Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

As for how it got to the ninja world, she was too lazy to think about it anymore. Things were already like this, and it wouldn't matter if she knew who spread it.

"Of course...no! I admit I'm a bit of a blabbermouth, but it's not like I'd say something like this out loud, is it? That's my own uncle. I wouldn't bother talking about how embarrassing it was for him to get thrashed by Madara Uchiha, lest I embarrass myself. I think it's very possible that, like last time, my uncle might be drunk somewhere and blurt it out, and some outsider might overhear..."

Shinto rolled his eyes and glared at the ceiling!

He didn't actually spread the rumor. Although he has a family history of big mouths, it's truly shameful for his own uncle to be beaten so badly. If he could go toe-to-toe with Madara, he wouldn't mind publicizing it to boost his fame, lest decades later even his own villagers don't know the name of their First Kazekage, while remembering the name of the First Kazekage of Konoha perfectly clearly. That's just too embarrassing to even mention...

"Sister, forget it. It's not important who spread the rumor anymore. The Iwa ninja are already preparing to fight Konoha. Should we take this opportunity to have another battle?"

Kaizo, looking at her strangely, handed the information in his hand to Chiyo and asked her a question.

"Oh? What's going on? What? Konoha only sent the Uchiha clan to intercept the Iwa ninja? (⊙_⊙)?"

Chiyo noticed her younger brother's strange expression, so she curiously took the information and exclaimed in surprise after reading it.

"Holy crap! Is this for real? The Uchiha clan going head-to-head with the entire Iwagakure ninja? This... did the Uchiha clan get their brains caught in a door? σ(⊙▽⊙a)"

Upon hearing Chiyo's words, Masato was equally surprised and stood up. He went to Chiyo's side and looked at the intelligence report. If it weren't for the fact that it was clearly written in black and white and that the person who delivered the message was a younger brother of the Miyako family, he would never have believed that the intelligence report was true.

Are the Uchiha clan really that tough?

One clan taking over an entire village? That's ridiculous... Maybe it would be more like it if Uncle Ban were here...

"...The news came from Yi, so it should be accurate. What kind of medicine did Tobirama Senju give the Uchiha clan to make them fight against more than 30,000 Iwagakure people? Even if they really fought one against five, it wouldn't work."

Haizo stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "At this moment, I truly admire Tobirama Senju, that Hokage, to the extreme. To be able to fool the Uchiha clan like this, his methods are incredibly powerful. The Uchiha clan isn't so easily fooled..."

"Snapped!"

"Regardless of what Tobirama Senju gave the Uchiha, Kaizo, tell Sunagawa to prepare. We'll join the fight when the Iwa ninja and the Uchiha start battling!"

After a moment's thought, Chiyo slammed her hand on the table and gave the order.

They've been locked in a stalemate with Konoha for over two weeks now, and the battle hasn't started because of the rumors. This isn't a solution; their battle lines are stretched too thin, and it's not good if it drags on for too long. It would be better to have a decisive battle with Konoha while the Iwa ninja are fighting the Uchiha. She estimates that the Kumo ninja are about to make their move, and when the Kirigakure joins the fray, Konoha definitely won't be able to hold out!

........

"Damn it! Uchiha, follow me! ?╬?д?╬?"

"Damn it! Iwa ninja, let's go! (-"-Angry)"

“…”

It's fighting!

The much-anticipated battle between the Iwa ninja and Konoha... no! To be precise, it's a fight between the Iwa ninja and the Uchiha clan!

Tobirama Senju was happy...

Three days later, the Iwa ninja officially arrived at the battlefield, while the Uchiha clan of Konoha were already on high alert. There was no confrontation or any classic opening remarks; in short, they met and started fighting without saying a word.

The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, saw a group of Uchiha in uniform from afar, and seeing their smug expressions—just like that guy's—he instantly got carried away. "If I can't beat you, I'll beat your clan!" (╬￣皿￣)

The Uchiha clan head was equally ruthless and taciturn. When had his clan, whose members were known for their deep-rooted arrogance, ever been treated like this? Seeing the Second Tsuchikage and his disciples leading the charge, he waved his hand and joined the fray.

It must be said that the Uchiha clan at this time was indeed strong. They dared to jump out and compete for the leadership immediately after Hashirama Senju's death, and they certainly had the confidence to do so. This time, the Uchiha clan, including the clan leader, sent nearly 10,000 people. One clan could pull out one-third of the Iwa ninja's forces at this time. What does that mean? Especially for the Uchiha, who could take on two people at once when they awakened their Sharingan and dared to take on five people at once when they had three tomoe, they truly had the style of the number one clan in the ninja world. In this respect, even their old rival, the Senju clan, could not compare.

Only 30,000 people... Our Uchiha clan can take on five at once!

That's not enough, bring in another 20,000...

The two sides fought for four days on the border of the Land of Fire, suffering heavy losses on both sides. The Iwa ninja fared somewhat better, as their large numbers meant that the sheer number of heads made it difficult to discern the extent of their losses without careful counting. The Uchiha clan, however, suffered more. While it's true they were known for their ability to take on five opponents at once, that was a slogan from Madara's reign. With Madara leading the charge, they could easily claim to be able to take on ten thousand. But now, the leader wasn't the legendary Madara, and not everyone could take on five opponents at once. Some one-tomoe or two-tomoe ninja could only manage two or three at a time.

With such a large disparity in numbers, even though the Iwa ninja were numerous and insignificant, the Uchiha clan was no match for them. By the fourth day of the battle, the Uchiha clan had already lost hundreds of members, most of whom were blasted away by the Second Tsuchikage and Onoki, who were flying around in the sky and unleashing massive area-of-effect attacks.

It has to be said that this Dust Release is really powerful. Once it touches even the slightest bit, it is broken down into molecules, leaving not even a trace. The more clever Uchiha clansmen will even try to sneak into the Iwa ninja crowd, while those who are a beat slower will be blasted into dust with a single shot.

44. I'm still wearing patches on my clothes.

However, the battle between Iwagakure and Uchiha also showed the world the power of one clan taking on five clans. Although taking on five clans is a bit of an exaggeration, the fact that one clan could go toe-to-toe with an entire village on its own shows that its strength is unparalleled. Who else but you is the number one clan in the ninja world!

However, far away in Konoha, Tobirama Senju looked at the intelligence reports in his hands every day, which showed how many Uchiha had died yesterday, how many had died today, and how many more were expected to die the day after tomorrow. He felt incredibly satisfied. If it weren't for his personality not allowing him to laugh like his goofy older brother, he would have wanted to run to the Hokage Rock and laugh at him for three days and three nights.

Even so, ever since the battle between the Iwa ninja and the Uchiha began, his handsome face still wore that smile that could charm countless young women, making the ANBU lurking in the shadows tremble with fear. The Hokage must still be single...

.......

"Hello! White-haired... uh, no, Chief Hatake, long time no see! You're still as handsome as ever. Didn't your little white-haired guy come with you...?"

The battle between the Iwa ninja and the Uchiha clan was quite intense, while the Sunagakure clan had also begun to make contact. Chiyo had wanted to start a war when the Iwa ninja and Uchiha clan first started fighting, but because of that rumor, her subordinates' minds were not on the war. This time, it was only because the news of the war between the Iwa ninja and the Uchiha clan overshadowed the story of Madara Uchiha's hobby that she had to do a lot of persuasion over the next few days to change her subordinates' minds.

Shindou, with his golden sword, arrived at the center of the standoff. Chiyo and Kaizo were unwilling to do the opening remarks, and Sunakawa refused to do it again after doing it once. So, the only option was for him, the MVP who had achieved an incredible five-double in the last battle, to speak.

Looking at the densely packed group of Konoha ninja dozens of meters ahead, standing in the center was an old acquaintance—the father of Konoha's White Fang. Beside him were several other members of the older generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, dressed in very familiar attire. These were likely the fathers of the three future Ino-Shika-Cho main characters. Especially striking was the Nara clan's iconic lightning rod-like hairstyle; only their clan in the entire ninja world possessed such a high level of aesthetic sense. Behind them followed a group of clan members, though not many—only about a hundred or so. After all, not everyone was as prolific as the most powerful clan in the ninja world…

Next to the Ino-Shika-Cho trio was an older woman walking a husky, followed by a group of clansmen, each with a husky. Needless to say, Konoha had sent an all-star lineup of Hatake, Ino-Shika-Cho, and Inuzuka to ambush them.

"...I've been here the whole time..."

Just as Masato finished speaking, a voice suddenly drifted by. Konoha's White Fang, seemingly out of nowhere, appeared beside him, a short blade gripping his right hand. However, this guy had a good sense of martial ethics; the blade remained sheathed...

If it weren't for the fact that a frontal assault and sneak attack are illegal, he would have stabbed him long ago. This bastard not only calls him White Hair, but he even dares to call his own father White Hair.

"Holy crap! Are you a ghost? You don't even make a sound when you walk! (▼へ▼メ)"

Shinto was genuinely startled by the sudden appearance of the little white tooth, especially seeing that the guy's hand was already on the hilt of his sword, threatening to stab him at any moment. Shinto had only recently awakened his Armament Haki; he wasn't sure if it could defend against a stab...

"Who is this kid? Why would Chiyo let him step forward?"

"I don't know! I've never heard of any geniuses from Sunagakure..."

"Idiot! If he weren't a genius, would Chiyo have let him out?"

"......"

At this point, the people in Konoha also started to discuss it. Generally speaking, when two sides start fighting, either their leaders come out and talk a lot to state their positions before they start fighting, or like the Iwa ninja, both sides are ruthless people who don't talk much when they meet and just draw their swords and fight.

Now Sunagakure has actually sent out a little brat as their representative. They would never believe he wasn't some kind of super genius. In their village, geniuses always have some privileges. Didn't they see that their genius child, Hatake Sakumo, never had to wait in line?

Apart from those present that day, no one else knew about Shinto's abduction of Tsunade and the Senju clan in Konoha. After all, it was not a good thing for their princess to be kidnapped on their own territory, so Tobirama Senju naturally issued a gag order.

"A genius boy from Sunagakure? No wonder the Hokage sent Sakumo here."

The Nara clan leader, with his large head, watched the two gifted children in the middle exchanging "friendly" words, stroking his chin and muttering to himself.

"Chiyo, our two villages have been at peace for many years. Why did Sunagakure launch this war? You should go back!"

At this moment, Nara Shika, the big-headed member of the Nara clan who was next to Shiro-chan's father, spoke up. This was also the reason why Tobirama Senju sent Ino-Shika-Cho with Shiro-chan's father. The Hatake clan is the type that tries to fight rather than talk, so it would be really difficult for him to argue with Chiyo. That's why they sent Ino-Shika-Cho to help out.

Nara Shika bypassed the little brat Masato and addressed Chiyo directly; after all, he wasn't shameless enough to talk back to a kid.

"This... Nara clan chief, you're mistaken. Living in the prosperous Land of Fire, you naturally can't understand the hardships of the Land of Wind. Your children play with brand-new kunai and shuriken from a young age, surrounded by elegant, tree-lined environments. Meanwhile, our Sand Village children toil under the swirling sandstorms, diligently practicing with rusty, worn-out kunai and shuriken, barely able to afford a sip of water. We want a better life too, is that wrong? Fortune changes every thirty years. Hashirama Senju is gone; it's time for our family to become the ninja world's overlord! We're all human, why should you live in the prosperous Land of Fire while we suffer in the miserable Land of Wind? Look at your clothes, clearly the latest styles, and look at us! I, the eldest son of the Miyako clan, have clothes with several patches! Nara clan chief, if you were in my shoes, you would do the same. Our Sand Village truly suffers..."

"Exactly! Why should I?!" (▼へ▼メ)

"Kill them, and this place should belong to us..."

"..."

Chiyo was about to speak, her mouth opened, but before she could utter a sound, Masato interrupted, launching into a passionate speech that brought tears to the eyes of the Sand Village ninja behind her. Thinking back to their childhoods, they realized they didn't even have kunai or shuriken, having to use mud instead. They were so poor they only had gold dust left. Compared to the Konoha ninja, their childhoods seemed so miserable...

44. Everyone debuted at the same time, but each promoted their own music.

"......"

Chiyo, Kaizo, and Sunakawa, who were standing in the center behind them, were utterly embarrassed. Chiyo, in particular, the matriarch of the family, wished she could dig a hole and disappear. Although the kid's words were quite effective, it was still a bit much to say that a young master's clothes were patched. Was he implying that she, as the matriarch, was good at managing the household...? (▼へ▼メ).

The patches on this kid's clothes were sewn on by her when he got torn in the last big battle and didn't bring any clothes with him.

"this....."

Nara Shika was surprised by the brat's eloquence, especially after seeing the several patches on the boy's clothes. He couldn't help but rub his temples. Having lived in the Land of Fire for many years, he had only heard rumors about the conditions in the Land of Wind, that they were somewhat harsh. However, he truly didn't know the Land of Wind could be this miserable. The Miyako clan was a powerful family in the Land of Wind, the family of the First Kazekage. He never imagined that this young master of the Miyako clan, either the First Kazekage's son or nephew, couldn't even afford a new set of clothes. Truly pitiful...

"What else is there to say! Follow me!!"

Before Shinto could say anything more, Kaizo reacted quickly, taking advantage of his underlings' heightened emotions by shouting and leading the charge. He truly dared not let the kid continue; if he did, the entire ninja world would say that Sunagakure had suffered so much they had to eat shit to survive. After the incident involving Madara's hobby, he knew just how fierce the gossip could be...

"Damn it! I haven't finished yet... Lion Chichitani! Little White Fang, get the hell out of here! We all debuted at the same time, let's each do our own thing..."

Seeing that Kaizo was giving him no chance to talk nonsense and had already led his men to charge, Shindou immediately drew his sword and unleashed several sword energies, but they were all blocked by Shiroya beside him, and he didn't get a single assist.

Seeing that little white-toothed guy striking a cool pose in front of him, Shinto's temper was about to flare up. Damn it, we all debuted at the same time, you don't care about the stats, I do! Why the hell are you stopping me...? (▼へ▼メ)

"Get past me first...!"

Sakumo Hatake is ruthless and doesn't talk much. The Hatake clan are all straightforward men who don't understand the importance of data for rookies. Plus, he was suppressed in the last battle in Konoha. At this moment, Sakumo Hatake only has Shinto in his eyes. He gripped his broken blade and charged forward.

"Damn it! You can play by yourself, I'm going to start grinding! Lion's Might - Earth Scroll!"

"Lion. Thousand Cut Valley!!"

"Shishiwei. Imperial Palace Scroll!!"

"Shuashuashua...!"

"Roar!..."

"What is this? (?｀?д?′)!!

"That brat knows Magnet Release too! Stop him... Ah!"

Big wave q!

Blowing waves!

Dig and grab!

Spray him!

Ezra!

If it were a one-on-one fight, he would definitely stay here and beat Hatake Sakumo to a pulp, but now is the time to engage in a team fight and boost stats. He has no intention of fighting him one-on-one. He randomly formed a few hand seals with his left hand, lifting up the ground and turning it into multiple giant lion heads that surrounded Hatake Sakumo. He then flew into the air and charged towards the crowd in the direction of Konoha, unleashing both lion heads and sword energy to secure a pentakill!

"??????"

After finally dodging several giant lion heads, Sakumo Hatake stared blankly at Masato, who was currently wreaking havoc in the sky. "He can fly! How the hell is this supposed to be fought?" (⊙_⊙)?

"Lion's Might - Earth Strike!"

"The power of the lion. Imperial palace scroll!"

"Lion. Thousand Cut Valley!"

Soaring through the air, Masato seemed to see his stats skyrocketing, completely exhilarated! Shiro-chan's father was being held back by Chiyo's signature Chikamatsu Ten. Although he skillfully dodged their attacks, he was also being held up by Chiyo. Until the Chikamatsu Ten were dealt with, there was no way to anticipate his movements. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the Inuzuka clan leader were also being held back by Sunagawa and Kaizo. Mainly, Sunagawa was holding his own against the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, because he could fly too!
