's orders to command the Ryukage of the Land of Dragons?"
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire staggered again. What should he do now, what could he do?
Konoha was destroyed in one blow, and there were very few surviving Konoha ninjas. The culprit now demanded a large sum of money.
But even if he paid to avoid disaster, what about the future?
The Land of Fire would be targeted by the four great nations like wolves seeing meat, tearing it apart.
"Daimyo!" Another official came running, "This is from the Fourth Hokage."
"What is it? Let me see."
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire quickly took the item, opening it to reveal two broken kunai.
"This is... the promise Kyomu left when he left?" The Daimyo's hope reignited, "Quick, someone!"
"Daimyo, you mustn't!" Asuma intervened, "If you do this, Kyomu will have a reason to intervene in our affairs. This is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst."
Thud.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire kicked Asuma in the stomach, "I know it's drinking poison to quench thirst, but if I don't do it, I'll die even faster!"
"Move aside!" With a roar, the Daimyo left, surrounded by the guards.
"Hey, Daimyo of the Land of Fire, are you unwilling to meet our leader's demands?"
"Kill him." The Daimyo tightly clenched the broken kunai, coldly ordering.
The leader of the Akatsuki organization, Nagato, was nothing compared to Kyomu. He would rather bow to Kyomu than care about Nagato!
White Zetsu's spore clone was predictably killed, his neck snapped.
About five hours later.
In the Land of Dragons, Kyomu had two broken kunai on his desk, while a high-ranking official from the Land of Fire sat on the reception sofa, looking uncomfortable.
"Is this really what your Daimyo wants?"
"Lord Ryukage, our Daimyo sincerely invites you to return to the Land of Fire."
"I've always been legitimate; I don't like the term 'return.' Besides, your request is really difficult for me."
"Lord Ryukage, we combined the two conditions, so..."
"The rules are set by me. When you ask for something within my power, it's up to me to decide." Kyomu smiled, "Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!" The official wiped the sweat from his forehead, almost unable to sit still, "Lord Ryukage, as long as you agree to take over the defense of the Land of Fire, ensuring the safety of the capital, you can ask for anything."
"Any objections?"
"No!"
"Any inner objections?"
"No!"
"Really no objections?!"
Thud.
The official from the Land of Fire fell to his knees, bowing deeply to Kyomu, "Lord Ryukage, we sincerely request this. We have already killed the Akatsuki messenger; this is not a lie!"
Kyomu's smile widened, his lips curling more and more.
"Hahaha..."
The laughter was incredibly joyous!
