Chapter 98: Hiring the Whitebeard Pirates? Make a choice, kid!

Tonight, Naruto's happiness was no less than the day he recognized Whitebeard as his father. He ate half of a super large cake.

You should know that the volume of that cake is equivalent to several Naruto.

Anyway, Uchiha Shisui was stunned all the way.

He found it hard to imagine how a six-year-old Naruto could eat so much?

Just because of Naruto's daily suicidal training?

Is this really in line with human physiology?

"It's really a happy family!" Shisui picked up a piece of cream and put it in his mouth. He couldn't help but look at Whitebeard, who was drinking and eating meat, and muttered, "No wonder, Whitebeard can get Uzumaki Naruto to recognize him as his father."

"He is a man full of pride and can bring family affection to his 'family'. Family affection, this is the bond that the ninja world lacks the most." Shisui remembered his parents.

He once had a happy family too.

Until his parents died in the ninja war. Even…

The faces of his parents are so vague in Shisui's memory.

Honestly,

He is very envious of Naruto.

Such a happy family always makes people want to join. For every person in the ninja world, such a family is full of temptation.

No ulterior motives

No fighting.

All there is is the care of family members.

And cheerful laughter.

And banquets.

"Such a big family, even Kakashi-senpai, has been influenced. Is this the charm of his personality?" Uchiha Shisui looked at Kakashi from an outsider's perspective.

He could tell that the Kakashi in front of him was very different from the very depressed Kakashi-senpai he remembered.

Even if Kakashi-senpai did not recognize Whitebeard as his father.

But he was definitely influenced by Whitebeard's personality charm.

The "depression" on Kakashi-senpai…

Has dissipated a lot

Perhaps, even Kakashi-senpai himself didn't notice it?

"It's Pity… I'm an Uchiha." Uchiha Shisui's face darkened, he looked down at the bandage wrapped around his arm, "This surname… seems to always carry a kind of curse."

"And, this only remaining eye. I originally wanted to use this eye to resolve the tension between the Uchiha clan and Konohagakure, but I didn't expect this eye to make anyone distrust me."

Shisui touched his eye.

"No, no!"

He looked at Whitebeard who was drinking.

Shisui recalled that he had already revealed the secret of the Mangekyou Sharingan to Whitebeard and others.

But these days he found that whether it was Whitebeard, Kakashi, or Uzumaki Naruto, Karin, Uzumaki Fuushi, they all communicated with him without a defensive posture.

Instead, they kept this dangerous person around in a very easygoing manner.

And they are not worried that he will control someone's thoughts with his eyes.

It's a strange kind of trust.

Shisui was stunned.

"It turns out that besides Itachi… there are so many people who trust me when they know the secret of my eyes."

He found…

The Whitebeard Pirates are different from Konohagakure.

And it's even more different from the Uchiha clan.

....

The next day,

Early morning.

"Gurararararara! Stupid son! Don't think you can slack off after entering the Observation Haki!" Whitebeard's voice rang out from five o'clock in the morning.

"Detecting the trajectory of the attack is just the basics of Observation Haki, the next stage is to expand the range of Observation Haki perception!"

"Your perception range is less than ten meters!" 

When Whitebeard roared.

Those layers of sound waves are visible to the naked eye.

"Ah! Sorry, Pops! I accidentally overslept for two minutes, I'll get up and practice right away!"

Naruto woke up like a spring.

So.....

Naruto started a new day of special training.

This time the weight on his body has reached a staggering thousand kg, but it is clear that such an astonishing weight is an unbearable weight for Naruto

Every step he takes.....

He gritted his teeth.

His body were trembling.

The blue veins on his forehead were exposed, and his little face was flushed with suffocation.

But he had to hold on and try to maintain his body balance.

Because Naruto knows that only by holding on can he become stronger.

In order to protect the family in the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Ten.....ten kilometers....." Naruto gritted his teeth and muttered, the distance of weight-bearing walking set by Pops for him.

If it had been before, he would definitely have screamed.

He would think that Whitebeard is going to kill him.

But now Naruto knows very well that he will definitely be able to hold on, because his body has long been different from the past.

What's more, there is a big fox to support.

Naruto knows that as long as his body or consciousness is about to hold on, the big fox will definitely lend him strength so that he can continue to persist.

However...

When Naruto walked a few hundred meters with a weight of a thousand kg on his back, a small accident happened.

Naruto suddenly widened his eyes.

He clearly felt that the weight on his body suddenly increased by more than a hundred kg.

The sudden increase in weight is like the last straw that crushes the camel's back.

Making Naruto's legs soft.

"AAAAA!!!"

With Naruto's panicked scream.

His small body was crushed by the weight piled into a small mountain.

The whole person was buried in it.

"Huh?" The voice of a strange woman sounded from above Naruto, the woman's low and whispering tone was a bit doubtful: "Why did this pile of things collapse? 

"Just now it seemed like someone yelled, the voice was quite immature, it seemed like a child's call? But I didn't see anyone!"

Terumi Mei frowned slightly.

She looked down in confusion.

"Forget it....."

Terumi Mei shook her head, she sneaked into the shipyard this time, not to find any children, what she wanted to find was Whitebeard!

Such a powerful man, if he can be won over, then the "coup plan" can be implemented earlier.

The situation in the Water Land of Water is getting worse and worse.

The four words "people struggling to survive" are really appropriate in the Land of Water.

Terumi Mei knew very well that the Blood Mist policy of Kirigakure must end!

And she wants to persuade Daimyo to lift the isolation of the Land of Water.

In order to make Kirigakure Village and the Land of Water stronger, we cannot continue in this ghostly state.

The biggest obstacle standing in her way is actually the Fourth Mizukage!

It can be said that all the ninjas in Kirigakure Village who have a bit of conscience... want to change the current situation of the village.

They all want to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage.

Terumi Mei is no exception.

But Terumi Mei knows that with her own power, Ao, and a few Kirigakure ninjas, they can't overthrow the rule of the Fourth.

Even with the secret support of the "Genjii" one of the Elder of Kirigakure, it can't be done.

The Fourth Mizukage is a rare perfect Jinchuriki.

Trying to assassinate such a person...

It's as difficult as reaching the sky!

In the final analysis, there is still a lack of power to determine the fate of Kirigakure Village. Terumi Mei thinks Whitebeard has this kind of power!

...Destroy the entire Kusagakure Village.

...A bounty of 100 million Ryo.

...Killing a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

These three feats combined show that Whitebeard has the power of a "Kage"!

Just then.

Terumi Mei noticed that the pile of objects under her feet trembled.

Looking down, she saw a small hand drilling out of the object and grabbing her ankle.

She watched as a very embarrassed blond kid crawled out from under the pile of objects at her feet.

At this moment, Terumi Mei suddenly understood something.

Her face was a bit embarrassed.

"Hey! Who are you?" Naruto felt sore all over his body. If it weren't for his half-year of self-abuse training, and his physical strength far surpassing some adult ninjas, this would have crushed him half to death.

This made Naruto's face unhappy.

"And Who are you?" Terumi Mei narrowed her eyes and asked uncertainly, "The blond kid who was with Whitebeard?"

Terumi Mei had heard some information before she came, 

she knew that Whitebeard was not alone.

There were several people with him.

One of them... was a blond kid.

"Eh?" Naruto was taken aback, "You, know Pops?"

"Pops?" Terumi Mei was even more stunned than Naruto.

She was incredulous: "Is this the word you use to refer to Whitebeard?"

"Yeah!" Naruto naturally said, "Whitebeard is my Pops! I am Whitebeard's son! My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I am also the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates, and I will become the Hokage in the future, and even surpass the Hokage!

"First team captain, Hokage?" Terumi Mei squatted down, although the kid didn't look old, she still wanted to avoid flashing in front of a kid.

She looked Naruto up and down: "Kid, are you from Konohagakure Village?"

"Yes!" Naruto tapped his head.

Terumi Mei frowned.

Doesn't that mean that Whitebeard is also from the Konohagakure Village?

Could it be that Whitebeard was a ninja from Konohagakure Village, then for some reason, he defected from the village and became a rogue ninja, and finally became a pirate at sea?

"You call him Pops, so you are his son?"

Terumi Mei was a bit skeptical.

Because, according to the information she knew, Whitebeard was a giant over six meters tall. Which woman in the entire ninja world could be his partner?

And which woman could give birth to his son?

This .....

Is there a hole that can be entered by Whitebeard's big johny?

Forget it!

Why care about so much?

Terumi Mei swept away her wild thoughts, she tried to smile gently: "Little friend, your name is Uzumaki Naruto, right? Can you take me to your Pops? I want to talk to your Pops about something."

"Pops!" Unexpectedly, Naruto didn't respond to her.

Instead, he shouted happily at her back.

Terumi Mei's pupils shrank.

She suddenly stood up.

Quickly turned around.

"Whitebeard!" A cry of surprise came from her mouth. Terumi Mei didn't expect Whitebeard to come. And he came so suddenly that she didn't react at all.

How can such a tall figure make such ghostly movements that people can't detect any movement?

If they were enemies

Then wouldn't she be a corpse if Whitebeard had just attacked her from behind?

Terumi Mei took a deep breath.

Her heart was stopped for a moment!

"Another little ninja from Kirigakure Village!" Whitebeard glanced at Terumi Mei's Kirigakure forehead protector, he had learned to distinguish what ninja village the ninja was from by different ninja forehead protectors.

He looked at Naruto again: "Stupid son! This little Kirigakure ninja, at most just over a hundred kg. An extra hundred kg of weight, and you can't hold on?!"

"Sorry! Pops!" Naruto decisively admitted his mistake. I will increase my strength!

"Gurararararara! Good!"

Whitebeard laughed: "You are worthy of being my son!"

Is this Whitebeard?

At this moment.

Terumi Mei was shocked.

Such a close look at Whitebeard, the king's aura emanating from him, is not like a pirate at all.

Not even like a ninja.

On the contrary, it's like a ruler!

Like a king!

Even if it's a very powerful ninja, when facing Whitebeard, I'm afraid they can't help but tremble, right? That amazing oppressive feeling, like the momentum accumulated over the years.

It's terrifying!

"Whitebeard-sama, my name is 'Terumi Mei'. As you can see, I come from Kirigakure Village, but I'm not here to cause trouble." Terumi Mei didn't beat around the bush.

She knows that when dealing with such a man, you must speak straight, and you can't beat around the bush.

"I want to cooperate with you! Or rather, I invite you to cooperate!" Terumi Mei got straight to the point: "The power you possess is the best partner we can find.

Compared to the mercenary from the Akatsuki organization."

Terumi Mei seemed to have a high EQ.

She didn't think about pulling such a man under her command, because she knew it was impossible to accomplish.

So,

She talked about "cooperation"

"Cooperation?" Whitebeard looked at her with hollow eyes: "Kirigakure brat, if pirates want to talk about cooperation, they need to greet each other to ensure who will lead this cooperation.

Whitebeard was talking about the rules on the sea.

He didn't ask what the content of the cooperation was.

He just grinned: "You.....are you sure you want to cooperate?"

Although Terumi Mei didn't quite understand what Whitebeard meant by "greeting"

But she still said: "Whitebeard-sama, I sincerely invite you. I know Whitebeard-sama is a pirate, who likes gold and silver jewelry very much."

"If Whitebeard-sama is willing to help us, as long as we achieve the final goal, we are willing to give all the fiscal revenue of Kirigakure Village for a year as your reward.

"Although Kirigakure Village is very poor, the fiscal revenue for a year will not be less than 500 million Ryo!"

After saying these words.

Terumi Mei was full of expectation.

"Tsk, Kirigakure brat, are you trying to get something for nothing?" Whitebeard has been in the sea for so many years, and he has a large territory in the New World, which is no different from an emperor. He saw through Terumi Mei's little tricks at a glance.

"Whitebeard-sama, I can pay the deposit for the reward first." Terumi Mei took out a scroll, she said very seriously: "There is fifty million Ryo of cash sealed in it."

Terumi Mei's hand holding the scroll tightened a bit.

This money was saved by her doing crazy tasks to rebel, and she had been saving it for several years by being frugal.

"I know I need to gain your trust first, so I'll just say it. I want to cooperate with you. I also believe that a heroic man like you will not leak this out."

Terumi Mei gritted her teeth.

She didn't want to miss such a powerful force.

She decided to go all out.

She said: "I want to invite you, Whitebeard, to overthrow the blood mist rule of the Fourth Mizukage! My goal is to end the blood mist policy and make Kirigakure Village return to normal!"

"Whitebeard-sama, when you first arrived in the Land of Water, you should have also seen some of the conditions of the Land of Water. Not only is Kirigakure Village, but the whole country has become deformed."

"The problem originates from a blood mist policy!"

"Gurara! So you mean, you want to hire the Whitebeard Pirates to help you rebel?"

"Uh....."

Terumi Mei hesitated.

Still nodded.

"...Yes."

"Stupid son, what do you think?" Whitebeard didn't talk to Terumi Mei anymore, but asked Naruto, who had just turned six, with a smile.

Naruto didn't expect that Pops would throw this question to him.

Terumi Mei also didn't expect Whitebeard to let a little kid think about such a serious issue.

Is this Whitebeard taking this matter seriously?

Moreover, even if a little kid's suggestion were to be genuinely put forth, would this suggestion become well-considered? Would Whitebeard listen?

Isn't this the same as empty talk?

Terumi Mei's face darkened.

She probably understood.....

This may be a very tactful way of refusal by Whitebeard.

The other party doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water of Kirigakure Village.

It seems.....

The cooperation failed.

And Naruto was scratching his head at this time.

His little brain was thinking hard.

"Pops, we still lack some money to build the Moby Dick. If we could have money, we could build the ship!"

Naruto's idea is very simple.

At this age, he won't have any roundabout ideas.

"Pops, maybe....we can help them?" Naruto said weakly: "In this way, we will have money."

"Put on some momentum! Stupid son!" Whitebeard scolded: "You are the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates! Don't let others look down on our Whitebeard Pirates!"

Naruto quickly shouted loudly: "Pops, I think we should cooperate with them and get the treasure needed by the pirate group from them!"

"Gurararararara! That's how it should be! Stupid son!"

Whitebeard grinned, and under Terumi Mei's stunned gaze, he boldly said: "In that case, the Whitebeard Pirates will take on this job! After all, this is the decision of the captain of the first team appointed by me, Whitebeard! Gurarararararara!"

This is.....

Isn't this a bit too childish?

A decision made by a small child....

And Whitebeard agreed?

Ah, this?

Terumi Mei was a bit dazed, but she knew this was good news. She came here this time and actually pulled the Whitebeard Pirates into her camp!

It seems...

It went smoother than she imagined.

"Phew!" Terumi Mei breathed a sigh of relief, she showed a slight smile, and said: "In that case, let me tell Whitebeard-sama about our plan..."

"No!" Whitebeard interrupted: "The moment you cooperate with the Whitebeard Pirates, all of your plan is cancelled."

"Aah?"

Terumi Mei was taken aback.

"Gurararara!"

Whitebeard's hearty laughter carried a bit of Conqueror's Haki overflow, he said to Terumi Mei, whose face changed: "Kirigakure brat, this... is the premise of cooperating with the Whitebeard Pirates! Everything is up to the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Or, you can also fight for the right to speak for yourselves, and have a mutual greeting that belongs to the men of the sea!" Whitebeard raised Murakumogiri and heavily planted the tail end on the ground.

"Make a choice!"

"Kirigakure brat!!"
