Chapter 762

Chapter 762: 689 Chapter 762: 689 “I’m not sure whether we should consider ourselves lucky or unlucky.”

Ye Rong looked at the token in Tao Yu’s hand, then surveyed their surroundings, feeling a sense of poignancy at the sight of the collapsed canyon.

If Madara Uchiha, the Chosen One, hadn’t appeared so suddenly, facing that number of Cockroach People…

Thinking back to that scene, everyone felt a shiver down their spine.

There was a huge oversight in the intelligence on the Cockroach People!

It had to be corrected!

And a considerable amount of time had passed, with no issues in this world discovered until now.

That likely meant all the Pioneers who had encountered this situation were dead!

…

It was terrifying to think that even a World Breaker, if surrounded, would be torn to shreds…

“Let’s go, it’ll be better once we enter the Land of Fire with the World Barrier.”

“Yes, although according to Lord Madara Uchiha, the Land of Fire seems to have its own troubles, certainly nothing like what we’ve just seen.”

“Right, let’s pick up the pace…”

Having just narrowly escaped death, the group didn’t take time to celebrate their luck; instead, they quickly continued toward the direction of the Land of Fire.

Finally, before nightfall, they saw an altogether different scene with hurried greenery in front of them.

“Pick up the pace, we’re there.”

“Phew, luckily, we didn’t encounter any more trouble on the road after Lord Madara Uchiha’s attack…”

A faint relief, as well as leftover fear, could be seen on their faces as they swiftly reached the World Barrier.

On their way, Tao Yu had heard the cry of the Ninja Hawk in the sky, but didn’t give it much thought.

Just as they arrived at the border and began using the Pioneers’ methods to open the World Barrier, accompanied by a “whoosh” sound, a squad wearing Konoha ninja headbands approached.

They flickered between the trees and stopped, positioning themselves in a triangular formation to observe the group.

“Pioneers?

State your purpose.”

“We came across Mr.

Madara on our way here.”

Tao Yu took out the token.

The expressions on the faces of the three ninjas changed to surprise upon seeing it, and Tao Yu even sensed a hint of fear in their emotions.

It seemed that, even though peace had been made, Madara Uchiha’s reputation was still not great among ordinary ninjas.

“Since you’ve been cleared by Lord Madara, then there’s no problem, come in.

But we’ll have to wait for your barrier to be restored.”

They were already aware of the Pioneers’ ability to open barriers and were careful not to reveal any weaknesses due to the Cockroach People.

“Mr.

Madara said there are some issues inside the Land of Fire as well?

Are they serious?”

Tao Yu casually asked.

“For now, it’s under control, but recently there’s been an increase in the frequency of gaps appearing in the barrier without any pattern, indeed causing some trouble…”

The ninjas didn’t hide any of this information.

The consensus was that there was a need to conduct mutually beneficial trades with the Pioneers, hoping to get some better solutions from their side.

Tao Yu wasn’t surprised by their words.

Just like the limited harvest quotas for the Yuan Force plants in each World Fragment, different World Fragments each have a recovery threshold, and the World Barrier needs continuous consumption.

If the recovery rate can’t keep up with the consumption, naturally, the problems would get worse.

After the channel was fully restored, the squad took the initiative to speak to Tao Yu and his group

“Lately, you Pioneers have visited several times, we will take you to the village, follow us.”

Their leading the way was to some extent a form of surveillance.

In Konoha, the degree of autonomy was indeed quite high.

This could be indirectly deduced from the might displayed by Madara Uchiha’s actions before.

Already very powerful, and coupled with the boost from the numerous Cockroach People, he was absolutely one of the dominant forces among Catastrophe Level threats.

“After all, he is a reincarnation of Indra’s Chakra, I wonder if the Sage of Six Paths has noticed him…”

Tao Yu had yet to detect the presence of the Sage of Six Paths.

He was somewhat confident in this regard; he believed that if a Saint-level being took notice of him, he would at least have some Perception and feedback.

Although the Sage of Six Paths’ strength was a mystery, Tao Yu didn’t believe it to be exaggerated to such an extent.

However, it was undeniable that after entering the Land of Fire, Tao Yu did feel a subtle sense of oppression.

It was the different rules of the World Fragment; the Realm Will itself imposed its own suppression, much like the World of the Holy Grail did initially—though, comparatively speaking, the suppression in the Ninja World wasn’t as evident.

As for the other Shinobi Village Fragments, Tao Yu had never experienced them…

“Dear Ninja friends, after the Land of Fire fell into the Abyss, did you bring anything else along?

Like Stars or the Moon, for example?”

Following the Ninjas through the forest at high speed.

The team, consisting of at least Intermediate Partners, was not slow either.

And Tao Yu’s question was responded to by one of the Ninjas,

“The Moon came with us, and we also have a Ninja Clan surviving on it, who have now formed an offensive and defensive alliance with us.”

Clearly, this was information approved for release, a way of showing off their strength.

Yet upon hearing this, Tao Yu was slightly stunned.

The Otsutsuki Clan on the Moon had formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Konoha?

And he referred to them as a ‘Clan,’ which means the main house of the Otsutsukis hadn’t been exterminated and turned into the great Rinnegan?

“If the Sage of Six Paths is really behind the great reconciliation of the Ninja World, then it seems normal, or perhaps only the Sage of Six Paths could quell the issues beneath!

Otherwise, given that Clan’s arrogance on the Moon, it’s impossible they would have formed an alliance so easily…”

Moreover, if Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato had joined Konoha as Jiraiya’s disciples, it suggests that Nagato likely still possesses Madara’s Rinnegan.

If Yahiko isn’t dead, the Six Paths Statues probably haven’t been summoned yet.

This, in turn, doesn’t fundamentally conflict with the Otsutsuki Clan responsible for guarding the Sealing Techniques.

Tao Yu even suspected that if the conditions allowed, the Sage of Six Paths unsealing Kaguya wasn’t out of the question!

After all, compared to the threat of the Abyss, there was an opportunity to negotiate terms with Kaguya.

And somewhat humorously, many of the antagonists in Naruto World actually had ‘ideals.’

Kaguya herself wanted to confront the impending threat.

Now that the threat was directly eliminated, she certainly wouldn’t be fixated on continuing her plan to turn everyone into White Zetsu.

“This Ninja World is quite strong…and, moreover, remarkably resilient.

So far, whether it’s on Madara’s side or among these ordinary ninjas, there seems to be no trace of the Sage of Six Paths at all.

Is he just acting secretly…”

Tao Yu was not quite certain about the current state of the Sage of Six Paths.

But his existence could be confirmed!

And his strength must not be underestimated; there’s a high probability he’s also a Chosen One, perhaps even stealthily leveling up in an adjacent world…

The enhancement brought by the Cockroach People alone in terms of Yuan Force was not much, but the sheer number was overwhelming.

The greatest convenience for Chosen Ones and Fortune Thieves was that they only need to kill to absorb Yuan Force; there’s no need to collect materials and absorb it gradually.

This efficiency was definitely high.

At least until they encountered their own bottlenecks, their speed of improvement would likely remain quite considerable…
