Meanwhile, inside the Hokage Dungeon.
Sabo and his companions only felt dizzy, and when they came to their senses, they found themselves in a forest.
Looking around, all that could be seen was an endless forest, with not a single person in sight.
"Is this the dungeon? It looks exactly like our world. Is it really true, as you said, that there are Akainu with unimaginable strength here? Or is it that you and the old man were not strong enough and almost capsized in the gutter, which is why you said such a thing?"
Ace adjusted his hat, looked around, and then said with a smile.
"However, since Bai Yu wants us to finish this quickly, does that mean the opponent isn't very strong?"
"After all, Sabo and I are, after all, his sworn brothers. Although our relationship isn't that deep, I think he'll make an exception for us."
As he spoke, Ace patted Sabo on the shoulder without any hesitation.
After so many years apart, Ace thought he should never see Sabo again in this lifetime.
The emotions I feel now that we can meet again are clearly beyond words.
The Red-Haired standing to the side chuckled, took a swig of his drink, and said, " Ace, what you said makes a lot of sense. It's our first time in a place like this, so hopefully we can get some good luck here."
" Akainu, you're right, aren't you!"
Akainu remained silent. Having already experienced this place before, he had already spread his Observation Haki.
When facing an unknown enemy, there is only one thing you can do: know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.
As a senior, Akainu also spoke up, which was unusual for him.
"This is a dungeon world. As long as you complete the dungeon and its quests, you will gain new power. As for the quests, they should appear soon."
"I don't know how close your relationship with Bai Yu really is, or whether he'll give you any opportunities to take advantage of him. But I still advise you to be extremely careful, otherwise you might really be caught off guard and suffer a setback."
Looking at Akainu's solemn Akainu, Ace smiled casually, about to say something, when a clear system notification sounded in his mind.
"Ding-dong, the Hokage Dungeon has been successfully activated. Players are requested to defeat the Gold and Silver Brothers of the Kumogakure within 24 hours."
"Upon completion of the task, the quality of the reward will be assessed based on the task performance."
As the system notification faded, a countdown funnel, visible only to them, appeared in the void.
Seeing this, Ace, Sabo, and the other two clearly showed a hint of curiosity.
Before they came in, they had indeed heard Akainu's explanation, but after experiencing it firsthand, they understood what it meant for the world to be full of wonders.
"Someone's coming!"
Akainu suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Ace, Sabo, and the other two raised an eyebrow and quickly followed Akainu's gaze.
The first thing that caught the eye was a large group of figures rushing towards them at breakneck speed.
Leading the group was none other than the Third Raikage, followed closely by the Kinkaku and Ginkaku Brothers, along with dozens of Gold and Silver Force ninjas.
Compared to Akainu and the others, the Third Raikage and the others, who were still talking, also noticed the four uninvited guests in front of them. Their quick pace suddenly stopped, and they ended up falling more than ten meters away.
He stared at everyone with a wary expression.
"Who are you people?" The Third Raikage's expression darkened as he spoke first.
He was just about to reject Kinkaku and Ginkaku's suggestion and return to ambush the people of Konoha Ninja Village.
He never expected that his path would be blocked by four people of unknown origin.
What puzzled the Third Raikage most was the appearance of these four people; under the influence of Sensory Ninjutsu, it was as if they appeared out of thin air.
It is precisely for this reason that the Third Raikage is so solemnly on guard.
"Hmph, Lord Raikage, we said long ago that we should strike first against the people of Konoha. As expected, Tobirama Senju is as ruthless as ever, having already laid an ambush along the way."
Ginkaku, who was a size smaller, snorted and spoke first.
"Now we shouldn't worry about the so-called peace agreement, right? Let's kill these uninvited guests first, and then wipe out Tobirama Senju and the others in one fell swoop."
"As long as Konoha Ninja Village loses its First and Second Hokage, no one can stop our Land of Lightning's army. Before the other Three Great Shinobi Villages can react, we can annex Konoha in one fell swoop and become the most powerful force in the Shinobi World."
The cold, sharp words echoed through the woods for a long time.
Faced with four uninvited guests, Ginkaku clearly made no attempt to conceal his ambition, completely abandoning all pretense of civility.
Kinkaku remained silent, but as brothers, they had always been ambitious, and now that Ginkaku had spoken, they were ready to act.
Therefore, Kinkaku's opinion is clearly no longer important.
The Third Raikage's expression darkened immediately. He looked at the four uninvited guests who were also sizing him up, and after a moment's thought, he spoke.
"Capture these four first, then take them to Tobirama Senju to find out what he really means. The two countries are currently negotiating, and we can't afford to make mistakes because of misunderstandings."
As the current Raikage of Kumogakure, he was also the one who started the First Shinobi World War.
The biggest reason is the presence of spies hidden in Konoha Ninja Village. Rumors have spread that the First Hokage of Konoha died from his injuries after his battle with Madara Uchiha.
The loss of Konoha Ninja Village's strongest God of Shinobi undoubtedly caused Konoha Ninja Village to lose its deterrent power over the Shinobi World as well.
It was for this very reason that the Third Raikage resolutely launched the First Shinobi World War.
Unfortunately, Tobirama Senju's strength and leadership clearly exceeded the expectations of the Kumogakure.
At the same time, the strength of the new generation has exceeded their expectations.
This led to a stalemate in the battle. Hashirama Senju, who was rumored to be dead, suddenly reappeared and swiftly defeated the main battlefield, leaving the Third Raikage with no will to continue fighting.
Only then will we proceed to the negotiation stage.
Ginkaku's face darkened instantly. He looked at the figure in front of him and exchanged a glance with Kinkaku.
He just spent a lot of time and effort explaining things, but in the end, he still got this result.
This undoubtedly caused Ginkaku to completely lose patience.
In his eyes, since the Raikage was unable to fulfill his ambitions, the only solution was to replace him.
At the same time, Ace and the others couldn't help but take a look at the group of people in front of them.
Faced with this group of uninvited guests, he secretly and quickly analyzed their combat strength.
" Sabo, is there any result?" Ace stared intently at the Third Raikage, asking without turning his head.
"The three leading figures must be of high status. Based on the task just given, two of them should be Kinkaku Ginkaku."
"As for the other dozens of people, they have some strength, but they pose no threat."
