"The information obtained by Ninja World said that almost a thousand years ago, there was a researcher from the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Yes, this person was not dedicated to fighting, but was better at doing research. He raised a conjecture within the clan at that time.
The specifics of this conjecture are not yet clear, and it is also a secret among the Ōtsutsuki Clan. We only know that the Otsutsuki tribesman was conducting experiments on a living planet, accompanied by several Ōtsutsuki Clan combat forces.
The experiment on that planet should have failed after that. Not only was the planet destroyed, but the Otsutsuki clan members who were bodyguards all died. Only the Ōtsutsuki Clan researcher drove his own car and escaped from the planet after being seriously injured.
It's just that the Otsutsuki tribesman did not return to the tribe after that, but his whereabouts are unknown since then. According to the last signal sent from the car, it was roughly locked in one direction, which is the area around your planet.
And the Ōtsutsuki Clan researcher took away a specially cultivated God Tree sapling before escaping from the experimental planet.
Before talking about this God Tree sapling, let me first talk about God Tree. God Tree is a kind of tree that looks like a tree. It is essentially a physical creature between plants and animals. It can directly absorb all the vitality on the entire living planet, and then bear a fruit that contains a massive amount of power required by the Ōtsutsuki Clan. This is God Tree.
And that God Tree sapling has been transformed by the Ōtsutsuki Clan researcher. It is said to have more powerful abilities than ordinary God Tree, and this may be the way to deal with the Ōtsutsuki Clan in the future. It is a big help, so we are trying to find it. Even if it is not as magical as the legend says, even God Tree itself is worth studying." Nawaki Senju gave a general explanation of the information about God Tree seedlings.
"Thank you very much, Captain Senju, for clarifying my doubts. Then according to our agreement, I will go back to the headquarters first, and after formulating relevant matters with them, I will go to your outpost for a visit. I will leave first." Long felt that his mind was a little confused, and decided to go back to find the senior executives of the Revolutionary Army to study it carefully.
Basically, the entire conversation between Senju Hashirama and Long was broadcast live to Ninja World. During the entire conversation, Ninja World did not interfere. After all, they had given full power to Nawaki Senju.
Now Ninja World everyone is waiting for the next time, when Long leads some Revolutionary Army to the outpost for further contact. After all, they also know that this contact is actually very sudden, and they still have to give the other party some buffer time.

Sitting on the sheep's head at the bow of Going Merry, Luffy looked a little bored. "Nami'Grand Line' hasn't arrived yet?"
Putting down the navigation chart in his hand, Nami was also a little tired. "We just set off from Loguetown two days ago, and it will take several days to arrive. You can wait a few more days, ugh~"
"Hehe, okay." Luffy gave Nami a big smile.
"The weather was so good, that storm was like a dream." Sanji recalled the previous heavy rain on Loguetown, and felt like he was reborn.
"What is that?" Usopp discovered something unusual through his monocular telescope. "A large group of birds were found on the starboard side."
"A large flock of birds?" Luffy became interested as soon as he heard it.
"There is something big on the sea. I can't see clearly. What is it?" Due to the distance, Usopp was a little afraid to confirm, "Is it a big fish? Is it a small boat? Or does it look like a big fish."
Sanji walked next to Zoro and leaned on the railing. "I have often heard that seabirds will gather above big fish. Since there are fish, Luffy, you can go catch them for lunch."
"No, no, I saw that it was a little girl. She was lying alone in a small boat, and it seemed that she was not in a good condition." At this time, Hinata stood up.
Although Hinata's Byakugan can see detailed objects within one kilometer, and even ten kilometers away if you only look in a certain direction, this consumes chakra after all and cannot be turned on around the clock, so Hinata is often used once in a while, and will be turned off after making sure there are no obvious abnormalities in the surroundings.
Another is that they are traveling on the sea, and there is no obstruction in the field of vision. The human eye can see ships more than ten or twenty kilometers away. With the help of a telescope, it can be seen farther, so Hinata and Byakugan are not very useful during navigation.
"Okay, I'm on it!" Luffy first moved his right hand as far back as possible, and then used its elasticity to reach under the flock of birds in the distance. "Rubber, harpoon!"
"Caught it!" Luffy was very happy that he succeeded with one blow.
"Nice job, Luffy, wait, throw it over there!" Sanji was still watching the show one second, and the next second he found Luffy's arm flying towards his direction.
Subconsciously, Sanji jumped up, and then hit Zoro who was sunbathing on the deck. Zoro, who was taking a nap in the bright sunshine, woke up suddenly, but before he could make any move, he was directly knocked into the sea.
Luffy, who successfully fished the little girl out of the boat, made a pose. "I'm sorry, Zoro."
"You big idiot!"
"Sooner or later I will kill him"
After a commotion, everyone turned their attention to the little girl. Hinata stepped forward to conduct a simple inspection. "She didn't suffer any damage. She was just a little weak due to hunger and thirst. She can just rest for a while."
"Are you hungry? Leave it to me!" Upon hearing this, Sanji immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook, "By the way, Miss Hinata and Miss Nami, do you have anything you want to eat..."
Bang!
Stimulated by the smell of food, the little girl suddenly sat up from the bed and bumped into the nose of Usopp who was wiping his forehead with ice water.
"Are you awake? You are more energetic than you thought. Do you feel more pain somewhere? If so, be sure to tell me and Hinata will treat you." Nami was the first to notice the little girl's awakening.
Although Sanji didn't look back because he was cooking, he also heard Nami's words. "You must be hungry, I'm helping you make soup."
The little girl was busy with you for a while, and then after looking around for a week, she suddenly shouted, "Ah...! So lucky!"
"Are you in trouble? It's really a critical moment. What's your name?" Naruto Uzumaki also came over and asked.
The little girl frowned. "Before asking others, you should give your name first."
"Haha, really?" Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head, "I am Naruto Uzumaki, the one wearing Straw Hat over there is Luffy, the captain of this ship, the one sitting next to him is Nami, and the one opposite is Hinata, the one making soup over there is Sanji, the one lying on the ground next to you is Usopp, the one with green hair by the wall is Zoro, and the one on the deck outside who has not come in is Sasuke."
"Yes, I am Luffy, the captain of this pirate ship." Luffy grinned at the little girl with a big smile.
"Ah! Pirates?" The little girl who was still rejoicing that she survived the disaster suddenly changed her face. She obviously thought of some bad things.
"Yes, we are going to 'Grand Line'... What's wrong? She seems different?" Even Luffy felt a little lacking in confidence after seeing this little girl's reaction.
"What should we do with this little girl?" Zoro asked after stretching.
"Well, what should we do about this? Forget it and think about it tomorrow." Luffy just worried about it for a moment and then gave up, deciding to put the trouble aside for later.
'Why... why, why why! I fought my whole life to escape from the navy, but why was I rescued by a pirate ship? This is no joke!' The more the little girl thought about it, the more desperate she became. "Gululu" her stomach took the lead in protesting.
"Anyway, let's eat something first and then think of something else." The little girl quietly got up from the bed and walked around the kitchen in the dark.
Snap!
Suddenly, a loud noise rang in his ears. The little girl thought that they were going to kill him if they found out, so she squatted on the ground with her head in her arms.
"It's you again, Luffy. Please be a good boy, please." The light suddenly turned on, illuminating the entire kitchen.
Under a huge mousetrap in the kitchen, Luffy, who wanted to steal some food at night, was caught, and Sanji was standing in front of the Nezumi trap.
With a shake of his head, Sanji met the little girl's eyes. "What are you doing?"
"Ah, it's really good." Luffy ate the meat with big mouthfuls and couldn't care about anything else.
Sanji put his hands in his pockets and looked at Luffy helplessly, "Just tell me and I will cook it for you. Don't make random ideas about the ingredients."
"Who told me to be hungry?" Luffy didn't care.
"Gululu~" Seeing the Luffy in front of her enjoying her meal, the little girl's stomach rumbled unsatisfactoryly again.
"What? You don't want to eat?" Sanji looked at the little girl, "You didn't eat during the day, either. Why did you endure it? You didn't poison it."
But the little girl shook her head quickly.
"If you stay in a daze, he will eat up all your share." Sanji pointed at Luffy who was sitting opposite the little girl.
At this time, Luffy was also very cooperative. He had finished all the food in front of him, and he looked at the food on the little girl's plate with gleaming eyes. "Since you don't want to eat, give it to me."
"No!" When the little girl saw it, she immediately rushed forward and ate the food in front of her, "It's delicious!"
"Of course, Sanji is the chef I chose!" Luffy was very happy when others praised his crew, even more excited than when someone praised him directly.
"It's my first time to eat something so delicious." The little girl also showed a happy smile.
"I finally laughed." At this moment, everyone else on the boat also appeared outside the kitchen door, looking at the people inside.
"Luffy, you are eating again." Usopp said.
"Because I didn't eat anything during the day." Luffy said with a sullen face.
"You obviously ate both pots by yourself." Usopp continued.
Luffy scratched his head. "Really? But Hinata she ate three pots of it."
Hinata outside the door blushed and quietly said nothing.
Nami walked forward, leaned down and tried to communicate with the little girl from an equal perspective. "You heard that we were pirates, so you were scared, right?"
"That, that's because..." The little girl still wanted to make a few excuses.
"Well~ But in this era, of course you will have this reaction when you hear someone is a pirate." Nami directly helped Yuan Yuan over.
"You won't sell me..." the little girl's voice was a little low.
Wu Lu immediately retorted, "How is that possible!"
Zoro actually laughed, "Who told you all to look so scary?"
Usopp took a step forward and pinched Zoro's face. "How dare you say such a thing with your face."
"Huh? You bastard, what do you want to do!" Zoro immediately got into a fuss with Usopp.
"You two, stop making trouble." Seeing the two people fighting together, Nami they were speechless.
But Sanji has been paying attention to the little girl. "Would you like some more? Miss."
Nami also spoke at the right time, "At least this ship is not a pirate ship like you imagined, so please don't worry."
"One more plate!" The little girl happily raised the plate in her hand.
"Yes!" Sanji immediately took the plate.
"I want it too." Luffy immediately interrupted.
"I want to serve it myself!" Sanji kept his hands on his hands and ignored Luffy at all.
"It's too much..."
--
"Boom!"
There was a violent explosion, followed by a large amount of black smoke.
"What happened?" "What happened?"
Everyone was in a panic, not knowing what was going on. They followed the direction of the black smoke and found that it was coming from the kitchen.
When he saw it was the little girl he rescued yesterday, he said, "I'm preparing food. Everyone, it's time to start eating."
Everyone present had a premonition that something bad was going to happen just by seeing the black smoke. Only Luffy was still full of expectations and opened his mouth. "It's time to eat!"
Sure enough, everyone came to the blackened kitchen and saw what was called "food" placed on the plate.
"... Did you do this? It looks pretty good, so I'll start it!" Luffy looked at the dark stuff on the plate and was smoking, and said the above words.
The little girl nodded happily. "You not only saved me, but also gave me food to eat, so from today on, I will help you as much as possible."
A reluctant smile appeared on everyone's face, "That's great, thank you."
Zoro poked the "food" on the plate with a fork and asked from his soul, "Is this really edible?"
Nami, who was sitting next to Zoro, stepped on Zoro's toes under the table and stuffed the food on the plate into Zoro's mouth while he was opening his mouth. "Don't talk so much, hurry up and feed me!"
