Chapter 215 Whitebeard Appears! The Image of the Third Hokage Has Long Been Shattered to Pieces!

The land of water.

The original "Cado Shipyard" has now been renamed "Whitebeard Pirates Shipyard", and even the shipyard's logo has been replaced with the Whitebeard Pirates' pirate flag pattern.

now.

There are only a few ships in the dock of the shipyard.

Because this pier cannot accommodate other ships at all, most of the entire pier is occupied by a large ship.

now.

There was a group of people standing at the dock of the shipyard, including shipyard workers, shipyard directors, and even people from Kirigakure Village.

"Is this the 'Moby Dick' that the Whitebeard Pirates are going to build?" Kirigakure Jonin "Ao" had already taken off an eyepatch.

He looked at the Moby-Dick ahead with one white eye.

All the various structures inside Moby Dick fell into his eyes.

Seeing him, he was stunned: "Isn't this ship too big? There are too many cabins inside, isn't it?"

The big ship in front of me looked like a giant beast floating on the sea.

Compared with the few merchant ships docked at the dock of the shipyard, compared with this amazing ship, it is like comparing a few mice with a giant whale.

Just standing in front of this big ship, you can feel the pressure coming towards you.

It's a little breathless.

Qing couldn't help but murmur to himself: "How many people are needed to drive such a big ship? How much wind is needed... to blow its sails?"

At this time, "Yang Yi", the person in charge of the nearby shipyard, answered his question: "If you want to move this Moby Dick, you will need at least 100 people. The wind on the sea is very strong, blowing the ship. The sail isn’t a problem.”

Yang paused and continued: "The entire ship is made of the strongest materials, and it is even plated with solid steel in some places, making the ship even more solid."

"This ship has cabins for resting, restaurants, storage warehouses, entertainment rooms, training rooms, cells, and treasure rooms..."

"And the most important captain's cabin!" Yang Yi said with a smile: "The captain's cabin is the largest cabin in the entire Moby Dick. This is the captain's cabin tailor-made for Lord Whitebeard."

Hearing this, Qing was speechless.

Where is this pirate ship?

This is simply a terrifying giant warship!

Is it not a problem for such a big ship to transport thousands of ninjas casually?

If it were used as a troop transport ship, wouldn't it be possible to transport thousands of ninjas to the enemy country at one time?

"How much does it cost?" Qing suddenly became a little jealous.

Can their Kirigakure Village build a few similar ships?

Yang Yi said calmly: "The production cost is nearly 1 billion!"

green:"……"

Well, when he thought nothing of it.

"Master Whitebeard is in the Leaf Village of the Fire Country. We need 100 skilled sailors from Kirigakure Village to transport this Moby Dick to the Fire Country." Yoichi said.

"We also need the ninjas of Kirigakure Village to protect this ship. At least when Lord Whitebeard sees this Moby Dick, this ship must be in an intact posture."

"No problem." Everyone is under the command of the Whitebeard Pirates, so Ao naturally has no objection to this.

By the time this trip is over, the Chunin Exam might be over.

He could also pick up all the genin who were participating in the chunin exams along the way.

It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

…

Today is the last day before the third round of Chunin Exams.

A ward of Konoha Hospital and some high-end medical equipment were temporarily requisitioned by the Whitebeard Pirates.

The director of Konoha Hospital, including those at the top of Konoha Village, did not express any opinions on this.

In the ward.

Kimimaro was stripped naked and lying on a hospital bed.

This made Kimimaro feel very uncomfortable. He always felt like a white mouse that had been skinned.

"Kids Kimimaro, don't be afraid, and don't react too aggressively."

Shizune was wearing a white coat, and she was holding a blood-drawing needle in her hand.

Although Shizune was wearing a mask, her expression could not be seen clearly.

But you can hear it from her tone of voice.

She really didn't mean anything malicious.

Shizune explained: "If we want to study the Kaguya clan's hereditary disease with limited blood inheritance, we must draw some blood from you."

"Later, you still need to use your blood inheritance limit, let me scrape some bone powder down." Shizune smiled slightly: "Don't think about taking the opportunity to escape, I am a special jounin of Konoha!"

Kimimaro slowly calmed down.

No matter how confident he is, he is still only ten years old this year.

The words "Konoha's special jounin" are not something that Kimimaro can touch at the moment.

Shizune first drew a tube of blood from Kimimaro's body, and then scraped a lot of bone powder from Kimimaro's body.

The amount of bone meal is so large that several test tubes are needed to hold it.

Shizune walked outside with these two things.

On the bench outside the ward...

Sitting there was Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sama, are you sure you want to personally study the blood of the Kaguya clan?" Shizune asked weakly: "How about I study the blood and you study the bone meal?"

Tsunade shook her head and said: "The blood-stained disease of blood-stricken ninjas is not as simple as you think. Your level of medical ninjutsu is not enough to detect any clues."

Tsunade's words sounded a little heartbreaking.

But it's also true.

Although Shizune is Tsunade's direct disciple, their medical skills are definitely very different.

"After all, I have boasted so much in front of that brat Uzumaki Naruto. If I don't cure the brat inside, will I, Tsunade-hime, still have my medical ethics and face?"

Tsunade smiled a little: "Don't worry, after the previous battle with Orochimaru, I feel that my tolerance for blood is much better than before."

"Then...then this tube of blood is for you." Shizune carefully handed Kimimaro's blood in the test tube to Tsunade.

Tsunade took the test tube.

Shizune's fingertips made light contact with the back of Tsunade's hand. Shizune's eyes widened a bit and she said hurriedly: "Tsunade-sama, your hands are trembling. Are you sure everything is okay?"

"Stop... stop being so verbose..." Not to mention her hands trembling, even Tsunade's voice was trembling as she spoke.

But she bit her lower lip: "That brat Naruto has the courage to fight Orochimaru. Don't I, the noble Sannin of Konoha, have the courage to look directly at such a tube of blood?"

When Tsunade said this, her eyes were staring at the blood in the test tube in her hand.

The intense fear welling up in her heart made her palms sweat.

"call!!!"

Tsunade let out a heavy breath.

She looked away with difficulty.

He cast his gaze on Shizune and said to his disciple: "Shizune, stay here and watch the kid inside. That guy is a prisoner of the Whitebeard Pirates, don't let that kid take the opportunity to escape. "

At this point, a hint of gloom flashed in Tsunade's eyes: "That guy Orochimaru is going too far. He adopted such a child and actually wants to use him as a reincarnation container?"

Although Tsunade didn't know what strange ninjutsu Orochimaru had learned.

But... as long as you think about the four words "reincarnation container", you can roughly understand what is going on.

If Tsunade guessed correctly, Orochimaru should have regarded Kimimaro as a tool.

Wait until something goes wrong with Orochimaru's body.

It can be replaced with Kimimaro's container.

However, this kid named Kimimaro seemed to have been brainwashed by Orochimaru, which gave Tsunade a headache: "Naruto, this guy has captured a troublesome kid!"

The key is……

Naruto is a very clever kid and wants to use her, Tsunade's, medical skills to make Kimimaro owe a favor to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Then use this favor to break Orochimaru's brainwashing of Kimimaro.

Can a kid really think of this kind of operation?

However, since she had already boasted so much before, Tsunade couldn't afford to be shameless.

And she also received the benefits.

"...Okay, Tsunade-sama, if you need anything, please tell me immediately!" Shizune replied with a worried tone.

Shizune is still a little worried about Tsunade-sama's hemophobia.

…

at the same time.

Hokage Building.

"Hokage-sama... the final field for the third round of the Chuunin Examination has been repaired, and candidates can be arranged to enter it at any time."

An ANBU ninja came to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He was reporting the status of the Chunin Exams to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Originally, the final venue for the third round of the Chunin Exam had been built long ago, but due to the turmoil in Konoha Village some time ago, the final venue for the third round of the Chunin Exam was also affected.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had to mobilize some ninjas and some construction workers to quickly restore the final venue to its original state.

Hearing the ANBU ninja's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as the repair is completed, it will be restored to its original state."

All kinds of things happened in recent days, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen a little nervous.

Now, finally there is one thing, which is barely a good thing.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe.

After taking a puff of the cigarette, he looked a bit sighing: "I just hope that this Chuunin exam can be successfully completed!"

This time the Chunin Examination in Konoha Village was undoubtedly a failure.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew that his anger was useless.

So what if you are angry? Where can he vent his anger?

Should he be allowed to vent his anger on the Whitebeard Pirates?

Isn’t that seeking death?

What makes Sarutobi Hiruzen even more troublesome is...most of the candidates who advance to the third round of the Chunin Exam this time are very complex.

Uzumaki Naruto, Shiro, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uchiha Izumi, these four are the sons and daughters of Whitebeard.

There are nine genin in Kirigakure Village, and they also have a close relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Sarutobi Hiruzen feels the relationship between Kirigakure Village and the Whitebeard Pirates...

It was a bit hard for him to understand.

Didn't Whitebeard kill one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village? Didn't he also kill the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, as well as a very large number of Kirigakure Village ninjas?

In this case, shouldn't Kirigakure regard the Whitebeard Pirates as their lifelong enemies?

But what happened under the eyes of Hiruzen Sarutobi was that Kirigakure helped the Whitebeard Pirates guard a group of prisoners.

The relationship between the two parties is incredibly close.

Kirigakure Village gives Sarutobi Hiruzen a bit of a "Grass Ninja Village" visual feel.

He didn't know if this was his imagination.

"If the Kirigakure Village is closely related to the Whitebeard Pirates." Sarutobi Hiruzen bit his dentures: "Then this Chuunin Exam is not a 'game' held for the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Of all the candidates who advanced to the third round, only Inuzuka Hana has nothing to do with the Whitebeard Pirates, right?"

…

The next day.

early morning.

Konoha Village has spent several days recovering, and compared to the devastation on the day of the war, it is now much better.

It must be said that Konoha has a strong foundation.

If a random ninja village in the ninja world was damaged like that some time ago, it would definitely be difficult to recover within a month or two.

But Konoha is different.

In less than five days, Konoha recovered 30% to 40%.

If Konoha is given half a month...

I'm afraid, it's hard to tell that there was a war in Konoha.

Today is also a rather special day.

Because the third round of the Chunin Examination is held today.

At this moment.

In the finals of the third round of the Chuunin Examination, many people had gathered, and they were all spectators who came to watch the competition this time.

The finals venue covers a very large area, and the building as a whole looks like a low, huge hollow cylinder.

There is a circular flat ground in the center, where the candidates for the third round of Chunin Exams will compete in the finals.

Surrounded by layers of steps and seats, this is the auditorium. The number of chairs adds up to at least a thousand.

There were already many people sitting in the auditorium.

Most of them are ninjas in the village, students from ninja schools, ninjas from other villages, and some are civilians in the village.

Iruka came here with a group of his students, and he sat in a row with a group of students.

Look from left to right.

They are Iruka, Karosus, Hinata, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Sakura, Kiba, Shino...

In front of Iruka is Mr. Mizuki from the Ninja School.

He also followed Iruka and brought his students here.

Neji was among them.

"Gaba Gaba... Teacher Iruka, where is Naruto? Gaba Gaba... why didn't I see him?"

Choji asked Iruka curiously while chewing potato chips.

Iruka smiled slightly and replied with a complicated expression: "Naruto and the others must be in the players' seats now. His position should not be visible from our direction."

It's hard to express Iruka's mood in words.

Has it been three months since the Ninja School started? Three of his students have already taken the Chunin Exams!

They even advanced to the third round of exams.

Iruka was a bit dreamy.

Next to him, Shikamaru turned his head to the back. He pursed his lips and muttered: "Dad is actually here too."

Shikamaru saw his father.

He said to Choji and Ino, "Uncle Choza and Uncle Haiichi are here too."

Choji said "Huh".

He quickly turned around and looked back with Shikamaru, and sure enough he saw his father not far away: "It's true! It's dad!"

Ino seemed not to hear what Shikamaru said.

She pulled her hair, with a nervous look on her white and tender face: "This is the chunin exam, will Bai-kun be injured? Damn it, if someone hurt Bai-kun, I definitely won't." I will let him go! Even if I can’t defeat that person, I will secretly draw a villain to curse him!”

This face control is even more heavyweight.

With a person who has unrequited love, he even ignores his own father.

Hinata murmured: "I, I also saw my father."

The "father" she refers to is not the white-bearded father.

It was Hinata Hizu, the head of the Hyuga clan.

Neji frowned and looked around: "Can't you see Shiro from this position?"

He thought for a while and finally didn't roll his eyes.

Then... Neji looked at Ino at the rear right.

He found that the girl had been muttering Bai's name.

Neji's frown deepened: "This guy looks like a wild boar in heat. He seems to have a good relationship with Shiro."

"Damn it! That bastard named Uchiha Sasuke has actually already taken the Chunin Exam!" Inuzuka Kiba was filled with envy: "How on earth did he qualify to take the exam?"

"And the one named Uzumaki Naruto, and the one named Shiro, how did the three of them do it? Did the three of them take advantage of some loophole in the rules?"

Inuzuka Kiba wished he could take the Chunin Exam and steal the show like Naruto and the others.

"Woof woof!" the Akamaru puppy in his arms echoed several times.

Shino said nothing.

remained silent.

The sense of presence is very low.

"Isn't dad here yet?" Xiang Ling's eyes were also wandering, and she murmured to herself: "Last night, I remember dad said that he wanted to come and see how Naruto and the others were doing."

"Um?"

Suddenly, Xiang Ling keenly sensed an aura that made her unhappy.

This is the role played by the ineffective seeing, hearing, and color at that time.

Kosovo, who was born with the "Kagura Heart's Eye", was not much worse than Naruto in talent when it came to practicing the color of sight.

The reason why her knowledge, knowledge and color are sometimes effective and sometimes not effective.

It's because the physical strength of Xiang Phosphorus is relatively weak.

"The Hokage is here." Xiang Lian said to several people around him.

…

On the other side of the third round finals of the Chunin Exams.

On a very conspicuous high platform.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wears a very conspicuous Hokage robe.

This is a red and white robe with flame patterns on the edges and the words Sandaime Hokage embroidered on the back.

He even wore a Hokage hat on his head.

This shows his identity as the third generation Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also surrounded by a group of Konoha jounin, chuunin exam examiners, and outside village leader jounin.

His appearance was very large.

Sarutobi Hiruzen attracted the attention of many people in the audience.

If it were changed to before.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen appears in front of so many people, he will definitely cause a burst of cheers. After all, he has been the third generation Hokage for so long and is still very prestigious in the village.

but……

Today is different from the past.

"It's the Third Hokage!" A civilian in the audience lowered his voice and muttered: "I heard someone say the day before yesterday that it was the Third Hokage who called Orochimaru back to the village and used the destruction of the village as a cover to make Orochimaru Quietly get rid of disobedient people.”

"What? There is such a thing? Is it true?"

"Who knows... If you know that the Third Hokage would dare to do this to the orphan of the Fourth Hokage, what else can't he do?"

"Shh! Don't let the ANBU in the village hear this, otherwise, if you are caught once, you will be fined 10,000 taels! If caught twice, you will even be sent to Konoha Prison for 10 days!"

"Tch! The Third Hokage covered his mouth in such a hurry, doesn't that mean that we all guessed it right?"

"Keep your voice down! You don't want to die!"

"..."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't hear what they were talking about.

But his appearance did not receive the slightest cheer.

The kind smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face froze.

He knew that his image as the Third Hokage in the eyes of many people could no longer be restored.

His appearance did not elicit a boo.

perhaps……

It's just because those people don't dare.

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood became very bad.

Sudden!

"Gula la la!" A heroic laugh, accompanied by an unparalleled momentum, enveloped the entire finals: "Why hasn't this exam started yet? You ninja brats are so inefficient! "

White beard.

Come on stage!
