Naruto: I Have a Gravity Training Room-Chapter 450 - 448

Another day, and Natsuki, Tobirama, and Minato used Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) to flash a whole group straight into the Land of Iron.

This time, Konoha's delegation for the accession ceremony included Natsuki, Sasuke, Naruto, and Neji—plus four Hokage. Shikamaru came along as an office adviser, and they also brought an ANBU escort squad.

As for the village's safety, that was left to Jiraiya and Kakashi. The security force would be temporarily led by Shino, and the major clans would provide auxiliary support.

And Tenten had been ordered to stay home on leave—if anything happened, she'd send an immediate paper-tag message. There was no need to worry about Konoha's security.

A, Ōnoki, Mei, and Gaara had already arrived.

After all, they couldn't use Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God), so they had to reach the shinobi venue early.

A didn't bother with pleasantries. The moment he came up, he said, "Hiraishin really is convenient. Think you could teach it to some of our village's youngsters, too?"

Ōnoki, Mei, and Gaara all jolted—none of them expected A to actually say that out loud, and he didn't sound like he was joking even a little.

What shocked them even more was that Natsuki simply nodded and agreed. "Of course. Pick a few boys with aptitude for space-time, and their character has to be solid. I don't mind passing it on."

Tsunade and the others, hearing that, didn't object.

Because there was a great enemy outside. Right now, everyone was tied to the same rope—one grasshopper chain. They should be open and straightforward.

If every major village had people who could use Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God), then whether it was communication or reinforcements, everything would become vastly easier.

Everyone was moved by Konoha's righteousness. For a moment, they just stared, a little stunned.

Ōnoki gritted his teeth. "Then Iwagakure will also send people to learn Hiraishin. And I'll put our Yōton (Lava Release) secret techniques on the table as well—your other villages can send outstanding young shinobi to learn them!"

He hadn't offered Jinton (Particle Style) outright, but for the stubborn old Ōnoki, this was already a massive step.

Clearly, he understood it too: in the face of peace in the shinobi world, a mere secret art was nothing.

If you wanted trust, you had to show sincerity.

A threw back his head and laughed. "Hahahaha! Ōnoki, you're quicker on the uptake than I am! Then my Raiton (Lightning Release) Chakra Mode—I won't mind sharing that either~!"

Seeing the momentum, Gaara spoke decisively. "Sand Manipulation, and our Jiton (Magnet Release) secret techniques—Sunagakure can share them as well."

Mei flicked her hair back, charming as ever. "I have Yōton (Lava Release) and Futton (Boil Release). You can arrange good seedlings to come learn from me too. And it'd be best if you send a few handsome guys—teacher-student romance really isn't so bad."

At Mei's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The last time Mei had come to attend a wedding, she really had tried hard to strike up conversations with Konoha's single jōnin. But she'd been too enthusiastic, and her intentions were way too obvious—she scared a lot of them off. In the end, she didn't land even one.

Still, she truly was beautiful and alluring, and there were definitely people who liked her.

She was just too impatient—desperate to get married. And now she was even setting her sights on future students.

It was hard not to find it absurd.

"Since everyone is showing such righteousness, then the Land of Iron's kenjutsu can be shared as well!"

Mifune walked over, looking bold and high-spirited.

Obviously, in the face of the shinobi world's crisis, everyone had firmly united. Old grudges were set aside, and no one planned to hoard their secret arts anymore. First, protect the shinobi world—everything else could wait.

Natsuki believed that with everyone this united, they would absolutely defeat the Ōtsutsuki and protect the shinobi world!

After that, everyone, together with Mifune, finalized the accession ceremony process for the Shinobi World Grand Alliance—especially discussing and amending any potential problems in the covenant.

During this period, delegates from various nations and villages arrived one after another.

That included Shibuki and Fū from Takigakure, Konan from Amegakure, and others. Even some neutral or remote countries and villages sent people—whether or not they joined in the end, they still wanted to witness this major event.

The daimyō arrived last.

They were basically useless, and their airs were enormous.

But they had all been caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, so they understood how serious things were. As a result, they largely raised no objections.

After all, if the shinobi world ended, they and their descendants wouldn't be able to continue living in luxury. And since they relied on shinobi protection, they didn't dare block the shinobi on matters of fundamental right and wrong.

When the time came, the accession ceremony officially began.

As Konoha was the largest representative, Tsunade spoke first, once again recounting everything about the Fourth Shinobi World War—emphasizing the threat of the extraterrestrial Ōtsutsuki, emphasizing the crisis facing the shinobi world, and emphasizing the importance of the Shinobi World Grand Alliance.

After that, Hashirama—the God of Shinobi—read the covenant aloud.

The covenant was long, but boiled down, it was essentially a few points:

First, the Grand Alliance would not interfere in the internal affairs of member nations or villages. If someone faced difficulties, they could also seek help from the Alliance.

Second, every nation and village must ensure they do not launch wars of external aggression. The Grand Alliance rejected all meaningless internal infighting. If anyone violated this, the Alliance would condemn them—and would even step in directly to stop them.

Third, it emphasized the Grand Alliance's main mission: to develop together and make ample preparations to respond to any future Ōtsutsuki invasion.

In addition, the matter of investigating the Ōtsutsuki would be put on the agenda. Nations and villages would form investigative teams; everyone should participate actively, working together to eliminate any hidden threats to the shinobi world's safety.

After that, Natsuki, Sasuke, Neji, and Naruto—four great heroes—stepped forward, and the three revived Hokage did as well.

Those countries and villages that didn't fully understand the situation saw how powerful Konoha was. Yet Konoha hadn't unified the shinobi world, hadn't pursued hegemony—rather, they were forming an alliance. You could call it sincerity in the extreme.

And the strength they displayed really did make people feel at ease.

So, many nations and villages were tempted, and one after another, they left their names on the accession scroll.

Perhaps a few countries or villages didn't participate, but that didn't hinder the ceremony's success. From this day on, the Shinobi World Grand Alliance was truly established!

"…Good. Now we can start the investigation targeting Ōtsutsuki Isshiki."

Natsuki thought silently to himself, even as his gaze swept across every unfamiliar face present.

Unfortunately, he hadn't watched Boruto, so he didn't know anything about Isshiki's forces or members. That meant he had no "foreknowledge advantage" at all—(for him) the only things he could rely on were the Alliance's intelligence capabilities and his own overwhelming strength.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had endured and hidden for over a thousand years. He absolutely already had eyes and ears spread everywhere.

So he definitely knew about the Grand Alliance.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would absolutely lie low and stay hidden. Unless he had complete confidence he could wipe out the Grand Alliance, he wouldn't appear rashly.

After the accession ceremony ended, the delegates from various nations and villages used the opportunity to discuss cooperative trade arrangements.

Konan, representing the Land of Rain, signed a water-resource trade agreement with Gaara's Land of Wind. The unit price for water was very cheap, leaving the Land of Wind extremely satisfied. And with the Land of Wind placing massive orders, the Land of Rain—already not lacking in water—was delighted as well.

It was true win-win cooperation.

In addition, to ensure the Land of Rain could be fed, Konan also signed a grain trade agreement with the Land of Fire.

The money from selling water was enough to buy enormous quantities of food. The people of the Land of Rain would never have to go hungry again.
