Koshiki and Shibai were now very interested in Sasuke Uchiha.
They hadn't expected such a formidable clansman to still exist in this world.
Although the Uchiha clan's bloodline was dominant in Sasuke Uchiha's body, it was undeniable that Sasuke had also absorbed a large amount of the Ōtsutsuki clan's power.
From Koshiki and Shibai's perspective, Sasuke Uchiha was also a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan, and a rather outstanding one at that.
At this moment, Sasuke stood tall on the battlefield.
Everyone cast fearful gazes at him.
The previous attack had completely astounded everyone.
They had never imagined that someone could unleash such an attack.
Sasuke's strength was so great that it even extinguished any thoughts of resistance.
And at this moment, Naruto spoke.
"Kage, let the battle end here!"
Naruto wanted to stop this battle; after all, it seemed a victor had been decided by now.
In reality, there was no real victory or defeat, only differing opinions that had led to some minor disputes.
However, the battles that had erupted due to these disputes had basically come to a conclusion.
The purpose of everyone's battle wasn't really to determine a winner, but rather to understand each other's strength.
Although some might have obtained information beforehand, these Kage here!
Who among them wasn't unruly and arrogant?
Before they truly fought, before they truly clashed, who would submit to whom?
Obviously not.
So this battle was also necessary.
But now, Sasuke's earth-shattering move meant there was no need to continue fighting.
And the Kage didn't refute Naruto's words at all, all tacitly agreeing with Naruto's decision.
After all, even the Sage of Six Paths had just said that the pinnacle of the ninja world, Sasuke Uchiha, was precisely Konoha's ninja.
With such combat power present, who would dare to disobey!
However, at this moment, the Kage still felt unwilling.
To bow down to Konoha just like that?
Each of them was a ninja who had dominated an era, all top-tier existences.
But they had to bow their heads to others; few Kage could accept this feeling.
But circumstances were stronger than people; they had no choice but to bow their heads!
The Kage lowered their noble heads. This action, though small.
But everyone understood very clearly what it represented.
Mifune was also very surprised.
For so many years, this was the first time he had seen such a situation in the ninja world. Even the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, back then hadn't made the Kage of the various villages bow their heads.
And now, Konoha had not only made the Kage of the various villages bow their heads, but all the Kage throughout history.
Such a situation made people sigh endlessly.
Perhaps the ninja world was truly about to be unified!
From now on, only one voice would be heard in the ninja world, and that voice was 'Konoha!'
The changes brought about by the change of eras were incomparably huge.
The giant wheel of the era was pushing everyone forward.
After a long silence, Sasuke dispelled the Four Red Yang Formation, and at this moment, the First Raikage looked at Naruto.
"Konoha's Sixth Hokage!"
"May I make a request!"
His tone was now one of discussion.
From his tone, it could be heard that the First Raikage had already acknowledged the changes of the era.
Naruto nodded. "Speak!"
"I hope, in the future, the story of the Hidden Cloud Village can still be heard. I hope to continue seeing the Hidden Cloud Village standing tall in the ninja world, even if this village might not belong to..."
As the Raikage was speaking, suddenly, a puff of white smoke appeared.
All the Akatsuki members disappeared.
They were summoned away right under everyone's noses.
Instantly, everyone's expressions froze.
They stared in astonishment at the scene before them. These guys who had been trapped by Sasuke were actually summoned away.
The cost of a reverse summoning was considerably huge.
And it couldn't be performed anytime, anywhere.
Could it be that these people had prepared for this long ago?
Impossible!
Who would prepare in advance for defeat.
Even if they had prepared in advance, to reverse summon so many people would require an unknown amount of chakra.
With that kind of strength, they would probably be qualified to contend with Sasuke.
However, the other party didn't show themselves, which indicated many problems.
And in the next second, a familiar figure appeared again.
Even Sasuke was surprised.
"Deva Path Pain?"
Hadn't he been finished off by him?
How did he reappear?
Nagato, controlling the Deva Path Pain, appeared only to say one thing.
"Sasuke Uchiha, you are indeed excessively strong!"
"I didn't expect that I've become so much stronger, yet I still have no power to fight back against you!"
Hearing this, Sasuke sneered.
"Really? Haven't you not even shown your main body?"
"Why don't you bring out your main body and we'll try? Perhaps you might even be able to kill me, who knows!"
Sasuke had just been trying to find Nagato's main body, but strangely, he couldn't find it at all.
With Sasuke's current sensory abilities, nothing within a few thousand meters could escape his perception.
Yet Nagato didn't exist.
This meant that Nagato was controlling these Pains from a farther distance or a more special space.
In that case, it would be even harder to find him.
That's why he said this, preparing to provoke Nagato a bit, to see if he could make Nagato show himself.
However, the Deva Path Pain smiled. "Knowing you're no match, yet still coming to die?"
"I wouldn't do such a thing!"
Sasuke snorted coldly.
However, the Deva Path Pain continued, "But, rest assured, next time we meet, I will definitely give you a surprise!"
He sighed softly!
Nagato was a bit helpless now; he hadn't accomplished what he had promised Jigen.
He hadn't been able to display the power of Scientific Ninja Tools in front of the Kage, so he couldn't get their support.
But there was no other way; Sasuke's strength completely exceeded his estimations.
Under these circumstances, he was helpless.
The Deva Path Pain raised his hand and waved at Sasuke. "Goodbye! Sasuke Uchiha!"
After speaking, the Deva Path Pain once again blatantly disappeared in front of everyone.
He turned into a puff of white smoke and dissipated on the spot.
However, what Nagato didn't know was.
Although he was defeated, he had shown the Kage a glimmer of hope.
A hope of defeating Sasuke. To be able to retreat unscathed from Sasuke also signified strength.
If they obtained the power of Scientific Ninja Tools, as long as they could ensure their safe retreat, then they would have the ability to resist.
Thinking of this, the Kages' eyes lit up again.
Naruto looked at Sasuke. "The Akatsuki members are not easy to deal with, Sasuke!"
Hearing this, Sasuke nodded, but what Sasuke was worried about now was not Akatsuki but... the other villages.
The First Raikage was the first to speak.
"Konoha's Sixth Hokage, it seems today's talks should end here. My Hidden Cloud Village will fully consider what the Sixth Hokage said before."
"But for now! We want to return to the Hidden Cloud Village to rest for a bit!"
"The battle has also made us very tired!"
Hearing this, Naruto immediately felt that things were bad. If one person took the lead, the others would follow!
"Us too, we will consider it carefully. Farewell!"
As the Kage left, Naruto also gave a helpless, bitter smile.
Had he... failed after all...
