Naruto looked relaxed, but everyone felt the pressure that exploded just a moment ago. It felt like the first time they faced Shanks' Conqueror's Haki.
However, the strength wasn't the same level, and the nature was different, but that's what it felt like.
"Just now... what, what was that?".
Shikamaru, Neji, and others looked at Sasuke with shock in their eyes.
Sasuke frowned slightly. He didn't expect Naruto's strength to improve again. As expected, the Uzumaki Clan were a bit strange.
But at this time, Sasuke explained to the others.
"It's said to be the ultimate power of the Ninshu Sect, able to form bonds between people through Chakra.
From the way this power shows itself, it can be compared to Conqueror's Haki. In this state, it can ignore all suppression from Conqueror's Haki, and the more people there are, the stronger this power is."
"But Naruto is special. He has another type of Chakra in his body, so he can use it alone."
After Sasuke finished speaking, the others didn't look too good.
Of course, they understood what Sasuke said. Naruto had the Nine Tails in his body, so he could use this power alone.
More importantly, this power is stronger with more people, but Naruto is already strong when he uses it alone.
"As expected, the East Sea battlefield is completely different from our side."
That was all they could say. Naruto's strength had surpassed them, and so had Sasuke's.
But when they thought about the enemies on the East Sea battlefield.
Orochimaru, Nagato, Itachi, White... they had never faced enemies of this level.
Most of the enemies they had faced were pirate heroes like Ross Jess, and their overall strength wasn't as strong. Otherwise, Shikamaru would have more than just a scar on his neck.
But even those pirate heroes weren't easy to deal with.
Compared to the shock of Shikamaru and the others, the faces of the elders and heads of the various families in Konoha were even more interesting.
They had seen Toneri's talent and strength. But such great talent and strength turned out like this in front of Naruto.
Although they knew there was a difference, the gap was too big.
Toneri's talent was real.
After all, he was a true Ootsuki pureblood, but unlike the true Ootsuki clan, he didn't have the Ootsuki's will.
This can be traced back to the Sage of Six Paths era. The Hyuga clan was originally descended from Ootsuki Hamura, the younger brother of Sage of Six Paths.
Ootsuki Hamura and Sage of Six Paths Ootsuki Hagoromo sealed Kaguya together. Although Hamura's position wasn't as high as Sage of Six Paths, he was still noticed by the world's will.
Moreover, Hamura was different from his brother. Sage of Six Paths was too talented, so he started cheating and stealing from the world's will, resulting in him being blacklisted by the world's will.
Hamura wasn't as talented, and didn't have such great ambitions. After sealing Kaguya, Hamura took his clan to the moon, and made a great wish to always protect the peace of the ninja world.
This wish wasn't made to himself, but was a vow to the world's will, which meant that Hamura had chosen his path.
At that time, Hamura's strength rose again, and his connection with the entire ninja world became closer.
However, since he wasn't a real member of the Ootsuki clan, Hamura couldn't resist the passage of time.
But he truly fulfilled his promise.
And the world's will would naturally follow this rule.
So Toneri received some gifts from the world's will. His control over natural energy and Chakra was stronger than everyone else from birth, much stronger.
As long as Toneri wanted, he could easily control Chakra. His talent shocked the high-level people in Konoha.
This was why Hyuga Hiashi valued Toneri. Toneri was qualified to become a top strong person in this world.
But such great talent seemed to be shattered at this moment. In front of Naruto, this so-called talent was worthless.
"How could... how could the gap be so big!!"
"How could the gap between Toneri and Naruto be so big? Even with the power of the Nine Tails, it's impossible..."
"..."
Hyuga Hiashi clenched his fists. The elders and family heads of other families also looked bad.
They would rather Toneri be stronger, than see such a big gap between the two. If it was like this, then this era might as well be called the Uzumaki era.
"I, lost. How could this be? Everyone said I was a genius."
"Even Hiashi-sama thought that one day, I could stand in front of that man called Shanks."
"..."
Toneri felt the power in his body. It was still strong, and he had a great advantage over others.
But the moment Naruto exploded just now, all the power in his body was directly crushed. That power was terrifying.
Naruto heard Toneri's words, and turned to look at Sasuke, Shikamaru, and others.
"You have a lot of talent, more than me, more than most people.
But in this era, there are too many hardworking geniuses, and too many hardworking people."
"Those geniuses work harder and are more desperate than you, so they will definitely be stronger than you.
Your talent is just the entrance to the new world."
Naruto didn't speak loudly, but many people heard him.
Then, many people fell silent.
Compared to the strong people who had experienced so much life and death on the battlefield, how could the geniuses in the village compare to these people?
Not to mention Naruto, even Hinata, who looked a bit timid, might be able to defeat Toneri.
And for people like Shikamaru, not as easy as Naruto, but he could solve Toneri in five minutes.
"Remember to come find us tomorrow, Toneri."
Shikamaru left with everyone, saying hello to Toneri before leaving.
Toneri's talent was indeed strong, but they weren't bad either.
Of course, in the eyes of everyone in the village, their strength couldn't become too strong anyway.
But in reality, Shikamaru and the others were getting stronger at a much faster rate than anyone imagined.
As for Naruto, Naruto didn't know why he had become so strong, and it seemed like the Nine Tails in his body had changed into a different person recently, and could even talk to him properly.
In fact, the Nine Tails also had their own difficulties. They thought that Sage of Six Paths was dead, but Sage of Six Paths suddenly appeared sometime ago.
At that time, the Nine Tails didn't care about Sage of Six Paths at all. Who was the old guy trying to scare?
But they didn't expect Sage of Six Paths to actually be alive.
The Nine Tails suddenly became polite.
And what Sage of Six Paths didn't expect was that the Nine Tails were also strange. They didn't know what the Nine Tails had experienced, but they had learned ninjutsu, although it was just ordinary sealing ninjutsu. This progress was something that Sage of Six Paths never expected.
It could only be attributed to the fact that the Nine Tails had been sealed too many times, so they learned it.
The Nine Tails could only nod, that's right, their talent was strong.
After all, they couldn't say that they were afraid of being cut by Shanks one day, so they learned sealing techniques, right?
At the same time, through Sage of Six Paths, the Nine Tails also knew about the state of the Eight Tails, that the tailed beasts could be turned into devil fruits.
Then, through the Jinchuriki, the devil fruit ability users, the abilities would become stronger and stronger.
In this process, the tailed beasts would lose control over their own power, but if the ability user's will wasn't strong enough, they would be controlled by the tailed beast in turn.
Then the Nine Tails also understood why they could learn ninjutsu, because this thing could be learned, but the difficulty was very high.
Under normal circumstances, they had to become devil fruits before other abilities could be developed.
But the Nine Tails had achieved this step on their own.
However, Sage of Six Paths didn't say too much to the Nine Tails, but with the departure of Sage of Six Paths, the Nine Tails also let go of their burdens.
Thinking about it differently, cultivating Naruto into a strong person was also a very good choice.
As for deep hatred, the Nine Tails didn't really have that for Naruto.
But in the eyes of others, Naruto's strength had increased like this without any explanation, even Sasuke had a bit of trouble adjusting.
In fact, Sasuke wasn't without a chance, but when Sage of Six Paths found Sasuke, he found that the fragile Indra Chakra in Sasuke's body had been fused.
Logically speaking, the reincarnation of Ashura and Indra was created by Sage of Six Paths, and couldn't be interfered with by normal people.
So when Sage of Six Paths saw Sasuke's state, he was shocked.
As for who had this ability? It goes without saying, Orochimaru was in a daze at the time, and directly stuffed Indra into a devil fruit with his own strength, even destroying Indra's will.
But when Sage of Six Paths saw a trace of divinity on Sasuke's body, he understood that his initial plan seemed to be in the right direction.
But only the direction being right wasn't enough, because with the appearance of Shanks, there was no road now, only a direction was useless.
Of course, Naruto and the others didn't know about these things, and no one would care about their problems.
Konoha didn't have anything to do for the next period of time. Naruto and his group wandered around every day, and arranged for a few people to train Toneri from time to time.
Time passed in this leisurely time.
Until the end of the World Government meeting. With the end of the World Government Meeting, Konoha's high-level people directly arranged the tasks.
This time the task was entirely handed over to Shikamaru to handle. Konoha's young generation officially got rid of the wings of their elders at this moment.
In Sunagakure Village, Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro also received orders, and led the ninjas and Marines of Sunagakure Village towards the Land of Demons.
"Lord Reto, wouldn't there be a problem doing this?"
"Prepare yourself. The matter of the Land of Demons is just a beginning, but once this start is made, it will be difficult to say what will happen next."
"If Shanks sends people to interfere, then this matter will expand its influence, and the entire ninja world will be affected."
"But we also have to put some energy on the New World and the Red Line. It is normal for the Ninja World to be affected. The World Government will not concentrate its efforts to quickly stabilize this unrest.
The Ninja World can hold back the power of various ninja villages, restraining the various ninja villages and ninja clans. After the unrest ends, the World Government will once again gather these forces and turn them into a part of the World Government."
The tall Reto spoke. After Edo Tensei, he still had the memory of meeting Shanks.
That was the mark that Shanks left in the Dragon Vein, but for Reto, those memories allowed him to see the current situation more clearly.
"Shamon, how is the development of the puppets going?"
Reto asked.
"Still under development. The technology of this era is very helpful for puppets, but I'm afraid there won't be enough time."
Shamon was a bit worried. He was Reto's guard, and also the Second Kazekage.
In addition to that, in the memory of the Dragon Vein, he also went to the Uchiha Clan's residence with Shanks, and saw Uchiha Izumi.
For them old things, there were a lot of troubles.
As for the World Government's control over the ninja clans?
Reto and Shamon didn't take the World Government's plan seriously. If it was the old them, they might not be able to do anything.
But now...
"I will seize the time to find Izumi. I hope he was also Edo Tensei. It's too risky to go to Shanks now."
Reto nodded, and didn't continue to speak.
But finding Izumi wasn't an easy task.
As for Granny Chiyo, Granny Chiyo could only do her duty. But with Reto and Shamon around, Granny Chiyo didn't need to worry so much.
Speaking of which, this was also Sunagakure Village's good luck.
There were too few people in Sunagakure Village, so Chiyo had no choice but to Edo Tensei the First and Second Kazekages.
This technique was also given to Sunagakure Village by Konoha during the Konoha Destruction Plan.
At first, Chiyo just wanted to bring out Reto and Shamon to protect Sunagakure Village in necessary situations.
But she didn't expect to directly Edo Tensei two big shots, and strengthened versions of the big shots, so Chiyo also started to relax.
"Lord Reto, Lord Shamon, is Uchiha Izumi really that important?"
Chiyo didn't know about Izumi, and was just very curious about this person.
"Very important, that man... is a man even Shanks praises, and Tobirama's research on Edo Tensei, I'm afraid it's also because of Izumi."
Reto's eyes were a bit complicated.
Izumi used his death to break the balance between the Senju clan and the Uchiha Clan, and that ended the Warring States period.
After that, Tobirama was killed by Ginkaku and Kinkaku...
Stop it, how was this normal? How could those two guys kill Tobirama?
But when he saw Tobirama's situation, Izumi died in his own hands, his brother also killed Uchiha Madara, and his brother later died.
Of the four people from back then, only Tobirama was left. At that time Tobirama was probably ready to die.
To be honest, Reto had a general idea of certain things through Shamon and Shanks' experiences in the Uchiha Clan, so it was difficult for him as well.
But if he didn't find Izumi, he was afraid he couldn't break the situation.
