Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Chiyo was overjoyed by his incredible perseverance and endurance. Although the process of her beloved grandson being beaten up hurt her deeply, her grandson's visible growth made her feel gratified. Although he had some shortcomings in his personality and hadn't made any progress despite his constant bickering with the Uzumaki clan girls, the saying goes, "Spare the rod and spoil the child," and they had fallen in love while they were fighting.

Anyway, she doesn't need to worry about her precious grandson being a single dog for decades like her younger brother. Just look at how perfectly he inherited her youthful looks. Didn't you see the way the girls from the Uzumaki clan look at her precious grandson with eyes that seem like they want to eat him alive?

So every time Sasori was about to challenge Shuri, Chiyo would leave home early to avoid seeing him. She figured with Masato watching over things, nothing serious would happen. Although Sasori was stubborn after the last time Masato's advice, he finally realized how hard his parents worked to earn money and that he shouldn't be too extravagant. So, since then, Sasori had become much more restrained. At least when the puppet was nearly destroyed by the Seven-Tails, he didn't continue the fight and stopped in time. It was better for the puppet to be broken than blasted to pieces; it could be easily repaired and still be usable without wasting too many materials...

However, being beaten for a long time would cause anyone to experience extreme psychological changes, or feel lost, confused, and begin to doubt themselves...

Handsome Scorpion is now at a point where his mentality is gradually becoming extreme. After being beaten up by the Seven-Tailed Sea again a couple of days ago, his behavior has started to become abnormal. In the past, after being beaten up by the Seven-Tailed Sea, he would silently return to his toy room with his swollen head, drink two cups of chicken soup to regroup and fully recover before starting to meditate, reviewing the previous battle, finding his shortcomings, and then correcting them. It has to be said that Handsome Scorpion's methodical operation is definitely a model after experiencing failure.

However, after being beaten up by the Seven-Tailed Sea this time, handsome Sasori did not quietly return to his toy house to drink chicken soup, nor did he repair his broken puppets. Instead, he sat in the toy house for the whole day. His parents went home after get off work, and the next morning he continued to contemplate life in the toy house.

Out of respect for others' privacy, although his Observation Haki had reached the point where he could spy on others' thoughts, he rarely did so, especially not his own family. Sasori was, after all, his nephew, and it was immoral to pry into his privacy like that. But even without spying on Sasori's mind, his abnormal behavior alone made it clear that Sasori had psychological problems, or perhaps he had been driven mad by the Seven-Tails.

Anyway, no matter what, how could he abandon his nephew to become a nanny for an outsider under these circumstances?

And to be honest, having him act as Pakura's babysitter might actually harm her. Doesn't he know how many people in the ninja world love him and how many hate him? With such a burden, if people find out that the little girl is from his ninja team, it's questionable whether she can even survive until Rasa's pit kills her. He wants to be a teacher and brag... Pshaw! Teaching and nurturing is fine, but not being a team leader. Being a teacher in school is about educating and nurturing the next generation, but being a team leader is just being a babysitter. He's not that free.

“That’s not quite right. Our village has only produced one Scorch Release ninja in decades, so we absolutely cannot allow any accidents. Although she didn’t awaken Scorch Release as early as Rasa did with Magnet Release, that’s because awakening Scorch Release is much more difficult. Awakening Scorch Release at the age of eleven is already quite remarkable. She is the future of our village. As a pioneer and senior of the village, it’s only right that you take care of the younger generation. You don’t want to see our village’s only Scorch Release ninja die young, do you?”

Ebizo wasn't surprised by his reaction. Although Sunagakure's leadership system was several years behind Konoha's—Konoha had changed its system years ago, shifting from a captain-teammate relationship to a teacher-student bond—Sunagakure only started doing so a couple of years ago. This led to many people struggling to adapt. Previously, the Jonin leading the teams and the graduates had a simple older brother-younger brother relationship with little commitment. The advantage of this was that when faced with crucial decisions, they could prioritize the mission and act decisively, hesitating when their younger or older brothers were in danger. However… Under that model, the underlings didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the village. However, Sunagakure maintained this model for several years. It wasn't that they didn't want to change, but that they simply couldn't. Firstly, the village had too many staff members in those years, reaching the limit that Sunagakure could handle. For a long time, Sunagakure relied on bounty missions to stay afloat. Although Shinto would occasionally bring back some small surprises from outside, it was just a drop in the bucket. So, if they went back to Konoha's system, who would take care of those who were rescued but were either disabled and retired or seriously injured and bedridden?

If the task completion rate is low, who the hell will still post tasks in your village in the future? If the price is the same, it's better to go to another village to post tasks.

Because of World War II, the number of personnel in their village was drastically reduced. Furthermore, after the war, Sunagawa and Ebizo realized a problem: Sunagawa's conditions were inherently disadvantageous; it wasn't suitable for large-scale troop buildup like other villages. While that would increase numbers, the quality would be inconsistent. For example, in the recent clashes between Sunagawa and Konoha, although both sides were evenly matched, Konoha suffered few losses, while Sunagawa's underlings accounted for the majority of casualties. Even Sunagawa's bodyguard captain, Mada, became a one-armed boy, and the former ANBU heir was killed in action. Therefore, after World War II, the two, having learned their lesson, began massive layoffs, focusing their limited resources on an unlimited number of elites. Those who had remained Chunin for over a decade were told to take their earnings from their ninja careers and go home to live a comfortable life—perhaps even having a genius son someday…

397. That kid wouldn't be so shallow as to care about looks, would he?

Because of the massive layoffs and the shift to an elite system, junior ninjas have become incredibly valuable. The leadership model has also changed, transforming from a senior-junior relationship to a teacher-student relationship, emphasizing a people-oriented approach. Senior ninjas are expected to mentor and guide their juniors. Under this new model, previously, new graduates had to complete a certain number of missions and accumulate enough merit to learn advanced ninjutsu. Now, senior ninjas are teaching their students advanced ninjutsu, having to guide these newbies through daily tasks while also teaching them new techniques. This sudden change in identity and responsibility has left many senior ninjas struggling to adapt.

Before, he was just a junior, and it was no problem for him to fetch water for washing feet. Now he's acting as a nanny, so it's normal for Shinto to be resistant to Ebizo. However, the problem now is that the village has finally produced a Scorch Release ninja, and they are so rare that they are almost like national treasures. If they are wiped out midway through their development, they will really cry. Although his impression of Scorch Release is limited to information, and he has never seen a Scorch Release ninja in action, it is still a bloodline limit, and its power is definitely stronger than ordinary fire release.

"...Although you're not very good at conning people, I like the title of 'pioneer.' But let me make this clear first: all my skills are in my fists and my greatsword, so protecting her is no problem. My theoretical knowledge is also okay. However, her 'Burning Release' technique doesn't match my expertise, so don't accuse me of misleading people later..."

Looking at Ebizo and Sunagawa's sincere faces, Masato couldn't help but twitch his lips. Team leader? He didn't know how to do that either. Besides, he debuted as a Chunin and had never experienced washing feet for a Jonin. What did he know? Was he going to steal the bell?

Bah! That's Hiruzen Sarutobi's specialty; he wouldn't learn it...

"Phew... Since you've agreed, go to the Kazekage Tower tomorrow and take them away. Don't worry, your Jonin position is still yours..."

Hearing Masato agree, Sunakawa breathed a sigh of relief, as if afraid Masato would change his mind. He quickly turned and left with Ebizo, adding before leaving that although he really wanted to relinquish his Jonin position—after all, that bastard was supporting hundreds of people in one job, his behavior was too blatant—if those former Anbu members who worked for him weren't Jonin, there might have been a riot during the last major layoffs. But since this guy was being so accommodating, he didn't mind supporting a few more people...

.......

"What?! Masato's going to be the team leader? Didn't we just divide into classes after graduation? What happened? Which Jonin died?"

"Dad! It wasn't some Jonin who died. Apparently, one of the graduating students today is a little girl who awakened the Scorching Release. Lord Kaizo and Lord Kazekage are worried about her safety, so they asked you, Big Brother, to protect her."

"Dad, where are you going?"

"I'm going to deliver a gift to Lord Kazekage...!"

In the late afternoon, at the home of Sasori's father, the handsome Yusa clan chief, who was also Yusa's father, rarely came to see his super genius grandson. Everyone said that being a super genius was good, but he didn't think so. His super genius grandson was too mature. Although he dared to fight the Seven-Tails to the death at the age of six, which was enough for him to brag about for a lifetime, he had two daughters but no sons. His eldest daughter was already married and had a child, but he had never experienced what it was like to be a grandfather. This genius grandson was too mature. He couldn't feel any of the vitality that a child should have in this outsider village. But that didn't stop him from loving his precious grandson. After all, his precious grandson had another identity. He was the crown prince of Sunagakure and had been destined for the position of Kazekage from the moment he was born.

Although the Yusa clan's fighting strength is not as great as the Meichuan clan's, if their grandson becomes the Kazekage in the future, with their grandson protecting them, the Yusa clan can prosper for at least several decades without any problem. Therefore, whenever he is in the village, Yusa's father will come to see his beloved grandson every night before he can go back to sleep with peace of mind.

However, when Saori's father came to the capital today, he happened to overhear his daughter and son-in-law discussing Masato's intention to become the team leader. As if struck by lightning, he was greatly shocked and hurriedly pushed open the door to ask his daughter and son-in-law.

Who is Mato?

Hmm... Young people from other villages probably only recognize the name but can't remember who it is. But if you mention Golden Lion, he's a legendary ninja who's so scary he'll pee his pants in the middle of the night!

Although Masato is usually unreliable, his fame and strength are undeniable. Over the years, countless people, let alone students, have become his underlings without a problem. Look at how well those underlings who used to follow him in the Anbu are doing now. Those Anbu underlings who went to the Land of Earth with him last time have also made it ashore. These families probably only didn't have such thoughts when Old Man Umekawa was in power. Who wouldn't want their family's children to have some connection with Masato? With such a powerful figure protecting them, they would at least be free from disasters and illnesses for decades and reach the pinnacle of life. Incidentally, he would also take care of their families. But they just don't have any connections.

Even he was no exception. Over the years, he had gone to Lady Chiyo more than once to promote his youngest daughter. Although his eldest daughter was already the Crown Princess and his grandson was the future Kazekage, his relationship with Shinto, though related by marriage, was at most that of distant relatives. It was only because of his grandson that the Yusa clan was able to maintain its current glory.

This is a legendary figure in ninja history, comparable to Hashirama Senju. If Shinto were to become his son-in-law, with such a powerful figure protecting him, his clan would dare to proclaim itself the number one clan in the ninja world, and even the Uchiha clan would dare to challenge him...

Unfortunately, despite his years of promotion, his youngest daughter, a woman of unparalleled beauty, captivated even Lady Chiyo, was no match for him. While Lady Chiyo's efforts were futile, Shinto inherited none of the traits of the Miyako clan, but his infatuated nature seemed to have been perfectly inherited. He appeared fixated on that tyrannical woman from the Senju clan. He couldn't understand what his youngest daughter, aside from her figure, lacked compared to that tyrannical woman. He also couldn't fathom what other qualities that tyrannical woman possessed besides being a Senju princess. Why was Shinto so enamored with her?

Masato wouldn't be so shallow as to judge someone solely on their physique... -_-

Upon hearing that Masato was going to be the team leader, Yusaori's father became restless. His eyes darted around as if he had thought of something, and he didn't even bother to look at his grandson. Leaving a bewildered Yusaori and Jie behind, he turned around and sprinted back at full speed.

398. At this time, I should never be afraid to brag.

Saori's father ran back excitedly. From his daughter and son-in-law's conversation, he overheard that a little girl had awakened the Scorch Release. The Kazekage had made Masato his babysitter, which was understandable, since he was probably the most idle person in the entire village... no, the entire ninja world. He didn't care who had awakened the Scorch Release; he'd find out eventually anyway, since it wasn't someone from his clan, and his clan didn't have that bloodline limit. He was thinking that a basic ninja team should have one Jonin and three Chunin and Genin, and his daughter and son had only promoted the little girl who had awakened the Scorch Release. In other words, there were two more spots in the team besides the little girl.

It doesn't matter if I can't be a father-in-law, sending two family members to become disciples of Shinto seems like a good option!

I don't know what skills they can learn, but having this relationship is enough. Wouldn't it make us even closer in the future?

I'm a fucking genius! ヾ(^Д^*)/

Thinking of this, Saori's father ran like the wind. The Achilles tendon he had torn on the battlefield healed instantly. He quickly ran home. His daughter and son-in-law had already received the news, which meant that the news was not a secret. There might be someone who acted even faster than him. At this time, he had to race against time. If he was late, he wouldn't even be able to drink the soup!

......

"(⊙_⊙)? What are you all doing...."

As Saori's father guessed correctly, the news that Masato would be the team leader spread throughout Sunagakure overnight. Clan leaders of all sizes also took action upon hearing the news, bringing out their treasured collections and flocking to the Kazekage Tower.

At 11 p.m., when Sunagawa and Ebizo finished processing the last document and were about to close up shop, they found the doorway already packed with people. Fortunately, the Kazekage Building was large enough, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to accommodate everyone. Sunagawa and Ebizo were startled by the scene before them. Almost all the clan leaders, big and small, from the village had gathered, each carrying or slung items over their shoulders, the packaging of which clearly indicated they were expensive.

What are these people trying to do?

I've never seen him this enthusiastic in meetings before...(⊙_⊙)?

"Lord Kazekage, I heard that Lord Shinto is going to be the team leader. Besides that little girl, there are still two spots available. I wonder if you have a suitable candidate? If not, my good-for-nothing son learned his first ninjutsu at the age of three, started learning the clan's secret techniques at four, and mastered all of the clan's secret techniques by eleven. It's been a year now, and he hasn't made any progress. So... Lord Kazekage, I wonder if you could consider that four generations of my family have fought for the village, and that my father sacrificed his life for the village, and perhaps reserve one spot for my good-for-nothing son..."

As soon as he finished speaking in the Sunagawa dialect, the middle-aged man, who was supposed to be a big, muscular man with an upright and honest face, immediately burst into tears and said that if there hadn't been someone blocking his way, he would have rushed up and hugged their leg!

He was a high-ranking official in the village, a big shot with a good reputation outside, but at this time he couldn't care less about his reputation. It was not too much to ask him to stand out for his son!

Σ(⊙▽⊙a！

Before anyone could even gather their thoughts, they saw this upright and incorruptible fellow already spouting nonsense, practically calling his own son the next Golden Lion. They couldn't help but marvel at just how thick-skinned this guy was!

"Damn it! Inada, do you have any shame? Your good-for-nothing son can't even pass the Ninja Academy graduation exam! Get back to your hometown and tutor him in the Three Body Techniques! Kazekage-sama, you've met my brother's son, Tsuchisa. He's been handsome and elegant since he was little. Although he's not as good-looking as Sasori, he's still a prodigy. He learned our clan's secret technique at four and mastered it instantly. By five, he was unmatched among his peers and had always been the top student in his class. Yesterday, he complained to me that his instructor wasn't strong enough to teach him. I think only a prodigy like my nephew is qualified to be a student of a legendary ninja like Shinto-sama..."

As soon as the upright-looking Inada finished speaking, another middle-aged man immediately jumped out and started to argue. Judging from his tone, the two must have had a history. In any case, they didn't get along.

"Brother Tuhe, you are mistaken! Although my nephew does well in school, it's possible he only excels academically. We are all survivors of bloodshed; outstanding academic ability doesn't equate to talent in other areas, like fighting. Besides, your nephew's grades are all on paper; none of us have witnessed his actual skills. Lord Fengying, I have a niece..."

"Lord Kazekage, don't listen to his nonsense, I have two sons..."

"My lord Fengjing, the son of my elder brother's wife's sister's uncle's sister..."

"Lord Kazekage, he is the son of my younger brother's third aunt's fourth aunt's husband's cousin..."

"Master Kazekage......"

With the examples of the rice paddies and the earthen river, many clan leaders have also realized that at this time, they should not be afraid to boast, and the louder they boast, the better. The more outstanding their children are, the more likely they are to enter the Kazekage's field of vision and get one of the two spots. Even if they are exposed, it doesn't matter, since their children have already become Shindou's students!

(⊙_⊙)

Sunagawa and Ebizo stared blankly at the clan heads in front of them, who were talking all at once like they were in a marketplace, praising their own children. In just ten minutes, more than a dozen super geniuses with the potential to become golden lions had emerged from their mouths.

Sunagawa and Ebizo looked at each other. They weren't surprised that news of Shinto becoming the team's teacher had spread, and they had never intended to hide it. However, listening to these people constantly praising their own children, they couldn't help but start to doubt: Did their village really have so many super geniuses...? (⊙_⊙)?

"Crackling and popping..."

Just as the smaller families began boasting about their children, Saori's father finally arrived, carrying an enormous gift bag. However, the current patriarch of the Umekawa clan also arrived at the same time, carrying a similarly enormous gift bag. The two met at the entrance, exchanged a bewildered glance amidst the stares of their guards, and then a powerful electric current clashed between them. A powerful killing intent and an unparalleled aura of superiority intertwined in the air, and the surrounding space seemed to sense their combined power, gradually solidifying.

"So...so scary.....Σ(⊙▽⊙a)"

The guards standing in front of the two were already feeling their legs go weak. They swallowed hard, watching the clash of egos between these two powerful figures...

399. Let him make amends for the mistakes he made when he was young.

"Chief Meichuan, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here in the middle of the night..."

"Chief Yusa, it's true, not working hard at home in the middle of the night, but coming all the way to Fengying Tower. She really cares about the village..."

Although Yusa's father took office decades earlier than the current head of the Umekawa clan, they were both around fifty years old, so they were considered equals. Furthermore, since the founding of Sunagakure, after the decline of the Miyako clan and Chiyo's maternal family, the Umekawa and Yusa clans had fiercely competed for the title of the most powerful clan in Sunagakure. Their relationship was similar to that of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans in Konoha. The Hyuga clan originally relied on the Senju clan, but after decades of biding their time and developing their power behind the Senju, they rose to prominence after the Senju clan's decline and the Uchiha clan's gradual decline following three major upheavals. They then used a series of reckless forbidden techniques to establish their reputation and officially ascend to the position of the most powerful clan in Konoha, or even the most powerful clan in the ninja world.

While the storylines of the Yusa and Meikawa clans may not be as dramatic as those of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, they are just as intense. In terms of combat power, the Meikawa clan is slightly stronger, after all, the old man Meikawa Hakuchi alone has several sons and countless grandsons.

The Yusa clan, however, was somewhat weaker in terms of numbers. Yusa's father was the only legitimate heir in his generation, with only two daughters. However, through his connection to the Crown Princess's daughter, he managed to maintain the clan's status in the village on par with the Umekawa clan, preventing them from falling behind. While this method was considered despicable, for the Yusa clan, since they couldn't solve the problem at its root, they addressed it externally. It wasn't that they weren't trying; it was simply that the Umekawa clan's fighting power was too formidable. Each member seemed to have their natural reproductive ability maximized. Just when they managed to conceive a second child, the Umekawa clan already had their fifth, and they showed no signs of stopping...

The Meikawa clan, possessing its own inherent strength, naturally looked down on the Yusa clan's shortcuts. Therefore, upon their meeting and seeing that the other shared the same thoughts, they were naturally not welcoming. Yusa's father sarcastically remarked that the Meikawa clan constantly preached the importance of self-reliance, yet now they had to offer gifts and curry favor. The Meikawa clan chief immediately retorted with disdain, saying that instead of wasting time offering gifts, they could use that time to work harder in bed...

"You... Humph!"

This is a perpetual pain in the hearts of Yusa's father, or rather, the Yusa clan. With a cold snort, he grabbed the super gift pack and rushed into the Wind Shadow Tower. At this moment, the quota was more important. He would find another time to meet this bastard and have a verbal battle. The head of the Meichuan clan, of course, could not let him succeed. Seeing Yusa's father rush in, he left two people staring at each other, confused about what was going on. A bunch of people were running into the Wind Shadow Tower in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. The bewildered guard also rushed in.

.....

"Show-off Madoka!!"

Yusaori's father, whose Achilles tendon had healed, was walking briskly, while the clan chief of Meichuan was equally eager to join in. The two middle-aged men arrived at the door of the Kazekage's office at almost the same time. At first glance, they were surprised to find that a bunch of bastards had arrived even faster than them and were already arguing.

The two exchanged a glance instantly, immediately forming a united front of hatred. They pulled out a small megaphone from somewhere and unleashed a powerful, otherworldly sound that drowned out the cacophony of voices from the various clan leaders, who were practically haggling at a market.

"Chief Yusa, Chief Umekawa, you are also....-_-||"

Everyone turned to look, and the first thing they saw was two enormous gift bags. This instantly made Sunakawa and Ebizo realize how unappealing the gifts held by the clan leaders were. However, seeing the two's appearance, Sunakawa and Ebizo were speechless. When did that bastard Masato become so sought after? Even the Umekawa clan had come! Umekawa Hakuchi was practically clinging to life, waiting for Masato. And here he was, carrying these enormous gift bags, trying to send his junior to be Masato's underling? Did he think his father hadn't died fast enough...? -_-||

"Lord Kazekage, Shinto is one of the few strong individuals in the history of our Land of Wind. The little girl who awakened the Scorch Release is worthy of his status as his student. However, I don't think we should make such a hasty decision about the other two students. There are many kids, but there is only one Shinto. I think we should give the opportunity to the most talented youth. After all, only geniuses can teach geniuses. Others are just wasting time. If Sasori and Rasa were a little older, they would naturally be the ones to take on the role. However, they are still too young. My youngest son, Nei, although he unfortunately lost his legs, still has talent. He has made amazing progress in puppetry. Although he is a bit older, it does not affect his burning passion. I think it is most appropriate for Nei to receive Shinto's instruction before Sasori and Rasa graduate so that he can continue to contribute to the village."

The patriarch of a powerful family is indeed a patriarch of a powerful family. Even though he has only been in power for a few years, after being the crown prince for so many years, he has developed his eloquence. Unlike the heads of smaller families who keep praising their own children, Patriarch Meichuan lays the groundwork and then moves people with emotion, portraying his son as a good child who, despite being disabled, has not given up on himself and is still working hard for the rise of the village. Moreover, there is a turning point in the story. The main reason why Meichuan Baidi and Zhendou start fighting as soon as they meet is because of the youngest son Meichuan Neiyi, as mentioned by Patriarch Meichuan. Everyone knows that the reason why Meichuan Neiyi's legs were cut off was largely due to Zhendou.

Actually, it's perfectly normal for a talented young man favored by his family to have someone protect him on his first long-distance mission. He's the future leader of the family. But he was tricked by Masato. Baidi didn't fight Masato hand-to-hand because he couldn't beat him, otherwise he would have fought him.

So here he mentions his youngest son, who was tricked by Masato, hoping that Masato can mature and make up for the mistakes he made when he was young...

The surrounding clan leaders were speechless after hearing Clan Chief Mei Chuan's words. In their view, Mei Chuan's legs were indeed a result of a mistake made by Zhen Dou in his youth. Now, it seemed reasonable for Clan Chief Mei Chuan to fight for compensation for his son. They couldn't find a way to refute him. If their sons had been crippled, they would have done the same. Although it might be a loss of face, what was face worth compared to gaining the protection of a powerful figure?

400. Law of Conservation of Price Negotiation and Pricing

“Lord Fengying, what Chief Meichuan said makes sense. However, although Meichuan Neiyi still has talent, his own defects limit his future. Moreover, if we only consider talent, aren't those heroes who came down from the war and are lying in the hospital more qualified? At least they have realized their talents and proved themselves. It is a waste for someone who has defects but seems to have talent but has never proven himself.”

Since we're saying we'll leave the opportunity to the more needy youth, and I'm not bragging, my youngest daughter, Nianfang... ugh! My youngest daughter, Yusa, although not a legitimate heir and usually keeps a low profile, her talent surpasses even that of Yusaori. And my Yusa clan has another genius youth..."

Saori's father saw that the Meichuan clan chief, who had just been forming a team, was now betraying his teammates and only caring about himself. Good heavens! He couldn't stand it and immediately retorted, "I treated you as a teammate, and you betrayed me in the blink of an eye!" (▼へ▼メ)

Although the Meichuan clan used one spot and still has one left, the chances of competing for one spot with so many people are too small. In this regard, there is no distinction between large and small families. If their own family's child becomes a student of the Golden Lion, what can the Meichuan clan and the Yusa clan do? Can they do anything to them?

Moreover... before Saori's father arrived, he thought Saori must have obtained firsthand information, so he summoned the family members overnight to see if there were any outstanding young men in the family besides his youngest daughter. He was shocked to find that there was indeed such a young man in the family, whose talent was quite good. Although he couldn't compare to his youngest daughter, he was still among the top three in their generation in the village. Such a talented young man was quite respectable. So, after having this idea, he immediately brought a super gift package to the Wind Shadow Tower. He originally wanted to use Ebizo's connections to get in through connections, since they were practically family. Who knew that these guys, who were usually not enthusiastic in meetings, would run away so fast like centipedes.

In reality, he only needed one spot in his mind. He would send his youngest daughter to be Masato's student. If they spent a long time together and an incestuous relationship developed between teacher and student, that would be a pleasant surprise for him. As for the boy in his family, he could only blame his bad luck...
