Chapter 177 I Have a White Beard! Naruto: A Surprise for Grandpa Hokage

The whole scene became a little quiet.

In a very humble manner, Mei Terumi held the Mizukage hat of their Kirigakure Village in both hands.

She handed the Mizukage bamboo hat to Whitebeard.

Wait quietly for Whitebeard to take it away.

At this moment, she felt very uneasy, fearing that Whitebeard would not take away the water shadow hat.

In that case, their Kirigakure Village would lose the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Nowadays, Kirigakure Village lacks high-end combat power...

If there is no Whitebeard Pirates as a backer.

If something big happened, Kirigakure really didn't know what to do.

Kisame Kisaki glanced at Terumi Mei with great interest, and then his eyes fell on Mizukage's bamboo hat.

It was impossible for Kisame not to be unfamiliar with this Mizukage hat.

When he was in Kirigakure Village, he could see this hat almost every day as long as he was in the village.

It also reminded him of some not-so-good memories from his past.

Because the appearance of the hat reminded him of the Fourth Mizukage.

Then I thought of the blood mist policy.

Finally, Kisame thought of his companions who died in his hands.

When these memories come to mind.

Kisame's interested expression turned a bit gloomy.

But he didn't say anything.

Because Kisame knew that this was the most correct decision made by Kirigakure Village, he murmured to himself: "It should be the old gentleman named Genshi who contributed a strategy to Kirigakure Village, right?"

Kisame believed that only that old man in the entire Kirigakure Village could have such a big picture.

Next to him, Da Ma Jin Dao, a white-bearded man sitting on a big chair, looked at Terumi Mei with a look of overlooking and disdain.

Whitebeard's gaze put Terumi Mei under a lot of pressure.

She didn't know why she was so nervous.

"Kid, your Kirigakure Village wants to become a vassal ninja village of the Whitebeard Pirates? Blah blah blah..." Whitebeard smiled: "Tsk, do you know... what does this mean?"

"What does it mean?" Terumi Mei swallowed secretly.

She carefully looked up at the white beard in front of her.

"Idiot kid! Do you in the Kirigakure Village think that the Whitebeard Pirates are easy to take advantage of? On the sea, you have to pay for everything before you get anything! Kirigakure kid!"

Whitebeard grinned: "When I take over this hat, the Whitebeard Pirates will share part of the annual financial income of Kirigakure Village."

"The Whitebeard Pirates can also use the funds saved by your village at will, and the talents you have trained will be used by the Whitebeard Pirates first."

"Besides, the Whitebeard Pirates will never allow anyone to betray you!"

Whitebeard's eyes narrowed: "Once betrayal occurs, the entire Kirigakure Village will bear the wrath of me."

"Gudong——"

Terumi Mei's throat surged again. The Whitebeard Pirates' dominance was more exaggerated than she expected.

Where did Kirigakure find a powerful combat force that could protect the village?

This is obviously a father who is very strong and domineering!

However, Terumi Mei knew that Kirigakure must find this father.

The mental struggle within you lasts only a few seconds.

Terumi Mei had a serious look on her face: "Whitebeard-sama, from the day you took this water shadow hat away from Kirigakure Village, everyone in Kirigakure Village has already thought about it! Even the Whitebeard Pirates The regiment immediately ordered all of us in Kirigakure to die, and we will also obey such an order!"

This was actually Terumi Mei's decision made without authorization.

but……

She felt it was the right decision.

"You kid, you are very determined!" Whitebeard smiled even more.

He didn't need to say anything more. Kisame next to him realized what his father meant.

Kisame stepped forward in place of his father and picked up the Mizukage hat.

Kisame was not attracted to the Mizukage hat from Kirigakure Village.

Even though he knew that if he asked his father to become the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, his father would definitely not be stingy with the hat.

But he knew that he was not suitable to be the Mizukage of a ninja village.

Even if Kirigakure Village in the future will become better than it is now.

Kisame will never go back to his old life.

Even if I go back to Kirigakure Village, I will only stay there for a while at most.

Because Kisame has become accustomed to the life of the Whitebeard Pirates.

If he was asked to give up staying with his family.

Let him go to Kirigakure Village to become the fifth Mizukage.

Kisame was reluctant.

"Kid, your shabby hat... From today on, it will be kept by the Whitebeard Pirates." Whitebeard said: "Remember the promise you made today, Kirigakure will become the Whitebeard Pirates A vassal ninja village. As for the position of Mizukage, I don’t care about this poor position!"

Let a dignified sea emperor be the Mizukage of a ninja village.

Wouldn't that mean that an emperor should be a village chief?

It's too funny.

With the experience of managing the Whitebeard Pirates, which is tens of thousands in size, Whitebeard directly issued an order to Mi Mei: "You select the two most powerful people in your village, and these two people will temporarily take over the management power of Kirigakure Village. This It is also the authority temporarily assigned to these two people by the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Until I find you a fifth generation Mizukage, the two people who are temporarily in charge of Kirigakure will do whatever they are supposed to do." After saying these words, Whitebeard grinned and said: "Kirigakure brat , do you have any opinions?!"

If these words were said by others.

Terumi Mei would definitely have an opinion.

After all, I want to choose two people, and I haven’t named them yet. When the time comes to compete for these two candidates in Kirigakure Village, the jonins will definitely be crazy.

It was hard to select two people...

What if those two people took over power for too long and were obsessed with power. After the candidate for the fifth Mizukage was determined, what should they do if they were unwilling to hand over their power?

Wouldn't that lead to another civil war?

but……

When these words came out of Whitebeard's mouth, Terumi Mei felt relieved.

Because when that time comes, the fifth generation Mizukage is elected, if those two people are unwilling to let go of power. There is no need for civil war in Kirigakure Village, just the Whitebeard Pirates taking action.

really.

There is an extremely powerful warrior standing in charge.

Everything becomes simpler.

No wonder Master Yuanshi asked him to give the Mizukage bamboo hat to Whitebeard for safekeeping.

"no comment."

Terumi Mei replied seriously.

She also knew that after she said these words, Kirigakure's last name was "Edward".

"Your Excellency Whitebeard...eh?"

Suddenly, an uninvited person came, and it was Kakashi.

He saw that the door was not closed.

Just walked in directly.

Kakashi held several invitations in his hand, and his eyes wandered around Kisame, Whitebeard and Terumi Mei. Finally, his eyes locked on Terumi Mei.

Kakashi is still a little familiar with this blood successor ninja of Kirigakure Village.

She actually came to Konoha Village?

Did you see Whitebeard?

Then Kakashi noticed that Kisame was holding something in his hand.

Kakashi's eyes began to widen gradually, revealing a dead fish eye that was already full of incredible expressions.

That is……

Mizukage hat? !

Although Kakashi has never seen what the Mizukage's hat looks like, he has seen what the Hokage's hat looks like.

The hat that Kisame is holding is different in color from the Hokage's hat, but the style is exactly the same as the Hokage's hat.

There is also the iconic word "water" on it.

Isn't this a Mizukage hat or something?

What happened just now?

Did you miss something?

"Sharingan Kakashi?"

Terumi Mei was a little surprised, obviously she also recognized Kakashi.

"White-haired brat, long time no see!" White Beard smiled: "Did you come here specifically to be my son?"

Kakashi: "..."

"I'm here to send you a few invitations, Mr. Whitebeard. This is what Mr. Hokage asked me to give to you."

Kakashi handed several invitations to Whitebeard.

Then, he explained: "Your Excellency Whitebeard, Lord Hokage would like to invite you to watch the chunin exam competition. And Lord Whitebeard, you are sitting next to Lord Hokage."

He paused and continued: "There is no priority between your position and that of Hokage-sama. They are on the left and right. This is also the sincerity that Hokage-sama mentioned."

Kakashi himself felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

Because this sincerity is nothing at all.

He glanced at Mizukage's bamboo hat again.

Kakashi thinks this is true "sincerity". Who would have thought that Kirigakure Village would do such a thing?

It's unbelievable!

"The Chunin Exam?" Whitebeard showed a very interested look: "Isn't this the so-called Chunin Exam that my two idiot sons, that idiot daughter, and that Uchiha brat... are going to take? "

Naruto, Shiro, and Uchiha Izumi, these three sons and daughters were going to take the Chuunin exams. How could they hide this from Whitebeard?

What's more, they didn't hide it from Whitebeard.

"Huh?" Kakashi was a little confused.

Kisame explained from the side: "Naruto, Haku, and Izumi, the three of them are going to take the Chunin Exam."

Kakashi: "???"

etc……

what's the situation?

It's understandable that Izumi Uchiha took the junior high school exam, after all, she has been a Konoha genin for a long time. Although Kakashi did not expect that she would join the Whitebeard Pirates, this could be considered a better destination for the Uchiha clan, right?

But what does Naruto and Shiro mean?

Are they genin of Konoha? Aren't they Ninja School students?

When can Ninja School students take the Chunin Exam?

Could it be that the rules have changed?

Why didn't he know?

One question after another popped up in my mind.

Leaving Kakashi confused.

"Gu la la la! I will go." Whitebeard grinned and said: "Just throw away these broken invitations! Wherever I want to go, do I still need to show the invitation letter given by others?"

"White-haired brat, that so-called Hokage of your Konoha Village, that irresponsible guardian...does he take himself too seriously?"

"I have a white beard!"

…

evening.

Serizawa Fengnan waited in place motionless for most of the day.

His eyes kept wandering left and right, trying to find traces of Lord Uzumaki Naruto, until his neck ached.

suddenly.

Serizawa Fengnan saw three young children appearing.

The child standing on the left has black hair.

It can be seen that this is a boy, although he looks as cute as a girl.

The one on the right also has black hair, and the black hair looks longer. This is definitely a girl, right?

The one in the middle has blond hair.

A sunny smile on his face.

"Uzumaki Naruto-sama!" Serizawa Fengnan was so excited that tears burst into his face, like a domestic dog meeting its master it had not seen for a long time.

Even though he was already in his thirties this year, he still shouted to Naruto: "Naruto-sama! It's me! It's me! I am Serizawa Fengnan from the Grass Ninja Village!"

He ran over.

"Huh?" When he saw a strange face running over in a hurry.

Naruto was stunned for a moment.

I have no idea who this guy is, let alone why he calls himself Naruto-sama.

Until I heard the term "Grass Ninja Village" from the other party's mouth.

Naruto suddenly realized.

"Oh! It's you!" In Naruto's impression, the ANBU ninja from the Grass Ninja Village always wore a mask.

Now this guy took off his mask, making him feel a bit strange to Naruto.

I don't recognize this face at all.

Serizawa Fengnan hurriedly took out the forehead protector he was holding.

"Presumably...the two people next to you must be Sasuke-sama and Shiro-sama, right? These are the forehead protectors that the three of you want. They are the new forehead protectors of our Kusanagi Village."

He handed these three forehead protectors to the three people in front of him.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Shiro took it one after another.

"Why is it the logo of the Whitebeard Pirates?" Naruto was a little surprised. He raised his head and looked at the man in front of him.

Serizawa Fengnan scratched his head: "Because I think that since the Grass Ninja Village is already a vassal of the Whitebeard Pirates, the logo of the Grass Ninja Village should also be changed to the Whitebeard Pirates' logo."

"If you don't like it, Naruto-sama, then I can quickly change the style back." Serizawa Fengnan felt awkward as if he was flattering a horse on the leg.

"Oh, it doesn't matter."

Naruto put the forehead protector on his forehead and found that it felt pretty good: "The Whitebeard Pirates' logo really suits us."

"That's good, that's good." Serizawa Fengnan breathed a sigh of relief.

Sasuke was also looking at the forehead protector.

He thought about it and tried wearing it on his forehead, the same way Naruto wore it.

Sasuke didn't expect that it would be so easy to become a genin in a ninja village, and he didn't even need to graduate from a ninja school.

Although this is only a temporary status.

But it also opens the door to a new world.

Bai smiled. He did not put the forehead protector on his forehead, but wrapped it around his waist.

The not-too-long cloth belt was just enough to wrap around his waist.

It's hard to imagine that a boy's waist can be so slender.

Slender than many girls.

"In three days, the Chuunin exams will begin." Naruto said to Serizawa Fengnan: "At that time, you will be our leading jounin. If Grandpa Hokage asks any questions, you will answer them. I think you should Can you do this well?"

"Yes, Naruto-sama!"

Serizawa Fengnan patted his chest. After receiving this order, he was so excited that he blew out two puffs of white air from his nose: "I promise, I can deal with that Hokage of Konoha Village!"

Is it embarrassing to listen to a child like that?

Serizawa Funan felt no shame.

Lord Uzumaki Naruto gave him an order...

It shows that Lord Naruto attaches great importance to him!

This is enough!

…

time flies.

At night, Sasuke was using a ninjutsu Shisui taught him. He was living a very fulfilling life these days.

It’s not about exercising every day.

Just practicing the fire release ninjutsu.

Although his face was full of fatigue, Sasuke still gritted his teeth, formed seals with his hands, and squeezed the last chakra out of his body.

"Fire Release·Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!!!"

When he opened his mouth to spit out, he spit out ball after ball of flames, a total of nine balls of flames, surging forward.

Under the light of the fire, you can see these nine flames heading straight towards a slender figure.

The firelight illuminated the other person's blond hair.

"Wind Escape·Rising Wind Wall!!!"

Naruto formed the seal much faster than Sasuke, and an invisible wall of wind rose from the ground.

The ninjutsu of both sides are colliding.

Suddenly there was a roar.

Boom boom boom boom——

"Huh...huh..." Sasuke bent his legs and fell to his knees. He supported his body with both hands and gasped for air: "Stop, stop...I can't hold it anymore."

Sasuke actually didn't want to admit that he couldn't do it.

But his body is honest.

"You're making rapid progress, Sasuke-kun." Shiro's voice came, and he said from the side: "Yesterday, you lasted less than ten seconds in Naruto's hands, and this was when Naruto was seriously overconfident. Although today Naruto is also seriously discouraged, but you persisted for a full twenty-five seconds today, and you have made significant progress!"

"...This doesn't sound like comforting at all." Sasuke complained a little unwillingly in silence.

He has obviously worked very hard during this period, risking his own life to become stronger.

He can also clearly feel his rapid progress.

But it was still so far away from Naruto.

It can be said that Sasuke receives blows from Naruto every day.

"Naruto, how strong are you?"

Sasuke opened his tired eyes and stared at Naruto in front of him.

"How strong? I don't know." Naruto's answer was very honest: "Anyway, I can't beat Uncle Kisame, and I probably can't beat Uncle Kakashi, and I can't even beat Granny Tsunade."

Naruto touched his chin: "To put it this way, I'm actually not very powerful. There are many people who are better than me."

Sasuke: "..."

While he was still comparing himself to Naruto, Naruto was already comparing himself to that group of powerful people.

The gap is too big, right?

"Haha! Today's special training is over. Sasuke, let's take a good rest tomorrow and take a long vacation to recharge our batteries!"

Naruto strode over and wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand to support the weak Sasuke.

To avoid Sasuke's legs getting weak again and he knelt down.

"Tomorrow, I invite you and Shiro to go to the bathhouse together! Eat ramen! Eat barbecue!" Naruto chuckled: "The Chuunin exams will start the day after tomorrow. The three of us will give Grandpa Hokage a big surprise."

"If Grandpa Hokage sees the three of us taking the Chunin Exam, he will definitely be very shocked, right? Hahaha!"

"Idiot Naruto, don't get so close."

Sasuke muttered, "The sweat on your body stinks."
