When Roshi woke up again, he found that he had not been captured by the Whitebeard Pirates.
He was lying in a very embarrassing posture in the wilderness.
He felt unbearable pain all over his body.
He also faintly smelled a scent of disinfectant on his body, which made him stunned.
He struggled to get up and leaned against a rock behind him.
Looking down, he could see that his whole body was wrapped in bandages.
That is to say... during the time he was unconscious, someone had simply treated his wounds.
To prevent him from dying in the wilderness.
But who did this, was it the Whitebeard Pirates?
When this doubt flashed through his mind, Roshi suddenly widened his eyes: "Right! The Whitebeard Pirates!"
He quickly looked around and found that the exaggerated big ship had disappeared.
For a moment, he doubted whether everything he had experienced was an illusion?
But the surrounding scene told him that it was not an illusion.
Because the mess all around showed that there had been a big battle here.
The air was still filled with a faint smell of sulfur.
For Roshi, who possesses Lava Release, this smell is not unfamiliar.
Because whenever he uses Lava Release, this smell will permeate the surroundings, this is the unique smell of lava.
"I didn't expect... I couldn't even take one move from Whitebeard, that man is outrageously strong!"
Roshi had a bitter smile on his face.
He had naively thought that he had caught Whitebeard's flaw, but who would have thought that it was not a flaw at all.
"Do they want to catch me not to hunt the Tailed Beasts? Why are they gone? They even threw me here, don't they want the Tailed Beasts?"
One after another, doubts flashed through Roshi's mind, and he couldn't help but seek answers from the Four-Tails inside his body: "Four-Tails, what happened during the time I was unconscious?"
But to his surprise, the Four-Tails inside his body did not answer his question, and the surrounding air was silent.
At this moment, Roshi had a vague sense of something wrong: "Four-Tails? Can you hear me?"
Roshi was shocked, he hurriedly tried to enter the Tailed Beast's sealing space with his consciousness.
But the next second he found... there was no such thing as a sealing space in his body!
Roshi's eyes were wide open: "Damn, the sealing space is gone, the Four-Tails is gone!"
He finally understood why the Whitebeard Pirates would leave him here.
It turns out that his Bijuu has been completely squeezed out by the Whitebeard Pirates!
Before they left him here, they even gave him some simple treatment, perhaps this was the last kindness of these pirates!
"But... but when the Tailed Beast is stripped from the Jinchuriki, doesn't the Jinchuriki die? Why am I still alive?"
Roshi was very confused. He felt that his experiences over the past two days were very surreal.
This means that he is no longer the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.
The Four-Tails, Son Goku, inside him, already has a new Jinchuriki.
"Is this my fate..." Roshi struggled to get up with a bitter smile: "Perhaps, it's good that I'm still alive..."
Having hovered on the line of life and death, even someone as stubborn as him felt a bit lost.
...
Meanwhile, on the Moby Dick.
Just as Roshi had guessed, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki had been replaced by someone else yesterday.
During the process of transferring the Tailed Beast, Roshi was always unconscious, so he didn't know what happened from beginning to end.
He didn't even know who the new Jinchuriki was.
"The Four-Tails, Son Goku, is best at 'super strength', 'Lava Release', 'Earth Release', and the 'Tailed Beast Bomb' that all Tailed Beasts can use."
Matatabi said to Sasuke: "So, choosing someone from the Uchiha clan as the Four-Tails Jinchuriki is the right choice."
A very mini Two-Tails, Matatabi, was lying on Sasuke's shoulder, its two tails gently swaying, it looked at Shisui in front: "This young man can activate the Uchiha clan's Susano'o, which means he once had a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan."
"An Uchiha who can awaken the Mangekyou, means his talent is not low, he is very suitable to be a Jinchuriki. The Uchiha clan's Fire Release and Lava Release are both mainly high-temperature damage, they are actually quite compatible."
Sasuke nodded thoughtfully, looking like he understood.
Naruto, who was standing next to Sasuke, curiously looked at the mini version of the Two-Tails, and couldn't help but say to the Nine-Tails inside him: "Big fox, can you appear like this too?"
Kurama rolled his eyes: "You little brat, just peel off the seal sticker."
The tone of the Nine-Tails was a bit tempting.
Naruto immediately lost interest: "Forget it, I'm afraid you'll come out and make a mess secretly, you don't look very honest."
Kurama gritted his teeth in anger: "Stinky brat, who are you looking down on!"
The girl standing on Sasuke's right side was excited: "Will our Whitebeard Pirates soon have nine Jinchuriki?"
Naruto grinned: "Of course! Me, Sasuke, Uncle Kakashi, you, Shisui, we already have five Jinchuriki now. Add four more, and we'll be completely gathered!"
Yes, the new Jinchuriki in the Whitebeard Pirates is indeed Uchiha Shisui!
This was also a Jinchuriki candidate decided after a period of discussion within the pirate group.
because Shisui lost both of his Mangekyou Sharingan, his strength was greatly reduced, from Kage-level strength to only elite Jonin level.
Even with the aid of Observation Haki, even if he has faintly touched the threshold of Armament Haki, it is not so easy to step into the Kage-level again.
Just right... now there is a Tailed Beast that is very suitable for Shisui, that is the Four-Tails, Son Goku!
There is no conflict between the Uchiha clan's Fire Release and the Four-Tails' Lava Release.
The massive chakra of the Four-Tails can also make up for the lack of Shisui's chakra, allowing Shisui to open Susano'o without considering the consumption.
Once Shisui can control the Four-Tails, Son Goku, inside him, it means that he, Uchiha Shisui, will once again step into the Kage-level threshold.
Even among the Kage-level, he is not a weak existence.
"Big brother Shisui, how do you feel?" Uchiha Izumi curiously looked up and down at Shisui: "Is there anything different after becoming a Jinchuuriki??"
Shisui silently felt his own body, he shook his head: "Except for an extra Tailed Beast sealing space inside my body, there's no other change."
"But... that's not right." Shisui suddenly felt something, he said: "My Observation Haki seems to have been amplified."
Shisui speculated: "This might be the unique malicious perception of the Tailed Beast and the Jinchuriki, integrated with my Observation Haki, ultimately enhancing the level of my Observation Haki?"
"..."
At this moment, the Moby Dick is sailing in a certain direction.
That direction is where Iwagakure Village is located!
...
Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away, in Iwagakure Village.
"Tsuchikage-sama, according to our Anbu's analysis some time ago, the Whitebeard Pirates were clearly going to approach Iwagakure Village today. But for some reason, there's no trace of them near Iwagakure Village, it's as if they're not coming for us."
An Anbu ninja from Iwagakure Village was reporting some situations they had grasped to the Third Tsuchikage, Oonoki.
"We were secretly watching the people of the Whitebeard Pirates, it seems that the Whitebeard Pirates discovered us, he has not sent back any news."
The Anbu ninja paused, and continued: "There's a high probability that it's bad news."
Oonoki, who was short and even less than 1.4 meters tall, was sitting on a high chair.
With a frown on his old face, Oonoki said in a deep voice: "So we've lost the trace of the pirate group?"
"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama." The Anbu ninja responded.
Oonoki slowly took a deep breath.
He was trying to think... if the Whitebeard Pirates didn't come straight for their Iwagakure Village, where did they go some time ago?
Just then, a light flashed through Oonoki's mind.
He suddenly stood up directly from the chair.
But due to his height disadvantage, he could only stand on the seat.
"Roshi!"
Oonoki gritted his teeth: "Damn it! The Tailed Beast Jinchuriki that the Whitebeard Pirates targeted was not 'Han', but Roshi!!!"
As everyone knows, Iwagakure Village has two Jinchuriki, but one of the Jinchuriki has already left the village.
Even Oonoki didn't know where Roshi had gone.
Under such circumstances, would the Whitebeard Pirates know Roshi's specific location?
Although the probability is low, it does not mean that the probability is completely zero.
Plus the Whitebeard Pirates have been missing for some time, there's a high probability they really went to catch Roshi.
"Bastard!"
Oonoki was in a bad mood: "Roshi is alone, he can't possibly be a match for the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Oonoki has never underestimated the Whitebeard Pirates.
Otherwise, he wouldn't want to resist the upcoming Whitebeard Pirates with the power of the whole village.
If Roshi also falls into the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates, then the Whitebeard Pirates will gain the power of another Tailed Beast.
In this way, the balance of victory... will tilt towards the Whitebeard Pirates.
Oonoki tries hard to put aside the not-so-good thoughts in his mind.
"Phew..." He let out a heavy sigh, asking the Anbu ninja in front of him: "Have all the traps around the entire village been set up?"
The Anbu ninja bowed his head and answered: "Tsuchikage-sama, ninety-five percent have been set up, and the remaining five percent is estimated to be completed today."
"Good!" Oonoki said: "Let's see if we can fight the Whitebeard Pirates with the geographical advantage of Iwagakure Village."
Iwagakure Village indeed has a strong geographical advantage because it is located in a group of rugged mountains, which makes the geographical location of Iwagakure Village a bit isolated from the world.
For the Whitebeard Pirates' huge ship to charge directly into Iwagakure Village, even if the ship can sail on land, it is not an easy task.
And Iwagakure Village, have set up one deadly trap after another in the various rugged terrains nearby.
Oonoki believes that these traps may not be enough to annihilate the entire Whitebeard Pirates.
But if it can reduce a large number of combat personnel for the other side...
Oonoki is still confident.
The battle experience in Oonoki's mind all comes from the battle experience in the ninja world. In the past several ninja wars, geographical advantage basically dominated a war.
Oonoki's worst plan is also - even if it is impossible to annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates, it can also block the other side and cause heavy damage to the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Order the civilians in the village to move to the refuge on the back mountain."
Oonoki said solemnly: "All other people, including Jonin, Genin, Chunin... all ninjas, all organize to confront the imminent crisis!"
The total number of ninjas in Iwagakure Village is much more than that of Kumogakure Village, not to mention that Oonoki has called up all the Genin.
The entire Iwagakure Village actually assembled a total of twelve thousand ninjas!
This also shows that the loss of the Third Ninja War, after a few years of recuperation, Iwagakure Village has recovered most of it.
The atmosphere of the entire village has become very depressed.
Everyone can feel a layer of war clouds...
Enveloping the entire village!
...
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.
The continuous masochistic special training of Whitebeard's sons and daughters has yielded very good results.
Among them, Shisui has learned Armament Haki, although it is just a beginner's level, it is enough to take his strength to the next level.
With his Observation Haki, Shisui now has dual-color Haki.
Kakashi and Kisame have successively learned Observation Haki.
The interval between the two is no more than one day.
Sasuke has learned Rokushiki "Soru", Naruto has learned Rokushiki "Soru", "Rankyaku".
Hinata's Taijutsu has improved very quickly, she can now draw with Neji, this rate of progress makes Neji dumbfounded.
Could it be that Miss Hinata's talent is so high after she is full?
With the blessing of Kagura's mind's eye, Karin's Observation Haki level has surpassed Naruto.
Uchiha Izumi is special.
Other crew members all learn Observation Haki first, then learn Armament Haki. The first thing she learned was actually Armament Haki.
Ino, Haku, Neji, Kimimaro, Fuushi, and others have also made significant progress.
It's as if the "new Whitebeard Pirates" have taken another step up.
On this day, the Whitebeard Pirates all stopped their special training.
Because according to the route on the map, they are very close to Iwagakure Village.
"Kid, Iwagakure Village is not weak! Their comprehensive strength is even above Kumogakure Village, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure Village was killed after fighting 10.000 Iwagakure Ninjas."
Tsunade, with her legs crossed, casually said to Naruto: "If you're willing to lend me some money, I wouldn't mind helping you guys out next."
Tsunade has been itching to gamble lately.
But she's a bit short on cash, so she needs to think of a way to make some money.
So, Tsunade set her sights on the small treasury of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Robbing is impossible, she doesn't have the ability to rob.
"Hehe, why not add me in, I'm very interested in a secret technique of Iwagakure Village. Don't worry, I won't run away."
Orochimaru chimed in.
