Retracting his Susanoo, Masashi didn't say anything more. He felt that he had already responded sincerely enough.
This wasn't how business should be negotiated.
It was completely unequal. Not to mention whether he would obediently comply or not, the terms of exchange were utterly unbalanced.
Just deleting some data in the Pure Land in exchange for sending Madara back? Who would agree to that?
Hagoromo hesitated.
Clearly, if he didn't make things clear, Masashi wo...

Hawkes nodded.
"I still need to survey the surrounding terrain and draft the magic wall blueprints. That'll take about a week. As long as you can gather 1,000 workers within that week, we can start construction immediately! It's estimated to be completed in just two and a half months!"
Viktor: "…"
Just one week. Such a cold and cruel deadline.
Hawkes' face beneath his beard wore a smile. When he first heard the three-month deadline, he felt exac...

[Hiruzen]: And then?
[Ace]: Of course, the war ended. There was no way to keep fighting. I had already run back to Pops. Garp wouldn't really drag me back and execute me, right? Of course, the Marines couldn't admit defeat either, so the situation just came to a standstill.
And then…

In the dense forest flanking the narrow mountain pass, a filthy, disheveled, and grotesque corpse lay on the ground face-up. To humans, this corpse embodied the very essence of ugliness, so much so that even in death, it presented its most repulsive form.
This humanoid creature was entirely covered in brown fur, with especially thick and lush patches on its back and chest. Its chest fur was stained with blood. Its protruding upper and lower jaws were slightly agape, revealing beast-like...

Time had flown by swiftly.
Over the past few years, thanks to the efforts of numerous genius scientists and countless Zaunites, whether in urban development, economy, or technology, Zaun had completely surpassed Piltover, which was solely supported by a few individuals. Zaun had become the true city of progress, a title Piltover could no longer claim with any credibility.
The former "City of Progress" had been outpaced by what they'd once dismissed as mere sewer dwellers.

Letting Kurotsuchi go to Konoha to study wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a carefully considered one.
Right now, Iwa was short on military strength, and it was necessary to find a powerful ally to hold the line.
Besides, Ōnoki was also curious about how Konoha trained its ninja. First Minato, then Ryouma, each one stronger than the last.
"Then I shall immediately lead the Iwa forces back to the Land of Earth and soon dispatch a diplomatic miss...

By the time Minato was four years old, he was already showing a maturity far beyond his peers. From then on, whenever something happened in the shinobi world or in Konoha, Shin would explain the situation to Minato in simplified terms and have him analyze it, requiring him to write a detailed report.
Afterward, the two of them would have in-depth discussions based on Minato's analysis. During these discussions, Shin would continuously guide and mentor him.
Later, when Shin and Tsu...

Whitebeard stood atop the frozen battlefield, his naginata, Murakumogiri, deeply embedded in the ice.
He had entered this war fully prepared to die, yet he hadn't expected such a turn of events to shift the tide. All that was left was for Marco and the others to return. Then the battle could end, and he could take the boys home.
Since Aokiji clearly no longer wanted to fight, Whitebeard decided to stoke the flames a bit more while they had a moment to talk.

In a gentle clearing within the forest stood a crude hut built from round stones and gravel, its roof covered with branches of cedar trees, a specialty of the Land of the North.
In front of the hut, a great and peculiar piece of obsidian served as a platform upon which a fire blazed fiercely.
Perhaps due to some unique chemical within the burning material, the flames bore faint hues of blue, green, and white, while the smoke rising from them twisted into pale spirals.

If it was Edo Tensei, then there would be nothing he could do. The conditions for Edo Tensei were too lax, and Black Zetsu, who ran away before the war even started, must definitely have a backup of Madara's DNA.

Itachi released his Susanoo.
If he hadn't found such a perfectly compatible partner in this world, he never would have employed such an aggressive tactic, this kind of strategy, whether it succeeded or not, meant mutual destruction.
This was a long-planned assault. From the moment he decided to officially enter the war, he had been searching for a suitable opponent. His approach likely only allowed for one decisive shot.
Among the Admirals, Aokiji had the most ambiguous stan...

This was their main force, nearly twenty thousand strong, spread throughout the opposite side of the river valley.

Looking at the results of his work, Viktor was very satisfied.
"Now we just wait for player feedback."
After all, it was a regional event.
Players disconnected outside the Great Oak Forest wouldn't receive the event notification anyway, and that was fine.
The time limit was set to give players a sense of urgency. He didn't want players to end up killing Edgar and the sirens, who might be waiting to be rescued, just for fun.

The foreign ninjas, who had originally joined out of a desire to choose the lesser of two evils, suddenly became highly motivated. The gloom and weariness from days of fruitless crawling through the forest were instantly swept away, and morale soared.
If circumstances had allowed, the leaders wouldn't have settled the matter with dice, they would've fought over who got to go.
