Following Naruto to his home, Zephyr and Arcanine faced a dilemma. Their physiques simply couldn't fit through the door.
In the pirate world, people had trouble moving around here.
"Go pack up and take the important things with you."
Zephyr stood at the door, ultimately deciding not to squeeze in.
He instructed Naruto to bring some important items, such as bedding and clothes, which were unnecessary to take.
However, for Naruto, these items were the most precious, and he couldn't think of anything else to bring.
In the end, Naruto came out with a small bag containing items of great sentimental value to him, though not of much monetary value.
"Alright, you can stay here for the night. I'll prepare a room for you. I'll pick you up after school tomorrow."
Zephyr glanced inside but didn't say much more.
Clearly, Naruto's living conditions were poor, very frugal.
Despite being eight years old, there were no toys or things for children in the house.
Zephyr didn't know that children in the ninja world matured early, with some having battle experience at six.
In Zephyr's memory, at eight, he was playing the "hero of justice - Z," fighting against bad kids.
"Okay! Grandpa, are you leaving now?"
Naruto looked at Zephyr and Arcanine with some reluctance.
"Yes."
Zephyr nodded.
Although he wasn't heavily involved in day-to-day matters, he wasn't idle.
He was responsible for training new Navy recruits and Pokémon trainers, which kept him quite busy.
It wasn't late, around eight o'clock, and he planned to return and continue training his students.
"Alright, Grandpa, and Arcanine, see you tomorrow."
Naruto obediently nodded and waved goodbye to Zephyr and Arcanine.
Bang.
Zephyr closed the door and left the ninja world with Arcanine.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.
Dak was sipping tea brewed by Anbu newcomer Yūgao.
The taste was mediocre.
Dak smacked his lips, not intending to savor the tea.
"What I'm talking about is doing business related to Pokémon."
Dak didn't intend to keep Hiruzen guessing any longer.
He had enjoyed himself today and didn't feel like messing with Sarutobi Hiruzen any further.
"Oh?"
"I'm planning to open a shop on Konoha's main street, specializing in selling Pokémon eggs and various Pokémon-related services. Of course, there are also many items useful for humans."
"Sell... Pokémon eggs?"
Hiruzen hesitated, thinking of the various creatures beside those Marines.
For instance, that large red dog-like creature next to Mr. Zephyr, full of fire energy.
In Hiruzen's eyes, those so-called Pokémon were essentially superior versions of summon beasts.
"Pokémon can be considered superior to summon beasts. Anything summon beasts can do, Pokémon can do better, and Pokémon can do much more."
Dak seemed to read Hiruzen's mind.
This was understandable.
Summon beasts and Pokémon were very similar, be it their attributes (ninjutsu), Poké Balls (summoning scrolls), and so on.
"Most summon beasts lack attributes, making it very difficult for ninjas to find ones that match their chakra nature or complement it."
Dak pointed out a fact.
Although the Sarutobi clan's ancestral summon beast was the Enma, it didn't suit Hiruzen, the Ninjutsu Professor.
Enma's original form was like the Four-Tails, based on the Oriental Monkey King, Sun Wukong, with an indestructible body and the ability to transform into a staff.
Even though Orochimaru called Enma the "strongest summon beast," its core nature was indestructibility.
Turning into a staff and being handed to Hiruzen was like giving a close-combat weapon to a mage.
Among the ninja with the best synergy with their summon beasts:
One was Tsunade with Katsuyu.
The other was Danzo.
Danzo's summon beast was a Baku, proficient in Wind Release, complementing Danzo's Wind Release skills well. However, the Baku itself wasn't strong, mainly serving as support in battle.
As for Orochimaru with Manda and Jiraiya with Gamabunta.
These combinations were strong individually, and their techniques were similar, but it didn't mean their synergy was high.
In battles, they often fought separately, with little cooperation.
Minato with Manda or Gamabunta would have been better combinations.
"But Pokémon have eighteen types in total, with various types and combat styles, so there's no such thing as not finding a suitable partner."
Dak emphasized this point.
Sasuke could get an Electric-type Pokémon, Might Guy could get a Fighting-type Pokémon, Tsunade could get a Blissey or Chansey. In short, among the thousands of Pokémon, there's bound to be one suitable for these ninjas.
"If it's as you say, it would greatly increase the ninjas' mission success rate and combat ability on the battlefield."
Hiruzen began to seriously consider Dak's business proposal.
Such a business was clearly beneficial to Konoha, especially with its current lack of combat strength.
"Training Pokémon doesn't require a huge investment. Their growth rate is fast initially, and their growth cycle is short. In about a month, they can reach Chūnin level strength, and in six months, they can reach Jōnin level strength."
Dak didn't mention the rest.
These ninjas' strength was too weak compared to Pokémon. Jōnin-level strength was about Lv.30 or Lv.40 in Pokémon terms.
Monet's Gardevoir or Sugar's Mismagius could easily defeat these Jōnin.
The problem wasn't their attack power or techniques but their fragile bodies that couldn't withstand Pokémon attacks.
Techniques like Psychic, Night Shade, Nightmare, Hypnosis would be impossible for these ninjas to dodge or endure. Of course, exceptional Jōnin like Might Guy were an exception. Dak referred to typical Jōnin like Kurenai or Ebisu.
"What?!"
Hiruzen was shocked by the potential of "Pokémon."
If these Pokémon were as powerful as Dak described, they might as well stop training ninjas, which was time-consuming and expensive.
Instead, they could focus on training Pokémon.
"Also, that Dialga you saw earlier is a Pokémon, and it's not the strongest. There are stronger Pokémon, and Dialga itself can grow even more powerful."
Dak revealed another bombshell, making Hiruzen realize the immense potential of Pokémon.
"Then why are you willing to share this power with others?"
Hiruzen still had concerns.
Someone like him wouldn't easily trust someone he just met. If Pokémon were as good as Dak said, why would Dak share this power?
This concern had also been present with Sengoku and others.
"Why not?"
Dak responded and explained, "In Pokémon Island, my world, there are many Pokémon, and they often form partnerships with humans they like."
"This..."
"Perhaps in your eyes, you wouldn't share such power because you'd fear others using it against you, similar to how you handle Jinchūriki."
"Uh."
Dak's words were too blunt, making Hiruzen feel awkward.
He wanted to explain but decided against it.
As a leader, he knew there was no point in pretending in front of Dak, who likely understood his thoughts well.
"Frankly, this mindset comes from not being strong enough. Did your First Hokage Hashirama ever worry?"
One statement enlightened Hiruzen.
Indeed, if he had Hashirama's strength, there'd be no need to guard the Nine-Tails so closely. Let others take it; it wouldn't matter.
In battle, the Nine-Tails would still be captured easily.
"So, you aren't worried about others using Pokémon's power against you?"
Hiruzen looked at Dak, probing for his combat strength.
Dak replied openly:
"Of course not. Pokémon grow quickly initially, but their growth slows, needing trainers' efforts to progress. This timeframe is unknown."
"A trainer might die over several generations, and their Pokémon still wouldn't be strong enough to oppose us."
"Besides, you've seen it. Dialga can take me back in time."
"If someone uses Pokémon against us in the future and I can't beat them, I can go back decades and eliminate them."
These words made Hiruzen even more fearful of opposing Dak.
He truly feared Dak might travel back seventy years and prevent his parents from meeting, erasing his existence.

After understanding what Pokémon truly were, Hiruzen had no objections to Dak opening a branch on Konoha's main street.
On one hand, Pokémon offered many benefits to Konoha.
On the other, Hiruzen wanted to establish good relations with the Pokémon Alliance. This way, in case of war, they might request military support.
Moreover, with the Pokémon Alliance's strength clearly demonstrated, Hiruzen didn't dare say "no."
Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Danzo were all similar in being suspicious and deeply scheming.
Among them, Danzo was the one who inherited most from Tobirama.
Despite his many foolish actions, Danzo was the most like Tobirama, particularly in targeting the Uchiha, conducting biological experiments, and having a hardline approach.
As for Hiruzen... In his younger years, Hiruzen's achievements were undeniable. Training the "Three Sannin" alone was a remarkable accomplishment.
However, as he aged and held power longer, Hiruzen became increasingly muddled.
Though he had issues with the Uchiha, he didn't want to show it.
Even though he tacitly approved of Danzo's human experiments, he maintained a righteous image.
Such contradictions were common. The incident with Sakumo stemmed from Hiruzen's personal concerns about Sakumo threatening Minatos rise.
However, it's worth noting that Hiruzen's character had contradictions because Kishimoto originally planned for him to be a villain in an early, canceled work.
In that story, Hiruzen was depicted as the evil boss, while the protagonist was a fox demon. When Naruto was created, Hiruzen retained some traits from that earlier villain, while the protagonist changed drastically. This caused some inconsistencies in his character.
After some negotiation...
Konoha did not charge the Pokémon Nursery for land fees or taxes.
Hiruzen even had the Sarutobi clan become VIP members by purchasing a Pokédex and requested a hundred blue-quality Pokémon eggs.
This was equivalent to spending 100 million ryo to buy a hundred quickly growing summon beasts.
For the Hokage, 100 million ryo was a trivial amount.
Of course, the wealthiest individuals were probably still from the Shimura clan, Koharu, and Homura.
However, Dak rejected Hiruzen's request.
Dak wasn't sure how the Sarutobi clan would treat the Pokémon, so he was cautious.
In the ninja world, ninjas and their summon beasts were generally partners, so their attitude toward Pokémon would likely be similar.
But a few individuals, like Danzo, Orochimaru, and Hiruko, were so extreme that they might dissect Pokémon for experiments.
To address this concern, Dak proposed that a Pokémon Alliance inspection team be stationed in Konoha to monitor the ninjas' actions.
If Hiruzen could accept this condition, Dak would agree to the Sarutobi clan's request for a hundred Pokémon eggs.
Unfortunately, Hiruzen couldn't accept this condition.
Neither could the other three Konoha Elders.
They couldn't tolerate such a powerful force stationed in their village.
Dak, while capable of forcing the issue, remained relaxed, sitting with his legs crossed.
He believed that once Hiruzen visited Pokémon Island, he would understand the correct course of action.
...
The next day.
Naruto woke up early and headed to the ninja school.
Usually, Naruto was late, but today was different.
He was so excited about this day that he woke up naturally.
"Today, I'm going to my new home."
When Naruto arrived at the ninja school, there was only one person in the classroom.
Hinata.
Naruto ignored her.
In his view, this shy girl was too timid. In contrast, Sakura was much bolder and braver.
Besides, Naruto was busy thinking about his own matters.
Last night, the Third Hokage visited him and asked many questions.
Naruto answered everything honestly because Dak had told him that the Third Hokage would come to ask questions and that he should answer truthfully.
"Big brother Dak is amazing, predicting everything, and..."
Naruto, sitting in his seat and swinging his short legs, recalled the moment when Dak used Conqueror's Haki to hold him. "He's so cool... Can I be as cool as him one day?"
"That brother is indeed very handsome."
A tiny voice like a mosquito spoke, making Naruto turn his head.
It was the white-eyed girl speaking.
"Right, right."
Originally, Naruto didn't intend to acknowledge Hinata, but seeing her agree with him felt like finding a kindred spirit, improving his impression of her.
"Were you questioned yesterday?"
Hinata glanced at the door, ensuring no one was coming, then asked quietly.
"Yeah, the Third Hokage asked me some questions." "Oh, I was questioned too."
Hinata nodded.
However, unlike Naruto, Hinata chose to pretend she knew nothing and said nothing.
"Starting today, I'm moving to Pokémon Island to live with Grandpa."
Naruto couldn't resist bragging to Hinata.
Kids are like that, eager to share good news with everyone.
"Eh?"
Hinata was genuinely surprised.
"Hehe, didn't know that, did you?"
Seeing Hinata's reaction, Naruto felt a surge of pride and couldn't help but rub his nose, "You can come to my house and play sometime. I'll show you around Alliance City."
Naruto, who hadn't even seen his new home yet, acted as if he was already familiar with Alliance City.
"Okay."
Hinata nodded, genuinely wanting to visit Alliance City.
It seemed like a wonderful place, relaxed and free, without needing to care about others' opinions. Hinata was a bit envious of Naruto living there.
Soon, more students arrived, and Hinata quietly returned to her seat.
She didn't want to stand out by talking to Naruto in front of everyone.
Sometimes she envied Shino, who was always unnoticed.
"Hey, Naruto! What happened yesterday? I heard you were with those outsiders all day."
Kiba, with his dog Akamaru, was the first to rush in.
Kiba was straightforward and didn't care what questions were appropriate, eagerly sitting on Naruto's desk.
"Humph... Yesterday, I was showing Grandpa and Big Brother Dak around the village!"
Naruto couldn't contain his excitement, immediately boasting.
"Really? I heard those people were something else, looking really strong."
"Of course they were strong. That green-haired man released an eerie attack that no one else in the ninja world can match. Though I didn't see it myself, it's said that all the Anbu members around him instantly fell."
Naruto hadn't even answered Kiba when the new Ino-Shika-Cho trio walked in.
Speaking was the 'Shika' of the group, Shikamaru.
"At first, everyone thought it was a genjutsu, but my dad said it wasn't. It was probably just him releasing his aura."
Next to him, Ino whispered.
Ino's father, Inoichi, was the head of the Analysis Department and an idol for many intelligence ninjas, knowing more than most.
"If that's the case, that man is terrifying. His aura alone can be more effective than genjutsu."
Chouji, munching on chips, shared his view.
Though these kids were only about eight, their conversations were far from simple.
"That was Big Brother Dak. He's amazing, the 'God' of Pokémon Island."
Naruto flaunted his limited knowledge of Dak.
After all, he had heard people in Alliance City call Dak the 'Creator God,' though more often 'Leader.'
"A god? That's an exaggeration."
"Yeah, he's strong, but not a god."
"I still think the Third Hokage is stronger."
Each child had their own opinion, having only a limited understanding of what Dak showed yesterday.
Hiruzen didn't let others know about Dak's ability to time travel, keeping it secret.
Only Hiruzen knew why he sealed this information.
Time passed, and finally, dismissal time arrived, much to Naruto's excitement.
"Class dismissed. Be careful on your way home and remember to gather your belongings," the teacher reminded before leaving.
Naruto, having packed early, dashed out of the classroom, running towards the school gate.
At the gate, Zephyr stood out like a giant among the crowd, making other parents feel uncomfortable with his powerful presence.
"Grandpa!!!"
Naruto shouted loudly from a distance.
He wanted everyone to know he had family too.
