Accompanying Zephyr to Pokémon Island was not only Naruto but also Hiruzen.
This had already been agreed upon.
However, Zephyr was not responsible for hosting Hiruzen for the entire visit. His personality made him ill-suited for such a role.
"You can explore the city on your own for now. Soon, someone will come to show you around this world and then another world," Zephyr said, looking at Hiruzen with a meaningful gaze.
Yesterday, after Zephyr mentioned Hiruzen's visit, Sengoku volunteered to be the host.
Knowing Sengoku's character, Zephyr was sure Hiruzen would face a tough reception.
But Zephyr didn't care. He didn't like Hiruzen much and didn't mind what treatment he received.
After leaving these words, Zephyr took Naruto away.
These Marines had been assigned their own houses, not in the Alliance residential area but in a newly built complex in the suburbs.
Zephyr was allocated a three-story house. He didn't mind the house's appearance as long as it was livable.
"Wow! Grandpa, is this our home? Am I going to live here? It's so beautiful!"
Naruto's eyes sparkled as he saw the house. Comparing his old rundown apartment to this grand house, it seemed luxurious and magnificent.
"You'll live on the third floor, I'll stay on the second floor, and Arcanine will stay with you on the third floor."
Zephyr opened the door to the house.
These military-assigned houses came fully furnished, so even though Zephyr hadn't bought any furniture, the house was still beautifully set up.
"What about the first floor?"
Naruto hugged the warm, fluffy fur around Arcanine's neck.
"The first floor is for guests. If anyone wants to stay over, the bedrooms there will serve as guest rooms."
"Oh, Grandpa, can I bring friends home to play tomorrow?"
"Sure."
Zephyr nodded, not objecting.
It was normal for kids to bring friends home to play. It wasn't like he was bringing a girlfriend home; Naruto was only eight.
Meanwhile, Hiruzen stood in the middle of the street.
The bustling scene, people's relaxed expressions, the peaceful coexistence of people and Pokémon, and the clear blue sky and distant skyscrapers all captivated him.
One thing Hiruzen couldn't ignore was that his chakra levels were suppressed to a minimal level, preventing him from even performing basic jutsu.
He felt like a frail old man, which made him uneasy and uncomfortable.
If he had known about this beforehand, he wouldn't have come.
Now, Hiruzen could only take things one step at a time. At least Dak's people hadn't shown any hostility.
"How does it feel?"
A voice came from beside him.
Hiruzen turned to see a tall man like Zephyr, dressed in a white suit with a cape that read "Justice." His presence was imposing.
Hiruzen realized this was the person sent to host him.
"Very good, a beautiful world, a beautiful city. The people here are very happy."
Hiruzen spoke from the heart.
Alliance City was what he had envisioned for the future in his younger years, though he had only managed to create a somewhat peaceful Konoha.
"Indeed, there's no war in this world, so it's very peaceful."
Sengoku nodded and extended his hand, "I'm Sengoku, the Pokémon Alliance's Navy Admiral."
"Third Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen."
Hiruzen shook Sengoku's hand, making introductions. "There's no war in this world?"
"Yes, because there's only one country, and all cities and armed forces belong to the Pokémon Alliance. There's nothing to fight over."
Sengoku nodded, explaining it as a matter of course.
"..."
Hiruzen was stunned.
The Pokémon Alliance's status was higher than he had imagined, having unified an entire world.
It was akin to unifying the entire ninja world, a goal Madara had failed to achieve and a dream Danzo once had.
He had stopped thinking about such things decades ago after realizing the reality.
"And you might have noticed, all external beings' powers are suppressed here."
Sengoku clenched his fist.
"You too?"
Hiruzen was surprised, thinking it was just him.
"Of course. This is Pokémon Island, so only Pokémon are unaffected."
Sengoku nodded.
But he didn't mention that technology also remained unaffected here. Humans using technology could match Pokémon's power, but Sengoku didn't share this with Hiruzen.
"I see."
Hiruzen understood why the place felt so peaceful.
When everyone was equally weak, no one would start fights, uncertain of their chances and fearing the consequences.
"I'll take you to see our Alliance City's Temple of Origins. It's one of the city's landmark buildings."
Sengoku suggested visiting the Temple of Origins.
Hiruzen didn't know Sengoku's intentions but would soon find out.
When Hiruzen thought they would walk, Sengoku raised a hand by the roadside.
"???"
Hiruzen's mind filled with question marks.
What was he doing? "Hello, do you need a 'Didi Pokémon' service?"
A man riding a Dodrio stopped in front of Sengoku.
"Yes, two."
Sengoku nodded.
"Alright, what kind of Pokémon would you like?"
"Hmm, two Rapidash."
Rapidash was the fifth most popular choice in 'Didi Pokémon' services.
Its soft, warm fur made for a comfortable ride, and its stamina and speed were excellent. It could run across Alliance City with no problem.
Most importantly, Rapidash was highly attractive, favored by those who valued appearances.
In the past, Sengoku wouldn't have chosen such an extravagant ride.
If it were just him, he'd pick a Dodrio or a Rhyhorn.
But today, with Hiruzen present, Sengoku couldn't afford to lose face.
"Alright, please wait three minutes."
The staff member nodded and quickly rode his Dodrio to the nearest station.
'Didi Pokémon' wasn't an Alliance-founded service but a company established by Iceberg, with Dak providing some initial ideas.
It wasn't just for moving around the city; 'Didi Pokémon' could take you to Angel City or Fishman City.
However, using it for long-distance travel was expensive and uncomfortable, so most people preferred the sea train or floating cloud airship.
"What is this?"
Hiruzen approached, curious.
"A service using Pokémon to help people travel. Alliance City is vast; walking from here could take hours."
Sengoku explained the 'Didi Pokémon' service.
They were in the food street in the southern part of the city, while the Temple of Origins was in the northeast.
"It's that big?!"
Hiruzen was shocked again.
Konoha was small enough that a fast ninja could traverse it in minutes or at most half an hour, needing no such transportation.
Just over a minute later, the staff returned with two majestic Rapidash.
"Alright, please mount up."
The staff patted the Rapidash, which obediently lowered their heads in front of Sengoku and Hiruzen.
"Thank you."
Sengoku nodded.
He pulled out his ID card and scanned it, paying 2 gold.
Then he easily mounted the Rapidash.
Given Sengoku's size, typical Rapidash from the Pokémon world would struggle to support him, but these Rapidash, raised in the pirate world, were much larger.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Hiruzen hesitate, Sengoku asked.
"Nothing."
Hiruzen, seeing Sengoku mount without getting burned, nodded and cautiously reached out.
"Don't worry, Rapidash can control their flames' temperature to avoid harming anyone."
Sengoku immediately understood Hiruzen's concern.
He had once wondered the same when first seeing Rapidash, later marveling at their unique ability.
"Amazing little horse."
Hiruzen nodded, slowly climbing onto the Rapidash and gently stroking its head.

[Space God - Palkia]
"The youngest of the Creation Trio, mastering the power of spatial laws. It is said that together with the 'Time God' Dialga, they can create passages to other worlds, being as elusive as the 'Nightmare God' Darkrai."
". . ."
Standing in the Temple of Origins, Hiruzen looked at the introduction before glancing at Sengoku beside him.
Initially, he thought Sengoku was a hospitable and just figure, but now it seemed... This man had a mind as deep as any war strategist.
Though Hiruzen hated to admit it, Sengoku gave him the impression of being a mix between himself and Danzo—both cunning and unafraid of taking bold actions.
Hiruzen took a puff from his pipe, feeling a deep sense of worry.
If the top leaders of the Pokémon Alliance were people like Dak or Zephyr, who were relatively hands-off or respectful of others' opinions, Hiruzen felt he could negotiate for an equal standing with the Pokémon Alliance.
But now...
[King of the Underworld - Giratina]
"The eldest of the Creation Trio, one of the earliest Pokémon to follow 'Creator God' Dak, creating the peaceful world of Pokémon Island. It is rumored to be the strongest among the gods."
The more Hiruzen read, the more bitter he felt.
The ninja world had no power to resist.
Even Dialga, the Time God, was beyond their capability to contend with. Not to mention there were six other deities on Pokémon Island.
Moreover, Hiruzen noticed that not all gods were benevolent.
Just as Dak, Zephyr, and Sengoku differed, among the seven deities, some Pokémon were more violent.
Judging by their titles and introductions, Hiruzen surmised that Nightmare God, Ice God, and Sandstorm God were more aggressive, while Leaf God, Time God, and Space God were more peaceful, with King of the Underworld being the neutral mediator.
Yes, in this short period, Hiruzen had already imagined the relationships and hierarchies among the seven deities, as the ninja world worked similarly, so he assumed this place was no different.
After all, the end of the road was always these sorts of things.
"This Leaf God seems quite similar to our Konoha, maybe they have a strong affinity. Surely this is a peace-loving deity?"
Hiruzen looked at the statue and introduction of Sceptile, nodding.
Yes, a peace-loving, benevolent god fit his expectations. And the name "Leaf God" made him think highly of it as the Third Hokage of Konoha.
". . . Everything you said is right."
Sengoku hesitated before nodding.
He didn't know what Hiruzen imagined, but he could guess. Many on Pokémon Island were misled by these descriptions.
The so-called 'Leaf God' Sceptile wasn't a god of peace but one of the most combative.
And 'Ice God' Lapras wasn't a cold, ruthless god but the kindest and most loving.
It was all due to the engineers from Wano Country who wrote these inscriptions after seeing battle remnants, taking wild guesses, and being quite pleased with themselves.
Only those who had been around since before the Pokémon era knew the real story.
Feeling a bit proud, Sengoku raised his chin slightly.
His only wish now was to have his statue and name in the Hall of Beginnings, immortalized forever.
"Next, I'll show you another world, a world full of oceans."
"Alright."
Hiruzen nodded, sensing nothing amiss.
But Sengoku's lips curled into a slight smile.
On Pokémon Island, he couldn't show his strength, but out on the sea, it was a different story.
Zephyr mentioned Hiruzen's reluctance to let the Pokémon Alliance's inspection team station in Konoha, and Dak didn't want to force it. So it was up to Sengoku, the Navy Admiral, to figure something out.
If Hiruzen didn't wise up...
In the pirate world.
Feeling his strength return slightly, Hiruzen looked around.
They stood on a ship that resembled a battleship, with many soldiers in white uniforms, ready and waiting.
"Where is this?"
"An inconspicuous island in the middle of the sea. Today, our navy has an operation for you to observe."
Sengoku casually said, gesturing Hiruzen to look ahead.
It was an island made entirely of cake.
They were in the New World, Totto Land, Big Mom's territory.
"That island looks..."
"Cake Island, most of the island is made of cake and can be eaten."
"What?"
"Don't be too surprised. Such places are everywhere in this sea. Each island has its own unique characteristics. If you have time, you can bring your family to tour around. Under our alliance's rule, this sea is peaceful now. Just be cautious of sea beasts and Sea Kings."
Sengoku spoke nonchalantly.
To him, a native of the pirate world, such things were not extraordinary.
But to Hiruzen, it was a completely different matter.
This was food!!!
Many people in the ninja world starved due to food shortages, and here they were making islands out of food—it was a waste!
Hiruzen clenched his fists. He had to ally with the Pokémon Alliance.
This wasn't just about allying with one organization but with two worlds. If Konoha could get supplies from Pokémon Island and the pirate world, who could challenge them?
Hiruzen's long-dormant eyes seemed to reignite with hope.
A person's demeanor changes when they see hope versus when they don't.
Boom!!!
As Hiruzen was lost in thought, a huge mushroom cloud rose on Cake Island.
Amidst the dispersing cloud, two figures appeared in the sky.
A man in a red suit, lava surging from his body, stood on a flying Charizard, raining down magma punches.
Such an attack was like a meteor shower. Hiruzen couldn't imagine how Konoha could withstand it.
He could ensure his survival but not Konoha's safety.
"Who is that?"
"That's one of our three Admirals, 'Akainu' Sakazuki, and his Pokémon partner, Charizard."
Sengoku calmly introduced, adding with a hint of meaning, "Sakazuki represents the hawks in our navy, advocating for aggressive policies and a tough stance towards others."
Hiruzen's eyebrows twitched.
As expected, the Pokémon Alliance's higher-ups weren't all easy to deal with.
He looked up at the figure in the sky and sighed inwardly.
'It seems I need to reconsider my previous decision.'
Observing Hiruzen, Sengoku smirked.
"What's going on?"
"Oh, Cake Island is the territory of a notorious pirate. For years, they've committed many crimes, and the Pokémon Alliance has deemed them 'criminals.' Our navy, upholding justice, is here to punish them."
Sengoku waved to a sailor who handed him a wanted poster, "Here, 'Big Mom' Charlotte Linlin, with a bounty of 4.388 billion Berries, one of the strongest pirates. Her strength might surpass Sakazuki's, but with Charizard's help, victory is assured."
Hiruzen took the poster, seeing a ferocious, ambitious face.
He sighed again, realizing this world had many powerful beings.
If even an Admiral was this strong, the Admiral beside him was undoubtedly powerful. Not to mention, there were three Admirals.
And Zephyr, whom Dak referred to as the 'No-Kill Admiral,' must be formidable too.
The more Hiruzen learned about this world and the Pokémon Alliance, the less he felt like resisting.
He couldn't let Konoha be destroyed by his actions.
"That Charizard looks powerful."
"Of course. It came from our alliance's breeding base, quite high level, almost Elite Four level. It seems to like Sakazuki, choosing to partner with him. But it's Sakazuki's only partner because his overbearing nature isn't popular among Pokémon."
Sengoku shrugged.
"Elite Four level?"
"That's a Pokémon level. The new Pokédex explains both Pokémon and trainer levels. If you have the funds, you can buy one and study it."
"Oh, I already have a Pokédex, just haven't had time to look at it."
Hiruzen nodded, noting Sengoku's words.
He initially thought the Pokédex was just a VIP status symbol, but it contained such valuable information. He needed to take it seriously.
"This battle won't end quickly. Let me show you our alliance's eight major gyms."
