Whitebeard in Naruto World - Chapter 59
Fushi felt dazed as if she were dreaming. But the pain from her wounds reminded her this was not a dream.
She couldn’t believe that those who killed twenty Grass Ninja Anbu…
… wanted to stand up for a stranger like her.
It was unbelievable.
Especially that golden-haired boy named Uzumaki Naruto. How could he be such a sunny child? In such a situation, he stood up for a stranger.
He even wanted her to drink his blood to recover.
Of course.
Fushi politely declined Naruto’s offer.
She felt dizzy as she led the way for Whitebeard and the others. She didn’t know why she had suddenly become a rogue ninja.
Ever since Grass Village took in her and her daughter, she naturally became a ninja of Grass Village.
Now, as a ninja of Grass Village, she led a group of dangerous outsiders straight to the village…
Isn’t this the definition of a rogue ninja?
Perhaps it was for Karin…
Karin was too young.
She couldn’t let Karin stay in that den of monsters any longer, no matter what, even if it cost her life.
With this thought, Fushi’s resolve strengthened.
She forced herself to endure her physical weakness.
And continued leading the way.
Kakashi didn’t know what to say. His subconscious told him that running to another ninja village and trying to attack it would cause a serious diplomatic incident.
The most critical issue involved the Daimyo of the Land of Grass. What if Whitebeard wasn’t satisfied with attacking a ninja village and wanted to target a country’s Daimyo, too?
That would be disastrous!
But what could Kakashi do?
What could he do?
This was a decision made by Whitebeard and Naruto, a father-son duo, and it seemed he had no say in the matter.
“Go with the flow!”
Kakashi gave up trying to persuade or resist. After all, if a serious diplomatic incident occurred, the high-ranking officials in Konoha Village would have headaches, not him.
Two adults, a five-year-old child, and a rogue ninja from Grass Village against an entire ninja village sounded like suicide.
But Kakashi knew Whitebeard was a man who could even defeat the Third Hokage!
This man was extraordinary!
…
Late night.
Four in the morning.
“So many Anbu ninjas leaving the village tonight, I wonder what’s happening. Could it be another war is coming?”
The ninjas guarding the gate of Grass Village were much more shabby than Konoha.
Konoha’s gate guards were two elite Chunin.
But Grass Village’s gate guards were just two Genin.
One of the Grass Genin worriedly said, “The Great Ninja War just ended not long ago, surely there can’t be another war starting, right?”
“Pah!” The other Genin quickly said, “Can you not say such unlucky things in the middle of the night? Besides, even if a war is coming, so what?”
He sneered, “We are a ninja village after all, and more importantly, we have that mother-daughter duo!”
At this, the two Grass Village Genin exchanged glances and showed knowing bloodthirsty smiles.
“Hmm? Something’s moving!”
Suddenly, one of the Grass Genin’s pupils shrank. He suddenly heard a strange noise coming from not far away.
“Over there!!”
Looking towards the village’s outskirts, under the dim moonlight, they saw a large shadow approaching.
That large shadow seemed to be walking, and each step made a heavy thudding sound.
Each sound struck their hearts.
Making them break out in cold sweat.
“What is that? A giant bear?” They quickly turned on a spotlight, using the misplaced technology of the ninja world to shine a bright light in front of the village gate.
Instantly.
The area in front of them was illuminated.
“A g-giant!!!”
When the massive figure of Whitebeard appeared before them, they almost simultaneously let out an incredulous exclamation.
Whitebeard’s muscular chest and abdomen were exposed in their sight, and he wore a white cape on his back.
He held a massive naginata.
In the night…
The sense of oppression was overwhelming!
“Wait! There are others… more people!” One of the gatekeeping Genin, who had sharper eyes, said, “It’s that woman! The red-haired woman!!”
“Damn it!” He cursed, “That woman, could she have turned rogue?”
“Quick! Go report to the Chief!!!”
…
That night, the Chief of Grass Village was woken up from his sleep by a subordinate.
Upon waking, he was a bit grumpy and was about to scold the subordinate.
But he received shocking news instead.
——The “Giant” targeted by the Daimyo and “Kakashi Hatake,” were outside Grass Village!
They were brought by none other than Fushi!
The Chief’s pupils contracted.
“A giant, Kakashi Hatake, Fushi, and a golden-haired brat?” Such an odd combination made the Chief realize something big would happen tonight.
Because he knew…
Earlier that night, he had sent Anbu with Fushi as a blood bag tool to assassinate the giant and Kakashi Hatake.
But now, his subordinate told him that the only Grass Ninja outside the village was Fushi.
What did this mean?
The assassination mission likely failed!
Twenty Grass Anbu ninjas, none survived!
In the end.
Only Fushi, the tool, survived.
And…
This woman betrayed their village!
“Damn it!”
After figuring this out, the Chief’s face turned extremely grim.
He immediately commanded his subordinate, “Gather all the ninjas in the village right now! Also, inform the Daimyo who is staying here to quickly take his servants and hide in the back mountains of the village!”
“And go to Hozuki Castle!” The Chief continued, “Even though that man claims Hozuki Castle is neutral, he is originally from Grass Village. I don’t believe he would stand by if our village is attacked by outside ninjas!”
“And don’t forget to capture Fushi’s daughter! Don’t let that brat escape!”
“Yes, Chief!!”
The reporting Grass Ninja had never seen the Chief so nervous.
“Wait! Also, have the Intelligence Department send a radio message to Konoha, questioning why Konoha ninja Kakashi Hatake is near Grass Village.”
“Yes!!!”
The Chief thought shifting the blame first might force the enemy’s strong fighters to back off.
Soon.
The entire Grass Village started moving like a rusty machine. One by one, the ninjas were woken from their sleep.
Although many Grass Village ninjas found it absurd.
But the facts seemed to be right in front of them.
A “war”…
Seemed to be coming!
