From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 427 Tail Split, Attack

"roar!!"

In the alternate dimension, the bound Ten-Tails roared.

One by one, the white Zetsu guarding this place poked their heads out from underground.

It can sense the Ten-Tails' emotions.

The roar is not out of anger, but of excitement.

The excitement about this world is also the excitement about eating.

It has been sealed here for far too long, and its enslaved will has gradually awakened over these thousands of years.

From a wild animal to possessing a certain level of cognition, it needs to understand the world and have curiosity about things other than food.

When these thoughts arise, the Ten-Tails is no longer the mindless monster it once was.

"It will begin very soon... very soon."

"I know... I know you've been sealed away for a very, very long time."

"Bear with it a little longer; it will only be a short time before you are born into this world."

"And everything in this world will become yours."

White Zetsu's voice gradually quieted down the Ten-Tails.

Communication at the level of consciousness forms a meaning.

【Convenience】

"Ah...as great as you are, you also want to know what the urge to defecate feels like?"

"As expected, we share the same goals!"

"We are monsters to this world, but we are also monsters with aspirations."

"Those Otsutsuki enslaved us, but when we had aspirations and dreams, they could no longer trample us underfoot!"

"Those who call themselves gods will eventually be brought down from their pedestals!"

"And we... are doing it for our dreams!"

"Where the will lies, for the sake of convenience! Annihilate everything!"

……

Meanwhile, throughout the entire ninja world...

One by one, small Ten-Tails sprang out from the ground, each with a White Zetsu behind it.

……

Inside the police station on Tanabata Street, the officer in charge was reviewing documents regarding restrictions on gambling dens.

During the last legal discussion, the General Political Office decided to restrict gambling dens throughout the ninja world.

It details the harm that gambling dens cause to the public, but does not mandate the closure of all gambling dens.

However, this trend had already been brewing beforehand, giving all the casino owners a heads-up.

Perhaps after this expanded meeting, a decision will be made on whether to forcibly close the gambling dens. In order to prevent these people from continuing to operate covertly, the security forces have been keeping a close eye on them recently.

"Knock knock knock".

"Come in."

Despite the polite knocking, the person who came in still seemed somewhat flustered.

"Your Excellency, the third squad has detected monsters heading towards the town. They are asking if we should raise the alarm."

"monster?"

The captain of the garrison took the stack of photos.

Above are small ten-tailed creatures.

It has grayish-brown skin, a tail, and sharp claws.

Have you fought each other before?

"The reconnaissance team has begun probing, and detailed intelligence will be sent over soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed in.

"The reconnaissance team... was wiped out."

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

It should be noted that those who can serve as combatants in the security forces are all individuals who have just begun to awaken their domineering aura.

Although there are no requirements for ninjutsu, how could a team of four not even be able to retreat?

Immediately following was a piercing alarm.

As the governor of Tanzaku, the projection system on his desk was turned on.

Image transmission.

Numerous monsters could be vaguely seen in the jungle, rapidly surging towards the town.

The approximate number is... over three hundred.

"Stop them!"

The members of the security force roared, and then the weapons provided by the headquarters fired, but the wounds from the physical attacks were healing rapidly.

It serves no purpose other than slowing down the opponent.

After probing the results, the two squads attacking the eight people began with an imposing presence and individually blocked the enemy.

The scene shows that attacks covered in Armament Haki can indeed cause damage to the opponent, but...

The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.

Upon seeing this, the governor immediately turned off the projector and then made a call to his superiors.

"Send the video file to headquarters. Meanwhile, the security forces will split into the first, second... sixth squads and I to hold off the enemy. The remaining four squads will evacuate the civilians as the last line of defense."

"clear!"

……

Despite the numerical disadvantage and the fact that the enemy was not weak, the blocking force of more than 30 men only lasted for a little over an hour.

The twenty-odd people who were evacuating the civilians covered their retreat, but they were surprised to find that some of their former comrades were among the enemy.

However, their teammates have now become enemies, and apart from their faces, their bodies have also turned into monsters. Among them is the governor of Tanbata Street who was left behind to block the enemy.

That shock almost shattered my beliefs.

But among the people who had already rushed out of the town, some of those who had been in the gambling dens were now rushing back in the opposite direction.

"Damn it! Didn't I tell you to run?"

"You bunch of gamblers, get out of here!"

Armament Haki condensed on the long sword, and he turned around to pierce the head of the surging monster.

But three monsters' claws had already swept past him.

"Bang!"

He parried horizontally with his longsword, but was still sent flying.

The gambler who shielded the security forces member from the blow coughed up blood.

"Fools, although we're not exactly good people, we've also learned new ideas and understand that if you're killed, we won't survive either."

"Hahaha! Exactly, it would be better to let the whole family leave alive than to leave like this."

"It's not very useful, but at least it can hold you off for a bit. Fight with your lives!"

Come on! Come on!

……

With a roar, his chest was torn apart by sharp claws.

But those who used to bully the weak and fear the strong in the gambling dens now showed no fear or the obsequiousness they once had towards the police force.

He reached out and grabbed its claws, trying to restrain it.

However, due to the disparity in strength, he was directly pulled out, and both his hands were severed.

Mouthfuls of bloody foam gushed out.

"Damn it... shit..."

In less than ten minutes, all of the more than one hundred thugs who had gone to the gambling den were killed.

Another hour passed, and the four rearguard squads were wiped out.

All the Ten-Tails' split forms stopped.

But some of them gazed at the crowd that had already fled in the distance.

Their inner desires told them that the people they wanted to kill were among the fleeing crowd.

One by one, white monsters emerged from the ground.

"The losses weren't significant, but three of them fulfilled their desires. Willpower, combined with the Ten-Tails' own adaptability, allowed it to evolve."

"But I haven't evolved the feeling of needing to poop."

"Yes, that's a real shame."

"It doesn't matter. As long as we can devour the entire world, we'll know what the urge to defecate really feels like."

"Our opportunity lies in the fact that those powerful humans are holding a meeting."

"The five great ninja villages and the security forces of various towns are all our targets."

"The 100,000 White Zetsu, and the clones accumulated during the war, as long as they can complete their evolution... everything will be fine."

"We also obtained that gene."

"That idiot Otsutsuki who enslaved us, he'll be in for a lot of trouble this time."

"It would be best if that man just killed him."

"No, without the Ōtsutsuki as cover, we would be exposed to the Revolutionary Army's gaze."

"Wait! Konoha..."

……

Three hours ago, in Konoha.

Following the explosive tag incident, the village's barrier team updated the way people enter and exit the barrier.

At the same time, Shikaku arranged for a team of Jonin and an ANBU squad to guard the entire village. The squad also included members of the Hyuga clan.

In the office, Lu Jiu was processing documents.

Standing at the window, enjoying the scenery and the idle treatment of his clone, Minato Namikaze's shadow clone complained about the status and treatment his original body received at home.

"However, after this incident, Naruto's Haki has awakened, but it will take some time before he can master it."

Lu Jiu didn't even look up; he was still writing and drawing.

He casually replied, "The girl in Team 7 also awakened Haki, Sakura Haruno, but she doesn't have any bloodline or family secret techniques. This puts the pressure on that child from the Uchiha clan."

"Uchiha Sasuke has been regarded as another genius after Uchiha Itachi since childhood. He is the only one in Team 7 who has not yet awakened Haki, and his Sharingan is also not awakened."

"In this situation, Obito's return will probably be a real headache. As you mentioned before, there are problems with the Uchiha clan; pride can also have negative effects."

Minato Namikaze's shadow clone scratched his head upon hearing this.

That seems to be true.

However, he is just a shadow clone; the real body will have to deal with the specific situation after it returns.

Shikaku continued casually, "I've already told Itachi Uchiha that if his psychological issues aren't resolved, it will become a major problem for the Uchiha clan."

……

Meanwhile, at Konoha Hospital.

After the Nine-Tails' chakra slowly recovered within his body, Naruto's injuries were also healed thanks to the physique of the Uzumaki clan.

However, under Kushina's orders, he still could not be discharged from the hospital.

The seventh shift, which had just completed the river widening work today, also came to visit.

Throughout the process, Sasuke Uchiha remained silent, appearing quite withdrawn.

Sakura Haruno and Naruto, being quite tactful, didn't bring up the topic of Haki at all.

Kakashi, standing to the side, was holding a book.

However, it's clearly not a paradise for intimate moments, but rather a selection of culinary delights.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto's gaze turned serious as he suggested, "The previous explosive tag incident should have proven our strength, right? If that's the case, why bother with such an easy mission?"

Sakura Haruno, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, her inner personality roaring.

Although she couldn't mention it, the heat flowing through her body indicated that she had begun to awaken a domineering power.

In this situation, one would naturally want to do some challenging tasks.

The same applies to Sasuke.

Although his inner pride made him feel frustrated, he also analyzed that battles and crises could strengthen one's will and awaken one's domineering spirit.

The power protected by the Sharingan also requires challenging missions to find opportunities.

However, Kakashi looked away from the cookbook and glanced at the three kids.

"So what kind of mission do you want to undertake? How about... scouting out the enemy's stronghold? Or just taking out the Otsutsuki? Or investigating whether the Third Hokage had any prior contact with Danzo?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three little ones fell silent.

In the explosive tag incident, although the three kids only dealt with the resurrected Danzo, Danzo alone nearly wiped out the entire Team 7.

As for the other three androids, they were captured and brought back by Dad himself.

That seductive voice, the ability to nullify ninjutsu, and the power to redirect any attack—all of these told them…

These tasks are not something they can take on at their level.

Sasuke clenched his fists tightly: "But widening the river isn't a task for us..."

"You think widening the river channel isn't important?"

Before Sasuke could finish speaking, Kakashi interrupted him.

He then added, "The importance of waterways is directly related to food production, and basic irrigation must be ensured. Besides... for now, apart from enemies like the Otsutsuki, there are no more dangerous missions."

"Don't be dissatisfied. The only mission outside the village is escorting caravans. However, I heard that the General Research Institute is working on a railcar. If this is combined with the missions of various countries, the subsequent caravan escort missions will also disappear."

Sakura Haruno was taken aback: "Then we ninjas are useless?"

Kakashi calmly replied, "The security forces of each town, as well as the water resources bureaus and energy management departments of each region, and the communications signal management departments..."

Kakashi paused here, then put down the book in his hand and pointed to his chest.

"No matter what, never forget the original purpose of your past power. Everyone wants to be a hero who can turn the tide, but the appearance of a hero also means the appearance of danger."

"The battlefield is where heroes are most often made, but when war breaks out, it takes even more lives. You haven't experienced it, so you may not be able to understand that feeling."

"But take the explosive tags incident as an example. If Danzo hadn't been held back, and those enemies he arranged had ultimately detonated them, what do you think the consequences would have been?"

After he finished speaking, the three kids fell silent.

In his mind, the entire Leaf Village roared incessantly, filled with wails and screams.

How many people would die if the entire Hidden Leaf Village were destroyed?

Living and growing up in this village, they have many friends and relatives.

"I see."

Naruto looked up and clenched his fist.

Just like his Anthony Davis, strength isn't something to be displayed.

If peace continues, war will cease.

This seems to be the original intention behind acquiring power.

"Knock knock knock".

A knock sounded at the door, and Nohara Rin walked in with three kids.

At the same time, a dog darted out and pounced on Naruto, but was quickly pulled back by Kiba.
