“It seems there’s no need to make a special trip.” Iori casually eliminated the now useless Black Zetsu and stood up.

"It seems the Mizukage has decided the outcome; it's my turn to go on stage." Before she finished speaking, Iori vanished from the ground.

-----------------

"It's over, Hozuki Mangetsu." Yagura Karatachi swung his staff down, aiming straight for Hozuki Mangetsu's head.

Hozuki Mangetsu, filled with resentment, was preparing to accept his fate when a man suddenly appeared in front of him, casually stopping the coral stick with a single finger.

"You are...you are the Hokage of Konoha, why are you here?" Yagura Karatachi said grimly, "Did you instigate their rebellion?"

“No, all I bring is peace,” Iori said calmly. “First, wake up, Yagura Karatachi.”

With a glare, Iori's powerful eye force instantly destroyed the genjutsu left by Uchiha Madara.

Yagura staggered two steps, clutching his forehead in pain and groaning continuously.

"Lord Mizukage?"

"What did you do to Lord Mizukage?"

Seeing the pained Yagura, the ANBU surrounded Iori, bombarding him with questions.

"Quiet." Iori's eyes swept over them, and the movements of the ANBU members instantly froze. His powerful eye energy took over their bodies, rendering them unable to move.

"Hokage, what do you want to do?" Yagura, who had finally recovered, looked up at Iori and asked.

“The Land of Water,” Iori said calmly, as if asking for a piece of candy. “The Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure ninjas are already willing to surrender. Now, only you are left.”

"Or you can rebel; I don't mind establishing my authority beforehand."

After a long silence, Yagura said to him, "I need to talk to Elder Yuan Shi before I can give you an answer."

"Then, I'll give you one day. If you haven't made a decision by tomorrow, I will personally take over the Land of Water." Iori said this and then disappeared.

Yagura Karatachi sighed and said to the others, "I'm sorry, everyone, there's something I must talk to you about."

Chapter 368 The Finale (The End)

Back on the battlefield between Minato and Obito, the outcome has been decided.

Obito, whose heart had been pierced, lay helplessly on the ground, lifeless.

Minato stood to the side, completely silent, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Iori stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, told him about her promise to the Mizukage, and then said to him, "There's nothing to do now. Why don't you go and look for a child named Kaguya Kimimaro?"

“I remember he should still be wandering around the area.”

Minato nodded calmly and silently accepted the mission.

Meanwhile, Iori used this time to look for Shiro's whereabouts.

After spending several hours, Iori found Shiro, who was wandering as a beggar, in a town.

Although he was filthy and looked no different from other beggars.

However, the chakra that had once awakened Ice Release was very conspicuous in Iori's eyes.

Without needing to say anything more, just looking into Iori's eyes, Shiro understood that Iori was also one of the "monsters".

Without hesitation, he accepted Iori's outstretched hand and became his disciple.

After finding Shiro, Iori brought him to meet up with Minato.

Unexpectedly, Minato also found Kimimaro not long ago.

Kimimaro, who was always alone, was infected by Minato's enthusiasm after meeting him, who was like a little sun, and took the initiative to ask to join Konoha.

Kimimaro, whose heart is empty, hopes to understand what Minato meant by "love" in Konoha.

It was getting late, and the four of them had nothing else to do, so they spent the night at an inn in a nearby town.

The next day, Iori walked down the stairs from the inn and found that the high-ranking members of the Mist Ninja were already waiting there.

"What's your decision? To fight, or to surrender?" Iori asked.

"What kind of treatment will we receive if we surrender?" Yagura Karatachi didn't answer, but asked instead.

“Just like Kumogakure, which is second only to Konoha, they also did not resist Konoha and chose to join directly,” Iori replied calmly.

Yagura and the others exchanged glances, then simultaneously knelt on one knee, declaring their allegiance to Iori: "Then, please accept the allegiance of the Kirigakure."

Yesterday, they spared no expense to obtain information related to Iori from spies planted in the other three ninja villages.

The news from Sunagakure was fine, but Iori didn't show up at all. It was just that the Fifth Kazekage, Hakura, seemed to have defected to Konoha.

Although the Hidden Cloud Village saw the giant that was thousands of meters tall, it did not suffer any damage.

However, the intelligence from the Iwagakure side was terrifying. He summoned two meteorites powerful enough to destroy the village, only to destroy them with ease.

That power was like that of a god or a demon; it was a power that no human should possess.

Because of the long-standing Blood Mist policy, the overall strength of the Mist Village was already inferior to that of other ninja villages. Since other ninja villages had given up the fight, in order for the survival of the Mist Village, they also chose to give up resistance and join them.

“Very good, Minato, you will be in charge of the Land of Water. After the five great nations are all destroyed, the Star River will be established in this world.” Iori raised her head and said to Minato on the second floor.

Minato rolled off and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you."

-----------------

What followed was unremarkable: the Land of Wind was pacified by Yekura, the Land of Lightning by the Third and Fourth Raikage, the Land of Earth by Tobirama with two Tsuchikage, and the Land of Water by Minato and the Fourth Mizukage.

Although the daimyo have secretly trained many ninja armies, how could they possibly be a match for the five great ninja villages?

Even the most powerful and established daimyo of the Land of Fire was utterly crushed by Hashirama Senju's Wood Release.

The ninja world, which had been in turmoil for thousands of years, has finally ended its division today and been united under one banner.

In the heart of the Ninja World, Iori dispatched numerous ninjas to establish a giant city called "Chang'an," meaning long-lasting peace and stability.

After Chang'an was established, Iori's coronation ceremony was held as scheduled.

During the ceremony, he solemnly promised the participating ninjas a bright future and informed them of the threat from the stars.

The ninjas responsible for recording history recorded this scene in the history books so that it could be passed down as evidence to future generations.

Following the coronation ceremony, Iori's wedding took place immediately.

The guests were almost unchanged; they could be considered the brides' family members as well.

In the grand wedding, there was only one groom, Iori, but several brides at the same time.

Princess Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha; Kaori Uzuki, her childhood friend; Medea, who has been both her teacher and friend since childhood; Samui from Kumogakure; Pakura from Sunagakure; Kurotsuchi from Iwagakure; and Mei Terumi from Kirigakure.

Although the later women were all in political marriages, they were not hostile to Iori. Apart from Kurotsuchi, the others even had a considerable fondness for her.

Even with the black soil, it was only because reverence overwhelmed any goodwill that the feeling of unfamiliarity was so profound.

Faced with the grand wedding and the blessings of the guests, everyone began to change their mindset, considering themselves Iori's concubine.

But what Iori didn't expect was that the real test would come after the wedding.

The harem is the real battlefield of carnage.

"Iori, you said it yourself, didn't you? I am the rightful wife!" Tsunade looked at Iori with a forced smile and said with a cold laugh.

"Brother, you said I'm the most important person to you, right?" Kaori Uzuki said, pulling on Iori's hand and acting coquettishly.

"Um, um, Mr. Iori, you're not going to leave me alone on our wedding night, are you...? Only a scumbag would do that." Medea twisted the hem of her clothes, her eyes gradually becoming vacant.

"Me? I don't care, it's fine whether you come or not." Ye Cang blushed, but kept glancing at Iori out of the corner of her eye.

Samui, Kurotsuchi, and Terumi Mei did not speak, but they kept looking into Iori's eyes.

Just as the group in front was about to start arguing, Iori waved his hand, stopping them: "Enough, no need to say more, I'll fuck all seven of them the same!"

After he finished speaking, he pulled everyone into the bedroom.

What follows is a scene unsuitable for children: the Fifth Hokage, the Star Emperor, fights seven enemies single-handedly, routing them and leaving them utterly defeated.

-----------------

After a night of hard work, Iori still got out of bed as scheduled and attended the first court assembly of the Star Han Empire.

On the dragon throne, Iori addressed the high-ranking officials below: "Then let's accelerate the development of the ninja world. I can already sense that that world is getting closer and closer to us."

"If the entire ninja world doesn't advance to interstellar civilization before his arrival, the consequences will be dire."

"Yes, all for the sake of the ninja world!" the ninjas below answered in unison.
