I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

"Although he sometimes likes to joke with the villagers, I absolutely believe that the villagers like him very much, not just what they seem on the surface."

Uzumaki Naruto said.

In the video footage, Miss Nami also seemed unsure of what to do.

Although there was a lot of resentment, I was ultimately outnumbered.

Although I also wanted to stall for time, the pirates in front of me were no fools.

They also knew they had to hurry up the slope.

"Now that I've knocked down the obstacle in our way, everyone, let's rush up together!"

"Captain Crowe is still waiting for us."

In the scene, Hai, carrying a large iron hammer, loudly calls out to his companions behind him.

It's as if he's the captain of this pirate ship.

The hypnotist captain stood in the crowd, looking at the long-nosed man lying on the ground and the woman in front of him, and really didn't know what to say.

Are these two idiots really here to get themselves killed?

Don't you know your own limitations?

They actually dared to stand up so openly to stop them from attacking the village; they were simply overestimating themselves.

"Yes, yes..."

The pirates behind him shouted loudly.

Then, carrying their weapons, they strode towards the village.

This guy carrying a big iron hammer also wanted to stride into the village with vigorous steps.

Just as I was about to take a step, I suddenly felt as if my right foot was being firmly gripped by something.

Then, looking down, he realized that the long-nosed guy hadn't been knocked unconscious by his own blow.

After hearing what the pirates were saying, Usopp mustered his last strength and reached out his left hand to grab the right foot of the pirate carrying the hammer.

Just hold on tight like this, not letting this guy take another step?

"That's amazing! Usopp is really amazing. He got hit by that guy's huge hammer."

"He wasn't knocked unconscious and remained conscious."

Naruto Uzumaki saw Usopp's hand firmly gripping the pirate's foot and immediately felt admiration.

"Yes, he is truly respectable."

Is Usopp really not afraid of death at all?

"If you just lie on the ground and pretend to be dead..."

"These pirates might not take his life, and he might even escape by sheer luck."

Just then, Jiraiya, who was standing to the side, spoke up with a smile.

"The way you're talking makes it sound like Usopp is such a coward who's afraid of death."

"If he really is a coward who is afraid of death."

“He abandoned these villagers long ago and fled alone, and he won’t bother with this anymore.”

"Usopp had long been prepared to die..."

Chapter 818 He is definitely not the kind of person who is afraid of death.

　"Although they are timid, they did it to protect the village."

"Usopp is willing to sacrifice his life; he is definitely not the kind of person who is afraid of death."

Senju Hashirama said.

"But even if he grabs one of the pirate's feet, so what?"

"Even with his and Nami's combined strength, they still couldn't stop these pirates."

"Actually, I think it's better not to make a move. Just lie here obediently, and we won't have to worry even if these pirates invade the village."

"After all, Roronoa Zoro and Luffy are in this village."

"If those two guys hear the shouting, they'll definitely rush towards the sound."

Madara Uchiha said.

"If we can't stop these pirates down this slope, once they rush into the village, the first person they'll deal with is the young lady."

"By the time Luffy and his crew hear the shouts of battle, the young lady will probably have already been killed by these pirates."

"There wasn't enough time to rescue the young lady."

"Usopp is worried about the young lady's safety, which is why he's risking his life to stop these pirates."

Uzumaki Naruto said.

"I didn't expect you to be so resilient."

"You ate my huge iron rod and you're still not unconscious?"

"But even if you're still alive, so what?"

"It's just a matter of catching your breath a few more times."

The pirate carrying a giant iron hammer said to Usopp with a disdainful look.

He was absolutely right. Even if Usopp were still alive, he wouldn't be able to stop these pirates.

"Please, please don't attack my village."

"Don't hurt the villagers in the village."

Usopp ignored his injured body.

Although blood was still flowing from his mouth, he was still pleading with the pirates not to continue attacking the village.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Let go of my hand right now! Don't you know we're real pirates?"

"If you continue like this, I will definitely kill you."

"If you've survived by sheer luck, you should cherish it."

"After all, a person only has one life. I'm not being lenient with you, it's just that you're very resilient."

The pirate carrying the giant iron hammer spoke to Usopp, who was standing at his feet.

"I don't care what you do to me. Even if you kill me right now, I'll do it willingly."

"I beg you, please don't hurt the villagers in this village."

"Because everyone in this village is the person I love most, I'd rather shoulder it all alone."

Usopp, still lying on the ground, pleaded desperately.

Upon hearing what Usopp had just said, Nami couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence.

Although this guy is a bit of a braggart and a coward, judging from what he just said, he must be a loyal and righteous person.

Suddenly, Miss Nami felt that the long-nosed man in front of her was very similar to her own experience.

The reason I went through all that trouble, risking my life to sneak onto the pirate ship and steal those treasures was precisely for my village and the villagers in it.

"At this moment, I suddenly feel that Usopp is so great."

Naruto Uzumaki, standing before him, took a deep breath and then spoke.

Chapter 819 He only appeared at the crucial moment

　"Usopp is great to begin with, he's just an ordinary person right now."

Angle narrowed his eyes slightly, then spoke.

"They've already been beaten to the point of vomiting blood and are on the verge of death by this guy, yet they still haven't forgotten their responsibilities."

Naruto Uzumaki continued to praise.

"That's exactly what Usopp thought and did. He's never been a coward."

"He just hasn't reached the point where he can hit the bullseye every time, so he can't compare to his father."

But at that moment, Deidara, who was standing to the side, heard what the former had just said, pondered for a moment, and then spoke up.

"Why haven't Luffy and Roronoa Zoro shown up yet?"

"Let's not wait until these pirates have smashed Usopp's head flat before these two guys show up."

Naruto Uzumaki said anxiously.

"Probably not, it will only appear when Usopp's life is in danger."

Deidara said with certainty.

"They only appear at crucial moments, which makes them seem so amazing."

Kisame Hoshigaki said.

"makes sense."

Naruto Uzumaki nodded knowingly and said.

Naruto Uzumaki understood that this was indeed the actual situation.

"Because every time I appear on screen, it's because my partner is threatened."

"Only then will one suddenly unleash tremendous power and make a dazzling appearance."

"You bastard, you bastard, get your filthy hands off me right now."

In the video footage, the pirate is still cursing Usopp at his feet.

Then he kept kicking Usopp's head and back with his other foot.

Even so, Usopp's hand remained firmly gripping his other foot, showing no intention of letting go.

"Let go now, Usopp. If you keep doing this, you'll get killed."
