Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 120 Ninja World News Report: "A World on the Verge of Recovery!"

After enjoying it for a while, Suzuki quickly regained his composure.

He threw his clone back into the pirate world and then began sorting through the items it had brought back.

Ever since he devised the plan to seize Devil Fruits a long time ago, his clone has been hunting down Devil Fruit users all over the Grand Line.

Each time he returned, he brought back some Devil Fruits, some more, some less.

The thirteenth return brought back twenty-one Devil Fruits.

The fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth returns brought back fifteen, eleven, and ten Devil Fruits respectively.

All of this is so that once fruit cloning technology is obtained in the future, there will be samples that can be cloned.

This seventeenth return saw the clone bring back thirteen Devil Fruits.

Ten of them are ordinary Zoan-type, two are Paramecia-type, and one is an ancient Zoan-type!

Although the total number is somewhat small, managing to seize thirteen despite the Navy's pursuit and the escape of the ability users is already quite good.

Moreover, one of them is a very excellent Devil Fruit.

Suzuki picked up the unusual fruit and examined it for a moment, a smile appearing in his eyes.

This is the fruit of an ancient Zoan-type Triceratops!

In the world of One Piece, there are three main types of Zoan-type characters: the most common Zoan type, the ancient Zoan type from ancient times, and the mythical Zoan type from mythology.

Just as Suzuki had finished putting away all the Devil Fruits, his Den Den Mushi rang.

"Beep beep beep beep—"

Suzuki narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what important matter this female secretary had that would warrant calling him so late at night.

He took out his Den Den Mushi, answered the call, and said calmly:

"Nonou, is there anything important?"

"Good evening, Suzuki-kun. I'm sorry to disturb your rest!"

After greeting him, the pharmacist Nono U quickly began her report.

"Yes, there are a few things that require your decision."

"Regarding the matter of potential spies in the Land of Waves that you previously instructed us to report, Miyajo En recently arrested a number of spies and intelligence personnel from other countries."

"Some of them are probably of high importance and sensitive status, and I think I need to report to you to see how to handle them."

Inside the bedroom, Suzuki sat on the bed and said calmly:

"Please continue."

"yes!"

"Suzuki-kun, we have captured a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from Kirigakure. His name is Juzo Biwa, and he is the current owner of the broken sword, Kubikiribōchō."

"There is also the son of the Tsuchikage from Iwagakure, the Jonin of Iwagakure - Kotsuchi."

"Finally, there is Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the son of the Third Hokage of Konoha."

"These three are quite extraordinary in terms of strength and status. After capturing them, Miyajo En dared not deal with them on his own, so he notified me and hoped that I could report to you."

"...."

Suzuki was speechless at Miyajo En's cautiousness.

Even though he and Yakushi Nonou were both Level 1 members of the base and both had Den Den Mushi (snail phone) to contact them.

However, the patriarch of the Blood Pond Clan didn't seem to dare to bother him. He even had to have Yakushi Nonou relay this message. How slick!

Of course, it's also possible that I scared him when we went to the King's Palace of Waves together last time.

but.……

"It seems quite a few people are interested in our Ninja World News," Suzuki said slowly.

"Konoha, Iwagakure, Kirigakure... what about Kumogakure and Sunagakure? Have you captured any of them, Nonou?"

The Den Den Mushi immediately rang with Yakushi Nonou's reply: "Yes, Suzuki-kun."

"We have also captured ninjas from Kumogakure and Sunagakure, and even some ninjas from small countries and villages."

"However, the ninjas they sent were quite ordinary in both strength and background."

Suzuki nodded; it was only natural that these ninja villages were interested in the Ninja World News.

He then pondered for a moment how to deal with the three people Nono had mentioned.

Soon, Suzuki gave the order to Yakushi Nonou, who was waiting for a reply:

"I see, Nono."

"You can send Pipa Juzo back to Konoha Village, and I'll throw him into Shimura Danzo's research base."

"The same goes for loess."

"As for Sarutobi Shinnosuke..."

This is the eldest son of the Third Hokage, and also the current leader of the Konoha Anbu. Such a status is prestigious no matter where you are.

A hint of a smile played in Suzuki's eyes as he spoke to the Den Den Mushi in his hand:

"Nonou, as for Sarutobi Shinnosuke, send him to the Land of Lightning."

"Remember to leave some vague information when you send it, something that points to the Sand Village."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, but soon Yakushi Nonou's clear and melodious voice rang out again.

"Okay, Suzuki-kun!"

"There's one more thing!"

"It's the meteorite that you instructed Kakuzu to bring back to Hoshigakure in the Land of Bears. He has successfully completed it and is about to return to the base."

Upon hearing that the meteorite had been successfully brought back, a smile appeared on Suzuki's face.

Whether it was the plan to cultivate the divine tree or everything that followed, this meteorite was a very important cornerstone.

"Great! Very good!"

"Mr. Kakuzu is quite reliable!"

"Alright, Nonou, once Kakuzu returns, hand over the position of chief financial officer directly to him. Also, tell him the warehouse password."

"From now on, Kakuzu will be in charge of distributing all mission bonuses at the base."

The pharmacist Nonou on the other end of the Den Den Mushi immediately replied, "Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Suzuki gave the female secretary another instruction:

"If it's a meteorite, remember to give it to the researchers as soon as possible."

"Tell them that it is part of some kind of organism, and let them find a way to activate it or use the fragment to cultivate a juvenile form."

"Okay, Suzuki-kun!"

"I'll go and inform the researchers right away!"

"Um."

Suzuki nodded in satisfaction, and just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly remembered the situation when he and his clone gradually found it difficult to improve their strength during their previous return.

Suzuki frowned and thought for a moment, then finally instructed Yakushi Nonou:

"Nonou, how are Shennong and Hiruko doing lately?"

"Suzuki-kun, those two have become friends now, but don't worry, they're still completing their research work every day."

"Hmm, Nonou, have them study the physical body, or rather, study how ordinary genin can quickly and safely improve their strength."

"Ideally, it should show significant results within three months!"

"Tell Shennong and Beiliuhu that once this research is completed..."

"If they can double the strength of a genin in three months, I will reward them with a Devil Fruit."

"If they can double their improvement, then I'll reward them with three Devil Fruits!"

"If I can turn a genin into a special jonin in three months, I will reward them with a fruit so powerful that eating it will make them comparable to the Five Kage!"

"By the way, remember, it must be safe and constant. It can't be like taking medication or having a temporary flare-up."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, then Yakushi Nonou's voice came through again:

"Yes, Suzuki-kun, I've noted down everything you asked!"

"When I go to the lab later, I will also inform Shennong and Beiliuhu about this."

Suzuki smiled gently and said, "Okay, that's all. Thank you for your hard work, Nono."

You're too kind~

"Beep beep beep beep..."

The Den Den Mushi was quickly disconnected.

Suzuki opened the drawer next to the bed and took out a bag of candy.

This was a gift that Little Robin had given him. The clone didn't eat it, and Suzuki kept it at home after bringing it back.

"The timeline in the One Piece world is now 1500 in the Sea Calendar, and the Ohara incident is about to happen."

"Historical text."

"Little Robin"

"Monkey D. Dragon, Vegapunk..."

Suzuki opened the bag with a serious expression, took out a candy, and put it in his mouth to taste it.

He leaned back on the bed, staring at the ceiling, savoring the sweet taste in his mouth, his eyes narrowing:

"World Government, huh?"

The room lights were quickly turned off, and the bedroom fell silent once more.

……

Not long after, the Ninja World News reported another sudden and sensational event that shook the entire ninja world, following the White Fang incident.

This report, like a boulder dropped into water, stirred up a huge wave in the ninja world in a very short time.

News headline: The world is on the verge of recovery!

"As we all know, a thousand years ago, the ninja world suffered an unprecedented catastrophe!"

"Even in the ninja world today, there are still some dubious rumors circulating about this matter, such as about the Sage of Six Paths, the Goddess of the Rabbit, and various other legendary beings."

"There should also be some scattered records in the ancient ninja clans and noble families."

"but!"

"We all know that new life always follows disaster!"

"Just as withered trees blossom in spring, just as yin and yang cycle!"

"Life is tenacious, and the world that sustains countless lives must be even more tenacious!"

"Our ninja world, once nearly wiped out, has finally begun its revival after a thousand years!"

"Recently, numerous mutated creatures have been appearing throughout the ninja world!"

"In the Land of Wind, there exists a giant duck that can grow to the height of an adult, large enough for someone to ride on its back. In the Land of Earth, a gigantic crab has appeared, large enough to build houses and inhabit!"

"A large number of highly intelligent baboons have appeared in the Land of Lightning. These baboons have imitated the ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village, not only learning to refine chakra but also performing hand seals to cast ninjutsu!"

"In the waters of the Land of Water, many giant marine creatures, some hundreds of meters long, have appeared!"

Happy National Day everyone!!!
