Since the last battle at Sunagakure, Vivi has made further progress in developing the Sand-Sand Fruit, and her strength has increased by leaps and bounds.

Don't forget, she climbed to the position of executive conductor in the Baroque Works, a company with thousands of members, when she was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although their talents cannot compare to those sea monsters, they are by no means inferior.

Especially now that he possesses a Logia-type Devil Fruit and has the support of an unwavering will, his future is limitless.

In addition, Mr.1's strength has also made great progress.

He was the strongest member of Baroque Works besides Crocodile, and was virtually unmatched in Alabasta.

The Swift Cleave Fruit allows him to transform his entire body into a weapon at any time, while also increasing the hardness of his body.

In Shiranui Sho's eyes, Vivi and Mr. 1 already possess the strength of elite Jonin.

As for which one is better... that's hard to say.

If it were before, Shiranui Akira could have asserted that Vivi, who had mastered elemental transformation, was superior.

But something Mr. 1 mentioned when reporting to him not long ago has made this outcome uncertain.

Apart from Vivi and Mr.1, the rest of them are also quite capable.

Of course, what Shiranui Sho cares about is not only combat power, but also the special abilities of some Devil Fruit users.

"Lord Xiao, will this child also participate in the upcoming operation?"

Vivi's gaze fell on Elsa, who was curiously looking around, and she couldn't help but ask.

In her eyes, the girl seemed to be only about ten years old, still a child.

"Don't underestimate me, I am a warrior of Sandia!"

Upon hearing this, Aisha immediately shouted loudly.

However, she also sensed the concern in Weiwei's words, and her tone was not harsh.

But the little girl's eagerness to prove her appearance only exacerbated Vivi's worries.

Although there are minors like Miss Huang Jinzhou among the cadres present, Huang Jinzhou is already a seasoned veteran with special abilities.

Seeing the worry in Weiwei's eyes, Shiranui Xiao smiled slightly and explained:

“If it were before, I wouldn’t have agreed to let Aisha participate in this operation.”

"However, not long ago, Elsa discovered something that gave me a pleasant surprise."

Then, Shiranui Sho looked at Aisha and said, "Aisha, show everyone your newly acquired power."

"Yes, Lord Xiao!"

Elsa nodded in response, and then a glint of light flashed in her dark red eyes.

The next second, she gently spread her slender, fair hands forward, and under the gaze of Xing Su Gu, large, fluffy, and heavy pure white clouds suddenly rose around her.

The clouds slowly rose upwards from the center of her hands, instantly filling the entire spacious conference hall.

Soft clouds circled around the two sides of the trees sitting upright.

Then, Elsa's body disappeared into the clouds.

Standing there, Weiwei suddenly felt a light tap on her back. When she turned around, all she saw was a blanket of white mist.

Elsa, who was naturally lively, was in a playful mood at this moment. Also, in order to prove herself, she turned into a cloud and patted everyone present.

Mr.2 noticed the movement behind him and quickly reached behind him, but his arm got stuck in a cloud and didn't touch anything.

"This...this is!?"

He was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what kind of ability this was.

Mr. 1 twitched his finger, but did not do anything further, taking it as just a child's prank.

"Alright, Elsa."

Shiranui Sho said softly, "You'll have plenty of opportunities to demonstrate your abilities from now on. Now, let's begin today's meeting."

"Yes!"

Elsa, who had just played a prank, was quite well-behaved in front of Shiranui Xiao. After responding, she reappeared beside Shiranui Xiao.

Then, all the clouds and fog slowly dispersed and gradually dissipated into the air.

“Elsa, it seems this fruit is perfect for you.”

Shiranui Sou nodded slightly.

Nearby, Nicole Robin also secretly thought about Elsa's...

She now works on the Sky Island and was the first person to witness Elsa gain this ability.

Just last week, Elsa suddenly came to her and said that she found a Devil Fruit while picking wild fruit, and she didn't know what kind of power it had.

Robin looked at it carefully; it was a pure white fruit, like a soft, large cotton candy.

Then, she contacted Shiranui Sho, and the two of them checked the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia together.

The results were surprising.

This devil fruit is actually a Logia-type Cloud Fruit!

So Elsa chose to eat the Devil Fruit, gaining the ability to transform her body into clouds.

And the power of the Cloud Fruit is indeed very compatible with Aisha.

She was born with the ability to create mental images, which is the ability to use Observation Haki. Just as the Rumble-Rumble Fruit enhances Observation Haki, the Cloud-Cloud Fruit has a similar effect.

This is also why Shiranui Sho agreed to let Aisha participate.

With her Observation Haki and the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, Aisha already possesses formidable fighting power.

In addition, her natural elemental powers make it difficult for anyone in the ninja world to harm Aisha.

Chapter 195 Xinggang was greatly shocked!

Seeing Elsa's abilities, Vivi was no longer as worried as before.

As a user of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, Aisha will be fine as long as she doesn't encounter someone with Armament Haki.

Shiranui Sho glanced around, took the head seat, and officially began the meeting.

"Our next location is... Konoha!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Siting cried out.

Leaf?

Aren't we sitting in "Konoha" right now?

Upon seeing the bloody corpse, he calmly explained, "It's not the Konoha Company of Alabasta, but the Hidden Village of Konoha where I live."

Then, he briefly explained the relevant information about Konoha, ninjas, and ninjutsu.

"Can such a magical place really exist in the world?"

Mr. 1's eyes widened. Ninjas, ninjutsu—all of this undoubtedly overturned his understanding.

In particular, when Shiranui Sho mentioned that they might fight some powerful ninjas, he felt his fighting spirit boiling over.

He was a restless person by nature, and the lack of worthy opponents in Alabasta had long made him restless.

"Don't worry, Bonnie."

Shiranui Sho looked at Mr. 1 and said gently, "This time, you should be able to meet some decent opponents."

Then, Shiranui Sho looked around and said seriously, "Next, we'll discuss the overall plan for this operation!"

……

After several days of fermentation, the atmosphere in Konoha Village began to become strange.

Just a few days ago, Shiranui Sho, who was already well-known, was a hero who was ambushed by the Third Mizukage during a mission, but ultimately killed him, thus demonstrating the power of Konoha.

However, a few days later, this name was condemned by many as someone who sought fame and fortune through deception.

It wasn't a one-on-one direct confrontation with the Mizukage, but rather a sneak attack with the assistance of others.

The battle did not break out due to conflict during the mission, but rather it was a sneak attack during negotiations between Konoha and Kirigakure, driven by a desire for personal reputation, disregarding the impending war.

With the added influence of those behind the scenes, many people have begun to believe that this is the so-called "truth."

After all, most boys of Shiranui Xiao's age are only genin or chunin, and only a small number of exceptionally talented individuals can become jinin.

But Shiranui Akatsuki is said to have single-handedly defeated the Mizukage, how is that possible?

As a result, much of the worship and longing turned into disgust and resentment.

"That Jonin named Shiranui Sho killed the Third Mizukage..."

Minato Namikaze, who had just returned to the village, was on his way to the Hokage's office with the genin he had been training to report on the mission results when he was stunned by a faint voice he heard.

Xiao killed the Third Mizukage?

Are you kidding me?

I've only been away from the village for ten days, not ten years!

While Minato Namikaze was still in a daze, the second half of the sentence followed.

"How could he be so selfish? He plotted against the Third Mizukage just to gain fame for himself, without even considering the consequences of dragging the village back into war?"

"I heard he was an orphan, so of course he wouldn't care if other people's relatives and friends died in the war!"

"..."

Minato Namikaze's face suddenly darkened, and a bad premonition began to grow in his heart.

He glanced down at his students and said, "I have something to do here. You guys go eat first. I'll submit the task later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato vanished from his spot and ran towards the Shiranui clan's residence.

Minato Namikaze also considered whether he should directly use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go to Sho Shiranui's house to find him.

But then he thought again that his good friend wasn't like before, always surrounded by girls. It would definitely be inappropriate for him to show up so abruptly.

Thinking of this, Minato, who was once a close brother who grew up together, felt a little melancholy.

However, when he thought about how his relationship with Uzumaki Ona had been developing steadily recently, this feeling of melancholy vanished.

Even without using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato's speed is extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, they crossed several streets and arrived at the building where Shiranui Sho lived.

In order to save time, he didn't even take the stairs. Instead, he leaped high into the air, covered his feet with chakra, walked along the wall to the corresponding floor, and crossed the railing to reach the corridor.

Without the slightest hesitation, Minato knocked on Shiranui Sou's door with his knuckles.

Soon, Shiranui Sho, who had just returned from Alabasta, heard the knocking on the door and quickly activated her Observation Haki.

Sensing the familiar presence outside the door, his expression shifted slightly.

"Watergate?"

Shiranui Sho arrived at the entrance and opened the door, where a blond-haired boy appeared with a solemn expression.

Minato's gaze swept over the few remaining grains of sand on Shiranui Sho's clothes, but he didn't think much of it and said directly:

"Xiao, I just got back to the village and heard those rumors outside. What's going on?"

Before Shiranui Sho could answer, Minato's gaze fell upon the sharpness in Shiranui Sho's eyes, and his expression shifted slightly:

"Wait, judging from your eyes, are you going to kill someone?"

Having studied under the same master and supported each other on the battlefield for many years, Minato could easily discern the other's expression.

During the Second Shinobi World War, whenever Shiranui Sho showed this look, she would then engage in a life-or-death battle with the enemy!

"...I guess so."

Shiranui Sou coughed lightly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to conceal the murderous intent in his eyes.

Just five minutes earlier, he had finished a meeting with his subordinates, during which the word "kill" had been mentioned dozens of times in the meeting room.

It's perfectly normal for there to be some lingering murderous intent in one's eyes.
