"Conqueror's Haki" Appears in Konoha!

With Gan's "disappearance," the entire scene fell silent.

"This guy... is so fast!" Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly.

He couldn't see Whitebeard's movements with his regular eye. He had no idea how Whitebeard attacked!

When he realized it, a Uchiha Police Force member had already been sent flying.

"Instant ninjutsu?"

Kakashi shook his head gravely: "No! It looks like taijutsu! Extremely powerful taijutsu!"

Kakashi thought of Might Guy.

But...

Even if Might Guy opened the Eight Gates to three gates, Kakashi could still see his movements with his regular eye.

But did this "Whitebeard" open the Eight Gates?

Or use similar taijutsu?

No!

Not!

Kakashi's palms began to sweat as he realized the gravity of the situation: "I didn't even sense any chakra fluctuation. This is... sheer, overwhelming physical power?"

Is this something a human can do?

Oh! This guy doesn't even seem human. Who is this tall?

He's beyond human limits!

"Gan!"

"Gan!"

Outside Ichiraku Ramen.

Bun and Tsui were shocked. They didn't expect a Uchiha Chunin to be so powerless against this giant!

The two exchanged a glance.

They made a quick decision!

Like Gan, their eyes turned blood-red, revealing the single tomoe of the Sharingan.

Their hands quickly formed seals: Snake – Ram – Monkey – Boar – Horse – Tiger!

"Huh?" Seeing their familiar stance.

Whitebeard grinned: "Gu ra ra ra! More water?"

The masked kid before had already proven.

Water from this shinobi world did not affect Whitebeard!

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

Bun and Tsui spoke in unison. Positioned to Whitebeard's left and right, they blocked his escape routes.

Giant, blazing fireballs shot from their mouths, heading straight for Whitebeard!

The flames roared!

The temperature soared!

"Hmm? Fire?"

Whitebeard's eyes flickered, memories surfacing.

The image of Ace pierced by the magma kid's fist was vivid, making him want to punch his foolish son.

Whitebeard had intended to sacrifice himself to cover their retreat.

But his foolish son Ace was easily provoked by the magma kid's taunt.

While he reminisced...

The two "Fireball Jutsus" struck Whitebeard.

Flames engulfed Whitebeard's upper body.

The intense heat forced Naruto to step back repeatedly.

He cried out in panic, tears welling up, his breathing erratic: "Dad! Dad, are you okay!"

"Not good! Nine-Tails chakra! Is the seal loosening?"

Beside him, Kakashi noticed Naruto's fingernails sharpening. His expression changed: "Could it be... the emotional fluctuation is affecting the seal?"

Kakashi knew he couldn't sit idly by.

He placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder, keeping his eyes on Whitebeard, and said: "Calm down, your... your dad isn't ordinary."

"Gu ra ra ra!"

A cheerful yet slightly sad laugh emerged from the flames: "You two Uchiha brats really brought back bad memories!"

Whitebeard casually waved his hand, dispersing the flames covering his upper body!

"Naruto, your dad isn't that easy to kill!"

Whitebeard's smile remained, without a single burn mark on him.

During the Marineford War... even facing cannon fire, Whitebeard's body remained largely unscathed.

Let alone mere flames.

He grabbed Murakumogiri, and the powerful aura radiating from him created a gust that spread outwards.

Whitebeard casually swung his naginata.

Without using his Devil Fruit power or Haki.

Just a simple swing created a terrifying wind pressure!

The cement ground under his feet was torn apart!

A swing was comparable to a Wind Release jutsu!

This sight made the two Uchiha's pupils widen in shock, their danger senses screaming.

Boom!

Boom!

Their bodies turned into two puffs of smoke, and the wind pressure instantly shredded two wooden logs. In response, many nearby windows shattered.

Wood and cement debris flew wildly, several utility poles snapped, and wires broke.

Trees lining the street were uprooted.

The entire street was in ruins.

Only Ichiraku Ramen behind Whitebeard remained intact, its curtain undisturbed.

"Monster... monster..." Often called monsters themselves, the Uchiha clan had found someone they considered a monster.

It was clear.

The impact Whitebeard had on them was enormous.

"If we hadn't used substitution jutsu, we would be dead!" Bun was terrified, cold sweat pouring, his single tomoe Sharingan providing no sense of security.

Tsui clutched his bleeding abdomen, having evaded a fatal blow with substitution jutsu.

But the aftershock was too terrible.

The area of impact is too broad.

A sharp stone had pierced his abdomen. Though he saw its trajectory with the Sharingan, his body couldn't react in time.

Tsui was enraged, glaring at Whitebeard: "Damn it, do you want to declare war on the Uchiha?"

They forgot.

They struck first.

"Gu ra ra ra! You two Uchiha brats, I'm Whitebeard! Do you think you can make me declare war on you?" Whitebeard laughed heartily. "You people are as weak as clay; a mere stone can pierce your body."

As he spoke.

An even more terrifying aura erupted from Whitebeard!

The two battered Uchiha Police Force members felt their world darken, sensing black lightning.

Their minds buzzed.

Their souls and consciousness were hit with unprecedented force.

A strong sense of dizziness replaced their clarity, making their bodies limp.

Both simultaneously dropped to their knees.

Their eyes rolled back.

They collapsed forward!

"Is this a genjutsu? One that can affect the Uchiha?" Holding Naruto's shoulder, Kakashi realized not intervening might have been wise.

"Gu ra ra ra! Genjutsu?"

Whitebeard laughed loudly: "This is called Conqueror's Haki!"
