Chapter 287
"There are two strong men in the Uchiha clan now, one is Uchiha Itachi, and the other is the famous Uchiha Shisui, the second in command of the Red Hair Pirates."
"But it's different from the Warring States period. Now it's a new era, and the former rivals of the Uchiha clan, the Senju clan, almost no longer exist."
Shikaku looked at everyone.
The wheel of history has rolled back.
It's just that the Uchiha clan that used to be so arrogant and looked down on all ninja clans has disappeared.
The current Uchiha clan is more like the former Senju clan.
They did nothing, but those pirates just naturally gathered around them and became their companions.
On this side, the coalition of the major families of Konoha is a group tied together by interests.
But...Shikaku had to do this.
He couldn't let the children in his family become pirates.
The ninja clan does need a more stable future. Becoming a world aristocrat is the best way and the most stable way.
Just seeing Aburame Shiwei wearing sunglasses, Shikaku felt for the first time that he could not see through the person in front of him.
It seems that... the identity of a world noble is not that important to this guy wearing sunglasses in front of him.
However, whether this road is right or wrong, we have to go to know.
"Next, prepare to deal with Uchiha Itachi's attack, and wait for the weapons reinforcement of the World Government."
"Try to minimize the losses. In addition, the devil fruits left on the battlefield can be handed over to the trustworthy navy."
"There is no place more suitable for sharpening combat power than the battlefield. Preserving the power of your own family is the most important thing."
After Shikaku finished speaking, he re-formulated the battle plan again, this time more carefully.
Not long after, the battle report from Konoha also flew back, but this was just a small episode on the Red Earth Continent.
It's not that the Red Earth Continent is too big, but... the new world is too big. Compared with the disaster brought by Orochimaru, it is not an exaggeration to say that Konoha is a small episode.
Chapter 282 Orochimaru's Encounter
The new world, to be precise, should be this new era.
Before the appearance of the Golden Lion, Orochimaru was the second-largest pirate after Shanks. He was also the only strong man in the ninja world who possessed the domineering color domineering besides Shanks, and he was also a devil fruit ability user with an absurdly strong body.
Unlike other devil fruit ability users, Orochimaru was not afraid of the suppression of the sea and seastone at all. On the one hand, it was because his body was too big, and on the other hand, it was because Orochimaru could fly.
After reaching Orochimaru's level, it was very difficult to suppress with seastone. It was not that it could not be suppressed, but it could not be used against Orochimaru.
The difficulty of making seastone weapons itself was very high, let alone using them.
Seastone itself was a material product formed by the confrontation between the world will and the invading will. Although this thing was a material product, it had the targeted attribute of the world will.
This targeted attribute could not be resisted by normal people, and the normal here meant that... except for Shanks, no one could resist it.
The last time Shanks was in the center of the Red Earth Continent, he was targeted by the world will.
Normal people would probably die if they came across that thing, because the level of this targeted power is too high and cannot be defended. Only Shanks's outrageous will can defend against it.
But it was not completely defended, because Shanks' will is indeed outrageously high in quality, but in terms of quantity, it cannot be compared with the world will.
However, ordinary people cannot defend against the targeting of this will, so they should not touch it if they can, especially some "strong people".
The main enemies and opponents that Orochimaru faces are actually the strong people from the four major ninja villages except Konoha. They have come out to contain Orochimaru, which is already a great respect for Orochimaru.
Time goes back to a few days ago. The main forces of the four major ninja villages have gathered, led by the Raikage Ai of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee, and people from various villages have also gathered.
On the battlefield of the East China Sea, Chiyo, the acting "Kaze Shadow", did not arrive, and the Tsuchikage Ohnoki of the Hidden Rock Village did not arrive either, so many things need to be communicated before the war.
"It has been almost a year since the battle in the Wind Country. Everyone should have a general understanding of Orochimaru's strength, but the power displayed by Orochimaru on the battlefield in the East China Sea is far beyond our imagination."
"To put it simply, in addition to having an extremely strong body, Orochimaru also possesses many powers that only natural fruit ability users can possess."
"You can even call Orochimaru a walking disaster, and so far, Orochimaru has not been injured in all other battles he has experienced except for being injured in the Wind Country."
The one who spoke out was Mei Terumi. She had read all the reports about the battle in the East China Sea, and she also learned a lot from Killer Bee.
Of course, Mei Terumi's speaking out also shows that the relationship between the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village is very unusual.
But this is normal. The distance between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village is not far, and Mei Terumi is also a very capable person.
Apart from other things, at least for now, Mei Terumi is definitely a trustworthy teammate.
"Never been injured?"
Oonoki was a little surprised. He had never been injured since the Kingdom of Wind. This was a little outrageous.
It's not that he hasn't been injured, but that Orochimaru has participated in many battles and many immortals have died at his hands.
"Yes, in the frontal battlefield of the East China Sea, even when facing that immortal, Orochimaru was not injured.
So when we face Orochimaru, don't think about defeating him, just do what we can."
"After all, he is the second anti-immortal in the ninja world. Orochimaru's strength is probably far beyond our imagination."
Mei Terumi's words are not complicated. They came here to stop Orochimaru, not to get rid of him.
There is no need to waste too much energy and time. Of course, even if they don't want to waste it, they have to be cautious when facing Orochimaru.
"I have prepared a lot of seastones here, but it seems that there is not much use."
After hearing this information about Orochimaru, Grandma Chiyo felt a little sorry.
Unlike other villages, Orochimaru and Sand Village really have a deadly feud. The Fourth Kazekage was killed by Orochimaru. Just for this matter, it is absolutely normal for Chiyo to want Orochimaru to die.
As for Konoha? Did Orochimaru do that to Konoha? No, didn't the Third commit suicide? He couldn't let Orochimaru take the blame.
So among the five major ninja villages, only Sand Village really has a deadly feud with Orochimaru.
"It's not useless, at least it can protect part of our strength."
All the seastones brought by Chiyo were equipped on the puppets. These seastones were also strange and looked barely there.
Obviously, due to the level of mining and casting, the seastone technology is not mature enough and there is no way to refine these things.
But it is obvious that in the future, these things will definitely shine.
The Wind Country has nothing else, but the huge seastone veins left behind due to historical reasons are very precious.
In this era, there are more and more devil fruit ability users. Even for future plans, Sand Village is a village worth making friends with.
However, Ohnoki had already seen this, so the relationship between Sand Village and Rock Village was relatively close.
Sand Village had resources, but lacked people.
Rock Village had people.
There were no geniuses, but there were many backbones in Rock Village.
How could Kirigakure and Kumogakure not want these seastones?
"But the quantity is too small, and it is probably useless to Orochimaru."
Terumi Mei pondered for a moment. She didn't know how much seastone Chiyo brought, and to be honest, they hadn't tested this thing much.
"Do you need to test it?"
Ohnoki looked at Killer Bee not far away. Killer Bee had also become a Devil Fruit ability user, and his strength was very strong. Like Orochimaru, they were both extremely powerful mythical beasts.
"This... is useful for normal state, but for dragon form, it must be at least as big as Orochimaru's claws, and it must always be attached to Orochimaru."
Killer Bee didn't want to try it, it's not like he hadn't tried it before.
"It seems that it can only be used to deal with ordinary ability users, but the strength of seastone itself is also very high, and its defense should be good."
"It's just too difficult to use."
Everyone complained again. If the World Government took action, the seastone technology would not be so weak, but the World Government's focus is obviously not on this.
"It's a good thing that it's difficult to use, otherwise we won't have this opportunity. We need to use these things this time, and we need to use them in large quantities."
Mei Terumi looked at Granny Chiyo. The so-called world nobles and the world government were not taken seriously by Mei Terumi at all.
As a qualified shadow, the only thing she cares about is her village.
"It seems that Mizukage, what do you think? I want to hear it too."
"As expected of the Mizukage, it is said that you are also called Akainu by some pirates. For pirates, that's different."
Onoki was also very interested.
Among the five shadows, the youngest and most mysterious one is Mei Terumi in front of him. Although she has not shown much strength, since she met her, Mei Terumi's political means and courage are really unlike those old guys.
Moreover, Ohnoki also asked Lao Zi to try it. Lao Zi's "Laojutsu" did not successfully reverse into the Laojutsu series of devil fruits, which means that the woman in front of him has already created some fruits.
Her research on blood limit is probably really top-notch, coupled with her outstanding political wisdom.
Difficult, but trustworthy.
Hearing Ohnoki's words, Terumi Mei just smiled.
"It's just some groundless rumors, senior Tsuchikage, don't worry about it."
"But I do know something from the World Government. The immortals have already started to contact seastone, but because there are some things in the seastone that are the will of the world, once the immortals use the immortal chakra to contact the seastone, they will be affected by that will."
"So the World Government will not focus on seastone for the time being, but... after this war is over, it may not be the case."
Terumi Mei reminded, as for how she knew it? Of course, she was lucky, and she happened to hear it. Anyway, their Kirigakure and the World Government are not wearing the same pants.
"Is that so?"
Hearing what Terumi Mei said, Killer Bee suddenly realized.
"I remember that the practice of Sage Mode in Myoboku Mountain is also... well, once the practice of Sage Mode fails, the natural energy will spread out and assimilate people into stone."
Kirabi has also changed his usual behavior and stopped rapping.
After being almost killed by Shanks's knife, Kirabi became extremely stable... at least on the surface.
"Is that so?"
Chiyo and Ohnoki looked at each other and naturally understood what Mei Terumi said.
The World Government doesn't care about these things, but later, it may not really care.
The seastone mine in the Kingdom of Wind is very large. It is impossible for only the Sand Village to eat it, and it is also impossible to eat it with the addition of the Rock Village.
If you want to eat these things, you must cooperate. Since it is cooperation, the benefits are naturally indispensable.
For most people, this war is a transaction. Although this kind of transaction requires a high price, it is indeed a transaction.
However, Sand Village has seastone mines, Rock Village has a large number of middle-level ninjas, and Cloud Village has top military technology...
And what does Mei Terumi, who made the suggestion, have?
Of course she has.
"However, although we believe that you, Mizukage, are different from the World Government, we may need to pay something if we want to trade."
"That's natural. As the weakest of the five major ninja villages, it is not easy for us, Kirigakure, to be on an equal footing with you."
Mei Terumi said with some self-mockery. As for being a dog for the world's nobles, it is naturally impossible.
From the beginning, the World Government did not think of letting Kirigakure be a dog.
At the beginning, Kirigakure was the weakest. At that time, if the Mizukage was a weak idiot with insufficient ability, the World Government could really control Kirigakure under normal circumstances.
But it just so happens that the whole world is not normal.
Is your Kirigakure Mizukage a fake? Well, go to hell quickly, and we will find a more capable ninja from the ninja world to be the Mizukage.
And if a capable ninja really wants to be a dog for the World Government, who would believe it?
Even if they were arranged by the World Government, they are definitely top-notch ninjas, and it is impossible for them to really listen to the World Government.
If they really listen, it means they are not capable enough, so just kill them and replace them.
We can't give the good Kirigakure to trash.
Don't think it's impossible, because the daimyo of each country is changed in this way.
Those who are not capable should hurry up and let the capable ones come.
So the World Government didn't expect Mei Terumi to be loyal, because this does not affect the World Government's plan.
Because the Kirigakure is growing, it can indeed contain other villages, such as the current distribution of interests, and the Kirigakure can enter.
