Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 518 Sasuke, have you forgotten the difference between the Akatsuki and the Whitebeard Pirates?

On a small island.

The Moby Dick came to a stop.

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates encountered the medical ninja sent by the Akatsuki organization, and each of them showed a strange expression when they saw the medical ninja.

When Sasuke Uchiha saw the medical ninja, his expression stiffened slightly, and he unconsciously began to straighten his somewhat disheveled clothes.

Over the years, Uchiha Sasuke has gradually become accustomed to the unruly lifestyle of pirates.

However, when Sasuke met this medical ninja, he was reminded of his childhood in Konoha. At that moment, Uchiha Sasuke felt as if he had been transported to another world.

"Sasuke, do you know her?"

Ace couldn't help but nudge Sasuke with his shoulder and asked, "Pink hair... she's a cute girl. Could she be the medical ninja sent by Akatsuki?"

"Yes, it's her."

Uchiha Sasuke walked step by step to the medical ninja, his eyes narrowing slightly: "It's been a long time, Sakura... I didn't expect them to send you."

Sakura Haruno.

Team 7 of Konoha, former comrades.

Even Uchiha Sasuke never expected that Uehara Naraku would send Haruno Sakura over. Did that guy want to use Haruno Sakura to humiliate him?

"Yes, Sasuke-kun."

Sakura Haruno nodded slowly and said in a low voice, "You should know the situation of the Akatsuki organization better than I do. No one can refuse an order from Akatsuki... and..."

At this point, Sakura Haruno looked up at Sasuke Uchiha and suddenly said, "I also want to see how you're doing on this vast ocean..."

"fine."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded calmly.

With the threat of Uehara Naraku on this vast ocean, and the ever-present Akatsuki members, it's already difficult enough to just survive.

"That's good."

Sakura Haruno nodded before speaking softly, "Where is the patient? I'll go treat him first!"

"Yes, Sachi's injuries are quite severe..."

As Sasuke Uchiha led the way, he said, "Sakura, I remember you were Tsunade's student, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha..."

"Um."

Sakura Haruno's face immediately turned serious: "The medical department has recently acquired many new medical techniques. If the rescue is timely, there shouldn't be any problems..."

On the Moby Dick.

Sakura Haruno stitched up Sachi's wounds again, gave Sachi several injections, and finally used chakra to slowly make granulation tissue grow on Sachi's wounds.

"That's incredible..."

Marco watched the whole scene unfold. Under Sakura Haruno's treatment, Sachi's injuries gradually improved, and a look of admiration flashed across his face.

The medical ninja's treatment methods were indeed unexpected.

Even Marco hadn't imagined that there was such a method that could use chakra to stimulate human cell regeneration and thus treat people.

Unfortunately, Marco doesn't have chakra.

Even in the ninja world, only the descendants of Kaguya Otsutsuki, or those whose chakra was once shared by the Sage of Six Paths, can refine chakra.

Sakura Haruno wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at Sachi whose breathing was gradually stabilizing, and said in a deep voice, "His injuries have stabilized. As long as he can make sure he gets enough rest, there won't be any problems in the future."

"What an amazing medical technique..."

Ace couldn't help but show a hint of admiration. He glanced at Sasuke beside him and couldn't help but say, "Hey, Sasuke, this ship's doctor seems much more reliable than Marco!"

"Shut up!"

Sasuke Uchiha frowned, interrupting Ace, and looked earnestly at Sakura Haruno, saying, "Thank you, Sakura. Thatch is my comrade..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke Uchiha fell silent. Sakura Haruno, standing before him, had once been his comrade…

Sasuke Uchiha's feelings became increasingly complicated.

Sakura's fingers stiffened slightly. She nodded calmly, picked up her medical equipment, packed it away, and slowly lowered her head: "It's okay, everyone will be happy for you if Sasuke-kun finds new companions..."

pat.

A tear fell.

All the pirates in the medical room were somewhat at a loss; they didn't quite understand why the pink-haired female medical ninja was crying…

Just as the group of pirates were looking at each other, wondering who should comfort the girl, Sakura Haruno wiped the corner of her eye clean.

"Alright, my mission is complete."

Sakura Haruno slowly stood up, looked at Sasuke Uchiha, and said in a deep voice, "Before I came, someone specifically instructed me that, according to our agreement, the Whitebeard Pirates must find the Dark-Dark Fruit and deliver it to Wano Country within two months..."

At this point, Sakura Haruno repeated each word carefully: "Remember, it must be the Dark-Dark Fruit! Otherwise... Sasuke-kun knows the consequences of not being able to keep the promise."

This sentence was emphasized.

If Marshall D. Teach eats the Dark-Dark Fruit, they will have to kill Teach and immediately resume the search for Dark-Dark Fruits on the high seas.

This is truly like finding a needle in a haystack...

The Whitebeard Pirates were practically hoping Marshall D. Teach hadn't eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit, given that it took them two months to find it!

"Hmm..."

Marco scratched his head, then couldn't help but try to bargain, saying, "Little girl, if Teach or anyone else eats the Dark-Dark Fruit, we'll send them to Wano Country..."

"If that's the case, then Akatsuki doesn't need the Whitebeard Pirates anymore, and I don't need to come here to help with the treatment."

Sakura Haruno shook her head, her voice gradually lowering: "Sasuke-kun should know that capturing a Devil Fruit user isn't difficult for the Akatsuki..."

"Um…"

Sasuke Uchiha's expression turned slightly grave. He frowned and said, "It seems that guy has really given us a huge problem... Now we can only rely on luck, right?"

"Gurala la la la..."

Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, couldn't help but chuckle, glancing down at Satchel on the bed: "At least Satchel survived! I'll remember this favor, regardless of whether we find the fruit or not..."

"Well…"

Sakura Haruno looked slightly embarrassed, and couldn't help but say, "According to our agreement, no matter what happens in the world, the Whitebeard Pirates must find the Dark-Dark Fruit and deliver it to Wano Country within two months..."

"Sakura..."

Sasuke Uchiha's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He asked in a low voice, "That guy means... we have to give him the Dark-Dark Fruit, and even if he gets it first, it will be considered a breach of contract on our part, right?"

"…yes."

Sakura Haruno slowly nodded.

"Hey, what kind of logic is that!"

Diamond Jozu couldn't help but shout, "Didn't you say that getting the Dark-Dark Fruit was enough?"

"yes!"

Vista's face also turned serious: "If we say that, what if you hinder us from dealing with that traitor Teach!"

"If that's really the case..."

Izo's expression was also somewhat unpleasant; he had no goodwill towards these enemies who had invaded Wano Country: "Sounds like such methods are truly despicable..."

"shut up!"

Whitebeard glared at the jubilant captain, then turned to Sakura Haruno, grinning and saying, "Gurarararar... The leader of Akatsuki is quite interesting!"

If he gets the Dark-Dark Fruit before us, we can take it from him and give it back to him, which would fulfill our agreement, right?

"..."

Sakura Haruno couldn't help but take a half step back.

Sasuke Uchiha stood in front of Whitebeard and looked at Sakura Haruno, continuing, "Sakura, are that guy's conditions really that harsh? The Whitebeard Pirates cooperating with the Akatsuki to find Teach and the Dark-Dark Fruit—isn't that a good thing?"

"that…"

Sakura Haruno gripped her ninja tool pouch tightly and whispered, "Sasuke-kun, have you been here too long? When has Akatsuki ever cooperated with anyone else...?"

Sakura Haruno continued, "Before I came here, someone specifically told me to tell you not to do anything foolish... You should know the difference between the Whitebeard Pirates and Akatsuki, right?"

"Hey, you guys are really looking down on us!"

"We are the strongest pirate crew in the world!"

"Just a small, clandestine organization..."

"Just an ally of Kaido..."

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke's expression was grim.

Is there a big difference between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Akatsuki?

This is not something Sakura Haruno can insult; to be honest, the difference between the two is enormous.

Whether considering top-tier, mid-tier, or bottom-tier combat power, the entire Whitebeard Pirates, including all its subordinate pirate crews, are absolutely no match for the Akatsuki.

The Beast Pirates, an outlying force of the Akatsuki organization, are one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, just like the Whitebeard Pirates. They are merely one of the armed forces under Akatsuki.

"Speaking of which..."

Marco waved to stop the group of captains, then looked curiously at Sakura Haruno and said, "Your Akatsuki leader sounds like an unreasonable person... Isn't he worried that we won't be able to keep our promise?"

"Hahahaha... Marco is so awful!"

"But Marco is right!"

"Little girl, we're pirates!"

"Little girl, pirates don't always keep their promises. Although we Whitebeard Pirates always keep our promises, our swords are sharp too!"

"Stop talking!"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. He coldly surveyed the captains present and said in a deep voice, "Vita, Sakura is a medical ninja who came to help save Thatch... What do you mean by this?"

this moment…

Sasuke Uchiha's domineering aura was on full display!

No one could help but feel a little alarmed!

Whitebeard reached out his hand and ruffled Sasuke's hair, gently soothing him: "Sasuke, put away your domineering aura. It's okay if you scare these idiots, but don't scare our guests..."

After saying that, the white-bearded man looked at Sakura Haruno, grinned, and said, "Gurararara... I'm so sorry, my sons were so rude!"

This Yonko really is like a father.

Because only Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard, was apologizing to Sakura Haruno, the medical ninja, on behalf of his good-for-nothing sons.

Just like any other father…

"...It's okay."

Sakura Haruno bit her lip, shook her head, and said in a deep voice, "That person didn't tell me what he would do, but Sasuke-kun should understand."

As Sakura Haruno spoke, a hint of worry flickered in her eyes as she looked at Sasuke Uchiha: "Sasuke-kun, did you threaten that person? Or... did you accidentally say something hurtful to him?"

"...I was worried about Sachi's injury at the time."

Sasuke Uchiha's expression darkened further.

Based on his guess, Uehara Naraku was probably being petty again and deliberately made this condition to target him and the Whitebeard Pirates... It's also possible that Uehara Naraku was looking for an excuse to start targeting the Whitebeard Pirates!

But it has already begun!

There is no room for maneuver!

Uehara Naraku brought Haruno Sakura from the ninja world to help rescue Sachi, which meant that the life game he started was already beyond repair.

For a Sachi…

There's a good chance we'll end up with the Whitebeard Pirates!

The Whitebeard Pirates' only chance of winning is to find Marshall D. Teach immediately, pray that he hasn't eaten the Devil Fruit yet, and take back the Dark-Dark Fruit he stole!

"Sakura".

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Sakura Haruno and said with a serious expression, "Thank you for helping to rescue Sachi. Please go back and tell that person that I will fulfill this promise!"

"No…"

Whitebeard reached out and patted Sasuke on the shoulder: "Whitebeard will keep his promise!"

The white-bearded man turned to look at Sakura Haruno, grinning broadly, "Gurarararar... Since that guy doesn't want my favor, little girl, then this favor will be on your tab!"

"No, no, no..."

Sakura Haruno waved her hand hastily, a slight embarrassment in her expression: "Actually, there's no need for that. I'm just here on a mission..."

"It doesn't matter! We've already noted it down anyway."

At this point, the white-bearded man chuckled and continued, "Whatever you want to do, we'll help you. If you want to choose a husband from this ship, I'll agree... guralalala..."
