From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

"As the Hokage's son, you haven't received any special privileges. On the contrary, because you have to handle so many things, you haven't received any of your father's love."

Danzo's voice was deep yet filled with a peculiar power.

Every sentence is so captivating that it draws you in and evokes memories.

"I remember it wasn't like this when Hiruzen Sarutobi was Hokage. His eldest son was the captain of the Hokage's direct ANBU, and even if his second son disagreed with his beliefs, he was able to leave the village and go to the Fire Temple to serve as one of the Twelve Guardian Shinobi."

"More than a decade ago, if a ninja left the village without a mission, that was considered desertion..."

"And even now, his grandson enjoys privileges that ordinary people can only dream of. He's been called 'Young Master' by a Jonin since childhood. And what do you have?"

Strange energy flowed through the shelter, and Naruto's gaze, which had been searching for an opportunity, gradually blurred.

In my mind, the anticipation and disappointment I felt on my birthdays when I was a child resurfaced.

His mother would always tell him that his father was very busy, because he was the Hokage, or because of all sorts of problems.

The mindset that had been long since let go was now thrown off balance again by the contrast brought about by Danzo's words.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was concluded in his ideological education class to be a disqualified Kage, and he had also been questioned in the past.

But that's how it is...

At this moment, Danzo turned to look at Sasuke.

"Uchiha Sasuke, your father never acknowledged you. The only son he ever recognized was Uchiha Itachi, who was widely regarded as a genius."

"Think about it... Every time your brother comes home, he can discuss things with your father, while you are ignored time and time again."

"What's more... you're almost losing your title as a genius. At twelve years old, you still can't open your eyes, nor have you awakened your domineering aura."

"The gap between the eldest and second sons of the Uchiha clan head is becoming increasingly apparent. Are you... truly willing to accept this?"

"This world is realistic; only those with power can earn respect, and that gentleman was no exception."

"So, Uchiha Sasuke... do you want power? The Sharingan, or Haki?"

……

As the voices faded away, Sasuke's gaze also became lost.

The next moment, Danzo turned to look at Sakura.

At this moment, Sakura kept her eyes fixed on the other party, completely unaware that something was wrong with her companion.

However, Danzo spoke up at this moment: "You... have no value. You have no value in existing. You have ordinary bloodline, nothing at all."

Sakura's voice trembled slightly, and her calves were shaking, but she still did not back down.

His inner personality is roaring.

This old man, Bi Deng, has a big conspiracy!

There's more than one explosive tag buried deep in the shelter; this old geezer's target is the village!

Sakura, who has also received education in the new ideology, is love-struck, but she is also able to analyze the current situation clearly.

Of the three, she was the weakest.

If the village is to discover the other side's plot, someone must be able to escape.

With this in mind, I made my decision.

His right hand moved slightly, but then stopped.

The other party is Danzo! That evil man who was publicly tried and executed a few years ago was also one of the village's high-ranking officials in the past.

The code words you've learned won't fool the other party.

"run!"

After a roar, Sakura suddenly charged forward, dragging five explosive tags behind the kunai she had taken out.

However, the next moment, his entire body stopped in place, his forward-rushing posture as if time had frozen.

Beneath Sakura's feet, strands of black curse marks slowly climbed, gradually binding her entire body.

The Seal of Self-Karma Mantra!

Danzo glanced at Sakura: "Your courage is commendable, but it's meaningless. Your existence is insignificant."

"Sasuke! Naruto!"

At this moment, Sakura realized that she wasn't the only one affected, and Sasuke and Naruto both hung their heads and remained unmoved.

Illusion?

That's right. Even if they fight desperately, how could three genin possibly defeat a former village leader?

Even Sasuke and Naruto couldn't do it, so it's even more impossible for me, being the worst of Team 7.

I was just a genin, and my father was just an ordinary chunin; there was nothing particularly noteworthy about him.

He was just an ordinary student at school, lacking even the family's secret techniques compared to Ino. All he learned was the Three Body Technique and kunai throwing, which was quite ordinary.

So ordinary, just as the other person said, that my existence has no value.

Danzo looked at Naruto and Sasuke: "One is Minato Namikaze's son, the other is Fugaku Uchiha's son, plus the explosive tags that cover the entire Hidden Leaf Village, I'm looking forward to seeing what they will choose."

Sakura, who was bound by the cursed seal, suddenly looked up upon hearing this.

Explosive tags covering... the entire Hidden Leaf Village?

How is that possible?!

The inner personality within him is also roaring.

Although she had guessed that the target was the village, the explosive tags covering the entire Hidden Leaf Village meant that there would be a large number of casualties, including her parents and companions, as well as many villagers.

At this moment, Danzo looked at the Root organization beside him: "A total of twelve nodes have been modified. Are they all ready?"

The ninja who had accompanied Danzo bowed slightly: "We are ready to launch at any time, awaiting your command."

Danzo glanced at Naruto and Sasuke again.

"As expected of an excellent bloodline, even without awakening any domineering aura, it is still resisting."

Then, Danzo tapped his ear.

He began, "The first step of the plan has been more than accomplished, and we have captured Minato Namikaze's son and Fugaku Uchiha's second son. We can begin now."

……

Meanwhile, on the edge of the Fire Region.

Minato Namikaze and his two companions were on their way, with Kurama (the Nine-Tails) and San-Tails close behind.

"Currently, horse-drawn carriages are too slow, so it's better for us to travel on our own. However, I've heard that the research institute in the main region has developed a power unit, which will allow us to build transportation between regions in the future."

Hyuga Hizashi said, then used his Byakugan to survey his surroundings.

Obito Uchiha, who was standing nearby, said, "There's no need for such frequent reconnaissance. With Master's Observation Haki, no one can launch a sneak attack."

The Nine-Tails leaped up and landed directly on Obito's shoulder.

"We're almost at the Land of Rain of the past. If the enemy makes any moves, this is the best place..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nine-Tails suddenly looked ahead.

At the same time, Minato Namikaze also raised his hand and stopped.

Hyuga Hizashi activated his Byakugan, and blue energy burst forth around his eye sockets.

"Not those white monsters, but three people."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice, "We've been following them for two hours. If we weren't going to launch a sneak attack, we were just following them. Now that we've shown ourselves, are we getting impatient?"

Three figures landed on a tree trunk not far away.

All three were very young, one of them even looked more like a child.

"How about we make a deal, Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a spell moved and climbed up the tree.

At the same time, Minato Namikaze disappeared from the spot.

"Buzz..."

He condensed a Rasengan with one hand, its inner energy swirling, and pressed it directly onto the target.

However, the opponent did not dodge at all, but simply watched as Minato Namikaze pressed his Rasengan against his chest.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

Spiral chakra buzzed.

However, in Minato's perception, the power of the Rasengan didn't seem to be what he expected...

"Whoosh!"

Hearing the attack with his Observation Haki, he instantly activated Flying Thunder God Technique and vanished from his spot.

The explosion that followed in mid-air made Minato Namikaze's gaze turn serious.

Is nobody here?

Where did that attack just now come from?

Minato Namikaze did not continue his attack upon returning. His probing attack, though consisting only of a Rasengan, also employed the Flying Thunder God Technique and Haki.

The opponent was not harmed at all, and the way they retaliated was very sudden. Their Observation Haki did not detect their movements, nor did it detect any other enemies.

"We came with sincerity, but you don't seem to appreciate it."

One of the boys had a cold look in his eyes.

The youngest of the three grinned and said, "We can't do anything to you, but you can't hurt us either."

Minato Namikaze frowned and said, "What kind of deal? Given our differing stances, I don't think we can reach any agreement."

The short-haired boy snorted, "What if the entire Hidden Leaf Village were blown to bits?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple appeared in the space behind the older boy, Wen.

And beneath its feet, new branches extend from the tree trunk, binding both its feet simultaneously.

Obito Uchiha appeared from another dimension, and at the same time, Hizashi Hyuga unleashed thirty-six consecutive palm strikes at another girl.

Minato Namikaze stared at the youngest child, the one who had just tried to attack but failed.

"boom!"

Wen turned around and swung his claws, which collided with Obito's, leaving a claw mark on Obito's body.

"The art of spacetime is not your exclusive domain."

After the collision, the two retreated, but the next second Wen extended his sharp claws from Obito's body.

How is that possible?

"Sizzle..."

Like the sound of steel scraping, a series of sparks flashed on Obito's body within the Kamui dimension.

"Is this what domineering is?"

After a moment of confusion, the claw marks closed and Wen disappeared before Obito's attack landed.

At the same time, the older girl, Di, reached out and absorbed all thirty-six empty palm strikes.

"Can't you even speak properly?"

Dee frowned and pointed to his ear: "Let's give our Hokage a sound first, even though it's a bit far away."

However, the call could not be connected to the communicator for a long time.

……

Konoha, the refuge.

After learning that the other party's plot would destroy the entire Hidden Leaf Village with a series of explosive tags, Sakura's alternate personality kept recounting the consequences.

Similarly, a new power awakens within Sakura Haruno.

What is the purpose of ninjas? What is the meaning of possessing power?

Ninjas shouldn't exist solely for the sake of missions; they are human beings too, possessing their own thoughts and feelings.

Family, friends, loved ones...

Companions from the same village, people from the Fire Region, all life in this world...

Ninjas exist to protect these things, and so does power.

Perhaps I don't have that level of understanding.

But if loved ones are in danger and the village is facing destruction, it would be more painful than death to just stand by and watch.

The dawn of the world has arrived, and as a human being, she will not allow anyone to disrupt it!

A surge of heat coursed through his body, forcing back the cursed seals that covered his body.

Breaking free from her restraints, Sakura leaped into the air.

Danzo dodged the punch, but it landed squarely on Naruto and Sasuke, who were both looking down.

"Child of the Hokage! Uchiha genius! Wake up, you two bastards!"

In a daze, this punch was like a needle, shattering Naruto's thoughts and ideas.

The moment he realized what was happening, Naruto quickly took out a small pouch from his pocket and pulled the drawstring on it.

"Smack."

The moment the knot was untied, an energy burst forth.

Crimson lightning instantly filled the entire shelter.

As the intertwined lightning flashed by, Sasuke regained consciousness instantly.

"Walk!"

Naruto roared and grabbed his two companions who were also affected by Conqueror's Haki.

The moment their bodies made contact, Conqueror's Haki emanated from in front of them.

This is Minato Namikaze's domineering spirit, and also the power he left for his son.

"asshole!"

Danzo's mind went blank.

The power that was originally like an instinct within the body, the power called God, was now being eroded to the extreme.

Not only divine techniques, but also the chakra of ninjas was suppressed.

"What...is this?"

Naruto, carrying Sasuke and Sakura, swept past the two of them. As he pondered, he tossed Sakura to Sasuke with his left hand.

The Rasengan materialized in his hand and he slammed it into Danzo's abdomen.

"boom!"

Danzo was slammed into the rock wall, but the domineering aura of crimson lightning around him was also fading.

Naruto hesitated for a moment, then flung Sakura and Sasuke away.

"Call someone."

Thrown out of the shelter's entrance, Sasuke didn't hesitate, flipping over and heading towards the village. Sakura glanced at the entrance and followed closely behind.

Naruto then turned back, intending to take advantage of the opportunity while his opponents were being suppressed by his father's domineering aura to kill them both.

"Bang!"

Danzo, panting, looked at Naruto as his cane collided with his kunai: "You audacious brat."

As soon as he finished speaking, a force appeared again.

It can bewitch people and make them waver from the depths of their hearts.

"Shut up, you old geezer!"

His right hand was blocked, and when he tried to make a dumpling with his left hand, it was noticed and stopped.

He flipped his legs up and kicked Danzo in the jaw.

"puff!"

Danzo spat out a mouthful of blood and could feel the energy within his body fading.

The next moment, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Naruto's wrist, which was coming straight at him, and pressed it down.

The Rasengan tore through the rocks on the ground, and Danzo kicked it away.

At this moment, the overwhelming force that had just been so powerful also subsided.

Danzo reached out and slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"You could have escaped, but you wanted more. As the son of the Fourth Hokage, you received far less than those others."

Naruto drew a kunai with his other hand and thrust it out suddenly.

"Bang!"

Danzo kicked it away, but the kunai that slipped from his hand had an explosive tag attached to it.

The explosive tag flew up and exploded above the shelter.

"At this close range, did you anticipate I'd kick you away? Or are you really not afraid of getting blown up together?"
