Chapter 287: Konan's Shock! The Encounter between Akatsuki and Whitebeard Pirates!

"Obito, Obito." Tobi came outside and looked up at Obito sitting on the tree branch, "Hey, what should we do next? Should we keep these brats here and do nothing?"

Sitting on the tree branch, Obito, who was leaning against the tree and resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Tobi below.

"Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly and replied, "Of course, send a White Zetsu clone to deliver a 'challenge' to the Whitebeard Pirates!"

With the usefulness of the White Zetsu clone, how could Obito not take advantage of it?

"Eh? White Zetsu clone?" Tobi was taken aback, "You're not thinking of sending me to find the Whitebeard Pirates, are you?"

Immediately, Tobi's tone became somewhat urgent, "Hey hey hey, this is not an easy task!"

Obito twitched the corner of his mouth, "Idiot... I'm not asking you to go, there are so many White Zetsu clones, just pick one."

"Oh! That's good, that's good." Tobi's tone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, even a bit of relief.

His reaction made Obito narrow his eyes, "You're not scared, are you? You can feel fear too?"

"Well, well, apart from not being able to poop, I'm just like a human in other aspects!" Tobi waved his hand and explained, "It's normal for someone as special as me to feel fear, right?"

Obito pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

He looked down at his own palm, at this moment... his hand was no longer the original one.

Because his original arm had already been destroyed by Whitebeard.

"Damn it!"

But the degree of Whitebeard's detestability was far less than that of Kakashi.

When Obito thought of Whitebeard, all he felt was a sense of palpitation, and his mind was full of thoughts of staying away from that man, lest he die in his hands next time.

But when he thought of Kakashi, all Obito felt was a strong killing intent.

He wished he could kill Kakashi right now.

...

The welcome party that the Whitebeard Pirates held for Kimimaro lasted a whole day, and they openly used the Raikage building of Kumogakure Village as the venue for the party.

Such an extremely arrogant act made some of the more impulsive ninjas in Kumogakure grit their teeth in anger.

But they had no choice, if they provoked the Whitebeard Pirates, their reckless actions might involve the entire village.

"Outrageous! Outrageous!"

The Fourth Raikage, with an empty right arm, smashed a table with a slap of his left hand, gritting his teeth, "Whitebeard Pirates, you've gone too far!"

The Fourth Raikage, "A", looked out and saw the Raikage Building, which was already in ruins.

Some of the village's ninjas were cleaning up the aftermath of the Whitebeard Pirates' revelry from yesterday.

Next to him, an elder from Kumogakure twitched his eyelids, fearing that this hot-tempered Raikage-sama would provoke Whitebeard again.

He quickly spoke up, "Raikage-sama, the most important thing now is to stabilize Whitebeard. Once they've had enough of Kumogakure Village, they will definitely leave."

A took a deep breath. It was easy to say, but he was the Raikage!

Allowing a group of pirates to have fun on his own territory for a whole day, anyone with a bit of temper would be angry, right?

A shifted his gaze and looked out the window, choosing to be out of sight, out of mind.

But at a glance, he noticed a strange person.

The other party was walking on the road, and the people around her seemed to not see her at all.

Logically speaking... a woman as beautiful as her couldn't possibly not attract the attention of passersby.

Unless, there was some special means to reduce her presence, or some special Ninjutsu to obstruct the sight of passersby?

A frowned, "That guy..."

At the same time.

Konan vaguely felt someone staring at her. She furrowed her brows and looked in the direction of the gaze. The two gazes collided in mid-air.

The upper body of the Fourth Raikage appeared in front of Konan.

Konan was startled.

She just happened to be passing by this place. Who would have thought that when she looked up, it was the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure Village!

'...My luck is a bit bad.' Konan thought to herself.

She calmly turned her head straight, pretending to be nonchalant, and continued to walk ahead.

In fact, Konan wasn't too panicked. Because the direction she was heading to was indeed the direction of the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick within Kumogakure Village!

Over the past two days, she had thought about what to do and what to say.

She believed that the Fourth Raikage, who had been captured by the Whitebeard Pirates, did not want to see Whitebeard again.

She determined that the other party would not follow.

"Although I haven't really come into contact with Whitebeard, I have obtained a small piece of information - Whitebeard might like money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have extorted billions from Kumogakure Village. This behavior is exactly the same as his behavior in Konohagakure Village."

Konan felt that this was an important piece of information and a weakness of Whitebeard.

As for how to use this, she couldn't think of it for the time being.

Anyway, just remember it.

Soon.

Konan saw the very large pirate ship.

The big ship was docked at the edge of Kumogakure Village.

When the Whitebeard Pirates first came to Kumogakure Village, Konan knew that the ship was docked at the foot of the mountain.

She didn't know how those pirates managed to get the ship up there.

"A pirate ship on top of a kilometer-high peak, how magical!" Konan exclaimed.

She also looked back at the Raikage behind her, and sure enough, he just glanced at her and didn't follow.

"It seems... the Whitebeard Pirates have brought a lot of pressure to the civilians and ninjas of Kumogakure Village. Within a few hundred meters of this ship, there aren't many people who dare to approach."

This led to her becoming the most eye-catching person.

Because she was the only one heading straight for the pirate ship.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out beside her, "May I ask who you are?!"

Konan's pupils contracted.

This sudden voice made all the muscles in her body tense up.

She resisted the impulse to act and turned her head to see a somewhat familiar face next to her.

"Shisui of the Body Flicker!"

The person who appeared next to her was indeed Uchiha Shisui.

No wonder she didn't notice his presence at first, the Shisui of the Body Flicker of Konohagakure was indeed well-deserved.

Even without his two eyes, the speed of his teleportation technique was incredibly fast.

"You recognize my face..."

Shisui smiled and said, "That means you're not an ordinary person, you must be a ninja with good information, right?"

Hearing Shisui's question, Konan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, which meant that he didn't know her purpose.

For a moment, she thought that before she had even taken action, the Whitebeard Pirates already knew what she wanted to do.

Konan spoke in a somewhat cold tone, "I want to meet the captain of your Whitebeard Pirates, Edward Newgate!"

Shisui was a bit surprised, "You want to see Pops? Are you from Kumogakure Village?" 

Konan shook her head, "No."

The next moment, she said something shocking, "I'm from 'Akatsuki'."

Shisui: "!!!"

Konan's self-introduction indeed shocked Shisui.

He didn't expect that the "passerby" he casually stopped was actually from the Akatsuki!

Click!

Shisui's thumb pressed against the hilt of his sword, and the blade of the sword had already left the sheath by an inch.

Because for the Whitebeard Pirates, the Akatsuki is their enemy!

"Uchiha Obito" from the Akatsuki not only provoked Pops multiple times, wanted to kill Kakashi, but was also one of the culprits behind the Uchiha massacre.

Moreover, this person is very likely Naruto's enemy, who killed his parents.

Naturally, "parents" refers to Naruto's biological parents, not Whitebeard.

And "Uchiha Itachi", who almost killed the entire Uchiha clan, also joined the Akatsuki.

How could the Whitebeard Pirates not regard the Akatsuki as an enemy?

"Please don't misunderstand... I'm not here to cause trouble."

Konan glanced at the sword in Shisui's hand and explained, "If I were here to cause trouble, I wouldn't appear in front of you so openly."

Shisui sorted out his fluctuating emotions and said frankly, "Maybe this is your deliberate attempt to make us relax our guard?"

Konan calmly said, "If you don't trust me, you can put your sword on my neck and escort me. That should put you at ease, right?"

Click!

The blade of the sword, which was an inch out of the sheath, returned to the sheath, and Shisui said, "No need, in front of Pops, even if you have any schemes, you won't be able to stir up any waves."

He walked side by side with Konan, and the two of them headed towards Moby Dick.

Although Shisui didn't have his eyes, his Observation Haki had been locked onto Konan.

Once this woman from the Akatsuki made any move, he would not hesitate to act.

In the dictionary of ninjas, there is no distinction between men and women.

Even though Shisui is no longer a ninja now, he still adheres to this principle.

He wouldn't show mercy to women. If they threatened the Whitebeard Pirates, he wouldn't mind sending them to the underworld.

"Huh? Brother Shisui, who is this lady?"

Uchiha Izumi was the first to see Shisui and Konan, and she asked curiously.

Shisui stopped in his tracks and responded, "She claims to be from the Akatsuki, and she wants to see Pops."

"Akatsuki?!" Uchiha Izumi's eyes widened, and her Three Tomoe Sharingan instinctively activated.

But thinking that Brother Shisui was here, there seemed to be no need to overreact.

Izumi frowned, "An Akatsuki member, coming to us voluntarily? There wouldn't be any of her companions nearby, would there?"

"In Kumogakure Village, I am alone." Konan replied, "You may not believe it, but that's the truth."

"What a rare guest! An Akatsuki member... tsk tsk, why don't I see you wearing that black robe with red clouds?"

Kisame somehow walked behind Uchiha Izumi.

He was carrying the large sword Samehada, his gaze freely sizing up Konan in front of him.

Konan explained, "That's because the clothes are too conspicuous. If I appeared in Kumogakure Village wearing those clothes, I would have a conflict with the ninjas of Kumogakure Village before I even saw you, the Whitebeard Pirates."

Behind Konan, Kakashi also appeared, blocking her retreat.

Kakashi's attention seemed to be all on the small book in his hand, but he said, "You guys really don't give up, do you? How many days have passed? We meet again."

Naruto, Sasuke, Karin, and others, seeing this, also curiously walked over.

When they learned of Konan's identity from Kakashi and the others, their eyes all widened.

A living Akatsuki member just appeared in front of them like this.

The other party even appeared openly, could it be that the people of the Whitebeard Pirates who had repeatedly hit the Akatsuki hard, hadn't hurt them enough?

The pirates were all looking at Konan.

Konan was also looking at them.

'Hoshigaki Kisame, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki clan...' Konan squinted her eyes, this was really a luxurious lineup.

Even without Whitebeard, just this group of people together, placed in the ninja world, was a very powerful team.

She found that most of the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates were from Konohagakure Village.

It seemed that Konohagakure Village had been poached by Whitebeard a lot.

When Konan first infiltrated Konohagakure, she didn't go to the Whitebeard Pirates' temporary base to find out what was going on.

Because it was too dangerous there, if she went, she might not be able to come back.

And this time she came here alone, finally seeing the complete Whitebeard Pirates.

On the other side.

Yesterday, Tsunade, who had a hangover from attending Kimimaro's welcome party for joining the Whitebeard Pirates, wanted to get some fresh air on the deck after getting up, and found that something seemed to have happened.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Tsunade, with a heart full of gossip and curiosity, couldn't help but squeeze in.

Tsunade's gaze immediately fell on Konan's face.

Coincidentally, Konan's gaze also met hers.

At the same time, both Tsunade and Konan were stunned.

Tsunade touched her chin, her gaze becoming extremely suspicious, she muttered, "Why do I feel like you look familiar, have I seen you somewhere before?"

"Really?"

This led to Konan suppressing the shock that surged in her heart, she forcefully calmed herself and said, "But in my memory, Tsunade-hime of the Sannin of Konohagakure, was the first I saw with my own eyes. Before, I had only seen your photos and portraits in some intelligence reports."

Konan's tone was very calm, but the waves in her heart were tumultuous.

How could Tsunade be in the Whitebeard Pirates?

Looking at Kisame and their reactions, they didn't seem to be shocked by Tsunade's presence.

That means Tsunade has been with the Whitebeard Pirates for a long time.

Could it be that Tsunade, one of the Sannin, also joined the Whitebeard Pirates and became a member of the Whitebeard Pirates?

If such a prominent figure joins the pirate crew, does that mean the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates has risen another level?

What kind of man is Whitebeard?

He actually made Tsunade, the princess of Konohagakure, become a pirate?

Konan found it incredible.

The key is, in fact, she had seen Tsunade with her own eyes, but that was when she was very young, it was when she was in Amegakure_Village.

If Tsunade recognizes her...

That would be troublesome.

"Hehe, it seems like I've seen a somewhat familiar face!" The voice from Orochimaru made Konan's pupils contract.
