To maintain their secrecy, the Ninja of Hidden Waterfall Village rarely ventured outside, so many of them were unaware of what had been happening in the Ninja World in recent years.
When they heard Shinji say that Uchiha Yuzuru alone had defeated ten thousand Shinobi Alliance Ninja, their first reaction was disbelief.
After all, in their understanding, no matter how strong a Ninja was, there were limits.
Ten thousand Ninja, even if each spat a mouthful of water, could drown someone.
It was only when the other Jonin of Hidden Waterfall Village also stepped forward to confirm Shinji's statement that the Ninja of Hidden Waterfall Village gasped, a look of relief in their eyes.
Fortunately, they hadn't made any impulsive moves just now, otherwise, their mere hundred-plus people probably wouldn't have been enough for him to kill.
Seeing everyone quiet down, Shinji turned his gaze back to Uchiha Yuzuru.
This time, a fawning smile appeared on his face: "Lord Yuzuru, what brings you to our Hidden Waterfall Village this time?"
Uchiha Yuzuru said indifferently: "I'm just here to inform you that from now on, Hidden Waterfall Village and the Land of Waterfalls will be merged into the Land of Lightning, and I will send people to govern them uniformly."
Just as expected... Shinji sighed inwardly.
The moment he knew Uchiha Yuzuru's identity, he had already guessed this possibility.
Seeing Shinji's silence, Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow: "I've finished speaking, do any of you have any objections?"
Hearing this, Shinji gave a bitter smile: "Lord Yuzuru, we will follow all your arrangements."
Not to mention the powerful Hidden Cloud Village behind Uchiha Yuzuru, even if it were just Uchiha Yuzuru alone, Hidden Waterfall Village would not be able to resist.
Not accepting would probably only lead to death...
"By the way, Lord Yuzuru," Shinji asked cautiously, "who do you plan to send to our Hidden Waterfall Village?"
Uchiha Yuzuru pointed to Kakuzu beside him: "From now on, the affairs of the Land of Waterfalls and Hidden Waterfall Village will temporarily be handled by Kakuzu."
As his voice fell, Shinji and the Ninja of Hidden Waterfall Village all showed expressions of anger.
Let a Rogue Ninja from Hidden Waterfall Village rule over them?
Wasn't this an insult to them?
Finally, a Jonin from Hidden Waterfall Village angrily said: "Don't think we will be as willing to be manipulated as other small countries; the heritage of Hidden Waterfall Village is not something they can compare to!"
After speaking, he took out a transparent glass vial from his In my arms and drank the liquid inside.
"Yao Hu!"
Shinji wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
As Yao Hu drank the liquid, his Qi began to surge dramatically.
Under the effect of the powerful force, Yao Hu's strong body became engorged with veins, and his entire skin turned blood-red.
"It's the Hero's Water, Yao Hu drank the Hero's Water!"
"This is too reckless. Although the Hero's Water can increase one's strength by dozens of times, it will cause irreversible damage to the body. Once the energy of the Hero's Water is exhausted, Yao Hu will be dead."
"It would be good if he could actually last that long. According to the Village records, most people who drink the Hero's Water will directly explode."
"Good job, Yao Hu! You must hold on! Let this arrogant fellow see the true power of our Hidden Waterfall Village Ninja!"
The Ninja of Hidden Waterfall Village rekindled their hope.
If he could withstand the erosion of the Hero's Water, then Yao Hu's strength would be greatly enhanced in a short period.
Yao Hu was already a Jonin, and with the blessing of the Hero's Water, he might really be able to defeat this guy named Uchiha Yuzuru.
Even if it still couldn't change the fact of being conquered by the Land of Lightning, at least it would prevent the other party from making such insulting demands.
Under everyone's anticipation, Yao Hu raised his head and roared, then a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
"Hahahahaha... Is this the power of the Hero's Water? It's truly powerful."
"Now I am omnipotent. Go regret your arrogance!"
After Yao Hu finished speaking, the Chakra on his body erupted again, and the powerful Chakra fluctuation made everyone in Hidden Waterfall Village tremble with fear.
This aura no longer resembled a human; it was simply a Vicious Beast!
"Die!"
With a furious shout, Yao Hu's figure instantly disappeared from his original spot.
The terrifying speed once again made the Ninja of Hidden Waterfall Village open their mouths in astonishment.
So fast!
With Yao Hu's current strength, he would definitely win this battle!
In just an instant, Yao Hu had already arrived in front of Uchiha Yuzuru, raising his right arm high.
Bang!
As Yao Hu's fist landed, a wave of Qi rushed out, instantly stirring up a strong wind.
Immediately after, a shrill scream rang out, and a dark figure flew backward like a cannonball.
Boom!
The hard rock wall was directly smashed with dense cracks. Yao Hu was embedded in the rock wall with his head slumped, having already lost the aura of life.
"Yao Hu... dead?!"
"How is that possible? Yao Hu drank the Hero's Water!"
"He killed the enhanced Yao Hu with just one blow. Is this guy really still human?"
The sudden turn of events happened too quickly, leaving everyone in Hidden Waterfall Village stunned.
No one expected that Yao Hu, on whom they had placed high hopes, would die so easily at Uchiha Yuzuru's hands.
Uchiha Yuzuru's power had exceeded their comprehension.
Was this the true worth of someone who once defeated ten thousand Shinobi Alliance Ninja alone?
Even Kakuzu couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
He saw very clearly that Uchiha Yuzuru had just used only the strength of his physical body to send Yao Hu flying with one punch.
Even if he wasn't a sensory Ninja, Kakuzu could clearly feel that in terms of physical strength alone, Uchiha Yuzuru was probably even more terrifying than the Third Raikage.
"Does anyone else have any objections?"
Uchiha Yuzuru's tone was still calm, but it made all the Ninja of Hidden Waterfall Village lower their heads.
Shinji wiped the sweat from his face and was the first to kneel on the ground: "Hidden Waterfall Village is willing to obey all of Lord Yuzuru's arrangements."
With Shinji leading the way, the rest of the Hidden Waterfall Village Ninja also knelt down in submission.
Even Yao Hu, who had drunk the Hero's Water, was killed so easily; their continued resistance would be futile.
Being ridden over and shat upon by others was better than dying.
Seeing this, Uchiha Yuzuru nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, then this matter is settled."
"If anyone still doesn't cooperate, then don't blame me for going on a rampage."
Hearing this, the people of Hidden Waterfall Village bowed their heads even lower.
Seeing their obedient appearance, Uchiha Yuzuru did not press further, but softened his tone and said: "Actually, even if Kakuzu is made the leader, you don't need to feel humiliated."
"There were actually other hidden circumstances regarding the events of that year, and Kakuzu's defection from Hidden Waterfall Village was also out of necessity."
