Chapter 909: Surrender or Destruction! (Combined Chapter)
"Roar----"
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, a true Colossus.
Having just reappeared between Heaven and Earth.
It excitedly swung the Tail behind it with great force.
Each swing stirred up large gusts of Gale.
It opened its Gaping Maw, its pair of crimson Vertical Pupils gazing at the somewhat gloomy Sky overhead, letting out a hysterical Roar.
At the same time.
An incredibly violent and terrifying Aura, causing the thousands of Citizens within Konohagakure to feel palpitations, poured out from the Nine-Tails without restraint.
If not for the crimson Uchiha Flame Barrier blocking most of the turbulent waves.
At this moment, the Main Gate, Walls, and Buildings within two to three hundred meters of Konohagakure would definitely have been completely destroyed.
At this moment, many Konoha Ninja and Citizens suddenly remembered that there was still such a terrifying Strongest Tailed Beast in the Village.
Could the Nine-Tails help them repel Aramaki?
Hope resurfaced in some people's Hearts.
In the Hearts of most people in the Ninja World, Tailed Beasts symbolize ultimate Weapons comparable to Natural Disasters.
Somewhat like Nuclear Weapons in the minds of Modern People.
"Given the Nine-Tails' Strength and its Characteristic as a Tailed Beast, even if it can't repel the opponent, it should be able to hold them back for a long time."
Senju Tobirama coldly watched the giant Fox outside the Barrier Jutsu.
In his opinion, they just needed to wait for Big Brother to return.
Then, sealing the Nine-Tails back into Kushina's Body wouldn't be difficult.
Actually, if it were other Tailed Beasts.
Senju Tobirama was confident that they could handle it themselves.
However, the Nine-Tails' Strength was significantly greater than other Tailed Beasts.
In his impression, only Big Brother's Wood Release and the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan could easily Suppress it.
However, the Nine-Tails' subsequent Reaction was beyond everyone's expectation.
Including Aramaki outside the Barrier Jutsu.
Based on the Height Advantage of the 'Wood Golem' beneath him, he could look down at the Nine-Tails, which was roughly a hundred meters away, lying prostrate on the Ground and staring intently at him, yet not charging forward immediately.
This made Aramaki somewhat surprised.
He then revealed a rather bold Smile, grinning as he asked, "Hey, Great Fox, aren't you going to attack?"
"Why?"
The Nine-Tails was silent for a moment.
Then, it clearly spoke a shocking counter-question.
Inside the crimson Barrier Jutsu.
Senju Tobirama, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, all the Konoha Ninja, and even Minato Namikaze in Konoha Hospital, all had their Expressions change drastically.
How could this Nine-Tails not have lost its Rationality due to extreme Anger?
Aramaki, hearing this, also raised a Finger with a strange Expression and pointed at the Ninja separated from him by the crimson Barrier Jutsu.
"Aren't you with them?"
"Didn't they release you to deal with me?"
The Nine-Tails' pair of crimson eyes glanced at Senju Tobirama, Orochimaru, and the others, and it sneered:
"They are the ones who forcibly captured me, Sealing me inside those two Women's Bodies, and kept me confined in a narrow Cage for decades. How could we be together? Why would I help them against you?"
These words left the Konoha Ninja speechless.
But expressions of annoyance still appeared on their Faces.
All this time, including Senju Tobirama, Minato Namikaze, and even Kushina Uzumaki the Jinchuriki, had regarded Tailed Beasts as Magic Beasts constantly filled with Anger, who would inevitably attack everything around them without Rationality once released.
But they had never considered why these Tailed Beasts were so filled with Anger and so crazy.
Or perhaps, they simply didn't care, or perhaps, it was expected for Tailed Beasts to be crazy, otherwise how could they be used as War Weapons?
But they didn't know that while the Nine-Tails was inside Kushina Uzumaki's Body, due to the mature Sealing Technique User, it couldn't affect the Jinchuriki's Sleep like Shukaku in the Canon.
But it could still 'see' and 'hear' what was happening outside.
This was perhaps the only Mercy the Ninja gave to the Tailed Beasts.
Of course, given Kushina Uzumaki's Sealing Jutsu Level.
Under certain Special Circumstances, she could also temporarily prevent the Nine-Tails from seeing the outside world.
But this didn't include when Minato Namikaze was having normal Communication with her.
This also allowed the Nine-Tails to learn about the origin of the World Government.
Invaders from Another World!
A massive Influence/Power that had already Conquest several Worlds!
This sparked Hope in the Nine-Tails' Heart.
Although the Sage of Six Paths had once told them, the Tailed Beasts: In the Future, someone would correctly lead them onto the right path.
But a thousand years had passed, and not only had they not met such a Human.
They hadn't even met anyone who treated them kindly.
Coupled with the experience of being subjected to Sealing for so many years.
It made them completely Despair of the Humans in This World.
So the Nine-Tails decided to take this opportunity to talk with Aramaki.
In fact, this also had a lot to do with Kushina Uzumaki.
Because she had never thought about controlling the Tailed Beast's Strength, nor did she have Experience using the Tailed Beast's Strength.
She hadn't even tried Communication with the Nine-Tails.
Mutual Understanding, deepening their Feelings, and thus gain its recognition.
Therefore, she was completely unable to perform the 'Full Tailed Beast Transformation' that only a 'Perfect Jinchuriki' could do.
Which is controlling the Tailed Beast's full Strength with one's own Will.
This resulted in her current method of summoning the Nine-Tails being very similar to Gaara's state when using the 'Feigning Sleep Technique' in the 'Canon', both allowing the Tailed Beast's Consciousness to fully dominate their Body.
"Uh, hearing you say that, it does make a lot of Principle, la ha ha ha ha~~"
Aramaki was amused by the Nine-Tails' words.
His distinctive Style of laughter passed through the crimson Barrier Jutsu and reached the ears of every Konoha Ninja, making their faces, already filled with Anger, turn even paler.
"So what do you want now? To leave this place?"
Aramaki finished laughing and looked at the Nine-Tails, teasing with interest.
"I can Team Up with you to blast open this Barrier Jutsu, but before that, I want to ask you, can you help me completely break free from this Women's Body, and also ensure I won't be captured by these Humans in the Ninja World again?"
The Nine-Tails spoke its Idea using its charming Voice.
[Swish!]
Senju Tobirama heard these words.
He immediately couldn't restrain himself, jumping onto Konohagakure's City Wall and Roaring in Anger.
"Nine-Tails, are you betraying the World you were born in?!"
Although they were already mentally prepared to Surrender to the World Government.
This didn't prevent Senju Tobirama from questioning the Nine-Tails like this now.
It was merely a linguistic technique attempting to influence the Nine-Tails.
"Should I just keep being locked up by you?"
The Nine-Tails retorted disdainfully.
After speaking, it ignored him completely, turning its Gaze to Aramaki, waiting for an answer with some Nervousness and some Expectation.
"Hmm..."
Aramaki stroked his Chin and pondered for a long time, saying, "Stopping them from taking you back is definitely not a problem."
Delight immediately appeared on the Nine-Tails' fox Face, but then it heard Aramaki say the next sentence.
"As for whether I can release you, I'm not really sure. At least, I don't think I have that Ability."
This made the Nine-Tails' Mood sink, but unexpectedly, after pausing for a few seconds, Aramaki spoke again:
"However, once we Conquest This World, we'll just have them release you then."
The entire process made the Nine-Tails' emotions fluctuate.
It even suspected that Aramaki might be teasing it.
However, in order to regain Freedom, the Nine-Tails, applying Rationality, suppressed the Anger in its Heart.
It was still the same point.
These Tailed Beasts were not Wild Beasts to begin with, but Intelligent Life with a thousand years of Experience.
"Alright then, I'll help you break this Barrier Jutsu!"
The Nine-Tails immediately made its Decision.
Without waiting for Aramaki to ask, it proactively said:
"Earlier, I heard Kushina's simple evaluation of this 'Uchiha Flame Formation'."
"She told Minato Namikaze that Madara Uchiha was indeed a remarkable Genius. The 'Uchiha Flame Formation' he created, while capable of summoning Underground Flames and continuously replenishing Energy, can also easily block our Tailed Beasts' Tailed Beast Bombs."
"However, the Strength it can withstand in a short period also has an Upper Limit. Kushina speculated that it could withstand the simultaneous attack of at most three Tailed Beast Bombs."
"Although the Power of my Tailed Beast Bomb is somewhat stronger than other Tailed Beasts, it's still far from the combined total of three Tailed Beast Bombs."
Aramaki, standing on top of the 'Wood Golem', nodded repeatedly as he listened.
Meanwhile, the Expressions of Senju Tobirama, Jiraiya, Nara Shikaku, and the others opposite them grew increasingly grim.
As for Orochimaru, his Face was expressionless.
Because for him, even if the Barrier Jutsu was blasted open by Aramaki.
It didn't matter if Konoha was then subjected to forceful Suppression, as long as he could join the World Government as quickly as possible.
Of course.
Orochimaru wouldn't be foolish enough to show these Ideas.
"What do we do now?" Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru in a panic.
This was his subconscious Reaction.
As long as Orochimaru was nearby, whenever they encountered a problem, they would ask Orochimaru first.
Tsunade was the same.
Among the 'Sannin', Orochimaru had always been the Intelligence expert.
Not to mention that Orochimaru was already the Fourth Hokage.
As for Senju Tobirama, Jiraiya didn't Familiarize.
"There's no Method. We can only hope this 'Uchiha Flame Formation' can hold on."
Orochimaru replied indifferently.
"Ah, Kushina too, why did she evaluate this Barrier Jutsu for no reason!"
Jiraiya complained with a helpless Expression, covering his Face.
Nara Shikaku sighed, "We can't blame her. Who could have predicted Future Matters? It's even more impossible to have thought that the Nine-Tails would betray us on the Frontline, sigh..."
Senju Tobirama didn't speak, because he also felt helpless at this moment.
Aramaki and the Nine-Tails.
When they stood together, it truly made one feel Despair.
Outside.
Aramaki and the Nine-Tails had already faced the Konoha Gate and taken their respective Positions.
From here, they could see the Stone Statues of Hashirama Senju, Senju Tobirama, and Hiruzen Sarutobi carved on the Hokage Rock through the translucent crimson Barrier Jutsu.
It was just a pity that Orochimaru's Stone Statue probably wouldn't have a chance to be added...
The next moment.
The Nine-Tails and Aramaki each prepared their own attacks.
The former lay on the Ground, raising its head and opening its Gaping Maw full of Fangs, condensing streams of purple and Black Energy Light Points out of thin air.
These Light Points gradually mixed in front of its mouth, forming a massive Sphere with a purple Halo wrapping around the Black Energy inside.
The surging Aura transformed into layers of Strong Wind sweeping across the entire area.
On the other side.
Beneath Aramaki, the nearly hundred-meter-tall Wood Golem, identical to him in appearance except for its color and entirely constructed from 'Adam Wood', was raising its massive Right Arm, its Palm slowly clenching into a fist.
In the blink of an eye, a Black (Haki) color quickly dyed the surface of the fist and arm.
Then, a faint red, enchanting floating Light flowed across the surface like water ripples.
Immediately after, the faint Green Light of Photosynthesis Energy enveloped all of this.
An Energy Layer of Green Light in the shape of a horned Bull Head appeared around the fist and arm.
The next moment.
The Nine-Tails and Aramaki launched their attacks on the 'Uchiha Flame Formation' Barrier Jutsu almost simultaneously.
"Tailed Beast Bomb!!!"
"Fist of Dread!!!"
At this instant.
The Sense of Danger in the Hearts of Senju Tobirama, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya reached its maximum.
This made them certain that the Barrier Jutsu before them wouldn't withstand this wave of attacks, even before they saw the Collision.
"Use Earth Release together!"
Senju Tobirama let out a Roar that echoed throughout the area, just a second before the Tailed Beast Bomb and Aramaki's Wood Golem's Right Fist struck the crimson Barrier Jutsu.
[BOOM!!!!]
An earth-shattering, deafening Loud Noise erupted on the spot.
The Dark Clouds formed Overhead Konoha, influenced by the Ice-Ice Fruit Ability.
Were almost instantly torn apart and completely dispersed by an unimaginable Shockwave.
At the same time, the extremely brilliant Radiance was like the scene of a Nuclear Explosion, visible to the Citizens of the Land of Fire hundreds of kilometers away.
The vast Earth was also torn open with hideous 'Wounds' amidst the violent Tremor of 'rumbling'.
It should be known that Senju Tobirama, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and the others.
Previously, to prevent anyone from entering the Village from Underground.
They mobilized a large number of Ninja skilled in Earth Release to specifically apply Hardening to the Ground around Konohagakure.
Despite this, it was still easily torn open by this terrifying Tremor.
At the Southern Coast of the Land of Fire.
Even Kuzan and Hashirama Senju, who were in a Standoff, subconsciously looked up in Konoha's Direction.
It was unknown how much Time had passed.
When the Radiance dissipated, when the Rumble stopped.
Heaven and Earth seemed to fall into Dead Silence.
Only thick rolling Thick Smoke enveloped the entirety of Konoha.
Not long after.
When the Smoke dispersed slightly under the effect of the Wind.
Many large and small Stones could be seen falling onto the Streets and Alleys.
Even smashing into Houses and causing severe collapse.
Those were the Stone Wall Fragments that the Ninja, through a Team Up, had manufactured In the Nick of Time, only to be destroyed layer by layer and sent flying within three seconds.
Not long after.
Seemingly recovering from the panic.
Screams, one after another, rose from various parts of Konohagakure.
These Humans watched in extreme terror as their Familiarize Relatives and Friends died tragically before their eyes in an instant.
And those closer to the Main Gate didn't even have a chance to Scream.
Their entire families, along with their Houses, had long been completely destroyed by the sweeping Shockwave, blown away to who knows where.
The Corpses of the Konoha Ninja were even more visible everywhere.
They were the Warriors and Heroes who stood on the Frontline, directly facing the Nine-Tails and Aramaki.
[Thud!]
Just then, heavy Footsteps reached the ears of the extremely disheveled Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Nara Shikaku, and the other Hidden Leaf High Council members, as well as Senju Tobirama, whose half-Body was rapidly gathering Dust and in a state of Rebirth.
Instantly.
An extremely massive Beast Claw with orange-red Hair quickly swept through, stirring up a surging Gale that blew away all the Thick Smoke.
Immediately, the Nine-Tails reappeared before everyone's eyes.
And its Position was exactly where the Konoha Gate used to be.
The Nine-Tails officially stepped into Konohagakure.
And Aramaki, who was standing on the Nine-Tails' head at some unknown Time.
The Black (Haki) Coat of Justice behind him flapped loudly in the Gale.
"La ha ha ha ha ha~~"
Aramaki puffed out his bare, muscular Chest, crossed his arms in front of him, and laughed wildly, tilting his head back.
"Finally! Finally! I, the great me, have finally captured Konoha!!!"
The next moment.
The Earth within Konohagakure began to shake with a 'rumbling' sound once again.
This caused all the Ninja and Citizens to show Expressions of Despair, or even numbness.
Some Humans had already hugged their Children, closing their eyes and waiting for Death to arrive.
"What are you doing, Aramaki!!"
Senju Tobirama let out a Roar in uncontrollable Anger.
Clearly, he placed great Importance on this Village that he and Big Brother had established together.
As for Madara Uchiha, didn't he defect?
Then it had nothing to do with him!
[Thump thump thump thump...]
At this moment, people saw tall, thick Trees breaking out of the Earth.
Almost instantly submerging Konoha in a Sea of Trees.
At this very moment, everyone's life and death were in Aramaki's Hands.
"Cough cough!"
Aramaki stood on the Nine-Tails' head, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly towards the front:
"Listen up, everyone!"
"I, the great me, Aramaki, a Marine Headquarters Admiral under the World Government, officially declare the Occupation of Konoha!"
"Now, I, the great me, in my great Mercy, am giving you a chance to make a Choice!"
"Surrender? Or Destruction? Make your Decision!"
Senju Tobirama, Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku, and all the other Konoha Ninja were instantly struck by Petrification.
They had wanted to Surrender ages ago, okay?
You were the ones who didn't give us the chance!
(End of Chapter)
Regarding the issues of World Fusion and Planet Attachment.
Now, the Council Members and I in the group are facing a difficult decision.
Therefore, I would like to chat with all the Readers who have subscribed here.
If you Support, please type 'Support' in the Chapter Comments. If you oppose, please type 'Oppose'.
It's best to also state the reasons for supporting and opposing, and everyone's Idea.
1. Regarding merging the Worlds controlled by 'Star Fate' into the World, do you Support or oppose?
For example, merging the Imperial Arms World. Then, a certain part of the Great Sea in the World would see the emergence of that World's Continent and Nation, while various Danger Beast would also scatter everywhere.
But at the same time, the World would also become even larger, and more Continents would appear.
2. Regarding pulling the Planet controlled by 'Star Fate' around the World, gradually forming a Galaxy centered around the World, do you Support or oppose?
(Don't worry about any Gravity issues, just leave it to the 'Golden Finger' Star Map to handle it.)

Chapter 910: We Are Assassins! (Combined Chapter)
At the border between the Country of Rain and the Land of Birds.
This place was a major spectacle in the Ninja World, like the dividing line between the 'Yellow Sea' and the 'Bohai Sea'.
To the west, the Land of Birds was clearly sunny and clear, but to the east, the Country of Rain was covered in dark clouds, with continuous rain.
Of course, it occasionally didn't rain in the Country of Rain. Only then did the skies of the two countries appear connected.
"Yahiko, Nagato, look, it's raining ahead, we're almost home!"
Konan, twelve years old this year, wearing a grey-black Chunin Vest.
While supporting the weakened Nagato with Yahiko, she looked at the distant dark Sky Color and said excitedly.
For her, although the Country of Rain was damp and cold, it was the shared home of the Three Little Ones.
"Yeah, but Yahiko, have you thought about how to face Hanzo?"
Nagato asked softly, looking tired.
For him, who was also only twelve years old, the consumption of the Rinnegan was truly somewhat unbearable.
This was thanks to his Uzumaki Physique; an ordinary Child would have died long ago.
"There's nothing to think about. He was the one who abandoned us then, he should be the one to explain."
Yahiko's Gaze was steady as he supported Nagato, walking step by step towards the Country of Rain.
"Then how do we explain surviving?"
Deep worry flowed in Konan's Eyes.
"Just say that taking advantage of the opportunity when Sunagakure's Fourth Kazekage attacked, I used the Power of the Two-Tails to cover our escape."
Yahiko had clearly thought this through, and his answer seemed very calm.
Anyway, it definitely couldn't be Nagato's Rinnegan.
"Indeed, although we haven't seen the Opponent, since it's a Fukurokuju, their Strength must not be weak. It's reasonable for them to eventually defeat Stone Hidden's Jonin Kitsuchi."
Nagato nodded, agreeing with Yahiko's statement.
After all, the Rain Ninja who were present at the time were all dead.
Coupled with the current Situation of Amegakure and Hanzo, they had no Ability to investigate outside Intelligence.
"Yahiko, have you ever thought that, taking advantage of Hanzo's serious injury this time, we..."
Nagato looked at Yahiko, hesitating to speak.
He felt that with his Rinnegan and the Opponent's Two-Tails.
They should have the Ability to defeat the current Hanzo, and then the Three Little Ones could control Amegakure.
Although they were only twelve or thirteen years old...
"No."
Yahiko shook his head and refused without hesitation.
"Although Hanzo treated us as pawns, we all knew the Situation at the time. He himself lost an arm, which is completely understandable."
"And besides that, towards us... Of course, mainly towards me, he not only did nothing wrong but actually showed kindness to me. Furthermore, for the past ten-odd years, he has been protecting Amegakure against the invasion of other Great Ninja Villages."
"Given all this, how could I do something treacherous?"
Nagato felt somewhat ashamed by Yahiko's words and said in a low voice, "Sorry, Yahiko, I was wrong."
"It's okay."
Yahiko lightly bumped the other person's head full of red hair with his own head, and said with a Smile, "It's alright, I know you're thinking of me~"
[Swish swish swish swish!]
But the sudden Whistling Sound in their ears made the Three Little Ones' Expression change drastically.
At this moment, Jiraiya's past teachings came into play.
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, almost instantly, stood back-to-back, forming a Triangle Formation.
At the same time, they pulled out Kunai and vigilantly watched the Figures appearing around them.
There were about twenty people on the other side.
Each of them wore a pitch-black Ninja Alias.
On their foreheads or arms were Headbands printed with the 'Five-Circle Cross' pattern.
A Long Saber in a Black Scabbard was slung diagonally across their backs.
Crucially, from the sharp Aura they displayed and the Muscle Markings on their exposed parts, it was clear they were not weak.
"Who are you? Which Ninja Village are you from? What do you want with us?"
Yahiko looked at the white-haired Ninja who was clearly in a leadership position.
He saw that the other person's Attire was very... luxurious?
First, there were plum blossom-like radiating red Markings around his left Eye.
Hanging down on both sides of his face were head ornaments strung together with irregular Diamonds, shimmering with Flowing Light under the Sunlight.
He also had Gold ornaments on his left Earlobes and right wrist.
On the deltoid Muscles of his two exposed, thick arms, he wore a circle of large Gold bracelets.
Crucially, the other person's appearance, combined with his wine-red Eyes and deep Gaze.
Not only did it not give people a feeling of 'Earth'.
Instead, it looked like he had a gorgeous, noble temperament.
As for the other Ninja around, they were all somewhat odd-looking.
"Sea Ninja Village, under the CIPHER POL Headquarters of the World Government."
"That is our origin, and I am a Jonin of the Sea Ninja Village, 'Sound Hashira' Tengen Uzui."
Tengen Uzui curiously sized up the three Youngsters before him.
Especially Nagato, followed by Yahiko.
As for Konan, she could only be considered a cute Little Girl.
Because he had already received Intelligence regarding the Rinnegan Ability and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
Coupled with their Age of twelve...
This Age was simply too young.
Back in the former Demon Slayer Corps, they wouldn't even be able to be Mizunoto Rank Members.
At most, they would be receiving Breathing Style training from a Cultivator.
But based on the Intelligence content.
Nagato and Yahiko's current Strength, even the former Hashira, or even the Twelve Kizuki, might not be their Opponent!
The reason for saying 'might' was.
Tengen Uzui was mainly considering the Demon's super Recovery Ability at night.
"I am here to invite the three of you to Rōran. There, you will know all the Truth."
Towards children.
Tengen Uzui felt his Attitude was very friendly.
But Yahiko and the others did not appreciate it.
"Hehe, Uncle, even children know not to follow strangers. We happen to be children, so there's no way we're going with you!"
"Uh..."
Tengen Uzui was stunned for a moment, rubbing his Chin and muttering to himself, "That makes a lot of sense. What sensible children. If I have children in the future, I hope they can be like you..."
Hotei, Fukurokuju, and the others nearby immediately had a Black Line.
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan also felt speechless.
Konan whispered, "This person doesn't seem like a bad guy..."
"..."
Yahiko and Nagato also had black lines appear on their heads.
"Please, Konan, he's here to capture us!"
Nagato couldn't help but retort, and Konan stuck out her Informant shyly, "Hehe, oh yeah~"
"I'll state it again, I'm here to invite you. If you refuse, we can only take you."
Tengen Uzui spread his Palm and said helplessly, "This is our Mission. Since you are also Ninja, you should be able to understand, right? So, can you please cooperate..."
"We can understand, but we cannot cooperate!" Yahiko said in a deep voice.
At the same time, he said to the Two-Tails inside him, "Sister Matatabi, can you help me one more time?"
"Okay, be careful."
Matatabi's gentle voice appeared in Yahiko's mind.
It must be said, Matatabi was probably the easiest Tailed Beast to communicate with.
The next moment.
A Blue Light flashed in Yahiko's Eyes.
Immediately, wisps of eerie Blue Flames with black spiral Markings appeared out of nowhere on his Body.
Finally, a floating blue fire Tail formed behind his back.
"Is that the Power of the Two-Tails..."
Tengen Uzui raised his hands and slowly drew the black and gold Twin Swords from his back.
The twenty Hidden Sea Ninja around him, including Hotei and Yazaemon, also prepared to Attack.
For a moment.
The Atmosphere In the Court became incredibly oppressive.
And behind everyone was the continuously raining Country of Rain territory.
The 'pitter-patter' sound of rain kept drifting into the sunny Land of Birds territory.
"Jonin, attack when the Timing is right! Chunin, monitor the surroundings to prevent interference from other Ninja!"
Tengen Uzui shouted loudly.
As soon as his voice fell.
He stomped his foot, and as the Ground cracked, his Figure instantly blurred, leaving only an Afterimage in place.
"Fire Rat Ball!"
"Paper Shuriken Jutsu!"
Yahiko and Konan attacked simultaneously.
The former spat out a rat-shaped Blue Fireball from his mouth.
When it 'ran' a certain Distance.
It suddenly Split into smaller, but more numerous, Blue Flames.
These Flames, with extremely precise Speed and force.
Merged with the Paper Shuriken thrown by Konan during their high-speed flight.
Instantly.
Sharp White Paper burning with blue fire danced across the Sky amidst Whistling Sounds.
But Tengen Uzui's movements were like dancing among them.
With various extremely elegant movements, he easily dodged every blue fire.
"How is this possible..." Konan was in disbelief.
"What incredible Perception Ability, and his Body Control is also perfectly flawless!"
Nagato observed Tengen Uzui's every movement with his Eyes that had long turned into Rinnegan.
"I'll go first!"
At this moment, Yahiko raised his hands, holding his Fingernails that had become sharp and long.
He forcefully swung the long blue fire Tail behind him.
With a 'swish', he turned into an eerie blue Afterimage and rushed out.
"Heh, too slow, Boy~~"
Facing Yahiko, who pounced like a Cat.
Tengen Uzui casually dodged the Attack and appeared beside Nagato.
At the same time, he bent his upper Body backward, smoothly avoiding the blue fire Tail's strike.
He then used the Sword Hilt in his Right Hand to strike the back of Yahiko's neck, preparing to knock him out directly.
But he found that more Blue Flames surged from Yahiko's Body, seemingly trying to force him back using this method.
"Not a bad Idea, but unfortunately, too weak~"
Tengen Uzui didn't bother with the Paper Shuriken Konan hurriedly threw again.
He directly 'Hardened' a layer of Armament Haki on his right arm and Nichirin Blade.
Enduring the burning of the Blue Flames, he struck Yahiko's neck heavily with a 'bang'.
With this strike.
Yahiko only felt a Severe Pain first, and then fell into Darkness.
At the same time.
Tengen Uzui's Body was forcibly pulled over by an invisible Strength.
"Yahiko!!"
"Universal Pull!"
Nagato glared angrily with his purple Rinnegan and let out a Roar.
He had just thought that Yahiko's Two-Tails Flames could force Tengen Uzui back.
So his Reaction was a beat slow.
Unexpectedly, this directly resulted in Yahiko being knocked out before he even had a chance to enter Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.
"So that's it, this is Gravity?"
Tengen Uzui, who was forcibly pulled into Mid-air and faced with attacks from Paper Shuriken, remained calm.
After all, he had known about Nagato's Means for a long time.
Ōnoki's previous serious injury was actually due to being caught off guard.
He had never expected anyone to be able to forcibly pull him down from the Sky.
Even less did he expect another 'Shinra Tensei' to follow right after.
But despite this.
If Nagato and the others hadn't left immediately at that time, they would have been 100% in trouble.
Although Ōnoki was injured at the time and his back was strained...
It didn't mean he didn't have the Ability to continue Combat.
On the contrary, Nagato here simply couldn't use 'Shinra Tensei' a second time.
No choice, he was too young right now...
"Sound Breathing, First Form, Sound Burst... Roar!"
The two Gold Blades in Tengen Uzui's hands did not slash downwards at the Ground this time, but instead struck each other heavily in front of him.
The faces of Hotei, Fukurokuju, Takumi, and the other Hidden Sea Jonin who saw this scene changed drastically, and they all turned into Afterimages, pulling back a Distance of nearly a hundred meters in all directions.
Instantly.
A deafening Loud Noise exploded In the Court with a 'dong'.
That overly intense Sound Wave.
Actually formed visible Shockwave Ripples in the Air.
This was the Power of the Technique Tengen Uzui achieved by combining Sound Breathing, Nichirin Exploding Blade, and the Sound-Wave Fruit Ability.
Even a light touch was enough to make one's eardrums ache.
Let alone a heavy strike of the Blades like this.
The Paper Shuriken that approached first shattered into pieces in Mid-air the moment they came into contact with the 'Ripple'.
Then, like a Wave, they surged towards Nagato and Konan in a mighty torrent.
Of course, the Speed of sound is extremely fast.
These descriptions were all 'Screen Feed' from Nagato's Eyes.
Nagato stepped forward and stood in front of Konan.
He raised his hands forward, facing Tengen Uzui.
"Shinra Tensei!"
The Power of the Rinnegan surged violently within him, transforming into a powerful, surging Repulsion, pushing forward along his arms.
Instantly.
The invisible Repulsion turned into a vast Air Current and collided with the rolling Sound Waves in the form of Ripples In the Court.
[Roar!!!]
An unimaginable, earth-shattering Rumble echoed throughout the entire area.
The terrifying Strength instantly shattered the Ground.
At the same time, gusts of Gale swept out in all directions.
Making the Hidden Sea Ninja in the distance struggle to maintain their Figures in the fierce wind.
From the Result, it seemed the two sides fought to a Draw.
The Repulsion and Sound Wave canceled each other out...
However.
Nagato was already covering his Eyes, kneeling on the Ground in Suffering.
"Nagato!!"
Konan ran to his side in extreme anxiety, "Are you alright?!"
But Nagato couldn't answer her now.
He only felt that the Chakra in his Body was about to be drained, and his head was throbbing with waves of Severe Pain.
"You've done your best, just sleep for a while first."
At this moment, Tengen Uzui walked over.
He casually dodged the Kunai Konan desperately stabbed at him, and then used his Palm to knock Nagato unconscious.
"So, do you want to faint with them, or stay conscious and watch them?"
Tengen Uzui calmly looked at Konan, whose Cheeks were flushed with Anger.
"Ah, this..."
Konan was stunned on the spot.
Her beautiful, light orange Eyes were filled with hesitation.
"Alright, you seem like a smart Girl too. Go and help up the boy named Yahiko."
Tengen Uzui's handsome face showed a friendly Smile.
He was always gentle towards Women.
"Don't worry, I truly have no intention of harming you. You will know everything when we get to Rōran~"
Konan was Conflicted for a moment.
Finally, biting her pink lips, her Eyes shimmering with tears, she turned and ran towards Yahiko, who was still unconscious on the Ground.
She was so scared, so powerless, but she knew she had to be Strong now.
"It's okay, it's okay, Yahiko, Nagato, we will definitely be together Eternal, whether in Life or death..."
Konan, only twelve years old, cried as she held Yahiko and whispered.
"Eh? Why do I feel like I've become a bad guy who bullies children?"
Not far away, Tengen Uzui helped up Nagato's weak Body and joked about himself.
At the same time.
The Commotion in the Land of Fire territory recently was truly too great.
And it came wave after wave.
First, Aramaki fought against Konoha's ten thousand Ninja Army.
Immediately after, Aramaki fought against Hashirama Senju and Senju Tobirama.
Then later, Kuzan and Hashirama Senju met in the south.
Finally, just now, Aramaki teamed up with the Nine-Tails to forcibly blast open the Uchiha Flame Formation.
Each time was earth-shattering, echoing throughout the entire Land of Fire.
This caused the Citizens in the various Cities, Towns, and Villages to be panicked and Unease, living like years in a day.
Those living in the Capital City of the Land of Fire were the most scared.
After all, compared to other small places.
They could receive more Information.
Therefore, they had more or less heard about the general origin of these commotions.
Even some Truth about the World Government.
After all, almost all the Ninja in Konoha already knew about the Otherworld Matter.
This was over ten thousand people, it was impossible to completely block the News.
Just as the Atmosphere Inside the City was filled with panic.
Many Citizens and Samurai were surprised to find that a thick Purple Mist had, at some unknown time, enveloped the entire outer area of the Daimyo Palace Castle.
From inside, unsettling Screams and Killing Sounds were occasionally heard...
"Someone is attacking!"
"Quick, protect the Daimyo!!"
This made the Samurai outside the Fortress react immediately.
They all drew the Long Sabers from their Waist and rushed into the Purple Mist.
They were fine at first, but as they ran, they found themselves getting dizzy and having headaches. At the same time, their Breathing became increasingly difficult, and finally, in a Dazed state, they fell to the Ground one after another, powerless.
Inside the wide Palace within the Daimyo City.
Twelve Able-Bodied Youth men, wearing their casual clothes but each with a 'Fire' character belt tied around their Waist.
Were leading a group of Samurai whose Blade were wrapped in Blue Chakra, protecting the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who was almost scared stiff, in the center.
And their Opponents were men and Women in black, dressed in Suits or Professional Skirt Suits.
"Who are you people, daring to attack this Daimyo City!"
One bald man dressed as a monk shouted angrily, questioning them.
Although he had actually guessed it in his Heart...
"Is this the so-called 'Twelve Guardian Ninja'?"
"Finish them off quickly before I clean up the other places."
"After all, our Mission is Assassination."
Suddenly, although no one In the Court spoke.
A detached voice appeared and entered everyone's ears.
"Yes, Captain Amatori!!!"
"Understood, Captain~"
The twenty CP8 Members, led by Levi, Lubbock, Sheele, Mashiro Moritaka, and others, answered in unison.
Only Meilard, this woman who had just been transferred from CP1, who was extremely charming and incredibly sexy, seemed different.
But no one cared, after all, she was considered the Strongest Combat Power on the scene.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 911: Sage Jutsu? Crimson Vajra! (Combined Chapter)
The Daimyo Palace Castle of the Land of Fire.
It should be the largest and most luxurious Daimyo Palace Castle among the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations.
It occupies almost one-third of the entire Capital City.
The Palaces, large and small, are absolutely grand and magnificent in the Ninja World.
Each Courtyard is bright and spacious, with lush flowers and leaves, and even small rivers winding through them.
These things often make the Daimyo of the other four nations envious.
But there's no helping it; the Land of Fire is just so uniquely blessed in This World.
However, this magnificent Daimyo Palace Castle is now filled with Purple Qi, with corpses strewn everywhere.
A not-very-strong, but sufficiently noticeable Smell of Blood drifts through every corner.
[Boom!]
The sloping roof ridge of the most magnificent Main Hall, made of Hinoki Bark Roofing, suddenly exploded from within with a powerful Strength.
In an instant, the entire Main Hall collapsed, stirring up a large area of Rumble and Thick Smoke.
[Swish swish swish swish...]
Dozens of blurry Afterimages, each displaying Extraordinary Means, flew out before the Main Hall completely turned into Ruins.
Most of them, as soon as they split into two factions and landed on the Open Ground outside, charged towards their chosen Opponents in a display of 'Rapport' and began a fierce battle.
Both sides had a clear understanding of themselves.
Especially those Samurai who only used Chakra to enhance their Physical Ability and Weapons, they decisively targeted the ordinary Members on the CP8 side who clearly lacked the Art Style of an Expert.
The ordinary Members on the CP8 side didn't mind either.
Compared to the twelve Guardian Ninja with powerful Aura.
These Samurai were clearly easier to deal with.
Although the Merit would be much less this way, the advantage was greater Safety.
Expert against Expert, weak against weak.
It seemed to be the Battlefield Rules tacitly agreed upon by everyone.
Levi, who had just returned from the Zero Magic World, was seen.
While moving at High-Speed Movement in the air using practiced Moonwalk, he simultaneously used the various Sword Techniques of Wind Breathing with the Twin Swords in his hands, fighting two Guardian Shinobi who were comparable to Elite Jonin.
From time to time, he would also use his Devil Fruit Ability to block the various Fire Release and Lightning Release attacks coming his way.
This also added many colorful, dreamlike Bubbles to this Battlefield.
On the other side.
Lubbock, whose Ancestral World was the Imperial Arms World.
Was controlling a large number of Fine Threads created by the Imperial Arms Chameleon.
He was engaged in a fierce battle in a corner of a Palace with a Guardian Shinobi skilled in Wind Release and Swordsmanship.
Pink Spear Shadows filled the sky constantly collided with Blade Lights wrapped in Wind Release Chakra.
Amidst the Clanging Sounds of 'ding ding dang dang', brilliant Sparks splattered outwards.
The threads of the Imperial Arms Chameleon came from the Hair of the Super Dangerous Beast Shen He.
They possessed considerable Toughness and Sharpness, not inferior to the String-String Fruit at all.
In terms of usage Style, Lubbock preferred to condense large amounts of Net compared to Doflamingo.
He would create soft yet hard Spears, blades and axes, Armor, and other Melee Combat Equipment.
Of course, he would also use Net to set up various Traps as surprise moves.
It's worth mentioning that the Cold Weapons he created with Net possessed the One-Hit Kill Effect under his Development.
As long as they successfully hit the Target's Body, these Net could spread within the opponent's Body.
They could even entwine around the Heart and cut it open!
Among them, Lubbock liked to use the Spear as his Strongest Weapon the most.
Because it possessed multiple Advantages that matched the Imperial Arms Ability, such as length, thrust, and flexibility.
After joining CP8.
With the help of the Cultivator who taught them Breathing Style.
They determined the Breathing Style School suitable for Lubbock's Physique.
It turned out to be Love Breathing, which surprised everyone!
That's right.
This Love Breathing was a Branch School specifically created by Mitsuri Kanroji based on Flame Breathing to complement her Nichirin Blade, which was as flexible as a whip and had strong Toughness.
This Love Breathing was said to be 'able to complete defense while launching attacks, achieving a better balance of offense and defense than Water Breathing'.
However, because the Difficulty of learning was too high, and it was particularly easy to injure oneself.
So, even though there were quite a few girls in the Demon Slayer Corps back then.
Surprisingly, no one was willing to learn Love Breathing.
But who knew that Lubbock, this Imperial Arms Worlder, perfectly met all its Requirements.
Mitsuri Kanroji, now a CP2 Member responsible for recruiting and training new Agents in the World and Otherworlds, was also overjoyed when she heard about Lubbock.
She had always wanted to find someone willing to learn Love Breathing.
However, every time she was tactfully refused by the other party for various reasons.
Now she had finally found a successor!
The only slight pity was that Lubbock wasn't a girl.
And Lubbock also had a good Favor towards Mitsuri Kanroji, this extremely cute pink and green girl.
But his Feelings for Najenda could only make him sigh in his Heart.
He even called Najenda in the Imperial Arms World one night and teased, "If you don't accept me soon, I might move on to someone else~"
Unexpectedly, Najenda replied, "Oh? That's great, get married as soon as possible, I'll try my best to make time to attend."
This made Lubbock feel disappointed for a while.
Although he often hit on pretty girls he met, he considered his love for Najenda to be faithful.
But Najenda, on the other hand, understood clearly that she and Lubbock were not suitable.
A Women who placed Importance on career and work and a Child who liked romance and dating.
Even if they were together, they would only feel happy at the beginning.
After a long Time, Conflicts would definitely arise due to incompatible Personalities.
In short.
Lubbock's romance ended before it even began.
And now.
Whenever Lubbock swung the White String Spear in his hand to launch an attack.
It would definitely produce pink Phantoms and floating Hearts.
To be honest.
Such a girlish Special Effect.
Lubbock initially felt very embarrassed and even refused to use it for a time.
But under Mitsuri Kanroji's care and comfort, he gradually accepted Love Breathing and made it a Habit.
Especially when he practiced Love Breathing with Mitsuri Kanroji.
Along with their dancing Postures and Blade Light and Spear Shadow.
A dreamlike scene of pink bubbles surrounded them.
This made Lubbock believe that Mitsuri Kanroji was his life partner.
And with his Personality, it was difficult for him to have a secret crush.
Within a few days, he took advantage of a break to express his affection to Mitsuri Kanroji and ask her to be his girlfriend.
This naturally startled Mitsuri Kanroji greatly.
She had always regarded Lubbock as her first student and taught him seriously, never thinking of anything else.
So she said to Lubbock on the spot, "Thank you very much for your Will, but I already have someone I like now, although that person might not even know yet..."
This was like a bolt from the blue for Lubbock.
But upon hearing the latter half of Mitsuri Kanroji's sentence, he regained his Spirit and said to her, "Since that's the case, can you give me a chance for fair competition?"
Mitsuri Kanroji was very hesitant, but seeing Lubbock's resolute Gaze, she still nodded in agreement, but added a Condition.
"The husband in my Heart must be stronger than me, have the Ability for my Protection, and on this basis, must truly accept everything about me, such as my hair color, my appetite, and of course, the most important thing is that we must like each other."
Mitsuri Kanroji's purpose for joining the Demon Slayer Corps back then.
Was to find a good husband who was stronger than her and could protect her.
Lubbock agreed without hesitation.
He, who in the Original Copy didn't have much Desire for Strength, swore in his Heart from then on to desperately become Stronger.
But who knew that the next afternoon.
Obanai Iguro, who was also a CP2 Instructor like Mitsuri Kanroji, unexpectedly came knocking and wanted to fight him.
At that time, Obanai Iguro said this to Lubbock.
"Didn't you want fair competition?"
"Then let's do it!"
At this, Lubbock immediately understood that the other party also liked Mitsuri Kanroji.
That day, the CP8 Branch Building became very lively.
Almost everyone who wasn't on a Mission ran over to watch the battle.
The leaders above seemed happy to see it happen and had no intention of stopping it at all.
This allowed Lubbock and Obanai Iguro's Rival's Battle to proceed smoothly.
Only Mitsuri Kanroji stood in the middle, torn.
Her Will actually leaned more towards Obanai Iguro.
She was also very moved by his willingness to stand out and confess with Operation.
After all, they had spent more time together.
If Lubbock hadn't appeared.
Mitsuri Kanroji would probably already be with Obanai Iguro.
However, for Mitsuri Kanroji.
Lubbock was not only her first student but also the first boy who sincerely confessed to her on his own initiative.
Therefore, the kind-hearted her really didn't want to hurt the other party.
Plus, she had only just agreed yesterday to give him a chance for fair competition.
As for the Result...
"I won't lose to you again, Iguro no Bastard!!"
Lubbock fought with increasing bravery, gradually dominating the Wind Blade Samurai opposite him and attacking fiercely.
The next second.
A trace of red Flowing Light flashed in Lubbock's resolute eyes.
Facing the seemingly impenetrable group of Hotei coming at him.
He continuously dodged with incredible movements, closing the Distance between them like a ghost.
"It's like this again, Perception Ability of such Difficulty... Uh ah!!"
Just as this Guardian Shinobi stared intently at the approaching Lubbock with an ashen Expression.
His entire Body was tightly bound by Fine Threads in the blink of an eye.
Even his Long Saber was stuck close to his Body, making it difficult to move.
This made him couldn't help but let out a terrified shout.
It was only then that he discovered that the surrounding Air was already filled with crisscrossing nets of Net at some unknown point.
And the source of these threads was the Red Glove on Lubbock's hand.
"Love Breathing! My Style! Unwavering Love!"
Lubbock was seen taking the White String Spear in his hand.
The spear shaft first compressed backward like a spring.
Immediately after, it shot out at an incredible Speed.
[Boom!]
While piercing open a ring of Sound Burst in the air, it simultaneously transformed into a trace of Pink Meteor carrying many Hearts.
It instantly pierced through the Guardian Shinobi's chest cavity.
But this wasn't over yet.
It was still rapidly extending backward.
Along the way, it pierced through the Trees, Rock Garden, and even the City Wall.
A moment later, another screeching Whistling Sound rang out.
The entire Spear contracted back like Lightning.
Returning to a normal White String Spear in Lubbock's hand.
And the Blood Hole in the Guardian Shinobi's Chest was no longer bleeding.
Because the Edge of the Wound had been completely charred during the rapid friction.
"Mitsuri-chan will definitely become my bride!"
Lubbock said with a firm tone.
On the other side.
Meilard, who was regarded by everyone in CP8 as the Strongest below Mima Amatori, had encountered trouble.
Meilard was surrounded by a dense, swarming Insect Swarm like Black Mist.
These Bugs looked like individual Black Beetles of various kinds, but they all had a pair of translucent Elytra that vibrated at high speed, producing a 'buzzing' sound.
They were Insect-Type Artificial Alchemic Danger Beasts.
Collectively called Crawling Things, they possessed the terrifying Ability to easily crush and devour metal, including Steel.
Their own Insect Armor was also quite Toughness; ordinary Blades, and even Bullets, found it difficult to Wound them.
Moreover, they could move with Agility/Dexterity in their Operation according to the User's Will.
They were a bit like the Gold-Devouring Beetles from the Xianxia World.
The reason they were called Artificial Alchemic Danger Beasts.
Was because, according to Legend, they were Manufacturing a thousand years ago by Alchemists recruited by The Empire from the Alchemy Kingdom.
Although Meilard carried quite a few various Insect-type Danger Beasts.
The most numerous and most commonly used were still these Flying Beetles.
But even such a terrifying Insect Swarm had been unable to achieve Breakthrough against the Defense of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire behind them and Wound him.
At this moment, beside the trembling Daimyo, three Guardian Shinobi stood, maintaining Vigilance of the surroundings.
And one of them, a Bald Monk who claimed to be the Abbot of Fire Temple, Dharma Name Kūkai.
Was facing Meilard with his right palm placed flat in front of his abdomen and his left palm held upright at his Chest.
That expression of imposing authority without anger was exactly the same as the Crimson Vajra Phantom appearing behind him.
No matter how many dense Insect Swarms from Meilard's side pounced forward.
They would always be easily blasted open at their Carapace by Crimson Fist Shadows appearing out of thin air, falling to the ground in large swaths and dying.
Even the Explosions of Explosion Ants, whose Power was comparable to Explosive Tags, would be blocked by the Vajra Phantom, like a layer of crimson Energy Armor.
"Hmph, what a hard Turtle Shell. Since that's the case, don't blame me for going in myself!"
Meilard's Expression was unpleasant.
Her Figure immediately flashed and disappeared from the spot, instantly appearing in front of Abbot Kukai.
As expected.
Numerous Crimson Fist Shadows Bombardment came towards her.
They clearly looked like Phantom Images, but the Air Blasts exploding between the fists possessed substantial, terrifying Strength.
[Boom boom boom boom...]
In terms of Haki, Meilard was the type more skilled in Observation Haki.
She even combined her previous Breath Concealment Technique Experience.
And mastered the Advanced Technique called Observation Kill more easily than others.
This allowed her to sway her figure with Charm and Sexiness, dancing gracefully among the crimson Fist Shadows like a Black Butterfly, causing all attacks to land on the Open Ground, smashing out one large Shell Crater after another.
"Sorry, I don't like monks!"
As soon as Meilard approached a certain Distance, she immediately lifted her right foot, wearing High Heels, applied Armament Haki to it, and kicked heavily towards Abbot Kukai, who was close at hand.
[Dong!]
However, this powerful kick was still received Frontal by the Crimson Vajra that appeared out of thin air.
Although some Cracks indeed appeared on the surface, the Entity as a whole remained unshaken.
This made Meilard's Expression changed greatly.
She immediately used Shave to dodge the crimson Fist Shadows attacking from all directions.
In the Nick of Time, she once again increased the Distance between the two sides.
"Damn it, do I have to enter Insect Queen Form here? But there's no Time..."
Meilard bit her purple lips, feeling a bit anxious.
She noticed that the other CP8 Members had successively dealt with their respective Opponents.
Only her side was still making no progress.
So embarrassing!
She was Oarberg, known as the Death God!
And the so-called Insect Queen Form.
Was her Body form after fusing with the Bug Egg of the Butterfly-type Danger Beast within her Body.
After a period in a Cocoon state and Breaking out of the Cocoon.
At that Time, she would not only maintain her Human Form but also have Butterfly Wings and various beautiful butterfly features appear behind her back.
She would also be able to freely reconstruct her Body and organs.
No matter how serious internal or external Wounds were, they could all achieve Recovery in a short Time.
She could also freely Transform her Limbs into various Weapons with Sharpness.
It was a bit like a weaker version combination of a Zoan-Type Devil Fruit User and Muzan Kibutsuji...
But the problem was that in the Cocoon state.
She needed to maintain it for at least five minutes to achieve Breaking out of the Cocoon.
This was equivalent to a Animal-Type Ability User needing to spend at least five minutes to Transform.
Although the Cocoon would provide decent Protection.
The various Abilities of the Insect Queen Form were also very powerful, but it was still a bit... hard to describe.
"Alright, step back."
"I've finished clearing the other areas."
A cold voice suddenly appeared in the Court.
At the same Time, a mass of purple and white Gas (Ability) quickly gathered between Abbot Kukai and Meilard.
"This..."
Meilard wanted to argue a few words for herself.
But when Mima Amatori, who had appeared, swept her Gaze over.
Her delicate body immediately froze, and she couldn't say another word.
Although Meilard was considered a top-tier Assassination Expert in The Empire of the Imperial Arms World before.
However, after all, she wasn't a Heaven's Chosen like Esdeath.
And the Time she joined the World Government was too short.
Mima Amatori completely unconcerned about Meilard's unpleasant Expression behind her.
She looked towards Abbot Kukai, who was standing ready ahead, with an elegant Smile.
"A bit interesting. Could you introduce this Ability of yours, Master?"
Chapter 912: The Resurrected Monsters! (Combined Chapter)
"Lord?"
Abbot Kukai maintained his posture.
With a solemn expression, he scrutinized this red-haired man whom even he found exquisitely refined.
Due to years of Meditation, his Mental Power was extraordinary.
So he could more clearly sense the terrifying aura on him, immense as mountains and seas.
In the eyes of this old Abbot, a Purple-White Giant Snake Phantom faintly formed behind Mima Amatori, facing off remotely against the Crimson Vajra behind himself.
"Mima Amatori, Captain of CIPHER POL-8 under the World Government."
Mima Amatori introduced himself with a faint smile.
Previously, after successfully completing their mission and withdrawing from the Zero Magic World, he returned to the Sea Star Mainland to report in according to the Order from Headquarters.
That day, the five of them were received by Bowen Knohen, the Highest Officer of Cipher Pol-0.
Originally, Tengen Uzui should have been there too, but he had already gone to the Ninja World beforehand.
Officer Bowen Knohen thoroughly praised their performance in the Zero Magic World.
Then he informed them of the specific commendations given by the World Government.
First.
All were awarded the 'Cipher Pol-0 Unit Commendation Order', along with a 'Holy Shield Medal'.
In addition, 1.3 billion Berry in Prize Money was to be equally divided, and a large amount of Merit Points that could be used to exchange for various High-Grade Resources.
Among them, the Captain would receive an extra share of 100 million Berry.
And he qualified for a transfer to CP0 at any time.
If he didn't want to become a CP0 Member, he could still enjoy CP0's Benefits.
At the same time, Mima Amatori was awarded the 'First-Class Personal Valor Gold Cross Medal', 100 million Berry in Prize Money, a 30% increase in income, and a corresponding level of Merit Points.
As for Mekko, Levi, Hugh, Tengen Uzui, Chelsea, and the other five Members, they were awarded the 'Second-Class Personal Valor Silver Cross Medal', 50 million Berry in Prize Money, a 20% increase in income, and a corresponding level of Merit Points.
It needs to be explained that the 'Personal Valor Cross Medal' applies to all Citizens under the rule of the World Government.
Thus, whether they are Civilians of the World or Otherworlds, they all have the opportunity to be awarded the Medal.
Then, no matter their profession or income source (salary or otherwise), their employer must provide the regulated increase.
Among them, the 'Third-Class Personal Valor Bronze Cross Medal' comes with 30 million Berry in Prize Money and a 10% increase in income.
As for the 'Fourth-Class Personal Valor Black Iron Cross Medal', it comes with 10 million Berry in Prize Money and a 5% increase in income.
However, as Civilians, they cannot obtain the 'Merit Points' that only Civil Servants can possess.
But for most Citizens, these alone are already considered a great gain.
Among them.
According to the Law on Devil Fruit Public Ownership and Devil Fruit User Registration.
As long as they hand in a Common Type Devil Fruit, they can, in addition to receiving the value of the Devil Fruit, also obtain a 'Fourth-Class Personal Valor Black Iron Cross Medal'.
Of course, the price of Devil Fruit is generally above 100 million Berry.
So for these people, the Medal's greatest significance is still the honor it brings.
As for Mekko, Levi, Hugh, and others.
Their experience in the Zero Magic World not only brought them two Medals.
In addition, they received 250 million Berry and a 20% increase in salary.
Mima Amatori gained an extra 100 million Berry, truly striking it rich overnight.
It's just a pity they are affiliated with Cipher Pol.
Thus, they cannot enjoy the 'Twenty-Level Military Merit Peerage System' that exclusively belongs to the Military, or obtain the corresponding Peerage and Territory.
However, according to Officer Bowen Knohen's words.
These Medals and Prize Money will be officially awarded after the conquest of the Ninja World Continent, at the 'Medal Awarding Ceremony'.
In addition.
Mima Amatori was promoted to Captain of 'Cipher Pol No. 8', and will be the BOSS for many future Otherworld Experts.
Meanwhile, Levi was officially transferred to CP8 as Mima Amatori's Adjutant.
Originally, the higher-ups considered transferring Mekko from the 'CP-Nue' Squad to CP8, but this was met with strong opposition from Captain Steve Guts.
Officer Bowen Knohen also found it hard to insist, after all, they were a couple.
Returning to the present.
After introducing himself, Mima Amatori preempted Abbot Kukai before he could speak, saying again:
"Now, could you please tell me about the Master's Ability? It looks very different from a Ninja's Ninjutsu."
Because he probably guessed what Abbot Kukai was about to say.
For example, asking why they attacked the Daimyo and other such trivialities.
"Hmm."
The Abbot opposite pondered for a moment, then said: "This is the 'Immortal Clan Talent Meditation Method' that has been passed down in our Fire Temple since ancient times."
"Through long periods of Cultivation, it allows people to gradually perceive and control their Mental Power, and then use that Mental Power to mobilize the surrounding Power of Nature to form a 'Mindscape'."
"This Old Man is willing to offer this Secret Method in exchange."
So it turns out Abbot Kukai said all this because he had this idea.
"Oh?"
Mima Amatori raised an eyebrow, smiled and said: "Master, what do you wish to exchange for?"
"The life of His Majesty the Daimyo."
Abbot Kukai said in a deep voice: "The Fire Temple has enjoyed the Land of Fire's offerings for nearly a thousand years. Today, disaster has befallen, and it is only right that we sacrifice everything to ensure his safety."
"Wuwuwuwu... Master Kukai..."
Hearing these words, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire behind him was moved to tears of gratitude.
It also drew the admiring gazes of the few remaining Guardian Shinobi around him.
However, this request was impossible for Mima Amatori.
Because the Order he received was 'Assassination of the Daimyo'.
So not only could the Daimyo of the Land of Fire not live, but this Kūkai also had to die.
However, Mima Amatori temporarily changed his mind.
He decided to capture Kūkai and take him away.
After extracting the 'Immortal Clan Talent Meditation Method', he would then let the Higher-Ups decide the other party's life or death.
"All Daimyo of This World must die."
Mima Amatori refused Kūkai in a cold voice.
As soon as the words fell, just as Kūkai's expression changed drastically, Mima Amatori struck decisively.
[Swish!]
The gold-hilted Long Saber at his Waist was instantly unsheathed.
The blade was as black as ink, its surface covered with red light markings like blood vessels.
But in an instant, it turned into a streak of purple-white Blade Light and slashed out.
Mima Amatori's Slash did not have overly dazzling radiance.
Everyone could clearly see the Blade Light cutting through the Void.
Although Abbot Kukai's Crimson Vajra appeared out of thin air again and swung out countless Fist Shadows.
The entire process was like a knife cutting through tofu.
Whether it was the Fist Shadows or the Vajra's Main Body.
They were all easily cut through, yet precisely stopped one centimeter away from Kūkai's nose tip.
Just as Abbot Kukai was in a daze.
That close-by Blade Light suddenly exploded, forming dense purple-white Gas (Ability).
From within it, a thin, long Gas (Ability) split off and entered his nostrils like a spirit serpent.
This caused Abbot Kukai's vision to go black on the spot.
He immediately fell to the ground, falling into a Coma.
"Master Kukai!!"
The two Guardian Shinobi guarding beside him were greatly shocked and paled.
However, Mima Amatori's Figure suddenly appeared from within the Gas (Ability).
As the Blade Light shone again, the Guardian Shinobi on the left and right sides had no power to resist.
Instantly, their Heads were sent flying.
Only two headless Corpses remained, falling beside the Daimyo with two 'bang bang' sounds.
"Ahhhhhh!"
This caused the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to be extremely terrified.
Letting out a scream of Despair, pale yellow Liquid even flowed out from beneath him.
The next second, the Daimyo, who was desperately crawling on the ground and frantically fleeing, in the blink of an eye, was surrounded by the Gas (Ability) surging from behind, and finally completely engulfed.
"To think he's this Strong!"
Meilard, who witnessed all this, covered her mouth, secretly shocked.
"Even if this guy doesn't reach the Military's Admiral Level Combat Power, he's definitely stronger than many Vice Admirals, right?"
The key is that as far as she knew, Mima Amatori's Ancestral World was that 'Kabaneri World' which had no other Supernatural Power except for the so-called Kabaneri.
But a person born in such a weak World could actually grow to this extent in just a few years!
Among them, the biggest reason is that Mima Amatori could always make the most Rational Choice and seize every opportunity to become Stronger.
Upon reflection, if back then he hadn't resolutely spent a large amount of Merits to exchange for 'White Serum' to completely clear out the 'Kabaneri Virus' in his body, and then was the first to use the 'Perfect Type-I Cell Reinforcement Serum' to improve his Physique, and immediately after desperately Cultivated the World's Swordsmanship and Martial Arts, it would have been impossible to obtain excellent Results in the first Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament.
Successfully obtaining the second great opportunity in his life, the Logia System's Gas-Gas Fruit!
All this looks very smooth, but in fact, it was hard-earned.
The key is that Mima Amatori's Luck was also very good.
Because from the next Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament onwards, World Government Civil Servants would no longer be allowed to participate.
After all, the main purpose of this Competition is to discover Experts among the civilians.
"Take the person with you, prepare to head to the next stop, the Land of Lightning..."
Mima Amatori gave an instruction to Levi, who had just dealt with the two Guardian Shinobi.
Then he turned into purple-white Gas (Ability) and disappeared into thin air.
A moment later, inside the Land of Fire's Capital City, shrill screams rang out.
"His Majesty the Daimyo is dead!!!"
Coincidentally, inside the Land of Earth's Capital City, the same sound also rang out.
[Bang!]
The Citizens looked with pale expressions at that terrifying Mummy on the ground, which had fallen heavily from the sky.
It was precisely the current Earth Country Daimyo.
Some people's terrified gazes slowly looked towards above their heads.
Only to see a tall Figure, like a Demon God, standing in the air.
The 'Desert God' from the Land of Wind!
Crocodile!
"Ha—ha—ha—ha————"
That peculiar, gasping maniacal laughter echoed throughout the entire Capital City at this moment.
The Ninja and Samurai Inside the City all numbly slumped onto the ground.
The Aura of Despair blew back and forth like a Sandstorm.
On the Rōran side, Sakazuki had already received News that Aramaki had successfully captured Konohagakure, and that the Nine-Tails had voluntarily surrendered.
"Although it's a bit late, it's finally a good thing."
"This way, the Lands of Fire, Wind, Earth, and Lightning have already been completely Conquered. Now only the Land of Water and other Small Countries and Small Ninja Villages remain."
Sakazuki sat at the Office Desk.
He gazed for a moment at the scene outside the Window, with High Towers standing tall and Yellow Sand filling the sky.
After withdrawing his gaze, he picked up a Den Den Mushi and made a call.
"Hello?"
It was actually Kuzan, and the sounds of many Gales whistling past.
"Aramaki's side has already finished."
"Ararara~ That's great, I will bring this 'God of Shinobi' back with me." After saying that, Kuzan voluntarily hung up the phone.
"Heh heh, Hashirama Senju, huh? Just a dead person, is there a need to meet him?"
Sakazuki pursed his lips indifferently.
Compared to that, he placed more Importance on the Requirement proposed by the Nine-Tails.
To completely release it from inside Kushina Uzumaki's body?
Therefore, he looked into the matter of 'Jinchuriki'.
Ever since Sunagakure and the Third Raikage joined the World Government, the World Government has received a large amount of Ninjutsu Data every day.
These Data/Files are naturally handled by Professionals responsible for organizing them into volumes.
They are copied and then sent to three locations on the Sea Star Mainland.
One is the Sea Ninja Village located within Wano Island.
One is the 'Tree of Omniscience' within Academy City.
Finally, they are transmitted into the 'Star Sea Den Den Mushi Network System' as Data Backup.
"Extracting a Tailed Beast will cause the Jinchuriki to Death?" Sakazuki frowned.
Of course he didn't care about these Jinchuriki's life or death.
But rather, this way, he definitely needs to report to superiors.
"Alright, now there is Sunagakure's One-Tails Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails defeated by Crocodile, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki captured by the Sea Ninja side, Cloud Hidden Village's Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, plus the Nine-Tails... it's time to Report to superiors."
Sakazuki immediately picked up the Den Den Mushi again and called his Direct Superior, Marshal Raymond.
"Mm, well done. First, have someone settle all the Jinchuriki in Rōran, then send people to look for the remaining Three-Tails, Six-Tails, and Seven-Tails. This Old Man will now talk with Kong."
Up until now, Raimon directly called out Kong's name, completely without using any Honorifics.
Regarding this, the other people, including Kong, couldn't say much.
After all, Raimon is indeed Kong's old Superior.
"Okay."
Sakazuki nodded.
[Boom!!]
Just as Sakazuki had just put the Handset back onto the Den Den Mushi's back, a sound like Thunder suddenly exploded outside the Window.
"Hmm?"
Sakazuki suddenly stood up, thinking Rōran was under Air Raid again.
But what he saw through the Window was a streak of deep blue lightning shooting straight into the sky.
"That is... Hmph, arrogant Kid/Brat, doesn't understand any Rules!"
Sakazuki cursed with a gloomy expression.
Regarding Enel's arrival, he had naturally received notification.
But according to the Rules, the other party, as the newly arrived Vice Admiral, even if he doesn't belong to the Army Headquarters, should first come over and Report.
But Enel, after eating in the Cafeteria below, simply ignored him, this Admiral, and went on his own to This World's Moon.
In Sakazuki's view, this was typical 'Pirate style'.
No organization, no Discipline!
However, in Enel's view, Sakazuki is the Army's Admiral.
He, this Air Force Vice Admiral, had no need at all to first pay respects to him.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Enel hadn't read the 'Disciplinary Rules' issued by the Air Force Headquarters at all, to a certain extent.
Because even if he had read it, he would most likely ignore Sakazuki.
As one of the 'Shichibukai' under the command of Lord Imu, only the 'Five Elders' and the Members of the 'Holy Knights', which even he had only heard of but had never seen with his own eyes, could be on equal footing with him in terms of Rank!
Of course, the 'Shichibukai' Identity is currently to be kept secret.
[Knock knock knock knock!]
Just then, the Door of this Office was knocked on from outside, and the sound was very urgent.
"Come in."
Sakazuki turned around doubtfully, looking towards Shiryu who pushed the door open and entered.
"Admiral Akainu, we just received an Emergency Report from Cipher Pol."
"A winged Black Monster has released the Monster 'Moryo', sealed in the Underground Altar of the Land of Demons."
"The Miko Priestess of the Land of Demons was severely wounded trying to stop the Black Monster. Afterwards, for some unknown reason, she voluntarily followed the Monster to the Land of Swamps."
"Now, a large number of Stone Golems are surging out from the Underground of the Land of Demons, continuously advancing towards the Direction of the Land of Wind where we are. It is said that they have already entered the territory of the Land of Bears."
Shiryu narrated the Report's content once with a strange expression.
"Monster?"
"What is this thing?"
Immediately after, he took the Photos sent together by the Cipher Pol side and handed them to Sakazuki.
.
Sakazuki looked at the Monster in the Photos, currently flapping a pair of black Influence and flying in the air, its entire body wreathed in purple-black Dragon-shaped Energy.
For a moment, he fell silent. A moment later, he ordered with a serious expression:
"Have someone ask those Elders of Sunagakure to first figure out what this thing is."
"Yes!"
Shiryu quickly agreed, then turned around and quickly walked out of the Office.
Meanwhile, Sakazuki on his side secretly shook his head.
How come the matters of this 'Ninja World' are coming one wave after another?
The heavenly Otsutsuki haven't been dealt with yet, and now underground Monsters have appeared?
