Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"How is your mother? Is your father dead...?"

392. This year can be called the year of white teeth.

Although this statement could easily lead to endless speculation, in all honesty, according to Ebizo's own account, he truly had no other intentions. The reason he held hands with that young woman wasn't because he was attracted to her beauty, but because her appearance gave him a sense of familiarity. He just couldn't remember who she resembled at the time. Later, as they were leaving, he was touched by the warm atmosphere and finally remembered that the young woman looked very much like his old friend. This is another rather complicated story. It was precisely because he remembered that this young woman looked so much like his old friend, and that her words and actions were similar, that Ebizo believed that this young woman was a descendant of his two old friends. This made Ebizo consider her to be an elder of his old friend, and he also wanted to inquire about how his old friend was doing.

However, having served as a Grand Councilor for so many years, he had become accustomed to speaking concisely and directly, and disliked beating around the bush. That's why he asked about the woman's mother and whether her father was dead. According to Ebizo, this young lady's father was once a Jonin, but he hadn't seen him for many years, hence the question.

But the young lady had no idea about this story. The first thing Hai Laozang said was to insult her father and mother, and from his words, it seemed that Hai Laozang had a deeply unforgettable story with her parents. After imagining a love story of a devoted man and a resentful woman, the young lady turned around and left without saying a word. She came to talk about marriage with him, and he was thinking about her mother. Who could stand that?

Ebizo, still bewildered as he watched the young woman's departing figure, felt a sense of dread, as if he had scared her away. After much internal struggle on his way home, he secretly resolved that he had already missed his prime and shouldn't force things. He thought it was a good thing she left; he was already so old, and he might inevitably become a burden to her in the future. Therefore, he decided to dedicate the rest of his life to the village, continuing to contribute to its peaceful development...

After hearing Ebizo's story that day, Masato was completely impressed by Ebizo's raw talent. He never expected there to be such an extraordinary person in the world. He hadn't even noticed the grammatical error in his own words after all this time. Who the hell would greet someone's parents on the first meeting? And those words made even those of them who knew him start to imagine all sorts of stories, not to mention the young lady they had just met. This guy was really something else!

Even Sasori's father, who was so good at flirting with girls at five and bringing Yusaori home to meet Chiyo at seven, was stunned by his uncle. He even doubted whether this uncle was really his uncle. His nephew was so good at flirting, but his uncle made a major mistake at the beginning and was eliminated? This doesn't make sense from either a biological or genetic point of view!

Chiyo could only shake her head as she looked at her brother's worried face. Perhaps this was fate. Her precious son was very good at flirting with girls, but the problem was that this skill couldn't be taught. Not only did it require talent, but Kaizo was also past the golden age of learning. He was already so old that his behavior and tone of voice had become ingrained habits. Even if she taught him step by step now and he could flirt with girls, he would eventually be exposed, and it would be even more painful then.

From that day on, even Chiyo gave up on the idea of ​​finding a girl to take care of Ebizo in his old age. She figured a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one; it was better to let him go now. At worst, if he had a stroke later, she could just let him be free from pain...

......

"...But seriously, White Fang is really amazing. He managed to rescue Danzo from a massive army with just a few dozen people. You're out of luck as the World Ninja Master today...-_-||"

When Handsome Scorpion's father heard his older brother steer the conversation toward his own uncle, he felt a pang of embarrassment and quickly changed the subject. After all, he was still his uncle, and he still had the basic moral principle of not calling his nephew "uncle."

Danzo became famous after the incident in the Land of Water, and so did White Fang of Konoha. Keep in mind that this was the Land of Water's stronghold, not far from the Crystal Island, highlighting its extreme danger. Yet, White Fang, with only a few dozen men, managed to break through the encirclement of the Mist Ninja amidst a massive army, creating an escape route. This feat left everyone speechless. Since his clash with Shiki in the Second Shinobi World War, and the rise of the Three Legendary Sannin, White Fang has kept a low profile and hasn't been in the headlines for a long time. His last headline was a few years ago when Shiki went to Konoha alone to congratulate him at his wedding. However, that headline focused on Shiki's courage and boldness, with White Fang playing a supporting role. If Shiki weren't still active on the front lines of the ninja world, many would have almost forgotten about White Fang of Konoha. He's been the only man in recent years to rival Shiki.

After this battle, everyone witnessed the brilliance of Konoha's White Fang once again. He was unscathed amidst a vast army, cutting down people as easily as slicing melons and vegetables. This year is the first year after the war ended, and Konoha's White Fang has become incredibly famous. If there are no more explosive news in the second half of the year, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this year the White Fang year. After all, such a lone hero is always the most popular in any era or world.

"...I already have seven or eight, what's the harm in giving one to him? It's just an empty title..."

Masato said with a hint of envy, "Sometimes I wish our Sunagakure had a Danzo-like figure, but unfortunately, our Sunagakure doesn't have one right now. Although it's said that every village in the ninja world has one or two Shimura Danzos, the situation is different in each village. These Danzos are far inferior to the Danzo of Konoha, especially in our Sunagakure."

First, Sunagawa, who has always been enthusiastic about swaying his hips, has had one or two female confidantes since childhood, but he really doesn't have any close male friends. Although swaying his hips is considered a national treasure of their Land of Wind, generally no man can accept his kind of hobby.

Secondly, although Sunagawa is the Kazekage, he doesn't have absolute power. He still has to discuss many important matters with Ebizo. If the discussion fails, he then goes to Chiyo for the final decision. With Chiyo as the pillar of stability in Sunagakure, Danzo and his ilk simply can't get any action.

Other villages don't have a pillar of strength like Chiyo. The hot-tempered Raikage sometimes has to be restrained by Danzo from Kumogakure. Ōnoki has cut ties with Kakuzu since the Tailed Beast incident, and the old fogies in the village are still alive and well, so he can't have absolute power. In Konoha, since the fall of the Senju clan and the death of Mito Uzumaki, Hiruzen Sarutobi has truly become the undisputed leader. With this buddy protecting him, Danzo is the true pillar of Konoha.

393. A sacrificial ceremony to the heavens? Danzo didn't believe in that stuff, did he?

For example, regarding the incident with Madara in the Land of Water, if Sunagawa were the Hokage, knowing from Sakumo that there was a wild Uchiha in the Land of Water, he certainly wouldn't have allowed Danzo to lead a group to alert them. The safest approach would have been to send out all the village's elite members, at least for mutual support. However, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wanting to consider his friend's feelings and not discourage his ambition, still resolutely agreed to his friend's request to lead a group to the Land of Water as a vanguard. Of course, Shinto also suspected that this was intentional on Hiruzen Sarutobi's part. Danzo had been developing Konoha's Root for so many years, and just looking at the scale of Danzo's departure to the Land of Water showed how quickly it had grown. Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that his friend and his underlings couldn't possibly defeat the wild Uchiha, yet he still resolutely agreed. This suggests that Hiruzen Sarutobi was worried that Root's rapid development would slip out of his control, so he wanted to use the wild Uchiha to weaken Root's strength. And Sakumo's sudden appearance in the Land of Water to rescue Danzo indicates that Sakumo was actually the true main force.

However, what Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't expect was that the wild Uchiha from the Land of Water wasn't the Uchiha who survived World War I and awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, or some random nobody, but Madara, whom he would have to call "Grandpa." He also didn't expect his best friend to be so arrogant as to bring so many people to Madara's base. It would be strange if they didn't get discovered.

......

"Hiruzen, how is Danzo?"

At this moment, in the Shimura clan, whose center of Konoha was already showing signs of defeat, Hiruzen Sarutobi had just finished comforting Danzo, who was somewhat mentally unstable, and came over. Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado immediately came up and asked with concern, "Our friend wasn't seriously injured this time because White Fang appeared in time and our friend wasn't beaten up. But our friend's current situation is more worrying than if he had been beaten up."

Although he used to get beaten up a lot, Tsunade could always save him as long as he had a breath left, but his friend's condition was not good.

Over the years, his friends have always given him the impression of being stubborn... oops! They are tough, upright, and indomitable men who never give up, even after repeated defeats. It seems that no difficulty can defeat them. Every day, their eyes are full of fighting spirit. They are super fighters who fight against heaven and earth, and who believe that fate is against heaven.

The words "effort and struggle" written on his forehead perfectly encapsulate his entire life.

But ever since Danzo rescued his friends, although they weren't seriously injured, they seemed completely dejected. Their once bright and spirited eyes had become dull and lifeless.

He seemed like a completely different person, refusing to eat or sleep, staring blankly ahead, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's over." This state deeply worried them. After so many years of friendship, they couldn't bear to see their friend in this terrible state. If it weren't for Hiruzen Sarutobi's repeated intervention, they would have wanted to give him a quick death to spare him further suffering in this world...

"Sigh...! I finally fell asleep, but I'm still a bit out of it. Tsunade said it's not a big problem, I just need to take care of myself."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a couple of puffs of his pipe, rubbed his throbbing forehead, and said, "Ever since my best friend came back, I've been busy and haven't slept for days and nights. If my best friend keeps going, I'll collapse too. But I'm really worried about my best friend's condition. With Kagami gone, he only has this one backup plan left, and Menyan isn't my type..."

"Sakumo, what exactly happened in the Land of Water? Everything was fine before, so why did Danzo suddenly start fighting with the Kirigakure ninja?"

Mitokado Homura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's worried face and turned to Hatake Sakumo to ask. His friend was so smug when he left, and even went to his house to say goodbye before leaving, confidently saying that he would wait for his good news. Moreover, judging from the time, the place where he fought with his friend in Kirigakure was within Kirigakure's territory. That is to say, his best buddy was fine when he infiltrated the Land of Water. How come he was discovered when he entered Kirigakure's territory? Could there be a traitor among them?

"...When Danzo and his men entered the Land of Water, everything was fine at first, and they weren't discovered by Kirigakure. But for some reason, when Danzo arrived at the entrance of Kirigakure, he changed his usual practice and performed a ritual to the heavens, which is why he was discovered by Kirigakure's Anbu..."

Sakumo Hatake, somewhat speechless, briefly recounted the extreme nature of the whole affair. On the way back, he had been speculating about Danzo's perplexing behavior, but unfortunately, with his normal human thinking, he simply couldn't fathom Danzo's psychological state at the time or the purpose behind such perplexing actions.

"What?! Offering sacrifices at the entrance of Kirigakure?...(⊙_⊙)?"

After hearing what Sakumo Hatake said, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two were equally dumbfounded.

Then they looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they couldn't understand how Danzo had done this.

You're trying to sneak into someone's back and cause trouble. You should be grateful if you don't get caught. But you actually went and performed a ritual at their doorstep. Who are you mourning?

They didn't remember any of Danzo's family members who died in the Land of Water and couldn't return home...

And countless question marks popped up on the foreheads of the three of them...Danzo didn't believe in this stuff, so why did he suddenly start offering it up as a sacrifice? (⊙_⊙)?

Imagining Danzo with a dark face, devoutly offering sacrifices to the heavens... just thinking about it feels so incongruous... -_-||

"...You must be tired too, go back and rest first."

Although he didn't know why his best friend would suddenly become superstitious and resort to such an old-fashioned ritual of sacrificing to the heavens, Hiruzen Sarutobi was both gratified and concerned to see the exhausted Touma and told him to go back and rest. Touma had single-handedly charged into the midst of thousands of troops to rescue his best friend, their Konoha's chief advisor and Hokage's assistant, for the honor of the village. He was truly gratified. In that situation, he could understand even if Sakumo hadn't intervened and had brought his own men back. After all, if Danzo had died, he would at most be sad for ten or fifteen days, and the village's reputation might have suffered some damage, but the village wouldn't have suffered any substantial loss. However, it was different if Sakumo had died. The village would lose a double-flowered red-robed master, and that would be a huge loss. Even though Konoha was known as the cradle of geniuses, double-flowered red-robed masters weren't easy to come by. They only appeared once every ten or twenty years, and even then, they might not reach Sakumo's level. So even if Sakumo had stood by and watched Danzo get killed, he wouldn't have said anything. He could only blame Danzo for being unlucky and for his own stupidity in going to someone's doorstep to perform a sacrificial ceremony.

But now, Sakumo not only didn't stand idly by, but instead stormed into the enemy camp to rescue Danzo, and even cut through enemy lines with ease, showcasing the glory of Konoha and once again proving that Konoha truly deserves its title as the overlord of the ninja world!

394. Danzo's new talent wall came relatively late.

Orochimaru's beloved disciple has changed; he's associating with Danzo. This made Orochimaru consider, if all else fails, having Sakumo become Hokage for a few years as a temporary measure, allowing Nawaki and Minato to grow up, then having Nawaki take over and Minato assist. This approach seemed feasible.

Anyway, Sakumo has been the head of the Anbu for so many years, he's very familiar with these things, and the Hokage is only "a tiny bit" more tired than the head of the Anbu...

Besides, Sakumo has held the position of Hokage for so many years, and his popularity, reputation, and seniority are all excellent. No one would object to him taking over. Those who would object would have to be able to fight Shiki three hundred rounds and come back alive before they have the right to voice their opinions. So, if Sakumo takes over, it would be a seamless transition. However, considering that the Hatake clan only has him and his son, if Sakumo becomes Hokage, there will be no one to take care of Kakashi. Kakashi is the next generation that he has high hopes for. With such a powerful father and being born into the Hatake clan, disregarding the unreliable genetics, as long as Kakashi grows up healthily, even if he doesn't reach Sakumo's level, he won't be too far behind. He will definitely meet Ito-sama's standards. In that case, Konoha will gain another double-flowered red staff. At that time, his three disciples, Sakumo and his son, and Minato... he can still fight! My god! This lineup, this prestige, I could wake up in my dreams in awe.

Considering the different training methods of the Hatake clan, he was afraid that Sakumo would not have time to teach Kakashi after becoming Hokage, and that he might ruin Kakashi. So he had been keeping this thought to himself and had not revealed it to anyone. However, now that Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the back of the leader, this thought seemed to have been activated and kept pounding in his mind.

Yeah, I'll find an opportunity to talk to Sakumo. Actually, the Hokage isn't that busy...

......

Inside the house, just as Hiruzen Sarutobi left, Danzo, who had been sleeping with his eyes closed and breathing evenly, opened his eyes again. His gaze seemed unfocused as he stared upwards. More than twenty years of hard work had vanished, leaving only Ryuma. This was a significant blow to Danzo. Although his underlings were only so-so in combat, relying entirely on their reckless fighting style, they represented more than twenty years of his hard work. Even raising a dog for more than twenty years could produce a dog king comparable to the Inuzuka clan, let alone his underlings whom he had carefully cultivated for more than twenty years. Just thinking about the enormous expense made his blood boil.

Those expenses, those expenses alone were enough for Kakuzu to launch a night raid on the Uchiha clan...

What happened to those who were supposed to be favored by Heaven? Why is this happening...?

Danzo stared blankly at the ceiling above him. Since his debut, whether facing Hanzo the Salamander or the Raikage, he had always been brave and decisive, and that was it!

Even after suffering two career-ending injuries, he still motivated himself, believing that as long as the heart is there, the dream is there. As long as he's not dead and his resources are still there, he still has hope... I mean, he still has a chance to make a game-winning shot.

But all his resources were wasted in the Land of Water. If he could have met a wild Uchiha, he wouldn't be so frustrated. But he didn't even see a shadow of his target, and his resources were gone just like that. At this moment, Danzo hated everything—the heavens, the earth, and the world. Why did they have to take away his last chance when they had given him the chance to kill?

He hated his own weakness even more. If he had White Fang's skills, none of this would have happened. If he had White Fang's strength, Hanzo of the Salamander in the Land of Rain would have been stabbed through the mud. If he had White Fang's strength, would the Third Raikage have been able to beat him? Why would Orochimaru have been needed to boost his reputation and end that damned war?

It's all because of our strength!

"Dragon Horse!"

Having once again experienced the true nature of the ninja world, Danzo clenched his fists tightly. His unfocused eyes once again shone with a captivating light. Strength, that's right, as long as there is strength, then all problems will be solved. He still has a chance. As long as he finds enough three-tomoe Sharingan, plus the Mangekyou Sharingan in his hand, he can also grow bigger... stronger!

Thinking of this, Danzo rallied himself and casually called out to a corner of the room. He knew that his leader was waiting for his summons somewhere in the room; this was the confidence of a successful person!

"Lord Danzo! What are your orders...!"

As Danzo expected, Ryoma Aburame appeared in his room the moment he summoned him, gazing lovingly at his boss. Seeing his leader regain his composure, Ryoma's eyes welled with tears. He knew his Danzo wouldn't be so easily defeated; his previous slump was merely a temporary low point in his career, a period everyone experiences like the rookie wall. It was just that Danzo's career started so high that the rookie wall came later than expected...

During Danzo's period of depression, it felt like the end of the world to him. He didn't know what to do if his boss continued to be so depressed. He had been following Danzo since he was five years old. As Danzo's leader, he was deeply marked by the Root organization. If Danzo lost his way, his own future would also be uncertain.

As a senior member of Root, it's completely impossible for him to clear his name or apply for a transfer. Even if he wanted to retire early, the mark on his tongue would constantly remind him that he was born Danzo's man and would die Danzo's ghost, and there was no way out! Moreover, he had finally made it to the position where he was in charge of the entire Root organization when Danzo was not around, so why would he give it up?

Therefore, following in Danzo's footsteps is his only way out. Now that he sees Danzo regaining his spirits, Aburame Ryoma is overjoyed and is just short of grabbing his head and giving him a good nibble!

If Lord Danzo were to make a comeback, given his relationship with the Hokage, returning to his peak would be incredibly easy!

"Hmm...! Reassemble your team and bring those orphans back to me from the nearby villages!!"

Danzo looked at the leader who had appeared beside him with satisfaction; he had not disappointed him after all!

He has already thought it through. He is still young, and perhaps God doesn't want him to rise to power too easily so that he won't cherish it. This is a test from God for him!

Even if he loses everything now, it doesn't matter. He's still young, and youth is his greatest asset. Besides, Hiruzen Sarutobi's prematurely aged appearance means he'll definitely die before him. Even if he has to start over and fight for another ten or twenty years, it doesn't matter, as long as his beastly blood... ugh! His passion hasn't cooled, and as long as the heart remains, the dream remains!

395. He's not like Ebizo who prefers younger women.

As long as he still has the technology to transplant the first generation of cells, and as long as he has another ten years to develop the root, he can get more Sharingan, and he can have all the Mangekyou Sharingan he can't beat!

Ten years, just give him another ten years...

.......

Sunagakure Village.

"Oh! What a rare guest! Shouldn't you all be enjoying the air conditioning in your office at this hour? Have you... eaten yet?"

At 10:30 in the morning, Masato yawned as he walked out of his room and saw Sunagawa and Ebizo sitting in the living room with their eyes closed, seemingly contemplating life. As soon as he greeted them, the two of them immediately opened their eyes and stared at him, as if they were comparing which of the three famous bachelors of Sunagawa was the most handsome. Looking at the bucket of bloated instant noodles that Chiyo had prepared for him, and feeling their gazes, he really had no appetite.

"...The village is currently recuperating, and everyone is very busy. You've also been resting for a long time these past few years. A person in their thirties can't continue to be so lazy; it's not a good influence. We've discussed it and decided to have you lead a ninja squad. Originally, we planned to have you lead Sasori and Rasa in a few years, but a few days ago, a little girl awakened her Scorch Release. Her current Jonin teacher can't give her much help, so we've discussed it. You've been in the ninja world for so many years; your experience is unmatched by those Jonin. Therefore, we've decided to have you lead that little girl's squad..."

After a moment of contemplation, Ebizo rearranged his thoughts and spoke with a hint of excitement.

As Ebizo spoke, Sunagawa next door smiled so hard that crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Scorching Release, a bloodline limit that has become quite unfamiliar to the people of Sunagakure over the years. If it weren't for the records, they wouldn't even remember that Sunagakure had such a bloodline limit. Every ninja with a bloodline limit is a treasure of the village, but even members of bloodline limit families are not necessarily able to awaken their bloodline limit. For example, not everyone with the surname Uchiha can awaken the Sharingan. It depends on talent. Generally speaking, the stronger a person's talent, the earlier they awaken their family's bloodline limit, and the higher their potential is. The reason why bloodline limits are so precious is simply that their ninjutsu is much stronger than ordinary ninjutsu of the same level, such as Fire Release, Water Release, and Lightning Release. As for Scorching Release, no one has awakened it for decades since the First Hokage's bodyguard was killed by Madara. If they hadn't specifically checked the records, they really wouldn't know that this ordinary-looking girl who always wears a backless dress and is quite pretty is actually a descendant of that family.

So after receiving their junior's report, the two looked at each other and then, quite tacitly, left the Kazekage Tower and headed straight for the Miyake clan. It wasn't that they lacked confidence in their Jonin junior. If it were an ordinary student, they could simply hand him over to their Jonin junior to guide him through D-rank missions within the village and C-rank missions outside the village that weren't too dangerous. Once he was done with those, they could organize a Chunin Exam like Konoha did, and that would be about it. The war had just ended, and every village was recuperating, so there wouldn't be much danger.

But now that the Scorching Release ninja has appeared, ordinary Jonin underlings are no longer up to the task. Bloodline limit ninjas are treasures in any village, but outside they are targets for activation. Ordinary Jonin underlings can't protect them. The Anbu of each village in the ninja world has developed to this point. Except for the Land of Water, which is remote and has a strange atmosphere, which village doesn't have a couple of spies? Plus, with the entertainment industry so developed now, many things can't be kept secret. This girl is fine before she becomes a Chunin, and there won't be any problems. But what will happen after she becomes a Chunin?

The saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable. If it weren't for the fact that his profession was unrelated to the job and he was already too busy teaching Rasa, Sunagawa would have wanted to take on another female disciple. There were three Magnet Release disciples in the village, but only one Scorching Release disciple. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a genius who appears only once every few decades. So, it's necessary to find a capable caretaker for this little girl, at least to ensure that she can develop safely. And the village has this bastard who has the ability to take care of this little girl from puberty to maturity, and who is so bored that he has hundreds of secretaries. Although this bastard is usually lazy and seems unreliable, he is actually quite competent when it comes to getting things done. At least he can handle the things they ask of him properly. However... dumping such a burden on him and making him a caretaker for the little girl, Ebizo felt that he had to say something nice to him. However, he had thought for a long time on the way here, trying to think of what good qualities this guy had, but he couldn't find any in the Miyagi clan. So, he could only bite the bullet and make up a few things to make the guy feel comfortable.

"Tch! You make it sound so nice, but all you want is for me to be a babysitter for a little girl? No way. She's just a newly graduated genin. Does she need all that protection? She'll just grow up to be a greenhouse flower. And if people outside knew that I, the Golden Lion, the Eighth World Ninja, was a babysitter for a little girl, they'd laugh themselves to death. I'll wait until she's a chunin or higher."

Upon hearing Ebizo's words, the boy with the sharp mind immediately thought of Pakura, the girl he had asked questions when he was hired by the Ninja Academy to give a lecture to the graduates. In his limited memory, she was the only one in the entire Sand Village to awaken the Scorch Release. He hadn't expected her to awaken it so quickly. He had thought that given Pakura's limited potential and the fact that she was ambushed and killed by Cloud Ninja, even if she awakened the Scorch Release, she would at least be fifteen or sixteen years old. He hadn't expected her to awaken it so soon after graduation. Her potential couldn't be too low, could it? She might not reach the Double Flower Red Rank, but she could easily reach the Top Red Rank. How could someone like her be betrayed by that brat Rasa, and even ambushed and killed by Cloud Ninja... Was this girl just too weak, or was the murderer the Fourth Raikage or that rapper?

Aside from the Raikage, it seems that Kumogakure doesn't have many talented people. In recent years, the Third Raikage has single-handedly supported the entire Sunagakure's combat strength. Without the Third Raikage, frankly speaking, it's even worse than Iwagakure. Besides Onoki, Iwagakure also has the well-rounded Tsuchiki and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki. The future of Kumogakure will also rely entirely on the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. A top-tier red stick is useless if it's not the Fourth Raikage or a rapper, no matter how many people are camping in the bushes. However, after the Third Shinobi World War, the Fourth Raikage was busy lifting weights and building muscle to reclaim the title of the fastest man in the ninja world from the perfect ninja Minato Namikaze. The rapper was also busy with his solo tour. Where would they have time to camp her?

He's the kind of person who'd be glued to a bunch of cats and dogs, so honestly, he's not interested. He's not the kind of person who gets meek at the sight of a girl, and he's not like Ebizo who prefers younger women...

396. Handsome Scorpion has been behaving strangely lately.

Besides, his nephew is currently in a dangerous period. For the past ten days to half a month, he has been going to fight the Seven-Tails, and his attacks are becoming increasingly ruthless. Without his watchful eye, he's afraid the Seven-Tails will kill him. During this time, his nephew has truly grown through his failures due to his frequent fights with the Seven-Tails. As an outsider, he can't tell whether his puppetry skills have improved or not; in his eyes, they all seem about the same. However, after being beaten by the Seven-Tails for a long time, his nephew's resilience and fighting skills have improved even further. He estimates that even if someone were to stab him a few times with a knife right now, his nephew would remain unfazed and wouldn't utter a sound.
