Chapter 203: Minato's Experiences in Another World
"Unfortunately, the materials for Impure World Reincarnation are limited... Maybe I can try to use materials from other worlds..."
Orochimaru first shook his head with a bit of regret, then licked his lips and spoke expectantly.
The ninja world had been in war for so many years before the emergence of Hashirama Senju, that the whereabouts and even the names of those powerful people in history were buried by time.
It is not an easy task to put together an Impure World Army that can fight for Konoha in the other world. He can't always send out the four previous Five Kage at his disposal.
However, it is different in other worlds. Although Borsalino will most likely not allow him to touch the past naval marshals and admirals, if all the big pirates can be resurrected from the Impure World Reincarnation, I think Borsalino will not refuse such a group of helpers.
Just when Orochimaru was planning how to carry out localized research on Impure World Reincarnation in the pirate world, after Red Harbor lost its top combat force Sakaski, the balance of victory quickly tipped towards the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.
"The art of puppeteering!"
The Second Generation Kazekage Shamon, with lifeless eyes still in his eyes, opened his arms and threw out countless chakra lines that stuck to the slave soldiers and the soldiers of the Holy Land Guardian Corps who were fighting, manipulating them to start killing each other.
The Third Raikage, with lightning wrapped all over his body, charged directly into the place where the largest number of slave soldiers were. Without any strong people to restrain him, the Third Raikage, who was both offensive and defensive, was simply an unstoppable existence.
However, the one with the highest killing efficiency is the Second Generation Mizukage. His infinite blasting Steam Dangerous Blast can be called a small foe crusher. In less than half an hour, more than four digits of soldiers were easily annihilated by Hozuki Gengetsu.
Even the Second Tsuchikage, who controlled a gigantic rock statue, could not surpass Hozuki Gengetsu in terms of the number of enemies killed.
After Minato took Sakaski away from the battlefield, control of the four Impure World Ninjas fell into the hands of Esdeath.
Having lost her opponent, Esdeath soon found a new hobby, which was to lead the Impure World Ninja to ravage those enemy forces that were still resisting.
She herself did not even seem to be proud of her status, and when she found the enemy resisting, she did not mind freezing them into ice cubes.
The slaves, who already had a clear gap in strength compared to the pirates, could not withstand the attack of these monsters. No matter how much they desired freedom, they would not be able to gain the power to defeat Esdeath.
After losing the restraint of the slave soldiers, the remaining Holy Land Guardians fell to the pirates' swords one after another, and soon Red Harbor fell into the hands of the pirates of the First Squadron.
"Tsk, they lost so many troops just to attack a port fortress, what a bunch of rubbish!"
After occupying Red Harbor, Esdeath did not rush to continue attacking Marijoa, but chose to reorganize the pirates of the First Division.
Before the war, the First Division, which assembled nearly half of the pirate groups in the New World, had a strength of over 100,000. However, after experiencing a series of bloody battles and the Red Harbor explosion, it was caught off guard by the slave army and fought a long battle.
Nearly half of the pirates were killed on the spot, and countless were slightly injured. However, not many were seriously injured. After all, pirates who were seriously injured in the melee basically had no way out but death.
Even if the enemy does not choose to finish off the opponent, no one will come to provide treatment.
Although most pirate groups had a ship doctor, the Red Harbor explosion not only killed the pirates who were landing at the time, but the tsunami caused by the explosion also sank the entire pirate fleet of the First Division to the bottom of the sea, and the ship doctor and non-combat personnel left on the pirate ship were almost wiped out.
Now that the First Division has regrouped, there are less than 40,000 pirates left who can continue fighting.
Fortunately, the morale of the pirates was not too bad, especially after they saw Akainu being ambushed and disappeared on the battlefield, and then their own reinforcements were killed indiscriminately. Even if there were a few guys who wanted to retreat, they had to consider whether they could escape from Esdeath.
Just as Esdeath was about to command the first team of pirates to continue the attack, a golden light flashed, and Minato's figure appeared on the battlefield again.
The Sword of Shinobi Love, which was left behind when Sakaski was taken away from the battlefield, just provided Minato with the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
"So it's you... You and Orochimaru have taken care of that magma man?"
Esdeath looked at Minato with some surprise. According to her observation Haki, if she didn't take into account the magical ability of spatial movement, the strength of this golden-haired man might be even weaker than those four immortal guys, not to mention compared with Sakaski.
Of course, considering that the guy in front of her looks very young and seems to have just mastered the three colors of domineering, it is estimated that in a few years, he will grow to the point where she is interested in him and can be considered a qualified opponent.
Realizing this, Esdeath's attitude towards Minato became a little better, and she was not even angry because Minato took away her enemy.
There is no doubt about Minato Namikaze's potential, but at this stage, even if he joins forces with Orochimaru and sets traps in advance, there is no reason why he can capture Akainu so quickly.
"I took that person to the bottom of the sea..."
Minato answered honestly, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, a ninja should use any means necessary to complete the mission, and since he knew the enemy had a fatal weakness of being afraid of sea water, there was no reason not to take advantage of it.
"Tsk, you're just being clever... Then why did you come back?"
Esdeath snorted somewhat unhappily. If she had known that Orochimaru had this plan, she would not have given up such a good opponent like Sakaski for nothing.
"I am here to convey Lord Boros's order. The second team has already set out. Do you and the first team need to rest for a while?"
Minato's expression was also a little embarrassed. He was just a ninja responsible for carrying out the mission and didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Orochimaru and Esdeath.
When Orochimaru launched the coup, Danzo and the two Hokage advisors tried to win him over, but after meeting the Third Hokage, Minato decisively chose to stand on Orochimaru's side. The main reason was that he didn't want to be caught in the middle.
"Are you kidding? I just finished warming up. The second team is led by Big Mom, right? Ask her to bring people over to take over Red Harbor. I want to continue attacking Marijoa!"
Esdeath didn't care about the casualties of the first team of pirates at all. Borsalino had ordered that none of these people should be left alive, and she wouldn't even blink an eye even if they all died.
Minato was somewhat hesitant about Esdeath's almost cruel decision, but he still obeyed the order and went to the second team to convey Esdeath's instructions.
In Minato's understanding, Esdeath, as the commander of the first squad, should be considered on the same level as the intimidating BIG MOM, but it is also natural for her as a front-line commander to issue orders to the rear.
Unfortunately, Charlotte Linlin didn't think so. After knowing that Esdeath was giving orders to her directly, BIG MOM went into a state of rampage.
"That stinky bitch! Who does she think she is! She even dares to let me help her!!!" The furious Charlotte Linlin glared at Minato fiercely, ready to use this unfamiliar face to vent her anger and let that annoying woman Esdeath know that she is not to be messed with!
However, what BIG MOM did not expect was that even when she had released her domineering aura, the blond young man in front of her did not show the slightest fear, and even revealed some curiosity about her body shape.
"Is there anything you want me to convey to Lady Esdeath?"
Minato wanted to ask Charlotte Linlin how she grew so big, but he felt that this question was not polite, so he could only keep a note of it in his mind and prepare to tell Kushina about the various magical experiences he had during this mission.
Of course he would not reveal the specific details, and if Kushina had not often complained about being bored and unable to go out, Minato would not have tried to entertain Kushina in this way.
"…Go back and tell that bitch…woman that I know!"
Charlotte Lingling wanted to explode several times, but in the end she forced herself to suppress her anger.
Even if she got mad and killed the blond boy now, at most she would just have another fight with Esdeath to no winner, and she might even be held accountable later for ruining Boros's plans.
Charlotte Linlin was able to rise to the position of Pirate Emperor step by step after the failure of the Rocks Pirates. What she relied on was not only her powerful strength, but she also knew how to think and even plan conspiracies when necessary.
But most of the time she was able to crush the enemy with her strength, so there was naturally no place for her brains to come into play.
"Yes."
Minato showed a slightly regretful expression. He actually wanted to see what the scene would be like when Charlotte Linlin took action.
It’s not that Minato has any grudge against BIG MOM, he’s just purely curious and wants to broaden his horizons.
After all, in the list of key points that Orochimaru gave him to pay attention to, BIG MOM was ranked second, and it was a monster that should never be faced alone.
In terms of threat level alone, almost everyone in the second sequence has a combat power comparable to the Nine-tailed Demon Fox.
It just so happened that Minato was one of the few people in the ninja world who knew the Nine-Tails best. After all, in a sense, he "slept in the same bed" with the Nine-Tails every day. In Minato's opinion, it was not an exaggeration to overestimate the strength of this tailed beast that resided in Kushina's body.
However, in just over an hour, even if he ignored Boros and Tornado, Minato had already met three powerful men who were comparable to the Nine-Tails. This also gave him a relatively clear understanding of the degree of danger in this different world.
"Mom, are we going to fight too?"
Perospero wiped the sweat that had appeared on his forehead and tried to divert his mother's attention.
When his mother got angry just now, his heart almost stopped.
After being in the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates for so long, BIG MOM's children almost forgot how terrible it was when their mother got angry.
"...Didn't you hear what that blond said? Boros has already ordered us to attack. Do you dare to disobey him?"
Charlotte Linlin growled with gritted teeth with a gloomy face. Ever since Rocks was defeated, she had never been a member of anyone else's crew again. But now she was forced by Boros to join his pirate group. The frustration she felt was beyond words.
At the beginning, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin pretended to surrender for a while, but when they realized that Boros was a freak and didn't care about their loyalty at all, they stopped pretending.
Just as the second team, or the Big Mom Pirates, were preparing to land in Red Harbor, Kaido from the third team also received instructions from Minato, asking him to be ready to follow the Big Mom Pirates and attack Marijoa.
"Hmph, that Boros guy...boy, why have I never seen you before? Did you eat the animal-type devil fruit?"
When Kaido received Boros's order, he did not fly into a rage like Charlotte Linlin. Of course, this was mainly because he had just cried and was still in a calm state similar to the sage mode.
However, just as Kaido was about to send Minato away, he noticed out of the corner of his eye a pair of furry ears that unconsciously appeared on Minato's head.
"Uh, I'm Minato Namikaze from Konoha Ninja. I'm the new guy here... I'm the user of the Cat-Cat Fruit, the Manul Form."
Minato touched his head a little embarrassedly. He had just eaten the devil fruit not long ago and was still a little unskilled in controlling the power of the fruit. From time to time, another pair of ears or a tail would grow on his body.
"It's just an ordinary animal type. How strong are you?"
Kaido showed a slightly disappointed expression on his face, but considering that the golden-haired boy in front of him was an animal-type ability user, he still asked as patiently as possible.
"That shouldn't be considered weak, right?"
Minato answered naturally, he wouldn't brag about himself, but there was no need to be overly modest.
Even after having met so many top-level experts, Minato didn't think he would be a weakling in the eyes of others.
"Are you someone who belongs to that crazy woman Esdeath? Don't follow her, join the Beasts Pirates, and I'll let you fight for real... Well, if you can prove your strength, you can be the Flying Six or even the Big Billboard!"
Kaido inexplicably likes Minato Namikaze, not only because Minato ate the Animal-type Devil Fruit, but more importantly, Minato has an inexplicable affinity, even Kaido subconsciously increased his initial favorability towards him.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Lord Kaido. I am a Konoha ninja and I cannot be a traitor... Lord Kaido can consider issuing tasks to us. The task completion rate of Konoha ninjas will never disappoint the employer!"
Minato declined Kaido's recruitment, but he did not forget to advertise for the village.
Although Kaido himself certainly cannot issue missions directly to Konoha Village, Kaido’s boss, Boros’ boss, Borsalino, is the biggest financial backer of Konoha Village now.
The reason why Konoha was able to recover quickly after the war was not only because Orochimaru was competent as Hokage, but also because Borsalino provided Konoha with a lot of financial support.
