Chapter 928: Ninja Clans Migrate to the World!
[Swish swish swish]
Just as Hashirama Senju, Orochimaru, Nara Shikaku, and others were reading the Documents.
"Excuse me..."
Kushina Uzumaki suddenly raised her hand.
"Please speak."
Minister Molotov didn't mind, gesturing with a gentlemanly lift of his hand.
"Excuse me, when do you plan to take the Nine-Tails out of my body? Also, Admiral Aramaki told me earlier that my Safety would be guaranteed. Is that true?"
Kushina Uzumaki's pretty face was full of seriousness.
Minister Molotov smiled and said, "Regarding your Matter, This Old Man originally intended to discuss it last, but since you've asked, let's talk about it now."
"First, the first question."
"Liberating the Tailed Beasts from the Jinchuriki is indeed a predetermined Decision."
"Because for the World Government, a complete Tailed Beast is more useful than a Jinchuriki."
For so many years in the Ninja World, the reason 'Jinchuriki' were needed.
It was because only this way could the Tailed Beasts be controlled as much as possible, and it was also convenient for Recovery after Combat ended.
But this also worsened their relationship with the Tailed Beasts, making it even harder for Jinchuriki to control the Tailed Beasts, forming a complete vicious cycle.
And a Perfect Jinchuriki who could understand and connect with the Tailed Beast within them, thereby perfectly controlling the Tailed Beast Chakra.
Was actually a Miracle in itself.
It's like a Prisoner longing for Freedom becoming best friends with the Prison Cell that holds them captive...
Does that make sense?
However, this also indirectly proves that the Tailed Beasts' hearts are actually far kinder than most Humans.
Yet, these Tailed Beasts, who were unwilling to participate in Human Wars, were captured by Hashirama Senju and given to Various Nations as Weapons of Mass Destruction for mutual deterrence!
From this perspective.
Even Hashirama Senju never cared about their feelings.
Even though they possessed High Rank Wisdom, even though they wouldn't intentionally harm people.
Hashirama Senju simply saw the Strength displayed by the Nine-Tails under Madara Uchiha's Control and felt they were too powerful, too dangerous, so they needed Sealing, and then he went and captured them one by one...
In other words, the Plight of the Tailed Beasts should all be attributed to Hashirama Senju.
But for the World Government.
The Strength and danger of the Tailed Beasts are within the acceptable Scope.
After all, the number of people here who can handle a Tailed Beast with one hand is more than can be counted on both hands combined, and there will definitely be more in the Future.
Based on years of Experience in the Ninja World, two so-called Kage-level Ninja can easily deal with a Tailed Beast, and a stronger Kage-level Ninja, as long as they have the corresponding Sealing Means, can also handle it alone.
And the Kage-level Strength in the Ninja World, placed in the current Military, is roughly equivalent to a Vice Admiral in the Main Battle Legion.
This means that two Vice Admirals Team Up have the Ability to defeat a Tailed Beast, allowing it to Rebirth in nature after three years...
So the World Government truly doesn't need any Jinchuriki.
They can just release the Tailed Beasts, talk to them, and sign a Contract.
The Tailed Beasts' decades of imprisonment and the World Government's absolute Strength are enough for them to communicate and accept the Promise calmly.
"Mm."
Kushina Uzumaki nodded upon hearing Minister Molotov's words.
Actually, she didn't care how the World Government would use the Tailed Beasts.
What she cared about was whether she would be alright.
"However, we plan to wait until all Jinchuriki are present before beginning to liberate the Tailed Beasts."
"And before that, we will convene Sealing Technique Users, Alchemists, and if necessary, Mages can also be recruited, to jointly Research a method for liberation that guarantees the Safety of you Jinchuriki."
Kushina Uzumaki's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Although she didn't know what Alchemists or Mages were.
She could feel the World Government's Importance placed on this Matter from Minister Molotov's tone.
This eased her worries considerably.
"I also have some Research in Sealing Jutsu. May I participate?"
This was, of course, her humble statement.
In fact, in Kushina Uzumaki's opinion, looking at the entire Ninja World right now, there were few people whose Sealing Jutsu mastery could surpass hers.
Even Minato Namikaze's 'Flying Thunder God Technique Formula' was improved and further developed into a series of Techniques, such as 'Flying Thunder God: Guiding Lightning', with her help.
Moreover, participating in the Research herself would make her feel more at ease.
"Oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Minister Molotov's face before quickly returning to normal.
"In that case, please have Lord Fukurokuju look into it after the meeting."
"Understood, Minister Molotov." Fukurokuju replied, "Afterwards, I will have someone summon the Sealing Squad Ninja from Sunagakure to have a chat with Ms. Kushina Uzumaki."
Hearing this, Kushina Uzumaki felt a sense of relief.
She then stopped Speaking and picked up the Document in front of her to read.
However, by this time, Orochimaru and the others had already finished reading.
But everyone's Expression was different.
Orochimaru and Hashirama Senju wore expressions of Delight.
Masato Hyuga merely sighed, looking like he didn't want to speak anymore.
On the other hand, Nara Shikaku and Hyuga Hiashi frowned.
Most of the representatives from Various Clans in the back row had expressions of difficulty accepting, wanting to speak but hesitating.
What was written in this Document?
Although the Content was extensive, it basically boiled down to two things.
First, the World Government required the designated families to migrate their Entire Race to live on Wano Island in the World.
A preliminary List of confirmed families was also listed on it.
Among them, from Konohagakure, the Senju Clan, Uchiha Clan, Hyuga Clan, Uzumaki Clan, Kurama Clan, and Iburi Clan, these families possessing Bloodline Limits or Sage Body, were unsurprisingly on the list.
The Document stated that the Senju Clansmen who had scattered among the Konoha Citizens needed to restore the Senju surname and reorganize the Senju Clan.
For example, Tsunade, before getting married, her Name would become Tsunade Senju.
As for the other Senju Clansmen, Konohagakure definitely had relevant records.
In the World Government's view, these Senju Clansmen who possessed a certain Sage Body Talent should not be lost among the masses.
Furthermore, they needed a complete Senju Clan to bind Hashirama Senju.
Although he was already dead, no one could be sure if he would come back to Life in the Future...
As for the Uzumaki Clan.
There was Kushina, Nagato, and Karin and her Mama. After Naruto is born in the Future, he will most likely also have the Uzumaki Clan surname.
After all, Kushina didn't change her surname to Minato after getting married.
This might be because Minato is a Civilian surname, while Uzumaki Clan is a Prestigious Clan surname.
At this moment, Nara Shikaku asked in surprise, "How did your side know about the Iburi Clan?"
This was a family that possessed a Bloodline Limit called 'Smoke Transformation'.
Their Ability was to barely be able to actively transform their Body into Smoke.
Similar to the Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Smoke-Smoke Fruit.
The reason it was called 'barely' was because this Ability was very unstable, occasionally losing Control and automatically transforming into Smoke.
Their method of application was to enter the Target's Body and then Control their Body.
However, because in this 'Smoke Transformation' state, once they encountered a slightly stronger Wind, the person would be severely injured or die on the spot.
So after paying heavy Casualties, including infants, they could only live year-round in hidden Mountain Caves.
This resulted in them having little interaction with Konohagakure, even though they lived within the Land of Fire. At most, they would send out a few Adults when they needed to purchase daily necessities.
This led to few people, even in Konoha, having heard of them.
Therefore, Nara Shikaku was very shocked by the World Government's Intelligence Capability.
"Iburi, oh, them. We naturally place great Importance on this kind of Ability similar to a Logia-type Devil Fruit. Also, the Hozuki Clan's 'Water Transformation Technique' from Kirigakure, I wonder if others can also learn this Secret Technique?"
Minister Molotov's answer was somewhat off-topic.
At the same time, he was also telling Nara Shikaku that he didn't need to know exactly how they found out.
Nara Shikaku naturally understood.
"Alright, I hope the World Government can help them solve the Bloodline Limit problem."
"This Old Man believes in our Academy of Science."
Minister Molotov maintained his Smile.
His deep Gaze behind his Gold-rimmed Glasses swept over the people opposite him.
"So, are you willing to move?"
"The Environment on Wano Island is quite good, and it has distinct seasons. You can always find a place suitable for everyone..."
(End of this chapter)
# Chapter 929: I Am Very Willing to Conquest for the World Government!
Facing the inquiry from Minister Molotov.
The representatives from the Wood Leaf Faction looked at each other, they were certainly unwilling.
After all, who would be willing to leave the place they have lived for generations?
Especially since they are all Great Clans.
Their Industry and Influence/Power are basically concentrated in Konoha Hidden Village and the Land of Fire.
If they moved to that World's Wano Island, wouldn't they have to start everything over from scratch?
The loss would be immense, simply inestimable!
But could they say they were unwilling?
Orochimaru spoke with a faint Smile on his face.
"Since we have already come in submission to the World Government, we will certainly obey the World Government's Requirement."
"Not bad."
Minister Molotov nodded with great satisfaction, but then heard Orochimaru say the word 'however'.
"However, may I ask if it is possible to allow a portion of the Clansmen who are unwilling to leave their Homeland to stay behind, and by the way, guard the Ancestral Land and Ancestral Grave of each clan."
Orochimaru spoke for the various Great Clans in the village with his charming hoarse Voice.
As expected.
These words caused the representatives from the Hyuga, Nara, Akimichi, Inuzuka, etc. clans to simultaneously cast grateful Gaze towards him.
At the same time, they all sighed in their hearts, feeling that their Choice to support Orochimaru back then was correct.
Orochimaru naturally felt the Line of Sight from beside and behind him.
However, his original intention was not for them, but for himself.
Now that joining the World Government has been confirmed, he naturally needs to prepare for the Future.
Although he pursues Knowledge and Eternal Life, this doesn't mean he will ignore the role of Influence/Power.
He must make good use of this Fourth Hokage Identity.
"This..."
Minister Molotov showed a hesitant Expression for the first time.
Because he also felt that what Orochimaru said was reasonable.
You can't possibly ask them to completely abandon their Ancestral Land and Ancestral Grave, right?
If it were the previous World Government, it would probably strongly enforce the Decision.
But the current World Government, although still Haki, has become a bit more humane.
"This matter This Old Man will report it, but I think if it's just leaving behind a small portion of people, there should be no problem."
Minister Molotov replied thus.
"On behalf of Konoha and the clans of other Ninja Villages, I express my gratitude to you here."
Orochimaru, wearing the Hokage Hat, politely expressed thanks.
It must be said, he is indeed the most suitable Candidate among the Sannin to be Hokage.
Compared to him, Minato Namikaze is actually more suitable for the role of ANBU Commander.
"Then later, everyone can find this First Sea Kage of Sea Ninja Village, Fukurokuju, beside Sakazuki, to understand the general situation of Wano Island and the Location of each clan's Clan Land."
Minister Molotov raised his Palm and pointed towards Fukurokuju beside Sakazuki.
"Location?"
The Konoha people pondered this word.
Is there a difference?
Obviously.
They did not understand thoroughly what Molotov had said before about 'distinct seasons'.
"Also, from now on, all ninjas under the World Government's Jurisdiction will belong to Sea Ninja Village."
Regarding Minister Molotov's words, Orochimaru and the others had actually already guessed.
After all, Sea Ninja Village, Sea Kage, had too strong a Ninja World feel.
It's just that Doubt flashed in Hashirama Senju's eyes.
Because he noticed that this Sea Kage named Fukurokuju, his Aura seemed not very Strong.
This isn't to say that Fukurokuju didn't have Kage-level Strength, the problem is that he only had Kage-level Strength.
According to the Military's standards, that's Vice Admiral Combat Power.
The main reason he could serve as this First Sea Kage back then.
Was mainly because he was previously an Oniwabanshu Captain.
At that time, he was considered the Ninja with Strength second only to Raizo in the World.
And after Raizo was sent to the Future by Lady Toki, he naturally became the 'World's Strongest Ninja'.
After being incorporated by the World Government and becoming the First Sea Kage, he actually also trained hard for a long time.
But finally despairingly discovered that the Strength Improvement Speed was extremely slow.
He was successively surpassed by others in Sea Ninja Village, even Otherworlders like Tengen Uzui.
So Fukurokuju has already recognized that his Talent is limited.
But fortunately, he is very skilled in Management and dealing with people.
He managed Sea Ninja Village from top to bottom in an orderly manner.
Coupled with his previous Qualifications and Identity, no one questioned him.
But now that the Ninja World has joined, it's a bit troublesome.
After all, these people don't know Fukurokuju, so they will definitely look at his Strength first.
Can a mere ordinary Kage-level Strength command respect?
Although there is the World Government's Support, no one dared to say anything in the early stage.
But Fukurokuju himself also knows that as Time passes.
His problem of 'virtue not matching position' will definitely be continuously magnified.
After all, ninjas are also a group that respects Strength, this point is no different from the Military.
So after Fukurokuju saw various Intelligence from the Ninja World these past few days, he was also thinking.
Should he step down?
He really has no confidence in Management so many Ninja World Expert.
But the problem is, who can he yield his Position to?
Minister Molotov's speech here was still continuing.
"At the same time, the other existing Ninja Village Tissue in the Ninja World will be canceled and changed to corresponding various levels of Ninja Schools."
This is also where the Konoha people present felt uncomfortable.
According to the explanation on the Document.
From now on, there will be no more Konoha Village, Sunagakure, etc., only one Sea Ninja Village can accept Entrusted Missions.
A portion of the original large and small Ninja Villages in the Ninja World need to be disbanded, and the rest will become Ninja Schools specifically Cultivating ninjas for Sea Ninja Village.
For example, Small Ninja Villages will be Renovations into Elementary Ninja Schools or Middle Ninja Schools.
As for the original Five Great Ninja Villages, they will become High Ninja Schools.
For example, Konoha Village will be called 'Wood Hidden High Comprehensive School', and so on for the others.
Among them, Elementary Ninja School is equivalent to Primary School, basically only accepting Child around six years old.
Their Learning Content, besides basic Language Arts, Mathematics, is mainly based on Basic Taijutsu and Theoretical Knowledge related to ninjas.
And Chakra Extraction requires being twelve years old, which is around fifth or sixth grade, including the Fundamentals of Chakra Control.
After advancing to Middle Ninja School.
They will only then start to come into contact with Low-level Ninjutsu and initially Development their First Attribute, and at the same time try to find where their Talent lies.
And the Five Great Ninja Villages that became the Five Great Ninja Schools will Cultivate their Combat Ability.
At the same time, they can apply to Sea Ninja Village for some low-level Missions for Training/Exercise.
When they successfully Graduation, those with passing Results will be given Genin Qualification in the name of Sea Ninja Village, and those with excellent Results will be given Chunin Qualification.
As for Jonin, this requires passing the Sea Ninja Village's Assessment.
So what about those with failing Results?
Of course, they Dropout.
Go wherever they want, as long as they don't Break the Law, no one will manage you.
But if they Break the Law, the Police Officer and Sea Ninja will be responsible for apprehending them.
Of course, this also includes those who successfully graduated but refused to join Sea Ninja Village.
They can also be Free Ninja.
However, whether they are Dropout Students or refused to become Sea Ninja, they all need to pay a large Tuition Fee.
Because all previous tuition fees, including Meal Fee, Dormitory Fee, etc. within the school, will all be paid by the World Government, which is to say, paid by Sea Ninja Village on their behalf.
If they join Sea Ninja Village after Graduation to serve, then all of this will be written off.
But if they don't graduate or don't join, then of course you have to pay.
After all, it's impossible to Cultivate you for free.
This is very reasonable, right?
If you cannot accept, then you shouldn't have entered Ninja School from the beginning.
If you just want to learn ordinary Knowledge, you can choose ordinary Public School.
In addition to this, there will also be some Specialized High Schools.
Just like the four major categories of Genjutsu, Sealing, Puppetry, Medical.
These schools will only Cultivate Students with Talent in this area.
"Great, great..."
Hashirama Senju completely disregarded the strange Expression of others, looking at the Document in his hand and muttering to himself with a face full of Delight.
Because he saw on these Paper the Ninja World he had always dreamed of.
No more Wars between Ninja Villages, no Wars that Child participate in!
He even completely disregarded for this the Konoha Hidden Village he built with his own hands, which from then on disappeared into the River of History, perhaps in the Future it can only be seen in students' Textbook...
Hashirama Senju suddenly raised his head.
He looked with bright eyes towards Minister Molotov.
"If all of this can truly be realized, I am very willing to Conquest for the World Government!"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 930: Black Zetsu's Confusion!
What Molotov discussed with the Konoha personnel was actually a bit too hasty.
The most reasonable approach would have been to wait until the matters of the Ninja World were completely settled before convening representatives from the Major Ninja Villages.
Just like the Conference held after the Conquest of the Imperial Arms World, they could publicly announce the Ninja World's Affiliation with the World and Other Worlds.
However.
Given the current Situation of the World Government, such a grand announcement was difficult.
Not to mention that the various Chaos in the Ninja World had not yet been resolved.
The World Government also had Concerns about the defense of the Sea Star Mainland.
As mentioned before, those Space Pirates were stationed on Saturn, only a Jupiter's Distance away from the World.
At the same time.
On the Zero Magic World side, the large-scale migration of the Elf Race, the deployment of the Army, the preparation of Supplies, and other aspects were nearing their end.
It wouldn't be long before Louise could use her Void Magic to open the 'Gate of the Holy Land'.
At that time, War with the Modern World would inevitably follow.
Under these various Circumstances.
For various Conferences within the World Government.
They might try their best to make Time to organize them.
But for the Ninja World, which was an Otherworld that had just been conquered, or rather, not yet fully conquered, it was completely unnecessary.
So Molotov chose to inform Konoha first, and find Time later for the other Ninja Villages.
However, during this Meeting, both the World Government Faction and the Wood Leaf Faction tacitly avoided mentioning the Daimyo.
It was as if the Daimyo had nothing to do with the Ninja World, or perhaps they were treated as if they had never existed.
So, up to now, the Death of the four Daimyo was only being widely discussed among the Civilian Common People.
The upper echelons, however, remained silent, and made no Action to stop the former from talking.
Because they understood very clearly that these Civilians would find it difficult to care about these things for long.
In just a few days, this topic would fade away with the Wind.
They would refocus on their Daily Necessities and the changes brought by the new Rulers.
Meanwhile.
Different developments also occurred throughout the Ninja World as Time passed.
The four thousand-plus Cloud Hidden Ninja led by the Third Raikage were currently allied with the Land of Iron Samurai Army led by Mifune. In the Ice and Snow World, surrounding the snow-covered Mountain Graveyard, enduring the biting Cold Wind and heavy snow, they were locked in continuous Combat with the White Zetsu constantly emerging from the Underground.
"How strange, why is Impure World Reincarnation having no Effect?"
In the Distance, Black Zetsu, with half his Body floating out of the Snowfield, gazed at the Battlefield filled with Killing Sound, muttering to himself with full Doubt.
He had previously attempted to summon two Experts from the Pure Land to assist in the battle, but unexpectedly, there was no Reaction at all.
At first, Black Zetsu thought it was a mistake in his Jutsu execution.
Although this was also very unbelievable, it was still possible.
But after multiple attempts, he confirmed that the problem was not with him.
He then Speculated if the problem was with the Pure Land itself?
However, according to the Intelligence reported by the White Zetsu Infiltrating Konoha, Hashirama Senju and Senju Tobirama, who were resurrected by Orochimaru using Impure World Reincarnation, were still active with Freedom.
This left Black Zetsu completely baffled.
Could Ninjutsu fail even when executed correctly?
And now, he couldn't even summon Madara Uchiha in advance.
"Mama, how exactly am I supposed to save you?"
Black Zetsu truly felt Heart-tired at this moment.
Because all his Plans had been completely disrupted by the appearance of the World Government.
Did he have to silently observe for another few hundred years and Scheme anew?
On the other side.
Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku, and others finally arrived within the Land of Bears, only to find that the Situation here was far more severe than the Intelligence had indicated.
When they arrived, they had heard that the Allied Forces of Sunagakure and Stone Hidden had successfully blocked the Moryo Army at the Border of the Land of Demons.
But what about now?
More than half of the entire Land of Bears had already Fallen, and Sunagakure and Stone Hidden were retreating steadily.
They didn't even have Time to set up Tents, and to conserve Chakra, they hadn't even used Earth Release for the Construction of many Barracks.
So many Ninja were squeezed together, or found a place outside to rest by leaning against something.
"How could this be?"
Jiraiya quickly found Rasa, who was wrapped in layers of Bandage.
The Newly Promoted Fourth Fukurokuju sat on a Stone Chair, looking utterly exhausted.
Blood-red clearly showed through the Bandage, making him appear very dishevelled, completely lacking his previous high spirits.
"Hoo—Konoha personnel, you've finally arrived."
Rasa looked relieved and said, "The Situation here has changed. Please listen patiently while I explain."
Over the next few minutes.
Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku, Choza Akimichi, and other Leaf Jonin listened intently to Rasa's explanation, but their brows gradually furrowed.
A Rogue Ninja from Takigakure who claimed to be from the same era as the First Hokage and had successfully escaped after fighting him?
What this person named Kakuzu said might need verification.
But judging by his Ability to injure this Fourth Fukurokuju, his Strength was indeed powerful.
Fortunately, after the previous Combat, the opponent's Intelligence was basically clear.
It would be much easier to fight him the next Time they met.
However, this Lord Fukurokuju said that Kakuzu might be related to the Jashin Cult.
Because he paid Attention to the fact that Kakuzu also possessed a strange Undying Body.
Uchiha Fugaku, on the other hand, was more concerned about the Chinoike Clan, who had some relation to his own Clan.
In the Clan's secret texts he had read, it was indeed mentioned that the Dojutsu of the Ketsuryugan could Resist the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
However, their Blood Style was Countered by Fire Release, which was why the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning had asked them to be guards back then.
But the problem lay here.
Only the Sharingan with Three Tomoe could Counter the Dojutsu of the Ketsuryugan.
If the Old Ancestor hadn't exaggerated.
That meant only Uchiha Clansmen who had reached the Jonin Rank could Resist them.
Because most foreign Chunin would find it difficult to offer Resistance to the gaze of a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Unless the opponent could keep their head down throughout the Combat to avoid meeting their Line of Sight.
But how exactly it would be, they would only know after engaging in Combat.
Uchiha Fugaku had already made the Decision not to send Clansmen below Three Tomoe into battle.
However, this still needed to be discussed with Jiraiya, who was the Commander.
"Besides these, the Moryo Army also has two troublesome problems. It can be said that the main reason we are retreating steadily is because of them."
Rasa said, suppressing his Voice and shaking his head helplessly.
"One is that they seem to be endless. No matter how many are destroyed, they are constantly replenished."
"The second is that they don't need to eat or drink, they don't need to rest, and they can advance and Combat day and night."
"But we Ninja can't do that! Even if we try to rest in shifts, we can't withstand this group of Stone!"
Jiraiya nodded with a serious Expression: "So, is Jonin Kitsuchi from Stone Hidden currently commanding the front line?"
"Yes."
Rasa said, "Although he was also surrounded by several Jashin Fanatics before, he only suffered minor injuries and managed to break their Bodies into several pieces."
"It is said that he originally wanted to use Earth Release to bury them a hundred meters Underground, but three Men in Black who claimed to be World Government Personnel appeared and took them away."
Speaking of this, Rasa paused, then spoke again.
"Oh, right, besides Kitsuchi, there are also Star Ninja who arrived at the front line last night."
"Although their Commander calls himself the Third Hoshikage, which is somewhat laughable, that Ninjutsu called 'Peacock Method' is very interesting."
"It can actually allow for Chakra Activation, and possesses strong explosive Power and Flying Ability. It is a good Support for the current Situation."
In fact, this last sentence was the main reason why Rasa could tolerate the so-called Hoshikage.
Before meeting, he would have just treated it as a joke.
But once they met, and he was the Fukurokuju himself.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely teach them a harsh lesson!
"A Ninja Village from the Land of Bears Homeland, huh..."
"Since that's the case, then we Konoha will take over Sunagakure's Combat next!"
Jiraiya took decisive Action and looked at Uchiha Fugaku beside him.
"I'll handle that Kakuzu. The Ketsuryugan will be left to your Sharingan. Any problems?"
"No, we are also very curious about the Ketsuryugan."
Uchiha Fugaku replied with a calm Expression.
The few Jonin from his Clan behind him also had eager Expressions.
Their Pupils even flickered with scarlet Radiance in Excitement.
After a hundred years.
The Chinoike Clan and the Uchiha Clan faced off once again!
# Chapter 931: The Pet I Fancy!
Whether the Ketsuryugan or the Sharingan is stronger is still unknown.
But here in the Land of Swamps.
Ever since Shinno was attracted by Shukaku, the Sky Ninjas began to find it difficult to resist the 'Roran Puppets' controlled by the Sand Hidden Ninja.
Because in terms of both Speed and Attack Method, they were at a complete Disadvantage.
For example:
In terms of Weapons.
The Sky Ninjas basically relied on devices that automatically fired Kunai.
Whereas the 'Roran Puppets' fired Energy Bullets and could freely switch between various Weapons on their Arms.
In terms of flight, the Sky Ninjas used single-person equipment similar to Wings on their backs, looking very much like Human Form Airplanes.
But the 'Roran Puppets' achieved high-speed flight and even hovering by releasing Chakra from two large and two small jet nozzles on the back of their Legs, forming Energy Tail Flames.
The Technology level of the two sides was not from the same Era at all.
It must be said.
That Sand Village Rogue Ninja named Hundred Legs was a true Super Genius.
His Research on Puppetry, if not counting 'Human Puppets', was actually superior to even 'Sasori of the Red Sand'.
It's just a pity about the current Time point.
He had already been Teamed Up on and killed by Minato Namikaze and the transmigrated Naruto Uzumaki.
Therefore, the complete retreat of the Sky Ninjas could only be said to be as expected.
However.
The Victory or Defeat between Shukaku and Shinno, who had Manifested as the Black Winged Demon, also seemed to have been decided.
[Roar!!!]
Shukaku's huge and round Body was seen crashing heavily into a large area of Swamp, stirring up countless Waves of black mud.
However, for something as tall as fifty to sixty meters, this Swamp, less than twenty meters deep, was just a mud basin.
"Damn it!"
Half of Shukaku's Body was trapped in the Sludge, and it roared furiously at the sky in exasperation: "How can there be such a Strong Monster? Why can't Wind Release or Tailed Beast Bomb do anything to it!"
It had just seen its Tailed Beast Bomb hit the opponent's Body head-on.
But after a burst of Thick Smoke dispersed, that Monster had only lost some Black Feathers?
This made Shukaku feel utterly Despair.
After all, the Tailed Beast Bomb was the ultimate Technique of a Tailed Beast.
[Swish swish swish swish...]
Just then, Black Feathers that covered the sky and sun transformed into streaks of Afterimage and attacked.
Seeing this scene, Shukaku's Expression changed greatly, and a look of Fear involuntarily appeared in its eyes.
It was already very familiar with this Technique.
Its Wind Release was as fragile as thin paper before these Black Feathers.
Crucially, being pierced by them caused unimaginable Severe Pain.
Moreover, in this Land of Swamps, its Sand Control and Magnet Release couldn't display their Advantage.
Shukaku was now certain that if the fight continued like this, it was very likely to be blown apart and temporarily return to nature.
But this was definitely not a good Experience.
In fact, compared to other Tailed Beasts, Shukaku had one ability that could be considered a specialty.
That was its Body could freely undergo Sand Transformation.
So, if Shukaku knew Observation Haki, it could completely separate the attacked Position in advance to deal with the Shooting of the Black Feathers.
Unfortunately, it didn't know it, so...
Instantly.
Sharp Black Feathers shot into Shukaku's upper and lower parts, making sounds of 'thump thump thump'. Some particularly powerful Black Feathers even pierced directly through its huge Body and flew out from its Back.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Shukaku was going crazy.
It truly didn't understand why these Black Feathers hurt so much.
Physical Damage should be difficult to cause it any significant Damage or Pain.
[Bang!!]
Suddenly, the 'Black Winged Demon' transformed into a purplish-black Afterimage, appearing instantly in front of the screaming Shukaku like Lightning. It used its thick, long, black-furred Claw to grab Shukaku by the neck, pressing it firmly into the filthy Mud.
"Hahahaha, is this a Tailed Beast? So weak, truly weak, too weak! Was I really pursuing such weak Strength back then!"
Shinno laughed maniacally, mocking himself.
He was truly grateful that Black Zetsu had appeared before him.
Otherwise, how could he possibly possess his current Invincible Strength?
Look at this Tailed Beast in front of him, he could kill it with a casual move now!
The dozen or so Sand Hidden Ninja watching the battle from a distance were all in disbelief at this scene.
Shu... Shukaku, actually seemed so Powerless?
However, Chiyo's Figure was not seen.
Because she had already taken her 'Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu' to Support Pakura.
Otherwise, Pakura couldn't have lasted long against the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki in Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.
Although Tailed Beasts were beings that could be handled casually by many Experts.
For most people.
Their terrifying degree was almost equivalent to a Natural Disaster.
Even half of their Strength was comparable to Demons.
"Let me think, how should I deal with you, Shukaku~"
The Black Feather Demon, with a Zero-Tails Head, split open the Gaping Maw on its chest cavity, approached the desperately struggling Shukaku, and sneered.
"How about this, as long as you agree to Submission and are willing to sign a Summoning Contract with me, I can release you from this Jinchuriki's Body and give you Freedom. How does that sound?"
For Shinno, who was determined to Rule the Ninja World and block the World Government, Tailed Beasts were quite powerful Assistants.
Moreover, with his current Strength, he didn't need to rely on a Jinchuriki to Control a Tailed Beast.
It was better to exchange Freedom for their Loyalty.
In Shinno's opinion, Shukaku, no...
He should say that no matter which Tailed Beast it was, they were unlikely to refuse this Proposal.
So he had already decided to talk to the Seven-Tails later as well.
But Shukaku's answer was unexpected for Shinno.
"What?!"
"You actually want Grandpa Shukaku to submit? Ptooey, what are you?!"
Shukaku roared in Anger as if it had suffered a great humiliation.
Actually, it had already done Submission once before.
Yes, it was to the World Government.
Because the World Government offered more superior Conditions.
They would release it while ensuring Bunpuku's Safety, find them a place on the World as their Territory, and they could move freely as long as they didn't attack Cities.
If needed, they could even get a Human-Human Fruit, Animal Type to possess their own Human Body.
And the Responsibilities they had to bear were to help the World Government in Conquest of Otherworlds when needed.
For example, acting as a 'Tailed Beast Bomb Cannon' or something...
Furthermore, compared to the World Government, this Shinno in front of it was clearly a bumpkin!
Even if the opponent could truly Rule the Ninja World, it was only one World, and it was a World it had long grown tired of staying in.
Obviously, Shukaku also had Curiosity and expectation towards the Multiverse.
So it would rather be blown apart by Shinno on the spot and wait three years for Rebirth than ever submit to the opponent.
This was the Confidence of being a Tailed Beast.
At most, they were unwilling to die.
But they were absolutely not afraid of Death, because they simply couldn't die.
Perhaps merging into the Ten-Tails was the true sense of Death?
After all, Self-awareness would cease to exist...
"Is that so? What a pity. It seems I can only send you back into the Jinchuriki's Body first, and then find a White Zetsu to change your Prison Cell."
Shinno shook his Head regretfully.
As soon as the words fell, his other Claw fiercely pierced into Shukaku's Abdomen.
The next moment.
Crimson Energy surged into his Body along the Black Winged Demon's Arm.
Black Zetsu had taught him before that by sucking out or extracting a part of a Tailed Beast's Chakra, the Jinchuriki's Tailed Beast Transformation Form would be released.
This was also the Principle behind Wood Release being able to Suppress Tailed Beasts.
However, both Hashirama Senju and Yamato in the 'Canon' led the absorbed Tailed Beast Chakra into the Underground, rather than taking it into their Bodies.
"Damn it! Damn it! You Big Monster, let go of me!!"
Shukaku was furious but Helpless.
It really wanted to question the Sage of Six Paths why he didn't just kill this Bastard back then, but instead sealed him in some broken box?
"It's useless, useless, hmm... it really is violent Chakra, but I just need to convert it. Dark Chakra is still more comfortable to use~"
Shinno's tone was full of mockery.
But just then, another hoarse and Magnetic voice echoed In the Court.
"Hey, who gave you Permission to bully the Pet I fancy?"
"Get lost!"
In an instant, whether it was Shinno, Shukaku, or the Ninja in the distance, they all felt their entire Line of Sight suddenly dim.
Immediately after, they watched in stunned silence as a giant Sand Tornado, like a pillar reaching the heavens and earth, descended out of thin air...

Chapter 932: I Am Not a Pet!
What is a Sandstorm Tornado that reaches the Heaven and Earth?
Simply put, no matter where you were in the Land of Bears, if you looked up, you could vaguely see a hint of earthy yellow on the Horizon.
This Sandstorm Tornado raged outwards from Shukaku as its Center.
Shinno, who had transformed into the Black Winged Demon, was almost instantly blown away by the fierce Strong Wind.
At this moment, below the Active Volcano spewing Magma, everything was swept up by the raging Sandstorm. This also caused the Sky Ninjas and Roran Puppets battling in the nearby Airspace to be tragically affected.
The completely irresistible Gale, mixed with countless Sand that stung upon impact, combined with the howling Wind Sound that was like the wailing of a Demon, turned the entire Sky into the most terrifying sandy yellow Hell.
The Ninjas on the Sunagakure side saw this terrifying scene and inwardly cheered with relief. After all, they were only remotely controlling the Roran Puppets with Chakra Threads.
Compared to them, the Sky Ninjas were miserable. Their flimsy Wing were either riddled like a Sieve by the surging Sand, or they completely lost balance and were flung into the Sky by the Gale, becoming mere black dots.
Of course, the Fate of the Roran Puppets was similar. They were likewise swallowed and annihilated by the Sandstorm, which didn't distinguish between friend and foe.
"Ahhh! This! How is this possible? I'm actually injured?"
"Void, didn't you say that even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't kill you, and that's why they could only create the Box of Paradise to Seal you?!"
Shinno looked at the streaks of Blood appearing on his Body and immediately questioned Void angrily in his Heart.
'Void' is the True Name of the Zero-Tails, while 'Satori' is the Nickname given to it by outsiders. Now that the Consciousness and Body are one, the Name it goes by is naturally decided by the Consciousness.
Void had mentioned to Shinno before that it was also a Creature from Another World. That World's Name was the Netherworld Government, and it was an Upper Demon there.
That year, it was accidentally sucked into a Space Rift. After an unknown amount of time, it appeared in this unfamiliar Ninja World. However, as a Demon, it didn't care about Familiarize itself. Seeing that This World had Intelligent Life, it immediately began a indiscriminate Slaughter.
Why? There was no why. Because it was a Demon, the Natural Enemy of all Creatures!
The rest of the Matter didn't need to be recounted. But there was one thing Void was sure of: the Ninjutsu, Sage Jutsu, and Tailed Beast Powers of the Ninja World indeed couldn't cause it any harm. Only Genjutsu and Sealing Jutsu had some effect.
However, based on its observations over several hundred years as the 'Zero-Tails' in the Ninja World, some Bloodline Limit Abilities should also be able to damage the Demonic Body.
But! Yellow Sand, Gale, these ordinary Elemental Attacks, logically shouldn't be effective no matter how Strong their Power.
So, Void, inside Shinno's Body, felt the pain from the Wound and also found it unbelievable.
"No!"
"These Yellow Sand also have 'Rules', although very faint, they are definitely there. And why does this Aura feel Familiar to me? This seems to be Demon Power?"
Void, inside Shinno's Body, 'gazed' at the Wound that was slowly shrinking, becoming Desiccated as if losing Moisture, and was stunned.
Fortunately, the Situation wasn't very serious, just a shallow scratch. The Power on it could be erased completely with Dark Chakra, and it could recover quickly with Body Regeneration.
The key point was... could the person who came also be a Demon? Or was another Demon residing within their Body?
"What did you say?!" Shinno was greatly alarmed upon hearing Void's Speculation.
Meanwhile, the gigantic Sandstorm Tornado finally unleashed all its Power.
But when the Sandstorm between Heaven and Earth returned to calm, the Sand Ninjas in the distance were instantly Petrified. The scene before them was truly comparable to a Miracle.
Because the Swamp that was originally muddy and overgrown with Water Grass before their eyes had become barren, covered entirely in Yellow Sand. If it weren't for the Volcano in the distance still spewing Black Smoke and Hikari, if it weren't for the Scent of Sulfur still lingering in the Air, and if the massive Shukaku Body wasn't still standing In the Court, they would probably doubt if they had returned to the Land of Wind.
"You Bastard, who did you just call a Pet? Explain yourself!" Shukaku glared angrily at Crocodile, who had appeared above its head with a swirl of Yellow Sand. "Also, who gave you Permission to stand on Great Shukaku's head? Get down quickly!"
Interestingly, it only roared verbally from beginning to end, but its Body made no excessive movements.
"Is this how you talk to your savior, you Stupid Raccoon Dog?" Crocodile wasn't angry. With a smoking Cigar in his mouth, he looked down at Shukaku and chuckled, "Not bad, you're plump and quite good-looking. It's just a shame you're not a Crocodile. I know you can use Element Transformation. How about considering a change in Form, like becoming a giant Crocodile with a Banana on its head?"
"What did you say!!!" Shukaku felt increasingly uneasy the more it listened. Upon realizing what was said, it flew into a Rage. "Get down! Get down! What savior? Did I ask you to save me?!"
It immediately swung its thick Hand towards its head. However, Crocodile transformed into Yellow Sand and flowed through the thick, long fingers. When the Palm left, he reformed from Sand and reappeared on its head.
"Ha—ha—ha—ha—" Shukaku was speechless listening to Crocodile's gasping laughter.
Finally, it sighed, "Alright, you can stand up there, but you have to help me teach that guy a lesson. He really hurt Great Shukaku just now." There was nothing it could do; this person was too Strong.
"Of course. How could I let go of the Bastard who bullied my Pet?" Crocodile narrowed his Eyes, gazing at the Black Winged Demon in the Air, and grinned.
"Say that again! I am not a Pet!" Shukaku roared in Anger.
"Alright, how about Partner?" Crocodile said softly to Shukaku while puffing on the Cigar held between his fingers. "When you are freed, become my, Crocodile's, Partner. From now on, if anyone bullies you on the World, just come find me!"
"Partner..." Shukaku mulled over the word. It wasn't that it couldn't Understand the meaning, but it felt very new. Someone actually wanted to be its Partner?
"Hmph, don't look down on Great Me! Who could possibly bully Great Me!" Shukaku truly didn't believe that the World was so terrifying that it could be easily bullied. It was a Tailed Beast, after all! Very scary, roar roar roar—
"Since you haven't refused, then we are Partners from now on. I'll handle things here. If you have nothing else to do, go help out in the Land of Bears."
"Great Me doesn't want to! Great Me wants to see you tear that Bastard apart with your bare hands!" Shukaku shouted furiously.
"Alright." Crocodile nodded indifferently, not forcing Shukaku further.
"Tear me apart with your bare hands?"
"Then feel free to try!"
The Black Winged Demon in the distance opened its Gaping Maw and let out a Roar filled with Malice. Circles of Sound Waves continuously spread outwards from its mouth.
[Roar!]
The next moment, its dark Wing flapped, and a deafening Sonic Boom sounded. The giant Demon that Shinno had transformed into instantly vanished from its original spot. This wasn't Spatial Teleportation, but Pure Speed.
Facing this Lightning-like fierce Attack, Crocodile had no intention of retreating. He didn't use Element Transformation. Instead, he stomped his foot forcefully and leaped out from Shukaku's head. At the same time, his right arm had already transformed into a high-Tremor Crescent Black Sand Blade, which he vertically slashed forward.
[Clang!!!]
The Black Winged Demon's massive right claw collided head-on with the equally Gigantification Black Sand Blade in the Air.
The Air at this instant seemed to have been Bombarded by a Nuclear Explosion, unleashing an indescribable Strong Wind Air Current. Even Shukaku, facing this Qi Wall-like, yet incredibly impactful Gale, had to raise its arms to block in front of itself, staggering back three steps.
