At this moment, Uchiha Jin's face was filled with confusion.
He was, indeed, bewildered!
The Three Great Sage Regions were indeed his next targets, but there was no need to take action against Shikkotsu Forest. That lazy Katsuyu didn't care about the chaos in the Ninja World and had long since promised to support Konoha.
He wasn't surprised that Ryūchi Cave came, either!
After all, the White Snake Sage was not part of the Hagoromo lineage and had been acting independently in the Ninja World for years. Now that she saw he had the upper hand, it was understandable that she would rush over to pledge allegiance.
It was only the situation with Mount Myōboku that he couldn't understand at all!
After all, those toads were of the Hagoromo lineage; what did they want by coming to defect to him?
However.
Being able to rule the Ninja World without causing any damage was a good thing for him, so after a brief moment of contemplation, Uchiha Jin nodded and spoke directly.
"Invite the leaders of the two Sage Regions in."
"Also..."
"Send someone to the Senju clan grounds and have them summon Katsuyu as well."
"Since we are receiving the Summoned Beasts today, we might as well resolve the matter of the Three Great Sage Regions all at once."
Following Uchiha Jin's command, the Anbu agent, who had been kneeling on one knee, bowed and left.
A moment later.
The White Snake Sage and the Three Snake Princesses, as well as Fukasaku and Elder Shima from Mount Myōboku, and even Katsuyu, arrived quickly.
In an instant.
The entire Hokage Office fell silent.
The Sages from the Three Great Sage Regions exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.
After all, this kind of situation was extremely rare!
In the past, the Three Great Sage Regions were all prestigious; even the Hokage of the Ninja World didn't have the qualifications to make them visit in person.
Of course—except for the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest!
After all, there was only one Sage in Shikkotsu Forest, Katsuyu, and she had to come whenever someone summoned her. But Ryūchi Cave and Mount Myōboku were completely different.
The Great Sages of these two regions basically never left their sacred grounds.
At most, some small fry from below would show up. Especially in a place like Ryūchi Cave, even the Three Snake Princesses wouldn't show their faces; at most, someone like Shinya or Manda could be summoned.
But, what about today?
Except for the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, the other two Great Sages had all come.
"Mount Myōboku, aren't you being too arrogant?"
"I and Katsuyu have both come, so why didn't Gamamaru come?"
"Sending you two juniors, are you looking down on Konoha, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest?"
The White Snake Sage spoke first. Although her tone was calm, it still gave people a cold feeling.
And, regarding this.
The Slug Sage waved her hand: "I don't mind, White Snake Sage, you don't need to worry about me."
Uchiha Jin did not speak.
He was also curious about what was going on with Mount Myōboku, so at this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked directly at the two toad sages, Fukasaku and Elder Shima.
Fukasaku and Elder Shima looked at each other, and finally, Fukasaku spoke first.
"Hokage-sama, Slug Great Sage, White Snake Great Sage."
"We are very sorry, but the Great Toad Sage cannot come."
"He is the Summoned Beast of the Great Sage Hagoromo. He does not have the ability to choose independently; he is destined to stand on the side of the Hagoromo lineage."
"This Sage's Talisman is a meeting gift from Mount Myōboku. We hope Konoha can accept it!"
After finishing.
Sage Fukasaku didn't waste any time and took out the Sage's Talisman, handing it directly to Uchiha Jin.
For a moment, everyone was stunned!
Although Fukasaku did not explain in detail, everyone present understood.
Even Uchiha Jin was a bit surprised. As a transmigrator, he had long known that Mount Myōboku was strange and had thought of countless possibilities, but he had never thought of this point that Fukasaku mentioned.
Good heavens!
So it turned out that this guy, Gamamaru, was Hagoromo's Summoned Beast!
But thinking about it carefully, it was understandable.
Who said that the Great Sages of the Three Great Sage Regions couldn't be Summoned Beasts?
Wasn't Katsuyu also a Summoned Beast?
It was just that ordinary people didn't have the ability to summon her!
"So, that's how it is!"
"I accept the meeting gift from Mount Myōboku. Welcome to Konoha. As long as you can live here peacefully, I guarantee in the name of the Uchiha that no one will discriminate against you in Mount Myōboku from now on."
"Of course."
"After I finish off Hagoromo in the future, I will help you take back Mount Myōboku, and it will remain the territory of you toads."
"However, at the same time."
"From now on, everyone in Konoha, as long as their strength in various aspects meets the standard, will be eligible to sign a summoning contract with you."
"The same goes for Ryūchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest. As long as you Three Great Sage Regions don't provoke me, I have no interest in destroying anyone."
"I am not that bloodthirsty; I am also a person who loves peace!"
"Finally, if there is a time when I need to use your power in the future, I hope you Three Great Sage Regions will not refuse."
Uchiha Jin spoke slowly.
He really didn't have the heart to kill the Three Great Sage Regions, and he didn't have to wipe out any clan.
To put it bluntly...
As long as they didn't affect his rule, he was too lazy to care about their messy business.
Especially since the primordial tower had been activated by him, his future was full of possibilities. His goal was far beyond just the Ninja World. As long as the Three Great Sage Regions were willing to listen to his orders, there would be a time when he would need them.
And, on the other side.
With Uchiha Jin's words, everyone present finally let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately!
Uchiha Jin was not a bloodthirsty person and did not intend to exterminate everyone. This made everyone's attitude toward Uchiha Jin instantly become much kinder and more relaxed.
Especially Fukasaku and Elder Shima!
Before, they couldn't wait to kill Uchiha Jin to avenge their little Jiraiya.
But now?
Truly calming down to examine this matter, it seemed that they, Mount Myōboku, were the ones in the wrong.
After all, Uchiha Jin didn't take the initiative to attack Mount Myōboku; on the contrary, it was Mount Myōboku that found Uchiha Jin an eyesore.
Thinking of this, the mentality of the two toads began to change quietly.
"That..."
"Since Mount Myōboku has given a meeting gift, then my Ryūchi Cave cannot be without a gesture."
"The summoning scrolls of me and the Three Snake Princesses will be given to Konoha today!"
"As long as someone is qualified to sign a summoning contract, all of us in Ryūchi Cave, including myself, are willing to accept being summoned."
After finishing.
The White Snake Sage took out her summoning scroll. Seeing that their ancestor had said so, the Three Snake Princesses naturally handed over their own exclusive summoning scrolls one after another.
Seeing this, Uchiha Jin revealed a faint smile.
Not bad, sensible!
Uchiha Jin smiled and accepted the scrolls, then expressed his gratitude to the White Snake Sage.
It was indeed not easy!
At the very least, it could be seen from the original work that no one had ever been able to summon the White Snake Sage, and not even the Three Snake Princesses could do it.
Now that they had handed them over voluntarily, it was enough to express their sincerity!
Finally.
Even the Slug Sage summoned a blade, and said in a very soft tone: "Since Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave have both brought meeting gifts, then I will also bring a meeting gift on behalf of Shikkotsu Forest."
"This blade is not the Kusanagi Sword, and I don't know what it is exactly."
"It's just—quite unique!"
"Let's take it as a meeting gift today."
