At this moment!
The martial arts tournament was in progress.
This time, everyone displayed their strongest abilities.
Miss Kaguya stunned everyone.
Quiet as a secluded orchid, moving like a startled rabbit.
Kaguya: This concubine is not a rabbit!
She swept through all enemies with overwhelming force, unleashing the accumulation of thousands of years.
"Not bad..."
Lucian's two words instantly turned the domineering Kaguya into a joyful little cutie.
Her laughter never stopped.
Kaguya fully displayed the tyrannical power of a Seven-Star level in the chakra system.
Seven Stars and the Six Paths.
Are different realms.
Next.
Hashirama vs Madara!
This battle was a clash of spiritual power, combat experience, Kekkei Genkai, and Schrift.
"Second hour of battle."
Lucian unfolded a Space-Time Barrier.
Accelerating the time flow of the battlefield.
Otherwise, knowing each other so well, they might not determine a winner even after fighting for months.
Fighting for months was not empty talk.
Six Paths level Kaguya with infinite chakra fought the Six Paths brothers for months. If not for being sealed, heaven knows how long they would have fought.
Similarly.
Lucian drew lessons from the characteristics of the Ten-Tails' chakra and completed some flaws in the spiritual power system.
Now.
Six Paths level spiritual power was nearly infinite.
Spiritual power not exhausted, stamina not drained, the two could keep fighting forever.
But. The foundation of the spiritual power system is Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure).
So if spiritual power couldn't play a decisive role, it ultimately depended on strength.
Inside the Space-Time Barrier.
After several months passed.
"Madara, you won..."
Hashirama's right leg disappeared, and he fell to the ground heavily injured, his eyes full of smiles.
Madara also had various injuries on his body, but he was furious: "Do I need you to let me win? Stand up for me!"
This bastard Hashirama!
Really pissed me, Madara, off!
His existence is denial. Can't he deny injuries and death? Deny it!
Hashirama said seriously: "In my heart, no one is more outstanding than you. I, Hashirama, am willing to call you the strongest!"
"Go to die!"
Using my, Madara's, words to show off again? Madara went up and punched and kicked him.
Hashirama simply rolled his eyes.
Ending this battle.
The battle between the two was breathtaking.
Although the Space-Time Barrier accelerated it.
But looking from the outside, the faster it accelerated, the more magnificent and powerful it appeared.
Making many people feel: I will never reach this realm in my life.
The other battles also took place within the Space-Time Barrier, accelerating, accelerating.
Very quickly.
Ten days passed in a hurry in the outside world!
The rest is omitted.
Top three: Kaguya, Madara, Hashirama!
Unsurprisingly.
The positions of Marshals of the three military branches would fall on these three.
Among the rest.
No dark horses were found.
What shocked the participating ninjas was that this was an open and transparent tournament watched by over a hundred thousand people.
The top thirty.
Were all from the Divine Holy Legion and the Holy Soldier units.
Starting from the thirty-first place.
Did the first ninja name appear: Third Raikage Ay!
Then straight to the forty-second place, the second ninja name appeared: Fourth Raikage Ay.
Forty-fourth place: Yagura!
Forty-sixth place: Rasa!
Forty-eighth place: Hyuga Hiashi!
Fifty-first place: Killer B!
Fifty-sixth place: Hozuki Mangetsu!
The ninjas couldn't believe it.
Even the original Third Raikage could only rank thirty-first?
That was an existence at the forefront even among the Five Kage.
Worldview collapsed.
The reason for the Alliance's crushing defeat was obvious: the Empire was too strong.
Third Raikage Ay smiled bitterly.
Those Holy Soldier Grand Captains had too much endurance; they were so hard to fight!
Namikaze Minato was surprised: "Kakashi, that AB Combination was from the South Gate Alliance, right? They survived?"
Kakashi shrugged: "Must have been lucky. When cleaning up the battlefield, they had one breath left. Sent away with those ninja captives, they actually pulled through."
Regarding this result.
The ninjas were shocked repeatedly.
But the Empire's elites were not satisfied.
Cultivated and trained for over a decade.
Except for those Grand Captains, not a single dark horse among the rest?
Couldn't beat people like the Third Raikage.
Should have been able to wear them down, right? Are your spiritual power, stamina, and skills just for show?
"Combat experience is a bit lacking..."
Ultimately, everyone attributed the reason to combat experience.
Yes.
The Holy Soldier units had only experienced two major wars in total: the parallel world and the main world.
The rest was daily training.
But now the Empire had no enemies.
Either go conquer the Otsutsuki clan, but the Otsutsuki are too strong, not the Holy Soldiers' turn.
Or...
Noticing the looks in many elites' eyes, Lucian spoke: "There will be plenty of opportunities for battle in the future."
"The result this time is as such."
"Everyone prepare yourselves. In five days, the nation will be officially founded!"
Lucian finished speaking and left.
Kaguya followed Lucian with a cheerful expression, her ruby eyes sparkling, seemingly looking forward to becoming a Marshal.
Everyone immediately started discussing.
"Congratulations Senior Madara, Senior Hashirama, congratulations in advance on becoming Marshals."
Many people offered their congratulations.
Although currently candidates.
But others really couldn't compare with the top three. The three Marshals of Army, Navy, and Air Force were basically set.
There was a female Marshal Kaguya.
It is said that His Majesty's guard looks powerful but is actually cute. Wonder what kind of scenery it will be when she becomes a Marshal.
Madara said casually: "Keep working hard together."
"Hope I don't become the Navy Marshal. Do I have to go fishing at sea? Hahahaha..." Hashirama laughed as he spoke.
Although there are pirates on the Ninja World's seas.
But those are petty thieves. If a Navy is formed, it would probably be the most leisurely job.
Hatake Sakumo pondered: "I don't understand. The Ninja World is unified, and the only external enemy left is the Otsutsuki. But why does His Majesty want to expand the military? Especially the Navy, it seems unnecessary."
Everyone pondered.
Jiraiya guessed: "The universe is so big, every planet has different landscapes. Maybe some planet is all ocean, with many islands and rampant pirates."
"Enemies aren't just the Otsutsuki; there are also local powerhouses on each planet."
Everyone suddenly realized.
It should be so.
Only caring about the Otsutsuki, but ignoring the local powerhouses of various planets.
Orochimaru spoke elegantly: "I also have a guess. His Majesty once mentioned other worlds to me, worlds truly distinct from the chakra system."
"Worlds beyond worlds!"
"Universes beyond universes!"
"Perhaps one day, His Majesty opens a passage to another world, and we will also have the opportunity to attack other worlds?"
Whoosh!
Everyone's heart shook.
His Majesty opens other worlds, and we attack?
A rush of hot blood surged to their hearts. Uchiha Madara was excited: "If it's really like that, that's too exciting."
"One world has unreasonable races like the Otsutsuki."
"Then other worlds must have powerhouses far surpassing the Otsutsuki."
Various emotions surfaced in everyone's hearts.
Other worlds?
How wonderful would that be?
Five days passed in a hurry!
The Empire had been under great construction, but today people were rushing to the Imperial Capital...
The Imperial Capital, True World City.
Expanded several times compared to before.
It could be called a true giant city.
"Ah, the Imperial Capital is so prosperous."
"So excited, heard we can see the great Majesty today."
"The ninjas of the past and us were too naive. But who could have said that His Majesty is an immortal existence?"
"With His Majesty here, the Empire will prosper forever!"
"Establishing a new nation officially today. The Invisible Empire was established over a decade ago, now unifying the Ninja World, wonder if the national title will change?"
"..."
People from far away from the Imperial Capital kept arriving to witness the establishment of the new Empire.
It was announced.
The entire Empire bids farewell to the past and looks forward to a new future.
It will also start from today.
The entire Ninja World officially enters the First Year of the Empire.
"Facts have proven how correct my decision to lead the Hyuga to join the Empire was..."
In a corner, Hyuga Hiashi was proud, also looking at the white-eyed woman beside him.
His wife.
Carrying a new life in her womb, to be born in a few months.
Specially brought her along to let the unborn child soak up some auspicious aura.
Maybe born with exceptional talent and taken as a disciple by some big shot in the Empire.
Not far away.
Little Itachi supported a woman: "Mother, be careful."
"It's okay, I can run three laps around the Imperial Capital without any problem..."
The woman chuckled, looking like a cheerful and bold woman.
Little Shisui beside her had his eyelid twitch; be careful of the child.
Itachi was silent for a moment.
Didn't check the gender of the child.
Whether it's Sasuke or Sasuko.
He would protect them for a lifetime.
Further away.
Might Gai wore the Holy Soldier uniform, looking resolutely at Kakashi not far away.
"Father, look. Hard work will definitely not betray people. One day, I will apply to His Majesty to resurrect you."
"Let's burn with youthful hot blood together!"
"..."
Kakashi glanced over, ignoring him.
Rookie recruit, still far off.
"Obito, what are you standing there for? Go maintain order."
The sudden words made Uchiha Obito shiver, immediately saluting: "Yes, Grand Captain!"
Since having his five limbs broken that day.
Obito was really scared and behaved.
This Grand Captain is a devil. If I become strong, I will definitely get back at him.
Must do.
"How lucky I am to survive..."
Third Raikage Ay sighed repeatedly.
Fourth Raikage Ay was silent, while Killer B was high: "You idiot, you bastard, hurry to the square, don't miss the time, oh yeah!"
Very quickly.
Countless people rushed to the Empire Square.
From the outside, the square was only a few thousand meters in size, but an inner space was arranged from the edge.
Inside the square's space.
Spanning a hundred miles, definitely not crowded.
Densely packed people stood there, looking at the nine hundred and ninety-nine-story high platform with eyes full of expectation and reverence, waiting for the descent of the sacred in their hearts.
On the high platform, Konan appeared.
"The Ninja World is unified. Effective immediately, calendars in all regions are unified, changed to the First Year of the Empire."
"All citizens of the Empire, build the Empire's beauty together!"
Without superfluous words, after finishing, Konan spoke respectfully:
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
When the brilliant holy light illuminated the square, everyone's heart surged.
He's coming, His Majesty is coming.
They half-knelt one after another, speaking respectfully.
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
