Farewell 4

All of Wano Country had now turned into a complete desert. All the people were located on the sky islands and Zunesha. All mineral veins were fully extracted, and for those that couldn't be extracted, they simply opted to take the entire mountain, thanks to the power of Shiki the Golden Lion.

No efforts were spared in excavating and extracting all the existing Kairōseki in Wano, leaving no place unexplored to exploit this resource.

All the animals of Wano Country were taken to the Sky Islands, leaving Wano lifeless.

In the middle of the sea, Zunesha stood, with two enormous islands resting on top of it.

What caught everyone's attention the most were the two enormous warships floating in the sky, visible to the naked eye.

These ships were, of course, the Shadow of Aghata, which had received an upgrade. Not only were its materials changed to precious materials whose existence was unknown, but magical runes were also implanted, and all the armaments were completely replaced.

The Adeptus Mechanicus requested multiple times for Katahara to allow them the opportunity to analyze the Shadow of Aghata.

The other ship was the reconstructed ancient weapon, Pluton, a warship equipped with the best technology the Adeptus Mechanicus could offer. The most precious materials were used for its reconstruction.

Its weaponry consisted of laser cannons, as well as modified and implemented Baneblade tank cannons, all coated with Kairoseki while maintaining a unique control center.

Meanwhile, on the Shadow of Aghata.

Katahara was accompanied by Kuzan, his new bodyguard, and all the high lords.

Katahara: Prepare for the journey.

System, open the portal, Katahara thought.

At that precise moment, space began to tear apart, creating a rift that swallowed the islands, Zunesha, and the two ships.

Katahara: DESTINATION: "January 1st, 36 years before the birth of Naruto."

As everything around them turned dark, a tunnel-like structure formed seconds later, separating them from a vast space of red as far as the eye could see.

Several hours passed until they could see the end of the spatial tunnel.

Gradually, the light began to grow until they crossed a massive rift.

Mist spread over the sea, creating a mysterious and captivating atmosphere. In the distance, majestic mountains covered in dense forests rose, their peaks shrouded in fog. The sound of waves crashing against rocks created a constant melody that filled the air.

ANNOUNCEMET

This concludes the first half of the volume of "Gathering Crows" and as you can see, the remaining half of the volume will focus on the Naruto world. This second half will take a direction that perhaps not everyone will approve of or like.

I also want to give you a heads-up that I am currently working on my university thesis, so there will be no updates until approximately the end of the year or early 2024. I won't have enough time to write for a few months. It's important to note that I am not abandoning the fanfic; it will be put on hold until after I defend my thesis in December of this year. I will try to correct the grammar of the chapters on the days I have free, which will be few, so please be patient for the next update.
