Chapter 244

Nagato and Itachi can only take a beating.

However, this is what they said, but it also shows that they are qualified to fight each other.

"The point is not us, but that even if we hold them back, the remaining people will be defeated by enemies that are several times their number.

This is what we cannot change."

"At least for now, my thoughts are the same as Bai's. Such sacrifice is not worth it and there is no need."

Orochimaru's words made his former companion Kakuzu look disdainful.

"It seems that Orochimaru, not only your appearance has changed, but also your personality.

If I didn't know that you are a pirate, I would have thought you were the Hokage."

Kakuzu, who usually keeps silent, spoke at this time, and mocked Orochimaru, who had a friendship with him, which was enough to show Kakuzu's malice towards the "Hokage".

He has no malice towards other people, but not towards the "Hokage".

"Ah, come to think of it, if it wasn't for Minato, I might have been the Hokage, hahaha!"

Orochimaru directly and openly admitted Kakuzu's words.

There was no annoyance towards Kakuzu's words, just like what he said to Kidomaru and others in person when he retreated from the Wind Country.

Orochimaru has indeed changed.

He is still the same Orochimaru, but under his huge ambition, he has already made some changes. The position he wants is a position that is more difficult to reach than the Hokage.

He is still the unyielding Orochimaru, but also the Orochimaru who will bow his head.

As this war continues, his prestige will become higher and higher. Finally, at the end of this war, with the help of the people who survived here, he, Orochimaru, will become the second Four Emperors. There will be no problem at night.

However, Orochimaru will not do such a thing again. He also has his own pride in his heart.

Instead of letting the pirates recognize him, it is better to let the World Government push him to the high position of the Four Emperors.

Orochimaru's target is not someone else, but Master Yuanyi.

He wants to borrow Yuanyi's life.

The life of one of the leaders of the World Government, such a person is enough for Orochimaru to step into the position of the Four Emperors.

During the battle with Yuanyi, Orochimaru also found clues.

The knife mark on the fairyland on the ground was left by Shanks.

This shows that Yuanyi and Shanks have fought each other, which also explains Yuanyi's terrifying strength.

As for why Yuanyi came back here again, in Orochimaru's opinion, there is only one reason, that is to defeat Shanks.

So Orochimaru thinks that Yuanyi also needs a stepping stone.

But during the fight, Orochimaru found something wrong. Yuanyi's state was definitely not for finding a stepping stone.

That guy has already shown a will to die.

Although he doesn't understand what's going on, in this case, Orochimaru doesn't mind making good use of Yuanyi.

A strong man who was also beaten by Shanks died in his own hands, which is the best fate for the other party.

However, Orochimaru's plan was not said, and Orochimaru also realized that things might not be that simple.

He couldn't continue to waste time here. Shanks's move meant that time was running out.

Regardless of whether the plan succeeded or not, he had to return immediately.

At this time, Suigetsu and Jūgo had already left, and Orochimaru had already prepared to retreat.

"Are our forces still not enough?"

At this time, Nagato was helpless. Although the result was not good, this was the real result. In this battle, their only result was failure.

"The World Government seems to have just been established, but the rules of the Ninja World have been in operation for thousands of years. The order represented by the world's nobles has continued in the Ninja World for so long, and the foundation is not so easy to break."

"We can only hold on for another week at most. There will be many failed battles in this week. Our failure can make others realize something."

"Now, it's almost time to go to the New World."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he left the Revolutionary Army.

Nagato and Itachi looked at each other, and Itachi could only nod helplessly. Orochimaru was right, they couldn't win.

Even if they had so many White Zetsu, they couldn't win.

As a professional in the production of White Zetsu, the main combat power of the Revolutionary Army is White Zetsu, otherwise they couldn't gather so many people.

Outside, Orochimaru, who was about to return to his side, always felt that something was wrong.

He turned around and looked at the Revolutionary Army's camp, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. His intuition just felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the awakened "White Zetsu" at the Revolutionary Army's camp really felt like facing a dragon when facing Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's eyes were not cold, but under this majesty, the White Zetsu could only tremble and dare not reveal any flaws.

And Orochimaru didn't find the abnormality of White Zetsu in the end.

When Orochimaru really left, the White Zetsu guarding the gate breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed instantly.

"Are you ready to retreat?"

"It seems that time is running out."

"This kind of battlefield is the most likely to have devil fruits. Without enough devil fruits, we have no way to overturn the current situation, and we don't even have the qualifications to negotiate."

White Zetsu in different places, under various circumstances of being influenced by what they hear and see, has undergone different changes.

For the White Zetsu in the Revolutionary Army at this time, they are more adept at the tactics of the Revolutionary Army.

When they do not have enough strength, they choose to hide, and even if the White Zetsu awakens their self-awareness, they will not be exposed in this kind of war.

For them at present, these are all necessary sacrifices, necessary sacrifices made to accumulate strength.

The White Zetsu's self-awareness awakened not long ago, even with the previous accumulation, the decisions and plans they can make are relatively immature.

However, they also have their own advantages, that is, as the lowest level of White Zetsu, no one will notice them.

In the battle a few days ago, some of the White Zetsu in the Revolutionary Army had infiltrated the Navy.

This operation seems outrageous, and normal people can't do it at all, but they are White Zetsu, and no one will notice them at all.

The factory settings are similar, and as for what they look like, it depends on what software is installed after the factory.

But except for the situation like "日满", most of the White Zetsu are in the same situation, being used as consumables and tools.

Under this general tone, the group of White Zetsu became another independent class, and the White Zetsu of the Navy also chose to stand with the Revolutionary Army.

Under these wars, the power of white began to slowly penetrate from the top of the two forces.

Under the red sky, the will of white also began to overflow.

The red of the new world, and... the white of the old world.

Chapter 243: Loneliness

Generally speaking, under such an outrageous and chaotic situation, the entire ninja world should have collapsed completely long ago.

But in fact, it did not. At this moment, the ninja world really broke out all the accumulation of thousands of years, and under the influence of Shanks, even the tolerance of the world will of the ninja world was greatly enhanced.

Although it seems that there is no big problem with the world will of the ninja world now, after being broken by Shanks, the strength of the world will of the ninja world is being tempered and rising.

As a world will, this situation is impossible under normal circumstances, because the world will itself does not have a particularly strong tendency.

The appearance of Shanks made the world will of the entire ninja world show this tendency, and then the world will began to be forced to strengthen.

The world will of the entire ninja world still looks so big, but the strength has increased a lot.

This improvement can be expressed in another way: a greater era has arrived.

Just look at the current situation of the ninja world, and you will know. Let’s not talk about the New World Shanks and the Six Paths Sage.

Within the World Government, the major ninja clans have begun to expand and prepare to establish a country. The country established by the ninja clan has become the cornerstone of the World Government. This process is the cohesion of will... and once the country is established, the world will will participate and the era of national destiny will begin.

This matter alone is already very different.

In addition to this matter, White Zetsu has begun to awaken. It’s okay for ordinary White Zetsu to awaken, but before White Zetsu awakens, White Zetsu has been exposed to this world for several months.

And this world just happens to have a person like Shanks, and because of Shanks, the forces of the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, the Ninja Village, the country, etc. have been greatly strengthened.

As a result, White Zetsu has also been greatly strengthened.

Apart from other things, if we follow this trend, as long as we give White Zetsu an opportunity, a strong man of a certain era will definitely appear.

In addition to the complexity of this force, there is also a duel between top strong men. Master Yuanyi has arrived on the East China Sea battlefield.

Orochimaru was also prepared to use Master Yuanyi as a whetstone. Although Orochimaru's aggression was not so outrageous, in fact, Orochimaru had a lot of tricks to deal with Shanks to that extent.

In addition to these two, the clone of the Six Paths Sage was also on the East China Sea battlefield.

And below these two top masters, there were other masters of this era.

Under normal circumstances, the ninja world would definitely collapse at this time, but at this time, under this outrageous high pressure, the hidden forces and masters were restricted to death.

It's not that they are not strong enough, but that the top group of people are too outrageous, and it's not time for them to develop.

And this high pressure is not only brought by the top masters, but also the world will of the entire ninja world. The accumulation of thousands of years is extremely terrifying, and even Shanks can't understand it.

But there is one thing Shanks can be sure of, that is, he Shanks is nothing in front of this great era.

Without the accumulation of thousands of years in the ninja world, he can't do these.

But since he has done it, he also wants to see what heights this era can reach.

After the battle with Yuanyi and Fukuda Qingmeng, Shanks returned to the Red Earth Continent to rest.

Jiraiya and others were not surprised to see Shanks coming back injured.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Jiraiya said with a smile, not paying much attention to the wound on Shanks' body, but looking at the wound, Jiraiya still felt something was wrong, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Shanks' body... seemed to have some problems.

"The opponent is very strong and powerful. If they can succeed, the World Government is qualified to enter the New World.

That guy's use of fairy arts and world will is very powerful."

Shanks praised.

"It's just that it's too extreme, and it may cost a lot. I don't want this problem to happen."

"Sometimes necessary sacrifices are inevitable. Compared to this... I still hope that you, the captain, won't be too aggressive."

Shisui sat by the campfire and handed Shanks a bandage, with some worries on his face.

Shanks also saw Shisui's worries, all along.

As companions, they actually haven't experienced many things, let alone life and death, and nothing that touches people.

However, this does not prevent them from becoming companions and even giving their lives for each other.

Just like Jiraiya's recognition of Shanks, they can even be said to be just casual acquaintances.

They didn't grow up in the same village, and they don't have any memories of each other, nor have they experienced life and death battles together like Orochimaru and Tsunade.

However, they just sat together.

This feeling is very different.

"I always feel...grown up!"

Shanks grinned and laughed mercilessly.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly saying that?"

"Isn't it? If it was the way it was before, we would be able to sit together. We must have grown up together, even in the same village, and experienced many things, and established different bonds with each other."

"We have experienced many stories together, have the same memories, and have trust and feelings for each other in our hearts."

Hearing Shanks's smiling voice, Shisui and Jiraiya were stunned.

Then they laughed.

Shisui recalled his past, and it seemed that Itachi appeared beside the campfire. Beside Itachi, there was the grown-up Sasuke, and beside Shisui, there was Uchiha Kagami, who had been full of expectations for him since childhood.

Those memories and beauty are indeed worth remembering and touching.
