Chapter 166: Surrender after the Battle

Facts have proved that if a person does not push himself, he will never know how good he is.

The Ten Thousand Miles of Earth Flow Wall, jointly launched by the Tsuchikage and the Iwagakure ninjas, was broken through by 99% with a single strike from the Hokage Madara, and only stopped at the last 1%.

"Hoo~ I'm saved."

"We held it off, and we survived."

"Luckily we have the encouragement from Tsuchikage-sama, otherwise we would have been unable to stop it."

……

The Rock Ninjas who survived the disaster cheered and celebrated their survival. They were actually happier than during the Chinese New Year.

"Are you happy too early?"

The cold voice of Hokage Madara was like a bucket of cold water in the coldest days of winter, which extinguished the enthusiasm of the Rock Ninjas and let them know that the battle was not over yet, and that their survival was only temporary.

The Rock Ninjas looked at the calm and composed Hokage Madara in Susanoo, with his arms folded across his chest, and they couldn't muster the courage to fight him.

"Hokage, are you going to kill them all?"

Although the Tsuchikage dared to face the Hokage Madara head-on, the slash just now had already made him realize the gap in strength between him and the Hokage Madara. Continuing to fight would only increase casualties, so when he spoke, his tone was inevitably three points weaker.

"What? Do you want to surrender now? You, the Tsuchikage, started the war, but I, Uchiha Madara, have the final say on when the war ends."

After the Hokage Madara finished speaking, a large number of magatama suddenly shot out from the body of Susanoo, attacking the Tsuchikage and the Iwagakure from a distance.

"Take my Yasakani no Magatama move. If you are lucky enough not to die, I will allow you to surrender."

Hokage Madara acted as he said. After releasing the Yasakani no Magatama, he stood there motionless, waiting for the final result.

The Iwa Ninja looked at the overwhelming Yasakani no Magatama, his face ashen, and he had given up struggling.

"It's useless. We are dead this time."

"Just a single slash was enough to make us so exhausted. We can't withstand an attack of this magnitude now."

"I really want to eat the stone pot rice from Iwagakure Village again, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance anymore."

Just when all the Rock Ninjas were facing death, the Tsuchikage told them with practical actions not to give up.

The Tsuchikage formed seals with his hands and released a wall of earth in front of him, blocking the Iwagakure ninjas, and then spoke.

"Iwashi Ninjas, I need your help to form a Ten Thousand Miles Earth Flow Wall to block this wave of attacks, and then we can survive together."

The Tsuchikage's words and deeds awakened the desire to survive of several Iwagakure ninjas. They formed seals with their hands and injected chakra into the earth flow wall in front of them.

At this moment, a gap was suddenly blasted open in the earth flow wall. Although the Tsuchikage and several Rock Ninjas tried their best to repair it, a magatama still drilled in through the gap, fell into the Rock Ninjas and exploded.

The Rock Ninjas affected by the explosion were either killed or injured. Those who were lucky enough not to be affected, after a close encounter with death, also formed seals with their hands and injected chakra into the Earth Flow Wall.

The Tsuchikage and the Iwagakure huddled behind the Earth Flow Wall, trying their best to keep the Earth Flow Wall in front of them from being broken, but accidents always happened, just like the magatama before.

The Yasakani no Magatama mercilessly devoured the lives of the Iwagakure ninjas. The number of living Iwagakure ninjas present decreased rapidly, and was less than one-fifth of the number when they first arrived.

Finally, the attack of Yasakani no Magatama ended.

Looking at the dusty Rock Ninjas present, they were lying on the ground with their backs facing the sky, gasping for breath, without any strength left in their bodies.

"Hokage, I surrender to you on behalf of the Iwagakure Village. I hope you can keep your promise."

The Tsuchikage fell to the ground, his back against the broken earth flow wall, and said to the Hokage Madara in a trembling voice.

"I, Uchiha Madara, always keep my word. I accept the surrender of your Iwagakure Village."

Naruto Madara accepted the Tsuchikage's surrender, removed the Susanoo on his body, and without even looking at the Tsuchikage, walked towards the giant pillar.

A hint of joy flashed across the Tsuchikage's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by disappointment.

The Tsuchikage looked at his right leg which was broken in the explosion, and for a moment he was overwhelmed with emotions, thinking: If only... Unfortunately, there was no if.

"Hashirama, the Tsuchikage has surrendered. Problem solved."

No matter how you listen to what Hokage Madara said, it feels like he is showing off to the great pillar.

"Ban, you... Oh, forget it, the problem is solved."

Daibashi originally wanted to blame the Hokage, Madara, for killing so many people, but he swallowed the words back and quickly changed his tone.

Madara the Hokage understood what the Great Pillar meant, but since the Great Pillar chose to keep silent, Madara the Hokage naturally would not waste his breath arguing with the Great Pillar about right and wrong.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rustling footsteps, followed by a group of ninjas coming out.

"Hokage-sama, you fly so fast. We finally caught up with you."

The group of ninjas that came were none other than the team that Hokage Madara asked Tobirama to gather to rescue the great pillar.

"You've come just in time. The Iwagakure Village has just announced its surrender. Go take them back to Konoha Village and keep them safe, then notify the Iwagakure Village to negotiate."

Hokage Madara was still worrying about how to bring these people from the Iwagakure Village back to the Konoha Village. Unexpectedly, this group of Konoha ninjas appeared at this time. He simply gave the task of transporting the prisoners of war to them and was happy to have some free time.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

After receiving orders from Hokage Madara, the Konoha ninjas counted the prisoners of war in the Iwagakure Village and then set out on the journey back to Konoha Village.

"Hokage, Hashirama, please stay and let me express my gratitude to you."

The Kazekage emerged from the dense bushes and bowed deeply to the Naruto Madara and the great pillar before continuing.

"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble this time. I'm really sorry."

"Fengying, now that everything has been resolved, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Dazhuzi comforted Fengying, hoping that Fengying would not be too harsh on himself.

"Fengying, this is not your fault. Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. However, you should also improve your strength."

Although the Hokage Madara did not blame the Kazekage, he did look down on the Kazekage's strength. If the Kazekage had been stronger, he would not have been imprisoned by the Tsuchikage, and then the following events would have happened.

After listening to what Naruto Madara said, the Kazekage felt a little hot on his face, but he couldn't refute Naruto Madara, so he could only accept it with an awkward smile.

"Kazekage, in your current state, it may be difficult for you to return to the Sand Village. Why don't you come back to Konoha Village with us? We can return to the Sand Village after you have rested."

Naruto Madara invited.

After listening to this, the Kazekage weighed the pros and cons in secret, and then gladly accepted the invitation from the Hokage Madara.

"Okay, then we'll bother the Hokage."

The Hokage Madara, the Great Pillar and the Kazekage were talking and laughing as they walked towards the Konoha Village, while the ninjas from the Sand Village followed behind them.

Speechless all the way.

After arriving at Konoha Village, I saw Tobirama and Itama from a distance, standing at the gate of Konoha Village and looking into the distance.

"Tobirama, Itama, I'm back."

After saying this, Dazhuzi ran over and the three brothers hugged each other tightly.

"Hashirama is back in good health now. I have done what I promised you."

Hokage Madara said this when he passed by Tobirama, without stopping, obviously not wanting to disturb the reunion of the three Hashirama brothers.

Naruto Madara brought the Kazekage into Konoha Village and arranged accommodation for the Kazekage and the Sand Village ninjas. Then he returned to the Hokage's office alone, took off his armor, changed back into the Hokage robe, and dealt with daily documents. His life returned to the starting point.

……

The country of whirlpool.

Whirlpool Village.

"I declare that from today on, the name Uzushio Village will become history, and I will lead the Uzumaki clan to join Konoha Village."

Uzumaki stood on the platform and spoke loudly.

The Uzumaki clan members below the stage were talking about this.

"Why did Lord Uzukage announce such a thing in public?"

"We are living well in Uzushio Village, aren't we? Why do you want to join Konoha Village?"

"I heard that a few nights ago, the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village joined forces to attack the Uzushio Village."

"Is this true? Why didn't I hear any noise in the village?"

"Don't say you didn't hear it. I didn't hear it either. It is said that it was Uzumaki-sama's son-in-law who drove the Kirigakure and Kumogakure away. Their bodies are still lying in the woods."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes."

……

Uzumaki listened to the discussions below, coughed lightly, and then continued.

"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. I know you may not understand my thoughts, but I will never harm you. Please believe me."

After Woying finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the tribesmen in the audience.

Uzumaki's bow seemed to be a signal, causing the tribesmen in groups of three or four below the stage to speak loudly.

"I support Lord Uzumaki and agree to join the Leaf Village."

"I also support Lord Uzumaki and agree to join the Leaf Village."

Then one person told two, two told three, and soon the voices from the audience supporting the Uzumaki and agreeing to join the Konoha Village became one and the momentum was getting stronger.

Uzumaki listened to the voices of support from the audience and then spoke.

"Thank you for your trust and support, everyone. Please pack your belongings. We will set off for Konoha Village tomorrow morning. Everyone go back."

After Uzumaki finished speaking, he was the first to leave the platform.

After Woying left, several of the tribesmen below who had shouted the loudest also disappeared silently.

At the Uzukage home.

"You know what? This trick of yours really works. I originally thought that getting the Uzumaki clan to join Konoha Village would be a difficult task, but I didn't expect that with your trick, it would be so easy."

Uzukage praised Shenwei, his eyes revealing a sense of satisfaction.

"It was all thanks to Lord Uzukage, who had a high reputation among the tribesmen, that this was possible. I was of no help at all."

Kamui gave all the credit to Uzumaki and never mentioned what he himself did in it.
