Naruto, be my son.

Naruto took the initiative to introduce the names of his family members to Uchiha Izumi.

"I know your name is Uchiha Izumi, hehe..."

Naruto scratched his head and said, "Because Shisui has already mentioned it to me."

"Oh, right!"

Naruto seemed to have remembered something again: "You probably don't know what dad's name is yet, right?"

Uchiha Izumi was about to say that he knew.

But she suddenly reacted.

She only remembered that Whitebeard was nicknamed Whitebeard, but her memory of Whitebeard's real name was very vague. I only vaguely remember having a quick glance at the reward notice, but I didn't remember it.

I remember my father's name being very long.

It should be at least five or six words.

Quan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Hahaha! It's okay!" Naruto said embarrassedly: "When I first met my father, I couldn't remember his name... but now I can definitely remember it! Dad, he Called 'Edward Newgate'!"

"He is the best dad in the world, and in the ninja world, bar none! You will never regret joining the Whitebeard Pirates, nor will you regret becoming a family with us!"

Naruto's passionate words made Uchiha Izumi find a sense of belonging to the Whitebeard Pirates.

After all, Quan is still worried. Although her father has accepted her as his daughter, how can she get along well with her new family?

Naruto's enthusiasm made Uchiha Izumi know that he didn't seem to need to worry about these things.

Quan wiped the tears from his face again.

This time it was finally wiped clean.

"Edward Newgate, is this my father's name? I remember it! Then..."

She bowed ninety degrees to Naruto and others: "Then I'll ask for your advice from now on!"

"Quan, there's no need to be so formal."

Although Zhisui couldn't see Quan's movements, he could still guess what Quan was doing based on Quan's tone and words.

He smiled and said: "You are the protagonist of the Whitebeard Pirates' banquet tonight, you have to show some confidence as the protagonist of the banquet!"

"and……"

Shisui paused and continued: "In this welcoming banquet, all the surviving Uchiha clan members can also participate."

The amount of information contained in Shisui's words is also very large.

Although Whitebeard only accepted Uchiha Izumi as his daughter, he has not accepted other Uchiha survivors as his children for the time being.

But his words have already shown that the Whitebeard Pirates have decided to protect the Uchiha people.

That's why they were invited to the banquet.

Let them also participate in this party!

So...

The temporary residence of the entire Whitebeard Pirates began to become lively. The sadness and depression that were still lingering were wiped away by a banquet forced by Whitebeard.

Because there were a lot of people attending this banquet today, there were eighty or ninety people in total.

The wine and meat that the Whitebeard Pirates bought in Konoha these days...

All of them have been moved out by Kisame.

There must be at least several tons of meat!

There must be several tons of wine!

Bundles of bonfires were burning at the temporary base of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Looking down from the sky, it looks like little sparks.

The survivors of the Uchiha clan who were dragged into the banquet did not expect that at the moment when they were the saddest and most helpless... the Whitebeard Pirates would drag them into the banquet.

One by one, the adult Uchiha tribesmen were drinking heavily to numb the sadness in their hearts.

Drink in memory of deceased loved ones.

Also use wine to usher in a new life.

Minors who cannot drink alcohol are holding cups of juice. They are very young and do not understand all this.

Many of them don't even know why their parents died like this?

Why did their Uchiha begin to move around?

No one answered the doubts in my heart.

After all, some truths are too harsh for them.

But the warm atmosphere of the banquet still made their dazed and helpless little faces finally reveal a somewhat reassuring smile.

Even the youngest child, holding his pacifier in his mouth, looked curiously at the barbecue in front of him that was being roasted by the flames until it was sizzling with oil.

At this time... Sasuke was squatting next to a tent.

This is his temporary residence.

As the son of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke is a very special one because his elder brother is Uchiha Itachi.

Even though many people know that Sasuke is also an innocent person, and even the miserable one of the Uchiha clan.

But anger towards Uchiha Itachi was always inevitable.

Although the tribesmen refrained from saying anything.

But he didn't take the initiative to communicate with Sasuke.

It's like there is a boundary with him. This boundary may disappear over time, but it is obviously not tonight.

Sasuke sat alone.

It is precisely because of this loneliness that the tent behind him is assigned to him alone, and he can live in it alone.

No one lives with him.

No one sat next to him.

until……

pat-

A small hand rested on his left shoulder, and Sasuke suddenly felt someone approaching him.

The other party also had the smell of roasted cumin, and when he started to speak, the smell of cumin became even stronger: "Look who I found? It's Uzumaki Naruto's best friend - Uchiha Sasuke clatter!"

"Hehehe!" Naruto held Sasuke's shoulder with one hand and grabbed a large handful of skewers with the other hand. He handed the handful of skewers to Sasuke: "I grilled these for you myself. Oh! Welcome to join the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Naruto regards the Uchiha clan as vassals of the pirate group.

Of course, this is actually the case.

This is not shameful for the current Uchiha clan.

Now that a powerful force dares to protect the Uchiha clan, it is the Uchiha clan's greatest luck.

after all……

No one dared to provoke Uchiha Itachi, who almost wiped out the entire Uchiha clan by himself.

For many ninjas in Konoha Village...

Uchiha has become synonymous with "misfortune" and "bad luck".

Who made their experience so miserable.

"Genocide" overnight!

"...I'm not hungry." Sasuke stared at the skewers in front of him, his throat moving up and down, but he felt a little embarrassed.

The son of the dignified leader of the Uchiha clan fell into this situation.

There was still a huge gap in Sasuke's heart.

He turned his head away, forcing himself not to look at the skewers.

"Oh, really?"

It's a pity that Sasuke can't hide all his thoughts because his emotions are written all over his face.

Naruto smiled and said: "If you don't eat it, then I will eat it!"

Naruto made a point of eating a skewer.

And he ate with a grin on his face.

"Bah-"

"Bah-"

"Bah-"

"Gululu..." Sasuke's stomach finally couldn't bear the temptation of this kind of food. He tried very hard not to stare at the handful of skewers, but his eyes didn't listen to him.

Sasuke grabbed the handful of skewers, picked up a skewer and stuffed it into his mouth. In one fell swoop, he stuffed all the grilled meat on the skewer into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

It was as if what he was eating was not a skewer of grilled meat but Uchiha Itachi.

A large handful of skewers contains more than thirty skewers.

Sasuke was stunned.

Eat them all.

"Huh..." Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief at the slight feeling of fullness, which also swept away a lot of the haze in his heart.

"It's delicious." Sasuke said this for some reason: "Thank you, Naruto."

"Of course, I have been practicing my barbecue skills for more than a year! Besides... we are best friends, what's there to thank you for? You are hungry, and I can give you something to eat, then I’ll share it with you, isn’t that natural?”

What Naruto said was sound and logical.

"You're not a useless person who couldn't get up after being hit. You are Uchiha Sasuke who has always had the motivation and determination to surpass me!" Naruto's smile was very contagious: "You are very worthy of me. Treat it sincerely!”

Naruto's attitude was compared to that of the Uchiha survivors who, although they did not discriminate against him, chose not to communicate with him...

It's like one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

Sasuke actually didn't blame those clansmen. Because it was indeed Uchiha Itachi who killed their family, and Uchiha Itachi was indeed his brother. This relationship could not be cut off no matter what.

But Sasuke didn't expect that he had fallen into this situation.

Naruto can also treat himself with such a sincere attitude.

It is impossible to say that I am not moved.

"Naruto..." Sasuke took a deep breath, and he turned to look at Naruto next to him: "I know you really want me to come out of the shadow of last night... but as long as that man lives for one day, I will never I will come out of the shadows. Because I am shrouded in the shadows and can always maintain my hatred for him."

"He? Your brother?" Naruto said the name.

Before, when Izumi Uchiha said the word "brother" in front of Sasuke, Sasuke's reaction was very big.

Now, Sasuke didn't know why he didn't react.

Is he too familiar with Naruto?

Does it make Naruto special?

"Yeah!" However, Sasuke didn't think too much about this.

He nodded, then lowered his head and looked quietly at the bonfire in front of him, and replied: "Only by killing him can I get out of the shadows; only by killing him can I draw a clear line with him and gain the respect of other tribesmen. Recognition.”

"Then what are you going to do?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke said in a serious tone: "I need to become stronger, to become stronger at all costs, to become stronger than now, to become stronger than that man! Then, kill him!"

"Become stronger?" Naruto suddenly realized.

"Sasuke." Naruto said: "Do you have the courage to risk your life completely? Even in the process of becoming stronger... you may not have had time to kill that man, but you have already become stronger because of your desire to do so. Put yourself in a place of death.”

Naruto's words were a bit convoluted, but Sasuke thought about it for a few seconds and figured out what he meant.

"If I die before killing him, then my soul going to the underworld will never succumb to death."
