A minute ago, Danzo was still smug about his "incitement" and "arrangements" in various parts of the ninja world.
The reason why young ninjas in various ninja villages in the ninja world started a "de-Whitebeard Pirates" riot.
It was obviously Danzo secretly causing trouble.
He arranged for Root members to do it.
Because he felt that the disappearance of the Whitebeard Pirates was not enough to remove that psychological shadow, nor was it enough to rid the ninja world of this powerful organization.
So, Danzo started this operation, he wanted everything about the Whitebeard Pirates to disappear from the ninja world.
First, he wanted to remove all the symbols of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Then deal with people closely related to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Finally, he would use his skill to write some fake events to confuse the ninja world.
A Hyuga clan elder swallowed hard, fear etched into every wrinkle on his face, muttering with a dry mouth, "It's definitely Whitebeard, no doubt about it. I've felt this kind of presence before."
He couldn't wait any longer and immediately stood up, forcing himself to endure the immense psychological impact of the Conqueror's Haki as he walked outside.
At that time, many people selectively forgot this part of history.
"As long as he's not here to cause us trouble..."
He didn't need anyone's help; he could escape on his own.
"Not good! It's bad... Whitebeard is here to stand up for Uchiha Shisui! He's after my Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Danzo was already in a state of panic, cold sweat dripping down his face.
"Did Whitebeard have a son's eyes taken by Shimura Danzo? Only the Sharingan and Byakugan are worth taking, right?"
The usually proud and arrogant elders of the Hyuga clan were now more cowardly than ever.
...
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Danzo kept repeating, revealing his immense fear and disbelief.
He never expected the Whitebeard Pirates to appear, especially after being missing for so long. Why come back at this critical moment?
"Damn it! This time, it'll take another six months!" Danzo didn't hesitate and decided to leave immediately.
"Whitebeard? Hiss..." Another Hyuga clan elder couldn't help but gasp, "They're really back? And Whitebeard is here to trouble Shimura Danzo? He wants to take back the eyes from Danzo?"
Danzo couldn't understand. Did the Whitebeard Pirates have a grudge against him?
Or was it just bad luck?
"No way! I can't stay in the village any longer!" Danzo realized he had to lay low again because he knew no one in the village could protect him.
Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, Might Guy, and other Konohagakure Jonin had planned to have a meal together today.
Danzo's smile froze on his face, his fingertips trembling with fear.
Just as Danzo's shaky voice fell, Whitebeard's shout echoed throughout Konohagakure village, reaching his ears.
He recognized this strange yet powerful presence!
"Wh-Whitebeard???"
Before Danzo could feel any relief, an overwhelming sense of fear surged through him.
Hyuga clan residence.
Danzo felt like he was suffocating, barely able to catch his breath!
"It's Whitebeard!"
In just a few years, or maybe even five or six years, no one would remember the fleeting existence of the Whitebeard Pirates.
In their eyes, as long as the Whitebeard Pirates didn't cause them trouble, they were already grateful.
The reactions of all the Hyuga clan members were almost identical to his own.
With various negative emotions flooding his mind, he couldn't think calmly at all.
Fortunately, during the time the Whitebeard Pirates were missing, he had already transplanted his legs.
"Hey, hey, hey, this must be a joke, right? Disappearing and reappearing just like that, isn't this a bit too mysterious?"
Before he could take a bite of his meal, he was startled by the sudden burst of Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki.
The familiar and overwhelming pressure almost filled Danzo's heart.
"Bang——"
Hyuga Hiashi gazed into the distance, murmuring to himself.
After all, although "Root" was officially managed by Mitokado Homura, in reality, the members only listened to Danzo.
This also caused his body to instinctively break out in a cold sweat.
...
"I've heard a bit about this... If I'm not mistaken, those should be Uchiha Shisui's eyes!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't protect him, let alone those two old geezers, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu. They would be more than happy to see Danzo dead and take over his entire Root.
Hyuga Hiashi's hand holding a teacup trembled, causing it to fall and shatter into pieces. His usually stern face was now filled with shock.
"The Whitebeard Pirates are back. Does that mean Hinata and Neji have returned with them?"
After all, who would remember a pirate crew that wreaked havoc over the ninja world? That would be insane, right?
However...
Kurenai's fair forehead was covered in cold sweat, her beautiful eyes filled with horror, "Is this really Whitebeard? Could it be someone impersonating him?"
Sarutobi Asuma was so frightened by Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki that he bit through his cigarette.
He had planned to use this gathering as an opportunity to publicly confess his feelings to his crush, Kurenai.
Who would have thought that before he could even start, Whitebeard would interrupt.
Before Sarutobi Asuma could speak, Might Guy suddenly widened his eyes, his thick eyebrows twitching.
He was the only one present with an excited expression on his face.
"Whitebeard is back? Does that mean Kakashi is back too? Hahaha! Woohoo! Hahaha!"
Might Guy burst into tears and laughter, his face showing an excited smile while tears continuously streamed from his eyes.
Even snot was flowing from his nose.
No one else could be this excited.
"I knew it! I knew Kakashi wouldn't leave me! I knew Kakashi wouldn't abandon the spirit of youth!"
"Kakashi! I'm coming, Kakashi!!!"
Might Guy completely ignored the pressure of the Conqueror's Haki.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone, he hurriedly ran out.
Indeed, Kakashi was his "true love"!
It's a pity, but Kakashi didn't return to Konohagakure this time.
...
"Shikaku, is that Whitebeard?!"
Akimichi Chouza suppressed the nervousness rising in his heart, but the shock and astonishment on his face were impossible to hide.
Standing beside him, Nara Shikaku nodded solemnly, "In the entire ninja world, only Whitebeard can do such thing. Just his presence alone is enough to scare Jonin"
Nara Shikaku honestly admitted that he was indeed scared stiff by the Conqueror's Haki for a moment.
After all, there's no shame in it; the opponent is Whitebeard!
"Whitebeard is back..." Yamanaka Inoichi's face was full of anticipation, his fingers nervously rubbing together, showing no sign that he was the current head of the Yamanaka clan.
Yamanaka Inoichi murmured to himself, "Ino has been missing for more than a year. I thought there would be no more news of her."
He had only one daughter. How could he not hope for her return?
Although Yamanaka Inoichi's voice was not loud, the two people beside him heard it.
Mentioning their children, the three of them fell silent.
The reason was simple. Their sons or daughters had all disappeared with the Whitebeard Pirates for more than a year.
During this year, they tried various ways to find them but found nothing, not a single clue.
Unexpectedly... when they had almost given up hope, the Whitebeard Pirates they had been longing for finally appeared!
Does this mean their children can come back too?
"Chouji..." Akimichi Chouza was already restless.
He wanted to go and see if his child was there!
But as soon as he had this thought.
Yamanaka Inoichi had already run over.
"Hey? Wait for me!!!" Akimichi Chouza hurriedly followed.
"You guys..."
Seeing this, Nara Shikaku sighed helplessly, but then seemed to remember something, shivering involuntarily, "I almost forgot... If I don't hurry and bring Shikamaru home, my wife will kill me!"
Shikaku also rushed over in a hurry.
...
Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu, the three members of Konohagakure's F4, were already rushing towards the direction of Whitebeard's voice.
Because they realized that Whitebeard was very likely to cause chaos in the village.
They couldn't let him do that!
The village had just been restored! If Whitebeard caused trouble again, wouldn't it cost a lot of money?
Besides, they couldn't let a pirate cause trouble in the village every time, could they?
Where would Konohagakure's face be then?
Moreover, even if Danzo had done something wrong, he was still an old hero of Konohagakure.
If they just watched Danzo being targeted by Whitebeard, they would inevitably feel a sense of shared fate.
So, the three of them made a very consistent decision—to see if they could protect Danzo.
If they could, they would try their best to do so.
If he can't be saved...
Well, there's no other way.
So, it was clear that Danzo, with his petty mind, was judging the other three petty people.
Behind the three were a group of Anbu guards who quickly followed.
Before long, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw a familiar face.
It was a child who had grown significantly taller.
The child's eyebrows and features faintly resembled Minato's.
Especially the striking blonde hair.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had very complicated feelings towards Naruto.
Because he still remembered how Naruto had once exposed him, shattering his "golden image" as the Hokage of Konohagakure.
Even though a long time had passed, the younger generation in the village no longer looked at him with the same admiration.
But Naruto's identity was too special.
Even though Naruto had completely joined the Whitebeard Pirates.
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't completely give up certain thoughts.
This was Konohagakure's Jinchuriki!
This was Konohagakure's tailed beast!
"Uzumaki Naruto? Hey! Where's Whitebeard?" In contrast, Utatane Koharu didn't care about so many details. She noticed that Whitebeard was not here and immediately questioned Naruto.
"You're asking Pops?" Naruto looked up at the stern-faced old lady and casually muttered, "Pops went straight to catch that guy named Danzo!"
"With Pops' Observation Haki, he locked onto Danzo's exact location in an instant. Hmph! That bastard stole Shisui's eyes, there's no way Pops would let him go!"
Now, when facing these Konohagakure higher-ups, Naruto no longer had the respect he once did.
And he wasn't afraid at all.
Because Naruto knew that behind him stood the mighty Whitebeard Pirates!
"What?!!"
Utatane Koharu's pupils shrank instantly. It seemed that Danzo might not be able to save himself.
But seeing this large group of kids in front of her, she suddenly had a different idea.
Whitebeard wasn't here, but his sons and daughters were.
And they were just a bunch of snot-nosed kids.
If she took this opportunity...
However, before she could act on her bold idea, Mitokado Homura, who was behind her, keenly noticed that there were two adults behind the kids.
"Tsunade?!"
Mitokado Homura, leaning on his cane, looked at the yawning Tsunade, and the other adult was naturally Tsunade's disciple, Shizune.
"Why are you calling me?"
"Spit it out if you have something to say!"
Tsunade's disdainful and impatient tone was even ruder than Naruto's.
Because she had always disliked these people.
...
...
On the other side.
Danzo, who only wanted to escape Konohagakure and find a hidden place to lay low, was sprinting at full speed when he finally saw a wall surrounding the village ahead.
Danzo was overjoyed. As long as he climbed over the wall, he would be outside the village.
Outside the village, he would be like a needle in the ocean.
How could Whitebeard possibly find a needle like him in the entire ninja world?
"Hmph! I can't beat you, but I can hide! And I can wait it out!"
Danzo muttered to himself as he ran frantically.
His eyes were filled with gloom and coldness.
After all, how could he be in a good mood in this situation?
"Hmm? Is that... a cloud?!"
But soon Danzo noticed a shadow beneath him.
And this huge shadow was following him closely!
"Wait! That's not a cloud! How could a cloud's shadow be so small?"
Danzo's hair stood on end!
He immediately looked up.
"Gurararararara! Where do you think you're going?!!!" Whitebeard's Haki-filled laughter suddenly echoed from above.
Whitebeard had already locked onto Danzo's position, having leaped hundreds of meters into the air.
By the time Danzo noticed, Whitebeard was already descending.
And Whitebeard's right fist was surrounded by a layer of vibrating light waves!
"My idiot son's eyes are temporarily with you!"
"It's time to return them!!!"
"Gurara!!!"
...
