Uchiha's personal opinion

Uchiha Tokumitsu said nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty is wise..."

The White Snake Immortal sighed inwardly and bowed respectfully.

"Then go ahead, just be careful, White Snake Immortal."

Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded, agreeing to the White Snake Sage's 'request'.

"Thank you for your permission, Your Majesty!"

The White Snake Immortal gave a perfunctory bow, then immediately leaped into the sea, revealing his enormous true form as he sank into the ocean depths.

Judging from his practiced manner, the White Snake Sage clearly already knew about the gap in the Red Line continent, which leads directly from Fishman Island to the New World, 10,000 meters below the sea. This also shows that during his time stationed on Touka Island, the White Snake Sage frequently sent out his ninja snakes to investigate intelligence on the mainland.

"It can be considered a well-thought-out plan..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu marveled, but still had no intention of interfering.

"His Majesty……"

Sakumo Hatake still had some doubts about this, feeling that they couldn't just let the brooding White Snake Sage out of their sight.

"It's alright..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

After all, whether it's the Navy Admirals or the Three Emperors of the Sea, they are all top-tier powerhouses whose strength should not be underestimated. Even for the White Snake Sage, it would be no easy task to snatch chestnuts from the fire.

Moreover, with all eight tailed beasts gathered here, and the main forces of the five expeditionary armies also assembled in this sea area, Uchiha Tokumitsu felt that he could still control the situation.

The reason we haven't directly attacked Mary Geoise along the Reversed Mountain Waterway is simply to let the New World's Marine-Pirate Alliance take the lead and probe the secrets of the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

……

"null!"

Kaido in his Azure Dragon form was the first to spot the World Government fleet led by Kong the Steel Bone. He roared and began to stir up the weather, creating thunder and fire that attacked the fleet below.

Although most of the World Government's fleet consists of incompetent fools, there are still some strong individuals among them, which is why they are currently able to barely withstand Kaido's attacks.

Kong, on the other hand, was staring blankly at Kaido in the sky.

Charlotte Linlin and Jhin then rushed to the battlefield and launched an attack on the fleet at sea from the air as well.

The World Government fleet, under immense pressure, was immediately overwhelmed.

As thunder and fire rained down from the sky, the World Government fleet's air defense formation was immediately torn apart by the fierce force, and some ships began to catch fire or even explode.

But Steelbone Sky still hasn't made a move.

"How boring..."

Kaido, in his Azure Dragon form, grinned, his terrifying and ferocious laughter echoing through the heavens and earth, chilling the soldiers of the World Government fleet to the bone.

Meanwhile, the navy's fleet had just appeared on the horizon.

Steelbone Sky, who remained unmoved, finally turned his attention to the fleet that was steadily approaching his side.

"As for everyone being here..."

Steelbone sighed, then clasped his hands together and shouted—

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

The navy's wooden warships immediately began to take root and sprout, growing into towering trees almost instantly, forming a sea forest that continues to spread.

The gnarled and intertwined trees struggled and twisted as if they were alive, stretching their bodies toward the sky as if trying to pull the three people down from above.

"What the hell is this?!"

Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and King were all somewhat surprised.

This strange ability is completely different from the Kong I remember, but it is somewhat similar to the Devil Fruit ability of Vice Admiral Aramaki!

"This……"

As the giant tree, resembling a dragon or snake, swept towards their fleet, both Aramaki, who possessed the 'Logia-type Forest Fruit' ability, and Minato Namikaze were taken aback!

What shocked Aramaki was that Kong, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, actually possessed a forest ability stronger than his own, while Minato Namikaze sensed the presence of chakra in this forest that seemed to have its own intelligence!

That's right! It's chakra from the ninja world!

But the problem is, he had never heard of Uchiha Tokumitsu cooperating with the Celestial Dragons of the World Government, so how could the Celestial Dragons possess chakra?

Moreover... judging from the form of its chakra creation, this power undoubtedly comes from the strongest power in the ninja world—Wood Release!

"This...this..."

Minato Namikaze's mind was in complete chaos; he simply didn't know what to say.

Akimichi Tōdō and the others also lost their composure and were completely at a loss.

"Teacher, should we..."

Fortunately, Yahiko and the others, due to their limited knowledge and lack of understanding of the significance of Wood Release, were only slightly shocked before tugging at Minato Namikaze's sleeve and asking, "Stay or go? Or should we send a telegram?"

"Turn the ship around! Don't try to fight Wood Release head-on!"

Minato Namikaze immediately gave the order.

He then roused the three shocked Jonin and instantly returned to the cabin to prepare to send an urgent report.

"This is……"

Sengoku and the others were also somewhat surprised.

Although Kong, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, is extremely secretive about his own intelligence, even Sengoku and others only know that his Devil Fruit is the rarest Mythical Zoan type. But no matter what, it doesn't match the ability to create such a large sea forest!

"Aramaki!"

Sakazuki shouted, "Go and deal with this piece of rotten wood that's getting in the way!"

"...Yes, sir!"

Huang Mu gritted his teeth and agreed.

Then, supported by a flower, he flew forward on his own.

"So solemn and abhorrent!"

Wilderness also created a forest on the sea, but compared to the forest that was perhaps driven by 'Steelbow Sky' himself, it was far inferior in both the thickness of the trees and the forest coverage.

Soon, the sea forest created by Huang Mu was swallowed up by the giant trees that were like dragons and snakes. The trees were then used as nutrients to make the giant trees grow even thicker!

"Is this really the ability of Commander Kong...?"

Gazing through his binoculars at the imposing Steelbone Sky standing atop the forest, Sakazuki murmured to himself.

"……have no idea!"

Sengoku's face was extremely gloomy. He shook his head and said, "But in any case, we can't wait any longer."

"No need to hold back?"

Sakazuki snorted and looked at Sengoku, who had recently become indecisive and prone to changing his mind.

"Don't take his life..."

Although he felt somewhat uneasy, Sengoku still believed that the advantage was in his hands.

After all, Kong's abilities were not beyond his comprehension; they were probably just the World Government's secret trump card, so there was no need to overthink it. Moreover, for the current Marine-Pirate Alliance, the most important thing was to be wary of the World Government's 'secret weapon' attack.

"Bah!"

With a roar, Sengoku leaped into the air, and a giant golden Buddha appeared, standing on the solid ice sea that Kuzan had created at the opportune moment, charging towards the forest of giant trees that resembled a cluster of dragons.

Sakazuki and Kizaru then transformed their bodies into elemental forms and launched an attack on the imposing Kong.

Meanwhile, Kaido and his crew, who were being driven away by the giant tree tentacles, were also intently waiting for the clash between Sengoku and the now particularly mysterious Kong, and were ready to unleash a thunderous attack.

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

"Steelbow Kong" roared again, and the giant wooden tentacles that were swirling towards the Marine-Pirate Alliance immediately condensed into a knot, transforming into a wooden figure as tall as the golden Buddha of the Warring States period!

"It really is Wood Release..."

Minato Namikaze, who had just stepped out of the room after sending the telegram, stared blankly at the tall wooden figure that was violently colliding with the golden Buddha.

But what surprised him even more was yet to come—

Kong shouted again, and this time even Minato Namikaze, who was quite far away, could hear it clearly—

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Minato Namikaze heard it very clearly; this was the language of the ninja world!

and so--

"The legendary Lord Hashirama!"

Minato Namikaze, as if his hair had been blown off, immediately teleported back to the radio room and sent the information to Tokumitsu Uchiha!

Chapter 566 The 'God' Who Suppressed the Rebellion

After his death and the dissipation of his power, Hashirama Senju, once hailed as the 'God of Shinobi,' slept for countless years.

Until a month ago, Hashirama Senju was awakened by the Lord of the Pure Land, the legendary Sage of Six Paths, and was able to reappear in the human world by taking over the body of an alien. Under duress, he had to do some things that were somewhat against his own nature.

For example, leading native troops to their deaths.

Although Hashirama Senju, after taking over the body of Kong, the former commander-in-chief of the World Government's army, had no feelings for these natives who were fighting against the ninja world, and had no pity for them, this approach still somewhat contradicted his principles.

Therefore, before these native armies were completely slaughtered, he activated the Wood Release technique, creating a protective forest for the native army and launching a counterattack all by himself.

"What a wonderful blend..."

After being adjusted by the Sage of Six Paths who controlled 'Lord Im's' body, Hashirama Senju's soul had merged with Sora Senju's body. Not only could he unleash the near-infinite chakra advantage of his Pure Land reincarnation, but he could also maximize the power of this world, that is, the so-called Devil Fruit ability.

However, Hashirama Senju did not know how long this state could be maintained, because as the Wood Release technique continued to deplete his energy, Hashirama Senju also sensed that his soul essence was beginning to experience a slight but irreversible depletion.

In other words, if he continues to squander his power, his fate will be...

"This is really interesting..."

Although his heart was still with the ninja world and his Senju clan, Hashirama Senju quickly put aside his distractions and began to devote himself entirely to the battle.
