Chapter 258

What was even more serious was Shanks' face. Although the swelling on his face had subsided, the bruises had not dissipated and there were still blood stains on his face.

The left eye was still swollen due to the wounds, and could only be opened slightly. Apart from that, almost the entire face was covered in scratches.

Today's Shanks doesn't look like a world hegemon.

However, despite this, Shanks still looked carefree, and the man in the distance looked quite familiar.

"Mifune-senpai from the Iron Kingdom, right?"

Shanks grinned.

The moment Shanks spoke, a strong old man in the crowd rushed out and punched Mifune firmly in the face.

"Mifune-senpai..."

"The leader of the three ships..."

The samurai around Mifune gathered around him, but Mifune, who fell to the ground, raised his hand to stop them.

The moment Shanks turned around, Mifune felt sour in his heart.

The so-called strongest in the world, the so-called world hegemon, and everything else are just things that that man shouldered alone.

Underneath those wounds, it was Shanks who bore it all for them all.

Therefore, Mifune was more able to understand how childish his actions were.

At this moment, everyone only felt sad and sad. They saw a different Shanks.

Even some people in the crowd deleted the photos they had just taken from their cameras.

This is respect for Shanks. That man cannot appear in the world news in such a posture.

At this time, Mifune also stood up again. He lowered his head and suppressed his sad emotions.

When he looked up again, there was a relaxed and cheerful smile on his face.

"Shanks, are you okay?"

Mifune also said carelessly.

When Shanks saw this, he always felt that something was wrong with the two old men over there, but it was normal to fight, um, but to greet him during the fight, well, it was normal.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, hehe!"

"Mifune-senpai, I'm leaving."

"etc……"

Mifune spoke again.

"Shanks, who gave you the injuries?"

Mifune asked curiously.

"Are you injured?"

"It's the big pirate named Golden Lion. That guy is also very strong, and... the next time he appears, he will probably be the Four Emperors."

Shanks said it simply. The moment they heard the name, everyone was stunned.

A breaking news spread from the Red Earth Continent.

Chapter 257: Ringing through the Ninja World

The delivery of the message naturally passes through a series of hands.

The previous generation daimyo of the Kingdom of Thunder, Shijuichi, was the sturdy old man and one of the important figures here.

Of course, Mifune came out to challenge Shanks, which really angered Juichi.

Especially when he saw Shanks, who was as big as his son but covered in scars, the strongest man lost all his light, leaving only a lonely figure.

In any case, these nobles and warriors who have mastered the power of Devil Fruit have inherited Shanks' love. The reason why these "seniors" are able to reach this point is entirely because of the junior "Shanks" who is here to replace them. These old guys are taking on responsibilities that don't belong to Shanks.

Of course, after Mifune left Shanks, the old man fell into endless self-blame.

When I wake up in the middle of the night, I have to slap myself several times.

"Forget it, since we have reached this point, let's hand over the position of head of the family to the younger generations first."

Shenshi Zhongyi added a few more words to the envelope, and then put the family head's token into the envelope.

Then, he handed the envelope to the ninja from Hidden Cloud Village.

"There's no negative information about Shanks, right?"

Shinshi Juichi asked.

"No, the people here are either the elite of the Iron Country or the nobles who work closely with our Yunyin Village. There are no insiders."

The ninjas from Hidden Cloud Village answered, saying that when it comes to moles, it is their Hidden Cloud Village who are most likely to have moles.

After all, the warriors of the Iron Kingdom and their nobles are actually Shanks' die-hard loyalists.

Needless to say about the warriors, but the nobles.

Shanks' identity lies here. No matter what, Shanks is still from their noble side, and it is because of Shanks that they have the power they have today.

If you really want to distinguish the factions, they belong to Shanks's faction, but due to family reasons, they have not directly drawn a clear line with the World Government.

But in fact, this kind of non-statement is already the biggest statement.

But the best thing about this world is that the emergence of Shanks is not a revolution for this world, but an improvement.

No matter how you describe Shanks' status, he belongs to the world's nobility. Even if Shanks is engaged in revolution, the world government can only treat this "revolution" as an improvement.

The reason is also very simple, because the order of the ninja world has been deeply entrenched and Shanks' identity is there. Whatever happens, this identity will block it.

This is why the current situation in the ninja world seems chaotic, but it has not yet reached a situation where both sides need to fight to the death.

The attitude of the civilians at the bottom towards pirates is not so clear.

This is not a problem of the common people at the bottom, but a problem of the world government and the world's nobles, because once they fall into extremes, they will be killed by themselves sooner or later.

It is difficult for a commoner to see this clearly, but the nobles of the world are very clear about this, and the same is true for the immortals. For them, commoners have the same concept as numbers, and they are numbers that can be used.

As for the nobility, it's completely different.

The rules of the world are relatively loose for the makers.

Three days later, in the rear camp hospital in Donghai, Chujuro looked at the envelope in his hand and silently took the letter back.

Then Chujuro turned his attention to Naruto who was standing aside. When he first arrived at the battlefield, Naruto fell next to him.

At that time, Chujuro thought that Naruto was just a lackey, but after experiencing several battles, he realized that the boy from the "Uzumaki" clan in front of him was too strong.

"Naruto, aren't you worried about Sasuke?"

"Sasuke is strong, it's okay.

Moreover, he couldn't get close to the revolutionary army. If he fought with Bai, at most he would have his legs broken and thrown back. "

Naruto was lying on the hospital bed with bandages all over his body, unable to move.

But the sound is still very energetic.

"Yes, the war is almost over.

Orochimaru retreated with the remaining troops. Soon, we will go to the new world. "

"Naruto, where are you going next?"

Chujuro asked curiously, Naruto is now the head of the country of waves, and it is still necessary for him, the new head of the family, to be on good terms with the country of waves.

Moreover, the other party is considered to be the only member of the Uzumaki clan in the World Government.

The envelope given to him by his grandfather did not contain that much information, but Hatsuguro, as the proud son of the younger generation, already understood the general idea.

This is when the family is preparing to branch out, which means that the family is ready to enter the new world. And since the position of the head of the family has come to him, it means that some people in the family have become opponents of the world government.

"Next?"

Naruto was also thinking that in his current state he could not continue to go to the front line. The injury this time was too serious and he would not be able to continue fighting in a short time.

"We should go to the South China Sea. Many ninjas from Konoha are there. Then we will go to the Kingdom of Wind."

"Aren't you going to return to the country of waves?"

"..."

Hatsukoro's words suddenly silenced Naruto. Becoming the lord of the Kingdom of Waves was something he had never expected. Now that he suddenly became the lord, there was really an indescribable burden on him.

To be honest, Naruto also knew what he was capable of.

If he returns to the Country of Waves, he can make the Country of Waves safe. If he doesn't go back, the World Government will send troops there.

But if this happens, the country of waves will be out of control.

Naruto is no longer the Naruto who just rushes forward with passion, he has also grown a lot.

It's not that Naruto can't see other things under the wings of strong men like Shanks and Nagato.

On the contrary, it was precisely because of these two people that Naruto saw a broader sky.

"There's no need to go back. As long as I can be like Brother Shanks, the Country of Waves will always be the Country of Waves."

Naruto smiled and said, instead of returning to the Land of Waves to do things that he is not good at, it is better to continue doing things that he is good at outside.

As long as he is strong enough, the Kingdom of Waves will still be the Kingdom of Waves where no one dares to mess around.

After hearing Naruto's words, Chujuro stopped asking any more. This was Naruto's path, and the path for him, the new head of the Shenshi family, was equally unclear.

But one thing is absolutely certain, that is, he, a "noble", can only return to the world's nobility circle through the military.

Chujuro didn't know where his grandfather was, and he didn't know what to do next.

As a powerful member of the younger generation among the world government's aristocrats, he also understood the cruelty of this world after entering the battlefield and lost the arrogance of the past.

However, it also depends on who you compare with.

Compared with these geniuses on the battlefield, Chujuro is naturally nothing, but compared with those among the world's nobles, he is still the proud man of heaven.

"Then I'll go to Nanhai too, next!"

Chujuro thought for a while and then spoke.

At this time in the East China Sea, the battle was almost over. Orochimaru and his men retreated, and the navy did not continue the pursuit.

In fact, Orochimaru had long wanted to run away, and Suigetsu and Jugo had already escaped long ago.

But the problem is that every battle between the two sides is extremely fierce, and the pirates' retreat routes and various distributions are tightly captured by the navy.

Even Bai was wondering if there was a mole in their senior management.

As a result, Shiro checked everyone, and in the end the one with the most suspicion was Orochimaru, and then Shiro himself was confused.

After checking for so long, I couldn't find out what happened.

It can only be said that these Bai Jue on the battlefield are also very fierce. Under the influence of their ears and eyes, the Bai Jue on the East China Sea battlefield have grown to a very outrageous level.

They have even begun to secretly learn many tactics and so on. No place can give them such learning opportunities like the battlefield.

And their innate advantages allowed them to avoid everyone's pursuit.

According to normal circumstances, this kind of problem will not occur. No matter what, don't underestimate Bai's brain and the brains of the immortals in the Navy.

However, the situation in the East Sea was not normal, because the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village had already released news that some of the White Zetsu had passed through the Land of Waves.

They were manipulated by Cardo.

It was precisely because of this that the White Zetsu awakened.

This was actually a small matter, so small that even the navy was too lazy to pay attention to it, at most they would just go and see when it happened.

So after the confirmation of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Land of Lightning, the World Government just released a news message, and the matter was considered resolved.

Bai would also notice news messages, and it was because he noticed it that he did not suspect White Zetsu.

And Bai could also be 100% sure that this news, which seemed to be full of loopholes, was most likely true.

It was precisely because this news was full of loopholes that it seemed like Cardo's style. It must be that Cardo played some tricks to get himself into trouble.

Bai still knew Cardo very well. You said Cardo was afraid of death, he was really afraid of death.
