Chapter 570: Preparing in Advance
After returning to Konoha, life gradually returned to normal.
With news of Madara Uchiha’s crushing defeat spreading, the ninja world regained its vitality, and the long-term development plans resumed in an orderly fashion.
However, Minato found himself under immense pressure—especially since Tobirama would often drop by his office unannounced.
Sometimes, Tobirama would engage him in discussions about the future of the ninja world....

As the last remnants of lightning faded from the sky, Kawakaze landed gracefully atop the Great Buddha's head.
The massive Truth-Seeking Orb sword had returned to its normal size. With a casual flick of his wrist, he spun the blade in an elegant flourish, his demeanor calm and effortless.
Not a single speck of dust from the obliterated meteors landed on him.
"What do you think?"
"Did you see that clearly?"
A teasing smile played on Kawakaze's lips. The sheer powe...

"You think you've already won?"
"Kawakaze Hatake, you're underestimating me far too much."
"In that case... Chibaku Tensei."
Madara had never suffered such humiliation before. In the past, he was always the one putting on a display—never the other way around.
In the next instant, he leaped into the air, his entire body ascending rapidly.
With one hand raised, a dense, irregular black chakra sphere began to form in his palm.
The sphere expanded to the size...

"Chiyo, you've aged quite a bit."
"This child is skilled in the Puppet Technique. Is he your disciple?"
The Second Kazekage, Shamon, deftly controlled his puppet as he fought against Chiyo and her grandson. As the pioneer of the Puppet Technique, he immediately recognized Sasori's talent.
"Lord Second, this is my grandson, Sasori."
Chiyo had once been a trusted lieutenant under Shamon in her youth, and the two were well acquainted. Her tone remained calm, but her hands...

"Then should I be thanking you?"
Kawakaze let out a chilling laugh, quickly grasping Madara’s true intent.
He wanted to resurrect the Uchiha clan.
But the Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique required a life in exchange. There was no way Madara would sacrifice himself.
That left only one possibility—he planned to control someone else to cast it.
Looking at the situation, there was no doubt who the prime candidate was. Kawakaze, as the Rinnegan's ...

In the vast, endless desert, time seemed to crawl at an agonizingly slow pace.
It had only rained once, and since then, the sky had remained clear, the sun beating down relentlessly.
Before they knew it, Kawakaze and the others had spent two monotonous months waiting.
During this time, it was as if Madara had completely vanished from the ninja world. No one had managed to find a single trace of him.
As the days dragged on, frustration began to build. No one knew how mu...

“...Oh, oh... Our Black Madonna... Why would you...?”
As the Great Cave fell silent once more, Shiomi stopped reinforcing the barrier and steadied himself.
A frail, sorrowful voice pierced the stillness.
An elderly woman with sunken eyes led a group of villagers to the underground temple, arriving just in time to witness Aesc’s final battle with the sacred bird.
The brilliance and might of “Roadless Camelot” left no doubt—her identity was clear to the villa...

The sacred bird had just shown the sheer destructive power of its sand feathers.
The bombardment alone could rival anti-fortress Noble Phantasms—capable of leveling a castle or wiping out a mid-sized army.
The Great Cave had withstood the test of time for centuries, its structure validated countless times. Even with the occasional tremor or shifts in the mountain, the barrier’s constant maintenance ensured there was never any real risk of collapse.
But this time was diff...

“Gin, Cornelia, you're back?”
Just as Kurome finished dealing with Night Raid, Gin and Cornelia returned one after the other.
While Cornelia was finishing off Loki, Rock, who had been stabbed by Gin with Gáe Buidhe, died shortly after from blood loss—the wound wouldn't stop bleeding.
Haruki never had any doubt that the two of them could handle the agents sent from Revolutionary Army headquarters. He had trained them personally and believed that no one in this world co...

Given Ōnoki’s powerful tactical deterrence, Reiji ultimately chose to release the remaining Iwagakure forces—less than half their original number.
In his mind, Kitty’s petulant voice echoed.
“Reiji, you’ve changed!
Back when you were chasing me, you used to call me ‘Sweetie’~
Now I’m getting bullied by Big Nose, and you won’t even help me beat him up!”
Reiji couldn’t help but laugh and sigh, covering his forehead as he tried to reassure her...

Stussy knelt timidly on the cold marble floor, not daring to look up at the Five Elders.
At this moment, her palms were covered in cold sweat.
What kind of ability was that?
Just one glance, and Lone Wolf's head exploded like a watermelon hit by a hammer.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it... That such a terrifying, powerful, strange, and special ability existed in this sea!
Was it some kind of special Paramecia-type Devil Frui...

Half a day later...
A ship flying the World Government's flag sailed into the inland sea of the Red Line. After docking, its passengers switched to a carriage, entering Mary Geoise in secret.
Inside the smooth, rocking carriage, Lone Wolf wore a fawning smile, cautiously asking the silent Stussy seated across from him, "How are you feeling? If you need, the organization has excellent doctors. I can arrange a full checkup to make sure there are no lingering injuries."
Stussy,...

This was Gerard’s ability—The Miracle!
The power to reverse any negative event that befalls him, transforming it into a positive one.
“That thing is really tough,” Masatsuki Aozaki remarked.
Just moments ago, when Gerard’s body had been split apart, a Quincy Cross had emerged at the center of the rupture.
That was Gerard’s core.
Destroying the Quincy Cross would be the key to killing him.

Inside the windmill cottage, Zepia Eltnam Atlasia muttered to himself as his fingers moved rapidly, manipulating the floating crystal balls in the room like a keyboard—collecting data, then carefully adjusting countless parameters.
By “okay,” he was wondering whether this would violate the Atlas Institute's contract.

The moment the words left her mouth, Aesc vanished.
A split-second later, a sonic boom rang out, making Gray’s ears throb.
In the blink of an eye, Aesc had already broken through the skeletal formation and charged straight at the masked girl. The skeletons in her way were flung into the air, shattering apart.
Her magic spear clashed with the masked girl’s pitch-black Rhongomyniad. The two weapons locked in a deadlock.

While Gin battled Rock, on the other side, Cornelia was locked in combat with another Teigu user dispatched from Revolutionary Army headquarters.
His name was Loki. If Rock was tall and lanky, Loki was the complete opposite—short and obese. He was also the one who had been chatting with Haruki earlier.
Loki was a power-type Teigu user, and his Teigu was called the Wrist Guards of Strength. As the name suggested, it was a pair of wrist guards that, when worn, greatly enhanced the...

A violent gust of wind erupted alongside a white explosion of air and smoke.
Bazz-B’s expression shifted slightly.
His attack—just as it was about to strike Masatsuki Aozaki—suddenly came to a halt, as if slamming into an invisible wall. It couldn’t advance even an inch!
“You’ve got to be kidding me! How is this even possible?!”
Gritting his teeth, Bazz-B poured even more force into his strike. His fingers clenched into a fist as he continued hammering ag...

Before he could finish, Bambietta cut him off. She stomped her foot in frustration and snapped,
“None of your business. Say one more word, and I'll kill you right now.”
Kill me?
Bazz-B's eye twitched.
I was just being nice, showing concern… and this is how she talks to me?! She should remember that I'm her senior!

Three days later, on the battlefield of the Land of Hot Water...
Orochimaru casually flicked the blood off his hands. Five corpses lay motionless at his feet.
“That should do it...”
“Kazuyama-kun has already settled things with the Daimyō of the Land of Waterfalls. It’s time I made my retreat.”
“Sensei... I wonder if we’ll ever meet again…”
Just as Orochimaru turned to leave, a rustle in the leaves made him pause.

Kazuyama nodded—he already knew the news.
Out of the three survivors, one had now been taken. Anyone would feel awful in that situation.
But this was the Shinobi World. People vanished or died mysteriously every single day. All he could do was offer some comfort.

"This thing in your hand?"
Orochimaru stepped forward, examining the long sword in Kawakaze’s grasp with curiosity.
Tsunade also approached, placing a hand on Kawakaze’s back to check his internal condition.
Only after confirming that there were no abnormalities did she finally relax.
"Yes."
"This is a power that surpasses Kekkei Genkai and even Kekkei Tōta."
"It negates all ninjutsu."
"And I can control it freely."

After Orochimaru and Tobirama—one the creator of Impure World Reincarnation—finished their discussion, Kawakaze followed Orochimaru to the laboratory.
As soon as he stepped inside, he saw Tsunade hard at work, with Misaki assisting her.
"Tell me your thoughts," Orochimaru said. "What do you need me to do?"
It was as if he could read Kawakaze's mind—he had already guessed that whatever method Kawakaze had devised to increase his strength had something to do with him.

Tsunade looked toward Hiruzen, whose injuries had yet to fully heal. Her expression remained calm, revealing no hint of emotion.
"No, I’m in no position to say anything."
Hiruzen gazed at Tsunade’s reanimated form, his heart heavy with guilt. It was no exaggeration to say that she had saved his life—yet in doing so, she had sacrificed her own.
"It’s not your fault, so don’t dwell on it."

With the war finally over, news of Madara Uchiha's resurrection spread rapidly across the entire Ninja World.
The Eye of the Moon Plan sent waves of panic through everyone. After all, no one wanted to experience a few days of blissful dreams only to become nourishment for the God Tree. The cost of such a dream was far too high.
When people learned that Konoha's elite had fought Madara and that the Fourth Hokage had died in battle, their hearts sank.

He wasn't an idiot.
If he were, he would never have made it into CP0.
Every member of the World Government's intelligence agency was trained from a young age and selected through an extremely rigorous process. Whether in intelligence analysis or combat ability, they were among the very best this sea had to offer.

Daren frowned.
There were only a handful of big shots at Marine Headquarters, but this voice was unfamiliar to him.

New World, somewhere in the ocean.
Thick thunderclouds loomed over the island, a sea of pitch-black clouds pressing down like an enormous hood.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, crackling through the clouds like rampaging dragons.
A white Torikago covered the entire island.
The once lush jungle had turned into a sea of fire, with charred craters riddling the forest and the ground. Flames raged, sending thick black smoke billowing into the air.

It was a sharp dagger with a curved blade, and in the dim light of the underground cavern, illuminated only by a few illumination spells, it gleamed with a dazzling golden brilliance.
If one had to compare it, it resembled the kind of exquisite artifact you'd expect to find in the treasury of the Heroic King, Gilgamesh.
“What is that?” asked Lord El-Melloi II.
