In the Shinobi World, ninjas had been servile before the Ōtsutsuki Clan. But upon coming to the Pirate World, they struck with iron fists.
Regarded as aliens by the World Government, Orochimaru only then realized that the Ōtsutsuki were actually himself!
However, what the ninjas wanted was this world. They would not be like the Ōtsutsuki, planting trees to drain this world dry.

How would this world react?
And just how had
