12 Chapter 12: When Little Naruto Encounters Pirate-Style Physical Training

"Hey, hey, hey... are you trying to kill Naruto?? Even the Root members from the village don't go this crazy right?" Kakashi, hiding in the shadows, was breaking out in a cold sweat as he watched the scene unfold.

Kakashi knew he hadn't paid much attention to Minato's son, but he felt a pang of guilt when he received the Third Hokage's orders to look after Naruto. .

He didn't want anything to happen to Naruto.

But...

But the situation before him was far from safe. If He let his guard down for even a moment, Naruto's life could be in danger!

Is this a training or a murder attempt?

"What?" Suddenly, Kakashi's heart tightened. He saw that Whitebeard seemed to casually glance in his direction, and that glance caused Kakashi's pupils to contract.

Did he find me?

What kind of terrifying perception was this?

Is he a sensory-type ninja?

In fact, from the moment Kakashi arrived here, Whitebeard had noticed someone approaching. But he didn't expose Kakashi; to him, it was just a little devil peeking.

Whitebeard said to Naruto, "Foolish son, I've told you before, there's no room for regrets. Just hold on for five more minutes!"

"Five minutes!??" Naruto almost fainted upon hearing that.

"Pops, I'm only five years old!" Naruto's abdomen muscles were about to tear, and he was in excruciating pain.

The pain contorted his young face.

But just when he was about to give up and lower his body, he felt something sharp touch his back, and his clothes were cut off.

Haaaaah... !!!

Naruto was scared to death.

There was a sword below! ! !

His strong survival instinct forced him to lift his body again, and the pain in his abdominal muscles intensified, causing tears to stream down his face.

"Gurararara!" Whitebeard encouraged Naruto, "Foolish son, you're doing great! Don't underestimate yourself. When I was five years old, I could kill tigers with my bare hands!"

Five minutes may sound short, but for Naruto, it felt like an eternity.

"Pops, I can't take it anymore!" Naruto cried out in despair, and he saw his back about to hit the Murakumogiri.

Whitebeard reached out

and caught him effortlessly.

"You're too weak," Whitebeard said with disdain. "Even the weakest son on my ship is a hundred times stronger than you."

Naruto couldn't even speak at this point, gasping for air with each breath.

He had survived!

Haaaaaa!

"Did I... Did I make it through the last five minutes, Pops?" Naruto finally managed to speak after catching his breath.

Whitebeard replied, "You endured for ten minutes."

"Good job!" "Hmm? 'Huh???'

Naruto was dumbfounded.

Ten minutes?

"Foolish son, there's some mysterious power in your body!" Whitebeard said this not without a reason.

Naruto wasn't aware that he had nearly given up numerous times, and his abdominal muscles were on the verge of dissolving.

At crucial moments, Whitebeard could see flashes of orange light, imperceptible to the naked eye, emanating from Naruto's body.

This orange light carried an ominous aura and was tainted with an evil presence.

This strange power allowed Naruto, who should have been unable to hold on, to persist. Whitebeard now had a better understanding of why Naruto was known as the "Demon Fox"

There was something within Naruto!

That something...

Was exceptionally Strong!

He also understood why the Third Hokage was so concerned and eager to take Naruto away.

Naruto's power was exceptionally formidable.

It was like an ancient weapon, and Konohagakure wanted to have this weapon under its control, which explained the strong reaction from the Third Hokage.

However, this gave rise to other questions.

Since Naruto was not just an ordinary orphan, with his special identity and constitution, along with his parents being heroes of the Konohagakure, why was he treated this way by the Konohagakure?

What was Konohagakure's Higher Ups thinking?

Whitebeard couldn't comprehend it.

If Naruto had been on the Marine's side, he would have been groomed as the next Marine hero at the Marine Headquarters, given his special abilities.

Whitebeard knew Sengoku very well, and he could see that his old rival would definitely do this.

He saw a very clear difference

"Nine-Tails' power has been discovered! He realized that Naruto is the Jinchuriki!" Kakashi took a deep breath, ready to intervene if Whitebeard made any suspicious moves to save Naruto.

However,

Whitebeard's next response left Kakashi baffled.

"Gurararara! Foolish son, you possess a very unique power. It seems like you don't even realize the potential within you," Whitebeard said, ruffling Naruto's head. "Your Grandpa Hokage seems to be hiding something from you."

"My power? My potential?" Naruto, lying on the ground, was puzzled but seemed to grasp the situation. "Pops, are you saying I'm a genius?"

"Gurararara!" "Of course! You remind me of Marco," Whitebeard grinned. "With your unique potential, it's a waste not to make the most of it."

"Marco?" Naruto was taken aback.

"He's my other son and the captain of the First Division of the Whitebeard Pirates," Whitebeard introduced.

"I see! So he's my big brother?" Naruto exclaimed. "So, I have another family member?"

"Gurararara!" "More than one!"

Whitebeard laughed. "You have thousands of family members!"

"Thousands?!" ! !

Naruto was shocked!

"But, activating your potential isn't easy," Whitebeard said, crossing his arms. He looked down at Naruto. "It seems to be triggered when you're on the brink of death."

"So, what does that mean?" Naruto suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It means, you foolish son, get up and continue your training!"

Whitebeard smiled like a demon,

sending shivers down Naruto's spine.

.....

Meanwhile,

At the Root Headquarters...

"Danzo-sama, we've found out why the Hokage is in such a hurry. It's because the Nine-Tails is acting up!" In a dimly lit place, a Root ninja knelt and reported to Danzo.

Danzo had been ignored by Hiruzen Sarutobi today,

and he was naturally furious.

However, he was also curious about what the Sarutobi were up to, hence he sent Root members to investigate.

What he hadn't expected was that they would uncover this!

"Demon fox! Namikaze Minato's son?" Danzo squinted. he asked, "Has the seal on the Nine-Tails loosened?"

"Danzo-sama, it seems the Nine-Tails' seal has not loosened," the Root ninja replied. "The reason for alarming the Hokage is that the boy has acknowledged an outsider as his 'father'!"

"Hmm?" Danzo hadn't expected this turn of events.

Minato's son, a Jinchuriki, acknowledging an outsider as his father?

Danzo sneered, "So it's like that."

"So, an outsider has laid his hands on the Jinchuriki? Monkey... Oh, Monkey! I told you to hand over the Jinchuriki to me for training, but you were so stubborn!"

"We absolutely cannot let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki fall into someone else's hands."

Danzo's eyes glimmered.
