Chapter 78: Terrified Sunagakure
"Doflamingo... is... is a Celestial Dragon..."
Uproar!
Suddenly, the entire spectator area seemed to explode with noise.
Sengoku shook his head helplessly as he listened to the discussions. "Sure enough, it was impossible to hide forever. I didn't expect it to be exposed so soon."
Garp laughed loudly. "This system really knows everything!"
Whitebeard and Kaido both smirked. The World Government played a good game, even letting a Celestial Dragon loose as a pirate.
Swish!
Lights flashed one after another.
The teleported Shichibukai appeared behind Yuichi. At the same time, Aokiji appeared beside him.
Currently, they were bound by some kind of force, unable to move at all. Yuichi was in the same state.
Seeing them on the screen was totally different from seeing them in person. The people in the Ninja World stared down at the Shichibukai from the stands.
"These guys... everyone looks so strong!"
"Murloc! There is such a race in their world?"
Someone seemed very interested in Jinbei.
Somewhere in the Ninja World, Itachi, who had been teleported back from the audience earlier, looked at Kisame Hoshigaki beside him. Kisame was staring at the light screen without blinking.
"That guy and you really look alike, Kisame," Itachi smiled.
Kisame ignored Itachi and just stared at Jinbei. "Murloc... there are such interesting races in that world. I almost want to go there and take a look."
Jinbei gave Kisame a sense of kinship.
The Shichibukai had arrived. Next was the last of the eight A-Class fighters.
[Marine Commodore: Smoker (Title: White Hunter, disciple of former Marine Admiral Zephyr, and fellow student of Marine Admiral Candidate Yuichi)]
The appearance of Smoker didn't surprise the Ninja World much at first. But the introduction—specifically the phrase "fellow student of Marine Admiral Candidate Yuichi"—made people wary.
Yuichi, who had defeated three Kage-level opponents in a row, was taught by the same person. Smoker couldn't be weak.
Yuichi had helped Smoker advance to Commodore much earlier than in the original timeline; his strength was far greater than it should have been at this period.
Smoker was soon teleported to the arena as well.
As soon as he appeared, he looked unhappy. "Did Sengoku choose me? D*mn it! Yuichi, I won't help you!"
Smoker spoke to Yuichi with attitude. Yuichi just smiled. "Are you still worried about the duel before? You only lost once; you don't have to hold a grudge forever."
"Nonsense! You weren't the one who lost, of course you don't care!"
Smoker looked like he had a feud with Yuichi. During their training, Smoker had been consistently suppressed by Yuichi, always ranking second in every test. Naturally, he harbored some resentment.
"Pirates recruited by the Marines because they were too strong... The Seven Warlords of the Sea... plus a Marine Admiral, and Yuichi who defeated the Sannin!"
"Can Sunagakure hold back such a lineup?"
"The Kazekage is in Konoha Village. Without the Kazekage, it's impossible for Sunagakure to block these people!"
Thinking of this, the people of the Ninja World felt hopeless.
Although One Tail Shukaku wasn't theirs, this battle was related to the survival of the whole world. If they lost again, who knew what disaster would befall them next? Millions of people had been wiped out by the terrifying power in the previous round.
Everyone in the Ninja World watched nervously. Were they really going to drop these monsters directly into Sunagakure?
The most anxious people were the Kazekage and the ninjas of Sunagakure, especially those currently in the village.
The Sand Shinobi wore expressions of despair.
"Kazekage-sama is not here! We don't have strong defenses prepared. How can we possibly stop enemies from another world?"
"D*mn it! If Kazekage-sama were here, maybe there would be hope. But relying on us... it's impossible!"
"Isn't the One Tail Jinchūriki not in the village?"
Right!
The Sand Shinobi suddenly remembered. Gaara, the One Tail Jinchūriki, had gone out on a mission. He wasn't in the village at all. The enemy couldn't snatch the One Tail if it wasn't there!
Sand Jonin Baki looked at the sky. "If the enemy can be teleported from another world by mysterious power, can't the One Tail be teleported back to the village?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the Sand Shinobi turned ugly.
Yes. That kind of terrifying power could easily do such a thing.
In the next second, a beam of light descended from the sky.
Boom!
In the middle of Sunagakure, in a huge open space, a massive body suddenly appeared.
All the villagers and ninjas looked back at the figure. No one could keep calm.
Baki stumbled back, staring in horror at the monster.
"One Tail... Shukaku?"
It was Shukaku—extracted from the Jinchūriki's body. Gaara was nowhere to be seen.
Does that mean Gaara is... dead?!
The picture on the screen showed the situation in Sunagakure.
The Fourth Kazekage's mind went blank. Gaara...
Only the One Tail appeared. Being extracted meant death for the host.
But at that moment, Gaara was looking at the screen in the sky, feeling the One Tail still within him. "Shukaku is still here... why?"
My senses feel something strange, as if there's an energy out there exactly the same as mine! Shukaku's voice echoed from within.
Gaara froze. Did that mysterious power create a duplicate Tailed Beast?
The Fourth Kazekage was stunned for a second. He wanted to rush back to Sunagakure desperately, even though it was too late.
Suddenly, a screen appeared in his hand, identical to the one Hiruzen used to select participants.
Rasa looked down and saw a name on the screen. He froze in place.
Seeing Rasa stunned, Hiruzen was about to tell him that Konoha had the Flying Thunder God array to help him return. But seeing Rasa motionless, staring at the screen in surprise, Hiruzen paused.
"What happened to the Kazekage?"
Hiruzen leaned over to look at the screen in Rasa's palm. Even he was stunned.
