Naruto, Be My Son

Senju Tobirama, the Second Hokage of the Konohagakure Village also in his Edo Tensei form, kept his gaze fixed on the members of the Uchiha clan.

In response to his brother's foolish question...

Senju Tobirama answered expressionlessly, "That's because they resurrected us using the Edo Tensei in the ninja world, then sealed us, and after coming to this world, they released us again."

Senju Hashirama laughed heartily, "Ahahaha! Is that so?"

Senju Tobirama rolled his eyes and said with a snort, "The younger generation of our village is getting less and less impressive. To think that ninjas from our village would join something like the Whitebeard Pirates. What on earth is Sarutobi doing with the village?"

"And..."

He was utterly puzzled by the existence of another world.

He knew that Whitebeard had brought a group of people from the ninja world to this alternate world by harnessing the power of the dragon veins.

But how did Whitebeard travel to the ninja world before that?

What power did Whitebeard use at that time? Despite his dissatisfaction with the pirates, Senju Tobirama, in his Edo Tensei form, couldn't do much about it.

After all, Orochimaru had long since implanted a cursed seal kunai in the back of his head.

Tobirama's actions were largely under Orochimaru's control.

He never thought that one day the forbidden jutsu he developed would be used on himself.

This had Senju Tobirama looking quite grim these past few days, as if the Uchiha clan owed him a huge debt.

The thought of having to cooperate with a few inherently evil Uchiha brats to serve as a "weapon" for the Whitebeard Pirates made his expression even darker.

Yes.

Even these two former Hokages had been resurrected by Orochimaru's Edo Tensei.

And they were well aware of the current situation.

"It's a pity we lack Uchiha Madara's cells," Orochimaru followed behind with a sinister smile, "If we could resurrect that man too, the show would be even more spectacular."

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The expressions on each of the Five Elders' faces were as dramatic as could be. Who would have thought that Whitebeard could resurrect the Pirate King? And the group of people with Whitebeard...

They felt that this group was not simple, although they did not recognize who they were.

"Damn it... Gol D. Roger..." Saint Saturn clenched his teeth, his expression extremely dark, "If Whitebeard has the power to resurrect others, could he also bring back the likes of Rocks or Joy Boy?"

Even Saint Saturn was startled by the speculation that sprang to mind.

Resurrecting Rocks was one thing.

But resurrecting Joy Boy would shake the world.

He was a man who could truly threaten the rule of the World Government!

Saint Warcury, with a grim expression, had already landed on the island. Transformed into a huge monster, he said to Saint Saturn, "There's no turning back now. This battle is bound to happen..."

Everyone knows that today, the Five Elders were outplayed by Whitebeard.

Whitebeard intended to confront the Five Elders head-on, but that didn't mean he would do it alone.

The power controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates...

Even the Five Elders feared it! One Whitebeard could take on at least two of the Five Elders; one Pirate King Roger could handle one, right? And one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom, is currently battling Saint Nusjuro! That means, out of the Five Elders' formidable forces, four are about to be tied up, and that's in the best-case scenario.

This was nothing like they had anticipated.

They thought they could quickly surround and defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, maybe exerting a bit more effort to take down Whitebeard himself.

But the situation now seemed completely overturned.

...

Looking ahead at the Five Elders, Roger laughed, "Hahaha! Whitebeard, you're about to do something incredible! I never heard you say you wanted to be the king of the world!"

"Gurarararararara!"

 Whitebeard laughed heartily, "I don't want to be any damn king of the world. I just want to be a decent Pops, that's all!"

With that, Whitebeard's smile turned fierce, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"So it's you five guys who want to harm my family, huh? I couldn't care less about you, but since you've come knocking, you'll stay here forever!"

Without wasting words, as soon as he finished speaking, Whitebeard picked up his Murakumogiri and charged at "Saint Warcury." 

Whitebeard gripped the handle of Murakumogiri tightly and swung a massive slash through the air.

That slash, powerful enough to split the sea in two...

Made Saint Warcury's pupils shrink in an instant.

"Hahaha! I'll pick one too!" Roger laughed out loud, his spirited Haki radiating just as intensely as Whitebeard's.

He didn't have his usual sword "Ace" with him, just a well-crafted quick-draw sword.

But for a man of his caliber, it was enough.

The ground shattered under Roger's feet, and in a flash, he was right in front of "Saint Mars."

"Divine Evasion!"

Roger grinned and swung his sword in a slash! Facing this cut from the former Pirate King, Saint Mars felt a chill run down his spine.

"First and Second Hokage, please forgive me for not being able to bring out your full power as in your prime. But managing fifty or sixty percent should be possible."

Orochimaru smiled and slowly formed a hand seal.

Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, unable to control their own bodies, sprang into action.

"That brat, so rude!" Tobirama grumbled, but his body honestly rushed forward: "Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

As the Second Hokage of Konohagakure Village, Senju Tobirama's Water Release Ninjutsu was no different from "Sea Release."

Senju Hashirama also unleashed a Ninjutsu, and it was... Wood Release Ninjutsu from the First Hokage: "Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Giant trees rose from the ground, twisting together to form a massive wooden dragon.

This wooden dragon was so massive that even when the Five Elders transformed into monstrous beasts, they seemed as small as cats and dogs in comparison.

"What is that?!" Saint Peter looked up in a hurry, only to see a gigantic wooden dragon roaring towards him.

And right in front of him, a wall of water several tens of meters high surged forward.

On the other side, Saint Saturn's expression turned sour: "Who are these two? They can control water and wood? Devil Fruit users? Why haven't I heard of them?"

But just then, a chilling voice came from directly above Saint Saturn: "Have you... ever felt pain?"

Saint Saturn's observation Haki immediately sensed something was off.

As he looked up, he quickly wrapped his upper body in Armament Haki.

In an instant, a terrifying force...

Plummeted from above!

The immense power bent Saint Saturn's spider-like legs sharply downward.

The huge spider body smashed into the ground with a "snap," cracking the earth beneath it.

...

The battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the World Government escalated in an instant, with each of the Five Elders facing formidable opponents.

The seventy thousand elite troops they brought were desperately trying to reach the shore to support the Five Elders.

But clearly, the Whitebeard Pirates' large fleet and many officers were not about to let them interfere with Pops and the others' fight.

Marco transformed into a phoenix and with a flash, kicked a high-ranking CP organization agent flying.

As the agent struggled to stand up, blood at the corner of his mouth, Marco chuckled: "Our Whitebeard Pirates have come a long way from the past!"

"The Phoenix, Marco..." The high-ranking CP agent was inwardly lamenting.

Was he really expected to take on the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates?

Could he last even half an hour against him? "Pwah!!!" A giant over ten meters tall spat out blood.

He had been hit in the chest by Kisame's Great Shark Bullet Technique.

Kakashi raised a kunai to block a swordsman's strike.

"That was close..." Kakashi wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead, the force from the kunai numbing his palm: "It seems ninjas aren't quite cut out for close combat with seafarers; the hand-to-hand combat skills of people in this world are incredibly strong."

Naruto also joined the battle.

He knocked an enemy flying with a "Rasengan," but his face froze for a moment.

"Such a tough body."

In theory, the power of the Rasengan should be enough to pierce through a person's body, a force capable of shattering rocks.

Yet, when pressed against an enemy, it only managed to send them flying, as if hitting steel.

"Idiot Naruto!" Sasuke was fighting alongside Naruto against a group of enemies rushing towards them, taking a moment to remind him: "Didn't you see that person use Tekkai?"

"This is the power of youth and passion!" A loud, excited yell stood out sharply.

Might Guy leaped over Naruto and Sasuke's heads.

"Kakashi, I'm here to help! Konohagakure's Whirlwind! Ta-da!"

With one kick, he sent the swordsman facing Kakashi flying.

At this moment, a multitude of pirates and ninjas charged at the soldiers of the World Government.

Both sides unleashed their full power without reservation.

In this terrifying battlefield, where the combined forces numbered in the hundreds of thousands, any hesitation could mean instant death.

...

Meanwhile, on the battlefield of the Four Emperors...

Saint Warcury was now fully aware of how terrifying Whitebeard truly was.

"Gurarara! Is this all the Five Elders can muster after living so long? You're no different from that guy Kaido!" Whitebeard even taunted Saint Warcury.

He had every right to mock.

With a single slash, Whitebeard had cleaved Saint Warcury's body in two! But each of the Five Elders seemed to possess a bizarre "immortal body."

The body, sliced in half, visibly healed itself.

"Damn Whitebeard... How can this guy be so strong..."

Saint Warcury had forgotten what it was like to feel fear for many years.

Just now, when Whitebeard's blade split him in two, he actually felt fear!

He broke out in a cold sweat! Saint Warcury opened his massive maw, capable of swallowing several houses whole, and let out a furious roar imbued with the force of Conqueror's Haki, sending visible shockwaves towards Whitebeard.

Even Whitebeard narrowed his eyes at the exaggerated display of Conqueror's Haki.

"Gurarara, truly worthy of standing at the pinnacle of world power, such outrageous Conqueror's Haki!"

"But..." Whitebeard sneered, "Compared to that kid Red-Haired Shanks, your Conqueror's Haki is still lacking! And after living in luxury for so long, have you forgotten how to fight? Conqueror's Haki has no effect on the Four Emperors!"

Murakumogiri's blade was enveloped in vibrating light waves.

Whitebeard swung down heavily, the force of the spatial distortion erupting instantly.

Crack—

In an instant, the entire sky shattered.

The commotion caused by Whitebeard even made Roger and others involuntarily stop and turn their heads in his direction.

"Such power..." Roger's face broke into an even wider smile, "Whitebeard, you've grown stronger? Your power has far surpassed mine now!"

Senju Tobirama, while using Water Release to attack Saint Peter, shifted his gaze towards Whitebeard.

"What kind of Kekkei Genkai is this? Or is it... not a power from the ninja world, but from this alternate world?"

Senju Hashirama looked up at the cracks in the sky and the twisted space, exclaiming in awe, "So strong!"

At this moment, Saint Warcury, affected by Whitebeard's vibrating power, saw his massive monstrous body distorted by the vibrations.

Boom! Boom! Boom! His body was blasted apart by the vibrating force, almost unable to withstand Whitebeard's power, even with Armament Haki protecting him, it was of little use.

The entire battlefield was almost completely one-sided.

The Five Elders and their seventy thousand elite World Government troops were surprisingly being overpowered by a group of pirates and ninjas! Especially since they were also under siege from behind by the Big Mom Pirates.

Moreover, when comparing the high-end combat power of the World Government with that of the Whitebeard Pirates, it seemed they were slightly outmatched.

The battle had just begun, but it already seemed like the outcome was decided.

— Bang!!!

Saint Warcury's body was violently blasted apart.

But strangely, his body healed once again.

"Whitebeard, it's useless..." Saint Warcury clenched his teeth, suppressing the fear and palpitations in his heart: "The power we possess is beyond your imagination!"

"Gurarararararara!" Whitebeard didn't care at all, he laughed heartily: "An undying body, huh!"

"No worries..."

"My foolish sons and daughters are quite skilled at sealing techniques, just seal all five of you guys up and that'll do!"

"Gurararararara!"
