The Wind Daimyō naturally recognized this person as well.
His expression changed drastically. A dead person from the Leaf Village had actually been resurrected.
To possess such terrifying means... only now did he realize how foolish it was to defy this man.
He hurriedly said, "My Lord, I am truly willing to submit."
"It's too late."
Ryōsuke would never believe the Wind Daimyō. For someone who had stubbornly resisted to suddenly choose submission meant he definitely had his own ulterior motives.
Such a person was not worthy of trust.
Of course, he also needed to display more of his methods to intimidate the other Daimyō.
He looked at Shisui and said calmly, "Shisui, use your Mangekyō Sharingan's genjutsu to control this guy."
Although Shisui's Kotoamatsukami could no longer be used, the genjutsu of his other eye was still functional.
In the original timeline's Five Kage Summit, Shimura Danzō had used Shisui's right eye to control Mifune into nominating him as the commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
This genjutsu could directly control a person's thoughts.
It was utterly terrifying.
An ordinary person like the Wind Daimyō had absolutely no ability to resist it.
Shisui immediately activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and cast the genjutsu. An invisible wave shot toward the Wind Daimyō.
The Wind Daimyō instantly froze. He clearly lacked his previous vigor, his expression turning somewhat sluggish and vacant.
"Ryōsuke, it's done," Shisui reported.
The four remaining Daimyō present were completely awestruck.
A Daimyō of equal status to them had been controlled just like that. This meant that if they resisted, they would suffer the exact same fate. Intense fear began to grip their hearts.
Let alone them, even the four Kage felt a heavy weight in their chests. The Daimyō they had always been forced to respect had been directly subjugated.
Their feelings were truly complicated, but the shinobi world was truly entering a new era today.
Actually, thinking about it, this situation was quite favorable. In the future, the status of ninja would be much higher.
Ryōsuke turned to look at the four Daimyō, stating with a calm expression, "This is the consequence of resistance. I don't even need to act personally to easily crush you."
"You should feel fortunate that I am giving you the opportunity to communicate properly now, understand?"
The four Daimyō instantly felt an immense pressure. They never expected their lives could be so easily toyed with in the hands of a true powerhouse. Each of them was trembling with fear and anxiety as they hastily replied.
"We understand. We will properly obey you from now on, My Lord."
Ryōsuke looked at their display and was extremely satisfied.
"That's more like it. I don't want to cause a massive massacre either."
"Otherwise, the entire shinobi world would turn into a bloodbath."
The four Daimyō's hearts trembled violently.
"You are absolutely right, My Lord."
Thank goodness they had agreed in advance. Resisting to the bitter end meant either being controlled by genjutsu or being slaughtered.
Looking at it now, they felt they should be thanking this lord for his mercy.
In the past, whenever a Daimyō was replaced, it was always accompanied by tremendous bloodshed.
Thinking of this, they felt lucky that they could still stand here while the transition of power took place.
Seeing these guys chiming in to agree with him, Ryōsuke figured it would be very difficult for them to ever harbor thoughts of rebellion again.
This was a very good outcome.
He looked at Rasa and Shisui.
"Rasa, cooperate with Shisui to control this guy. Carefully select someone in the Land of Wind who is willing to submit to the Shinobi Alliance to take control of the Daimyō's estate."
He would arrange things like this for now. After all, progress had to be made one step at a time.
The Shinobi Alliance becoming the direct superiors of the Daimyō was already a massive step forward, but to the common people, it would still appear as though the Daimyō were ruling them.
To the public, nothing would have changed, which would prevent any major unrest.
This would also make it easier to implement any future policies.
"Understood," Rasa replied.
If he was the one choosing, he could certainly pick someone who had a good relationship with the Sand Village.
This was undoubtedly extremely beneficial for the Sand Village.
It seemed that everything today had achieved its intended purpose.
Without a doubt, he had successfully subdued the five Daimyō.
Four of them had completely submitted, and the remaining Wind Daimyō was controlled by genjutsu, just waiting to be replaced by a new puppet.
Ryōsuke looked at the group and said, "Alright, you Daimyō will stay here for a few days and wait for further arrangements. Do you have any objections?"
How could the four Daimyō dare to have any objections? They all voiced their agreement.
"No objections."
If they dared to object, they would probably be controlled by genjutsu as well.
A person who couldn't even control their own thoughts was truly a miserable existence.
Ryōsuke looked at them and said, "Good. You may leave now."
The Daimyō left one after another, while Ryōsuke and Shisui departed with the Wind Daimyō.
The remaining Kage were deeply shaken.
To take down the Daimyō so effortlessly... this man was simply too powerful. No one could stand against him.
Ryōsuke was now thinking about proceeding to the next step. He looked at the Kage present and said, "I plan to establish an Alliance army to rule the world. I hope your villages will be willing to send some reliable talents to join."
"What do you think?"
This move was not only to acquire talent but also to integrate these individuals into the Alliance, thereby weakening the boundaries between the villages.
If their sense of belonging to their individual villages was too strong, it would not be a good thing for the Alliance.
The Kage of the other four great ninja villages, aside from Tsunade, didn't need to think much to understand this. Absorbing talents from each village had both pros and cons.
The advantage, of course, was that if a village had a large number of people entering the Alliance, their village's voice and influence would grow.
The disadvantage was equally obvious.
If all the village's talents entered the Alliance, the village itself would wither away.
The resulting consequence would be nothing more than the Alliance growing stronger while the villages declined.
It was a brilliant strategy to undermine them from the root. At this rate, the Alliance would only continue to grow stronger.
The Alliance would become even more stable.
But even if they knew there was a scheme behind this, did they have any way to resist? Of course, there was no way to refuse.
In the future, the focal point of competition between their villages would inevitably shift to the Alliance.
The villages would be marginalized, and there was nothing they could do about it.
They all agreed in succession.
"We will send our elites to be at the Alliance's disposal. Please rest assured, My Lord."
Ryōsuke looked at everyone's reactions and smiled.
"Very good. Please also remember that I am not establishing this Alliance for my own selfish desires."
"It is to reduce the wars in the shinobi world, to give ordinary people the right to live, to establish a basic order, and to let the world truly have peace."
"Therefore, the old social order is no longer effective."
"Now, we must build new schools and vigorously develop technology."
"You've all seen the food production base outside the Leaf Village, haven't you? That is the product of technology. It can create immense wealth and even ensure that no one in the world has to go hungry. Having enough to eat is one hundred percent achievable."
