After Danzo became a Sage, he suffered several losses. Because of this, Danzo recognized the reality and became more careful in his actions.
However, everything Danzo experienced was growth for him.
After all, Danzo wasn't an ordinary person. His talent for training and his mind were both strong. Although he took a wrong path, if you just talk about talent, this guy was definitely strong enough.
In this year of training, Danzo reached world-class level in all aspects. Although there are many people in this world at the "top" level, it's enough to show Danzo's strength at this point.
Being assigned to lead a team further shows that his position in the World Government is extraordinary.
However, for people like the First and his team, Danzo was way too suspicious, so much so that it didn't even matter if they had evidence or not.
Also, if Danzo was really placed by Shanks, it would take them a very long time to find evidence, maybe not even before this war ends.
But they couldn't relax with such a person in the war.
Does evidence matter?
Sages aren't evil people, they have some conscience, but Danzo doesn't have much.
So, at this time, evidence isn't needed. Since Danzo is so suspicious, they can just get rid of him directly, and they don't even need to do it themselves.
As for losses, they'd only lose Danzo.
Of course, at this time, the plan against Danzo hasn't started yet, and Danzo is still watching the people of Konoha, keeping them at a distance from the other ninja villages.
But soon, Danzo received an order.
"Riots by pirates in the Land of Demons?"
Danzo looked at the order in his hand. It was an order from the Third Tsuchikage, and it looked like something big had happened.
"Everyone, get ready to go. Head to the border lines to find traces of the pirates. Take care of them directly if you can."
Danzo had experienced war, and he immediately issued the order. The other newly promoted Sages formed teams.
There were three teams in total, each with four people, and they went to the areas ordered.
Danzo chose another area himself. The area he chose was the one where the powerful fighters brought back by Edo Tensei often appeared.
The Marines couldn't track Kabuto's exact hiding place, but they could find the general area.
Danzo's plan was simple. The Land of Demons was completely in chaos, and it was time for him, who had been hiding behind the scenes, to appear.
"Sarutobi, huh? It's finally time to meet."
Danzo knew that he couldn't hide anymore. Since that was the case, he might as well appear in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen openly. He wanted to prove that he had chosen correctly.
On the other side, the people of Konoha, who were far away, also received orders. Sasuke looked up in the direction where Danzo disappeared. Although he couldn't see him, his strong sensing ability allowed him to feel those people flying.
Not just sensing, Sasuke could even attack enemies outside his line of sight in this place. His sensing range surpassed his vision.
"Let's hurry up and go too. The Sages of the World Government have left. It seems like something big really happened, just like Shikamaru said."
"No matter what, we have to stop this war."
Everyone nodded and set off with their troops.
This time, Sasuke and Naruto teamed up again.
There's no way around it. Naruto is too noticeable on this battlefield, especially with that pirate group, which is just targeting Naruto.
During the first battle, Naruto directly activated the bonds of over two thousand people, and the belief he held changed the color of the sky, even forming will clouds that belonged to this collective will.
This thing is the same as the world will responding to the appearance of Conqueror's Haki.
However, those who use Conqueror's Haki are heretics. Once Conqueror's Haki is activated, the reverse power appears, full of dark clouds and red lightning.
But the power on Naruto's side really belongs to the true path. The clouds that appear are orange-red, with obvious personal characteristics.
As a result, the bonds of will of those two thousand people, after fighting against that group of pirates for a short time, a red cloud appeared directly on the pirates' side.
Without even one person to make everyone's will respond, that group of people used a flag to directly elevate the basic will response to the same level as Naruto's side.
Logically speaking, even if it's like this, there's still a fight to be had.
But the other side had more people, so Naruto was beaten up again, even feeding back the elevated will, plus personal characteristics.
Forming a feature similar to Orochimaru's pirate crew, the entire troop took on Naruto's trait of never dying when his health is low, finally managing to pull a group of people back.
"Actually, there's no need to be so careful. Gato split his forces, and that pirate troop can't split its forces. We just need to hide."
Naruto consoled Sasuke with a smile. The last incident was sudden, and he turned the strength of a group of people into people with his will.
Now that he's occupying everyone's troops, Naruto is also a little embarrassed.
"Sometimes you can't necessarily hide."
"But so, the ultimate expression of Ninshu Sect power is like this. I thought it had reached its limit back in the East Sea."
Sasuke said with emotion.
"Well... back in the East Sea, it could only be said that I barely took that step, and after taking that step comes a new area with the qualifications to become the very best."
"But Big Brother Shanks reached this area long ago. Those pirates can reach the same level as me with just a flag. Sometimes it's not just about the individual. Big Brother Shanks is still amazing."
Naruto wore a smile on his face, explaining to Sasuke happily.
This kind of power actually enhances everyone; it doesn't represent individual strength. But under this group will, it can indeed block the suppression of "Conqueror's Haki," which is the influence of other group wills.
Looking at it this way, Conqueror's Haki is the most outrageous kind of power. No wonder it's being suppressed by the world will.
To be called a reverse Sage, it's indeed very different.
"No one would think of comparing themselves to Shanks. This time, be more careful. It's not just the pirates, but also that power. I'm afraid Orochimaru's pirate crew has stepped in.
If there are any more changes..."
Sasuke had a bad feeling, but it was useless to think about anything now because it hadn't happened yet.
Thinking of this, Sasuke glanced at Naruto. Naruto's expression was normal, not worried about anything.
Sasuke only glanced at Naruto.
"After this war, I'm going to the Red Line, no matter what."
"Okay, we'll go together."
Naruto nodded. Sasuke didn't ask for his help, and he didn't say he'd help Sasuke.
But they could both see the Uzumaki Clan's war with Konoha in the news.
Sasuke didn't immediately defect, and that's because Sasuke had grown a lot. He could see some of the interests and the family's position under this kind of war.
Plus, Itachi wasn't on the same battlefield as the family, which made Sasuke know certain things even more. He couldn't safely face the things Itachi didn't want to face.
As the people of Konoha set off, the people from the other ninja villages also set off with their teams.
The entire Land of Demons had completely become a battlefield. Everyone was moving, and no one was taking the Land of Demons seriously.
The Land of Demons was long gone, but the name of this country was destined to remain in history.
And Shikamaru had also issued an order to arrange for the evacuation of civilians from the Land of Demons. As for how many could be evacuated, it depended on luck.
The Marines would all be stationed in this place. As long as Gato was still in the Land of Demons, then the Land of Demons could only become a battlefield.
The Marines' initial "Buster Call" was very outrageous. It basically let the strength of the various ninja villages wipe out the government of the Land of Demons.
As for how many civilians would die, frankly, no one cared.
Moreover, even if civilians died, not too many would die; no one would intentionally target civilians.
But the following war wasn't as simple as a "Buster Call."
As the intensity of the war became higher and higher, everyone on this battlefield would die, including civilians.
This was a true hell!
And the "Moryo" from the beginning also stood up at this time.
Moryo was emitting black gas, his body was extremely strong, and his body surface was also exuding a natural energy. This was a Sage's body.
"Sure enough, it's very abnormal.
Using me as a chess piece, they actually used a Sage's body as a vessel for me. Fortunately, no one should be paying attention to me now."
Moryo spoke calmly.
Then, he led his elite subordinates toward a direction.
He was a demon, but the so-called demon was still not enough compared to the people in this world.
Destroying a country with just a word, even a demon thought it was terrifying.
And Moryo, this so-called demon, wasn't as terrifying as the World Government. How many people had died at his hands?
Looking at the people who had died in battle in the Land of Demons during this period, it was probably already in the tens of thousands.
"We have to use the power of the dead, and we still need to find the witch and merge with the power on the witch's body.
It's a pity about this body, the body of a Sage, it's really not bad."
Moryo smiled, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to be released from the seal in this era.
At this time, with the people from all sides entering the stage, the war was also starting again.
It was a complete battle, and both sides completely lost all control over the other's traces at this moment.
And the first main forces to meet were Kimimaro and Gaara.
Kimimaro's name wasn't obvious on the battlefield of the Land of Demons. He had always been studying, using various command tactics.
He usually wouldn't appear on the front lines, but everyone except Kabuto was fighting this time.
And Kimimaro's troops only had Kimimaro himself, and the reason was simple, because Kimimaro was too strong.
As for Gaara, it was for the same reason. As the only person in the ninja world to catch up with Shanks on the taijutsu panel, this alone gave him the qualifications to act independently.
"One person?"
"You're one person too."
"You're strong."
Kimimaro looked at Gaara not far away. Gaara was strong. Reto said that he was a person who was qualified to catch up with Shanks in taijutsu.
"You're also very strong. My gut tells me."
Gaara also opened his mouth calmly. Part of his body turned directly into sand and floated up.
This was the situation that would occur when Gaara sensed danger.
He had eaten a fruit reversed from the One-Tail Shukaku a few days ago, the Logia Sand-Sand Fruit.
Now he was very strong, but the opponent was probably even stronger than the opponents he had seen before.
"Logia fruit, huh? Not bad."
Kimimaro praised.
"However, in the New World, Logia types aren't that rare. My power will be harmful to Logia types."
After saying that, several bone thorns pierced out of Kimimaro's body. The snow-white bone thorns were covered in black in an instant. The pitch-black was even more terrifying than the snow-white.
"Armament Haki..."
Gaara's eyes narrowed slightly.
Kimimaro, the captain of the First Division of the Beasts Pirates, a Mythical Zoan fruit Bone Thorn Dragon fruit power user, was powerful.
But Gaara didn't expect that Kimimaro had already mastered Armament Haki.
But the fact that the other party brought out such strength to deal with him wasn't underestimating him, either.
"I'm going."
Kimimaro opened his mouth politely. The moment he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
Stepping down, the grass under his feet also withered in an instant, turning into sand. Gaara also attacked.
Two black shadows crossed each other in the sandstorm, then fought again, entangled together.
A series of explosions from the air came from the battlefield, and flashes of light occasionally flashed.
Both of them walked the taijutsu path, and their taijutsu was extremely strong. With the effect of the Devil Fruit ability, it was impossible to tell the winner in a short time.
On the other side, Obito and Black Zetsu had also seen the chaos of the battlefield, but they couldn't interfere. They didn't have the ability.
Until now, they hadn't figured out how Gato and Kabuto were connected, but as long as they didn't take action, it was fine.
"There's only the Nine-Tails' Chakra left. Kabuto has revived Ginkaku and Kinkaku. We just need to take the Chakra from them."
"Since that's the case, let him take action."
Obito also opened his mouth. It was already this time, just the last step. His cooperation with Black Zetsu was about to end.
As a wooden coffin slowly emerged from the ground, the coffin door was also opened.
A pressure emanated from the wooden coffin. Obito and Black Zetsu's expressions changed. Under the influence of the new era, they would tremble because of Madara's posture.
The man in front of him, even if he was a remnant of the old era, was terrifyingly strong.
"Master, this is your weapon."
Black Zetsu immediately changed his face the moment Madara appeared.
Madara didn't put his eyes on Black Zetsu; he looked at Obito on the side.
"Tell me all the information you have now. I'll take care of what happens next."
Madara's tone was indifferent and arrogant, natural arrogance, the true arrogance of the Uchiha Clan.
At this time, Obito respectfully took out the information he had collected. Madara opened the first page, which was Shanks' bounty.
A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
He looked at the horizon, the direction where he met Shanks, and in that direction, there was a part of his will, on his weapon.
"Start the plan. The Nine-Tails' Chakra will arrive within three hours."
A terrifying Chakra rose from Madara's body. The huge Perfect Susanoo flew into the sky, and terrifying energy gathered around the Susanoo's body without any restraint.
Unbridled, arrogant!
He's back.
