Naruto, be my son.

There are also two people with red hair who look like a mother and daughter, a cute "girl" with long black hair, and at the end there is a strange man with a shark face.

The man with the shark face was hooking a hand on the shoulder of a Konoha ninja next to him. That Konoha ninja looks a bit familiar, what is his name, Iruka?

Until the back of Whitebeard disappeared.

The two ninjas still looked at each other.

"Senior...Senior, haven't you ever fought against Whitebeard?" The new janitor swallowed his saliva and asked weakly.

"Shut up, shut up!" The elite ninja's old face turned red, and he tried to argue: "Last time, Whitebeard had no helpers. Who would have thought that this time there would be so many people around him?"

"That's right!" He reacted suddenly: "Go and inform Lord Hokage that the 'Destroyer of Nations' Whitebeard has entered the village!"

"no need."

A strange voice suddenly sounded from above the high wall, attracting the attention of the two gatekeeper ninjas.

They looked up quickly.

Then he discovered that it was actually an ANBU ninja wearing a mask!

When was this ANBU ninja there?

How long have you been there?

They didn't notice it!

"Our ANBU people have already gone to inform Lord Hokage." The ANBU ninja spoke in a calm tone: "Don't worry, Lord Hokage will not punish you. Whitebeard will take the jinchuriki back to the village, which has long been expected by Lord Hokage. among.”

"I just didn't expect..." The ANBU ninja's calm tone finally caused a stir: "The missing Uchiha Shisui, the Migaki Kisame of Kirigakure Village..."

“It’s actually here too!!”

……

Hokage Building.

"Hokage-sama!" The ANBU ninja had quickly rushed here and entered the Hokage's office directly. He immediately reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sitting on the chair: "Whitebeard has returned to Konoha with Uzumaki Naruto! At the same time, , as well as Shunshen Shisui, Mikigaki Kisame, Kakashi, and Whitebeard’s daughters.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyelids and placed the warm pipe on the table. There was still a faint white smoke floating up from the end of the pipe.

He took his time and poured out the tobacco ashes.

He picked up a new ball of tobacco and slowly stuffed it into the pipe.

He inserted a match and lit the tobacco.

After taking another beautiful puff of cigarette, Hiruzen Sarutobi clicked his tongue, and there was no sign of any fluctuation in the expression on his face: "Huh... they're all back!"

It looks like he is strategizing.

Little did he know that before this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not generally anxious. Every day he was afraid that the jinchūriki would fall into the hands of the enemy village. Even in his dreams, he would dream about such a thing.

Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But soon...

Sarutobi Hiruzen had another headache.

"Whitebeard..." The most troublesome thing is still the whitebeard.

This is an extremely unstable factor, so unstable that it is no different from the tailed beast inside Naruto.

Secondly, the existence that gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a headache was Shisui.

Shisui is still alive. Logically speaking, he should be very happy. After all, he does admire this young man.

But the point is, Danzo did those things.

This makes the matter very complicated.

"And Kisame the dried persimmon... Is he one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?" Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes: "I still remember that Kakashi never mentioned this man in the intelligence!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen guessed that it was impossible for Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen to just follow Whitebeard casually.

He guessed there were two possibilities.

First: Whitebeard, who killed the Fourth Mizukage, has completely taken control of the Hidden Mist Village. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen named Hoshigaki Kisame are now a bit like the guards of the "Mizukage".

Second: Iniki Kaki Kisame has joined the Whitebeard Pirates, and he is no longer the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village.

"No matter which of the two possibilities it is..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but take a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Not even good news for Konoha."

Whitebeard is already very powerful, and now he has a powerful helper. Who else can defeat him?

The fiasco a year ago...

Let Sarutobi Hiruzen's memory remain fresh.

……

at the same time.

Whitebeard and others who entered Konoha were already "parting ways". Kakashi had completed his task of monitoring Naruto. He wanted to report the mission to the Sandaime Hokage first and treat Naruto to a meal another day. Happy ramen.

Shisui politely said goodbye to Whitebeard and went straight to the Uchiha clan's residence. Although Itachi, as an ANBU ninja, may not be "off duty" yet, he decided to return to his family first and wait for Itachi's arrival.

Now, only Whitebeard and his sons and daughters are left.

Whitebeard entering Konoha Village naturally caused a panic.

After all, his body type is too eye-catching.

His reputation is too intimidating.

"It's... it's the 'giant'!" Some civilians of Konoha Village who had seen White Beard recognized him at a glance: "The giant... the giant is back with the 'demon fox' again!"

When the Whitebeard Pirates and others appeared in the residential areas of Konoha, the words they heard most were "demon fox" and "giant".

It's okay to call Whitebeard "Giant".

After all, giant is not a derogatory term, it is just a nickname, and it is also very vivid.

You can call Naruto a "demon fox"...

"Are you people in Konoha Village so discriminatory against Jinchuuriki?" Kisame lowered his head and looked at Uzumaki Naruto. After getting along with each other these days, Kisame also knew that Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha.

Naruto took a deep breath and showed a bright smile: "It's okay, I've been used to it for a long time. They don't know that I am a Jinchuuriki, they simply think that I am a demon fox."

"Really?" Kisame exposed Naruto's immature disguise: "Naruto, your fingers are trembling!"

Naruto:"……"

After only one year had passed, it was naturally impossible for Naruto to let go of his grudge.

Because Naruto has experienced five years of isolation and bullying.

Even excluding before the age of three, when Naruto still couldn't remember.

That was a full two years ago.

Some residual trauma in the soul...

It's not that easy to make up for.

Kisame grinned, showing his fangs, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Do you need me to help you kill them all and turn Konoha Village upside down? Although I know this It’s very troublesome, but thinking that you kid is my family, I’m quite happy to do this for you.”

"Huh? Wait, wait!" Naruto was startled by Kisame, and Naruto hurriedly stopped him: "There's no need to be so extreme, right? If you kill...kill them all, won't there be no one in Konoha?"

"Whatever I can get used to, I've already gotten used to it."

Naruto spoke calmly: "As long as they don't say it in front of me, I don't care what they say."

In fact, Naruto's temperament has changed.

Before he met Whitebeard...

Even if some villagers called him "demon fox" in front of him, Naruto wouldn't say anything. He would just go home aggrieved, cover himself in bed and cry hard.

Wait until you finish crying.

Everything feels better.

But it's different now. Although Naruto doesn't care if someone speaks ill of him in private, if someone speaks ill of him in front of him, Naruto won't accept it as he did before.

"Dad, can I go find Choji and Shikamaru?" Naruto suddenly thought of something and said to Whitebeard.

Speaking of it.

Naruto also said to Kisame, Karin, Haku, and Uzumaki Fengji: "These two are my friends in the village! By the way, there is another one named Uchiha Sasuke!"

At the mention of the word "friend", a smile appeared on Naruto's face.

"Gu la la la! You are the captain of the First Division of the Whitebeard Pirates! Idiot son!" Whitebeard also grinned: "You don't need to report to me what you want to do, just follow what you think in your heart Just do it.”

"If you have to report everything to me, dad, then how can you be on your own in the future? Idiot son! Gu la la la!" Whitebeard's hearty laughter rang out in the residential areas of Konoha.

"Okay! Dad!" The smile on Naruto's face became even brighter.

After he removed most of the weight from his body.

He ran away in a hurry.

"Naruto was also a poor child before he met his father." Uzumaki Feng looked at Naruto's little back that was gradually moving away. She murmured to herself: "He has been isolated and discriminated against since he was a child, but he can still show such Big smile.”

"The brighter his smile... the more people feel sorry for him." Uzumaki Feng glanced around the Konoha civilians who were avoiding Whitebeard like the god of plague.

"It seems that there is no difference between this kind of great ninja village and the grass ninja village. Although on the surface Konoha is more glamorous than the grass ninja village, it is also covered with a glossy skin of the five great ninja villages."

"But... deep down, it is no different from the Grass Ninja Village." Uzumaki Feng clan commented sharply on the Leaf Village.

After all, she didn't have a great impression of Konoha to begin with.

"This is the essence of Ninja Village!" Kisame believed deeply: "It is dark, bloody and disgusting to the core."

Kisame's eyes became more bloodshot.

He recalled his experience in Kirigakure.

"Dad...can my mother and I take a walk in Konoha Village?" Descendants of Uzumaki like Xianglan who have not experienced the destruction of the Kingdom of Uzumaki actually don't have much negative feelings towards Konoha Village.

"Go!" Whitebeard said with a smile: "Remember to buy some wine for dad on the way! I want the strongest wine! The strongest!"

"Okay! Dad!"

……

The residence of the Nara clan.

"Shadow Mimicry!!!"

Nara Shikamaru, the son of the head of the Nara clan, although he has not yet entered the ninja school, was "forced" by his family to master the family's secret ninjutsu.

The dark shadow under his feet was like a sharp arrow, rushing forward quickly, spreading to the soles of Choji's feet in the blink of an eye.

"Hey! Shikamaru, I... can't move!"

Choji's eyes widened.

"Idiot Choji! That's because you were hit by my shadow imitation technique." Shikamaru held a wooden kunai in his hand. He held the wooden kunai and threw it in the direction of Choji.

Under the control of the shadow imitation technique, Dingci actually made the same action, but Dingci did not have any weapons in his hands.

whoosh-

Snapped!

"Ouch! It hurts, Shikamaru!" Choji couldn't help but scream, and the wooden kunai hit Choci's forehead accurately.

It gave him a red mark on his forehead.

The pain caused Choji to scream repeatedly.

"Alas..." Shikamaru sighed and released the shadow imitation technique. He said helplessly: "Chouji, you can't do this... The ninja school will start soon. If you can't even deal with me, How do you win over the geniuses of other ninja clans?"

Dingci was carefully rubbing the red mark between his eyebrows. He grinned at Shikamaru and said, "I don't like fighting. My dad told me... As long as I can graduate successfully, even if I am at the bottom. It doesn’t matter.”

"You're such a big-hearted guy!" Shikamaru also smiled: "But that's right... I just need to graduate in six years."

"Huh?" Suddenly, Shikamaru's expression changed.

He immediately covered the back of his head and looked back suddenly: "Hello? Who poked me?!"

But he found that there was no one behind him.
