Whitebeard in Naruto World - Chapter 54
“What the heck! This country is so run-down, it can’t compare to the Land of Fire at all!”
Naruto looked towards the distant town in the Land of Grass.
He scratched his head and asked, “Dad, is there even any point in robbing a place like this?”
It was more of a village than a town.
Even more backward than the villages in the Land of Fire.
All he could see were dilapidated wooden houses.
The buildings lacked any vibrant colors.
It gave off a lifeless feeling.
“Don’t compare a great nation to a small one! Can a small nation compare to a great one?” Kakashi said helplessly, “And can you stop thinking about robbing every town you see?”
Kakashi felt that Naruto was being led astray by Whitebeard.
Who raises a child to become a pirate?
At this moment.
Whitebeard and his group entered a desolate town in the Land of Grass and scared the townspeople out of their wits.
A terrifyingly large giant and a ninja wearing a Konoha headband.
They were definitely not to be trifled with.
As for Naruto…
He was ignored.
After all, this wasn’t Konoha, and no one cared about a blond kid.
Soon.
Whitebeard and the others arrived at a run-down tavern.
Under the frightened gaze of the tavern owner, Whitebeard grinned and said, “Bring out all your finest liquor and meat. My idiot son is growing and needs a lot of meat every day!”
“Al-alright…” The tavern owner was so scared his legs turned to jelly. He practically slid along the wall to the kitchen.
This scene.
Made Kakashi’s mouth twitch.
But he had to admit, sometimes, looking scary was useful. There was no need for too many words or polite requests; people would comply out of fear.
People are afraid of dying.
…
While Whitebeard and his group were enjoying themselves.
In the Hidden Grass Village of the Land of Grass.
“Haha! Lord Daimyo, everything is negotiable.” The leader of the Hidden Grass Village accepted a money box from the Daimyo of the Land of Grass, squinting and smiling, “We ninjas will handle it, Lord Daimyo need not worry.”
“Hmph, I hope so!” The Daimyo of the Land of Grass was a man.
He was so fat he looked like he was wearing multiple swimming rings.
Dressed in luxurious attire, holding a round fan.
The Daimyo glanced at the leader of the Hidden Grass Village: “I have a deadline. Within a month, I must have his head. And it must be perfectly intact.”
“If the head is not intact, I can’t use it as an exhibit. If that happens, I won’t pay the remaining money.”
The dignified Daimyo spoke calmly.
Saying something chilling.
“No problem! Please trust us.”
The leader of the Hidden Grass Village smiled.
Bang—
Suddenly.
The office door was rudely pushed open, and a panicked Grass Village ninja rushed in, startling the Daimyo of the Land of Grass.
But seeing it was a ninja.
The Daimyo sighed in relief.
He frowned and scolded, “You ninjas have no manners, don’t you know how to knock?”
“It’s my fault for poor supervision.” The leader of the Hidden Grass Village apologized.
He glared at the intruding ninja and scolded, “Why are you panicking? What kind of conduct is this?”
“Leader, there’s a situation!”
The Grass Village ninja said timidly.
He recounted everything he had seen, leaving the leader of the Hidden Grass Village stunned, his frown deepening.
“Konoha’s Kakashi? And a giant?” The leader of the Hidden Grass Village sensed trouble: “Why would Konoha’s ninja come to the Land of Grass?”
He had received no diplomatic visit notice from Konoha.
Which meant.
Konoha’s ninja had sneaked into the Land of Grass!
Moreover… one of them was the famous Kakashi.
A Konoha Jonin with a bounty of 30 million ryo in the underworld!
“Oh? A giant?”
The Daimyo of the Land of Grass didn’t know who Kakashi was, but he was very interested in the “giant” mentioned by the ninja.
His face quivered with excitement, smiling: “Is he a giant with some disease?!”
“A—a giant over six meters tall!”
The ninja quickly answered.
“Over six meters tall?” The Daimyo was shocked, his interest growing, “A head that big must be bigger than ten people’s heads! Making a specimen out of such a large head would definitely shock a lot of people, right?”
He licked his lips, showing no respect for life.
Only a desire to treat life as a plaything.
“I’ll assign you another ninja mission!”
The Daimyo looked at the leader of the Hidden Grass Village and said, “I’ll give you 5 million ryo. I want that giant’s head perfectly intact.”
“Lord Daimyo, the giant is with Konoha’s Kakashi, a man with a 30 million ryo bounty.”
The leader of the Hidden Grass Village squinted: “5 million ryo is a bit low for us to take such a risk.”
“10 million ryo!”
The Daimyo fanned himself, smiling: “I have plenty of money. If you succeed, I’ll give the Hidden Grass Village 10 million ryo, and an additional 5 million ryo just for you.”
“As for that Kakashi, I won’t touch his 30 million ryo bounty.”
“Oh, right.”
The Daimyo continued: “Next year, we select a new leader for the Hidden Grass Village. I think you’re very suitable for a second term as the leader. What do you think?”
The leader of the Hidden Grass Village stood up immediately: “Lord Daimyo, I also think I’m very suitable for a second term as the leader of the Hidden Grass Village!”
His smile was exceptionally bright.
“Even if it takes all our strength, the Hidden Grass Village will bring you that Konoha giant’s head, Lord Daimyo!”
He promised.
After seeing the Daimyo of the Land of Grass off, the leader of the Hidden Grass Village’s smile gradually faded.
He looked at the ninja who had intruded into the office.
“You didn’t hear anything, understand?” The leader of the Hidden Grass Village said expressionlessly.
“Understood… understo—”
Thud—
A sharp kunai suddenly pierced through the ninja’s throat.
The leader of the Hidden Grass Village remained calm: “I suddenly think that only dead men tell no tales.”
Ignoring the body on the ground.
The leader of the Hidden Grass Village caressed the money box from the Daimyo, murmuring, “The Copy Ninja who has replicated over a thousand jutsus, Kakashi, who also possesses the legendary Sharingan.”
In fact.
Upon learning that Kakashi had appeared in the Land of Grass.
The leader of the Hidden Grass Village could hardly contain himself.
As a small country caught between great powers, the Hidden Grass Village was the most shameless, stealing jutsus from other villages without limits.
To steal jutsus, they would even assassinate foreign ninja and extract information from their corpses.
Thus obtaining foreign jutsus!
The Hidden Grass Village would target Ninjas who happened to pass through the Land of Grasse and add them to an assassination list.
And become assassination targets!
