One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

Given the vast disparity in strength between the two sides, the Third Hokage, as the leader of Konoha, could only force a smile and utter three words.

"Please speak."

Giger tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said,

"I want you to find a monk named Cixian."

The Third Hokage, who had already prepared himself for the harsh conditions of the mission, was taken aback upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask,

"Is it just about finding a monk?"

For the Third Hokage, finding someone was far too easy. After all, Konoha was the number one ninja village in the ninja world. Given the mobility and intelligence gathering capabilities of its ninjas, there was practically no one in the entire ninja world they couldn't find, as long as they had a target.

Giger shook his finger and said casually,

"This person is not as simple as you think. On the surface, he is an ordinary monk, but in reality, he is the leader of an organization called Kara. Moreover, his strength... hehe, if you push him too far, the entire Hidden Leaf Village combined would not be a match for him."

Upon hearing this, both the Third Hokage and Danzo's pupils contracted. They had no reason to doubt Giger's words, because someone like Giger would have no reason to lie to them about such a matter.

The emergence of another unknown yet extraordinary being was difficult for these two elderly people, who had lived for decades, to accept.

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, the Third Generation tentatively asked,

"Is this Cixian your friend or... enemy?"

Giger smiled slightly and said,

"enemy."

Although Giger and Shiki had never met before, he was going to use Shiki as fertilizer, so how could they not be enemies?

Upon hearing that Giger and Jigen were enemies, the Third Hokage and Danzo both breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from this, Giger's search for Jigen would most likely lead to a battle, in which one side would inevitably be defeated. And of course, the fewer of these completely unknown and uncontrollable beings, the better.

For the Third Hokage and Danzo, the best outcome would be for Gigo and Jigen to both be severely injured, which might allow them to take advantage of the situation...

The moment the thought crossed their minds, the two met Jigna's calm, unwavering eyes, the gaze seeming to see right through them.

The Third Hokage subconsciously swallowed, the thought that had just popped into his head immediately vanishing. He realized an important point: right now, it was Giger who wanted them to find Jigen, which meant that Jigen was the passive party. As Giger said, Jigen's power was enough to dominate the entire ninja world, so why hadn't his name been spread even now?

The only explanation he could think of was that this Cixian was evading Giger's pursuit. Giger's strength far surpassed Cixian's, and taking down Cixian would be no difficult task for Giger. It was also impossible for him to be seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage looked at Danzo, who was also looking at him. The two old men only needed to exchange a glance to know that they had thought of the same thing again.

The next second, the Third Generation suddenly bowed to Giger and said solemnly,

"Thank you for informing me, Saint Giger. Without your information, this mission would have resulted in incalculable casualties."

Giger simply waved his hand casually and said,

"I don't care about your casualties. I just want your people to be careful during the search. Once you find the target, don't expose yourselves. Just quickly report the target's location back to us."

Danzo nodded in agreement beside the Third Hokage.

"I will follow your orders."

Danzo's attitude at this moment could be described as humbled like never before. Jig nodded in satisfaction, and his words made Danzo feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"I'm giving you one month. If you don't find Jigen within a month, Konoha will disappear."

Faced with Giger's blatant threat, neither the Third Hokage nor Danzo dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction. They could only obediently accept the task. Only after hearing Giger say, "You're done here. Go back. Don't come looking for me until you hear news of Jigen," did the two leave the room that had made them feel so oppressed.

Stepping out of the mansion, the Third Hokage and Danzo's faces were clouded with gloom. The two issued orders to the Anbu and Root respectively, instructing them to immediately assemble at the Hokage Building, where they would personally assign tasks.

Soon, every ninja in Konoha with any strength received an order: regardless of whether they were currently on a mission, they were all to immediately stop and search for a monk named Jigen.

The description of Jigen is that he is extremely dangerous. Once you discover him, do not act rashly. You must immediately send the information back to Konoha.

That afternoon, a large number of ninjas poured out of Konoha and began searching for Jigen throughout the ninja world.

Fortunately, Jig described the appearance of Jigen from his memory to the Third Hokage and Danzo, which avoided the situation of finding a bunch of "Jigen".

During this time, Giger and Lily lived in the Fourth Hokage's mansion. During the day, the two would occasionally stroll around the streets of Konoha. However, both of their appearances and heights were too conspicuous, and Lily didn't like being stared at by a group of "monkeys." To avoid Konoha being wiped out by Lily in advance, Giger simply stayed at home with Lily and stopped going out.

That day, Giger was watching Naruto drag a balloon in the yard. Naruto was staring intently at the water-filled balloon in his hand, which was trembling. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the balloon in Naruto's hand burst.

Looking at his empty palms, Naruto's expression immediately fell, his face still covered in balloon fragments.

"Sigh... I failed again..."

Giger raised his hand towards the door, and a suction force pulled the door open. At the same time, he smiled and said to Naruto...

"You've already made great progress, there's no need to be discouraged."

The third generation walked over at this moment, his face beaming with joy. Giger turned and glanced at him, then said calmly,

"Is there any news about Cixian?"

The third generation nodded and quickly responded.

"Got it, we've captured a member of Shell, his name is Boro."

"Boro?"

Jig didn't know much about the characters in Boruto, and it took him a while to remember one character who seemed to be a cult leader.

The third generation continued.

"Boro must have a high position in the Kara organization. His ability is also extremely strange. His body can regenerate infinitely. Fortunately, Kakashi discovered his weakness with his Sharingan, which is why he was able to capture him."

Upon hearing this, Jig nodded, thinking to himself that as expected of Kakashi, who was known as the "50/50" Kakashi, he was quite reliable in crucial moments.

"Well done. Lead the way, I'm going to meet this Boro."
