Chapter 270

Hashirama Senju didn't pay much attention to this matter.

Whether these four daimyō lived or died,

all four countries would be absorbed into his territory!

In the end,

Hashirama Senju issued a final notice to the people of these four countries!

Either they would be leveled to the ground,

or they would be incorporated into the Land of Fire!!

But when Hashirama Senju spoke these words,

the people of the four countries were filled with outrage!!

Some even publicly declared they would rather die noble than live in shame!!

But when Yoru and Bai Lian and the others appeared,

all of them chose to close their mouths!

If even the strongest warriors of their own nations had said this,

what could these people possibly do?

Yoru, Bai Lian, and the others even took the initiative to eliminate these people!

Because they knew,

if they didn't act this way,

when Hashirama Senju arrived in their own countries,

his methods might not be so gentle!

After all, the Tailed Beasts were still in Hashirama Senju's hands!

If Hashirama Senju were to attack their nations with the Tailed Beasts,

none of them could possibly resist his assault!

They had seen the power of the Tailed Beasts before,

and it was simply too overwhelming!!

To ordinary people,

this was a power more terrifying than natural disasters!!

They had no doubt,

if Hashirama Senju truly came to attack their nations with the Tailed Beasts,

after the war ended,

apart from themselves and a few powerful ninja,

hardly anyone would survive!!

So after Yoru and Bai Lian and the others eliminated these dissidents,

they immediately seized control of their nations' governments!

They showed Hashirama Senju their submission!!

They had witnessed Hashirama Senju's power firsthand,

so they knew,

they could never stand against Hashirama Senju's advance!

Rather than resist,

it was better to surrender outright,

which would reduce casualties!!

When they made this move,

the people of the Land of Lightning, the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Water were all in uproar!!

They couldn't understand why the strongest ninja in their own nations had done this!

To them, it was utterly unthinkable!

After all, they knew how powerful these ninja from their own nations were,

but now it seemed,

they had been utterly terrified by Hashirama Senju!!

From then on,

there was no longer a division of the Five Great Nations in the ninja world!!

The history of the Five Great Nations had become entirely past,

now the ninja world had only one great nation!!

That was the Land of Fire ruled by Hashirama Senju!!

When Nara Saki and the others saw the surrender documents sent by the other four nations,

they all wore expressions of disbelief!

It was too fast!

Even though they had anticipated this scene,

Hashirama Senju's speed in unifying the ninja world still exceeded their imagination!

Their mental image still lingered at the moment Hashirama Senju first expressed his intentions…

Yet,

who could have imagined.

Hashirama Senju has reached this point so quickly!!

He swiftly overthrew the rule of the Lord of the Land of Fire,

Gathered all nine Tailed Beasts…

Four great nations submitted surrender documents to the Land of Fire,

Expressing their willingness to submit to the Land of Fire's…

To Nara Saki and the others, this all seemed,

Unbelievably fast!!!

According to Nara Saki's original plans and estimates,

It would take Hashirama Senju at least five years to overthrow the Lord of the Land of Fire,

Another five years to gather all nine Tailed Beasts,

As for completing the unification of the entire ninja world,

It would surely take more than twenty years.

But he had not expected,

That in the steps of overthrowing the Lord of the Land of Fire and completing the unification of the entire ninja world,

Hashirama Senju had spent less than half a year.

Thinking of Hashirama Senju's actions over these past six months,

Nara Saki fell silent,

But when he calmed down and reflected carefully,

He realized it somehow made sense after all,

Because Hashirama Senju's strength could no longer be measured by the term "ordinary ninja."

His power had long been nearly indistinguishable from the divine strength recorded in legends,

And against such power,

Any scheme or trickery could never hinder his advance.

Nara Saki habitually tried to predict Hashirama Senju's actions using ordinary human logic,

He had unconsciously ignored the fact that Hashirama Senju's strength had long surpassed the bounds of ordinary beings,

Anything that stood in his way was no obstacle to him,

Hashirama Senju could simply cross all these barriers with his own strength!!!

"Saki… what do you think our future will be like?"

"Will future generations nail us to the family's wall of shame?"
