Chapter 164 The Storm Is Brewing
The disappearance of Naruko's clones plunged the four Kage and Nagato into an eerie silence. If the shadow clones are this difficult to deal with, how terrifying must Naruko herself be?
If they initially thought Naruto's announcement of the Fourth Shinobi World War was somewhat presumptuous, they now believe that Naruto has the ability to single-handedly wage the war.
"Everyone, I'll take care of the last two Otsutsuki. It's time for you to head back."
Orochimaru said calmly that she did not intend to get involved. Having thoroughly studied the Rinnegan, she was already able to resist the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Even if the Infinite Tsukuyomi were to be activated in the ninja world, Ouroboros could still remain unscathed. They could even use missiles to directly blast the moon apart, violently ending the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Besides, she knew that Naruko couldn't really keep using Infinite Tsukuyomi forever. Naruko didn't want to become a god at all; she just wanted to bring Ningxia back.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment and finally decided to return to their respective ninja villages to prepare for Naruto's declaration of war.
Shisui, who had just returned to Konoha, received Hinata's message about Ningxia's dream of Hanabi, which further solidified Shisui's resolve.
Ningxia clearly didn't want to act recklessly, otherwise why would she have returned to Konoha to ask for a dream?
But... why not just ask Yumengko directly?
She didn't have time to think too much; now she had to start mobilizing the entire nation.
With the blessing of the Ningxia Notes recorded by Yugao, Shisui's Fire Country and Wind Country flourished every day, contributing the most ninjas.
Secondly, there is Kumogakure, whose economy is booming thanks to the daimyo constitutional system and the infrastructure and railway projects that Orochimaru invested in.
The remaining Land of Water and Land of Earth are also in good condition. After all, without the parasite Daimyo, they can devote more resources to the war.
They managed to assemble a combined army of 200,000 ninjas. Even if Naruto were the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, he would have to think twice before facing so many ninjas.
In the Land of Iron, Naruko had already taken control of the country before declaring war. She tapped the table lightly, awaiting the arrival of her army.
"Is this... another world?"
Sakazuki stepped out of the portal and looked at this place, so different from his own. He could clearly sense that the power of this world was far inferior to that of his own.
"Sakazuki, is the army ready?"
Naruko looked at Sakazuki. During her two years in the pirate world, she had trained a group of 300,000 Marines who started as Chunin with basic skills.
Two-thirds of them were scattered in various places, guarding different countries with a system of veterans leading new recruits, while the remaining 100,000 were summoned to participate in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
"They are all from respectable families, is what you're doing really right?"
Sakazuki knew all along that Naruko was going to start a war. He didn't want to fight, but since Naruko was determined to fight, no one could stop her.
After all, the current system of the One Piece world was created by Naruto himself.
Undeniably, during the two years of unifying all the countries, Naruko almost fulfilled all the requirements of a ruthless and wise ruler.
But now, the thought of Naruko leading her elite soldiers into a meaningless war for the sake of a man makes him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I did everything I promised, Sakazuki, we made a deal."
Naruko tapped the table lightly. This was an agreement, and even the Fleet Admiral couldn't refuse it.
"..."
Sakazuki stood silently beside Naruko, indicating that he would keep his promise.
Both sides began their own mobilization efforts, and Naruko was also preparing to execute her own plan.
Naruko performs hand seals to summon the Gedo Mazo, but she finds that the Gedo Mazo is summoned away as soon as it is summoned.
Raising an eyebrow, Naruko knew that Nagato was interfering with her; everyone had the Rinnegan and could summon the Gedo Mazo.
But... my eye power is superior to yours!
Naruko formed hand seals again and forcibly interrupted Nagato's summoning.
In the Land of Rain, Nagato coughed up blood with a "whoosh!" She hadn't expected Naruko's eye power to be so terrifying. Even though they both had the Rinnegan, Naruko's eyes were far superior to hers.
Then, Naruko placed the tailed beasts into the Gedo Mazo in order: the first to the seventh tailed beast, half of the eighth tailed beast, and the complete nine-tailed beast.
Although it's still a little short, if we just wait a little longer, the other half of the Eight-Tails will return to us.
"Naruko..."
Gaara was shocked to witness Naruto become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki. Although she still only had one Rinnegan, Naruto's eye had surpassed the normal Rinnegan, allowing her to perfectly enter Six Paths Sage Mode.
"Is this the power of the Sage of Six Paths? No... it's not enough..."
Naruko frowned. While Six Paths level strength was indeed formidable, she believed Zuo Yue would catch up; she needed to become even stronger…
On the other side, Obito captured two pure-bodied evil women and once again conjured Indra and Ashura from the Edo Tensei.
Naruko has gone mad; perhaps only these two can stop her.
"Another Edo Tensei?"
Indra was somewhat surprised, as she had thought that her last reincarnation in the mortal realm was her last appearance in the world of the living.
"Obito? Why did you call us out again?"
Ashura was also puzzled. Seeing this, Obito told them to wait until Nagato used Rinne Rebirth before explaining to them.
"Please, Nagato."
Obito looked at Nagato, who nodded and formed hand seals to use the Samsara technique to completely revive the already dead Indra and Ashura.
"What about Ningxia? I... I mean... he should have returned to his own time by now, right?"
Indra asked instinctively, but quickly added an explanation to avoid Obito misunderstanding.
"Brother Ningxia..."
After a moment of silence, Obito explained what happened after the two women were freed from the Impure World Reincarnation. Upon learning what had happened next, Indra and Ashura turned green with shock.
"No need to say anything more. Since Ningxia hasn't returned yet, let us discipline that Naruto for him!"
Indra said angrily, then looked at Asura with eyes full of disdain.
"As expected of the reincarnation of your chakra, you're still just as much of an idiot!"
"Hey! Sister, that's really hurtful what you're saying!"
"Aren't you an idiot? Look at what she's done. I told you you should have listened to me. The Ninja Clan you took over will only prolong the war."
"How can you blame me for this?"
"Isn't that right? Can your so-called great love stop the killing? The ninja world needs the power to suppress the riots!"
"Izuna is your descendant! Who did she inherit her eccentricities from?"
"It's been like this for generations, how can you blame me?"
Seeing the two sisters arguing, one with red eyes and the other about to clap her hands, Obito quickly intervened to mediate, as she needed the two girls' help to go somewhere.
For Obito's sake, the two women put aside their differences and followed him to the depths of the underground.
This place is filled with various seals and countermeasures; it is impossible for anyone other than the Six Paths to open it.
Both sisters were at the Six Paths level during their lifetimes; one inherited the Six Paths Sage's talent, and the other inherited his power.
Therefore, after a series of trials and tribulations, the seal was successfully broken.
