Naruto, be my son.

Both of these are abilities that are feared by the entire ninja world.

One day...

Will the Uchiha clan be as guilty as the Uzumaki clan?

Confusion flashed in Shisui's eyes.

Kisame, who was lying on Bai's back, took all of this into consideration. The Whitebeard Pirates were enjoying themselves happily, and the family atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious and harmonious, which made Kisame look complicated.

He had forgotten how many years ago, as a Kirigakure ninja, he also experienced an atmosphere similar to this.

Pity the companions who radiated kindness to him.

All died under his sword.

"This time, I get out of the blood mist and find a little bit of myself." Kisame murmured weakly: "The environment is changing, and I...should also change a little bit."

Kisame no longer wants to go back to the time when he wielded a sword against his companions.

The reason why he admired Whitebeard's heroic ambition so much.

Is it really just Whitebeard who is very powerful?

No! The real reason is Whitebeard's attitude towards his partners!

That attitude touched Kisame.

Let him admire Whitebeard.

Make him want to join in the fun.

"Gula la la la! Stupid son, after sleeping for three days and three nights, you finally woke up!" Whitebeard glanced at Kisame. In the eyes of outsiders, Kisame was covered in bandages. There was still a bit of bright red on the bandage, which was obviously bleeding.

Although the wounds on his body were all stitched up.

But it was not completely healed.

"Three days and three nights...did it take me so long to be unconscious?" Kisame took a deep breath, turned his head hard, and his eyes fell on the white beard beside him.

"Calling someone daddy is a bit awkward at first." Kisame, an honest man, said truthfully: "But after you call him a few times, I don't know why, but it becomes easier for you."

"Dad, I have been a member of the Whitebeard Pirates since three days ago, right?" Kisame asked this question.

And when he called Whitebeard "Dad".

There is no psychological pressure.

There is no awkwardness whatsoever.

He just shouted it out.

"Gu la la la!" Whitebeard laughed and said, "That's natural! I'm Whitebeard, so of course I do what I say! Although you are not a fishman, dad, I will treat you, this idiot son, as my son. They belong to the murloc clan! I had several murloc sons in the former Whitebeard Pirates!"

"The former...Whitebeard Pirates?" Kisame was stunned.

"Dad had a Whitebeard Pirates a long time ago!" the voice from Naruto rang.

Naruto, who was carrying a thousand kilograms of weight, actually spoke without much fatigue in his voice.

Seems to be used to it.

It's like carrying a thousand pounds of weight is nothing to him.

Naruto, who followed Kakashi and walked second in the team, explained to Kisame with great interest: "Dad once had a 'Whitebeard Pirates' on the sea. In our words, Say, that’s the old Whitebeard Pirates.”

"But dad said that because of a big war, he was separated from the crew of the old Whitebeard Pirates." Naruto continued: "Dad also said that the core crew of the old Whitebeard Pirates , that is, father’s sons and daughters…”

“There are as many as 1600 people!!!”

1600 people... This number made Kisame stunned for a moment.

Is this just the core crew?

There are so many?

If these people are all ninjas, even if there are many genin in them, they will be bigger than some small ninja villages, right?

If we add some non-core crew members, or some organizations that are attached to the Whitebeard Pirates, then it won't exceed 10,000 people?

But why, before meeting the white-bearded father...

Have you never heard of the Whitebeard Pirates?

Forget it, I’m too lazy to think about it that much! Anyway, since he joined the Whitebeard Pirates, he would know some things sooner or later.

Kisame couldn't figure it out for a moment...

Choose to give up thinking for the time being.

……

evening.

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

"You, are you Kakashi's ninja dog?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the puppy in front of him. He held a pipe in his mouth and said while puffing smoke, "I still remember that you came here some time ago when Naruto left the Land of Fire."

Yes, there was news about Naruto returning to the Fire Kingdom from the Water Kingdom, and Kakashi had already sent the ninja dog to deliver the news back to Konoha.

"Is there any news about Naruto this time?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen only cares about Naruto. After all, in his eyes, Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Konoha Village.

"Naruto, is he okay? Did he encounter anything strange in the Kingdom of Water?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked the key point: "Did the ninjas in Kirigakure Village find out that he was assisted by the Nine-Tailed Man?"

The one who came back to report the news was the ninja dog "Parker".

It's a very embarrassing-looking pug.

In fact, the eight ninja dogs raised by Kakashi can all speak some human words, but only Parker is the best at communicating with humans.

Mainly because it runs the fastest.

"Kakashi said Naruto is fine. He asked me to come to Konoha Village just to tell you that Naruto has returned to the Land of Fire." Parker spoke in a more old-fashioned tone than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The petite Parker plopped down on the Hokage's desk, stretched out his paws, and scratched the lice on his neck.

"Naruto has returned to the Land of Fire?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed: "When did you come back? Recently?"

"It seems to be in the past few days!"

Parker replied, and he continued: "Kakashi also said that Naruto's purpose of returning to the Land of Fire is to enter the Ninja School."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pinched his pipe and finally smiled a little.

It seems that what Mitomonyan said is right.

"Hokage" is Naruto's goal.

Naruto will not miss the ninja school in order to become Hokage, because he has instilled in Naruto the concept of "If you want to be Hokage, you must be a Konoha ninja" very early.

The prerequisite for becoming a Konoha ninja is to graduate from a ninja school, so Naruto will return to Konoha Village sooner or later.

"Where's the white beard?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly thought of a more important person, and his expression changed slightly: "Is he going straight to my leaf village with Naruto now?"

Parker nodded and said, "Yes!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened.

He has never forgotten the punch Whitebeard gave him, which made him lie in bed for more than a month.

I also spent several months in a wheelchair.

Although his body has recovered now, every time he mentions the name Whitebeard, it makes his muscles and bones ache.

"Oh, by the way, Kakashi also asked me to come back with two pieces of news."

Parker's voice attracted Sarutobi Hiruzen's attention.

The ninja dog continued: "Whitebeard may ask his sons and daughters to join the ninja school together, so that these little brats can enjoy the high-quality educational resources of Konoha Village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

Not only did he take away the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, but he also collected a group of orphans from outside. He also asked the orphans to join Konoha's ninja school and use Konoha's educational resources for free?

"And..." Parker paused, and then continued: "Uchiha Shisui is still alive, and he is rushing back to Konoha. Moreover, it was Whitebeard who saved Uchiha Shisui."

"What? Shisui is still alive?!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened, his voice rose several degrees when he spoke, and there was a bit of shock on his face.

He almost stood up suddenly.

"Yes! That's all the information Kakashi asked me to bring back." Parker complained a little: "Really, that guy keeps asking me to run errands, and he makes me run so far every time."

bang——

In the sight of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Parker turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Shisui...still alive..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was left alone in the office muttering: "Isn't Danzo's situation becoming embarrassing?"

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen temporarily handed over his roots to Mito Kaden's jurisdiction, and imprisoned Danzo, who was seriously injured, in the Konoha Prison, not to punish Danzo, but to save Danzo.

In the eyes of many people in the Uchiha clan, it was Danzo who killed Shisui, but the Uchiha clan did not have the evidence.

In order to prevent Danzo from being assassinated by the Uchiha clan.

Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to put him in a prison to allow Danzo to calm down while also allowing him to take refuge.

If Danzo is imprisoned for a year, nothing will happen to him when he is released.

Unexpectedly, Shisui was still alive.

How would Shisui view Danzo when he returned to Konoha?

Would he want to kill Danzo?

"Trouble." Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows: "Duanzo, you really caused a lot of trouble! Why is it so difficult to wipe your ass?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had completely selectively forgotten. Without his acquiescence that day, Danzo would not have faked his orders.

After all, it was possible to expose Danzo's "false transmission of orders" by sending an ANBU to speak to Shisui.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't send anyone to intervene.

He chose to watch that day.

"Whitebeard, Shisui..." Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head and looked out the window at the setting sun.

"Shisui, after being hunted by the roots of Konoha and saved by Whitebeard... can you still be an Uchiha who has good intentions towards the village? At this time, which side do you stand in your heart?"

"Don't let me down!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette.

The room was filled with smoke.

……

at the same time.

Inside the Uchiha Clan's residence.

Uchiha Itachi, who had just returned home from get off work at the Hokage Building, suddenly heard a few sounds of piercing the air coming from beside him.

He dodged like a leisurely stroll.

All escaped.

Just then... several wooden shurikens flew past Itachi's face and landed on the wall not far away. One of the shurikens actually touched one of Itachi's hairs.

"Sasuke, you've made a lot of progress!" Itachi turned to look to the left. He was worried, squeezed out a smile and said exaggeratedly: "You are even more powerful today than yesterday!"

"It's not over yet!" Sasuke shouted softly and took out a kunai, which turned out to be an iron kunai.

And it was sharpened.

Sasuke ran straight towards Itachi.

Kunai thrust forward with all his strength.

The sharp kunai pierced directly into Itachi's body. Sasuke's movements couldn't help but froze. His eyes widened. He looked up at Uchiha Itachi blankly: "Brother, why...why don't you hide away?" Huh? I...I didn't mean it. Are you okay? I-I really didn't mean it!"

Sasuke was so anxious that his eyes were misty.
