"Whitebeard Pirates..."

……

"What are the Whitebeard Pirates?"

The countries bordering the Grass Kingdom include not only the Fire Kingdom, but also the Taki Kingdom, the Earth Kingdom, and the Rain Kingdom.

Such a big event happened in the Land of Grass.

They also received first-hand intelligence.

Hailed as the demigod of the ninja world, "Hanzo of the Salamander" has long lost the ambition and faith he had in his prime. He has become overconfident, suspicious, and scheming.

"In a short period of time... the Grass Kingdom was destroyed." Salamander Hanzo's old face hidden under the gas mask revealed a look of caution and vigilance.

to be frank.

He was confident that with the strength of the Rain Village, they could accomplish this.

After all, Kusagakure Village is in the entire ninja world.

They are both among the bottom-ranked ninja villages.

but.

The Rain Village represents a country, the entire Rain Country! And what does the Whitebeard Pirates represent?

A pirate group that can destroy a country.

This……

Unbelievable!

For some unknown reason, Hanzo suddenly remembered the Akatsuki organization which has been growing stronger recently. Back then, he teamed up with Danzo to plot against the Akatsuki organization, but he failed to destroy it.

On the contrary, in recent years, the Akatsuki organization hidden in the dark has gradually developed into a behemoth that makes him terrified!

"Really!" He closed his eyes: "Troublesome guys are showing up one after another."

……

One more chapter

Chapter 72 Whitebeard’s bounty exceeds million!

"I didn't expect that at this critical moment when we were planning to avenge Yahiko and kill Hanzo, such a powerful figure would appear inexplicably in the neighboring country of the Rain Country."

One of Akatsuki's temporary bases.

Wearing a black windbreaker embroidered with red clouds, with her light blue-purple hair tied into a bun, and with a pretty face, Konan is definitely the most dazzling star in the Akatsuki organization.

She pushed a wheelchair to where the sun could shine, and looked ahead to the undeveloped dense forest.

There was a man sitting in a wheelchair.

Compared to Xiaonan, he can only be said to have a nose and a face, and he does look like a human being.

"Whitebeard." Xiaonan said: "I have never heard of this name. This should not be the name of a person. It sounds... more like a nickname."

"Nagato, do you think... he will have an impact on our actions?" Konan asked.

"No." Nagato, who was sitting in a wheelchair, shook his head: "I don't know why, but maybe it's an intuition!"

"However, he was able to destroy an entire ninja village by himself. Moreover, he was not afraid of becoming the target of public criticism in the ninja world and killed the daimyo of an entire country. This person is indeed extraordinary."

Nagato looked up at the bright sunshine.

In the Rain Village...

In the 365 days of a year, there may be only less than a dozen days with such weather.

"I want to recruit him into Akatsuki! He is a very powerful person. If he were one of us, then the strength of our Akatsuki would definitely be able to reach a higher level."

After Nagato finished speaking, he asked, "Who do you think should be sent to contact this Whitebeard?"

Xiaonan thought about it.

"Orochimaru has not done any substantial tasks since joining Akatsuki. Every time he is given a task, he just does it perfunctorily. And this situation has happened more than once or twice."

She said: "Akatsuki is not his refuge from being hunted down, so let Orochimaru and Scorpion go together this time!"

Nagato nodded.

Agree.

"It's time to get him moving."

……

"The Whitebeard Pirates destroyed the Grass Country. Will such an ambitious pirate group attack our Ryounin Village?"

The ninja from Taki no Kuni said worriedly: "Master, although no ninja village has attacked us once in the past few decades or even hundreds of years, we still have to be wary of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Pirates, they are just bandits! They don't care about morality, they only know how to plunder and kill!"

The leader of the Takinin Village sat on a chair.

He crossed his fingers, rested his elbows on the desk, and said, "If a mere pirate group dares to invade Taki Country, they will never return!"

“No need to worry too much.”

The Taki Ninja leader continued, "I believe that our Taki Nation is second only to the Rain Nation, below the Five Great Nations."

"Don't forget, we are Jinchūriki! The power of the tailed beasts is unmatched in the entire ninja world!"

As the leader of the ninja village, his words calmed the people in Takinin Village.

He is right too.

Although Taki Country is a small country, it has never experienced war in the past few decades and must have accumulated very strong power that cannot be compared with Grass Country.

Plus they also have the power of the tailed beasts.

This way.

They are even more confident.

……

"Ridiculous! How could anyone dare to kill the Daimyo of Ninja Country? Only pirates like the Whitebeard Pirates could do such a heinous thing, right?"

The land of earth.

Iwa Ninja Village.

The information from Iwagakure lags behind that from Konohagakure, Amegakure, and Takigakure by two days. After all, although the defense of this village is very strong, it is also difficult for it to communicate with the outside world.

Ohnoki's old-fashioned and stubborn character meant that he strongly disagreed with Whitebeard's approach.

There are very few unwritten rules in the ninja world.

One of them is that nobles and daimyo must not be killed.

Any ninja who dares to break this unwritten rule will basically be regarded as a heretic among the ninja.

He will also be wanted by the entire ninja world.

Become a wanted criminal.

Throwing away the intelligence file in his hand, Ohnoki snorted coldly: "If this so-called Whitebeard Pirates dare to show up in the Land of Earth, the Iwagakure will definitely destroy it!"

"but……"

Ohnoki's shrewd eyes turned: "The Grass Country has lost the Grass Village and the Grass Country Daimyo, which means that the entire country is in a state of being leaderless."

He was moved.

Oonoki thought about the interests of the village every day of his life.

But soon, he shook his head again.

The Land of Grass...

Too poor!

Even if the Iwagakure does not take action against the nobles of the Grass Country, there is no way to squeeze money out of such a poor country.

But it is obvious that Ōnoki will not take action against the nobles.

In addition, the Kusagakure Village in the Land of Grass was probably completely plundered by the Whitebeard Pirates long ago.

If you make a big fuss about it.

There is a high probability that you will not be able to make back your investment.

……

Along with the two pieces of news, "The Kusanagi Village was destroyed" and "The Daimyo of the Kusanagi Country was killed", they continued to ferment in the ninja world.

The nobles and daimyo of the major ninja countries immediately became restless.

The first ones to get restless were naturally the nobles of the Grass Kingdom.

How could they have imagined... that the daimyo of their country had turned into a corpse broken into two pieces overnight.

The nobles of the Grass Kingdom were furious but also terrified. The strong sense of crisis made them unable to sleep or eat.

Before this.

There are almost no ninjas who dare to commit suicide as nobles or daimyo. The life-and-death fights among ninjas have nothing to do with these nobles.

but now.

The appearance of the Whitebeard Pirates broke this unwritten rule, causing all the nobles in the Grass Kingdom to worry about their own safety.

They had intense discussions for several days and nights.

Finally came to a conclusion.

——Those who break this hidden rule must be killed! Lest there be any ninjas who would imitate this bandit!

The nobles of the Grass Kingdom began to contact the nobles of other ninja kingdoms.

The nobles of other ninja countries naturally feared people like Whitebeard.

No one wants them to be so high up...

Suddenly one day I became a fish.

then.

There is a bounty on Whitebeard circulating throughout the ninja world. This bounty was actually announced to all the major ninja villages after many nobles and daimyos from the ninja countries joined forces to raise funds!

[Bonus wanted: Edward Newgate]

[Nickname: Whitebeard, Nation Destroyer, Giant]

【Force: Whitebeard Pirates】

[Level: S-level bounty hunter]

[Bounty: 1 million taels]

[Requirement: Kill]

When such a bounty with an astonishing reward appears on ninja missions in different ninja villages, it is enough to shock the entire ninja world!

An astonishing bounty of 1 million taels!

The annual expenditure of a small ninja village is probably around this number.

This also happens to illustrate the nobles and daimyo in the ninja world.

How afraid of death are you?
