Shimura Tokurou was gripped by an unprecedented fear.
The giant before him demonstrated unparalleled power, instantly destroying everything that the Shimura clan had built in this place.
He watched helplessly as a dozen warriors were sent flying by an overwhelming invisible force.
He also saw the same fate befall the gamblers in the casino.
A large number of chips were scattered all over the ground.
The gambling tables were also destroyed.
What's more, he could see... a straight, massive trench extending for who knows how many meters. This deep, dark trench was so profound that its end was beyond sight.
It was terrifying!
It was shocking!
"Gurararara! Stupid son!" Whitebeard spoke: "Have you learned your lesson? If you have, then move all the money out! This is how pirates deal with those who don't know their place!"
"Okay, okay, Pops!" Naruto seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and he enthusiastically rummaged through the ruins.
No one dared to stop this blond kid.
Because .....
The "giant" was still standing there!
After about ten minutes,
Naruto, panting from exhaustion, didn't expect that sometimes moving money could also be a difficult and tiring task.
"Pops, it's all moved!" Naruto shouted excitedly.
Then...
Naruto had somehow found several large bags. Now, these bags were all filled with banknotes, mostly of high denominations.
A rough estimate...
It was nearly ten million Ryo!
"Well done! Quite efficient. Truly worthy of being my son. You were born to be a pirate." Whitebeard rarely praised Naruto.
This made Naruto even happier.
"The brat in a suit who peed his pants!" Whitebeard glanced at Shimura Tokurou.
Indeed, this member of the Shimura clan had wet his pants.
The area beneath his crotch was undeniably wet.
Whitebeard declared in an irrefutable tone, "From today onwards, this town is under the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates. Your casino must pay taxes to the Whitebeard Pirates every year, which means the casino and the Whitebeard Pirates will share profits on a 30-70 basis!"
An astonishing figure that left Shimura Tokurou terrified and dumbfounded.
"Why, why do I only get to keep 70%?"
It should be noted that the funds he used to bring back to his family accounted for 70% of the casino's annual income.
If this giant only left him with 70%
Then he would have to take this 70% back to his family.
What would he have left?
Working for nothing?!
"70% belongs to the Whitebeard Pirates!" Whitebeard slammed his Murakumogiri into the ground, causing it to tremble violently.
He looked disdainfully at Shimura Tokurou, who was staring wide-eyed and tongue-tied, and said, "You can take 30%, but that depends on my mood."
"White-haired brat!" Whitebeard turned around and said, "We've run out of pirate flags. Draw dozens more! I want this town to be filled with the flags of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Gurararara!"
Kakashi: "..."
"You really have the style of a pirate!" Tsunade was surprisingly interested. She crossed her arms over her chest, holding onto two enormous objects.
She looked at Kakashi, who was reluctantly drawing pirate flags: "I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also be his accomplice."
After hearing this, Kakashi had no choice but to defend himself: "Tsunade-sama, I must stay by Naruto's side and take good care of him. Under these circumstances, I have no choice but to temporarily listen to Whitebeard."
"You're afraid you can't beat him, aren't you?" Tsunade mercilessly exposed Kakashi, leaving Kakashi's only visible eye full of helplessness.
"Tsunade-sama, as one of the Three Ninjas, why don't you stop him?" Kakashi turned around and asked Tsunade.
"Why should I stop him?" After her initial shock, Tsunade actually became gleeful.
She even rubbed her hands together: "These bastards cheated me out of so much money by cheating. This is their retribution!"
"Moreover," she said, "this is an action taken in the Land of Fire, not a problem with Konoha. What does it have to do with me? Besides, I have already resigned from my ninja duties. I am no longer a ninja."
If Her entire speech boiled down to just four words.
——None of her business?!
Kakashi didn't know what was going on with Tsunade
Although she seemed carefree, he could sense a deep melancholy from Tsunade.
Could it be because of some events that happened during the war years ago?
Kakashi didn't feel it was appropriate to ask too many questions.
When Kakashi finally finished drawing dozens of pirate flags, the entire town was adorned with the flags of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Flags painted in white on a black background...
Fluttered in the wind.
...
After hanging the flags of the Whitebeard Pirates all over the town, Whitebeard was ready to leave with Naruto.
After all, Whitebeard's purpose in coming here...
Was to find Tsunade to treat his illness and alleviate the hidden pain in his body.
Although it wasn't completely cured...
Whitebeard felt it was enough.
After a surgery treatment lasting more than four hours by Tsunade and Shizune, Whitebeard's physical condition was incredibly good.
Even if he had to fight a Marine Admiral for ten days and nights, Whitebeard felt there would be no problem.
Most of the hidden illnesses had been eliminated.
They would no longer hold him back.
He was truly nearing his peak strength with his aging body!
"Pops, this doesn't seem like the way back?"
When Naruto said this, he was gritting his teeth due to exertion.
Although some of the banknotes were sealed directly by Kakashi using his sealing scroll at Whitebeard's request...
Naruto still had to carry a considerable amount of banknotes on his back.
This was also a form of special training exercise.
The weight of the banknotes Naruto carried had reached 200 pounds, so heavy that his five-year-old legs were trembling.
Even his lips were stunned.
But he still followed Whitebeard with a trembling step.
Whitebeard laughed and said, "Foolish son, this journey is not only for my treatment, but also a form of training for you! Do you want to go back to school and be the weakest among them? Do you want to be fall behind that Uchiha kid?"
"Uchiha... Uchiha Sasuke?"
Naruto was taken aback.
Whitebeard's words truly struck a chord in Naruto's heart.
Naruto didn't know why he had such a competitive spirit.
His instinct didn't want him to be surpassed by Sasuke.
"Pops, so we..." Naruto couldn't help but ask weakly, "Where are we going?"
"Leave the Land of Fire!" Whitebeard declared without mincing words, "Only by experiencing the baptism of blood and battle in such a war-torn country can you grow up!"
"Hold on! Leave the Land of Fire?"
Kakashi, who was behind them, widened his eyes.
He knew he was no match for Whitebeard, but in such an urgent situation, he had to speak up.
"How can this be? If Naruto leaves the Land of Fire, he could very well become a target for all the major ninja villages!"
"He is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."
At this point, Kakashi suddenly realized.
Oh no.
It appeared that he had accidentally revealed some important information.
