"Why?
Was this old man wrong?
This isn't my era at all, but the era of your iron fist has never ended!”
Thunder Shadow stared at Carl, whose clothes had not been stained by a single speck of dust since the start of the battle. At this moment, he was like a man at the end of his rope, shouting in grief, helplessness, and unwillingness.
“……”
Carl didn't say anything. He just gently patted his black suit and smoothed out the creases on his sleeves.
"Answer me!"
Thunder Shadow saw that Carl was treating him like air and could not help but grit his teeth and roar.
"Thunder Shadow, you seem to have been mistaken about one thing.”
After Carl adjusted his black suit, he raised his head and shifted his gaze back to the third generation Thunder Shadow.
His action was like telling the third generation Thunder Shadow, all the Leaf Ninjas and Cloud Ninjas present, that the strongest Thunder Shadow in history was not as important as the crease on his sleeve.
"What did I do wrong?"
Thunder Shadow panted heavily.
He didn't know if it was because he was excited or because his body couldn't take it anymore.
His panting caused the gaping wound on his chest to expand even further.
" I left the Ninja Realm not because my era had long passed with the end of the Warring States Period, nor because there was no Ninja Village in the new era that could bear my old age.”
Carl looked at Thunder Shadow III with a gaze as calm and profound as an ancient well.
Not far away, Okami, Tanzo, Pigdeer Butterfly, and the other Kanye Ninjas held their breaths and stared at Carl.
After Carl left the mountain and witnessed the glory of the greatest hero of the Warring States Period, they all understood that Carl was not an old remnant of the era, nor did he leave the Ninja Realm because he could not find his home in the new era.
However, this made them even more curious and puzzled.
Why did a Ninja hero who ended the Warring States Period and had once possessed the highest reputation, status, wealth, and power in the Ninja Realm suddenly disappear mysteriously at the peak of his life? He did not even leave behind any news or traces.
"Then why?"
The third-generation Thunder Shadow spat out a mouthful of foul air mixed with the thick smell of blood.
"Maybe it's because I'm too powerful for ninjas like you!
Ever since I ended the Warring States Period, I realized that the new era that Piluma and Ban yearned for was boring and boring.
In order to add a little liveliness and interest to his boring life, I had once traveled to every inch of the Ninja Realm, but in the end, it became more and more empty and lonely.”
A trace of reminiscence appeared in Carl's eyes, and his voice gradually became heavy and experienced.
"Later on, this old man also understood.
The Ninja Realm of the new era was too small. Such a tiny place was so small that it could not even accommodate an old man to do all the work.
That was why I gave up on the idea of continuing to walk in the Ninja Realm. Coincidentally, Zhuma and Ban had created something called Ninja Village. After the Zhuma brothers invited me again and again, I lived in seclusion in Koba and became friends with dogs.”
With a few words from him, an invincible picture of the defeated ninjas and warriors, helpless and living in seclusion in Muye, with dogs as their friends, slowly unfolded on the battlefield between Muye and Hidden Cloud for every ninja present to see.
Whether it was Okami, Danzo, or the other Koba Ninjas, or the Cloud Ninjas like Thunder Shadow 3rd Generation and Tutai, they all felt an invincible dominance, as well as the helplessness and even sadness of not being able to find an opponent.
"Is this the reason why the Ninja Realm Hero mysteriously disappeared?”
"One person suppressing an era!"
"You have invincible iron fists, but you can't find an opponent in the new era!”
When the ninjas present understood why Carl chose to disappear after the end of the Sengoku Era and not continue to occupy the new era, they were shocked like never before.
Especially the ninjas on Koba's side, especially Tsuneo, and especially Danzo.
One of them was the granddaughter of the first generation Naruto, while the other was the disciple of the second generation Naruto.
Because of their identities, both of them knew very well how unfortunate and lucky those top-notch ninjas and samurai who were born together with Carl in the Warring States Period were.
Unfortunately, it was because Carl had suppressed an era by himself.
They were lucky because they could witness with their own eyes that there was a hero like Carl in the Ninja Realm. He could crush the ninjas and samurai of an era without relying on his family, Ninja Village, or the country.
Even the God of Ninjas and Shura of Ninja World had to rely on their own families in order to barely compete with Iron Fist.
“……”
Thunder Shadow did not say anything. He just looked at Carl with a bitter and dejected expression.
The confidence in his eyes and the arrogance in his heart were disappearing at an astonishing speed.
"So, Thunder Shadow, you should understand now.
It's not that the new era doesn't have a ninja world that can bear my weight, but this era can't bear the iron fist of the old.
The era of the Ninja Realm is changing, but the era of the old has never ended. Similarly…your era has never begun.”
Carl's every word was like an S-class profound meaning, causing the towering body of the 3rd generation Thunder Shadow to shake continuously.
