Chiyo's feelings were complicated when she learned of the ghost story.
Because Sunagakure couldn't send many ninjas to fight at the moment, and in order to replenish the number of genin, they even promoted many genin who were already genin-level, not to mention those who were jonin-level.
At this point, Sunagakure no longer had the position of special Jonin, because those who did were promoted to Jonin or Anbu squad leaders.
"Call Maki over."
"Have him bring the students from Class 6 with him."
"Yes!" The Sunagakure Anbu disappeared from the office.
Meanwhile, in Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage, upon learning of this news, shared Chiyo's idea and dispatched a team of new recruits.
The same applies to Rock Hidden and Mist Hidden.
Since the mystery tales don't require players to advance based on their combat strength, sending strong players there would only result in their deaths. It's better to give newcomers a chance to hone their skills.

White clouds filled the sky, and the air was humid.
"There seems to be no one here. Are they just the creatures from the sea of clouds?"
Kakashi had already returned to the top of the clouds, used Fire Release to dry his clothes, pants, headband, and other equipment, put them back on, and floated in the air with the help of Kurotsuchi's power.
"Kid, there's no point in asking me this question," said Onoki, standing nearby.
"Now's the time to use my Den Den Mushi to call Hancock or Red." Kurotsuchi clasped her hands together. "Summoning Jutsu!"
A black-haired Den Den Mushi appeared in mid-air, mixed with white mist.
After taking in its surroundings, the Den Den Mushi's eyes widened, and it mumbled incoherently.
With a soft "plop," he was caught by Kurotsuchi, who used the Float-Float Fruit to make him float in the air. "Don't worry, I'm here."
Kurotsuchi comforted its own Den Den Mushi, and the anthropomorphic Den Den Mushi rubbed against Kurotsuchi's palm, expressing that it had received comfort from the other party.
"—Purrlurlurl"
"Hey."
The kind-hearted black Den Den Mushi suddenly becomes aloof, and its hair begins to grow longer.
“It’s me, Kurotsuchi. Do you remember me, Miss Hancock?”
Hancock, feeling the sea breeze, nodded slightly and said to the Den Den Mushi, "It's you. The signal sounds much better than before. Have you come over now?"
"Hmm~ We're currently above a sea of clouds, and below the clouds there are also oceans and continents, so I wanted to ask if you know anything about it."
"From what you've said, it does sound a bit like Sky Island. But I haven't been there, so I can't provide you with any more information. I heard from my subordinates who have been there that there are two factions constantly fighting on Sky Island, so be careful."
"Oh, I see. But we haven't even met a single person yet..."
"Someone!"
Xiao Nan interrupted Hei Tu's speech. The girl looked down and, sure enough, saw a wild man dressed like an Indian riding a skateboard.
He raised the silver rocket launcher in his hand, seemingly preparing to attack.
"An enemy?" Onoki also formed a Dust Release technique, intending to test his strength against the local forces.
Just as the battle was about to break out, the Sky Knights appeared.
It struck the Shandian warrior in the face with a loud thud, successfully saving the child's life.
"Are you alright, everyone?" After kicking the Shandian warrior into the sea, the Sky Knight used the recoil to return to his pink Pegasus Pierre.
"Wow—you Blue Ocean people can actually fly!!"
After returning to Tianma and regaining his footing, he was suddenly surprised to find that the people in the sky were flying without any power, which was something he had never heard of before!
Onoki's Dust Release technique vanished. "Let me ask you something. What was going on with that guy just now? Why did he attack us as soon as he saw us?"
“That’s a long story. You must be from the Blue Sea, right? My name is Gan Fall, and I’m a Sky Knight,” Gan Fall introduced himself. “I’m also a mercenary. If you need my help, just blow your whistle, and it will cost you five million Ikels each time.”
Also, this time it's free.
He had no intention of revealing any information about the place, and mounted the strange-looking pink Pegasus to leave.
"Wait a minute, Grandpa, you haven't told us yet." Black Earth realized this and quickly flew to Gan Fall to ask.
Gan Fall looked at the little girl, stroked his white beard, and asked, "So... what do you think of twenty million Irkutsk?"
"Grandpa, we don't have a single penny."
“I see…” Gan Fall smiled. “Then there’s nothing to talk about.”
"..." Kurotsuchi saw Gan Fall trying to run away and silently raised her right hand, "Susanoo!"
A green light appeared on Black Earth's body, and his right hand formed a giant palm, grabbing Pierre who was about to take off. "Don't leave until you tell us."
"You're robbers!!!" Gan Fall discovered another strange ability, which terrified him so much that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
After taking several deep breaths, he looked at Kurotsuchi and said seriously, "The Sky Island is not peaceful right now. If you have the ability to leave, you should leave as soon as possible."
“Otherwise, you might be discovered by the god who rules over this sky island…” Gan Fall felt that his old bones were no match for the little girl in front of him, and he could only use that guy he couldn’t defeat to put pressure on her.
"Gods?" Kurotsuchi's eyes narrowed, and he turned to look at the others. "There are gods in this world? Should we go and see them?"
Xiao Nan's lips twitched: "Could it be Bu Fan again...?"
Kakashi wiped the sweat from his brow. "No way, let's just go down then."
Onoki nodded slightly. He was also afraid of the word 'god'. There was nothing wrong with being an ordinary ninja.
Seeing that Black Earth's companions were all planning to give up, Gan Fall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Samui quietly used his Observation Haki to watch the old man's charade.
Suddenly, Mei Terumi felt something was off, because this old man didn't seem very strong. Could the god he was referring to be just bragging? "Could you give me a rough idea of that god's strength?"
Upon hearing this, Gan Fulton immediately began praising Enel, who had eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and tried his best to escape from the 'bandits' who came from the Blue Sea.
If even the young Heitu is this amazing, he can't imagine how strong the others are.
Chapter 139 The group, having committed a capital offense, decides to kill 'God'.
Back in the East Blue, Hancock roughly understood Kurotsuchi's current situation. After learning that the group was alright, she turned off the Den Den Mushi and explained the general situation of Kurotsuchi and the other six to Kurotsuchi.
Kurenai Yuhi gave a wry smile. "I see. They went to an island in the sky, and the clouds were even divided into island clouds and sea clouds that you could stand on... That sounds a bit like a fantasy."
"That sounds really fun!! Can we go?!" Rope Tree exclaimed excitedly.
"What are those Sky Islands? Can you eat them?" Luffy stroked his chin.
boom!
"Idiot!" Nami exclaimed, raising her smoking fist. "It's obviously an island in the sky!"
“But even you locals don’t know where it is, so it’s probably quite far,” said Mitarashi Anko.
Rope Tree raised his hand, an idea forming in his mind: "Why don't we go ask Usopp and the others?"
"Oh yeah! Zoro might know too." Luffy turned to look at Zoro, who was doing push-ups on the Going Merry, Johnny, who was resting against the deck, and Usopp, who was operating the gun mount to practice firing the cannons. "Hey! Zoro! Usopp! Johnny! Do you guys even know what Skypiea is?!"
Luffy's shout made Zoro, who was covered in sweat, frown. "Huh?! What Sky Island?"
Just then, Johnny seemed to remember something, "I think I've heard someone mention a legend about a sky island in the Grand Line, I wonder if it's that one..."
"The Grand Line, Skypiea?! How interesting!!" Usopp exclaimed in surprise.
The sound reached Hancock's ears, and she was surprised that Black Soil was even faster than them.
"In that case, let them go to the Grand Line as the vanguard."
"In the name of justice."
-
Sky Island: Gate to Heaven.
It is a hexagonal gate made of gold, which looks very magnificent.
An elderly woman inside the building, who looked like an angel but was actually wearing white wings as decoration, saw several people floating in the air preparing to pass through the checkpoint and took a few photos with her camera.
then.
"Aaaaaah—a ghost in broad daylight!!!"
The sight of someone flying through the air gave the elderly woman, named Amazon, a huge fright.
"Is this Amazon, the watchman who guards this gate to heaven? Are your wings real?"
Black Soil landed beside Amazon, curiously examining the white wings on the old woman's back.
"You...you're here to fight?" The old woman, who looked exactly like a sour plum, had never seen such a guy before.
"No, no, no, we're here to find someone, and we're just taking a look around." Black Earth waved his hand. They roughly understood the situation on Sky Island. It was nothing more than two major factions fighting over a piece of land, and in the end, a group of evil guys who interfered took over the divine positions.
And that god was nothing more than a user who had devoured a Logia-type Devil Fruit.
There's only one in their team, what's there to be afraid of!
"I see."
“Then, please each pay one billion Irkuts. Of course, you don’t have to pay,” the old woman whispered.
"One billion?!?!" Kurotsuchi's eyes widened in disbelief. She had forgotten to ask the old man about currency exchange... Wait! Even if she had asked, they didn't have any Berries on hand!
Could it be that they're about to break through...?
Wait a minute!
"You mean it's okay not to pay?" Hei Tu felt a bit confused and couldn't help but look at the old woman.
"Hmm. I was just asking what you think, since I'm neither a gatekeeper nor a guard."
...emmm, if you don't have a boat, you can sit on our crabs, but they're very fast, so you'll have to hold on to their bodies.
"This is a specialty of the White Sea: the Express Shrimp."
The old woman introduced.
The famous White Sea Express Shrimp looks like a giant orange shrimp with two orange claws.
As it looked up, the people above couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"It won't attack us, will it?" Kakashi asked tentatively.
Amazon: "No. It can help you get to the Sky Island."
"I see, it really is... special." Onoki saw that Samui, who possessed the ability to evade physical attacks by transforming into an element and to sense danger with Observation Haki, landed directly on the head of the Express Shrimp, and he landed with peace of mind.
"Then let's set off, Black Soil. No need to ask so many questions." Samui added in his mind, "Asking is pointless. Some of what these people say isn't sincere."
"Okay~" Kurotsuchi stopped paying attention to the old woman's wings and jumped to the top of the Express Shrimp. Kakashi, Mei Terumi, and Konan also landed one after another.
Mei Terumi asked curiously, "This is really interesting. I've never seen this kind of shrimp in the Land of Water. Is it tasty?"
"Gibberish." The express shrimp was embarrassed, and then uttered a sentence in shrimp language that was hard to understand.
"If you hold on tight, you're about to set off," the old woman said, translating for the express shrimp.
"Is everyone ready?" Konan used chakra to firmly adhere to the shell of the express shrimp.
Kakashi, carrying his backpack, said, "Hold on tight."
"Then let's go." As soon as the old woman finished speaking, the Express Shrimp burst into astonishing speed and began to move rapidly towards the Cloud Sea Special Channel, splashing waves everywhere.
The old woman watched the crowd leave and then reported their presence to the priesthood.
There were a total of six illegal intruders.
After reporting, the old woman smiled grimly, saying, "You outsiders dare to scare this old woman like this."
A rumbling sound cut through the impenetrable clouds, and countless water droplets splashed onto the faces of the six people. At this moment, Kurotsuchi had already activated Susanoo to protect herself and the others, preventing them from getting wet.
The sea of clouds that winds through the water is a spiral corridor that soars into the sky.
Before long, they arrived at the Sky Island, three thousand feet above the ground, which was also the Kingdom of Gods.
The white light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
After they got there, everyone finally saw the true appearance of the Sky Island.
This really is an island in the sky!!
