Noon the next day.
The daimyo, nobles, and ninjas who had enjoyed the hospitality of the Golden Nation for a day reluctantly walked out of the golden gate that had returned to the ground, and returned to their countries and ninja villages.
The high-ranking officials and leaders of many small ninja villages left with smiles on their faces, or looked around nervously, almost being the first to walk out of the golden gate and speed back to their ninja villages.
Because on their bodies were hidden one or more storage scrolls, filled with hot weapons from the pirate world.
Fearing being robbed on the way, they naturally wanted to return to their villages as soon as possible.
Many ninja villages did indeed have such thoughts and had put them into action.
Only Hanzō of the Salamander, with a cold and aloof expression, returned with a cold and aloof expression.
Those ninjas wished they could avoid him, let alone have any ideas about the hot weapons on his body.
Doflamingo was also not as gentle as Karl, and did not send people to escort the guests after they left.
After they walked out of the golden gate, he didn't care about those people anymore.
After the daimyo, nobles, and ninjas had all left, the influence of the Golden Nation quickly spread throughout the entire ninja world.
A country from another continent, technology and weapons from another continent, and entertainment and delicacies better than the ninja world...
As the effect of word of mouth spread, some rich merchants and ordinary nobles were all filled with longing for that golden nation that had appeared out of thin air.
They prepared to go to that golden city, which after today would become a holy land in the hearts of all rich people and nobles, to have a good time when the Golden Nation officially opened for business.
"That JOKER guy, no matter in which world, he's so good at business!"
The Four Emperor pirate crews also learned of this news.
As Doflamingo's former closest partner, Kaido sighed slightly.
In his heart, he was even filled with a deep sense of envy for Karl.
In that pirate world where fools were everywhere, a person like Doflamingo, who was not only smart, but also strong in all aspects, and knew how to position himself, was simply a rare existence.
Kaido, who had cooperated with Doflamingo, only needed to allow the other party to build various factories in Wano Country, and then use Wano's Seastone and other minerals, as well as its excellent forging technology, to make weapons to sell to Mary Geoise and other kingdoms, and he could get an astronomical sum of Berries every year.
In addition, there were also artificial Devil Fruits to satisfy the dream of the Beasts Pirates.
But ever since Karl appeared, Doflamingo had become more and more perfunctory.
After Karl reached the top and became the King of the Seas, this smart fellow, Doflamingo, even directly gave up the royal power of the Dressrosa Kingdom and moved the Donquixote Family, which he had developed for decades, to Gran Tesoro.
With Karl as a backer, Doflamingo not only didn't have to look at anyone's face, but he also became the master of Gran Tesoro and followed Karl to develop in another world.
In just five years, this weak fellow, Doflamingo, had used his spirit and wisdom to reach a position not inferior to his.
If Kaido didn't know that phrase, he would surely have sighed: "Truly, when one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"
Compared to the daimyo, nobles, and rich people, who only wanted to visit the Golden Nation again.
The ninjas' gazes were fixed on the technology and weapons of the Golden Nation.
"Hiruzen, this era is about to undergo a drastic change. We cannot fall behind the other ninja villages."
After returning to Konoha, Danzō Shimura, after telling his companions about his experience in the Golden Nation, immediately advised, "Prepare to acquire gold, or use ninjutsu and training scrolls to exchange for the hot weapons of another continent!"
"Shuriken, kunai, and explosive tags, these things, I believe it won't be long before they are eliminated and become backward weapons."
"...Danzō, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane frowned.
"No, what he said is not an exaggeration at all."
Orochimaru, who had also stayed behind, said lightly, "The weapons of the Golden Nation are divided into two types: guns and cannons. The guns include sniper rifles with a range of thousands of meters per shot, as well as shotguns and machine guns with shorter ranges but astonishing power... If I were to be hit by these weapons head-on, if I didn't use the hardening defense of Earth Release in time, I would be either dead or disabled."
"Those cannonballs have a power far surpassing explosive tags, and their range is second only to sniper rifles."
"What's even more terrifying is that these weapons do not require chakra, and even ordinary people can master them..."
His tone paused slightly, and Orochimaru looked at the shocked Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, as well as the thoughtful Hiruzen Sarutobi, and continued, "Imagine, if a ninja war were to break out, could our kunai be faster than sniper rifles? Could our shuriken outnumber their hail of bullets? Could our explosive tags compare to their cannonballs?"
"If ordinary people can also intervene in the ninja battlefield, can our great ninja villages continue to suppress those small ninja villages in terms of military strength?"
"..."
Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane fell silent.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, holding his pipe, nodded and said, "In that case, go and buy a batch back for us to study."
After finishing, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at his most proud disciple, "Orochimaru, are you confident that you can research the weapons of another continent and obtain the technology?"
"I haven't touched those guns and cannons, so I can only do my best."
A smile that was gradually becoming wicked appeared on Orochimaru's face.
In response, Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled, "In that case, I will leave the matter of purchasing weapons to you, Orochimaru."
"No problem. I am also full of curiosity about the technology of the Golden Nation."
Orochimaru spoke the truth.
Then, in a blind spot that neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor Danzō Shimura could see, he touched the ninja tool pouch at his waist.
If one could see through it, one would find that in Orochimaru's ninja tool pouch, there was a small card made of gold.
It was an invitation that no one knew about, and only Orochimaru knew after seeing the card, from the Golden Lord who was above the two masters of Gran Tesoro and Amazon Lily
