"Could it be... the Daimyo of the Land of Grass?"
Kakashi's forehead was covered in sweat. He knew that even if he hadn't been late, he wouldn't have been able to change anything.
Honestly,
Having been in the ninja world for so long, even though he had participated in the Third Great Ninja War, he had never seen anyone kill a noble with his own eyes.
Let alone seeing someone kill a Daimyo!
In the ninja world.
Ordinary nobles and Daimyos are very different
Ordinary nobles, although not easy to provoke, at least there are quite a few of them in a country.
Somewhat similar to the ninja clans of the Konohagakure Village.
Just without the inheritance of ninjutsu.
But the Daimyo is different. The Land of Grass has only one "Daimyo". A country's Daimyo is equivalent to the Hokage in the Konohagakure Village.
Whitebeard's actions.
Equivalent to...
Killing a Hokage!
"Pops!!" Naruto, who was next to Kakashi, ran towards Whitebeard like a runaway fox. He excitedly said, "Pops! Just now, Kakashi and I teamed up and defeated a ninja from Kusagakure Village!"
The appearance of Naruto, this hot-blooded idiot son.
Made Whitebeard's bad mood dissipate.
The smile on his face no longer contained anger.
But pure cheerfulness.
Pure hearty laughter.
Whitebeard laughed heartily and said, "Gurarararara! Foolish son, you've made some small progress! What level of ninja did you defeat?"
"Uncle Kakashi said it was a Chunin!"
Naruto had already run to Whitebeard's side.
For the bloody scene in front of him.
Naruto was already having a hard time feeling uncomfortable.
Following his pop during this time, Naruto had seen several "visual shocks". He used to turn pale and even vomit on the spot at first, but now he doesn't anymore. He has undergone several stimulating "transformations".
"Huh?" Suddenly, Naruto saw a red-haired child sitting on Whitebeard's shoulder.
It seemed to be a little girl.
"Pops, who is she?" Naruto scratched his head
A bit puzzled.
"Foolish son, her name is Karin." Whitebeard introduced, "From today onwards, she is my daughter! And she is also a new family member"
"Huh? Family?"
"Huh? Daughter?"
Naruto and Karin's Mom shocked voices almost sounded at the same time.
"She is your new daughter, Pops? She's about my age! Karin, what a good name!"
Naruto's eyes widened.
At this moment.
Karin, who was sitting on Whitebeard's shoulder, also quietly opened her eyes. Although she couldn't see anything just now, she heard Whitebeard talking to someone now.
When Karin saw the bodies all over the ground.
Her little face suddenly turned as pale as paper.
But after seeing her mother again, she recovered a bit. Then she looked at Naruto. Her little face was also confused and somewhat shyly introverted.
"Hello!" Naruto suddenly gave Karin a thumbs up. The smile on his face was as bright as it could be.
In this dark and bloody Kusagakure Village.
It seemed particularly abrupt
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto's smile came from his heart. He was indeed very happy at this moment: "I am also Whitebeard's son. I am his first son in the ninja world! You are Pops'ss daughter, so we will be family from now on!"
"Uzumaki Naruto... family..." Karin couldn't help but pause. Perhaps Naruto's smile was indeed infectious.
She plucked up courage: "My name is Karin!"
"We are... family!"
She said seriously with her little face.
At that moment,
The most confused person at the scene was Karin's mother. She never expected that after she went out to carry out a "do-or-die" mission, survived by a fluke, became a rogue ninja and returned to the village, her daughter Karin suddenly have a father.
Karin, she acknowledged Whitebeard as her father!
This... might also be a good thing.
Uzumaki Fuushi knew that with her own strength, she couldn't provide Karin with a good environment.
Being able to find a village like Kusagakure Village was already the limit for her as a mother.
She knew.
She failed as a mother.
"Mom is also my family!" Karin suddenly added, she tried to speak in a serious tone, but compared to her age, this serious tone was somewhat cute.
"Mom? Oh!" Naruto clapped his hands together, with an expression of great wisdom, he suddenly realized: "So You are the daughter that big sister! Oh! I remember now!"
Whitebeard also looked at Uzumaki Fuushi.
This woman is only in her twenties. She should have been left with Karin when she was less than twenty years old.
Now.
Karin is about the same age as Naruto, she is only about five or six years old.
That is to say, Uzumaki Fuushi is only about twenty-four or twenty five years old. At this age in Whitebeard's eyes, she is a kid among kids.
Uzumaki Fuushi is very thin.
Thin to the point of malnutrition.
She actually has no "will to live". In the dark den of Kusagakure Village, if it weren't for Karin supporting her faith, she would have probably committed suicide long ago.
"Red-haired kid." Whitebeard asked Uzumaki Fuushi: "In the entire ninja world, besides Karin, do you have any other family members? What about the husband who gave birth to Karin with you?"
Uzumaki Fuushi was taken aback and replied in a low voice: "My husband is also a survivor of the Uzumaki clan, but he abandoned us mother and daughter."
"What an irresponsible guy."
Whitebeard frowned.
"Red-haired kid." In Uzumaki Fuushi's stunned gaze, Whitebeard actually reached out to her: "From today on, be my daughter!"
"Ah?" This sentence almost stunned Uzumaki Fuushi.
She looked up at Whitebeard in front of her. That sincere expression couldn't be faked.
Uzumaki Fuushi thought.
The other party is serious.
"I... but I..." She never thought that someone would want to adopt her as a daughter, let alone that someone would want to be her family member, especially such a person who is still a stranger.
Since Uzumaki Fuushi brought her daughter to Kusagakure Village.
She has never felt a trace of warmth.
She suffers torment and hardship every day.
Honestly,
When she learned that Whitebeard had acknowledged her daughter Karin as his daughter, while she was happy for Karin in her heart...
There was some envy that she herself didn't understand.
Uzumaki Fuushi has been displaced since she was young. Her parents died on the day when Uzushiogakure Village was destroyed years ago.
Since then she has had no family members again.
It took a lot of effort to have a husband, but the husband abandoned her and she lost her family again.
Until Karin was born.
The word "family" is extremely luxurious and difficult to obtain for an orphan like Uzumaki Fuushi.
But now...
There is a man named Whitebeard who is willing to be her family and willing to recognize her as an orphan.
"Mom cried." Sitting on Whitebeard's shoulder, Karin stared blankly at the hot tears flowing from her mother's eyes.
Karin could feel it.
Her mother...
Was not sad but rather felt a unique joy. That joy turned into tears.
Karin felt it right.
The inner surge of emotion and joy made Uzumaki Fuushi completely forget... if she agreed, how should she and her daughter discuss their position as a mother and daughter?
She spoke up.
"Pops...."
