Capítulo 284: Chapter 284: The Humble Kumogakure Village! Seventy percent? Seventy percent belongs to
Whitebeard-sama!
Kumogakure Village.
The Whitebeard Pirates have been here for almost a week, and to celebrate their victory over Kumogakure Village, they even held a week-long banquet.
For the people of Kumogakure Village, this is absolutely heartbreaking!
But they have no choice but to watch the Whitebeard Pirates "run rampant" on their Kumogakure Village turf.
At this moment.
A higher-ups elder of Kumogakure Village, leading a group of ninjas, came to Whitebeard.
They naturally couldn't be here to pick a fight, they didn't have the guts.
The higher-ups elder of Kumogakure Village took a deep breath, his face complex as he looked at Whitebeard in front of him, the man who had defeated Kumogakure Village.
Finally, the higher-ups elder of Kumogakure Village took the initiative to speak to Whitebeard: "Whitebeard-sama, this is all the funds that our Kumogakure Village can currently gather..."
You can see that the ninjas behind him put boxes on the ground one by one.
Among them, a ninja opened a box.
You can see that there are scrolls sealed inside the box.
"Whitebeard-sama, each scroll is sealed with ten million in cash. There are a total of three hundred scrolls here, which add up to a total of three billion."
He paused for a moment, and continued: "In order to show our Kumogakure Village's sincerity, in the future, thirty percent of Kumogakure Village's fiscal revenue and the Daimyo's military expenses will be transferred to the Whitebeard Pirates."
"We hope to borrow these three billion, and the promise behind it, to get back the ninjas who were captured in the village, please accept these three billion, Whitebeard-sama."
This time, Kumogakure Village bowed their heads very thoroughly.
They went to great lengths to raise these three billion, even calling on the ninja clans in the village to raise money together.
They say they don't regret it, it must be false.
If they had raised two billion early on, maybe they only needed to spend the initial two billion to ransom back Raikage-sama, Killer Bee, Yugito, Samui, and others.
But who made them unwilling to spend this money, and even chose to fall out with the Whitebeard Pirates.
As a result, now it's good.
Their entire village was filled with pirate flags by the Whitebeard Pirates, and then they had to spend an extra billion to show their sincerity.
In the end, they even had to make a very shameful promise, making Kumogakure Village a worker for the Whitebeard Pirates.
A not good or bad hand, was played into the worst hand by Kumogakure Village.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine to eat, they can only break their teeth and swallow it hard.
Hearing the words of this higher-ups elder of Kumogakure Village, and then glancing at the scrolls.
Whitebeard's face had a few mocking and teasing expressions: "Gurarararara, three billion and thirty percent of the fiscal revenue and military expenses every year... tsk tsk your village is quite rich, isn't it? Why didn't you even want to give two billion before?"
A short sentence made the face of the higher-ups elder of Kumogakure Village blush with shame.
Who knew that the Whitebeard Pirates could be so powerful?
If they could foresee the future, they definitely wouldn't go to their deaths!
The elder of Kumogakure could only respond with a very reluctant smile, "Before this, there were people in the village who were blind, we have already reprimanded them."
Whitebeard glanced at him, did not expose this clumsy lie, he laughed loudly: "Gurararararara! In that case, we, the Whitebeard Pirates, will take these three billion!"
This sentence made the elders of Kumogakure Village breathe a sigh of relief.
Because with Whitebeard's promise, it means that they, Kumogakure Village, have handed over this ransom.
As long as the ransom is handed over, then Raikage-sama, and the two Jinchuriki, and some other ninja prisoners in the village, will definitely be released.
"As for that thirty percent of what income..." Whitebeard paused, his eyes narrowed, and continued, "This little bit of division, are you guys giving it to beggars?"
This sentence made the elder of Kumogakure Village feel a thump in his heart, and he had a very bad premonition.
He hurriedly said, "Whitebeard-sama, please don't misunderstand, and please don't get angry!"
He absolutely didn't want to provoke Whitebeard.
A while ago, Whitebeard's terrifying momentum could stun thousands of elite ninjas in the village in an instant.
If such a terrifying momentum is released in the village, wouldn't it instantly stun almost everyone in the entire village?
That would be a big upheaval for Kumogakure Village!
"We... we Kumogakure Village are willing to give the Whitebeard Pirates forty percent of the Daimyo's military expenses and fiscal revenue every year!"
When he said this, the heart of this elder of Kumogakure Village was dripping blood.
Because he is the higher-up in the village who manages the money, every word he says now is cutting flesh from his body!
"Why are you guys so hesitant to pay a protection fee? It's not as straightforward as Kirigakure Village!"
Whitebeard grinned, "Let me give you guys a suggestion! The money you Kumogakure Village earns is divided into thirty-seven with the Whitebeard Pirates! Thirty percent is yours, seventy percent is ours!"
The elder of Kumogakure Village was dumbfounded.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva in the dark, and asked weakly, "If... if Kumogakure Village's income is zero, or even... even owes money..."
Whitebeard looked at him disdainfully, "What? You want the Whitebeard Pirates to 'share good and bad' with your Kumogakure Village?"
The elder of Kumogakure Village immediately shut up.
He gave a sheepish laugh.
He didn't dare to say more.
The meaning of Whitebeard's words is very clear - if Kumogakure Village makes money, they have to give seventy percent to the Whitebeard Pirates, if Kumogakure Village owes money, then you guys figure out how to pay it back.
If they agree to such a condition, then the Whitebeard Pirates will be a "big daddy" riding on top of Kumogakure Village.
To put it bluntly, it's a vampire that keeps sucking blood from Kumogakure Village.
But as the defeated side of Kumogakure Village, what can they do?
They can only retreat step by step, and compromise step by step.
In the end, this elder of Kumogakure Village agreed.
Nowadays, the Raikage-sama in the village is a captive of the Whitebeard Pirates, and he is considered the highest authority in the village.
In other words, he is now the acting Raikage of Kumogakure Village.
That is to say, whatever he promises to the Whitebeard Pirates, Kumogakure Village must follow his promise in the future.
Otherwise, Kumogakure Village may face another pirate invasion!
Unless they have the power to resist the Whitebeard Pirates.
But how easy is that?
A Fourth Raikage, two Jinchuriki, thousands of ninjas, all tied together are not opponents of the Whitebeard Pirates.
What else can they do to resist the Whitebeard Pirates?
...
Also, today, Kumogakure Village has a group of special guests.
The ninja guarding the entrance of Kumogakure Village found that there were several Kirigakure ninjas appearing at the gate of their Kumogakure.
"Stop!" It's shameful enough for a group of pirates from the Whitebeard Pirates to be stationed in Kumogakure Village. If they let a group of Kirigakure ninjas come in, what is Kumogakure Village?
So, a Chunin who was guarding the gate of Kumogakure Village immediately opened his mouth and stopped the group of Kirigakure ninjas: "Kumogakure Village does not receive guests from other villages in the past few days, no matter what your purpose is, please turn around and leave immediately!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was pulled by his companion next to him.
He looked at his companion somewhat incomprehensibly: "Why are you pulling me? Isn't this the order issued by the higher-ups of the village?"
"Look at the flagpole they are carrying." The companion next to him swallowed a mouthful of saliva and reminded.
Hearing this, he immediately looked at one of the Kirigakure ninjas.
Sure enough, he saw that the other party was holding a long flagpole in his hand.
Looking up along the flagpole, you can see a black flag fluttering in the wind.
The pattern embroidered on the flag, as long as it is not blind, can be seen.
And for this pattern, the ninjas of Kumogakure Village are very familiar!
Because similar black and white flags have now been inserted all over Kumogakure Village!
Obviously, this is a pirate flag!
It's the pirate flag of the Whitebeard Pirates!
"You... what do you mean by holding this pirate flag?" The ninja guarding the gate of Kumogakure Village immediately became uneasy.
Terumi Mei hooked the corner of her mouth and said: "Our Kirigakure Village is a vassal ninja village of the Whitebeard Pirates, just like your Kumogakure Village. In fact, we became a ninja village under Whitebeard-sama before your Kumogakure Village. In other words, Kirigakure Village is your Kumogakure Village's -senpai!"
"We are not here to see you. We want to see Whitebeard-sama because we have important things to give to Whitebeard-sama. What? Are you going to stop us?"
Terumi Mei spoke very firmly.
If it were in the past, if Kirigakure Village had a messenger come to Kumogakure Village, they would definitely speak very politely, because the strength of the two villages is not proportional.
Now it's different.
The wheel of fortune turns.
Since everyone is a subsidiary ninja village under the Whitebeard Pirates, should Kirigakure Village, as the "senpai", be humble to Kumogakure Village, the "junior"?
That's impossible!
Moreover, in Terumi Mei's eyes, their Kirigakure Village is the most loyal dog under the Whitebeard Pirates.
As for Kumogakure Village in front of them?
Huh...
Terumi Mei doesn't believe that this Kumogakure Village, which just bowed its head to Whitebeard-sama, is as loyal to Whitebeard-sama as Kirigakure Village.
Who knows, this Kumogakure Village might harbor some rebelliousness towards Whitebeard-sama!
So, when facing Kumogakure Village, she naturally carries a sense of superiority.
And the words that Terumi Mei just said made a few gatekeepers of Kumogakure Village look at each other.
Although Terumi Mei's tone made them very upset, they had to admit that Terumi Mei's words made them look at each other in shock.
Especially this group of Kirigakure ninjas, who entered Kumogakure Village under the name of sending things to the Whitebeard Pirates, should they stop them?
If they take action to stop them, will they offend the Whitebeard Pirates?
Can they bear that responsibility?
After some struggle, they eventually let Terumi Mei and other Kirigakure ninjas in.
Yes, they are scared.
...
"Haha, Terumi Mei-sama, did you see the expressions of those Kumogakure ninjas at the gate just now? They looked like they are very scared"
After entering Kumogakure Village, a Kirigakure ninja gloated, "Does Kumogakure Village think they can stop us, Kirigakure Village?"
Terumi Mei laughed, "They are not holding back that kind of displeasure for our Kirigakure Village, they are holding it back for the Whitebeard Pirates, they are holding it back for Whitebeard-sama."
Terumi Mei paused, and continued, "This is the right to speak in the ninja world that Whitebeard-sama has won for our Kirigakure Village! If one day Whitebeard-sama conquers all the ninja villages in the ninja world..."
"By then, wouldn't our Kirigakure Village be able to take this opportunity to become the leader of the five major ninja villages? The master was right, this is a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity for our Kirigakure Village!"
As for Kusagakure Village, which became a "dog" earlier than their Kirigakure Village? That small ninja village, Terumi Mei simply ignored.
Terumi Mei found out that being a subsidiary ninja village of the pirate group was not so unacceptable!
After all, the Whitebeard Pirates have shown a power that transcends the secular world of the ninja world, why should these ninjas compare with the pirate?
Ninjas should compare with ninjas!
Anyway...
That's what Terumi Mei thinks.
...
On the other side.
Konan was still pondering how to approach Whitebeard and then infiltrate the Whitebeard Pirates?
She found this to be a big problem.
She couldn't just run up to Whitebeard and say she wanted to join the Whitebeard Pirates, could she?
She felt that Whitebeard would definitely be suspicious, he would definitely reject her, and might even capture her.
Just as Konan was troubled, a sudden piece of news threw her off.
This news was passed to Kumogakure Village from the Akatsuki organization.
It was also information that Nagato informed Konan.
"'Uchiha Madara' went to capture a group of people related to the Whitebeard Pirates, he is planning to use this to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates? And also, he asked Nagato and me to cooperate with him in doing this?"
Konan was stunned, what kind of operation is this?
That guy "Uchiha Madara", how could he suddenly take such an action without discussing it with them?
The key is that they are struggling with how to infiltrate the Whitebeard Pirates, and to find Whitebeard's weakness in a more gentle and appropriate way.
That guy "Uchiha Madara" used this brutal method to tear his face with the Whitebeard Pirates and wanted to use this method to confront Whitebeard?
Konan was shocked.
No, if that guy really is Uchiha Madara, then he must be at least a hundred years old, right?
Can an old ninja of over a hundred years old do such an operation?
Where is his brain?
Konan took a deep breath: "Absolutely we cannot cooperate with him. his behavior is only pulling the Akatsuki organization into the abyss! The Akatsuki organization that has been painstakingly operated for many years... will definitely be ruined in his hands!"
Without knowing Whitebeard's specific weaknesses, using this method to deal with Whitebeard...
What a joke?
"Hmm... wait."
A glimmer of different color flashed in Konan's eyes, she seemed to have caught a "cut-in point".
It's just that such a cut-in point always feels a bit not so good.
