Chapter 354: Marine Headquarters: The Navy Alliance and the Konoha Family have been friendly for generations, they must be protected!

If there were not enough rewards,

those players would certainly prefer to wait until Konoha is destroyed before appearing to hunt the pollution.

This would absolutely be a massive wave of Reward Points,

and it would even require consuming all the private accumulated Reward Points of the Konoha Family and every Ninja Clan to make up the amount.

However,

at such a desperate moment, unless one can watch Konoha be destroyed with their own eyes, there is no other path to take.

"Everyone, make your choice!"

Nara Shikaku had a complex expression as he said: "Is it to break away from the Konoha Family now and defect to other unfamiliar forces only to be eaten and scraped clean, or to gamble once, take out all the accumulated Reward Points, and protect Konoha Village?"

"The Hokage's handwritten letter has already provided a guarantee."

"He has already sold off all the assets of the Sarutobi clan and made the ninjas of the Sarutobi family take out all their Reward Points."

"If the various clans are willing to protect Konoha, after the crisis is overcome, Konoha Village will do its utmost to compensate every Ninja Clan!"

"Regardless of whether he survives this war, his successor cannot change this directive of his."

When Hiruzen Sarutobi wrote this letter, he felt very helpless.

After occupying the Land of Hot Water,

his thinking had always been to suppress the Ninja Clans, consolidate power, and keep Konoha Village firmly in his own hands, allowing Konoha Village to rise through his own will.

But now, he had to make a promise to return the power he had worked so hard to seize back to the Ninja Clans.

Helpless,

this was all so the Ninja Clans would be willing to pay up and avoid the fate of Konoha being destroyed.

"I am willing."

A Ninja Clan Head sighed deeply and agreed to contribute Reward Points.

It was indeed as Nara Shikaku said; if they defected to other forces, they would likely be accepted, but what awaited them would be those wolf-like other Ninja Clans devouring them completely.

This is very common in the ninja world, so generally, unless they were truly driven to a dead end, even the Uchiha of the past never thought about fleeing their entire clan to another Ninja Village.

Hyuga Hiashi gritted his teeth and said: "I am also willing. I hope the Hokage's promise holds true and that you do not deceive us."

With two Ninja Clan Heads stepping forward, the other high-ranking members of the Ninja Clans also responded one after another.

Their faces were reluctant.

But there was no other way.

If it were someone like Orochimaru or other Ninja Villages attacking Konoha, they would absolutely not have agreed so easily.

Like when Orochimaru occupied the Land of Fire and Konoha, the Ninja Clans did not immediately follow Hiruzen Sarutobi away, but instead made plans to wait for a better price.

It was not until that madman Orochimaru wanted to completely eliminate the Ninja Clans and spread the craze of universal chakra practice that they began to rebel.

To the Ninja Clans, Hokages are like flowing water, while the clans are like iron.

But now it is different; what is attacking Konoha is an Abyss Evil God with whom there is no possibility of negotiation, knowing only slaughter and possessing no reason at all.

If Konoha is completely destroyed by such a monster,

losing their base, the Ninja Clans would have no bargaining chips left and could only be carved up by the forces that come to pick up the scraps later.

Therefore, they could only compromise and could only take out their Reward Points to hand over to the Konoha Family.

Marine Headquarters,

the solemn and magnificent-looking Marineford remained a small island like a fortress.

At the very center was the word "Navy" written in black ink, along with a seagull emblem symbolizing peace.

At Sengoku's strong request, several circles were added around the seagull emblem, wrapping around the seagull, signifying the infinite world of the Samsara Game.

On the outskirts of the island,

were thick and Sturdy giant 【City Walls (Iron Wall) Lv. 11】, corresponding to the level of the 【Navy Alliance】, already at the current highest level.

Furthermore,

these city walls possessed the 【Iron Wall】 attribute, which could additionally increase defense on top of the 【Basic Attribute】 of the walls.

Just this city wall protecting the Navy Alliance cost a full million Reward Points.

Although there was no strongest player sitting in command, there were five top-tier players capable of hard-tanking Lord Monsters, as well as countless mid-level Navy players.

The overall strength of the Navy Alliance could be called the number one in the entire Samsara Game Space, something even the Land of Fire controlled by Orochimaru could not compare to.

The former treats the Navy as potential seeds to be cultivated,

while the latter uses chakra and Cursed Seals to control civilians as experimental materials; they certainly cannot be compared.

"Everyone, I think not only me, but you should have also received the news from the Konoha Family in the ninja world that they have been attacked by an Evil God, as well as their request for help."

"We are now discussing whether we should go to rescue them?"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat at the head of the table, his palm resting casually on the goat head beside his feet, appearing relaxed,

but in reality, he was serious inside, even feeling a slight palpitation. The 【Evil God Attacks Konoha】 incident,

although very similar to the combat mode of a Family Defense Battle, both being pollution monsters attacking a family.

But every time a defense battle is triggered by a family upgrade, the pollution monsters never exceed the family's ability to withstand them; as long as they put forth all their strength, the worst case is a mutual destruction.

One can even pick up a large amount of drops and Reward Points to recover.

But the Abyss Evil God encountered by the Konoha Family this time is more like a randomly refreshed pollution boss.

Not only was the warning time pitifully short, but the monster's strength was so great that even Sengoku felt a chill just looking at it.

If the Abyss Evil God appeared at Marine Headquarters, Sengoku would not have the confidence to kill it.

This uncertainty was the root of his palpitation; who knows when Marine Headquarters might also be suddenly attacked, and what should be done then?

"I refuse to rescue them."

Akainu, with a rose brooch pinned to his chest, said with a cold expression: "The Konoha Family is very strong. If we can take this opportunity to let the Evil God destroy the Konoha Family, the Samsara Game will have a very large amount of resources available, which is a good thing for our Navy."

"Furthermore, according to the past updates of the Samsara Game."

"The Ninja World, Sea World, Demon Slayer and Claymore Island, as well as the newly emerged Yiren World, and the Nine Great Mission Worlds, are bound to gradually merge together."

"At that time, without the obstruction of world walls, the Konoha Family will be our enemy."

The philosophy he upheld had always been absolute justice.

With the interests of the Marine Headquarters as the highest priority.

When the worlds truly merge in the future, having a powerful competitor like the Konoha Family right beside one's bed is definitely not a good thing.

Moreover,

Being defeated by a yellow-haired brat from the Konoha Family, that feeling is not pleasant.

Now asking him to help the enemy? How could that be possible!

"The most critical point is that once outside the range of the Marine Headquarters, Navy players will die for real!"

"According to the danger level of the Abyss Evil God, it is very likely that there will be very heavy casualties, which would definitely be a huge loss to the combat power of the Marine Headquarters."

Akainu spoke with great reason,

Most high-ranking generals nodded repeatedly; they also did not want the Navy players they had worked hard to cultivate to die in battle protecting civilians of another world.

Only Fleet Admiral Sengoku had an inscrutable expression, which did not change because of their words.

Instead, he was thinking of something deeper.

After a while, Fleet Admiral Sengoku said with a serious expression: "Everyone is right; according to normal logic, the death of the Konoha Family has nothing to do with us."

"But have you all considered that the appearance of the Abyss Evil God might not just be this one time?"

"In the future, there might be more and more Pollution Monsters descending into reality."

"Although other families are our enemies in terms of competing for game resources, do not forget the original intention of the Game Merchant in founding this game!"

"Our true enemies are those endless Pollution Monsters."

"Who knows, this time it is Konoha Village, next time it could be the Marine Headquarters!"

"If we all maintain a stance of mutual vigilance and refusal to cooperate, it will very likely violate the core of the Samsara Game."

From beginning to end,

The plot of the Pirate World revolved around the Straw Hat Pirates, making the Navy look like the villains.

But except for scum like Colonel Nezumi, most Navy members joined the Navy ranks with hearts full of justice and the ideal of protecting the world and its civilians.

"Staff Officer Tsuru has inquired about what once happened in the Ninja World Novice Village."

"During a Pollution Monster siege, it was only when the opposing players joined forces that they defeated the Underworld Wanderer; otherwise, the entire Ninja World Novice Village of the Samsara Game would have been destroyed."

"To the Game Merchant, it is of no consequence; at most, they would just rebuild a Samsara Game."

"But if this scene were to happen in reality, it would be the end of the world!"

Sengoku's expression was extremely serious,

Although it was just a guess, it did not prevent things from developing toward the worst possibility; after all, the Abyss Evil God had already appeared, and there were signs of this.

"The justice that we of the Navy uphold is not merely the vast sea, and certainly not just the Sea World!"

Sengoku's gaze landed on the seagull emblem that symbolized peace across all worlds.

"Since no faction is willing to take the lead, then let it start with the Marine Headquarters; we shall extend an olive branch of justice and patrol the Samsara World!"

"Carry out justice!"

"Let the name of the Navy resound throughout the Samsara World!"
