Chapter 289: Whitebeard Pirates' "Uchiha Obito Hunting Operation"!

Today.

'A' received a very important piece of news from his Anbu members - the Whitebeard Pirates were about to leave Kumogakure Village. The Moby Dick, which was docked on the edge of Kumogakure Village, had already turned its bow.

Upon hearing this news, 'A' immediately became excited. Those pirates, who were very annoying in his eyes, were finally going to leave Kumogakure Village!

'A' felt that if Whitebeard and his crew stayed in Kumogakure Village for a few more days, he really wouldn't be able to hold back his temper and would start another fight with them.

After all, allowing a group of pirates to wreak havoc in the village, causing the entire village to be filled with pirate flags...

This was an unprecedented humiliation for him, the Fourth Raikage.

In the entire ninja world, perhaps only the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, of Konohagakure Village could tolerate such humiliation, right?

"Hmph!"

The Fourth Raikage had an unhappy expression on his face. With only one arm left, he snorted coldly: "After staying in Kumogakure Village for so long, these guys are finally willing to leave!"

"After they leave, take down all the pirate flags in the village!"

'A' issued such an order.

But as soon as he finished speaking, an elder of the Kumogakure Village higher-ups next to him changed his face and hurriedly advised: "Raikage-sama, please don't!"

'A' frowned, looked at the elder of the Kumogakure higher-ups, and asked with suppressed anger: "Why? Give me a reason!"

The elder of Kumogakure explained: "Raikage-sama! What if, the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly turn back halfway, especially that Whitebeard, what if he sees that the pirate flags are gone?"

"In that case, Whitebeard, a pirate who likes to act recklessly, will definitely make a big fuss in Kumogakure Village. There are many children and civilians in the village!"

The Fourth Raikage widened his eyes and raised his voice: "Are we just going to let those pirate flags flutter in the sky above the village? Is our Kumogakure Village still called Kumogakure Village?"

The elder of Kumogakure sighed and said: "Raikage-sama, sometimes you have to bow your head. If you don't, the village will be gone!"

Hearing this, A's anger was almost visible to the naked eye.

The chakra surging from his body caused several obvious cracks to appear on the floor under his feet.

While the Whitebeard Pirates were in Kumogakure Village, he, the Fourth Raikage, had to suppress his own personality and forcibly endure it.

Even after the Whitebeard Pirates left Kumogakure Village, he, the Fourth Raikage, still had to endure it.

Didn't that mean the Whitebeard Pirates got away scot-free?

How could he accept this?

'A' wished he could resign now. Whoever likes to be this damn Raikage, just go ahead and be it!

"Raikage-sama, don't forget that Whitebeard once said that Kumogakure Village is now one of the affiliated ninja villages of the Whitebeard Pirate Crew! Whether we are willing to accept this shameful title or not, in Whitebeard's eyes, our village... is their vassal."

The elder of Kumogakure said bitterly, "If Raikage-sama really can't bear it, shall we... take a more compromising approach?"

Is there a compromising approach?!

A's anger stagnated, and he asked in a deep voice, "What method? Speak!"

The elder of Kumogakure thought for a while and replied, "How about we take down most of the pirate flags in the village, and then leave the one on the Raikage building?"

The Fourth Raikage almost exploded with anger, he glared at the elder of Kumogakure, "Is this your so-called compromising method?!"

The elder of Kumogakure quietly said, "Raikage-sama, you should know that if it wasn't for your impulsiveness at the beginning, chasing after the Whitebeard Pirate Crew alone..."

"Enough!"

A held his breath and said, "Just do it your way!"

Because Kumogakure Village has ended up in such a situation, it indeed has a lot to do with him as the Raikage.

Even, his responsibility is the biggest.

...

On the other side, Moby Dick.

The news that the Fourth Raikage got was indeed accurate, the Whitebeard Pirate Crew was about to leave Kumogakure Village, their goal was not to find the next tailed beast, the pirate crew's goal was to find "Uchiha Obito"!

At this moment, Konan was observing the entire Whitebeard Pirate Crew on Moby Dick without any scruples, she was very openly "undercover".

Because she joined the Whitebeard Pirate Crew in a way of "trade".

Everyone in the entire pirate crew knew that her motives were not pure, so no one was willing to approach Konan.

Of course, for Konan, this was expected.

While wandering around the ship, Konan suddenly bumped into a "person" that she didn't expect.

Rather than saying that it was a person, it was more like a talking puppet, this puppet reminded her of someone.

"Are you... Sasori?!"

Konan's face was as cold as ever, but there was a bit of surprise in her eyes that she couldn't hide, she looked up and down at Sasori in front of her.

"I'm not, you got the wrong person!" Sasori coldly replied.

"Orochimaru told me that you were also captured by the pirate crew." Konan said, "You and him seem to be quite comfortable in the pirate crew."

"Tsk! Don't lump me together with that disgusting guy!" Sasori lowered his voice and gritted his teeth, "Once my new body is ready, I will escape from this place! At that time, I will make a new 'Anti-Whitebeard Puppet Type 2'!"

"As for you..." Sasori said, "Your behavior is considered as betraying the members of the organization, right! If your behavior is exposed, tsk, the entire Akatsuki organization will fall apart."

Konan shook her head, "What I'm doing is exactly for the sake of 'Akatsuki', Uchiha Madara's actions have seriously threatened 'Akatsuki', he must not stay."

"If one day I threaten you, will I also have to be killed by you?" Sasori squinted his eyes.

As a result, this crudely made puppet, along with his facial movements, his eyes popped out.

Sasori was so angry that he picked up his eyeballs while cursing.

And forcibly stuffed it back into the eye socket.

"If you threaten us, I won't kill you. But if you threaten the Akatsuki organization, I will indeed eliminate you." 

Konan said expressionlessly, "You need to distinguish the relationship between the two."

"Tsk, it's really like entering two dens of thieves!" Sasori complained a bit irritably.

These two dens of thieves refer to the Akatsuki organization and the Whitebeard Pirate Crew.

Konan, however, spoke calmly, "On the contrary, if you don't pose a threat to the Akatsuki, we will consider you a teammate we can trust with our lives."

She paused, then continued, "The 'will of the Akatsuki' we told you about when you joined us has not changed to this day."

"And what I'm doing now is carrying out that will. You just need to understand that."

Sasori looked deeply at Konan.

Then he ignored Konan.

The next moment, a childish shout rang out, it was Naruto's voice, "Whitebeard Pirates! Moby Dick! Set sail! Destination - Land of Rain!!!"

"Everyone hold on to something solid! Next, don't get thrown off! Hahaha!"

With Naruto's shout, Kisame grinned, "Water Release: Land Boat Technique!!!"

A large stream of water emerged from under the Moby Dick, lifting the entire ship.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Kakashi widened his eyes, "The bow is facing the cliff! You guys aren't thinking of going down from here, are you?"

Naruto grinned and laughed, "That's why I told everyone to hold on to something!"

"Gurararararaa!" Whitebeard laughed loudly, "As expected of my stupid son, you really know how to make a mess! In that case, let's just go straight down!"

Kakashi was stunned, "Pops, you're also going to join Naruto in this mess?"

Kumogakure Village is located at the top of a kilometer-high mountain, rushing down from here is a vertical drop of a kilometer!

Whitebeard, holding Murakumogiri, laughed loudly, "Gurara! Stupid son, never underestimate Moby Dick!"

"My old Moby Dick once fell from Sky Island and was unscathed!"

Konan watched the commotion and had a feeling that something big was about to happen.

Sure enough.

She noticed that the ship under her feet started to move, and its direction was straight towards the cliff!

Konan's cool expression couldn't help but change slightly, "What are they trying to do? Are they planning to rush down?"

It seemed to confirm her guess, Moby Dick really rushed towards the cliff without fear.

In just three breaths, the entire ship was completely suspended in the air.

At this moment, Konan's breath almost stopped.

These pirates were too crazy, weren't they?

What were they thinking?

Konan had almost no time to think, the entire ship began to fall.

Konan immediately used "Dance of the Shikigami", her body floated up like a piece of paper.

Her skin and flesh also turned into paper.

Then, she grabbed the railing next to her and followed Moby Dick down.

Konan counted twenty seconds in her heart.

Bang!!!

There was a crazy tremor from Moby Dick under her feet, the creaking sound from the planks, she didn't know if the ship was wailing or excited.

There were also shouts and screams from Moby Dick.

Followed by the excited shouts of a group of pirates.

"Hahahaha! We did it! Not a scratch!"

Naruto excitedly rushed to the bow, looked down, then looked up, "This splash is at least several hundred meters high! Hahaha!"

Kisame slowly stood up and laughed, "Ha, don't underestimate my Land Boat Technique, it can not only make Moby Dick sail on land, but it can also protect the hull of Moby Dick from being damaged by hard objects!"

Kakashi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and complained, "Before you two start messing around, can you give me a heads up so I can prepare?"

"Hahaha! Next time, definitely next time!" Naruto responded perfunctorily to Kakashi.

Konan's body returned to normal.

While she breathed a sigh of relief, she was also quietly observing Naruto, Kakashi, and others.

She found that the relationship between the members of the Whitebeard Pirate Crew was harmonious to an absurd degree.

The bond between them is not simply a bond between pirates, nor is it simply a bond between partners.

This bond is vastly different from their Akatsuki organization.

It is a bond of family and home!

Ironically, this bond, which seems naive and childish in the ninja world, exists in the Whitebeard Pirate Crew, and it is real, not fake.

Konan's face was somewhat complex.

She didn't know how to evaluate it.
