Konoha: The young son-in-law of the Hyuga family

Straight words always hurt,

Ryosuke's meaning is almost equivalent to telling Shanks that you are not that important. Without you, this planet will still turn, don't think of yourself as indispensable.

But in fact, this is the case. Even Ryosuke himself does not regard himself as irreplaceable.

Maybe he is very powerful in Hinata and in the ninja world, he can influence the development process of the whole world with a wave of his hand,

But if there is a time-space gate connecting all worlds, then Ryosuke's strength is not absolute.

Perhaps... In the world involved in the gate of time and space, there are many strong men who surpassed the limits of human beings, and even strong men who were born as gods.

In their eyes, Ryosuke may also seem insignificant.

Or maybe they are insignificant in the eyes of higher-level beings.

In this game that spreads all over the heavens and worlds, everyone is a player, and they are just players being pushed forward.

"...Maybe so."

Shanks was silent for a while, and drank the spleen in his hand, "But I still want to go and have a look first."

As a pirate and an adventurer, besides wanting to see if this world poses a threat to their world, he actually also wants to see with his own eyes the powerhouses in other worlds.

"It just so happens that I came here this time to see if there is any opponent that can interest me."

Ryosuke looked at him with a slight smile, "Together?"

"He's really a cultivator lunatic, let's go together."

Shanks nodded, "I hope this battle can open my eyes. In our world, large-scale naval battles happen every day."

"It will not let you down."

Ryosuke stood up.

Although he hasn't really fought with Shanks yet, every time he meets, he can feel the threat coming from the other party, and the threat to him is getting lower and lower.

Even this time, he almost ignored the overbearing arrogance that inadvertently emanated.

Perhaps...he has roughly grasped what level Shanks' level is equivalent to in this world, and through his existence, he understands where the standard of the One Piece world is.

...

"According to the report sent by the infiltrating reconnaissance team, the enemy is temporarily living in Wuyin Village, and there is no escape from the village."

The country of water, Jimu Town, which is only three towns away from Wuyin Village,

This will serve as the campaign headquarters of the Ninja Alliance.

"The situation inside the village is also very stable from the outside, but it has been completely blocked. Neither ninjas nor ordinary people are allowed to enter or go out."

Putting his hands together on the table, Sidai Kazekage looked at the other kages on the round table and reported.

"According to the information given by the daimyo of the country of water, the food supplied in Wuyin Village is enough for them to last for a year."

As the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya also mentioned the part he was responsible for, "In addition to the food and grass brought by our headquarters, the country of water is also willing to provide us with enough food and grass for war preparations, so I ask for forgiveness. The crime of ignorance that preceded the kingdom."

Since it is a joint operation, of course it is impossible for the five villages to fight independently as before.

In order to fight against the enemy better, they will not form cliques during the battle, so when they assembled before the battle, they had already allocated the teams of the five major villages.

Regardless of the power of the village they belong to, all the combatants are integrated, and then judged based on each person's combat advantages, divided into logistics squad, perception squad, sealing squad, intelligence squad, combat squad, etc...

Among them, the logistics class also includes work such as food, ordnance, and medical treatment.

The combat squad is further divided into long- and medium-range combat teams, medium and short-range combat teams, and close-combat gymnastics teams.

Then, the shadows of the five major villages assigned their reliable personnel to be the heads of these departments.

Now Tsunade standing behind Jiraiya is the general manager of the logistics work. Because of his prestige and level of medical ninjutsu, no one has any objections.

"Their information has been blocked by the Akatsuki organization. As ordinary people, I didn't know about this situation before, so I can forgive you."

Mifune from the Land of Iron was the first to express that he would not hold the Land of Water accountable.

Other countries responded quickly.

The main responsibility for this matter lies with the Xiao organization. Of course, it is impossible for them to attack these ordinary people. Since compensation has been given, then forget it.

"Then now, it depends on which side makes the first move."

Darui looked at the others, "Should we strike first? Attack with the whole army."

"Perhaps... we can be more secure."

Ohnoki thought for a while, and then suggested: "Their food and grass in the village can only be supported for one year, so we will drag it out for a year to surround Wuyin Village from different directions, only for harassment, not for large-scale conflict."

"The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the situation of the Akatsuki organization will be. In the end, we can win without fighting without wasting our extra troops!"

The battlefield is definitely not something that can end in a short time,

In a war that needs to be won or lost, if the time is too short, unless it is completely crushed, it can only mean that the scale of the war that broke out is larger and the losses between each other are greater.

Surrounding without attacking to reduce losses is a natural tactic under the advantage of the environment.

"I agree."

Fengying Luosha raised his hand first, expressing his agreement with this tactical arrangement.

Sand Hidden Village is the weakest of the five major villages, and almost no country appeared as a victorious country. It also lost a lot of troops when Akatsuki organized to capture the tailed beast the year before.

If he can reduce losses in the current campaign, he will undoubtedly not object.

"I also agree that although it took a little more time, it was a good thing for the final result."

Zilai also nodded in agreement.

Onogi proposed the tactics, and Kazekage and Fire influenced each other. Logically, this proposal should be finalized.

But Mizukage and Raikage remained silent and never gave a clear answer.

At the round table, everyone else including Iron Country Mifune looked at the two of them.

But the two did not respond, including Qing and Mabuyi who stood behind them and participated in the meeting as guards.

"Shuiying, don't you agree with the old man's proposal? Don't you know that the longer the delay, the better for you Wuyin Village."

Onoki frowned, looked at the young Terumi Mei, "What are you hesitating about?"

On the other side, Raikage also set his sights on Terumi Mei. The reason for his hesitation was that the consequences of this delaying tactic were likely to end when Ohnoki received the news of the attack on Iwagakure Village.

So... what is she hesitating about?

"I don't think it's a good idea."

Terumi Mei hesitated for a moment, "Perhaps what we should consider is not how to take down the Akatsuki organization, but how to win the victory under the opponent's attack."

This sentence made several people present stunned.

"Although... in the eyes of the outside world, our coalition forces are so powerful that we are almost fighting this war with a crushing attitude."

"But everyone should be clear that in this war, we are not fighting with an absolute advantage, and we may even be at a disadvantage."

Terumi Mei looked at the crowd seriously, "If that masked man is really Uchiha Madara, we must have at least half of our troops to hold them back, maybe even more."

"Senior Onogi should be more aware of that guy's combat power than us juniors. According to our elders, that monster can be dealt with if it has an upper hand!"

"Even while dealing with Uchiha Madara, we have to use the remaining half of our troops to face other people in the Akatsuki organization, including Samsara Eye Nagato, plus Kirigakure's rebellion!"

A trace of sadness flashed in Onogi's eyes, "Indeed, if that masked man is really Madara Uchiha, we will have no advantage at all."

Compared with other people present, he has faced Uchiha Madara directly.

That monster inspired his growth, but at the same time, it also terrified him.

"Different from ordinary Uchiha people, Uchiha Madara's eyes have reached the level of kaleidoscope sharingan, that is to say... he can use the legendary pupil technique - Susano."

"The substantive purple chakra is like armor, completely wrapping Uchiha Madara in it, and the huge figure is more shocking than the tailed beast."

"With a wave of the long knife in his hand, even mountains will be cut off directly! In Susano's eyes, the number of people is just like ants on the ground that can be easily trampled to death."

Although it was a bit of a blow to morale, Onogi briefly described the Uchiha Madara he had encountered in the war.

Darui also nodded, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have heard a little bit about the power of Susanoo."

"Mizukage is right. If the opponent is really Uchiha Madara, we need to consider this battle more carefully. We can't easily define the opponent as a softshell."

"Although under the siege of the coalition forces, there is a high probability that they will not be able to pass through the blockade, but... there is no absolute in everything, not to mention that they also master some kind of space-time ninjutsu."

"Once they are forced to cross the blockade with a small number of people, it will be a disaster for the forces represented by each of us!"

These words mean something,

However, the message to Onoki was temporarily intercepted, so he did not hear the meaning contained in it.

Jiraiya put his hands on the table and said in a cold voice, "No matter what the identity of the masked man is, we should not underestimate our opponents. In this case, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked open.

"My lords, the intelligence team at the front line has passed on the news. Jōnin Sansanaka of the Sensing Team noticed movement in Wuyin Village half an hour ago. The enemy..."

Speaking of this, the visitor paused unconsciously and swallowed, "It seems that he is going to take the initiative to attack!"

And this also means that the horn of war will be officially sounded.

"It looks like we don't have to worry about tactics anymore."

Jiraiya looked at the others helplessly, "Since the other party can directly provoke a frontal war, maybe... the identity of the masked person is really Madara Uchiha."

"No matter what, although we can't underestimate Uchiha Madara, we can't underestimate him either."

In order to avoid low morale, Onoki reminded everyone, "With the old man's current body, it is already extremely difficult to fight physical arts. Most of the battles are carried out with the help of martial arts."

"And Uchiha Madara is more than [-] years older than me, and now he must be at least an old man who is nearly a hundred years old."

"A hundred-year-old man, to what extent his physical function will probably decline, I think you should know better than me. The Yuan master in Wuyin Village is now nearly ninety, and has basically lost the ability to fight..."

He can be regarded as an old senior among all the shadows present, with a few words, Onogi swept away the haze in everyone's hearts and gave them a little more confidence.

Age is indeed a problem that they inadvertently ignore,

No matter how powerful Uchiha Madara used to be, he is only a human after all, a human with a limited lifespan.

No number of strong men in the history of the ninja world can escape the erosion of time, and neither can he!

Years will make Uchiha Madara's body function decline again and again, even if he is the best in a generation, but after all, he is just a stubborn stone of the old era, and he definitely does not have the combat power of the peak period!

...

"The war has begun."

On the top of an unnamed mountain a long distance from Jimu Town,

Ryosuke is sitting on the edge of the cliff leisurely, drinking tea with Shanks.

But being in a high place, the cold wind didn't affect the two of them at all,

Even the tea set placed on the stone table was not blown down by the strong wind.

"It's really convenient, ninjutsu."

Shanks smiled and picked up the hot teacup, "I never thought I could do such an elegant thing under such a harsh environment."

"It's no wonder that ninjas can survive in any harsh environment."

The stone benches the two of them sat on and the stone table they were using were all made by the earth dungeon technique.

Tea is sealed in advance with a storage scroll, and boiling water is made with water and fire...

"This also requires certain attainments and insights into the technique. If it's just the water produced by the rough water escape technique, it would be better if you don't drink it."

Ryosuke replied casually, keeping his eyes on Najimu Town, "Their numbers have begun to gather, and it seems that Kirigakure has made some moves."

In the ninja coalition, there are many strong men with profound attainments in perception.

But unfortunately, after Ryosuke had Tenseikan, his spying was no longer detectable by humans at this level.

"Unfortunately, I don't have eyes like yours."

Shanks spread his hands, "So... You said that you can watch the battle accurately and carefully, are you planning to let me watch the battle with a telescope?"

As he spoke, he took out the binoculars he had prepared in advance from his pocket and shook them.

"I didn't ask you to prepare this."

Ryosuke shook his head, "My original intention was to let my eyes temporarily become your eyes, providing you with enough vision to observe this battle."

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers.

As for Ryosuke's sudden movement, Shanks' body paused, but he didn't stop him, allowing his fingers to touch his eyebrows.

Soon, Shanks felt a heat flow that he had never felt before, passing from the opponent's body through his fingers to his eyes.

Immediately, he "saw" the ninja alliance gathering in the distance, and even their faces were very clear.

"This mountain is the center of the distance between Jimu Town and Wuyin Village, and it is the best place to watch."

Ryosuke explained again, "In the nearby space, I have temporarily concealed it. Unless their war spreads to our surroundings, they will not notice us at all."

"You can take a good look at this battle here with peace of mind, this may become the pinnacle battle in the history of the ninja world!"
