One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

The people of Iwagakure only saw a blinding white light burst forth from Giger's palm. The next second, a terrifying repulsive force, like a tsunami, surged out, instantly pushing all the ninjas away. The Tsuchikage Building collapsed into ruins.

By the time Huang Tu and the others were awakened by the arriving medical team, Ji Ge and the other two had already been gone for quite some time.

Onoki, the Tsuchikage, stared blankly at the ruins before him. He hadn't uttered a single word since waking up. Kurotsuchi, worried about Onoki's health, leaned forward and supported him.

Upon first contact, she noticed that Onoki's body was trembling slightly, and when she touched his hand, it was ice-cold. Startled, she was about to call for a medical ninja to come and treat Onoki again, but Onoki stopped her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's not cause any more panic."

After saying that, Onoki's already slightly hunched body slumped even more, he clenched his fists, and muttered to himself,

"So many years have passed, yet this feeling of powerlessness is even stronger than before. The village has become so much stronger, but I still... Sigh!!"

Onoki sighed heavily, looking even older. Kurotsuchi had never seen her grandfather so weak. You must know that Iwagakure was at its most powerful in history. Although she usually seemed to dislike Onoki, she actually respected her Tsuchikage grandfather from the bottom of her heart.

Looking at Onoki, whose eyes were downcast and who was completely lost in self-doubt, Kurotsuchi changed her usual tone and spoke softly in an extremely gentle voice.

"Grandpa, you don't need to blame yourself. This enemy was indeed too strong. Think about it, if it were Kirigakure or Sunagakure, they would be even more helpless against him in their current state!"

However, Kurotsuchi's words did not comfort Onoki; instead, they elicited a bitter smile from him, and he said...

"So what? This kind of comparison is meaningless. I just want to know which village the other person is from. They're not wearing any headbands, so they're probably not from Konoha..."

Hei Tu paused for a moment upon hearing this, and then said,

"Grandpa, why are you thinking about Konoha?"

Onoki closed his eyes, and a humiliating memory surfaced in his mind. Kurotsuchi would never understand, because she was too young to witness firsthand how powerful those two from Konoha were back then, powerful enough to suppress the entire ninja world single-handedly.

It was precisely because Onoki had witnessed it that when he encountered a ninja who was so strong that he couldn't understand it, he instinctively thought of Konoha.

Despite his thoughts, Onoki was, after all, the Kage of a village, and naturally he could not afford to become despondent. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and when he opened his eyes again, the majesty of the Tsuchikage had returned to his eyes.

News was blocked, the rubble was cleared, and the wounded were cared for. Orders were issued one after another. When everything was arranged and the crowd had dispersed, Huang Tu approached Onoki and whispered...

"Father, it seems that their purpose in coming here is only the tailed beasts. If that's the case, then other villages that possess tailed beasts will definitely be invaded by them as well. We might not be the first!"

Despite his honest and simple appearance, Huang Tu is actually quite shrewd. However, his talent is somewhat weaker than that of Kurotsuchi. Otherwise, Onoki would definitely have handed over the position of Tsuchikage to him after he stepped down.

Onoki nodded slightly, his face showing approval.

“That makes sense. So the most important thing to do now is to immediately send out intelligence ninjas to gather information on this. Their strength is so great that they will definitely leave traces once they make a move.”

At this point, Onoki couldn't help but look at the large open space in front of him, where the Tsuchikage Building had just stood.

Just as Iwagakure was in chaos, Giger, the instigator of the incident, had already arrived at Kumogakure with Lily and Kaguya.

In terms of spatial teleportation, Yomotsu Hirasaka is still more useful than Jig's Kamui, because Yomotsu Hirasaka does not require setting spatial coordinates in advance. As long as the caster's perception is strong enough, they can reach any place within the sensing range at any time.

This time, Gig and his two companions appeared directly in front of the Raikage's building. Samui, who was on his way to report to the Raikage's office, was stunned when he saw Gig and his companions walk out of the black portal. The stack of documents he was holding fell to the ground, as did the guards around him.

Giger glanced at the blonde, busty beauty not far away, pondered for a moment, and said...

"Um... your name is Assam, isn't it?"

Samui snapped out of his daze, immediately assumed a fighting stance, and said coldly,

"My name is Samui! Who are you?!"

The ninjas guarding the Raikage Building also gathered around, each staring at Gigg and his group with unfriendly expressions.

Samui, standing in the crowd, broke out in a cold sweat. Even a Kage-level ninja would be nervous facing the encirclement of a group of elite ninjas from Kumogakure. However, the three of them still looked perfectly normal.

Are they a bunch of overconfident fools? But that bizarre way they made their entrance...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in Kumogakure, Giger suddenly shook his head and said,

"The target isn't here, Kaguya. You should have found their location by now."

Kaguya replied respectfully upon hearing this.

"Yes, Lord Jigsang, I sensed the chakra of the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails here. One is in this village, and the other is at the waterfall not far away."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong figure crackling with lightning descended from the sky, his target Gig.

"Righteous Thunder and Furious Thunder Ax!!"

boom! ! !

Smoke and deafening explosions filled the air, and the Cloud Village ninjas in the field retreated one after another.

The people of Kumogakure who had retreated to the side also learned from the angry shouts that the person who had attacked was none other than their Fourth Raikage, Lord Ai!

"It's the Fourth Hokage!"

"As expected of the Fourth Hokage, the power of that attack is truly terrifying. Those three are doomed now."

"Unfortunately, I think it would be best to grab them and find out their identities first. Judging from the conversation between that man and woman, their goal seems to be the Jinchūriki of our village?"

"Your targets are Yugito and Killer Bee? How dare you! What do you take our Hidden Cloud Village for?"

As the crowd discussed the matter, the smoke in the arena gradually dissipated, and a figure shot out from it—it was none other than the Fourth Raikage, A.

Ai knelt on one knee, his face showing no joy at his success, only a solemn expression.

Seeing Ai's expression, the people of Kumogakure felt a chill in their hearts and quickly looked over. When the smoke cleared, what appeared before them were the three of them, still unharmed.
