Shinobi World! Shinobi World! Shinobi World!
Imu could hardly believe what he was seeing.
Honestly.
Since transmigrating, he has rarely been so vigilant in managing his facial expressions.
Imu's face was no longer indifferent or calm; his eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, and his surprise was undisguised.
What shocked him so much was not the written content of the report, but the colorful painting drawn by Kagaya Ubuyashiki himself.
The scene depicts a snowy night scene, where Iguro Obanai Muichiro Tokito, and a dozen or so men and women dressed in matching white are sitting around a burning campfire, chatting and laughing. They seem to be getting along very well.
The key point is that all the men and women wore black Forehead Protector with a diamond-shaped pattern on Forehead Protector!
"A ninja?!"
Imu composed himself, his gaze fixed intently on the white-clad men and women in the painting. There was no doubt about it; their muscular physiques and eyes revealed that they were seasoned warriors.
"Could this 'Star Gate' be located in the Land of Snow in the Shinobi World?"
"But why do I remember the symbol of the Land of Snow not being a diamond shape?"
Imu delved into the depths of his mind, quickly flipping through his memories from Echizen. Before long, he found images of the Land of Snow in his extremely distant memories.
"It really wasn't."
Even so, he didn't find it strange at all. After all, anime is anime, and reality is reality; there are bound to be some discrepancies between the two.
Perhaps the real Shinobi World contains some unknown Ninja Village that haven't appeared in the anime, which is quite normal, isn't it?
"I never expected it to be the Shinobi World."
Imu felt somewhat heavy-hearted. It wasn't that he was afraid of the ninjas, but rather he was afraid of the Otsutsuki Clan.
This is an interstellar race whose ordinary members are capable of traversing the universe with their physical bodies and frequently traveling between galaxies. Not only are their individual combat strengths strong, but they can also mass-produce the Ten-Tails, terrifying monsters that can disrupt the global climate and destroy all life on the planet.
He remembered that there were quite a few Otsutsuki Clan in the Shinobi World.
Kaguya Otsutsuki, sealed inside the moon; Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, existing as a spirit in the Pure Land of the Underworld; and the descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki, responsible for guarding the moon.
According to Kaguya Otsutsuki, the other side will send Ōtsutsuki members sooner or later.
That is, the 'Guardian' Momoshiki Otsutsuki and the 'Guardian' Kinshiki Otsutsuki, he watched this 'theatrical film' back then.
But what's most nerve-wracking is their home Otsutsuki Homeworld.
Therefore, the Shinobi World is quite a troublesome place for the current World Government. Once it is conquered, it will definitely have to confront the Otsutsuki Clan.
If it were an ordinary Otsutsuki Clan, even in their transformed form after consuming the 'Guardian', with my current strength, I think there wouldn't be any problems.
However, if it were someone like Kaguya Otsutsuki who had eaten an entire 'God Tree Fruit', there really wouldn't be much of a chance of her winning.
Thinking about all this, Imu sighed inwardly.
' Ymir was absolutely right, we've really run into a tough nut to crack.'
"However, let's write down the general information and precautions about the Shinobi World first, so that our subordinates can be prepared. But as for the specifics of how to proceed, we'll have to wait and see what time the other world is in."
To be honest, if we don't consider the 'Ōtsutsuki' factor, the Shinobi World isn't actually that difficult for the World Government.
Pity.
Without the Otsutsuki Clan, there would be no such thing as ninjas or Ninjutsu.
The next day.
September 5th, 1500 (Haiyuan Calendar), 7:32 PM.
Although the Starry Sky was filled with stars, the entire Elbaf Kingdom was brightly lit. The seemingly bare stone hills and rocks shimmered, and even the towering Adam Tree was adorned with colorful light bulbs.
Because at 8 o'clock sharp, the award ceremony for the top 100 of the 'First Myriad Worlds Battle Power Tournament' will be held here, and the results will be broadcast to all viewers in the four worlds via Visual Den Den Mushi.
At this moment, on this open space that was usually used for duels between Giants warriors, a magnificent award platform had been built by the construction team from the Construction Division Department in cooperation with the local Giants. It looked as if it had been carved from a single huge stone, exuding the rugged style of Elbaf.
However, the organizer of this competition is, after all, the World Government.
Therefore, above the stone platform stands a stone wall engraved with a 'Five-Circle Cross', and the contestants will walk in front of it one by one to receive their prize money and rewards.
The audience below the stage is now filled with all sorts of people.
The largest Giants, led by King Harald.
However, compared to them...
Even more eye-catching were the group of men and women dressed in luxurious attire, adorned with gold and silver, and exuding an air of wealth, not far away.
They were the kings and nobles from various countries who had come specifically to attend this ceremony; their kingdoms were mostly located at the two ends of the Grand Line.
As for the purpose of coming here, it was certainly not just to chase after celebrities, but rather to make friends with those 'top 100 masters'.
Because they knew that most of these people would not join the World Government, and given their strength, potential, and the upcoming 'Star Gate Pass', they were clearly very worthwhile investments and to win over.
Putting everything else aside, if you could hire a top 100 expert as your bodyguard, wouldn't that be both prestigious and prestigious?
As for the 'Star Gate Pass,' that thing only allows the holder to enter and exit; Beli does it have to do with them?
These people simply don't have that kind of value in mind.
"Distinguished leaders, kings, and audience members from different worlds, good evening!"
"I am Stella, the host of this Top 100 Awards Ceremony!"
At exactly eight o'clock, Stella, dressed in a golden gown and looking radiant, stood on the stage with a microphone in hand. She delivered her opening remarks in a spirited and melodious voice, drawing all eyes to herself.
It must be said, she is indeed breathtakingly beautiful.
I heard that two months ago, Queen, who was already a biochemical researcher, actually went to the World Government headquarters building with a large bouquet of flowers in front of all the officials of the Publicity Department.
First, he performed a carefully prepared rap and dance for Stella, then he knelt down and proposed to Stella.
Needless to say, the final result was a cruel rejection.
But Queen believed that Stella's rejection of him was entirely due to her fear of Tesoro, so he publicly announced that he would have a one-on-one battle with Tesoro once he returned from the Demon Slayer World.
The contest consisted of two parts: a song and dance performance and a fighting ability. He believed that if he could defeat Tesoro in both, he would surely make Stella fall in love with his outstanding self!
"I now declare the First Myriad Worlds Battle Power Tournament Top 100 Award Ceremony officially open!" Stella, however, had long since forgotten about Queen.
"Next, please welcome Chairman Fernandez of the Otherworld Strategy Committee to the stage to deliver a speech!"
The next moment.
Thunderous applause erupted from below the stage. Biba Amatori, Sanemi Shinazugawa, Levi Ackerman —all from Otherworld who had successfully made it into the Top 10 —stared intently at the stage.
