I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Today is the day that Amegakure will accept Iwagakure's surrender.

After the two parties agree on a time, the handover will be carried out in the Iwagakure Village. At that time, all the ninjas of the Iwagakure will be taken over, and the entire Iwagakure Village will be taken over by the Rain Village's troops.

"coming."

All the Iwagakure ninjas gathered at the gate. In order to ensure a smooth handover, they had all taken the initiative to disarm themselves. At this moment, they did not carry any ninja tools.

The first thing that caught my eye was the Amegakure flag, a black flag with a golden Amegakure logo painted on it and red clouds around it, the same design concept as the Akatsuki organization's black-bottomed red-cloud robes.

Looking at the well-organized troops of Yuyin, the people of Iwayin gradually became nervous. Although both parties had signed a contract, who knew whether the other party would go back on their word? Now they had no strength to resist.

Fortunately, this tense atmosphere did not last long, and the troops stopped at some distance.

The array dispersed, and one after another uniquely shaped combat vehicles drove out, just when Iwagakure was still confused.

Ye Lan, Deidara, Xiu and a number of high-ranking military officials from Yuyin got out of the car one after another.

Ye Lan stood in the center like the moon surrounded by stars, and the Xiao robe on his body attracted everyone's attention.

"So young."

Most of these Iwagakure ninjas saw Ye Lan for the first time. Although they had seen his portraits and photos, they couldn't help but admire him after seeing him in person.

Who would have thought that a person under twenty years old could do such a thing.

After seeing Ye Lan and others appear, the people from Yanyin breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer put on airs and walked forward to greet the members from Yuyin.

Ohnoki looked at Deidara with complicated eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Xiu stepped forward and said, "In order to show our sincerity, we have brought here some Iwagakure prisoners who have performed well. As long as they no longer work as Iwagakure ninjas, most of them can return home."

As he said this, he called on his soldiers to come up with a group of prisoners of war.

"Nobita, you're still alive!"

"I thought you were dead!"

Some people started to greet each other when they saw acquaintances and asked about their experiences as prisoners.

The most surprising thing was that loess and black soil were also brought here at this time.

Xiu explained to Ohnoki, "Logically they are not qualified to be brought here, but considering their status, Lord Ye Lan still let them come and meet you."

"Father."

"grandfather."

Huang Tu and Kuro Tu couldn't help but shout when they saw Oonoki.

Looking at his son and granddaughter who had become somewhat thinner, Ohnoki almost couldn't hold back his tears.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

"Lord Tsuchikage, are you really going to surrender?!"

After the initial excitement, Huang Tu couldn't help but ask about Ohnoki.

This sentence suddenly made the faces of everyone present change, especially the top leaders of Iwagakure, who all looked at Ye Lan worriedly.

Oonoki said after a moment of silence.

"I can't let these people die in vain because of me. Besides, the residents of the Land of Earth will live better, right?"

No one is a fool. They cannot ignore the changes brought about by Yuyin. They know better than anyone how life is in the occupied areas.

More people will not acknowledge the facts because of their own interests.

"Is that so?"

Huang Tu's eyes also dimmed. He didn't expect that his stubborn father would change one day.

After no longer looking at Huang Tu and knowing that his son and granddaughter were all safe, Oonoki let go of his last bit of worry.

"Uchiha Yelan, I'll leave all the people from Iwagakure to you."

Ohnoki looked back at Ye Lan, and this sentence officially meant that Iwagakure had accepted the surrender.

"Don't say that, Ohnoki. Iwagakure will still need you to manage the future. After all, we have already decided that you will be the first speaker."

It seems to Ye Lan that he is just changing his title and has less responsibilities to take care of. He will not change Ohnoki's position for the time being.

But the other party shook his head, Ohnoki's eyes became sharp, and a momentum suddenly burst out from his body.

"No, you misunderstood me. I can surrender for the sake of the people of Iwagakure, but that doesn't mean I, Ōnoki, will accept surrender!"

"Lord Tsuchikage!"

"Lord Oonoki!"

No one expected that Ōnoki would attack at this critical juncture, especially the top leaders of Iwagakure, their faces turned pale. Ōnoki, you signed the surrender letter yourself.

"I knew you wouldn't give up, old man, huh."

Instead of being worried, Deidara smiled.

"Lord Oonoki, do you want to break the treaty?"

Xiu hadn't turned his head yet, and he was not mistaken. This guy had surrendered.

"You are the commander who fought me last time, right? You are very good, but you should learn from your leader. Uchiha Ye Lan is not surprised at all. You still have a long way to go."

Oonoki's body was suspended in mid-air at this time, looking down at Xiu.

Xiu turned to look at Ye Lan, and sure enough, a faint smile appeared on Ye Lan's face, as if it was expected.

"As expected, old guys like you from the old times are not so easily persuaded. If it hadn't come to this, you wouldn't surrender. Even if you surrender, I won't give up."

"That's right! I can surrender for Iwagakure! But as the Tsuchikage, I will never accept recruitment!"

Ohnoki's actions at this moment only represent himself and the heritage of Iwagakure.

Huang Tu's eyes widened. Ohnoki was still the same Ohnoki. He had not changed at all. He still had that stubborn character. For the lives of the Iwagakure ninjas, he could sign the surrender document, but he would never sacrifice the lives of his subordinates for his own rights.

"Uchiha Yelan, I have met Madara. In my opinion, Madara is just a beast with only power. You are different. You are ambitious, strategic, able to break the order, and willing to speak for the weak. However, your thoughts conflict with mine. Our ideas will never be consistent, and I will never be the speaker you mentioned."

Ōnoki's momentum continued to rise, and even at his peak he did not have this kind of power.

"To me, this is an insult. I can't betray the legacy of the previous Tsuchikage, no matter if he is right or wrong!"

"grandfather!"

Tears flashed in Kurotsuchi's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to pounce on Ohnoki. Deidara hugged him tightly. He was the one who could best understand Ohnoki's thoughts, just like his persistence in art. Even if others died, they could not insult him.

"Father (Master), I want to be with you too!"

As soon as Huang Tu and Akagi took a step forward, they were glared back by Oonoki, and the others stepped forward to hold them down.

"Ohnoki, you should understand the consequences of my actions. Are you ready?"

The Akatsuki robe on Ye Lan's body rustled. If possible, he really didn't want to kill Ohnoki. If Ohnoki could serve as the Speaker of Iwagakure, he could save a lot of trouble.

Ōnoki grinned, as if he was back in his childhood, asking the first Tsuchikage what the Will of Stone was.

He finally yelled.

"As the Tsuchikage, I issue my final order to all Iwagakure ninjas. No one is allowed to take any revenge actions after my death. This is merely my personal action!"

"Come on, then! Let me see what you remnants of the old times are like!"

Bang, with a dull sound, black chakra burst out from Ye Lan's body, directly surpassing Ohnoki's momentum.

Oonoki took a deep breath, his eyes showing no fear at all.

"as you wish!"
