Asuma laughed awkwardly: "Shikamaru, I really appreciate you along the way!"

Shikamaru sighed, "Then I'll treat you when we get to our destination."

Asuma agreed immediately.

Not far away, Sakura and Ino sat side by side on the edge of the boat, their legs dangling in the air. Ino's blonde hair fluttered in the sea breeze. She nudged Sakura's arm and said, "Hey, is the medical team still busy?"

Sakura was lost in thought, staring at the sky. She came back to her senses after hearing this: "Ah...it's okay. There are just a few people who are seasick who need to be taken care of. But I'll give them some relief medication and they'll be fine."

"How's Sasuke?"

"He's on Whitebeard's ship now. He received a letter saying that he will be heading to Wano Country with Whitebeard's fleet in the near future. We should be able to see each other soon."

Sakura gave him a dangerous look: "Ino, I've already told you. In the future, Sasuke and I will be married. You don't want to ruin such a good match, do you?"

"I know, I know, you've said it a dozen times!"

Ino first glanced at the boys' team, making sure they weren't looking this way, then whispered, "I recently met a handsome guy..."

"what?"

The sound of waves crashing against the boat drowned out their whispers.

……

Wano Country, Hokage's office.

The afternoon sun slanted through the windowsill, giving the piles of documents a soft golden edge.

Namikaze Minato raised his head from the pile of documents, his blond hair slightly messy, his eyes a little tired, and asked, "Konan, is Yahiko and his fleet coming soon?"

Minato put down his pen and stretched his stiff wrist.

"Well, we are expected to arrive at the port in the evening." Secretary Xiaonan closed the scroll in his hand. His voice was calm, but he could not hide the expectation in his eyes.

Minato rubbed his temples gently, smiling warmly, "Thank you for your hard work during this period. Once we have settled these immigrants, I will give you two days off."

That’s great, Xiaonan naturally won’t refuse.

"It just so happens that I bought a small building in Wano Country and need time to decorate it."

Minato was stunned and said, "Huh? Buying a house?"

The castle tower that Kurozumi Orochi had previously occupied was quite large. Such a large and luxurious castle within a city was more than enough to temporarily house the ninjas of Konoha.

However, as the situation stabilizes, everyone in Konoha will definitely purchase properties in the new map.

Konan explained, "I plan to continue living with Yahiko Nagato and the others."

"I see." Minato nodded in understanding. "Then I'll give you a gift when you move into your new house."

"Well, thank you. Minato."

Minato signed another document and handed it to Konan: "The World Government has put forward conditions. Their conditions are to hand over a certain amount of Seastone as [Heavenly Gold] on time, and then I need to meet with the Five Elders. This document will be passed to the Third Hokage to ask for his opinion."

"Okay." Konan took the file and left. She couldn't help but look back at Minato, who was immersed in his work again.

I thought, let's make the Hokage suffer first.

Xiaonan closed the door gently, and cherry blossoms drifted in from the corridor. Her thoughts drifted away.

The Frog Squad reunited, it was a dreamlike scene.

After Konan left, Minato continued working for another hour and decided to take a short break.

He walked to the window and looked out at the completed new Hokage Rock in the distance.

The rebuilt Flower Capital looks brand new, with cherry blossoms fluttering on both sides of the streets, and wooden buildings and green-tiled roofs glowing with a warm luster in the morning light.

Outside the main gate of the Flower City, a broad stone path stretched straight ahead. The bases of nine giant statues were already taking shape, with stonemasons hammering away at them.

"Building Tailed Beast Rock like the Hokage Rock is a great idea, isn't it, Kyuubi?"

In the spiritual world, Yin Jiuwei was not as kind, intelligent, or powerful as Yang Jiuwei. It maintained the appearance of a giant, vicious fox, with a gloomy face: "Only immature people would like this."

"Haha, don't say that about yourself. After get off work, how about I take you out for a drink? You can also come out like Yang Jiuwei climbed on Naruto's shoulder?"

"Humph, I'm not interested."

Chapter 195 The Young Savior

The mysterious subspace.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was taking a break from his busy schedule, listening to a novel and reviewing documents.

Suddenly the small group flashed wildly.

Yuichi: Oh my! This world is so intense, I can't beat them! How can I, a martial artist, compete with the laser cannon players in this area?

Ace: The unknown swordsman who goes by the alias Sasaki Kojiro can show off with three slashes in an instant, so you can kill them all with thousands of slashes in an instant.

Yunyi: That would require a chance to get close. I can't sneak. I was hit to death by the oxcart guy just after landing!

Ace: Huh? The Fourth World War?

Yuichi: Yeah, I was also surprised that Matou Sakura is a little girl. But you do occasionally encounter little kids in Werewolf.

Ace: Oh, I see. You're a stowaway hero, not among the seven.

Yuichi: Oh, the little kid was so upset when she saw me get hit and killed that she cried. It felt like the sky was falling on her. Do you have time to send someone to play for me? That Heroic Spirit form is too restrictive. I'm already dead, and there's not much I can do in spirit form.

Ace: You know the situation on both sides. It's not certain we can spare the time. Sun, where are your crew members?

Yuichiro: Aside from Sukuna, everyone else's usernames are still hidden. That's unreliable. It seems like there aren't many people like the three of us who use their real names online.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: Minato just sent a message saying that the Five Elders are looking for him to negotiate?

Ace: Normal. The World Government has been unable to do anything about Wano's feng shui treasures. Seastone is incredibly important. My fleet is currently en route to Wano. Yamato wants to see the new Wano.

Yunyi: The little sister is so pitiful.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: Don't panic, I'll send people to fight!

Ace: You can't even protect yourself, and you're still going on a mission?

Sarutobi Hiruzen: We are brothers in our hearts!

Yuichiro: Don’t be so stubborn, Sandaime.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: Uchiha Madara has surrendered too! Now I have Hashirama Senju on my left and Uchiha Madara on my right, and we have a full complement of troops. If it weren't for the fact that Boss Za was so unbearable... would I have avoided the Burning Legion's edge?

Ace: Don't brag, don't brag. Just immigrate here honestly. The Burning Legion is endlessly attacking small enemies and bringing in big ones. +2/+2 every turn! The more you fight, the stronger you get! Sooner or later, you'll be slammed into the planet by Satan's sword.

This Ace seems to be playing Hearthstone recently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: Once I complete my immigration plan, I'll help you fight! Let Yoriichi have a good time playing the role of a young savior!

……

Consciousness returns to reality.

Konoha Hokage's Office.

It was late at night.

The lava monkey on the desk was snoring, with bubbles of snot coming out of his nose along with his snoring.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched, stood up from his office chair, walked to the window, and looked at the Hokage Rock in the distance under the spotlight.

"World Government..."

After much thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen wrote down his comments on Minato's document.

"The focus of this negotiation is to ensure that the shipping routes remain open. During the period of relocation, we will do our best to maintain good relations with the World Government. We will agree to any amount of Seastone and Celestial Gold they request of us annually."

"Agree to everything you can't do, and deny everything you can do."

"The Celestial Dragons are nothing but dead bones in a grave. Sooner or later, we will have a battle with them!"

Just consider it as repaying the Whitebeard Pirates' kindness in taking them in. Before they counterattack the ninja world, they have to help them eliminate the Celestial Dragons.

……

"I can't tell whether you are friendship or missed love"

Atop the Moby Dick's mast, Ace sat cross-legged, his orange cowboy hat tilted to one side, his fingers strumming his guitar as bonfire-like flames danced around him. He gazed at the starry sky and hummed an adapted tune.

Drunken pirates lay scattered across the deck, and wine barrels were everywhere. It was obvious that this was the end of a party.

Marco rolled his eyes and sighed, "Here we go again, it's always the same song."

"Hahaha! Ace! Cheers!" Kaido's daughter Yamato raised a wine bowl bigger than her head, staggered towards the mast and waved it, grinning foolishly with drunken eyes, "Sing it again!"

Ace looked down at the drunk, the firelight illuminating his helpless smile: "Okay, but you have to put down the bowl first--"

Clap!

The wine bowl shattered, and Yamato fell face-first onto the ground, fast asleep.

Marco raised his eyelids and glanced at the shadows: "How come you haven't gotten used to our atmosphere after being here for so long?"

Over there, Uchiha Sasuke, dressed in white, stood with his arms folded, his Sharingan glowing slightly red in the shadows, and replied, "Three Forbidden Ninjas."

Marco swung over with the wine barrel, the bottom of the barrel making a dull sound on the deck: "Come on, Uchiha Itachi really likes our wine."

He leaned against the side of the boat, the smell of alcohol drifting with the sea breeze.

Sasuke didn't answer.

"That's really awkward." Marco pushed the barrel toward Sasuke's feet. "Are you planning on staying in Wano Country this time?"

The sea breeze grew stronger, ruffling Sasuke's hair. He looked beyond the waves to the dark sea in the distance.

Sasuke was silent for a moment before answering, "No. Just meet Naruto and the others."

The guitar music on the mast suddenly stopped. Ace, hanging upside down on the cable, laughed and said, "That won't do. Sasuke, you should go back!"

Sasuke frowned, "Why, has my strength threatened your position as captain? Vista is no match for me anymore, and I think you will be too."

Ace and Marco looked at each other and laughed exaggeratedly.

"Hahahaha, Sasuke is quite humorous!"

"Itachi's words weren't as interesting as yours back then!"

Sasuke snorted, "If you don't explain clearly, I'm going to go find Dad."

Ace stopped laughing and explained casually: "Your study abroad period has expired. You and Naruto can only show your full strength together, so-"

"Wind and Cloud combine to form Mahamudra!"

"What is this all about?"

Marco smiled and continued, "Go back. Don't be so stubborn. The expectation in your eyes betrays you."

"Hmph. We've only been together for a while, don't act like you know me so well."

Sasuke didn't want to say anything more, so he turned and walked into the cabin.

Marco looked at Sasuke's receding figure and said with interest, "I'm looking forward to when Itachi will come."

Ace picked up the drunk Yamato and laughed, "It should be soon. Then we'll treat Itachi to a drink."

"You keep calling him that. It's a bit exaggerated."

"Haha, you don't understand. Besides, it's a life-saving favor after all, so it's not a big deal to blow it."

……

When the Moby Dick entered the inner waters of Wano Country, the sky in the distance was covered by shadows.

"Is this Konoha's ship? It's quite impressive!"

Marco put his hand on his forehead and looked at the aerospace carrier slowly moving in the sky in the distance, and the dozen or so Black Hawk helicopters circling around it.

Ace's mouth twitched: "Konoha's style is getting closer to a certain New York institution."

Sasuke frowned because the spaceship in the sky was sprayed with the words "Akatsuki" organization.

Ace casually explained, "The three leaders of Akatsuki were all Jiraiya's disciples. It's not surprising that they defected to Konoha."

Sasuke was stunned: Is Jiraiya so proud? Orochimaru is just an ordinary member of Akatsuki. He is really low.

The port of Wano Country further away.

Dozens of large iron ships, converted from naval vessels, were slowly entering the harbor. The naval markings on their hulls had long been painted over, and the new Konoha emblem gleamed in the sunlight.
