Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 585 - 475: The Impending War!

A lot can happen in a month.

Kaido drank for a month.

However, Kaido did not come away empty-handed. Flame Disaster King finally managed to extract some intelligence about Uchiha Obito by painstakingly gathering information from subordinates who had witnessed Uchiha Obito’s massacres.

It is said that during an attack, Uchiha Obito was hit by a Seastone Bullet shot by a pirate, yet Uchiha Obito did not seem to be injured.

"It doesn’t matter."

Upon receiving this news, Kaido finally felt a sense of relief: "As long as we can hit that bastard’s body, that’s enough. If he hadn’t taken action against our members, I wouldn’t have even known about this!"

Facing Uchiha Obito, Kaido felt quite frustrated!

Now that they had a way to attack Uchiha Obito’s body, Kaido was convinced he could kill him and rid himself of this huge trouble!

"Those Uchiha bastards..."

Kaido slammed his fist on the ground, angrily declaring: "Sooner or later, I’ll wipe them all out!"

This was purely a statement made in anger.

In this world, there are only three Uchiha that have emerged. Apart from Uchiha Obito right in front of them and the lesser-known Uchiha Itachi, there’s Uchiha Sasuke who has repeatedly beaten Four Emperors Kaido.

Of course...

They had not yet discovered everything there is to know about Uchiha Obito.

Kaido decided to temporarily lay all his cards on the table with this troublesome guy Uchiha Obito. Most of Wano Country’s territories could be given to Uchiha Obito, but... his subordinates and weapon factories must be able to remain in two regions of Wano Country!

This was Kaido’s final line!

If that didn’t work, they’d have no choice but to face-off.

Unfortunately, what Kaido hadn’t realized was that, during the month he spent drinking, Uehara Naraku’s army in another world was already prepared.

A new world.

A new power, and new resources.

For the Five Great Countries’ Ninja Villages, this was a temptation, or rather, it was a great temptation for the entire Ninja World, prompting each village to select the strongest possible ninja.

Since the last Akatsuki meeting concluded, more than thirty thousand strong Ninja Alliance assembled from various organizations in the Ninja World. Even Admiral Mifune from the Land of Iron led a group of samurai to join, mostly under the leadership of each village’s Kage or Kage Assistant.

Konoha Village: A force of six thousand ninjas, led by Kage Assistant Nara Shikaku. Jiraiya, Uzumaki Naruto, Might Guy, and Hatake Kakashi were prominently listed.

This was due to Tsunade being highly decisive!

Based on Konoha’s top-level meeting, it was believed that this call from Uehara Naraku served more to their advantage since Uehara Naraku had little to covet from them.

Besides the large ninja forces, an abundance of powerful ninjas were sent. However, to be safe, only Uzumaki Naruto, a powerful ninja, was dispatched initially.

Other young ninjas would follow up as situations developed.

The Hidden Rock Village: A force of ten thousand ninjas led by Tsuchikage’s son, Huang Tu, due to Hidden Rock’s large population, which often results in massive ninja forces.

Honestly speaking...

With peace reigning over the Ninja World for so long, Hidden Rock had too many ninjas but received very few missions, and they could hardly sustain so many people.

This was practically equivalent to splitting the family.

The Hidden Cloud Village: A force of eight thousand ninjas led by the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee personally, leaving the Hidden Cloud Village in the hands of Kage Assistant Darui.

This was because the Fourth Raikage found the new world very intriguing.

The Hidden Sand Village: A force of three thousand ninjas led by Temari, seeing that the Hidden Sand Village was very poor and unable to select even a decent person.

The Hidden Mist Village: A force of five thousand ninjas led by Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei herself because the Akatsuki specifically requested a large number of Water Release Ninjas.

The Land of Iron: A force of two thousand samurai led by Admiral Mifune personally, also a specific request from the Akatsuki meeting.

The Hidden Rain Village: Otsutsuki Kaguya, Haku, Kaguya Kimimaro, and Konan.

Otsutsuki Kaguya no longer had the Ten-tails, only its husk, yet could still rely on her immortal nature, serving as the future strength pillar of Wano Country.

Since Nagato and a few others needed to stay and manage the situation in the Ninja World, they would not be heading to the new world.

Konan was sent to coordinate the Ninja Alliance, and she was the one leading this operation, being an Akatsuki high-ranking member, Konan was responsible to the member nations.

Out on the vast sea of the Ninja World.

Over thirty thousand ninjas of the Ninja Alliance came together.

The high-level officials of the Ninja Alliance were discussing among themselves the intelligence provided by Nagato during the last Akatsuki meeting, all appearing very interested in the new world they were about to head to.

"A new world!"

A full-faced excited Uzumaki Naruto clenched his fist, the smile on his face almost uncontrollable, "I heard Sasuke was one of the first to go to the new world! I wonder how strong he has become now!"

"Maybe..."

Hatake Kakashi stroked the Sharingan in his eye socket and murmured, "I wonder how that guy is doing... He should be happier in the new world, right!"

Hatake Kakashi had only taught Uchiha Sasuke for about a year. He knew the awkwardness Uchiha Sasuke felt in the Ninja World, and now he just hoped that the child, so very much like himself, could be a little happier in the new world.

Jiraiya grinned, patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and joked, "The new world must have a lot of new sources of inspiration... Maybe I can publish a bestselling novel again soon. The new world shouldn’t ban my books, right?"

The Ninja World is currently dominated by the Akatsuki.

Originally, as the teacher of the Akatsuki’s founder, Jiraiya should have been doing well.

Unfortunately, because of issues with his publications, the Akatsuki banned the continuation of Jiraiya’s "Icha Icha" series.

Now, Jiraiya’s "Icha Icha" series has become a rare commodity.

Even though Jiraiya wrote two books during the peace era, one of them a serious ninja novel was published but didn’t do well; the other, a part of the "Icha Icha" series, remains unpublished and is only for Kakashi, its sole reader.

Hearing Jiraiya’s words, Hatake Kakashi’s eyes lit up, accompanied by an ambiguous smile, "I heard that world is really large..."

"Ahem..."

Huang Tu coughed lightly, interrupting their daydreams, and got to the point: "It seems Nagato mentioned before that the more Chakra we have in our bodies, the easier it is to awaken the powers of that world..."

"..."

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily shifted to Uzumaki Naruto.

This guy, Uzumaki Naruto, is the last remaining Jinchuriki in the Ninja World, having merged both the Yin and Yang Nine-tails, possessing the complete Nine-tails. The Chakra within him is undoubtedly the strongest in the Ninja World.

Of course...

Even without the Nine-tails, Uzumaki Naruto possesses a substantial amount of Chakra.

While the gathered high-ranking officials engaged in discussion, sheets of origami floated into the air, merging into the figure of Konan.

"Everyone... get ready to start!"

Watching the tens of thousands of Ninja Alliance members, Konan spoke solemnly: "In ten minutes, Uehara will open the black hole between worlds. Everyone must pass through quickly!"

After speaking, Konan lightly moved her fingers, and sheets of white paper flew from her hands, landing in the hands of the Ninja Alliance’s high ranks. On the paper was a map.

"This is the map of our new base, Wano Country."

Seeing that the Alliance leaders had the map, Konan continued, "Next, Nara Shikaku, the chief strategist for this New World expedition, will explain to you!"

"How troublesome..."

Nara Shikaku rubbed his forehead, placing a hand on his partner Yamanaka Inoichi, and the next moment, his voice echoed in the hearts of the entire Ninja Alliance.

"The entirety of Wano Country is divided into six regions, with the Flower Capital at the center. The other five regions surround and protect the Flower Country, and each one harbors certain opposition forces, which our ground forces must eliminate."

Closing his eyes, Nara Shikaku continued solemnly: "The Ninja Alliance has formed five squads based on the enemy’s borders. Upon arriving in the New World, the Ninja Alliance will immediately proceed to occupy various parts of Wano Country.

Among them, the strongest 1st Squad, led by Lord Jiraiya and Naruto, will immediately move to capture the Udon area!

The 2nd Squad, led by Lord Huang Tu and Lady Temari, will immediately move to capture the Ringo region!

The 3rd Squad, led by Kakashi, will immediately move to capture the Himei region!

The 4th Squad, led by Lady Terumi Mei, will immediately move to capture the Hakumai region!

The 5th Squad, led by Lord Mifune, will immediately move to capture the Kuri region!

Once each team has breached and occupied Kuri, Udon, Hakumai, Ringo, and Himei, they will converge in the Flower Capital region at the center of Wano Country. That will be our future headquarters!"

After finishing, Nara Shikaku calmly continued, "Anyone who resists the Akatsuki along the way must be driven out and defeated promptly. We must occupy the entire Wano Country. This is an expedition between worlds, and we will all be pioneers of a new era!"

"Understood!"

The 34,000 members of the Ninja Alliance responded in unison, like a tidal wave.

Jiraiya, looking at the map in his hand, suddenly exclaimed, "What’s with this Ghost Island here? Is there no enemy on this nearby island of Wano Country?"

"Don’t worry about it."

Nara Shikaku chuckled bitterly, speaking in a low voice, "The enemies there are too strong and will be dealt with by the Chakra Ancestor personally..."

It’s really quite embarrassing.

The overall military strength of the Ninja World is slightly inferior, with only its top-tier strength not being much lacking.

However, with the existence of Chakra, once their power adapts to the New World, their strength will quickly increase. Just a single Wano Country and its technology is enough for this Ninja Alliance to explore for several years.

"It’s time to begin."

Konan slowly looked up at the sky.

The next moment, a black hole gradually appeared in the sky, expanding until it covered the tens of thousands of Ninja Alliance members, before quickly descending!
