Onoki was shocked upon hearing this guy's words, his eyes went blank.
'What did this guy just say? He actually wants to go to Iwagakure and release that heaven-shaking, earth-shattering move again?'
Then Iwagakure's tens of thousands of ninjas, wouldn't they just die from that one move?
'This guy is actually so ruthless. This guy definitely would do it.'
Even if he was extremely unwilling to submit in his heart,
at this moment, deep down, he was already inclined to submit, because he didn't want to see Iwagakure destroyed, nor did he want to see the people of Iwagakure die an unnatural death.
Because the guy in front of him was simply too abnormal. He flew directly into the sky, and while the people of Iwagakure hadn't reacted yet, he secretly used this move. If that's the case, many people would probably die before they could even react.
Of course, even if this guy made a move openly, even though Iwagakure had long-range weapons, they probably wouldn't be able to stop this guy.
This guy possessed a powerful defensive ninjutsu, Susanoo.
Iwagakure simply had no way to resist this person, so his choice was also obvious, if he didn't want the entire village to die.
Struggling to speak out, he said, "I'm willing to submit to you."
Kitsuchi looked at his father in his arms, and to his surprise, his father actually agreed to submit to the other party.
His heart was also filled with pain and helplessness.
Who was his father? He was the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and now he was doing such a disgraceful thing.
In the ninja world, there probably hadn't been such a disgraceful act before.
But he also understood, this was something that couldn't be helped. This guy was simply too powerful. If they resisted, Iwagakure would be annihilated. His father was protecting Iwagakure.
Ryosuke, upon hearing this, had a smile at the corner of his mouth. As expected, he had hit the opponent's sore spot.
"Actually, it's not that I want to threaten you. Obediently submitting to me is surely better than having Iwagakure wiped off the map, right?"
"Onoki, don't you agree?"
Onoki lowered his head helplessly, looking at the massive pit he was in, and could only agree, "Yes."
This guy wasn't bluffing. He really had a way to erase Iwagakure from the map.
If he stubbornly resisted, it could cause the deaths of tens of thousands of ninjas in the village. Then he would be the sinner of Iwagakure.
Thinking this way, he actually felt lucky for making such a decision.
Thankfully, he hadn't acted rashly and resisted to the end.
Ryosuke continued, "Since you've chosen to submit, then Iwagakure should also submit to me, right? What do you think?"
Onoki sighed. He clearly understood this guy's true intention, he obviously also included the village behind him, Iwagakure.
He said, "Please rest assured, my lord, I will persuade them."
Ryosuke was very pleased. "Very good. As the Third Tsuchikage, since you've submitted to me, the others probably won't have any objections either, right?"
Onoki could only helplessly say, "Don't worry, there will definitely be no objections. If anyone dares to have objections, I'll personally deal with them."
Having witnessed this lord's methods, he now had no thoughts of resistance at all. If anyone in the village dared to resist, that would truly bring disaster to the village. That was something he could not allow.
Ryosuke was very satisfied with Onoki's words. It seemed this guy's backbone had already been completely broken, and he was even quite obedient.
Looking at Kurotsuchi in his hands, he said, "From now on, your granddaughter will follow me. You have no objections, right?"
Onoki's face darkened when he heard this. Was this guy afraid that he'd rebel after agreeing? So he wanted to take his granddaughter as a hostage.
Honestly, he still felt very unwilling in his heart. He promised, "My lord, I absolutely will not betray you.
Please let my granddaughter go."
Maybe in the beginning he had been very dissatisfied, but from now on, whenever he thought of today's scene, of this terrifying destructive power, his heart probably wouldn't have any thoughts of resistance.
It felt like even his backbone was gone, and he no longer had the ambitious spirit he once did. Maybe it was because he had witnessed such a transcendent power.
This kind of person couldn't be defeated by numbers or schemes. He absolutely shouldn't harbor any wishful thinking.
If he angered the other party and was retaliated against, it would probably be disastrous.
And Ryosuke looked at the promising Onoki. "I don't need you to question what I do."
Who knew if this old man would develop thoughts of rebellion later, or simply not obey his commands? These were all very possible, but with Kurotsuchi around, if this guy ever developed rebellious thoughts or didn't follow orders, he'd have to consider Kurotsuchi's situation.
Of course, he also wanted to raise Kurotsuchi well, develop feelings, and in the future have children to get luxurious treasure chest rewards.
Onoki felt very aggrieved hearing the other party's words. This guy was truly treating him like a subordinate.
But he didn't dare resist anymore, for fear of angering the other party. If their positions were reversed, he would've done the same. There were countless examples of betrayal in the ninja world.
This was the only way to have a guarantee. No matter how much more he tried to argue, it wouldn't change the other party's mind.
At this moment, Kitsuchi struggled physically. He couldn't even protect his own daughter.
"No! If you want to take my daughter, you'll have to get past me first!"
Ryosuke looked at Kitsuchi, and directly activated a genjutsu with the Rinnegan.
Kitsuchi's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed backward.
Onoki, who was in his arms, fell to the ground, his face showing pain.
This guy used genjutsu again, just like what he did to his two subordinates earlier. A terrifying genjutsu, those eyes would trap whoever they stared at.
These eyes seemed to be the evolved version of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Genjutsu was the symbol of the Sharingan, and the Rinnegan had even more powerful genjutsu.
'Could the Uchiha clan be descendants of the Sage of Six Paths? This guy must've awakened his ancestor's Rinnegan.'
Of course, that was just his guess. Maybe it was true.
Now, they really couldn't stop this person anymore. That heaven-falling, devastating move might also be a special ability of the Rinnegan.
And now, with the Rinnegan's powerful genjutsu, even though Kitsuchi lacked some combat power, he was still trapped instantly, enough to show how powerful the genjutsu was. Rather, it was the eyes themselves that were terrifying.
"My lord, take Kurotsuchi with you. Please take good care of her."
