Chapter 172: Kirigakure: Hold tight to the thigh of the Whitebeard Pirate Group!

"Nice to see you again, Whitebeard."

Tsunade, who had returned to her busty form, looked up at Whitebeard in front of her.

As a medical ninja, Tsunade instinctively frowned slightly: "How much wine have you drunk?"

"I remember I seem to have reminded you that before your hidden diseases are completely cured, try not to drink alcohol, do not indulge in lust, and do not touch those harmful things."

"You may have listened to my last two suggestions, but you seem..... to have ignored my first suggestion."

After saying this, Tsunade glanced at Whitebeard's side.

Her eyelids jumped suddenly.

Because she found that next to Whitebeard, there were one after another wine jars.

Each wine jar has a diameter of at least one meter.

The height is also estimated to be one meter.

The key is that these wine jars are all empty, and the whole house is filled with a strong aroma of wine.

It's clear that they have all been drunk.

"Gurararararara!" Whitebeard leaned back in his chair and laughed heartily, looking down at Tsunade in front of him: "I am a pirate! If a pirate doesn't drink strong wine, what's the difference between taking this my life?"

".....Forget it, I can't persuade you." Tsunade could tell at a glance that Whitebeard was the kind of old man who had his own ideas.

"Can you stretch out your hand? I need to check your body to decide what kind of treatment plan I would use."

Tsunade said to Whitebeard.

Whitebeard very casually stretched out a big hand.

And Tsunade put her hand on this big hand.

Visible chakra is swirling between Tsunade's palms, the chakra seems to turn into strands of silk thread and penetrate into Whitebeard's body.

Tsunade doesn't need any precise instruments to assist her, because she herself is the most precise medical instrument in the entire ninja world.

Tsunade's mind is running quickly.

Analyzing Whitebeard's physical condition.

The examination process lasted for a full ten minutes.

If it were an ordinary medical ninja their chakra would be drained within a few minutes.

Fortunately, Tsunade has a lot of chakra.

After all, she is also a descendant of Senju.

"Sister Tsunade, how is Pops?" Naruto had been watching on the side, and when he saw Tsunade move her hand away, he couldn't help but ask weakly.

"He's basically very healthy." Tsunade replied: "But there are still some deeper underlying problems, especially the underlying problems of the heart and lungs, which I did not completely cure last time."

"If the last bit of problem is cured, then Whitebeard's body will be almost as robust as a healthy adult. When it comes to natural aging, I can't do anything about it."

Having said that, Tsunade continued to ponder: "I probably need to another seven days to prepare with Shizune."

Seven days, whether it's for Whitebeard or Naruto, is an acceptable time.

After all, Whitebeard's body is relatively healthy now.

It's not as urgent as before.

"Tsunade big sister, what is the probability of successful treatment?" Naruto asked curiously.

Tsunade thought for a while: "In treating patients, even the best doctors dare not guarantee 100%. If I do it myself, there may be a 95% chance of cure, but you all know that it is difficult for me to do it myself."

Hemophobia is a secret of Tsunade.

But her secret was exposed when she met with Whitebeard last time.

So it doesn't matter if she says it.

"The treatment after seven days is the same as last time, I will only command Shizune to perform the surgery next to her. In that case, the 95% probability will probably drop to about 90%."

Tsunade paused: "If you feel that a 90% probability is unacceptable, maybe you can wait for me to overcome hemophobia one day, and then personally perform the surgery for Whitebeard."

"Gurara! Just let your disciple do it again!"

Whether it's 90% or 95%, it doesn't matter to Whitebeard.

Even if there is only a 60% chance.

A man like Whitebeard would still readily agree.

Fear of death or failure.

That's not a pirate.

"The life of a pirate is nothing more than one gamble after another. If you win, you are the emperor of the sea, or even the king of pirates. If you lose, you are a defeated dog on the sea, just giving up your life."

Whitebeard grinned.

'Sure enough, it's still that old man with full personality charm!'

Tsunade sighed in her heart.

In Tsunade's impression, only a man like Whitebeard would have such a gambling spirit.

If it were the old guys in Konohagakure village...

Heh!

They even refused to add a medical ninja to each team during the war.

Every time Tsunade thinks about this, she feels contemptuous in her heart.

They are all old men of no small age, why is the gap so big when compared?

...

On the other side

Land of Rice Fields.

"Ninja, the Otogakure Village... has been established, and we also promise to provide no less than 200 to 300 million Ryo in village funds to the Otogakure Village every year."

"We also promise you that once a child with Kekkei Genkai is found within the Land of Rice Fields, we will send them to you."

"Can you let go of our Daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields?"

A retainer of the Daimyo of the Land of Rice Fields knelt on the ground, trembling.

When he spoke, it was with a tentative tone.

It's hard to imagine that he could be so humble.

"Hehe...." Orochimaru today is not wearing the Akatsuki robe, his face is also a very unfamiliar face.

It's a woman's face.

"When did I promise you guys to let the Daimyo go?"

Orochimaru licked his lips: "Do you want me to wait until you guys send over some special children, then I will return some parts of your Daimyo to you, as an exchange?"

"Ah? Parts?" The retainer of the Daimyo was scared and his face turned pale, he quickly pressed his forehead to the ground: "Please, be merciful, Daimyo-sama absolutely cannot die!"

Orochimaru chuckled "Just a joke, don't take it so seriously. When I want to let him go, I will let him go."

".....Yes, Ninja-sama!"

What else can this retainer say?

He can only humbly agree.

Orochimaru ignored this person, he turned his head to look at a simple ninja village behind him, the corners of his mouth raised a few evil smiles: "Whitebeard gave me a lot of inspiration! He can easily destroy a small country's ninja village, then I also have the ability to easily build a ninja village in a small country."

"This is also a retreat arranged in advance!"

Orochimaru actually joined the Akatsuki out of curiosity about the Akatsuki and the Rinnegan.

But as time passed.

He found that the ideas of the Akatsuki and his goals are not quite the same.

How to say.....

Although there are many strong people in the Akatsuki, Orochimaru feels that their ideas are very naive.

Especially the ultimate goal of the Akatsuki, in the eyes of people like Orochimaru, is as naive as it can be.

Will the world that has experienced "pain" really enter peace?

Orochimaru believes it is absolutely impossible.

Because human greed and human brutality are more terrifying than any Ninjutsu.

In the world, there will always be a few madmen who are not afraid of that kind of pain.

And those few madmen may even have the power to move the ninja world.

Unless one day humans are extinct.

Otherwise, the war will never stop.

This difference in philosophy and goals makes Orochimaru have the impulse to leave the Akatsuki. Mainly because he is just a tool man who is called around in the Akatsuki.

The Akatsuki did not provide him with any help in research.

On the contrary, he has to execute tasks for the Akatsuki from time to time.

Orochimaru believes that not only are the ideas and goals of the Akatsuki very naive, but the structure of the organization is also a grass-roots group. There is no normal reward system inside, and it all depends on a group of rebel ninjas to generate money for organization.

Orochimaru couldn't understand, those who joined the Akatsuki..... where did they get the motivation to give their lives for the Akatsuki?

For that naive idea?

He doesn't understand.

So... Orochimaru, who wants to leave the Akatsuki, kidnaps a small country's Daimyo in his spare time, establishes a small ninja village in advance, and uses it as a retreat after leaving the Akatsuki.

"Leader!"

Just at this moment, a ninja wearing a mask appeared behind Orochimaru, and knelt on one knee to Orochimaru and said: "Konohagakure has sent a telegram, the Third Hokage warmly welcomes our 'invitation'. He stated in the telegram that all the ninjas from Otogakure who come to Konohagakure to participate in the Chunin exam, all their food, clothing, housing, and transportation expenses will be covered by Konohagakure."

"Heh..."

Orochimaru laughed: "The old man still loves fame so much, the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of so many ninjas are not a small sum! It's only been a few years since the end of the Third Great Ninja War, and he has spent so much money on this."

"Chunin exam!" Orochimaru seemed eager to try.

But he shook his head again, talking to himself: "Now is not a good time, I am not proficient enough in that 'technique'."

It seems.... this time I can only casually send some kids to Konohagakure to participate in the Chunin exam.

By the way, let them find out what Konohagakure is like now.

Collect some useful information.

In this way, it can lay some groundwork for my future plans.

Orochimaru adopted quite a few interesting kids a while ago.

Letting them participate in the Chunin exam can also be considered as their experience.

At that time, just send a subordinate to lead the team.

"Eh?" Suddenly, Orochimaru felt a strange movement in the ring he was wearing.

His brows furrowed slightly.

He walked into an underground laboratory in Otogakure without saying a word.

Injected a trace of chakra into the ring.

His mind was invested in it.

...

"Don't worry, with my recommendation, you will definitely be able to join Akatsuki. This meeting is just a formality. After all, no matter how you say it, it's an organization, there must be some sense of ceremony."

Obito was still wearing a mask, even though his previous mask was shattered by Whitebeard's sword.

But such the same mask, Obito's Kamui space has accumulated no less than a hundred.

At this moment, the person standing in front of Obito is Uchiha Itachi.

"It sounds like you are a high-ranking member of this organization?"

Itachi was expressionless, seemingly unintentionally asked Obito a sentence.

"Heh, are you probing for information from my mouth?"

Obito, who had put on a mask, temporarily occupied the high ground: "Don't ask so much, you just need to wait. After joining Akatsuki, you will be an intern of the Akatsuki organization, and someone will arrange a partner for you."

"The other party is also a newcomer, what's his name, Biwa Juzo?" 

Obito laughed softly: "He is also quite famous, he has a bit of fame in the ninja world."

"Biwa Juzo...."

Itachi squinted his eyes: "Is he one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village?"

"Oh! Yes!" Obito said: "It's that guy, he joined Akatsuki a bit earlier than you, but not much earlier, at most he just looked for half a month. That guy is quite powerful, he killed one of our newcomers, holding his head and found us, saying he wanted to join us."

"People who come out of the Blood Mist Kirigakure Village are indeed very murderous! Speaking of which, with the nature of the Blood Mist Kirigakure Village, he must have killed many companions from the same village in the past, and you have killed many of your clansmen."

"I think..... you should get along with him very happily. After all, from this point of view, you and that Biwa Juzo, barely count as the same kind of people."

Having said that.

Obito laughed without restraint..

Uchiha Itachi didn't bother with him, just stood quietly in place, silent.

Because, Itachi is trying to capture some useful information from the information that Obito revealed.

Uchiha Itachi has not forgotten his purpose of joining the Akatsuki.

He had promised the Third Hokage.

"'Madara-sama', I got a pretty interesting piece of information!"

Just then, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

Tobi was seen drilling out of the ground: "The village of Konohagakure is going to restart the Chunin exam, and they are inviting many ninja villages to participate!"

Chunin exam?

Obito's eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Uchiha Itachi with a bit of schadenfreude, and sneered: "It seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen, that little monkey, doesn't take the Uchiha clan seriously. The Uchiha clan has had such a big event, that guy not only turns a blind eye, but also wants to hold such a grand event."

"Itachi, Don't you regret ever serving someone like him?"

He wanted to pat Itachi's shoulder.

But Itachi cleverly avoided it.

Obito squinted his eyes, but didn't say much, just said: "Don't you want to take revenge on him? You who have joined the Akatsuki no longer need to serve such a guy."

"Are you done?" Itachi looked at Obito.

Obito replied: "I'm done."

"If you're done, stop nagging." Itachi directly ignored Obito: "Your nagging is annoying."

Obito: "..."

... 

Land of Water.

Kirigakure Village.

"Terumi Mei, it's up to you to escort these children to Konohagakure. Be careful on the road, especially be careful of the Akatsuki. I think they won't give up because of the death of the Fourth Mizukage. Maybe, they have been watching our Kirigakure Village."

The elder Genji leaned on a cane and said solemnly to Terumi Mei: "If you encounter an ambush by the Akatsuki, remember not to fight with them, if you can run with the children, just run with them."

"They are all the future of Kirigakure, 

and they are also the foundation for Kirigakure to get rid of the blood mist in the future. They must not be allowed to fall halfway. Remember, your task is very arduous!" 

Terumi Mei nodded heavily: "Please rest assured, I will definitely protect them."

Behind Terumi Mei is a group of young boys and girls.

Although Kirigakure Village has many adult Genin, this time for the Chunin exam, Kirigakure Village decided to send a group of younger generations with more potential.

The leading Chunin exam of Konohagakure wants to show the strength of the village.

Participating in the Chunin exam of Kirigakure Village, why not want to take this opportunity to tell the entire ninja world..... their Kirigakure Village has not become talentless because of the blood mist policy.

"By the way..... bring that thing out."

When Genji's words fell, a ninja behind him quickly handed over the item he was holding in his hands.

"What is this?!"

Seeing that thing, Terumi Mei's eyes widened a few points.

"This is the Mizukage's hat, symbolizing the highest power of Kirigakure."

At this moment, the teacher solemnly handed the Mizukage hat to Terumi Mei. "I hope that after you go to Konohagakure, you will hand over this important symbol of Kirigakure to Edward Newgate-dono."

Genji said Whitebeard's name very seriously.

But he added a title after the name.

"No matter whether Edward Newgate-dono is willing to take over the position of the Fifth Mizukage, this hat, which symbolizes the highest power of Kirigakure Village, will also be kept by the Whitebeard Pirates."

The teacher continued: "The Whitebeard Pirates, who have a Mizukage hat, can appoint anyone as the Fifth Mizukage. No matter who he appoint, we will fully support that person to become our Fifth Mizukage!"

Terumi Mei was dumbfounded.

"This this this...." She took over this Mizukage hat.

And looked up at the serious and serious teacher in front of her.

"Genji-sama, if we do this, won't the real decision-maker in Kirigakure after the Fifth Mizukage is elected in the future be not the Fifth, but the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Terumi Mei was speechless: "In this way, wouldn't our Kirigakure Village become a vassal of the Whitebeard Pirates? Just like the Kusagakure Village that has been killed by the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Mei, times have changed."

Genji's muddy eyes are the great wisdom of assisting several Mizukages: "I have a premonition that within the next twenty years, the pattern of the ninja world may undergo earth-shaking changes."

"Now Kirigakure Village must rely on the Whitebeard Pirates, so we can still call ourselves one of the five major ninja villages. Otherwise, do you think the current Kirigakure is worthy of this title?"

Terumi Mei was speechless.

Because what Genji said is correct, if we do not rely on the power of the Whitebeard Pirates, what if a war breaks out in the future.....

With Kirigakure Village that has been torn apart by the Fourth Mizukage?

Maybe we can't even beat the Sunagakure Village?

"Remember..... With the Whitebeard Pirates on the same boat, our Kirigakure Village can prosper together." The teacher said: "All these starting points are for the village, also for the Land of Water, and even more for those civilians who can't eat enough food."

The Kirigakure Village, which is waiting to be revived, needs to progress too much.

In Genji's eyes, Kirigakure can prosper if they are holding the thigh of Whitebeard Pirates.

As for whether this will be shameful?

For politicians like him, there are no word of shame in his dictionary.

If kneeling in front of Whitebeard, recognizing Whitebeard as a father, can make Kirigakure Village better.

Genji will be the first to kneel, and definitely the first to recognize Whitebeard as a father.

Even if his age now.....

Actually older than Whitebeard.

"I understand!" Terumi Mei nodded heavily.
