Naruto, be my son.

"Family..." Naruto began to have a deeper understanding of this simple word.

His embarrassed little face showed a bit of determination.

"Big sis! I will become very strong! As strong as daddy! Together with daddy, I will protect you and Karin!"

Naruto's voice was tender but firm and powerful: "I will become the Hokage of Konoha, and then I will bring you to Konoha Village!"

Uzumaki Feng couldn't help but be stunned.

"Ok!"

Her nose felt a little sore, and she tried hard not to cry in front of her daughter. She reached out and ruffled Naruto's hair.

"Big sister believes in you!"

Although there are only four people in the entire pirate group including Whitebeard himself, the harmonious coexistence among the crew members and the deepening bonds between family members make Whitebeard very satisfied.

This is what family is!

This is what Whitebeard pursued throughout his life on the sea.

He has a complete family on the sea.

Now, he has started to have a family in the ninja world.

"Gulala! Stupid son!"

Whitebeard smiled and laughed heartily: "I threw 310 stones at you, and you only dodged 21! Your purity is far from enough to protect my family!"

"Dad, please continue!"

Naruto took a deep breath and shouted to Whitebeard seriously, "Please train me with the momentum to kill me! I want to become the Hokage, I want to surpass the Hokage, and I want to protect my family!"

Naruto's voice became louder and louder, his tone was as firm as iron: "This is the ninja way of me, Uzumaki Naruto!!"

"Good! Very energetic!"

Whitebeard's smile became even wider, and he shouted proudly: "Then put in 200 times more effort and perseverance than ordinary people!"

The father and son shouted louder than each other.

Even many of the nearby birds were startled and flew away.

Kakashi, who was teaching Karin the clone technique not far away, felt a little dazed. Unfortunately, he even had an illusion that there were two Kais in front of him.

This man is in his seventies.

And a child who was only five years old.

Are you too excited?

next moment.

Naruto started a new round of torture. Whitebeard would not be polite to Naruto. If he couldn't even endure this little pain, he would never be a man on the sea.

What surprised Whitebeard was...

This time, after Naruto was hit by the stone, he actually endured the pain and did not cry out in pain.

Moreover, for every ten rocks he threw, Naruto dodged one.

To know.

This time Naruto was also blindfolded.

"This stupid son..."

Whitebeard held a stone in his hand and smiled with satisfaction: "What a rapid progress! He is truly a genius!"

whoosh-

Whitebeard said this, but he was not soft-hearted at all, and the stone in his hand instantly flew out of the air.

It hit Naruto's shin accurately.

"hiss!!!!"

Naruto gasped at the sharp pain.

My head was covered in cold sweat.

Tears and snot came out of my eyes because of the pain.

When another stone flew towards him, Naruto felt a vague palpitation and the skin on his forehead suddenly felt cold.

Instinctively, I quickly squatted down.

The flying stone grazed his scalp and flew backwards, but before Naruto could be happy, another stone hit his nose.

"Ow!!!"

He finally couldn't hold back and screamed out loud, and the screams one after another once again echoed in the area.

Those who hear it are sad.

The listener weeps.

"Naruto..." Kakashi saw it.

Quite absent-minded.

He found that even a five-year-old child worked harder than him.

His awareness is higher than that of an Anbu ninja like him.

"Family?" Looking at Karin who was trying hard to practice the clone technique, and then looking at Whitebeard who was constantly "torturing" Naruto.

Kakashi sighed.

His eyes were dim.

Family, that word didn't seem like a luxury he could have.

……

……

Chapter 77 Family is more reliable than the will of fire

"Hey, hey... Water Country! Hey, hey... Moby Dick! Hey, hey... Building a big ship! Hey, hey..."

When Naruto finished his sadistic training of observation Haki.

He was carrying three hundred kilograms of banknotes on his back as he hurried on.

After this extremely arduous special training, Naruto, who was only five years old, had obvious muscle lines on his body.

Naruto was sweating profusely and felt extremely tired.

But in order not to delay the progress of reaching the Water Kingdom, he could only grit his teeth and keep moving forward.

Every step is a challenge for him.

The key is……

While he was doing this combination of strength and endurance training, his father didn't allow him to use chakra.

Special training can only be done by relying on physical strength.

This is even more difficult to bear!

Fortunately, Naruto has persisted in this special training for nearly two months. Regardless of how strong he is at the age of five, his willpower is already stronger than many ninjas.

Naruto's actions actually mobilized the enthusiasm of others.

In particular, the reason why he accepted the self-abuse training was to protect those he considered "family members".

Karin, who already considers Naruto as a family member...

He was actually silently imitating Naruto's behavior.

of course.

The only thing that Karin has is probably the Uzumaki bloodline, so the gap between her and Naruto, who has a lot of things piled up on him, is naturally huge.

At first, she followed Naruto's example and carried dozens of kilograms of weight, but in less than an hour, her Uzumaki bloodline was no longer useful.

Karin obediently reduced the weight by half.

This time I can finally hold on a little longer.

Even her own daughter worked so hard. As a mother, Uzumaki Fengshi also chatted with Kakashi along the way.

The two sides were not just chatting.

But they were discussing the sealing technique!

Uzumaki Fengshi inherited a part of the sealing techniques from the Uzumaki clan, but her life was either spent wandering around or being used as a tool by the Kusagakure Village, with almost no chance to pick up the inheritance.

just now.

She finally escaped the fate of being displaced.

He has also escaped the fate of being a tool and a blood bag.

In order to be able to provide help to his father and to make himself of some use in the Whitebeard Pirates family.

Uzumaki Seal decided to ask Kakashi for advice.

And regain the sealing technique!

"Gulala! What an energetic bunch of silly kids!" Looking at the hard work of Naruto, Karin, and Uzumaki Fengshi, Whitebeard seemed to have returned to the time on the sea.

His sons on the sea also work so hard when they are on the boat.

Their efforts are not only to fulfill their dreams.

It is also to protect the dreams of my family with all my strength.

To protect the dreams of yourself and your family!

This……

That's the Whitebeard Pirates!

As Whitebeard walked, he suddenly asked, "Karin, Fengshi, what are your dreams? What do you want to do? What do you hope your future will be like?"

His words stunned both Karin and Uzumaki Fengshi.

Their dreams?

Karin, who is about the same age as Naruto, is more pure.

Or rather naive.

After walking for most of the day carrying a 30-kg load, Karin, whose face was pale from exhaustion and who was supported entirely by her whirlpool bloodline, thought seriously for a few seconds.

Then she replied to Whitebeard: "Dad, I want to be with you forever! I want to be an excellent female ninja!"

Although Uzumaki Fengshi is a very young mother.

But she is an adult after all.

She thought for a full half minute before taking a deep breath and speaking with determination, "Since the fall of the Whirlpool Country, my life has been like a walking corpse. It wasn't until Karin, you and Naruto appeared that my world began to see beams of light that made me 'wake up'."

"I don't have a dream of my own. The only thing I want to do is to protect my father's dream, Karin's dream, and Naruto's dream... In other words, it is to protect the dreams of my current family and future family members."

"And the future I hope for is one where no one in my family is missing. Even if it means sacrificing my life, I will ensure that no one in the Whitebeard Pirates is missing!"

Adults who have experienced countless dark times talk about their dreams.

Eventually the topic will become heavier.

White Beard suddenly placed his fingers on Uzumaki Fengshi's head, under Uzumaki Fengshi's stunned and surprised look.

Whitebeard smiled and said, "Stupid daughter, how can children of the sea not have their own dreams? Don't let this twisted ninja world affect your heart!"

His words made Uzumaki Fengshi completely stunned.

in case……

Ignore all kinds of darkness in the ninja world.

So what do you want to do?

In other words, what was your dream when you were displaced and before you joined the Kusagakure Village?
