"Can you cast a space spell immediately to send me back to the village?" In the thick fog outside Shikkotsu Forest, Tsunade suddenly turned around. His normally heroic face was filled with unconcealable solemnity and anxiety.
Ian raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was not even a trace of ripples on his handsome face. "What happened?"
"I don't know the specific situation, but the old man just sent an urgent emergency signal for help. Something big must have happened to Konoha!" Tsunade said through gritted teeth, clenching his fists.
"Forget it, anyway, our mission of investigating immortal arts here has been successfully completed." Ian shrugged indifferently, as calmly as a god inspecting the territory, "It's time for me to go back to my underground laboratory and continue sorting out the huge genetic data."
Before leaving, Ian turned around and expressed his gratitude to Katsuyu, who was responsible for the reception, and Slug Sage, who was dormant in the depths of the forest, in a gesture that was perfectly in line with the etiquette of a high-class civilized noble. He even left an unprecedented promise to the great immortal, saying that he would visit him again in the future to discuss the high-dimensional evolution of Natural Energy.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ian formed a seal with one hand. When he first came to this world, he had spread special kunai engraved with the spatial coordinates similar to "Flying Thunder God Technique" like a net in the hidden corners of Shinobi World's major territories to ensure that he could make ultra-long-distance jumps at any time regardless of physical distance.
"Buzz--!"
A violent ripple suddenly appeared in the space, and in the next second, Ian took Tsunade across thousands of mountains and rivers, and landed accurately within the range of Konohagakure.
The anxious Tsunade didn't even bother to say goodbye, and turned into a strong wind, rushing straight towards Hokage Office, who represented the highest power center in the village. However, when she pushed open the heavy wooden door, the sight in front of her made her slightly stunned.
"Jiraiya? You, an old pervert who has been wandering around all year round, why are you willing to come back?" Tsunade looked at the white-haired hero in surprise.
"It was the old man who called me back urgently with the highest level of encryption, saying that it was a matter of life and death for the entire Shinobi World." Jiraiya put away the cynical and obscene smile of the past, and looked extremely serious.
Tsunade felt an ominous premonition in her heart, and she immediately cast her sharp eyes on Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting behind the large desk, who seemed to have aged ten years overnight. "Old man, what happened that caused the sky to fall?"
Third Hokage took a deep breath of dry smoke, exhaled the thick smoke, and stared at Tsunade with his cloudy but still shining eyes. "It's about your 'new friend' who appeared out of thin air."
"You mean Ian?" Tsunade's pupils shrank suddenly.
Sandai did not speak, but silently pushed a scroll with a top secret wax seal in front of her. Tsunade grabbed the scroll and scanned the dense information on it. His face instantly turned as white as paper, and even his breathing stopped for half a beat.
"The bloody turmoil he caused in various Shinobi World during this period can be said to be insane! Especially when he unscrupulously attacked the nine Tailed Beasts and forcibly extracted their chakra His crazy behavior has completely aroused the most sensitive nerves of the other four major countries, causing all the shadows to fall into extreme panic and rage!" The voice of the third generation Hokage was trembling, revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Damn it! This bastard! I have clearly told him to be low-key and restrained!" Tsunade couldn't help but slapped the desk, causing the documents on it to scatter on the floor.
"Listening to your tone, you already know all about his terrifying details?" Hokage, the third generation, keenly caught the loophole in her words and asked sharply.
Tsunade bit his lower lip and fell into a deathly silence, not knowing how to explain the fear of the stars behind that man.
"When you said that he killed Danzo as quietly as he crushed an ant, and uprooted Root, I knew that he was definitely a dangerous person capable of destroying everything." Sandai closed his eyes in pain.
"What the fuck?! Danzo That old Yinbi is actually dead?!" Jiraiya on the side almost jumped up in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Tsunade completely ignored Jiraiya's shock. She took a step forward and stared at the third generation. "Old man, now that you have received this information, what are you going to do? Are you really stupid enough to respond to the so-called 'Five Kage Summit' summons?"
"That's right." The third generation Hokage replied decisively, with a trace of determination flashing in his eyes.
"Are you crazy?! You are kidding with the tens of thousands of lives in Konoha! You have no idea how arrogant and invincible he will be when facing you! I have already warned you, the power he possesses is simply not something our world can compete with! Your attempt to unite Tsunade's stupid move will only completely anger him, push Konoha towards the doomed Abyss, and let him directly raze this place to the ground!" Tsunade roared desperately, tears even overflowing from the corners of his eyes due to extreme fear.
"That's why I need to unite with the other four major ninja villages! An outsider like him, who has uncontrollable power that can destroy the world, but has no loyalty or respect for any country, must not be allowed to do whatever he wants in Shinobi World! He must be put in shackles!" the third generation Hokage retorted with righteousness.
"You will kill us all! Once he sends down divine punishment, everyone will fall!" Tsunade covered his face in pain.
"Tsunade, calm down, things may not have reached an irreversible point yet." Jiraiya quickly stepped forward to try to comfort this former companion.
At this tense moment, a faint sigh sounded in the office without warning.
This sigh was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting the depths of the souls of Jiraiya and the third generation Hokage! The movements and sounds of everyone in the room stopped suddenly, and they turned their heads in shock. Only then did they realize that in a blind corner of light and shadow that no one had noticed, a slender figure in a robe had appeared unexpectedly!
The hairs on Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi's bodies stood on end, and cold sweat instantly soaked their backs. As top ninjas who have struggled all their lives in this cruel world, they were Silencio so close to them. If this was a battlefield, they wouldn't even know how they died! This was a fatal mistake that could have killed them ten thousand times!
"Ian... Please, give me a little more time, I swear I can convince them to give up their resistance!" Tsunade looked at the man with an almost pleading look as if he had grasped the last straw.
"Do you think this is still meaningful?" Ian's mouth curled up with a sarcastic arc, his eyes as cold as ice, "You can't even convince your stubborn mentor, how do you expect to convince those high-ranking Raikage and Tsuchikage?"
"Even if there is only one ten thousandth chance, it is better than not trying at all!" Tsunade fought desperately.
"Put your heart back in your stomach, I didn't say I was going to go on a killing spree here." Ian said lightly, and then cast his extremely cold gaze on Jiraiya and the third generation Hokage, who were facing a powerful enemy and were secretly condensing chakra to prepare for a desperate fight.
Just a look!
There were no seals, no violent fluctuations of chakra! A high-dimensional Psychic Energy, as vast as an abyss and as substantial as substance, suddenly arrived! Jiraiya and the third generation Hokage felt as if the space around them had solidified into steel in an instant. The supreme pressure directly froze their souls, making it impossible for them to even lift a finger or even move their eyes!
"You... what are you planning to do?" Tsunade asked in a trembling voice as he watched the two people being suppressed instantly.
"Faced with this kind of trouble across the whole map, of course I choose to use the simplest, crudest, one-step method to solve the problem." Ian's cold voice revealed absolute dominance.
I saw him casually making a stroke in mid-air.
"Buzz--!"
Four portals emitting strong space distortion fluctuations suddenly tore Void apart! Then, several figures fell out of the portal in an extremely embarrassed manner, as if they were being thrown away garbage, and hit the floor of Hokage Office heavily!
Hidden Cloud Village's eight-tailed jinchuriki Killer B, the fourth generation Raikage Ai, Sand Village's fifth generation Kazekage Gaara and Chiyo, Hidden Stone Village's third-generation Tsuchikage Onoki, and Hidden Mist Village's fifth-generation Mizukage Mei Terumi!
"Damn! Where is this?!" Mei Terumi's beautiful face was filled with horror. One second she was reviewing documents in Mizukage's office, and the next second she was forcibly dragged here by a force majeure.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi? Hokage Office?! Is this all a conspiracy carefully planned by you Konoha?!" As soon as the hot-tempered Onoki landed on the ground and saw the surrounding furnishings clearly, he immediately roared in shock and anger.
However, Ian did not give these forcibly kidnapped Shinobi World giants any time to think about the situation. His eyes that ignored the common people once again swept across the audience.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was as if there was an invisible mountain falling from the sky! Onoki, Raikage and others who were shouting loudly a second ago were instantly pressed to the floor by the indescribable terrifying force, and their bones made a tooth-piercing friction sound. Like the third generation Hokage, they were completely deprived of control of their bodies and could not mobilize even a trace of chakra!
Until then, this group of arrogant shadow-level experts turned their stiff necks with great difficulty and cast their horrified eyes on the man standing in the shadows - wasn't this the terrifying wanted criminal they were preparing to convene Five Kage Summit to fight to the death?!
"I originally just wanted to do my arcane research quietly, and had no intention of causing trouble, because that would only waste my precious scientific research progress." Ian looked down at the so-called peak Shinobi World with cold eyes, and said in a condescending tone. "Unfortunately, I still underestimated the ability of you ninjas to collect intelligence like mice."
He scolded the clone in his heart for not acting carefully enough. It was that guy's negligence that led to today's farce.
"Since you are so determined to seek death, I have to personally take over this mess. Then, our teaching will now officially begin. The name of the first lesson is - 'Absolute Fear'!"
Ian made a crisp the Snap. A transparent arcane shield emitting a faint blue light expanded instantly, covering all the people in the office. The next second, the light burst out, and everyone disappeared from the place out of thin air!
When the bright light dissipated and Wuying, Tsunade and others opened their eyes in horror, their pupils instantly shrank to the size of needle tips and their breathing stagnated! They were actually suspended in the boundless vacuum of the universe! They were surrounded by deep darkness and cold starlight, but under the protection of this mysterious shield, they were able to breathe sufficient oxygen without any hindrance.
"Did you see the huge blue sphere in the distance? That's the home planet that you fight for day and night and are proud of: Shinobi World." Ian pointed at the blue planet in the distance, his tone was outrageously flat.
All the shadow-level experts were completely shocked by this grand and terrifying spectacle of the universe. Their world view suffered a devastating impact at this moment. Even if they could speak, they would never be able to utter even a single syllable at this moment.
"After admiring your home, now turn your attention to the desolate Death Star further away." Ian said, with a thought, he directly led this group of indigenous people across the distant interstellar distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and instantly teleported to the outer space of another huge planet.
"Open your eyes wider and see clearly."
Ian slowly raised his right hand. In his palm, a ball of horrifying destructive energy that appeared Chaos gray began to compress and gather sharply. Then, he didn't even make any forceful movements, but simply flicked the ball of energy towards the planet in front of him.
A faint light cut through the darkness of the universe.
"Boom--!!!"
Under the gaze of Wuying, who was on the verge of collapse and whose eyes were almost split open, the huge planet, which was no smaller than the Shinobi World parent star, suddenly erupted with unparalleled bright light deep in its core!
Immediately afterwards, the entire planet was completely destroyed and disintegrated in an instant! Billions of tons of hot magma, crustal fragments and cosmic dust turned into a grand cosmic fireworks, raging crazily in space!
Just one blow! A planet was wiped out like ashes!
"By the way, I'd like to remind you that this was a blow I casually delivered when I was fatally injured and my strength was greatly reduced." Ian took back his hand, turned his head, and looked at the group of Shinobi World who had been frightened out of their bodies. The leaders added, "If you don't believe your eyes, you can feel free to use any method you are familiar with to test whether what is happening in front of you is Genjutsu."
Sensing that the restraints on their bodies were slightly loosened, several shadows immediately began to form seals like crazy, frantically disrupting the chakra flow in their bodies, trying to unravel this "Genjutsu" that they considered extremely absurd.
However, the reality is cruel. No matter how they try, the destroyed star fragments in front of them are still floating in space, exuding an icy cold silence. This is not Genjutsu, this is a dimensionality reduction attack that exceeds the limits of their cognition!
"It's a waste of resources to destroy a planet in vain." Ian shook his head pretending to be regretful. Then, he casually touched Void, and a green magic circle exuding vitality suddenly appeared.
An even more chilling miracle happened!
Under the unbelievable gaze of everyone, time in this area of the universe actually began to flow backwards! The scattered meteorite fragments crazily regressed and reorganized in a trajectory that could not be caught by the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the planet that had been completely wiped out actually reappeared on its original orbit intact!
"Space–Time Ninjutsu? How is this possible..." This crazy idea exploded in the minds of the five shadows at the same time, but they knew that no ninjutsu could achieve such a magnificent state of reversing time and space and reshaping the stars!
Ian ignored their shattered views and waved his right hand again. An indescribable wave of Law Force was like a whale sucking water, sweeping up all the Natural Energy contained on the planet and keeping it properly.
Immediately afterwards, under the compression of his Space Law, the huge planet began to shrink sharply. The mountains, rivers, crust and mantle were folded crazily, and finally turned into a bright ball only the size of a large glass marble, floating quietly in the palm of his hand!
He skillfully weaved it into an exquisite star necklace, and then handed it to the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi in an extremely gentlemanly manner.
"To this beautiful lady."
"Much... thank you, Your Excellency." Mei Terumi's delicate body trembled violently as she stammered and took the necklace.
"You're welcome. I've put arcane enchantment on it, so only you can move it as easily as picking up a feather. However, it still retains the absolute mass of an entire planet. If you don't believe it, you can try to pick it up." Ian said with a playful smile.
The fourth-generation Raikage Ai, who had a violent personality and did not believe in evil, gritted his teeth and immediately burst into Lightning Release Chakra Mode. His whole body was filled with lightning, and he reached out to grab the necklace in Mei Terumi's hand. However, his terrifying power, which was enough to tear Tailed Beasts apart with his bare hands, could not shake the necklace at all, as if it was an insurmountable Cosmic God mountain!
Seeing this, Killer B instantly transformed into the form of his complete body Gyuki, waving his huge octopus tentacles to help his elder brother, but he remained motionless. The Third Tsuchikage Not to be outdone, Onoki frantically performed "Ultra-Lightweight Rock Technique" in an attempt to reduce the weight of the necklace. But his proud earth escape was as ridiculous as a fly shaking a tree in the face of the real mass of the planet.
"Okay, we've finished flexing our muscles. Now, it's time to move on to the next step." Ian's cold voice interrupted their attempts.
There was another space inversion, and Ian brought this group of stricken shadow-level experts back to Shinobi World and landed on an open plain in Land of Fire.
With a thought in his mind, he opened the different-dimensional Space Magic ring on his finger. In an instant, light flashed! A total of 10,000 war Golem, which was more than ten meters high and exuded a cold metallic luster., descended on the earth like the Great Wall of Steel! Each of these Golem exudes an aura of terror and destruction comparable to Fifth Tier or even Sixth Tier!
"This Golem Legion is more than enough to completely conquer your planet. However, I know that you ninjas have a willpower in your bones that will not shed tears until you see the coffin, and you will never accept the humiliation of surrender so easily. Therefore, I am willing to mercifully give you some time to raise the army and form an alliance. One month, I think, should be enough for you to prepare for your funeral. One month later, the all-out war will officially begin." Ian stood with his hands behind his hands and said in a tone that pronounced his fate.
"Ian, do you have to go to this point?!" Tsunade asked with grief and anger on his face.
"Yes." Ian nodded without hesitation, a glint flashed in his eyes, "You Shinobi World ninjas are simply born assassins. Absorbing all of you will definitely become an important war heritage for my great Empire."
"Then how many people will die in this war? Don't you take human life seriously?" Tsunade asked painfully.
"You can rest assured that no one will die. I have given these Golem the highest level of logic, and they will only use non-lethal physical means to defeat your defenses." Ian replied calmly.
"It is absolutely wrong to launch an invasion by force!" Tsunade gritted his teeth.
"Open up the situation a little more and see more of the supreme glory behind the conquest." Ian was like a missionary god, beginning to describe his grand blueprint, "Once the unification is completed, there will no longer be barriers between villages and countries on this planet, and everyone will become a glorious member of the Arcane Empire!"
"From now on, there will be no more bloody wars fighting for those poor resources. Children no longer have to be used as weapons and sent to the battlefield. Empire will provide them with absolutely free lifelong education and perfect medical care. Not only ninjutsu, but also Empire's vast magical knowledge will be completely open to all citizens to encourage a great leap in wisdom for all people!"
He paused and threw out the most tempting bargaining chip. "In the Arcane Empire, any ordinary citizen has a guaranteed lifespan of at least two hundred years. As long as you can master magic, immortality is by no means a delusion. Empire has long been completely conquered Law of Death! As long as citizens can accumulate enough merits for the Empire, you can even apply to the Empire to perfectly Resurrection your beloved relatives who have died long ago!"
"You... are all these things you said true?" Chiyo asked with tears streaming down his old face like dry tree bark and his whole body shaking violently.
"Every word is Truth. If you want your beloved children to reappear in the world, this is completely possible with the Empire." Ian said calmly, and then turned his profound eyes to Gaara who had been silent. "Of course, this also includes your poor mother."
"This sounds so beautiful, like a carefully woven fantasy." Mei Terumi bit her red lips, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"That's right!" Lei Ying echoed loudly, "I never believe that such a perfect Utopia exists in this world!"
"Of course, there is no absolute perfection in this world. Empire The explosive development of technology and arcana will make it difficult for you backward natives to adapt in a short time." Ian sneered and revealed the cruelty behind the Empire's glory without hesitation, "Also, although Empire The constitution claims that everyone is equal, but there is still a huge class gap between Arcanist, who has the power of a god, and civilians who are powerless. Empire is a civilization where 'natural talent' is paramount. In order to cultivate top talents, many other social factors will be coldly abandoned."
Ian raised his head, and for the first time there was a solemn flash in his eyes. "What's more important is that the Multiverse we are in is far darker than you think. In the depths of the starry sky, entrenched There are some terrifying entities that even I must be on high alert and even fearful of. If one day these indescribable monsters declare war on the Empire, it will definitely be a Cataclysm that will destroy everything."
Hearing this frank and despairing analysis, the five shadow-level experts present all fell into a deadly silence. Each of their brains were frantically weighing the pros and cons, thinking about how to find a way out for their village in the midst of this turmoil of dimensionality reduction strikes.
"Okay, what needs to be said has been said. Now you can go back to your respective villages and prepare yourself for your final destiny."
Ian waved his hand impatiently. A burst of space fluctuations flashed, and the supreme rulers of the five great ninja villages disappeared from their places in an instant and were forcibly sent back to their respective base camps.
