I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

In order to seize power, they even resorted to using the "Seal of the Extinction of the Root of Disaster".

This is not something a village leader should do; it's tantamount to actively splitting the village.

"Lady Tsunade, Danzo's way of doing things is truly baffling. If we let him continue, the village will inevitably fall into an even greater crisis."

Furthermore, he imprisoned Kushina, and to this day, I still don't know her condition. I'm extremely worried that Danzo might harm Kushina.

Minato Namikaze came with Tsunade, and sitting opposite her, he said with a worried expression.

Tsunade looked at him and reassured him, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to rescue Kushina. Your most important task now is to go to the battlefield to stabilize the situation and try to earn as many merits as possible."

She sent Minato Namikaze to the battlefield in the hope that he would become her weapon.

On one hand, it was indeed to stabilize the situation on the battlefield in Iwagakure, thereby boosting the overall morale of the village; on the other hand, it was also to prepare for the overthrow of Danzo.

She had actually already made preparations for overthrowing Danzo.

However, with the death of the older generation of clan leaders and their subsequent coma, Danzo seized most of their power.

This means that if she wants to overthrow Danzo, she has to start all over again.

The arrangement of Minato Namikaze was the first step in her plan.

If Minato Namikaze performs well on the battlefield, she will have the opportunity to push him to the position of commander-in-chief, thereby regaining some power.

In addition, she can also use Minato Namikaze to enhance her prestige and gain more support from higher-ups.

Tsunade was even thinking about how to break the "Tongue Trouble Seal".

Mito Uzumaki was a princess of the Uzumaki clan. As Mito Uzumaki's granddaughter, Tsunade naturally possessed the complete Uzumaki clan heritage.

I didn't have much interest in researching it before, but now...

Tsunade believed that as long as she could break the "Tongue Curse Extinction Seal," those high-ranking officials controlled by this cursed seal would surely be able to win over to her side.

"Lady Tsunade, many clan leaders and village officials have come to visit you."

Just as Tsunade was talking with Minato Namikaze, a servant rushed in to report.

"Oh? Let them in!" Upon hearing the servant's words, Tsunade's eyes flashed, and she immediately gave the order.

"Lady Tsunade, it seems that most of the villagers still trust you." Minato Namikaze's mood improved considerably after receiving Tsunade's promise to rescue Kushina, and he couldn't help but smile as he spoke to Tsunade.

"This is Danzo's own doing. He thought he could rule the village with the cursed seal, but he didn't realize that it would only push more people to my side." Tsunade sneered.

Soon, servants led several clan leaders, including Fugaku Uchiha, and high-ranking officials of Konoha to the living room.

What followed was naturally a close meeting with Danzo.

Hyuga clan.

"Clan leader, I've heard that many clan leaders, including the Uchiha, have visited Lady Tsunade. Should I also—"

"No need. Our priority now is to recuperate and rebuild our lives. The struggle for power is none of our concern."

Inside a training room resembling a dojo, a member of the Hyuga branch family rushed in to report to Hyuga Hiashi, who was sweating profusely as he practiced Gentle Fist against a specially made wooden stake.

Upon hearing the report from the Hyuga branch family members, Hyuga Hiashi continued his training without stopping, offering a brief response.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Hyuga family dared not say another word and respectfully withdrew from the training room.

Now let's look at Hyuga Hiashi.

Just like he is now cultivating peacefully.

Like Fugaku Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga not only survived the battle against the True Qi Shadow Clone, but also somehow acquired a new pair of Byakugan.

Bang bang bang~~~~

They slammed their palms repeatedly against the special wooden stake until finally, the Hyuga clan delivered a powerful blow that snapped the stake in two.

"Not enough, not enough." He braced himself on his knees, panting as he looked at the special wooden stake he had broken.

Hiashi Hyuga showed no joy whatsoever; instead, he was filled with resentment.

His resentment stemmed from his own weakness.

He did survive, but the Hyuga clan fell into its weakest state in a thousand years after that battle.

Even though some members of the Hyuga clan were not wiped out by Natsumi and her group because of the battlefield, they still lost most of their members.

Even the final looting severely reduced the wealth accumulated by the Hyuga clan over many years.

With such losses, the Hyuga clan can no longer compete with the Uchiha clan for the title of Konoha's strongest clan, and they are not much better off than even the Ino-Shika-Cho ninja clans.

Therefore, after recovering from his illness, Hiashi Hyuga summoned most of his clansmen back to their clan territory to recuperate.

At the same time, he began a rigorous training regimen.

The family suffered a devastating blow, his younger brother died, and his fiancée was arrested.

All of these factors fueled Hiashi Hyuga's unprecedented thirst for power.

"The family must change, at least the inheritance of the branch family must be liberated!" Hyuga Hiashi thought firmly, panting.

The current situation no longer allows the family to continue its internal strife.

To restore his family's former glory and even win back his fiancée from the Star Kingdom, he not only needs to become stronger himself, but also to lead his entire family to become stronger.

When Xia Rixing and her group captured most of the Hyuga clan members, it wasn't just harmful to the Hyuga clan; it also brought benefits to Hyuga Hiashi.

After all, most of the Hyuga clan members who stayed behind in the clan's territory were among them.

The capture of these Hyuga main family members allowed Hyuga Hiashi, the clan head, to truly seize control of the clan.

"A great victory, a great victory!"

"Have you seen today's announcement? We have successfully taken over the Land of Snow and the Land of Darkness."

"So fast! Although I had expected that the Land of Snow and the Land of Darkness would be no match for the Land of Stars, I never imagined that these two countries would be annexed by the Land of Stars so quickly!"

"By annexing the Land of Snow and the Land of Darkness, the Land of Stars can now rival the five great nations in terms of land area alone."

"Something's not right with the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, especially the Land of Earth. The Land of Wind at least has an alliance with the Land of Stars, so why didn't the Land of Earth react at all when the Land of Snow annexed it?"

"Why is there no response? I just came from the Land of Earth. I heard that when the Land of Stars attacked the Land of Snow, the Hidden Stone Village of the Land of Earth sent ninja troops to strengthen the border area with the Land of Snow. This was obviously to guard against the Land of Stars."

"Hehe, both the Land of Demons and the Land of Snow are adjacent to the Land of Earth. When the Land of Stars annexed the Land of Demons, the Land of Earth did nothing. Now that it has annexed the Land of Snow, the other side still hasn't made any move. It seems that the Land of Earth is quite wary of the Land of Stars."

"."

Star City.

The announcement sparked heated discussions among everyone in the city, from citizens of the Star Kingdom to visiting merchants and tourists.

Please give me some recommendations and monthly votes!

Chapter 189 Multifaceted Cultivation

Inside the Star Tower.

"Xia Rixing and Xie have sent back a message that, in order to stabilize the situation, they will temporarily remain in the Snow Country and the Dark Country to oversee the situation."

How is the reception?

"One-third of the territories of the two countries have been taken over. I have already deployed additional troops, and we will complete the full takeover as soon as possible."

"What's the reaction from Iwagakure?"

"Aside from strengthening the border defenses, Iwagakure has not taken any other actions for the time being."

“Onoki won’t just sit idly by and watch us expand. Even with Konoha holding us back, we still need to be on guard. Tell Natsumi to keep a close eye on the Land of Earth. If anyone from Iwagakure crosses the border into the Land of Snow, eliminate them immediately.”

"understand!"

Inside the office.

Naraku and Nonou discussed the war for a long time.

The successful conquest of the Land of Snow and the Land of Darkness is certainly something to celebrate.

But only when these two countries are truly absorbed and assimilated can the annexation be considered truly complete.

Both Naraku and Nonou remained calm.

While the two were making arrangements for the takeover of the Land of Snow and the Land of Darkness, they were also on guard against the Iwagakure Village interfering.

The Land of Wind can be dealt with with ease because both Yekura and the daimyo are already under Naraku's control.

But the land of earth is different.

After annexing the Land of Snow, the border between the Land of Stars and the Land of Earth will be extended again, making it easier for conflicts to occur between the two sides.

In particular, the continuous expansion has made the Star Kingdom extremely aggressive.

Unless Onoki and the Daimyo of the Land of Earth are fools, they would never ignore the expansion of the Land of Stars.

However, perhaps out of fear of Naraku, or perhaps because they are focusing more attention on the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth has been relatively restrained and has not yet taken any major action against the Land of Stars.

After discussing the war, Naraku and Nonou started talking about other things.

Nonoyu smiled and said, "The training of special personnel is progressing very smoothly. The selected personnel are all performing well, and the expansion of each department can be accelerated."

"Oh? It seems we still have many outstanding talents. You can arrange the department expansion!" Naraku laughed upon hearing Nonou's words.

The Star Kingdom has been steadily expanding its territory abroad, and its development in all aspects has not lagged behind domestically.
