Chapter 1015: Marshal Raymond's Proposal!
...
...
The Ninja Sect Main Hall in the Ninja World Pure Land was dead silent.
From the sharp gaze projected by Imu on the virtual screen, both Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo detected a hint of condescending amusement.
Clearly, the other party had discovered that they were 'watching' him.
This was incredibly strange, considering the two sides were separated by the Human World and the Netherworld.
Even the so-called Sixth Sense should not, in theory, be effective across world layers.
So how did the other party sense that he was being monitored?
"Is this... Lord Imu's Clone...?"
Otsutsuki Hamura couldn't help but murmur.
To be honest, with the power of that single blade strike just now, his 'Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' alone definitely wouldn't be able to block it.
Perhaps if he had a 'Complete Form' 'Great Tenseigan', he might be able to.
Because in his estimation, his 'Tenseigan Chakra Mode' combined with the assistance of the 'Great Tenseigan' should not be weaker than his Elder Brother's 'Ten-Tails Jinchuriki Form'.
However, the 'Great Tenseigan' is currently not only incomplete, but Otsutsuki Masato has also been taken away by the World Government.
This made it impossible for him to use Summoning Jutsu to get him back.
After all, while Summoning Jutsu possesses the Space-Time Attribute, it's impossible to connect to another Cosmic Star Zone across a Star Gate.
From this perspective, he and Otsutsuki Hagoromo were in the same boat.
Except the latter had his Tailed Beasts and the right to transform into the 'Ten-Tails Jinchuriki Form' taken away.
The path for both of them to be promoted to the Six Paths Level was fundamentally cut off.
Unless the World Government allows them to do so someday and sends back the 'Great Tenseigan' and the Nine Great Tailed Beasts.
Was this a coincidence?
Or was someone doing this deliberately?
Slowly, Otsutsuki Hamura fell into deep thought over this question.
He sat on the cushion, head lowered, not saying a word.
He hadn't felt much before, but the more he learned about Imu, the more he felt that he and his Elder Brother had been calculated against...
Honestly, he was both angry and helpless!
Meanwhile, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, sitting opposite him, watched the image feed of Imu instantly disappearing. He was estimating the strength of this 'Clone' based on that single blade strike just now.
Actually, in terms of power, he felt it was comparable to his own full strength attack.
That is to say, a Perfect Susanoo combined with a Truth-Seeking Ball forming the Sword of Nunoboko could also force back the Demonic Claw that extended from the Gate of the Underworld.
Furthermore, the Truth-Seeking Ball itself possesses the Annihilation Property, causing the Demonic Claw to suffer heavy damage.
And it was even more severe than Imu's shattering and preventing regeneration.
Because the Truth-Seeking Ball annihilates the soul itself.
If one's attainment in the soul aspect isn't high enough, no matter how strong the opponent is, it will be difficult to recover a missing arm.
What Otsutsuki Hagoromo cared about was that even a Clone of Imu possessed strength comparable to his own, and even its space-related means surpassed his own ability.
This basically confirmed that the strength of the opponent's main body far exceeded imagination.
If it was just speculation before, now it was seeing is believing!
"Hamura, it seems we truly cannot afford to provoke Lord Imu, nor can we provoke the World Government. From now on, regarding their requirements, cooperate as much as possible. Just try your best to retain the Ninja World's autonomy."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo sighed deeply and instructed his younger brother in a low voice.
"Then are we just going to forget about the 'Great Tenseigan' and the 'Tailed Beasts'?"
Otsutsuki Hamura clenched his fist, somewhat unwillingly.
"Let's just leave it at that for now. If there's a chance in the future, we'll apply according to the rules they set. Moreover, the one standing opposite the Otsutsuki Clan now isn't us, but the World Government."
"If necessary, I think they will actively return these things to us. If it's not necessary, it means the World Government can handle them themselves, wouldn't that be great?"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo had completely come to terms with it.
Or rather, he was optimistically comforting himself, and also comforting his younger brother.
He always felt that whether it was approaching problems or solving problems, it wasn't something that happened overnight.
They needed to take a long-term perspective, stretching the timeline out further; changes would always appear.
Anyway, as the Lord of the Pure Land, he shared lifespan with the Netherworld.
And with his protection, his younger brother also didn't need to consider soul lifespan.
They didn't understand Imu and the World Government well enough yet, which also required long-term contact.
No rush, take it slow.
As long as the Divine Tree itself, the Gedo Statue, isn't touched, that's the bottom line.
With Lord Imu's ability to foresee a thousand years, he must understand this clearly.
That's why the World Government side never mentioned this aspect to Hamura from beginning to end.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo was satisfied with this, feeling that Imu had a good sense of propriety.
But was that really the case?
It seems that in the Ninja World, he isn't the only one who can Summon the Gedo Statue now.
At the same time.
The war in the Ninja World Land of Swamps finally settled with the disappearance of the Gate of the Underworld.
Onigumo, Dalmatian, Oven, and others led their respective Main Combat Divisions and began preparations for returning to Rōran.
In this battle against the Demons, Vice Admiral Charlotte Oven's Third Main Combat Division and Vice Admiral Dalmatian's Fifth Main Combat Division suffered nearly two thousand deaths and a total of over five thousand light and severe casualties.
This could be said to be the Army's largest casualty count in their Otherworld Conquest over the past five years.
Whether it was the Demons' various strange methods, their bizarre magic, or their enormous numbers, they brought terrifying pressure.
This doesn't even count the casualties on the Ninja Alliance Army's side.
That side could only be described as horrifying to behold.
Basically, the ninjas who survived this time were either exceptionally lucky or had strength at least at the Chunin level or above.
Even if they didn't before, after this experience, once they process it upon returning, they should have reached that level.
However, the Uchiha Clan truly suffered heavy losses.
Not only did the Clan Leader go blind just a few days after awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan, but the jōnin clansmen within the clan who had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan also almost all died.
If there are no accidents, the Uchiha Clan is probably going to decline next...
Regarding the return trip.
The First Main Combat Legion still had to travel by vehicle this time.
Because Natala, the Imperial Arms User of the Dimensional Array, had run out of stamina and was forcibly sent back to Rōran by airship to rest.
But his contribution this time was huge.
The reason the three Artillery Regiments could continuously suppress the Gate of the Underworld before was entirely due to his Dimensional Array continuously transporting cannonballs and cannon barrels.
The latter was because some cannon barrels became overheated and unusable, so new ones had to be brought over to replace them.
Therefore, the Otherworld Strategy Committee has begun to consider applying for a Zoan-type Devil Fruit for Natala and Yin to further enhance their physical ability.
Marshal Raymond expressed strong support for this.
Because the Army had already reaped the benefits of these two Strategic-Class Imperial Arms from the Otherworld.
It's just that the physiques of this pair of youngsters from the Otherworld are too weak.
Raymond was not very satisfied with this point.
Even after being injected with the Perfect Type-I Cell Reinforcement Serum, they only lasted less than a day and a half.
Are these still young people?
Marshal Raymond even proposed that Yin and Natala come to the Army Headquarters to undergo training.
First, unleash all the potential brought by the Cell Enhancement Serum.
For example, three thousand push-ups every day, climbing a 200-meter rope 200 round trips at high altitude, and a 500-meter long-distance running for 300 laps!
When their stamina can continuously use the Imperial Arms for three days and three nights, they will be given a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.
That way, they should be able to last for five days and five nights, which is barely enough...
