Konoha, Whitebeard: Naruto, Be My Son!

Chapter 22 The pineapple-headed kid

Ninja school is over, and many parents are standing at the door waiting.

What is different from usual times is that the parents who are usually short-sighted and competing with each other no longer talk in a buzzing manner.

Instead, they all looked at one person invariably, which was a six-meter-tall giant.

Whitebeard crossed his arms and stuck the knife on the ground. He was already used to the stares from around him.

Shikaku walked down the street boredly.

Originally, the child's mother was always the one to pick up the child, but she went back to her parents' home today, so Lu Jiu had to come to pick up the child after a long absence.

While he was looking at the rocks on the ground that were being kicked by him, he scratched his head and yawned.

"boom!"

At this time, he realized what he had hit.

The very hard touch reached his brain and made Shikaku fall over.

Shikaku looked up and saw a very thick thing standing in front of him.

Whose telephone pole? !

Touching the painful place where he was hit, Lu Jiu wondered, why are there telephone poles on the road?

At this time, an old and powerful voice came from above the "telephone pole":

"Pineapple-headed kid, are you okay?"

The pineapple-headed brat... Shikaku slowly raised his head. Just as he was about to complain about this title, he was suddenly choked in his throat and couldn't speak.

What came into view was a giant that covered the sky and the sun. It was estimated to be about six or seven meters tall.

The crescent-shaped beard looks a little funny, but when paired with that Haki face, it looks so perfect.

Under the cloak fluttering in the wind, strong muscles and ferocious scars are looming.

Shikaku was a little stunned. When had there ever been such a macho character in the ninja world?

I'm afraid even Raikage would be ashamed to wear clothes to cover his muscles in front of him.

While the deer was in a state of confusion, Whitebeard pulled it up and asked, "Are you coming to pick up the child too?"

Shikaku nodded in confusion: "You, are you too?"

He wanted to see what this giant's child would look like.

Whitebeard nodded, and the beard under his nose twitched: "That's right! I'll pick you up, my dear son!!!"

"Fortunately, it's a son..." Shikaku murmured. If it were a daughter, I don't know how irritating it would be to look like Whitebeard...

"What did you say?" Whitebeard turned his head and looked at Shikaku.

Oops! Speak your heart out! Lu Jiu twitched the corners of his lips, and then forced out a smile:

"I mean, it's good to have a son. The son will take care of people..."

Just as the two were chatting with each other, the ninja school was over.

"Jingle Bell!!!"

The school bell rang, followed by the sound of tables and chairs being moved, and then a bunch of children running out.

They ran and poured into the arms of their parents, eyeing Whitebeard curiously as they told their parents what had happened at school today.

At this time, Lu Jiu's eyes lit up and he quickly reached out and started swinging:

"Shikamaru!"

Shikamaru looked confused: "Dad?"

He was not wondering why his father was picking him up, but he was wondering why his father, who usually looked like he was about to die, could look so happy.

He looked to the side and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

It's no wonder that Dad felt so stressed when a giant over six meters tall was talking to him.

Shikamaru also ran over.

"Is this your child? Goo-la-la-la! He's not energetic enough! But he is smart!"

Whitebeard stretched out his big hand and directly covered Shikamaru's head. This kid looked a bit like Marco.

A pair of dead fish eyes revealed a sense of calmness and wisdom.

I really want to accept him as my son, but it's a pity that he has a father... Thinking like this, Whitebeard looked at Shikaku with regret.

Shikamaru showed his dead fish eyes and let Whitebeard rub his pineapple head, but nothing could come out of it.

Shikaku was a little surprised. He didn't expect Whitebeard to see the true nature of this kid at a glance.

At this time, Whitebeard suddenly waved his hand, and then shouted loudly:

"Son!! Here!!"

Shikaku looked over curiously, he wanted to see what Whitebeard's son looked like.

Shikamaru also took a breather from Whitebeard's big hand and looked back curiously.

In the sea of ​​children, I saw a flash of yellow that was very eye-catching, and their golden hair was beating up and down, rushing towards this side.

Shikamaru's dead eyes slowly widened: "No..."

Shikaku's eyes also changed from curiosity to a hint of solemnity.

It's actually...that child.

He looked sideways at Whitebeard, as if he wanted to see something from Whitebeard.

"Dad!!"

Naruto yelled as he ran and then wrapped Whitebeard's... thighs in a bear hug.

Although they hadn't seen each other for only a day, Naruto still missed his father very much.

At this time, Naruto finally understood the meaning of the word "missing", a word that he had not understood before.

Whitebeard chuckled as he grabbed Naruto's thigh and put it on his shoulder.

Shikamaru scratched his head strangely. Didn't he say that Naruto didn't have parents? He didn't have a father...

Lu Jiu glanced at Whitebeard a few times, and his tone was calmer than before:

"Mr. Whitebeard, is he your son?"

Whitebeard nodded: "Yes, pineapple-headed brat, this is my son, Uzumaki Naruto!"

Naruto sat on Whitebeard's shoulders and also waved his fist:

"Uncle Pineapple Head! I am Father Whitebeard's son!!"

Lu Jiu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Uncle Pineapple Head" is too unpleasant to hear.

"Pfft!"

Shikamaru laughed out loud. He looked at his father with some gloating: "Dad, that's a good title."

Shikaku pinched Shikamaru's face impatiently, then looked at Whitebeard inexplicably and said, "Then, let's leave first."

Then, he took Shikamaru's hand and left.

Whitebeard looked at Shikaku's back for a while, and then said to Naruto:

"Son! Let's go! Go to the Forest of Death to hunt and eat!!"

Naruto raised his arms and shouted: "Okay!!"

The voices of the father and son were enough to disturb the people, but the surrounding villagers dared not speak out. They watched Whitebeard carry Naruto on his shoulders, and several Moonwalkers left here.

Shikaku held Shikamaru's hand, his expression more serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shikamaru looked at Shikaku and asked, "Boss, it's Naruto's dad. Is there any problem?"

Shikaku opened his mouth, about to say something, but then stopped.

Shikamaru didn't push him. He knew that when his father wanted to say something, he would naturally say it.

Recalling Naruto's happy expression, Shikamaru sighed, it was an expression he had never seen before.

Even though Naruto laughed after the prank, there was a hint of loneliness in his laughter.

Unlike before, Naruto's laughter was sincerely warm and happy, without a trace of other emotions.

At this time, Shikaku spoke: "Well, you just need to know that Mr. Whitebeard is not a bad person."

Shikamaru seemed to understand something, and the two father and son walked towards home silently.
