Chapter 355

Chose to merge into the Land of Fire!!!

From this point on,

the Land of Ghost and the Land of Whirl also vanished,

leaving only the City of Ghost and the City of Whirl!!!

【Jiraiya: Perhaps this is the most perfect ending... I once pondered this question: what would the ninja world have become if the First Hokage had unified it by force?】

【Orochimaru: The path of another world is even more perfect than we imagined; though forcing unification might not be so great, this First Hokage established a far more complete and unique system.】

【Tsunade: Yes... it won't take long—just as long as this grandfather can enforce his system for a while, the other nations will be assimilated by the Land of Fire.】

【Tobirama Senju: Seeing this, I'm even more jealous of my other self—why does he have such an outstanding older brother? If my older brother had this same clarity of mind, I'd have far fewer problems...】

【Hashirama Senju: Hahaha! Tobirama, don't talk like that! Though my other self is outstanding, I'm not bad either!!】

【Shikamaru: Hmph!!! I don't understand why the other nations are still hesitating— even the Four Great Nations, vastly stronger than them, have chosen to merge into the Land of Fire. Do these small nations really think they can resist the First Hokage's advance??】

【Raikage: Though I hate to say it... I think this might be the best development for the ninja world—perhaps war will never occur again.】

【Omoi: As long as this First Hokage fully unifies the ninja world and successfully implements his system for five years, after five years... the entire ninja world will have only one voice.】

【Terumi: If we follow this First Hokage's system, the living standards of the entire ninja world will rise dramatically, especially for ordinary people—by then, even if you told them to leave the Land of Fire, they wouldn't want to go!!】

【Rasa: Even we, as one of the Five Great Nations, sometimes live no better than others—let alone those small nations struggling in the cracks... Under this First Hokage's system, the greatest beneficiaries will be these small nations and ordinary people!!】

After the Land of Ghost and the Land of Whirl simultaneously announced their merger into the Land of Fire,

the ninja world briefly entered a period of calm!!

Hashirama Senju ignored the thoughts of the small nations,

he was now busy contemplating how to manage the development of these nations after their merger into the Land of Fire!!

As for the existence of these small nations,

in his view, they would eventually be swallowed by the Land of Fire,

it was merely a matter of time!!

He even believed,

that once the people of these small nations saw how the Land of Fire developed,

many would even join the Land of Fire of their own accord!!.

157. The Beginning of a Golden Age! Everyone Can Become a Dragon!

"You mean... sending the children of these nations to our country to study?"

Hashirama Senju tapped his desk,

gazing at Nara Saki before him and speaking gravely.

Undeniably,

he was tempted by Nara Saki's proposal!!!

"Yes... Your Majesty Hashirama..."

"As long as they send their children to our country for exchange and study."

"In five years at the shortest, ten at the longest, these children will surely undergo the ideological purification of the Land of Fire."

"By then, even if they attempt any other moves... they won't pose a threat to us."

Nara Saki did not finish speaking,

because he knew Hashirama Senju was no fool,

his proposal,

Hashirama Senju would surely understand the hidden meaning behind it!!!

Sometimes force is not the most terrifying thing,

what's truly terrifying is ideology!!

Once these children come to the Land of Fire,

after undergoing this ideological purification,

they will gradually internalize the Land of Fire's values and ultimately merge with it.

In short,

this is an open strategy.

Nara Saki did not believe the other nations could refuse their demand!!!

Moreover, they had no right to refuse.

"Approved... do as you say."

"Immediately notify the other nations of these matters."

"Handle the rest yourself—no need to seek my opinion again."

Hashirama Senju waved his hand,

leaving Nara Saki to figure out how to implement the plan.

"Your Majesty Hashirama, rest assured—I will not disappoint you."

Nara Saki exhaled in relief,

bowed deeply to Hashirama Senju.

Unconsciously, Hashirama Senju's pressure on them had grown ever stronger,

even though he had not deliberately released his aura,

merely sitting there,

it weighed upon Nara Saki's heart like a massive boulder.

When ordinary people faced Hashirama Senju,

He probably even dares not breathe loudly!!

Nara Saki knew that Hashirama Senju's strength had become even greater than before,

the Four Great Nations had suddenly been absorbed into the Land of Fire,

existing in the form of cities,

Nara Saki did not know the exact details of what had happened.

But he also knew,

about that day when Yatsuki and the other three had come together to challenge Hashirama Senju.

The terrifying aura that had radiated from the Land of Fire's palace that day,

even from afar, he had felt it,

if that energy had fully erupted,

the entire Land of Fire would have had no survivors except Hashirama Senju!! 510

Merely imagining such a scene,

Nara Saki felt his scalp go numb!!

Fortunately, their choice had been the right one,

Hashirama Senju had unquestionably won!!

Perhaps this was why the people of the Four Great Nations had been willing to join the Land of Fire,

they had joined the Land of Fire in this form,

which was virtually no different from national annihilation!!!

It's basically no different from a fallen kingdom!!!

"Is this the Land of Fire?"

"Why does it differ so much from how I remember it?"

Yatsuki watched the children in the campus learning various knowledge,

feeling somewhat dazed!!!

Several years ago, he had not never visited the Land of Fire,

but in his memory,

the Land of Fire had not been like this,

yet now the number of schools in the Land of Fire had exceeded ten!!

And now the number of schools in the Land of Fire has already exceeded ten!!
