Chapter 293
"Hahaha, sister, you're actually blushing."
Hyūga Hanabi laughed mischievously, and before Hinata could react, her figure flashed as she darted away.
"Hanabi, you're really asking for it. As your older sister, I have to teach you a lesson today!"
Hinata quickly gave chase without hesitation.
"I don't want it!" Hanabi giggled, accelerating her pace.
And so, in the Hyūga compound, Hinata and Hanabi began chasing and sparring playfully.

Meanwhile, across the ninja world—beyond Konohagakure—countless people watching the live broadcast were left dumbfounded, many even showing expressions of disbelief.
Are you kidding me?
The legendary Great Toad Sage, leader of Mount Myōboku, reduced to this? It was humiliating.
Uchiha Yuta, the Fifth Hokage, had killed Fukasaku and Shima from afar in an instant, and the Great Toad Sage simply shifted the blame onto them, avoiding responsibility.
It was unbelievable. Truly unbelievable.
For a figure considered legendary, how could the Great Toad Sage be so cowardly? He didn't even dare speak a strong word against the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta. He had lost even the most basic courage.
Sad. Truly sad.
---
Of course, the humiliation of the Great Toad Sage also dragged down the Sage of Six Paths. Many were nauseated just thinking about it.
Damn it, the Sage of Six Paths is worthless too. Was pushing the Great Toad Sage forward supposed to do anything? He doesn't even have the courage to confront the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta!
"The Sage of Six Paths' reputation was destroyed in a single day."
"More than destroyed. Compared to the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—the Sage of Six Paths is nothing but a turtle."
"Haha, now that the Great Toad Sage has raised the white flag without hesitation, the one who must be the angriest is none other than Uchiha Madara."
"The entire Shinobi Alliance is unlucky—led by an old toad who caves at the first sign of pressure."
Countless voices across the nations dripped with disdain. Many civilians outright called both the Great Toad Sage and the Sage of Six Paths garbage.
---
The sides were clear:
On one stood the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta.
On the other, the Shinobi Alliance, propped up by the Great Toad Sage and Uchiha Madara.
Yet before the battle had even begun, after Uchiha Yuta annihilated Mount Myōboku's Fukasaku and Shima, the Great Toad Sage had already withdrawn like a coward.

In Sunagakure
After Chiyo and Ebizō had departed to ally with Konoha, the remaining shinobi and civilians of the Sand Village had lived in unease. Being tied to Konoha meant their future was unpredictable.
But now, watching the massive live broadcast screen in the skies, all of Sunagakure felt relief.
Confidence swelled in their hearts as they praised the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta.
From afar, he had killed Fukasaku and Shima of Mount Myōboku, and even forced the Great Toad Sage to cower like a turtle. His might was undeniable.
"Hahaha, the balance of victory is shifting in our favor!"
"The Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—is incredible. Luckily Sunagakure sided with him. Otherwise, our fate would have been terrifying."
"With Lord Uchiha Yuta's power, facing the Shinobi Alliance must feel worse than eating dirt. I bet Uchiha Madara himself wants to strangle the Great Toad Sage right now."
"Exactly! Didn't you see how dark Madara's face turned?"
The people of Sunagakure exchanged knowing smiles, joy written across their faces.
In the past, they had known the Fifth Hokage was strong. But this strong? To slay two sages of Mount Myōboku in an instant, and then force the Great Toad Sage into silence?
Now they felt secure.
---
And it wasn't just Sunagakure.
Amegakure, Takigakure, Ancient Loulan, the Land of Demons, and other allied nations all clung tightly to the "thigh" of the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta.
All eyes turned to the sky, watching the giant screen, excitement brimming.
---
"With just one move, Uchiha Yuta made both Madara and the Sage of Six Paths look like fools."
"Haha, not only fools—he trampled them. The Great Toad Sage didn't even dare breathe loudly, let alone resist. He was terrified."
"The Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—is truly the strongest shinobi in the world. Even the Great Toad Sage was forced to submit."
There was nothing more to be said.
The Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—was unrivaled.
As for the so-called Great Toad Sage, the Sage of Six Paths, and even Uchiha Madara—they were nothing but garbage compared to him.
Now that the Great Toad Sage had crumbled first, the morale of the Shinobi Alliance would surely collapse.
