Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Hmm?" The attention of the others was drawn to her. As a renowned doctor in the ninja world, no one doubted Tsunade's medical expertise, so everyone's focus shifted again...

"If she still possesses Jonin-level strength while ill, then was she an elite Jonin or close to Kage-level during her prime?"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi said this, he then mentioned another matter: "I heard that the leader of Hoshigakure calls himself Hoshikage."

"Calling yourself 'Kage'? How arrogant!" The Second Mizukage stroked his mustache, his tone somewhat flippant.

"Is this person the Hoshikage?" the Second Tsuchikage asked.

Having Kage-level strength and calling oneself a Kage are two different things. The latter means believing that one is on par with the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages, with equal status.

Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure, was so powerful and arrogant, yet he still failed to earn the title of "Kage".

“No, I remember Hoshikage is a man.” Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly shook his head.

"So, in other words, there's one, or even several, stronger ones in Hoshigakure?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage became somewhat interested. Generally speaking, when the leader of a small ninja village calls himself "Kage," the people of the Five Great Ninja Villages usually ignore him, unless the other party goes too far...

The emergence of a ninja village possessing a secret technique for flight and considerable strength has immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Ninjutsu that can make people fly is very rare. The most famous ninjutsu is from the Hidden Stone Village, followed by the ninja tools from the Hidden Sky Village.

Having mastered the ability to fly would make certain tasks much easier, so everyone was already thinking about how to persuade the Star Ninja Village to acquire the secret technique of flight.

The common method is to exchange ninjutsu for ninjutsu, or to exchange resources for ninjutsu.

After all, the five great ninja villages care about their reputation and won't directly rob them unless the benefits are substantial enough...

"Perhaps, when we were laying out the communication network, they directly refused, or even forbade us from getting close to the village."

Jiraiya remarked, "This is the first time I've ever met someone like that."

"Star Village doesn't have a communication base station installed?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

"No, they flatly refused, even saying, 'If we dare to build a communications base station near the village, they will dismantle it...'"

As he spoke, Jiraiya slowly shook his head, "It makes me feel like an intruder."

“I think it’s perfectly normal.” Orochimaru sneered, his voice slightly chilling. “Either the other party is hiding something, or they suspect something.”

"Now it seems that what they are hiding is a secret technique for flying."

"As for what you suspect, perhaps you suspect that you want to steal the secret technique. After all, it's not the first time that various ninja villages have stolen the secret techniques of other ninja villages and clans."

Upon hearing this, no one present said anything; Orochimaru was telling the truth.

Even if Orochimaru exposes the truth, they will still take action, just in a more civilized way.

The group stopped discussing the matter and instead looked at the other contestants. In the world of nauticals, some Devil Fruits are easy to deal with, while others are very difficult...

For example, with the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, the only way to defeat a user of this fruit is to either break through the barrier head-on or attack over it...

While Minato Namikaze and the others were watching the live stream, a group of people arrived in Terra and began their journey through the wilderness.

Fairy Tail guards the portal, and quite a few people already know about it. After all, some mages are very loose-lipped and will reveal the secret even if they are not asked.

In other words, Fairy Tail's overall strength is formidable, and its allies are equally powerful; otherwise, Fairy Tail would definitely be in trouble.

In this competition organized by Fang Rui, S-rank mages directly advance to the finals, while the remaining mages need to participate in the elimination rounds...

Therefore, the group in the wilderness consisted of Gildarts and others, including S-class mages from various guilds of light and their management, as well as powerful wandering mages and Zeref's subordinates.

To make a joke, Zeref has demons among his subordinates, and the best of these demons advance directly to the finals, while Natsu, who is known as the strongest demon, is only participating in the elimination rounds.

"What a dangerous world." As top mages, they have a way of detecting Originium dust in the air.

“It is indeed somewhat dangerous.” Someone using detection magic to check the surrounding situation clearly sensed individual life forms underground.

The group chatted as they made their way toward the Dragon Gate. As for the guild members who were participating in the elimination rounds, they didn't care. It would be good if they made it to the finals, but it wouldn't matter if they didn't.

Upon entering Longmen, the group remarked, "...What a beautiful city."

Afterwards, instead of continuing to wander around the city, the group headed to the arena to see where the finals would be held.

"So ordinary!" Gildarts complained. He had thought that the venue Fang Rui had prepared would be more luxurious.

The knockout stage venues were so fancy, but the final venues were so simple.

"That's really unexpected," another person remarked. Fang Rui's previous events were always held in very high-class venues, like floating islands...

"It looks very ordinary, but you have to experience it to get the accurate answer."

One person said that his goal was to get a good ranking, and he would give it his all regardless of how exciting the arena was.

"Experience? The finals haven't started yet, so we don't have the chance to experience it."

With that, the group turned and left, heading towards other areas of Longmen to find lodging...

"Speaking of which, Fang Rui prepared accommodations for the previous events, but not this time..."

One person was quite surprised; it was a novel experience to have to consider accommodation when participating in an event organized by Fang Rui for the first time.

"You can ask Fang Rui about this," another person suggested.

The group chatted as they disappeared into the vast crowd.

Another batch of information was sent to Wei Yanwu, a registration form recording names and affiliations.

"A guild?" Wei Yanwu stroked his chin. There were organizations named "guild," but...

These names are a bit strange...

The reason for this idea was entirely Wei Yanwu's intuition, without any other basis.

Compared to Kaido, these people are more normal.

Setting aside the materials, Wei Yanwu logged into the group chat and asked someone a question.

"Who are you planning to send to the competition...?"

I said: "There are many. My idea is that if they are willing to participate, let them participate, without any restrictions..."

Wei Yanwu: "Send out some experts, otherwise we won't be able to get a ranking."

Based on his intuition, Wei Yanwu offered his advice.

Grand Tutor: "Don't be nervous, do your best."

The Grand Tutor was quite open-minded. He didn't care about not getting a ranking; as long as certain special rewards didn't fall into the hands of ambitious people, he considered it a success.

The Emperor said, "Go all out? I will send out the best of my ability."

There are a lot of things to deal with in Yan Kingdom, so he needs to leave some people in Yan Kingdom and can't send them all out.

Grand Tutor: "@Wei Yanwu, you seem a little nervous. What are you worried about?"

Wei Yanwu: "I'm seeing more and more strange people around, and I'm worried that they might be connected to certain entities..."

I: "Some beings..."

The three people stopped discussing and left the three-person discussion group one after another.

Meanwhile, the Rhodes Island special operations team that received the doctor was retreating, and even with the Reunion Movement's blockade, they were still unable to stop the group.

Fang Rui's clone did not retreat with the others, but went to the Reunion Movement's command center to find the three people from Penguin Logistics, as well as Talulah and others.

First, remove the influence of the black serpent from Talulah, then discuss some things with Patriot and others.

"If you're planning to change careers, I suggest you join Rhodes Island or Fire Chaser, as it will benefit your future development."

"Would the other party...agree?" Patriot asked.

"Yes, Rhodes Island will accept infected individuals, but only if they are law-abiding. Those who act recklessly will not be accepted."

"The Fire Chaser Company also follows the same rule: it will not accept infected individuals who intentionally cause harm."

As Fang Rui spoke, everyone present heard him clearly: among the members of the Integration Movement, some were law-abiding citizens, while others were pure thugs.

In other words, if the Reunion Movement wanted to join Rhodes Island or Fire Chaser, it would definitely split up.

Talulah and Patriots, among others, have not commented on this matter. It is true that some people left the organization in the early days of the Reunion Movement.

After it entered a period of militarized management, very few people left the organization.

"I'd like to know one thing: to what extent can the 'wishes' on the prize list be fulfilled?"

Talulah didn't continue the discussion; she was more focused on another issue.

Not receiving an answer, Fang Rui didn't think there was a problem, so he continued talking about Talulah's question...

"To what extent can it be done? The resurrection of the dead is possible."

Upon hearing this, Talulah clenched her fists instantly, her heart filled with excitement.

"But with your abilities, I don't think you have a chance to win the championship."

"You're too weak, Talulah."

Fang Rui directly declared that Talulah had no chance. "During the tournament, you should focus on making connections with Rhodes Island and other forces to resolve the Reunion Movement's problems and secure a stable supply of healing agents. That's what you should be considering."

Talulah gritted her teeth and said nothing.

It is truly despairing when hope is right before your eyes, yet you cannot grasp it.

"If you need anything, leave a message at Zhuhuo Company."

After Patriot finished speaking, Fang Rui looked at Froststar and said, "Your body is nearing its limit. Remember to go to Firechaser Company to pick up a bottle of healing potion. It's free."

After saying that, Fang Rui left.

Without the influence of the black snake, Talulah would likely have made the right choice.

Even if she still hasn't found the right path, she's willing to accept Patriot and Frostnova's advice.

After his clone merged with his main body, Fang Rui learned about the doctor's situation and the situation of the Reunion Movement.

The doctor has lost his memory, which is probably a side effect of the sarcophagus.

How the Reunion Movement will change depends on Talulah and others, especially since the Reunion Movement has already occupied Chernobog and now owns the territory. How the Reunion Movement will change is an unknown.

If diplomatic relations can be established with other forces, the Unity Movement should see positive changes.

However, the crux of the problem lies in establishing diplomatic relations with other powers...

Firstly, the Ursus faction has a negative view of the Reunion Movement.

The favorability ratings for other nations are also extremely low.
