Chapter 128: The Fall of Amegakure
"That's probably my last bit of value."
Hearing this, Konan's face turned pale as she spoke bitterly, "The Akatsuki organization is completely finished, and Amegakure is too. You can kill me now!"
Whoosh!!
As soon as the words left her mouth, Konan's hands moved slightly.
In the next instant, the countless explosive tags surrounding Uchiha Yuta suddenly dispersed and began to detonate in no particular order.
Boom!!!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the simultaneous explosion of hundreds of billions of explosive tags triggered a devastating shockwave, making the skies over Amegakure tremble violently.
"This woman's insane…"
Watching the never-ending chain of explosions, Uchiha Yuta's mouth twitched.
He hadn't expected Konan to detonate all of her tags so recklessly.
Explosive tags were a valuable resource in the shinobi world, after all.
But here she was, blowing up hundreds of billions of them in one go—like a true rich lady throwing money away.
Still…
Considering her unique Paper Jutsu abilities and her high-ranking status in Akatsuki,
Uchiha Yuta could only admit that Konan truly deserved the title of richest kunoichi in the shinobi world.
"…Time to wrap this up."
As the last of the tags exploded,
Konan stood on the tower's stone platform, gazing down at the devastated ruins of Amegakure. A soft look of relief appeared on her face. She pulled out a kunai, prepared to take her own life.
But—just as she was about to strike—
Whoosh!
In a flash of light, Uchiha Yuta appeared in front of her, and before Konan could even react, he knocked the kunai from her hand.
"Y-You…"
Konan's eyes widened in confusion. She stared at the fallen kunai on the ground.
Why had he stopped her?
Why save her now?
Uchiha Yuta spoke in a calm tone, "Once Konoha takes control of Amegakure, we'll be initiating a complete reform. You still hold value. I need you alive."
"No,"
Konan shook her head firmly. "I won't serve Konoha."
"Hmph."
Uchiha Yuta didn't seem the least bit bothered. He chuckled coldly. "If you refuse to cooperate, I'll just slaughter all the unconscious ninja and civilians in Amegakure."
"You… you monster!"
Konan's body trembled as fury surged within her. Her face twisted in anguish and disbelief.
She never imagined the Fifth Hokage could be this cruel—using her own village to force her submission.
"Hmph…"
Uchiha Yuta snorted coldly, showing no mercy. "From this moment on, you are a prisoner of Konoha."
Thud…
Konan's knees gave way, and she slumped down onto the platform.
She realized she had no strength left to resist.

One day later—
Konoha's elite ninja army arrived in Amegakure.
When they saw the devastation, gasps of disbelief echoed through the ranks.
The towers had been reduced to rubble, and deep fissures crisscrossed the earth.
The signs of an earth-shattering battle were everywhere.
All the Konoha shinobi could do was silently marvel at the terrifying power of the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta.
With Konan, the "Angel of Dawn," now cooperating,
Konoha completed the takeover of Amegakure in less than half a day.
A public declaration followed:
Amegakure has been officially annexed by Konoha. From this day forward, Amegakure is a subordinate force under the authority of Konohagakure.
---
Shockwaves through the Shinobi World—
The news spread like wildfire.
No one had expected that the Akatsuki, who had just attacked Konoha not long ago,
Would be met with such swift retaliation.
Even more stunning—
This was the first time in history that Konoha had absorbed another hidden village.
From the First Hokage to the Fourth, no precedent existed.
But now, the newly ascended Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—had shattered that norm.
It was a signal:
Konoha had changed.
It was no longer a symbol of passive peace—
But a rising superpower, ready to dominate.
---
Sunagakure —
After the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was killed by Uchiha Yuta,
The village plunged into chaos.
But in the nick of time, the elders Chiyo and Ebizo stepped in to restore order.
Now, within the Kazekage's office—
The two stood silently, gazing at the intelligence scroll in front of them.
A heavy atmosphere filled the room.
"…Sigh."
Chiyo finally broke the silence with a long sigh. "The Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—moves like a blade. He's actually annexed Amegakure."
"Yes…"
Ebizo's expression was grim. "It's clear now—Konoha has chosen the path of power and domination."
"They're acting without restraint… simply doing whatever they please."
Chiyo gritted her teeth, frustration in her voice. "What kind of Hokage is this? Doesn't he believe in the Will of Fire at all?"
"The Third Hokage—Hiruzen Sarutobi—was the last to hold onto that will," Ebizo replied bitterly. "And Uchiha Yuta killed him with his own hands."
"What do we do now?"
Chiyo frowned deeply, her voice heavy with concern. "We've already surrendered… but what if Konoha comes for Sunagakure next?"
