Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

"That is..."

"Oh my god!! The moon...the moon has turned red!"

"How...how could this happen?"

"..."

Inside Konoha Village, all the survivors looked up at the sky, utterly stunned by the blood moon hanging in the night sky!

"Wait...look, something seems to be popping up?"

A Hyuga clan ninja couldn't help but gasp in surprise after activating his Byakugan and gazing at the blood moon.

Nearby, everyone stared intently at the blood moon.

In the center of the scarlet full moon, a silvery-white spot of light appeared.

At first, the light spot was very small, and it seemed to be about to collapse under the blood-red light.

But the next moment, the silvery-white light suddenly expanded and shone brightly!

The world seemed to have suddenly changed color.

It was nearly midnight, but at that moment it seemed as if a dazzling sun was hanging in the sky.

"..."

People were stunned!

They all stared blankly at the sky, their gasps of surprise suppressed deep within their hearts!

If the crimson moon just now gave people a sense of eeriness and impending doom, then the silver moon now makes people feel involuntarily holy and lofty, like a god freely radiating his majesty.

……

Hashirama Senju looked up at the silvery moon, his expression grave.

"What... is going on?"

"What's wrong with the moon? Or... are there people up there?"

Just then.

Just a meter in front of Mifune, who was also in a daze, ripples suddenly appeared in the space, and a vortex emerged.

Then, a pale arm reached out and suddenly pulled Mifune in.

Immediately afterwards, the vortex disappeared.

The next second, he reappeared beside Kakuzu and the others.

"Hey~ Long time no see, wanna go to the poop together?"

Bai Yi greeted them with a strange laugh.

Then, to the astonishment of Kakuzu and the others, they were all pulled into the Kamui dimension!

Not far away.

Sensing that the pursuing enemy's aura had disappeared, Hashirama Senju instantly turned his head to look, only to see a pale and eerie figure gradually disappearing, and he was immediately filled with frustration.

……

the other side.

The Land of Waves, the coast.

Yakushi Nonou gazed calmly at the silvery moon in the sky, then took a Den Den Mushi from the book she was holding.

"Master Shennong, Master Beiliuhu, it's time to act."

A voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Ah, I see, we saw it too."

"Let's begin then."

"beep--"

The Den Den Mushi immediately hung up.

Yakushi Nonou took out the control switch that Suzuki had given her from the book and slowly pressed it.

Wow~

In an instant, the sea parted.

Deep in the ocean, the previously dim pupils of metal robots lit up, and then they emerged from the sea in neat rows.

A moment later, the sea closed up.

The seawater suddenly surged back, and the waves swept across thousands of miles!

at the same time.

Behind Yakushi Nonou.

The Ark Maxim and Angkor Fortress suddenly rose into the air!

Under the silvery moonlight, two space warships streaked across the sky like meteors, heading straight for the clouds.

below.

Three hundred and sixty thousand tall and heavy metal robots marched in unison, moving step by step towards the Land of Wind.

The sound was deafening, and the ground trembled violently!

The country of waves.

"..."

Countless people stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, at the coastline.

……

……

Sometime in the depths of the earth.

Two dazzling pale blue streaks of light shot out from the ground, heading straight for the sky, and then plunged headlong into the silvery moon!

In the sky, the full moon changed again.

As if sensing a threat, the faint crimson light suddenly began to exert its power.

As the blood-red light shone, a terrifying pressure instantly swept across the land, and the heavy atmosphere made people panic.

"How...how scary!"

"Is...is the world going to end?"

Why do I feel like my chakra is out of control?

"..."

The two beams of light fought fiercely, locked in a stalemate.

A moment later, the moon strangely turned into a state where it was half silvery-white and half scarlet.

"..."

People were stunned by this gruesome scene.

This strange celestial phenomenon has never been seen before, not even in the past thousand years.

At this moment, the entire ninja world fell silent!

a long time.

A bird's chirp broke the silence.

"Coo coo coo~"

White newsbirds, resembling peace doves, took flight from forests throughout the ninja world.

...Land of Waves...Land of Grass...Land of Wind...Land of Thunder...Land of Earth...Land of Water...Land of Fire...

As the newsbirds flew, newspapers rained down.

Konoha Village.

White birds flew across the sky, chirping.

Minato Namikaze snapped back to his senses, his figure vanished suddenly, and when he reappeared, he was holding a newspaper in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru and other high-ranking members of Konoha, as well as the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, the Fourth Raikage A, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and many other leaders of outlying villages, quickly gathered around.

[A Message to the Entire Ninja World]

Some say the ninja world news reports a grand conspiracy, and that the world's revival is a shocking lie... To this, we hereby declare—what they say is true!

We do have a conspiracy, and the claim of a world recovery is indeed a hoax.

[More than a decade ago, a deity named "The Observer" descended!]

Under His guidance, we have successfully completed the modification and cloning research of many mutated creatures, including the Fast Duck, Sea King, and Armed Baboon, and deployed them throughout the ninja world!

Meanwhile, the well-known Ninja World News was also established at this time, and subsequently fabricated the story of the world's revival...

【…】

[This is where the secret treasure originated!]

Our purpose is clear: you are all seedlings!

[These secret treasures have been scattered throughout the ninja world, just so we can one day reap the rewards upon you. Yes, all those who have consumed these treasures, including all ninjas with chakra, are our targets—not a single one will be spared!]

Therefore, the Ninja World News hereby declares war on all ninjas, ability users, summoning beasts...!

Location: The Great Desert of the Land of Wind!

【Gentlemen, we hereby declare: The Fourth Shinobi World War has officially begun!】

[— Signed: Ark Maxim Base (with photos of all members)]

"..."

After reading the newspaper, even the usually calm and collected Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was trembling uncontrollably.

"..."

The group exchanged horrified glances.

They never expected that the Ninja World News would act so unpredictably, openly exposing everything they had done and even so arrogantly declaring war on the Ninja World!

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, was so angry that he puffed out his beard, glared, and gritted his teeth.

"They've gone mad... madness!"

"The Ninja World News is absolutely insane!"

"How dare it? It actually declared war on everyone! Does it have a death wish?!" (End of Chapter)
