Naruto, be my son.

Page 40

Let a woman who has lived for thirty or forty years and a mature person recognize a person she just met as her father.

This is too outrageous.

"Gulala!" Whitebeard didn't care about Tsunade's rejection. He smiled and said, "If you also want to join this family, the Whitebeard Pirates welcome an excellent ship doctor at any time. By then, you will be my son, my family, and a member of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Tsunade:"……"

Since she left Konoha, she has been wandering in the ninja world for many years, and there have been people who want to win her over over the years.

This includes other ninja villages.

Even some nobles.

It was the first time that Tsunade had seen someone trying to win her over in this way... inviting her to become the other person's "son" and to join the other person's big family.

family……

Tsunade was a little dazed. How many years had it been since she heard this word?

Do you want to have a family? Do you want to have a family?

To be honest, Tsunade is eager. Her desire for family is far greater than many people, and her feelings for her family are also far greater than many people.

Otherwise, he would not have had endless fear of blood because of the deaths of "Napeki" and "Kato Dan".

But she is not a child like Naruto after all.

Tsunade took a deep breath.

"Sir Whitebeard, I don't even want to be a ninja right now, let alone a pirate."

She said so.

The point is, Tsunade is a woman, how can she be a son?

and many more!

Why do you think this is the key?

Tsunade was startled.

……

late at night.

advent.

Whitebeard and his companions decided to rest in this small town for one night. After all, Whitebeard had just undergone an operation.

Both Whitebeard and Naruto slept soundly.

Only Kakashi stayed awake all night.

What Whitebeard said not only stunned Tsunade, but also affected Kakashi, an orphan of Konoha.

Ever since Kakashi's father committed suicide.

He was all alone.

Although he didn't take off his mask even when he was sleeping in bed, one could still see Kakashi's complicated expression that was hard to conceal through his dead fish eyes.

He was a little upset.

to be frank.

Without hiding from his own feelings, Kakashi admitted that he was a little envious of the little guy Naruto.

Naruto, like him, had no family and no one to whom he could have a bond in this world. Until Naruto met Whitebeard, the kid formed a deep bond with him.

It turns out.

Whitebeard did not let Naruto down, and he truly did what a father should do.

"Little white-haired boy, be my son!" - Even though Whitebeard hadn't said this for several days.

But tonight.

These words echoed in Kakashi's mind.

For a long time.

He could not forget the look of longing for family in Whitebeard's eyes when he said, "The Whitebeard Pirates are not a force, but a family."

"Really!"

Kakashi grabbed a pillow nearby.

Just put the pillow over your face.

Until the next day.

early morning.

Five o'clock.

Kakashi, with dark circles under his eyes, yawned sleepily. He didn't sleep the whole night yesterday.

The reason why he got up from bed so early was because at five in the morning, it was time for Naruto to do his self-abuse training.

"Gulala! Stupid son! Run away from me!"

Whitebeard's roar made it impossible to sleep.

"Aaaaah! Dad! I'm already running very fast!"

Naruto's screams were also hard to ignore.

This unrelated father and son are full of energy at this time of day.

Especially Whitebeard.

It was as if the operation had not taken place yesterday.

It was as if I didn't have a hangover.

So energetic!

"Hmm?" Kakashi suddenly realized something. He turned his head and looked to the side, and saw Tsunade standing next to him.

Tsunade complained speechlessly: "How can anyone sleep when they are like this? They are seriously disturbing the public!"

Even though it was very quiet last night, she couldn't fall asleep.

But that doesn't stop her from complaining.

"And..." Tsunade took in the scene in front of her.

Seeing Naruto being tortured to a half-dead state, her eyelids were twitching: "What is Whitebeard doing? Is he trying to kill Uzumaki Naruto?"

"This is their special training." Kakashi explained, "Naruto has been doing it for a long time."

After saying this.

Kakashi was suddenly startled.

right!

As far as he could remember, Naruto had been holding out for almost a month!

This kind of special training is so intense that it is no different from suicide. If a normal child trains like this, he will probably be ruined in less than a day.

But Naruto is screaming miserably now, but once he finishes training he is still full of energy and can continue his special training the next day.

"Naruto is a very strong child. He fought for his father and for his own dream of becoming Hokage..."

Kakashi praised: "He puts in two hundred times the effort of an ordinary person, and doesn't care even if he has to die for it."

Tsunade's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange color: "Naruto wants to become Hokage?"

Kakashi nodded and said, "This brat would rant a few words almost every day, saying that he must become Hokage."

"…More like it." Tsunade murmured.

"Huh?" Kakashi was stunned.

Tsunade didn't respond.

In her eyes, Naruto became more and more similar to the impression of Nawaki in her memory, both in appearance and personality.

This kind of coincidence that couldn't be more coincidental always made Tsunade feel that it was her brother who was reincarnated.

But reason told her.

That's impossible!

At this moment, Whitebeard's voice suddenly sounded: "Gulala! Stupid son! Do you want to have some actual combat? Only by fighting and getting beaten can a person become stronger!"

"Actually?" Naruto was a little shocked. "But Dad, I don't know any ninjutsu yet, and I haven't really learned any taijutsu! Dad, there's no way I can beat you!"

Although I have been doing special training for almost a month, I have been doing special training in endurance and strength during this month.

At most, I would try to extract the chakra at night.

It’s basically these three things.

Besides.

Naruto has learned nothing.

"Stupid son!" Whitebeard snapped Naruto's fingers, causing him so much pain that he almost yelled out the classic Tom Scream.

Whitebeard grinned and said, "When I say actual combat, I don't mean you have to fight me! Your father is a pirate, and you are also a pirate! When pirates run out of money, of course they have to rob!"

"Robbery?" Naruto covered his head, his eyes slightly shining: "Then won't we have a lot of treasures again?"

"Gulala! That's natural!!!"

Naruto knew Whitebeard's dream. One of his dreams was to hoard more treasures and bring them back to his hometown.

Since it is his father's dream, it is also Naruto's dream.

Naruto is very motivated about this!

"Did I hear correctly?"

Looking at the backs of Whitebeard and Naruto leaving, Tsunade was dumbfounded: "They, are going to rob?"

"Lady Tsunade, you heard it right." Kakashi had a few black lines on his forehead: "They did go to rob."

Cassie recalled something and added, "Moreover, given Whitebeard's style, it is very likely that he is not limited to robbery."

"What do you mean?" Tsunade asked in surprise.

Kakashi explained, "Whitebeard will most likely claim that this town is a territory protected by his Whitebeard Pirates. From now on, this town will have to hand over treasures to him every year. Whitebeard once said that this was a tax, but I think it's more like... the pirates are forcibly collecting protection money."

"But... Whitebeard usually doesn't attack civilians. He only attacks the rich, especially the nobles."

Tsunade:"???"

When Tsunade, Kakashi and Shizune caught up with Whitebeard and Naruto together.

They found that the father and son had already arrived at a casino in the town.

Tsunade's expression suddenly became quite subtle.

Because this casino was the one where she lost a lot of money.

And her high-interest loans were also borrowed from this place.

The group of warriors who chased her yesterday...

He is the gangster in this casino.

"Stupid son!"

Then, Whitebeard grabbed Naruto's clothes.

Under Naruto's wide-eyed expression...
