"Is he dead?"
Shanks looked at the sky. The will of the World Government, which was completely different from the will of the new world, was no longer as sharp as it used to be. Instead, the red will had some connection.
This connection was not a merging, but simply no longer as opposed to each other as before. It also meant that the suppression of each other by the two wills was rapidly declining.
"Who died?"
"A very important person in the Land of Immortals on Earth."
"Genichi?"
Jiraiya immediately understood. The news had not yet arrived, but Shanks had already sensed something.
"Yes, he finally died."
Shanks nodded. Genichi was indeed a unique person.
As one of the carriers of the world's original will, Genichi's excellence was innate, reaching the limit of the world in all aspects.
"What a pity..."
Shanks shook his head. Although he did not take action, he knew very well how the other party died.
It was just a pity that such a person ultimately died in an unclear way.
No, it couldn't be said that he died in an unclear way. After all, he had done everything he could and arranged everything he could.
Shanks would not hold him back, nor would he take action at this time. Although he could see that this was definitely the best time to strike, there was no need.
In the area around the Red Earth Continent, the Navy's forces had already landed on the Red Earth Continent. Fukuda Kiyomu was leading many Immortals stationed in the border area.
The owner of the Empty Throne of the World Government had changed.
Genichi, with his own sacrifice, transferred all the past accumulation of the Ninja World to Fukuda Kiyomu, while severing all his future, thereby promoting the original will to move towards a new era.
Because the path originally taken by the original will was directly cut off by Genichi with his own sacrifice.
And Fukuda Kiyomu, who inherited the legacy, also understood the situation in the Ninja World, and even knew where Orochimaru was.
Orochimaru was not dead yet. It would take time to kill Orochimaru. He could also take this time to get rid of Orochimaru to prevent future troubles.
But he had no chance. He was not sure if Shanks would attack at this time.
He could only wait, waiting for the will of the Land of Earthly Immortals to completely stabilize.
Through a great war with Orochimaru, many unstable factors had also appeared within the World Government. The sacrifice was too great, the cost was too high, and many people simply couldn't react.
This required time, but their time was running out.
"Fleet Admiral Chiriku, are you ready?"
Fukuda Kiyomu asked. Regarding grand strategies, his vision was far inferior to Genichi's, but Chiriku was definitely a good hand.
"The Marines are all ready. We can push towards the center of the Red Earth Continent at any time now.
Although the will of the World Government is not stable enough, it is enough to maintain from being suppressed by the Red Earth Continent. There is no problem with this."
Chiriku replied simply. He was able to come into contact with this kind of great will.
Although there were few opportunities to take action, Chiriku's strength was really strong, and his talent in military affairs was also outrageous.
It could be said that in today's Ninja World, no one's talent in military affairs could compare with Chiriku's, not even Shanks.
Chiriku had a lot of practical experience and was a genius with a better brain than ordinary people.
A genius who was hardworking and didn't just talk on paper, what was there to compare?
So when Chiriku spoke, he was really ready to advance into the depths of the Red Earth Continent. He also knew that he had the ability to lead the Marines to attack the depths of the Red Earth Continent.
As for the results afterward, Chiriku had no certainty.
He was confident in suppressing Shanks militarily, but he was even more confident that that guy would never play tricks like that with them.
The smarter people were, the more they could see the terror of Shanks. That kind of person could no longer be said to be a person.
He completely followed the route of the general trend. All the strategies and plans didn't require much skill at all, they just crushed with the situation.
Chiriku was confident in commanding the Marines to attack, but it was really hard to say how many people would rebel by then.
Chiriku's plans were prepared for the Revolutionary Army, not for Shanks, but he was sure that as long as Shanks said a few words casually, whether it was the Marines or the Revolutionary Army, a bunch of people would definitely rebel.
The routes of the pirates and the Revolutionary Army were ultimately different. What Shanks had been doing all along was breaking the rules of the Ninja World, while what Chiriku was doing was, after these rules were broken and the World Government collapsed, how to establish a more perfect world.
The two could be said to be on the same path, but they could not be said to be friends.
"Wait a little longer, wait until it stabilizes before we talk.
The great ninja villages and nobles all need time to adapt. There is no need to rush to build a new holy land on the Red Earth Continent."
Fukuda Kiyomu did not let Chiriku send out troops. Chiriku also understood and nodded. He was fine with anything. Moreover, he could guess some things.
"It won't be easy to get them all to stabilize."
"I will take action."
Fukuda Kiyomu did not have so many plans and tricks. What he was best at was using violent means. Although doing so now might cost him a great price.
But obviously, this price had already been paid by Genichi for him.
Genichi's death was enough for Fukuda Kiyomu to go on a killing spree once, but now was not the time.
Chiriku also understood Fukuda Kiyomu's words and guessed it too.
"Okay, seven days. After seven days, we must attack.
Shanks has gathered many pirates around him. The Orochimaru pirate gang is powerful. Those pirates who stay by Shanks' side will only be stronger."
"The ninja villages and nobles cannot bear too much sacrifice, and we Marines cannot bear too much sacrifice either.
The Marines...are not to serve the nobles ninja villages or you."
Chiriku said. He didn't regard Fukuda Kiyomu as one of his own either. Everyone had their own plans.
Chiriku also knew what he needed to do. He belonged to the Marines, not to the nobles, Immortals, or ninja villages.
Now that Genichi was dead, Chiriku also needed to appropriately express his dissatisfaction with the World Government.
"That's enough!"
Fukuda Kiyomu nodded and then turned to leave.
Seven days was enough for those people to make a decision. If those people could not make a decision, then he would make the decision for them.
On the other side, outside the Red Earth Continent, as the battle reports of Orochimaru and the four great ninja villages and the situation in Konoha were published in the newspapers, the entire Ninja World fell into silence.
Even the battle in the Land of Demons had stopped.
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the shocking numbers in the newspaper. Even though he was already old and had experienced many things, his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"Thirty thousand war losses, just in one encounter battle? The four great ninja villages lost more than thirty thousand troops directly? How is that possible? How could there be so many?"
The Third Hokage was a little unbelievable.
Thirty thousand troops was equivalent to all the troops of one village being gone directly ah.
Although after the new era, the ninja villages had expanded their armies, the distribution of troops also needed to be arranged. Thirty thousand was already a very large number.
You know, in the Fourth Shinobi World War in the story, there were only one hundred thousand White Zetsu.
And this time, thirty thousand people died directly in the encounter battle.
Looking at Orochimaru, who had reforged his body and soul, in the newspaper, the Third Hokage felt a sense of majesty and suppression from his disciple.
The current Orochimaru was like a monarch, already possessing the demeanor of looking down on all living beings. He had completely gotten rid of his previous appearance.
"Fourth Hokage, do you have any ideas?"
The First Kazekage asked. Among these people, he was most optimistic about the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato. Although the other party was young, he was extremely intelligent. He was completely different from his own disgraceful Fourth Kazekage.
"Some. The scale of war in this era is completely different. In the previous Shinobi World Wars, even in the Warring States Period that lasted for hundreds of years, or even further back, in thousands of years of history, perhaps this kind of war had never appeared."
"Compared with this era, those so-called wars are at most riots. If there were people like Shanks, those so-called wars would not break out at all."
"Not to mention someone like Shanks, even someone like Lord Reto...given some time, could quell that kind of riot."
Minato said. No matter how much he adapted to the current world, he still felt that it was ridiculously excessive.
"Uh..."
Reto didn't know what to say after hearing Minato's descriptions. Although his words were all praising himself, what did you mean by "even"? Ah? As expected, he was an impolite junior.
"There's also another thing, and that is...the fighting will of these people exceeds the scope of normal people. Even the ninja of the past could not have done this. Under the circumstances of war losses close to one-third in the encounter battle, they can still retreat so steadily and even want to continue fighting with the enemy."
"That's right, this is also the difference in this era."
Reto nodded. The intensity of the fighting will was completely different.
It could be seen from the battlefield of the Land of Demons that even the fighting will of ordinary Marines was outrageous.
And what about the pirates? Other things were okay, but those pirates holding the "Red Hair Pirates" flag were really a bit too much. Heaven knows why those pirates are so strong.
I heard that some time ago, that group of pirates also encountered the "Moryo" who has become a demon. The completely demonized Moryo was also leading his own army, but the army was directly dismantled by that group of pirates. Moryo, who had already been demonized, even left an arm behind and ran away.
"What's different? The Uchiha Clan has always been like this, right?"
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who was being neglected to the side, rolled his eyes. As soon as he spoke, the Third Hokage, who had already been resurrected with Edo Tensei, had an even darker face.
Seeing the corner of the newspaper about the encounter battle of Konoha, the loss was not too serious, but the fighting parties were different.
"The Uchiha Clan...was used by someone. They were all Edo Tensei-d."
The Third Hokage could only squeeze out this sentence in the end.
But at this time, someone else appeared. They were the Kages of other villages who had been resurrected with Edo Tensei. Everyone was holding a newspaper in their hands, and their faces were also full of worry.
But when they saw the Third Hokage, the worry on their faces disappeared.
"So this is the Third Hokage ah!"
"Not bad, not bad, Tobirama did not misunderstand the person."
"Um, I also think...Konoha is really powerful."
Listening to the ridicule of the other Kages, not to mention the Third Hokage, even Minato could only lower his head silently.
This was no longer a simple loss of face, Minato had to have some face.
As for the Third Hokage...
"You, you..."
The Third Hokage almost didn't catch his breath. He was resurrected with Edo Tensei, but he was angered half to death.
"Okay, let's put aside the grievances between you for now.
Latest news, the Ninja World...the White Zetsu are in chaos. All the White Zetsu have developed self-awareness and broken free from control. The entire Ninja World is in chaos."
Kabuto and Kimimaro had both come over. Kabuto took out the latest information.
As the war situation on the Red Earth Continent appeared, all the White Zetsu in the entire Ninja World had rebelled. This time, the Ninja World was completely out of control.
"This is the latest indictment against Gato: launching the Shinobi World War, secretly commanding the White Zetsu rebellion, attempting to subvert the World Government."
"This kind of thing can only be done by Gato, but we also need to seize this opportunity. So, let's first contact Gato and clarify the current situation in the Ninja World."
Kabuto looked at everyone, especially at Reto. Reto was a new addition and was considered their ally. The power of this ally was still very trustworthy.
Reto supported his forehead. What should come, will come.
However, it was not the first time, so it was okay to come again.
"The Fourth Shinobi World War has broken out? Is this considered it?"
