Land of Fire, Konohagakure Village.
"We're just students from the ninja academy. If we sneak out of the village and get caught by the village's ninjas, we won't have a good ending."
Aburame Shino, with his hands in his pockets, had half of his face covered since he was young and always wore sunglasses.
At this moment, he was reminding Inuzuka Kiba in front of him.
"What are you afraid of?" Inuzuka Kiba impatiently said while holding Akamaru, "If they can leave the village, why can't we? They haven't returned for more than a year!"
"Are we going to be punished just for leaving the village and wandering outside for a few days?" Inuzuka Kiba continued, "Besides, we've already sneaked out, so what's the point of saying this now?"
Yes, these two kids had sneaked out of Konohagakure.
This was obviously Inuzuka Kiba's idea.
Aburame Shino sighed helplessly, feeling that he had made a bad friend.
Meanwhile, the two kids below were already running away with Akamaru.
"Huff... huff... how is this possible! This was a hidden spot I scouted in advance, how could so many people suddenly come here? Damn it, how is this possible!" Inuzuka Kiba panted as he ran.
"Let's go, let's go! Don't stay here too long, if the villagers find us, we're really done for!"
She reacted almost instinctively, gripping the Kunai in her hand tightly and stabbing backward without hesitation!
...
"Yoshi!"
Mitarashi Anko gasped.
Although they didn't know why a woman suddenly appeared on the tree.
After seeing no one chasing them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the direction it was pointing, it was right above a big tree in front of them!
"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't expect to hear such an incredible 'conspiracy' right after completing the mission!"
She released the Kunai in her hand, frowned, and turned around, "The Uchiha clan in the village had already left with the Whitebeard Pirates..."
She was still muttering about how her perfect plan could go wrong.
This sentence was truly shocking.
Uchiha Izumi smiled shyly, her smile looked very kind, without the usual arrogance of the Uchiha clan, "I didn't expect senpai to remember my name, it's really an honor."
But they couldn't care less, escaping was the most important thing.
As she looked down at the two kids and a dog, her eyes were filled with teasing and mockery.
Before she could finish speaking, Mitarashi Anko reacted, her eyes suddenly widened.
Inuzuka Kiba grinned, "Our seven-day adventure of leaving the village with two people and a dog starts now, we'll be back in seven days!"
Mitarashi Anko yawned, her index finger passing through the round end of a Kunai, gently spinning it.
The tip of the kunai was only a few centimeters away from the person's neck behind him.
While he was running away, he couldn't help but look back to see if any ninjas were chasing him.
He saw a female ninja from Konohagakure!
They didn't recognize who this female ninja was, only that she had a Konohagakure forehead protector on her forehead.
But it seemed a bit different from the usual Chunin vest.
The sudden sound of a girl's voice made Mitarashi Anko's hair stand on end.
A delicate, white hand accurately grabbed her wrist.
"Senpai, Konohagakure is just ahead, right? It's been a long time since I came back, and I kind of forgot the way back." The voice sounded very young, like a girl's voice.
Wait!
"You are..." Mitarashi Anko immediately recalled something, "The genius girl from the Uchiha clan, Sharingan Uchiha Izumi, right? You awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan before the age of fifteen? I saw you during the last Chunin exam."
Does the appearance of Uchiha mean that the Whitebeard Pirates have also appeared?
Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino quickly looked up.
"Heh, kids!" Mitarashi Anko was about to say something when her body suddenly stiffened.
The vest she was wearing should also be a Konohagakure Chunin vest.
"Damn..." Inuzuka Kiba broke out in a cold sweat, "How could we be so unlucky?"
She seemed to see through what Anko was thinking and explained enthusiastically, "Just as you guessed, senpai, the Whitebeard Pirates are back!"
This is the Whitebeard Pirates who had been missing for more than a year!
To avoid being caught by the other side.
After Inuzuka Kiba finished speaking to Aburame Shino, he continued to speak to Akamaru in his arms, "Akamaru, you need to help us smell if anyone is approaching, and if so, notify us immediately."
The young Akamaru barked twice, with a bit of a puppy's milk voice, as a response to him.
"Senpai, I am also a ninja of Konohagakure! Isn't it a bit bad to attack me without saying anything?" Uchiha Izumi's Three Tomoe Sharingan was slowly rotating, and there was a calm smile on her beautiful face.
Mitarashi Anko also saw Uchiha Izumi's face through the corner of her eye, saw the Konohagakure forehead protector on Izumi's forehead, and saw the Sharingan in her eyes!
"Uchiha?!" Mitarashi Anko was stunned for a moment.
But just as they were about to set off, Akamaru in Inuzuka Kiba's arms froze for a moment and hurriedly barked upwards.
"Kiba! Stop!!!" Suddenly, Aburame Shino's horrified voice came from the side.
Akamaru in his arms was also barking urgently, trying to warn Inuzuka Kiba.
Inuzuka Kiba was stunned for a moment. When he just turned his head back to the front, his vision went black, and he hit something in front of him.
He felt like he had hit a tree.
With a scream, he fell to the ground on his butt.
"It hurts!" Inuzuka Kiba hurriedly covered his nose, feeling that his nose was bleeding.
Akamaru, who was in his arms, also fell to the ground.
At this moment, a somewhat familiar yet slightly unfamiliar voice reached his ears.
"No wonder you look familiar, turns out it's this clumsy, attention-seeking guy." Sasuke crossed his arms and quietly watched Inuzuka Kiba squatting on the ground.
Inuzuka Kiba suddenly raised his head, his gaze following the direction of the voice.
He was completely stunned, his mouth trembling in shock, "Uchiha... Uchiha Sasuke?!"
"What? I'm clearly more noticeable!" Naruto's voice rang out, "How come you saw him first and not me?"
Inuzuka Kiba was bewildered, his gaze shifting to the person next to Sasuke, "Uzumaki... Uzumaki Naruto?!"
"You know this guy?" Neji glanced at Inuzuka Kiba expressionlessly, "He looks like he's from the Inuzuka clan, right?"
Shikamaru's expression was a bit strange, "He's our classmate from ninja school, the son of the Inuzuka clan's Patriarch. But why is he outside the village?"
Chouji was holding a bag of chips, munching away.
Chip crumbs kept falling, landing right on Inuzuka Kiba's head.
It was clear that the person he had just bumped into was Chouji.
Inuzuka Kiba's nose was bleeding from the collision.
But Chouji seemed completely unharmed.
Eight-year-old Ino was already wearing a crop top, with one hand on her hip, muttering, "I didn't expect the first person I'd see after returning to the village would be this guy..."
Sakura stood next to Ino, the two best friends holding hands, and said, "Hey, there seems to be someone else behind him."
Lee's gaze fell on Aburame Shino, amazed, "There really is someone! How did I not notice just now? Such impressive stealth skills!"
He grinned and gave Sakura a thumbs up, "As expected of Haruno Sakura, your observation skills are sharp!"
Hinata weakly interjected, "But Shino didn't seem to be hiding on purpose! He just has a low presence."
"Really? Haha!" Lee laughed foolishly.
He looked a bit silly.
A group of kids chattered noisily, making the scene very lively.
Inuzuka Kiba was completely dumbfounded, what was going on?!
"Gurarararara!" A hearty laugh suddenly rang out, snapping him back to reality.
Whitebeard walked slowly from the back, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.
With a smile on his face, Whitebeard glanced at Inuzuka Kiba and Aburame Shino, "Kids, did you run into your friends?"
Inuzuka Kiba almost wet himself.
He knew Whitebeard, he had seen him from afar before.
But this was the first time he had been so close to Whitebeard!
The other party was right in front of him!
...
"Hokage-sama, you should take a break." Seeing the elderly Hokage of Konohagakure still diligently handling the village's affairs, an Anbu ninja who came to deliver documents couldn't help but kindly remind him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and shook his head, "If I don't work hard to finish all these tasks, they'll just pile up until tomorrow. And if they pile up a bit more tomorrow, it'll only get worse."
He picked up the pipe beside him and took a slow puff.
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a bit of sorrow, "Lately, the younger generation in the village is somewhat lacking. If we old folks don't dedicate our lives to Konohagakure, how can we make it better?"
The Anbu ninja looked at the somewhat self-pitying and self-indulgent Hokage of Konohagakure.
He silently thought to himself: Isn't it because you, Hokage-sama, and the higher-ups in the village drove away all the talented young people, leading to this situation?
Especially the outstanding Captain Kakashi, who was ostracized by the village and chose to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
In this situation, it's no wonder the village lacks talent!
It was clear that this Anbu ninja used to be one of Kakashi's subordinates.
But he couldn't say these thoughts out loud.
After all, he needed to make a living too, and Anbu's salary was high!
"By the way, is there still no news about the Whitebeard Pirates in the ninja world?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly asked.
The Anbu ninja shook his head and replied, "Anbu hasn't found any information about the Whitebeard Pirates. Our spies in Kusagakure Village haven't received any news either. The Whitebeard Pirates might have really disappeared from the ninja world."
"Haha... cough! Cough cough!" Sarutobi Hiruzen almost laughed out loud but quickly realized it was inappropriate.
With a serious face, he sighed, "The world is truly unpredictable! Such a powerful organization just vanished into thin air."
Sarutobi Hiruzen wished the Whitebeard Pirates would disappear forever.
As for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto, Kakashi, and others inside.
Since they chose to betray Konohagakure and join the Whitebeard Pirates.
Sarutobi Hiruzen decided not to consider them as his own anymore.
With countless thoughts in his mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to hold his pipe and had just taken a puff.
Suddenly, another Anbu ninja rushed in.
This one jumped in through the open window.
It was clear he had urgent information.
"Hokage-sama!" The new Anbu ninja said in a shocked tone, speaking quickly, "The village's two gatekeepers have launched green signal fireworks into the sky! Green signal fireworks mean... the Whitebeard Pirates are back!"
"Cough cough cough cough cough!!!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was instantly choked, almost coughing out tears, his old face full of shock and disbelief.
"You cough cough cough…"
"What did you say?"
Finally catching his breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen was already scared and stood up abruptly, staring straight at the Anbu ninja reporting the urgent information: "The Whitebeard Pirates are back? Are you sure? Are you sure you didn't see the wrong signal color?"
"Hokage-sama, many people outside saw the signal. I might have seen it wrong, but others couldn't have all seen it wrong, right?" The Anbu ninja immediately explained to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Clatter—
The pipe in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
"How is this possible... Haven't they been missing for more than a year? Didn't the entire ninja world fail to find any trace of them? If they disappeared... why not disappear completely, why appear at this time? Why come back to Konohagakure?"
One question after another popped up in his mind, but no one could give Sarutobi Hiruzen any answers.
Just as he was about to say something.
A terrifying and familiar Conqueror's Haki instantly enveloped the entire Konohagakure village, with dark lightning flashing continuously. In just a moment, it made everyone in Konohagakure feel a heavy pressure.
This was a very precisely controlled Conqueror's Haki, making everyone in Konohagakure feel unprecedented oppression, yet cleverly not knocking anyone unconscious!
This made everyone in Konohagakure show a look of horror, whether civilians or ninjas, all sweating profusely in fear.
Everyone looked around in panic.
Trying to figure out what was going on.
"Gurararararara!!!"
At this moment, Whitebeard's voice echoed throughout Konohagakure, with visible sound waves: "How come my Whitebeard Pirates are here, and not a single ninja is here to greet us! Where is that bastard Shimura Danzo? I'm here to personally help my idiot son get his eyes back!"
"Gurarararara!!!"
