Chapter 237: Will of Fire ×, Will of Pirates? Whitebeard and Moby Dick! 

Although among the Ino, Shika, Cho clans, only the Yamanaka clan is a bit off.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen is very clear that these three clans usually have the same thinking.

Among them, even if only one Yamanaka clan goes in the wrong direction, the other two ninja clans will also follow the Yamanaka clan in the wrong direction!

And, by doing this, is Yamanaka Inoichi sending a signal to the other two ninja clans?

As long as you think deeply in this direction, the expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face becomes a bit gloomy.

Whitebeard Pirates has been stealing so many young talents from Konohagakure.

As one of the Ino, Shika, Cho clans, the Yamanaka clan did not help him, the Third Hokage, let alone, they even turned their arms out and turned to the Whitebeard Pirates!

If the arm of the Yamanaka clan is turned to Shimura Danzo, or Mitokado Homura, or Utatane Koharu...

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood wouldn't be so bad now.

Logically speaking, he should now ask someone to bring Yamanaka Inoichi over.

But think about it, no matter how he questions the other party, the other party will not tell him any truth.

And if you take a tough approach, the hearts of the villagers will fluctuate.

Originally, after the village dealt with a Uchiha clan has already made all the ninja clans in the village uneasy.

If you target the Yamanaka clan again, how should other ninja clans see it?

And what is their thinking?

Thinking in this direction, Sarutobi Hiruzen found that he couldn't move the Yamanaka clan at all!

"Inoichi, good good!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was uncertain: "Your intelligence and tactics are not much worse than Shikaku!"

Once the seed of doubt is planted, Sarutobi Hiruzen begins to look at the entire Yamanaka clan with bias.

Although the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main family also joined the Whitebeard Pirates.

But according to Sarutobi Hiruzen's understanding, that was not Hyuga Hiashi giving his daughter to the Whitebeard Pirates.

It was Hyuga Hinata who voluntarily joined the Whitebeard Pirates and voluntarily left the Hyuga clan's main family.

The Yamanaka clan is different.

The attitude of Yamanaka Inoichi... doesn't it just show that he deliberately sent his daughter to Whitebeard?

"...Send someone to watch the Yamanaka clan!" Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, trying to calm his thoughts, he ordered the Anbu ninja in front of him: "Once there is any abnormality, immediately report to me!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" The Anbu ninja immediately nodded.

He watched as the Anbu ninja turned and left, closing the door behind him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned back in his chair, powerless.

Every aspect of the village was gradually slipping out of his control as Hokage.

In the end, it was all because his reputation had collapsed.

Before his reputation had collapsed, even if he had been beaten up by Whitebeard, the hearts of the people in the village were still with him as Hokage.

But ever since Naruto revealed everything in front of so many people, and various conspiracy theories were spreading in Konohagakure village... many people in the village had different thoughts.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt... the Yamanaka clan was just the beginning.

He reasonably suspected, was Iruka really kidnapped by the Whitebeard Pirates?

Or did Iruka voluntarily join the Whitebeard Pirates, but he was embarrassed, so he faked the scene?

Bang!!!

Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth and slapped the table.

"Does everyone not see me as Hokage?"

...

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!!!"

Sasuke spat out a great fireball, and Neji, who was fighting him, quickly jumped back to avoid the attack.

Neji's eyes were surrounded by blue veins, he threw two shuriken at Sasuke with a backhand, and then chased after the shuriken.

As Sasuke hurriedly dodged the shuriken, Neji had already set up his Gentle Fist stance: "Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Eight Palms!!!"

In just the blink of an eye, two of the eight attacks hit Sasuke, and the remaining six missed.

Sasuke found that he couldn't gather chakra in his left hand, and the acupoint on his left arm that was hit was faintly painful.

But Sasuke's face didn't change much, he kicked high towards Neji's right neck.

Neji blocked with his hand, but didn't expect the force of Sasuke's kick to exceed his expectations.

Neji was kicked and staggered.

But his reaction was also very quick, he immediately took out a kunai from his Ninja Tools bag and stabbed it at Sasuke's leg that hadn't had time to retract.

"Hmm?" But when his Byakugan looked at Sasuke, Neji's movement paused, "A clone? When was the Clone Jutsu completed?"

The Byakugan could see the clues at a glance.

Neji changed his movement, without hesitation he turned around and stabbed the kunai behind him.

At the same time, Sasuke, who appeared behind Neji, was also holding a kunai and stabbing at Neji.

Both of them paused at the same time, and both kunai were against each other's throats.

"The 100th tie!" Karin's voice rang out.

You could see that Karin was acting as the referee for Neji and Sasuke's fight.

Karin, drenched in sweat, helplessly said to the two of them, "In just ten days, you guys have fought a hundred times."

It had been ten days since the Whitebeard Pirates left Konohagakure.

Even while on the move, Karin and the others did not stop the Genin's special training.

While walking, they carried weights to improve their strength and endurance.

When it was time to rest, they could do some other special training.

Such as "weighted horse stance", "weighted sit-ups", "fighting"... anyway, there was hardly any real rest time.

"Huff, huff... another tie." Sasuke retracted his kunai, panting slightly.

The next second, Sasuke's mouth curled up, "Strictly speaking, I win every time, because I'm a year younger than you."

Neji couldn't refute, after all, Sasuke had been with Whitebeard longer than he had.

Neji was also panting heavily, having fought ten times in a day, he was already drenched in sweat.

"Next time, I will definitely win, because I have figured out your combat routine." Neji also had a confident smile on his face.

Just then, a violent roar sounded from another place, attracting the attention of both of them.

Seeing this, Sasuke's mouth twitched slightly: "...Naruto's strength is still so exaggerated."

Neji agreed deeply: "While we are fighting each other, Naruto has already found Kakashi to spar."

They would be lying if they said they weren't envious.

But there was no jealousy.

...

"Rasengan!!!" Naruto's Rasengan wrapped in Armament Haki made a big noise, even the ground was blasted out a pit with a diameter of several meters.

But his attack did not hit Kakashi, Kakashi used a Konohagakure Body Flicker Technique, appearing behind Naruto.

Kakashi's position was instantly captured accurately by Naruto's Observation Haki.

"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!!!"

Naruto turned around and spat out an invisible wind blade, the wind blade quickly swept away, cutting a large tree behind him in half at the waist.

Seeing the tree under his feet starting to fall, Kakashi hurriedly jumped up.

"Really, you are already so powerful at such a young age, do you have to be so exaggerated? Minato-sensei's talent wasn't so outrageous, was it?"

Kakashi's face showed a bit of helplessness, he was forcibly pulled over by Naruto to fight.

Kakashi believed that Minato-sensei at Naruto's age might not be as good as Naruto.

It's really blue out of blue and better than blue!

"The amazing perception ability of Observation Haki is indeed a bit troublesome." Kakashi clapped his hands: "But with this Ninjutsu, can you perceive my real body? Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Suddenly, Kakashi who jumped into the air, divided into two, and two into four.

The unique Clone Jutsu made Naruto's immature Observation Haki unable to capture his real body.

"Lightning Release: Four Corners Brahma Lock!!!"

All four Kakashi's palms emerged a ball of lightning, the lightning turned into an electric arc and connected to each other, forming a square.

When Kakashi landed on the ground, the lightning just happened to trap Naruto in it.

All four Kakashi decisively sprinted in different directions.

The square formed by the connected electric arcs quickly shrank.

"I'm surrender!" A word from Naruto made the four Kakashi hurriedly stop their steps, almost tumbling to the ground.

He used so much chakra, he originally wanted to teach Naruto a lesson, let Naruto be honest, and not always think about finding him to practice.

As a result, Naruto actually shouted surrender directly?

This was obviously beyond Kakashi's expectation.

Naruto didn't see the expression on Kakashi's face that was a bit uncomfortable, he muttered thoughtfully: "Without the power of the big fox, I still have a gap compared with Kakashi uncle, huh!"

"Uncle Kakashi... what is this Ninjutsu?" Naruto quickly showed a curious baby expression again.

The lightning in Kakashi's palm dissipated, and the three shadow clones also disappeared.

He opened one dead fish eye and answered: "This is Lightning Release Ninjutsu, you don't have lightning attribute chakra. Even if I teach you, you can't exert its power."

Naruto shook his head: "I'm talking about your strange Clone Jutsu, it actually has a physical body like a water clone?"

"Naruto has seen the Water Clone Jutsu of Kirigakure Village, this special Clone Jutsu, it's hard for Observation Haki to sense where the real body is.

It could also be that his own Observation Haki is not well trained.

If it were Pops, he would definitely be able to tell which one is Uncle Kakashi at a glance.

"This is the 'Shadow Clone Jutsu', a B-rank Ninjutsu! It can be used to create one or several clones with physical bodies, and the clones will evenly distribute the chakra of the original body."

"The clones have a relatively independent consciousness, and also have a bit of resistance to attacks, after the clone is dispelled, memories and experiences can all return to the original body."

Kakashi explained.

"Oh, right!"

Kakashi suddenly thought of something, he touched his chin, "This Ninjutsu is quite suitable for you, especially a forbidden jutsu derived from this Ninjutsu, it's very suitable for people like you who have a lot of chakra." 

The forbidden jutsu he was referring to was the "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu"!

"Forbidden jutsu? Uncle Kakashi! Teach me! Teach me!" Naruto's eyes lit up.

The gears of fate began to turn.

...

On the other side.

"Where the leaves dance, the fire is also endless, the shadow of the fire illuminates the Whitebeard Pirates, new leaves will sprout."

In front of Iruka were dozens of Uchiha clan children, he said with a straight face, "This is the Will of Fire! In summary, you young people are the... cough! You are the hope of the Whitebeard Pirates in the future!"

"The executives of the pirate crew need to protect you fresh tender leaves, even if it costs their lives. Not only because you are family, but also because you are the future."

"When you grow up, you also need to spread your wings, protect the newcomers of the pirate crew, protect the younger pirates of the pirate crew."

Iruka knew that his current explanation of the Will of Fire was a bit different from the textbooks of Konohagakure Village.

But this was also unavoidable, if he copied the textbooks of Konohagakure to teach these Uchiha clan children...

Iruka felt that the next second, Whitebeard's great sword would appear above his head.

A strong desire to survive made Iruka's Will of Fire somewhat flexible.

Recently, Iruka no longer had to sit in the prison car.

Because this place was very far from Konohagakure, even if Iruka wanted to run back to Konohagakure at full speed, it would probably take several days.

He knew that he couldn't run away.

He had to go with the Whitebeard Pirates.

He had gone from being a ninja school teacher to being a pirate teacher.

Iruka was crying without tears in his heart.

"Iruka-sensei!" At this time, a Uchiha boy about five years old raised his hand and asked, "Can you directly teach us Ninjutsu? We also want to be as powerful as Naruto and Izumi."

Iruka twitched at the corner of his mouth, this was a bit too difficult for him.

Because no matter if it was Uchiha Izumi or Uzumaki Naruto, Iruka felt that he couldn't beat them.

"Cough, cough!" Iruka said with a strained expression, "Now you guys, it's not time to learn Ninjutsu yet, if you want to learn Ninjutsu, you have to be at least six years old."

Learning Ninjutsuand extracting chakra too early can affect physical development.

At least, for people with ordinary talent, this is indeed the case.

Iruka looked around at the little devils of the Uchiha clan, he continued, "Now you guys, must firmly remember, the Will of Fire is not only the will of the ninja, but also the will of the pirate!"

"Protection, trust, entrustment... ninjas, pirates, and family, some of the philosophies can be connected."

It must be said that Iruka, who has received professional teacher training, has a unique talent in teaching.

At least he managed a group of Uchiha clan's children quite well.

The only drawback is that Iruka has no salary as a teacher on the Whitebeard Pirates.

Purely powered by love.

Purely a tool person.

...

In the blink of an eye, several days passed again.

The Whitebeard Pirates had another trek, they had left Konohagakure for a full fifteen days.

At this time...

Whitebeard's nose suddenly moved, as if he smelled something, he grinned with a hearty and heroic smile: "Gurarararara! Little brats! I smell the sea! The wind blowing in the face now is the sea breeze!"

They are not walking aimlessly.

The Whitebeard Pirates are going to a specific location given by Kirigakure Village.

The destination of the Whitebeard Pirates is naturally a larger seaside port in Land of Fire.

Because, only a large enough port can accommodate the Moby Dick, a super-large pirate ship.

Capturing the Tailed Beasts is a more long-term goal for the pirate group.

The first goal of the pirate group is naturally to accept the Moby Dick built by Land of Water.

"It really is a sea breeze." Hoshigaki Kisame also sniffed the breeze blowing in his face, he who is good at Water Release Ninjutsu, can even feel that the humidity of the surrounding air has increased a lot.

Kisame suddenly grinned: "Land of Fire is really big! From Konohagakure to the seaside, it actually takes fifteen days to walk."

Although, part of the reason is that they did not walk fast, but it cannot be denied that the territory of Land of Fire is indeed large.

"...the sea!" Shisui laughed: "It's a pity that I can't see anything with both eyes, otherwise, I could use a pair of eyes to see what the Moby Dick looks like."

Uzumaki Fuushi said: "According to the time given by Kirigakure, the Moby Dick should have already stopped at the port."

...

A large ship is indeed parked at the port of a town in Konohagakure.

The huge ship compared with other ships, is like comparing a giant whale with a group of small sharks.

Such a large ship parked here is naturally very eye-catching.

Even if you use your butt to think, such a large ship must be expensive.

So the ninjas of Kirigakure Village temporarily stayed here to guard the pirate ship.

Once someone with ulterior motives wants to approach the Moby Dick, then they have to see the horror of the blood Kirigakure Ninja.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Terumi Mei stood on the plank of the Moby Dick, she slapped the hull hard.

With her elite Jonin strength, these slaps can break the plank is not a problem.

But when it was slapped on the Moby Dick, it didn't leave any traces, it just knocked off a bit of dust on the hull.

"Such hard wood!" Terumi Mei couldn't help but sigh: "It's worthy of a big ship that cost nearly a billion taels." Such a sturdy ship is definitely a terrifying beast at sea. Just hit it casually, and it can smash a bunch of ships. I'm afraid even the giant whales in the deep sea dare not challenge this ship."

"Terumi Mei!" Just then, a panicked shout came from below: "Terumi Mei!"

Terumi Mei looked down: "What's wrong?"

"You! You look to the west quickly!" The Kirigakure ninja below hurriedly shouted.

West? What's in the west?

Terumi Mei frowned, she looked up in the direction of the west.

It was afternoon at this time, the sun in the west made her eyes a bit sore.

Just as Terumi Mei squinted her eyes and carefully looked at that side, her pupils suddenly shrank.

In the distance, a familiar and robust figure made Terumi Mei gasp.

That man, she would never mistake him.

"It's Whitebeard!"

The new Whitebeard Pirates met with the Moby Dick!

...
