Thinking It Over

So, after much deliberation, Doflamingo felt that only Kuma had a slight chance of joining forces with him. He turned his head slightly to look at Kuma, a smile appearing on his lips, and was about to say, "Kuma, if we join forces..." But before he could finish his sentence, a sudden change occurred.

Moke wasn't one to just take a beating without fighting back. His eyes gleamed with unwavering determination and sharpness, like a beast poised to pounce. He slightly bent his knees, the muscles in his knees instantly taut, like a drawn bow. Then, a powerful force erupted from beneath his feet, cracking the ground beneath the impact. He shot forward like a cannonball, unleashing unparalleled momentum. The air whistled past him, forming invisible vortexes. In the blink of an eye, he was before Doflamingo.

Doflamingo's eyes widened in astonishment. He never expected Moke's speed to be so fast, so fast that he had no time to react. Moke gripped Shusui tightly, the famous Meito gleaming coldly in the sunlight. With a flick of his wrist, Shusui flashed through the air in a beautiful yet deadly arc, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, carrying an invincible momentum, heading straight for Doflamingo's neck. Doflamingo could even feel the chilling blade energy approaching his skin, sending a shiver down his spine.

"Spider Web Wall!" Doflamingo reacted with Inazuma speed. With a sudden swing of his arm, Hundred Plans, even thousands, of transparent threads shot out to the side like a Zhou Yu. These threads intertwined and tangled in the air, instantly forming an extremely dense spiderweb, like an indestructible wall blocking his way.

Upon seeing this, Moke's pupils contracted slightly. He was familiar with Doflamingo's move; Doflamingo had used a similar technique in the original work. However, the spider silk of that time was relatively sparse, barely serving as a large shield to defend against attacks. Moreover, this spider web only offered some protection against massive physical attacks; it became less effective against smaller opponents or those with weaker attacks.

However, the move Doflamingo was using was completely different from the one in the original story. The density of the Spider Web Wall was beyond imagination, leaving almost no gaps or flaws. Moke stared at the Spider Web Wall, secretly marveling at how Doflamingo's strength had increased to such a terrifying level.

Faced with such a tight defense, Moke showed no sign of backing down. He narrowed his eyes, and his demonic Ghost Aura and Armament Haki surged forth like a volcanic eruption, continuously wrapping around the Shusui in his hand. In an instant, the Shusui was enveloped in a dense layer of black Haki, emitting a chilling light that made one's heart tremble.

Moke took a deep breath, then swung his Shusui with unparalleled force, slashing fiercely at the Spider Web Wall. With a crisp "crack," the Spider Web Wall was easily sliced in two like paper. However, this was not the end. Moke's attack continued unabated, advancing forward as if to kill Doflamingo as well.

Kizaru's fighting strength remains shrouded in mystery. However, by carefully analyzing the details in the manga and the information provided by the official sources, we can make some inferences about Kizaru power. First, as Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Kizaru possesses an extremely powerful beam attack. This ability can easily defeat most enemies, so when Kizaru fought Luffy, he was able to defeat Gear Fourth Luffy instantly, forcing Luffy to activate Gear Fifth. So the question is, is Kizaru stronger than Kaido? Let's analyze it together.

Doflamingo's eyes widened like saucers as he stared intently at his own body, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before him. His body was being gradually eroded by a strange power, a power like a raging fire, causing him unprecedented pain.

Jinbe's face turned extremely pale. He had already felt hot all over, but now the feeling intensified, as if he were about to be engulfed by the flames. He suddenly remembered that the captain had warned him that this enemy was a master of developing biological weapons, and that he had to be extremely careful when fighting him. However, despite his precautions, he still unfortunately fell victim to the attack.

"I was careless!" Jinbe Dark-Dark Fruit inwardly. Just then, Shiryu approached and asked with concern, "Jinbe, what's wrong?"

Jinbe quickly waved to Shiryu, signaling Shiryu closer, and anxiously shouted, "Don't come any closer! I think I've been infected by his biological weapon. The captain said that the biological weapons this guy develops are usually incredibly contagious. You absolutely mustn't get infected by me!"

Upon hearing Jinbe's words, Shiryu immediately stopped in his tracks. His gaze fell upon Jinbe body was trembling slightly, and whose forehead was covered in cold sweat, clearly enduring immense pain. Shiryu's heart tightened; he realized the situation might be more serious than he had imagined.

When Shiryu turned his gaze to Queen again, a subtle change occurred in his eyes. He hadn't paid much attention to Queen initially, but now he suddenly realized that this seemingly insignificant opponent actually posed a significant threat.

Queen's methods were so insidious and ruthless that they rivaled Magellan's, which made Shiryu somewhat wary of him. He couldn't help but recall his previous encounter with Magellan, whose poison techniques were unpredictable and difficult to guard against. Queen, it seemed, possessed the same cunning and cruelty.

Just as Shiryu was pondering how to deal with Queen's lips curled into a smug smile. His gaze, sharp as a hawk's, swept over Weevil and Shiryu, as if they were nothing more than ants he could manipulate at will.

"If you don't want Jinbe to die, you'd better stop now." Queen's voice was cold and carried a clear threat. "Otherwise, if I die, he'll die too."

Faced with Queen's threat, Shiryu's lips curled into a disdainful smile. He secretly rejoiced that Katrin Demi had acquired the Repel-Repel Ability, which gave them a better chance of winning this confrontation. Otherwise, given Queen's cunning, the situation would likely have become extremely difficult.

Shiryu to look at Katrin Demi, who had arrived, his smile widening. "This one's in your hands." His voice was calm and confident, as if he had complete control over Katrin Demi.

Katrin Demey nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Queen, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Just as Queen was still in shock at Shiryu's actions, Shiryu suddenly pulled out the Raiu from his hand. In that instant, an expression of disbelief appeared on Queen's face.

"Hey... what are you doing? Don't you guys care about Jinbe's life?" Queen's voice trembled slightly; he hadn't expected Shiryu to be so resolute.

"You know, this is Mummy he developed. This artificial virus causes people infected with it to feel feverish all over." Queen spoke rapidly, seemingly wanting Shiryu to understand the seriousness of the situation as quickly as possible. "The high temperature will gradually spread from the point of impact throughout the body, causing a burning pain, followed by a gushing out of blood." After death, the body will become as dry as Mummy. Do you really want Jinbe to die such a painful death? And then become Mummy after death?"

With a casual wave of her hand, Katrin Demi's virus, which had been attached to Jinbe, was ejected from his body with lightning speed, as if driven by a powerful force. It all happened so fast that Jinbe didn't even have time to react before he watched helplessly as the virus was easily expelled from his body like insignificant specks of dust.

Jinbe's eyes widened like saucers, his face filled with disbelief, as if he were witnessing not just a simple case of a virus being ejected from a body, but the most incredible spectacle in the world. His jaw nearly dropped to the ground, his mouth gaped open, yet he couldn't utter a sound.

What kind of ability is this? Jinbe's mind went blank. He couldn't understand how Katrin Demi could so easily dispel his deadly viruses. It was as if she was the perfect counter to his viruses! Jinbe inwardly cursed, realizing he might be in deep trouble.

At this moment, Jinbe, who had recovered, charged at Katrin Dermei once again like an enraged beast. He was incredibly fast, creating a Gale, making everyone hold their breath for Katrin Dermei.

Jinbe was suddenly startled, and a fine layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. His gaze involuntarily turned to Katrin Demi again, where she stood not far away, a faint smile on her lips, seemingly confident of the situation before her.

Jinbe felt as if he were overwhelmed by despair. He suddenly had a strong premonition that he was doomed today. This feeling made his body tremble involuntarily, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield, a fierce battle was raging between Kaido and Moke. Like two enraged lions, they were engaging in a breathtaking life-or-death duel with no reservations.

When Kushina was due to give birth, the Third Naruto knew that the Jinchūriki would weaken during pregnancy, so to prevent any accidents, he decided to set up the delivery room outside the village. This delivery room was surrounded by a tight barrier, and many ANBU were constantly guarding it.

As Kushina's husband, Minato naturally stayed by her side. He watched Kushina intently, hoping everything would go smoothly. Finally, Kushina gave birth to their child safely, a healthy boy. Minato was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He held Naruto tightly, feeling the joy brought by this new life.

However, at that moment, a mysterious Masked Man claiming to be "Madara Uchiha" suddenly appeared. He threatened Minato with despicable means, forcing him to take the newborn Naruto away from Kushina using the Flying Thunder God. Minato had no choice but to comply.

At this critical moment, Madara seized the opportunity. His Sharingan activated instantly, and powerful ocular energy swept in like a surging wave, firmly controlling the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails, as if manipulated by an invisible force, let out a roar, and its chakra erupted like a volcanic eruption, forcefully breaking through the seal.

With the seal broken, the Nine-Tails' power erupted completely. Its body became enormous and ferocious, and the flames it spewed from its mouth burned everything around it to ashes. Kushina, under the impact of this powerful force, trembled violently, and her face instantly turned ashen, as if her life force had been drained away in an instant.

Madara continued to manipulate the Nine-Tails without mercy, its sharp claws flashing like Inazuma as it lunged at Kushina. Kushina had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the fatal blow came toward her.

However, at this critical moment of life and death, a golden light streaked towards them like a shooting star. Within the light, Minato's figure descended like a god of war. His speed was as fast as Inazuma, and he instantly arrived beside Kushina, pulling her tightly into his arms.

Minato was somewhat surprised by Minato's appearance, but he did not stop his attack. The Nine-Tails' claws, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, slammed straight towards Minato and Kushina.

Minato's eyes narrowed, and he quickly formed hand seals, a blue light blooming in his hand. This was his signature ninjutsu— the Rasengan! Without hesitation, Minato threw the Rasengan towards the Nine-Tails' claws. With a loud "bang," the Rasengan collided with the Nine-Tails' claws in mid-air, creating a deafening explosion.

The Shockwave from the explosion sent everything flying, Minato seized the opportunity to grab Kushina and Naruto and run home as fast as he could.

Back home, Minato placed Kushina on the bed, giving her temporary safety. But Minato was far from relaxed; he knew that Madara would not let the matter rest so easily and would definitely come looking for him again.

Minato took a deep breath, turned to face Madara again, a resolute glint in his eyes. He couldn't let Madara harm his family, even if it cost him his life.

Minato rapidly formed hand seals, and a powerful surge of chakra erupted from his body. He unleashed his ninjutsu, engaging in a breathtaking battle with Madara.

The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch, and for a moment, the entire space was torn apart by their battle. Every move and stance of Minato contained boundless power and skill, while Madara's strength was equally unfathomable.

After a fierce battle, Minato finally found Madara's weakness. Taking advantage of Madara's unpreparedness, he launched a sudden attack, and a huge Shockwave crashed towards Madara like a thunderbolt.

"Ban" was unable to dodge in time and was hit hard by the Shockwave. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily into the distant mountain wall.

Minato breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing Madara repelled. However, he knew that Madara was not fatally injured, and he had to take his family away immediately, as far as possible.

Minato turned back into the house, only to find Kushina barely managing to bind the Nine-Tails with chakra chains and creating a barrier to trap it. However, due to her body reaching its limit, a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Kushina's mouth.

"Minato... I don't have much chakra left... I'll use this last bit of power... to Nine-Tails down with me..." Kushina's voice was weak but firm.

After much deliberation, Minato finally made up his mind: he would seal away the terrifying Nine-Tails fox at the cost of his own life. He knew what this decision meant, but he did not hesitate for a moment.

Minato sealed the Nine-Tails' Yang chakra, his own chakra, and Kushina's last chakra into Naruto. In this way, his and Kushina's souls could accompany Naruto as he grew within him. Furthermore, Minato set up a sealing program that would allow them to help Naruto during his two most crucial and critical moments.

However, when Kushina learned of Minato's plan, she firmly opposed it. She could not accept that Minato would so easily give up his life, and she was even less willing to let Naruto bear such a heavy burden from a young age. She believed that Minato should live on and personally raise and teach Naruto.

Faced with Kushina's strong opposition, Minato patiently explained his thoughts. He told Kushina that this was the only way to protect the village and Naruto. Although he also wanted to stay by Naruto's side, he couldn't let the Nine-Tails continue its rampage and bring disaster to more people.

With Minato's insistence, Kushina was finally persuaded. Although her heart was filled with pain and reluctance, she understood that Minato's decision stemmed from his love for the village and Naruto.

Just then, Nine-Tails realized Minato's intentions. Taking advantage of Kushina's weakened state, it suddenly launched an attack, intending to kill Naruto. Upon seeing this, Minato and Kushina rushed forward without hesitation, using their bodies to block Nine-Tails's fatal blow.

In the fierce battle, Minato and Kushina fought with all their might, engaging in a desperate struggle against the Nine-Tails. In the end, they successfully withstood the Nine-Tails' attack, but both of them were seriously injured in the process.

In her final moments, Kushina held Naruto tightly, tears blurring her vision. In a trembling voice, she spoke of her love to Naruto. This was the first time she had expressed such profound emotions to her child, and for them, as first-time parents, it was also the only time.

After a thrilling battle, the Nine-Tails was finally sealed away, but at the cost of Minato and Kushina's heroic sacrifice. Before her death, Kushina entrusted Naruto to the Third Naruto, hoping he would take good care of the child.

Although Minato and his wife left a will before their deaths, hoping that the villagers of Konoha would regard Naruto as a hero of the village, due to secrecy, Naruto's background was not revealed except to the Third Naruto and a few villagers who knew the inside story. Even Naruto himself knew nothing about his origins.

In this environment, most people in the village regarded Naruto as the incarnation of the Nine-Tails and treated him coldly. Naruto grew up in loneliness and longed for recognition and attention from others. So, he often played pranks in the village in an attempt to attract attention.

These pranks sometimes escalated to the point of graffitiing the Hokage Rock in Konoha. However, these actions did not earn him the recognition he desired; instead, they made him even more isolated.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were classmates at the Konoha Ninja Academy. During their third graduation exam, Naruto unfortunately failed. At that moment, the proctor, Mizuki, appeared and used Naruto as bait to trick Naruto into stealing a forbidden scroll.

However, the plot failed because Naruto's partner Iruka saw through Mizuki's plan. Iruka knew Naruto's loneliness and longing, and he couldn't bear to see Naruto being used, so he risked his life to rescue Naruto.

While learning forbidden techniques from a scroll, Naruto unexpectedly mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Using this powerful ninjutsu, he successfully defeated Mizuki, demonstrating astonishing strength.

Iruka- sensei was very pleased with Naruto's performance and acknowledged that he had passed the exam and officially graduated as a genin. Eight other students from the same graduating class also graduated with Naruto, and together they embarked on a new stage in their lives.

Subsequently, the nine genin were assigned to different teams, while Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were assigned to Team 7, led by Kakashi.

During the Bell Test, Kakashi gave them a challenge: to snatch the bell from him within a set time. However, Naruto and Sasuke acted independently, failing to grasp the importance of teamwork, and ultimately neither managed to snatch the bell, ending in defeat.

However, after their failure, Sasuke suddenly realized Kakashi's true intention—he wanted them to Whitebeard Pirates. So, Sasuke broke Kakashi's rule and fed the bell he had stolen to Naruto, demonstrating his emphasis on teamwork. Seeing this, Kakashi finally acknowledged their performance and announced that they had passed the survival test.

After becoming genin, Naruto and his teammates began accepting various missions. However, they initially received only D-rank missions, such as finding pets and cleaning rivers. These missions were rather boring and uninteresting for Naruto, who was eager to show off his strength.

However, Naruto was not discouraged by his previous setbacks. He maintained his passion for the ninja world and his dedication to completing the mission. Finally, through their tireless efforts, they received a C-rank mission—escorting an important figure.

The specific task was to ensure the safe return of bridge architect Dazuna to the Land of Waves. Under the guidance of Kakashi- sensei, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura accompanied Dazuna on this journey.

They proceeded cautiously, wary of any potential dangers. Unfortunately, they encountered enemies from Hidden Mist Village. Faced with these sudden foes, Naruto felt a surge of fear, as he had never had any real combat experience before.

In the midst of the tense standoff, the enemy suddenly launched an attack. Naruto was caught off guard and his hand was struck by the enemy's poison. The venom spread rapidly, causing him excruciating pain. At the same time, Sasuke and Sakura remained remarkably calm, reacting swiftly to counter the enemy's attack.

Seeing Sasuke and Sakura's calm demeanor, Naruto felt a surge of resentment. He gritted his teeth and decided to prove his resolve in an extreme way. Without hesitation, he cut the back of his hand, letting the venom flow out to alleviate the pain and demonstrate his courage.
