Chapter 1384: The Resurrection of Atlantis, the Arrogance of Civilizational Strength

Namikaze Minato shook his head. If he was not the Hokage, he could firmly and selfishly choose Kushina and Naruto, but he was the Hokage. In addition to Kushina and Naruto, he needed to consider the villagers of Konoha.

If he chose to abandon them and take Kushina and Naruto away when facing danger, even Kushina and Naruto would look down on him.

Fortunately, after joining the chat group, he no longer had to make such a choice; even if he really encountered an enemy that he could not solve, there were group members to help him solve it together.

And with the highest level of combat power now displayed by the Naruto world, it was not an enemy that could not be solved for everyone in the chat group.

This was the luckiest thing for him.

As for Fugaku, if it were not for Loki and Marquis Vauban now, he might not have noticed that Fugaku's education of Itachi had reached such an extreme point.

Now think about it, many things have actually been revealed long ago.

At that time, for Itachi, who was in the aftermath of the disaster and was almost hit by a house, Uchiha Fugaku had no worries, but just said calmly, "I know you will be fine."

Although this was recognition and trust for Itachi, Itachi was only five years old at that time. No matter how talented he was, he still needed the love and care of his parents.

Perhaps in his eyes, that sentence was an affirmation of Itachi, but it implied a kind of harshness of "it is natural for you to do this" - you are not worthy of my surprise and praise for doing this, but if you don't do it, it's not right, it's disappointing.

This alone is enough to show how much Uchiha Fugaku ignored Itachi's emotional needs, and how much expectations and pressure he gave.

And after the Nine-Tails Rebellion, Danzo moved the Uchiha territory to the edge of the village. The Uchiha family held a meeting and asked Fugaku to write a letter to express their dissatisfaction. As soon as he left the hall, Fugaku asked Itachi, who was looking at the map, "What do you think?"

After Itachi graduated and became a Genin, he rarely went shopping with Uchiha Fugaku on the street. Fugaku kept talking about his and Uchiha's positions, and then was interrupted by Itachi and changed the subject.

During a mission after being promoted to Genin, Itachi's two best friends from the same class died in front of him, which made him open the two magatama out of sadness; in the conversation with Uchiha Fugaku, Fugaku first praised Itachi's strength, expressed his pride in his son, and then expressed his joy that the Uchiha power would be strengthened.

Then he warned Itachi not to be arrogant and keep working hard, and finally proudly affirmed Itachi's self-discipline again, "You don't need me to remind you, after all, you are my son."

How did Itachi react when he heard Uchiha Fugaku's words? Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, but immediately restrained all his emotions after Uchiha Fugaku turned around.

I don't know since when, Itachi has been able to disguise himself so skillfully in front of Uchiha Fugaku, and even Fugaku didn't notice it.

"I have ended the war in the ninja world, the Root has been abolished, and the Uchiha clan no longer has the tense relationship with Konoha in the original timeline because of me."

"Fugaku can be a little more relaxed in educating Itachi."

"Putting all your hopes on your son because of his excellence is not what a father should do, Fugaku."

In the real world, deep in the ocean, an ancient city forgotten by time gradually reveals its outline.

The towering towers, exquisite carvings, and glittering gems shine in the darkness of the seabed. Its architectural style combines classics and fantasy, and each building is like a carefully crafted work of art.

These buildings seem to be unaffected by the erosion of the sea, maintaining their original magnificence and solemnity, as if time has stopped here.

In the center of the city, a magnificent palace stands tall. The gate of the palace is made of precious pure gold, and is carefully engraved with complex ocean patterns; on the lintel, various rare gems sparkle with soft light, like stars, reflecting the entire palace square as brilliant as a dream.

Around the square, towering stone pillars stand like guardians, engraved with ancient texts and patterns, these historical marks seem to tell the glorious history of Atlantis.

The interior of the palace is magnificent, with murals, sculptures, and gorgeous tapestries, each revealing its dignity and authority; deep in the palace is a throne decorated with deep-sea pearls and gems.

On the throne sits the king of this city - Eld Ryan.

He is tall and burly, like a giant in the ocean, giving people an inviolable majesty. He holds a trident that flashes with cold light in his hand, and wears a dark blue robe embroidered with rolling waves.

Under the throne are the city's high-ranking officials. Some of them have human bodies and fish tails, some have crab claw-like hands, and some have horns on their heads. They look different, but each of them has a terrifying aura.

They are the most noble existences in this city, in charge of every corner of this sea area, and maintain the prosperity and tranquility of this city.

Among them, the most eye-catching is an old man with a human body and a fish tail. His fish tail flashes with golden light, and his eyes reveal wisdom and depth. He is the wise man of this ancient city and the most capable assistant of Eld Ryan. His name is Nereus, and he is also the first person in this newly revived city to come into contact with humans.

"King, what Elder Nereus said is not accurate. Under our sea tide, everything is destroyed."

"Even if some powerful humans appeared later, they killed only those sea creatures who followed us and were born in this world."

"Even if the times change, our Atlantis is still the strongest civilization on this planet."

A man with a human body but hands still in the shape of crab claws, knelt on one knee and said respectfully to Eld Ryan on the throne, but the arrogance in his tone seemed to be born with him, full of disdain for today's human civilization and the new marine civilization.

In his eyes, whether it is human civilization or those new mutant sea beasts with superficial wisdom, they are just mortals born in the era without their Atlantis civilization. If they were born in their Atlantis era, where would they appear?

However, their era as the protagonists of this era has passed. After the revival of their Atlantis civilization, whether it is humans or other races, all civilizations on this planet will submit to their Atlantis.

Those who disobey will only die.

He does have the capital to be arrogant. As one of the oldest civilizations on the planet, Atlantis has remained unrivaled even after countless years of changes.

Their weapons and technology are far beyond the imagination of modern human civilization.

They have mastered the hardest ores in the deep sea. The weapons and armor forged with these ores are not only indestructible, but also contain powerful magical powers. These weapons are equipped on the Atlantis warriors, making them like sea beasts on the battlefield, unmatched.

And they also have the technology to control marine life. Through this technology, they can make sea beasts become their allies and fight together.

And their Atlantis king, Eld Ryan, has the power to control the ocean. He can communicate with every drop of water in the ocean, let the waves dance for him, and let the storm rage for him.

It can be said that the ocean is their Atlantis' most powerful ally.

They are so powerful, what reason do they have not to be arrogant?

No matter how the times change, Atlantis will always be the most powerful civilization on this planet.

"Xuanjia, you underestimate today's human civilization and the new sea tribes."

Nereus looked at the Atlantean with crab claws and said calmly.

"Don't forget, we have just revived, and the power we have is only derived from the body that carries our memories."

"Even if we rely on Atlantis' technology, we have gained some power at the cost of overdrawing our potential, but it is still far from enough to compare with us at our peak."

"According to human civilization, except for the king, our strength is only the second sequence."

"This kind of power is not to mention compared with human countries such as China and Lighthouse that have several first-sequence people. Even the ocean has powerful enemies that we cannot defeat."

"I think you have not forgotten the power of that Kunpeng. Even the king can hardly defeat it."

When Eld Ryan heard Nereus' words, his majestic face froze slightly, and the scene when they encountered the Kunpeng at the beginning of their awakening emerged in his mind.

He originally wanted to regain control of the ocean, but when facing the sea creature called Kunpeng by humans, he was easily crushed, and the authority to control the ocean was directly suppressed by the other party in the same way.

If the other party had not been hostile to them, perhaps their plan to conquer the ocean would have ended before it even began.

The new sea tribe actually holds stronger ocean authority than him. If this era was not the era of Atlantis, I don’t know how many people in Atlantis would collapse because of this.

And those humans, the division of power is so simple, directly dividing it into the first sequence, the second sequence, and the third sequence. Below the sequence, they are not qualified to be considered strong.

The body that carries his memory was originally just a mutant sea beast of the second sequence. It was only because of Atlantis’s overdrawn potential technology that he was promoted to the first sequence, but it was only the first sequence.

If he was in the ocean, he could rely on the authority of the ocean with a trident in his hand to match or even kill the top human powerhouses of the first sequence, but if he was on land, his power was not enough for him to defeat any human of the first sequence level.

"That Kunpeng was just lucky and evolved one step ahead."

"When the Sea King recovers to his peak, it will be easy to kill him."

"As for that group of humans, apart from having some power on land, they pose no threat to us in the ocean."

"As long as we follow the previous plan and swallow the land step by step, no matter how strong those humans are on land, they will be meaningless to us."

Xuan Jia's tone was arrogant, and he didn't take the powerful Kunpeng and the first-order superpowers on land into consideration at all.

The battle that destroyed Haicheng had obviously given him confidence. Before being defeated by humans, no matter what Nereus said, it could not affect his arrogance.

"It was the country called the island country that dared to pour those impurity-filled liquids into our territory while we were asleep."

"If the spiritual energy had not revived and cleaned up those impurities, the entire ocean would have been polluted because of them."

"It's simply courting death."

"Even if there is no such thing as the Kunpenghai tribe, we will still go forward to cause trouble for them."

Xuan Jia said with a cold snort.

He never thought that when Atlantis was sleeping, the human countries of this era would actually pour liquids full of impurities into the ocean. If the spiritual energy had not been revived to purify the impurities, all living things in the entire ocean would be destroyed. Everyone will be affected by this, it is simply a heinous crime!

If the Kunpeng hadn't dealt a heavy blow to that country before them, they would have caused trouble for them.

"trouble?"

"If I remember correctly, although that country was seriously injured by Kunpeng's attack, its high-end combat power still exists, and there are three first-sequence level humans guarding it."

"How are you going to cause trouble for them?"

"Swamp that country with a tsunami like Haicheng?"

Nereus glanced at Xuan Jia and shook his head helplessly.

"There is a person in their first sequence named Luo Shui Sanxian. His strength is at the forefront of the first sequence of human civilization. He has the ability to control elements."

"The main reason why we were able to succeed in Haicheng is that there is no first-series human guard in Haicheng; I heard that there is a first-series statue in China named Chen Bing, also known as the Ice Emperor. As the name suggests, he is like a man in the ice. The emperor shows his control over the ice.”

"If she had been guarding Haicheng at that time, do you think you could have flooded Haicheng with a tsunami so easily?"

"Why does Elder Nereus keep destroying his own prestige and gaining the ambition of others?"

Xuan Jia heard Nereus's words and looked at Nereus quite dissatisfied. From just now to now, Nereus has been talking about the power of human civilization and the new sea race.

They are indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, can they compare to Atlantis? Why do you keep building up other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige?

Those who don’t know better think that Nereus is an elder on the side of humans and the newborn sea tribe, rather than an elder on their Atlantean civilization.

"I'm just reminding you, don't underestimate human civilization and the new sea tribe just because of a victory."

"What's more, our first opponent is China, which is now known as the strongest country in human civilization."

"The three emperors of China are all as strong as the king. If we underestimate them, I'm afraid we will suffer big losses in the future."
