Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

He couldn't help but curse that bastard Golden Lion's entire male family in his mind.

It's unbelievable that they could come up with such a despicable method. They split up not far from Iwagakure. They lured Onoki away, and Shiki went to fight the Five-Tails. However, as they were leaving, that bastard had to say something else. He suggested that in order to better conceal their identities, the father and son should switch their identities when using the Transformation Jutsu. His father should become younger, and he should become less mature. That way, Onoki would definitely not be able to guess their identities.

He himself certainly disagreed. Being called "father" or "brother" by his own father was something that would easily invite disaster. But, to his dismay, his father actually agreed in order to beat up Mutokage. However, given their relationship, calling him "father" was not appropriate, so he changed it to "elder brother".

But being called "Big Brother" by your own father—that feeling is indescribably bittersweet!

Just like his father, the future Fourth Raikage raised his fist and vented all his anger on the group of Iwagakure ANBU underlings watching from the sidelines. His fighting style was the same as his father's when he was Raikage: he rushed up and started swinging his fists. However, his muscles, in terms of both hardness and density, could not compare to those of his father when he was Raikage. After all, his father had undergone electromagnetic therapy for decades, while he had only been doing it for a few years.

There was still a significant gap between the two sides. However, as the father of the Raikage, he was facing the second strongest fighter in Iwagakure, a Jinchuriki, while he was only facing Iwagakure's ANBU underlings. Therefore, when the future Fourth Raikage rushed into the crowd, it was like a wolf among sheep. His momentum vanished, and after dodging the ninjutsu of the Iwagakure ANBU underlings, he quickly closed in and delivered a powerful punch. Ninjas are generally physically weak, and even with just a powerful punch, the Iwagakure ANBU underlings would cough up blood and fly more than ten meters after being punched.

Although the Iwagakure ANBU had a large number of members, before the Fourth Raikage's stamina was exhausted, their reckless charge was tantamount to suicide.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Raikage and the young Purple was much more spectacular. Every punch was powerful and heavy. Only the Tailed Beast Cloak was thick enough, otherwise the young Purple would have been hammered to death. Although the Raikage's fighting style was brute force and lacked technique, he had too many fights to count. His experience was far beyond what the young Purple could compare to. It was like a master of Observation Haki fighting a little kid one-on-one. He knew exactly what the young Purple was going to do next.

This fight is impossible to fight!

Since it wasn't using chakra and had never seen the Raikage before, even if it sensed the Raikage's aura, it wouldn't know who he was. The First Raikage was still alive when it was being attacked by Senju, and now there's no Third Raikage yet, what the hell does it know!

Seeing that even its landlord, who was wearing its tailed beast cloak, couldn't defeat the other party, it was still shocked that there was a man in the ninja world with such strong physical strength besides Shiki's father. Could this be Shiki's father in disguise?

It was precisely because of this concern that it hadn't proactively come to help young Zi. The head injury from that "dad's" beating hadn't healed yet, and it didn't want to experience that excruciating pain again. Besides, that bastard seemed to be a paranoid, constantly hitting its head. While it wouldn't make it stupid, it still hurt like hell. Although this guy's aura was different from Golden Lion's, it was better to be safe than sorry. With its own chakra to heal, young Zi wasn't so easily killed...

"Damn it! Sun Wukong, who is this guy? How come he's so tough? Could he be the Golden Lion? (▼へ▼メ)"

Young Zi had already been battered and bruised, and the benefits of the Tailed Beast Cloak were becoming apparent. Not only could it temporarily enhance his five-dimensional attributes, but it could also repair his external injuries at any time. However, for Young Zi, it was now nothing short of torture, because while his physical injuries had been healed, the psychological trauma was slowly spreading. Since his debut, apart from his first battle against Konoha where he proved his worth and realized his talent, and after signing a top-tier contract with the Tsuchikage, whether it was White Fang or Golden Lion, they were all superstars. He had never proven himself again. He had heard that two people were going to fight outside the village and were about to invade, and he thought that his time to prove himself had finally come.

The opponent he encountered was a monster. He was no match for the opponent in a one-on-one melee, and the opponent didn't give him a chance to use ninjutsu. He didn't dare to summon the Four-Tails. Although he was a little annoyed that the Tsuchikage was always monitoring him, even though he was so good at fighting and his annual salary was so much lower than Tsuchikage's, he still loved his village very much. Every time he summoned the Four-Tails and it didn't come out, his comrades in the village would be hurt. This was completely beyond his control, so he really didn't want to summon the Four-Tails unless absolutely necessary, especially since this was right in front of their village.

But the guy in front of him, whose muscles and appearance were completely mismatched, was too strong. He couldn't beat him at all. This was a huge blow to his morale. It was like he thought he was a king after being able to borrow the power of the Four-Tails, only to find that he was still a bronze-level player. Although he couldn't even beat one person, the sense of disparity was too great.

"It's not him. I could remember that bastard's scent even if he were reduced to ashes. Be careful, this guy isn't using ninjutsu, he's definitely hiding his identity. I'm afraid he has ulterior motives..."

Of course, the four tails inside Young Purple's belly couldn't tell Young Purple its guess, otherwise Young Purple would think it was a coward.

So he firmly shook his head and said.

Hey! You know what!

What it says makes sense. This guy, who might be the father of the Golden Lion, and the guy who was fighting one-on-one with a group of ANBU underlings, never used ninjutsu. They just used their fists to hit people. Maybe it's because their ninjutsu is too obvious. As soon as they use it, people immediately know who they are. In this respect, they are very similar to the Golden Lion.

That dark, impenetrable physical technique, which even it couldn't penetrate, and that swordsmanship that looked like a thousand troops marching across the border, were all too obvious. So even the Four-Tailed Fox thought it had guessed correctly. This guy was very likely the Golden Lion!

In that case, it would be even less willing to come out. It's tragic to think about. It and its fifth brother were sold to Iwagakure by that tailed beast dealer, Hashirama Senju. But they are different beasts with different fates. It has been beaten up by Shiki the Golden Lion several times, while its fifth brother is being treated like a king in Iwagakure... ╥﹏╥.

551. The Raikage called out "Big Brother" again.

"Haha! Kid, again! I haven't had this much fun in ages! ヾ(^Д^*)/"

On the other hand, Raikage's side got more and more excited as the fight went on, that's the romance of men!

This visceral, muscle-on-muscle collision reignited his passion that had been dormant for years. In all his years since his debut, this was the most exhilarating and thrilling fight he had ever had. Throughout his decades-long career, he had fought countless battles, but the opponents he had faced were all highly skilled. He had almost never experienced such a satisfying, visceral physical clash. The last time he had such a fight was decades ago when the Eight-Tails rampaged. However, back then, because the village needed to be sealed as quickly as possible to prevent the destruction of the village, although he fought the Eight-Tails one-on-one, he was mostly assisting the sealing team in sealing the Eight-Tails and had no chance to enjoy this visceral, visceral thrill.

Moreover, fighting with bare hands without using Lightning Release Chakra Mode seems to be more exhilarating than using it. You can truly feel the sensation of being sent flying with a single punch, something you've never experienced before. Furthermore, this Four-Tails Jinchuriki is indeed quite resilient, unlike his usual opponents who would be gone after just a couple of punches.

"Damn it, you're using me as a punching bag....╥﹏╥"

Young Zi looked at the bastard charging at her again, gritting her teeth and wanting to cry inside. What kind of monster is this?!

All I want to do is prove my worth and show I deserve a top salary, why is it so hard...? ╥﹏╥

"Bastard! Dust Release... Rock Fist Technique! (▼へ▼メ)"

"boom!!".

Just as Raikage charged forward and young Purple silently wiped away her tears and continued laning, Onoki, filled with boundless rage, finally arrived. Flying in the sky, Onoki, radiating boundless fury, intended to unleash a map-wide attack to blast these two bastards who had slapped him in the face into dust.

But seeing his underlings lying sprawled on the ground, still barely breathing, and knowing his area-of-effect attack had a rather large range, he abruptly stopped his attack halfway through and instead unleashed a massive rock-crushing fist at the young bastard who was beating up the purple-haired guy. The feeling was indescribably awful...

"Hahaha! Son... ptooey! Big brother, Onoki's here, let's get out of here!"

Looking at Onoki, whose nose had turned black and purple, the Raikage considered that he couldn't use Lightning Release Chakra Mode if he got too close. Fighting Onoki one-on-one in this terrain would be extremely disadvantageous for him. He laughed twice, called out "Big Brother" to his son who was farming mobs outside, and then turned and left. The surrounding area was empty, which was practically Onoki's home ground for a top-tier gunner. Fighting him one-on-one here without going all out would make him a walking target.

boom!

"....-_-||"

After the future Fourth Raikage swept away two more Anbu underlings, he heard his father's shout and stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. Being called "big brother" by his own father was a bitter pill to swallow; he didn't know how many years his life would be cut short...

It's all that bastard Golden Lion's fault! (▼へ▼メ)

"Don't run away, you bastard! (f***ing ***)"

At this moment, Onoki was already furious. Seeing so many of his underlings injured, he knew that if these two bastards got away, he would be finished. Without thinking, he chased after them in the direction they had fled.

"Damn it! Lord Tsuchikage, don't pursue a cornered enemy! Pursue, pursue... oh no!"

Tu Tai, who had followed, looked at his underlings lying haphazardly on the ground and seemed to realize something. He saw his boss angrily chasing after them and tried to stop him, but it was too late. He could only sigh as he watched his boss's figure grow smaller and smaller.

He wanted to chase after it, but damn it, he can't fly!

We've fallen for their trap!

When he saw the ANBU underlings around him, all lying on the ground barely alive, and the young man in purple, who was badly beaten and dressed in tattered clothes, his mind suddenly snapped out of his daze. He instantly realized that this might be a diversionary tactic by the enemy.

The fact that the opponent could beat their Iwagakure's second strongest fighter, Young Murasaki, to such a sorry state suggests they couldn't possibly be no match for their Tsuchikage. Moreover, the fact that they could have easily killed their ANBU underlings but deliberately only injured them without killing them suggests that they wanted to quell the Tsuchikage's anger by seeing his underlings' miserable state, and then lure him to the ambush they had prepared beforehand.

The other party knew their Tsuchikage very well and knew that their Tsuchikage would get angry if he saw his own team being beaten like this, so he lured the Tsuchikage away. He could be fairly certain that the other party's target was likely their Tsuchikage.

But now the Tsuchikage has already fallen into the trap...

It has to be said that having an intelligence score of 95 is terrifying; in such a short time, one can guess the plan of the big-headed burlap sack just by looking at the scene.

That's right. Before leaving, Azaburo had told the Raikage and the others that if they didn't want things to escalate to an uncontrollable point, they should only injure without killing. That way, they could better provoke the cunning Onoki's anger. If too many people died, it could cause Onoki to go crazy, and the situation could escalate further. If a full-blown war broke out, no one would have a good outcome.

Secondly, Onoki is a well-established and cunning outsider, so it's not easy to scheme against him. If his underlings are all dead, Onoki might not be so quick to fall for their tricks. Only the cries of those people can keep stimulating Onoki's nerves and make it difficult for him to remain calm.

It can be said that when Azabu was perfecting Masato's plan, it was specifically aimed at Onoki's personality flaws.

It turned out that this approach was truly effective. Onoki, seeing his underlings groaning on the ground, was so angry he was practically bursting with rage. His eyes were filled with raging fury. He wanted to screw his calmness and kill those two bastards.

"Damn, having a high intelligence stat is awesome..."

Moreover, Shinto, who was watching the battle from afar with his Observation Haki and a god-like perspective, noticed Tsuchida's change in expression and couldn't help but feel envious and jealous of him. This guy is a true winner in life! Born into a small family, he was spotted by Onoki when he was young and quickly rose to power. Although he lost one hand and the title of "God's Right Hand" was no longer associated with him, he helped Onoki revitalize Iwagakure with his talent. It's practically Iwagakure's version of a loser's rise to power. Now, he has even seen through part of their scheme with his extraordinary intelligence.

The Raikage's actions were indeed aimed at Onoki.

However, it was all for naught. Even if they killed Tu Tai, he would never have expected that there would be further action on their side.

Seeing that the Raikage and Onoki had disappeared, he prepared to act, unleashing his full Observation Haki to scan the area.

Throughout the entire Hidden Stone Village, a vast amount of chakra was detected in a remote mountain range. To him, it was as vivid and clear as a firefly in the night...

552. Even if you change your appearance, that foul mouth remains the same.

"Damn bastard! Where do you think you're going? (▼he▼メ)"

Onoki in the sky was furious, chasing after the two bastards below while spewing insults, his hand flashing with white light as if he was about to fire a cannon at any moment.

However, the surrounding area was narrow and winding, and the two people below seemed to be seasoned veterans of the battlefield, moving erratically, making it impossible for him to aim. This result infuriated him even more, and he wondered which bastard was messing with him. Looking at the faces of the two people below, he swore he didn't recognize them at all, but their strong muscles gave him a sense of familiarity, somewhat reminiscent of the muscle men from Cloud Village. However, their fair skin dispelled that guess.

Moreover, when Kurajiro returned, he repeatedly confirmed that Kurajiro and his group did not encounter a single Cloud Ninja on their way back from the Land of Lightning, and their journey was smooth and without any obstacles.

The fact that the younger-looking young man below could easily suppress Iwagakure's second strongest fighter, Young Purple, was even more bizarre. There weren't many people in the ninja world who could suppress Young Purple, and he knew almost all of them. The most prominent one was that bastard, Golden Lion. However, the person below was definitely not that bastard Golden Lion. There was no reason, just a man's sixth sense. His first impression of Golden Lion was that he was being tested. Moreover, no matter how Golden Lion changed his appearance, his foul mouth remained the same. And all along the way, it was him who kept spewing insults, while the person below completely ignored him. Therefore, he could conclude that it was not Golden Lion.

But who else could it be but the Golden Lion?

Who the hell is messing with Onoki? Konoha definitely doesn't have someone like that...

"Father, is that enough? Onoki can't use Dust Release here due to the terrain."

As he moved at high speed, the future Fourth Raikage was a little excited, his voice trembling as he spoke. He! The village's future successor, his debut battle was about to give Onoki a good beating!

How many people throughout history have achieved such an incredible feat? In the entire ninja world over the past fifty years, only one Golden Lion could surpass him, having wiped out two Kage in his very first battle.

But his record is second only to the best in history. Even the "God of Shinobi" Hashirama Senju and the "Shura of the Shinobi World" Madara Uchiha are not as good as him!

Just thinking about the future Fourth Raikage is incredibly exciting.

I just finished off some Iwa ninja ANBU thugs, and then ran for so long, but I don't feel tired at all. To beat up Onoki right from my debut, this is a feat I can brag about for a lifetime! ヾ(^?^)?

"...There's a big cave ahead. We'll talk about it when we get there. This dwarf can fly, which is troublesome. I can't reach him here without using Lightning Release: Chakra Mode..."

Raikage looked around and, after considering for a moment, said, "No one knows a son better than his father." His son's voice was trembling with excitement, and he knew exactly what his son was thinking. This was also the reason he brought his son out. He was a few years older than Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, and the future of the village would definitely have to be handed over to the next generation. Although he really didn't want his son to take over his position to avoid being accused of abusing his power, there was really no one else in the next generation of the village who could stand on their own. His son was just so-so.

But he's already the best center among the short ones. To become the Raikage, being good at fighting isn't enough, it's the same all over the world. To rise to the top, you need to have achievements and a reputation to back you up. Originally, he didn't plan to let his son debut now, but in the battle between Konoha and Iwagakure, that blond kid Minato Namikaze from Konoha rose to fame. Onoki's son is not bad either, perfectly inheriting Onoki's cunning nature. Underneath his rugged appearance, he hides a little cunning.

In addition, there is Sasori of the Red Sand, whose talent surpasses that of the old lady Chiyo. He became famous at a young age. Although he is still young, he has the talent to make puppets since he was rumored to have started at the age of four. That talent is visible to the naked eye, and his future is promising!

He didn't know what the next generation would be like since Kirigakure was acting as a gatekeeper, but the young people from Iwagakure, Konoha and Sunagakure were starting to gain fame among the four major ninja villages on land. He was a man who valued his reputation more than his life, so he naturally couldn't let his son continue to keep a low profile.

Originally, they planned to make the troublesome bastard in their Land of Lightning their son's first battle, preferably a spectacular one, a decisive victory, so that their foreign teaching department could boast about it, at least their reputation couldn't be inferior to Onoki's son and that little blond kid from Konoha.

But who could have imagined that Onoki's underling would be so cunning? After crashing the party, he didn't even go far and just left, causing his son's debut to be ruined right before his debut.

This definitely won't work. It's not that the Raikage is bragging, but their Hidden Cloud Village has a superior geographical location. Apart from being separated from Konoha by two small countries, both Iwagakure and Sunagakure are half a map away. Plus, with him protecting Hidden Cloud Village, nothing much has happened in the past few decades except for one Eight-Tails attack and one Konoha ninja attack. If his son continues to keep a low profile, he'll probably have to wait until the next great war to make a name for himself. But nobody knows when the next great war will be, but it definitely won't happen in the next year or two.

So when Raikage went to settle scores with Onoki, he decided to bring his son along to help him rack up some achievements. This way, others would know that Kumogakure wasn't lacking in talent, they were just relatively low-key.

He'd already come up with the title: Raikage's son's first battle: a brutal beating of Onoki...

.....

Meanwhile, after the Raikage and his son lured Onoki away, Shinto also took action. Using his Observation Haki, he bypassed numerous hidden sentries and arrived at the place where the Five-Tails was sealed. After knocking out the guards at Iwa ninja with a few slaps, he headed towards the place where the Five-Tails was sealed.

It has to be said that Onoki's defensive awareness was quite good. After he released the Five-Tails and made it fly around a few times, Onoki immediately moved the sealing place. This place was very remote, and several barriers that isolated perception were set up outside. If it weren't for the Observation Haki, which has a power system different from the Naruto world, other people might not have been able to find this place. Moreover, there was a large group of Anbu members guarding the outside of the barriers 24 hours a day, making this place as solid as an iron gate.

"What! Kim...."

"boom!"

"Clang!!"

It's unclear whether the Iwagakure village's barrier was too weak or the underlings maintaining it were too incompetent, but the barriers were nowhere near as good as the Uzumaki clan's, as if they were made of paper. Shinto arrived in front of the barrier and, before the Iwagakure underlings maintaining it could react, he headshot them one by one, then punched the barrier with a punch. The barrier shattered, making a sound like a mirror being broken.

553. Who is the older brother and who is the younger brother?

"Oh dear! Let me see who this is? Huh? Isn't this the Five-Tails? Why is it locked up here? Is Onoki not going to feed you dog food? It's so pitiful, a dignified tailed beast lying here like a dead man!"

In a cage covered with various talismans and symbols he couldn't understand drawn on the ground, lay listlessly an ugly creature that was neither horse nor deer, with a dolphin's head and five tails dragging from its rear end.

One word: Ugly!
