Chapter 424: First Encounter with the Naruto World
After ten o'clock the next morning, led by Kizaru himself, Garp, Whitebeard, Shanks, and their men arrived at the beach outside Cocoyasi Village.
Considering that the number of people in the three teams combined is too large, especially the Whitebeard Pirates and Garp's Navy, there are nearly a thousand people in these two teams alone.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary unrest in Konoha, Kizaru gave each of the three people ten places to go to the Land of Light.
As for the remaining pirates and navy who followed, they were all there to see off their respective captains.
Standing on the soft beach, Kizaru looked at Whitebeard and the other two, "Everyone, are you ready to witness a miracle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a light curtain door rose out of thin air and appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this magical scene, even many people from the Four Emperors Pirate Group, who are experienced in the field, cried out in surprise.
Although Whitebeard and the other two had calm expressions, they were equally surprised inside. After they looked at each other, they looked at Kizaru with a little more curiosity.
How many magical things does this mysterious man hide?
"Please come in, everyone!" Kizaru smiled and made an invitation. On the other side of the portal, there were already arranged ninjas to be in charge of reception.
Whitebeard took the lead and walked in front. Without any hesitation, he stepped into the light curtain and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Behind him, his sons, Marco, Ace and others followed their white-bearded father and walked into the light curtain.
After the Whitebeard Pirates, Garp walked forward with his two disciples, Coby and Bellemer, and entered the light curtain.
His adjutant chose to stay and manage the navy stationed here.
"It's our turn." Shanks said to his companions behind him, and finally walked into the light curtain with ten companions.
After waiting for Shanks and the others to leave, Kizaru walked to the front of the light curtain. Before leaving, he looked at Tobirama who was standing beside him. The two did not speak, but just communicated with their eye contact.
Kizaru felt very relieved to entrust the affairs of the pirate world to Tobirama. He walked into the light curtain with a calm smile.
On the other side of the light curtain, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ōnoki stood side by side. The two men, who had retreated to the second line and were really bored, took on the task of this reception.
When the 6.66-meter-tall Whitebeard stepped through the light curtain gate and appeared in front of the two men, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was only 1.63 meters tall, and Ōnoki, who was 1.3 meters tall, all gasped.
Behind them, other ninjas couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they saw Whitebeard who was as big as a giant.
In front of Whitebeard, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ōnoki were like children who had not yet grown up.
Now Sarutobi Hiruzen understood why Kizaru placed the light curtain gate in the woods outside. Given the height of the giant in front of him, an ordinary building would not be able to accommodate him.
Next to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Ōnoki flew up and kept his sight level with Whitebeard. He smiled and welcomed them, "Welcome, friends from the sea."
While Ohnoki was speaking, behind Whitebeard, his sons also walked out of the light curtain gate one after another.
Compared to Whitebeard, the few people who were also not short in height looked much more normal.
"Hahaha, thank you for your reception." White Beard laughed heartily and took the initiative to step aside.
Soon, other people in the pirate world passed through the light curtain gate one after another. Finally, Kizaru stepped over the light curtain, and the light curtain gate turned into countless photons and disappeared.
"Teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen, Senior Ōnoki, thank you for your hard work." Kizaru first greeted Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ōnoki.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kizaru with a smile, "We are here, don't worry, go back to see Tsunade and the child!"
Kizaru nodded, but did not leave immediately. He walked into the streets of Konoha with everyone else.
The technology in the world of pirates is not inferior to that in Naruto. In fact, on some islands, the level of technological development is even higher than that in the world of Naruto.
Therefore, when Whitebeard and others entered Konoha, they were not surprised by the prosperous scenery here.
What really caught the attention of Whitebeard and others were the civilians walking on the streets. They noticed that most of the civilians living here were in good health and had smiles on their faces. They were not afraid of their appearance, but instead looked at them with curiosity.
There were even some brave teenagers and children who came forward on their own initiative.
These civilians did not show any fear towards their leader Kizaru. Instead, they were very enthusiastic. Many of them took the initiative to greet Kizaru, and Kizaru smiled and nodded in response.
"Kizaru is very popular here, and the people here live a happy life." Shanks commented after observing for a while.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was walking nearby, smiled and said after hearing Shanks' words: "Our world was once full of war and hatred. It was the appearance of Kizaru that ended this chaotic world."
"He united the world and built a huge country."
"He abolished the privileged aristocracy, enacted fair laws, established a new administrative system, and truly achieved equality for all."
"He also invested heavily in education, scientific research, agriculture and other fields, making our country change almost every year."
When talking about his disciple, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't stop and his face was full of proud smile.
Shanks, Whitebeard, Garp, and the others following behind them all heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's introduction. They all moved closer to Sarutobi Hiruzen, listening curiously to Kizaru's past deeds.
"Now that we have abolished all agricultural taxes, I can confirm 100% that no one will die of hunger in our country." Sarutobi Hiruzen said proudly.
The three Whitebeards showed surprised expressions. As the most powerful people in the sea, they certainly didn't have to worry about going hungry.
However, in their respective lives, they have seen too many poor people die of hunger, and even countries disappear.
Ensuring that everyone has enough food to eat is not an easy slogan to achieve. The difficulties and hardships involved in achieving it are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Old senior, what is your name?" Shanks was a little moved. This unruly pirate wanted to know more about this country.
"My name is Sarutobi Hiruzen, and I'm Kizaru's teacher." When Sarutobi Hiruzen talked about his identity, he no longer mentioned his former identity as Hokage. What he liked to talk about most now was his identity as Kizaru's teacher.
After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's identity, Shanks and Whitebeard and others beside him looked at him with a little more respect.
Being able to teach a strong man like Kizaru, this old man named Sarutobi Hiruzen must have been a top-notch strong man when he was young. (End of this chapter)
