Chapter 171 – The Power to Shake the Ninja World
"Good."
The corners of Uchiha Madara's mouth curled slightly as he spoke indifferently,
"A wise choice."
"Ugh…"
Hearing that, Onoki's cheeks twitched, and he shook his head helplessly.
In the past, he had no choice. Now that he finally does, he can only choose to submit to Madara Uchiha. With Madara's power, he might have a chance to defeat the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta.
"Make sure the Four-Tails' Jinchūriki, Roshi, returns to Iwagakure," Madara added calmly.
"The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, is collecting tailed beasts. We absolutely cannot allow the Four-Tails to fall into Konoha's hands."
"Collecting the Tailed Beasts?"
Onoki frowned, glanced at Madara, and showed a confused expression.
"That's right…"
Madara's eyes were cold as he continued,
"Uchiha Yuta intends to gather all Nine Tailed Beasts to revive the legendary Ten Tails."
"The… Ten Tails?"
This time, not only Onoki but even the high-ranking officials of Iwagakure—including Kurotsuchi and Kitsuchi—were stunned.
What the hell is the Ten Tails?
Does collecting all the Tailed Beasts really allow someone to resurrect such a thing?
> "The Ten Tails possesses the power to destroy the world,"
Madara said indifferently. "If Uchiha Yuta succeeds, not only will Konoha dominate the entire ninja world, but Yuta himself will become truly invincible."
Boom!!
They may not understand everything…
But that single point—that Uchiha Yuta could become invincible—was all Onoki needed to hear.
His old body trembled violently, and he collapsed to the ground in fear.
Of course…
Madara hadn't told them one crucial detail:
The Outer Path Gedo Statue is still in his hands.
So even if Uchiha Yuta manages to gather all Nine Tailed Beasts, he still can't revive the Ten Tails without it.
"Oh, and I forgot to mention—"
The masked man, Uchiha Obito, suddenly added,
"Kumogakure has already surrendered. The Fourth Raikage will even offer up the corpses of the First, Second, and Third Raikages as tribute."
Swirl!!
With a spiral of space-time distortion, Madara Uchiha and the masked man disappeared from Onoki's office.
---
Silence.
Complete dead silence.
The entire room was frozen in place.
Whether it was the stunned Onoki lying on the floor, or the dumbfounded senior officials of Iwagakure—Kurotsuchi, Kitsuchi, and others—they simply couldn't process what had just occurred.
No wonder…
What Madara Uchiha and Uchiha Obito just revealed was utterly earth-shattering:
Konoha is collecting the Tailed Beasts to revive the Ten Tails.
Kumogakure, one of the great nations, has already surrendered.
That meant Iwagakure wasn't the first to bow before Madara…
Suddenly, their own submission didn't seem so humiliating anymore.
"I really didn't expect even Kumogakure would surrender to Madara Uchiha…"
"Yeah, just what exactly is Madara Uchiha trying to achieve?"
"The shinobi world is about to descend into chaos… Konoha will be destroyed."
"We must prevent the revival of the Ten Tails. Get Roshi back to Iwagakure immediately!"
The room slowly stirred as the high-level officials of Iwagakure stood up one by one.
They looked at each other and saw the same firm resolve reflected in each other's eyes.
"Iwagakure is entering wartime alert once again!"
Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, declared coldly, eyes filled with iron determination.
"Now that Madara Uchiha has returned, Konoha will surely fall—and the so-called Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, will be crushed without a trace!"
"So we, Iwagakure, must prepare to move!"
Even as he said this, Onoki's heart was full of anticipation and excitement.
Not long ago, he was convinced that Konoha was unstoppable, and that Uchiha Yuta was undefeatable.
But now—with the legendary Madara Uchiha on their side—he finally dared to hope.
With Madara's strategy and strength, even Uchiha Yuta can be defeated.
"Understood!"
Hearing this, the senior officers of Iwagakure—Kurotsuchi, Kitsuchi, and others—all responded solemnly.

Meanwhile…
Kirigakure, the Hidden Mist Village
Above a towering tree overlooking the fog-shrouded landscape…
"It really lives up to its name,"
Uchiha Yuta muttered, watching the mist-covered Hidden Mist Village from above.
He activated Observation Haki (Kenbunshoku Haki) and began scanning the environment around Kirigakure.
After leaving Takigakure, and giving Tsunade instructions on her next assignments, he came here.
Why?
Simple—
To check in.
A few seconds later, after sweeping the area with his Observation Haki, Yuta calmly said:
> "System, check in—Kirigakure."
One second… ten seconds… thirty seconds…
Finally, after a full minute—
Ding!
> "Congratulations, host. Check-in location: Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village) activated."
"Congratulations! You have successfully checked in at Kirigakure."
"Reward: Power of Yin-Yang obtained."
"The reward has been delivered to the system space. Due to the host's overwhelming strength, the Power of Yin-Yang will be fully compatible and usable with no side effects."
