Chapter 278
"If he's a ninja, could we ask him to come...?"
"Cannot!"
Li Yue Sasuke was saying. Since they were both Uchiha, why not let Sasuke take his place, get married, and have children? But Li Yue directly refused the request.
"Don't think about things that are impossible. What you need to do now is come out with us, find a place to have a good fight, and improve your combat experience."
"What kind of combat improvement can you get by fighting ninjas?"
Sasuke now looks down on ninjas. After witnessing the battles between Aizen Old Man Yamamoto, and Yhwach in Soul Society, he sees those who can't cut down a mountain with a single strike as weak, and those who can't stand up in the face of Reiatsu as weak. And now, he sees the ninjas of Konoha as weak.
Even the former Uchiha, in his eyes, were still weak, weak, too weak!
Therefore, he has absolutely no desire to fight ninjas.
"You are not allowed to unleash your Reiatsu to overwhelm the opponent. This battle with him is to hone your combat skills, understand?"
Li Yue naturally understood Sasuke's current view of ninjas, but the fight still had to be fought.
"Hmph, even without using Reiatsu to intimidate him, he still wouldn't be a match for me!"
Sasuke with such confidence.
Looking at Sasuke couldn't help but clench his fist and glance at Li Yue beside him.
Has he always been like this?
Was I really that arrogant when I was a kid? Wouldn't I have gotten beaten to death for doing that?
Li Yue nodded in response to the question from the Sasuke.
"You should know better than anyone else that although the situations are different, they are essentially the same."
Well, it seems I was indeed too arrogant when I was young. Although we're from different worlds, guys named Sasuke were all arrogant and deserved a beating when they were teenagers.
"In that case, I'll have a proper fight with him."
Sasuke decided to give Sasuke a good lesson.
"Hmph, I'll show you why ninjas are so weak!"
Faced with Sasuke's indifference, Sasuke naturally had to act arrogantly again, and then...
How could that be?
Half an hour later, Sasuke squatted on the ground, looking at the incredibly calm Sasuke in front of him, completely dumbfounded.
"Why would you...?"
With the expansion of Reiatsu forbidden, and the use of Reiatsu to oppress people prohibited, Sasuke used the power of the Bleach he possessed to fight against the opposing Sasuke, but the result of the battle was that he lost.
He knew his opponent was from the Uchiha clan, so he unleashed his Zanpakuto and fought with the Three Tomoe sword. However, his opponent also had the Three Tomoe and was able to fight him without even looking at him. Furthermore, in terms of combat experience, he was completely inferior to his opponent. Despite having extensive combat experience in Soul Society, against Bleach, and Arrancar, it was all for naught. His opponent's combat experience far surpassed that of young Sasuke.
In a fit of anger, Sasuke activated his Bankai and summoned Susanoo. However, Sasuke and also activated Susanoo. Both of them were purple Susanoo, leaving Sasuke completely dumbfounded.
After a Susanoo, Sasuke ultimately lost.
This loss left him extremely dissatisfied.
"Alright, from now on, all you need to do is keep fighting him to improve your combat experience. Right now, you're not only weak, but your combat experience is also very poor!"
Li Yue didn't give him time to lose his temper and directly issued the order.
"If you want to kill Itachi."
"Hmph! I will!"
When it came to killing Itachi, Sasuke's expression immediately turned serious, and he then turned his gaze to Sasuke.
Following Li Yue's orders, young Sasuke began training with Sasuke in combat. Sasuke was frustrated; he wanted to protect Naruto, but young Sasuke wouldn't give him a chance to leave. Even when Sasuke Chakra was completely drained, he continued to fight him in swordsmanship.
And so, a few days later, the Otsutsuki fisherman finally appeared in the skies above Konoha.
The moment the fisherman appeared above Konoha, Li Yue sensed him, because a Reiatsu suddenly appeared, a Reiatsu stronger than that of the entire Leaf Village.
The souls of the Otsutsuki clan are different from other souls. Although they do not cultivate the power of their souls, their souls are not as fragile as those of other people. Their souls can parasitize other people, or even animals. Otsutsuki clan parasitic mechanism is called a wedge.
They are like computer files; when they are killed, they forcibly compress all their related programs and files and then store them in someone else's body. Over time, they slowly Shikai decompress until they completely take over the other person's body, thus achieving resurrection through possession.
At this point, although they would be relatively weaker without their original bodies, they had indeed been resurrected. This is the resurrection mechanism of the Otsutsuki clan.
In order to achieve this resurrection mechanism, the Otsutsuki clan naturally needs a decent soul strength. Therefore, the souls of the Otsutsuki clan are stronger than those of others. For example, in the Underworld, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and Aizen could even fight for a period of time. Even when facing Bleach who specialize in souls, they still have a certain ability to resist.
However, for the Sage of Six Paths, a top-tier Bleach like Aizen was still far too difficult to deal with.
Now, Otsutsuki Urashiki appeared above Konoha. His soul, which was far more powerful than that of an ordinary person, became a beacon, informing Li Yue of his arrival.
So, Li Yue brought both Sasuke. and Sasuke to him.
In the original storyline, Sasuke, Boruto, Naruto, and Jiraiya were the four of them facing Otsutsuki Urashiki. But this time, only the three of them are facing Otsutsuki Urashiki, the fisherman.
"What an unlucky thing to see. I just arrived and there are familiar faces. You lowly creatures are really disgusting."
Urashiki, a member of the Otsutsuki clan, looked at Sasuke with disgust. As Otsutsuki, he was a nobleman of the interstellar era who traveled through space. However, he was forced by the natives of Earth to travel through time to ambush them when they were young. This made him feel very ashamed. But after traveling through time, the natives actually followed him!
"You, go and kill him!"
Li Yue listened to the fisherman's arrogant words but did not make a move. Instead, she pointed at the fisherman and spoke to Sasuke beside her.
"Hmph! I can do it without you telling me!"
How dare he call him an inferior being?! What kind of trash is this, with such a foul mouth! I'll chop you to pieces!
With Sasuke ascended directly into the sky, landing high above the ground. Spirit Path Creation beneath his feet, and he stood directly opposite the fisherman.
"Um?"
Urashiki looked at Sasuke, who was standing on the same plane as him, with some surprise. After glancing at Sasuke, he frowned and asked.
Who are you?
He couldn't sense Chakra from the person opposite him, which meant that the other person was not a ninja, nor a member of the Otsutsuki system. People who followed the Otsutsuki system all used Chakra. So far, everyone he had met on this planet had Chakra, but the boy in front of him didn't have a single drop of Chakra!
He can Air Walk without Chakra, that's not right!
As Otsutsuki, Urashiki may be arrogant, but he is not brainless. He can still see that something is wrong with the naked eye.
When Urashiki asked him a question, Sasuke a cold and arrogant reply.
"Who am I? I'm the one who killed you!"
He then immediately released his Zanpakuto, Three Tomoe Sharingan appeared at the hilt of the Tsuba.
"Hmm? So you're one of the inferior beings too."
He had seen Sasuke's Sharingan during their previous Sasuke, so he understood what the Three Tomoe Sharingan represented: the eyes of Otsutsuki descendant with extremely thin bloodlines. Although he didn't know why this Otsutsuki descendant didn't have Chakra, having such eyes meant he was definitely Otsutsuki descendant. However, the location of the eye was a bit strange; it wasn't inside the eye socket, but on the Tsuba. What was going on?
Although he was puzzled, the fisherman breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the other party was just a descendant of the Otsutsuki, and even began to look down on Sasuke.
Sasuke snorted and immediately Flash Step to appear in front of Urashiki. He swung his sword down at Urashiki, who was caught off guard by Sasuke's speed and had to use his fishing rod to block the attack.
The result of the attempt to defend was that it resulted in blocking nothing.
"Um?"
Urashiki was somewhat surprised, but then his right hand was severed, and the fishing rod in his hand fell to the ground along with his arm.
"This is!"
The young Sasuke vanished from his spot and reappeared behind Urashiki.
"What's going on!?"
Urashiki covered his wound with his left hand and roared Wrath.
What did you do?
"What did I do? I just swung my knife in front of you."
Sasuke, who was watching from below, was also shocked. He was very nervous when he saw Sasuke take off, but after Sasuke took off, he found that Urashiki on the other side was talking to thin air.
Illusion!
As a member of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke immediately understood what was going on. The problem was, genjutsu shouldn't have worked on Urashiki, otherwise he, as Sharingan user, would have already hung Urashiki up and whipped him.
"Is this also the power of Bleach?"
Having fought with Sasuke., Sasuke realized that the power Sasuke. used was not the power of a ninja, but the power of Bleach).
But this power is too outrageous. When I fought Sasuke before, I wasn't controlled by his genjutsu.
"He naturally cannot control the Otsutsuki, but I can."
Li Yue had her hands behind her back.
"From the moment that fisherman appeared, he was already under my control. From the very beginning, he had no chance of winning!"
As soon as Li Yue and the other two arrived, he immediately activated his Dream Power, and Otsutsuki Urashiki was completely bewildered by the illusion created by the Dream Power.
"Alright, Sasuke, give him the final blow."
With Li Yue's command, Otsutsuki Urashiki's head flew into the sky, completely unaware of what was happening Otsutsuki Urashiki, who came from the future and caused Naruto and Sasuke so much trouble, died just like that.
495. Major Events in the One Piece World
[I Am The Queen: Tsk, these rebels are a real nuisance. They actually escaped across the border and ran off to the territory of the southern barbarians!]
[Meme Lord: So you went to give chase?]
[I Am The Queen: No, I've cleared out the southern regions within the Empire's territory and am now heading towards the Imperial Capital. Those madmen from Annihilation That Brings Peace are leading a million-strong army to the Imperial Capital. Nadjeshda has requested my assistance, and I must return.]
[Perverted Scum Man: A million-strong army? So many people!? Are they really that powerful?]
[I Am The Queen: Impressive? Impressive my ass! They just have a lot of people, a bunch of lunatics. Their fighting ability is practically nonexistent. They're nothing but numbers, they don't even have logistics. To me, they're just a million pigs. But to the Imperial Capital, so many people, even if you pile them up with corpses, could build a wall. So I have no choice but to go back.]
Annihilation That Brings Peace, an evil cult in the world of Akame ga Kill!
Originally an ordinary sect whose main doctrine was to appease the world, it began to turn into a cult that amassed wealth due to the corruption of its upper echelons. Moreover, because of the nobles' rampant exploitation of the lower classes, the lower classes became increasingly dependent on the spiritual comfort of the Annihilation That Brings Peace. As a result, many poor people joined the Annihilation That Brings Peace, regarding Annihilation That Brings Peace as their spiritual home. The more they struggled to survive, the more they relied on the Annihilation That Brings Peace, eventually becoming completely brainwashed fanatics.
But as Esdeath said, although Annihilation That Brings Peace has a large population, it has virtually no combat power. They don't have enough weapons. Let alone in ancient times, even in modern times, if you want a million people to have weapons and equipment, how huge would the subsequent material preparation be? This is no longer a question of money, but a question of whether there are enough minerals to make the equipment.
Therefore, although Annihilation That Brings Peace has a million-strong army, very few of them are actually elite troops with combat capabilities. Moreover, logistics are also a problem for this million-strong army; feeding and watering these million people is a huge issue.
Therefore, the leaders of Annihilation That Brings Peace, while these million believers were still able to move and had not yet starved to death, made them push forward frantically. Their goal was to make them as useful as possible while they still had the strength to move. Once they ran out of food and could no longer walk, they would be completely useless.
Therefore, the current situation is both fortunate and unfortunate for the Imperial Capital, because at least not all of this million-strong army are combat-ready. However, it is also unfortunate because this million-strong army is now beginning to starve. The combat power of a million-strong army in a state of hunger is terrifying, especially since these hungry guys are all brainwashed lunatics. They will launch a crazy attack on the Imperial Capital because of a single sentence from the higher-ups of Annihilation That Brings Peace. At that time, they will be able to build a road with corpses.
[I Am The Queen: So now I have to go back. There are only 50,000 people left to guard the Imperial Capital. Those 50,000 facing a million people are bound to cause trouble, especially since Nadjeshda is a rather soft-hearted person.]
[So Arrogant! Let me ask you this: what are your plans to do with those million people?]
[I Am The Queen: Kill!]
[Give Me Some Face: Hey, seriously?!]
Shanks, who rarely speaks, suddenly jumped out. He didn't expect Esdeath to be so violent. That's a million people, not a few hundred, but a million!
[Give Me Some Face: Are you crazy? That's a million people!]
[I Am The Queen: So what if there are a million people? These million people have already gone mad. I will not show them any mercy just because they have gone mad. They dare to raise their blades against me, but they dare not raise their blades against the cult leader who commands them. This means their deaths are inevitable!]
Esdeath is not an easy person to talk to. The millions of fanatical followers of the Annihilation That Brings Peace would obey the leader's orders even if it meant death. No matter what, they are a threat to the safety of the entire country. Although Esdeath says she doesn't care about the country's situation, she doesn't like enemies who have no ability but only numbers. Even if she wins, it doesn't feel real.
[I Am The Queen: I will grant them all an equal death!]
[Give Me Some Face: You butcher!]
[Meme Lord: Shanks, you're a bit grumpy today, what happened?]
Li Yue had been secretly observing the Chat Group. After the Otsutsuki fisherman died, Sasuke and Boruto left this point in time and returned to their own World Line, so Li Yue had some free time. However, what he didn't expect was that Shanks, who rarely appeared in the Chat Group, showed up today and even got into an argument with Esdeath.
This guy shouldn't be the type to meddle in other people's business, right? Or rather, he's not the type to interfere in other people's affairs.
[Give Me Some Face: Sorry, I've been having some troubles lately.]
[Meme Lord: Could it be Ace?]
[Give Me Some Face: How did you even know that?]
Shanks was shocked. He knew that Li Yue had some knowledge of his world, but the fact that Li Yue even knew about Ace was a bit outrageous.
[Meme Lord: Looks like Ace's been captured by the Navy, are they going to publicly execute him?]
[Give Me Some Face: You don't even know the date of your execution, do you?]
That's not quite it, but there aren't many things that can give Shanks a real headache, especially at this point in time. The only one who can give you a headache is Ace, since Luffy won't set sail again for the New World for another two years.
