11 Chapter 11: Whitebeard's Dream! The New Whitebeard Pirates!
"Pops, why won't Grandpa Hokage let me have a family?" Naruto's face was filled with confusion. He couldn't understand why his usually kind Grandpa Hokage was being so harsh today.
It even made him feel like Grandpa Hokage was a bit unfamiliar.
"Gurararara! Who cares?" Whitebeard said, "Anyway, this Hokage won't last long."
Naruto was taken aback. "Why not?"
Whitebeard laughed heartily, "Because my foolish son is going to become the Hokage! When new Hokage takes office, doesn't the old Hokage step down?"
"Do you think I can become the Hokage?" Naruto's eyes lit up.
"Foolish son, this is your dream, aren't you questioning your dream?" Whitebeard said. "When you talk about your dream, don't doubt it.
You should say it like this: "I will become the Hokage, I definitely can, I will, for sure! That's what it means to be a man on the seas!"
Naruto was very excited about it.
He clenched his fist and shouted, ignoring that they were on the street, "I will definitely become the Hokage of Konohagakure!"
"Gurararara! Good! That's the spirit!" Whitebeard was very pleased. "You're truly my son!"
Riding on Whitebeard's shoulders,
Naruto suddenly became curious, "Pops, what's your dream? Is it also to become the Hokage?"
Whitebeard shook his head.
"I'm not interested to be the Hokage here. If you want to talk about dreams... I do have a few."
Under Naruto's expectant gaze,
Whitebeard spoke, "Family, treasure, and a pirate crew! That's my dream! I want to have more sons in this place. I want to bring back some treasure from this place, and I want to rebuild my pirate crew in this place."
Whitebeard didn't care about titles like "World's Strongest Man," "Yonko," or "Hokage."
He only cared about these three things.
"Family" was something he had longed for since childhood. So, after setting sail, he adopted many orphans from the seas and built a very large family.
When he came to the Ninja World, Whitebeard lost his family. He also couldn't find a way back home for now, so he wanted to find some family again.
As for "treasure," Whitebeard wasn't particularly keen on it, but he had always been thinking about his hometown, which had suffered great damage during the war.
The treasure he plundered on the seas would be sent back to his hometown for its reconstruction.
And "pirate crew," Whitebeard believed that if he wasn't the Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, then he was not a Whitebeard.
He wants to rebuild the Whitebeard Pirates in the Ninja World.
He looked forward to the day he would find his way back and bring the "New Whitebeard Pirates" to meet Marco and the others.
*Cough, cough, cough...* Suddenly, Whitebeard coughed heavily, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Pops, what's wrong?" Naruto noticed something was off.
Whitebeard shrugged it off with a wry smile. "People do grow old. I'm already 72 years old, just a minor health problem."
While he said this out loud, he added a new goal for himself in his heart.
---Find a way to regain his health.
He really wanted to see his foolish son grow up day by day. He didn't want to miss that moment.
Speaking of which, this place is called the Ninja World...
Is the medical level here good?
"Naruto!" Sensing that the concern in Naruto's eyes hadn't dissipated, Whitebeard changed the topic with a smile. "Do you know what kind of conditions you need to meet to become the Hokage?"
Indeed, the word "Hokage" had a great impact on Naruto.
The topic was successfully shifted.
Naruto answered earnestly, "You have to uphold the Will of Fire, be exceptionally skilled in ninjutsu, be a powerful ninja capable of ensuring everyone's safety, and you can't go hungry every day. I think going hungry won't make you the Hokage. Lastly, you need to earn the village's respect."
"Grandpa Hokage is highly respected by the villagers, and even his face is carved on the Hokage Rock."
"Is that so?" Whitebeard didn't understand what the Will of Fire was.
But he could mostly categorize the rest as - whoever has the biggest fists becomes the Hokage.
That seemed simple enough!
It looks similar to the pirates, whoever has the biggest fist is the Yonko,
At this point,
Naruto grumbled, "But Grandpa Hokage is unwilling to teach me ninjutsu. He said he would enroll me in the ninja academy when I turn six, and only then can I learn ninjutsu."
"Ninjutsu, is that the kind of trick where you breathe fire and water?"
Whitebeard laughed. "Gurarararararara! I thought it was something like Devil Fruit abilities."
"Devil Fruit abilities?" Naruto scratched his head.
Whitebeard, his dad, sometimes used words that sounded new and strange to Naruto, leaving him puzzled about their meanings.
Suddenly, Naruto's eyes lit up,
and he turned to Whitebeard. "Pops, are you a ninja too? You must be a very skilled ninja! Otherwise, you wouldn't have defeated those three Uchiha Police so easily."
"Pops, can you teach me ninjutsu?" Naruto asked eagerly.
"I'm not a ninja, and I don't know ninjutsu," Whitebeard replied.
Before Naruto could show disappointment, Whitebeard continued with a hearty laugh, "But, I can teach you something else that won't be much worse than those ninja techniques!"
"But, Naruto," Whitebeard's smile held a deeper meaning, "Are you prepared?"
"Of course!" !!
Naruto shifted from sitting to standing, trembling as he stood on Whitebeard's shoulder.
He puffed out his chest and declared loudly,
"Pops!, I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm ready!"
"Gurararara!" Whitebeard chuckled. "Don't regret it, you foolish son of mine!"
.....
One hour later, outside of Konohagakure.
"Po-Pops, are you really going to do this? This could kill me, right?" Naruto's ambitions faded and his lips quivered in a pained expression. "Is this really okay?"
"What's wrong??" Whitebeard furrowed his brow. "That's how I trained back in the day!"
You see
Naruto was suspended upside down from a tree, his legs tightly bound by ropes, forming an inverted posture.
However, it wasn't a complete inversion.
Naruto's body formed an "L" shape while his waist hung in the air.
"Pops, my stomach hurts so much!" Naruto was drenched in cold sweat, and this position was unbearable after just one minute. His abdominal muscles were in pain.
But he didn't dare to lower his back because beneath his lower back was a Murakumogiri.
If he lowered his back...
It would be cut in half!
