Chapter 234 Leave Konoha! The Whitebeard Pirates Are About to Set Sail Again! Kidnap People on Board?

Sarutobi Hiruzen stayed in place for several seconds. He never imagined that Kakashi would one day choose to join the Whitebeard Pirates.

You know, Kakashi is the Jonin of Konoha Village! He is also a ninja that Konoha has finally cultivated!

What does it mean for him to join the Whitebeard Pirates?

Does he want to abandon his identity as a Konoha Murakami ninja and become a lawless pirate?

The key is why he joined the Whitebeard Pirates?

What made him want to give up his identity as a Jounin of Konoha?

Could it be...that Kakashi was completely disappointed in Konoha because of Danzo's crazy manipulation? Just like Shisui before?

Or... Kakashi was originally involved with the Whitebeard Pirates, and he was indeed the one who revealed Naruto's life experience to Naruto, which ultimately caused him, the Hokage, to suffer greatly?

So, he joined the Whitebeard Pirates because his operation as the Third Hokage to transfer him to the root made Kakashi suspect that his behavior was exposed?

So Kakashi began to feel guilty and began to wonder if he, the Hokage, would use more extreme methods to deal with him...

He betrayed Konoha and chose to join the Whitebeard Pirates?

Why did he do this? Why does he think so?

Is it because the death of Hatake Sakumo has always made Kakashi worried? Kakashi has always held a grudge against this incident, so is he taking the opportunity to take revenge on the Leaf Village?

Just a few seconds.

One doubt after another flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, and one guess after another flashed through his mind.

His face looked cloudy for a while, and the hand holding the pipe was slightly weak, with veins on the back of his hand exposed.

He believed that every guess he made had some truth to it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen probably figured out the logic - Kakashi had a grudge against Konoha because of his father's suicide, and deliberately revealed his life experience to Naruto without telling him, the Hokage, which eventually led to him being the Hokage being accused →

He transferred Kakashi to ANBU, which made Kakashi suspicious →

The cooperation between Danzo and the Akatsuki organization caused Kakashi to misunderstand that he was the Hokage and wanted to send someone to kill Kakashi →

So, Kakashi joined the Whitebeard Pirates and sought Whitebeard’s protection→

All logic is closed.

"Kakashi, you let me down so much!" Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth, his lungs almost bursting with anger: "And Danzo, what have you done? How could you do such a thing? ?After all, am I too indulgent of you?"

Kakashi's reputation in Konoha is not small, and his reputation in the shinobi world is also great, even greater than Shisui's reputation.

If the news of such a ninja joining the Whitebeard Pirates spread throughout Konoha...

It was hard for Hiruzen Sarutobi to imagine what kind of impact this would have.

Especially what Danzo did, once word spread throughout Konoha, what would the other ninjas in the village think?

What if one day the ninjas in the village are treated unfairly, and they follow Kakashi's example and choose to leave Konoha and join the Whitebeard Pirates regardless of their circumstances?

By that time, wouldn't they be the biggest clown in Konoha?

There is Uchiha Shisui in the front, and Hatake Kakashi in the back.

These two cases...are enough to shake the hearts of the people in the village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen really wanted the ANBU ninja to capture Kakashi.

Then in front of Kakashi, ask him what he really thinks?

But the problem is that Kakashi is currently at the Whitebeard Pirates' temporary residence and is attending the Whitebeard Pirates' welcome banquet.

If I send ANBU ninjas and run to that place...

I'm afraid it wasn't Hatake Kakashi who was caught.

It was the ANBU ninjas he sent out!

Maybe then, instead of questioning Kakashi himself, the entire Whitebeard Pirates would come over to question him, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little numb.

The Whitebeard Pirates are definitely the Achilles heel of Naruto, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Kakashi joined the Whitebeard Pirates, so he didn't know how to treat Kakashi well.

If we don't capture Kakashi, we will weaken the morale of the army.

Capturing Kakashi would be an act of seeking death.

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen chose to put this incident behind him.

he thinks……

My life is more important.

A powerful being like Whitebeard should never be angered.

"... Danzo, where did Danzo go?" Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly thought of someone, and he asked the ANBU ninja in front of him.

He felt that the reason why Kakashi joined the Whitebeard Pirates was that Danzo had to memorize at least half of the blame!

How did he have the courage to cooperate with people from the Akatsuki organization?

"Hokage-sama, we have arrived at Konoha Prison early this morning." The ANBU ninja bowed his head and responded: "There is a root ninja there. He should be Danzo who stayed to deliver a message to us."

"The root ninja said that Danzo had left Konoha overnight. Danzo will not come back to Konoha for at least three months."

"Our people also asked the root ninja and wanted to know where Danzo was, but the root ninja didn't know either."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

He suddenly found the anger welling up in his chest, and for a moment he didn't know where to vent it.

Kakashi was protected by Whitebeard, and Danzo ran away.

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly touched his heart.

His face turned blue for a moment.

Another burst of whitening.

I covered my heart and mouth and waited for more than ten seconds before I finally recovered.

He was captured by two people, Kakashi and Danzo...

I'm so angry that my heart is aching!

…

At present, the size of the Whitebeard Pirates is actually quite large.

Whitebeard, Naruto, Fengji, Karin, Haku, Kisame, Shisui, Hinata, Izumi, Sasuke, Kakashi, there are already ten core members of the pirate group alone.

If we also add the ninja clan and ninja village under the pirate group.

There are at least twenty ninjas in Kusanagi Village, and there are probably hundreds of ninjas left in Kirigakure Village. Together with the survivors of the Uchiha clan, the core and peripheral numbers are approaching 700.

Of course, the Whitebeard Pirates' goal is to reach a core number of 1,600 people.

Compared with this goal, the core members of ten people are indeed not many.

"Idiot sons! Idiot daughters! Gu la la la! Your father has something to announce!"

When the banquet was about to end, Whitebeard, who was very drunk, raised a huge wine bowl high with his strong drunkenness.

His heroic laughter also attracted everyone's attention.

Whitebeard's drunken eyes swept across the group of people in front of him.

The smile on his face grew bigger and bigger: "Your father, I am very interested in the tailed beasts in the ninja world, but in a shitty place like Konoha Village, I have no chance to catch so many tailed beasts!"

"Dad, the reason why I am interested in tailed beasts is very simple. Those 'big foxes' and 'big turtles' can increase the strength of the pirate group in a short period of time!"

"With the power of the tailed beasts, you idiots like you will be able to take charge of your own business faster!"

"So, tomorrow! The Whitebeard Pirates will set sail!"

“Goo la la la!!!”

Whitebeard's interest in tailed beasts has not dissipated with the passage of time.

For Whitebeard, capturing tailed beasts is no different than finding treasure.

It makes sense for pirates to go looking for treasure.

Calculated, it is also very reasonable for pirates to capture tailed beasts.

"Capture the tailed beast?" Kisame grinned, showing his ferocious fangs. He raised a wine glass filled with fine wine and shouted: "Dad, you are the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates! Just say a word from dad." If you say that, we will capture all the tailed beasts in the entire ninja world for you, dad!"

Kisame drank the entire glass of wine in his hand in one breath, let out a "ha" sound, and said with a ferocious smile: "I'm tired of living in Konoha Village. Indeed, pirates have to set sail!"

"Capture the tailed beasts..." Shisui murmured thoughtfully: "Does dad want some of the weak family members to become jinchūriki of the tailed beasts? So that they have enough power to gain a foothold in the ninja world? ?”

Shisui also showed a bit of a smile: "If this is the case, then we should really capture all the tailed beasts in the entire ninja world."

Shisui even felt that the number of people in the ninja world was not enough?

He heard that there were only nine tailed beasts, and one of them was already in Naruto's body, leaving only eight.

If new members of the Whitebeard Pirates join the team very quickly...

Just nine tailed beasts are definitely not enough!

After all, there will eventually be some younger crew members who are not strong enough to stand alone and need the power of the tailed beasts to support them.

Naruto's eyes seemed to be shining: "Is the Whitebeard Pirates about to set sail?"

"Okay!" Naruto cheered: "It just so happens that our ship is also coming from the Kingdom of Water. If we set off tomorrow... maybe the Moby Dick will also arrive at the Kingdom of Fire. By then, we can take it. That’s a big ship!”

"Leaving Konoha..." Hinata was a little hesitant, but when she saw the look of excitement and anticipation on Naruto's face next to her.

The hesitation on Hinata's face disappeared instantly.

Instead, his face turned a little red, and there was even steam rising from his head: "Then... wouldn't it be possible to sail on the same ship as Naruto-kun?"

"It's time to go to sea!" Xiang Phosphorus has put on a new pair of glasses, and she also has small expectations: "Moby Dick has been built for almost a year, and I really want to see it in reality. What does it look like!”

Bai said thoughtfully on the side: "However, if we leave Konoha, wouldn't it be impossible to learn more useful things from the ninja school?"

"Hehehe, that's easy!" Naruto suddenly grinned: "We can just tie up Mr. Iruka here, the Third Hokage will definitely not mind!"

Shiro chuckled: "It makes sense, Iruka-sensei will definitely not mind."

Then, Bai suddenly thought of something, and he added: "Can we also tie up another person?"

Naruto was surprised: "Huh? Another one? Who is it?"

Shiro smiled slightly: "Neji-kun."

"Oh!" Naruto suddenly realized, and he fisted each other: "We can indeed bring him in too!"

Uchiha Izumi murmured with emotion: "Leave Konoha! Speaking of which... I have never left Konoha once."

Uchiha Izumi has traveled to the farthest places since he was a child.

Maybe he ran into the forest of death during the chuunin exams.

And she suddenly thought, if she leaves Konoha, what will the survivors of the Uchiha clan do?

Uzumaki Feng seemed to see Uchiha Izumi's hesitation and doubts.

She smiled and said: "The limit of the Moby Dick is that it can accommodate more than a thousand people! When the time comes, can't we just take away all the survivors of the Uchiha clan?"

Feng continued: "After all, it is more dangerous for them to stay in Konoha, and they are likely to encounter Uchiha Itachi again. Rather than doing this, it is better to let them get on the ship with them."

Quan said in surprise: "Is this okay?"

Feng smiled and said, "Dad won't care about these small details."

"Naruto only became so powerful a year after he left Konoha, right?" Ever since the day when almost no one came to rescue the Uchiha clan on the night of the genocide, Sasuke had no feelings for the village at all.

Sasuke clearly remembered that the only people who came to save the Uchiha clan were his father and Kakashi.

Regarding leaving Konoha.

Sasuke felt it didn't matter.

Kakashi, who had just joined the Whitebeard Pirates, naturally had no objections.

Anyway, Kakashi is no longer a ninja of Konoha.

There's no use staying.

"Ah? Kakashi, are you ready to leave Konoha?" Kai was stunned: "Doesn't that mean that you have just joined the Whitebeard Pirates and you are leaving?"

Kakashi nodded and responded: "Since this is dad's decision, then of course we have to leave Konoha tomorrow."

Kakashi soon assumed the identity of a crew member of the Whitebeard Pirates, and also assumed the identity of Whitebeard's son.

When he said the word "Dad", he didn't pause at all.

"Mr. Kai, how about you come too?" Kisame suddenly came over and offered an olive branch to Kai: "Isn't it better to be a free pirate than to be a restrained ninja?"

Kisame "seduced" and said: "The majestic waves on the sea are more passionate than those on land!"

Kisame's short words made Kai feel a little itchy.

Kai An gulped, his thick eyebrows furrowed.

It can be said to be very confusing.

But after thinking about it, he still shook his head resolutely: "The kindness of Konoha Village in raising me, and some of my father's expectations before his death... I still can't let go."

Kai struggled for a long time.

Finally refused.

He resisted the temptation.

"Huh? Huh? Wait!" Shizune came over to eat and suddenly realized something was wrong.

She was stunned and said to Tsunade who was also drunk next to her: "Tsunade-sama, we promised Naruto to cure Kimimaro, but if Whitebeard and the others want to leave Konoha Village, do we have to follow them? Are you leaving?"

"Tsunade-sama? Tsunade-sama? Huh?"

Shizune turned around and saw that Lady Tsunade next to her was completely drunk and was sleeping soundly on the table.

There was still a trace of crystal clear saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth, and a somewhat strange silly smile hung on his drunken face.

I don’t know what sweet dream I am having.

The entire Whitebeard Pirates had no objections to leaving Konoha.

After all, no one has much affection for Konoha.

What's more, this is the decision of the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!

The crew obeyed the captain's orders unconditionally.

This makes sense.

…

After the banquet, it was just noon.

The crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates dispersed for the time being.

Because they all have their own things to do before leaving Konoha.

Uchiha Izumi found his best friend "Inuzuka Hana", and both of them are now chuunin of Konoha Village.

Their names were also recorded on the Chuunin Directory.

It's just that the village's chuunin vests haven't been issued yet.

"Ah? Izumi, are you leaving?" Inuzuka Hana was confused. Her reaction was exactly the same as Kai before.

"Yes!" Quan smiled a little, and she was also a little reluctant.

But now that I have become my father's daughter, I will definitely have to join the pirate crew one day and sail through the waves.

"This is my forehead protector." Quan took off the Konoha forehead protector from her forehead. She solemnly handed it to her best friend: "Time is a bit short and rushed, and I don't know what kind of gift I should give you."

"I'll give you my forehead protector!" Izumi Uchiha smiled slightly: "It has accompanied me through several life-and-death crises. I think it has some lucky attributes."

Inuzuka Hana took the forehead protector and felt a little sore in her nose: "Then when will you come back? You will come back, right?"

Quan smiled and said: "Idiot, I will definitely come back!"

But she did not answer the question "when will she come back?"

"Wait, Izumi." Then... Inuzuka Hana also took off her forehead protector.

She put Quan's forehead protector on her forehead, and then put her own forehead protector on Quan's forehead with her own hands.

"Yeah! That's it!"

When Inuzuka Hana smiled, she showed a small tiger tooth: "In this way, as long as we see the forehead protector, we can think of each other!"

…

Today's headquarters of the Hyuga clan.

A little guest came.

Logically speaking, for a relatively conservative ninja clan like the Hyuga clan, if someone accidentally enters the Hyuga clan's residence, they will ask him to leave.

But there is no way. The identity of this little guest is somewhat special. He is Whitebeard's son.

The people in the Hyuga clan could only pretend they didn't see anything.

"Neji-kun, do you still think that the 'cage of fate' cannot be broken?" Shiro smoothed his hair that was blowing in the wind, and smiled at Hinata Neji: "If you are given a chance to break the cage, Will you choose to break the cage that has imprisoned you and become a free bird?"

Neji didn't know that Bai personally came to ask what the situation was.

But he thought about it and nodded, with a very solemn and serious expression on his face: "If there is such an opportunity, I will definitely seize it!"

The experience during this period of time has changed Neji's thoughts a lot.

Bai's "contribution" is naturally the greatest.

The smile on Shiro's face grew wider: "Then are you willing to leave Konoha, leave the Hyuga clan...join the Whitebeard Pirates, and become a bird that can fly freely in the sea?"

Shiro hit Neji with a very accurate "straight shot".

With just one sentence, Neji was stunned on the spot.

"Because the Whitebeard Pirates are about to leave Konoha!" Shiro explained: "The only chance to break fate is today."

Shiro's arrival was to invite Neji to join the Whitebeard Pirates.

In other words, this is not a simple "invitation".

Because the next second, Shiro added: "I forgot to remind you, Neji-kun. You haven't joined the Whitebeard Pirates yet, and you still don't have the ability to control your own destiny."

"It means... if Neji-kun refuses my 'invitation', I will personally 'invite' you to the ship!"

Bai's smile was a bit cunning.

First of all... I am a pirate of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Next is Neji's friend.
