Konohagakure!
Today, the powerful force displayed by Whitebeard, not only appeared in the eyes of every ninja in Konohagakure village.
It also appeared in the eyes of many foreign village ninjas...
Especially a group of foreign village ninjas who ran to Konohagakure village to prepare to pay money to ransom people, they witnessed today's turmoil with their own eyes.
They didn't expect that they had come all the way to Konohagakure...
And they could still see such a big show.
"Is this the power of the Sannin of Konohagakure? Is this the power of Whitebeard, who has a bounty of 100 Million Ryo?"
In Konohagakure village, a Jonin from Shimogakure Village swallowed in secret.
This Jonin from Shimogakure Village, just happened to bring 1.5 million Ryo of ransom money to Konohagakure village today.
He plans to redeem three ninjas from his village today.
But before he could find out where the Whitebeard Pirates were, he personally experienced such a major upheaval.
His forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
"This is... too... too scary, isn't it?" The Jonin from Shimogakure Village was horrified to discover that even one of the Three Ninjas from Konohagakure could level their village if they attacked!
As for that Whitebeard?
He didn't know what words to use to describe the astonishing power of Whitebeard. Even one of theSannin from Konohagakure was instantly defeated by Whitebeard.
This man is so powerful that it's a bit over the top!
The Jonin from Shimogakure Village was terrified!
He found that the decision made by his village this time was very correct.
Indeed.
The Whitebeard Pirates absolutely cannot be provoked. If that strike just now had not fallen on Konohagakure Village, but on their Shimogakure Village...
Hiss!
Originally, the area of Shimogakure Village was only one-fifth of Konohagakure. If this strike came down, wouldn't the entire Shimogakure Village be completely unrecognizable?
Wouldn't more than half of the population in the village be killed or injured?
.....
There are countless foreign village ninjas who hold similar thoughts.
Homma Heiji from Sunagakure Village is one of them.
At this moment.
Homma Heiji, the Jonin leading the team from Sunagakure Village, was with a Jonin from Sunagakure Village who was carrying 20 million ryo of ransom. The two of them couldn't help but look at each other.
"Is... is it over?" The Sunagakure Jonin carrying the ransom felt a dry mouth and tongue, and his not-so-large triangular eyes were filled with deep horror.
The climate of Konohagakure Village is much more humid than that of Sunagakure Village.
But this feeling of dry throat can't be stopped at all.
At first, when the Fourth Kazekage received this special mission, the upper echelons of Sunagakure Village didn't want to go to Konohagakure.
Because he felt too aggrieved.
One of the great stone ninja villages was actually blackmailed by a pirate group!
And... the higher-ups of the village, including the Kazekage, actually accepted the blackmail of the pirates.
It is said that the Fourth Kazekage, in order to raise 20 million ryo of ransom, even ran to the center of the desert and panned for a lot of gold.
Threatened by a pirate group, the dignified Kazekage is so aggrieved?
But there's no way, the other party is after all the Fourth Kazekage.
And he is just a Jonin from Sunagakure Village.
Since the task was given to him, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to carry 20 million ryo to Konohagakure Village to redeem his people.
Until today.
Until this moment.
He finally understood why the higher-ups in the village and the Fourth Kazekage would accept the blackmail of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The feeling of suffocation in this Sunagakure Jonin's heart has completely disappeared.
Before, he also looked down on Homma Heiji very much, thinking that Homma Heiji as a Jonin was too useless.
The village's ninja was kidnapped by pirates, won't you go and rescue them?
You are a Jonin!
Not only did he not rescue the ninja from the village, but he also spread such a shameful message to the village, causing the higher-ups in the village to come up with such a "foolish" method of ransom.
Now.
He found that Homma Heiji is a very excellent Jonin from Sunagakure Village, because Homma Heiji avoided a strong enemy for Sunagakure Village."
The transition between two completely different mindsets was completed in less than a few minutes.
You can imagine how shocked he was inside.
"It should be over." Homma Heiji throat was throbbing, and it was his first time seeing Whitebeard make a move.
This sight made him feel a sense of relief as if he had survived a catastrophe.
He had once ventured into the Whitebeard Pirates' base alone...
Surviving was simply a blessing from heaven!
.....
On the other side.
On a taller rooftop in Konohagakure village.
"Genji-sama, it seems that we, Kirigakure Village, have made the right bet this time." Terumi Mei looked at the two huge Summoned Beasts in the distance and murmured to herself, "Whitebeard openly made a move in Konohagakure village, causing such a big destruction with one blow, tsk tsk, the people of Konohagakure didn't even dare to fart."
Terumi Mei felt that this was because of Whitebeard's formidable strength, which deterred all the people in Konohagakure village.
Those guys in Konohagakure didn't dare to do anything to Whitebeard.
The sight of the devastation in front of her reminded Terumi Mei of half a year ago.
Half a year ago, when the Fourth Mizukage gathered a group of ninjas from Kirigakure Village to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates, Terumi Mei was also present.
At that time, Terumi Mei, while swimming, secretly watched the battle between Whitebeard and the Fourth Mizukage.
She knew that even if the Fourth Mizukage and the Three-Tails were combined...
They were no match for Whitebeard!
"Heh!" Terumi Mei looked at the chaotic Konohagakure village and even felt a bit of schadenfreude, "Even if Konohagakure is rich, what about it? Faced with such a powerful existence as Whitebeard, isn't their reaction similar to that of Kirigakure Village at that time?"
Terumi Mei suddenly found a sense of relief.
If Whitebeard killed the Third Hokage of Konohagakure village, and also killed most of the Jonin of Konohagakure village...
Then her sense of relief would be even more sufficient.
Of course...
Terumi Mei also knew that this very unrealistic idea, just think about it in her heart.
After all, among the many sons and daughters under Whitebeard's command.
Many of them are from Konohagakure.
.....
Like Terumi Mei, those who feel that their ninja village has made the right bet also include Kazewa Serizawa from the Grassland Village.
Kazewa Serizawa was already so excited that his face was red.
"So powerful!"
"So invincible!"
"So amazing!"
"This is the vibration power of Whitebeard, who sweeps the ninja world and is unmatched! This is the power to destroy a ninja village at will! Even if Whitebeard is called the 'strongest man in the ninja world', it is not an exaggeration!"
Kazewa Serizawa shouted excitedly.
His face was already red, making people very worried that he would faint directly due to excessive excitement?
Although there were some people around Kazewa Serizawa who gave him strange looks, he ignored those people's looks.
In his simple thinking... the stronger Whitebeard is, the stronger the Whitebeard Pirates are, and the stronger the Whitebeard Pirates are, the stronger the backing of Kusagakure Village is!
How could these vulgar people around him understand the joy of Kusagakure Village?
"Maybe..."
Kazewa Serizawa has already started to fantasize:
"Maybe under the support of the Whitebeard Pirates, Kusagakure Village could one day become the sixth largest ninja village in the ninja world."
"At that time... hiss! At that time, could I also be called 'Kusakage'? If being a dog can get to this point, why not be a dog?"
When his thoughts reached this point.
He had a brain climax!
.....
Time passed.
It was already night.
Due to the daytime battle, many buildings in Konohagakure Village were affected to varying degrees, especially the center of the battle was a mess, and no intact building was left.
Therefore, the entire Konohagakure Village, which is good at Earth Release and Wind Release, did not rest for a whole day.
The ninjas who are good at Earth Release are constantly filling the cracks in the earth that have been shaken open, and also repairing houses one by one.
The ninjas who are good at Wind Release are responsible for cleaning up the building ruins.
It has to be said.
The efficiency of these Konohagakure ninjas is still very high.
Or to say.
It's because they all have experience.
Since Whitebeard appeared in Konohagakure, various places in Konohagakure have been rebuilt countless times.
Experience has been tormented out without experience.
Facing Whitebeard who made Konohagakure a mess, no one in the entire village dared to find Whitebeard's trouble.
But the tradition of Konohagakure is to be weak to the outside and strong to the inside.
They dare not find the Whitebeard Pirates.
But they dare to find Jiraiya and Tsunade.
"Jiraiya, Tsunade, how long have you two been back in the village?"
At this moment, the Hokage Building did not turn off the lights at night.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, was sitting in his office.
On his left is Mitokado Homura, and on his right is Utatane Koharu.
In front of him, there are two disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
One is the expressionless Jiraiya.
The other is Tsunade who is yawning straight.
"Ten days."
"Forgot."
Jiraiya and Tsunade almost answered in unison.
"Jiraiya, Tsunade, do you know how much damage you caused to Konohagakure Village when you fought with Orochimaru?" At this time, Utatane Koharu couldn't help but open her mouth with a black face, "According to our preliminary calculations, just the Summoned Beasts you summoned, crushed more than a hundred houses!"
Mitokado Homura coughed and said with a straight face, "The three of you also destroyed a lot of facilities in the village during the battle. This time, the village's minimum loss is no less than 800 million ryo."
Mitokado Homura continued, "You guys are too reckless, even if you find Orochimaru, you should restrain yourself. Or, when you fight with Orochimaru, try not to let him summon Manda."
Hearing what these two old guys said, Tsunade's eyebrows wrinkled as deep as they were.
What does it mean?
She and Jiraiya had worked hard to prevent Orochimaru from destroying Konohagakure, and for this, she even forcibly suppressed her fear of blood.
Now, these two guys are even comparing themselves to them in person?
Tsunade's impatient expression quickly turned into disgust.
When Tsunade started to speak, she also began to become impolite: "It seems... I shouldn't have cared so much, I should have let Orochimaru turn Konohagakure upside down. Also, when Orochimaru appeared, when he summoned Manda, where did you guys hide, why was it only me and Jiraiya?"
Tsunade pursed her lips: "A group of old people who should have retired a long time ago, standing here all day talking to me without doing anything. If you have the ability, why didn't you stop Orochimaru?"
"Cough cough! Tsunade, you should be polite when talking to the two elders."
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly started to make peace: "Homura, Koharu, you too, don't always be too harsh on the younger ones."
Because, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already seen that the wooden board under Tsunade's feet was cracking, obviously Tsunade was suppressing her anger.
He changed the subject and said: "You haven't been back to the village for a long time, speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for several years, why did you come back this time?"
"Haha, if it's a secret, then pretend I didn't ask as a teacher." Sarutobi Hiruzen added with a laugh.
"Investigating the 'Akatsuki' organization." Jiraiya's face was calm.
He had known what kind of character these higher-ups of Konohagakure were a long time ago.
Tsunade impatiently answered: "Treating Whitebeard!"
Tsunade's words quieted the entire office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "???"
Mitokado Homura: "???"
Utatane Koharu: "???"
Even Jiraiya couldn't help but stare at Tsunade in astonishment.
"You said you treated Whitebeard?" Utatane Koharu couldn't help questioning: "Tsunade, answer me honestly. Was the hidden disease on Whitebeard cured by you?"
The higher-ups of Konohagakure knew that Whitebeard had many hidden diseases.
After all, Whitebeard had once had a physical examination in the Konohagakure hospital.
"Yes!" Tsunade's answer was very confident.
Utatane Koharu's eyes widened a bit: "Tsunade, how could you do this? Have you forgotten that you are a ninja of Konohagakure?"
"Why can't I do this?"
Tsunade crossed her arms, thinking of something that happened more than a year ago, a cold smile hung on the corner of her mouth. "Do you want me to cooperate with you and do that kind of insidious and dirty thing?"
"Whitebeard is also a patient in my eyes, that's all." Tsunade continued: "As a doctor, it is my duty help a patient"
"Tsunade, you are too short minded." Mitokado Homura couldn't help saying: "You cured Whitebeard, which led to all this happening. Otherwise, his hidden disease would have killed him long ago."
Tsunade "tsk" a sound: "You called me over, just to let me listen to your preaching? And then turn me into a scapegoat?"
"Forget it!"
Tsunade didn't give them any face, "I'll save whoever I want to save, what does it have to do with you two old guys?"
This was the first time she had directly called Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu old guys in front of them.
"And you, old man." Tsunade turned to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "A year ago, you gave order to make me do something disgusting when treating Whitebeard right? After all, the two Anbu ninjas who came to tell me this disgusting thing, apart from you, I don't think anyone else could command Anbu ninjas."
Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.
"Old man, you've changed, the Hokage is not supposed to be like you."
After sharply criticizing Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, Tsunade turned her firepower on Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Konohagakure Village could have established a certain friendly relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates."
"But you didn't do that, you see Whitebeard as the biggest threat to Konohagakure Village, why? Are you afraid that Whitebeard will take your Hokage position?"
"Heh..."
Tsunade imitated Orochimaru and let out a disdainful cold laugh. "If you come to find me again because of such nonsense next time, don't bother me anymore, I don't want to get involved in any of your affairs."
"If you want to find a scapegoat for the serious damage in the village, don't find me, have the guts to find Whitebeard."
"Tsunade..." Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to say something.
But he found that Tsunade just turned her head and left.
Tsunade kicked the door open with a rough foot and left without even closing the door.
She was very annoyed when she saw these three people.
This is why she has been hiding her identity in Konohagakure recently.
But Orochimaru's appearance still exposed her.
Tsunade simply turned a blind eye.
Inside the Hokage office.
Jiraiya thought for a while, he helplessly said, "Although what Tsunade said was a bit harsh, what she said actually makes some sense, Konohagakure is not suitable to be Whitebeard Pirates's enemy."
"You guys don't say anything more to me." Jiraiya shook his head, pre-judgmentally interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, "I only have one goal, and that is to catch up with Orochimaru."
"Before I complete this goal, I don't want to care about anything in the village, and you guys don't want to force me to care."
"Unless, the village is at the point of life and death."
Jiraiya also left quickly.
In the entire office, only Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura were left.
The side fell into a deathly silence.
"How dare they!"
Utatane Koharu couldn't help but grit her teeth, "Sarutobi, what do these two disciples of yours mean? Have they forgotten that they are ninjas of Konohagakure Village? Speaking such words to us face to face, do these two people still have a pure ninja heart? Do they understand respect for the old and love for the young?"
Utatane Koharu was so angry that her face turned black, fortunately, she didn't have any diseases, otherwise, she would have been angry enough to have a heart attack.
"Especially Tsunade! Since the end of the Second Ninja World War, she has disappeared completely, without making any contribution to the village. When she finally returned to the village once, unexpectedly, she didn't even have the will of fire anymore!"
"If she had agreed to assassinate Whitebeard the last time, Whitebeard would have been long gone!"
Utatane Koharu gritted her teeth and said these words, feeling a bit better.
Mitokado Homura sighed, "Sarutobi, your way of educating disciples is too indulgent, so that when they grow up, they have too much of their own personality."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking a pipe.
Silent.
.....
Outside.
"Two shameless old guy, calling you old guys is already a compliment!" Tsunade grumbled, "The village has become more and more corrupted because of these old guys, and it has long lost its original vitality."
Don't expect a female gambler to have much will of fire.
Tsunade felt that her scarce will of fire should not be placed on such old things.
Even if her will of fire was placed on Whitebeard, it would be better than placing it on those two old things.
Tsunade gave her teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the last bit of face.
She didn't call "Sarutobi Hiruzen" an old guy.
Although... in Tsunade's heart, she wanted to shout it out.
But the feelings of master and disciple were always haunting her heart.
Later, Jiraiya, wearing wooden clogs, quickly followed from behind.
Hearing Tsunade's grumbling, he couldn't help but give a bitter smile, "'Old guy' this word, is a bit too heavy, right?"
"Hmph, I have already done my utmost duty for not calling them old guy." Tsunade snorted.
"Hahaha!" Jiraiya gave an awkward laugh.
He changed the subject and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, don't you have to invite me to a drink?"
"No money." Tsunade said very bluntly.
"But..." Suddenly, Tsunade's eyes turned slyly, "I do remember a place where you can drink and eat meat for free."
"Oh?" Jiraiya was a bit curious.
Tsunade, in her girl form, giggled, "Of course it's the Whitebeard Pirates! Those two old things definitely don't want me to have too much contact with the Whitebeard Pirates, but I just won't follow their wishes. If I could piss them off, that would be even better."
"Let's go! I'll lead the way!"
She swaggered, "We did save that little brat Uzumaki Naruto, it shouldn't be too much to go and crash a banquet, right?"
