In plain terms—they wanted to show off!
What was the point of having something to show off if you didn't show it off? It was like walking through the night in fine clothes!
After cultivating so painstakingly to become this powerful, wouldn't it all have been for nothing if they didn't make a name for themselves?
Thus, Liao Wu replanned his route and headed straight for the Ninja Sect—Konoha's location.
When the time came, he would wage an ultimate battle, unify the Ninja World, and command all armies under heaven.
The various factions, especially the Ninja Sect's Ninjas, were utterly terrified when they saw the Senju Great Buddha change direction and come ashore along the coast of the Land of Takigakure.
As time passed, the news that Liao Wu had returned to the Jianghu and defeated Kushina, the Ninja Sect's leader, shook the entire Ninja World.
Ninjas generally believed that in an era without Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, Liao Wu was the God of Ninja of this age.
His battle with the Ninja Sect would determine the future course of the Ninja World.
None of the various factions wanted to see Liao Wu dominate the Ninja World.
Therefore, they all watched his every move closely.
Enormous waves surged and churned the sea. Like Godzilla, the Senju Great Buddha rose from the ocean and steadily came ashore along the coast of the Land of Takigakure.
The moment the Senju Great Buddha landed, Ninja Cats leaped down from Hozuki Castle, turning into black shadows as they pursued the Scouts investigating Hozuki Castle.
The Ninja Sect's reconnaissance team was about to leave when a sharp-eyed Reconnaissance Ninja suddenly pointed at the Ninja Cats and cried in horror, "Look at the eyes of those Ninja Cats!"
Everyone turned to look, and instantly froze.
