Chapter 34: Bounty on Whitebeard! The firm Konoha Village no longer exists!

 "That guy called Whitebeard, defeated the Third Hokage, and took the Jinchuriki away from the Konoha Village?"

 Those Uchiha who are very aggressive in the Uchiha clan and advocate revenge for Gan, Fumi, and Cui.

 Upon learning this news.

 They were all stunned!

 They have gathered more than thirty Uchiha clan ninjas, most of whom are elite ninjas from the Uchiha Police Force, and the weakest are all Konoha Chunin level.

 Although the Uchiha clan is full of mental illnesses.

 But they are not fools.

 Uchiha Gan, Uchiha Fumi, and Uchiha Cui, the three clansmen with Sharingan, were all easily defeated by that Whitebeard.

 They naturally can't just gather a few people to find trouble, which is no different from committing suicide and giving away a few pairs of Sharingan for free.

 But...

 When they felt that everything was ready and formulated a detailed combat plan, they were determined to take down Whitebeard's head.

 This group of Uchihas suddenly found out.

 They were hasty.

 "That guy..." A Chunin from the Uchiha Police Force swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and cold sweat overflowed from his forehead: "He can actually defeat the Third Hokage..."

 Although they are very hostile to the Konoha Village's higher-ups, including Hokage.

 But they never thought that the Third Hokage was weak.

 Otherwise...

 The coup plan within the Uchiha clan...

 It would not have been delayed until now.

 ...

 The Third Hokage fought with Whitebeard and unfortunately lost. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was abducted by Whitebeard. The Third Hokage is still lying in the hospital. Although he woke up, it was difficult to get up.

 In just one night, so many major events happened, and all the major ninja clans in the entire Konoha Village were shocked!

 Who would have thought that as the top of Konoha Village's combat power.

 The Third Hokage, who is known as the strongest Hokage in history...

 Actually lost to an outsider.

 If it was defeated by an outsider outside of Konoha, it could barely be said that the Third Hokage was ambushed.

 But this was defeated inside the Konoha Village. It was in his own home court that he couldn't beat an outsider.

 This.....he still lost?

 "This matter must not be publicized too much. At least, we cannot let the civilians in the village know about this." In the Hokage building of Leaf Village, one of Konoha Village's higher-ups, Homura, adjusted his glasses and said seriously after pushing them up.

 At this time, a group of people gathered in the office of the Third Hokage, but this office was missing only the Third Hokage.

 Danzo was also present. Although there was no fluctuation in his expression on his face, he was already overjoyed in his heart.

 He coughed and interrupted: "Well, indeed. But a ninja village cannot always be without a Hokage."

 Danzo didn't care about what impact this matter would have if civilians knew about it.

 What he cares about is the position of Hokage!

 Danzo looked around at a group of people.

 He continued: "Saru... Sarutobi is now seriously injured and hospitalized. The best medical ninjas in Konoha Village Hospital all say that he will have difficulty getting out of bed within a month, let alone handling government affairs."

 "I think we should take this opportunity to re-select..." But before Danzo finished speaking, he was interrupted by Koharu with white hair and narrow eyes.

 "We have already thought about this." Koharu said: "Sarutobi really can't handle Hokage affairs within a month. And he also asked Anbu to tell us that during this month, Me, Homura and you Danzo will handle Hokage affairs together."

 Koharu paused for a while. She glanced at Danzo and continued calmly: "Until a month later when his body recovers a bit and he can get out of bed, then transfer back to Hokage affairs."

 Danzo's eyes widened slightly.

 What does she mean?

Isn't this any different from before? Weren't Konoha Village's affairs handled by them four together?

 According to Danzo's original idea, he wanted to take this opportunity to let everyone elect an interim Hokage.

 And among all higher-ups in Konoha Village

 Which person... is more suitable than Danzo?

 But Danzo didn't expect that his "suggestion" hadn't been spoken yet, but it was directly interrupted and blocked. 

 especially when they heard the words, "As conveyed to us by the Anbu,"

 Danzo's fists were clenched tight.

 His Teeth were on the verge of being ground to dust.

 That damned monkey, lying in bed like a waste of space, yet still unable to let go of the power of the Hokage.

 Not giving even a sliver of opportunity, was he prepared for this all along?

 At this point,

 Utatane Koharu spoke: "Sarutobi has already sent Kakashi to pursue the Jinchuriki and Whitebeard. If he can keep up with the Jinchuriki, then we can grasp the movements of the Jinchuriki and Whitebeard. According to what I learned from Sarutobi, Whitebeard and the Jinchuriki are going outside the village to find Tsunade!"

 Nara Shikaku leaned against the wall, a blade of grass in his mouth, and he interjected: "I heard that Lady Tsunade has been active within the borders of the Land of Fire in recent years. If they are looking for Lady Tsunade, they definitely won't leave the Land of Fire."

 Mitokado Homura adjusted her glasses, nodding: "In that case, we might be able to start by finding Tsunade's whereabouts."

 "There's a problem." Hyuga Hiashi was also here.

 His Byakugan eyes were calm: "What if other ninja villages find out that the Jinchuriki has left Konoha and they take action?"

 If it was during Konoha's most resolute times

 Everyone present would give a very definite answer - declare war directly with the other party!!

 But...

 Konoha is not so tough now.

 The departure of the Sannin, the hospitalization of the Hokage, distrust towards the Uchiha clan, the departure of the Jinchuriki... these negative buffs are all added to Konoha village.

 It's hard to be tough.

 But there are always exceptions.

 "Hmph! Is this even a question? That would naturally be..." As an "exception", Danzo was about to speak, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted again.

 Homura took a deep breath and, after scanning everyone.

 He answered: "So this matter should be kept secret if it can be kept secret. If it is still known by other ninja villages, we'll discuss it then. Everything will be discussed after Sarutobi recovers."

 Danzo: "..."

 "As for Whitebeard..." Homurao said: "I suggest that Whitebeard be internally wanted by Konoha!"

 "Internal wanted?" A newly coined term made everyone present look at each other in confusion.

 Homura explained: "This is a wanted order that only Konoha ninjas can know about. A reward of 50 million Ryo for Whitebeard! Any Konoha ninja who can capture Whitebeard alive or bring back his head and bring back the Jinchuriki can get the reward!"

 "50 million Ryo..." Sarutobi Asuma, who was standing in the corner smoking a cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring: "A very reasonable number."

 He is able to defeat his father, Third Hokage.

 It is really worth this bounty.

 ...

 On the streets of Konoha village.

 Akimichi Chouji held a bag of barbecue-flavored potato chips.

 He gnawed on them while tears streamed down his face, speaking to Shikamaru, "Shikamaru, I heard from my father that Naruto left Konoha."

 "Wuu wuu wuu... Our newly made good friend left us. From now on our three-man team will only have two people left."

 "...Where did this three-man team come from?"

 Shikamaru with a full head of black lines. "We only knew Naruto for a few days and we became a three-man team?"

 He looked at the street ahead.

Fell into silence.

 Shikamaru and Choji came to Naruto's home.

 What came into view was a long street that had been sealed off. The entrance to the street was blocked by caution tape.

 But you could still see inside full of scars.

 Like it had been demolished.

 "My father didn't tell me much." Shikamaru crossed his fingers behind his head and said with an indifferent face: "But I can still roughly know some situations."

 "Naruto left Konoha with his giant father. This matter caused quite a stir among those adults."

 "Shikamaru, will Naruto come back?!" Choji's eyes were teary. This wasn't an act, and his eyes were red from crying.

 But his hands didn't stop moving, and neither did his mouth. A bag of potato chips was quickly eaten halfway through.

 "He will."

 – "I will definitely become Hokage."

 He recalled Naruto's words in front of him and Choji, recalling those deep blue eyes that were more determined than his peers.

 Shikamaru affirmed again: "He will definitely come back."

 "Choji, stop crying!" He inserted his hands into his pockets, where a handkerchief once lent to Naruto was kept.

 Shikamaru said, "Although I don't know why I have this feeling, I always think that when Uzumaki Naruto returns to Konoha, we will see a completely different him!"

 "Shikamaru, is that... is that true?"

 "Have I ever lied to you?"

 ...

 "Ah... Ah... Achoo!!!!"

 Naruto rubbed his nose vigorously. His nose was a bit itchy today. From morning till now, he had already sneezed dozens of times.

 "Pops, how are we going to find Tsunade?"

 Naruto asked curiously while dragging his suitcase.

 "Gurararara!" Whitebeard laughed, "That medical ninja called Tsunade is a ninja from Konoha. Konoha ninjas must know a lot about Konoha ninjas. Just ask that white-haired brat."

 "White hair?" Naruto was taken aback, "Is it the masked ninja uncle?"

 "Yes! That brat is following behind! He has been following for an hour now. Did you see that stray dog?" Whitebeard said.

 "Ah?" Naruto hurriedly looked back.

 Sure enough, he saw a stray dog following far behind them. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't see it.

 That strange stray dog seemed to have heard their conversation and its body stiffened involuntarily.

 Kakashi: "..."
