Chapter 168: Protecting the Family as Motivation! Each Crew Member's Strength Increases!

"To become stronger, besides undergoing masochistic special training, you also need to eat a lot of meat! Like me, I need to eat at least 20 to 25 kgs of meat every day!"

Naruto's thinking has completely "Whitebeard-ized."

His stomach has also been trained by Whitebeard into a 'pirate' stomach.

Normal kids, let alone eating 25 kgs of meat, even if they eat five pounds of meat in a whole day, they would probably be stuffed to death.

But Naruto himself doesn't know why, he eats so much, but only feels a very uncomfortable feeling of fullness.

Apart from that, there is no other feeling.

And that uncomfortable feeling of fullness, as long as he undergoes a little bit of death training, it will be digested soon.

"So, 'eating' is also part of the special training plan.

Naruto said to Sasuke with a serious tone: "However, Sasuke, you just started special training, you don't need to eat as much as me, today you can just eat 2.5 kgs of meat."

Sasuke didn't even have the strength to reply.

He was pulled out of the tent by Naruto at five o'clock this morning.

He ran around the entire Konohagakure for a full 10 laps.

Then he started doing push-ups with weights.

Then it was inverted push-ups with weights.

Sasuke had no idea how he managed to hold on.

He vaguely remembered that when he was about to be exhausted.

Naruto would put his hand on his shoulder.

A strange and cold chakra merged into his body.

Sasuke inexplicably regained his strength.

He felt that he had been hovering between life and death all morning and afternoon.

Every time he was about to fall and "die", Naruto would reach out and pull him back.

But every time he wanted to rest, Naruto would kick him to the edge of the underworld.

Sasuke was numb.

Then, he looked weakly at the thick eyebrows next to him.

This thick eyebrow also joined their special training queue.

And Sasuke found that this guy was actually more persistent than himself.

"Sasuke, Rock Lee is much better than you!" Naruto pointed out: "You don't have weights, he has weights on his body. And you're so tired that you can hardly speak, Lee looks a bit better than you!"

Naruto frowned and added: "Why are you so 'weak'?"

Sasuke: "....."

"Hmph!" Sasuke snorted lightly, forcing himself to say: "I just don't want to talk nonsense."

When he said this, Sasuke's throat was about to hurt.

However, he was also a little curious about Lee.

This guy claimed to be just a loser in the class, right? Where can you find a loser with such amazing perseverance?

Sasuke could actually see that Lee's physical fitness was actually similar to his own.

But Lee's willpower...

It's exaggerated to the extreme!

He couldn't hold on several times during the special training, and it was Naruto who helped him in some unknown way.

And he knew that Naruto didn't help Lee, it was all Lee's hard work, holding on and persisting.

How amazing is this willpower?

"Here we are!" Naruto's voice rang out, interrupting Sasuke's thoughts: "Konohagakure Akimichi clan barbecue shop! I came here to eat a barbecue with Pops more than a year ago, and it was Kakashi-sensei who paid for us at that time."

"Today, let me treat you two to a barbecue!" Naruto grinned, he patted his pocket, and there was a bulging wallet in his pocket.

"Nawa... Nawaki?"

"Naruto?!"

But at this moment, Naruto heard someone calling his name.

He looked up in confusion.

He saw a stranger.

But Naruto had a special intuition that the person seemed familiar.

"Huh?" Naruto scratched his head: "Do you know me?"

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Naruto was a bit embarrassed, he remembered his 'fox demon' identity, and muttered: "It seems that there are few people in the village who don't know me."

Tsunade and Naruto met in front of the Akimichi clan's barbecue shop.

This was Tsunade's second time seeing Uzumaki Naruto.

She found that Naruto seemed to have grown a bit.

The key is, Naruto's face looked more like a Nawaki.

So much so that she just hallucinated him as her younger brother, Nawaki.

Tsunade gathered her thoughts, she didn't pinch her girlish voice, and began to speak in her original voice: "Can you tell who I am by this voice?"

"Huh? The voice has changed!" Lee on the side was very shocked, so shocked that he was a bit outspoken: "From a very young voice, it has become an old voice.....ah!!!

Bang!!!

Tsunade appeared in front of Lee in an instant.

A punch came down from above, hitting Lee's head, and directly knocked Lee over.

Lee screamed in pain.

Tsunade's young girl's face was full of angry expressions, and her forehead was even more blue: "Stupid kid! You should learn how to praise a woman's beauty!"

Tsunade's angry and even somewhat annoyed voice made Naruto's eyes widen.

Not too long ago, memories surged into Naruto's heart.

He remembered whose voice this was.

"You are! Aunt Tsunade!"

"Ughhh!?" Tsunade clenched her fist and turned her head to stare at Naruto, her twisted expression on her face was even more terrifying than a murderer: "Hey hey, Uzumaki Naruto, what are you talking about?"

Tsunade rubbed her hands together.

A bit eager to try.

"I'm sorry!" Naruto immediately bowed and apologized. He respected Tsunade, who had treated Pops, a Konohagakure Sannin.

Because, if it wasn't for Tsunade's treatment of Whitebeard, I'm afraid Whitebeard would still be troubled by the dark disease.

"Hmph! You little kid know your place. For the sake of your Pops, I'll give you a chance!"

Tsunade put her hands on her hips and gave a light hmph!

This posture is not at all like a forty-year-old aunt.

If you don't know, you might think she is really a teenage girl.

"Aunt...Tsunade, why did you change like this? Why did you come back to Konohagakure?" Naruto was a bit curious and puzzled.

Tsunade pouted: "Isn't it because your Pops runs around all day, you don't know how long I've been following him behind. As for why I want to change into this look, of course, there are a few old things in this village that I hate very much."

Tsunade didn't give any face to Konohagakure.

She complained unabashedly: "If those old guys knew I was back, they would definitely want to keep me in Konohagakure, and even want me to get involved in some ninja affairs."

The "rebellion" level of Konohagakure Sannin can be sorted like this:

Orochimaru is definitely the first.

And Tsunade is the second.

Jiraiya is the last.

If it weren't for the special interest in the patient Whitebeard.

Tsunade wouldn't even get close to Konohagakure village within fifty kilometers.

Her feelings for Konohagakure have not disappeared.

But she has no feelings for the higher-ups.

"It hurts....." Lee got up holding his head.

There was a big bump on his head.

"Tsk!" Looking at Lee and Sasuke, Tsunade could tell their condition at a glance, and she was a bit puzzled: "Why do these two little devils look like they've overdrawn their bodies with high intensity? A few battles wouldn't be like this, right?"

"Because they've undergone special training!" Naruto said confidently: "It's a special training plan that I made for them!"

"Special training?" Tsunade suddenly remembered that she had once seen how Whitebeard trained Naruto.

She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.

Looking at the two little devils, her eyes were filled with a bit of pity: "Are these two new sons that old man Whitebeard has taken in?"

"Oh, that's not the case."

Naruto scratched his head.

But he added in his heart: But they will be sooner or later.

Sasuke and Lee are both people Naruto wants to recruit.

"He's called Uchiha Sasuke! He's from the Uchiha clan!"

Naruto began to introduce to Tsunade: "His name is Rock Lee, he's also a very powerful guy, he's very hardworking!"

"Sasuke, Lee, this is Tsunade-sama!" Naruto whispered: "She's the legendary Konohagakure Sannin!"

Tsunade, with a bit of arrogance, lifted her chin towards the two little kids.

She was ready to accept the shocked reaction from the two younger generations of Konohagakure.

Lee covered his head: "I've never heard of that name....."

"Who?" Sasuke was even more shocked.

Tsunade: "....."

It's not their fault, Tsunade has been away from Konohagakure for more than twenty years, who of the new generation knows the Konohagakure Sannin?

The reason Naruto knows Tsunade's identity.

It was also mentioned by Kakashi to Naruto.

"What's the matter with those old guys?" Tsunade complained to herself: "We Sannin are also a bit famous, right? Don't they include us three in the curriculum of the ninja school? These little kids, they don't even know the Konohagakure Sannin."

Then.

Tsunade, Naruto, Sasuke, and Lee walked into the barbecue shop.

And these four people just happened to make up a table.

In the eyes of outsiders, it's just a girl in her teens, bringing three "little brothers" to eat barbecue.

Tsunade and Naruto sat on one side.

Lee and Sasuke sat across.

"Naruto, is your Pops still in Konohagakure?"

Tsunade picked up a grilled chicken leg, lifted her foot directly onto the chair, and her posture looked very bold.

She turned her head and asked Naruto next to her: "Since you are in Konohagakure, Whitebeard should also be in Konohagakure, right?"

"Yeah!" Naruto asked a bit puzzled: "What's up?"

Tsunade gnawed on the grilled chicken leg and said: "I'm going to completely cure him."

Naruto: "!!!"

Tsunade's words.

Shocked Naruto.

His face was full of surprise and excitement: "Really... really?"

"Of course" Tsunade casually put the chicken bone aside, then with one hand she hugged Naruto over, and smiled slyly: "But you also know that there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world, right?"

The teenage form of Tsunade couldn't give Naruto a face wash.

The two of them looked like a pair of siblings.

Even their hair color looked somewhat similar.

Naruto muttered: "But for us pirates, isn't there a free lunch everywhere?"

Tsunade didn't know if this little kid was pretending to be stupid or really stupid.

She raised her hand and flicked Naruto's forehead.

"Fool! What I mean is 'money'!" Tsunade said nonchalantly: "Last time... I lightly took 10 million from you guys, this time I'll take another 10 million, that shouldn't be too much, right?"

On the other side, 

"Brother Shisui, are you sure you want to do this?"

Uchiha Izumi was a bit hesitant.

"Yes, don't be polite to me." Shisui stood in an open space, his eyes unable to see anything. He spoke to Uchiha Izumi in front of him: "Just come at me."

"...Okay!" Uchiha Izumi slowly took a deep breath.

A pair of beautiful eyes flashed with determination: "Then Brother Shisui, be careful, I will use all my strength!"

As soon as Uchiha Izumi's words fell, she unhesitatingly threw two round stones in her hand at Uchiha Shisui.

Whoosh...

Whoosh...

Two flat stones the size of half a palm, at the moment they flew out, they were like two shurikens.

Shisui faintly heard the sound of the stones breaking through the air.

He quickly dodged to one side.

Uchiha Izumi had just thrown two stones at him and he had just avoided them, but the next moment what greeted Shisui was a continuous "attack", stones flying like a sudden rainstorm.

Shisui, who did not have Observation Haki, could only dodge by relying on his own hearing and intuition.

But there were too many stones flying at him.

Even if Shisui had been through many battles, he could not avoid being hit.

And he was hit more than once.

Yes, Shisui is now practicing Observation Haki.

This is a training method that Whitebeard told him.

Whitebeard told him that Naruto awakened Observation Haki in this way.

Shisui didn't know if he could do it.

But he had to try.

"Stop!" Shisui, who was already covered in wounds, hurriedly shouted stop. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly at Uchiha Izumi: "Izumi.....you really didn't hold back! How many times was I hit just now? How many times did I dodge?!"

Uchiha Izumi quickly replied: "Brother Shisui, from a total of one hundred stones, you dodged sixty-four, and were hit thirty-six. Among these thirty-six stones, twelve stones hit your vital points accurately."

"Huh.....only dodged that much? It seems that there is still a long way to go to awaken Observation Haki!"

Shisui let out a breath, he said to Uchiha Izumi: "Then continue!"

"Huh?"

Izumi worried: "But Brother Shisui, you are already injured, shouldn't we treat the wound first?"

Shisui shook his head: "It's okay, continue."

After the night of the Uchiha clan's extermination, Shisui knew that if he didn't practice Observation Haki, his strength would be greatly reduced, and he would not be an opponent when facing a strong enemy.

In the situation of losing his eyes, even if he was only facing an ordinary Jonin, he might not lose for a short time.

But once the battle time is extended, he will definitely lose.

However, if he awakens Observation Haki, it will be different.

It's like having an invisible eye.

Shisui knows very well how outrageous Naruto's Observation Haki is.

"I can't drag Pops down because I can't see anymore."

Shisui explained with a smile: "The purpose of my joining the Whitebeard Pirates is, first, to have a place that can accept me, second, I really like this family atmosphere, and third, I admire Pops' personal charm."

"To protect this family well, you have to become stronger. If one day we encounter a strong enemy, we don't need Pops to take action, we can solve the other party, then we are truly 'grown up'."

Shisui's remarks made Uchiha Izumi stunned.

Become stronger, protect the family.....

Is this what Brother Shisui wants to do?

Is this Shisui's goal?

Izumi understood.

"Alright!" Uchiha Izumi said seriously: "Then let's continue!"

Since Shisui wanted to become stronger, she would cooperate with Shisui, and this could also train her Shuriken throwing technique.

Although there is a certain difference between stones and Shuriken.

But it's actually not much different.

...

Ninja school.

Inside the training ground.

"Hinata, you're going to have a hard time keeping up with Naruto like this!" Karin looked at the panting Hinata, she adjusted her glasses and said: "Your weakness is that you hesitate too much when you make a move, I know you're very afraid of hurting your opponent."

"But if I was your enemy, and you still have such a hesitant thoughts, then you will be decapitated in the next moment." Karin said seriously: "Come on, let's continue practicing."

The entire Whitebeard pirate group, everyone has entered the right track.

Everyone has a common goal, that is to become stronger.

Only by becoming stronger can they share some of the pressure for Whitebeard.

Although Whitebeard may not have any pressure.....

".....Hmm!" Hinata took a deep breath, she quickly approached Karin, both hands.

All stretched out the index finger and middle finger.

Quickly pointed at Karin's acupoints.

But the next moment, Hinata found that Karin was actually motionless, her action couldn't help but stop.

The tip of her finger was only one centimeter away from Karin's body.

"Eh? Karin, you....." Hinata looked up a bit bewildered.

"You hesitated again."

Karin shook her head, she reached out and grabbed Hinata's wrist, and actually pulled it towards her with force.

Bang!

Karin's face turned slightly white, she could feel that the hit part was very painful, and the operation of chakra was blocked.

But she showed a smile to Hinata: "That's right!"

"But, won't you get hurt?" Hinata asked blankly.

"How can there be no injury when you are training?"

Karin said: "Do you know how serious the injuries Naruto suffered during training?"

Hinata really didn't know.

"In my impression, Naruto has been near death no less than 80 times, almost every bone in his body has been broken. The injuries he suffered from training are simply incalculable."

Karin smiled slightly: "Hinata, you like Naruto, don't you?"

Hinata: "!!!"

"Eh.....eh eh eh!" Hinata's face turned red instantly, her forehead popped out.

One wisp after another of steam: "I I I....you.....Naruto-kun he.....I I I...."

She couldn't speak properly.

Karin pretended to have a look of memory: "I remember Naruto once told me what kind of girl he likes."

Hinata: "!!!"

"What...what type is it?" Hinata, who couldn't speak just now, suddenly started speaking fluently.

Karin smiled slyly: "Naruto said he likes girls who are a bit tough and never hesitate in their action!"

"Hinata, do you want to become that kind of girl?"

Karin stepped back a few steps, she posed a Taijutsu pose: "If you want, then continue to practice with me!"

Poor Hinata was played by Karin.

Hinata tried hard to suppress the hesitation in her heart.

She posed a gentle fist pose: "Then...then I'm coming!"
