Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: The Red Retreats

Master Genichi's tone was much lighter at this point, but what he said was true. From now on, all immortals of the world government who joined the Earthly Immortal Country, even if they only had a slight connection to it, would directly enter the Earthly Immortal Country after death.

All the power from their lives would be accumulated in the huge Earthly Immortal Country consciousness, using the deaths of ninja world immortals to strengthen everything in the Earthly Immortal Country.

"After this war, the system of world nobles that has been left behind is completely broken, and the path to becoming an immortal is also fully opened.

To become a world noble is to have the talent of a natural immortal, favored by the will of the world."

"Either become a foundation stone after death, or become a reverse immortal, or... have power exceeding mine."

Fukuda Kiyomu didn't share Master Genichi's ease.

His eyes were burning, still shining brightly beneath the shadow of his white hair.

"Do you think I can hold them down?"

"If you can stop Shanks, you can hold them down. If you can't? Then that means someone among us has appeared who can compete with Shanks.

But... how could such a great person appear so easily?"

Master Genichi waved his hand. Since Sage of Six Paths had already appeared, he naturally understood Shanks' importance.

"Shanks has opened a path for all of us. Each door has a corresponding lock. We're all thinking about how to unlock the locks, but in reality, we just need to break down the door."

"Many people understand, but they are the door itself, they can't do it. Since that's the case, we'll choose for them."

At this point, it was clear what Master Genichi was doing.

Sage of Six Paths is strong, not in power, but in skill, so strong that even Master Genichi can't see where Sage of Six Paths' limit is.

The most obvious thing is that Sage of Six Paths' own strength is not as strong as Shanks, but he can provoke the will of the world in various ways and still live well.

So, breaking the contract between Sage of Six Paths and these immortals is actually very difficult.

When he saw the power in Naruto and Sasuke, Master Genichi understood that it wouldn't be so easy to break.

However, since the contract is for both sides, if one side no longer exists, or if one side is no longer the original party, then the original contract will naturally no longer exist.

As for supporting the ninjas, if Sage of Six Paths can trust the ninjas, why can't they?

In this war, everyone has placed different bets, and everyone sees completely different benefits.

But there is only one person who doesn't need to place any bets, won't get any benefits, and won't lose.

The real bookmaker of this war—Shanks.

Although he doesn't know Shanks' backup plan, Master Genichi does know that Shanks won't lose.

The spirit of the New World's overlord isn't that simple. As far as they're concerned, even if Golden Lion appears, the real Four Emperors is only that man.

Just waiting there, waiting for the power of this world to challenge him.

At first glance, it seems like that's all it is, but in reality, even Kaguya, who invaded in the past, didn't dare to do this. Kaguya was beaten down.

But in reality, even though she was beaten down, Kaguya still had the advantage, having advantage inside the Divine Tree area.

If you're talking about the presence of a big bad guy, she has that.

As for Shanks, Shanks has the ability to be a big bad guy, but he doesn't want to be. As a result, even if you don't want to be, you'll still be caught out by people in the end. This guy is definitely a big bad guy type.

Unlike normal big bad guys, who fight against the world alone, Shanks is forcing the entire world to fight against him.

And this world can only follow in the footsteps of the big bad guy.

In just one day, the entire ninja world seemed to be quiet, except for the Land of Demons.

Furido's adjustments and plans for the entire Navy began to be put into motion at this time. All the battlefields in the ninja world, under the pressure of the Navy, began to shrink towards Red Line.

At this moment, Furido was really doing this operation with his "Great Buddha" form. Furido had reached the height of Devil Fruit Awakening.

Without any training between life and death, without any fierce battles or conflicts, Furido awakened naturally.

The great wisdom and world-saving ambitions represented in the divinity of the "Great Buddha" were completely displayed by Furido, using the awakened "Great Buddha" fruit to implement actions of saving the world.

Saving the world and saving Blue Star have never been a matter for one person. Furido has never felt that he alone could have such ability.

But it was precisely because of this that he was able to awaken the Great Buddha fruit and see the layout of the entire world in this form.

So, the huge layout has far exceeded the limits of any one person, and Furido believes in the Revolutionary Army.

"All Vice Admirals, set sail immediately."

"For justice!"

"For justice!!"

The Navy headquarters was packed with people. The white uniforms made the Navys look more like the waves of the sea, and their voices and momentum were equally loud.

Furido stood at the very front of a huge warship, facing all the Navy in his huge Buddha form, with the huge characters of "Justice" printed on the cape behind him.

How could Furido not understand all the arrangements that Shikaku made in the past?

Justice should not be controlled by certain people. Since this war has already begun, let's completely reshuffle this world.

"Navys, carry out the justice in your hearts!"

"This battle is not for anyone, but for all of us, for justice."

Furido spoke passionately in his Buddha form, his voice like a loud bell, resounding in the hearts of every Navy soldier.

After that, bursts of loud shouts came from within the Navys, their morale as high as flames.

Furido turned around to face the sea, the ship started, the wind raised the sails, and steam and black smoke rose from the chimney.

In the roar of this era, Furido's heart was particularly calm.

"One day, you will all understand.

Everyone I'm talking about doesn't just mean you, it also includes them."

"Justice and power will not be controlled in the hands of certain people. It's just that the foundation of this great era must be paved by us personally."

Death? Not worth regretting.

Furido was afraid that he wouldn't be able to die in the right place, afraid that even if he died in this era with such spirit and wisdom, people would not know him in thousands of years.

Not knowing what the heroes of this era were fighting for.

He was afraid that the foundation laid by such a great era was not solid enough, unable to build a tall building on top of it.

But sacrifices are always necessary.

Furido looked in the direction of Red Line in the New World.

When everyone in the world is facing that direction and rushing towards that man, it proves that the other party has succeeded.

Whether they are enemies or friends, as more and more people rush to Shanks, Shanks will only stand higher and higher.

Shanks said that he was just standing on the shoulders of giants, but Furido didn't see the giants. He saw all living beings. All living beings rushed towards that man, so all living beings are the giants.

"Depart!"

With this departure, the red spreading from the New World began to be slowly squeezed back.

The red began to retreat, the red belonging to Shanks was slowly disappearing.

The five village leaders of the five great ninja villages, who are also the "Five Elder Stars," have all set off.

All the ninja clans that remained in the five ninja villages were dispatched, and all the remaining personnel were dispatched, leaving only some people with little combat power to stay behind.

Ninja clans are always the greatest power of the village.

But under this situation, no one dared to take any action. Even the petty theft that would normally occur disappeared.

The entire world seemed to be quiet. Everyone was quiet. Everyone knew what kind of drastic changes were happening in this world.

The underground black market's newspapers seemed to never stop, reporting news every day.

"The Land of Thunder's sea train has started. 150,000 elite Navys from the Land of Thunder have all been dispatched."

"The Land of Thunder's Five Elder Star A leads 100,000 elite from Kumogakure to set off and establish a holy land on Red Line."

"Kumogakure's Chakra cannon is put into use. Eight tailed beast-type battleships are dispatched."

"..."

The nobles of the Land of Thunder set off with their troops. At the same time, almost all the power in Kumogakure was also dispatched.

Since Chakra storage devices have been put into large-scale use, the development of Chakra cannons has also been completed.

This thing is very costly, because tailed beast bombs cannot be withstood by just anything. Basically, firing one will destroy it.

But a great country has enough money to spend and enough capital to fight a war of attrition.

That is the power of a great country, the power of the world nobles, the power of the true masters of this world.

And that doesn't even include the immortals.

Besides the Land of Thunder, it's the same in the Land of Fire.

"The Land of Fire's Daimyo, the Land of Fire nobles lead troops across Uzumaki Bridge, departing from the Land of Waves."

"The Five Elder Star's Fire Star, Tsunade, leads 200,000 elite from Konoha across Uzumaki Bridge."

"The head of Konoha's strongest ninja clan, the Hyuga clan's Hiashi, gathers all 2,300 members of the clan, determined to protect the peace of the world government."

"Konoha's Nara clan, Yamanaka clan..."

"..."

The ninja clans of Konoha were also featured in the newspapers.

The number of people and troops dispatched from Kumogakure was already outrageous, but Konoha's was even more outrageous.

In addition to these two villages, what is even more noteworthy is Kirigakure.

"The Five Elder Star's Water Star, Terumi Mei, leads the team to set off.

Three pirate groups surrounding the Land of Water announce their dissolution and join Kirigakure."

"The Utakata Pirates, a pirate group on the edge of the Land of Waves, announces its entry into Kirigakure..."

"..."

Compared to the other villages, Kirigakure had more news about pirate groups and ability users.

But anyone with eyes could see that Kirigakure and the Land of Water had been planning for a long time, just bringing it out at this time.

In Iwagakure Village, as Onoki led people away, the "Four Tails" Jinchuriki "Roshi", who had long been out training, also returned to the village.

In Sunagakure Village, no one was left behind.

Or rather, there were not many people left behind on the surface. At least here, you can't see many ninjas.

"Timothy, will we die in this war?"

"I don't know, but what we did in the past has really reached the time to atone for it."

Temujin replied. The four of them were the four who followed Hyde back from "overseas."

After the "Grael Stone" explosion in the Land of Wind, the four of them were imprisoned by Sunagakure Village.

And now, they have also become people of Sunagakure Village.

Each village left some people behind.

Konoha even directly left Kakashi and Guy behind.

After this battle, no matter what the result, Konoha's Hokage will become Kakashi. No matter what the result, all ninja clans must no longer interfere in all affairs of Konoha.

Konoha only has ninjas who don't belong to any clan left. The power of the ninja clans has completely disappeared. This is the last thing Shikaku can do, and it is the only thing he can do.

The major ninja clans will not give up Konoha, but from now on, they will no longer be able to interfere in Konoha's core. And what is being given to Kakashi now is the purest ninja village that once existed.

At the same time, on a peninsula north of the Land of Water, Zabuza and his group were still eating grilled fish by the lake. There was a wooden house by the lake, looking dilapidated.

Not far away, there was also a grave, with a broken samurai sword standing on the grave.

"Boss, that sword was all in pieces before, but now it's all standing up. Should we..."

"Should we what?"

Zabuza said warily. His subordinates had been eyeing his sword for more than a day or two.

As for why the broken sword could recover and even stick together by itself, who knows?

But Zabuza wasn't curious at all, because his big sword could grow back even if it was broken.

There are too many strange swords in this world, it's normal.

And Zabuza also learned some things from Amado. Weapons or vehicles can carry the will of their masters and give birth to something similar to life.

It may even be possible in the future to give some weapons the ability to use simple Devil Fruits.

Zabuza wasn't sure about this, but he was sure that Kisame's Samehada could definitely eat Devil Fruits.

So Zabuza wasn't curious about that ordinary samurai sword in the distance.

"That guy Jin has been back to deliver the message for so long, why hasn't he returned yet?"

"You guys didn't make holes in the sake barrel, did you?"

Zabuza looked at everyone.

"Boss, could something have happened to Jin? It always feels dangerous to cross the sea in a sake barrel."

"Could he have been eaten by a Sea King?"

Sea Kings aren't dangerous to the strong, but sometimes when someone encounters one alone, it can be a real disaster.

"That's impossible. If that were the case, he would have died long ago."

Zabuza couldn't figure it out either, but then his attention turned to the broken sword over there.

"Wait, I understand."

"I should have noticed long ago. Only a swordsman like Shanks could do something like that."

"Broken sword..."

Zabuza walked over. On this samurai sword, he vaguely saw Shanks' meaning.

On Red Line, Shanks looked at the red will that had been squeezed together.

"Where's Zabuza?"
