Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 571 Annihilation

Mary Geoise.

Just as Kaguya Otsutsuki was leading Big Mom and Kaido of the Beasts in a massacre of Mary Geoise, the Four Red Sun Formation used to seal off Mary Geoise suddenly shattered.

A tall, slender figure vanished in a flash.

Even if someone noticed the person's figure, they didn't have time to give chase, because the figure seemed to be extremely good at hiding.

However, the allied forces did not pay much attention to it.

Because their mission was simply to destroy this holy site and wipe out the Celestial Dragons from this world, under the destruction of the two Yonko, the buildings of Mary Geoise were reduced to ruins, and the number of Celestial Dragon corpses gradually increased...

Kaguya Otsutsuki stood in the air, looking down at the situation on the ground. She frowned slightly and then turned her head to look at the place where the figure had fled.

The figure fled very quickly!

In the blink of an eye, they will escape from Princess Kaguya's sight!

"Did someone else escape?"

Princess Kaguya slowly shook her head, muttering to herself, "So, there's actually someone who can evade Hagoromo's predictions?"

"Black Hole - Annihilation!"

Just as Princess Kaguya was about to fly off to give chase, a voice came from high above, and a pitch-black hole suddenly opened in the sky!

A burst of ethereal power suddenly erupted from the black hole, and that black light struck the Red Earth Continent in an instant!

Above that black light…

A terrifying aura emanated from it!

Everyone was somewhat afraid of the black light that descended from the sky!

Even Big Mom, Kaido of the Beasts, and Kaguya Otsutsuki could faintly sense the terrifying power emanating from that black light shooting out of the black hole!

The power within that black light…

They could be killed easily!

next moment…

That black light suddenly pierced through the Red Earth Continent!

In everyone's sight, everything that the black light touched was completely annihilated, whether it was mountain rocks, boulders, flowers, trees, or plants. Under the attack of that black light, they all turned into nothingness!

This is the power of annihilation!

The shadowy figure that had already escaped Mary Geoise looked up in terror as the black light descended!

This is true divine punishment!

The black light suddenly and completely annihilated the person who had escaped Mary Geoise!

After the enemy was defeated, the black light gradually began to dissipate.

The area it ravaged had become a vacuum. A leaf drifted into that area and floated up and down as if it had lost gravity…

BIG MOM's nose twitched slightly, and her body trembled slightly: "That power... what exactly is it?"

That's way too dangerous!

There is such power in this world!

Even though BIG MOM was born with a strong body, he didn't think he could withstand that annihilating power!

Just as the group was still in shock, accompanied by an overwhelming and domineering aura that made everyone afraid to move, a faint and ethereal voice slowly descended.

The young man's voice, like a divine whisper, reached everyone's ears: "Resolve the trouble here immediately and meet us in Marineford."

After he finished speaking, that immense aura dissipated like a tide.

It was as if this person appeared here solely to deal with the person attempting to escape from Mary Geoise, or perhaps he left without even showing himself...

With his departure, everyone was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Just how strong does Uehara have to become?!"

Outside Mary Geoise, Madara Uchiha's face was filled with fighting spirit.

He originally thought he had become powerful enough on this sea, but he found that Uehara Naraku seemed to have become even more terrifying!

It's truly unbelievable...

What is the limit of that kind of person's potential?

"Alright, Madara, let's go and meet up with Lady Kaguya first!"

Hashirama Senju stood to the side and patted Madara Uchiha on the shoulder.

With the barrier broken, the group of people who were originally responsible for maintaining it reunited. Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, and Naruto Uzumaki headed to the city, while the Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage went to the Allied Forces.

After Princess Kaguya and Big Mom ravaged Mary Geoise, the remaining task of searching for the Celestial Dragons hiding underground was all handed over to the Allied Forces.

When Kaguya Otsutsuki, along with Big Mom and Kaido of the Beasts, headed towards Pangaea Castle, Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, and Naruto Uzumaki also followed.

Pangu City.

The Five Elders were hiding here, watching all of this unfold.

They haven't made a move yet.

Even though they all saw the black light of annihilation appear in the sky and heard a whisper like that of a god.

But they remained seated, waiting for someone's command.

Deep within the flowers of Mary Geoise resides a supreme being, for only that being can activate the Celestial Dragons' national treasure to resolve Mary Geoise's crisis.

Inside the city…

Two of the Four Emperors!

And someone even more powerful than the Four Emperors!

Outside Mary Geoise stood an allied army of over 100,000!

However, even now, no orders have come from the flower-filled depths of Mary Geoise, as if the city of Mary Geoise is completely indifferent to everything that is happening in Mary Geoise.

"Kong has already sacrificed himself."

One of the old men couldn't help but frown and say, "Isn't it a bit of a waste to just let them slaughter these expendable resources like this..."

Because the lives of the Celestial Dragons are used to activate their national treasures, each Celestial Dragon is essentially a consumable that can use the national treasures.

"Let us await Lord Im's orders!"

Another old man shook his head and whispered, "Perhaps Lord Im is considering whether to use that national treasure, but he's probably worried about the potential harm... After all, we all felt that terrifying power just now..."

"Are we just going to let them run rampant like this?"

One of the old men, who was holding a knife, shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I'd rather go out and take a look, and try to save as many people as possible..."

"Do you think you can kill them?"

"Keep sitting here."

"Let us await Lord Im's orders!"

"We have already informed Lord Im's maid of this matter, and the results should be forthcoming soon. No one can defeat Lord Im and that national treasure..."

Just as the Five Elders were still waiting, a maid rushed into their room in a panic, her face full of terror: "Five Elders, something has happened in the Flower Room! Lord Im... Lord Im... is missing!"

"What?!"

"Are you kidding me!"

A group of elderly people looked on in astonishment.

The next moment, the group of old men's gazes suddenly changed, as if they had thought of something. They hurriedly followed the maid into the depths of the flower garden, only to find it empty...

just now…

Who can tell them what to do?

The Five Elders have always acted according to Im's orders because they know Im's commands are infallible. Now they think their trusted advisor has escaped...

A hint of fear crept into everyone's expressions!

It was precisely because of Im's trump card that the Five Elders did not act rashly. They believed that Lord Im would easily resolve this war.

Unexpectedly...

What happened to Lord Im?!

One of the old men's faces instantly turned grim: "Could it be... that Lord Im also has no way to deal with this turn of events?"

"perhaps…"

Another old man looked up, his face grim. Suddenly, something dawned on him: "Perhaps Lord Im has already left. Could the energy released from that black hole we just saw... have killed Lord Im?"

"I don't have time to pay attention to these things now..."

An old man reached out and drew a sword from among the flowers, saying in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, what we should be considering now is how to repel the enemy..."

"Why haven't the naval reinforcements arrived yet...?"

"Perhaps they're already overwhelmed with requests!"

"If Kabuto Yakushi betrays us, he might not allow the Navy to send troops..."

"Couldn't the Warring States period have dealt with Yakushi Kabuto, who had usurped power?"

"It's impossible to expect reinforcements now, and Lord Im has also disappeared... Gentlemen, we may truly have to fight to the death for the World Government we've always upheld!"

Just as the Five Elders were discussing their next move, everyone felt a wave of darkness and involuntarily looked up.

A shadow gradually appeared on the glass above the flowers.

The next moment, a huge slash cleaved the entire flower room in two, and even shattered the World Government's Sky Throne. Each of the Five Elders was exceptionally agile and dodged the slash!

"Hahahaha... The Five Elders..."

BIG MOM slowly appeared, her laughter as piercing as thunder: "Hahahaha... What are you all doing here?"

As Big Mom appeared, Kaido of the Beasts also appeared beside her, and Naruto Uzumaki, the reanimated Madara Uchiha, and Hashirama Senju appeared in a flash.

Five people…

It corresponds to the Five Elders.

The Akatsuki organization placed the utmost importance on the five leaders of the World Government, as each of these five individuals was capable of standing at the pinnacle of the world!

"That makes it five against five..."

Madara Uchiha clenched his fist, sized up the Five Elders before him, and grinned, chuckling, "Honestly, any one of us could have handled this!"

"Don't let your guard down, Madara!"

Hashirama Senju shook his head, his expression grave as he gazed at the Five Elders: "These people aren't so easy to deal with..."

"The First Generation Lord was right..."

Naruto Uzumaki slowly nodded, then shook his head and said, "But let's deal with this trouble as soon as possible and head to Marineford immediately..."

because…

Uchiha Sasuke is in Marineford!

Just like Madara Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki once thought that he and Sasuke had become strong enough on this sea, but he once again felt the terror of Naraku Uehara, and that feeling of helplessness he once had surged back into his heart...

I hope that Sasuke guy…

Don't do anything foolish!

The Akatsuki members were carrying out their final tasks. Five members, whose strength rivaled that of the Four Emperors, faced the Five Elders of the World Government, while the other members continued their hunt for the Celestial Dragons.

The Celestial Dragons' dying screams and wails echoed throughout Mary Geoise.

A group of Celestial Dragons who had survived hiding underground trembled, clutching their Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and trying to call for Navy support, hoping that the Admirals they could usually summon with a single phone call would appear.

Finally, one Celestial Dragon could no longer bear it. He left his basement, stood in the street, waved his arms, and shouted, "Not all Celestial Dragons are born with sins; many aren't even on the list..."

Bang!

A gunshot rang out from the street!

"Hmph, trash, stop talking nonsense!"

Plague Quinn grinned, put away his gun, slowly exhaled a huge smoke ring from his pipe, and chuckled as he ordered, "Men, hurry up! We have a grand event waiting for us!"

"Lord Quinn's marksmanship is so cool!"

"As expected of Lord Quinn, his marksmanship is just as captivating as his dance!"

A group of pirates cheered and waved their arms, while a group of ninjas glanced at the group of idiot pirates with disdain and continued to carry out their mission.

Jin the Wildfire glanced at his companion with a somewhat unsettling expression, and ordered in a deep voice, "Quinn, stop fooling around. Hurry up and pack up. If we waste time, even if we're official members of Akatsuki, we won't get away with it!"

"knew!"

Queen the Plague glared at King the Wildfire with displeasure, muttering, "You were ordering me around before I joined Akatsuki, and you're still ordering me around after I joined..."

Compared to the Beasts Pirates...

The Big Mom Pirates and the Allied Shinobi Forces were clearly much more civilized.

Katakuri, relying on his powerful Observation Haki, slowly searched the ground beneath each house, looking for the Celestial Dragons who were hiding...

As for the Allied Shinobi Forces, in addition to relying on the Byakugan and sensory ninjutsu, some ninjas first used explosive tags to blow up the entire house into ruins, and then used earth-style ninjutsu to bring out the Celestial Dragons hiding in the underground safe room...

The allied forces of over 100,000 men quickly rounded up all the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise.

As time went by, the city was soon left with only the Five Elders, who were still fighting against Madara Uchiha and others.

The 100,000-strong allied army did not stay in Mary Geoise for long before withdrawing from the city, which had been reduced to ruins. They then boarded warships in Mary Geoise port and headed to the naval headquarters, Marineford.

There...

This is the final battle for Akatsuki to rule the world!

This once sacred site was merely a minor episode in the war.

In addition to the 100,000-strong Allied Forces leaving the Holy Land, there were also some former World Government officials and garrison troops who set off on warships with the Allied Forces. However, these people would be temporarily stationed on Enies Lobby according to their superiors' orders.

Marineford.

The last Den Den Mushi message received at the Marine Headquarters base, originating from Mary Geoise, was about the Akatsuki organization's purge of the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles.

however…

The navy, however, did not provide any response.

Sengoku, the Buddha, could only send Vice Admiral Tsuru via Den Den Mushi to Sabaody Archipelago, the closest island to Mary Geoise, ordering Vice Admiral Uehara Naraku, stationed there, to attempt to reach Mary Geoise to support and rescue World Government officials and World Nobles…

Aside from that, there was nothing more that could be done during the Warring States period.

To be honest, Sengoku was somewhat relieved. Fortunately, he had previously sent Uehara Nara to the Sabaody Archipelago because he felt she lacked ability...

It now seems that the Sabaody Archipelago branch has become the World Government's last savior, even if Uehara Naraku may not be able to do much...

However...

Having a glimmer of hope is better than facing only despair.
