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 came to the beach outside the Cocoa Village.
Considering that the three teams together had too many people, especially the Whitebeard Pirates and Garp's navy, there were nearly a thousand people in these two teams alone.
In order not to cause unnecessary unrest in Konoha, Kizaru gave the three people ten places to the Land of Light each.
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 the three Whitebeards, "Everyone, are you ready to witness a miracle?"
As soon as the voice fell, a light curtain door rose out of thin air and appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this magical scene, even the well-informed Four Emperors Pirates, many people cried out in surprise.
Although the three Whitebeards looked calm, they were also surprised in their hearts. After they looked at each other, they looked at Kizaru with a little more curiosity.
How much magic does this mysterious man hide?
"Come in, everyone!" Kizaru smiled and made an invitation. On the other side of the portal, there were already arranged ninjas to receive them.
Whitebeard took the lead and walked in front. He stepped into the light curtain without hesitation and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Behind him, Marco, Ace and other sons followed their father Whitebeard and walked into the light curtain together.
After the Whitebeard Pirates, Garp took his two disciples, Coby and Bellemeber, and walked forward 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 he left, he looked at Tobirama who was standing beside him. The two did not speak, but just exchanged glances.
Entrusting the affairs of the pirate world to Tobirama, Kizaru was very relieved. He walked into the light curtain with a calm smile.
On the other side of the light curtain, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ohnoki stood side by side. They had already retreated to the second line. The two of them, who were really bored, took on the task of receiving the guests.
When the 6.66-meter-tall Whitebeard crossed the light curtain gate and appeared in front of the two, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was only 1.63 meters tall, and Ohnoki, who was 1.3 meters tall, took a breath of cold air.
Behind them, other ninjas, looking at the giant-like Whitebeard, couldn't help but exclaimed.
In front of Whitebeard, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ohnoki were like children who had not grown up yet.
Now Sarutobi Hiruzen knew why Kizaru wanted to locate the light curtain gate in the woods outside. With the height of the giant in front of him, ordinary buildings really couldn't accommodate him.
Beside Sarutobi Hiruzen, Ohnoki flew up directly, keeping the same sight as Whitebeard, and he smiled and welcomed: "Welcome to your arrival, 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 not short in height seemed much more normal.
"Hahaha, thank you for your reception." Whitebeard laughed heartily and took the initiative to step aside.
Soon, the other people in the Pirate World passed through the light curtain gate one after another, and waited for the last one, Kizaru crossed the light curtain, and the light curtain gate turned into countless photons and disappeared.
"Teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen, Senior Ohnoki, thank you for your hard work." Kizaru first greeted Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ohnoki.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Kizaru with a smile, "We are here, you don't have to worry, go back to see Tsunade and the child!"
Kizaru nodded, but did not leave directly. He walked into the streets of Konoha with everyone.
The technology in the Pirate World is not inferior to that of Naruto, and even on some islands, the level of technology is more advanced than that of the Naruto World.
Therefore, after Whitebeard and others entered Konoha, they were not surprised by the prosperous scenery here.
What really attracted the attention of Whitebeard and others were the civilians walking on the street. They noticed that most of the civilians living here were in good spirits and had smiles on their faces. They were not afraid of their appearance, but instead cast curious glances.
Some brave teenagers and children even took the initiative to come forward.
These civilians did not show any fear in front of the leader Kizaru, but were very enthusiastic. Many people took the initiative to greet Kizaru, and Kizaru smiled and nodded.
"Kizaru is very popular here, and the people here live very happily." Shanks commented after observing for a while.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was walking nearby, smiled and said after hearing Shanks' words: "Once our world was full of wars and hatred, and it was the appearance of Kizaru that ended this chaotic world."
"He unified the entire world and established a huge country."
"He abolished the privileged class of the aristocracy, enacted fair laws, established a new management 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."
Speaking of his disciples, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't stop at all, and his face was full of proud smiles.
Shanks, Whitebeard, Garp, and the others following behind them all heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's introduction. They all moved closer to Sarutobi Hiruzen and listened to Kizaru's past deeds with curiosity.
"Now, we have abolished all agricultural taxes. I can confirm 100% that no one in our country will die of hunger." Sarutobi Hiruzen said proudly.
The three Whitebeards showed a surprised look. As the top strong men on the sea, they certainly don't have to worry about the problem of hunger.
However, in their respective lives, they have seen too many poor people who died of hunger, and even the extinction of countries.
Let everyone have enough food, this is not an easy slogan. To achieve it, the difficulties and hardships involved 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 am 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 Kizaru's identity as a teacher.
After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's identity, Shanks and Whitebeard and others beside him looked at him with a little more respect.
To be able to teach a strong man like Kizaru, this old man named Sarutobi Hiruzen must have been a top-level strong man when he was young. (End of this chapter)
