Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 113 The Rising Tide

After all, it will be a few years from now.

According to Madara Uchiha's plan, Obito will awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Obito, having awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan, is quite troublesome when it comes to hiding and escaping, thanks to his Kamui eye technique.

Suzuki had made preparations well in advance.

A short while later, Mifune returned with the dango.

"Lord Suzuki, your dumplings!"

"OK, thanks."

Suzuki accepted the dumpling and expressed his gratitude to Mifune with a gentle expression.

The two walked along the street toward Suzuki's residence.

"Hey Kai, let's have a father-son match!"

"Yes, Father!"

"Let's start now, using frog jumps to get home. I'll count to three, and then we'll begin!"

"One, two. Huh? Suzuki??"

"Brother Suzuki???"

Just as Might Guy and Might Guy were about to crouch down, they unexpectedly saw Suzuki's figure.

The two greeted each other with delight:

"Brother Suzuki, you're back from your mission?"

"Hey, Suzuki, wanna join our competition?"

"."

Suzuki smiled gently.

The Matt father and son were still wearing their distinctive green bodysuits, each carrying a large wild boar on their shoulders.

Suzuki's eyes narrowed slightly, then he smiled and said:

"Mr. Dai, Kai, it's been a long time."

"I'd rather not compete; I'm currently acting as a tour guide for a friend."

As he spoke, Suzuki pointed to the prey on their shoulders and asked, seemingly puzzled:

"Where did you hunt such a big wild boar?"

Matt Day lifted the wild boar up a bit, laughing heartily:

"Hahaha, Suzuki, it's normal that you don't know since you haven't been in the village lately."

"Not long ago, for some unknown reason, many large wild beasts appeared in the Death Forest."

"These wild beasts seem to be disrupting the forest's ecosystem. It's said some have even escaped the forest and injured villagers, so the Third Master gave the order!"

"The Third Hokage said that we ninjas who stayed behind in the village should go and clear out the large wild beasts inside."

"Furthermore, anything between three and ten meters is considered a C-level mission!"

"I've heard that there are also super-large beasts in the forest that are ten or even twenty or thirty meters tall, and some Jonin have taken them in as summoning beasts."

"Hahaha, my wild boar is four or five meters long too."

As he spoke, Might patted the wild boar's large rump, then warmly invited Suzuki:

"Suzuki, how about coming to my house for dinner tonight?"

"Look how plump it is, it would taste amazing roasted!"

Beside him, Might Guy, who had already entered the Ninja Academy, couldn't contain his joy and boasted to Suzuki like a child:

"Brother Suzuki, this thing on my back is also 2.3 meters long!"

Seeing Might and his son simultaneously flashing their bright white teeth, Suzuki smiled gently, then patted Might Guy's head and praised him:

"Not bad, Kai!"

"It's clear you've grown a lot recently. Keep it up!"

Immediately afterward, Suzuki looked at Might Guy with a hint of apology on his face:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dai."

As he spoke, Suzuki pointed to Mifune, who was traveling with him:

"My friend, Mifune."

"He still wants to explore Konoha Village. I'll visit your house properly when I have time later."

Upon hearing Suzuki's words, Mifune immediately understood what his boss meant.

As a suitable shield, he also showed apology on his face, and bowed slightly to Matt and his son, saying:

"Excuse me, gentlemen."

"Having just arrived in Konoha, I am quite amazed and curious about its prosperity, so I hope Lord Suzuki can show me around Konoha!"

"I sincerely apologize for interrupting your reunion!"

Might Guy and Might Guy rarely saw anyone so polite to them, and Mifune looked more like a nobleman than a nobleman himself.

The two quickly waved to Mifune to indicate that it was alright, and then said to Suzuki:

"Suzuki/Brother Suzuki, we'll be going now!"

"Okay, Kai, Dai, good luck in the game!"

"Waaaaah! Did you hear that? Kai, the sweat you shed is the true glory of youth!"

"Ah, I know, Father! This is youth!"

"Well then, Suzuki/Brother Suzuki, we're off!"

"1, 2, 3—"

Okay, keep it up!

"."

Two green figures moved swiftly, crouching and jumping, bringing a unique touch of youthful color to the bustling food street.

Suzuki waved goodbye to them, his heart filled with admiration and appreciation.

"Mr. Suzuki, those two are no ordinary people!"

Mifune watched the departing figures of Might and his son, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, of course."

"Dai and Kai are both rare individuals with unwavering convictions!"

Suzuki said with certainty.

Mifune felt the same way; the impression that the Might family left on people was so simple and profound!

Youth seems to be the very word that describes them!

However, Mifune still had some doubts:

"Mr. Suzuki, is there any connection between those large wild boars on their shoulders and the creatures cloned by the researchers at the base?"

Upon hearing the swordsman, who had been recently recruited, mention this matter, Suzuki nodded calmly.

"Um."

"Those are cloned organisms from the base."

"I had Kakuzu deployed to the ninja world a long time ago."

"They seem to be growing quite well so far."

Suzuki turned slightly and looked at the ninjas who were coming from the Forest of Death to sell large wild beasts at the food street. A smile appeared on his face.

Whether it was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, ordering ninjas to clear the Forest of Death, and then having these wild beasts hunted down by the ninjas for food, or...

Or perhaps the Jonin should simply tame those giant beasts over ten meters tall as summoning creatures.

This is exactly what Suzuki wanted to see.

Under his influence, the fate of the ninja world has quietly undergone a new change!

In fact, it's not just the large wild beasts in the Death Forest.

and also--

Suzuki looked up at the newsbirds flying overhead, his smile growing even wider.

"Let's go, Mr. Mifune."

"Yes, Mr. Suzuki!"

As the two figures gradually faded away, the bustling food street remained as lively as ever.

……

The Hokage Building, office.

"Bang!"

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, slammed his hand on his desk and angrily threw the newspaper in his hand at Danzo Shimura's face.

"Look! Look!"

"Danzo, you've made Konoha a laughingstock throughout the entire ninja world!"

"..."

Knowing his old friend was angry, Shimura Danzo dared not speak, but picked up the newspaper with a somewhat grim expression. The headline in large print immediately caught his eye:

"Shocking! Konoha's White Fang forced to commit suicide!"

Why did White Tooth commit suicide?

Why have the Konoha leadership all remained silent on this matter?

"Who exactly was Shimura Danzo?"

Let's uncover the truth behind White Tooth's suicide—
