Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

After all, the map provided by the Navy certainly doesn't include the naval base markings.

"Take this money to help you rebuild the town. I hope I can come here to eat again in the future." Rope Tree was carrying a bag containing treasure worth about five million Berries.

"This...this isn't quite right..." Butler saw the bag of money and suddenly felt that he might have been rude just now, actually speaking ill of a group of 'good people'.

"Keep it..." Rope Tree smiled as he looked at the girl in the crowd and the girl's mother, whose head injury had been treated.

The little girl mustered her courage, stepped out of her mother's arms, and waved at Nawaki: "Big brother! Become a great pirate when you grow up!"

"Hmm!" Rope Tree wiped away the tears of sadness from parting and walked towards the tall pirate ship docked at the port.

That was a large ship belonging to the Buggy Pirates.

—Circus Head.

At this moment, after Hancock's 'kind reminder' that if all the members of Buggy's Pirates were unwilling to board the ship, their petrified state might accidentally shatter and kill them, all the members of the pirate crew obediently lined up and walked towards the top of the pirate ship, each with a long face as if they were about to enter hell.

"Goodbye!" Rope Tree waved as he reached the railing of the Circus Pavilion. "Go back now!"

"goodbye--"

"I must become an even more powerful pirate!"

"A hundred million is already quite an achievement..."

"What are you talking about! There's still no portrait here! We'll definitely see a portrait next time!"

The Orange Town incident has come to a successful conclusion, and Luffy and Zoro have temporarily boarded Hancock's ship. After all, who would want to ride in that broken little boat when there's a big ship available?

Luffy, however, felt a sense of regret and resentment at having his navigator taken away.

"Um... Hancock, could I have Nami?"

Hancock shook her head and refused outright, "No. This is for an important crew member I'm looking for."

"Extraordinary? Who is that?"

Zoro read the newspaper and immediately recognized the man. "Your captain... could he be missing?"

"Um... cough cough, what kind of person is the captain?" Nami asked, seizing the opportunity.

"He was a very handsome boy." Hancock's eyes began to recall the scenes from the past. "He was the savior who rescued me from the evil Celestial Dragons!"

"Celestial Dragons?" Zoro had never heard of this term before and asked in confusion, "Are they powerful figures?"

Luffy: "Is it delicious?"

Nami: "That sounds terrifying."

Nawaki returned to the deck from the cockpit and, upon hearing Zoro and the others' remarks, couldn't help but explain, "The Celestial Dragons' strength isn't that scary. The main reason is probably their high status. If danger arises, the Navy's highest-ranking admirals can be deployed at any time to protect them."

"A...Navy Admiral?!" x3

Even in such a small place, no one knew what a powerful figure a naval admiral was, but upon hearing that he was the highest-ranking officer in the navy, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Meanwhile, in the cockpit, threatened by Mitarashi Anko's venomous snake, the crew of Buggy's pirate ship obediently steered the ship under Mitarashi Anko's supervision, while the rest of the crew, including Buggy, stayed obediently in the corner of the deck.

The group began their sea voyage to the next town, and night gradually fell.

In the Naruto world, after a day and a night of travel, Pakura successfully stepped into the long-awaited desert region of the Land of Wind.

Even a normal Konoha Jonin, during wartime, would need about three days and two nights to travel from Konoha Village, across the Land of Fire, through the Land of Rivers, and to the Land of Wind.

At this time, when there was no war or friction, there were only a handful of patrol teams on the border, and they did not even set up camps on the border, but were stationed in small towns near the border.

Therefore, Pakura's invasion went unnoticed by the Sand Village ninjas, just like the situation during the Konoha Collapse.

Less than an hour later, three more figures appeared behind them.

"The Jonin Sagumo has already been spotted and shaken off by Pakura. The Second Hokage probably didn't expect Pakura's speed and stamina to be so enduring..." Uchiha Rei sighed helplessly.

"Hmph! Senju's second brother claims to be very clever, but I think he's nothing special." Although Madara saw through Senju Tobirama's scheme, it didn't mean he would let go of the opportunity to belittle him.

"We can hear Pakura's footsteps ahead. It's been a while. Let's hurry and catch up!" Uchiha Izumi sensed the lingering chakra ahead while using Observation Haki to probe the area and reminded the two of the trail.

Madara Uchiha nodded slightly. At the same time, he learned about the two women's Observation Haki during their journey, which aroused his curiosity and desire to possess it.

This perceptive ability is even stronger than magical arts.

He followed the two women and walked straight ahead.

A few minutes later, Tsunade reappeared from behind. "Damn it. Was I too slow again?"

She saw the marks left by the Uchiha team. The marks were still fresh, most likely just left, which meant that the other side had not caught up with Pakura.

With that thought in mind, Tsunade stopped and continued forward.

The raging sandstorm made the group heading to Sunagakure feel somewhat uncomfortable. Yekura skillfully took out a white cloth and sunglasses, covering her face and eyes, and then used chakra to create a barrier, so that she wouldn't be easily disturbed by the sand while traveling.

It's harder to break down the other temporary people.

Their travel speed dropped significantly in an instant. After all, the combination of high-speed movement and the sandstorms in the desert was practically a human-shaped sandstorm, and the group of people, acting as a 'sandstorm,' couldn't spare any attention to block the sand.

"I can't take it anymore! Susanoo!"

Uchiha Rei had a good idea: to simply use Susanoo to block the surrounding sand.

The result was surprisingly good.

Izumi also awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye and the Rinnegan in his left eye, forming an orange Susanoo on his body, which, along with Rei's white Susanoo, was in its first stage.

Uchiha Madara: ......

Madara Uchiha, who had not realized that the two women possessed the Rinnegan, was instantly caught off guard.

"Why do you all have... *spit*." A handful of sand slapped Madara in the mouth. "Ptooey! Ptooey! Susanoo!"

The first stage of the deep blue Susanoo wrapped around Madara's body, while simultaneously using chakra to blast away the sand in his mouth.

"Is Madara-senpai referring to our Rinnegan?" Uchiha Rei asked.

Madara Uchiha nodded gravely: "Yes."

Uchiha Izumi chuckled and said, "We were rewards from the dungeon, otherwise how could we possibly have Madara-senpai's strength... It's just that Madara-senpai hasn't told us what plan he and Obito are going to carry out yet..."

"..." Madara Uchiha fell silent again and began to change the subject. "That wasn't an important plan. It was more likely that Obito intended to control me to carry out his plan to become the Sage of Six Paths. Only he knows the specifics."

Under Madara Uchiha's immense power, the emotions that could be sensed by Observation Haki were very elusive.

Although the two women vaguely sensed that Madara Uchiha was lying, after he denied it, they exchanged a glance, shrugged helplessly, and continued to drive their Susanoo towards Pakura.

The Sand Village squad on duty, dressed in white coats to protect themselves from the wind and sand, carried an oil lamp and yawned, saying, "Sigh. We patrol every six hours. I really don't know which stupid ninja came from to invade our remote and impoverished area."

“We’ve calculated it here. I heard that in the Land of Fire, they patrol about once an hour.” The Sand Village ninja held an oil lamp in one hand and counted on his fingers with the other. “A patrol takes at least ten or twenty minutes, so if they go back and forth once an hour, that’s almost 24-hour patrol.”

"The ninjas of the Land of Fire must be very rich, right? They eat delicious food and live in nice houses every day... Ugh—I'm so envious!!! I wish we could be like that someday."

"Takimoto, what are you thinking! We are loyal Sand Village ninjas! How can you say such things! What if other people hear us?"

"I was just making a comment. No matter what, we can't become ninjas from the Land of Fire... Wait, aren't there a few lanterns flying ahead?"

The team of four, including a Sand Village ninja named Takimoto, looked ahead at three lanterns of different colors that had suddenly appeared.

"Is that a lantern?" The captain of the Sand Village squad frowned. "Could this be an attack?"

"That was fast! It disappeared in an instant. It must have been a mirage."

Hearing his teammate's comment, the squad leader nodded: "That's right. We always encounter these strange phantoms in the desert. Besides, apart from Yunyin, no one else has this glowing pattern, right?"

"What mode is that? Captain, tell me quickly."

"It's the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. It's said to be a powerful ninjutsu that only the Raikage lineage is qualified to inherit, and you need a strong physique to learn it."

"I'm so envious... That dark blue one was probably Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and the other orange and white ones... Hey! There's another lantern that looks like dark gold!"

"The mirages tonight are really something else, appearing one after another in the middle of the night... I hope nothing bad happens." The captain of the Sand Village squad stroked his chin.

"Captain, you're overthinking it. What could possibly happen now that the ninja world is at peace?"

"Yes."

Just as the squad was patrolling forward and preparing to return, they suddenly bumped into the Konoha Anbu, which was emitting a blue light.

"?"

"Damn it! Konoha's Anbu! What are you doing on our Land of Wind's territory?!" The Sand Village captains became wary of Hatake Sagumo upon seeing him.

Hatake Sagumo's actions were interrupted by the group. He raised his hands, panting heavily, and his Lightning Release chakra began to dissipate due to insufficient chakra.

"I...huff...I...huff..."

"Speak! Don't move! Otherwise we'll take action!" The Sand Village captain knew that the five great nations were currently in an alliance phase, and they couldn't easily make a move.

"I...huff...you guys...wait a minute, I...I need to catch my breath..." Hatake Sagumo felt like his lungs were about to explode. He had rushed from Konoha Village for a day and a night without stopping. If it weren't for Tsunade-sama healing him with chakra along the way, he might still be lagging behind with the Anbu squad in the forest of the Land of Rivers.

Chapter 134 The Invincible Yekura! The Sand Village, Soon to Become History!

Sand Hidden Village.

In the dead of night, many houses in the village had lights on, adding a touch of modernity to this village where the bright moonlight was blocked by wind and sand, and where the facilities were outdated and there were no streetlights.

In a corner of a house, nine-year-old Gaara was alone in the living room, looking up at the night sky, which was mostly obscured by sandstorms.

Inside the residence of the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, lived Temari, who had just graduated this year at the age of twelve, his eldest son Kankuro, who was eleven and would graduate next year, and the Fourth Kazekage, who had been busy all day and was fast asleep in the master bedroom.

The purpose of attending the ninja academy was actually to build closer relationships with other families, elders, and their children.

Because of his withdrawn personality, Gaara was disliked and feared even at school. So after Kankuro graduated, Gaara would also graduate and go on a mission together.

This is one of the reasons why a young boy develops a violent mentality upon his first encounter with killing.

Of course, the incident with his uncle Yashamaru when he was six years old was the real beginning.

However, Gaara, who was born to kill, will not appear again, because someone has fought his way to the gates of Sunagakure alone tonight.

"who are you?"

"This is Sunagakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages! Outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

The woman who appeared on the outskirts of Sunagakure in the middle of the night, wearing a white robe to protect herself from the wind and sand, did not look like an ordinary person or a merchant who came to Sunagakure to trade.

Where is Luo Sha now?

"How dare you! You actually address the Fourth Hokage by his full name, who do you think you are...?"

Before the Sand Village ninja could finish speaking, the woman in front of her removed the white cloth from her face, revealing a bun hairstyle and a stunningly beautiful young face.

The clouds in the sky seemed to be cooperating with Yekura at this moment, and moonlight slowly appeared, with a ray of moonlight falling on Yekura's face.

At that moment, the oil lamp in the hand of the questioning Sand Village ninja clattered to the ground.

"Lord Ye Cang..."

"how come..."

Pakura had already revealed her resurrection, but the people of Sunagakure believed that Pakura had already betrayed Sunagakure and should not appear in front of Sunagakure. Instead, she had been quietly staying in the Land of Fire and 'living a life of hiding'.

But now...

Soon, the Sunagakure ninja regained his composure, picked up the oil lamp that had been extinguished by his fall, and dusted it off: "Lady Yekura, we'll pretend we didn't see you today. Please go back. Sunagakure doesn't need you anymore."

The Sand Village ninjas maintained their respect, but the assassination of the Fourth Kazekage had eroded many Sand Village ninjas' good impression of Pakura. Even though Pakura was one of the 'saviors,' the Sand Village ninjas could not mention Pakura's name openly.

This was the Fourth Kazekage's willful act, aimed at preventing Pakura from returning to Sunagakure, otherwise his position as Kazekage might be unstable!

"I'm not here to return to Sunagakure."

Ye Cang's beautiful eyes swept over the two of them, then looked at the village, which remained as dilapidated as ever.

The environment of Konoha Village, or even any town in the Land of Fire, is better than that of Sunagakure Village!

Is this Rasa's method?

She's been dead for almost ten years, yet Sunagakure hasn't changed at all?!

No wonder they didn't send a single person out last time the 'Ghost Story Game' appeared; they openly broke away from the Five Great Nations Alliance, fearing they might lose a Jonin...

In contrast, which major country didn't send representatives?

Even the former Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki, was present!

"Then..." The Sand Village ninja wanted to say something, but the next second he felt a sudden pain in his chest. An incredulous look appeared on his face, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes widened as he looked at Yekura, who had appeared in front of him in an instant.

"Ye...Ye Cang...you...for..."

The Sand Village ninja next to her was also pierced through the chest by Pakura's hand. Terrifying wind-style chakra enveloped the girl's arms, perfectly forming two sharp wind blades shaped like arms.
