Chapter 123

This is the courage and charm of the man in front of me.

To be honest, people like Orochimaru, who were cooperating one moment and turned against each other the next, would be stabbed in the back in the entire ninja world.

Only people like Shanks don't care, and even think that Orochimaru did a good job and was able to accurately seize the opportunity to attack Shanks.

"Yes, even if we are on different paths, we are still friends.

Because our goals are the same, but I am walking too fast, so even if Jiraiya attacks me one day, or even wants to kill me, as long as that guy sticks to his beliefs, we are still on the same path."

When Shanks said this, he shook his head.

Compared to Jiraiya attacking him, Shanks thinks that Jiraiya is more likely to die for him.

After all... Jiraiya saw the hope of this era, and he would definitely do his best to protect it.

Although he was born in Konoha, Jiraiya is the only person in this era who has escaped the limitations of the village and the country. This is Shanks' confidence in Jiraiya.

"I've gone off topic. What's more important is that... Bai has qualities that are worthy of everyone's trust."

"Qualities that are worthy of everyone's trust?"

"Yes."

Shanks nodded.

Zabuza and Bai are powerful enemies that Naruto and Sasuke have encountered. In the original history, Bai also held back against Naruto and Sasuke and never killed them.

This also allowed Naruto and Sasuke, two Genin who had just graduated from school, to restrain Bai.

Because the fighting style of those two guys was to risk their lives, Bai was helpless in the face of this fighting style. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that Naruto and Sasuke would be killed by him.

From this point of view, Bai's own kindness is also a belief that he implements. Even Zabuza cannot change Bai's belief.

But in this era, if you want to implement the belief of kindness, the price you need to pay is very high, such as your own life and the lives of those around you.

"..."

Hearing Shanks' words, Bai instantly understood what Shanks was talking about.

After all, Bai's pirate group is the best in this era, and they have done outrageous things like robbing the Hidden Mist Village.

As the vice-captain, Bai is naturally aware of his own weaknesses.

"Because of my kindness, in this era, kindness is a big weakness, right?"

"Ah, that's true."

Shanks nodded uncharacteristically, agreeing with Bai's words. Kindness is indeed the biggest weakness in this era.

"But nothing can be perfect, and not everyone will take advantage of your kindness, such as those pirates and ninjas.

They won't believe that someone can even ignore their own lives and keep this bottom line."

"So, if this is your weakness, you just need to turn your weakness into a height that no one can use."

Shanks smiled and pointed at himself. It is impossible not to have such a thing as weakness, but Bai's weakness is not that weak.

"Uh..."

Seeing Shanks pointing at himself, Bai was a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I'm not worried about you, Captain Shanks... After all, you're so powerful, and I don't think anyone in the ninja world can plot against you.

I'm worried about... Captain Zabuza and Jin and the others."

"Bearing the stigma of changing the world and destroying the world, it's not just as simple as becoming a sinner in history."

Bai said, if they get involved in the affairs of the new world, they will really become sinners for all eternity.

This stigma is not so easy to bear.

Bai is indeed worried about Zabuza.

"Ah? So that's it?"

"I thought you were worried about me, Bai."

Shanks had a smile on his face, but Bai scratched his head a little embarrassedly. Compared with Shanks, Zabuza is the one who needs to be concerned.

"Don't worry, Zabuza doesn't have the strength to bear this kind of guilt now. Even if someone really appears to bear this kind of thing, they need certain qualifications and strength to do it."

Shanks patted Bai's shoulder with a helpless look on his face. Although Bai is smart, he is still a little immature.

Zabuza? Zabuza's level is not enough to bear the blame for Shanks.

If Zabuza did something big, Shanks would definitely be blamed.

"That... seems to be true. Captain Zabuza's strength is not enough to intervene in such things."

After Shanks said this, Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that insufficient strength has its advantages.

Chapter 136 The Juniors

"Shanks is as reassuring as always."

Shisui and Amado were far away. Although they didn't understand what happened, they could still guess roughly.

"But treating the juniors like this is a bit too much, isn't it?"

Although Amado is a scientist, this guy has been with Orochimaru for so long, how could he be just an ordinary scientist.

Don't look at Amado's obsession with scientific research. If you cut open this guy's heart, there is definitely darkness inside.

"With us seniors walking in front, there won't be too many mistakes, and even if Bai really finds out, it's okay."

Shisui still had that sunny and gentle smile on his face, but as a member of the Uchiha clan, Shisui was not brainless. If he really cut him open, he would definitely be a black one.

It was obvious in Loulan, even Kabuto was attacked by Shisui in advance.

And what about Shanks? Like Shanks, he looked careless, but in fact he was extremely meticulous. He only calculated others, and no one calculated him.

After looking around, Amado suddenly felt that no one on this ship seemed to be a normal person, all of them were white and black.

"Although Zabuza can't do certain things, Bai's growth has far from reached its limit. These young people are the future of the ninja world.

We can't leave everything to our seniors."

Shisui is very optimistic about Bai. He still has the ability to judge people. Although he doesn't have much contact with Bai, he can be sure that Bai's talent and belief are definitely above Sasuke.

Although Sasuke is a member of the Uchiha clan, the power of the Uchiha clan is actually just like that, nothing special.

But Itachi would definitely not let Sasuke grow up like that, so Shisui was also looking forward to what Sasuke would become and how much he would grow.

"By the way, Amado, don't you have children?"

"No, I'm not interested in love, and in this era, giving birth to a child may not be a good thing."

Amado shook his head. He didn't have any children yet, and he was also focused on studying the new world.

"That's true."

Shisui nodded. Just Sasuke alone was enough to give them a headache.

Shanks told Jiraiya about the new world. If nothing unexpected happened, Jiraiya would definitely arrange for Naruto to undergo new training.

In this way, Sasuke would not be idle, and he would be closely following Naruto.

"Forget it, why think so much? Let's just see what happens in the new world next. It's really difficult."

Shisui also retracted his thoughts.

At present, the five major countries have not reacted, but the Wind Country has now become one of the bases for the five major countries to train soldiers. Once the dragon veins on the sea are stimulated, the five major countries that have benefited will immediately arrange for people to enter the sea.

However, before the five major countries arranged personnel to enter the sea, some places on the sea had already been occupied by pirates.

"Why think so much? Anyway, Shanks is here, even if there is an accident, he can cover it.

Although Shanks will not care about such trivial matters, he is not unaware of what will happen."

Amado looked like he didn't care about it. Although he was smart, his brain was more used in scientific research.

He didn't care about Shanks and Shisui's dreams at all, and he didn't need to care.

From his contact with Shanks, Amado had only one feeling, instead of worrying about Shanks, it's better to worry about themselves.

Shanks can cover any accident by himself, but they can't bear Shanks' accident. Anyway, Amado has already started to study cloning technology.

If he dies one day, he will clone himself.

Being with someone like Shanks, his fragile body can't withstand the destruction. Amado dare not go out without giving himself a few more lives.

As for Shisui, he just smiled when he heard Amado's words. Shanks' strength and wisdom are naturally top-notch, but it is precisely because of this that he has to work hard to catch up.

"It is difficult to change the world, and the most difficult thing is to change people's hearts.

Shanks' plan can be said to be a perfect conspiracy. Everything has been planned from the beginning. The treasure of the Wind Country's sacred tree, which was originally called one piece by the pirates, attracted all the pirates and the world's ambitious people to the Wind Country."

"And now, the two dragon veins of the Wind Country have erupted, making the Wind Country a place that everyone in the ninja world is watching. The five major countries have focused all their attention on the Wind Country.

After a few months, the dragon veins on the sea will appear. By then, the soldiers of the five major countries will have strong strength. As long as the nobles and daimyos have some brains, they can negotiate with the ninja village."

Shisui began to analyze Shanks' plan. During the time he was with Shanks, Shisui's political mind began to become stronger and stronger.

More importantly, he learned to look at the world with a bigger vision and observe all of Shanks' plans.

Although Shanks said at the beginning that he was not much stronger than others, he was just standing on the shoulders of giants.

But not everyone can stand on the shoulders of giants and look at the world with such a broad vision.

Even Nara Shikaku could not completely break away from the constraints of Konoha and the Land of Fire.

On the contrary, Shisui can now see part of Shanks's layout.

"If the daimyo and nobles have enough courage, they can unite with the ninja villages to deal with all pirates.

But Shanks is Shanks after all. If the daimyo and nobles really do this, Shanks will be too happy to be happy. At least it shows that those guys really have enough courage to become nobles."

"What a pity!"

Shisui's understanding of human nature made him understand that the daimyo and nobles in the ninja world could not do such a thing, let alone these people, even the various ninja villages could not have such courage.

Shanks used the "treasure" of the Kingdom of Wind to contain all the five major nations. Moreover, if the five major nations want to enter the Kingdom of Wind and enjoy the power of Dragon Vein, they will have to pay a certain price.

It takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

But this is not the case on the sea. Spend time? impossible.

No matter how long this group of pirates spend, if they are unhappy, they can just kill them with their own fleet.

Political savvy? The pirates have this thing, but they have no place to use it. Who would become a pirate and still play politics with you?

No one on the sea is a traitor. In the past, everyone was at the bottom. Even if they did some illegal and criminal things, they had to do it secretly. They didn't dare to be too aboveboard for fear of being spotted.

Now? Nowadays, people who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. My whole family and the wealth of our family for decades or even hundreds of years have been directly affected. Why are we playing politics with you?

This is the difference between pirates, ninja villages and nobles from the five major countries.

The pirates are really rich if they are rich. After all, they used to engage in illegal business, and their family wealth is no joke.

The simplest point is that in a small overseas country like the Moon Country, the prince of the country can spend hundreds of millions of taels casually, or even spend one billion to buy a circus.

If some people saw this, they would be angry to death.

So don't underestimate the background of the merchants. At least after Shisui and Kado came into contact, they understood how rich these guys were.

Have money, foundation, resources, and corresponding ambitions.

It can't be compared, it can't be compared at all.

The appearance of the Dragon Vein from the Kingdom of Wind is equivalent to binding the power of the ninja world.

The five major powers are collectively caught in a political balance.

Even if he is taken out, he cannot resist.

On the other side, Nara Shikaku in Konoha looked at the news sent from the Fire Country Daimyo and helplessly raised his forehead.

Then, he turned his attention to Shikamaru, who was sleeping lazily.

"Shikamaru, don't be lazy, did I ask you to sleep here in the Hokage Building?"

After hearing his father's words, Shikamaru opened his eyes helplessly. He pointed at his own eyes, which were bloodshot.

"Lord Shikaku, I'm just a thirteen-year-old child, and I have to deal with so many things..."

Shikamaru had never felt such pressure before, there was no way to relax in a place like this.
