Capítulo 123: Chapter 123: Guy vs Kisame! The Hokage's "Concession"!
"I did not come this time because of previous conflicts." Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that as a Hokage of Konohagakure Village, it seemed a bit weak to say this in front of Whitebeard.
But he knew better that if there was a serious conflict with Whitebeard, the entire Konohagakure Village would be dragged into the quagmire of war.
The consequences would be more serious than the Uchiha clan's early coup!
Because, if it is the Uchiha clan's early coup, then Sarutobi has a hundred percent confidence that he can suppress it.
But if Whitebeard wreaks havoc in Konohagakure Village.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has no confidence that he can stop it.
This is the difference in the danger coefficient between the two.
And there is a crucial point... As the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a pure ninja, he is also a politician who weighs the pros and cons.
The stiffness on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face dissipated.
He seemed to forget the conflict with Whitebeard a year ago, and squeezed out a smile again and said to Whitebeard: "I came to see Whitebeard this time for Naruto, because tomorrow is the opening day of Konohagakure Ninja Academy."
"Whitebeard... is Naruto's guardian." Who knows how much determination and frustration it took for Sarutobi Hiruzen to say this sentence.
The smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was twitching almost imperceptibly.
"It's a tradition in Konohagakure every year when the ninja school starts, that the students' parents need to report with the students, which is a sense of ceremony where the old generation entrusts the future to the new generation."
"In order to highlight the 'friendship' between Konohagakure and the Whitebeard Pirates, the ninja academy has specially opened two more enrollment places."
Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "I know that you have a son and a daughter who also want to enroll in the ninja school."
He was saying some very reluctant words.
"For the sake of peace in the ninja world, and for the sake of peace in Konohagakure village. We, Konohagakure, naturally welcome the children of the Whitebeard Pirates to join the ninja academy.
This is no longer considered a sign of weakness.
This can be called "submission"!
The problem is that there is no other way, Sarutobi Hiruzen is very clear, if he does not take the initiative to bring up this matter, Whitebeard will make Konohagakure "forcefully" accept this matter.
The successive departures of the sannin of Konohagakure have always left Konohagakure's military power in a relatively empty state.
Konohagakure now cannot withstand another toss from Whitebeard.
Every time he thinks back to the battle with Whitebeard a year ago.
Sarutobi Hiruzen feels a twinge of back pain.
It's not a lie to say that it's not frustrating.
But he can only do this.
"Gurararararara!" Whitebeard teased with interest, "I remember you were quite tough a year ago, weren't you?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."
"Well..... that's all in the past, it's just a misunderstanding." Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't expect Whitebeard to always bring up the past, is this Whitebeard's EQ low, or does the other party simply not care about his feelings?
"I'll accompany my stupid sons and daughter to school tomorrow." Whitebeard grinned, "I heard from that white-haired kid that a lot of orphans will also be enrolling. In this way, I'm even more interested in your ninja school."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was taken aback.
Whitebeard said he was interested in the ninja academy, but Sarutobi Hiruzen could hear that Whitebeard was interested in those orphans.
Damn it!
This Whitebeard wouldn't be trying to dig their Konohagakure's corner, and then kidnap all those orphans to the Whitebeard Pirates, would he?
Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his fist and then loosened.
"Well..... let's just say that." He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner thoughts, "Whitebeard, I am looking forward to, and the ninja academy also welcomes your arrival tomorrow."
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly left this place.
He didn't come here this time to sincerely invite Whitebeard.
He wanted to take this opportunity to see Whitebeard's current attitude.
Although he was very upset with Whitebeard.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen still breathed a sigh of relief.
"At least....." The smile he squeezed out had faded, he looked up at the bright white clouds in the sky, "Whitebeard hasn't shown any intention of coveting Konohagakure village for the time being."
"What a disgrace!" Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled heavily, "The Uchiha clan is becoming more and more unstable, if at this stage, the village and Whitebeard break out in a fight....."
"We can't conflict with Whitebeard!"
"Ughh..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen can distinguish the importance of these two, he needs to first stabilize the internal conflicts of Konohagakure village.
Before the internal conflicts are stabilized, don't conflict with foreign enemies, try to satisfy Whitebeard as much as possible.
Back then, the Kumogakure Village made all kinds of excessive demands.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed one by one...
It's because of his thinking.
"....." Watching Sarutobi Hiruzen and a group of Anbu leave, Kisame loosened his grip on the hilt of his great sword, Samehada, and clicked his tongue: "Is this the legendary ninja hero? In front of Pops, he's like a bear, doesn't look that great!"
Kisame lost interest in Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a bit more toughness, then Kisame's fighting spirit would grow stronger and stronger.
Unfortunately.....
This Hokage is a soft guy.
Kisame is not interested in soft guy, even if the other party is a Hokage.
...
Not long after.
"Pops, I'm back!" Uzumaki Fuushi's voice came from afar, but surprisingly she didn't come back alone, there was a very strange person following her.
Uzumaki Fuushi came back empty-handed, but the strange person behind her was carrying a large jar of wine, following her with heavy steps.
"What was that group of ninjas just now?" Uzumaki Fuushi, who had just returned, couldn't help but ask curiously.
She saw a group of ninjas leaving when she came back.
Each of those ninjas was wearing a strange mask.
They didn't look like ordinary Konohagakure ninjas.
"Just some weak ninjas from Konohagakure Anbu." Kisame's disdainful tone was only for Konohagakure Anbu and the Third Hokage.
He answered with a pout: "That guy came over and said so much, but he just didn't dare to conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates."
"By the way, who is this strange ninja behind you?" Kisame couldn't help but look at the strange guy behind Uzumaki Fuushi.
In Kisame's view, the other party was wearing a very strange purple tight-fitting suit, and also wearing a ninja vest.
With a very strange watermelon hairstyle.
And a pair of very thick eyebrows.
Uzumaki Fuushi smiled gently and explained: "It's like this, when I was helping Pops buy wine, I thought that if I bought too little, Pops would finish it in one gulp, so I bought a lot of wine."
"But I suddenly found that I bought too much wine and I couldn't bring it over. Just then, a very enthusiastic Konohagakure ninja came to help me, and he helped me carry all these three hundred kg of strong wine."
After explaining, Uzumaki Fuushi looked back at the person behind her.
She gratefully said: "Thank you so much for your help!"
"Hahaha! No need to thank!"
Might Guy showed two big white teeth, full of energy, and gave Uzumaki Fuushi a thumbs up: "A full three hundred kg of weight, is the best interpretation of youth and passion!"
However, just at this moment.
Might Guy suddenly saw Whitebeard standing in front of him.
His whole person was stunned.
"So tall! So familiar!"
"But who is it..."
He took out a small booklet from his pocket with a wary look in his eyes.
After taking a careful look, Might's eyes suddenly widened.
"His! It turns out to be that Whitebeard! The man who defeated the Hokage-sama!" This loud voice shouted a few times, and I guess everyone knows that the Hokage was once defeated by Whitebeard.
"He defeated the Third Hokage!" When Might looked at Whitebeard, his eyes were full of eagerness, and he also made very exaggerated body movements, posing in a very strange pose.
But the next second, Might became serious again: "Why would a man like you appear in Konohagakure Village?"
This exaggerated body movement.....
Made Kisame's eyelids jump.
"Is this strange guy really a ninja from Konohagakure?"
The corner of Kisame's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Might Guy with suspicion, "The ninjas of Konoha, each one of them is indeed 'special'!"
You can only say that they have a lot of "personality".
"Konohagakure's watermelon-headed Konohagakure ninja." Kisame couldn't ignore the conspicuous watermelon head of Might, he said, "Even your Third Hokage didn't dare to say anything disrespectful to Pops. When you speak, it's best to be polite and courteous!"
"Otherwise....." Kisame's eyes were filled with killing intent and bloodshot, "I don't mind killing a ninja in Konohagakure."
"You seem to be very dangerous!" Might Guy looked at Kisame again, "Who are you?"
He found that although this man, Whitebeard, exuded an indescribable domineering aura.
But it doesn't give people a very dangerous feeling.
But this strange shark face.....
It made him feel very dangerous.
"Tsk! Remember my name, watermelon-headed Konohagakure ninja!"
Kisame grinned, he generously stated his real name: "Hoshigaki Kisame..... You must have heard of this name. Of course, I am no longer the me I used to be. Now, I am one of the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Might Guy looked serious for half a minute.
The silence lasted until Kisame's face was almost stiff with a grin.
"I've never heard of it!" Might Guy answered seriously.
Kisame: "..."
"Gurararararara! Quite a unique kid!"
Whitebeard glanced down at Might, perhaps it was the perception of Observation Haki, or perhaps it was years of experience in reading people.
Whitebeard felt that this kid was not simple.
"Foolish son, you might not be this kid's opponent!"
After hearing Whitebeard's' words.
Kisame's eyes narrowed instantly.
Kisame believes that a man like Whitebeard won't be wrong in his judgment, even when the Third Hokage of Konohagakure was here just now, Whitebeard didn't say this.
Now, when this watermelon-headed ninja appears.....
Whitebeard said he was not simple.
"Hey!" Kisame suddenly became interested in Might Guy, the fighting spirit in his heart was also ready to move, and he asked rudely, "Watermelon-headed ninja, what's your name?"
"Guy! Might Guy!" Might responded seriously.
"Might Guy..." Kisame suddenly caught a key word, "Might, huh?"
"Are you related to Might Duy....?"
Kisame frowned and asked.
He said this made Might Guy puzzled, "Do you know my father?"
"That man, is your father?" Kisame's eyes widened a bit, and the killing intent in his eyes became more and more intense.
The expression also changed from the initial disgust to gradually showing a ferocious smile, "I certainly know him! That guy is a notorious bloody demon in Kirigakure Village!"
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village were killed by your father alone, leaving only three people." Kisame said, "Coincidentally, my boss, Suikazan Fuguki, is one of the three who survived."
"I often hear about your father from him, he is a man who is strong to the extreme! Although I have never seen him with my own eyes, I respect him very much."
Kisame respects men with great strength.
He admits that he cannot confront the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village alone.
But that ninja called Might Duy can.
The other party even killed four people!
Might Guy was stunned: "You, are you a ninja from Kirigakure Village?"
"I am a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen." Kisame confessed openly: "But, that's all in the past."
"I see the fiery spirit of youth in your eyes." Might Guy said solemnly: "Ho.....Hoshi....Hoshimaki??.....ummm"
Might Guy suddenly got stuck.
He scratched his head.
A bit embarrassed.
"It's Hoshigaki Kisame! How can you have such a bad memory? How did you become a ninja?" Kisame gritted his teeth, his forehead veins bulging, somewhat disappointed in Might Guy: "Such a powerful man, but he has a son like you?"
But Kisame's upbringing still made him suppress his anger.
"Oh! Hoshigaki Kisame!" Might Guy took a breath and said solemnly again: "I'm very familiar with your look in your eyes, I see the same look every time I see Kakashi."
Might Guy asked seriously: "You, do you want to challenge me?"
"Ha, you could say that." Kisame licked his sharp teeth: "How could I come to Konohagakure openly and do nothing?"
"Exciting indeed!"
Uzumaki Fuushi looked at Hoshigaki Kisame, then at Might Guy. She didn't expect that a Konohagakure ninja who had helped her would stir up Kisame's fighting spirit.
Uzumaki Fuushi suddenly thought of something, she interrupted to remind, "Kisame, Naruto's home is here, if you want to spar with Might Guy, you should find a suitable place."
Kisame, who was stirred up by the fighting spirit, didn't think Uzumaki Fuushi's reminder was superfluous at this time.
From the moment he joined the Whitebeard Pirates, Kisame's attitude towards "family" was very tolerant.
He wouldn't vent his bad mood on his family.
Kisame's gaze wandered around for a while.
"Indeed." He nodded, looked at Might Guy again, "Son of Might Duy, are you interested in sparring with me, a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village, in your Konohagakure Village?"
Kisame smiled, "Don't worry, I'll try not to kill you! And as long as Pops is here, even if I can't stop my attack, Pops will definitely be able to stop me."
"Pops?" Might Guy looked at Whitebeard behind Kisame.
He frowned and looked at Kisame again.
"A challenge from one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village?"
Might Guy remembered his deceased father.
"This is youth!"
His eyes showed a fighting spirit, "Let's do it! Hoshigaki Kakime!"
"....." Kisame was silent for several seconds, with a look of caring for a mentally challenged child in his eyes, he didn't know how many times he had reminded, "It's Hoshigaki Kisame!"
"Good! Hoshigaki Kasame! I've completely remembered your name!"
"You guy..."
Whitebeard watched all this with a hearty smile.
He didn't intervene to stop the two from sparring.
Instead, he was interested in it.
...
Konohagakure's third training ground.
This is a place where 50 ninjas can practice and fight at the same time, there are probably five such training grounds in Konohagakure Village.
"Really worthy of Konohagakure Village!" Kisame paused, he looked around at the surrounding scenery with interest, his words were quite emotional, "In our Kirigakure Village, if there is such a good place near the village, it would have been developed into a residential area."
"As a result, this kind of place in Konohagakure Village is only suitable for ninja training." Kisame withdrew his gaze.
He began to stare intently at Might Guy in front of him.
"Gulp gulp gulp...." The sound of hearty drinking rang out behind Kisame,
Whitebeard sat on a large stone behind him with his legs crossed, Murakumogiri was inserted diagonally into the ground next to him.
Whitebeard was holding a huge jug of wine.
He drank a third of it in one breath.
And burped contentedly.
"Gurararararara!" Whitebeard, slightly drunk, laughed heartily, "Foolish son, don't underestimate the thick-browed kid! This thick-browed kid is not simple!"
"Pops thinks highly of you." Kisame made a confrontation seal very carefully, and said to Might Guy,
"Then you can't let me down! Might Guy!"
The moment Kisame's words fell.
He unhesitatingly took out three Kunai, the three Kunai that broke through the air, each one went straight to Might Guy's joint.
But Guy easily dodged it.
Guy also gradually became passionate, he showed two big white teeth, and even tears of passion flowed from his eyes: "This is the most passionate youth of our generation! Hoshigaki Kisame!"
Guy, who had called the wrong name several times, finally got it right once.
"Youth! Passion! Blood! Sweat! and Tear! It's my turn now!"
Bang..!!!
The ground under Guy's feet suddenly sank a few centimeters, his figure was like an arrow off the string, turning into a purple shadow that was hard to see with the naked eye, approaching Kisame, and a powerful spinning kick swept out with a twist of his waist.
"This move is called Konohagakure's Strong Whirlwind!!!"
"What" Kisame's pupils shrank suddenly, Guy's speed was so fast...
That his reaction time was a bit slow.
Kisame was already too late to dodge.
He tensed all the muscles in his body.
"Puwa...." A spinning kick landed on Kisame's abdomen with unimaginable force, and Kisame spat out a mouthful of bitter water.
His legs kept retreating violently, and every time he retreated, he stepped out a pit on the ground.
He retreated a full ten meters.
Only then did he stop.
"Really...." There was no trace of pain on Kisame's face, what was there was extreme excitement and fighting spirit, the grim smile on his face reached an extreme: "You are indeed Might Duy's son!"
"Might Guy, your taijutsu is impressive, but my Pop's taijutsu is the strongest!"
