Chapter 322 Clear Skies
Although Kaito failed to kill Uchiha Obito the previous time he used 'Shadow Stepping', he had expected this.
The next time he meets, the other person may be wary of his ability.
But he didn't expect that the enemy had even guessed the conditions for activating his ability.
‘After all, there is still the Nara clan in the ninja world, so it's not surprising that you guessed it.’
Kaito's brain was working rapidly as he kept dodging Uchiha Obito's pursuit.
Of course, he would not give up just because his opponent guessed the ability of "Shadow Stepping".
It's rare for the other party to show up in front of him, so naturally he has to seize the opportunity to try to kill him.
Moreover, although Uchiha Obito had the special White Zetsu armor of Tobi at this time, his physical fitness was greatly enhanced and his speed was not slow.
However, Kaito only launched the "Aqua Jet" and it was enough to easily deal with the opponent's attack.
However, Uchiha Obito on the opposite side saw that Kaito was always dodging and never fighting back, and seemed to have a wrong understanding of the situation. He gradually calmed down and began to mock him.
"You are no match for me since you can't use the secret technique of shadows! Choosing to face me at night is your biggest mistake!"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
The scorching flames spewed out of Uchiha Obito's mouth and instantly turned into a huge fireball that attacked Kaito.
Feeling the surging heat wave coming towards him, Kaito slightly raised his right leg.
Jet streams of water gushed out from under his feet.
While intercepting the fireball, his body quickly retreated backwards to create distance again.
After he stood still, he rolled his eyes.
"Fire Style? I can do that too~"
They saw Kaito quickly forming seals with his hands, and then a ball of fire appeared between his palms. At the same time, he swung his right hand violently, and a fist-sized hot fireball blasted towards Uchiha Obito.
However, this fireball not only seemed to have little power, but the trajectory of the attack was also extremely off.
The fireball actually flew straight out from several meters above Uchiha Obito's head.
Uchiha Obito didn't even dodge, and he didn't even activate his Hollowization.
However, before he could mock Kaito's attack which did not pose any threat at all.
Kaito on the opposite side had a playful smile on his face and spoke slowly.
"Fire Style: Sunny Day!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fireball that seemed to have flown out by mistake suddenly exploded in the air.
In an instant, it turned into a huge fireball emitting endless light.
The originally quiet and dark night seemed to be torn open by the sudden burst of flames and light, and instantly turned into daytime.
The starlight and moonlight were replaced by the suddenly rising "sun".
Countless people in the capital were awakened by this sudden change and looked at the rising sun in the sky with awe.
Faced with this miracle, people either prayed in a low voice or confessed out loud.
[TM: Fire Style: Sunny Day] (Purple item: Fire Style Ninjutsu, seal and release Ninjutsu, condense a fireball and throw it into the air, which can generate a fake sun above the sky that does not have any damage, making the weather change to sunny. The power of Fire Style is enhanced within the range covered by the sunlight.)
This is the new Fire Style that Kaito has recently obtained after accumulating ten consecutive gold coins.
Originally, Kaito wanted to draw a gold prize from the 'Fire Attribute Prize Pool' first, and then switch the prize pool.
As a result, after drawing this auxiliary skill that only changes the weather and has no damage or special effects, he decided to completely give up the "Fire Attribute Prize Pool".
Unexpectedly, he came across this skill today.
The scene returns to the battle scene.
A brilliant light suddenly emanated from behind, and the night turned into day.
Uchiha Obito's first reaction was to hide in the hollow space and escape the scene.
However, the spiral-like spatial fluctuations had just surged around it when they were quickly smoothed out by an invisible force.
Uchiha Obito subconsciously looked at Kaito opposite him with horror.
He just pointed at his feet with a smile on his face.
Only then did Obito realize that his shadow had unexpectedly extended out to a length of nearly ten meters and was being firmly stepped on by Kaito.
"So, now is not the time to attack at night."
At this time, Uchiha Obito didn't care about the ridicule of Kaito.
He kept trying to move his legs, but his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground and couldn't move at all.
At this time, Kaito on the opposite side had completed the seal again.
"Ice Style: Aurora Beam"
Kaito put his palms together and then immediately opened them.
The cold air surged, and a crystal clear diamond-shaped ice crystal that looked like a beautiful work of art instantly formed in his palm.
With the appearance of this ice crystal, the light emitted by the "clear sky" in the sky splashed on the diamond-shaped ice crystal, refracted and gathered, and turned into a colorful glow that shot straight towards Uchiha Obito opposite.
Uchiha Obito, who had suffered a loss from this move last time, grew a wooden shield on his arm without saying a word, stood in front of himself, and blocked the light.
This time he actually hit the jackpot.
Using the power of the 'Aurora Beam' to attack the human body, it might be able to cause some damage by destroying cells.
However, it would take a long time to burn through this kind of physical defense with just light beams.
Moreover, Uchiha Obito's wooden shield is not a one-time defense. It can be repaired and replaced at any time. Although it was burning with a sizzling sound, the main body was not damaged.
It seemed that after seeing that even if Kaito had immobilized him, he could not cause any harm to him, Uchiha Obito finally felt relieved and spoke slowly.
"It's useless. You can't hurt me."
However, Kaito was not moved at all by Uchiha Obito's words. He just curled his lips and did not stop his attack.
Whether it is the 'Aurora Beam' that uses refraction to attack, or the 'Sunny Day' that simply emits light to create a venue environment, the consumption of chakra can be considered negligible.
Kaito didn't mind at all to continue fighting with the opponent.
and.
"Shua~"
A blue figure appeared behind Uchiha Obito as if teleporting, and smashed the water ball in his hand down fiercely.
"Boom~"
As soon as the azure water ball touched his back, it exploded.
The black robe on his body was instantly blown into pieces by this attack, and even the 'Tobi Armor' wrapped around him was shattered in half by this attack, twisting and struggling to close again.
However, Blue's attack did help Obito escape from his position.
After being smashed into the air, he activated his Kamui again, trying to take the opportunity to enter the Kamui space and escape.
However.
The spiral space fluctuations that had just risen were once again smoothed out by the invisible force.
Sure enough, when Uchiha Obito fell to the ground and looked up, he saw the smiling face that he hated so much again.
Kaito grinned, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, and pointed at the ground below him.
"I stepped on it again~"

Here I will explain to you how Obito's Kamui was transformed into a Hollow.
Obito's Kamui Hollow is a passive skill that needs to be actively activated, and it can last up to five minutes once activated.
All attacks or contacts will be judged as damage by this passive skill, and the attacked or contacted part of the body will be transferred to the Kamui space. It does not mean that the whole body will become hollow once it is activated. (In the Fourth War, Kakashi hit him in the stomach in the space)
And all this was done unconsciously by Obito, and he himself could not control which part was transferred to space. (Transferring the whole body and transferring others are different things, and they need to be read)
In other words, as long as Obito activates his Hollowification first, you will not be able to hit him no matter how fast you react or how fast you are.
The reason why Minato was able to hit Obito was because if Obito wanted to catch Minato, he had to release his Hollowification first (because after the Hollowification was activated, it was passive and he couldn't control it, so he couldn't hit others), and Minato's attack was actually faster than Obito's reaction to reactivating the passive state, so he was able to hit him.
The reason why the protagonist's 'Aurora Beam' can hit Obito is because it is judged as natural light by the Kamui passive, and is not considered attack damage, so the part hit will not be teleported to the Kamui space. (By analogy, if natural light is also considered damage, the sun is too hot, Obito activates the passive, and the whole person disappears directly into space.)
Blue hit Obito because Obito found that the wooden shield could block the light, so he did not activate the passive.
But Blue appeared too fast, and he didn't have time to react and activate his passive ability. (Same as Minato)

Chapter 321 difficult to guess?
Although there are some small countries in the current ninja world where the ‘one country one village system’ is not implemented.
There are even some countries that are completely managed by ninjas.
But at least, among the five existing great countries, all of them adopt this system.
Kirigakure Village is one of the five great ninja villages, and is the more independent one between the countries and villages.
So, today, no matter whether something really happened to the Daimyo of the Land of Water.
If Kaito dared to attack the other party directly and blatantly.
After that, the other four daimyos would be so grief-stricken that they would probably force the four great ninja villages to attack the Kirigakure Village together.
Not to mention that Kaito has not yet reached the strength to defeat an entire country alone.
Even if there really is a slight possibility of victory, Kirigakure, which has just emerged from the quagmire of war, is not suitable for another meaningless war.
However, Kaito is not the kind of person who can be easily manipulated. He will not break with the Daimyo Mansion and return to the village without any clear reason.
In the end, Elder Genji and Kaito reached a unanimous decision.
Explore Daimyo Prefecture tonight.
If the daimyo was just controlled by an unknown thief, then rescuing the daimyo would be a good thing for the Kirigakure Village.
If the daimyo is replaced or has died, then
'Others can control the daimyo, so why can't I?'
At night, Kaito brought Blue to Daimyo Prefecture quietly.
Although with the defense force of Daimyo Prefecture, it was impossible to stop Kaito's steps, whether it was day or night.
But it's better not to be too blatant about this kind of thing.
However, the enemy seemed to be more unscrupulous than Kaito and others.
At this moment, the Daimyo Mansion was filled with noise and shouts of killing.
"There's an assassin!"
"The daimyo was assassinated! Catch the assassin!!"
As soon as they arrived, Kaito and Blue, who were squatting on a roof, saw the courtyard below.
The 'Daimyo' who he just met this morning was now lying in a pool of blood with his eyes lifeless.
And a guy who looked and dressed exactly like Kaito, and who didn't even bother to change his clothes, covered the lower half of his face with a piece of black cloth in a very careless manner.
In the courtyard, he was besieged by dozens of guarding ninjas and samurai holding short swords.
Or perhaps it should not be called a siege, but rather a massacre among dozens of people.
Kaito curled his lips in disdain upon seeing this.
"It's a boring trick."
"Blue, is it White Zetsu?"
Hearing this, the little frog clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
This is a perception skill that Blue has only recently started to learn, which can slightly expand the range of his "malicious perception".
"Quack~Quack!(ー`ー)"
The moment Blue’s ability was activated, he gave a positive answer.
"The one that I'm knocking off is a White Zetsu transformation, and the Daimyo's body is real?"
"Quack~(ー`ー)"
"What an unlucky guy."
Kaito looked at the cold Daimyo below with some pity, then stood up.
"Since we've bumped into each other, let's deal with the impostor first."
At the same time.
Under a big lush tree in the distance.
A half-black, half-white figure slowly emerged from the tree trunk.
He said while looking at the figure standing beside him.
"Kaito has appeared. He should be able to resolve the riot quickly. Are we just going to watch?"
Under the big tree, the guy with white swirl lines on his face and only one eye exposed replied in a cold voice.
"Just watch. Originally, it was just to distract this guy's energy. His improvement speed is too fast. Since he likes to play ninja house games, let's find more things for him to do."
Black Zetsu didn't have much objection to Uchiha Obito's idea of diverting Kaito's energy, but he still reminded him.
"Although there are still a lot of White Zetsu, it takes time to cultivate them. It is a bit too wasteful to consume them so casually."
"And Madara-sama has transferred all the remaining Gedo Statue power to you, so perhaps you can kill him right here."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Obito turned around and looked at Black Zetsu beside him. His single exposed eye revealed endless indifference.
“It’s all about the final plan.”
However, just as he said this, the circle of White Zetsu Tobi attached to his body suddenly spoke.
"So this was a plan? I thought Obito just wanted revenge."
As soon as these words were spoken, the place instantly fell into deathly silence.
It was not until a moment later that the silent Uchiha Obito spoke softly.
"Call me Madara!"
But before he could finish his words, the sound of several shurikens breaking through the wind came from behind Uchiha Obito.
Three shurikens pierced through his body and nailed to a big tree nearby.
At this time, a voice came from not far away.
"Haha, Uchiha Madara? Who would believe that?"
Uchiha Obito, who had just turned into a hollow to avoid the attack, turned around suddenly and saw that Kaito had appeared behind him at some point.
"When?!"
There was a hint of doubt in Uchiha Obito's eyes.
Just a second ago, he saw Kaito in Daimyo Mansion.
"A clone, you don't think I would just follow your lead like a fool, do you? Uchiha Obito!"
When these words were spoken, both Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu's pupils dilated greatly, wondering why the other party would directly reveal Obito's identity.
"What Uchiha Obito? My name is Uchiha Madara!"
Kaito listened to Uchiha Obito who was still pretending to be stubborn, a sneer appeared on his face, and he spoke slowly.
"You don't think you're hiding it well, do you?"
"Hatake Kakashi of Konoha only has one Sharingan in his left eye, and the girl from Konohagakure who was the container of Zero before, seems to be called Nohara Rin?"
"Shut up! Don't mention her name!"
Uchiha Obito, who was originally cautious and alert, instantly fell into rage after hearing Nohara Rin's name.
He swung his two arms, and dozens of wooden spikes emerged from his palms, shooting towards Kaito at a rapid speed.
Faced with this direct attack, Kaito didn't even think of dodging.
He simply slapped away a few wooden spikes in front of him with his palms and let the rest of the attacks fly past him.
And at this moment, how could Uchiha Obito, who was furious, simply launch an attack and then stop?
The ground beneath his feet was crushed to pieces, and he rushed towards Kaito like a cannonball.
However, Black Zetsu on the side did not choose to attack with Uchiha Obito.
Instead, half of his body quickly merged into the tree trunk beside him, while speaking out a reminder.
"Obito! Be careful your shadow doesn't get stepped on!"
"You don't have to remind me!"
Kaito, who was far away, also heard Black Zetsu's reminder to Obito before he hid, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
‘I used it only once, and the other party noticed it? He is indeed a thousand-year-old monster!’

Chapter 320 I have a problem
Kaito, the elder Genji, and the two accompanying jonin all sat down with puzzled expressions.
Get ready to see what the Daimyo of the Land of Water is up to.
Sure enough, everyone was seated.
The Daimyo of the Land of Water seemed to be speaking impatiently, pointing his finger directly at Kaito.
"Boy, are you Kaito? You still look like a child?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed.
This attitude and tone is no longer simply an expression of dissatisfaction, it has even reached the point of provocation.
There was no need for Kaito to say anything, as the Elder Genji beside him immediately glared at the daimyo.
"Daimyo-sama, you are now facing the next Mizukage of the Kirigakure Village, so please be careful with the way you speak!"
However, Kaito was not too angry because of the daimyo's tone. Instead, he noticed the expressions of the four Land of Water officials sitting opposite him.
The four of them all looked shocked and doubtful, and it was obvious that they had never expected that their daimyo would say such a thing.
At the same time, facing the angry rebuke of the Elder Genji, this daimyo who looked like just an ordinary middle-aged man was not afraid at all.
He retorted sarcastically.
"Whether he will be the next Mizukage has not yet been decided. At least the daimyo will not approve such a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair to be the Mizukage."
"If such a brat can become a Mizukage, where will the reputation of our Land of Water be?"
At this moment, the old official sitting closest to the daimyo's side suddenly contracted his pupils, and tried to persuade him with a trembling voice.
"Your Excellency…"
But before he could finish his words.
"Bang!"
Elder Genji slammed his hands heavily on the table.
The official who wanted to speak was so frightened that he swallowed his words back.
Elder Genji stood up, stared into Daimyo's eyes, and spoke word by word.
"The Mizukage is the Mizukage of the Kirigakure Village! It has always been held by the strongest person in the Kirigakure Village! It is not Daimyo's turn to give orders!"
Having said this, the relationship was completely broken.
Although what Elder Genji said was true, all previous Mizukages still had to go through the motions with the Daimyo.
After all, the main source of income for the Kirigakure Village still comes from the commissions from missions by the upper-class nobles of the Land of Water.
However, the four people from the Kirigakure Village had no intention of compromising at all.
Facing the aggressive elder Genji, Daimyo remained unmoved and sat in his original position, replying calmly.
"Really? Then the Kirigakure Village won't be able to receive any missions from the Daimyo's Mansion anymore."
"Hahaha~"
When Kaito heard the other party's "threat", he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then he patted the still somewhat angry Elder Genji and said.
"Since we are not welcome here, let's leave first. Perhaps the daimyo will come to his senses after a while?"
After saying that, Kaito stood up and walked out.
However, before leaving, Kaito's gaze swept across the faces of the Daimyo of the Land of Water and the four officials in turn.
In contrast to the extremely terrified expressions on the faces of these four people, the daimyo at this time still looked unconcerned, and there was even a hint of a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.
Originally, the Kirigakure group came here with the intention of communicating more with the daimyo prefecture to build closer relations and to make in-depth discussions on the future development of Kirigakure Village.
Who would have thought that the conversation would end in such a bad way before the formal conversation even started.
He left the daimyo's mansion with a heavy face, and had just walked out for a short while.
Elder Genji and Kaito looked at each other and spoke in unison.
"This Daimyo is wrong!"
That’s right, the reason why Kaito chose to leave just now was not because he felt humiliated or for any other reason.
Rather, the daimyo's previous series of actions were really too abnormal.
Although Kaito had never met the daimyo in person before, he didn't know what kind of personality he had.
But at least, among the four Kirigakure ninjas who were present just now, even the elder Genji who had not fought for a long time was still a ninja who could easily take his life.
Even if he really had some dissatisfaction with the Kirigakure Village, it was impossible for him to speak so arrogantly in that situation.
You know, these guys from the Kirigakure Village have always had a bad reputation in the ninja world.
If Kaito really is a bloodthirsty and impulsive guy, it would not be surprising if Daimyo was killed on the spot.
At that distance, even if there were jonin among the daimyo's personal guards, no, even if there were kage-level beings, they would not be able to protect him.
The other party was almost about to carve the words "I have a problem" on his forehead.
"Did Daimyo have the same personality when you met him before?" Kaito asked in a low voice.
“It’s not just a matter of character.”
After saying this, Elder Genji paused for a moment and then continued speaking.
"Let's talk about this somewhere else."
The other three people had no objection when they heard this.
The four of them randomly found a hotel in the capital of the Land of Water and stayed there first.
After entering the room, Elder Genji continued the previous topic.
"I have met this generation's Daimyo of the Land of Water several times before. Although he is not a wise ruler, he has always been well-behaved. He has always maintained a win-win attitude towards the Ninja Village."
"And it's not just a change in personality and behavior. Some time ago, when I corresponded with him and told him about the Third Mizukage's death, I also mentioned that you could succeed him as the Fourth Mizukage. In his reply, he didn't raise any objections."
"Is the change so big?"
Upon hearing this, Kaito revealed a hint of amusement in his eyes, combined with the other party's fearless appearance.
"If he doesn't really have something we don't know about, then it's illusion control, or..."
"White Zetsu!"
Elder Genji also nodded solemnly at this time.
"It shouldn't be that he has something to rely on. Even if the other party really wants to reduce the influence of the ninja village, he will only act in secret. If we really want to kill him at that distance just now, no support can save him."
Since he was going to meet the daimyo today, Kaito did not bring Blue with him.
Therefore, it is still impossible to confirm at this moment whether the other party was controlled by some petty thief using illusion, or whether he has really been replaced by White Zetsu.
Kaito himself is currently unable to identify White Zetsu's "disguise technique". Unless the opponent wants to attack him, he will be able to identify the enemy.
Originally, because of Blue's newly demonstrated ability to identify White Zetsu, Kaito had temporarily put aside the threat from the other party.
There was not even a special search for White Zetsu in the village. After all, this thing was like cockroaches. No matter how many waves he killed, there would be more waves. It was impossible to get rid of them completely.
However, if the daimyo was really replaced, it would have a huge impact on Kaito, or the Kirigakure Village.
If not handled properly, the Kirigakure Village may very likely become the public enemy of the ninja world.
‘I hope it wasn't you, Obito!’

Chapter 319 Weird Attitude
Kaito had no aversion to meeting the daimyo, the leader of the Land of Water.
Although the daimyo actually does not have much say in the selection of the Mizukage, after all, the other party is the biggest financial backer of the Kirigakure Village, and it would not be good to not even meet him.
In fact, after getting in-depth exposure to the political affairs of the Kirigakure Village.
Kaito also had a general understanding of the relationship between the Land of Water and the Kirigakure Village.
In fact, there is no real subordination between the two. The Kirigakure Village is more like a country within a country, and the relationship between it and the Land of Water is mostly an employment relationship.
Kaito himself had no intention of changing this relationship. All he wanted now was to develop the Kirigakure Village and become a qualified Mizukage. Everything else could be left to nature.
The next day, Kaito and Elder Genji set out for the Daimyo Prefecture with several jonin guards.
Perhaps it was because the daimyo only managed the ordinary people's livelihood and economy of the Land of Water and had sufficient energy to develop commerce.
The current capital of the Land of Water is obviously much more prosperous and advanced than the Kirigakure Village.
"Is this your first time in the Water Capital?"
Elder Genji looked at the busy street and said with a smile to Kaito who was standing beside him.
"Well, previous missions were mostly conducted in the eastern part of the Land of Water, but prosperous cities like this are not uncommon."
Feeling the prosperity here, although it is far from the big cities in the previous life, it can still be seen that the mental outlook of ordinary people living here is much better than elsewhere.
"After the city of Land of Whirlpool is built, it should be very prosperous, and some appropriate changes can be made in the village."
If conditions permit, Kaito also hopes to make the lives of ordinary people in the Kirigakure Village more comfortable.
Although the location and environment of the Kirigakure Village are not good, there is actually no shortage of outsiders because there are many merchants going to the Kirigakure Village to issue tasks.
As long as they can make some use of this part of the population, it will be easy for the Kirigakure Village to grow and develop.
Elder Genji also agreed with this, but after all, the two of them were just expressing their feelings and did not continue to communicate more on this matter.
Not long after, the two arrived at the daimyo's mansion.
Originally, Kaito thought that if he wanted to meet the daimyo, he might have to go through some weapons inspection, or have a few snobbish servants come to remind everyone of etiquette and so on.
After all, noble families with a long tradition like this seem to attach great importance to these face-saving things.
However, in reality, none of this is the case.
After the group simply informed each other, a special person came out and said that the daimyo was not currently handling official business and could meet.
He led the way in front and led everyone inside.
But then Kaito realized that he was wrong.
The Land of Water and the Land of Fire are slightly different.
There is neither a powerful temple like the Fire Temple that can rival a ninja, nor a person like Asuma Sarutobi who acts like a child and runs to be a bodyguard for the daimyo.
Walking into the mansion and looking around, he saw that most of the daimyo's guards were ordinary warriors.
The few ninjas there were were probably just wandering ninjas of mid- to low-level ninja strength recruited by the daimyo himself.
With such defensive strength, it would be too complicated to go through a set of procedures every time they meet these ninjas.
If someone ever becomes unhappy and wants to take down Daimyo, these people may not be able to stop them.
‘From this perspective, the daimyo seems to be in a very miserable situation.’
Kaito began to feel a little sorry for each other.
Ordinary people living in this extraordinary world, no matter how much power and money they have, still have to worry about losing their lives one day.
‘Forget it. It's better to pity the common people than to pity the daimyo.’
While he was daydreaming, Kaito and others had already arrived at the reception room of the daimyo's mansion under the guidance of the waiter.
There were quite a few people in the reception room at this time.
In addition to the daimyo who wore a headdress that looked like an unfolded folding fan, there were also several old men dressed in black and wearing tall hats dressed as officials.
These people must have been arguing about something before, and the scene looked a bit chaotic.
It was not until Kaito and others came in that they immediately stopped talking and turned to look at the door.
The messenger who was leading the way was also a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that the daimyo and officials, who were so dignified when they came to report just now, would start arguing in just a few minutes.
Noticing that the situation was a little tricky, the experienced Elder Genji immediately spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Your Excellency the Daimyo seems to be discussing something important here. Do you want me and others to step aside for a while?"
As one of the oldest ninjas in the Kirigakure Village, he has been a high-ranking official in the village since its establishment. Elder Genji has dealt with the daimyo more than once.
On the way, Kaito even learned that when the previous daimyo was in office, Elder Genji had a lot of communication with him.
There is naturally no stage fright at this moment.
The daimyo on the opposite side didn't seem to care much about such a scene.
He simply straightened his collar in a formal manner, motioned for several officials to return to their seats, and then began to speak.
"It's nothing serious. Elder Genji, please take a seat."
Upon hearing this, Elder Genji did not take a seat immediately. Instead, he slightly leaned to the side, led Kaito to the front, and introduced him.
"Your Excellency, this is the village jonin mentioned in the previous letter, Mirukawa Kaito. He is also the only candidate for the future Fourth Mizukage of our Kirigakure Village."
However, after Elder Genji finished speaking, he did not wait for Kaito to say hello.
The Daimyo of the Land of Water on the opposite side seemed a little impatient and simply waved his hand.
"Sit down first and talk."
As soon as these words were spoken, the four Land of Water officials immediately showed anxious looks on their faces, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Kaito and Elder Genji looked at each other unconsciously.
"Is the Daimyo of the Land of Water going to cause trouble?"
The original selection of the Mizukage of the Kirigakure Village actually had nothing to do with the Daimyo and was usually just a formality.
The purpose of today's meeting is not to get the approval of Daimyo.
The meeting was held to enable better cooperation between the Land of Water and the Kirigakure Village in the future.
Moreover, this time, because the Land of Water had defeated Konoha's troops before, it had gained a lot of advantages in the negotiations. In the previous contacts with the daimyo, the other party also praised the performance of the Kirigakure Village on the battlefield this time.
Even the fact that Kaito would succeed the Fourth Mizukage was conveyed to the Daimyo Prefecture by the elder Genji after the Third Hokage's death was announced.
The other party also agrees with this.
As a result, with this attitude now, it seems that things have taken a new turn?

Chapter 316: Kizaru who is hopeless and wants to hide
When Whitebeard and Shiwen were fighting.
The Marine Headquarters also received a message from the surveillance ship.
Then Fleet-Admiral Kong also held an emergency meeting.
In the solemn meeting room.
Kong looked at the marine officers present.
"This is the situation. The unknown creatures that appeared from the Island of Fear appeared in Whitebeard's tetory waters and are fighting with Whitebeard at this time."
He paused and continued.
"The stone man who fought against Whitebeard was very powerful and was able to temporarily stalemate with the Four Emperors Whitebeard."
After hearing what Kong said, the marine officers present fell into deep thought, looking at the projected photos with solemn faces.
A few days ago, due to rumors of the changes on the Island of Fear, the marine base on the nearby Island of Fear also sent out exploration ships.
After all, the Island of Fear was related to that man.
Even if it was just a rumor, the marines had to take it seriously.
However, the ship that went there was eventually destroyed by a strange creature from the Island of Fear.
The exploration ship at that time only had time to take a photo and upload it.
The figure in that photo was exactly the same as the figure in the battle with Whitebeard this time.
Unknown creature, stone body, full of strange crack-like lines.
The marines could not determine whether it was a devil fruit transformation or an unknown creature.
It was just related to the Island of Fear, so the Marine took it very seriously and gave it the code name Stone Man.
"It's a troubled time. I didn't expect that such a situation would happen before the situation of the Island of Fear was clear."
"Did that colloid-like figure also come out of the Island of Fear? What happened there? Could it be..."
"That man is really not dead!"
Sengoku frowned as he looked at the situation in his hand.
Others were also solemn when they heard Sengoku's words.
"Stop the unnecessary speculation. Whether it is the undead ghost of the King of Fear or he has returned, there is no conclusion. Now we need to pay attention to the strange creature that appeared this time."
"As for the King of Fear, even if the worst result really happens, but..."
At this time, Kong cast his eyes on a figure on the side, the Admiral Sun King, now known as the Sun God.
Everyone looked over and relaxed their tense minds.
That's right, no matter what the King of Fear is like, as long as King is still there, there is no need to worry.
"Let's put aside the changes on the Island of Fear for now. What do you think about the battle between Codename Stoneman and Whitebeard?"
Kong put aside the question of the Island of Fear for now, and then asked.
To be honest.
The rumors about the Island of Fear are more difficult for the Marine to deal with.
After all, just hearing about the Island of Fear makes the marines who are carrying out the exploration mission tremble and dare not go to the island to explore.
Now, it is even more difficult to explore the unknown creatures that can fight Whitebeard from the island.
No one knows what is going on there.
If there are still similar creatures entrenched there.
Ordinary marines have no chance of survival.
But if a powerful Marine is sent to explore, what if the King of Fear is really not dead and is still staying there.
The Marine that goes up will basically be dead.
Even the top combat power is as fragile as a child in front of that monster.
It is impossible for Kong to hand over such a risky task to those top combat powers. They are the guarantee of shocking the sea, and it is very hard-won.
So, we can only temporarily ignore the Island of Fear.
As long as there is nothing wrong with this island, just treat it as if it does not exist.
The most important thing now is to find out the details of these strange creatures and learn about the situation of the Island of Fear through them.
"How terrible! This stone man can actually fight against Whitebeard. He is really a monster! If I go up now, I will be knocked down in a few moves!"
When Kong asked, a slow voice expressed his opinion.
It was Kizaru. His upper body was still tied with a large circle of bandages. Seeing everyone looking at him.
He touched the bandages on his body as if to show it, for fear that others would not know that he was injured now.
Seeing this, Kong's forehead was full of crosses.
In the Death Island War.
In addition to Kizaru, other marine officers were also attacked by the King of Fear.
But they only wrapped a little bandage, and Kizaru was the most outrageous. His upper body was wrapped like a mummy.
This guy just doesn't want to go on dangerous missions.
It's really hopeless!
"Hahahahaha, Borsalino, now is a good opportunity to make up for your mistakes, you kid still want to be lazy."
At this time, Garp was still eating his senbei, laughing while eating.
In the Death Island War, Kizaru's performance made the Five Elders very dissatisfied. In addition to Kizaru, Issho was in a similar situation.
Although the two of them still have military ranks, they have been suspended.
It stands to reason that Kizaru, who was suspended, could not attend the meeting.
But the rules are set by people, and Kong still has the qualifications to let him listen as an observer.
"Garp-san, please bypass me! I'm not suitable for missions now."
Kizaru spread his hands and looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water after being told by Garp.
After all, it's unknown what the situation is with the two mysterious non-human creatures that suddenly appeared this time!
But no matter what the situation is, just because the stone man can fight Whitebeard and may be related to that man, Kizaru doesn't want to go up and fight.
The sea is getting more and more turbulent now, and the world is getting more and more incomprehensible.
At this time, you must be stable and stay alive to win.
Anyway, the marines are not without people now, whoever wants to go can go.
"Let's stop here!"
Kong stopped the topic from going off track, and then turned his attention to other officers...
The other officers looked at each other.
After a while, Tsuru spoke up to express his opinion.
"I think we should pay close attention to the results of this battle. It is absolutely impossible for the stone man to come to Whitebeard's territory and fight him this time."
"From the performance of these guys, they are intelligent creatures. They must have a clear goal."
"We just need to find out why they are fighting with Whitebeard this time."
Tsuru's words made many officers nod.
Seeing everyone nod, Tsuru looked indifferent and continued.
"Moreover, these creatures that have appeared on the Island of Fear are in the New World. The pirates should be anxious. At that time, we just need to wait for the news they have spied on."
In any case, there is an unknown creature that can fight a monster like Whitebeard.
Such combat power is very eye-catching.
Those pirates entrenched in the New World can't help but be interested.
Then we can use them to obtain information.
Tsuru hopes that they are making a fuss this time.
According to the existing information.
The two figures who went to Whitebeard are strange creatures with special abilities, pretending to be ghosts on the Island of Fear..
But those two guys don't look human from the photo.
How could two species appear at once?
And these two species don't look like creatures that can evolve naturally!
It's hard to imagine how they reproduce.
Then, the worst is the last case.
The creation ability.
This can be completely referred to the animated life created by Big Mom. Before the Death Island War, Esdeath's little follower Kaone was wandering in front of Tsuru, and Tsuru still remembered it clearly.
This time these strange creatures appeared from the Island of Fear.
If the King of Fear is really not dead, he can create this kind of life with his ability.
Although it is a bit outrageous, Tsuru can accept it.
But this is the worst case.
It's terrible.
"Well, Vice Admiral Tsuru said it well, do you have any additions?"
Kong looked back at the surrounding officers with a solemn expression.
Bang!
When the atmosphere in the conference room was serious, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and the voice was a little hurried.
"Report, there is a situation in the territory of the Four Emperors Big Mom, two strange creatures have invaded, and they are fighting fiercely with Big Mom..."
"What!!"

Chapter 318 Funeral
The elder Genji standing by looked at Kaito with eyes full of kindness.
It seemed that Kaito was satisfied with today's welcome, and he himself felt happy too.
As for what Kaito said about the "change in village style", Elder Genji didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Since it has been confirmed that Kaito will be the next Mizukage, the general direction of the matter will naturally be decided by the Mizukage.
When they arrived at the Mizukage's office, Ao did not follow the two in.
After the front-line troops withdrew, there was still a lot of personnel arrangement work that needed his attention.
The other accompanying personnel basically did what they were supposed to do.
In the end, only Kaito and Elder Genji stayed.
Elder Genji's original intention was to talk to Kaito about the previous peace talks with Konoha and the village's future arrangements.
After all, although they had been in contact through letters before, it was not as convenient as communicating face to face.
However, as soon as he walked into the Mizukage's office, before Elder Genji could speak, Kaito, who was rubbing his face, suddenly spoke.
"Why didn't Mizukage-sama show up today?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Genji's expression tightened, and then he immediately sighed.
Kaito asked this not because he was arrogant enough to think that the 'Third Mizukage' must come out to greet him in person.
Instead, the so-called 'Third Mizukage' has always been impersonated by the elder Genji's bodyguard Gonbei.
Given Elder Genji's character, he would not have forgotten to ask the Third Mizukage to show up since he had made such a big scene to welcome him and his group today.
On the contrary, if the 'Third Mizukage' does not show up at this time, it will arouse others' suspicion.
The cane in Elder Genji's hand trembled slightly, and he spoke slowly.
"I have informed all the jonin in the village of the Third Mizukage-sama's death."
Upon hearing this, Kaito stopped what he was doing and looked at the other party with puzzled eyes.
"Why?"
Originally, Kaito hoped to announce the death of the Third Mizukage after he officially succeeded as the Fourth Hokage after the war was over.
This also allows the old man who has been leading Kirigakure to be able to complete this Great Ninja War from beginning to end.
For some unknown reason, Elder Genji suddenly announced the news ahead of time.
Elder Genji stared at Kaito's face, revealed a somewhat complicated smile, and explained.
"That old guy probably also hopes that it is you who will lead the Kirigakure Village to victory this time."
Upon hearing this, Kaito was stunned.
Just as he wanted to give the credit for this victory to the Third Mizukage.
Elder Genji also believed that the old man would rather leave this victory to pave the way for Kaito, the future Mizukage.
Seeing Kaito fall into silence and remain silent, Elder Genji still spoke to comfort him.
"Don't have too much psychological burden, this is your victory."
"Um."
In the end, Kaito just responded lightly and stopped talking.
After the room was silent for a while, he spoke again.
"Prepare for a funeral."
Elder Genji, who had been silently accompanying Kaito, originally wanted to persuade him to wait a little longer.
After all, the village had just been celebrating a great victory, so it might be inappropriate to hold a funeral right away.
But after seeing Kaito's determined eyes, he didn't say anything more.
Turn around and arrange the relevant matters.
The next morning.
The Kirigakure Village, which was bustling yesterday, now seems unusually quiet.
The village is shrouded in mist all year round, and today there is a thick layer of dark clouds in the sky, making the atmosphere in the village even more depressing.
This funeral was not only held for the Third Mizukage, but also for all the Kirigakure ninjas who died in this war.
The Kirigakure ninjas dressed in black stood in a neat row in front of the memorial tablet in the village.
The silence is unsettling.
It seemed that the dark clouds had gathered to a certain extent, and a drizzle began to fall from the sky, dripping on everyone's head.
Elder Genji stood in front of the tombstone and read the eulogy in a calm voice.
After discussing with Kaito yesterday, the two defined the death of the Third Mizukage as being due to severe injuries sustained on the battlefield, coupled with illness caused by overwork.
Perhaps in the eyes of most Kirigakure ninjas, the Third Mizukage showed more majesty and even cruelty.
But maybe it was influenced by today's atmosphere.
The passing of this old man, who may have been in office longer than most ninjas, still leaves many people a little overwhelmed.
It was as if the old man should sit in that position forever.
Similarly, the Kirigakure ninjas seem to have become indifferent to life and death.
When they heard the names, familiar or unfamiliar, appear on the death list, they seemed to feel the heaviness of war a little.
Following the calm voice of Elder Genji, the final eulogy was read out.
Standing at the front of the team, Kaito, who was also dressed in black, walked forward slowly.
Recalling his promise to the Third Mizukage in his mind, he placed a white flower in front of the memorial tablet and quietly stepped aside.
Watching a ninja holding a white flower walk forward and leave the flower behind.
He also thought that these people might have been surrounded by colorful flowers yesterday.
Kaito slowly raised his head, his mind cleared, and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.
"Ninjas are a strange bunch."
Fine raindrops slowly slid down Kaito's cheeks.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment.
It was unknown how long it was before Kaito came to his senses when the last ninja left the cemetery.
The drizzle had stopped at some point.
At this moment, a ray of sunlight penetrated the dark clouds in the sky, and also penetrated the mist that lingered in the Kirigakure Village all year round, and splashed in front of Kaito.
Seeing this beam of sunlight, even Kaito himself suddenly smiled for some reason.
Then he casually shook off the raindrops on his hair and strode out of the cemetery.
Over the next two days, there was a wild celebration followed by a solemn funeral.
Most of the people in the Kirigakure Village seemed to have consumed too much energy in this tug of war.
For more than ten days thereafter, the entire Kirigakure Village was eerily peaceful.
It seemed as if everyone had suddenly returned to the unchanging daily life before the war began.
Kaito also officially moved into the Mizukage office, and with the assistance of Elder Genji and Ao, he handled various affairs in the village.
"Kaito."
Kaito, who had just approved the "Application for Subsidy for the Injured", heard the elder Genji calling him, and immediately looked at him.
Elder Genji walked in with a scroll in his hand and spoke.
"The reply from the Daimyo side came, and they want to invite you to go to the Daimyo Mansion."

Chapter 317 Welcome Home
After just four days.
Konoha's Utatane Koharu actually brought the envoy of the Land of Fire Daimyo to the Kirigakure front camp again.
They didn't even know how they reached a consensus with the Daimyo of the Land of Water.
The envoy from the Daimyo of the Land of Water also arrived on the same day.
But it can also be seen that Konoha is indeed extremely anxious.
There were no unexpected changes during the formal signing this time. The two parties just had a brief exchange and then successfully signed the treaty.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and other Konoha ninjas were also released.
At this time, Kaito was sitting alone in the tent, flipping through the Scroll of seals sent by Konoha out of boredom.
'These people are really stingy.'
Although he also knew that Konoha would not give a complete copy of the Book of Seals to Kirigakure.
But there are too many things missing.
Except for powerful ninjutsu like 'Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu' and 'Flying Thunder God Jutsu'.
Only a few such as 'Four Symbols Seal’ and 'Multiplication Explosive Tags' are acceptable.
However, all of these ninjutsu are extremely difficult to learn, or are extremely harmful to oneself, or may even be both.
This is also why Kaito thinks Konoha is too stingy.
Moreover, after reading it carefully, Kaito also noticed that the "Flying Thunder God Jutsu" might still be the original version developed by Senju Tobirama, and did not contain any subsequent improvements made by Namikaze Minato.
"Well, the authenticity of these techniques should also be questioned. If you pass them on in the future, you still have to make a note of it, so as not to be deceived by the people of Konoha."
After that, when Kaito officially succeeds to the position of Mizukage, all the ninjutsu accumulated by the entire Kirigakure Village will be open to him.
The Scroll of seals obtained this time will also be added to the village's inventory.
He even planned to throw some of the non-core ninjutsu that Kaito obtained through the system lottery into the Kirigakure warehouse and use them to reward meritorious ninjas in the future.
It can be considered as training talents for the village.
However, this Scroll of Seals is not completely useless to Kaito.
What is somewhat surprising is that among the records about the 'Flying Thunder God Jutsu', there is actually a branch called 'Flying Thunder God Seal'.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the move that Minato Namikaze used to seal the dragon vein."
After Kaito's preparation, he directly threw this part of the content to the Sealing Squad, asking them to study for him whether they could use this part of the seal alone.
Just as he was casually flipping through the Scroll of Seals.
Ao lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.
"Kaito, we can go now."
Four days later, outside the Kirigakure Village.
Because there is no urgent task this time.
The returning troops led by Kaito and Ao were not in too much of a hurry. They led the team back to the Kirigakure Village at a leisurely pace.
However, before they reached the village gate, they saw a long team outside the village welcoming the victorious army.
Standing at the front of the team was Elder Genji.
Following them was a team of thousands of ninjas.
Further out, there are more ordinary villagers from the Kirigakure Village.
The sunlight penetrated the clouds and fell on the earth, and everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.
“Welcome home!”
There was also a gentle smile on the old face of Elder Genji.
His eyes were clearly looking at Kaito, but it seemed as if he was looking at the past and the future.
After hearing what Elder Genji said, Kaito was stunned for a moment, but did not answer immediately.
Instead, he looked up at the smiling faces around him.
He saw Harusame, Nakamura Keiko, Ichiro Shimotsuki, and Ringo Ameyuri riding on his neck.
One by one, faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar, passed by Kaito's eyes.
At this moment, he seemed to have found the meaning of his coming to the ninja world.
Then, a sincere smile also appeared on Kaito's face, and he spoke softly.
"I'm back."
The voice of this sentence was obviously not loud, but under the expectant gaze of everyone, it seemed as if it could be heard by everyone.
The next moment, the crowd was boiling.
"Woo~~"
“Welcome home!”
"Victory!"
Everyone was roaring and waving their arms excitedly.
Countless flowers, which were considered luxuries in the Kirigakure Village, were thrown to the returning troops.
These ninjas who usually show their arrogance and indifference, which one of them didn't retreat when others saw them? When had they ever received such a warm welcome from ordinary villagers?
At this moment, it seemed as if the lingering smell of blood on the body was somewhat dispelled by the endless flowers and cheers.
A rare, stiff but sincere smile appeared on their faces.
After all, who doesn’t want to be welcomed and admired by others?
On the top of the wall in the distance, Biwa Juzo and Kaguya Rosso, who were lying on the parapet on the left and right, couldn't help smacking their lips as they looked at the team below that was being warmly welcomed.
"If I had known, I would have come back with that kid Kaito. We were the first to come back, but that old man Genji didn't even bother to prepare a welcome ceremony for us!"
Kaguya Rosso, who was standing by, listened to Biwa Juzo's sour words with a look of disgust on his face.
"You bastard! You should call him Mirukawa-sama! Besides, do you understand? Are the troops who return after the formal signing of the treaty to end the war the same as the troops who return early?"
Biwa Juzo looked at Kaguya Rosso beside him with some horror.
Originally, the two had been getting closer recently, mainly because they had cooperated several times on the battlefield, and both felt that the other's fighting style was very much in line with their own aesthetics.
And another thing that Biwa Juzo considered was that being with Kaguya Rosso, a pure reckless man, would make him appear to have a higher IQ.
Unexpectedly, he was mocked by the other party today?
After he realized it, he immediately felt embarrassed.
He bared his sharp teeth, his knuckles made a crackling sound, and said with a sly smile on his face.
"Boy, you have to know that I am a ninja swordsman! Logically, you should call me Sama!"
However, Kaguya Rosso, who was threatened by him, was not afraid at all, and the look of disgust on his face became even stronger.
"Afraid of you? But do you know? I am from the flying unit! If you have the ability, we can fight in the sky!"
As soon as these words came out.
Biwa Juzo, who originally had a smirk on his face, suddenly froze and stood there in a daze.
Not to mention these two funny guys were pulling each other on the city wall.
Kaito struggled forward amid the enthusiastic cheers of everyone, and followed the elder Genji to the Mizukage Building.
There was still a lot of noise outside at this time, but Kaito and his companions finally relaxed a little.
Looking at Kaito, whose cheeks were almost stiff from laughing, Elder Genji couldn't help but shake his head in amusement.
"Why? Are you not used to it?"
"Maybe? But I like it!"
"It would be nice if the style of the village changed."

Chapter 315 Whitebeard and Shiwen's battle
Time passed slowly.
A few hours later, Moby Dick arrived at a deserted island.
The island was only three or four kilometers long, oval in shape, with sparse vegetation, desolate soil and rocks, and you could see the end at a glance.
At this time, Whitebeard and the captains came to the island.
Except for the captain Marco, everyone else stayed on the ship.
After all, Whitebeard will probably go all out in the next battle.
Although this island is not small, it is still easy to be affected.
Dang!
"Gulala! Come on! Let me see where your confidence is~?"
At this time, Whitebeard smashed the long handle of the Murakumogiri in his hand on the ground, and laughed at the two demons opposite.
Marco and the others were also watching with their bodies tense not far away.
If the other party intends to fight one against two, then they will naturally not sit idly by.
"Your opponent is me."
Under Whitebeard's oppressive gaze, a gray stone man with grid-like patterns on his body and cracks on his body walked out.
"Shiwen, one of the seven apostles of the demon clan, this is my name, and I will do my best to defeat you next."
Shiwen's stone face said seriously.
He did not give himself a resounding name, because of the patterns on his appearance and his body that looked like stone, so he named himself Shiwen.
In terms of personality, Shiwen is relatively low-key and humble.
Seven apostles? Hearing Shiwen's self-introduction.
Whitebeard captured the information revealed in it, the seven apostles, and the aura of the two apostles in front of him made him a little scared.
If there are really other apostles, are they also so powerful?
If they are all so powerful, then this demon clan is a bit incredible.
His thoughts drifted to Ryomen Sukuna again.
Demon God Ryomen Sukuna, I did not expect that after the marine's King was awarded the title of Sun God, Ryomen Sukuna would also become a god?
This feeling made Whitebeard feel a little subtle.
God! Such a title.
Those guys in the World Government might be worried about these gods with terrible power!
"Gulala! Shiwen, is it? Then come on!"
Looking at Whitebeard in front of him, Shiwen nodded.
The lines on his legs and feet lit up white light, and the whole person shot directly towards Whitebeard.
The huge shock spread from the soles of Shiwen's feet to the soil and rocks on the ground, directly shaking the soil and rocks into pieces of tofu and then breaking into smaller shapes.
This is not a simple reaction force, but Shiwen's ability.
He relied on the use of this ability to burst out at an unimaginable speed and came to Whitebeard.
The lines on the right arm were glowing white, and Whitebeard swung it fiercely at him as his pupils shrank.
Boom boom boom!
The huge sound shook the sky.
Whitebeard grabbed the fist that Stone Pattern was swinging with one hand.
However.
The shock wave passed directly through Whitebeard, breaking the soil and rocks on a large area of the ground behind him into pieces of tofu-like gravel, and then the gravel rushed out directly with the shock wave.
Plop! Plop!
Crash! Crash!
The gravel was directly shot out thousands of meters and fell on the sea, making a sound and raising waves.
"How is it possible? That guy's speed is so fast! And this kind of attack..."
The captains who were watching dozens of meters away were all surprised, and Vista said this in surprise.
They were somewhat prepared for the strength of these strange creatures with terrible auras.
But with the speed of the stone man, he couldn't help but be surprised, because he looked like a stone body.
Then the speed should be slower.
In addition, there is the power that makes the ground vibrate.
This is different from the battlefield feeling when other strong men fight each other. This power is inexplicably familiar.
The center of the battle between Whitebeard and Shiwen.
If Vista is inexplicably familiar, then Whitebeard, who is fighting with Shiwen, is even more confused.
This power, this ability, he is too familiar with.
Vibration, as if to directly shatter a person's body and internal organs from the outside to the inside.
Although it is somewhat different from his manifestation, this is completely similar to his Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
This guy!!
Whitebeard took a few steps back and asked.
"Is this your devil fruit ability?"
Seeing Whitebeard resist his attack, Shiwen was also a little happy in his heart. He himself has a more belligerent personality.
"I have never eaten a devil fruit. This is my own ability."
Faced with Whitebeard's inquiry, Shiwen answered honestly.
Shiwen's answer made Whitebeard's pupils shrink slightly, but this world is fantastic and magnificent.
In addition, the recent changes in the times are so overwhelming that Whitebeard did not delve into it.
Now his primary goal is to defeat the guy in front of him first.
"Gulala, what a powerful ability. Then, let me use my ability too."
Whitebeard laughed and clenched the Murakumogiri with both hands. A white ball of light appeared on the blade.
A violent swing.
Bang!
The sound resounded through the sky.
Crack! Crack!
The air in front of Shiwen's eyes shattered like a mirror.
As Whitebeard's shock ability was exerted, Shiwen felt that his whole body was about to be twisted, and the powerful force penetrated his body and vibrated.
There was also smoke and dust around him.
Due to Whitebeard's ability.
The sea level even raised huge waves, forming a tsunami moving far away.
Whitebeard, once the strongest man in the world, even though he was defeated many times, he still has a terrible deterrent power.
It is not really without a trace of basis that he has the power to destroy the world.
The power of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit can easily cause a tsunami.
If Whitebeard is allowed to use it continuously, causing a chain reaction, it will be a disaster for many islands in the world.
Therefore, the marine's surveillance of Whitebeard has always been at the forefront, and generally tries to lock Whitebeard's position.
Just like now.
As Whitebeard raised a tsunami.
The small marine surveillance ship that was monitoring the Moby Dick from a distance immediately reported to the Marine Headquarters through the Transponder Snail.
When these surveillance marines reported.
On the deserted island.
As the smoke and dust gradually fell, the stone pattern appeared in front of Whitebeard again.
Intact, no signs of injury can be seen, and the breathing is very stable.
"Such power can't hurt me."
At this time, Shiwen looked at the somewhat surprised Whitebeard and said seriously.
As a spiritual life, Shiwen has great immunity to ordinary attacks, unless he is interfering with matter. At this time, he can form an effective attack through the reaction force, which is actually similar to the Stand.
Apart from this, Shiwen itself symbolizes the power of earthquake.
The power of vibration also has a lot of immunity for him.
After a while.
Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit is really not a big threat to him if it attacks directly.
Unless, Whitebeard adds the power of Haki.
"Gulala, it's not up to you whether it can hurt or not!"
Whitebeard also saw a problem.
Use Haki when in doubt, which is also a tacit understanding among the strong.
"Come again!"
Armament Haki, Conqueror Haki, and fruit ability intertwined, and then bombarded Shiwen.
This time Whitebeard directly took real action.
Facing the power of Whitebeard, Shiwen also had a solemn face, and all the lines on his body lit up.
Then infinite power burst out from his fist and collided with Whitebeard's peak attack.

Chapter 316: End of the Peace Talks
Kaito and Ao were very satisfied with this.
In terms of the amount of money and materials, the Kirigakure Village made great concessions, but the benefits in other areas still far exceeded the two's previous expectations.
The assignment of tasks to several small coastal countries actually also contains the meaning of vassalage, but there is no such thing as a clear-cut vassal state in the ninja world, it is more about influence.
Similarly, it does not mean that the civilians of these countries cannot entrust tasks to other ninja villages, but the tasks of the upper-class daimyo and nobles will be given priority to Kirigakure. With the upper class following, the lower-class people will naturally tend to Kirigakure.
This is actually a huge blow to Konoha's control over the sea.
On the other hand, the shadow secret technique that Kaito wanted was also sternly rejected by the other party.
However, Kaito didn't have high expectations for this matter.
The current Konoha really doesn't dare to force the Ino, Shika, and Cho clans to hand over their clan secrets.
Otherwise, these three clans would not have to go to the point of rebellion. Just a slight expression of dissatisfaction or passive resistance could have led to the collapse of Konoha's front line.
On the contrary, Kaito originally just added the "Scroll of Seals" casually.
Unexpectedly, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually agreed in the end.
It's true that the son doesn't feel any pain when he sells his father's land.
Although the 'Scroll of Seals' that Konoha gave to Kirigakure would inevitably be edited.
However, Kaito recited more than a dozen forbidden techniques from the "Scroll of Seals" in one breath, as if he was reading out the names of dishes.
He also said that if Konoha wanted to breach the contract, Kirigakure would consider whether to tear up the contract.
This caused Sarutobi Hiruzen to begin to suspect whether there was a traitor among Konoha's high-level officials.
You know, some of the forbidden techniques mentioned by Kaito have not been mastered by anyone since they were included in the 'Scroll of Seals'. Unless some high-level people have seen the 'Scroll of Seals, it is impossible for others to know these.
However, Kirigakure itself is actually aware that the reason why forbidden techniques are forbidden is that they are either extremely difficult to learn, or the conditions for performing them are harsh and the side effects are huge.
Therefore, even if they obtained a copy of the 'Scroll of Seals', it would only enrich the village's reserves.
It is still unknown when it will actually be used.
As for the last one, the so-called alliance between the two villages.
This was added at the strong request of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Originally, Kaito's opinion was just to sign an armistice treaty.
However, even if it was finally changed to an alliance, the impact was actually not that big.
It is even more impossible for the Kirigakure Village to help Konohagakure send troops just because of the simple word "alliance".
Even on the Kumogakure side, given the upcoming strategies of Kaito and Elder Genji, they would not choose to take the initiative to attack.
As the peace treaty was officially negotiated, Kaito and Ao, along with the three people from Konoha, walked out of the front-line command tent.
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot be released for the time being.
However, just as they walked out of the tent, they saw several Kirigakure ninjas dragging a whole cart of corpses dressed as Konoha Anbu and walking towards the distance.
"Mirukawa-sama! What is Kirigakure planning to do?!"
Upon seeing this, Tsunade immediately glared at Kaito in front of her.
After more than ten hours of verbal sparring, the people of Konoha have already realized that this overly young brat is the real leader of the Kirigakure front line.
When something like this happened, everyone naturally looked at Kaito, wanting an explanation.
Kaito had also been with them the whole time, so of course he didn't know exactly what had happened.
But he didn't care too much about it.
These corpses were definitely not the Konoha ninjas among the captives. Although there were a few Konoha Anbu among those captives, it was impossible for them to have been detained for several days while still wearing masks.
Kaito simply waved his hand and called over a Kirigakure Ninja who was transporting the corpse.
"Kaneki, come here. What's going on?"
The one-eyed team leader immediately trotted over when he saw Kaito calling him.
However, after arriving, he first subconsciously looked at the three people from Konoha standing beside him, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Mirukawa-sama."
"It's okay, just tell me what happened."
After hearing this, the ninja named Kaneki continued speaking with some trepidation.
"These people tried to sneak into the camp last night to sabotage it. Many of them were carrying a large number of explosive tags. However, before they could take action, they were discovered and killed by Kisame-sama who was on duty."
"Kisame-sama means that we should send them to the torture squad first to see if we can get any information from their body."
As soon as these words came out.
It was Kaito's turn to look at the three people from Konoha with a smile.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also felt a headache after hearing this. He walked helplessly to the cart where the corpses were placed and lifted the mask of one of the corpses.
But then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and said to Kaito and Ao.
"I can confirm that this is not a ninja from Konoha."
Kaito nodded upon hearing this and asked casually.
"I heard that Konoha has an organization called the Root, and they seem to be dressed the same as the Anbu?"
However, when Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he still shook his head firmly.
"The Root is also a part of Konoha, and these people are not members of the Root."
"All right."
Kaito did not ask any further questions about this.
In fact, the peace talks have been basically confirmed, so it doesn’t matter whether these people are Konoha’s ninjas or not.
Moreover, Kaito himself felt that these people were most likely ninjas from other villages who wanted to disguise themselves as Konoha ninjas in order to disrupt the peace talks.
But he didn’t expect that the other party would have the courage to sneak directly into the Kirigakure camp.
It seems that he doesn't take Kirigakure seriously enough.
However, this is also the reason why Kaito had to set the location of the peace talks in the Land of Whirlpool camp.
One is to put a certain amount of negotiating pressure on Konoha, and the other is to prevent anyone from sabotaging.
It has come to this point, and he doesn't want to create any more complications.
Then he said to Kaneki who was standing beside him.
"Okay, go on and do your thing."
After the ninja left, Kaito turned around and looked at Tsunade and the others.
"Since the matter has been completed, I will not see you off."
"We should be allies next time we meet. I am still looking forward to having a peaceful exchange with an excellent medical ninja like Tsunade-senpai."
However, Tsunade on the opposite side, looking at Kaito who had a gentle smile on his face, just snorted coldly and did not reply.
On the contrary, Utatane Koharu on the side nodded very politely to Kaito, and then walked out of the camp with Tsunade under the guidance of a Kirigakure ninja.
Seeing this, Kaito shook his head and laughed, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen who was watching the two of them go away.
"Hokage-sama, has Tsunade-senpai always been like this?"

Chapter 315 Losers Always Pay a Price
Looking at Utatane Koharu's expression which was gradually becoming ferocious.
Kaito spread his hands towards her with an innocent look on his face.
"Losers always have to pay a price, don't they?"
"But."
Utatane Koharu was about to speak when she was interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen who was standing beside her and waved his hand.
He also saw what was marked on the document.
“Mirukawa-sama, you should know that the above requests are simply impossible. Most of them are beyond my control."
In fact, what Sarutobi Hiruzen said was true.
Don't think that Konoha is so wealthy now.
After continuous wars, Konoha has long been unable to make ends meet.
The vast majority of supplies also need to rely on subsidies from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Not to mention that among the conditions proposed by Kaito, there are conditions such as building a new port on the territory of the Land of Fire.
However, Kaito still had the same expression and said nonchalantly.
"It doesn't matter. If the conditions are not suitable, we can talk about it slowly. We are not in a hurry about this."
"You"
Utatane Koharu was a little defensive and wanted to point her finger at Kaito, but after hesitating for a moment, she did not raise her hand in the end.
Kirigakure has not received any information yet.
In fact, just last night, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han from the Iwagakure side led a large number of Iwagakure ninjas to attack the northern line camp of Konohagakure.
Although they were forced back by Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato.
But Konoha also suffered heavy casualties.
If Konoha wasn't left with only one elder, Utatane Koharu, they would be a little undecided.
At this time, Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, may have been sent to the front line.
"Kaito, do you really think that we in Konoha have no strength to fight?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned forward, as if he wanted to suppress the kid opposite him with his momentum.
However, Kaito didn't care at all about the threats from his defeated opponent.
Indeed.
Considering the existing military strength of Konoha, even if the entire army was mobilized at all costs, they would not be able to fight in one battle.
It is not impossible to drive all the remaining three ninja villages out of the Land of Fire.
But so what?
This is bound to be a lose-lose battle.
After the war, it remains to be seen whether the remaining ninjas in Konoha can maintain the current situation.
Maybe even ordinary daily commissions can no longer be undertaken.
After all, ninjas still have to rely on missions to make money.
This is also the reason why the Kirigakure Village has the advantage in this war and is still preparing for peace talks.
Otherwise, even if they obtained more tasks, with the current five or six thousand ninjas of Kirigakure, they would not be able to complete them even if they tried their best.
Instead, it will lead to the loss of word of mouth.
Even before this battle, the elder Genji was considering the possible loss of a large number of ninjas if the war was lost.
All the corresponding arrangements are made according to the fact that Kirigakure will completely shrink in the next ten years, abandon all tasks outside the Land of Water, concentrate on training the next generation, and wait for Kaito to rise.
Of course, now that Kirigakure has won, they will naturally not give up their deserved interests, and will be more ruthless.
Kaito slammed the table and pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen's nose and cursed.
"Old man! Don't we in Kirigakure have the strength to fight?"
"Don't forget! It was you who gave up the peace talks on your own initiative!"
"According to the agreement between the two sides, it was us, Kirigakure, who attacked Kumogakure, tying down their forces! That gave you bastards a chance to catch your breath, but you are making excuses and obstructing the peace talks! You even let that bastard Shimura Danzo come to Kirigakure to cause trouble!"
"Now you come to tell me you still have the strength to fight? If you want to fight, then keep fighting!"
Kaito, who had been smiling, suddenly jumped up, which scared the people on the opposite side.
But what Kaito said is also true.
The reason why Konoha is now able to pull some troops away from the northern battlefield of the Land of Fire is really because of the chain reaction caused by the previous attack on Kumogakure led by Kaito.
Regardless of whether Danzo's behavior was personal or not, he was caught on the spot and there was no way he could deny it.
Before this, even the Sunagakure Village had protested to Konohagakure and withdrew some of its troops from the vicinity of the Land of Stone to contain the Iwagakure.
Moreover, Konoha is indeed in urgent need of the return of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the nearly one thousand ninjas captured by Kirigakure.
Forced by the situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew that it was not appropriate to continue to be tough.
He simply put aside his pride and started to analyze this "little bit of compensation" point by point and argue with Kaito and Ao.
In the end, the negotiations lasted for more than ten hours.
At the beginning, the few people were able to maintain basic rationality, and even though there were some minor frictions, they were relatively restrained.
Later, everyone put aside their pride and almost started a fight.
Even Tsunade, who had been stimulated by hemophobia before the meeting, later stiffened her neck and engaged in a heated argument with Kaito.
Zabuza and Mei, who were serving tea and water, broke out in cold sweats.
The negotiations finally came to an end when the sun rose completely the next day.
Fortunately, the people present were all ninjas with good strength, and there were two of the top medical ninjas in the ninja world, so no one showed any symptoms due to not sleeping for a night and the high-intensity confrontation.
But in the end, the more urgent Konoha side faced the reality and chose to give up some of their interests just to bring back the combat power earlier.
Although the peace agreement has not yet been formally signed, it still needs to be reported to the daimyo.
The contract can only be officially signed under the witness of officials sent by the daimyo of the two countries, the Land of Water and Fire.
However, the basic treaty will not change any more.
The daimyo does not have much actual say in matters like these, and he merely plays a nominal role.
Even if some of the conditions might be painful for the daimyo himself, he would only make up for it by providing military funding to Konoha later.
The final conditions of both parties are as follows:
The Land of Fire and Konoha need to recognize the ownership of the Land of Water and the Kirigakure Village over the Land of Whirlpool.
At the same time, a piece of land with an area of xx thousand square meters on the territory of the Land of Fire on the other side of the Land of Whirlpool will be leased to the Land of Water for the establishment of an open port, and the Kirigakure Village will be allowed to send ninjas to be stationed there on its own. The lease period is one hundred years and the rent is one or two ryo.
Secondly, Konoha's main task share in several small coastal countries such as the Land of Bear and the Land of Wave was handed over to the Kirigakure Village.
Return the lost 'Explosive Blade: Shibuki' to Kirigakure, compensate Kirigakure for the war's military expenses of xx billion ryo, as well as a number of precious metals, food and other supplies.
He also copied a copy of the ninjutsu in the "Scroll of Seals" and donated it to the Kirigakure Village free of charge.
The Kirigakure Village needs to completely withdraw from the territory of the Land of Fire.
Release more than 800 Konoha ninjas including Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and Mitokado Homura.
At the same time, the two villages formed a strategic alliance, advanced and retreated together, and contributed to the peace of the ninja world.

Chapter 314 The apostles who attack humans will make you lose convincingly
Three days later.
The second half of the Grand Line, the New World, the sea area commanded by the Whitebeard Pirates.
While many forces are investigating the changes in the Island of Fear.
A new race suddenly appeared.
Several figures walked out directly from the mysterious Island of Fear, and swept and destroyed some surveillance ships that arrived in advance in the waters around the Island of Fear.
Now, when those forces are completely confused and unaware of the situation.
The new race called the Demon Clan has been divided into three teams of apostles and set off in three directions.
They are going in the positions of the three New World Pirate Emperors, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and Edward Newgate.
Each team consists of two people, except for the apostle named Celestial Dragon who guards the Island of Fear.
All the born apostles have already attacked.
This time, the apostles of the demon clan intend to weigh the weight of the four human emperors before considering the next plan.
Of course, the human side is still unaware of all this.
But today must be the time for the world to pay attention to this newly born magical race.
Because one of the apostles who attacked has reached the position of Whitebeard.
Their confrontation will be the first time for humans to understand the demon clan.
Crash!
Crash!
Above the sea, the sweeping waves are disillusioned.
Seagulls fly in the sky, white clouds float slowly, and the sky is clear.
The weather is peaceful.
However, On a huge pirate ship that looks like a white whale sailing on the boundless sea, the atmosphere is solemn.
"Impossible, no matter where you are from, even if you are related to that man."
"But how can you make our Whitebeard Pirates bow down and pay tribute to you! We are the Whitebeard Pirates!"
At this time, there are two strange-looking figures on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, and many members of the Whitebeard Pirates surround them.
Among them, the captain of the first team, Marco, loudly refuted them.
Although he refuted, Marco was also tense.
Because the two monsters on the opposite side, the colloid-like humanoid and the gray stone man, who are not human at first glance, exude a strong evil aura.
Just standing in front of them, one can feel their terrible power, as if they are going to suffocate people.
From this point of view, they are really similar to that man.
But even so, they are asked to surrender right away.
How could they agree to such a thing?
"What a pity, as expected, you guys who once lived under the glory of my god don't know how to be grateful at all. In this case, let's speak with strength!"
"In addition, you should call him His Majesty the Demon God. Your address is really rude!"
Boom boom boom!
The demon named Deep Sea King burst out with an overwhelming and terrifying evil aura.
The atmosphere was trembling, the floating clouds in the sky were shaken, and the seagulls that were docked at Whitebeard's ship fell one after another.
Some seagulls that were some distance away from the Moby Dick were instinctively trembling and flew away from that terrible place at a rapid speed.
As a spiritual life born from the negative side of life, the demons' suppression of the spirit of life is very terrible.
The power they named magic flowed through their bodies, which was no longer in the same system as Haki used by humans.
Bang bang bang!
As the Deep Sea King burst out his aura.
Many weak pirates on the Moby Dick fainted and fell to the ground.
The captains' pupils shrank slightly at this scene.
This guy who claimed to be a demon was so scary, was this the Conqueror Haki?
"Gulala! Boy, you will pay a price for bursting out your power on other people's ships at will!"
Whitebeard, who had been watching the Deep Sea King and his partner, laughed loudly, and at the same time locked the apostles in front of him with his extremely powerful Conqueror's Haki.
The powerful Conqueror's Haki and the aura of the Deep Sea King collided.
The lightning in the atmosphere kept flashing, and the dazzling light made it difficult for the people present to open their eyes.
"Whitebeard you are indeed powerful, but you alone cannot compete with us demons."
"Besides, no matter what, you are just the dust that survived under our God. Now us demons will rule the sea on behalf of our God. Shouldn't you surrender?"
At this time, the Deep Sea King was also a little surprised when he felt Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki.
Sure enough, it was right to come here this time. If he let Shiwen come here alone, Shiwen might not be able to have a complete deterrent effect.
"Gulala! If you want me to surrender, then let Ryomen Sukuna come to see me in person."
Whitebeard looked at the strange guy in front of him who was still easily fighting against his Conqueror's Haki, and his heart was also solemn.
Where did these two guys who claimed to be Ryomen Sukuna's apostles come from?
He had never heard of a race like the demons in the sea, with such a strange life form and such terrifying strength.
However, this strange life form is somewhat similar to the last time I saw Ryomen Sukuna on Death Island.
Could it be that Ryomen Sukuna is really a demon?
Such a thought suddenly emerged in Whitebeard's mind, but it felt a bit far-fetched.
When he first met Ryomen Sukuna, although he was a little inhuman, he was basically no different from a human.
What exactly is going on here, Whitebeard has not yet delved into it.
From what this guy said, Ryomen Sukuna might not be dead, which is what shocked him the most.
He was not killed by such a force.
In this case, it seems reasonable to call him a demon god.
However, no matter what, Whitebeard did not bow his head because of the one-sided words of the two demons in front of him.
"You are stubborn, His Majesty the Demon God is not someone you can see whenever you want."
"Find a place! This time, I will make you lose with conviction."
The Deep Sea King said so.
As a battle for the demons to show to the world, they must win beautifully.
Now even if they defeat Whitebeard on the sea, they may still have a fluke mentality.
As for whether the boat will capsize later.
For the Deep Sea King who can control the sea.
Facing a person with the ability of Quake, the Deep Sea King is not afraid of him causing waves.
For him, the devil fruit user who fears the sea is nothing to fear.
Of course, the Deep Sea King came here just for insurance this time.
Because Whitebeard has the greatest reputation among the three targets this time, he was asked to come.
But when he arrived at the scene, The one who really fought with Whitebeard was Shiwen, the apostle who was interested in Whitebeard's ability and symbolized earthquakes.
He just needs to ensure that others cannot interfere with their battlefield, or take action when the timing is really bad.
"Oh?"
The words of the Deep Sea King made Whitebeard slightly side-eyed. This deep-rooted confidence made Whitebeard slightly tighten the Murakumogiri in his hand.
"Sons, drive the boat to the nearest deserted island."
"Yes, Pops."
Whitebeard did not refuse, and directly asked his sons to prepare.
After all, if a war really breaks out in the vast ocean, the sons on this ship will suffer heavy losses.
Moreover, Whitebeard can sense the strange life forms of these self-proclaimed demons.
Whether these guys are considered as capable people is a matter of opinion.
He remembered the recorded Lunarians tribe. Kaido's subordinate King seemed to be this race, the race with the name of God. Would the demons be related to such a race?

Chapter 314 A Little Compensation
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked deeply at Kaito.
Then he slowly walked forward, helped Tsunade who had fallen to the ground with one hand, and sat down with her.
However, at this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen had changed from the depressed state of the previous two days, and he looked much more energetic.
Kaito smiled when he saw this.
Kaito then performed a healing spell to heal the wound on his hand, wiped it twice casually, and sat down.
Just now, when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen still looking listless on the road, Kaito suspected that this old guy was showing weakness to the enemy.
After all, Konoha was defeated this time, and no matter what the outcome of the peace talks is, Kirigakure will no longer be Konoha's main opponent.
A leader who has lost his ambition is obviously more in line with Kirigakure's expectations.
However, Kaito knew that in the original story, when Konoha was in a period of transition in the future, this old man would stand up again.
Perhaps before on the battlefield, when Konoha was defeated, the other side was really disheartened.
That kind of momentary aging cannot be a disguise.
But after so many days of being alone, he still couldn't think clearly and calm down.
It seems that he is not worthy of sitting in the position of Hokage.
So as soon as he entered the tent and saw Tsunade shouting and trying to take the initiative, Kaito simply responded even more arrogantly.
Kaito just wanted to test Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Regardless of success or failure, Kirigakure will at least have the advantage in momentum during the negotiations.
As a result, as soon as Tsunade fell, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer hid.
Because he knew Utatane Koharu's character better. Once Tsunade was gone, if he continued to act cowardly, there would be no strong person left on the Konoha side at the negotiation table.
The losses in the subsequent negotiations may be far beyond expectations.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer pretended and sat down at the negotiating table with confidence.
Tsunade, who was trembling before, managed to regain her composure after Kaito wiped off the blood.
Ao simply took out the documents he had prepared earlier and handed them to Kaito.
After Kaito took it, he didn't even look at it. Instead, he said with a gentle smile on his face.
"We, the Kirigakure Village, have been committed to peace in the ninja world since its establishment. Even not long ago, we were actively promoting peace negotiations between the two Countries, the Land of Water and Fire."
"However, you first sent people to instigate my village's top ninja, Karatachi Yagura, to rebel, and then ordered Shimura Danzo to go to the Kirigakure Village under the pretext of peace talks to set up the Flying Thunder God Mark."
"Such despicable behavior has led to the continuation of the war. You should pay compensation."
When the three people from Konoha on the opposite side heard what Kaito said, they all frowned.
Not to mention how outrageous the previous words about the Kirigakure Village being peace-loving were, even if it was the accusation in the second half of the sentence, Konoha Village would not just accept it.
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately denied it.
"Konoha was not aware of what Mirukawa-sama said about instigating Karatachi Yagura to rebel. As for what Shimura Danzo did, it was his personal behavior."
However, he was interrupted by Kaito with a wave of his hand before he could finish his words.
"Personal behavior? So, Hokage-sama, what do you mean is that Shimura Danzo has already mastered the Flying Thunder God Jutsu?"
Faced with Kaito's half-smile, Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless for a moment.
Kaito then took out another scroll, removed the seal, summoned a White Zetsu corpse, and continued.
"As for the matter of provoking Jonin Yagura, this is the body of the accomplice behind the scenes. It has a good Wood Style. I think with Tsunade-senpai's medical level, she should be able to identify it easily, right?"
Kaito stretched out his hand with an indifferent look, indicating that Tsunade could check at will.
Looking at Tsunade, who had suppressed her previous 'hemophobia' symptoms and walked forward to check with a serious face, a gleam of light flashed in Kaito's eyes.
Naturally, Kaito had planned long ago to expose the existence of White Zetsu to Konohagakure.
Whether it is to create suspicion and conflict among the people of Konoha, or to create some obstacles for Uchiha Obito, the 'real' mastermind behind the scenes, it is a good thing for Kirigakure.
Seeing that the more Tsunade investigated, the uglier her expression became, a slight smile appeared on Kaito's lips.
"What do you think, Tsunade-senpai? This monster is indeed a Wood Style creature, right?"
However, faced with the question, Tsunade just stared into Kaito's eyes and sat back without saying a word.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Utatane Koharu standing by immediately knew that what Kaito said was true.
"Wood Style Bloodline Limit is not unique to Konoha. This obviously inhuman monster may have been forged by other ninja villages with the intention of framing us."
Hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Kaito just shrugged indifferently, and smiled as he pushed the document that Ao had handed to him in front of the three people.
"I have said so much only to make you all aware of your own situation and to make it clear that war is not the original intention of the Kirigakure Village."
"As for the terms of the peace talks, we are also willing to continue to collect compensation from you based on the terms of the previous negotiations."
The three people who had just received the documents were all stunned.
A look of joy immediately appeared on Utatane Koharu's face, and she quickly opened the document that said "Peace Treaty".
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not so optimistic.
"After Kirigakure wins, will they be so easy to talk to?"
Sure enough, Kaito continued.
"Of course, considering the damage caused to Kirigakure in the battle a few days ago, we need a little extra compensation. It shouldn't be too much of an embarrassment to Konoha, right?"
Upon hearing this, Utatane Koharu first glanced at the seemingly harmless Kaito, and then immediately quickly flipped through the file to the last part of the supplementary items.
Then everything went dark in front of her eyes and she almost fainted.
The so-called "little bit of compensation" by Kaito was actually densely written on more than ten pages of paper, and he even considerately marked in red those "supplementary" compensation items.
Except for the original ownership of the Land of Whirlpool and the "Explosive Blade: Shibuki" that was promised to be returned to Kirigakure, everything else has changed.
From small changes like an increase in the amount of compensation, to the reduction of trade tariffs with the Land of Water, to the addition of various rare metals and high-quality varieties to the list of materials.
From the newly added mission shares of the Land of Hot Waters, the Land of Bears, the Land of Craftsmen and other Countries, to even opening up a new port exclusively for the Land of Water on the border coastline of the Land of Fire.
The most outrageous thing is that Kaito added it at the end himself.
The inherited secret techniques of the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly clans, as well as the Scroll of Seals that has been passed down in Konoha to this day.
Utatane Koharu really couldn't imagine how thick-skinned the kid in front of her was.
Can he call this lion's mouth a "little bit of compensation"?

Chapter 313: Hokage-sama, please take a seat
Originally, Kaito expected that the negotiation team from Konoha would arrive in two days.
After all, Konoha’s defeat happened just a few days ago.
Moreover, the Third Hokage was captured, and Konoha didn't even have anyone who could take charge.
From receiving the intelligence of defeat, to contacting the daimyo, forming a negotiation team, and determining the negotiation guidelines, this series of things all require time to prepare.
Now it seems that Konoha on the northern front of the Land of Fire is no longer able to hold on.
Of course, this is undoubtedly good news for Kirigakure today.
Kaito immediately let Kabuto study on his own in the tent, while he followed Zabuza towards the commander's tent.
"Do you know who is coming from Konohagakure?"
As Kaito walked, he casually asked Zabuza who was standing beside him.
"The leaders are Utatane Koharu and Tsunade, and they are accompanied by several jonin."
Ao originally wanted Zabuza to tell Kaito in advance about this news, but Kaito asked about it himself first.
"Haha, it seems there is really no one left."
Kaito shook his head and laughed.
However, at this moment, Kaito noticed.
On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen was being brought here by Mei and two senior ninjas.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still dressed neatly and tidy, and except for the missing right arm, he looked no different from before.
But his whole spirit and energy were extremely low, as if he had not yet recovered from the previous defeat on the battlefield.
Kaito took some time to visit the other person a few days ago.
After all, he is the Kage of a village. Even if he becomes a prisoner, the Kirigakure Village will not treat him harshly.
Basically, they provide delicious food and drinks.
However, the old guy always looked weak and depressed, and didn't seem to care much about anything in the outside world.
Kaito wanted to talk to him about the next round of negotiations, but he remained silent.
Even when Kaito mentioned the news of Orochimaru's disappearance to him, his expression only changed slightly, but he still said nothing.
‘I really don't know how such a person got such a domineering title as the God of Shinobi?’
This is the only opinion that Kaito has about the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen now.
Seeing the other person on the road at this time, it was probably because Ao asked Mei to bring the other person here specifically for the upcoming peace talks.
However, Kaito had no intention of stepping forward to communicate.
After arriving at the commander's tent.
As soon as he opened the curtain, Kaito felt the tense atmosphere in the tent.
At this time, Tsunade supported her hands on the long table and looked at Ao angrily.
When Kaito saw this scene, he first looked up and down at Tsunade, who was leaning forward with a menacing look, without any scruples.
Then a mocking smile appeared on his face and he spoke.
"What's going on? Why do I feel like Konoha doesn't seem to be the defeated coming to seek peace? Instead, it seems like they are coming to demand revenge?"
Ao, who was being glared at by Tsunade, sat there motionless and replied with the same indifference.
"The people in Konoha seem to think that it is disrespectful for the Mizukage to not come to negotiate in person."
However, Ao had just said half of his words when Tsunade on the opposite side slammed her hand on the table with a bang.
He glared at Kaito.
"Kid! You just won a game! Do you really think Konoha is afraid of you?"
While Tsunade was roaring, Utatane Koharu beside her kept pulling at her sleeve, trying to get her not to act impulsively.
However, Tsunade, who was furious, would not pay any attention to the old man and continued to stare at Kaito.
But how could Kaito be afraid of the other person's sight?
He said with a disdainful tone.
"Since Konoha is not afraid at all, then let's just not negotiate. I think postponing it for a while is a good option for everyone."
"I just don't know if the two villages in the north will give Konoha some time?"
"Or does Konoha think that we, Kirigakure, would be afraid to fight you again?"
However, this is not the end, Kaito continued to mock with the same tone.
"As for the Third Mizukage-sama? Who among you has an equal status? And you still want the Mizukage to come and negotiate with you in person?"
"Is it you?"
Kaito casually pointed his finger at the furious Tsunade.
After that, he pointed again at Utatane Koharu who looked a little worried beside her.
"Or you?"
"Or is it the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is now a prisoner?"
When Kaito said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen just walked into the tent.
However, after hearing these sarcastic words, the other party did not react at all, and even his expression did not change, still with that bitter look on his face.
On the contrary, Tsunade was extremely angry and furious when she saw her sensei looking like he was dying and had lost his fighting spirit.
Then, as if to vent her anger, she pointed her spearhead at Kaito.
"You little brat! Don't be so arrogant!!"
After saying that, Tsunade actually raised her fist and acted as if she was about to rush forward and punch Kaito.
Everyone on the side, whether from Konohagakure or Kirigakure, looked horrified.
No one expected that Tsunade, a high-ranking official of Konohagakure, was a well-known figure in the ninja world.
She was so impulsive at this moment that she was ready to attack the other negotiator without caring about the occasion.
Utatane Koharu immediately wanted to speak up to stop her behavior.
At the same time, she feels very regretful in her heart.
Why should she follow the daimyo's advice and bring Tsunade with her to negotiate?
However, Tsunade, who had just raised her fist, had not yet begun to condense chakra to launch an attack.
Kaito, who was standing opposite her, simply raised his left hand, put his right fingers together to form a blade, and made a casual stroke across his palm.
Bright red blood oozed directly from the wound on Kaito's palm and flowed down in an instant.
Just when everyone else was still confused.
Tsunade, who was originally very aggressive.
The moment she saw the blood on Kaito's palm, she suddenly paused.
Then the whole person seemed to have seen some extremely terrifying scene.
Her eyes were filled with endless horror, she hugged her arms tightly with her hands, her whole body was trembling, she squatted down helplessly, and curled up into a ball.
Utatane Koharu, who was originally thinking about stopping Tsunade, now doesn't care about Tsunade who is curled up on the ground.
With a 'bang', Utatane Koharu knocked over the chair behind her and stood up.
Together with Sarutobi Hiruzen at the door, she looked at Kaito with horror.
“How did you know that?!”
Kaito listened to the other party's trembling question, but had no intention of explaining it.
He just said it very calmly.
"Okay, now that the irrelevant people have shut up, it seems that the peace talks can continue normally."
"Hokage-sama, please take a seat."

Haha, I suddenly came up with an idea today.
But it’s highly unlikely that it will be written this way, so it’s not considered a spoiler if I can just say it and share it with you all.
It suddenly occurred to me that after the protagonist officially became the Mizukage, he unlocked a new achievement.
Then open a new ninja village construction panel. The construction progress of the Kirigakure Village can get corresponding rewards. The rewards are various Pokémon, and then the 'Palu Era' will be opened for the Kirigakure Village.
Hahaha, I think it should be very interesting, but it doesn't match the style of the book, so I gave up~
PS: But there may be a second Pokémon, and it won't appear in the form of a summoning scroll (after all, it's the only item). I haven't decided what to show yet, or even if it will show at all.
I wanted to find a companion for Blue, but the Pokémon in the 'Water One Egg Group' didn't seem quite suitable.

Chapter 313 The Birth of the Demon Clan
A few days later.
Second half of Grand Line, New World, Island of Fear.
This island where the king of pirates, Ryomen Sukuna once stayed, I don’t know when it began to spread a layer of black fog, making it difficult to see the situation inside.
Some people went to investigate out of curiosity, but they either never returned or went crazy after escaping by chance.
The abnormal situation here made people on the surrounding islands uneasy.
There were rumors that the ghost of the King of Fear had returned.
Or maybe the King of Fear was not dead, and now he has returned to this island.
The rumors here also alarmed many major forces.
The undercurrent was originally surging due to the retreat of the main force of the marine, and the turbulent new world was stagnant.
Major forces began to send intelligence personnel to this island to investigate.
The reason why it is so solemn is also very simple.
As a leader among pirates, the life and death of the King of Fear Ryomen Sukuna undoubtedly affects the whole world.
Anyone who has experienced the Death War is very clear about this.
If the man really did not die at the hands of King, then the situation will change again.
When many forces sent personnel to investigate.
Inside the Island of Fear.
The ground is full of blood, the curved skulls can be seen everywhere, and the giant bone standing in the center.
In front of the giant ribs in the center, there are skulls piled up like a small tower.
The terrifying and gloomy scene, the air is still filled with a trembling breath.
On the skeleton throne above the small skeleton tower is sitting King of Fear Ryomen Sukuna.
This man is back here again.
At this time, In front of him.
There are seven streams of black fog boiling.
The black particles in the atmosphere are melting into these black fogs, and something is taking shape in the black fog.
Time passed slowly, and another day passed.
Ryomen Sukuna's eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes like the abyss stared at the black fog below.
The seven streams of black fog also slowly dispersed.
Revealing figures of different shapes, these inhuman races suddenly opened their terrible and cruel eyes.
A powerful evil aura burst out from them and swept up, and the clouds in the sky also shook, as if they were about to be shattered.
After opening their eyes, they looked up at the shadow on the skeleton throne looking down at them.
They all knelt on one knee towards the throne. Well, some of them with special shapes and no obvious legs also leaned on the ground.
The originally cruel and evil eyes were full of submission.
"Your Majesty the Demon God, we swear to serve you till death."
They spoke in human language.
"Everyone, leave!"
"Yes."
Without any doubt about Ryomen Sukuna's brief order, they slowly left.
As they left, Ryomen Sukuna's figure disappeared into the shadows.
He had no interest in this world for the time being.
So he would enter the observation form of negative forces to control his own more powerful power, while waiting for the arrival of the next challenger. Or, the strong man he was interested in would appear.
When Ryomen Sukuna fell into a state similar to sleeping.
Seven figures withdrew from the valley where Ryomen Sukuna was.
The originally restrained look began to relax, and they looked at each other and their companions next to them.
They began to introduce themselves.
A figure wearing a space suit and a glass cover on his head spoke first.
Or he had no mouth, and the glass cover on his head was not a head, but filled with unknown transparent liquid.
There is a huge brain in the liquid, just like a human brain.
And there is a red tumor on the brain that looks like a crown. It seems that the glass cover outside is his face.
His appearance, which looks like a brain in a jar, completely challenges human aesthetics.
"Everyone, I am the evil of the Celestial Dragons. I was born from the negative forces such as human fear, hatred and malice towards the Celestial Dragons. You can call me Celestial Dragon."
"My ability is to dominate, dominate everything. The most important thing is that I have the knowledge given by His Majesty. With my ability, I can create low-level and medium-level demons. Even if they are worse than us, I can create them if I was given time."
"So, I hope to be the leader of this group."
At this time, Celestial Dragon introduced himself to several companions around him in a way similar to mental conduction.
Being the leader of this group is not only because of his desire to dominate, but also because a group with a leader can act more efficiently.
"If your ability can create a tribe of your own, then it is indeed very important, but only the strongest can be the leader. If you can't fight, then you can just be the auxiliary logistics in the back."
When Celestial Dragon just finished speaking.
A figure like a fluid also spoke.
This one looks a bit abstract, like a human, but it is flowing, and the skin and clothes on his body are waxing.
It seems to be a liquid that imitates the figure of humans or Ryomen Sukuna.
To be honest, it is like a slime man.
Although it looks a bit unreliable, his aura is extremely huge.
Because he represents the dark side of the sea.
Seeing his companions around him looking at him, he also introduced himself.
"Just call me the Deep Sea King, it's simple and clear. I am a being born from the fear of the sea by humans, and my ability is to rule the sea."
"My aura is the strongest among everyone. I will be the leader. Whoever agrees or disagrees."
The Deep Sea King said it more concisely and domineeringly, and wanted to declare his position right away.
"I object. What's the use of having a strong aura? The most important thing is to be able to fight."
After the Deep Sea King finished speaking, a fish immediately refuted him.
That's right, a creature that looks and is the same size as an ordinary whale is floating in the air.
This whale looks ordinary, but it represents people's fear of the sea king.
Now it looks only the size of an ordinary whale, but it can expand directly into a behemoth.
As a being condensed by the fear of the sea king, it has no reason to be afraid of the ability to control the sea.
When the other party uses the sea, it is like going home. Even tsunamis, sea currents, sea tornadoes, etc. may have little effect on it.
"Don't quarrel, isn't it the most important thing to give our race a name first?"
A gray stone man with regular cracks on his body, symbolizing earthquakes, said so.
They all fell silent.
"We call His Majesty the Demon God. His Majesty has no objection. Then, as His Majesty's creation, how about we call ourselves the Demon Clan." Celestial Dragon spoke in silence.
Everyone nodded as soon as he said it, thinking that this name was very good.
Seeing everyone nodding, Celestial Dragon struck while the iron was hot again.
"And we, as the Demon Clan created by His Majesty himself, will be called the Seven Apostles of the Demon God, the seven apostles who will manage the world on behalf of His Majesty, and be distinguished from the Demon Clan in the future."
After listening to the words of the Celestial Dragon, the apostles nodded one after another.
They looked at Celestial Dragon's huge brain like a water tank, and they all admired Celestial Dragon's brain for not growing in vain.
"As for the leader, let's put it aside for the time being! Next, we will first understand the complete information of this world, and then determine the position of the leader based on the contribution. After all, even if the combat power is strong, if it has no contribution to the Demon Clan or even His Majesty, then it is meaningless."
As Celestial Dragon finished speaking, this episode also came to an end.
The seven demon apostles who will be famous in the world in the future were also born here.
They are about to show their edge to the world.

Chapter 312 They are anxious
Regarding the matter of traveling through time and space through the dragon vein, Kaito only has such a plan temporarily.
The art of sealing is itself a very complex subject.
Even with Kaito's current status in the Kirigakure Village, he could hand over part of the research work to the Sealing Squad and only learn the final results.
It also takes a lot of time.
After all, the only sealing technique that Kaito actually masters at the moment is 'Sketch’.
Although "Sketch" itself is a very advanced sealing technique, the accompanying system knowledge is basically related to this technique itself.
The lack of basic sealing knowledge is the biggest obstacle for Kaito to break the dragon vein seal.
Moreover, in order to travel through time and space through the dragon vein and then return, the dragon vein needs to be sealed again.
Kaito didn't want to have to bring a group of ninjas from the Sealing Squad with him when he chose to travel through time and space in the future.
The fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better.
At present, the most important task for Kaito, or the most important thing for the entire Kirigakure Village, is the upcoming negotiations with Konohagakure.
The supplies requested from Konoha's eastern camp were delivered by the other side the day after Konohagakure was defeated.
Kaito guessed they are also afraid that the Kirigakure Village will really let nearly a thousand people starve.
Konoha didn't even bargain and just emptied the entire camp.
But at the same time, the ninja who went to communicate with Konoha camp also told Kaito a piece of news.
Orochimaru was not in the Konoha camp.
The other party even believed that Orochimaru was captured by the Kirigakure together with the Third Hokage.
It is precisely because the eastern camp of Konoha is now in a state of disarray that they are so happy to ask for supplies.
The 'frozen snake' that Blue brought back before has been confirmed to be just a snake skin shell filled with some flesh and blood.
Even judging from Kaito's medical ninjutsu, the filling is the flesh and blood of some kind of snake.
The overall shape is just roughly human.
Therefore, Kaito once thought that Orochimaru had fled back to the camp to take charge of the situation. He also prepared a set of tactics to deal with Orochimaru for the ninja team that went to communicate.
As a result, he was told that Orochimaru also did not return to the camp.
"Is Orochimaru going to defect like this?"
Of course, at this point in time, whether Orochimaru defected or not no longer had much impact on Kaito or even the entire Kirigakure Village.
But Kaito still thought with some malice.
Over the next few days, the entire Kirigakure front camp was in a fairly peaceful state.
First, Harusame and Kushimaru set off for the return trip with a group of more than 3,000 ninjas to take over the defense of the village.
As for Kaito and Ao, the most important people in the subsequent negotiations, they stayed at the front line with about two thousand Kirigakure ninjas.
In recent days, Kaito has been frequently communicating with the Elder Genji who is still in the village to discuss the focus of the next negotiations.
Most of the rest of the work was left to Ao.
He focused his main energy on the research and development of sealing techniques and shadow techniques.
Even if he occasionally needs to rest, he is still guiding Kabuto's practice.
Of course, although Zabuza and Mei were somewhat reluctant to study with the same little brat, they were occasionally forced by Ao to come and attend classes.
With Kaito's current strength, and having experienced so many times of indoctrination of systematic ninjutsu knowledge.
Even for some more basic knowledge, people often have very unique understandings.
Several of them studied diligently every day and lived a very comfortable life.
However, compared to the calmness on the Kirigakure front.
As time went on, the entire ninja world was in an uproar.
Originally, Kaito was already well-known in the ninja world.
He became a jonin at a young age, and led the Kirigakure Flying Unit to fight. He was very successful on the battlefield and was given the nickname "Gale Wing".
But no matter in the eyes of which force, he is at most just a relatively talented young man.
Previously, Konoha had promoted Hatake Kakashi, who became a jonin at the age of twelve, to compare him with Kaito.
They want to prove that Konoha ninjas are no worse than others.
But what is happening now?
A genius boy who is not even thirteen years old has defeated Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is known as the "Strongest Hokage", and Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, head-on on the battlefield.
Moreover, they were defeated together when the two of them joined forces.
(Mitokado Homura, a fake Kage, was not even worthy of being mentioned in this battle.)
You know, not long ago, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was fighting the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki in the northern front of Konohagakure.
Now that Kaito was able to defeat Sarutobi Hiruzen, did it also prove that his strength was better than that of Ōnoki?
After receiving this piece of information, countless ninja villages, big and small, were in disbelief and repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the information.
Until later, the news that Kaito defeated the famous AB combination in the Land of Lightning also came out.
Everyone opened their mouths wide and accepted the fact in horror.
But what followed was that many ninja villages began to re-examine Kirigakure, a village that seemed to be at the bottom of the five great ninja villages except for its bloody reputation.
You know, a small country like the Land of Rain is qualified to negotiate with the five great ninja villages simply because of the appearance of a 'demigod' Hanzo.
And now, the Kirigakure Village, one of the five great ninja villages, has produced such a young and powerful man.
Will there be another 'demigod' next? Or even a new 'Ninja God'?
However, what is the 'Future Ninja God' who caused a huge sensation in the ninja world doing at this time?
"The greatest characteristic of water attribute chakra is flow. Whether it is the cutting and impact caused by high-speed flow, or the entanglement and siege caused by slow flow, its essence is to increase the flow attribute in the change of form."
After a whole morning of research, Kaito felt a little tired, so he simply began to explain to Kabuto the application of water-attribute ninjutsu to change his mind.
According to Kaito's previous tests, this little guy Kabuto was born with the three chakra properties of "water, earth, and yang".
It can be said that his talent is amazing.
Therefore, while Kaito teaches him medical ninjutsu on a daily basis, he also teaches him some application of water-style ninjutsu to increase his combat effectiveness.
Just then, Zabuza's voice was heard outside the tent.
"Kaito, are you in there?"
"Yes, come in."
Seeing Zabuza coming, Kaito directly invited him into the tent.
In recent times, because of the defection of Karatachi Yagura, Zabuza has actually been in a bad mood.
In order to take Zabuza's feelings into consideration, Ao basically did not assign him any work and often sent him to Kaito.
Sitting in was one thing, but more importantly, he wanted him to have more communication and get over his loss.
So compared to Mei, Zabuza came to Kaito more times.
When Kabuto saw Zabuza coming in, he was very sensible and moved aside to make room for the other person.
However, Zabuza did not sit down directly. He first looked at the sensible kid with some embarrassment, then turned to Kaito and said.
"Konoha's negotiation team is here. Ao-sensei asked me to come and call you."
Kaito was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he laughed out loud.
"They are really anxious."

Chapter 311 The Original Plan
‘What to do?’
Everyone has been sitting here for more than half an hour.
However, no one could come up with a solution that at least seemed effective.
"Right now, only Mirukawa-sama's summoning beast has the ability to identify this kind of monster, but..."
Yuki Hiro didn't say what the "but" was, but everyone knew it.
Relying solely on Blue to investigate is simply a drop in the bucket.
Maybe the ninjas who had just been checked were replaced by monsters as soon as they went out.
“Is it possible to learn this ability?”
Kushimaru looked directly at Kaito and asked.
However, Ao on the side gave the answer on behalf of Kaito.
"It's useless. If this almost instinctive ability could be imitated so easily, there wouldn't be so few perception ninjas."
As Ao was an excellent perception ninja before he obtained the Byakugan knew too well how rare the gift of perception is.
What's more, it is the almost metaphysical perception ability of "malice perception".
"What about the sealing squad? Can they set up a special sealing barrier to deal with this ability? What's important now is not the front-line camp, but the protection of the village."
As the head of the Anbu, this kind of intelligence investigation and counter-investigation work originally fell within the scope of Kushimaru's job.
However, faced with this somewhat unsolvable white monster, the only thing he could think of at this moment was to resort to the sealing technique which was considered omnipotent in the Naruto world.
"Perhaps, but the village's defense formation cannot be improved in a short period of time."
Ao rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
Ao was also present when the White Zetsu, one of the Konoha prisoners, was captured.
At that time, his eyes were wide open so much that his veins were about to break, but he didn't notice anything abnormal about the other person.
After all, White Zetsu's 'Disguise Technique' can perfectly imitate the chakra of the pretender.
Most of the ninja's means of perception, including the Byakugan, are to identify the enemy through chakra.
After that, several plans were proposed in succession, but they were all rejected by the crowd.
In the end, it was Kisame, who had just become the deputy director of the Anbu and had never spoken a word, who interrupted everyone's meaningless discussion.
"Since there is no other way, let it go."
"With Blue-san's perception ability, at least regular inspections can ensure that the upper levels of the village are not infiltrated."
"As for the others. As long as they don't cause too much harm, we'll just have to give up."
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and could only helplessly accept this result temporarily.
Even Kaito himself couldn't do anything about it.
At least at this stage, without the chakra provided by the tailed beasts, Uchiha Obito would not be able to produce White Zetsu continuously.
Most of the time, White Zetsus are also responsible for helping him gather intelligence on the entire ninja world.
Although the Kirigakure Village may receive more attention as a thorn in Obito's side, he should not always send White Zetsu to carry out assassinations like he did yesterday.
Yes, Kaito has already determined that the person behind the scenes who controls these White Zetsu has changed from Uchiha Madara to Uchiha Obito.
After all, considering Kaito's pride in Uchiha Madara that he learned about in the original story in his previous life, it is impossible for him to choose to let White Zetsu assassinate himself when he is weak.
On the contrary, Uchiha Obito, who is not yet mature, is likely to take such an unwise action for revenge.
'Without the tailed beast chakra as a supplement, the number of White Zetsu should be limited, but.'
‘I don't think so. With Obito's personality, he wouldn't do that even if he had to forcibly plunder a tailed beast.’
Kaito thought of a not-so-good possibility in his mind, but he immediately rejected it.
Now that Blue is around, the threat posed by the White Zetsu incident isn't too great for the time being.
The Kirigakure side didn't have any better solution, so Kaito had to put the matter aside for the time being.
However, he plans to look through his lottery list again to see if there are any abilities that can better target White Zetsu.
Kaito's current strength is sufficient in today's ninja world, and he can draw prizes purposefully and specifically for a long time to come.
But looking at his pitiful few hundred gold coins, Kaito began to have a headache again.
After all, this is a lottery system, not a redemption system.
In case of bad luck, even if there is an ability to deal with White Zetsu in a certain prize pool, if he can't draw it, Kaito will have no choice.
He can only spend a lot of time accumulating gold coins and gamble on his luck.
In addition, there has not been enough time to develop the 'Shadow Imitation Technique'.
The ghost-type prize pool has not been officially opened until now, and the ability of "Shadow Stepping" that can effectively target Uchiha Obito can only be retained, occupying the "Temporary" slot.
Otherwise, the two White Zetsu corpses in front of him might be able to help him open the 'Grass-type Prize pool'.
‘Forget it. There won't be too many opportunities to obtain White Zetsu's corpse in the future. There's no rush for the Grass-type ability for now.’
'I wonder if Konoha will agree to give me a copy of the Nara clan's secret technique when negotiating with them?'
Because he didn't want to waste his time, Kaito even started to think about the negotiations with Konohagakure.
However, as the foundation of the Nara clan's foothold in the ninja world, it is probably not so easy for Kaito to get it.
"There's still not enough time!"
Kaito sighed helplessly.
Unexpectedly, because he came to the ninja world at an awkward time, he was forced to move forward by various crises.
Even though his strength is sufficient now, he still feels that time is not enough.
‘It seems that I still need to learn more about the sealing technique and restart the previous plan!’
Before, he was worried that he was not strong enough to face Uchiha Madara and Obito, the two masterminds behind the incident.
Kaito had traveled around the Ninja World before and wanted to make more preparations in advance.
The most important one is to prepare to go to the ancient kingdom of Roran and travel through time and space with the help of dragon veins.
Kairo remembers it clearly.
In the original story, Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato traveled through time and space through the dragon veins and stayed in the past for a considerable period of time. The villain Anrokuzan in the play stayed in the past for several years.
But when the two successfully completed the time travel and returned to the original timeline, only a moment had passed.
Even in the movie, Sakura Haruno stretched out her hand and screamed when she saw Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato being swallowed by the dragon vein.
After the two returned, the scream had not yet finished.
When he first watched this movie, he was still laughing, and Sakura Haruno was screaming because she was grieving that she didn't have many roles in the whole movie, so he had a very deep impression on her.
And if Kaito himself can successfully travel through time and space, even if he just trains normally for a year or two and accumulates gold coins on a daily basis, his strength will be greatly improved.
When the time comes, he will undoubtedly be more confident in coming back to deal with Uchiha Madara at the original time point.
It’s just that Kaito found the dragon vein in the ancient kingdom of Raron.
But when he arrived, the dragon vein had already been sealed by Minato Namikaze.
The opponent's iconic Flying Thunder God Kunai was also stuck on it.
With Kaito's sealing level, let alone successfully unlocking the opponent's seal, he couldn't even destroy it by force.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, Kaito later drew the 'Turboblaze (Flame White)' and successfully extracted the 'Shadow Stepping ability', and his strength increased rapidly.
Uchiha Madara that he had been worried about did not show up, and he finally successfully survived the crisis and no longer worried about the dragon vein.
However, now, Kaito, who once again felt that time was running out, once again thought of the previous plan.

Chapter 312 Noble Phantasm: Twelve Holy Knights
A few days later.
Calm belt, Rusukaina Island.
The lush green forests are connected together, embracing a tranquil green lake.
The cool breeze blowing, the swaying green leaves, the mottled light spots blinking, like a mysterious eye.
It's still the same place.
Kai and a girl in a knight's outfit, with golden hair tied with a blue ribbon, strolled by the peaceful lake.
The dazzling girl next to him was the newly created companion, Artoria Pendragon.
"Artoria, you can go to the sea next. There are many interesting things in this world."
Kai was the first to break the quiet atmosphere during the walk.
"Yes, Master."
After hearing what Kai said, Artoria responded briefly, but she was a little depressed.
"Cheer up, it's not like you won't come back."
"Yes."
Kai stopped, turned sideways and stared at the girl in front of him, and stretched out his hands.
His slender fingers gently stroked Artoria's cheek.
When she blushed a little, he opened his bow left and right, ravaging her soft and white cheek.
"Wuwuwu..."
The girl, who had originally looked serious, suddenly broke down, and wanted to say something incoherently.
After a while.
Kai finally let go of his hand with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
"Master, it's a bit too much, the flesh on my face feels like it's going to fall off."
The girl stretched out her hand and rubbed her cheek, which was a little painful, and stared at her master fiercely.
However, the girl's eyes, combined with her rubbing her face like a hamster, really did not have a deterrent effect.
"Hahaha, sorry, I can't help itching to eat when I see you being so serious."
"I'm the master's knight, and being serious is normal."
"Knights are also human beings, but I prefer the way you look when you eat."
Hearing what Kai said, Artoria's cheeks, which were originally rubbed red, became even redder.
Half of it was shyness, and the other half was anxiety.
She didn't want to eat so much, but what could she do when she was hungry, and the food made by the master was so delicious, of course she had to eat more.
Although she ate fast, she was very elegant when she ate.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Just go outside and do what you want to do. Don't have any psychological burden."
"Okay."
"You can be a king if you want to."
"Okay, that's not right..."
Hearing Kai's words, Artoria instinctively agreed and nodded, and then reacted the next second.
What the hell is being a king?
This time she went out just to experience it. As his knight, how could she possibly go to be a king!
"I am the master's eternal knight, how could I possibly run away to be a king."
At this time, Artoria said it directly.
"Don't worry! You will know when the time comes."
"As my knight, I am also your backer. We have plenty of time, so..."
"Just do what you want to do."
"Oh!"
Artoria nodded a little confused.
Anyway, she should do whatever the master says. As a knight, she should not use her brain too much.
Looking at Artoria's confused look, Kai also felt a little funny.
He stretched out his hand.
As the space fluctuated, a disk with a diameter of tens of centimeters and a golden structure suddenly appeared.
It was suspended vertically in the air, emitting a faint golden light, like a halo.
Near the edge of the disk, there were twelve holes evenly distributed, and there were also golden light balls suspended in the holes.
The twelve holes drove the light ball to rotate slowly, and the whole object looked very sacred.
"What is this?"
Looking at this dazzling thing appearing in front of her, Artoria asked with some doubt.
"This is a gift for you!"
"Gift!"
Hearing Kai's words, Artoria murmured.
Then a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"Is this a treasure? It looks so beautiful."
"You can call it a treasure, the Twelve Holy Knights, this is its name.”
Kai waved his hand, and the disc flew to the back of Artoria and stayed there, like the halo behind a god or Buddha.
It looked very impressive with Artoria's appearance.
"This is a good combination. My knight looks like a goddess. So beautiful."
"What are you talking about? What is the function of this treasure?"
Kai's praise made the redness on Artoria's face, which had disappeared, reappear, and then she changed the subject in a panic.
"Reach out your hand and touch it."
Seeing Artoria shy, Kai smiled and said nothing else, but asked her to touch the treasure.
Artoria also obediently put her hand on the disc that floated in front of them again.
Well, the touch is similar to that of metal products, but it contains a power that shocked Artoria.
Whoosh!
When Artoria touched it, the light balls in the holes on the disc burst out and flew to the distant sky, and then disappeared.
Seeing the twelve holes that were originally dazzling and glaring become bare, Artoria was stunned, and turned her neck mechanically to look at Kai.
Did she get into trouble?
Artoria looked cautious.
Kai couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, isn't it unexpected? Isn't it a surprise?"
"You teased me!"
Looking at Kai's expression, Artoria knew that she was teased. She was about to leave but he still bullied her.
She was so angry that she threw herself on Kai and stretched out her little mouth to bite Kai's neck.
Kai just smiled slightly when Artoria came over to bite people like a rabbit.
Then he put his hands around her back and hugged her soft body.
"Hey, Artoria, what are you doing to your master!"
His voice lingered in Artoria's ears.
Artoria then realized what she was doing.
Is biting the master's neck like this considered a kiss? Artoria's head was a little smoky.
Then she felt a little dry in her mouth and couldn't help licking it.
Well, she didn't let go of her mouth, and licked Kai's neck directly, feeling like tasting sweet food.
At this time, Artoria came to her senses and realized that she was still confused. She quickly let go of her mouth and shyly tried to push Kai away.
But Kai didn't let go.
He looked directly into Artoria's green eyes that were a little evasive.
"Artoria, you can't run away after doing something like this."
"I, I didn't mean it."
"You can't just shirk responsibility after committing a crime. Your knight's virtue is crying."
Looking at Kai's face getting closer and closer, Artoria's voice trembled a little.
"What do you want?"
"It's not too much to reciprocate!"
"Hmm..."
Before Artoria could say anything else, there was no other sound by the quiet lake, only two figures hugging each other were reflected on the lake surface.
Time passed slowly.
After a long time, Kau let go.
But Artoria couldn't stand at all at this time and had to be supported by him first.
After a little while.
Artoria finally calmed down, but her eyes were dodging and staring at the ground, as if there was a treasure on the ground.
"Artoria, let me introduce this treasure to you next!"
Attracting Artoria's attention, Kai shouted to the treasure still floating in the air.
"Little Jin, come out!"
"Wow! The master finally remembered me."
A playful and cute girl's voice came out.
As Artoria's pupils shrank slightly, a golden elf jumped out directly from the disc.
It was more than ten centimeters in size, with golden wings like cicada wings, a golden long dress, blonde hair, and a beautiful face.
From the outside, she looked noble and beautiful, but her temperament was destroyed as soon as she opened her mouth.
"I have been waiting inside, but the master has only called me now. I am weak and helpless and so pitiful. It is really too much..."
"Okay, okay! I will play with you more when you come back. Now I have something to do."
Looking at the little spirit who was chattering beside him.
Kai said to her like coaxing a child.
"Is it a deal?"
"It's a deal."
"Hello, my new master, I will assist you in the future. My name is Jin, and I am the spirit of this treasure. As the new master designated by the master, I allow you to call me Little Jin."
Faced with Little Jin's self-introduction, Artoria's focus at this time was not here.
"You, did you see the situation outside just now?"
"Yes, I saw it very clearly."
The air was silent, and Artoria felt very dead.
After a while of chaos, they finally got to the point.
Both parties introduced themselves.
Then Kau took them to dinner.
Time passed slowly.
It was afternoon.
Under Artoria's reluctant gaze, she was teleported away by Kai.
That's right, teleportation.
By now, Kai has developed the ability to teleport, which is part of the power of the nen system.
It can teleport people to a long distance.
However, in addition to the high consumption, it is also necessary to make a sensor and put it at the location to be teleported, similar to the coordinates, otherwise it cannot be teleported if it cannot be sensed.
However, this is what ordinary people do.
But it is not necessary for Kai.
Because his current senses can reach the surface of the entire planet.
Teleporting on the surface of this planet is no problem for him.
As for the high consumption, it is also relative, and it is naturally a drop in the bucket for him.
Looking at the place where Artoria left.
Kai turned his head.
The gears of fate are turning.
The twelve holy knights of the Noble Phantasm will help Artoria become the king.
Those light balls that leap out will choose the right people under the guidance of the power called luck.
These people will gain the seeds of power and then follow Artoria to change the world.
This overly turbulent and chaotic sea needs some stabilization.
Otherwise, too much chaos and too fast population loss will not be a good thing for Kai.
Moreover, Ryomen Sukuna will wake up soon.
At that time, the creations he will create will also set off a new round of impact on this world!

Chapter 310 What to do?
The commotion caused by Blue’s previous attack was not small.
Moreover, the command tent is the focus of defense in the front-line camp.
Even though there were crowds of people everywhere celebrating their victory, the area was still relatively quiet.
Naturally, many patrolling ninjas rushed over as soon as they discovered the situation.
However, they were still stopped outside the tent by Mei in the name of Kaito.
Ao, who was hurriedly brought here by Zabuza, pushed away the ninjas surrounding outside and rushed into the tent with an anxious look on his face.
But what they saw was...
Kaito was squatting on the ground with a casual look on his face, using the short blade in his hand to dig back and forth at the corpse of a pale monster.
"Kaito, what's going on here?"
Although it was confirmed that Kaito seemed to be fine, Ao still came over with a worried look on his face.
He said as he looked at the monster on the ground whose body had been partially dismembered by Kaito.
"Is it the same monster who disguised himself as an Anbu and controlled the Third Mizukage-sama last time?"
However, Kaito did not answer Ao's question immediately.
Instead, he looked up at Blue beside him, and when he saw the little guy nodded, he stopped what he was doing and replied.
"Yes, I suspected before that there must be more than one monster disguised as a someone in the village, and now it is proven true."
"Ao-sensei, you didn't send a medical ninja to check me out, did you?"
"No!"
After getting Ao's affirmative answer, Kaito nodded in understanding.
Just now, before Ao came.
Kaito has confirmed with Blue that the little guy seems to be able to see through White Zetsu's disguise.
There was a White Zetsu appearing in the camp, even beside him. Whether he wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate him or had some other purpose, Kaito didn't find it strange.
On the contrary, Kaito was even more surprised that Blue could see through this perfect disguise at a glance.
According to what the little guy said, it seems that he can "smell" the scent of this kind of bad guy.
But from Kaito's own understanding.
Blue's ability is more like the Pokémon's own almost instinctive ability to distinguish between "good and evil".
Thinking about it, it seems to be true, except for the time when he first met ‘Iwara Ashito’ with Blue in the Ninja School.
And Blue was present during the final battle with the Third Mizukage and Yagura.
Whether in the Anbu or in the 'Zero Eight-Tails' mission, he never appeared with Blue in front of the person disguised as White Zetsu.
However, he never realized that the little guy had such a strong ability to distinguish.
Although Blue's ability, let's call it 'malice perception', does not have a very large range.
And because it is more instinctive, there is no way to teach or promote it to others.
But for Kaito, who currently doesn't even have the ability to distinguish White Zetsu, it is still a timely shot in the arm.
At least he won't have to worry about someone around him being suddenly replaced by White Zetsu without him realizing it.
"Since Blue has this ability, can we let him screen all the people in the camp first?"
Ao knew that it was the white monster discovered by Blue, and immediately made a suggestion.
When Ao thought that there might be a monster lurking around him in disguise that even the Byakugan couldn't see through, he felt a chill in his heart.
"Yes, that's what I think too."
Kaito nodded in agreement, then added,
"But we still need to make some arrangements. There are quite a few ninjas in the camp right now, and I also hope to hide the fact that it was Blue who identified the enemy as much as possible."
In Kaito's impression, there seems to be a means of transmitting messages between White Zetsu's clone and the original body, similar to telepathy.
However, it is still unclear whether these White Zetsu are all clones of the same White Zetsu or whether each one is an independent individual.
However, seeing that the corpse under his feet was still intact and had not turned into a pool of mud, Kaito was more inclined to the latter judgment.
It would be great if they could disguise themselves a little to confuse the enemy.
When it comes to catching spies, it's better to do it sooner rather than later.
After briefly discussing the next course of action with Ao, Kaito no longer stared at the White Zetsu corpse on the ground and stopped continuing to study it.
Although with Kaito's current medical technology, a lot of information can be gained from studying this White Zetsu.
But wouldn't it be better if he could catch a few more and study them?
Kaito simply sealed the body into the seal scroll and took Blue and Ao to investigate the camp.
This investigation was not conducted with much fanfare.
It just so happened that a part of the team had to be reorganized to return to the Kirigakure Village, and the few of them simply investigated the ninjas in the camp in batches as part of the routine post-war reorganization.
The search lasted a full day.
However, the results of the investigation made the senior officials on the front line who knew about the matter look quite unhappy.
The good news is that no second White Zetsu was found lurking among the Kirigakure forces.
But the bad news is that several Kirigakure ninjas and logistics personnel have disappeared inexplicably.
Moreover, it was clear that several people had contact with others after the war, but they disappeared before everyone could investigate them.
It's the kind where neither the person is seen alive nor the body is found dead.
In all likelihood, it was White Zetsu who was hiding in the dark, and upon noticing the search by Kaito and others, he simply chose to give up his identity and escape.
However, there was something even funnier that made Kaito and others smile bitterly.
After the internal investigation of the Kirigakure Force is completed.
Out of caution, Kaito took Blue to the area where the Konoha prisoners were held.
As a result, they actually found a White Zetsu among the Konoha troops who was still confused and thought he was hiding well.
Even when Kaito came to him, this guy pretended to be in a state of dismay and sighed with another Konoha ninja, and didn't even think of running away.
In the end, he was naturally beheaded by Blue with a single blow.
After all, it is simply unrealistic to extract information from a monster like White Zetsu.
At first, the nearby Konoha ninjas even thought that the Kirigakure could no longer bear the bloodthirsty killing in their hearts and were preparing to attack all the captives.
It also caused quite a commotion.
It was not until they were suppressed again by the guard troops that they discovered it.
The person they thought was their companion turned out to be a white monster in disguise, and most people were stunned on the spot.
What followed was a depressed atmosphere among all the Konoha captives that lasted for several days.
Even the Kirigakure ninjas who were guarding them said that there were obviously fewer troublemakers in the past few days.
Of course, this is all later.
At this time, in the command tent, a few senior frontline officials who had been informed of the truth gathered here.
They looked solemnly at the two white corpses placed in the middle of the tent.
Although only two were caught in the end.
But the few missing persons are enough to prove that there are more "cockroaches" hiding in the dark.
And who can guarantee that after one investigation, no new people will be replaced?
‘What to do?’
This sentence weighed on everyone's heart at this moment.

Chapter 309: Can't help it?
Ao thought this was not a bad idea.
It is impossible to return these Konoha ninjas to Konohagakure, at least not before the formal negotiations begin.
Of course, killing them all would be even more undesirable. These are all important bargaining chips for the next negotiation.
Anyway, since the casualties on the Kirigakure side were relatively small this time, the medical supplies on the front line are still sufficient, but there is a shortage of supplements such as food. Waiting for the Konoha camp to deliver them is not a bad idea.
Moreover, given the ninja's physique, they won't die from skipping a meal or two, and it can also give the guards some relief.
Why not?
Ao immediately sent someone to deliver the message to the Konohagakure camp.
Moreover, when he was giving the instructions, his words clearly hinted at the other party to try to empty the Konohagakure camp.
Anyway, the fighting ninjas on the Konohagakure front line were either killed or captured.
There is no point in leaving so many supplies in the camp.
Even this tiny condition cannot be taken into account in subsequent negotiations.
Then Ao asked again.
"What about the follow-up negotiations? Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Shimura Danzo are all in our hands now. We can't let them negotiate with us as prisoners, right?"
Before the war, even Kirigakure itself did not expect this result. Three of Konoha's F4 were captured. These people were already the highest decision-makers of Konoha.
The subsequent negotiations were somewhat awkward.
Of course, the more embarrassed side is definitely Konohagakure.
So Kaito just said it indifferently.
"Isn't there another elder in Konoha, Utatane Koharu? Let her come over when the time comes, and then have Sarutobi Hiruzen come out as well."
"We can just set the negotiation location on the Land of Whirlpool. Konoha is definitely more anxious than us, and they will accept it."
The two most important topics were decided so easily.
After that, the follow-up arrangements of each unit and the number of people who needed to return to the village were confirmed, and the meeting ended quickly.
After all, they had just experienced a great war, and these senior ninjas needed to have a good rest.
Finally, after everyone left, Ao looked at Kaito, who still looked lazy, and asked with some concern.
"Kaito, do you want to go to the medical team to check on the situation?"
Now Kaito is the most important treasure of Kirigakure, and Ao is also worried that something might happen to him.
Even if there were any minor sequelae, it would be unacceptable to the Kirigakure Village.
Although Ao meant well, Kaito knew the condition of his own body very well, and this kind of mental loss could only be restored by rest.
It would be more realistic to get more sleep than to go to the medical department and take up resources.
"It's okay, Ao-sensei. I'm a medical ninja myself, and I know my situation well."
"I can almost recover after a good sleep here."
After hearing this, Ao stopped trying to persuade him, thinking that the command tent was right in the center of the camp, and now that Kirigakure had defeated Konohagakure, there would be no danger here anyway.
He simply left the tent and left Kaito to rest here alone.
Kaito naturally wouldn't be polite either.
Ao often worked in the command tent until very late, and there were camp beds available here. Kaito simply pulled out the bed and slept in his clothes.
Seeing this, Blue, who was standing by, did not disturb his master's rest. He sat cross-legged and played with the scrolls and brushes on the table.
As time passed, Kaito, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a sound coming from outside the tent.
"Mirukawa-sama, I was called by Ao-sama to help you check your body."
"Kaito is resting inside, please speak in a low voice."
Listening to the sounds outside, Kaito woke up in a daze.
The latter voice was very familiar; it was Mei.
She and Zabuza's main job now is Ao's bodyguard, so it's not surprising that they are guarding outside the command tent.
Hearing her reminding the visitor to keep his voice down, Kaito also showed a smile on his face.
"When this guy isn't being so arrogant, he's actually quite caring."
As for the voice of the previous person, it sounded familiar. He had the impression that he was an ordinary doctor from the medical squad who was quite good.
However, Kaito didn't expect that even though he had told Ao that it was okay, the other party still sent a doctor over.
But after all, it was his sensei's good intention, so Kaito did not directly refuse.
"Come in, I'm awake."
When they heard Kaito's voice outside the tent, they stopped talking.
"Okay, then you go in." The voice of Mei came from outside the tent.
A gentle doctor with brown hair and glasses came in, holding a medical box and pushing open the curtain.
Mei just glanced inside through the opened curtain and did not follow in.
After the Doctor came in, he spoke to Kaito with a gentle smile on his face.
"Mirukawa-sama, Ao-sama asked me to come here."
"Okay, I just heard what was said outside."
Seeing that the other party seemed a little restrained, Kaito simply interrupted the other party and said with a smile.
"Don't be so polite. As far as I remember, your name is Hayami Sho, right? I treated you before."
However, before Kaito could finish his words, Blue's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Oh!! (╬ ̄子 ̄) Quack!"
As the voice fell, Blue, who was originally sitting in Ao's position and playing with a brush, suddenly exerted force.
With a "bang", he hit the table in front of him.
The whole frog seemed to teleport and instantly appeared above the head of the man named Hayami Sho.
Then, Blue's body tensed in the air, and a crystal water ball as big as a basketball condensed in his hand, which smashed down with a bang.
"Boom--"
Water splashed and the powerful force knocked the person heavily to the ground.
The ground suddenly sank a section, and then spread outward like an air wave.
It was not until this time that the afterimage of Blue at the original position slowly dissipated.
Even Kaito, who was still a little dazed lying on the bed, didn't react to what happened before Blue blasted him into the ground.
"What happened!?"
Mei and Zabuza, who had been standing outside the tent on guard, rushed in immediately after hearing the noise.
However, when they saw the Hayami Sho being smashed into the ground by Blue, they were slightly stunned.
Of course, Mei and Zabuza knew this guy, otherwise they wouldn't have let him into the tent.
However, the two of them immediately took out their kunai and took a defensive stance.
"Kaito, what happened?"
Zabuza was the first to ask a question.
However, Kaito had already realized the current situation and immediately turned over and got up from the bed, speaking quickly.
"Mei, you guard the door and don't allow anyone to approach. I will explain if there is any problem later. Zabuza, go find Ao-sensei."
The two looked at each other after hearing this, and without any hesitation, they immediately rushed out of the tent.
After getting up, Kaito pulled out the Shinsō that was placed beside the bed.
Looking at the 'Hayami Sho' in front of him, which was hit by Blue's 'Water Pulse', it struggled for a moment and then began to gradually fade and lose its vitality, a strange look appeared on his face.
"You can't help it?"
-------------------------
Hehe, do you guys still remember Blue Diary?
I said that at that time.
July 30
Today, Blue and Kaito teamed up to defeat a bad guy.
The bad guy stabbed Kaito's arm and kicked him.
Quack, I remembered his smell!
May 10
Today's mission is here, Blue met an old man selling meatballs.
Grandpa Meatball said that eating the meatballs he sells can make you stronger.
But Blue smelled a bad guy on him!

Chapter 311 Each Avatar gains
The next day.
Amazon Lily, in a room in the palace.
Kai got up from the bed and gently pulled Esdeath away from him who was still talking in his sleep.
After getting dressed, he came out of the room.
Looking at the clear clouds in the distant sky.
He walked in one direction step by step, and every step seemed to be teleported.
The surrounding birdsong and flowers flew behind him.
After the war on Death Island ended.
Esdeath left the returning marine fleet and hurriedly followed Unohana Retsu, sitting on her Zanpakuto Minazuki and sailing back.
She came back very early yesterday.
As soon as she came back, she couldn't wait to find Kai for a date and now she won't go out again in a short time.
Although the marines also gave her a two-week vacation, to be honest, Esdeath didn't take this vacation seriously. When she wanted to go back, it would all depend on her mood.
Fortunately, her fleet had Doll, an adjutant promoted by Esdeath who had good work ability, to help watch over it.
There won't be any big problems for the time being.
This time, Esdeath's harvest on Death Island was not bad, or it could be said that the harvest of each Avatar was not bad.
Among them, the one who gained the most was naturally King. His harvest has exploded so far. In this war, his harvest has directly reached 3.12 million reputation points.
Directly set a new record.
It is worth mentioning that although King's attributes have not been increased due to the accumulation of reputation points.
But his attributes have not remained where they are.
Because the powerful power stored in the King Engine is slowly changing King's physique.
So all his attributes are rising accordingly.
For example, the original strength and agility have directly increased from A to S, and the spirit and physique have directly increased to S+.
In addition, some of his skills and abilities also automatically increased.
For example, Intuition, Conqueror Haki, Armament Haki, Physical Skills, and even Observation Haki were automatically comprehended and upgraded to A-level.
Other Avatars were upgraded by fighting to death, but he was upgraded by sitting.
It can be said that the King Engine helped King save a lot of reputation points like a cheat.
Now his attribute table has been completely renewed.
---------------
Avatar: King
Strength: S
Physique: S+
Agility: S
Spirit: S+
Abilities: King Engine (S-level) Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon (S-level) Luck (S-level) Intuition (S-level)
Skills: Conqueror Haki (S-level) Armament Haki (S-level) Physical Skills (S-level) Observation Haki (A)
Reputation: 9.13 million
Note: d is the attribute of ordinary people in the current world
-------------------
Now his reputation value plus the previous accumulation is 9.13 million, and King is not far from his first SS-level ability.
The gains of others were slightly worse.
Their gains from high to low were Ryomen Sukuna 2.43 million, Hisoka 2.01 million, Esdeath 1.95 million, Unohana Retsu 1.45 million, Orochimaru 1.42 million, and Dio 1.23 million.
After all the people were ranked, Dio was at the bottom.
He started to show off against Kaido after he came out in this war.
Although he failed, he made full use of the time stop interval and other abilities to make reasonable combinations. If Kaido had not been thick-skinned, he would have been defeated by him.
But even so, he got the lowest reputation value.
There was no way, there were too many monsters fighting in this war, and it was hard to be noticed.
Even in the newspapers later, many people focused their attention on the Sun God King and Ryomen Sukuna, a man who was like a demon god.
Even if Dio had a brilliant record, he would not have received much attention.
His predecessor Hisoka, as the organizer of the war, has gained quite a bit of reputation even though he did not take action.
Esdeath is very active, and she has gained a lot of reputation because she is fighting three people alone.
However, a lot of Esdeath's reputation was used up during the war.
Now she has 970,000 reputation points left, which Kai does not plan to use. Esdeath's reputation points will enter the accumulation period.
Unohana Retsu has the aura of the world's number one swordsman.
Even if she just took action twice casually, she still received a lot of attention.
The aura of the world's number one swordsman is very valuable after her kendo tournament.
And Unohana Retsu is a female world's number one swordsman, with a very good appearance and personality, so it is normal for her to attract much attention.
Finally, Orochimaru appeared as the face king at the end of the war.
Although he only showed up once, his role is very high.
Everyone gave him face, so the attention came up.
It can only be said that Dio's reputation is not as good as that of his predecessors.
Now the accumulated reputation of all Avatars are as follows.
King 9.13 million, Ryomen Sukuna 1.68 million, Hisoka 940K, Esdeath 970K, Unohana Retsu 5.84 Million, Orochimaru 7.65 million, Dio 1.35 million.
Ryomen Sukuna's reputation is only 1.68 million now, because he has accumulated 10 million reputation points and most of them were used to upgrade to Curse Absorption by Kai.
As for Hisoka, the same is true. He challenged Ryomen Sukuna and announced the execution of the Celestial Dragons, plus this war.
His reputation value also accumulated 10 million, and his Sticky Fate was upgraded.
This ability has good development potential.
However, the number of special seeds that Hisoka can divide is limited.
There were only ten at S level, and now 20 can be divided at SS level.
In addition to the above changes.
It is worth mentioning that Unohana Retsu has added several new abilities.
When Unohana Retsu stayed on the Amazon Lily island.
Mel taught Unohana Retsu some spiritual energy techniques he had developed.
These skills directly form the three abilities, namely Hadō, Bakudō and Kaidō, which are the original Kidō.
Avatar: Unohana Retsu
Strength: S
Physique: S
Agility: S
Spirit: S+
Abilities: Zanpakutō Minazuki (S-rank), Frenzy (S-rank), Shunpo (A), Hado (B-rank), Bakudō (B-rank), Kaido (B-rank)
Skills: Yachiru Swordsmanship (S-rank), Armament Haki (S-rank), Observation Haki (S-rank)
Reputation: 5.84 Million
Note: D attribute is the attribute of ordinary people in the current world.
----------------------
After these abilities are improved, Unohana Retsu can have an extraordinary improvement in the Kidō.
Simply put, the Kidō that has been learned will be directly mastered to a certain extent, and learning a new Kidō can quickly improve to that limit.
It is a kind of skill improvement, similar to learning BUFF.
At present, many of the Kidō that Kai has studied are based on the Kidō that already existed in the original work of Bleach.
If there is a direction, the progress will naturally not be too slow, but these can only be regarded as entertainment-oriented research.
To truly improve the upper limit of combat power, you still have to rely on the most critical abilities of reputation value increase.
Da!
At this time, Kai arrived at the Calm Belt, Ruskaina Island.
The green trees and shrubs rose and fell, clustering into a huge forest. The cool breeze blew, and the light fallen leaves danced, echoing with the sweet voices of birds.
The scene was refreshing.
Da Da Da!
Kai walked slowly to the woods, where there was a small green lake.
He casually came to a smooth and hard boulder by the lake and sat down.
He opened the system's Avatar mall, and it was time to create a new Avatar.
[Observation Haki]: 2000
[Red Dragon Bloodline]: 10000
[Sword of Promised Victory]: 20000 (Excalibur)
[The Everdistant Utopia]: 30000 (Avalon)
[Armament Haki]: 3000
[Conqueror Haki]: 10000
Now his 280,000 mall points are increasing as he uses them, but Kai doesn't think it's too much.
Because when Ryomen Sukuna's ability was upgraded to SS level, he had already discovered that to upgrade to SSS level, in addition to reputation points, he also needed mall points.
Fortunately, it didn't take much, 100,000 at a time, and it was unknown how long it would take.
Kai looked at the abilities in the mall at this time.
He also made a decision in his heart, that was her.
Kai began to call on the system to create a new Avatar.
Soon.
As the process was completed step by step.
By the lake with green light.
A girl with soft white skin, golden hair and curled up hair on her head appeared in front of Kai.
Her black eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she opened her eyes, and her green pupils slowly shone and reflected Kai's figure.
"Excuse me, are you my master?"

Chapter 308: Just Starve
On the deserted battlefield.
A figure wearing a green Konoha vest slowly emerged from under the ground.
Orochimaru remained speechless for a long time as he looked at the battlefield, which was still in a mess even after a simple cleanup.
Originally, when he was fighting with Blue, he used the "Orochi-style Substitution Technique" to successfully escape and hide underground, preparing to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Kaito.
However, when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen lose his fighting spirit and surrender helplessly, he completely gave up the idea of showing up and fighting back.
Even the plan to break out with the remaining Konoha ninjas had completely disappeared.
He finally showed up only after the Kirigakure forced all the prisoners to evacuate.
Orochimaru looked at the location where Sarutobi Hiruzen had last thrown the flare, licked his lips, and muttered to himself in his unique hoarse voice.
"Has your time passed? You are so fragile."
After leaving these confusing words, Orochimaru's figure slowly sank into the ground again.
However, what Orochimaru didn't know was.
After he left, another white figure quietly emerged from the ground.
However, the white figure just said "Huh~ How scary~" and then disappeared.
The other side.
On the Land of Whirlpool at this time.
All the troops from the Kirigakure Village that went into this battle have retreated back to the island.
Also included were all the Konohagakure captives, including Sarutobi Hiruzen.
According to a simple statistics on the way back.
However, after less than a morning of fierce fighting, the remaining ninjas on the Konoha side were less than a thousand.
In contrast, the number of casualties on the Kirigakure side was less than one thousand.
Although the Kirigakure Village had the advantage in terms of military strength this time, the casualty ratio of nearly one to four was enough to be called a great victory.
It can even be said that if half of the battlefield had not been covered by the Hidden Mist Jutsu.
As a result, most of the remaining Konoha ninjas were unaware of such a huge casualty ratio, and perhaps their morale would collapse earlier and they would start to flee.
Perhaps the battle between ordinary ninjas will end earlier than the confrontation between top fighters on Kaito's side.
Of course, if that's the case.
This time, Kirigakure may not be able to achieve the unprecedented feat of capturing the opponent's Kage.
So even the Kirigakure troops lost nearly a thousand people, and more than half of the remaining ninjas were injured.
But the return journey was still full of joy.
Even after returning to the Land of Whirlpool, many ninjas were still ready to celebrate this great victory together.
Senior officials like Kaito and Ao naturally would not be too harsh on the victorious army. Instead, they allocated some of their limited supplies to allow these guys to celebrate wildly.
Of course, this also resulted in the already scarce supplies on the front line becoming even more stretched.
After all, before the war, the Kirigakure Village's original plan was that regardless of the outcome of the battle, most of the ninjas would return to the village after the war.
"I think we should just kill them all?"
Kaguya Tatsuya bumped his fists together with a "bang bang" sound, and looked at the other people present with excitement.
However, the others just rolled their eyes at his suggestion and showed no sign of agreeing at all.
At this time, the other ninjas in the Kirigakure Village were either celebrating or resting and healing.
However, these leading jonin could not rest and all came to the front-line command tent to discuss post-war matters.
The most important thing is how to deal with the nearly one thousand captured Konoha ninjas.
Ao rolled his eyes like everyone else when he heard Kaguya Tatsuya's suggestion.
Then he rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and said.
"The shortage of supplies is only temporary. I have already sent the general report of this battle back to the village. The Elder Genjis will send a new batch of supplies as soon as possible."
"And with this great victory, the Daimyo will not be stingy with supplies and should mobilize a batch of supplies from the western town of the Land of Water as soon as possible."
Seeing that no one else agreed with his point of view, Kaguya Tatsuya didn't want to make trouble, so he just shut up and retreated.
Seeing this, Ao continued.
"In addition, we still have to transfer most of the ninjas back to the village according to the original plan, so the actual gap in supplies will not be particularly large."
At this stage, the defense capabilities within the Kirigakure Village were extremely weak.
Although given the current situation, Konoha will definitely not attack the Kirigakure Village.
But don't forget that the hatred level of the Kumogakure Village towards the Kirigakure Village is not low at the moment.
Even though the Iwagakure Village, which killed the Third Raikage, is ahead of the Kirigakure Village, no one can guarantee that those barbarians in the Kumogakure Village won't suddenly have a change of heart and choose to attack the Kirigakure Village.
Therefore, withdrawing troops is an inevitable choice.
At this time, Kaito, who was lazily leaning on a chair nearby, suddenly reminded him.
"There should still be a lot of supplies at the Konoha front camp, right?"
At this moment, Kaito was in this kind of meeting with a very casual attitude. It was not that he was getting carried away after winning a victory and defeating the Third Hokage.
But in his current state, he really couldn't muster up the energy.
Previously on the battlefield, Kaito originally thought that as long as he had the 'Bitter Blade' to replenish his life energy, he could perform 'acupressure' infinitely and repeatedly squeeze chakra to maintain his combat power.
It turns out he was overthinking it a bit.
Although Acupressure can increase the power, even if it is 'double chakra', it mainly consumes physical strength.
But it’s not that there is no mental consumption, it’s just that the consumption is not obvious.
When fighting, his spirit is in an excited state and he doesn’t feel anything.
After coming out of the Acupressure amplification, Kaito immediately felt mentally exhausted.
Although he had plenty of physical strength and chakra left, his slight mental deficiency was particularly obvious.
This also made Kaito look like he was leaning there as if he had not woken up yet.
Fortunately, most of the senior ninjas present were familiar faces, and they all saw the scene of Kaito displaying his mighty power on the battlefield just now.
So at this time no one would jump out to make trouble for themselves and think that they are being looked down upon.
Let’s get back to the previous topic.
When Ao heard Kaito's reminder, his eyes lit up at first, and then he spoke hesitantly.
"Now that the battle is over, will robbing the Konoha camp have any impact on the subsequent peace talks?"
Kaito, who was already a little distracted, sighed helplessly after hearing his sensei's somewhat naive remarks.
"Ao-sensei, there's no need to snatch it."
"Send someone to tell the frontline camp in Konoha that the Kirigakure Village can't feed so many mouths in Konoha. If they don't send supplies, all the Konoha ninjas will starve."
"Everyone including Sarutobi Hiruzen, when the supplies are delivered, they will have food to eat!"

Chapter 307 End
"Swish~swish~swish~"
The four ice flame clones of Kaito landed near the Four Purple Flame Formation.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed drastically when he saw this.
He immediately shouted loudly.
"Homura! Retreat!"
After saying this, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was originally standing a little shaky, actually forced himself to pull up Mitokado Homura and fly backwards together.
However, Kaito rolled his eyes when he saw the two people who started to run away for no apparent reason.
"Blue, chase them and hang behind them!"
‘Ok! (.-`ω-)'
After receiving the order, Blue followed slowly, but did not choose to intercept.
The other four Ice Flame clones that had just arrived quickly dispersed and began to form seals at the four corners of the sealing barrier.
Then they each stretched out their hands and aimed at the barrier.
"White Style: Absolute Zero"
Extremely cold white flames quickly gushed out from the palms of the four people, instantly hitting the small triangular defense shields on the four corners of the barrier.
The so-called 'Four Purple Flame Formation that even Kage-level person cannot break' only lasted for a short while before it could no longer withstand the extremely cold temperature and froze and shattered.
The four shadow clones of Mitokado Homura who were maintaining the barrier within the small protective shield were all corroded by the frost and turned into nothingness.
In fact, this is the correct way to perform "Absolute Zero".
However, neither Kaito's real body nor his clone could sustain the low temperature of 'absolute zero'.
This requires choosing to use the Shinsō as a medium, or directly exploding it all at once.
If Kaito had not been short of chakra at the moment and was not afraid of hurting himself, he would have directly used "Absolute Zero" to break the barrier.
At this time, the four ice flame clones had all been frozen by the aftermath, turning into four immovable ice sculptures.
Kaito brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, restarted himself, and chased after Blue.
When the pure white figure of Kaito once again struck in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen like a meteor.
Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and cold air filled the air.
Mitokado Homura wanted to take the last scroll and repeat his old trick, but was immediately stopped by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the unbridled and overly youthful Kaito, who seemed to have aged in an instant, with even his back slightly hunched.
Kaito originally thought that he would have to fight again after catching up with the two.
Seeing this, he also understood the outcome of this battle.
But this also saves Kaito from having to worry about whether or not to kill these two old guys.
After being briefly controlled by the Four Purple Flame Formation just now, he calmed down and thought carefully within the barrier and made a discovery.
Killing these two people doesn't seem to bring much benefit to Kirigakure.
On the contrary, it is possible that the remaining people in Konoha, out of hatred, will make a desperate counterattack against Kirigakure, causing more unnecessary casualties.
It would be better to keep these two doves and put an end to this war.
Perhaps it will also allow Kirigakure to gain more benefits at the negotiating table later.
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who had become extremely old in an instant, Kaito did not have the slightest bit of pity, but instead became more certain of his judgment.
He pointed the short sword in his hand at the two of them and gave orders in a cold tone.
"Hokage-sama, your time has ended. Surrender now."
When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his body hunched over again, and it seemed as if all his energy and spirit were instantly drained by these words.
With his only remaining arm, he tremblingly took out a flare from his bosom.
"Hiruzen!"
Seeing this, Mitokado Homura, who was standing by, called out to his old friend with a grim expression, as if he wanted to say something.
However, before he could finish the second half of his sentence.
Blue, who was standing behind him, used his tongue to lick his neck.
Mitokado Homura was instantly poisoned by the paralyzing poison and fell to the ground.
The huge scroll in his hand fell directly to the ground, as if symbolizing the end of the final resistance.
Sarutobi Hiruzen on the side hurried forward to check, but the blade light shot from the Shinsō in the hand of Kaito in front of him was pressed against his neck.
"Hokage, Elder Mitokado has only been poisoned by a paralytic toxin. But if this continues, I cannot guarantee that it will not damage his brain nerves."
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's arms trembled slightly, and he finally gave up his last bit of persistence and struggle.
He trembled and threw the flare in his hand directly into the air.
As if unwilling to admit Konoha's defeat, the flare was not thrown very high.
But in contrast, the sound of the flare explosion spread throughout the entire battlefield.
Hearing the unique sound of the flare, many Konoha ninjas looked up at the sky in confusion.
Those who were fleeing stopped, and those who were killing the enemy had their weapons fall off unconsciously.
Some of them didn't even react when swords and kunais approached them, and just wanted to look up to confirm that the voice was not real.
Seeing this, Kaito knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was not playing any tricks.
Then he took out a flare from his arms and threw it high into the air.
There was also the same loud explosion.
The flames from the flare exploded in all directions.
However, although the sounds of the two flares were different, the flames they produced were also completely different.
But it seemed that the sound of the latter flare was clearer, and the fireworks in the sky were brighter and more gorgeous.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the flare in the sky in a daze.
But in just a moment, the battlefield was filled with the howling cheers of the Kirigakure ninjas.
“We won!!”
"Long live Mirukawa-sama!!"
"Haha! Kill them all!"
At this moment, on this battlefield where blood was spilt and corpses and weapons were scattered all over the ground, a sharp contrast formed between the ninjas of Kirigakure and Konohagakure.
The mist that had been covering the ground began to slowly dissipate at some point, and the sun once again shone on the muddy ground.
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a few breaths with difficulty, then fell down weakly again.
He didn't even realize that his neck was cut by the blade of the Shinsō.
Kaito just stood there quietly, watching everything in front of him.
At this time.
Ao, carrying the bloody Samehada, instantly appeared next to Kaito, looking at the two Konoha high-ranking officials in front of him with some astonishment.
“Here, here.”
After looking at Ao for a long time without being able to explain anything, Kaito shrugged helplessly.
"That's what you see."
After saying that, Kaito retracted the blade of the Shinsō, swung the Shinsō in his hand into a sword flower, and put it back into the scabbard.
"Blue~"
A pink tongue wrapped around Sarutobi Hiruzen's neck. These were the last words he heard before he fell into a coma.
After seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had fallen asleep and Ao was by his side, Kaito felt relieved and tapped his chest several times to release all the conditions on his body.
At the same time, the white flames on Blue's body were also removed, and his skin returned to its previous dark blue color.
Ao on the side was amazed.
"I am increasingly unable to understand your moves."
However, before Ao could finish his words, Kaito's steps staggered slightly and he almost fell.
Ao quickly dropped the Samehada in his hand and reached out to support him.
"Kaito, are you okay?"
"Quack~(っ°Д°)っ"
Blue also looked worried and instantly moved to Kaito's side.
However, Kaito himself waved his hand indifferently.
"It's nothing, just a small problem."
Then, a smile from the heart appeared on Kaito's face.
"it's over."
"Yeah, it's finally over."

------------------------------------
Author ↓
The war has been written about and some intelligence can be released.
Actually, I arranged two world lines for this battle at the beginning.
The first one is the current one (basically the same, but Mitokado Homura's Four Purple Flame Formation was used by the Third Hokage, in order to make the Hokage look more powerful. Some scenes that highlight Hiruzen's strength were cut)
In another world line, the ones who actually participated in the war from Konoha were (Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, and Mitokado Homura).
Then the protagonist killed Sarutobi Hiruzen directly on the battlefield. One of Minato’s arms was cut off to save Sarutobi Hiruzen. As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen died, the protagonist shouted "Hokage is dead". Minato wanted to continue fighting, but was stopped by Mitokado Homura. The morale of the Konoha troops collapsed and they began to flee.
Then Orochimaru repelled the Land of Earth troops who wanted to steal the chicken in the northern battlefield. After the peace talks, Danzo was released. Orochimaru was rewarded, Namikaze Minato was disabled, and Orochimaru became the Fourth Hokage.
But how should I put it? When I was writing it, I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to grasp the subsequent plot (if the Hokage died, there might not be a stage of peace talks, and Konoha would definitely take revenge). Another reason is that killing the Hokage is indeed not a wise choice for the Kirigakure Village.
So after struggling for a while, I finally gave up (in fact, I was just scared. Once Orochimaru showed up on the battlefield, it would be impossible for Namikaze Minato to come out, so I could only keep writing).
But after all, I really liked this idea in the beginning, so I couldn't help but want to tell you about it.
Let’s just think of it as the β world line being converged.

Chapter 310: Higuma returned to the old ways
The second half of the Grand Line, the New World, Wano Country, Udon.
When the new newspaper was delivered here.
Kaido has returned to this country. At this time, he was sitting in a building in the quarry with a slash.
"Worararara! The two Kings, I didn't expect Morgans to be so good at talking!"
He looked at the newspaper in his hand and laughed.
The deafening sound shook the building and dropped some dust.
"The emperor who reigns over the new world! Big brother can actually become such a person, it's really worth celebrating."
Queen, who was next to Kaido, also finished reading the newspaper, and then laughed wildly.
After all, although it is a bit unconfident to say, the eldest brother always loses, especially the latest leader of the underground organization in the South Blue is about to ride on the eldest brother's head.
In addition, there are many powerful legendary pirates now, which makes Queen a little unconfident.
Now Kaido can be listed as one of the Four Emperors with Whitebeard, Shiki the Golden Lion, and Big Mom, and Queen's body is unobstructed.
Sure enough, the eldest brother is still the eldest brother, and the title of Pirate Emperor sounds very pleasant.
With this title, those annoying guys have to bow down obediently.
When Queen laughed wildly, Kaido next to him felt something was wrong. He felt that Queen was looking down on him.
What do you mean he can, his mace is not vegetarian!
Kaido shook his head and didn't care about such a small problem anymore. He said in a deep voice.
"Queen, you have to take good care of those guys in the quarry. Don't let them run away."
"Of course, big brother, relax. Once they fall into my hands, I will make sure they are obedient even if they are supernovas."
Hearing Kaido's words, Queen patted his chest and promised solemnly.
Queen also knew the importance of Kaido's request. After all, Kaido loves talent very much, and the future prospects of this supernova must be good. After all, the Worst Generation is still very famous, and their performance this time is really amazing.
Now it is said that King, the pervert who likes torture, is restrained by that man on the floating island of Shiki the Golden Lion.
Because of this the big brother is naturally more eager for talents.
Kaido nodded, and then stood up suddenly. He was ready to go back to Onigashima.
Quarry.
There are several figures standing out among the quarrying people, led by two men.
One of them looked like an old man, wearing a brown coat, and looked a bit domineering.
The other was a young man, wearing gray-green clothes and short hair, and looked very arrogant.
The two were the Supernovas of the Worst Generation, the Power Sword Higuma and the Tyrannical King Andre.
Beside them, in addition to the Muscle Demon Kanika and Golden Toad Hughes, who were also Supernovas of the Worst Generation, there were also some cadres on their ship.
Now they were wearing shackles.
The reason why they were here was also very simple.
When most of the world's attention was on the war of the execution of the Celestial Dragons on the Death Island.
Higuma Pirates, Muscle Pirates, and Andre Pirates, led by several supernovas, launched an attack on the Beasts Pirates of Wano Country.
According to the rumors at the time, Kaido the Beast was imprisoned by the Snake Lord Orochimaru.
For the supernovas who want to become famous, the Beasts Pirates are a very good target at this time.
At that time, due to the war on the Death Island, the Beasts Pirates also dispatched some forces to wait and see, and their strength was weaker.
In this situation.
The above-mentioned several supernova pirate groups joined forces to come to Wano Country to attack the Beasts Pirates entrenched there.
This battle between supernovas and old big forces.
The initial supernovas were extremely embarrassed, after all, these supernovas had not grown up yet, but under the planning of Golden Toad Hughes.
They released some of the living forces of Wano Country. These living forces heard that Kaido, the Beasts, and his right hand man King were imprisoned by a more powerful existence, and they were also excited and screamed.
The remaining forces were called by these local bigwigs to fight to the death.
At that time, Orochi, the general of Wano Country, and Kaido, the background behind him, were both captured by the Snake Lord Orochimaru.
This wave was leaderless, and the scene was very chaotic.
Even Queen was tricked by Hughes and was directly poisoned by Hughes.
Although Queen, as a scientist, also had a lot of antidotes, he could only temporarily delay Hughes' poison, so his combat power was greatly reduced.
He was almost knocked to his knees by Andre's face.
It can be said that under the circumstances at that time.
The Beast Pirates really had the possibility of being defeated.
However, at this time.
Kaido came back, and Kaido, who was constantly showing off by the dark boss Dio and was as uncomfortable as hitting a fly, came back with anger.
As soon as he came back, he used a mace to send the most jumping supernovas to the quarry one by one.
As for those daimyo who were always stubborn and rebelled at every turn, they were even more directly killed.
Now.
The quarry of Udon is very lively.
There were so many captured samurai that it felt crowded.
"Did the execution of the Celestial Dragons succeed? Did Kaido become the so-called Pirate Emperor?"
Andre was reading a newspaper in the rest area at this time. This was what Hughes got from the guards.
With his eloquence, he easily convinced the guards.
And Queen turned a blind eye to such things.
Only if they knew the current status and reputation of the Beasts Pirates, they would not have much resistance to joining the Beasts Pirates.
Queen thought so.
Queen also valued these supernovas.
After all, if it weren't for the return of his eldest brother, he might have really fallen this time.
No matter what means they used, Queen would not deceive himself if he could achieve this level.
If these supernovas could join.
Then it must be a good improvement for the strength of the Beasts Pirates.
"This is not strange. Kaido's power in the New World is still very strong, with a large number of troops, and Kaido's own strength..."
Hughes next to him could not deny the execution of the Celestial Dragons, but he had no doubt that the Beasts Pirates could become one of the Four Emperors.
Although they almost defeated the Beasts Pirates.
But Hughes did not get too arrogant. He knew very well how much external forces were used to contain this operation.
If they fought head-on, their number would not be enough to fill the teeth of the Beasts Pirates.
Although a large number of people does not mean strong.
But the Beasts Pirates, who were able to suppress the Samurai Country of Wano, had pirates of high quality.
Now these supernovas have not grown to the point where they can ignore numbers.
And after fighting Kaido at close range, Hughes truly felt the unreasonable and unrivaled power of the world's top strongmen.
It's a fantasy to defeat him by tricks. In the end, it's all about strength.
If you can have the god-like power of the Marine Sun God King, there's nothing to worry about.
Andre's face was a little sour at this time. When he heard Hughes mention Kaido's strength, he couldn't help but recall that he was knocked unconscious by Kaido last night.
Really weak! At that time, Andre once again felt his weakness.
"Andre, don't worry, we still have time. This place is a good training ground. One day we will succeed."
Hughes looked at Andre's somewhat unwilling expression and comforted him.
"Humph, don't worry, I'm not a man who will fall here. As a captain, I'm more than this level."
Hearing Hughes' comfort, Andre also raised his head slightly, his tone was a little stubborn, but his mood was much better.
Next to the two, there was another exchange.
Muscle Demon Kanika was asking Higuma about his well-being and wiping his sweat.
This made Higuma feel very uncomfortable.
But at this moment, he was thinking about his future development.
Now.
If he didn't join the Beasts Pirates, he would not be able to escape easily.
So, Higuma was also thinking about what to do next.
He had already made a decision in his heart.
That was to join the Beasts Pirates. Of course, he didn't give up his ambition, but to repeat his previous deeds.
You should know that he didn't become the King of Bandits right away, but started as a lackey.
And when he came to the sea, he killed the previous captain and inherited his pirate group, so he didn't have much burden to join other pirate groups.
Now Higuma plans to join the Beasts Pirates first, slowly develop with the help of this behemoth, and then turn the tables.
At worst, he can leave after he becomes stronger.
To be honest.
For Higuma, the current goal of becoming the Pirate King is not something that can be achieved in a short time.
The resistance ahead is too great.
It is really difficult to surpass the evil pirate Hisoka and the snake lord Orochimaru. It is not something that can be done in a short time.
However, although it is difficult, Higuma, who has not experienced the shackles of the strength of the top strong, is still optimistic.
After all, he believes that since someone can grow to that level.
Then he can too.
Of course, optimism is optimism.
The current reality still needs to be faced. He has not even crossed the mountain of Kaido, let alone others.
He held the newspaper in his hand and looked at Kanika, took a deep breath.
From now his journey to become the Pirate King will start again from the Beast Pirates.

Chapter 306 The Intelligence is Pretty Accurate
Countless oversized giant shurikens flew towards him like a flood.
Fortunately, this kind of covering attack still has gaps.
Kaito kept dodging the shurikens falling from all directions and successfully evacuated the spot.
Looking at the ground in front of him that was covered with densely packed giant shurikens, Kaito couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Looking closely, he saw a familiar old man holding an unfolded scroll and looking at him.
‘Mitokado Homura?’
‘Is Leader Harusame's intelligence quite accurate?’
However, although the opponent's attack missed, Mitokado Homura did not give up and quickly threw away the empty scroll in his hand.
He took out a new scroll from his chest.
Without waiting for Kaito to charge at him, Mitokado Homura directly pulled the thick wooden shaft at the top of the scroll and swung it quickly.
The scroll quickly unfolded in the air, with densely packed sealing runes on it.
"Bang bang bang~"
A series of dense white smoke exploded, and hundreds of kunai tied with explosive tags flew out from the huge scroll.
But that’s not all.
Mitokado Homura just waved his hand, and the huge scroll floated strangely in the air.
Then he quickly formed seals with his hands.
"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"Bang~" a huge amount of white smoke exploded.
The dense kunai that was already dense enough to cover the sky and the sun suddenly increased dozens of times with the help of this ninjutsu.
It shot towards the area where Kaito was.
"Fuck!"
Faced with such an attack, Kaito didn't even think of dodging and directly formed seals on the spot.
"White Style: Ice Prison Wall"
A hemispherical ice cap instantly formed around it.
However, Kaito still felt unsafe, so he directly used the spiral techniques of "Water Pulse" and "Waterfall Technique" to quickly rotate the entire ice sheet.
"Ice Prison Wall has no chance of recovery!"
Although all this sounds complicated, it actually only happens in a moment.
The next moment.
Countless kunai tied with explosive tags attacked in overwhelming numbers.
“Boom boom boom~”
The dense explosions rang in his ears one after another, and the rapidly rotating ice sheet was also shaken by the explosions.
But at this time, Kaito was not panicking at all.
Because the warning of 'Anticipation' has passed.
The explosion lasted for nearly ten seconds before it slowly ended. Even Kaito himself couldn't help but complain about it.
"So damn rich! It turns out that Mitokado Homura is this type of Kage-level figure."
After the explosion subsided, Kaito remained vigilant and withdrew his defenses.
"Kaito! Be careful! ! "
Suddenly, a reminder from Blue, who had always been in sync with him mentally, came to his mind.
Kaito subconsciously wanted to dodge back and leave the spot.
But as soon as he moved, a danger warning immediately came from behind.
However, when he tried to dodge to the side, danger came again from the left.
"Danger comes from all directions? No, there is no danger if you don't move? It's an interception! Seal! "
Kaito's thoughts flashed like lightning.
Sure enough, the next moment, four voices came from four directions at the same time.
"Ninjutsu: Four Purple Flame Formation"x4
As soon as the words fell, four translucent purple walls quickly rose up, and in the blink of an eye, the area where Kaito was located was sealed off.
Kaito looked up, tentatively preparing to spread his wings and fly into the sky, but the 'Anticipation' in his mind still gave him a warning.
As expected, the next second, the area above his head was also blocked by a translucent wall.
An extremely huge purple cage took shape instantly.
It actually trapped Kaito here.
And at this time.
Mitokado Homura, who had previously used large-scale explosive tags to bombard Kaito, also walked over to support Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just lost his arm and looked extremely pale.
"Little devil, you do have the ability to sense danger, but so what?"
"Large-scale attacks and a sealing formation that does no damage are your weaknesses!"
Kaito was a little surprised when he heard this.
This old guy could actually see the difference between his 'Anticipation' and ordinary perception ability.
But actually, there is one thing that Mitokado Homura said wrong, if it is just a simple move like immobilization.
For example, shadow imitation, even if there is no harm, he can still sense it.
As for the 'Four Purple Flame Formation', it may be because the area it covers is indeed too large, but it does not completely restrict his own movements.
That's why the 'Anticipation' did not give any warning, but when he wanted to run away, the burn effect of hitting the wall was judged as 'dangerous'.
Or, there is another possibility.
"Is it possible that the so-called sealing formation you mentioned is not dangerous to me?"
Kaito looked at the two old men standing opposite him and said with a playful smile.
However, Mitokado Homura obviously trusts his own judgment more.
"It's useless, kid! The defense of the Four Purple Flame Formation cannot be easily broken even by a Kage!"
After saying this, Mitokado Homura no longer paid any attention to Kaito.
He turned and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who looked quite miserable.
"Huruzen, you retreat first! I'll stay and restrain this brat!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose face was completely pale at the moment, stubbornly shook off the arm that was supporting him from Mitokado Homura, stood up straight and spoke.
"Homura! I am Hokage!"
Kaito, inside the sealed barrier, was watching the two old men perform their tragic drama with a smile on his face.
However, this scene was interrupted by the sound of someone falling to the ground in an instant.
They saw a frog with white flames on his body, carrying a block of ice that looked like a human in front of them, and he landed outside the sealing barrier.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura immediately took out their kunai and took a defensive stance.
However, when they saw the man carried by the frog, their expressions changed drastically.
With a 'bang', Blue dropped the human-shaped ice cube on his shoulder to the ground.
The only part of the ice block that was not frozen was the lifeless head sticking out. It was the head of Orochimaru who had fought with Blue before.
Kaito smiled and looked at the ice cubes brought by Blue, and said to the little frog.
"Absolute zero?"
'No, just ordinary freezing.'
Feeling the message conveyed by Blue in his voice, Kaito nodded, but still gave a casual reminder.
"Then freeze his mouth too, to prevent anything weird from coming out of it."
Upon hearing this, the little frog immediately and obediently condensed a ball of white flame and threw it into Orochimaru's mouth, freezing it.
However, when Kaito saw Orochimaru who did not resist at all and seemed to be in a coma.
But he still has some doubts in his heart.
'Isn't this another fake?'
Of course, this can be verified later.
He looked again at the two old men in front of him who were facing a formidable enemy.
Kaito, however, smiled calmly inside the sealed barrier.
Because the 'person' he was waiting for arrived.

Chapter 305 Broken Arm
All the Konoha ninjas present were shocked when they heard Orochimaru's words.
They didn't expect that this scary little Kirigakure devil had such evil ninjutsu.
On the other hand, Kaito, facing Orochimaru's questioning, grinned.
"Really? Guess?"
Orochimaru showed no expression towards Kaito's attitude.
He was obviously certain of his guess.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen on the side gave an order directly.
"Everyone back off!"
Now that the Hokage has spoken, the rest of the people will not disobey orders.
After staring at Kaito with hateful eyes for a while, they all dispersed to other parts of the battlefield.
"You don't have help, but I do~"
After saying that, Kaito waved his hand.
Of course, he wasn't talking about the other Kirigakure ninjas.
After all, they had been ordered before the war not to approach.
But as Kaito finished speaking.
“Swish~swish~swish~”
The remaining dozen or so Ice Flame clones all instantly landed behind Kaito.
However, Kaito, who had received the "reinforcement", suddenly had a dark look on his face and looked like he had a stomachache.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru on the opposite side had no idea what was happening.
Kaito himself heard it clearly.
As soon as these ice flame clones came over, they immediately began whispering in groups of three or four behind him.
"Oh my god, is this a bond evolution?"
"Of course! But when did this happen? How did it evolve?"
"Shh! Shut up, we're on the battlefield! The main character is going to be angry!"
Although the voices of these clones were not loud, they were all noisy, so how could Kaito not hear them?
It was because there were two enemies on the opposite side that he resisted the urge to turn around and curse.
Although if he put himself in their shoes, Kaito would definitely be surprised if he suddenly saw Blue's appearance change drastically.
But.
‘This is a war! Can you be serious?!’
Kaito was roaring wildly in his heart.
However, after seeing the change in Kaito's expression, the master and disciple on the opposite side were not prepared to delay any further.
The two began to form seals at the same time.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique"
"Wind Style: Breakthrough"
Sarutobi Hiruzen spit out fireball from his mouth, and Orochimaru spit out strong wind from his mouth.
The wind fanned the fire.
Under the combined ninjutsu, a giant fireball of terrifying size, with overwhelming heat waves, instantly shattered the earth and rushed towards Kaito.
However, facing such a powerful attack, Kaito was not at all panicked.
Dozens of clones jumped out behind him.
"White Style: Powder Snow"
"White Style: Powder Snow" xN
More than a dozen icy cold winds mixed with white flames immediately gathered into one stream and faced the huge fireball.
In just a moment, it suppressed the ninjutsu released by the master and disciple on the opposite side.
At the same time, Kaito's real body ignored the attack.
He spread his wings behind him and rushed into the air.
A giant 'Ice Flame Shuriken' quickly condensed in his hand.
The master and disciple, who were originally suppressed by their combined ninjutsu, saw the obviously powerful moves of Kaito in the air, and immediately stopped spewing out ninjutsu from their mouths and quickly flew back.
At the same time, they formed seals with both hands and released ninjutsu.
A smile appeared on Kaito's face.
Afterwards, he used all his strength, like a fully drawn bow, to throw the 'Ice Flame Shuriken' towards the two people fleeing below.
The 'Ice Flame Shuriken' drew a beautiful arc in the air and whizzed towards them.
In front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru, a thick earth wall rose from the ground.
However, the imagined collision and explosion did not occur.
With a "bang".
The originally menacing 'Ice Flame Shuriken' suddenly exploded into a ball of white smoke.
This shuriken was actually the result of Blue's transformation.
Blue supported the wall with one hand, and then his body began to spin violently. In the blink of an eye, a big hole appeared on the earth wall.
Blue used the "digging" technique to drill through the earth wall. Under the astonished gaze of the two men, he stretched out his legs in the air and kicked at the two men at the same time.
"Bang~" x2
Two loud bangs were heard, and the two people who were hiding behind the earth wall were kicked out from both sides.
Kaito's eyes lit up when he saw this scene.
"It's the real body! Well done!"
Then the man and the frog had a tacit understanding.
Kaito directly leaned forward and rushed towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Blue also tapped the ground with his feet and instantly rushed towards Orochimaru who flew out to the other side.
Looking at Kaito rushing towards him rapidly, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that something bad was going to happen.
He quickly flipped the iron rod in his hand and pounded it into the ground, forcibly stopping his retreat.
At the same time, the iron rod quickly extended and shot straight towards Kaito in the air.
However, Kaito did not slow down at all in the face of such an attack.
He dodged it with just a light sidestep.
However, what followed was the reminder of 'Anticipation'.
The next moment, a sturdy arm covered with white hair suddenly grew out from the iron rod, and stretched out a big hand to grab Kaito.
However, the 'Kaito' held by this big hand exploded with a 'bang' and turned into countless feathers burning with white flames.
The real body of Kaito had already rushed to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He swung the Shinsō in his hand down quickly.
Time seemed to have slowed down countless times at this moment.
A cold white flame slowly emerged from the tip of the Shinsō, and then began to spread forward in a fan shape, approaching Sarutobi Hiruzen little by little.
At the same time, the huge iron rod in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand also gradually emitted white smoke and turned back into the giant monkey covered with white hair.
At this moment, the giant monkey's arm was still stained with some white sparks left over from the previous mistaken attack on 'Feather Dance'.
After the giant monkey appeared, he looked deeply at his old friend.
Then he swung his fist without hesitation and knocked Sarutobi Hiruzen away.
"Boom~"
A violent white flame suddenly exploded, swallowing up the white giant monkey in front of it in the blink of an eye.
Endless flames spread wildly, then quickly receded, and finally turned into an iceberg.
As for the leader of the monkey clan, even the Summoning technique couldn't be broken, and his body was firmly frozen in the iceberg.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was knocked away by him, was not having an easy time either.
After being knocked flying, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell heavily to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood mixed with ice chips, and half of his body was covered with frost.
But what was more serious was that at this time Sarutobi Hiruzen's entire right arm was torn off.
He was not able to completely dodge the previous attack, and half of his arm was frozen in the iceberg.
And because of the powerful inertia of Monkey King Enma's punch, his entire right arm was torn off.
The blood froze into ice as he continued to splash in the air, but it was also this extreme cold that stopped the bleeding from his broken arm.
When Kaito saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen had avoided his attack, he immediately flashed and chased after him.
He even ignored his equally frozen arm.
But the next moment, 'Anticipation' sounded the alarm again.

Chapter 309 Shiki the golden lion with a background
The next day.
The urgently sent newspapers flew all over the world.
People also looked at the newspapers this time.
After all, not all islands have live broadcasts, and many rely on newspapers to understand the outside world.
Especially yesterday, there was a jaw-dropping spectacle in the sky.
People were eager to know if it was related to the execution of the Celestial Dragons.
Of course, they also wanted to know if the Celestial Dragons were really executed successfully.
And when they got the freshly-published newspaper, they did get the information they wanted to know.
Even though they were mentally prepared, people were still shocked.
[The strongest battle ever, the strongest marine in history, Sun King, VS the strongest pirate in history, King of Fear, Ryomen Sukuna, the sun across the sky, celebrate! The birth of the Sun God King]
[The execution of the Celestial Dragons was successful, the Death Island, the place where the crown fell, the new pirate pattern of the sea, the two kings and the four emperors, was formed. ]
Just looking at the two huge headlines in the newspaper.
They were already shocked.
Two headlines, and the strongest battle was ranked ahead of the execution of the Celestial Dragons.
This shows that in the eyes of the World Economic News Agency or Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency.
The duel between Sun King and the King of Fear Ryomen Sukuna is more important.
Thinking of the astonishing spectacle yesterday, is it really so? The Sun God King, even this title has come out.
After reading the entire newspaper.
The whole person was in a state of excitement.
So many big figures appeared in that dazzling war.
The power they showed like a natural disaster made people fear and yearn for it.
The success of the execution of the Celestial Dragons made people feel complicated.
Before the Celestial Dragons were kidnapped and the Heavenly Gold was frequently stolen, the majesty of the Celestial Dragons was somewhat shaky.
Now, this time their public execution was successful, which made people's concept of the supremacy of the Celestial Dragons, which had been engraved in their bones since childhood, begin to break.
It turns out that the Celestial Dragons are no different from ordinary people.
They were easily caught, their ugly appearance was exposed, and they were killed at will.
They are just a group of privileged parasites.
They even seem insignificant in the face of this grand war.
Are they ruled by such a group of people?
After sighing, people looked at the summary of the pirate pattern of the Great Pirate Era by the World Economic Newspaper, the two pirate Kings and four pirate Emperors who reigned over the world.
With the King of Fear Ryomen Sukuna being assumed to be dead.
The pirates were directly identified by Morgans as the strongest forces on many sides.
The two kings, the evil pirate Hisoka, and the Snake Lord Orochimaru.
The evil pirate Hisoka and his extremely evil fleet is the undisputed leader among all the pirate groups.
With the three evil generals and the seven chief sins as the core, the newly established three evil generals are unprecedentedly powerful.
They all shined in this war, showing the monster strength like a natural disaster.
There are only a handful of monsters with such strength in other pirate groups.
In addition, this pirate group has close relations with various powerful monsters, and even organized this war on death island to challenge the authority of the world government and succeeded.
It is well deserved for its power.
The Snake Lord, Orochimaru, became one of the two kings because he was so powerful that he could easily destroy other pirate groups alone.
Even if this man has no power, he is still a monster that people bow down to.
His power is not on the same level as other legendary pirates.
Everyone who has read his newspaper can clearly feel this, so he is also convincing as one of the two pirate Kings.
As for the four pirate emperors.
They are Whitebeard, Shiki the Golden Lion, Big Mom, and Kaido.
The reason why they became pirate emperors is because they were originally the most powerful forces in the New World, with many territories.
Well, except for Shiki the Golden Lion.
But now Shiki the Golden Lion has publicly formed a new flying pirate group, and even the battle axe with a bounty of more than 1 billion Baileys has become his subordinate.
More importantly, he has a background. Snake King Orochimaru lives on his island and is his ally.
You should know that Shiki the Golden Lion was almost captured by the Ice Queen of the marines before. If it weren't for Snake Lord Orochimaru, Shiki the Golden Lion would have to go to jail again.
From this point, you can imagine how strong his background is.
Although they are allies, Morgans thinks it is more like a support relationship.
Anyway, Morgans believe that with Snake Lord Orochimaru, it is only a matter of time for Shiki the Golden Lion and his Flying Pirates to revive again.
By then, Shiki the Golden Lion will become the emperor who rules the sky.
As the new pattern of the Great Pirate Era was divided by Morgans.
Looking at those powerful forces.
People who should have been panicked and frightened did not have much fear.
Because the Sun God King, the strongest marine who can hardly be called a human being, the fiery and equal justice he upholds makes people believe.
Even if the situation is bad, the world will not be irreparable.
His existence seems to be able to suppress all evil.
Just like this time, the power of the pirates has expanded so much, and there is also the uncrowned king of the pirates, Ryomen Sukuna.
But even that king of pirates has been eliminated by King.
Since that man who is like a demon god has been eliminated, the remaining will not be a problem for King.
People firmly believe at this time.
In this case.
The number of young people who are determined to join the marines has also begun to increase.
Of course, due to the formation of the pirate pattern, the number of young people who want to become strong and challenge the monarchs and emperors of the New World to replace them is also increasing.
These are things at the level of ordinary people.
As for the results of this war in various countries, they are a little ambiguous.
On the one hand, it is the imbalance of the authority of the Celestial Dragons that makes the high-level officials of various kingdoms have more ideas about them.
On the other hand, it is the timing of the marine Admiral King's action in this war that makes them smell the opportunity.
The Celestial Dragons and the man who is like a god are not on the same side.
This makes many high-level officials of the kingdom see the blind spot.
The entire process of the execution of the Celestial Dragons was not done until after the execution. The signal revealed was very serious.
Then think of the blazing and equal justice promoted by the marines.
This made many high-ranking officials of the kingdoms start to ponder deeply.
If we can ask King to ask the world government to reduce the burden of the heavenly gold.
Is there such a possibility?
With the god-like power of that man, even the world government cannot underestimate his opinion!
Some high-ranking officials of the kingdoms are planning in this way, and some are ready to act anonymously.
However, even if they are anonymous, they may be discovered by the world government, and then they will face the threat of the world government.
This undoubtedly requires great courage, but some kingdoms can no longer care so much.
After all, the burden of heavenly gold is really heavy, heavy enough to drag down a kingdom. Many countries have caused famine or even national destruction in order to pay their share.
That's why many people are willing to take risks in the face of this hope.
There are even extremists who think that they should just ask the King to destroy Marijio, and then they support the King to form a new world government.
And so on.
All we can say is how the result will develop depends on how King will choose in the future.

Chapter 304: Mirukawa-san
"Boom~"
After the two white meteors intersected, they quickly dispersed, drawing a ninety-degree right angle on the battlefield.
Kaito on the right clicked his feet repeatedly and instantly appeared behind a Konoha ninja who was about to attack the enemy.
There was a "bang" sound from the short blade in Kaito's hand, and a piece of jumping white flame emerged.
The 'Bitter Blade' slashed through instantly.
The Kirigakure ninja who was almost ambushed by the enemy had not yet understood what was happening, he only felt a cold wind blowing behind him.
Subconsciously looking back, he saw behind him only an ice sculpture with half of its body left, and a white meteor flying away from him at a rapid speed.
"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~"
Kaito flashed continuously between the battlefields.
He changed direction again and joined Blue on the left who had also killed several people.
The man and the frog crossed each other and clapped their hands lightly.
The status was immediately filled up.
Two white fire meteors continuously crossed each other, constantly killing enemies along the way.
Two icy paths like intertwined DNA chains were left on the battlefield.
Until they rushed to the area where Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru were fighting with the remaining dozen ice clones.
Kaito suddenly stopped.
"Blue!"
"I understand! (.-`ω-)"
Kaito, who was about to stop the car suddenly, stretched out his arm and grabbed Blue.
Then, with the help of inertia, he rotated his body on the spot and threw the little frog into the air.
Blue, who was flying into the air, did not show any intention of stopping.
He iImmediately put his palms together.
'White Style: Ice Flame Shuriken'
Dozens of white flames instantly split out from Blue's body, spinning rapidly into ice crystal shurikens with white flames rising from them.
Next moment.
These ice flame shurikens, like a dense cluster of missiles, smashed towards the ground.
"Boom~" "Boom~" "Boom~" "Boom~"
Countless white flames exploded all over the earth, spreading rapidly and condensing into ice.
Several Konoha ninjas who were unable to dodge were pierced through by this sudden attack and died on the spot.
Seeing this, Orochimaru immediately kicked Kaito Clone away and slapped the ground with both hands.
"Bang~"
A cloud of white smoke exploded, and a coiled giant snake was summoned out in an instant, blocking Orochimaru.
Dozens of ice flame shurikens shot into the giant snake's body, exploding into ice flowers on its body.
But.
Kaito, who had just thrown Blue into the air, did not stop there.
After turning around, he started moving again and rushed directly into the bombing range of the 'Ice Flame Shuriken'.
However, it was obvious that Kaito was just running around casually on the battlefield and did not deliberately try to avoid Blue's attacks.
But these ice flame shurikens seemed to have eyes, and none of them fell on his path.
In the blink of an eye, Kaito had rushed in front of the giant snake.
He suddenly stopped on the spot, then the white wings behind him spread out suddenly and flew straight up.
The giant snake in front of him was enduring Blue's attack and wanted to open its bloody mouth to bite Kaito, but he easily dodged it.
Kaito flew to the top of the giant snake and saw Orochimaru who was hiding behind the giant snake at a glance.
Kaito then revealed a sinister smile, pointed the tip of the Shinsō in his hand at the giant snake's head, which raised its head again and opened its mouth to rush towards him.
"White Style: Absolute Zero!"
"Boom~"
The violent white flames spread instantly, engulfing everything in sight.
However, Kaito, who was flying in the air with good vision, noticed that at the last moment, Orochimaru suddenly spit out a long sword from his mouth.
As soon as the Kusanagi sword appeared, it immediately grew rapidly in length and pierced into the ground.
The rapidly increasing reaction force also pushed Orochimaru backwards quickly.
Although being pushed on the head by such a huge force might break a few teeth or even cause a concussion.
But this lightning speed ultimately helped Orochimaru avoid this horrific attack.
Of course, Orochimaru, who escaped the disaster, could not expect to pull out the Kusanagi sword in his mouth that was frozen inside the iceberg for a while.
At the same time.
On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised a wall of earth to block Blue's covering attack.
After seeing Kaito launching an attack on Orochimaru, he immediately placed the iron stick in his hand at his side.
He quickly formed seals with both hands.
"Fire Style: Fire. Puff——"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was staring at Kaito and preparing to use ninjutsu, didn't notice it at all.
Just now, Blue, who was still in the air, had a large amount of white flames burst out from behind him, and he turned into a white fire meteor again.
It crashed straight into the earth wall standing in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen from the air.
This was an earth wall that was hastily erected. It was completely unable to withstand Blue's kick from the sky and exploded on the spot.
Blue, who had smashed the earth wall, continued to move forward and kicked Sarutobi Hiruzen hard.
The fire-style ninjutsu that was originally going to be spit out from his mouth turned directly into a mouthful of blood gushing out.
With this kick, Sarutobi Hiruzen was kicked into a horizontal "V" shape and hit the thick iron rod beside him.
Fortunately, the 'iron rod' reacted quickly enough.
White smoke burst out and quickly turned into a white monkey over two meters tall wearing a tiger-skin vest.
He hugged Sarutobi Hiruzen who was kicked.
The white monkey plowed two long traces under its feet, and flew back several meters with Sarutobi Hiruzen before stopping.
Seeing this, Blue didn't want to fight anymore. He did two backflips to create distance between them again, and then he jumped next to Kaito in a flash.
And at this time.
Kaito, whose wings had already dispersed, fell to the ground.
He looked casually at Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen who were forced back by him and Blue respectively.
There was a playful sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"That was my mistake. I didn't expect that both of you would be in your true form this time."
Faced with Kaito's ridicule, the master and disciple did not retaliate.
Sarutobi Hiruzen just looked solemnly at Kaito and the summoned beast next to him, which was very different from what was reported.
Orochimaru, who had just thrown away his weapon, licked his lips subconsciously.
He looked back and forth between Kaito and Blue.
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly put his right arm back into place which had been dislocated by Blue's kick.
The Monkey King Enma at the side also transformed into the 'Adamantine Staff' once again and fell back into Sarutobi Hiruzen’s hand.
With this small battlefield briefly coming to an end.
“Swish~swish~swish~”
Dozens of Konoha ninjas rushed over and instantly appeared behind Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Hokage-sama, are you alright?"
When these people saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in a somewhat embarrassed state at the moment, they immediately wanted to go forward and fight with Kaito.
However, before they could make any move, Orochimaru stopped them immediately.
"Everyone, retreat! Don't approach this battlefield!"
After shouting this sentence.
Orochimaru licked his lips, looked at Kaito opposite him, and spoke.
"That's not right, Mirukawa-san."
"The move you used before can devour other people's chakra, right!"

Chapter 303: Bond! Evolution!
Kaito rushed into the Hidden Mist Jutsu holding Blue, and quickly treated him under the protection of two Ice Flame clones.
All means of healing, including Potion, Ice Heal, Military Ration Pills, and Healing Ninjutsu, were used.
Seeing his master suddenly panic and lose his composure.
The little frog felt helpless but also somewhat touched.
In fact, Blue's injuries were not too serious, as Kaito's impact in the air had already dissipated a lot of his force.
On the contrary, the frostbite caused to Blue by the burning ice flame in his own Flame White Mode was slightly more serious.
This is also why Kaito was a little confused.
"Gua~e"
Blue stretched out his little hand and comforted Kaito a little.
Kaito was relieved when he saw that his little frog seemed to be fine.
But just now, Blue was vomiting blood and had frostbite in many places, which really looked a bit too miserable.
It was not until this time that Kaito started taking drugs to replenish his chakra and heal his injuries.
Feeling the information sent back by the Ice Flame clone that was shattered from time to time outside, Kaito also had a headache.
He had never been able to squander chakra like this before, so naturally he had no experience in creating so many clones at once.
Kaito never considered it at all.
When the clones are destroyed at the same time, the information transmitted back will be so messy.
This caused him to lose focus for a moment on the battlefield, and he was accidentally attacked by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Fortunately, this is just a mistake made due to experience.
For Kaito, who used to be faced with the possibility of system achievement prompts popping up at any time even during battles, and had experienced countless times of being instilled with massive amounts of knowledge by the system.
The two previous information flow shocks were enough for him to adapt to this state.
Next, there is no need to worry about not being able to continue using this method of massive clones on the battlefield.
"But the Ice Flame clone is indeed a little weak."
Kaito rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
Since the 'Ice Flame Clone' cannot inherit its own numerous abilities and the acupressure amplification blessing, it only has Kaito's own basic qualities and half of his chakra.
At best, he can be considered an ordinary jonin who masters the White Style Technique, or even slightly weaker.
When facing strong men like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru, if it weren't for the means of mutual destruction such as "Absolute Zero", they could only serve as a restraining force.
If too many clones use "self-destruction", he may have to worry about accidentally hurting "his own people".
"Forget it, there's no point in going through so much trouble to beat these two guys!"
Both Sarutobi Hiruzen and the current Orochimaru are at the level of Kage, who have many tricks but whose limits can be seen at a glance.
In this kind of battlefield environment, with Kaito's speed and recovery ability, he can easily kill these two guys even if he tries to outlast them.
Otherwise, before the war, he would not have confidently said that he would deal with all the strong enemies by himself.
Now all he has to think about is how to deal with the other party as quickly as possible.
Thinking of this, Kaito stood up and prepared to go out to continue the previous battle.
However, Blue behind him suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Looking back, he actually saw an unprecedented strong fighting spirit in the little guy's eyes.
However, Kaito was a little hesitant.
His current combat mode is indeed not suitable for cooperation with his companions.
Even the other ninjas of the Kirigakure were told before the battle to stay away from the area where Kaito was.
However, just when he was about to refuse cruelly.
Looking at the little guy's eyes, Kaito's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.
"Bang bang bang~"
As his heart beat violently, Kaito seemed to be able to feel the heartbeat of his most loyal companion.
"Bang bang bang~"
The deafening sound of the heartbeat seemed to fill his entire body.
The heartbeat was still getting stronger and stronger, and the man and the frog seemed to have reached some kind of synchronization at this moment.
Kaito subconsciously stretched out his hand and held Blue's little hand.
"Bang bang bang~"
"Flame White Mode! Activate!"
"Flame White Mode! Activate!"
As the words fell.
A raging white flame quickly emerged from the palms of the man and the frog, and then rose up.
In the blink of an eye, it quickly spread outward, enveloping Kaito and Blue.
"Boom!"
Pure white flames shot up into the sky, and endless icy air waves exploded from the center, causing the earth to crack. The surrounding mist was all blown away, and the bright sunshine and white flames complemented each other.
The next moment.
The flames quickly contracted inward, the air currents reversed, and the sky became silent.
If it weren't for the crystal snowflakes constantly falling all around, it would seem that everything that happened before was just an imaginary illusion.
However, it is different from before.
After the flames shrank, Kaito simply entered the Flame White Mode state.
But Blue's appearance has changed a lot.
The little frog, which used to be dark blue and light yellow, was now completely replaced by flawless white, except for a slightly darker gray cross extending from the top of his head between his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose.
White flames rose from the egg-yolk-colored joints at the elbows and knees.
Even the two wing-like ears turned into the shape of burning flames.
There was even a huge cross-shaped ice flame shuriken behind him.
"Bond Evolution!!" x2
The two Ice Flame clones who had always been guarding Kaito were staring at the scene in front of them in amazement and shouted in unison.
However, Kaito's real body, which had already communicated with Blue's mind at this moment, was not surprised at all.
At this moment, Kaito could clearly feel that not only was his spirit in sync with Blue's, but the degree of their tacit understanding exceeded 100%.
The chakra, speed, strength and other attributes of the man and the frog are all blessed at the same frequency.
Even Kaito's physical strength, which had been consumed due to continuous fighting and not yet closing the "acupressure", was mostly replenished by Blue.
And somehow, Kaito also clearly realized that this kind of sharing of the same frequency was not a one-time thing.
As long as they maintain this state, every contact between the man and the frog can redistribute their respective consumption.
After acquiring the 'Bitter Blade', Kaito, who is close to a perpetual motion machine on the battlefield, can supply Blue with chakra and physical strength infinitely.
At the same time, Blue's unparalleled terrifying speed also makes Kaito's attributes even better.
Feeling each other's surging fighting spirit, the man and the frog smiled at each other.
"Come on, buddy! We can fight together again!"
'Yes~Kaito! ╰(*︶`*)╯'
"Bang~"
The two explosions merged into one, and white flames around the man and the frog instantly exploded backwards.
Then the two figures suddenly accelerated, turning into two white fire meteors dragging out long tail flames, breaking through the mist and rushing out, disappearing.
The two Ice Flame clones that were previously responsible for guarding were left behind.
Looking at the two parallel ice paths left behind by the white flames across the ground.
They couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
Then they reacted suddenly and ran out quickly.
"Wait! I haven't gotten in the car yet!" x2
---------------
Author- “Wait! I haven't gotten in the car yet”, explain the problem that the clone cannot inherit abilities.
It is clearly stated that the Wood clone is different from other clones because it is created by splitting some cells in the body.
This is also why the wood clone does not shatter at the slightest touch, and Uchiha Madara can also use the clone to cast Susanoo (although we don't know why the Impure World Body has cells).
The Ice White Flame Clone I set here is a clone between the Shadow Clone and the Wood Clone.
It is stronger than the normal clone, and can perform the Flame White Mode and White Style with Ice Flame. However, it does not have the characteristics of "Anticipation", "Keen Eyes", and "Acupressure Bonus".
Unless the protagonist can develop "Gale Wings" into a ninjutsu in the future, there will be no such thing.
That's about it.
Then let's talk about the transmission of consciousness. Originally, these clones were able to play a reconnaissance role, and they would transmit information back when they dissipated.
In unfamiliar situations, several clones were blown up at the same time, and a lot of information was transmitted back. The protagonist was not used to it, but he should be able to accept it, right?
I know everyone doesn't like to see the protagonist get humiliated, but can you please not call me T for Blue's sake?

Chapter 302: Injured
"White Style: Ice Flame Clone"
Kaito, who just killed two Konoha ninjas.
Just like that, under Orochimaru's astonished gaze, two white flame clones were created again.
Orochimaru, who had been only slightly serious at first, suddenly changed his expression upon seeing this scene, and rushed towards Kaito regardless of everything.
However.
"White Style: Powder Snow" x2
Two newly generated 'Kaito' blocked in front of the main body at the same time, quickly forming seals with their hands and spitting out cold air to intercept.
And the real body of Kaito behind them didn't even look at the results of this attack.
The figure teleported away from the spot again, while continuing to mutter.
"Haha, you like clones? Then I'll give you more!"
Chakra doubled!
White Style: Bitter Blade!
White Style: Ice flame clone!
White Style: Bitter Blade!
In an instant, Kaito's figure moved frantically on the battlefield.
If he is running low on energy, he will use the Bitter Blade to kill the Konoha ninjas and absorb their life energy to recover.
If chakra is insufficient, Acupuncture can be used to forcibly extract physical strength and convert it into chakra.
Relying on his unparalleled speed and reaction ability, Kaito can roam freely on the battlefield.
Completely ignoring Orochimaru who was as difficult to deal with as a loach behind him, no one could stop Kaito's efficient killing.
Ordinary Konoha ninjas, even the jonin, would find it difficult to survive more than three moves at the hands of Kaito.
In just a few moments, more than thirty 'Kaito' appeared, with pure white flames all over their bodies.
Except for a few clones who joined forces to deal with Orochimaru, playing the game of guessing whether I am the real body.
The other clones all scattered.
From time to time, an iceberg would appear rising from the ground above the battlefield.
If it weren't for the fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru were bombed several times without any good results, the battle would have ended long ago.
But now Kaito is also happy about it.
Doing this by himself doesn't cost much.
It not only held back the two top enemy warriors, but also continued to cause damage to the Konoha ninjas. Why not do it?
More importantly.
Although in order to avoid accidental injuries, Kaito's clone usually consumes more than half of his chakra before rushing into the crowd and self-destructing.
But every once in a while, a small iceberg more than ten meters in size would appear, and Konoha's morale was actually on the verge of collapse.
All the ninjas in Konoha are in danger now.
As soon as they see Kaito appear, no matter whether it is his real form or not, immediately scatter and run away.
This slowed down his physical recovery speed and killing efficiency.
Just when Kaito was about to use the Bitter Blade again to kill a Konoha ninja.
The 'Anticipation' in his mind suddenly issued a sharp warning.
Although on the battlefield, 'Anticipation' was always reminding Kaito, but this time the alarm was particularly strong.
Kaito gave up the enemy in front of him without saying a word.
He touched the ground with his toes and instantly left his original position.
"Boom!"
A giant fell down with a bang, and his huge fist wrapped in blue chakra flames actually sank directly into the ground.
The ground suddenly broke apart into pieces, and flying dirt and rocks hit Kaito's body, making a ding-ding sound.
"Fuck, I missed a monster!"
The one who attacked Kaito was a member of the Akimichi clan who performed the super expansion jutsu.
Originally, the several giants from the Akimichi clan on the battlefield were handed over to the Hozuki clan to deal with.
If the water bodies of the Hozuki Clan were affected by Kaito's self-destructive clone, they might be taken away accidentally without even using "Absolute Zero".
Therefore, Kaito never thought of getting close to them.
Kaito didn't know if there were not enough people or what, but they let such a big guy jump over.
However, this attack was not over yet. Kaito, who was retreating rapidly, immediately felt the mental defense barrier of "Safeguard" in his mind being gently touched.
At the same time, the Anticipation gave another reminder that the attack came from under his feet.
"Pig, Deer, Butterfly!"
Fortunately, the Yamanaka clan ninjas hiding in the dark were unable to control Kaito.
Kaito's figure flashed continuously and continued to fly backwards. The shadow attacking from under his feet could not keep up with his speed at all, so it had to stop chasing.
However, the opponent's giving up this attack does not mean that Kaito will spare them.
Before, the Akimichi clan ninja who performed the super expansion jutsu could retract his fist that was smashing the ground.
Behind him, an Ice Flame Clone of Kaito suddenly rushed out and jumped into the pit, hugging his heels enthusiastically.
The cheerful Ice Flame clone showed an excited smile on his face.
Afterwards, pure white flames surged violently around his body.
"White Style: Absolute Zero!"
"Boom~"
The pure white flame suddenly exploded, and the dazzling white light flashed, causing everyone around to subconsciously turn their heads away.
But the next moment.
When everyone turned around, the white flames dissipated, and a human-shaped iceberg with two pointed little hands suddenly appeared.
With the Akimichi Ninja frozen inside.
Although the amount of chakra of this ice flame clone was insufficient, part of the body of this Akimichi ninja was even exposed outside the iceberg.
But even this part of the body was still affected by the 'absolute zero' and turned into a giant ice sculpture.
Instead, it makes the iceberg look even more terrifying.
"Yuji!!" x2
The two ninjas who had previously teamed up to launch a surprise attack on Kaito rushed towards the iceberg with roars and wails.
However, just as the Nara clan ninja was about to move.
A figure suddenly appeared beside him and kicked him away.
The next moment.
The dazzling blade light pierced through a distance of dozens of meters and pierced through the place where the man had just stood.
"Pity."
At the other end of the blade, Kaito, who was holding the Shinsō, had a look of disappointment on his face.
If Orochimaru had not suddenly appeared to save the situation, this Nara clan ninja would have been unable to avoid this sneak attack.
Just when Kaito was about to retract his Shinsō and go forward to test Orochimaru to see if he was using a substitute or clone again.
'Anticipation' suddenly issued a sharp alarm.
But before he could dodge the next attack.
Several streams of information suddenly flooded into Kaito's mind at the same time.
Just as he was about to start, his brain became dazed for a moment because of the information flow.
The next moment.
A dark shadow flashed by.
Then came an incomparable force that slammed down on Kaito.
There was a loud "pong~" sound.
The air wave exploded, and the solid ice armor around Kaito's body broke into pieces.
The whole person was blasted into the air by this huge force, spinning wildly in the sky.
It was not until it flew about a hundred meters and hit something in the air that it barely stopped.
Severe pain came all over his body, and Kaito coughed up a large mouthful of blood.
However, he had no time to pay attention to his injuries and immediately turned around and hugged him.
"Blue!"
Just now, he was blasted into the air by Sarutobi Hiruzen's surprise attack with his Adamantine Staff.
It was Blue, who had been paying attention to the battle on Kaito's side. He quickly threw away his glider, appeared in his retreat path, and stopped him with his body.
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!”
Looking at Blue, who was also spitting blood and whose body was frozen into pieces of ice crystals due to the burning of his white flames, Kaito's expression was furious and ferocious!
At this moment, Kaito no longer cared about the battlefield.
He instantly exited the Flame White Mode, opened a pair of wind wings behind him, and flew towards the ground holding Blue.
At the same time.
Several ice flame clones that Kaito had released earlier, with the same ferocious looks, intercepted Kaito from behind.
Those Konoha ninjas who saw Kaito being knocked away and wanted to chase him immediately stopped in fear.
"Boom~", "Boom~", "Boom~", "Boom~".
The continuous sounds of explosions resounded throughout the entire battlefield. Endless raging white flames shot up into the sky, swallowing up all the pursuers in an instant.
Several huge icebergs rise from the ground and tower above the earth.
At the last moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru stopped in their tracks, feeling the cold air blowing in their faces and the large ice crystals that were about to spread to their feet. Their expressions became even more solemn.
And behind the iceberg.
Because several ice flame clones dissipated at the same time, Kaito, who was once again under the shock of information, paused slightly.
However, with the previous experience, Kaito recovered instantly.
He immediately picked up Blue and left the place.

Chapter 301 Do you like playing with clones?
At this time, Kaito, who was flying high in the sky, had already locked onto his target.
Although several Akimichi clan ninjas who performed super expansion jutsu appeared on the Konohagakure side and tried to disperse the mist above the battlefield with their body size.
However, Kaito had no time to pay attention to the other party.
These guys can be left to the members of the Hozuki clan who have cast the "Tate-Eboshi" and transformed into giant water monsters.
Kaito's target was the old man below, who was wearing a black tight combat suit and a strange metal-clipped hat.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!
This old guy had performed the Triple Rashomon with Orochimaru, and then disappeared.
It was not until Ao transformed into a giant three-tailed roller and wreaked havoc in the Konohagakure formation that he revealed his figure.
At this moment, he was holding the thick iron stick transformed from the summoning beast Monkey King Enma and pointing it at Ao's three-tailed body from a distance.
If it weren't for this huge iron rod, it would have been difficult for Kaito to find the other party among so many people outside.
Kaito locked onto his target, leaned forward and rushed downwards, the pair of flaming wings behind him accelerating, the Shinsō in his hand also aimed at the opponent's body.
"Shoot him! Sharpshooter!"
The person has not arrived yet, but the sword has arrived first.
The blade of the Shinsō flew out, crossing a distance of dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, piercing through Sarutobi Hiruzen's chest and piercing into the ground.
Then, because of Kaito's downward dive, the sword light quickly shattered and turned into specks of white light.
However, along with the Shinsō's blade light, what also shattered and exploded was Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose chest was pierced by the blade light.
Before Kaito landed on the ground.
The 'Sarutobi Hiruzen' in front of him exploded with a 'bang' and turned into a ball of white smoke.
‘Tsk, I knew it wouldn't be that simple!’
Fortunately, with the experience of fighting against Kage-level ninjutsu masters like Yagura, Kaito did not use his ultimate move to sweep the ground right away, wasting his chakra.
The next moment, the 'Anticipation' sent out a warning, and Kaito, who had not yet landed, flapped the wings behind him and left the original place in an instant.
The raging fire dragon passed by, bringing with it whistling heat waves and wind.
But when Kaito looked carefully, he found that the one attacking him was not the 'Sarutobi Hiruzen' from before.
It was Orochimaru.
Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared in another place, and the thick iron rod in his hand instantly extended dozens of meters, and he actually stopped the rapidly rolling Three-Tails.
"Haha, the old guy is quite strong."
Kaito dodged Orochimaru's attack once again without hesitation.
He just tapped on his chest with his thumb.
Chakra doubled, speed doubled, nerve reflexes doubled, all activated!
Violent air waves surged around the body, and even the ground began to crack inch by inch.
Seeing this, Orochimaru licked his lips excitedly.
"Little devil, you seem to have changed a lot?"
"You have to come and experience it yourself to see how big the changes are!"
There was no point in the exchange of words.
After saying this, white flames burst out from behind Kaito, and the whole person turned into a white afterimage and instantly rushed towards Orochimaru in front of him.
“Puff~”
The sharp blade passed by, and the head of Orochimaru flew off in front of him.
However, Kaito did not show any joy at all.
Because of the headless corpse, its color faded immediately, it turned into a body of mud and collapsed to the ground.
The next moment.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu"
Orochimaru emerged from the ground in the distance and spit out a huge hot fireball from his mouth towards Kaito.
However, Kaito was also well prepared.
"White Style: Powder Snow"
The surging fireball and the extremely cold air collided rapidly in the air, causing a violent air wave.
only.
With the collision of the two attacks.
The white flames mixed in with the 'Powder Snow' were gathering quickly.
Gradually it spread towards the fireball spit out by Orochimaru.
Although both of them continued to spit out their respective attacks, the fiery red fireball on the left had obviously begun to lose its strength and shrink.
Seeing this, Orochimaru stopped attacking immediately and quickly retreated.
"Boom~"
Having lost its 'opponent', the Powder Snow suddenly accelerated and spread forward rapidly.
In the blink of an eye.
The white flames that had been accumulating for a long time exploded above the earth, freezing everything it touched.
However, Kaito, who forced Orochimaru to retreat, did not choose to continue the pursuit.
Instead, he turned to look at the Three-Tails, who was being hit on the head by Sarutobi Hiruzen with a large iron rod.
"We can't go on like this."
After having the "Bitter Blade" trick, Kaito didn't mind continuing to drag on the battlefield with Orochimaru.
However, Ao, who has not yet fully mastered the power of the tailed beast, may not be able to hold back Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Thinking of this, Kaito quickly formed seals with his hands.
"White Style: Ice Flame Clone!"
Three white flames quickly split and fell to the ground, expanding into human shapes.
In the blink of an eye, they turned into three identical 'Kaito'.
And these three clones each took away a quarter of Kaito's chakra.
As soon as they appeared, they immediately burst into flames and turned into three meteors rushing towards Sarutobi Hiruzen in the distance.
Orochimaru, who had just dodged the attack of 'Kaito', watched the scene in front of him with interest.
"A physical clone similar to the Wood Clone? White Style? A Bloodline Limit I've never heard of. Or, Bloodline Selection?!"
"But even so, kid, do you have enough chakra?"
Faced with Orochimaru's question, Kaito had no interest in answering. Instead, he pointed his thumb at his chest again.
Double Chakra! Active!
"Bang~"
The aura around Kaito surged again, and the chakra in his body was instantly refilled.
Looking at the faintly visible blue veins on Kaito's body, and the violent airflow caused by the surge of chakra.
Orochimaru's expression on the opposite side immediately became solemn.
"Eight Gates?"
"Boom!"
The one who answered Orochimaru was Kaito, who crushed the ground and launched another charge.
Orochimaru saw Kaito rushing forward while quickly forming seals with his hands.
"White Style: Bitter Blade"
The pure white flame began to spread wildly downwards along Kaito's elbow.
The flames enveloped the short sword and the Shinsō in his hands, and were growing rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant white flaming sword more than three meters long.
Then, before Orochimaru in front of him could make any move.
Kaito, who was originally sprinting towards him, suddenly changed direction quickly and appeared in front of two Konoha ninjas who were back to back and covering each other in an instant.
The giant white flaming sword slashed down with a loud bang.
Before the two Konoha ninjas could figure out what was happening, they were cut into two pieces, and their bodies were instantly swallowed by white flames.
After taking the head, Kaito immediately felt a surge of life energy flowing into his body.
The blue veins on his body that were previously faintly visible were also fading rapidly.
Feeling his physical condition recover, Kaito looked at Orochimaru in the distance and grinned, then began to make seals with his hands again.
"You like playing with clones, don't you?"
"White Style: Ice Flame Clone!"
