Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

The "domestic violence" that unfolded in full view of everyone finally came to an end with the reconstruction of dozens of buildings in Konoha Village and the fact that Lord Sengen's allowance for the next month was completely deducted.

However, the aftermath of this farce far exceeded everyone's expectations.

When the villagers of Konoha talked about the man who stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world during their leisure time, their faces no longer showed simple awe and fear.

"Did you hear? Lord Sengen was knocked off the Hokage Rock by the Hokage-sama with a single punch that day!"

"That's not all! I saw it with my own eyes. He was hiding behind the Third Hokage's statue, and the Hokage punched him, and half of the Third Hokage's face was gone!"

"Haha, what's that? The roof of my dumpling shop was collapsed by the Hokage's foot! But speaking of which, having such a... well, down-to-earth guardian deity makes me feel quite at ease."

The awe remains, but that lofty divinity has been completely washed away by that chaotic chase.

When people mention him, they think of how he split a mountain with a single sword strike, and they also think of how his wife chased him all over the village.

He is no longer a cold symbol, a monster living in legend.

He is a real person with flesh and blood, who can joke, make mistakes, and be afraid of his wife.

This sense of closeness brings an unprecedented, heartfelt sense of pride and belonging.

Our guardian angel is incredibly strong, yet also genuinely cowardly.

……

The Land of Iron, a neutral territory at the crossroads of three nations.

In a snow-covered valley, a secret meeting is underway.

The Four Shadows Meeting.

Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure; A, the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure; Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure; and Shizuka Mizuki, the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure.

The four men, who stood at the pinnacle of power in the ninja world, all had solemn expressions at this moment, and the atmosphere in the conference room was so oppressive that it could freeze the air.

Konoha did not send anyone.

Or perhaps they didn't receive an invitation at all.

"Tell me about it."

Onoki's aged voice broke the silence.

His short body hovered in mid-air, his cloudy eyes revealing no emotion.

"You all know about Konoha's recent activities."

"snort!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, known for his fiery temper, slammed his fist on the table, instantly cracking the hard ironwood surface.

"We don't just know! That bastard named Shuo Ye Qianxuan has completely humiliated us!"

His intelligence report contained a detailed record of Qianxuan's speech at that public meeting.

Unify the ninja world?

What arrogance!

"Hey, calm down."

Luo Sha's voice was somewhat hoarse. He picked up his teacup, wanting to take a sip of water to moisten his throat, but found that his hands were trembling violently.

He closed his eyes, and the image of the sword light that descended from the heavens and cleaved through the mountains several days ago uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

That wasn't intelligence; it was a miracle he had witnessed with his own eyes.

"Rasa, you signed that agreement with Konoha, and now you're acting like a peacemaker?"

Ai's tone was full of sarcasm.

Luo Sha gripped her hand even tighter.

"I had no other choice."

He opened his eyes, and his usually gloomy eyes were bloodshot.

"Your intelligence only says that he cut through the mountain range. But do you know how deep or how long that canyon is?"

"I sent people to measure it. That canyon stretches from the border of the Land of Rain all the way to the heart of the Land of Wind, with a total length of more than two hundred miles. At its deepest point... it is bottomless."

"He only used one knife."

The meeting room fell silent once again.

Even the Raikage, who was furious just moments before, was speechless.

One slash, two hundred miles.

What does this mean?

This means that if that man wanted to, he could also wipe Kumogakure off the map with a single strike.

"One year ago, at the Kannabi Bridge."

Onoki's voice echoed softly.

"I remember he was just a greenhorn back then, surrounded and nearly killed by my Iwa ninja. But that kid, on the verge of death, destroyed our most important supply line."

"One year."

Onoki raised a finger, his wrinkles deepening with his serious expression.

"In just one year, he's grown to this level. Don't you find this rate of growth... terrifying?"

The Third Mizukage, Mizuki Shizuka, who had been silent all along, trembled almost imperceptibly.

He knew better than anyone else present how terrifying Uchiha Madara was.

That man had used illusion magic to manipulate him at will, making him a sinner of Kirigakure.

However, Madara Uchiha had his principles and bottom line in doing things.

His actions, though extreme, were not without precedent.

But the night is mysterious...

This man acts entirely on whim, without any logic.

He wasn't joking.

He's just...too strong.

He was so powerful that the rules of the entire world became a canvas he could paint on at will.

"We are not facing a second Madara Uchiha."

Onoki gave his final summary, his voice filled with a weariness and helplessness that came from the depths of his soul.

"But a monster, even more unpredictable and dangerous than Uchiha Madara."

……

Meanwhile, in Konoha, in the Hokage's office.

Tsunade signed her name on the last document with a flourish of her pen.

"From today onwards, advisors Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado will retire."

Her voice echoed in the quiet office, clear and firm.

"Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha will take over as advisors to the Hokage."

Minato and Fugaku, standing below, exchanged a glance and knelt down on one knee.

"yes!"

"Furthermore, Shizune is appointed as the Hokage's Chief Secretary, and Sakuya Chigen..."

Tsunade paused, glanced at the man lying on the sofa, covering his face with "Icha Icha Paradise" and pretending to be asleep, and her lips twitched.

"...Special assistant secretary to the Hokage."

"puff."

Shizune, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The chief secretary and the special assistant secretary may sound similar, but their statuses are worlds apart.

The former was the Hokage's right-hand man, while the latter... to put it bluntly, was just a handyman.

On this day, Tsunade's team was finally officially completed.

The retirement of the two former advisors marks the complete end of the Third Hokage era.

The appointment of Minato and Fugaku to their posts signifies that the village's power structure has completed a generational shift.

She held the entire Leaf Village firmly in her grasp.

Just then, an ANBU ninja appeared silently in the center of the office.

"Lord Hokage, S-rank intelligence."

Tsunade took the scroll and unrolled it.

"The target, 'Kakuzu,' has been located and is currently active within the Land of Water."

Qianxuan, who was lying on the sofa, had the book covering his face slip off.

He sat up, stretched, and his bones cracked and popped.

"The Land of Water..."

He stroked his chin, a thoughtful smile appearing on his face.

"Perfect timing, I should go see my 'fiancée'."

A vein throbbed on Tsunade's forehead.

"By the way, it's time to bring my 'financial chief' back as well."

Qianxuan stood up, walked to Tsunade's side, and said with a grin,

"Honey, approve some funds; I need to go on a business trip."

He looked at Tsunade's "What are you up to now?" face and added.

"While we're on this trip, let's also check if there are any orphans with bloodline limits in the Land of Water. Our Konoha talent recruitment program can't stop."

"Besides, Orochimaru's lab needs a few capable assistants, doesn't it?"
