Chapter 69: Family Members Must Not Hurt or Doubt Each Other
"Gurararara!"
Whitebeard's hearty laughter echoed throughout the Kusagakure Village.
For Whitebeard today, there was nothing happier than adopting two daughters.
Uzumaki Fuushi.
Uzumaki Karin.
This mother-daughter pair from the Uzumaki clan joined the new Whitebeard Pirates from this day forward!
"Stupid son, I have found you another family member. Remember, in the Whitebeard Pirates, family members must trust each other and cannot hurt each other."
Whitebeard's words seemed to be directed at Naruto, but also at Karin and Uzumaki Fuushi.
"I will not tolerate any suspicion or harm among you. I will punish anyone who breaks this rule!!"
Thinking of Blackbeard Teach, Whitebeard's tone became extremely serious when he said the last sentence.
He would not allow such a tragedy to repeated.
The appearance of a "Teach" caused him to lose countless family members, which was unacceptable to Whitebeard.
During the Summit war, he ultimately did not have the heart to deal with Teach, which eventually led to a greater tragedy.
If such a thing were to happen again...
If there were another person like Teach...
He would not be soft-hearted anymore!
"Pops, rest assured!" Naruto's face was tense and very serious: "I will absolutely not hurt my family, and I absolutely will not allow others to hurt my family!"
Uzumaki Fuushi wiped her tears. She knew that her performance might be a bit embarrassing in front of her daughter.
But she really couldn't hold back her emotions.
Uzumaki Fuushi took a deep breath.
She said seriously: "I... since I chose to recognize you as my father, I will use my life to follow your will, Pops."
"I'm like Mom! And..." Karin looked at Naruto: "And like brother Naruto!"
"Gurararara!"
Whitebeard laughed even more happily, his crescent-shaped beard trembling: "You are indeed my children!"
The war at Marineford that brought a shadow over Whitebeard's heart.
At this moment.
Completely dissipated.
Kakashi watched this scene in silence. Even though the four of them had no blood relationship and two of them were from the Uzumaki clan and had just met today.
Why were they so harmonious?
Just because they all recognized this "Whitebeard" as their father? A simple "Pops" word can make their relationship so good?
Speaking of which.
Why didn't they reject Whitebeard's invitation?
Recognizing someone as a "father" is definitely a big deal in life. They made such a decision so easily?
Without consideration?
Without thinking about it?
Kakashi felt that this might be the unique charm of Whitebeard's personality, a kind of charm that instinctively makes people who lack a family trust in Whitebeard.
After much thought, Kakashi felt that this was the only possibility.
That being said... this so-called "New Whitebeard Pirate Group", with the addition of Whitebeard, has now expanded to four members.
One of them is aided by the Nine-Tails, and the other two are members of the Uzumaki clan, who don't seem to be easy to deal with.
How long has it been since?
It's incredible!
...
The next day,
Early morning.
A group of civilians from the Kusagakure Village hiding in the back mountain finally returned to the village in trembling groups.
They all fled to the back mountain temporarily for refuge.
They didn't bring any supplies with them
If they continued to hide in the back mountain, they wouldn't have enough food, let alone enough clean fresh water.
Now
They could only brace themselves.
And return to the village.
"So many houses in the village have collapsed!" someone swallowed hard, utterly shocked: "At least half of the houses have collapsed, especially those where the ninjas live, not one is intact."
"Look over there!" someone else exclaimed in horror: "The ninjas' office building has collapsed. It was a building of more than ten floors, now it's collapsed to only one or two floors.
"Look at all these bodies, all of them our fellow village ninjas. Was there truly a war last night? Did our village suffer defeat?"
"There are more than two hundred ninjas in our village. How could we lose?"
"Could our leader already have..."
"Shush, don't talk nonsense!"
What presented itself before these civilians was a devastated Kusagakure Village, almost unrecognizable from its original state
Two-thirds of the buildings in the entire village had collapsed.
Of the remaining one-third of buildings in the village, most had suffered varying degrees of damage.
The ground was covered with cracks everywhere
Many of these cracks had begun to seep groundwater, forming a complex network of rivers.
A dense network of rivers spread across the entire ninja village.
At first glance.
It was incredibly shocking!
"Over there! There are two ninjas!" A group of civilians from Kusagakure Village suddenly noticed two ninjas busy at work not far away.
They hurriedly swarmed over.
"Ninja-sama, what happened last night? Was there an enemy invasion? Did our Kusagakure Village win?" As soon as they reached the two ninjas, someone couldn't help but ask one question after another.
The two ninjas were survivors from Kusagakure Village.
They were all wrapped in bandages, cleaning up the ruins of the village.
Seeing a group of people coming up to ask questions.
One of the ninjas, with his head down in despair, pointed to his empty forehead, where there was no ninja headband.
He retorted: "What do you think?"
Then he ignored these people and continued to clean up these ruins. They had been cleaning since last night.
The civilians of Kusagakure Village looked at each other.
The scene gradually quieted down.
Another ninja on the side was more talkative, and he said frankly: "Kusagakure Village has become a thing of the past. The leader... cough! The former leader of Kusagakure Village is already dead. Out of more than two hundred ninjas in the entire village, only more than thirty are left."
He spoke shockingly: "More than a thousand houses in the village, more than seven hundred have been razed to the ground. The Daimyo who was temporarily living in the village also went to heaven with the leader of Kusagakure Village."
"Now Kusagakure Village is Whitebeard Pirate Crew's territory. From now on, the Kusagakure symbol in the village will be erased, and the entire village will hang the flag of Whitebeard Pirate Crew."
After saying these words with a huge amount of information.
He paused and said: "This is what happened last night. The remaining ninjas in Kusagakure Village have to listen to Whitebeard. He asked us to clean up the ruins of the village."
As his words fell.
The civilians of Kusagakure Village were shocked!
That is to say...
In just one night, Kusagakure Village changed its name?
Even...!
The Daimyo also died in last night's war?
That's a Daimyo!
That has a position above all people!
He...
Was killed?
"Look!" The ninja pointed not far away: "Do you see that tall wooden pole over there? The flag hanging on it with a black background and white painting is the flag of Whitebeard Pirate Crew."
In fact, when he said these words, even he himself was quite dazed, feeling like a dream.
Overnight, his own ninja village was destroyed
Who would have thought that a dignified ninja village
Would be so vulnerable?
