Hearing Uchiha Shin's uncompromising answer, the Daimyo immediately wet himself, crying and begging for mercy.
As long as Uchiha Shin would spare his life, he would agree to any demand.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Shin was completely unmoved, determined to kill him.
Soon, the Daimyo was dragged out of his mansion and onto a temporary execution platform in the street.
In full public view, the Daimyo's crimes were read aloud, and he was ultimately executed for the crime of rebellion and treason!
As the Daimyo's head fell, everyone was in an uproar, their eyes filled with disbelief.
This scene was even more shocking to them than when the people of the Three Kingdoms era saw Cheng Ji execute the emperor in the street.
After all, in this world, the Daimyo was a descendant of the gods, from a line of succession unbroken for generations.
Nothing like this had ever happened before.
Now, the descendant of the gods had been killed just like that.
They couldn't even imagine what the world would become in the future.
Daimyo's Mansion!
"Although the Daimyo is dead, there are still many powerful and noble families in the Capital of the Land of Fire! They are all obstacles to our control of the Land of Fire."
"Elder Shikaku, next, you will lead everyone to raid their homes and exterminate their clans!"
Uchiha Shin said in a deep voice.
Since he had already killed the Daimyo, what was the point of leaving these nobles alive?
Might as well kill them all!
"Understood!!"
Shikaku responded.
Although doing this might throw the Land of Fire into chaos, and could potentially trigger rebellions in various places, compared to the benefits of raiding their homes and exterminating their clans, this bit of turmoil was nothing.
Moreover, even if something beyond their control happened, wasn't there still Uchiha Shin, the tall one, to hold up the sky?
They just had to follow orders!
Soon, Shikaku led the clan heads of the various ninja clans, along with fifteen hundred ninja, on a rampage towards the major noble and powerful families of the Capital of the Land of Fire.
This night, the Capital of the Land of Fire welcomed a great change unseen in a thousand years!
Countless noble families were wiped out in this moment.
Countless people died unjustly.
The sound of crying and screaming shook the heavens and the earth.
However, Uchiha Shin paid no attention to any of this.
After night fell, Uchiha Shin and Izumi had dinner, and then he spent another three hours with her.
It wasn't until Izumi fell asleep that he took Yugao to the place where Tsunade was being held.
Tsunade was, after all, a great beauty, and Uchiha Shin clearly had other intentions for her.
Naturally, he wouldn't lock her up in some dirty, messy place.
So, Tsunade was actually being held in a side palace.
Uchiha Shin pushed the door open and entered.
Tsunade woke up immediately.
"It's you?!"
Tsunade immediately recognized the person who had come.
"It's me!"
Uchiha Shin smiled.
"What do you want?"
Coming here in the middle of the night couldn't be for anything good. Tsunade instantly became wary of Uchiha Shin.
"What do I want? Don't you know??"
Uchiha Shin sneered.
"Don't even think about it! I'd rather die than let you succeed!"
Tsunade's face changed drastically, and she screamed.
"You're just a prisoner. It's not up to you!"
Uchiha Shin sneered.
"Don't you dare touch a single hair on Lady Tsunade's head."
At this moment, Shizune stepped forward and stood in front of Tsunade.
"Yugao, take Shizune away!"
Uchiha Shin glanced at Shizune and said to Yugao beside him.
"Yes!!"
Yugao responded.
With a Body Flicker Technique, she appeared behind Shizune.
Shizune's chakra was sealed, making her like an ordinary person.
She had no time to react and was knocked unconscious by a chop from Yugao!
"Shizune!!!"
Tsunade's face changed slightly.
"Lady Tsunade, you should worry about yourself first!"
Yugao glanced at Tsunade, then carried Shizune out of the side palace, closing the door behind her!
"No..."
...
Kumogakure! Raikage's Office.
"That useless trash Danzo! To be defeated by Uchiha Shin so quickly!!"
At this time, the spies who had infiltrated the Land of Fire had already sent intelligence about the Battle of Sunset Valley back to Kumogakure.
The intelligence was quite detailed.
After the Fourth Raikage read it, he couldn't help but curse loudly.
"Fourth Raikage, this battle was not Danzo's fault, but rather Uchiha Shin's strength is too formidable!!"
Dodai spoke up.
At this time, in the Raikage's office, all the high-ranking officials were gathered.
They had also read the intelligence sent back by the spies and could deeply feel Uchiha Shin's power from it.
Putting themselves in his shoes, they didn't think they could have done better than Danzo.
"That's right! Uchiha Shin is too strong! To not only not be defeated while being outnumbered, but to also powerfully kill Danzo and Jiraiya, and then seal the two previous Hokage... Such strength is simply unimaginable!!"
"Also, putting Uchiha Shin aside, that Uchiha Izumi alone is not simple. She seems to be only thirteen, yet she has also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. The Twelve Guardian Ninja of the Daimyo's Mansion of the Land of Fire couldn't even last a few moves against her."
"Even Orochimaru was defeated by her..."
"Enough! I called you here to discuss attacking the Land of Fire, not to boast about how powerful the Uchiha are!"
Hearing these people's words, the Fourth Raikage couldn't help but slam his desk and shout.
"Lord Fourth, the strength displayed by Konoha now is too formidable. It is not advisable to go to war with them at this time!"
A high-ranking official said quickly.
"That's right, Lord Fourth. Once this war starts, it might turn into a prolonged war, a world war."
"Currently, our Kumogakure is not prepared for war..."
"..."
Everyone spoke one after another, all with the same meaning: now was not the time for war.
They hoped the Fourth Raikage would give up this idea.
"Are you all finished?"
The Fourth Raikage remained silent, quietly watching them speak.
It wasn't until they were almost done that he spoke.
Seeing the Fourth Raikage like this, everyone couldn't help but look solemn.
"What you said might be right, but have you considered one thing?"
The Fourth Raikage said in a deep voice.
"Please enlighten us, Lord Fourth!"
A high-ranking official said quickly.
"How old is Uchiha Shin this year?? How old is Uchiha Izumi this year! They already have such strength now!"
"If we give them a few more years, can you imagine how strong they will become?"
"Also! At this time, Uchiha Shin has just seized Konoha, and the people's hearts are not yet stable."
"And there are serious conflicts with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!"
"This time, Konoha's army has surrounded the Capital of the Land of Fire, which will surely cause turmoil in the Land of Fire that won't subside for a long time."
"If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate Uchiha Shin, and wait for him to catch his breath, win over the hearts of Konoha's people, and gain the full support of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire..."
"At that time, can we still defeat him, who has completely controlled Konoha and gained the support of the Daimyo?"
"Can you imagine what kind of enemy we will be facing?"
"Will we still be his opponent?"
