Whitebeard in Naruto World

Chapter 88: Negotiation



"Whitebeard, Kakashi, the jinchuriki..." Danzo hadn't expected Uchiha Shisui's escape route to lead here. He had run straight to Whitebeard.

After all, Uchiha Shisui's mission was to assassinate Whitebeard, wasn't it?

But because of Whitebeard's presence, Danzo didn't immediately move to kill Shisui and take his eye.

His expression was quite serious.

"This is the man who defeated the Monkey…"

Danzo knew Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength well.

Despite Sarutobi's age, he knew that no one in Konoha could defeat him.

Until Whitebeard appeared and shattered the title of the strongest Hokage.

This indicated that Whitebeard was an exceptionally powerful figure.

And most of the Root ninjas Danzo had brought along had been killed by Shisui, leaving only a handful.

"Damn it! This has become complicated."

Danzo's expression was grim.

He was weighing the pros and cons.

"Whitebeard! Hand over that Konoha missing-nin to me!" Danzo labeled Shisui as a missing nin and said to Whitebeard, "He mercilessly killed over twenty Root ninjas. He is already a missing-nin of Konoha! If you hand him over to me, I will pretend I didn't see you today."

Danzo decided to communicate with Whitebeard first, though his tone was very forceful and showed no weakness.

"Missing-nin?" Kakashi was stunned.

Shunshin no Shisui, when did he become a missing-nin of Konoha?

Why didn't he know about this?

"Gurararara!" Whitebeard's eyes flashed with amusement: "What? The ugly guy wants to negotiate with me?"

Damn it!!!

This guy!!!

Danzo's heart filled with anger. Whitebeard's blunt words made him want to tear him apart.

But…

The eyes were important!

"…Let's consider this a negotiation." Danzo suppressed his inner anger, speaking with a stern face: "You may not know who I am. I am Shimura Danzo, leader of Konoha's Root, a high-ranking leader of Konoha."

"If you hand over Uchiha Shisui to the Root, I will pretend I didn't see you or that 'demon fox' today."

Danzo didn't notice that when he mentioned the "demon fox," Naruto's expression visibly fell.

Whitebeard keenly noticed his son's lowered mood.

"Whitebeard, I know you took in this 'demon fox' as your adopted son and that you've formed a strong bond with him."

Danzo, fearing Shisui would wake up, half-negotiated, half-threatened: "If you and Root fight here, it will surely affect him, right? You don't want your adopted son to be harmed, do you? Whitebeard!"

"Hmm? Kakashi… why are you winking at me?" Danzo suddenly noticed Kakashi winking at him.

He snorted coldly: "As an Anbu ninja, you haven't brought the 'demon fox' back, and you let him leave the country multiple times."

"If you were a ninja of Root, you would have been punished long ago! I don't know why the Monkey values someone like you."

Kakashi: "…"

At that moment, Kakashi wanted to open Danzo's head to see how his brain worked.

Was that winking?

He was signaling!

Kakashi had been trying to use his eyes to warn Danzo not to step on Whitebeard's landmine.

Every word Danzo just said...

Made Kakashi's eyelids twitch.

Kakashi knew Whitebeard's personality had a unique boldness that most ninjas in the ninja world lacked. He was more like a hero than a pirate.

Threatening him might make him laugh it off.

He wouldn't take such threats seriously.

However, it was a different story if someone threatened Whitebeard's family!

Thinking of this.

Kakashi couldn't help but look up at Whitebeard. He saw that Whitebeard's smile had disappeared, but soon, Whitebeard showed another smile.

Kakashi noticed that Whitebeard's smile had no amusement or teasing nor any cheerfulness.

The strange atmosphere made Kakashi's hair stand on end.

Seeing this scene.

Kakashi realized…

Something was about to happen!

"Damn…"

Kakashi involuntarily took a few steps back, pulling Naruto and Karin along, and quickly told Kushina: "Please take this man away."

"Please?" Kushina was surprised.

It was the first time someone asked her for help without an order.

Instead, they requested it as a favor.

"Alright!"

She immediately lifted the unconscious Uchiha Shisui.

It was then that Kushina noticed one of his eyes was missing.

And he seemed to be poisoned.

...

"Gurararara…" Whitebeard's laugh was ambiguous. He looked down at Danzo with a cold gaze: "If Konoha's so-called 'Root' wants to negotiate with the Whitebeard Pirates, it will be done in a pirate's way."

A pirate's way of negotiation?

What is that?

Danzo frowned, but since both sides were willing to talk, he didn't want to fight such a powerful opponent.

With two Mangekyo Sharingan within reach.

Danzo didn't want any complications.

He couldn't help but smile.

Because he thought his firm stance made Whitebeard back down.

Whitebeard knew Danzo wasn't like the soft-hearted Monkey.

Monkey, oh, Monkey!

You couldn't handle Whitebeard, but he's nothing before me!

You are old!

"Fine!" Danzo pushed aside his stray thoughts and nodded: "In that case, let's negotiate in a pirate's way. So, you should hand over…"

Danzo didn't finish his sentence.

The Root ninjas beside him suddenly changed their expressions.

"Sir! Watch out!!!"

What? Danzo was suddenly shocked, his eyes widening.

Because he saw Whitebeard already wielding his enormous naginata, slashing fiercely towards him!

Wait!

What about the negotiation?

"Gurararara! Let's start the negotiation now! Ninjas!" Murakumogiri, now blackened by Haki, swung forward, with Whitebeard's Haoshoku Haki surging forward.

The remaining Root ninjas, including Danzo, were directly stunned by the Haoshoku Haki!

Murakumogiri was getting closer as they broke into a cold sweat and reacted.

Whitebeard, exuding his Haoshoku Haki...

Appeared as a god of destruction to them!

Death was imminent!

"This is how pirates negotiate!" Whitebeard's roar, accompanied by crackling lightning, echoed through the town: "Take one of my strikes before negotiating! A bunch of fools! Gurararara!!!!"

In an instant.

The sky changed color!
