Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

West Sea.

On the warship.

After the Den Den Mushi hangs up.

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel's hand bones were white, and his fingernails were deeply embedded in the flesh, almost drawing blood.

The order from the Warring States marshal was like the straw that broke the camel's back, shattering his barely maintained fighting spirit.

"The Marshal has given the order!"

"Retreat the entire army!"

next moment.

The distorted roar pierced through the artillery fire.

The sound echoed across the shattered sea, carrying an undeniable mix of relief and despair.

midair.

Kizaru transformed into countless dazzling particles of light, narrowly avoiding a Tailed Beast Ball.

The hurricane brushed against his cheek.

Even though they had already used elemental transformation long ago.

But that strange natural energy still caused his internal organs to ache faintly.

"Oh dear."

"What a terrifying monster."

Kizaru drew out his words, his figure re-condensing in mid-air hundreds of meters away.

His orange-skinned old face was full of fatigue.

The yellow striped suit was tattered and even showed signs of burning.

Hearing the flying squirrel's call, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This salary I'm receiving today feels like a hot potato.

Without hesitation, he turned around and transformed into a dazzling pillar of light, preparing to cover the remaining warships below as they fled the battlefield.

however.

Akainu, on the other hand, thought differently.

"asshole!"

Akainu let out a furious roar.

His right arm transformed into scorching lava, like an erupting volcano.

The massive burst of fire kicked up clouds of smoke and dust, managing to withstand the massive sword strike from Susanoo.

Hot lava splashed everywhere.

It landed on the sea surface, making a piercing "hissing" sound and raising a large cloud of white mist.

Akainu's facial muscles twitched violently.

A terrifying killing intent burned in those bloodshot eyes.

"Absolute justice will not tolerate retreat!"

"Today, I will annihilate all of you evil sparks!"

Akainu's chest heaved violently; he was completely unable to accept the order to retreat.

A dignified naval admiral was driven to this point by two teenagers of unknown origin.

If they just slink away with their tails between their legs...

Where is the navy's prestige?

Where will the world government put its face?

Even if it means dying here.

He would never allow justice to be disgraced!

"Hound of the Underworld!"

Akainu extended both arms, transforming them into two roaring magma hounds.

The terrifying heat distorted the air itself, tearing towards Sasuke and Naruto.

Sasuke stood within the purple Susanoo.

The Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, radiating a chilling aura.

"Not running?"

"Then let's stay here forever."

Susanoo draws a giant chakra longbow.

Indra's arrow, wreathed in raging black flames, pierced through the magma hound in an instant.

The explosion was deafening.

Akainu was thrown back by the violent shockwave, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But he still gritted his teeth.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the retreat, they prepared to launch the next attack.

Just then.

Kizaru flashed to his side and grabbed Akainu's wrist.

"Sakazuki, calm down."

"Do you intend to disobey the orders of the Warring States Marshal?"

Kizaru's voice, unusually devoid of its usual languor, carried a sense of solemnity.

"The forces on the other side are completely unreasonable."

"That strange energy can directly harm our physical bodies; if we continue fighting, we'll die here."

Akainu forcefully shook off Kizaru's hand.

His chest felt like it was being violently pulled by a bellows, and his gaze was fixed on the two enormous energy bodies in the distance.

Reason told him that Kizaru was right.

The power of these two boys has completely exceeded the common sense of Devil Fruits.

Continuing to fight head-on will only lead to the destruction of the entire fleet.

"retreat!"

Akainu squeezed out those two words through gritted teeth.

Every word was accompanied by a deep sense of humiliation.

He turned and transformed into a stream of lava, rushing towards the nearest warship.

"The entire army must change course!"

"Leave this area immediately!"

Akainu's roar echoed across the sea.

The surviving naval soldiers were all granted a pardon.

They maneuvered the damaged warship, attempting to turn around and escape.

coastline.

Uchiha Shisui crossed his arms over his chest, a gentle breeze ruffling his short hair.

He watched the warships fleeing in panic on the sea, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"You think you can just leave already?"

"You have spoiled His Majesty's mood, how can we let you leave like this?"

Uchiha Itachi, who was standing to the side, also silently drew the short sword from his back.

The crimson three-tomoe mark spun rapidly in his eye socket, instantly transforming into a complex windmill pattern.

"Unforgivable."

Itachi Uchiha's voice was as light as a feather, yet it carried a chilling killing intent.

His Majesty has only just arrived in this world.

These guys who call themselves the navy dare to bombard His Majesty's island with cannons.

This is a desecration of the empire, and it must be washed away with blood.

"Let's do it."

Kakashi pulled down the headband covering his left eye.

He drew the White Fang short blade with a backhand motion, and lightning chakra leaped wildly along the blade.

The instant the command was issued.

The entire coastline was in an uproar.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Dozens of elite members of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans simultaneously formed hand seals.

The raging fire and howling winds intertwined, transforming into a massive, fiery red storm that hurtled straight towards the sea.

Akimichi Choza's body swelled up, transforming into a small giant tens of meters tall.

He was like a human bomb, riding the waves as he charged toward the warship.

Yamanaka Inoichi closed his eyes.

An invisible spiritual force, like a large net, instantly enveloped several warships in the distance.

"The Art of Mind Transference!"

The helmsman on the warship suddenly froze.

next second.

They turned their boat around and rammed it hard into their friendly forces.

Chaos reigned on the sea.

The sounds of wood breaking and screams mingled together.

Akainu had just landed on the deck of a warship, and before he could even get his footing, the sky suddenly went dark.

A deadly sense of crisis swept over me.

Akainu suddenly looked up.

A turquoise Susanoo burst through the air and arrived.

The enormous spiral sword whipped up a devastating storm and slashed down!

"What?"

Akainu's pupils contracted sharply.

There are monsters of this level?

He roared and his arms transformed into a giant magma shield.

"boom!"

The spiral sword collided heavily with the magma.

The terrifying force split the entire warship in two.

Akainu crashed into the sea like a cannonball, sending up a water column tens of meters high.

The seawater boiled instantly.

Akainu struggled with all his might, managing to barely make it out of the sea with the help of a piece of wood.

Before he could even regain his footing...

A massive, orange-red chakra sword silently pierced through from behind.

Itachi Uchiha's Totsuka Blade.

With the power to seal souls, it precisely targeted Akainu's back.

Akainu's hair stood on end.

Armament Haki instantly covered his entire body, attempting to withstand the attack head-on.

"it's useless."

Itachi Uchiha's voice rang in his ears.

A dense surge of Sage Chakra directly tore through Armament Haki.

The Totsuka Blade grazed Akainu's shoulder and pierced into him.

Vast swaths of lava turned into blood and splattered down.

Akainu let out a muffled groan as half of his body went completely numb.

"Who exactly are you people?!"

Akainu's eyes widened in anger as he roared in resentment.

In response, Naruto unleashed a Tailed Beast Ball from the sky, and Sasuke delivered a merciless Kagutsuchi attack.

The four super-shadow-level powerhouses have formed a deadlock.

This effectively trapped the admiral in the center.

Kizaru saw this scene from a distance.

That orange-peel-like old face could no longer maintain its former composure.

"Sakazuki!"

Kizaru transformed into a flash of light, attempting to rush into the battle to provide assistance.

"Your opponent is me."

Kakashi appeared in front of the pillar of light like a ghost.

The white fang dagger in his hand emitted a blinding flash of lightning.

"Raikiri!"

Lightning and flash collided with a deafening roar.

Kizaru was forced to reveal his true form.

His right trouser leg was torn, leaving a shallow bloodstain.

"You can even keep up with my speed..."

Kizaru clenched his fists, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

Hiashi Hyuga attacked from the flank, an invisible wave of chakra hurtling straight at Kizaru's face.

Kizaru was forced to transform into his elemental form again to dodge.

But the shockwave penetrated the light particles, causing his blood and qi to surge.

He understood.

This group's power system completely counters Logia-type Devil Fruits.

If he stays any longer, he too will be left here forever.

Kizaru glanced at Akainu, who was surrounded and unable to fight back.

Reason prevailed over camaraderie.

"Sakazuki!"

"I'm sorry, but I must take the intelligence back to headquarters."

Kizaru transformed into countless points of light.

It hurtles toward the distant horizon at speeds exceeding limits.

"Trying to run away?"

Kakashi wanted to give chase.

"Let him be."

Uchiha Shisui's voice drifted from afar.

"His Majesty gave the instructions."

"Only by leaving one alive to go back and report can we make this sea tremble."

Kakashi stopped and sheathed his short sword.

The battle on the sea has already lost its suspense.

Akainu was bombarded in turn by four Kage-level powerhouses.

His prized magma abilities were completely rendered useless in the face of magical arts.

His bones were broken in many places, and his tattered navy coat was stained with blood.

finally.

The blade of the Totsuka Blade slammed hard into the back of Akainu's head.

The iron-willed general rolled his eyes back, filled with resentment and humiliation, and finally fainted.

the other side.

The cleanup work for the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the Hyuga clan also went exceptionally smoothly.

Several lieutenant generals, including Flying Squirrel, had their limbs broken and were thrown onto the wrecked deck like dead dogs.

Ordinary naval soldiers were powerless to resist and were all taken together.

Yamato stood on the shore, his hands clasped together.

Giant wood-style vines rose from the seabed, binding the damaged warships tightly.

The vines, like giant snakes, dragged the warship slowly toward the port of the Kingdom of Orut.

The battle ended quickly.

It happened so fast that the civilians on the island didn't even have time to react.

They hid behind the broken walls and ruins.

Through the gap, I could see the group of men in black who seemed to have descended from the heavens.

The arrogant Celestial Dragon was killed in the street.

The naval fleet, symbolizing absolute justice, was completely annihilated.

This world is about to change!

……

The Kingdom of Orte.

Royal Palace.

The main hall was deathly silent.

The original king and his ministers were all expelled.

The heavy wooden door was tightly closed, with only a few rays of sunlight filtering in through the high window.

Chiba sat upright on the high throne.

He rested his chin on one hand, his gaze calmly fixed on the ground below.

In the center of the hall.

Akainu was roughly thrown onto the cold marble floor.

His limbs were tightly bound by specially made chakra chains.

The power of the Magma-Magma Fruit was completely suppressed by Sage Chakra, rendering it unable to move at all.

The cold water was splashed on Akainu's face.

He suddenly jolted awake from his unconsciousness.

A sharp, piercing pain spread throughout my body.

Akainu struggled to raise his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Chiba on the throne.

"You damned thugs!"

"Dare to kill world nobles and provoke the navy's bottom line."

"The World Government will never let you get away with this!"

"This sea will become your graveyard!"

Akainu roared furiously, spitting blood and saliva onto the ground.

His frenzied appearance was like that of a hungry wolf cornered in a desperate situation.

Even if you're tightly bound, you still have to take a piece of the enemy's flesh.

Both sides of the main hall.

Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi's eyes turned cold as they gripped the hilts of their swords.

Chiba slightly raised his hand, stopping his subordinate's actions.

He rose from his throne and slowly walked down the steps.

With each step closer, the sense of oppression in the air grew stronger.

finally.

Chiba stopped three steps away from Akainu, looking down at the disheveled admiral.

"thug?"

"Sakazuki, you keep claiming to be fighting for justice."

"Then I'd like to ask you, what exactly is your definition of justice?"

Chiba's voice echoed in the empty hall.

Akainu, neck stiff, met Chiba's gaze without fear.

Those six-tomoe Rinnegan sent a shiver down his spine for no apparent reason, but he forced it down.

"My justice is to utterly eradicate the evil from this sea!"

"We must exterminate those pirates who plunder civilians and disrupt order!"

Even if it means sacrificing some people, even if it means bearing the stigma of being cold-blooded.

"As long as it maintains overall stability, I will do anything!"

"This is absolute justice!"

Akainu's voice was firm and resonant, carrying an almost obsessive fanaticism.

Chiba listened quietly until the end.

Then.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Maintaining overall stability?"

"Is eliminating pirates justice?"

"Your navy defines pirates as evil, and that's not wrong."

"Pirates commit arson, murder, and looting, and do all sorts of atrocities; they truly deserve to die."

"But have you ever considered who forced so many people to go to sea and become pirates?"

Upon hearing this...

Akainu was slightly taken aback, but then rebuked without hesitation.

"It's their inherently greedy nature!"

"They were blinded by a false treasure!"

"madness."

Chiba coldly uttered two words.

"How many member states have been financially ruined by the annual incursions from the heavens?"

"Those non-member states that cannot pay the Heavenly Gold have no right to live; their civilians can only become slaves or pirates."

"Is this what you call overall stability?"

"Using the blood and flesh of ordinary people all over the world to feed those Celestial Dragons who are worse than pigs and dogs!"

Speaking of it.

Chiba's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"They used living people as mounts and arbitrarily robbed the wives and daughters of ordinary people."

"On a whim, they can hold games of destroying countries and take pleasure in killing."

"Compared to those pirates who plunder for survival."

"Aren't these vampires, cloaked in the guise of the creator, the greatest evil in this world?"

Chiba's repeated questions struck Akainu's heart like heavy hammer blows.

The air inside the hall seemed to freeze.

Akainu's facial muscles twitched violently.

He opened his mouth, trying to refute.

"Those are the descendants of the Creator... The World Government has maintained order for eight hundred years..."

"Without them, the world would have been in chaos long ago!"

Akainu's voice grew weaker and weaker, even revealing a hint of insecurity and lack of confidence.

He was certainly aware of the Celestial Dragons' evil deeds.

He knows better than anyone else!

But he could only choose to turn a blind eye and use the "big picture" to numb himself.

"order?"

"To protect the Celestial Dragons' order?"

Chiba sneered repeatedly.

"You call yourselves the Navy, waving the banner of justice, but you're nothing more than watchdogs kept by the Celestial Dragons!"

"How dare a dog bite its own master?"

The purple light swirled in Chiba's eyes.

The Rinnegan with its six tomoe erupted with a terrifying mental pressure.

Akainu felt a buzzing in his brain.

His bones creaked and groaned under this oppressive force.

"True justice should be based on protecting the survival of ordinary people!"

"They can't even protect ordinary people, and they can't even stand by and watch them be trampled on by the powerful and wealthy."

"You navy people who live off civilian taxes, what right do you have to talk about justice?!"

Chiba's words were like a sharp knife, completely tearing through Akainu's hypocritical protective shield.

Akainu's pupils trembled violently.

Deep in my memory.

The images he had forcibly sealed away began to surface wildly.

The raging fire of Ohara.

The desperate cries of innocent civilians echoed from the refugee ship.

The indelible stain of blood remained when he personally issued the order to fire.

In order to eliminate a few scholars, he sacrificed an entire ship full of civilians.

Is this the justice he upholds?

If so, then why is he always awakened by that firelight in the middle of the night?

"Stop talking..."

"Sacrifice is necessary for the sake of absolute justice..."

Akainu closed his eyes in pain, muttering to himself as if trying to hypnotize himself.

Seeing his distraught state...

A hint of mockery flashed in Chiba's eyes.

"Sakazuki".

"You don't even have the courage to face your own heart."

"Your justice is nothing but a rotten fig leaf."

Chiba turned around and walked back to the high throne.

He was too lazy to watch this brainwashed war machine anymore.

"Kakashi."

"Take him away."

"Lock him in the lowest dungeon and lock away all his senses."

"Let him reflect on what justice truly is in the endless darkness."

"..."
