Chapter 112 Perhaps he can reach the level of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha
Kakuzu behaves just like in the original work; once he is overwhelmed by overwhelming power, he will obediently submit.
As expected of a veteran who has been in the ninja world for so long, he is indeed very pragmatic, and Souji is quite satisfied with this.
Thus, the Kage finally welcomed its second Kage-level member after Sasori.
Although he can now kill even a shadow, he still needs subordinates to do things for him.
In fact, it should be said that because he is so strong now, he needs even more powerful subordinates.
Even someone as powerful as the Hokage still needs to establish the Anbu to work for him.
The idea of using the Dark Side was immediately copied by the other four Kage, proving that it was indeed effective.
No matter how strong you are, you can't be a Souji without any troops, having to do everything yourself, big or small.
Not only would you be too busy, but it would also be too embarrassing.
After talking with Mei Terumi and Kakuzu, the group of Kirigakure Jonin had almost finished persuading ordinary ninja to surrender, and the few troublemakers who were determined to fight to the death had also been dealt with.
Over ten thousand Kirigakure ninja surrendered, and the Souji ordered them to remain on the island while the Konoha ninja army surrounded and monitored them from a distance.
Afterward, Kirigakure ninja would be arranged to return to Kirigakure in batches.
Normally, those who surrender would be taken to Konoha for imprisonment.
However, there are tens of thousands of people, which Konoha cannot accommodate.
Therefore, they have no choice but to send them back to Kirigakure.
In any case, the core of the Ninja World War is ultimately the Kage-level powerhouses.
Without the Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, if Kirigakure really dares to launch a sudden attack, then they can only willingly sacrifice themselves to accompany the Mizukage.
Souji, accompanied by five elite Jonin who now served as representatives, as well as Mei Terumi and other members of prestigious families, headed first to Kirigakure.
Only a little over a thousand ninja remained in Kirigakure, led by the Grand Elder Genji and a small number of Jonin.
When they saw the Souji flying in on a dragon, with their own important men returning dejectedly below, they knew something had happened.
Upon hearing that the Mizukage and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had all perished at the hands of Mochizuki Souji, the remaining officials, including Genji, were once again shaken.
The remaining high-ranking ninjas of Kirigakure discussed the matter behind closed doors for a long time.
The Souji wasn't in a hurry; he let them discuss it for as long as they wanted.
Anyway, the outcome is inevitable.
He's not trying to destroy Kirigakure.
He's already made over ten thousand people surrender, what more does he want?
Only madmen and hopelessly stupid people would still risk their lives like this.
As expected, in the end, Genji, as the representative of all Kirigakure, expressed his willingness to surrender completely to Souji, and followed Souji to Konoha to admit his surrender to the Hokage.
With the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata in Souji's hands, and the Grand Elder Genji, whose prestige was second only to the Mizukage, also taken away, Kirigakure no longer has a powerful figure who can unite everyone.
This is an attitude expressed by the defeated side.
Thus, Kirigakure arrived with overwhelming force, deploying over 14,000 ninjas to fight Konoha.
However, in just a few days, all of their top combatants were killed by Souji, and the Grand Elder Genji personally went to Konoha to express his willingness to surrender completely to the Hokage.
After some time, this message finally reached the hands of the Kage of the other three major ninja villages as urgent intelligence, subsequently causing a huge shock in the ninja world...
...
Konoha Village.
In front of the Hokage Building.
The Genji addressed the stunned Hokage in a deep voice:
"It's been a long time, Sarutobi..."
"Genji Master..."
The Hokage looked at Souji, then at Genji, his expression a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.
"Souji, what's wrong...?"
Souji smiled slightly and said calmly to the Hokage:
"The Hokage, the Mizukage, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were all killed by me in the battle."
"Huh!???" The Hokage was stunned on the spot.
"To avoid unnecessary bloodshed, I ordered the remaining 10,000-plus Kirigakure ninja to surrender.
The Kirigakure leadership has agreed after discussion, and the Grand Elder, Master Genji, is here as their representative."
"..."
The Hokage was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
Genji noticed something when he saw him like this.
"It seems this isn't what you meant?"
"So this is just a young person's idea..."
The Master glanced at the Souji again, a look of sudden realization crossing his eyes, but he quickly shook his head slightly and said helplessly:
"Sarutobi, Konoha truly lives up to its reputation as the head of the Five Great Shinobi Villages; it's amazing that you've been able to cultivate such a powerful successor..."
"Mochizuki Souji... Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, according to the witnesses, he killed the Mizukage very easily."
"Perhaps he can reach the level of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha back in the day..."
At this point, Master Genji shook his head slightly and sighed.
"That's just how it is. Having lost all our top combat power, Kirigakure has no choice but to surrender to Konoha."
"Sarutobi... no, Hokage-sama, please accept my request on behalf of Kirigakure to surrender completely to Konoha!"
"I...I..."
Looking at the Master who bowed deeply to him, the Hokage couldn't even utter a word.
Even the Hokage, who had experienced countless grand battles, was somewhat incredulous at this moment, almost wondering if he was dreaming...
Next, the Hokage summoned several advisors and discussed the matter of Kirigakure's surrender with Master Genji.
The Hokage looked at Souji for a long time, but ultimately decided not to let Souji join the conversation.
Last time, he killed two thousand Kirigakure in one go and launched a decisive battle against Kirigakure, which far exceeded his expectations.
This time, they even killed the Mizukage and brought the Hidden Mist Village's Grand Elder, Genji, to surrender...
He had absolutely no idea what to say.
That's way too much!
My initial thought was simply to defend and prevent the Hidden Mist Village from causing too much damage.
As a result, this kid defeated the Hidden Mist Village and forced them to surrender!
The balance of power among the five great nations, established by the First Hokage, has now been completely disrupted!
With even the Water Shadow killed and the Grand Elder Genji brought here, there's no room for change in the situation.
The Hokage was pressing his forehead, feeling an unbearable headache, and didn't know how to handle the situation!
The situation was similar for the other consultants.
Even for them, Master Genji was considered a senior figure, nearly 20 years older than them, about the same age as their teacher, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
Seeing this person suddenly appear in Konoha, claiming to be there to surrender on behalf of Kirigakure, naturally left them speechless with surprise.
Having only briefly heard the background information, the Konoha leadership was still completely bewildered.
That brat Souji... killed the Mizukage and forced Kirigakure to surrender completely!?
Every senior executive struggled to understand this fact.
After the initial shock and confusion, Danzo Shimura, unlike the other advisors, was filled with a dark anger.
How could Konoha defeat Kirigakure and force Kirigakure to surrender and submit to Konoha?
Isn't this the achievement that I should have accomplished?
Mochizuki Souji... that brat actually dared to steal my credit!
