Chapter 289 Xiaonan’s Big Gamble! Whitebeard and Konan!
Some time ago, two members of the Akatsuki organization disappeared.
There was no news from those two members after they disappeared, as if they had disappeared into the ninja world, which made Konan think for a while...had they died at the hands of Whitebeard?
If they really died, it would indeed be the heaviest loss the Akatsuki organization had suffered in the past two or three years.
This heavy loss was caused by the Whitebeard Pirates.
But what Xiaonan didn't expect was that Orochimaru, one of the two missing members, suddenly appeared in front of her!
When she followed the snake-like voice and turned her head to look in that direction, she saw Orochimaru appearing in the form of a female body.
Even though Xiaonan was as calm as water, she still couldn't help but open her beautiful eyes a little wider at this moment, and her pupils shrank slightly.
It turns out that Orochimaru was not killed by Whitebeard, he is still alive today. And this guy is on the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick!
What's even more surprising is that Orochimaru behaves like a normal person on this ship.
Tsunade also looked at Orochimaru: "Do you recognize her?!"
Orochimaru walked over unhurriedly, and with a smile that had some meaning, he replied: "That's very familiar!"
Just listen to Orochimaru continue: "In the Akatsuki organization, this woman's status is not low, second only to the leader."
After he said these words, everyone around him was shocked.
"Hey, hey, hey... In other words, this is a big fish?" Kisame's palm rested on the handle of the big sword, Samehada, and his eyes narrowed slightly, with a bit of vigilance.
Since the other party's identity is so special, naturally he cannot be treated as an ordinary member of the Akatsuki organization.
"'White Tiger', I didn't expect to see you here, what a coincidence!" Orochimaru stuck out his long tongue and licked his dry lips. The White Tiger in his mouth was Konan's code name.
"...Orochimaru, you really surprised me." Konan was silent for a few seconds and could only hold back these words.
Obviously, Orochimaru's sudden appearance would not stop her.
This was beyond Xiaonan's plan and beyond her expectation.
The situation seemed to have become a little complicated, and she was a little unable to grasp it.
"Haha, there's something even more surprising for you!" Orochimaru smiled wildly: "Scorpion is here too!"
Xiaonan: "!!!"
Orochimaru explained kindly: "Actually, we didn't betray the Akatsuki organization, we were just captured by the Whitebeard Pirates and couldn't escape. This means... Scorpion and I are both their prisoners."
"The moment I saw you, I thought you wanted to rescue us, but now it seems...that's not the case."
Konan was shocked by Orochimaru's appearance, and Orochimaru was also curious about why Xiaonan came to this place?
This woman came here alone and got close to the Whitebeard Pirates. What was her purpose?
"Goo la la la!"
At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter resounded throughout the Moby Dick. The white-bearded man sitting proudly on a big chair looked down at the group of idiot sons and daughters in front of him.
With Whitebeard's knowledge and domineering power, he could naturally understand what was happening ahead, and with his hearing, he could also understand what they were talking about. He could even see the female brat from the Akatsuki organization.
"You lingering 'Akatsuki Organization' brats have come here repeatedly to cause trouble. Do you want to provoke the Whitebeard Pirates?"
After Whitebeard picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of wine, he squinted his eyes and said this with a heroic smile.
Xiao Nan took a deep breath. She suppressed the shock in her heart and looked at the white beard sitting on the bow of Moby Dick.
She first said to the people around her: "My visit is not malicious. It should be okay for me to go over and have a few words with Mr. Whitebeard, right?"
After saying that, she gestured to walk forward.
The next second, Samehada was placed directly on her shoulders, and the barbs on Samehada were pressed against Konan's throat.
On her other shoulder, there was a staff sword held up. Suddenly, Shisui pulled out the weapon, and the blade of the staff sword was pressed against her throat.
A kunai was held against her back. It only took a few inches to pierce her heart. Kakashi was obviously holding a kunai to hold it back.
Kisame grinned ferociously and said, "We won't let you use any dirty tricks against dad. If you make any move, we will kill you! Let's go!"
Xiaonan's heart sank.
These guys were really difficult to deal with. She knew that Inikisaki Kisame was not joking, and she also knew that this was not a meaningless warning.
However, Xiaonan is not very afraid of this kind of physical attack.
Without changing her expression, she walked forward step by step until she came to White Beard, only the last two meters away from him.
From this distance, she could see Whitebeard's face when she looked up.
To be honest, although the Akatsuki organization has repeatedly received information about Whitebeard and has seen photos and portraits of Whitebeard, this is the first time that Xiaonan has seen this man's face with his own eyes.
The aura exuded from the other party surprised Xiaonan.
The opponent's size looks even more intimidating to the naked eye.
"Your Excellency Whitebeard..."
Xiaonan pondered: "According to the information we have about you, you have a very special perception. Your special perception should be able to sense that there is no malicious intent on me."
Whitebeard glanced at Xiaonan with his empty eyes, and his tone was a bit domineering: "You little brat, if you have something to say, just say it directly and don't beat around the bush."
Xiaonan's tone choked, and some of the previously organized speeches were interrupted.
She could only give up the rhetoric that came to her mind and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty Whitebeard, I'm telling you the truth... I have a piece of information about you that I think you will be interested in. You can even feel very angry about this information. .”
"If this information comes out, I will definitely get the notoriety of betraying my teammates, but our Akatsuki organization does not want to antagonize the Whitebeard Pirates. Even if I get this notoriety, I will stop it from happening. .”
Xiaonan continued: "Your Excellency Whitebeard should know that there is a person in our organization who calls himself 'Uchiha Madara'."
As soon as Konan finished speaking, Kakashi's voice interrupted: "'Uchiha Madara'? Is he the one wearing the mask?!"
Xiaonan responded: "Yes."
Kakashi's tone was complicated: "Is it related to Obito again..."
Xiaonan was slightly startled: "Obito?"
An unfamiliar name made Xiaonan a little unexpected. I wonder what this name has to do with Uchiha Madara?
Kakashi also frowned, a little confused: "Don't you know that 'Madara Uchiha' is Obito Uchiha?"
Xiaonan: "???"
Uchiha Obito?
Uchiha Madara?
But the strange information she learned from the pirate almost caused her to almost go into a state of shutdown.
Could it be that the guy who claims to be Uchiha Madara is actually Uchiha Obito?
In just a short moment, Xiao Nan almost forgot what he came to do.
Kakashi's voice sounded again, with an anxious and questioning tone: "What happened to Obito? Is he brewing another conspiracy?"
Could it be that everyone knows that "Uchiha Madara" is Uchiha Obito, and they are the only ones in the Akatsuki organization who have been kept in the dark?
This thought flashed through Xiaonan's mind, but she quickly threw it away because now was not the time to think about this issue.
The current situation has far exceeded her expectations.
She could only respond with a complex expression: "Uchiha Madara has captured people related to the Whitebeard Pirates... and wants to use them as hostages to threaten your Whitebeard Pirates."
Konan gradually calmed down and said slowly: "The four brats he captured were Haruno Sakura, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, and Rock Lee."
"What?!" Naruto and Ino almost exclaimed in unison.
Naruto's face was full of shock and disbelief: "Shikamaru, Chouji, and Xiao Li were arrested by that guy named Obito?!"
Ino was stunned: "Chouji and Shikamaru were captured? Were they used as hostages?"
"Oh?" Whitebeard raised his eyebrows, with a bit of chill in his eyes: "This kid who uses other people's names to do evil, his methods are really insidious!"
Even if the Whitebeard Pirates captured hostages, they would not use them to threaten others.
For example, in a battle some time ago, the Whitebeard Pirates did not take the Fourth Raikage as a hostage to threaten the ninjas of Kumogakure Village.
It was just to show the Fourth Raikage and let the group of ninjas from Hidden Cloud Village see what their Raikage was doing now.
Using hostages to threaten others is very despicable in Whitebeard's eyes.
The threatened party turned out to be the Whitebeard Pirates, which made Whitebeard's heart surge with murderous intent and anger!
A touch of domineering aura leaked out of Whitebeard, and Xiaonan, who was closest to Whitebeard, was the first to be affected.
Xiao Nan only felt a terrifying aura oppressing her, making her heart feel like a huge boulder weighing 10,000 kilograms, making her whole body feel uncomfortable.
'What a terrifying aura... Is it because of this aura that he stunned thousands of Kumogakure ninjas? It is simply a tailed beast in human form, even more terrifying than the tailed beast. ’ Xiaonan was very shocked, but she tried not to show her emotions on her face.
Konan said: "I disclosed this information to the Whitebeard Pirates. One of the reasons... is so that the Akatsuki organization will not be implicated by that guy's behavior. The second... is that I am showing my goodwill to the Whitebeard Pirates, and also I’m showing my kindness to you, Mr. Whitebeard.”
"I want to use this special information and the life of 'Madara Uchiha' as a pledge to join the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Xiaonan said in an unsurprisingly serious tone.
"Haha... is it true or false?"
Orochimaru was shocked by Konan's words. He murmured to himself with great interest: "Why is it a little strange that the second-in-command of the Akatsuki organization wants to leave the Akatsuki organization and join the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Konan retorted: "You are wrong. There is actually no conflict between joining the Whitebeard Pirates and being a member of the Akatsuki organization, right?"
"The Akatsuki organization may have had some conflicts with the Whitebeard Pirates before, but those were conflicts between individuals and the Pirates. At least, I have no conflicts with the Whitebeard Pirates."
"What is your purpose?" Naruto asked with a frown: "If someone like you wants to join our Whitebeard Pirates, he must have evil intentions!"
Konan glanced at the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, her expression remained unchanged and she said: "I want to use your power to kill Uchiha Madara. Is this considered an evil intention?"
Zhisui said: "When you revealed Obito's information to us, didn't you already achieve your goal? Why join us? Why join the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Konan said: "I want to be by your side to see what your purpose is. You have stirred up so many waves in the ninja world. I don't believe that your pirate group's purpose is so simple."
Konan was very honest and almost said it bluntly - I just want to join the Whitebeard Pirates undercover, and I want Obito's information in exchange.
This is the entry point that Xiaonan thought of!
Konan didn't know much about the Whitebeard Pirates, but he knew a lot.
Judging from the many incidents that the Whitebeard Pirates have caused in the ninja world, the only characteristic of the Whitebeard Pirates is that they are very aboveboard.
They are obviously a pirate group, but what they do is much more aboveboard than any other ninja village.
If you want to go undercover into such an organization, there is no point in carefully planning and fabricating lies.
In particular, Whitebeard also has that weird perceptual ability. Maybe this ability can realize whether she is lying.
In this case, Xiaonan decided to go straight and focus on a "deal"!
She thinks this is a conspiracy.
But she also knew that if the Whitebeard Pirates were cruel enough and didn't care about the safety of the four brats, then her conspiracy would have no effect. Maybe I will be left here again, unable to go back.
Xiaonan is taking a big gamble.
She felt that risking her life for the future of the Akatsuki organization was worth it.
The smile on Whitebeard's face was a bit dangerous: "You have such a purpose and want to join my Whitebeard Pirates!"
Xiao Nan resisted the pressure of the domineering domineering expression leaking from White Beard's body, and she forced her head up to meet White Beard's eyes.
Even though he was suppressed by this momentum, his palms were sweating.
But Xiaonan still kept her expression unchanged.
"Yes!"
She said these two words with absolute certainty.
Quite unhesitatingly honest.
"Gu la la la!" Whitebeard smiled instead of being angry, and the laughter that resounded through the sky was very hearty: "You ninja brats, all of you really have 'ideas'! You are also the one I have seen in the ninja world. There are very few 'honest' brats!"
Whitebeard grinned and said, "Kid, what's your name?"
"Xonan!" Xiaonan didn't make up a false name for himself. There was no need to lie to a man like Whitebeard.
"Gu la la la! Then you stay until we kill that despicable brat!"
Whitebeard said domineeringly.
