After A's death, Kumogakure had no ans left to resist.
Led by the elderly Two-Tails' Jinchuriki, Namai, Kumogakure surrendered to Sora.
One of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and one of the upper three at that, had been forced to surrender by Sora alone. If this news spread, many would find it impossible to believe.
But this was reality. Fiction needs logic… the gun introduced in the first act must go off in the third. Reality has no such requirent.
For the sake of survival, no matter how humiliating, how helpless, and despite all the bitterness, Kumogakure had no choice but to surrender to Sora.
A simple surrender ceremony was held.
During the ceremony, perhaps due to a misunderstanding stemming from Sora's earlier capture of Mabui, many beautiful Kunoichi of Kumogakure, whom ordinary people could only admire from afar, were presented, hoping to satisfy Sora.
However, Sora wasn't particularly interested in these individuals.
For soone of his strength and status, beautiful appearances were easily attainable. Without any special qualities, Sora wasn't even interested in a casual fling.
At the very least, they would need so connection to the original work.
And in the current Kumogakure, aside from Mabui, both the blonde, fair-skinned, busty Samui and the future Two-Tails' Jinchuriki, Nii Yugito, were only around thirteen or fourteen years old.
Taking action against them would be killing himself.
Therefore, even though the ceremony was intoxicating, Sora did not linger for long.
Taking the newly captured Mabui, along with the previously captured Magnet Release User, Toroi, and a few others, Sora directly set out on the return journey to Kirigakure.
Passing by the recent battlefield, Sora glanced over it again, feeling as if a certain presence was missing… more precisely, B's.
'Did Killer B survive? As expected of the Eight-Tails, capable of even deceiving the Akatsuki.'
'Well, if he survived, he survived. Consider yourself lucky. Just don't cause trouble in the future.'
Not dwelling on B's unexpected survival, after confirming his status, Sora casually tore open a Garganta, stepped inside, and began his journey back to Kirigakure through the void corridor.
However, just as Sora quietly began his return, the news of him single-handedly going to Kumogakure and forcing the entire village to submit had already spread throughout the Ninja World!
…
Iwagakure!
Looking at the intelligence riskily sent by a spy within Kumogakure, Onoki was shocked!
"Is this true?" This was Onoki's first thought.
"This is actually true!!?" This was his second thought.
"This is damn well true?! Is there sothing wrong with this world?" This was his third thought.
He was astonished, utterly astonished!
Because even during the era of Hashirama and Madara, when the two pillars of the Ninja World suffocated everyone with their pressure, neither of them had accomplished the feat of subjugating an entire village single-handedly.
Not even the most unruly Madara had done so!
Though they certainly possessed the strength for it!
After all, Madara and Hashirama, hailing from the Warring States Period, aid to end the chaotic era, not create more bloodshed.
For this, Hashirama could kowtow to the other Kage at the Five Kage Summit from a position of absolute victory, and he could also stage that shocking deception when faced with Madara's demands.
Hashirama, holding a small kunai to his heart: Madara, I will commit suicide! I will atone for Izuna's life!
Madara, completely forgetting Hashirama's regenerative abilities: Stop, Hashirama! I understand your good intentions now! You must not die!
Then, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Madara, looking at Tsunade, who was bisected at the waist and still survived: Hmph, your regenerative abilities are not even one ten-thousandth of my Hashirama's!
So...
Welllll...
However, Onoki knew nothing of this grand deception, but it was enough to illustrate his shock.
"It seems I must change my stance towards Yuki Sora and Kirigakure once again!" Onoki let out a long sigh, feeling as if the whole world was against him.
Who could have imagined? Onoki had survived the era of Hashirama and Madara, finally waiting for Konoha's decline and the rise of various powers in the Ninja World, only for a Yuki Sora to erge from Kirigakure.
And this young man showed no regard for the rules of engagent.
Relying solely on his imnse power, he acted without restraint, suppressing whover he wished and killing whover he pleased. There was no room for diplomacy or social niceties.
They say those with nothing to lose fear no one, and the ruthless fear the reckless.
Faced with such a reckless youth, Onoki could only admit defeat!
However, having lived through the era of the Two Gods, Onoki was also very flexible… so flexible he often felt he might throw his back out!
"Since Yuki Sora cannot be opposed by force, we have no choice but to seek peace!"
"Soone, summon Kitsuchi here!" Onoki issued the command!
