****************

Wano Country, Kuri.

The weather was exceptionally clear today. The blue sky was dotted with a few leisurely white clouds, and a handful of seagulls flew by, leaving behind their droppings as a rather unwelcome souvenir.

Wano Country's geographical location was incredibly unique, resembling a natural war fortress. The entire nation was surrounded by towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. This terrain had even posed a significant challenge for the World Government, which had never managed to bring Wano under its control.

Wano was, without a doubt, a lawless land.

Kuri, in particular, was a special place within Wano. It was a land of exile, a paradise for criminals.

Once the residence of the Kozuki family, Kuri was ruled by their daimyos for generations. Decades ago, the infamous Ashura Doji terrorized this region until Kozuki Oden defeated him, bringing a brief period of peace and prosperity to Kuri.

However, with Oden's tragic fall, Kuri returned to its former state of poverty and chaos. The crimes committed by Kaido's subordinates have made life unbearable for the common people.

High above the ruins of Oden Mansion, Colt appeared silently.

The once-majestic Daimyo Mansion now lay in ruins, providing the perfect stage for him to summon the Ninja Alliance Army.

As for Robin and the others, they remained outside of Wano Country.

Colt had no intention of involving them in this battle.

This was a battle for the ninjas—a declaration of their existence to the world.

No outsiders were needed.

Colt landed lightly on the ground, his eyes emitting a faint purple glow. A pitch-black crack silently appeared in the air, rapidly expanding as tens of thousands of ninja alliance troops materialized within the ruins.

Before the troops could fully settle, several figures rushed to Colt's side at breakneck speed.

"Colt!"

Several tender voices called out simultaneously, filled with deep longing.

Led by Hinata, the girls couldn't contain their excitement and rushed toward him like swallows returning to their nests.

Colt smiled warmly, opening his arms to embrace each of them.

*Hiss*

He couldn't help but feel relieved that he had only taken a few wives. Any more, and he might not have been able to hug them all at once.

"I've missed you so much," Hinata whispered, her face pressed against his chest. Colt's clothes were already damp from her tears.

He held them tightly as if trying to merge their bodies with his own.

"I've missed you all too,"

The ninja alliance forces, still dazed from the sudden summoning, quickly averted their eyes from the scene, choosing not to pry into Colt's personal affairs.

The image of Colt's eyes just a while ago, vast and unfathomable like the universe itself, had only deepened their belief in his invincibility.

No one doubted that if this living God had wished it, he could have crushed them all with a single gesture.

The situation grew awkward.

The handsome young man comforted the girls softly, while over ten thousand ninjas stood around, chatting idly about trivial matters.

"Is this the New World? The sky here seems to be so vibrant and unpolluted."

"Yeah, the clouds are so thick and white."

"Even the trees are taller than those in Konoha. Amazing."

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya floated silently to the side, her presence immediately noticed by the girls.

Hinata, Ino, and the others blushed, realizing that now wasn't the time for affection, and quickly stepped aside.

"You've become very strong," Kaguya said, her expression serious. A faint trace of fear flickered in her eyes as she studied Colt.

Through her Byakugan, she could see the immense energy swirling within him, stirring a storm of emotions in her heart.

She couldn't comprehend how Colt had grown so powerful in such a short time.

"Thank you for taking care of the girls all these years," Colt said with a smile.

Before coming to the One-Piece world, he had entrusted Kaguya with their safety.

From his occasional conversations with Hinata, he had learned that Kaguya had been silently watching over them, a fact that had solidified their authority among the ninja alliance. Especially for Hinata, after all, she wasn't just representing herself—she was backed by the Goddess herself.

Colt raised his hand slightly, gesturing to the world around them.

"Do you feel it? This is almost a paradise."

Kaguya closed her eyes, sensing the abundant natural energy in the air. She nodded slightly.

"The natural energy here is overwhelming. Planting even two Divine Trees would have little impact, and they would bear incredibly bountiful fruit."

A rare smile graced her lips, and for a moment, the world seemed to pale in comparison to her beauty.

Colt, however, remained composed. He had faced far greater challenges than this.

"Don't get ahead of yourself," he said with a light cough.

"We'll plant the Divine Trees after dealing with the current rulers. It won't take long."

Kaguya nodded obediently.

For the Ōtsutsuki clan, a few years were nothing compared to their endless lifespans. With the threat of their clan gone, she could afford to wait.

After addressing Kaguya, Colt turned his attention to the ninja army.

The crowd fell silent, their breaths held as they awaited his words.

Among them, he spotted many familiar faces: Shikamaru, Tenten, Neji, Chōji, Jiraiya, Konoha's gatekeepers, and even Hanabi, Hinata's younger sister.

Hanabi had grown into a young woman, her demeanor colder and more ethereal than her sister's.

When her eyes met Colt's, she blinked playfully, bringing a smile to his face.

She was still the mischievous sister-in-law he remembered.

"Everyone, it's been a while," Colt said softly, his voice carrying clearly to every ear.

"I believe you already understand the purpose of this mission. This is an invasion—a declaration by us ninjas to the New World."

The crowd remained silent, listening intently.

"In this world, ninjas are seen as subordinates to samurai, a profession with no room for advancement. I find this simply unacceptable."

A strong wind began to blow, whipping through the clothes of the assembled ninjas. Colt's tone grew more intense.

"Wano Country is the place I've chosen for us. Here, samurai reign supreme, but that changes today."

He spread his arms wide, as if embracing the entire world.

"My people, I need a war!"

"With my will, go forth and conquer this country. Change the world!"

****************

After Colt finished speaking, the scene first fell into a strange silence, and then erupted into sky-high cheers.

"For Colt-sama! For ninjas!"

"Occupy Wano Country! Dominate the world!"

"War! Where Colt-sama points his blade, we shall follow!"

The crowd's breathing grew heavy, their eyes glowing redder than the Sharingan, as they eagerly anticipated finding a samurai to fight, ready to show them what a true ninja was capable of!

With a single order, the ninjas of the five major regiments began to march swiftly to their respective battlefields.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people disappeared, leaving only Colt's family and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya behind.

Hinata, who had been worried about potential casualties, was about to voice her concerns when Colt stopped her.

"Don't worry. With Hashirama-sama here, there will be absolutely no problems on the frontal battlefield."

"Besides, after gaining Haki, they haven't experienced a proper war yet. It's better to uncover their weaknesses now than to discover them in the future."

Hearing Colt's reassurance, Hinata relaxed completely and happily took his arm.

Everyone chatted about what had happened over the years, listening intently as Colt shared stories of his adventures at sea.

When he mentioned that his crew members were all young girls, Ino's eyes narrowed, and her fingers dug into Colt's side with a playful yet jealous pinch.

Colt couldn't help but grimace.

Among the girls, Ino's love was the most passionate, and she was the quickest to playfully sulk. Yet, it was this very girl who had captured his heart the most.

During his three years in the Pirate World, he had remained as steadfast as a rock, guarding his heart!

"There are still some trump cards I need to use, at least as insurance for everyone."

Colt, fearing that the conversation would turn into a critique of his choices, quickly changed the subject, steering clear of further mentions of Nami and the others.

Sure enough, when the girls heard that he still had hidden plans, their curiosity was piqued.

Snap!

Without wasting a moment, Colt brought his hands together, beginning to gather chakra. It had been a long time since he had performed such an action, as ninjas typically only did so when executing large-scale ninjutsu.

For him, battles usually required intense focus, leaving little room for such preparations.

A spatial channel opened once more, but this time, only an ethereal spirit floated through.

Upon seeing this spirit, Kaguya's eyes sharpened.

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo!

"Kamiyo Colt, why have you summoned me from the spirit world again?"

The Sage of Six Paths looked puzzled.

He had been enjoying his time of peace in the spirit world when he felt an irresistible pull.

Opening his eyes, he found himself face-to-face with Colt's smiling visage and the piercing gaze of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

An inexplicable sense of dread filled his heart.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to inform you of something."

"Go on," the Sage of Six Paths replied cautiously, subtly drifting backward.

Colt paid no mind to his wariness and gestured to the surroundings, which were vastly different from the ninja world.

"Let me explain the current situation. I am now invading another world to secure a broader living space for ninjas."

"As the founder of the ninja way and half-ancestor of the ninja profession, shouldn't you contribute your strength as well?"

The Sage of Six Paths frowned.

"You've already summoned countless souls with the [Impure World Reincarnation]. Isn't that enough?"

Colt shook his head, his expression serious. "Those souls volunteered to serve me. Their actions have nothing to do with you."

"Calling you out now, it's because your time to contribute has arrived."

The Sage of Six Paths opened his mouth to protest, but Colt gave him no opportunity.

In a single step, as if traversing time and space, Colt appeared beside the Sage of Six Paths and grasped his head.

"My subordinates are fighting bravely, and casualties are inevitable. I think your Pure Land is quite suitable to counter this."

"So, I've decided to establish a new Pure Land in the New World!"

The Sage of Six Paths' eyes widened in horror as he felt the power he had accumulated over nearly a millennium begin to drain away like a flood.

"You—!"

Colt formed hand seals with one hand, completing one hundred and eight seals in under ten seconds.

Then, raising a finger, he uttered softly:

"[Six Paths: Parallel World Technique]!"

A blue ring enveloped Colt and the Sage of Six Paths, using the Sage's body as a medium.

An unseen space, existing in the void, began to expand across the world.

This was an unprecedented, large-scale ninjutsu of immense difficulty, far surpassing even the [Six Paths: Planetary Devastation].

What Colt aimed to achieve was similar to what the original Sage of Six Paths had done: to create a Pure Land to house the souls of the dead.

However, the difference lay in scale.

The ninja world paled in comparison to the Pirate World, with even one of its four seas being dozens of times larger. The complexity of the task was unimaginable.

Thus, Colt devised a clever workaround.

The Sage of Six Paths had become one with the Pure Land of the Ninja World. By tapping into his nearly thousand-year accumulation of power and combining it with his own chakra, Colt could achieve this feat more easily.

It had taken Colt nearly a month to master this technique.

Hinata and the others watched in stunned silence, while even Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's mouth hung slightly open, shocked by Colt's audacity.

This was too ruthless!

The Sage of Six Paths' soul began to blur at a visible rate.

By the end, if one didn't focus carefully, they could no longer sense his presence.

After about half an hour, the chakra drain from Colt's body finally ceased, and the Sage of Six Paths had fulfilled his purpose.

"Kamiyo Colt... just you wait," the Sage of Six Paths muttered, his voice barely audible, before his soul dissipated into a wisp of smoke and returned to the Pure Land.

Colt estimated that the old man wouldn't awaken for at least a century, if not longer.

Wiping the fine sweat from his brow, Colt turned to Ino with a smile.

"Use your clan's ninja arts to deliver this message to all the ninjas in each unit: …"

"Even if they die, I can bring them back from the Pure Land!"@@novelbin@@

(T/N: The author left a note about what happened in the last part of the chapter)

Author's Note:

I recall a reader once said that I hate Itachi, but not all unfilial sons that did even worse than him.

In truth, I had already prepared a new fitting home for the Sage of Six Paths. This chapter serves to prove my innocence.
