Whitebeard's words surprised Gaara.
He didn't expect this man to want to adopt him as a son, and he maintained this enthusiasm as always.
If it was a day ago, Gaara's choice would naturally be the same as before, he would firmly refuse.
But, after losing the bet with Naruto, and with the help of the Whitebeard Pirates, knowing the real truth...
Facing Whitebeard's invitation again, Gaara hesitated this time.
He was not so decisive in refusing, he fell into deep struggle and consideration.
Gaara understood the meaning of his name today, it is not just to live for himself, nor to be a Shura who only loves himself.
Under this circumstance... can he accept the love of others for him?!
Gaara could clearly perceive the special kindness emanating from Whitebeard.
He knew very well that Whitebeard was not joking with him.
Gaara couldn't help but look at Naruto, Sasuke, Neji and others.
He knew... these people were all adopted by Whitebeard.
Compared with himself, they indeed received good paternal love, which could be seen from their respect for Whitebeard.
Could he also receive similar paternal love?
Do I envy this kind of fatherly love?
Gaara asked himself, and he found that he was very envious.
Moreover, there is such an opportunity in front of him that could also give him a kind of fatherly love.
Even if he joins the Whitebeard Pirates, if Rasa knows about it, he would definitely be shocked and collapse, right?
After all, that man has always wanted to assassinate him, but if he joins the Whitebeard Pirates, would he dare to do it?
In his heart, he holds a kind of gratitude, a kind of expectation, a kind of revenge against his biological father.
Gaara finally made a decision.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even under the gaze of his own mother, he said to Whitebeard: "I am willing to join the Whitebeard Pirates and become one of you!"
"Gurarararara!" Getting Gaara's affirmative reply, Whitebeard laughed heartily: "Kid, you have to change your address to me! From now on, you have to call me Pops!"
Pops...
Such a title made Gaara a little embarrassed.
He didn't know where this slightly awkward emotion came from.
But Gaara still took a deep breath and forcibly overcame this emotion.
He said these two words: "Pops!"
As soon as the words fell, it meant that the Whitebeard Pirates had one more new member today.
And it's a new member with both talent and potential.
After all, Gaara is a Jinchuriki!
Seeing all this happen, Karura could only watch silently, she could not stop her child's decision.
Although she doesn't know what kind of power the Whitebeard Pirates are, since there is such a man as Orochimaru in this organization, it shows that this organization is extraordinary!
The Whitebeard Pirates are so enthusiastic about inviting Gaara to join them, for Gaara, he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Temari was dumbfounded at all this.
She didn't expect that Gaara would just join the Whitebeard Pirates and become a pirate.
And the mother did not stop Gaara.
The uncle did not stop Gaara either.
Wait!
Suddenly, Temari thought of something, she exclaimed: "Gaara, what do you want to do next?!"
Gaara glanced at her.
He originally wanted to respond with a cold tone, but thinking that the truth he knew was actually false, he didn't need to maintain this extreme emotion and character.
Gaara tried to soften his attitude towards others, he responded: "Go kill Rasa."
It's just that this kind of change can't be changed in a day.
His tone of speech is still a bit cold.
Getting this answer, Temari was speechless for a while.
She knew that as Rasa's daughter, she should stop Gaara from doing this.
Moreover, the father is the Kazekage of Sunagakure Village.
If a Kazekage is killed, then what?
But thinking of everything Gaara has experienced, thinking of what the father did to Gaara... Temari's thousands of words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.
She fell into a deadly silence.
At this moment, no one continued to speak, and the entire Moby Dick fell into a quiet atmosphere.
"Gurara! Foolish sons, what are you still stunned for!"
Until Whitebeard's voice suddenly sounded: "My stupid son is going to punish his biological father who betrayed his family. Are we family members still standing stupidly and motionless? Foolish sons, let Moby Dick move! Let's go directly to Sunagakure Village!"
The highest command from Whitebeard made everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates realize what was about to happen next.
Kisame grinned, he had been waiting for Pops' command for a long time, and he was getting a bit impatient.
After listening for most of the day, Kisame was filled with disgust for Rasa, the Kazekage.
Kisame responded with a sinister smile, "No problem, Pops! Let's set sail!"
Kakashi took a deep breath, he put away a small book, and looked at the night in the distance, "We are going to launch a bright and upright night raid on Sunagakure Village..."
The words "bright and upright" and "night raid" sound a bit contradictory.
But what Whitebeard is going to do today is indeed so.
Naruto was rubbing his hands together, he also didn't like Rasa very much, and he wished he could punch him on the spot, "Good! I'll beat that broken Kazekage to a pulp!"
Seeing the excited Whitebeard Pirates who were like chickens, Konan realized that one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Sunagakure Village, might also fall into the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates.
This also means that after tonight, only one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Konohagakure Village, can barely survive on its own.
But Konan also knew that Konohagakure Village, when facing the Whitebeard Pirates, was actually no different from being annexed by the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Are we... are we going to attack Sunagakure Village..." Temari turned pale with fright.
Who could have thought that just after a night, Sunagakure Village would face a catastrophe.
Temari looked at her mother for help, hoping that her mother could do something.
Unfortunately, Karura couldn't do anything.
Gaara saw the reactions of everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates.
He found that the emotions displayed by everyone were very sincere.
The emotions they showed, such as excitement, anger, and happiness... etc., had no embellishment or concealment.
This is different from the people he saw in Sunagakure Village. Gaara murmured to himself, "Whitebeard Pirates..."
It was also at this moment...
He had a faint sense of belonging to the Whitebeard Pirates.
...
Meanwhile.
Sunagakure Village.
Rasa didn't know that a huge force was approaching Sunagakure Village at a fast speed by breaking through the sand, he only knew that the missing Jinchuriki had not been found yet.
"How long has it been, and you can't find an eight-year-old child? You've searched the area within ten miles outside the village, can't you find any clues?"
Rasa was gritting his teeth and questioning an Anbu from Sunagakure Village, "It's already four o'clock in the morning, the desert sky will soon be bright, and the sky will be bright in another hour!"
"You've been looking for Gaara all night and you can't find him. When did the Anbu's reconnaissance team become so incompetent?!"
After reprimanding this Anbu ninja for a while, Rasa finally calmed down his irritable mood.
His feelings for Gaara are very complicated, he thinks Gaara is a failed Jinchuriki, and he even sends people to assassinate Gaara.
But he also worries that Gaara will die outside Sunagakure Village. If Gaara dies outside, then he will lose the one-tail inside him!
Yes, Rasa's complex feelings for Gaara are solely because of the tailed beast inside him.
Rasa is simply worried that the one-tailed Shukaku will get out of Sunagakure Village's control, then the village will lose a powerful force, and also lose the capital to negotiate with the Whitebeard Pirates.
Thinking that the Whitebeard Pirates are close at hand, and may come in another day or two, Rasa feels even more irritable.
There is also a throbbing pain in the center of his eyebrows.
And for some reason, he always had a very bad premonition.
As if to confirm his bad premonition, a disturbance suddenly came from a direction in Sunagakure Village.
The disturbance in the middle of the night was particularly harsh.
Listening to the noise outside, Rasa frowned, "What's going on outside? Has Gaara been found?!"
"Kazekage-sama, I'll go take a look." The Anbu ninja who had been scolded for a long time immediately said.
"No need." Rasa stood up with a cold face, "I'll go myself!"
The ominous premonition in his heart began to intensify, causing Rasa to know something had happened.
He left the Kazekage office, took a few Anbu guards, jumped quickly over the buildings in the village, and rushed towards the direction of the disturbance.
Before long, Rasa arrived at the edge of Sunagakure Village.
He stood on the roof of a building, staring at the devastated scene in front of him, Rasa's eyes couldn't help but widen a bit.
"What is this?"
His pupils also contracted slightly, as if seeing some incredible scene, his face was full of horrified expressions.
In his line of sight, a huge ship appeared in Sunagakure Village.
The big ship knocked a hole in the thick village wall of Sunagakure Village, and even collapsed several buildings in the village.
Rasa's gaze kept moving upwards. Under the not-so-bright moonlight, he saw a pirate flag fluttering in the night wind.
That was the pirate flag of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Rasa suddenly took a breath of cold air, and an incredulous exclamation came out of his mouth, "Whitebeard Pirates!!!"
He didn't expect the Whitebeard Pirates to appear so abruptly, let alone appear in Sunagakure Village in the middle of the night!
That ship should be the Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates, right?
There should be that legendary Whitebeard on that ship, right?
A sense of tension and unease began to spread.
Rasa was very clear that the purpose of the Whitebeard Pirates coming to Sunagakure Village should be to snatch the tailed beast of Sunagakure Village.
But the problem is that the Jinchuriki is gone, and the tailed beast is gone.
Rasa's forehead oozed a few drops of sweat.
This is bad...
Trouble!
Even Rasa, the Kazekage, saw the Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates, let alone the other Sunagakure ninjas in the village.
One by one, the ninjas were attracted by the noise here, and then they saw a huge ship breaking into the village.
"This ship... the pirate flag on it... hiss!" A Sunagakure ninja couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, "It's pirates! It's the Whitebeard Pirates! The pirates are here!!!"
For the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates, many ninjas in the village actually made some psychological preparations in advance.
But the way the Whitebeard Pirates made their appearance was too abrupt, and it still scared them.
One by one, the ninjas of Sunagakure Village gradually gathered here.
Even Chiyo, Ebizo and others came over.
...
At the same time, on the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard, holding Murakumogiri, was already standing at the bow of the Moby Dick, his eyes overlooking the Sunagakure Village in front of him.
Whitebeard could see hundreds of Sunagakure ninjas gathering in front.
He could also feel that there were a few not simple guys in that group of ninjas.
"Gurara, there are really few people!"
Whitebeard made such a mocking joke, compared to Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village or Konohagakure Village, there are indeed not many ninjas in Sunagakure Village.
"Foolish son, where is your irresponsible biological father?!" Whitebeard asked Gaara.
Gaara was standing next to Whitebeard, and even though it was late at night, he saw Rasa at a glance.
Gaara gritted his teeth and replied, "That person over there is him!"
"Oh?" Whitebeard turned his head to look, raising an eyebrow: "He's a gloomy little brat, isn't he?"
And the people of Sunagakure Village also saw Whitebeard.
After all, his burly figure is indeed eye-catching.
Rasa took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, his face complex: "Whitebeard... these two years, the most popular person in the entire ninja world... it must be him, right?!"
"Indeed, just like the rumors, this height is not like a human height at all, and the momentum emanating from him is very amazing."
Rasa's heart sank slightly.
Even if Whitebeard didn't release the Conqueror's Haki, when Rasa saw Whitebeard for the first time, his heart felt as if it was pressed by a huge rock.
But the next second.
Rasa suddenly saw a person who made him feel very incredible.
Because his line of sight moved a little to the side of Whitebeard.
Rasa's first reaction was that he had seen it wrong.
He thought he was hallucinating.
But when he blinked, he found that the small figure was still standing next to Whitebeard...
Rasa realized that this was not an illusion, and he did not read it wrong.
"Gaara?!?!"
Rasa was stunned.
The familiar person he saw was obviously Gaara!
Rasa never expected that Gaara, who he had been looking for for so long and couldn't find, would appear in the Whitebeard Pirates!
What's going on?
...
