Chapter 41: A Mere 50 Million Ryo Bounty, Is Konoha Looking Down on me?

The imagined wildfire abruptly turned into a bonfire, surrounded by a circle of roasting wild boars and a burly giant.

 The scene before her eyes kept flipping.

 It made Shizune's brain freeze for a second.

 It also caused her body, which had jumped into mid-air, to fall down. By the time she reacted, she was less than four meters away from the bonfire below, and she was about to crash into a raging bonfire.

 Shizune was greatly alarmed.

 The piglet with its small hooves around her neck was even more frightened and pale. Especially the circle of roasted wild boars by the bonfire made it seem to see its own "fate" in the next second.

 Just as Shizune was thinking about what measures to take, she suddenly felt her falling trend abruptly stagnate.

 She could even feel her waist being clamped tightly like a vise.

 This....

 Did I get caught?

 "Where did this little ninja come from?"

 Whether it was a man or a woman, they all became little ninjas in Whitebeard's mouth.

 "Sorry, sorry!" Shizune, who was pinched at the waist by Whitebeard's two fingers, quickly apologized: "I thought this fire was a wildfire in the forest, so I wanted to come over and put it out."

 "I, I didn't know this was a bonfire you raised, Mr. Giant, let alone that you were roasting meat here..."

 Huh?

 "Wait! 

 Shizune's reaction was delayed as she made a concerted effort to turn her gaze towards her own body.

 She saw a giant with a crescent beard.

 "You you you..." Shizune's memory was suddenly triggered, and her face was full of shock: "Are you Whitebeard?"

 A few days ago, because Tsunade lost a lot of money in the casino.

 Unwilling to admit defeat, she asked her disciple Shizune to go back to Konoha to get money.

 She has no choice

 Shizune had to rush back to Konoha.

 When she returned to Konoha, she found out that so many big things had happened in Konoha during the previous period.

 And she also saw the bounty on Whitebeard.

 It was a bounty that only belonged to the internal part of Konoha. Lower-level ninjas in Konoha didn't even have the authority to know about this bounty.

 Only because Shizune is Tsunade's direct disciple, otherwise she wouldn't have the authority to know about Whitebeard's bounty.

 Shizune sighed at that time - even the Hokage is not an opponent of this giant!

 She thought she would not encounter such a dangerous person.

 After all, she has no intersection with giants.

 But who would have thought that on her way back to find Tsunade, she ran into this giant!

 Whitebeard who defeated the Third Hokage!

 This this this...

 How could it be such a coincidence?

 "Gurararara!"

 Whitebeard pinched Shizune and turned his wrist to twist her over.

 The eyes of both sides met in mid-air.

 Whitebeard tutted: "You unknown little ninja, since you recognize me, then you must have seen me in Konoha Village!"

 "No, no... ah, ah no, it's not like that." Shizune realized that her speech was a bit contradictory.

 She hurriedly explained: "I saw your photo in the internal bounty order of Konoha."

 The technology of the ninja world is very crooked.

 It usually looks like there is no technology tree, but in fact, things like computers and cameras are available.

 Whitebeard didn't take any special photos in Konoha Village. It must have been the Anbu ninja who secretly took his photos.

 But Whitebeard is obviously more interested in bounties.

 "Oh? Bounty?"

 Whitebeard casually threw Shizune down.

 Shizune was caught off guard and almost fell into a dog-eating shit posture.

Fortunately, she was also a formidable ninja.

 She quickly steadied herself.

 And landed firmly on the ground.

 Whitebeard, sitting cross-legged on the ground, said with interest, "Gurararara! I didn't expect to be wanted by the navy on the sea and by the Konohagakure Village in the ninja world. Today, I am a pirate with two bounties on my head, Gurararara!"

 "Ninja brat!" Whitebeard teased, "So you came after me for my bounty? But after I discovered you, you started making lame excuses?"

 "Ah? You, you misunderstood!" Shizune was startled.

 How dare she take on such an S-level bounty?

 She hurriedly explained, "I was just passing by. I didn't intend to take your bounty!"

 Whitebeard could feel it.

 Shizune was not lying.

 "Tell me, How much bounty did the Konoha Village offer for me?" Whitebeard knew that the ninja world did not use "Belly" but"Ryo" banknotes.

 "50 million Ryo bounty." Shizune weakly uttered a number she thought was extremely exaggerated.

 You know.

 The amount of money Lady Tsunade lost at the casino last year was just this much. She thought that a bounty comparable to Lady Tsunade's losses was an absurdly exaggerated amount.

 "50 million Ryo?" Kakashi, who was resting under a tree, opened one dead fish eye, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

 Kakashi remembered very clearly that Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the Third Hokage, had a bounty of only 35 million Ryo.

 That's 15 million Ryo higher than the son of the Hokage...

 And this is his first bounty!

 Kakashi was quite surprised: "Those higher-ups are really willing to spend money. 50 million Ryo is not a small number."

 His voice attracted Shizune's attention.

 White hedgehog hair + black mask + forehead protector covering eyes.

 Those three characteristics.

 Too obvious. 

 "You, you are?" Shizune was stunned. Even though she spent most of her time with Lady Tsunade and rarely returned to Konoha Village, she knew some of the influential figures in Konoha Village.

 "You are Copy Ninja Hatake Kakashi?" She exclaimed in shock.

 "50 million Ryo!" Naruto's voice started to babble: "How many ramen bowls can I eat at Ichiraku Ramen?"

 He started calculating with his fingers.

 The more he calculated, the more dizzy he became.

 Kakashi explained to this math idiot: "50 million Ryo can already buy Ichiraku Ramen Shop. The 'protection fee' that the nobleman of the previous town gave to Mr. Whitebeard was only worth 10 million Ryo."

 "So much!!" Naruto was dumbfounded.

 Speaking of specific numbers, five-year-old Naruto didn't have much concept. But if he could buy Ichiraku Ramen shop, he immediately realized that it was an astronomical number!

 Kakashi said: "Fortunately, this is an internal bounty from Konoha Village and has not been announced to the public. Otherwise, such a large bounty would attract many bounty hunters."

 Among those bounty hunters in the ninja world.

 It is said that there is a very powerful guy.

 At this time, Kakashi suddenly noticed that Whitebeard's expression had become somewhat wrong.

 The next moment.

 Only heard Whitebeard say something that made everyone except Naruto dumbfounded: "A mere 50 million Ryo bounty... Is your broken Konohagakure Village looking down on me? It's far behind compared to the Navy Headquarters' bounty!"

 As his words fell,

 Just a trace of Whitebeard's aura leaked out, and it already made Kakashi and Shizune feel tremendous pressure.

 50 million Ryo.

 It's so little.

 "I know this! I know this!" 

Naruto shouted: "Pops told me that he had a shocking bounty when he was at sea!!"

 "Uh..." Naruto scratched his head awkwardly: "But how much exactly, Pops seems to have not told me."

 "Gurararara!"

 Whitebeard laughed heartily. He even said something shocking: "Foolish son! The amount of bounty your pops once had from the navy was a whopping 5.046.000.000 Belly"

 Naruto didn't have a deep understanding of how huge this number was.

 But Kakashi and Shizune were stunned.

 How...

 How much?
