Naruto, be my son.

Rather than worrying about this kind of thing.

It’s better to read novels!

……

at the same time.

the other side.

A group of ninjas wearing various Root masks, and a Konoha ninja without a mask.

Traveling quickly on the same road.

"Uchiha Shisui, what did you look back at just now? Is there anything strange behind you?"

A Root jonin was very sensitive and noticed Shisui's little movements.

"No." Uchiha Shisui shook his head.

This group of people were Uchiha Shisui and the Root Ninjas.

"Hmph!" The Root Jonin said coldly, "Don't forget what your mission is this time. A slight negligence or mistake will lead to total failure!"

Shisui nodded, he was very frugal with his words: "I know."

A while ago.

Uchiha Shisui met Shimura Danzo on his way home

Danzo told him something on the grounds that "the Hokage has ordered it".

At the same time, he also gave Shisui an order.

Use those extremely special eyes to control Whitebeard!

Shisui still remembered those very important words that Danzo said.

——"If the Jinchūriki loses control, even if it's because of Whitebeard, the village will still suspect you, the Uchiha clan. Shisui, you don't want this to happen, do you?"

——"Your eyes are the gift of peace given to Konoha by the ancestors of Konoha. As long as they are used properly, the village and the Uchiha clan will be able to enter a long-lasting peace."

——"Shisui, this is not only my idea. This is also the idea of ​​the Third Hokage, Utane Koharu, and Mitokado En."

——"Whether Konoha can have peace depends on how you use your eyes. I'll give you three days to think about it!"

——"I hope you won't let Konoha fall into war."

It has to be said that Danzo has Uchiha Shisui in his grasp.

Every word he said was a critical blow to Shisui.

But Shisui didn't know why, but he felt something was not right.

After all, the "credibility" of the root is a negative number.

"I always feel like something is not right."

Zhisui frowned and murmured in his mind: 'Hope is an illusion, right? '

……

……

Chapter 85: The Difficulty of Destroying a Country! Kill Whitebeard?

"Hokage-sama, Uchiha Shisui of the Uchiha Guard has been missing for quite some time."

Konoha Village, inside the Hokage Building.

An Anbu ninja reported the information he had to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "As far as I know, Uchiha Shisui had a private meeting with Root leader Danzo before he disappeared."

"I guess there must be a special connection between the two. If... we search for information from these aspects, we will probably be able to find their whereabouts."

But, when he said this.

This Anbu ninja suddenly discovered...

The Hokage's expression didn't change at all.

It seems like he knew about this a long time ago.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking his cigarette with a "tsk tsk" sound.

He was looking at the government documents on the desk.

He responded casually, "I know. Don't worry about their affairs for now. I'll give you a task. Pay attention to how the Uchiha clan react after Shisui 'disappears'."

"...Yes, Hokage-sama!"

The ANBU ninja nodded hastily.

With a whoosh, it disappeared.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left in the empty office. He raised his eyelids and turned to look out the window, holding his pipe filled with smoke: "Danzo, you finally chose to do this."

Although Danzo didn't tell him much, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew Danzo very well and he knew what that guy would do.

Danzo only said that he wanted to use Shisui's eyes to deal with Whitebeard.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Danzo was definitely more than that.

Deliberately led Shisui to a place far away from Konoha...

Given Danzo's personality, would he only do this for Whitebeard and Naruto?

"Danzo, don't do anything that would embarrass me!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long puff of his cigarette.

There is no unnecessary look.

"Hokage-sama!" Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and the doorman Itachi rushed in anxiously: "Hokage-sama, Shisui, is he... is he okay?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled.

"Don't worry," he said, "Shisui and you are the future of the Uchiha clan. Nothing will happen to him."

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen added: "Danzo will not do anything extreme."

Add this last sentence.

Cleared everything up.

……

In a coastal town in the Land of Fire.

Naruto, with a blindfold on his head, was groping forward. This could be considered as Whitebeard's observation Haki training for Naruto, allowing Naruto to walk on the road without vision.

Then, the Fire Nation civilians in this town.

I saw a very strange scene.

A "blind" child with blond hair, carrying a load that was several times heavier than him, staggered along the town's streets, occasionally bumping into a wall.

A tall and burly giant, holding a big knife, followed behind the blond child.

A red-haired mother and daughter followed the giant hand in hand.

There was also a masked man behind him with one hand holding a book and the other hand in his pocket.

No one dared to stand in front of this group of weirdos.

even.

When this group of "weirdos" appeared, people in the town were afraid to go out.

Everyone dared to stay at home and open the windows.

So as to avoid being targeted by weirdos.

The main reason was that Whitebeard put too much pressure on these civilians, just by looking at that ridiculously large naginata.

It's all creepy.

Chilling.

"I feel like I'm being avoided like the plague." Kakashi glanced at a house next to him with his dead eyes. His eyes met with a peeking gaze from inside the house.

The owner of the house was immediately frightened and quickly closed the window.

This exaggerated reaction made Kakashi very helpless.

It didn't take long.

Whitebeard suddenly grabbed Naruto by the collar, lifted him up like a kitten, and said, "Stupid son! If you move forward, you will fall."

"Huh?" Naruto, who was blindfolded, was stunned.

He lifted a corner of the black cloth covering his eyes.

Naruto was shocked.

"It's the sea!" Although Naruto had never been to the beach before, he had seen some photos of the sea in the village, so he naturally knew what the sea looked like.

"There are so many ships!" Naruto looked around and found that there were large and small ships parked here: "Dad, there must be at least twenty ships here!"

The smallest boats may only be able to carry one or two people.

The largest boat can probably accommodate twenty to thirty people.

"Gulala, you call this a lot?" Whitebeard smiled and said, "If these boats were placed in your father's hometown, it would only be the size of a small fishing village!"

There is a vast ocean in front of me.

Whitebeard was excited.

At this time.

Whitebeard suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with Uzumaki Fengshi. She was standing there in a daze, looking towards the sea with a bit of reminiscence and distraction in her eyes.

"Mom, you hurt me..."

Karin, whose hand was held by her, reminded her weakly.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Karin." Uzumaki Fengshi woke up from the shock. She quickly squatted down to check her daughter's hand: "Does it hurt? Mommy will blow on it for you, and it will stop hurting after blowing."

Uzumaki Fengshi blew on Karin's hand.

When she stood up, she found that her father, Naruto and Kakashi were all looking at her.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Naruto asked curiously, "I feel like you seem a little sad."

In fact, even Naruto himself didn't know why he could feel the sadness of Uzumaki Fengshi.

"because I……"

Uzumaki Fengshi took a deep breath and said, "Because I remembered where this place is. I escaped from the Land of Whirlpools when I was a child. The first stop I fled to was a small town in the Land of Fire."

"Here... this is the town." She looked around: "I didn't expect... even after more than ten years, it still hasn't changed much."

"If we sail in that direction from here, we will reach the Whirlpool Country in less than a day."

"Starting from the Land of Whirlpools, we can reach the Land of Water in a few days."

Uzumaki Fengshi said.

Although she was not a navigator, her experience as a refugee in her childhood made her realize how far the three were apart.

……

"Huh... we're here." In the distance behind Whitebeard and the others, figures suddenly appeared on the rooftops of the town.

Among them, most of them wore masks.

Only Uchiha Shisui didn't wear it.

"Whitebeard, Jinchūriki, Hatake Kakashi, a red-haired kid, and a red-haired woman." A Root Jonin put down the telescope and explained the situation: "Five people in total."

"You can ignore Hatake Kakashi. He is from our Konoha. He will never help Whitebeard. You can also ignore the Jinchūriki. After all, he is just a five-year-old kid."

"The ones who need to be dealt with are Whitebeard and the two red-haired girls." The Root Jonin said with murderous intent: "Uchiha Shisui, whether we can kill Whitebeard depends on you."

“…Kill him?”
