Pittman...

Sakai is no stranger to this name.

In the town of Kitankaku, Kawanokuni, Sakai once followed the advice of an ordinary friend who was an ordinary painter in painting and came to visit a painter with excellent skills, who was Pittman.

But in Pittman's home, Sakai finds a gruesome painting called "The Ghoul in Eating" and Pittman himself, who has become a ghoul.

Pittman used paintings to record his transformation into a ghoul, and finally used delayed exposure photos to record his final transformation into a ghoul, completing those shocking horror paintings.

After that, Sakai fought a large number of ghouls hiding under the town of North Point, but fortunately, he was able to escape with the support of Kankuro.

However, after that, Sakai never heard from the ghoul Pittman, and he copied the appearance of the ghoul in his memory when he was fine.

......

At the suggestion of Uchiha Itachi, Tsunade and Jirai, who have gathered a thousand-strong ninja force, meet with the ghouls of the underworld.

The place where they first met was at the entrance to the underground world, and the people who came out on the side of the ninja force were Jiraiya, Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke, Sakai, and Kakashi, a total of five people.

And the ghoul side dispatched dozens of ghouls, including Pittman.

Although the ghouls in the dream realm do not have much malice towards humans, it does not mean that ghouls can be friendly to humans, so the ghoul side did not abide by the principle of fair negotiation and brought several times more ghouls than the Jiraiya side.

In the real world, there are no more ghouls, but in a world where chakra cannot be used, ghouls are still very oppressive.

Fortunately, when it was time for the formal meeting, almost all of the ghouls were waiting at the dark entrance of the crypt, and only five ghouls, including Pittman, came out to interview Jiraiya and the others.

Jiraiya, as a representative, said that the human ninja side could help their clan fight off the moon beasts, and the appeal was to borrow a passage to the real world.

Four of the elder-level ghouls seemed to take Jiraiya's proposal very seriously, and turned around and walked back to the group of ghouls in the distance, seemingly to negotiate for a while, leaving only Pittman alone.

Looking at Pittman, Sakai remembered what he had seen when he was in North Point.

At that time, Pitman had just eaten human flesh, and his frenzied appearance was a completely uncommunicative monster.

Now, Pittman's overall appearance is not really human, but his behavior seems to be much more intelligent, and he can at least be classified as a "monster with intelligence".

At this time, Pitman also saw Sakai, so he said, "You... Have I seen you somewhere? ”

Sakai replied, "North Point Town? ”

After Sakai's reminder, Pitman suddenly realized.

"I see, you are the one who came to visit that time, and we are really destined."

"But I apologize for my rude behavior last time, and I hope it didn't scare you."

"But now you don't need to worry, since I believed in Nordens, the King of the Great Abyss, my whole body feels much better!"

Hearing that Pittman still considers himself a "human", Sakai can't help but feel a little funny.

And Uchiha Itachi is used to Pittman's attitude, and now Pittman is a devout believer who is constantly trying to promote to others the ancient god Nordens who he says is omnipotent.

The old god Nordens, based on the experience of Uchiha Itachi living in the fantasy realm over the years, believes that this old god Nordens is very similar to the old ruler, but it is slightly different.

Legend has it that the old god Nordens is believed to be in opposition to another ruler of the Dream Realm.

As for the other ruler, it is a name that ordinary people dare not mention.

For if the slightest disrespect is revealed to Him, it will be pursued by his servant Terror Hunter in a never-ending manner.

...

After a period of discussion among the ghouls, the four elder-level ghouls finally returned, bringing the news that they had agreed to cooperate with the ninjas, and informing Jiraiya and the others of the details of cooperation.

When Jiraiya returns, immediately prepare all the ninjas for battle.

Although there is no way to obtain supplies in this world, because of their imagination, ninjas can create some simple and small ninja tools in the real world through imagination, such as kunai and shuriken.

Although it is impossible to create infinite kunai and shuriken by imagination, everyone at least has a weapon to fight.

...

At the appointed time, under the leadership of Pittman, a ninja force of 1,000 people marched to the battle site.

In the Dreamland, the most conventional way to get from the Moon to Earth is to cross the Aetheric Sea in between by sailboat.

But in addition, in the underground world of the Dream Realm, there is a special space tunnel between the Earth and the Moon.

In a spacious underground cavern, ninjas such as Tsunade and Jiraiya saw this huge lake hidden underground.

The ghoul elder explained that this underground lake is a spatial tunnel between the Earth and the Moon, and that you can reach the Moon by passing through the lake.

Similarly, moon-dwelling moonbeasts sometimes sneak up on Earth to catch ghouls and commit violent abuses.

So every year at about the same time, the ghouls and the moon beasts engage in a large-scale battle.

Although the strength of the ghoul race is slightly weaker, with the worship of the ancient god Nordens, they can control Nordens' slave, the Dire, to help in the battle, so they basically can't lose.

Correspondingly, in order to obtain the help of the Dire, some sacrifices were also made to Nordens as an expression of the race's worship of them.

But this year, with the help of ninjas, there is no need for Dire.

Hearing this, Jiraiya determined in his heart that this battle was not an existential battle for ghouls, and ghouls just needed some wage earners.

The ninja's appeal was much less expensive than the sacrifice to Nordens, so the ghoul chose the ninja as the worker.

In addition, Jiraiya heard Uchiha Itachi say that this is almost a mirror world of the earth, and many places are similar to the earth, which makes Jiraiya have another doubt.

That is, there is a space tunnel hidden in an underground lake between the Earth and the Moon in the dream world, so will there be one on the earth?

After the pleasantries, Tsunade and Jiraiya command the ninjas to line up around the lake.

It was only at this time that the two discovered that the ghouls almost did not line up in formation, and the number of them was only about a hundred or so, and with shoddy weapons, the combat effectiveness was completely insufficient.

It seems that this war can only be won by the ninja's own strength.

At the same time, the lake's waters glow with a yellowish glow like a bright moon.
