Chapter 119: The Return of Whitebeard! Umino Iruka!

"What a gifted child!" Kisame almost blurted out the word "brat", but thinking that Naruto was already his family, he changed the word "brat" to "child".

For Kisame, who doesn't like to be polite and has a bad temper, it's not easy for him to say this word.

This also indirectly shows that Kisame's approval of Naruto a while ago was not a perfunctory attitude towards Naruto.

He truly recognized Naruto.

Kisame had no objections to Naruto killing Shimura Tokurou. How could he compete the captain of the first division of the Whitebeard pirates for the right to execute?

Kisame has a calculation in his heart.

"Half a month ago, the Wind Cutting Jutsu he used could be cracked with just a few shurikens. Half a month later, today, Naruto's Wind Cutting Jutsu has matured so much?"

Kakashi was also surprised.

As for the dead "Shimura Tokurou"? Kakashi ignored it. After all, this is just the Whitebeard Pirates executing their family law.

He couldn't interfere.

And it was even worse to stop it.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Kakashi sighed helplessly: "It seems that the task of burying one body has become burying two. However... it seems that those people can do it."

Kakashi's gaze fell on the casino in front of him.

This is a newly built casino. The previous one was destroyed by Whitebeard.

The casino looks very new at first glance.

There's just a big hole in the wall.

Through that big hole, you can see the samurai thugs in the casino, all of them looking terrified. They were so scared that they couldn't even hold the samurai swords in their hands.

When they saw Kakashi's gaze coming over, they were so frightened that they quickly threw away the samurai swords in their hands.

As far away as possible.

To show their "harmlessness"

These samurai are actually just a group of local gang members. Usually, they have the guts to lend money at high interest rates, collect debts, attacking people, and even kill... they all have the guts to do it.

But, let them face the Whitebeard Pirates head-on?

That's too much for them.

They wouldn't dare, even if they had ten times the courage!

"Hey!" Kakashi, with his dead fish eyes open, still exuded a decadent temperament, but the words he spat out carried a hint of irrefutability: "You guys, if you want to live, clean up here."

".....Yes! Yes!" The samurai thugs were sweating profusely.

They didn't dare to defy Kakashi's orders.

The group had to act quickly.

Moving the bodies, cleaning up the blood, cleaning up the scene... this series of operations looked very professional.

"Pops, I don't think we need to leave them 30 percent anymore." Naruto took a deep breath. This was not his first time killing someone, and Naruto was in a much better state this time.

"Oh?" Whitebeard laughed with interest: "Stupid son, you can just say what you want to do."

Naruto said: "Pops gave them 30 percent before, but they didn't know how to be grateful, nor did they know how to cherish it. Instead, they betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates and betrayed Pops."

"I think we can change the split with the casino from seven-three to nine-one! The Whitebeard Pirates take 90 percent of the profits, and the casino only needs to keep 10 percent."

Although Naruto is not very old.

And he hasn't been to school.

But he can still understand what seven-three and nine-one mean by thinking about these simple numbers in his head.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't know, because he has an external brain, which is the big fox in the sealing space!

As long as he praises the big fox a few times.

The big fox will teach him.

"Gurararararara!" However, Whitebeard smiled: "Stupid son, I refuse your proposal!"

"Ah?" Naruto was stunned, and he couldn't help but scratch his head: "Could it be... is my proposal a bit too much?"

"Gurarararara!" Whitebeard laughed loudly: "It's you, stupid son, who is too kind to these traitors!"

"The money that the traitor took out was 17 million, which accounted for seventy percent of the profits of this casino for more than half a year. That is to say, the annual profit of this casino is definitely not less than 30 million!"

As the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, even if Whitebeard himself has not received any education, but after running such a large pirate group for many years, and running this pirate group so well, it is known as the world's strongest pirate group...

Whitebeard is definitely not a business idiot.

"If you decide to give them nine-to-one share, then this casino can earn no less than 3 million Ryo a year." Whitebeard sneered disdainfully: "To operate a casino in a small town, they only need to 1 million Ryo a year."

Naruto was dumbfounded.

Pops.....

He's so "stingy"!

He managed to scrape 2 million Ryo from the 3 million Ryo into his pocket.

"Well.... Whitebeard." Kakashi weakly interjected: "Casinos within the Fire Country need to pay taxes, I heard that the gambling tax is as high as forty percent. That Shimura Tokurou took out 17 million, already risking not paying taxes, to be able to gather so much money to give to the Whitebeard Pirates."

"If.... if you only give the casino 1 million to operate, I'm afraid this 1 million is only enough to feed some thugs and pay some electricity bills. If the tax officer from the Fire Country comes over, the casino can't afford to pay the tax, the casino may be forcibly closed by the official request of the Fire Country."

Kakashi was explaining some laws and regulations in the Fire Country.

But he found himself being a little clown when he said this.

And he also noticed that when Whitebeard and others were looking at him, they all had a slightly strange look in their eyes.

"Alright!" Kakashi's old face turned red instantly.

"Pretend I didn't say anything."

Kakashi realized even without much thought... It's obvious that the Whitebeard Pirates would never pay taxes to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Given their style, not attacking the Daimyo is already showing leniency.

Let them pay taxes?

How is that possible!

If the tax officer of the Fire Country dares to close this casino, I'm afraid the people of the Whitebeard Pirates would dare to crush the capital of the Fire Country, and then dragging the Daimyo's corpse in the streets.

"Kakashi, it seems that you have been a Konoha ninja for a long time, so you have already forgotten.... this is a world of the survival of the fittest." Kisame sneered: "Why not take off your Konoha ninja forehead protector and join the Whitebeard Pirates directly. Having a Konoha Ninja like you following Pops always makes me want to kill you!"

"Hey hey hey! Is this your tone of inviting others to join your group?" Kakashi, with a full head of black lines, was not empty of Kisame, and retorted: "It sounds like you want to fight me."

Kisame grinned: "Indeed, I have wanted to fight Kakashi of the Sharingan for a long time. It's just that there was no chance in the Ninja War a few years ago."

"Okay, I surrender, you win."

Although Kakashi didn't think he was weaker than Kisame.

But he didn't want to fight with this kind of battle maniac.

Don't I have this time to read a little more ecchi book?

"Tsk!" Kisame felt completely unhappy: "You are really boring."

...

In the blink of an eye, it was ten days later.

Konohagakure Village.

"Just a year after joining the Ninja Academy, the Hokage let me take on the main teaching position of a new class."

Umino Iruka passed the Chunin exam a year ago and became a Chunin of Konoha.

He, who aspired to be an Academy teacher, directly joined the Ninja Academy and became a teacher in the Ninja Academy.

Ordinary teachers in the Ninja Academy do not need to be in charge of a class, they just need to teach students in one class after another.

Usually, they don't need to manage too much.

And the "main teaching position" is somewhat similar to the position of a class teacher.

And, they have to follow this class until the little kids graduate.

It takes a full six years.

It is definitely a daunting task.

Logically speaking...

A ninja academy teacher like Iruka Umino, who has only been in the Ninja Academy for a year, is not qualified to be a main teacher in a class.

At least it takes several years of training to have this qualification, right?

Iruka didn't know what the reason was.

Anyway, the Hokage found him a few days ago and named him, asking him to lead a class.

"A class of twenty or thirty children!"

Iruka thought about it and felt a headache, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, only ten years older than the group of students who just entered the Ninja Academy.

How can we calm them?

"And this list ..."

Iruka pulled out a piece of paper from his arms. It was a class roster given to him by Hokage-sama.

One familiar surname after another on the list.

It made Iruka's eyelids twitch.

"So many children of the ninja clan." This made Iruka even more headache. He knew very well how arrogant the children of those ninja clans were. Those people were not as easy to discipline as ordinary children.

In the end, Iruka's gaze fell on a name on the list.

This name made him unable to move his eyes away.

"Uzumaki Naruto..."

The familiar name made Iruka take a deep breath: "Why should this child be included in my class? Hokage-sama, is this a test for me?"

Uzumaki Naruto is known to everyone in Konohagakure Village, and it is very difficult to find a ninja who does not know Naruto.

"Father..."

"Mother..."

What's more critical is that Iruka knows very well what Naruto is. And his parents, who were Konohagakure Jonin, died in that Nine-Tails chaos, killed by the Nine-Tails fox.

At this thought, Iruka's eyes became complicated.

"Sigh!"

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out a reason.

He sighed: "Let's relax!"

Iruka reported to the two ninjas guarding the gate of Konohagakure, then walked out of the gate of Konohagakure, wanting to relax outside.

He didn't know how long he had been walking.

Unconsciously, the sun in the sky had already reached the top of his head.

The feeling of sunburn brought Iruka back to his senses.

"It's already noon." Iruka shook his head helplessly, deciding not to think so much, and just wait and see.

Iruka muttered to himself, trying to turn around: "What should I eat today? How about a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen? I heard that uncle recently launched a new ramen, I don't know if the new ramen is delicious."

But at this moment.

Iruka paused.

His gaze incredulously fixed on a direction in front of him, his not-so-large eyes getting bigger and bigger under the shock.

A few drops of cold sweat involuntarily seeped from his forehead: "That is?"

In Iruka's line of sight, he saw a "giant" with a sturdy figure, holding a big sword and approaching Konohagakure.

The "giant"'s exaggerated height, each step he took, was equivalent to a normal person walking at least five or six steps.

In the time it took for Iruka to come back to his senses.

The other party had already approached within a hundred meters.

"Whitebeard!!!" Iruka's whole body was standing on end, as a Chunin of Konohagakure, how could he not know Whitebeard?

Whitebeard has two bounties in Konohagakure!

One of them... is Konohagakure's own internal bounty, and the bounty on that bounty is 50 million.

The other... is a bounty issued jointly by the Daimyo and nobles of various countries in the ninja world, with a bounty of over 100 million.

"Hiss! It's him!" Iruka swore he would never mistake it.

In the entire ninja world, the only man who can exceed six meters in height is Whitebeard, and he has also seen Whitebeard's portrait on the bounty.

Whether it's height or appearance, it's a one-to-one match.

"He... shouldn't he be in the Land of Water?"

"Gulp...."

Iruka swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly, he knew that as a Chunin of Konohagakure, he could not show cowardice in front of a pirate.

But the fear that arises in his heart is uncontrollable.

This is like the most primitive instinct of the human body.

Like prey encountering a hunter.

"Not good! He's heading... he's heading to Konohagakure Village!" Iruka suddenly shivered, his face changed drastically after reacting: "What is his purpose in going to Konohagakure Village? This is not good, I must hurry back to inform the ninjas in the village, especially to notify the Third Hokage-sama."

But as soon as Iruka turned around.

His movement froze again.

"Konohagakure ninja, don't be so nervous!" A stranger's arm was already on Iruka's body, and a strange voice sounded from his ear. A person suddenly appeared, with a shoulder-to-shoulder posture, hooking Iruka's shoulder.

The tone of this person's speech even carried a bit of malicious mockery: "If you move a little bit, this kunai in my hand will not hesitate to stab into your head!"

Iruka, sweating profusely, moved his eyeballs to the left.

What caught his eye was an extremely strange face.

The other party did not wear the forehead protector of Konohagakure Village, nor the forehead protector of other ninja villages, and did not look like a ninja.

But, if the other party is not a ninja...

How can he approach himself silently?

"You, who are you?!"

Iruka tried to stay calm: "Here is only a ten-minute journey from Konohagakure Village. If you do something here, the ninjas of Konohagakure will soon come here."

"Me? Ha! My name is Hoshigaki Kisame." Kisame did not hide his name, but said it openly and honestly.

Because he believes that he is no longer a ninja.

But a pirate on the ship of the Whitebeard Pirates

A pirate!

Since he is a pirate and not a ninja, there is no need to hide like a ninja. He should imitate Whitebeard, bring a few points of openness and frankness of the pirates.

"Hoshigaki Kisame?" Iruka was stunned for a moment.

He felt that this name was a bit familiar

But he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Hey, can you not make trouble in Konohagakure?" Suddenly..... another voice sounded from the right: "Naruto and the others have to go to school in the Ninja School, there is no need to make the relationship with Konohagakure so stiff, right?"

Iruka moved his gaze to the right.

His eyes widened again.

"Hatake Kakashi?!"

Iruka didn't know who Hoshigaki Kisame was, but he knew Hatake Kakashi too well.

He is Konohagakure's genius ninja!

He is also Konohagakure's Jonin!

"Tsk....." Kisame rarely gave Kakashi this face, or said that this face was given for Naruto's sake.

Kisame gently patted Iruka's cheek with his palm, and he grinned and said: "Don't be too nervous, Konohagakure ninja, I won't take the life of a nameless ant."

"Of course." Every word of Kisame made Iruka sweat profusely: "You have to cooperate with us, instead of always thinking about going back to inform."

On the left is a Hoshigaki Kisame, on the right is a Hatake Kakashi, and behind is a Whitebeard.

Iruka, who had just become a teacher in the Ninja School not long ago.

Where have you seen such a lineup?

"Let's go, don't mind this guy." Kakashi's voice made Iruka feel a little relieved: "He just talks about it, he won't do anything to you. Although the Whitebeard Pirates are a pirate group, they also talk about reason and righteousness."

Iruka: "..."

Iruka didn't expect that his experience today could be so magical, his face was already a look of despair.

On the way back to Konohagakure Village, Iruka was in a daze.

He has a feeling of bringing enemies back to Konohagakure.

But the key is that there are Konohagakure ninjas in the "enemy".

So is Whitebeard an enemy or a friend?

Iruka couldn't understand.

He really couldn't understand!

"Pops! I can see the gates of Konohagakure already!" The voice from Naruto quickly sounded, and Naruto's tone was not just excited: "After leaving Konohagakure for a Whole year, and finally, I can come back to eat Uncle Ichiraku ramen!"

Huh?

Why is there a child's voice?

Iruka turned around in surprise, only to find out that behind Whitebeard, a group of children was actually following.

One blond child stood out.

Wait a minute! Isn't that...

Uzumaki Naruto?!!

Iruka's pupils contracted slightly.

The news of Naruto being taken away by Whitebeard was blocked by Konohagakure. Only the high-level officials of Konohagakure, some ninjas in the ninja clan, and some high-ranking ninjas in Konohagakure knew about this. Chunin like Iruka from the Konohagakure village did not have the authority to know.

However, Naruto is just too famous.

Iruka only needs one glance.

To recognize Naruto.

"Gurarararararara!" Whitebeard looked at the gates of Konohagakure not far away and joked in a cheerful tone, "Stupid son, you don't have to shout so loudly! You're almost made me deaf."

Kakashi, walking beside Iruka, also gazed at Konohagakure.

For some reason, Kakashi had a hint of worry.

He muttered to himself in a low voice, "Whitebeard's return, for some people in the village, is it a surprise or a shock?"

"I hope the village can be safe!"

Kakashi's last words...

Were sincerely spoken from his heart.
