It's a pity that everyone likes to be friends and brothers with loyal and righteous people, but they themselves are very reluctant to become such people. Perhaps it's because selfless dedication is too difficult!

But isn't it precisely because of this that people who are willing to give to others are all the more precious?

"What do you think?"

Instead of giving Killer Bee a direct answer, he asked about the Fourth Raikage.

“I disagree. This is my business, how can I let someone else do it for me?”

The Fourth Raikage answered decisively, his eyes filled with determination. As the older brother, how could he let his younger brother suffer in his place?

It must be said that the two brothers were truly kind to each other, or rather, Killer Bee's actions made the Fourth Raikage his true elder brother.

Many people who saw this scene between the two brothers silently gave them a thumbs up, and some even began to think that if Yi Shuihan continued to make things difficult for them, they would think that Yi Shuihan was heartless.

Of course, Yi Shuihan didn't care what other people were thinking; he only cared about what he was thinking.

"How about we let the next five times go? He's already been punished enough."

The one who spoke was none other than Tsunade, the hostess of our hot spring resort. She had arrived shortly after Yi Shuihan's return, but she had only watched silently without saying a word.

Tsunade pleaded for mercy because she witnessed the brotherly love between Killer Bee and his brother, and was moved by the thought that she also had a younger brother.

If it were someone else who asked, Yi Shuihan would almost certainly refuse, but it would be a different story if it were his own sister asking.

“No problem. Since our princess has spoken, how could I not comply? My motto in life is to take the princess’s will as my own.”

Their display of affection was the envy of everyone present. The women there all had hearts in their eyes as they looked at Yi Shuihan, who was so considerate of his woman. Where could they find such a good man?

If it weren't for Tsunade's immense influence in Konoha, her renowned violent strength, and the rumors that she had awakened Wood Release and was even stronger than the Hokage, many girls would probably be throwing themselves at her right now.

"Did you hear that? Hurry up and thank our princess."

Yi Shuihan spoke gently to Tsunade, but his tone was much colder when speaking to the Fourth Raikage.

"Th-thank you, Lady Tsunade."

It was somewhat inappropriate for the Fourth Raikage to say such things, since he was a Kage, whose status was above Tsunade's. However, no one present felt that the Fourth Raikage was ashamed of doing so.

After the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee also expressed his gratitude to Tsunade.

In the Hokage Building, the Konoha high-ranking officials who witnessed all of this exchanged bewildered glances, all looking at the Third Hokage with admiration for a long time.

"Lord Sandai, you've taken on a fine disciple!"

"Not bad, that girl Tsunade didn't let me down."

Fortunately, Tsunade is from Konoha and has this connection with Yi Shuihan, so we won't have to worry about Yi Shuihan attacking Konoha in the future. It seems we need to communicate with Tsunade more often!

The three generations of the family were lost in thought, appearing unfathomable to others.

Chapter 471, Chaos and Satellite Launch

"Alright, the matter with the Raikage is more or less resolved now. Next, what are you all doing..."

The Fourth Kazekage, the Third Tsuchikage, and the Fifth Mizukage all felt extremely uncomfortable under Yi Shuihan's gaze, not to mention the other ninjas.

"Actually, we came with the Raikage this time. We will follow the Raikage's arrangements. If the Raikage leaves, we will leave too."

Seeing Yi Shuihan's gaze lingering on him, Onoki quickly thought of something and said.

Just kidding, he doesn't want to become the next Fourth Raikage.

"So are we!"

Yes, the same.

Other ninjas also expressed their opinions, and none of them mentioned Orochimaru again.

"In that case, what are you still doing here? If you want to soak in the hot springs, I'm sorry, there are no spots left for today. Please come back tomorrow."

The highly anticipated battle ended in this way, which is truly regrettable.

Although they didn't witness the legendary Kage-level battle, the onlookers felt it was worth the trip, and they had been boasting about the fancy ways to kill the Raikage for a long time.

The four-ninja alliance arrived with great momentum, but left as if fleeing in disarray. Yi Shuihan's power alone was terrifying, breaking records in the ninja world.

Even compared to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, Yi Shuihan is far superior to them.

If it were Hashirama Senju, even if he had the strength to defeat these Kage-level opponents, he simply couldn't have achieved such an effect. Given his personality, he might have even bowed and begged everyone to let him go.

Do not doubt that Hashirama Senju was such a person. During the Five Kage Summit, he was not humble and subservient. Despite being the strongest, he acted as if everyone else was his superior.

You said that necessary compromises are for the stability of the entire ninja world, but what if a ninja world war breaks out?

Yi Shuihan said that if it breaks out, it breaks out; what does it have to do with him? It's not like he started the war.

After what Yi Shuihan did today, the ninjas of the four great nations will certainly not dare to continue their large-scale search for Orochimaru. However, they will definitely still send people to look for him. Yi Shuihan does not believe that they will give up so easily.

What's the situation outside right now?

Yi Shuihan sipped his afternoon tea and inquired about the situation in the Toyota Blue Ninja World.

It had been almost two months since the last massacre of the Raikage, and the ninja world was now in complete chaos due to the advent of firearms.

Originally, the daimyo of various countries were just mascots in the original work, but now they are causing chaos in the ninja world. In the past, because ninjas were absolute power, ordinary people would be slaughtered no matter how many ninjas they faced.

Now that they have firearms, ordinary people can gather together and fight against ninjas. So the ambitions of the daimyo have finally been revealed. Armies armed with firearms have been built up, and they have even clashed with many ninja villages.

In particular, the five major powers established armies armed with firearms. Instead of confronting the five major villages, they directly deployed their troops to those smaller countries for training.

Small ninja villages are easily defeated by armies armed with firearms, while medium-sized ninja villages can be destroyed by armies armed with firearms, even if they suffer some losses.

These armies, now known as the Daimyo Army, were perhaps used for training or to suppress ninjas. In addition to conquering ninja villages abroad, the Daimyo Army also continuously suppressed bandits within its own borders. For a time, the hearts of the people were won over, and in the minds of ordinary people, the status of ninja villages declined considerably, while the status of the Daimyo rose significantly.

After all, even without this incident, the Daimyo's status among the common people was above that of the Kage, the leader of the ninja village. He had only kept a low profile because he did not have power. Now that he had power, he naturally became more unrestrained.

After all, this is the real world. The daimyo can't completely trust the ninja villages in their own country. To be honest, the daimyo's orders are not as effective as the Kage's orders. In other words, the ninja villages are nominally part of the country, but in reality, they are independent countries.

Even the appointment of the Shadow, though supposedly by the Daimyo, was actually just a matter of the village deciding on it beforehand and then announcing it through the Daimyo's mouth.

"Boss, just a few days ago, the Daimyo's army from the Land of Fire fought a battle with the Daimyo's army from the Land of Wind, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties."

Mighty recounted the news he had heard from Hatake Sakumo, his eyes filled with undisguised shock as he spoke of the tens of thousands of dead and wounded.

During the previous Ninja Wars, although the battles were still very fierce, because ninjas were the main force, each major battle involved several hundred or several thousand ninjas, and even the final battle involved only tens of thousands of ninjas. After a Ninja War, the death of tens of thousands of ninjas was considered a heavy casualty.

It's just a battle, and it's even a probing one, yet tens of thousands of people have already died. It's horrifying.

It's conceivable that if a war involving firearms were to break out, hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries could very well occur.

"So the appearance of ninjas actually has some effect. After all, after the appearance of ninjas, the big battles are usually started by ninjas, and ordinary people basically do not participate. At this time, ordinary people are much safer. It is rare for ninjas to kill ordinary people. Now that firearms have come out, ordinary people can also participate in the battle against ninjas. In this way, the mortality rate of ordinary people will naturally rise rapidly."

Realizing that all of this had happened because of his momentary whim, Yi Shuihan felt a moment of confusion.

Regret? No, because Yi Shuihan had anticipated this situation from the very beginning.

"There's a rumor going around the village that the Daimyo is sympathetic to the Hokage's hard work and wants to send someone to assist him and share the burden."

Matt Day continued.

"Assist the Hokage? Interesting!"

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence could see that this was a test by the Daimyo to take over the ninja village. If this person actually came and gained a foothold, things would never be peaceful again.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Orochimaru sent a message saying that he wants the boss to come over in three days, saying that he needs to prepare for a satellite launch."

"Launching a satellite? I really need to go there. I've never actually seen a satellite launch before!"

"Boss, what is this satellite?"

"Well, here's a book for you to read yourself. I have something to do, I'll go out for a bit."

Matt Day stared blankly at the book in his hand, its cover bearing the title "Science and the Development of the World: The Birth of Satellites and Their Impact on the World," for a moment before opening it.

Chapter 472, Ascent

Leaving aside Might Guy looking at the book that he could hardly understand, Yi Shuihan arrived at Orochimaru's research base.

"boss."

The first person to see Yi Shuihan was Dou, who immediately came up to greet him respectfully.

"You came!"

Orochimaru is more casual. Although he is indeed Yi Shuihan's subordinate now, outstanding people always have some arrogance and privileges.

"This is the satellite? It looks completely finished!"

Upon spotting the enormous machine not far away, Yi Shuihan asked in surprise.

"Good, now we just need to do some debugging and checks before we can launch."

Looking at the satellite, Orochimaru felt a sense of pride. If it were to be successfully launched, it would be an epoch-making achievement that would change the course of human history. He, who guided all of this to be accomplished, would become one of the greatest people in history.

"Then I'll wait and see. With satellites, the technological process can advance significantly once again."

Oh, right, it seems there's a group of people living on the moon! I wonder what they'd think if they saw a satellite.

"If it were me, I would definitely try every means to shoot down the satellite! It seems I'll have to go to the moon for a spin after this."

Leaving a planet and surviving in space is not easy for Yi Shuihan, but traveling to and from the moon is still manageable.

After inquiring about the progress of the research and taking away some trinkets that Yi Shuihan found interesting, Yi Shuihan hurriedly left the research base.

Before they knew it, the day of the satellite launch arrived, and Yi Shuihan and Tsunade arrived at the launch site early.

When Orochimaru saw Tsunade, he was clearly surprised and embarrassed. However, they were once partners, and Tsunade was now there as Yi Shuihan's woman, so Orochimaru didn't dare to offend her. Apart from exchanging a few words with Tsunade at the beginning, he acted as if Tsunade didn't exist.

"Orochimaru has changed a lot too!"

Upon seeing Orochimaru again, Tsunade was filled with emotion. In her memory, Orochimaru was someone who didn't show any fear because of anyone's identity and was always cold to everyone. Unlike now, although it wasn't obvious, she could still see the difference in Orochimaru's attitude towards Yi Shuihan.

"He hasn't changed; you just didn't really understand him before."

"maybe!"

The satellite's reflection point was a relatively open area, about several hundred meters away from Yi Shuihan and the others. With Orochimaru's command to start the launch, the satellite launch finally entered its countdown.

"10"

"9"

"8"

"..."

"2"

"1"

"0"

"emission"

With a rumbling sound, the rocket carrying the satellite ignited and took off. The speed was slow at first, but it accelerated in the blink of an eye, leaving only a trail of flame in the sky.

“How spectacular!”

Looking at the sky, Tsunade exclaimed in amazement.

Even Yi Shuihan was stunned and somewhat lost in thought by the sight of the rocket taking off.

Next, under Orochimaru's control, the satellite quickly detached from the planet and headed into space. When they saw a scene of space appear on a screen similar to a television display, everyone, including Yi Shuihan, was amazed by the beautiful scenery on the screen.

"Is this the land we live on? It really is a huge sphere! Two-thirds of it is sea and one-third is land. It's amazing."

“It’s so beautiful!”

To everyone's amazement, the satellite finally entered its designated orbit, revealing even more of the beauty of the universe.

If looking at the sea can make one feel the vastness of the ocean and thus calm the mind, then the boundless universe is even more awe-inspiring.

Even with Yi Shuihan's composure, he was immersed in the vastness of the universe for quite some time.

On the moon, somewhere the screen cannot see.

"Huh, what's that? How can it fly up from the ground?"

Gavin Otsutsuki was one of the Otsutsuki clan members on the moon. The Otsutsuki clan was always watching the Earth. Today it was his turn to monitor the Earth, and unexpectedly he saw a silvery-white thing rush out of the Earth and then stop not far from the moon.

"No, I have to report the situation here to the elders. Perhaps this is the latest weapon, and those mortals below are about to attack this place."

Gavin ran frantically toward the depths of the moon, his face grave.

It has to be said that he has quite the imagination, mistaking satellites for special weapons and even thinking that someone was going to attack the moon. Haha, he really thinks too much.

Before long, a group of people followed Gavin to a place where they could see the satellite. Upon seeing the satellite, they immediately reacted in a similar way, believing it to be a threat that had to be eliminated.
