Shinobi World, Loulan.
A magnificent city filled with towering spires.
What had once been an endless sea of yellow sand was now a vast expanse of forests and fertile soil.
On top of that, the World Government had made it the political center governing the Shinobi World, causing the place to grow ever more prosperous.
The facts proved that although Queen Sara was young, she managed things quite well.
About five kilometers outside Roran City.
A majestic square gate, three hundred meters tall and two hundred meters wide, stood in the middle of a camp formed by clusters of large and small buildings. Starlight intertwined along its edges.
This was the Star Gate connecting to the Shinobi World.
And it was a Star Gate that Imu had upgraded to "medium" size!
Ninjas wearing black vests could be seen everywhere within the camp.
This Star Gate Camp was under the jurisdiction of Sea Ninja Village, rather than the Konoha Ninjutsu Sect of the Shinobi World.
Yet none of the Sea Ninja ninjas in the camp noticed that a black-and-white "ghost" was silently hiding underground beneath their feet.
"Still haven't made up your mind?"
"No."
"But we've already been here for two days and two nights. It's so boring."
"You can never be too cautious when infiltrating another world."
"And I'm worried that the moment we touch this Star Gate, whoever controls it will notice us."
The white and black halves of a single body were actually conversing with each other as though they were two people.
"No way. Quite a few people have gone in and out these past few days. They can't possibly be watching it every second, can they?"
"Mm."
Black Zetsu fell into thought at White Zetsu's words.
The World Government's sudden emergence had dealt a devastating blow
