Chapter 1234: Shiryu, Don't Ruin Yourself!
Thud thud thud thud.
Looking down from overhead, a double-horned bull with a body size comparable to a Tailed Beast, entirely wooden and decorated with emerald branches and leaves.
It was galloping through the vast sea of trees. Its footsteps boomed powerfully, and its momentum was astonishing.
On the back of this giant bull.
Sakazuki, in a red suit with his arms crossed over his chest and wearing a black Army soldier hat, stood straight on top of the bull's head between the two horns.
Allowing the surging gale to blow against his face, causing the pitch-black Coat of Justice behind him to flap loudly.
That pair of slightly gloomy eyes gazed at Loulan constantly approaching in the distance, seemingly lost in some kind of deep thought.
And behind Sakazuki, Aramaki sat on the bull's back with a dejected expression.
His mood was very bad now. Every time his gaze swept over the 'White Karma' on his chest, the expression on his face became increasingly helpless.
Because Lord Imu told him...
The current World Government does not have the ability to remove this Reincarnation Core, used by the Otsutsuki Civilization to transcend death, for him within half a year.
That is to say, he is destined to gradually become an Otsutsuki clan member in the next few months.
This seems like a good thing, but Aramaki doesn't think so.
He can't be a proper Sea Star person, and instead has to become a damn Otsutsuki!
But Aramaki can only accept this cruel fact.
Finally, he also guaranteed to Lord Imu that no matter what, he would firmly consider himself part of the World.
Even if he becomes part of the Otsutsuki clan, he will only be the Otsutsuki clan of the World!
There is just one hope that Lord Imu can agree to.
That is, not to be kicked out of the Army. He still desires to become an Army General.
Aramaki is mainly worried that the World Government will throw him into the Sea Ninja Village just because he became an Otsutsuki.
Actually, if he were to join the Sea Ninja Village, Tengen Uzui, this Second Sea Shadow, most likely wouldn't be able to hold the position for too long.
It's estimated he would also have to be like the previous First Sea Kage Fukurokuju and find an opportunity to abdicate and yield to a worthy successor.
In this way, Aramaki would be the Third Sea Kage, and is destined to be the Sea Kage for a long time.
The key is that the rank of Sea Kage is equivalent to the Military Fleet Admiral. This is considered a direct two-level jump, skipping over the Admiral rank.
But Aramaki still doesn't think so.
He doesn't want to be the Sea Kage of some Sea Ninja Village; he just wants to be Admiral Green Bull of the Army Headquarters.
He even said in front of Sakazuki's darkened face that even if he was given Army Marshal, he wouldn't want it.
How great is Admiral! Not only does it sound impressive, it's also much more free than Fleet Admiral!
Fortunately, the great Lord Imu still promised him before leaving that he wouldn't be sent to the Sea Ninja Village!
This was the only matter that made Aramaki feel happy at this moment.
Besides this, when the data of 'White Karma' finishes unsealing.
He should be able to possess the Dojutsu of Otsutsuki Isshiki, and will also possess chakra and learn various ninjutsu.
But does he really need to delve into this area?
Aramaki thought for a long time and made the decision to ask the man he admired.
Immediately, he raised his head and looked at Sakazuki's back.
"Mr. Sakazuki, what do you think I should do with the new strength I'm about to gain?"
Actually, he should have addressed him as Admiral Akainu.
But he still acted on impulse. Fortunately, Sakazuki didn't object either.
Sakazuki heard the inquiry from his little fanboy behind him.
He didn't mind being interrupted in his thoughts by the other party, but gave his answer after serious thought.
"Do you have Conqueror's Haki?"
"Uh, I don't think so." Aramaki rubbed the back of his head and smiled.
Sakazuki turned around and said, "Then the path of Colorless Haki is cut off."
Aramaki felt doubt: "Why?"
Sakazuki suddenly thought that given the other party's rank, they indeed couldn't access this information.
He immediately stated that Colorless Haki requires the Three Colors of Haki to be combined into one.
Anyway, Aramaki has even met Lord Imu now, and in the future is destined to be an Army General. Knowing high-rank information in advance doesn't matter.
"So that's how it is. My swordsmanship isn't very good either, so I need to focus on developing Mori Mori no Mi ability and martial arts."
Aramaki again pinched his chin as if in thought.
Although he carries a blade with him, his level is actually only that of a Sword Master.
Fighting henchmen is fine, but encountering an expert would definitely be embarrassing.
"Mm, my suggestion is you can try to get in touch with ninjutsu that can further enhance your Mori Mori no Mi ability and martial arts. You can also try to cultivate their Sage Jutsu."
"You and I are both Logia System users. You should also be able to easily absorb natural energy. Plus you also have chakra, so I think you can mix them to produce Sage Mode chakra."
"As for Otsutsuki Isshiki's Dojutsu, it can be used as assistance when necessary, but don't overly rely on it. After all, his combat style is different from yours."
Sakazuki didn't hide anything and said everything he thought and considered.
Now the World Government has one more major enemy. He naturally hopes that their side can have one more expert.
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm."
Aramaki listened and nodded repeatedly, looking at Sakazuki with shining eyes.
This was concern and help from his idol.
Sakazuki, however, didn't care at all. He had actually encountered this kind of fanatical gaze quite a lot.
The military has many officers and soldiers who advocate toughness. The gaze they look at him with is like this.
"Loulan is almost here. Later, you will follow the suggestion of the Sage of Six Paths and go to the Shinobi Sect."
Sakazuki turned around again, looking at the silhouette of Loulan City that could already be seen at the end of his line of sight.
Before everyone dispersed earlier, Otsutsuki Hagoromo suggested that Aramaki find his own brother, who is Otsutsuki Hamura, to learn the most authentic Gentle Fist.
After all, he will possess Byakugan later, and it will be the Otsutsuki's Perfect Byakugan.
So it's best to still learn a hand of Gentle Fist and Chakra Point Strike.
As for whether he wants to delve deeper later, that depends on his own choice.
Actually, Aramaki already had a choice in his heart.
He had knowledge of Gentle Fist previously when fighting against Konoha Ninja.
It was the time when Hyuga Hiashi used his finger to poke at him for a long time, but surprisingly had no effect at all.
To be honest, Aramaki, whose origin is the World, doesn't really like this kind of soft martial arts.
Thinking about the many martial arts of the World, they are still biased towards a fierce and powerful style.
And his own martial arts habit is also straightforward, either using fists or using legs.
However, based on the idea that having many skills doesn't weigh you down, he decided to still try learning it first.
If it really doesn't work, then he will go to the 'Ninja Taijutsu Specialist Ninja High School' to learn the Konoha Style Taijutsu that is more to his liking.
As for Sage Jutsu, that's even simpler.
The cultivation method for Sage Jutsu, those two Holy Lands had long since handed over to the World Government.
They also have to submit 'Toad Oil' and 'Slug Mucus' annually that can assist cultivation.
If 'Snake Venom' is needed, Impel Down can find the White Snake Sage to squeeze it out fresh.
However, after Aramaki heard Sakazuki's words, he asked curiously, "Would it be better if I stayed? Didn't that Vice Admiral Shiryu say..."
But before his words fell, Sakazuki interrupted without turning his head.
"He is my subordinate, and even more so, my adjutant. His matter, I will handle myself!"
Sakazuki's tone was heavy, and Aramaki didn't dare to say more.
Not long after, the giant bull arrived at a position less than ten kilometers from Loulan.
Only to see Sakazuki directly jump off the bull's head, landing in the shade of the green trees in the forest.
Waiting for the giant bull carrying Aramaki to leave with a rumbling sound.
Only then did he take out from his coat pocket a Den Den Mushi also wearing a small black hat.
As a few 'Purururu' sounds rang out, the other side finally picked up the phone.
"Who?"
It was Shiryu, no mistake. Sakazuki narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"It's me. I am currently ten kilometers north of Loulan. Come find me immediately."
Shiryu on the other side was silent for a moment, finally replying, "Okay, Admiral Akainu."
The call ended. The Den Den Mushi closed its eyes and was put back into Sakazuki's pocket.
"Shiryu, don't ruin yourself, otherwise..." Sakazuki muttered to himself.
