Chapter 72: Whitebeard with a Bounty of Over a 100 Million!
"Who would have thought that at the critical time when we were planning to avenge Yahiko and preparing to kill Hanzo, such a powerful figure would appear in the neighboring country of Land of Rain."
In one of the temporary bases of the Akatsuki organization.
Wearing a black cloak embroidered with red clouds, with light blue-purple hair tied up in a bun, and a pretty face, Konan is definitely the most dazzling flower in the Akatsuki organization.
She pushed a wheelchair to a place where the sun could shine, looking forward to an undeveloped dense forest in front of her.
A man was sitting in the wheelchair.
Compared to Konan, he could only be said to have a nose and a face, and he looked like a human being.
"Whitebeard." Konan said: "I have never heard of this name. This should not be a person's name. It sounds... more like a nickname."
"Nagato, do you think...he will affect our actions?" Konan inquired.
"No." Nagato, sitting in the wheelchair, shook his head: "I don't know why, maybe it's an intuition!"
"But being able to destroy a ninja village with one's own power and not being afraid of becoming the target of all country in the ninja world, killing the daimyo of a country, this person is indeed very remarkable."
Nagato looked up at the bright sunshine.
In this place called Amegakure Village...
There may be only less than ten days in 365 days a year that can have such weather.
"I want to recruit him into Akatsuki! He's an exceptionally powerful individual. If he becomes one of us, the strength of our Akatsuki will undoubtedly reach new heights."
Nagato finished speaking and then asked: "Who do you think should be sent to contact this Whitebeard?"
Konan thought for a while.
"Orochimaru joined Akatsuki but hasn't accomplished much. When given tasks, he performs them half-heartedly, and this has happened multiple times."
She said: "Akatsuki is not his shelter. This time let Orochimaru and Sasori go together!"
Nagato nodded.
Agreed.
"It's indeed time for him to move."
...
"The Whitebeard Pirates have destroyed the Land of Grass. Will such an ambitious pirate group attack our Takigakure Village?" A ninja from the Waterfall Country worriedly said.
"Leader, although no village has attacked us for decades, we must guard against the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Pirates, they sound like thieves! They won't care about justice, they will only loot and kill!
The leader of the Takigakure Village sat in a chair.
His hands were crossed, his elbows were on the desk, and he said: "If a mere pirate group dares to invade the Waterfall Country, let them come and never return!"
"There is no need to worry too much."
The leader of the Waterfall Village continued: "I believe that our Takigakure Village is second only to the Amegakure."
"Don't forget, we have Jinchuriki! The power of Tailed Beasts is unmatched in the entire ninja world!"
As a village leader, his words also calmed the people in the Takigakure Village.
He was right.
Although the Takigakure Village is a small village, it has never experienced war in decades. It must have accumulated very strong power, which is not comparable to the Land of Grass.
In addition, they also have the power of Tailed Beasts.
In this way.
They are even more confident.
...
"Absurd! How can anyone dare to kill a Daimyo? The Whitebeard Pirates, only such thieves can do such rebellious things, right?"
Land of Earth
Iwagakure Village
The information of Rock Village is two days behind Konohagakure Village, Amegakure Village, and Takigakure Village.
After all, although this village is very defensive, it is also very difficult to communicate with the outside world.
And Onoki's stubborn character represents his extreme disagreement with Whitebeard's approach.
There are few unwritten rules in the ninja world.
One of them is - never kill nobles and Daimyo.
Ninjas who dare to break this unwritten rule will basically be regarded as heretics among ninjas.
It will also be wanted by the entire ninja world.
Become a wanted criminal.
Throwing away the information file in his hand, Onoki snorted coldly: "If this so-called Whitebeard Pirate Group dares to appear in the Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village will destroy it!"
"But..."
Onoki's cunning eyes flickered, "The Land of Grass has lost the Kusagakure Village and the Land of Grass's Daimyo, which means that the entire country is in a state of leaderless chaos."
He was tempted.
In his life, Onoki had always considered the interests of the village every day.
But soon, he shook his head again.
Land of Grass
It's too poor!
Even if the Iwagakure Village didn't take action against the nobles of the Land of Grass, there was no way to squeeze any resources out of such a poor country.
But obviously, Onoki would not take action against the nobles.
In addition, the Kusagakure Village in the Land of Grass had probably been looted by the Whitebeard Pirates.
If they made a big fuss about it.
They probably wouldn't make a profit.
...
As the news of "Kusagakure Village being destroyed" and "Land of Grass's Daimyo being killed" continued to spread in the ninja world.
The nobles and daimyos of all major ninja countries immediately became restless.
The first to become restless were naturally the nobles of the Land of Grass.
They could never have imagined... that their country's Daimyo had become a corpse cut in two overnight.
The nobles of the Land of Grass were furious and terrified. The strong sense of crisis made them restless day and night.
Before this.
Almost no ninja dared to mess with them, nobles or daimyos. The life-and-death struggles between ninjas had nothing to do with them, these nobles.
But now.
The appearance of the Whitebeard Pirates broke this unwritten rule, making all the nobles in the Land of Grass worry about their safety.
After several days and nights of intense discussion.
They finally came to a conclusion.
-- They must kill the person who broke this hidden rule! So that that no other ninja attempts such actions.
The nobles of the Land of Grass began to contact other ninja countries' nobles.
The nobles of other ninja countries naturally feared people like Whitebeard.
Not a single noble, who initially held a high position
wants to turn into a dead meat.
So,
A bounty on Whitebeard circulated throughout the ninja world. This bounty was astonishingly a joint fund raised by many ninja countries' nobles and daimyos, and announced to all major ninja villages!
[Bounty Criminal: Edward Newgate]
[Nickname: Whitebeard, Country destroyer, Giant]
[Group: Whitebeard Pirate]
[Level: S-level Bounty Criminal]
[Bounty: 100 million Ryo]
[Requirement: Kill]
When such an astonishing bounty appeared on different ninja village missions, it was enough to shake the entire ninja world!
A whopping 100 million Ryo
A small ninja village's annual budget is probably just this number.
This also happens to show
how afraid of death those nobles and daimyos in the ninja world are.
