Chapter 111: Won’t You Pay Back the Money You Owe Whitebeard? Countdown to the Opening of Ninja School!
Coast of the Fire Nation.
In a coastal town hung with the flags of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Tsunade-sama! Tsunade-sama! Something big happened! Something big happened in the ninja world! And... and this big thing in the ninja world is related to Mr. Whitebeard!!"
"Eh? Tsunade-sama, why are you drinking so much again? You were so drunk yesterday, and you're so drunk again today?"
Shizune holding a little piglet.
Urgently, he found Tsunade.
Tsunade, Shizune...the two of them traveled across the entire Fire Country to this place while searching for Whitebeard.
Mainly because they didn't expect that an old man in his seventies could actually walk like this.
Whitebeard didn't just travel across the Fire Nation.
He even ran across the sea to the Kingdom of Water.
The place where Tsunade and Shizune are currently is the coastal town of Fire Country that Whitebeard passed before leaving Fire Country.
The town was already in a dilapidated state.
But after many months of rebuilding.
It looks decent.
At least the remaining residents of the town will have a place to live. There is no need to become a beggar, and there is no need to sleep on the streets and wander the ninja world.
Tsunade sat on a chair in a small town tavern.
Holding a shot glass.
She was drunk.
"Huh? Shizune? Hiccup!" Tsunade let out a wine burp, her cheeks on both sides were a little crimson, and her whole body was smelling of alcohol. She said vaguely: "What's the big thing related to Whitebeard?" Could it be that the old man captured another town and then hung a bunch of pirate flags there?"
"Tsunade-sama! Mr. Whitebeard, he killed the fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village in the Kingdom of Water!" Shizune said hurriedly: "That's the fourth Mizukage named Goju Yagura!"
"Isn't it just to kill just one... huh?"
Tsunade reacted in a daze: "Killed the fourth Mizukage? Mizukage...hiss! What? Mizukage!?"
Tsunade's sobriety only lasted a moment.
The blush on her cheeks quickly faded.
The hint of drunkenness in his eyes quickly disappeared.
The whole person became extremely sober.
The eyes regained their clarity.
"He went to the Kingdom of Water and killed the Mizukage of a Ninja Village?" Tsunade couldn't help but widen her eyes a little: "Not long ago, he killed the leader of a Grass Ninja Village in the Kingdom of Grass. Bar?"
"Are you sure this isn't some unreliable gossip?" Tsunade frowned. This news doesn't sound very reliable!
"Tsunade-sama, what we know is relatively late." Shizune smiled bitterly and said: "It is said that this news has been spread in the Kingdom of Water for a long time. It should not be false news."
"...This, kills the Kage of a ninja village."
Tsunade suddenly had a headache: "Isn't that old man afraid that he will be assassinated by those crazy blood mist ninjas?"
Tsunade knows Kirigakure Village fairly well.
She knew very well that the Blood Mist Ninjas in Kirigakure Village were like mad dogs, and they would never let go until they bit people to death.
It's okay to say that a small ninja village like the Grass Ninja Village, even if this village is destroyed, the turmoil caused in the ninja world will not be too outrageous.
But the Kirigakure Village that Whitebeard provoked...
It is one of the five great ninja villages!
Tsunade gritted her teeth: "I told him to take a good rest and told him several times! Why doesn't this willful old man know how to follow the doctor's orders?"
…
Konoha Village.
Hokage Building.
The sound of sucking on the cigarette holder is always very irritating. The entire Hokage's office was filled with smoke.
After taking over the root of Mito Gate Flame from Danzo Shimura, as soon as he opened the door of the Hokage's office, he found a cloud of smoke coming towards him.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!" Mito Menyan bent over and coughed repeatedly, almost falling off his glasses.
The smell of cigarette smoke made him cry.
"Sarutobi, can't you open the window when you smoke?" Mito Menyan finally got used to it.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Sarutobi Hiruzen said he was sorry, but it could be seen from his frowning expression that his current reply was very perfunctory.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had a worried expression on his face.
"It seems...you already know what happened in the Kingdom of Water." Mito Kadoyan understood after seeing him like this: "There is no need for me to tell you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
"Yes! The news has spread so widely, it's hard not to know." Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "Killing a fourth generation Mizukage is no joke. Whitebeard doesn't know at all, he How much trouble will this cause?"
Mito Kadoyan interrupted and said: "From the moment he killed a Daimyo of the Land of Grass, we should have known that Whitebeard, a man, is not afraid of trouble at all."
"Indeed, I forgot he was a pirate."
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned: "The problem is that the child Naruto is still with Whitebeard. The more trouble Whitebeard causes, the greater the possibility that Naruto will be in danger."
Speaking of which.
Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth, and anger could not help but well up: "If Naruto falls into the hands of other ninja villages, how should our generation explain to the first Hokage?"
After all...Naruto falling into the hands of other ninja villages means that the tailed beasts of Konoha Village will also fall into the hands of other ninja villages.
Once Konoha loses a big killer like a jinchuriki.
The overall strength will drop down a level.
In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say a word - that whitebeard, he actually dared to kill the "shadow" of Ninja Village!
The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen learned the news.
He still had some lingering fears.
"Perhaps we can look at it from another angle." Mito Kadoen said: "I heard that not only the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village died at the hands of Whitebeard, but many other ninjas in Kirigakure Village also died. This shows that, At this time, Kirigakure Village’s national power is very weak.”
"Oh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows. He could probably guess what Mito Katoyan wanted to say, but he still asked: "Yan, what are your thoughts?"
Mito Monen said: "Sarutobi, there has been a dispute over the division of some islands between us and the Kingdom of Water."
The pair of eyes under the lenses narrowed slightly.
"We Konoha can take this opportunity to gain some territory. The Water Kingdom at this stage will never dare to conflict with us."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked the beard on his chin.
"Let me think about it."
At this time, Mito Kaden suddenly thought of something, and he continued: "Sarutobi, I think it is difficult for the jinchuriki to fall into the hands of the enemy. Don't forget what day it is in two months. Don't forget, the jinchuriki What exactly is the 'dream'?"
"Of course I know Naruto's dream. That little guy's dream is to become Hokage, or even surpass me as Hokage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen had just said this.
His cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ninja school starts!!"
…
"Shikamaru! Shikamaru! I heard some incredible news from the adults in the clan!" Choji Akimichi held a bag of potato chips and waved to Nara Shikamaru who was walking in front.
Shikamaru showed an expression that combined world-weariness and decadence.
A kid showing such an expression is obviously very pretentious.
But it was unexpectedly suitable on his face.
Shikamaru walked slowly to Choji's side. Before Choji could speak, he said first, "Is there something about Naruto?"
"Huh?" Dingci scratched his head: "This has all been guessed."
"Is it what happened to Naruto's father?" Shikamaru said again.
"Huh?" Dingci was shocked: "Do you even know?"
"Please, who in the village doesn't know now?"
Shikamaru rolled his eyes helplessly.
Looking up at the strange white clouds in the blue sky, he continued: "The Mizukage should be similar to the Hokage. Naruto's father killed a Mizukage. In Konoha Village, it is equivalent to him killing the Hokage. grown ups."
Choji was so frightened that he dropped his potato chips.
His face was stunned: "Is this... so serious?"
Choji swallowed secretly.
"Then...Naruto, can he still return to Konoha Village?" Choji asked weakly.
"It shouldn't be a problem for him to come back alone. But if his father comes back with him, do you think he is someone who has killed the leader of Kusanagi Village and the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village?"
Shikamaru said in a complicated tone: "Will the village let such a dangerous person enter? Once that time comes, there is a high probability that a big conflict will occur."
He was obviously just a child about the same age as Naruto.
But the question Shikamaru was thinking about and the tone of his voice.
Like a thoughtful adult.
Choji was troubled: "But the ninja school is about to start. In that case... Naruto won't be able to come back?"
"Who knows about such a thing?"
Shikamaru shook his head.
…
Whoosh - with a slight sound breaking through the air, a wooden kunai flew towards the Uchiha clan leader.
But he caught it easily.
Looking at Uchiha Sasuke who was panting from exhaustion in front of him, Uchiha Fugaku shook his head in disappointment: "Compared with Itachi, he is still far behind... not even one-tenth."
Sasuke's tired face darkened.
His mood seemed a little depressed: "Father, is my brother already very powerful at my age?"
"Sasuke, you are seven years old this year, and you have the last two months before you enter the ninja school." Fugaku sighed, and he said: "Itachi, at your age... he has already graduated from the ninja school. ”
"Moreover, he graduated with the highest score in the Ninja School, becoming the best Ninja School graduate in that class. The next year, he opened the Sharingan."
"In another two years, he will stand out from the chunin exams on his own. In another one or two years, he will join the ANBU."
After telling his eldest son’s achievements.
Uchiha Fugaku is still a little proud.
But when he thought of Itachi's character and his incompatible views on the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village, Fugaku couldn't help but sigh again.
"Sasuke, do you think you can reach the level of your brother?" In fact, he also knew that as a father, he should not be like this, asking for a son who has just turned seven years old.
But Fugaku couldn't help but compare Sasuke and Itachi.
Then, Fugaku discovered that the two brothers were obviously born to the same father and mother, so why were there such big differences?
I didn’t cheat on myself either!
"...Brother is so good, but I can't reach his level. I think it's normal, right?" After Sasuke said weakly, he tried to cheer up: "I don't want to surpass my brother, I just want to Surpass that Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Uzumaki Naruto?" This was the first time Fugaku heard this familiar name from Sasuke.
Fugaku's expression changed slightly.
"How do you know him?" He asked Sasuke: "Did someone in the clan say something to you that you shouldn't have said?"
"No, no!" Sasuke suddenly noticed that his father's face had become very scary.
He explained in a low voice aggrievedly: "I met Uzumaki Naruto and his father Whitebeard by chance before."
Fugaku secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that so?" Fugaku pondered for a moment and asked, "So, you want to surpass Uzumaki Naruto?"
Sasuke cheered up and nodded heavily: "That's right!"
"But do you know what he is doing with his adoptive father now?" Fugaku shook his head and said: "Uzumaki Naruto followed his adoptive father Whitebeard and destroyed a ninja village outside and killed a ninja sword seven. Everyone, kill the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village."
"And you?" Fugaku found that when he compared Sasuke and Naruto, Sasuke seemed even more useless.
With a little force, he crushed the wooden kunai in his hand: "Sasuke, you are too hothouse flower."
Sasuke stood there with a dull face.
"me……"
Sasuke made up his mind and said: "Father! Please train me! Train me to the maximum limit that I can bear! When I start the ninja school, I will also be the number one in my class! I want to keep my brother's glory. I cannot disgrace the Uchiha clan, I want to surpass Naruto Uzumaki!"
"I want Naruto to know that I am more powerful than him when he comes back!" Sasuke gritted his teeth: "I will make him take back what he said to me!!"
Fugaku was slightly startled.
"It looks a bit decent."
He smiled.
…
The land of water.
Kirigakure Village.
Nowadays, Kirigakure Village has changed its face. Although the position of "Mizukage" is still vacant, various high-level officials in Kirigakure Village are still running the village.
Because, if they don't run the village...
I can't afford to pay back the money I owe to Whitebeard!
Terumi Mei promised to give Whitebeard Kirigakure Village a year's financial income, and she used this bargaining chip to hire the Whitebeard Pirates. She also said that this number would not be less than 500 million taels.
That is to say...
If one year later, Wuyin Village cannot come up with 500 million taels of working capital to give Whitebeard.
hiss! The senior officials of Kirigakure Village had a hard time imagining what would happen.
Whitebeard has gone from being the domineering "Party B".
He became a creditor of Kirigakure Village.
Another thing that troubled them was that Whitebeard actually hung a pirate flag on the Mizukage office building in Kirigakure Village!
A very huge pirate flag was hung on the building. Those who didn't know it thought it was some kind of pirate den!
Moreover, Whitebeard and his gang hold banquets in the village every three days.
The key is that the funds for the banquet were advanced by Kirigakure Village.
Millions of taels were spent in just over a month.
You know, Kirigakure Village is poor! Even though Kirigakure Village is surrounded by the sea and rich in resources, the problem is that after the bloody mist policy over the years, Kirigakure Village is even more impoverished than Sunagakure Village.
They just invited a group of "big men" into the village!
Just when Kirigakure's senior officials were looking sad.
A sudden piece of good news...
They were beaten until they were dizzy.
"What? Whitebeard is leaving?" A senior elder of Kirigakure Village widened his eyes in disbelief: "He is leaving Kirigakure Village? Or even leaving the Kingdom of Water? Isn't his pirate ship still under construction? Are you there? Why are you leaving so soon? "
"Terumi Mei asked Whitebeard, and Whitebeard admitted that his son has reached the age to enter the Konoha Village Ninja School." Next to him, another senior Kirigakure executive said: "Whitebeard also said that his son's dream is to Become the Hokage of Konoha."
He paused and continued: "Of course he wants to return to Konoha and let his son... that is, the blond brat named Uzumaki Naruto, enroll in the ninja school in Konoha Village."
Next to him, the elder of Kirigakure's hawk faction frowned.
"Whitebeard's blond son is also from the Leaf Village?" The hawk elder snorted: "If he continues to stay in the village, I will be rude to them!"
"That bastard actually planted a pirate flag on the Mizukage office building. What does he think of our Kirigakure Village? Does he think of this place as his pirate den?"
No one in the group of Kirigakure senior officials cared about his oral pleasure.
One of the gray-haired old ladies said: "Whitebeard's departure is actually a bad thing for us now. The current Kirigakure Village is very weak. Recently, Whitebeard has been sitting here, frightening Xiao Xiao .”
"Otherwise, I don't know how many packs of wolves want to bite off a piece of meat from Kirigakure Village!" The old lady continued: "After all, it is the white beard that killed the Fourth Mizukage. He wore it here for a day and surrounded Kirigakure Village. The surrounding pack of wolves will be afraid for a day.”
No one here refuted what she said because they couldn't find any reason to refute.
That's the fact.
They don't want Whitebeard, a pirate, to stay in Kirigakure Village. After all, if this is the case... will their Kirigakure village still have the surname Kirigakure? But they want Whitebeard to stay here, after all, no one among them will question Whitebeard's incomparable strength.
"By the way..." After everyone was silent for a long time, a senior member of Kirigakure suddenly said: "If Whitebeard goes to the Land of Fire, do we not have to pay back the money we owe him?"
He added: "And the ship he wants to build consumes too much manpower and material resources. Can we not build it?"
After saying these two sentences, he found that all the senior Kirigakure colleagues were looking at him.
The two people next to him also moved their buttocks outside.
As if to stay away from him.
Although the elder of the hawk faction was very unhappy, he had no choice but to speak directly: "When that pirate comes back, don't spill your blood on me."
"So..." At this time, someone suddenly interrupted and said: "Has the candidate for Mizukage been decided? Whitebeard is leaving the Kingdom of Water, so he must not be chosen, right?"
"This..." One of the elders hesitated: "A new Mizukage was chosen so soon?"
"Well..." He looked at everyone: "How about we wait for Whitebeard to come back and choose a Mizukage based on Whitebeard's opinion? After all, if Whitebeard is not satisfied with the Mizukage we choose, he will change the Mizukage. What if the shadow is killed?"
Everyone: "..."
Although, these words sound extremely ridiculous.
But based on their stereotype of Whitebeard, and thinking about it carefully in their minds, they felt that this kind of thing was really possible.
Kirigakure Village was completely controlled by Whitebeard.
They clearly knew that Beard was about to leave with his "pirate group", but they always felt that there were Whitebeards in all directions.
…
"Fire Country! Konoha Village! Ninja School!"
Naruto was carrying a surprisingly heavy load, and the gate of Kirigakure Village was already a hundred meters away behind him.
A group of them left Kirigakure Village.
Naruto took heavy steps, his clothes were wet with sweat, and said with a bright smile: "Soon, I will be able to see Choji, Shikamaru, and Sasuke again!"
Return to Konoha Village and enroll in Ninja School.
was Naruto's initial thought.
Naruto believes that if he wants to become the Hokage of Konoha, the first place to start should be the ninja school! He wanted to start from the ninja school and let the people in the village change their view of him, Uzumaki Naruto.
Naruto had illusions and filters about ninja school.
"Dad, can we also let Xiang Lian and Bai Ya apply for admission to the ninja school together?"
Naruto said enthusiastically.
"Naruto, the two of them don't have a birth certificate from the Leaf Village, nor a certificate from the War Orphans of the Leaf Village." Kakashi interrupted: "The Ninja School is very strict in recruiting students."
Whitebeard smiled boldly: "My Whitebeard's son and daughter want to enter school. Which guy in your Konoha Village dares not to admit them? It's time to learn something, you idiots!"
"Otherwise, you guys who don't know a single word will not be able to manage the increasingly large Whitebeard Pirates in the future!"
“Goo la la la!!!”
