Upon hearing this, the Raikage understood. No wonder he felt that several months ago Setsuna wasn't much stronger than him, yet now had left him far behind.
"So it seems I also count as his powerful enemy." A felt somewhat comforted.
The Third Mizukage, however, looked bewildered, 'Was Uchiha Madara also considered a powerful enemy?'
He felt Setsuna had been thoroughly beating Madara from start to finish.
After pondering a moment, the Third Mizukage sighed: 'It must be that my level is insufficient to accurately judge the situation back then.'
"I don't believe it! How can there be a monster like you?" Satori truly crumbled. It thought it was overtaking on a curve, only to find the other party could overtake even better.
"Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. Today, we absolutely cannot allow you, monster, to rampage through the Ninja World any longer!" Setsuna declared righteously, pushing his speed and strength to the extreme.
Satori predicted Setsuna's attack again, but Setsuna's speed was simply too fast. Satori couldn't even react before being punched in the jaw.
The immense impact force snapped its head violently backward, its neck twisting out of shape.
Satori spat black blood, its body flying uncontrollably backwards.
But before it could land, Setsuna's figure was already blocking its escape route again.
A sweeping roundhouse kick almost severed Satori's waist.
Its body flew sideways like a rag, crashing through three buildings consecutively, finally smashing heavily into the ground, plowing a trench dozens of meters long.
Fortunately, the surrounding crowds had already been evacuated by Anbu, so Satori couldn't take hostages even if it wanted to.
'If this continues, I'll die here.' Satori coughed blood frantically, the horror in its eyes could no longer be concealed.
It struggled to get up, trying to respond. But as it abruptly looked up, what it saw was a mountain-like axe kick.
Satori's body was hammered entirely underground. Even though Setsuna was trying his best to restrain his power, the ground within a hundred-meter radius still instantly collapsed, spiderweb-like cracks spreading madly outward.
Amidst the swirling dust, Satori's throat emitted a beast-like growl. Pitch-black chakra suddenly erupted.
With a roar, Satori's body abruptly expanded threefold. Twisted bone spikes grew from its back. Drool dripped from its mouth, corroding the ground and producing wisps of white smoke.
"Eat... eat you!" Satori seemed to have abandoned intelligence in exchange for some kind of savage power.
It roared, swinging its claws to tear at Setsuna.
But the next moment, Satori's claws froze mid-air, easily caught by a hand.
Don Slime frantically tempted within the Gourmet Space: "Setsuna, why not try eating it? I've never eaten this kind of creature."
Setsuna was full of disgust: "Even for an adventurous eater, eating this thing is a bit too much."
To prevent Don Slime from uttering more shocking statements, Setsuna went all out. He grabbed Satori, swung it, and smashed it viciously into the ground.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After multiple consecutive heavy blows, Satori's roars grew weaker, until it finally lay limp like mud.
Ninjas from the great Ninja Villages watched, shivering.
'So brutal. Such a powerful monster was actually bashed to death by the Hokage-sama.'
Finally, Satori's dark body dissipated like dust, leaving only the initial body it had possessed.
"This is... Sasori!" Rasa couldn't believe it. This was actually Sasori, who had disappeared after Sunagakure's destruction.
'So he was the one who truly opened the Box of Ultimate Bliss.' Setsuna understood. He had wondered before where Kusagakure obtained the massive Chakra needed to open the box.
But if the opener was Sasori, that made sense. Sasori's core could allow him to continuously provide Chakra. Though not as fast as a Tailed Beast, its persistence might surpass ordinary Tailed Beasts.
"So, so-called eternity doesn't exist?" Sasori seemed to awaken from a long slumber, sighing. "The Box of Ultimate Bliss's wish isn't reliable either."
"Sasori, true eternity lies in the human spirit, in the will passed down through generations. I am now forging that kind of eternity." Setsuna attempted persuasion.
"Eternal spirit without eternal matter?" Sasori's eyes were confused. "Perhaps you are right. Pity I cannot see that day."
With these words, Sasori's puppet body shattered into pieces, scattering across the ground.
"Take Sasori's remains back to Elder Chiyo." Setsuna patted Rasa's shoulder, then instructed the Anbu to compensate nearby villagers for damages.
"Alright, the first agenda item is resolved. Let's continue the meeting."
After this 'small' interlude, the meeting proceeded unusually smoothly.
First, the meeting established a world conference system, with Setsuna serving as the first president.
Afterwards, the congress passed five resolutions.
First: Restrict Ninja's power. Jutsu cannot be used arbitrarily against ordinary people. Correspondingly, ordinary people should also show due respect to the strong.
Second: Establish additional Ninja Schools. Children of appropriate age should attend school to complete compulsory education. Strive to promote Chakra as the primary productive force and attempt to integrate science and Jutsu.
Third: Ninja School's curriculum shouldn't only focus on combat. Ideological education should occupy the majority. Avoid creating powerful but ideologically immature extremist misanthropes.
Fourth: While promoting Chakra for daily life, cannot abandon militarization. Increase martial spirit, enhance military combat capability to deal with potential external enemies.
Fifth: Conduct harmless handling of some historical issues in various countries, like Hoshigakure's meteor, and the apparitions in the Land of Demons and the Land of Swamps.
Regarding these five resolutions, although there were minor details some couldn't fully comprehend, the conference attendees unanimously expressed support.
After the congress concluded, Setsuna invited the two great clans' heads, Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi, to a private meeting in a meeting room.
Setsuna said: "Hiashi-san, I hope the Konoha under my leadership should demonstrate mutual care, unity, and friendliness."
Hiashi quickly responded: "Naturally. Not only Konoha, but the entire Ninja World will flourish under Hokage-sama's leadership."
Setsuna suddenly sighed: "But your Hyuga Clan's behavior makes me very troubled. Even brothers engage in fratricide. How can I present Konoha as a model for the Ninja World?"
Facing Setsuna's discipline, Hiashi broke into a sweat: "Hokage-sama, you exaggerate. The main family might indeed bully the branch family somewhat, but it certainly hasn't reached fratricide."
Setsuna's tone was meaningful: "So, I am wrong?"
"Of course not! Hokage-sama could never be wrong." Hiashi hastily said. "The error lies with the Caged Bird, which has caused Hokage-sama some misunderstanding about us. I will reform immediately upon returning, abolishing the Caged Bird completely."
"That's the right attitude." Setsuna nodded. "Look at the Uchiha. Why aren't they worried about Sharingan loss?"
Fugaku smiled slightly: "That's because if anyone dares plunder the Sharingan, our entire clan will rise up to attack. Over time, naturally no one dares privateer the Sharingan."
Setsuna nodded: "Konoha is your backing. If anyone dares seize your Kekkei Genkai, report to the village. I will pursue them to the ends of the earth."
Hiashi felt deeply moved, experiencing such forceful support for the first time: "We were too narrow-minded. I will definitely reform upon returning."
After disciplining the Hyuga, Setsuna looked at the Uchiha: "Fugaku-san, your Uchiha must have rebellious thoughts, right?"
If Hiashi was only sweating profusely, Fugaku was downright horrified at this moment: "No! We absolutely have no such intention."
"There are no walls without cracks. I know very well what your Uchiha think."
Fugaku felt as if struck by lightning, 'Could there be a spy among the clansmen?'
But during that meeting, he had clearly expressed support for Setsuna. It was just that the Hokage's election proceeded too smoothly, so the Uchiha didn't even have time to show support before Setsuna secured the Hokage;s position.
Seeing Fugaku's extreme unease, Hiashi, who just felt targeted, felt a wave of retrospective fear. He realized that happiness truly comes from comparison.
Setsuna reassured him: "Don't worry. I'm not holding accountable your historical issues. For your clan to have such thoughts… Konoha also bears unshirkable responsibility."
"What's important is to change. I won't take back the Military Police Force's authority. But starting today, you must gradually recruit Ninja from other clans. The Military Police cannot be your Uchiha's one voice only."
"Secondly, I will have Minato assist in providing law enforcement education for the Military Police. We must enforce the law with strength, serve with warmth, and supervise with restraint. A big reason the Uchiha are excluded by the village is your arrogance. During law enforcement, you left a very bad impression. This must be reformed."
Fugaku was listening, stunned. He initially thought Setsuna was using the Uchiha to establish authority. He never expected Setsuna was genuinely thinking for them, for Konoha.
Fugaku was both moved and ashamed. He immediately stated: "Hokage-sama, rest assured. We Uchiha will definitely become your most loyal force."
Hiashi beside him also quickly expressed his stance: "Our Hyuga Clan is the same."
