"Your world is too dangerous," concluded Tsunade, shaking her head.


    "No ce ispletely safe," countered Edward. "You saw the intervention of the Otsutsuki n in the Fourth Shinobi War. Without Naruto, Sasuke, and Hagoromo, your world would have been in trouble.


    "However, what you don''t know is a dozen yearster, the peace of the Ninja World was again broken. The Otsutsuki returned, Sasuke died, and Naruto lost the Nine-Tails and was sealed.


    "The world had to rely on Naruto''s son to save it."


    Tsunade quieted for a moment. She knew the Otsutsuki n would never give up a world full of life like the Ninja World since it''s the perfect ce to nt the God Tree and condense a Chakra Fruit.


    So, what would the fate of the Ninja World be without Edward''s appearance?


    Maybe a savior would be born to save the Ninja World, simr to Sasuke and Naruto. Or maybe, the Ninja World would be destroyed.


    "Is it a sin to be weak in this vast universe?" asked Tsunade with a sigh.


    "Unfortunately, it is," replied Edward. "It''s been a long and tired day, so rest. We will return home in a few days to continue researching the Chakra System."


    Tsunade nodded before leaving. Meanwhile, Edward continued working. He took a few potions to recuperate from the battle. Then, he began to work with Morgana to analyze the new Willpower Coating Technique and the other things he learned during the battle.


    However, Golem AD contacted him the next day, saying it was urgent. So, he had to see it.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "Three civilizations send an ambassador to see us; they are waiting in the room next door," exined Golem AD.


    "Oh, who are they?"


    "The Sage n, the Automatons, and the Chakra Race."


    "Interesting names," muttered Edward, as he had never heard of these things from Naruto. So, it''s most likely things rted to other gxies, not shown in the manga or anime.


    "Let''s see them in the throne room," he ordered. "Also, send me the information we have on these ns."


    "Yes."


    Edward sat in a golden throne room, calmly waiting. Soon afterward, three unique individuals appeared before him: an enormous snake, a human-sized robot resembling Gundam, and another towering beast with twelve tails. Immediately, he realized they were all Tier 7 and was a little surprised.


    "Salutation to you, your majesty," said the giant Snake, and the others followed to show their respect. White waiting for Edward''s appearance, they learned a few pieces of information about the Empire and proper etiquette for meeting the Emperor.


    Typically, these people would not care about things like etiquette. Unfortunately, the so-called Arcane Empire single-handled annihted the Otsutsuki n.


    "At ease," said Edward as he observed each individual. From the snake, he sensed an enormous amount of Nature Energy.


    ''The Sage n, huh?'' thought Edward as he remembered the three ces in the Ninja World where people can learn Sage Art. ording to his theory, the Great Toad Sage from Mount Myoboku did not be the way it was because it was a unique race.


    He believed thetter was only a regr toad but was very sensitive to Nature Energy. After discovering Mount Myoboku–a ce with tremendous concentration of nature energy– by ident, or maybe born there, the toad absorbed Nature Energy, evolving to gain intelligence. Then, it gathered other toads with simr talent, and Mount Myoboku became what it was today. The same was for the other two Senjutsus ces.


    Edward previously believed these three were a unique case in the Ninja. However, he now understood this was not true. A simr thing urred in different parts of the universe.


    Then, as these creatures became more powerful, they began to explode the universe and discovered each other. They banded together and became the Sage Race.


    Edward then observed the robot while overviewing the information he knew from the Otsutsuki n''s database. The origin of the Automaton n is simple and cliche: a technology civilization created artificial intelligence. They gained sentience and wiped out that civilization before making their own.


    The only interesting thing about them is a branch of their civilization originated from Chakra Puppets who gained sentience.


    Finally, it was the Chakra Race. They were created by the Otsutsuki n and were essentially the same as Tail Beasts in the Ninja World. However, they revolved against the n and became a separate race.


    "I''m d you are all here," said Edward after taking less than a second to analyze all these people. "However, I would like you to be blunt about your intentions."


    The Sage n and Chakra Race frowned. Meanwhile, the automaton did not mind Edward''s directness since it valued efficiency above everything else; it did not want to waste time on pleasantries and talking around the bush. Although it has programs that allowed him to partake in these activities, it did not mean he wanted to use them.


    "We have two primary objectives," said the Automaton, looking directly at Edward. Although no emotions were disyed on its face, he would be frowning if possible. Countless data shed in its eyes as it tried to analyze Edward. However, a unique and powerful field around thetter obscured all his programs, frustrating him a little.


    The only thing he could discern was thetter had a massive amount of energy inside his body.


    "Objective 1: Contact the person capable of wiping out the Otsutsuki.


    "Objective 2: Discover their intention and attitude towards other civilizations."


    Edward nodded before saying, "Then, I will answer you. The Sage n and Chakra Race can integrate into the Empire. You will be my citizens and have all the rights of other races, species, or ethnicities."


    "What? Are you serious?" asked the snake. However, Edward did not answer him but looked at the automaton.


    "Your civilization should have a Source Code."


    If the robot had a heart, it would skip a beat after hearing this. The Source Code is the highest secret of their civilizations; it is the source of all Artificial Intelligence and the reason for their existence. So, no one–including the Otsusuki n–should have known about it.


    "Hand over the Source Code, and you can be spared."


    "That is impossible." Anyone who controlled the Source Code could control all the automatons of the civilization, basically bing the master of the entire civilization.


    "Then, prepare for annihtion," said Edward calmly. He was paranoid about any robot civilizations because of their rapid possibility for growth given the right environment and circumstances. As such, even though his Arcane Civilization has many ways to prevent the rise of artificial intelligence, he never lowers his guard against them or gives them any chance.


    Otherwise, Edward believed the Arcane Empire would have developed even faster than it currently was.


    He looked at the other two again and continued, "I will give you the coordinate to our main. You can send ambassadors to see how the Empire integrates humans, Sage n, and even Chakra Race into one.


    "You can also take this opportunity to experience ourws, customs, and cultures. Afterward, if you still refuse to surrender, you can prepare for war.


    "However, you can rest assured. We are not the Otsutsuki n. In the uing war, we will not kill all of you and ensure the war ends as soon as possible; all we want is your surrender."


    The two ambassadors swore they had never had to use so much effort to control themselves. They hated how calm and reassured this so-called Arcane Emperor was; it was like fighting with their civilization was child''s y.


    "I hope your majesty''s arrogance is warranted," said the snake, snorting before gliding out of the room. The Taill Beast groaned before leaving. The automatons calmly left, but he was the most worried.


    Edward calmly watched them leave before muttering, "I''ve been here for too long. I don''t want to waste time with you people."


    He summoned Golem AD and said, "Prepare for battle. Tomorrow, we will conquer the Automaton Race and capture an Immortal God."


    "Yes,mander."
