A few days later, the Moby Dick received two visitors.
They were two ninjas from Kirigakure Village who were looking for the Whitebeard Pirates!
"Whitebeard-sama, this is the situation."
One of the Kirigakure ninjas bowed his head respectfully to Whitebeard and said, "We have already located the exact location of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, and Terumi Mei-sama has been keeping a close eye on that Jinchuriki!"
"There is no Iwagakure ninja protecting the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, just him alone. According to the information we have, we know that he is good at Lava Release."
"Four-Tails Jinchuriki Roshi can combine the chakra of earth and fire into a lava form to attack the enemy!"
It must be said that Kirigakure Village's intelligence capability is indeed very good, they must have put a lot of effort to obtain this information.
"Oh?"
Whitebeard sat on a large chair at the bow of the Moby Dick, the breeze blowing his crescent beard.
Whitebeard smiled, "Gurarararara! he is quite capable, little brats of Kirigakure Village!"
Whitebeard's rare praise immediately excited the two Kirigakure ninjas.
Did Whitebeard-sama's praise mean that Whitebeard-sama had recognized the ability of Kirigakure Village?
In the future, Whitebeard-sama will definitely value their Kirigakure Village very much, right?
"Lead the way!!"
Whitebeard made a decision and issued an order, "Whitebeard Pirates will be capturing that Four-Tails! Gurararara!"
"Yes! Whitebeard-sama!" The two Kirigakure Village ninjas nodded together.
...
Iwagakure Village.
"I'll leave my words here! Never let Whitebeard take our Jinchuriki!"
The Third Tsuchikage Oonoki of Iwagakure Village immediately slammed the table and gritted his teeth, saying firmly, "Our Iwagakure Village will never bow down to the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Whoever continues to spread such shameful remarks in front of me, don't blame me for being rude! Where is the reason for ninjas to bow to pirates in the ninja world?"
Oonoki is confronting several higher-ups elders of Kumogakure Village.
He has been in power for many years as the Third Tsuchikage, and his prestige in the village is very high.
The energy of this group of Iwagakure Village higher-ups elders combined is not as great as his alone.
When Oonoki made such a tough decision, the higher-ups elders could only look at each other helplessly.
They also didn't have much to say.
"Tsuchikage-sama, how should we deal with the powerful Whitebeard Pirates?" A higher-ups elder couldn't help but ask, "big villages like Konohagakure Village, Kumogakure Village, Kirigakure Village, they all bowed to the Whitebeard Pirates. Among them, Kumogakure Village was forced to admit that it was a subsidiary ninja village of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Kirigakure Village was even beaten by Whitebeard and became Whitebeard's dog..."
"Faced with such a powerful enemy, how much force does our village need to gather to be able to contend with it? And, there is not only one Whitebeard in the Whitebeard Pirates, right?"
Although their speaking rights are not as good as the Third Tsuchikage, they still want to persuade Oonoki not to be so stubborn for the sake of Iwagakure Village.
Yes, a group of higher-ups in Iwagakure Village had a disagreement.
On Oonoki's side, the hard-liners believe that ninjas should not bow to pirates, which would be too shameful.
Why should they hand over the village's Tailed Beast and the village's interests to the pirates?
Do they, Iwagakure Village, need the protection of a group of pirates?
What a joke, they are one of the five major ninja villages!
On the other hand, the higher-ups elders in Iwagakure Village advocate peaceful coexistence with the Whitebeard Pirates.
After all, the Whitebeard Pirates have been "making waves" in the ninja world for so long...
They, more or less, can learn about the style of the Whitebeard Pirates and the character of Whitebeard from various news channels.
They all know that the Whitebeard Pirates are soft but not hard.
If Iwagakure Village welcomes the Whitebeard Pirates in a friendly manner, then both sides will naturally be very happy and there will be no conflict.
But if they confront the Whitebeard Pirates in a tough manner, there will definitely be an unprecedented war between the two sides.
At that time, people will definitely die.
The village is bound to suffer heavy losses.
Kumogakure Village is a lesson from the past.
It's just that the higher-ups elders didn't expect that Kumogakure Village had already explored the way for them, Iwagakure Village, and the end of Kumogakure Village was also obvious.
But the Tsuchikage is still so stubborn.
In the face of these higher-ups elders' questions, Oonoki snorted coldly, "Don't forget! Our Iwagakure Village has been nurturing and accumulating for several years, and we are not vegetarians! We were once able to kill the Third Raikage with tens of thousands of ninjas; why can't we kill Whitebeard with tens of thousands of ninjas now?!"
"This is a decision made by me as the Third Tsuchikage, you don't need to say anything more! Immediately gather the ninjas in the village, I am going to... launch a large-scale military operation against the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Oonoki paused, and continued, "If a group of pirates make waves in the Land of Earth, how should we explain to the Daimyo? We must fight this battle!"
"And it must be fought beautifully! Even if we can't make all the Whitebeard Pirates lose in the Land of Earth, we must drive those pirates away and scare them!"
"Fight so that they dare not set foot in the Land of Earth in their lifetime!"
...
Time, after a little while.
Terumi Mei has been secretly staring at Roshi for a long time, and today she suddenly found that this Four-Tails Jinchuriki seemed to be preparing to leave this town.
Terumi Mei frowned slightly, and immediately realized that something was not quite right: "Whitebeard-sama has not come yet, if this Jinchuriki leaves here, I must follow him to leave, then how should I meet Whitebeard-sama?"
She must find a way to keep him here, Terumi Mei thought about it and there was only one way - use force!
She needs to drag the other party here in a tough way.
Drag one day is one day, even if forced to startle the snake, must also be dragged.
Terumi Mei followed Roshi secretly to the outskirts of the town.
This is a lush forest, there are no civilians around.
"Water Release: Hidden Mist Jutsu!!!"
Terumi Mei decisively shot, her hands quickly sealed, and layers of dense fog began to spread around.
In less than a few seconds, the visibility within a radius of 100 meters was enveloped by dense fog.
The Visibility does not exceed three meters.
Roshi, who was carrying a bunch of luggage, also stopped at this time.
He said expressionlessly, "I've been saying for the past half month that something feels strange, it turns out there's a little mouse following me in the dark."
"This kind of dense fog... if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Hidden Mist Jutsu of Kirigakure Village, right? Am I just being targeted by you guys from Kirigakure Village?"
Roshi was not flustered at all, after all, he was a Four-Tails Jinchuriki and a formidable ninja himself.
In the vast ninja world, he could be considered to have stepped into the threshold of Kage-level.
The voice of Terumi Mei seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to discern her exact location, "You can't just leave so easily! Tsk tsk... I've been tracking you for so long, if you just leave casually, wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted?"
Roshi's thick red eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He could tell that this was a woman's voice, and she should be in her twenties.
"Little girl, it's a bit exaggerated for you to want to stop me by yourself, isn't it?" Roshi snorted coldly, "I don't show mercy to women, there are quite a few female ninjas who have died in my hands!"
Despite Roshi's current appearance as an ascetic monk, before he left Iwagakure Village, he was a well-known ninja in the village.
He was once a terrifying killer on the battlefield.
"Who can't talk big, red-haired uncle!" Terumi Mei's lipsticked mouth curled up, "I even said that I could capture you before Whitebeard-sama arrives!"
Whitebeard-sama?
Roshi's face changed, "You are from the Whitebeard Pirates? No, I remember, you guys from Kirigakure Village are originally the dogs of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Just as his words fell, suddenly a shadow appeared behind Roshi.
It turned out that Terumi Mei took advantage of this opportunity, holding a Kunai, and launched a surprise attack with the Kirigakure Body Flicker Technique!
The Kunai stabbed towards Roshi's back heart, Terumi Mei was naturally proficient in Kirigakure's silent assassination technique.
But at this moment, Roshi's body suddenly surged with intense heat.
Clusters of material like magma gushed out from the surface of his skin, almost enveloping his whole body in an instant.
The Kunai was directly melted into molten iron at the moment it collided with his back heart, slowly dripping onto the ground.
Terumi Mei's pupils shrank, she quickly let go, and jumped back quickly, pulling away from Roshi.
Even in the dense fog, Roshi, who was covered in magma, was still so conspicuous, like a big light bulb in the fog.
Roshi's voice echoed in the fog, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, this is my best Lava Release chakra mode!"
"Lava Release: Scorching Stream Flame Technique!!!"
Roshi spat out one magma ball after another towards the direction where Terumi Mei had just attacked!
Each magma ball had a diameter of more than one meter, and where the magma ball passed, even the fog around it was completely evaporated!
Terumi Mei's figure also appeared in Roshi's field of vision.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!!!"
Terumi Mei remained calm, her hands quickly formed seals, and she spat out a huge water dragon from her mouth.
The huge water dragon collided with the magma balls one after another, and the steam that erupted was no less than another Kirigakure technique.
"Water Release, Great Waterfall Technique!!!"
Terumi Mei didn't stop her actions, and the rolling water surged towards Roshi like a raging flood.
The real battle between the two was about to start.
Terumi Mei knew that she was not a match for the Jinchuriki at present, but she could restrain the Lava Release with her Water Release...
Even if she couldn't beat the Jinchuriki, she could run and drag the other party.
With such a thought in mind, Terumi Mei went straight ahead!
The magma and water flow collided violently time and time again, not only igniting a raging fire in the dense forest, but also causing a flood in this place.
The noise of the Ninjutsu collision between the two was not ordinary.
As time passed by every minute and every second.
Roshi found that this Whitebeard Pirate's dog from Kirigakure Village was not ordinary. He couldn't shake off this woman for a while when he was using Lava Release.
And this woman is not simple, she actually has two Kekkei Genkai!
When he saw Terumi Mei spit out a large amount of special mucus, Roshi quickly jumped back to avoid it.
The mucus fell on the ground, and even the soil was corroded into large pits.
The next moment, Terumi Mei spat out a bunch of steam, which was even stronger than the corrosive mucus, and even the chakra could evaporate!
"It's a bit outrageous... to send such a character to track me, it's really a big deal!"
Roshi's eyelids jumped, "In that case... Four-Tails!!!"
As a Jinchuriki, he decisively borrowed the power of the Tailed Beast.
A long tail appeared behind Roshi.
With the power of the Tailed Beast's chakra, his body was surrounded by a layer of magma, which seemed to be even higher than the previous temperature.
"Lava Release: Subterranean Heat Needle!!!"
Boom!
The ground under Roshi's feet was instantly crushed, and his speed was several times faster than before, and he appeared in front of Terumi Mei in the blink of an eye.
His right arm, like a long spear, stabbed at Terumi Mei in an instant, causing Terumi Mei's pupils to shrink.
Fast!
Too fast!
Terumi Mei only had time to lean back quickly, but her raised hair was still brushed by the other's arm.
A handful of Terumi Mei's long hair was directly burned off by half!
"Lava Release: Scorching Stream Flame!!!"
Roshi then spat out a ball of magma, the rolling magma was like a mudslide, rushing towards Terumi Mei.
"Water Release: Reverse Water Imprisonment Technique!!!"
Terumi Mei's body was enveloped by a circle of water flow, and the magma came into contact with the water flow, and was directly extinguished by the water flow.
But the high temperature of the magma also made the water flow around Terumi Mei extremely hot, and Terumi Mei's skin was scorched red.
The pain made her grit her teeth.
Just then, a barely audible voice came from afar, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!!!"
Roshi: "!!!"
The sound of Water Release coming from another direction made Roshi quickly turn his head to look. He saw a huge shark in the form of a water flow, breaking through the trees and rushing towards this side.
This made Roshi have to give up chasing Terumi Mei.
He quickly dodged the Ninjutsu of the unfamiliar Water Release ninja in the dark.
"Who is it?!"
Roshi shouted.
"Tsk tsk, a Jinchuriki, a Tailed Beast. One person and one beast, two against one, it's a bit unfair, isn't it?" A familiar voice made Terumi Mei widen her eyes.
Terumi Mei, too, was enduring the pain and quickly looked in that direction: "Hoshigaki Kisame?!?"
As a former "colleague" at Kirigakure Village, Terumi Mei naturally recognized Hoshigaki Kisame's voice.
"Is this Lava Release?" Kakashi's voice also rang out from the other side: "It feels like close combat with this Jinchuriki won't give us any advantage!"
The Whitebeard Pirates...
...make their entrance!!
