Chapter 180 White Zetsu?
This time, Souji went to the Land of Iron to capture the daimyo of the four countries, and he went alone again.
Although no one could do anything about his actions against the daimyo, he would still bear the infamy behind the scenes.
Many people would condemn him for destroying the ninja traditions, committing insubordination, and deposing the daimyo as his lord, making him the most unforgivable traitor in history.
Therefore, it is best if no one else is involved in this matter.
In any case, the daimyo of Shikoku is inevitable.
Whether they were guardian ninjas or samurai from the Land of Iron, they were all utterly powerless in the face of his absolute strength.
"Once I've sorted out these matters, I should be ready to officially become Hokage."
"With my absolute strength and the prestige of being the Hokage, I should be able to unify the ninja world very soon."
"After dealing with the initial matters in the ninja world, I'll go to the underworld and fill my reputation with millions of accolades."
"With the absolute power to win, we can resolve the issues with Madara, the Divine Tree, and Kaguya."
"This is the biggest hidden danger in the ninja world.
Only by completely resolving it can we develop peacefully with peace of mind."
On the way to the Land of Iron, Souji planned a series of things that he had to do next.
With all these things accomplished, a peaceful era will begin where we can focus on developing the ninja world.
Although Kaguya has the Otsutsuki clan behind her.
The Otsutsuki clan is an incredibly powerful race of life forms in the universe.
Even though Kaguya ate the chakra fruit of the God Tree and gained a huge amount of energy from an entire planet, she was still a minor figure in the Otsutsuki clan.
According to the original timeline, the Otsutsuki clan would send people to this planet because Kaguya had not handed over the planet's energy for a long time and even lost contact with the people there.
Each member of the Otsutsuki clan could easily overwhelm a Kage-level opponent.
However, firstly, if things hadn't changed because of his influence, it would have been decades later; secondly...
For someone with such extraordinary abilities, the arrival of a few Otsutsuki clan members was simply a matter of being delivered to their doom.
Let alone a few individuals, even if the entire Otsutsuki clan came, the result would likely be the same.
The Otsutsuki clan is indeed a powerful civilization on a cosmic scale, and even Kaguya is far superior to its most outstanding members.
But no matter how powerful it is... can it be stronger than a system that manipulates causality?
With such a powerful advantage, even a cosmic-level civilization would be no threat to him.
Soon, Ryunosuke carried Souji to the Land of Iron.
The castle of the Iron Kingdom is protected by four walls, one of which is a pyramid-shaped castle with a very unique appearance.
As before, the guards, upon discovering the enormous celestial dragon, immediately cried out for retreat.
A large number of warriors then frantically attempted to defend themselves, only to find that they were powerless against the dragon soaring in the sky.
Souji smiled and used his senses to immediately locate the daimyo of the four countries.
Of the four, one was drinking, one was playing cards, and one was fast asleep.
Just like in the original story during the Fourth Shinobi World War, while the ninjas outside were fighting tooth and nail and causing widespread destruction, the daimyo could still live a carefree life.
After all, this is a samurai's castle, unlike a daimyo's castle.
Therefore, this time, Souji did not let Ryunosuke destroy the castle directly.
Instead, he jumped down himself and entered through the castle tower.
"It's Mochizuki Souji!"
"That madman!"
"Kill him!"
Because of the example of the daimyo of the Land of Fire, many castles, including the castle tower, were guarded by daimyo-protected ninjas.
When they saw Souji appear, they all launched an attack on him.
However, the next moment.
Puff puff puff!
A series of sounds rang out as kunai pierced flesh.
Thanks to the system's rewards, the hand seals have been simplified to the extreme.
Souji only needs to clap his hands to cast the Kunai Shadow Clone Technique.
Even if there are more than ten people here, it can be dealt with in an instant.
Souji followed the location of the daimyo he sensed and went down the stairs.
On the way, they encountered two more groups of guardian ninjas who came to provide support.
They all threw their kunai, clapped their hands together, and created kunai shadow clones to instantly kill the enemy.
Although there were still warriors from the Land of Iron in the castle, seeing that Souji could easily kill those powerful guardians, even the warriors known for their bravery and decisiveness dared not approach him easily.
The guardian ninjas who arrived later saw how terrifying Souji was, with all their colleagues in front of them instantly killed, so naturally they didn't dare to show themselves easily.
So, although there were quite a few people, no one dared to stop Souji anymore.
Until the leader of the samurai, Mifune, the general of the Land of Iron, appeared.
Mifune stood in front of Souji, his expression extremely grim, and he was on high alert.
"Mochizuki Souji! The Land of Iron is a neutral country!"
"You are the samurai general Mifune?"
Souji sized him up and smiled:
"By allowing the daimyo of the four countries to remain here, you've already deteriorated to the point of being somewhat neutral, and moreover..."
"I am about to unify the ninja world, and your Land of Iron will be no exception."
"I don't know why the Land of Iron was able to become a neutral country before, but that's not important.
It won't be anymore soon."
"I came here not only to help the daimyo of the four countries leave, but also to tell you this matter."
Hearing the so-called disregard from the commander, Mifune glared and roared:
"Arrogant!"
At the same time, with lightning speed, he drew his sword and slashed at Souji.
The samurai's signature technique, Iaijutsu!
However, Mifune's katana suddenly stopped just before Souji's attack.
Souji used his right thumb and forefinger to catch the samurai sword that Mifune had slashed out with.
Just a moment ago, Souji used Sage Mode, causing his physical abilities and martial arts skills to explode.
Mifune gritted his teeth and unleashed his power, but the katana remained completely still.
His full power was no match for the strength of Mochizuki Souji's two fingers!
"Think it through carefully, don't make futile resistance."
As Souji said this, he waved his arm and threw the katana and Mifune together outside the castle.
"snort!"
Although the upper levels of the castle are quite high, Mifune's strength allowed him to land safely and unharmed.
Mifune glanced up at the castle, his face grim, but he showed no intention of going up again.
He only dealt with the daimyo of the four countries because of the benefits he gained; he didn't actually become their subordinate.
Did he expect to risk his life for them?
Now that they've been thrown out of the game, there's a convenient way to back down and leave.
Mochizuki Souji did it on purpose, which at least saved him some face...
Seeing that Mifune wisely backed down, Souji was satisfied.
Samurai General Takefusa is strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Hanzo.
Although ninjas and samurai are somewhat different, he is undoubtedly a Kage-level figure.
Just like dealing with the Raikage, without using Sage Mode, it's really impossible to defeat such a character head-on.
However, it wasn't just Mifune.
Several other people in the castle caught Souji's attention.
"White Zetsu?"
