Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 405 Divine Soldiers Descend from the Sky! Wukong's New Way of Traveling (Part 2)

The anticipated enemy attack did not occur, and the First and Fifth Units successfully passed through the forest while maintaining high vigilance.

Afterwards, the fourth unit responsible for the rearguard, namely the long-range combat squad led by Gaara, also successfully crossed the forest without being attacked by the enemy.

The four units began to set up camp on the windswept plains outside the forest, building temporary camps and providing medical treatment for their comrades who had suffered various injuries.

At the same time, they also discussed the next operational plan based on the intelligence transmitted back by the reconnaissance team.

"We've discovered enemy tracks. Fifteen kilometers to the west, a large number of White Zetsu have been found waiting there. Furthermore, we've also found traces of Uchiha Madara and Zetsu!"

Inside the makeshift tent, Huang Tu looked around at the commanders of the various units and recounted the intelligence he had just received.

"How many White Zetsu?" Darui, the commander of the First Division, asked, squinting.

"About twenty thousand," Huang Tu replied.

"Twenty thousand... plus the ten thousand we encountered in the forest earlier, that makes thirty thousand. This matches the information we gathered earlier," said Mifune, the commander of the Fifth Division, in a deep voice.

"We can't be careless. Who knows if this is really the only number of White Zetsu? If they're deliberately hiding like they were in the forest before, then their numbers are probably much greater than we know," Gaara said calmly, stroking his chin.

"That's right. Although Madara Uchiha and the White Zetsu army are right in front of us, we must not only focus on them, but also pay attention to other places. For example, that masked man has not appeared yet, and he is likely to be secretly plotting some kind of conspiracy."

Although Huang Tu has an honest appearance, he is quite meticulous and has noticed that the masked man, whose threat level is second only to Uchiha Madara, has not yet appeared.

After some discussion and with instructions from headquarters, everyone unanimously decided to select some personnel from the First and Second Units, have them line up on the left and right, supporting each other from both sides, advancing steadily and step by step toward the enemy's position.

The Fourth Army followed two kilometers behind the two other units, ready to provide support to the front at any time.

As for the remaining personnel of the First and Second Units and the Fifth Unit, they remained at the camp to protect its security.

As this action plan was being implemented, the Third Force, led by Jiraiya and Kakashi, finally bypassed the forest and was approaching from 30 kilometers away on the flank, preparing to form a two-sided encirclement and jointly annihilate the enemy.

By this time, it was already noon.

Naruto, far away on Turtle Island, was still fast asleep, unaware that the great war between the Five Great Nations and Madara Uchiha had already broken out.

As for Wukong, he woke up not long ago and is doing his morning exercises.

There was no way around it; the passage of time had unknowingly affected him as well. After all, with the outside world bright and clear, who would think that it was already past midnight?

So he went to bed very late last night and didn't wake up as early as usual this morning.

As for the great war that broke out in the Land of Lightning, he was unaware of it, since his Observation Haki did not have such a wide range that it could detect battlefields at least a thousand kilometers away.

And even if the area really is that large, he wouldn't know, since who would be so bored as to investigate such a distant place?

"Report! We are less than two kilometers from the enemy!!"

As they advanced step by step, the Allied Shinobi Forces unknowingly closed the distance to within two kilometers of the White Zetsu army.

During this process, the enemy's sneak attack that they had imagined did not occur. Everything was calm from beginning to end, as if the White Zetsu army really only consisted of the 20,000 people they had scouted ahead, and there was nothing else hiding.

"In that case, let's fight! At this distance, there's nothing to worry about!"

Ai slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and said fiercely.

"That's right, Jiraiya's third force has also arrived. Let's surround and wipe out those White Zetsu!" Tsunade, a woman of her stature, clapped her fist with a fierce expression.

Upon receiving orders from headquarters, the Allied Ninja Forces at the front lines immediately assumed their positions, charging menacingly towards Ichigo...

Bai Jue attacked from both inside and outside.

At the same time, the White Zetsu clones, which had been standing still like wooden stakes, also received instructions and split into two groups, moving in different directions.

One of the targets was the main force of the Allied Shinobi Forces, numbering approximately 15,000.

The other target was Jiraiya's Third Division, which numbered approximately five thousand.

"The great battle is about to begin! My blood is boiling! Oooooo!!" Might Guy yelled, his eyes fixed on the approaching army of White Zetsu.

"Teacher Kai! Me too! This time, I will definitely burn my youth to the fullest! Never give up! Yahoo!!" Lee Rock, who was right next to him, also shouted like a banshee.

"What an energetic pair of guys." Jiraiya, who was not far away, couldn't help but glance at the lively master and apprentice, a slight smile playing on his lips.

But then, the smile vanished, replaced by seriousness and solemnity.

"Kakashi, be careful later. I have a feeling something is strange about this. These White Zetsu are not strong and their numbers are far fewer than ours. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be able to stop us at all, but Madara Uchiha still sent them here."

Kakashi, who was standing beside him, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Lord Jiraiya, are you saying there might be some conspiracy involved, or that the enemy's strength is far greater than what we've seen so far?"

"Yes, we do have that idea, but we don't have any intelligence to back it up right now, so we can't guess. We can only be more careful." Jiraiya looked solemnly at the White Zetsu army less than 500 meters away.

"Kill them!!! Defeat these guys!!"

Before long, the Allied Shinobi Forces clashed with the White Zetsu army, unleashing a dazzling array of ninjutsu techniques.

The Allied Shinobi Forces and Jiraiya's Third Division encountered the White Zetsu army almost simultaneously on the main battlefield and instantly engaged in fierce combat.

If viewed from above, one could see that on the loess-colored earth, large patches of gray-black and white resemble two different seas colliding and constantly eroding each other.

To the right, about two kilometers away, there was a small patch of gray-black and white eroding each other.

At the intersection of the straight lines extending from the rear of the two battlefields, Madara Uchiha stood quietly on the rock pillar, gazing indifferently at the two battlefields.

This arrogant posture is as if he is watching two groups of insects perform.

"Lord Madara, just watch closely, those clones hidden within the Allied Shinobi Forces are about to unleash their power. Oh, and Kabuto's Edo Tensei users are also about to take the stage. You can enjoy this performance." White Zetsu stood behind him, a sly smile on his face.

On the relatively small battlefield, Jiraiya and Kakashi's Third Division gained a firm advantage from the very beginning.

Jiraiya didn't even need to enter Sage Mode; in his normal state, he burned many White Zetsu to death with his superb Fire Release: Flame Bullet technique.

Kakashi, the ninja who was short on chakra, did not immediately waste his chakra to activate a ninjutsu. Instead, he used his assistant's hidden sword and kunai to kill many White Zetsu.

Might Guy, a master of physical combat, was like a tiger among sheep, kicking away every White Zetsu he saw with his big feet. In just a few breaths, he had kicked seven or eight White Zetsu to death, which drew everyone's attention.

Seeing this scene, Rock Lee's blood boiled even more. He shouted that he would try to be like Guy and then used Leaf Whirlwind to kill several White Zetsu.

Besides them, the ninjas of the Third Division also used their skills, relying on their superior strength and nearly three times the number of the White Zetsu, to rout the White Zetsu army, leaving them with almost no chance to fight back.

But... just when they had the upper hand and were about to completely wipe out the White Zetsu, an unexpected person suddenly appeared.

...

"Art is an explosion!!"

boom!!!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion occurred in one of the areas of the Allied Shinobi Forces, blasting six or seven shinobi within the area into the air, some of whom died instantly.

"Who goes there?!"

The ninjas around didn't look at the explosion site, but instead looked up at the sky, because they had all heard that shout filled with madness and excitement.

A large white bird was flying overhead, and a man with a golden ponytail was sitting on the bird.

The ninja from Iwagakure recognized the person instantly, and his pupils contracted.

"Deidara?!"

Meanwhile, new enemies, different from White Zetsu, began to appear in various places around the perimeter of this battlefield.

"Secret Technique: Earth Grudge!"

Kakuzu, a former member of the Akatsuki, manipulated a black thread that grew from his body, piercing straight through a ninja's chest and forcefully seizing his heart.

"Drills and Exercises: Human Body Kung Fu".

Scorpion's expression was indifferent. With a slight twitch of his fingers, chakra threads instantly controlled a ninja to stab his companion in the waist with a kunai.

"Lava Release: Scorching River Rock Technique!"

Multiple magma balls radiating terrifyingly high temperatures were hurled at the Allied Shinobi Forces, instantly altering the environment of a small area. The one who launched the attack was none other than Roshi, the former Jinchuriki of the Four-Tails.

"Thunder Blade Technique - Lightning Strike!"

Rumble!!

Several bolts of purple lightning descended from the sky, instantly striking six or seven ninjas who couldn't dodge in time. Ringo Ameyuri held a ninja sword called Raito Kiba in both hands, a cruel smile on her face.

Not far from her, Zabuza Momochi, Yuuto Kusanagi, Kushimaru Kurihara, Jinpachi Murashi, Suigetsu Hozuki, and Mangetsu Hozuki, all members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, used their respective skills to kill and wound many of the Allied Shinobi Forces' ninjas in an instant.

"Those...aren't those Akatsuki members who died long ago?! How did they end up here?!"

"That was Lord Old Purple from Iwagakure! He died at the hands of the Akatsuki long ago!"

"What?! Aren't those the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?! What are they doing here?!"

Seeing so many people who should never have been here suddenly appear, the ninjas of the Allied Shinobi Forces were horrified, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"That's the Impure World Reincarnation technique! But Orochimaru is dead! How can someone else still master the Impure World Reincarnation technique?!" Jiraiya also noticed these uninvited guests. His pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly recognized that these people were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

"Lord Jiraiya, if there is anyone in this world who can truly master the Impure World Reincarnation technique, then there is only one person."

After Kakashi killed a White Zetsu, he instantly appeared beside Jiraiya and said with a solemn expression.

"That's Orochimaru's assistant, Kabuto Yakushi!"

"Yakushi Kabuto? I know that person." Jiraiya's eyes narrowed.

"Could this person have become Madara Uchiha's subordinate?"

He knew of Kabuto's existence, but after Orochimaru's death, he disappeared without a trace, as if he had also died in some corner of the ninja world.

The Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden technique of Konoha. Apart from the Second Hokage who developed it and Orochimaru who secretly learned it later, no third person has ever mastered it.

If this third person does exist, then Orochimaru's assistant, Kabuto Yakushi, is indeed the most suspicious person.

"Whether it was Kabuto Yakushi's doing or not, we're in trouble now. These guys resurrected by Edo Tensei are no ordinary people. It will take a lot of effort to deal with them."

Jiraiya looked around and saw that among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Deidara of Akatsuki, and Roshi of Iwagakure.

Beyond his sight, there were more than twenty extraordinary and powerful chakra streams, each at least at the level of an elite Jonin. Although their numbers were small, the destructive power they could bring far exceeded that of the White Zetsu army.

If we don't immediately send out powerful enough ninjas to encircle and annihilate them, it will cause them a lot of casualties!

At this very moment, hidden in a secret corner of the windswept plain, Kabuto Yakushi's pale face beneath his hood wore a sinister smile.

"Enjoy my reanimated army! This is just the first course; the second course is yet to come."

Around him stood many upright coffins.

Looking through the opened coffin lid, one can see that there were many figures who were once very important in the ninja world.

The Second Tsuchikage is gone!

Second Generation Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu!

Third Raikage A!

Fourth Kazekage Rasa!

And the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura!

On the other side, on the main battlefield formed by the First and Second Divisions of the Allied Shinobi Forces and an army of 15,000 White Zetsu, something even more severe, dangerous, and unexpected happened than on Jiraiya's battlefield.

Just as the Allied Shinobi Forces' ninjas were fiercely fighting against the White Zetsu army with soaring fighting spirit, many of their supposed comrades suddenly launched sneak attacks on them from behind!

"Ah!! I believe you!! You, how could you..."

A ninja, whose heart had been pierced by a kunai, struggled to turn around, only to see that the one who had ambushed him was not an enemy, but a familiar comrade. His pupils dilated, and his face was filled with disbelief.

"Xin, no, it should be said that Xin is transformed from White Zetsu," he grinned with a strange smile, and then his entire body quickly disappeared into the ground.

The ninja who was ambushed widened his eyes instantly.

That ability just now... could that ability be...? Before the thought could fully form, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and he collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

...

Meanwhile, this scene was unfolding in many places on the battlefield. Many ninjas who were fighting the enemy were caught off guard and attacked by their comrades. Most of them were killed or seriously injured. Only a few exceptionally sharp ninjas were able to dodge at the last moment.

Even so, I was still terrified.

"Damn it! What are you doing?!"

An Iwa ninja who had narrowly escaped death glared angrily at the Kumo ninja who had ambushed him.

The Hidden Stone Village and the Hidden Cloud Village had accumulated grudges for many years and were always irreconcilable enemies. If it weren't for the peace of the entire ninja world, they would never have joined forces against the enemy.

Previously, under Gaara's inspiring speech, they had finally been able to lower their guard a little and cooperate with their former enemy. But unexpectedly, such a sneak attack occurred in the blink of an eye. How could this not make the Iwa ninja who was ambushed furious?

"You people from Kumogakure are truly untrustworthy!!"

The other Iwa ninja noticed this and rushed to the side of the attacked Iwa ninja, huddled together, and glared angrily at the surrounding Kumo ninja.

"What's going on?! Yusuke, have you gone mad?!"

Despite being antagonized by the Iwa ninja, the Cloud ninja paid no heed to such matters, all staring in disbelief at the Cloud ninja who had just ambushed their comrade.

"Yusuke! We're comrades on the same side now! How could you betray a comrade like that!"

"That's right! Yusuke, even if you have some grudge against Iwagakure, you shouldn't do something like this at a time like this!"

The Cloud Ninjas knew they were in the wrong, so they all helped the Iwa Ninjas scold Yusuke, trying to wake him up.

"I'm so sorry, I was just confused. It was my fault."

Under the angry rebuke of his fellow villagers, Yusuke seemed to realize his mistake and lowered his head in shame.

Upon seeing this, the Cloud Ninjas, whose faces were filled with anger, relaxed slightly, but their expressions were still very grim, because after what had just happened, the fragile foundation of trust between them and the Iwa Ninjas was bound to collapse.

Even ninjas from other villages will no longer trust them and will isolate them on the battlefield.

Didn't you see that the Konoha ninjas, Sand ninjas, and others who witnessed the scene just now have already intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from them?

In this situation, the Iwa ninja will be in a terrible predicament of being isolated and helpless on the battlefield!

Snapped! !

Thinking of this, an older, experienced man from the Cloud Ninja walked up to Yusuke and slapped him hard across the face.

Then he turned around and bowed to the group of Iwa ninja who still wore angry expressions, apologizing.

"I'm sorry! This was our fault. Yusuke shouldn't have attacked this friend from Iwagakure. If Yusuke is still alive after this war, he will definitely come to apologize to you."

In this situation, the best course of action would be for him to execute Yusuke on the spot, using Yusuke's death to atone for his sins against the Iwa ninja, thus preventing the fragile foundation of trust between them from collapsing completely, and also to show the other ninja villages their attitude towards those who stab them in the back.

But he still couldn't bring himself to do it; he couldn't bring himself to kill his own villager. So he could only resort to this conventional method.

The Iwa ninja were not satisfied with his apology, but they all knew that this was the limit he could go on. They could not ask to kill the guy who stabbed them in the back under these circumstances, because that would affect more than just their small area. The entire Allied Shinobi Forces would likely be affected by the changes in their area.

For the sake of the stability of the entire Ninja Alliance, they had no choice but to swallow their anger for the time being and not pursue the matter further.

But it's completely impossible to get them to continue joining forces against the enemy.

Thinking of this, the Iwa ninja snorted coldly and tried to leave the area without saying another word.

But before they could take any action, an unbelievable scene suddenly unfolded on the field, causing their pupils to shrink in unison and their entire bodies to freeze in place.

A blood-stained kunai pierced through the chest of the bowing ninja, bursting out of his body.

The owner of this kunai was none other than Yusuke, who was standing behind him and had just looked guilty!

"Yusuke, you, you...: "

Not only the Iwa ninja were stunned by this scene, but also the Kumo ninja.

They stared in shock at Yusuke, whose face now wore a sinister smile, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor, their minds going blank for a moment.

Why? Why is Yusuke like this?

Pfft!

Yusuke pulled out his kunai, and Yun, who had been pierced through the heart, fell forward with his eyes wide open in death without uttering a single word. Blood quickly pooled beneath him, forming a small puddle.

Yusuke licked his lips, glanced at the horrified ninjas around him, and grinned, saying, "Oh dear, it seems you're all scared."

One of the Cloud Ninja suddenly realized what was happening and pointed at him angrily, shouting, "No! You're not Yusuke! Absolutely not!"

He had known Yusuke for many years and knew that no matter how ruthless the other man was, he would never harm his fellow villagers.

The other Cloud Ninjas also reacted, quickly drawing their kunai and glaring angrily at Yusuke.

"That's right! Yusuke isn't that kind of person. He would never kill Satay-senpai!"

Faced with everyone's doubts, "Yusuke" shrugged and said innocently, "But I am Yusuke. Who else could I be?"

His question really stumped the group of Yun ninja.

Because a Cloud Ninja with sensory abilities, after carefully sensing the chakra fluctuations on Yusuke's body, gritted his teeth and said, "His chakra is fine; it's definitely Yusuke's chakra. I can confirm that!"

Now, not only the Cloud Ninja looked at each other in bewilderment, but the ninjas from other villages also looked at each other in bewilderment, especially the Iwa Ninja, whose faces were very strange.

Good heavens, we thought he was a treacherous villain who was targeting them, but it turns out he's a madman who would kill even his own fellow villagers.

The Hidden Cloud Village is truly full of outstanding talents!

"Don't be fooled by him! He's not the person you know! He's a White Zetsu in disguise!"

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed over from a distance and arrived on the field.

It was Neji.

"Is it a White Zetsu in disguise?"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing Neji's words.

Neji didn't bother to explain further and went straight to attack Yusuke.

He was killed on the spot in just a few moments.

When Yusuke was killed and fell, his appearance changed. He was no longer the Yusuke that everyone had seen before, but became the White Zetsu that everyone was already quite familiar with!

"How...how is this possible?!"

The ninja who had previously confirmed Yusuke's identity by relying on chakra fluctuations watched this scene in disbelief.

In his perception, Yusuke's chakra fluctuations transformed into a unique chakra fluctuation characteristic of White Zetsu as he was dying!

"I just confirmed this myself. These ninjas who launched the sneak attack are not the ones we know anymore. They were replaced by White Zetsu while we were traversing the forest," Neji said gravely.

Not long ago, in his area, a ninja suddenly attacked his partner from behind, but he discovered it and stopped him in time.

When he interrupted the opponent's chakra fluctuations with Gentle Fist, rendering the opponent temporarily unable to move, the opponent suddenly transformed into the appearance of a White Zetsu.

This scene shocked him greatly.

He then realized what was happening and had one of his teammates who could search memories search the White Zetsu's memories. They immediately discovered that there was more than one White Zetsu who had disguised himself as a comrade and infiltrated the Allied Shinobi Forces.

This was a premeditated plan by the enemy! They intended to launch a surprise attack at this moment, throwing the Allied Shinobi Forces into chaos and causing them to collapse from within!

Upon learning of this situation, Neji immediately instructed those around him to spread the news.

But at this moment, they were already engaged in battle with the White Zetsu army. In such a chaotic battlefield, how could they possibly spread the news?

With no other option, Neji could only use his Byakugan to search for suspicious situations, then rush over to force the White Zetsu that was causing the chaos to reveal its true form, thus letting more people know about this matter.

And now, this is the first time he has put this plan into action!

Time had passed by in the blink of an eye, and Naruto, far away on Turtle Island, finally woke up.

Although the light outside the window was still dim, he was no longer sleepy.

"Mmm—!! I slept so well!"

.....

Naruto stretched lazily by the window.

However, seeing that it was still pitch black outside the window, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He felt he had slept for a long time, and his full energy, without any sleepiness, was proof of that.

But why is it still dark outside?

By the way, I think I had the same thing yesterday. Could it be that I'm feeling more energetic lately because of my cultivation, so I don't need to sleep for as long?

Naruto rubbed his chin, successfully conjuring up the reason in his mind, never imagining that he had been completely fooled by Yamato and the others.

Meanwhile, in the woods a hundred meters away from his window, Yamato, Aoba Yamashiro, and Motoi were hiding in a tree. When they saw Naruto get up, their hearts jumped.

"What should we do? Naruto isn't going to sleep anymore. Should we turn on the light?" Motoi scratched his head.

"No, we can't open it. If we do, Naruto will definitely want to leave. After all, today is the day we start the war with Madara Uchiha." Yamashiro Aoba shook his head like a rattle drum.

"That's right. Every bit of time we can buy now is important. It's much easier to make Naruto think that daytime hasn't arrived yet than to deceive him into thinking the war is delayed once daytime has come." Yamato nodded.

"Okay, shall we just continue watching from here?" Motoi shrugged.

"No, let's go back to our room. If Naruto senses something's wrong, he'll definitely come looking for us. We should pretend we're still asleep so we can fool him," Yamato wisely suggested.

The three of them quickly put their heads together and quietly left the place, returning to their rooms and pretending to sleep.

As for the others here, they had already stayed in their rooms as instructed, pretending to be asleep, so there was no need to worry about being bumped into by Naruto.

But they all forgot one thing: there was one person who wasn't in the room; he had already left long ago.

"It smells so good!!"

In the forest far from his dwelling, Wukong, having finished his morning exercise, hunted a large wild boar. He placed it on a grill, where the fat sizzled and released a wonderful aroma of roasted meat.

This wild boar didn't just appear on Turtle Island; it was captured from the mainland by the people of Kumogakure. They had captured various animals, such as wild boars, cattle, sheep, and rabbits, a long time ago, and allowed them to breed on the island so that Killer Bee would have enough food when he trained there.

Now, this well-fed and robust wild boar has become a bounty for Wukong, serving as his breakfast.

.....

Smack smack!

Wukong tore off a large pig's trotter, ate it with gusto, his mouth greasy and full of satisfaction.

While he was enjoying his meal there, a creature in the forest, looking left and right with bright green eyes, suddenly sniffed the air and took a few deep breaths, its eyes flashing with astonishing light.

"There's something delicious to eat!!"

Swish! ! !

The person immediately rushed towards the source of the fragrance.

Before long, he saw a wild boar that had been mostly eaten appear before him.

Without saying a word, he rushed over, not even greeting the people next to the wild boar, and immediately tore off the last pig's trotter, wolfing it down.

After a while, a shiny white pig's trotter bone was casually tossed on the ground. Naruto patted his slightly bulging belly and said with a satisfied look, "Ah~~ I'm finally full."

95

That's right, the person who was starving in the forest and searching for food was Naruto.

After getting up, Naruto found his stomach growling loudly, so he went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

He searched high and low but couldn't find anything to eat. Then he remembered that Killer Bee had said yesterday that there were many captured ingredients on the island, so he decided to search the forest.

Before he could find anything, he suddenly smelled an aroma that made his mouth water. He rushed over without stopping, and when he saw the only remaining pig's trotter, his eyes were only on it. He even ignored Wukong next to him and started gnawing on the pig's trotter.

Only now, after a hearty meal, did he finally see Wukong. He blinked and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Wukong, what are you doing here?"

"I was doing my morning exercise. When I got hungry after my exercise, I caught it to eat," Wukong blinked and said innocently.

"Oh, morning exercise?" Naruto nodded in sudden realization.

But the next second, he suddenly looked at Wukong and exclaimed in astonishment, "Wait, morning exercise? It's not even morning yet, why are you exercising so early?"

Wukong replied instinctively, "It's already morning, but the lights aren't on. Come to think of it, this thing is making it hard for me to tell day from night anymore."

He scratched his head in frustration.

Naruto looked completely bewildered.

A lamp? What kind of lamp?

Oh, those are the lights mounted on the turtle shells above, but aren't they just lights that simulate outside light? Why do they need to be turned on?

Wait, Wukong just said it's already morning??

Naruto suddenly realized this, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Wukong, you... you're saying it's already morning?!"

"Yes." Wukong nodded subconsciously.

Upon seeing Naruto's shocked expression, he suddenly remembered what Yamato had told him: Naruto must not know about this. So he immediately covered his mouth.

"Oh no, it's not morning yet, I misspoke." He blinked his eyes, looking incredibly adorable.

But his explanation was no longer effective.

Even if Naruto is usually slow-witted, he could tell that something was wrong with Goku at this moment.

Thinking back to the strange events of the past two days, Naruto suddenly clenched his fists, his face turning somewhat grim.

Without much thought, he immediately entered immortal mode.

With the super-wide perception ability brought by Sage Mode, he quickly sensed the battlefield more than a thousand kilometers away.

In an instant, images of slaughter, bloodshed, and death flooded my mind.

"Damn it! War has broken out!" Naruto's face was ashen as he sensed this.

He knew he had been deceived. Perhaps the purpose of sending him here to cultivate was indeed to improve his strength, but it was not so that he could exert more strength on the battlefield. Rather, it was an excuse to send him here and prevent him from participating in the war.

"War?" Wukong blinked in confusion.

Throughout the entire process, no one actually mentioned any war to him. Jiraiya said that they had to deal with a troublesome enemy, and Yamato said that Naruto should not participate in the battle against the enemy.

Of course, he had seen quite a few people at the Allied Shinobi Forces headquarters, but he never associated it with war. However, he was just passing through there and left quickly. If he had stayed longer, he would have heard news of the war.

In short, he had no idea what kind of war was going to break out; he only thought that Jiraiya and his men were just going to deal with a troublesome enemy, along with some of the enemy's subordinates.

"Yes! So many people have died! I have to get there to support them immediately!" Naruto said through gritted teeth, while looking up to search for a way out.

When Wukong heard that many people had died, his expression immediately became serious.

He now knew that the situation might be different from what he had thought, so he concentrated and used his breath to sense the outside world.

That's right. Although his Observation Haki can't cover that far, his Aura Perception range is very large, enough to perceive the situation on half a planet.

At that moment, he quickly discovered a place where the human presence was decreasing every second.

"Naruto, I'm coming too!"

Upon discovering this situation, Wukong immediately decided to go there and stop it.

Although his Observation Haki didn't cover a large area, it was enough to cover the entire turtle island. So he quickly used his Observation Haki to find an exit hidden in the turtle shell, and led Naruto out of the space inside the turtle shell and into the outside world.

"Damn it! We're so far away! Even if we rush there now, it'll take at least half a day."

Looking at the boundless ocean, Naruto said unwillingly.

If he had discovered this sooner, he could have gotten to the battlefield sooner. But now, by the time he arrives, who knows how many more people will have died.

Wukong rubbed his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

"Got it!"

He grabbed Naruto, who was about to jump onto the sea and start his journey, and told him to wait there for a moment. Then he slipped back into the space inside the turtle shell.

In about five seconds, he returned to the same spot carrying a thick tree trunk.

Naruto was completely bewildered. What was going on?

Before he could figure out what was going on, Goku suddenly threw the tree trunk he was carrying on his shoulder into the air, then grabbed the bewildered Naruto, and with even greater speed, leaped up to catch up with the tree trunk that was hurtling through the air, and stood steadily on it.

That's right, this is the method of traveling that he learned from Tao Pai Pai: the Pillar Flight Technique!

With his skills, he could reach the battlefield using the Flying Technique, but his speed was not fast under normal circumstances, and to unleash a sufficiently fast speed would consume too much of his own energy.

So he remembered the method Tao Pai Pai had used before, which not only allowed him to get to the battlefield quickly enough, but also saved him a lot of energy, and allowed him to take Naruto with him. It was a win-win-win situation!

Just as the two disappeared into the horizon on the tree trunk, Killer Bee, who had noticed their movements, led Yamato and the others out of the exit to chase after them.

The next moment, he looked around blankly.

Where are the people?

...

Where did the people who were just here go?
