The terrifying oppression emanating from the world's strongest man caused two Konoha's Chunin to break out in cold sweat, as if they were facing the most horrifying entity in the ninja world.
Even though Whitebeard did not use his Conqueror's Haki.
Yet, the aura of a king who has crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, even a slight leakage, is enough to make one's heart tremble with fear.
It's not something two Chunin can withstand.
The tense atmosphere made their hands sweat. According to the theoretical knowledge they learned in the ninja school, they should quickly take out Kunai and hold a Shuriken in their hands.
In this way.
They can respond to crisis situations at any time.
But under these circumstances...
They have even forgotten the theoretical knowledge they once knew by heart, and can only keep retreating.
Until...
Their backs are pressed against the closed door of the Konoha Village.
There is no more room for retreat.
"The... The Konoha Village has rules..." One of the young Chunin, who looks no more than twenty years old, his voice trembling: "Ordinary people at night... are not allowed to..."
"Gurararara!" Whitebeard interrupted: "So-called rules are meant to be broken!"
Would a pirate care about rules?
Impossible!
Under the stunned gaze of two Konoha's Chunin, Whitebeard wielded his Murakumogiri, and slashed towards the Konoha Village gate with one stroke.
The Konoha Village gate that could withstand several ninjutsu...
Instantly became as soft as tofu.
A straight gap appeared on the gate. After a few shakes, the gate directly collapsed!
This way of opening the door...
Is too violent!
"Foolish son!" Whitebeard turned his head and said to Naruto who was also a little stunned behind him: "What are you dazing at?"
"Oh! Coming, Pops!" For some reason, Naruto had no objection to Whitebeard's violent method.
On the contrary...
He feels a bit excited!
The large and small figures, under the horrified gaze of two Konoha's Chunin, step by step away from the Konoha Village.
They dare not stop them.
"Pops, when your body is healed, we will return to the Konoha Village!" Naruto, who is truly leaving the village for the first time, said enthusiastically: "Pops, when do you think we can come back?"
"Gurararara! At most one year!" Whitebeard grinned and laughed: "In one year, you little brat will have to go to school."
"As your pops, I must protect my foolish son's dream! Don't say stupid things like giving up dreams for me anymore!"
Naruto asked with doubt and worry: "But, Pops... Can we find that medical ninja called Tsunade within a year?"
"Of course! Definitely! Absolutely!"
Whitebeard laughed confidently.
"You stupid son, as long as you know that when you go to school in a year, don't become the weakest of the school!"
"Okay, Pops! I will definitely be the strongest!"
Naruto is full of energy.
...
The next day,
Noon.
"Cough, cough!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's consciousness was blurred and he kept coughing. As the cough became more intense, his consciousness gradually became clear.
Until he tried hard to open his tired eyelids, he found that what he saw was a white ceiling and smelled the smell of disinfectant.
"Hokage-sama? Are you awake?" A familiar voice came from the side.
Sarutobi Hiruzen just wanted to turn his head to look.
As a result, the severe soreness in his neck muscles made his face twitch. Helplessly, he could only maintain this posture of staring at the ceiling.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was complicated.
He has realized where he is now.
He can even...
Hear who the familiar voice is.
"Kakashi, how long have I been asleep?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was slightly hoarse, after all, he hadn't drunk a drop of water for a long time.
"One night and one morning." Kakashi has been staying here all the time. He responded: "Almost twelve hours!"
Twelve hours...
How embarrassing!
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but laugh at himself. He believed that if he were ten years younger, he would definitely be able to fight Whitebeard evenly.
With the help of Enma, maybe he could even take down the opponent.
But as an old man himself, whether it's reaction speed or chakra volume or physical function, they all start to decline severely.
Not as good as before!
"Naruto?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly thought of Naruto and his tone became anxious.
"Gone." Kakashi responded: "According to the two Chunin guarding the main gate, Whitebeard forcibly took Naruto away from the Konoha Village. The main gate of the Konoha Village was chopped down by him."
Jinchuriki...
Ran away?
Gone?
Sarutobi Hiruzen almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood. When the First Hokage divided the Tailed Beasts among various villages and only left Nine Tails for Konoha Village. From then on, Nine Tails was equivalent to Konoha Village's private property.
At the same time, it is also an extraordinary terrifying force for Konoha Village. Once Naruto can establish a bond with Nine Tails in the future and skillfully use Nine Tails' power...
Then for their Konoha Village, there will be an extra Kage-level powerhouse.
Even...
Stronger than ordinary Kage!
However,
Naruto ran away, which means Nine Tails is gone. This means that such a powerhouse is gone. It means that Konoha Village's future has been cut off.
"You... none of you went to chase Naruto back?" Sarutobi Hiruzen struggled to twist his neck. Even if he was lying on a hospital bed, his eyes were still very sharp.
Kakashi's dead fish eyes didn't change much in expression. His answer was very versatile: "Without Hokage-sama's instructions, I'm afraid that acting on my own will cause trouble."
Sarutobi Hiruzen almost burst his lungs with anger.
That is to say...
During this period of time when I was in a coma, Kakashi didn't take any measures at all and watched Naruto run away with his own eyes?
"Kakashi... have you always held a grudge against me?" Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath: "Because of the Sakumo incident?"
"Hokage-sama, you're overthinking." Kakashi calmly replied.
"Then go after them!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's emotions were slightly agitated, and he felt his muscles aching all over: "This is an order from me, the Hokage!"
"..." Kakashi's mouth twitched.
You think too highly of me, don't you?
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
...
In the Uchiha clan compound,
"Brother, you're back!" Sasuke quickly threw away the wooden Kunai in his hand and looked at Itachi with a surprised face: "Brother, why did you come back so early today?"
Uchiha Itachi quickly hid his complex expression. Too many things happened last night that he hasn't digested yet.
"There was no work today." Looking at his younger brother, Itachi smiled gently "So I came back early."
There was no other way.
The Hokage was hospitalized, and there were at least twenty or thirty Anbu members watching the entire Konoha Village hospital, so he didn't really need to guard the door.
"Sasuke, have you been practicing throwing techniques all day today?"
Looking at the wooden Kunai all over the ground, and then looking at the target in the distance.
He also noticed that his younger brother was sweating profusely.
Those two slightly tender little palms were cut by the wooden spikes of the Kunai, leaving many gaps.
Uchiha Itachi felt a pang of heartache.
"Yes!" Sasuke was full of energy
"As the son of the Uchiha clan leader, I absolutely cannot be surpassed by Uzumaki Naruto! The next time I see him, I must be stronger than him!"
Sasuke waved the wooden Kunai and treated the air as Naruto: "I will defeat him and then tell him that he is like a girl!"
It seemed that he could imagine that scene.
Sasuke felt that he was capable again.
He chuckled happily.
"Yes, I believe in you, Sasuke." Itachi gently poked Sasuke's head with his index and middle fingers.
In fact, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least... those very aggressive clansmen in the Uchiha clan couldn't find trouble with Whitebeard.
This might be considered a good thing?
