Chapter 66: What are Celestial Dragons? Are they delicious?
In the Naruto world, the title of Kage was chosen by Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage. At the same time, Senju Hashirama wanted his friend and rival (later) Uchiha Madara to be the leader, and thinking that Uchiha Madara was good at Fire Style, he named it Hokage.
As for the name of the ninja village, Konoha, it was named by Uchiha Madara because Senju Hashirama was good at Wood Style, and Madara happened to pick up a leaf, so it was decided just like that.
As a result, when other countries established ninja villages, they followed suit and called them Kage, and it just so happened that the Five Great Shinobi Villages corresponded to the five elements of ninjutsu: Wind, Lightning, Water, Fire, and Earth!
And so, the current Five Kage came to be!
In a sense, they are also symbols of the top power-holders in the ninja world and have always been highly respected.
However, now that they, as the Five Kage, felt that they were being despised, they were naturally extremely angry.
After hearing Tsunade’s words, Uchiha Madara glanced at her and said: "You are Hashirama’s descendant, right? Did Hashirama not teach you that you should call me Grandpa when you see me?"
Hearing this, Tsunade became even more angry.
What the hell with calling you Grandpa!
We are about to go to war, and you say this—aren't you provoking me?
Yet, according to seniority, Uchiha Madara was indeed her grandfather, so she had nothing to say and could only shout: "Stop the nonsense! Didn't you want to challenge us Five Kage? Now that we are all here, let's fight!"
Lin Xuan, who was watching the live stream, saw Tsunade’s domineering appearance and clicked his tongue in praise, saying to Senju Hashirama: "Hashirama, your granddaughter’s temper doesn't seem very good. How did you teach her?"
Senju Hashirama also scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "This... I spoiled her too much when she was a child, letting her learn some bad habits. I didn't expect her to be like this when she grew up, hahaha..."
At the end, he used a loud laugh to cover up his embarrassment.
Lin Xuan curled his lips but didn't say anything more, because Uchiha Madara in the live stream was already preparing to fight the Five Kage.
Although Uchiha Madara’s interest had plummeted because Lin Xuan called the Five Kage five village chiefs, since they were all here, he could only reluctantly take action to teach them a lesson!
And so, this great battle unfolded just as it did in the original plot!
Uzumaki Naruto and the others originally wanted to stay and help, but they were refused by the Five Kage, who told them to leave and deal with the masked man—Obito—who was impersonating Uchiha Madara on the other battlefield!
The plot proceeded roughly as it did in the *Naruto* clips Lin Xuan showed Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
The difference was that this time, the Allied Shinobi Forces suffered almost no casualties after encountering Uchiha Madara, and while Uchiha Madara seemed to be beating the Five Kage, he didn't cause them any particularly serious injuries.
Moreover, Uchiha Madara masked it well, maintaining the posture of a senior expert who couldn't be bothered to argue with juniors; Yakushi Kabuto couldn't see any flaws at all!
Lin Xuan, Senju Hashirama, and Master Roshi watched Uchiha Madara’s performance with great interest.
Senju Hashirama was itching with impatience, repeatedly asking why it wasn't his turn to take the stage yet.
Lin Xuan felt a bit regretful; although the system’s "live stream" function could switch perspectives, it was limited to Uchiha Madara’s side, and the battles happening on other battlefields couldn't be seen.
Master Roshi commented on Uchiha Madara and Tsunade and the other five, sometimes exclaiming, sometimes shaking his head, completely in the manner of a grandmaster.
In fact, in this temple, there was originally another person: Gan Fall!
However, since Gan Fall couldn't see the live stream footage at all, seeing the behavior of the three of them, he suspected that Lin Xuan and the others were fools!
Later, feeling that Lin Xuan and the others had nothing to entertain him with and that there were other things in the Sky Island that needed his attention, he quietly left.
And just as Lin Xuan and the others were "watching the live stream," Aokiji, who had escaped from the Sky Island, had already returned to the Blue Sea.
However, he had clearly encountered some trouble, so he looked quite disheveled when he returned to the Blue Sea, his clothes tattered.
At this moment, Aokiji quickly rushed to an island and found the Marine garrison on the island, revealing his identity.
"Ku... Kuzan Admiral?!"
The Marine Lieutenant Colonel in charge of this Marine base looked at the disheveled Aokiji in shock. If it weren't for the Ice-Ice Fruit ability Aokiji revealed, he would have suspected that someone was impersonating a Marine Admiral!
Aokiji was too lazy to explain anything to him and just said seriously: "Contact the headquarters immediately. I have important matters to report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
"Yes!"
The Marine Lieutenant Colonel immediately responded respectfully and hurried off to prepare the communication.
While he went down to prepare, Aokiji asked a Marine Major beside him: "By the way, where is this place?"
The path he took when leaving the Sky Island was not the Knock-Up Stream that Lin Xuan and the others had used, and he had lost his way on the journey, so he didn't know where he was now.
"Reporting to the Admiral, this is Syrup Village!" the Marine Major replied loudly.
"Syrup Village?" Aokiji frowned slightly but didn't pay much attention.
Clearly, he wasn't familiar with this place.
What he didn't know was that the Straw Hat Pirates’ first pirate ship—the Going Merry, which would bring huge trouble to the Marines in the future—was born here.
Moreover, the Straw Hat Pirates were also on this island at the moment. They had just solved Captain Kuro and were staying in the village temporarily, waiting for their pirate ship to be built.
In a tavern, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp were eating and drinking when they heard someone discussing something.
"Hey, have you heard? The news that the Celestial Dragon was captured as a slave is actually true. The Marines’ denial was just to cover up the facts!"
"I heard that too. It seems the Marines later went to hunt down those two criminals, trying to rescue the Celestial Dragon, but they didn't catch them and instead suffered heavy casualties!"
"I don't know where those lunatics Uchiha Madara and Lin Xuan came from, to dare to do such a bold thing!"
Zoro, Nami, and the others felt a bit nervous listening to these discussions.
Just then, Luffy, who was eating frantically like a starving ghost, suddenly asked loudly: "What are Celestial Dragons? Are they delicious?"
Instantly, the entire tavern fell into silence!
