"Tornado!"
On the battlefield in the Land of Rivers in the northern part of the Ninja World.
On a desolate plain, a blue dragon with a ferocious face twisted its body as if molting.
A storm tornado with A-Rank Ninjutsu-level strength descended upon the battlefield.
If it were just an A-Rank Ninjutsu, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But hundreds of A-Rank Ninjutsus falling together? That was on a completely different level.
The several thousand Kumogakure's Ninjas led by the Third Raikage's attendant, Dodai, and the quasi-Kage level powerhouse, Toroi, couldn't even get close to the dragon in the sky.
They were tossed high into the air by the tornado, either shredded into mincemeat by wind blades, or thrown about until they fell to the ground and splattered into pulp.
"So powerful... where did Jin find these monsters again..."
Standing far behind Kaido's group, Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga Clan, and his several hundred clansmen watched dumbfounded through their Byakugan.
Under Kaido's leadership, the executive members of the Beasts Pirates also entered their beasts form.
They wreaked havoc on this battlefield, turning the Land of Rivers into hell.
Hiashi and his group weren't here to fight alongside Kaido, of course.
They were just following Jin's instructions to guide these roughnecks.
"Damn it!"
Facing Kaido, who, though slightly inferior to Hashirama and Madara from the final battle at the Valley of the End, was undoubtedly a Super-Kage level in the Ninja World, the Kumogakure's Ninjas had no way to deal with him.
Toroi, currently the third strongest in Kumogakure after the Third Raikage and the genius B due to A's death, gritted his teeth secretly.
He grabbed the giant shuriken from his back, infused it with Lightning Attribute Chakra, and threw it at the blue dragon high in the sky.
However, even this custom-made giant shuriken, half the size of an adult, was like a small boat in a storm of this scale.
But this shuriken actually managed to cut through the storm, heading straight for Kaido.
This was Toroi's Kekkei Genkai-
Magnet Release!
However, unlike Gaara's Magnet Release, which controls sand through magnetism, Toroi applies magnetism to weapons.
Once his weapon makes contact with the target's body, he can attach magnetic force to them.
After that, all his attacks can track the target through the magnetic force on them… to the ends of the earth!
Seeing the shuriken flying rapidly towards Kaido, the surviving Kumogakure's Ninjas below had hopeful glints in their eyes, their faces full of expectation.
Clearly, they were betting their hopes on this move.
However, when the extra large shuriken infused with Lightning Attribute Chakra struck Kaido's dragon scales, it was like a toothpick hitting steel plate.
Not only did it fail to harm the target even slightly, but it itself was torn open with a huge gash.
"Hmm?"
Kaido raised an eyebrow slightly.
'Did a mosquito just bite me?'
"How..."
Toroi felt his confidence as a quasi-Kage-level powerhouse completely shattered at this moment.
There was no helping it. Just like the gap between Super-Kage and Six Paths-level figures, the gap between Kage level and Super-Kage-level figures was like that between heaven and earth.
Not to mention he was only a quasi-Kage.
"Ah? It's you, kid..."
Kaido looked down and noticed Toroi.
The next second, his throat swelled slightly, and he opened his mouth wide.
"Toroi! Watch out!"
Dodai sensed something and instinctively formed hand seals to create a rubber shield, protecting Toroi behind it.
Kaido's face darkened.
He really hate rubber now!
"Heat Breath!"
A crimson energy cannon containing high temperatures poured out from his throat.
It directly blasted the elastic rubber wall.
Boom-!!!
The next second, a giant mushroom cloud rose out of nowhere.
...
September 3rd, Year 46 of Konoha Calendar.
A new force from Konoha calling themselves the [Beasts Pirates] completely annihilated the 8,000-strong Ninja Army led by the Raikage's attendant and Toroi on the Land of Rivers battlefield.
Three days later, they arrived at the Land of Hot Water's battlefield.
Together with the Charlotte Family, led by Katakuri, who were already at the front lines in the Land of Hot Water, they formed a pincer attack.
They besieged the remaining ten thousand troops personally led by the Third Raikire.
Originally, the Third Raikage refused to believe it and wanted to fight to the death.
But even he, at the peak of Kage level, was no match for the Super-Kage-level Kaido.
Under the persuasion of his many subordinates, the Third Raikage could only reluctantly let go of hatred and chose to seek peace with Konoha.
However, the envoy group he sent out was immediately blocked by Kaido's people.
Kaido's secretary, Bao Huang, immediately stated that 'peace talks' were not an option.
The Beasts Pirates would conquer the Land of Lightning and make it their new base.
Therefore, either the Land of Lightning's Daimyo obediently handed over his position as the head of the country and announced the nation's surrender, or they would be destroyed.
Hearing the conditions proposed by the other side, even a battle maniac like the Third Raikage was thoroughly frightened.
Helpless, he could only seek instructions from the Land of Lightning's Daimyo.
However, the Daimyo was basically the local emperor in a country, so how could he possibly give up his power?
He wanted them to keep fighting!
Thus, the Third Great Ninja War, which could have ended this year, reignited.
Just like Jin during the Second Great Ninja War, Kaido, now in the Third Great Ninja War, was also in no hurry to end the war.
After all, according to Jin, the Third Raikage was the strongest in this world's current era.
If he died, there would be no one left to play with.
Of course, Jin didn't include himself.
This made Kaido somewhat reluctant to kill the Third Raikage for a while.
After all, being invincible was too lonely.
Jin felt this guy was really something else.
'Wait until that show-off Madara makes a comeback.'
'Let's see if you still dare to act so arrogantly then.'
With Kaido stationed there, the northern battlefield couldn't possibly have any more problems.
On the eastern coastal battlefield, the Kirigakure's forces confronting Konoha also heard about the situation on the northern battlefield.
They heard there was a Super-Kage level powerhouse who could turn into a dragon, suspected to be a Jinchuriki, blocking the way there.
He cut off the connection between Kumogakure and Kirigakure.
This immediately caused great unrest among the Kirigakure troops led by the Third Mizukage.
And the intelligence department brought back more news.
That freak Uchiha Jin had returned.
This made Kirigakure even less willing to fight.
They sheepishly presented a peace agreement.
...
Tsunade, who hadn't gone to the front lines due to the arrival of the Beasts Pirates, looked at the peace proposal before her.
She fell into brief silence.
She was no old coward like Hiruzen.
She wouldn't eagerly sign the agreement just because the other side sought peace.
It was Kirigakure who initiated the attack on Konoha in the first place.
And now they want to stop just like that?
However, the Land of Water was separated from the Land of Fire by the sea.
Even if they fought their way onto the other's territory, they would only gain an 'exclave'.
Tsunade interlocked her fingers, resting her chin on her hands, and remained silent for a long time.
Then she sent a reply to the Third Mizukage.
The content was roughly: "Agree to peace talks, but the Land of Water must compensate the Land of Fire for war damages: 3 billion ryo."
The Third Mizukage fell silent upon reading the reply.
At this moment, both him in the east and the Third Raikage being toyed with by Kaido in the north couldn't help but miss the Third Hokage who used to agree to whatever they said.
...
In Year 47 of Konoha Calendar, Kaido on the northern battlefield finally grew tired of playing.
He killed the stubborn Third Raikage and officially invaded the Land of Lightning, destroying the country.
Following his subordinates' suggestion, he renamed it the [Land of Oni].
But the problem was there already was a Land of Demons in the Ninja World, a small country skilled in witchcraft and sealing techniques. (T/N: Oni can actually mean Demon, so the name can be said to be the same.)
After learning this, Kaido expressed great dissatisfaction.
How could the country he personally built have a name clash?
So... he began gathering troops, preparing to attack that Land of Demons.
He only stopped after beating them into submission, making them beg for mercy and agree to change their name to the [Land of Priestess].
The battle between Sunagakure and Iwagakure ended with Sunagakure seeking peace.
Originally, Sunagakure started the war with Iwagakure to divert conflicts.
Now that another Kage-level powerhouse, Rasa, had grown up in Sunagakure and taken over the position of Kazekage, Sunagakure naturally had no need to continue fighting.
They took the initiative to seek peace.
Regarding this, the Iwagakure's upper-echelons were outraged.
'You think you can just stop fighting if you want?'
'Who do you think you are!?'
'Not to mention, we, Iwagakure, currently have the upper hand on the battlefield.'
'Why stop?'
'Keep fighting!'
However, the Tsuchikage, Onoki, overruled the objections and chose to accept Sunagakure's peace offer.
Onoki didn't choose reconciliation because he was a coward like Hiruzen.
After all, in his life, besides Madara, Onoki had never been afraid of anyone.
Mainly, Onoki felt it was no longer the right time for war.
The Land of Lightning was gone… and the new leader was a madman.
Onoki felt it was necessary to stop and recuperate properly.
Who knew how the Ninja World would develop next?
Thus, in Year 47 of Konoha Calendar, the Third Great Ninja War ended, extending by one year compared to the original story.
The new Konoha, composed of 80% refugees from the One Piece World, celebrated village-wide for the second time since Tsunade became Hokage.
And the wives of several clan heads announced their pregnancies.
For example, Mikoto from the Uchiha Clan was pregnant with her second child, Hyuga Kiyoshi from the Hyuga Clan, Inuzuka Tsume from the Inuzuka Clan, Nara Yoshino from the Nara Clan, etc.…
This made the major clans decorated with festive banners, full of joyous atmosphere.
It also became a topic of discussion among many Konoha's villagers.
After all, so many clan heads' wives pregnant in the same year?
What a coincidence, right?
However, compared to Konoha Village's celebration,
Jin, the actual ruler of Konoha, was like a student preparing for the college entrance exam.
His face was solemn as he polished his Ryujin Jakka, took a deep breath, and patted his cheeks.
He strived to adjust his condition to the best.
Harribel stood silently in the courtyard, watching this scene without comment.
It was the first time she had seen this man show such a serious expression.
"Is the opponent this time very strong?"
Harribel finally spoke.
Jin raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at her.
"Oh~ How rare. Tier, this should be the first time you've taken the initiative to speak to me, right?"
Jin said with amusement.
Harribel's emerald-green eyes shifted to the side.
'Sure enough, this guy couldn't be serious once he opened his mouth.'
"Very strong. I might not come back."
Jin told the truth.
As soon as he said this, the women inside the room instantly changed expressions.
Nami shot up, "No way! Th-then don't go! It shouldn't be an enemy from this world, right?"
Hancock also hurriedly said, "I'll go help too! I'm very strong now, I definitely won't hold Jin-chan back."
Only these two foolish beauties were the most agitated.
As for girls like Konan and Rin, who had grown into graceful young women, although their eyes were also full of worry, they sat quietly in place, waiting for Jin's explanation.
"I must go this time. Not only to repay a favor, but it's also a dream I've always had."
"Don't worry, I'm afraid of death too. If I really can't win, won't I just run? You should understand this best, Tier, just like when facing Yhwach before…"
"Even if I accidentally die, I have a way to resurrect. Don't worry."
After appeasing everyone, Jin discreetly activated the group chat teleportation function.
Teleportation target: [Dragon Ball World].
'Super Saiyan, I'm coming!'
...
[Group member, Kakarot, will be removed from this group. Countdown 10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8 seconds...]
When Jin heard this sound, he knew…
The Saiyans were coming.
And Krillin and the others had successfully found the Dragon Balls and resurrected Goku.
Unfortunately, King Kai made a mistake, forgetting to tell Goku that returning to the living world required running the Snake Way again.
Meanwhile, Vegeta and Nappa had already arrived on Earth, while the main protagonist, Goku was still running on the Snake Way.
Basically, it's a forced nerf leading to a team wipe.
Dragon Ball World, 12:22 PM.
At the wilderness area over a hundred kilometers from West City.
After sensing the powerful ki, Piccolo and Gohan's expressions changed drastically.
'Finally here?'
'The Saiyans!'
"Don't be afraid, Gohan."
Piccolo clenched his fists, suppressing the fear that had just surged within him.
"As long as you utilize the results of your training this year, the Saiyans are nothing to be afraid of!"
Gohan, who was a crybaby a year ago, returned a determined look and replied firmly:
"Yes! Piccolo-san!"
"Truly the Son Family's nanny. Well said."
Just then, an approving voice suddenly sounded.
It startled both Gohan and Piccolo.
"You..."
Seeing Jin appear out of thin air, Piccolo instinctively assumed a fighting stance.
"Calm down, buddy. I'm here to help."
Jin patted Piccolo's shoulder and laughed.
Jin then turned his gaze to Gohan, ruffling the messy hair on his head.
"Hello, Gohan. It's our first time meeting, right? You can call me 'Uncle'."
Faced with Jin's overly familiar behavior, both Piccolo and Gohan were somewhat baffled.
Piccolo pointed at Jin, "Gohan, do you know him?"
Son Gohan shook his head in confusion.
"Piccolo! Gohan!"
A bald head suddenly emerged from the crowd.
"Krillin-san!"
Gohan called out in surprise.
"You've grown quite a bit, kid!"
Krillin first patted Gohan's shoulder, then noticed Jin and walked over, both surprised and happy.
"You... are you Jin?!"
"Long time no see, Krillin. How's the old man doing?"
Jin raised a hand in greeting.
"Aside from complaining that the magazine content isn't as stimulating as what you gave him, no changes."
With strong enemies approaching, Krillin cracked a joke and shrugged.
"Krillin, who is this guy?"
Piccolo asked again.
"Ah... well, it's a bit complicated to explain. Just consider him the third disciple Master Roshi took after me and Goku for now."
Krillin scratched his smooth bald head.
