Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

But at this time, another group of guys came to the border of the Land of Fire to cause trouble. Based on their modus operandi and Nara Shikaku's analysis, this group is likely the same group as before. Isn't that group the Iwa ninja?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind: wasn't this his chance to make a name for himself in history?

Previously, the Iwa ninja not only came to their Land of Fire to cause trouble, but also went to the Land of Lightning and the Land of Wind to cause trouble. If he had stepped forward to invite the Cloud Village and the Sand Village to form a team, the combined strength of the three great ninja villages would have been enough to sweep through the Iwa Village's stronghold without any problem. Even if he wasn't the one leading the team, as the initiator and leader of this operation, this achievement would have been enough to make his name go down in history!

Isn't this exactly what he wants?

So while he sent Sakumo out to intercept the group of Iwa ninja, he waited for the right moment to send a team invitation to Sunagakure and Kumogakure. If he sent a team invitation to Kumogakure and Sunagakure from the beginning, Kumogakure and Sunagakure might not agree. After all, since the first war, Kumogakure, Sunagakure and Iwagakure have been allies who have opposed Konoha. Even if they know that it was Onoki who sent people to disrupt their territory, they would not agree to team up with Konoha to pull off a big heist.

Therefore, we still need to wait for the right opportunity. It would be best if Sakumo could make a big fuss about it, the bigger the better. Then, when everyone is watching, he can step forward and extend a team invitation to Kumogakure and Sunagakure. He believes that under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Raikage and Kazekage will have no reason to refuse him.

Furthermore, many in Konoha are unwilling to initiate a ninja war. For example, White Fang and Jiraiya are top-tier members. If Kumogakure and Sunagakure don't agree to let them join, he, as the Hokage without significant military power, really won't be able to command them. Especially White Fang; although he's left the Anbu, given his status as a half-Hokage, he can't really rely on his seniority to get ahead...

Fortunately, things turned out exactly as he expected. Sakumo was incredibly reliable. He not only decimated the group of Iwa ninja but also managed to prevent Onoki from showing up. In fact, the fight broke out on his own turf.

While everyone's attention was focused on this area, he stepped forward and made an application to Kumogakure and Sunagakure, saying that he had already seen the image of their Konoha flag planted on the Iwagakure crystal!

But... the final result left him feeling frustrated. The Kazekage ignored him and didn't respond for a long time, which made him feel very uncomfortable and like he was being ignored. He had been the Hokage's assistant for so many years, when had he ever been ignored?

This is the first time.

The Raikage went even further, completely slapping him in the face by saying that Mitokado Homura wasn't qualified?!

Raikage's words deeply stung his fragile heart. He truly regretted not having diligently practiced his combat skills with his master when he was young. Otherwise, he would have definitely challenged that bastard Raikage to a duel and beaten him to a pulp!

Don't you know you shouldn't hit someone in the face? (▼へ▼メ)

Since that day, he always felt that people looked at him strangely, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Even Danzo, whom he had been arguing with but dared not talk back to during this period, could be seen to have some contempt in Danzo's eyes.

It's better to stay home and hide for a while than to go out and embarrass yourself at this time...

"Hey..."

Seeing his dejected and resigned state, Mitokado Homura's wife sighed helplessly, turned around, and left.

Where are you going?

When Mitokado saw his wife leave, he casually asked her a question.

"I made an appointment with Biwako to get my hair done."

"Remember to bring money..."

591. Little White Teeth is on the front page!

"Sis, Naruto's blood vessels have burst again. Should we go back and check on him?"

In a tavern in the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire, Nawaki, who had finally grown plump and healthy in Sunagakure but was now pale and thin, was gnawing on a large leg of meat and asking Tsunade, who was drinking a little wine beside him, about how it all brought him to tears. Ever since they left Sunagakure, they had returned to a life of hiding. This was the first time he had eaten meat since leaving Sunagakure, and the thought of it made him feel bitter. If it weren't for his older brother Orochimaru's help and the fact that he had secretly saved some money, he might have become the first member of the Senju clan to starve to death in history.

Looking back on my life in Konoha, I feel like I was worse than a dog!

He really misses the village. Although it's a bit dangerous, at least there he can eat his fill and stay warm. Right now, he can't eat ramen, and the sight of ramen makes him want to vomit.

So when I overheard the neighbor say that Naruto has had another stroke and is in the hospital, I figured I could just use that as an excuse to go back to the village and continue being the young master...

"boom!"

"Idiot, are you planning to go back and deliver yourself to his door? The old Hokage is still in good health, he won't die... hiccup... If there's food, hurry up and eat, and then we'll leave here as soon as possible."

Tsunade, who was sipping her drink, heard her younger brother's words and, in frustration, punched him in the head with an iron fist. Afterward, she shook her wrist as if savoring the feeling of the blow.

If you weren't such a good-for-nothing, why would I have bothered taking you away from the village?

Back in the village, her work at the hospital kept her busy, and she didn't have a clear understanding of her younger brother's talent. She mostly relied on what his clansmen and Orochimaru had told her. After all, he was a member of the Senju clan and her own brother. While others had given up, she still held onto hope for him. With such a great grandfather, his talent couldn't be lacking. His previous lack of achievement was probably due to his privileged upbringing; he had obtained many things effortlessly. For him, it was incredibly easy. If he wanted to learn ninjutsu, the Hokage would shamelessly present him with sealing manuals, practically begging him not to learn. If he wanted to learn taijutsu, he'd immediately have the Super Strength Technique, and his great-uncle would give him the Konoha taijutsu developed by his grandfather. If he wanted to learn sealing techniques, the entire sealing team would take turns explaining them to him. This fostered his lazy, unmotivated personality; he learned anything haphazardly but ended up with a mediocre, ineffective style. Now, in this new and challenging environment, Tsunade truly refused to believe that this brat couldn't succeed under her careful guidance!

Jiraiya was also at the bottom of the class back then, but in the end, after being bombarded with bowls of toxic motivational speeches by the Hokage and Orochimaru, he worked hard and finally surpassed everyone else.

If even an idiot like Jiraiya could work hard and succeed, why can't Nawaki, who isn't an idiot, do the same?

So after she figured it out, during this period she didn't gamble all the time. She would squeeze out two or three hours every day to teach Rope Tree. Although her methods were a bit violent, it was the best way to educate Rope Tree. Back in the village, the people couldn't bear to hit or scold him, which is why he was so unrestrained.

However, after this period of "education through love," he finally clearly recognized Nawaki's talent. She also deeply understood the helplessness of her friend Orochimaru. This kid's attitude was absolutely right. Whether it was superhuman strength techniques or ninjutsu, this kid learned with exceptional seriousness under her supervision. Even she was ashamed of herself. If she had been this serious back then, there would have been no Orochimaru, and Jiraiya would have been out of the picture.

However, Rope Tree was very serious, but his progress was very slow. Even a pig would spit out water after learning a water ball technique for so long, but this kid had only learned it once before, and when he tried to learn it a second time, he couldn't even spit out a drop of saliva. His chakra control was so good that he could climb trees and walk on water one day, but the next day he couldn't control it at all.

At this moment, she finally realized just how damn powerful Rope Tree's talent was. Others could never forget what they learned, but this kid forgot it all after just one night's sleep. If it weren't for the bond of blood, she would have suspected that this kid had been switched at birth.

This kid still wants to go back to Konoha. If only he had Minato's talent...

Anyway, it's all tears. Others only got the hardest Flying Thunder God Technique and they can master it, but this kid got the encyclopedia and still can't learn it. Just thinking about Tsunade makes me angry, and I can't help but want to punch that dog's head again to vent my anger...

........

"puff!"

"Cough cough cough...! White Tooth's son graduated early?"

At the dinner table, Shinto sprayed Ebizo's face with saliva. After coughing a few times to catch his breath, he looked at Ebizo, whose face was covered in saliva.

The fight between White Fang and Onoki ended with Onoki's departure, but that news has now become old news. The headlines in the ninja world are now dominated by White Fang's son, Little White Fang, who at five and a half years old fought a genin one-on-one and held his own. In the end, he forced Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was on his sickbed, to sign his application form, making him the youngest ninja in the history of the ninja world.

Actually, that's not entirely accurate. In the chaotic era, many people went to the battlefield at the age of three. So, strictly speaking, Shiroya isn't the youngest ninja in the history of the ninja world, but it's true that he is the youngest ninja since the ninja village era.

Moreover, at the age of five and a half, he was able to fight a genin one-on-one without being at a disadvantage, a feat that truly amazed everyone.

"Now that the news has spread throughout the ninja world, how could it be false? The Hatake clan truly lives up to its reputation. First there was White Fang, and now we have White Fang's son... truly..."

Ebizo wiped the water off his face and couldn't help but feel troubled. Konoha's feng shui is really damn good!

What can a five-and-a-half-year-old do?

When Shinto was five and a half, he had just awakened Magnet Release and discovered his extraordinary talent. However, at best, he could only bully some kids his own age, and at most, he could only take on a genin one-on-one. Although Konoha's prestigious families like Hatake Sakumo started training at the age of three, most of them only practiced the basics. Before they grew up, the difference between them was not that big. The idea of ​​a five-year-old defeating a jonin or being invincible at six years old only exists in novels. In reality, no matter how talented a five-year-old child is, they will not be very strong due to physical limitations. And taking on a genin one-on-one at five and a half years old is precisely the limit for that age group.

Konoha already had one White Fang, enough to rival Shinto for an entire era. Now, they've produced another five-year-old White Fang who can single-handedly defeat a genin. If this little White Fang becomes as powerful as his father, White Fang, and Shinto gets old, who knows if Sasori will be able to hold his own...

592. Meng Erdai Xiaobaiya

"Uh...."

Seeing Ebizo's sentiments, Shinto knew that the old man had misunderstood, but he didn't say anything. Konoha had always been the most powerful and auspicious place for many years, that goes without saying. As for geniuses and talents, they emerged one after another, he already knew that.

What surprised him was why Wu Wukai would graduate early. In the original story, this white-haired guy had to take over the family business early because his father died young and the pillar of the family collapsed. But now, not only is White Fang alive and well, he even gained popularity by fighting with Onoki last time. Logically speaking, the pillar of the family is still alive and well, and he is also one of the top talents in Konoha. He can just be a powerful second-generation heir and that's enough. Why is he in such a hurry to apply for graduation?

Graduating at five and a half sounds awesome, but it comes with many problems. First, there's the issue of teammates. Just being White Fang's son means he can't find a team leader. In the original story, Hiruzen Sarutobi casually assigned White Fang teammates and a team leader right after graduation because White Fang was dead. The only enemy White Fang still held a grudge against was Chiyo, who held a high position in Sunagakure and was already busy with his "autistic" grandson. He wouldn't have time to deal with White Fang's son. So, in the original story, because his powerful father was gone, White Fang's safety was relatively guaranteed. Moreover, times change quickly. He could stay in Konoha for a year or two before going on missions. By then, White Fang's influence would have faded, and few would remember there was ever a white-haired guy named White Fang in Konoha. People who didn't know him might even mistake him for Jiraiya's son because of his white hair! ヾ(^?^)?

But things are different now. White Fang isn't dead, and because of Golden Lion, his popularity and reputation are far higher than in the original story. After all, he's a legendary ninja who debuted at nine and killed a near-Kage at twelve. In the original story, White Fang didn't debut that early; he only became truly famous during the Second World War, and was still quite a distance from being a legendary ninja. To put it nicely, White Fang is about the same as him—as many people love him, as many hate him. Many people have been killed by White Fang over the years, and countless people in Sunagakure alone are determined to kill him to avenge their parents...

White Fang didn't die. His influence is immense, as evidenced by the fact that White Fang's early graduation made the entire ninja world aware of it. In the original story, White Fang's early graduation would at most make the Konoha Morning News, but now he's been dominating the ninja world's headlines for days on end. Even the news about White Fang fighting Onoki was pushed down.

So even finding a mentor/bodyguard for the young scion like White Fang would be a headache for Hiruzen Sarutobi. Konoha has many talented people, but only a handful of Red Staff members, and even fewer Double Flower Red Staff members. With Tsunade gone, there are only three left. Jiraiya is also absent, leaving only White Fang, him, and Orochimaru. White Fang, a powerful second-generation scion like the young scion, isn't even guaranteed to be mentored and protected by a single Red Staff member. At least a Double Flower member would be needed. But White Fang is his biological father, and there's never been a tradition of having one's biological father as a mentor. Otherwise, if someone called him "teacher" during the day and "dad" at night... wouldn't that be chaos?

Hiruzen Sarutobi currently has limited energy, and the young white-haired boy's seniority also means they are destined to be apart. Hiruzen Sarutobi is even less likely to let the young white-haired boy associate with Orochimaru. Therefore, the most suitable mentor and bodyguard for the young white-haired boy is Jiraiya. However, Jiraiya is not here, so Shinto can imagine that Hiruzen Sarutobi is probably not at ease even lying in the hospital.

In the original story, Obito, Madara's teammate and the epitome of Madara, and Rin, Obito's world, were still sitting side-by-side at the Ninja Academy, eating fruit. Minato Namikaze hadn't yet risen to the rank of Double Flower Red Staff. Therefore, he estimated that the young ninja would likely spend several years doing routine cleaning missions in Konoha. Other missions would involve leaving the village. Given Hiruzen Sarutobi's protective nature towards young ninjas, he wouldn't dare let the young ninja go out on missions with ordinary Jonin; that would be harmful to both himself and others...

The same logic applies to Sasori. With his strength, he could have graduated and started working several years ago. However, Chiyo, the head of the Ninja Academy, stubbornly prevented him from graduating because he had accumulated too much hatred in the ninja world. Without a mentor and bodyguard to protect him, Chiyo was worried that Sasori would be implicated. Moreover, Chiyo hoped that Sasori would reach his peak right from the start, developing cautiously in the early stages and then stunning everyone. After all, Sasori's fame was already great enough. Who in the ninja world didn't know the name of Sasori, the nephew of Shiki the Golden Lion and the beloved grandson of the puppet master Chiyo? So Sasori didn't need to boast anymore; just the fact that he started making his first puppet at the age of four had already amazed everyone.

"Hey kid, that White Tooth is so cocky, do you think you can handle him? I've been competing with his dad for half my life and I've never lost. Don't embarrass me..."

Shindou looked at the handsome Sasori, who was quietly being a pretty boy, and teased him by pinching his cheek.

He had a clear idea of ​​what White Fang's future would hold. It could be said that his success and failure both stemmed from the Sharingan. Without that Sharingan, White Fang's talent might not have been that great. After all, for a member of the Hatake clan whose talent was primarily in ninjutsu, his starting point was already off. While the Sharingan made him a true "real man for a few seconds," it was precisely this Sharingan that fully activated his "50/50" physique. Even Kaguya could hold her own for those few seconds. In short, while White Fang's future achievements might not surpass his father's, he had accomplished what even his father couldn't, so his achievements were certainly worthy of the title!

As for Handsome Scorpion's future, he's unsure because of this little butterfly's involvement. If he really turns himself into a wooden puppet like in the original story, he might be able to bully Little White Fang in the middle stages, but once Little White Fang gets the "gift pack" in the late game, Handsome Scorpion will be out of luck...

"Hmph! Boring, I'm full..."

Her pretty face was attacked again. Handsome Scorpion broke free from that evil hand, gave a haughty snort, stood up, turned around and left, as if he didn't care at all.

But in his heart, he was silently chanting the name of that little white tooth... oops! Kakashi Hatake.

Don't get me wrong, he wasn't interested in that little white-toothed guy, nor was he interested in the petty squabble between the middle-aged jerk and White Fang. What he cared about was that the middle-aged jerk was strong, so White Fang, who had been going toe-to-toe with him for decades, must also be strong. And this little white-toothed guy was White Fang's son, and at such a young age, he already had a record of fighting genin one-on-one, almost on par with him. So, if he ever had the chance in the future, he wouldn't mind seeing if White Fang's son truly lived up to his reputation...

593. Take care of Handsome Scorpion's matter in a few years.

"Look at your precious grandson and son, still the same scoundrel! If I hadn't had the foresight to find him a girlfriend back then, our Gong Lie family would be wiped out!"

"In a couple of years, when he's a bit older, around thirteen or fourteen, we should get them settled down as soon as possible, making it a fait accompli. That would be the best-case scenario, to avoid any unforeseen complications. Girls change a lot as they grow up; who knows if Xingli will still be devoted to him? If someone else steals her away, you'll have no one to blame but yourselves..."

Seeing that Karin's mother had also chased after them, Masato complained to Chiyo and Sasori's parents.

"puff!"

"Ahem... Big brother, isn't this a bit too early? Yusaori and I didn't get married or do *that* until we were eighteen..."

The food in Handsome Scorpion's father's mouth was sprayed directly at Ebizo's face. Fortunately, Ebizo reacted quickly this time, dodging left and right with extremely stylish movements that rivaled even White Fang's. If it were any other time, Handsome Scorpion's father would definitely applaud his stylish uncle, but now he was almost choked to death. He coughed twice as usual and asked speechlessly.

"Yeah, big brother, why are you thirteen or fourteen?"

Saori nodded. They really liked Anri; she was very caring. Their son was too insecure and definitely needed someone to look after him. Besides, for the sake of future generations, only their exceptional son, Sasori, could handle the Uzumaki clan's genes. However, thirteen or fourteen was too young. Things weren't like before. Although the village didn't have a written rule about the age for marriage and children, they were all top students and had studied biology. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old was still growing; it wasn't good for his health…

"Your situation is different from your son's. If Handsome Scorpion inherited half of Jie's abilities, I wouldn't be worried. But you've seen how your son is now; he never takes the initiative. If he keeps dragging this on, something bad might happen. Thirteen or fourteen... uh... that's right in his rebellious phase. Jie was a good boy when he was young, and he was rebellious enough. Who knows what your son will do with his personality? If he gets married and has children, he'll unconsciously become more responsible and a bit more stable, which will help balance out his personality..."

Saori asked a good question: why thirteen or fourteen years old? Is Masato worried that Sasori might go through a rebellious phase and, like in the original story, secretly kill Sunagawa and never come back? So he's giving him a heads-up.

In the original story, Sasori secretly killed Sunagawa and ran away around the age of fifteen. He didn't know the exact time, but if Sasori did the same thing in the future, he could at least make sure Sasori had a run-in with Karin's mother before leaving, so that Sasori wouldn't become a wooden doll and lose his biceps. At least the Miyazaki clan would still have descendants...

He even wondered if Chiyo's righteousness had moved the heavens, so God arranged for him to travel through time. Perhaps God saw how pitiful Chiyo's family was and sent him to save them. His son and daughter-in-law died, his beloved grandson became a terrorist and turned into a wooden puppet, and not only that, he also died in the end. He himself died to save Gaara. In the end, only Ebizo, a single dog, was left of the whole family. It can be said that the family line was truly wiped out.

Even if his transmigration couldn't change much, at least it wouldn't wipe out their entire family. And if Sasori couldn't catch them, there was still him and Tsunade...

Although he wasn't sure if, with Jie and Yusa still alive, Sasori would still kill Sunagawa and become a terrorist like in the original story, White Fang didn't die either, and didn't Little White Hair graduate early like in the original story?

So it's better to stick to the plan.

"Hmm...you're right, let's do it your way."

After listening to Masato's explanation, Chiyo nodded. Although she didn't want four generations to live together so "young," she felt that what he said made sense regarding her precious grandson's personality. Her precious son only became more mature after becoming a father, while her precious grandson's personality was too withdrawn. She didn't expect her precious grandson to be like his father, but at least she hoped he could improve. Otherwise, she wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting the future of the village to him when he went through his rebellious phase, not to mention the trouble he might cause. Although her eldest nephew was crazy and unserious, he was at least quite reliable and could be relied upon in crucial moments. But with her precious grandson's personality, she really had no confidence. At least until she had thought of a more suitable candidate for the next Kazekage than her precious grandson, her precious grandson was the designated next Kazekage.

Moreover, the Uzumaki clan's genes are truly exceptional. Over the years of teaching Anri, she has been increasingly amazed by Anri's talent. The sheer amount of chakra and vitality she possesses is simply incredible. She even suspects that if Anri's head were cut off and put back on, Anri could be resurrected.

As for chakra, not counting the Seven-Tails inside her, Anri's own chakra is already immeasurable, more than a hundred times her own. If future generations of their clan have this talent... just thinking about it is exciting...

"Mother, you too..."

Seeing that even his mother had been persuaded, Handsome Scorpion's father looked up at the sky helplessly. How could there be such a big difference between people? Thinking back to himself back then, his mother had clearly stipulated that before he turned eighteen, he and Yusa could only hold hands. If he wanted to break through that barrier and complete the ultimate mission, he had to wait until he turned eighteen.

But when it comes to her own son, the mother becomes the ring toss drum...

"Alright, Masato already said that Sasori's situation is different from yours, so let's treat special cases specially."

Chiyo looked at her beloved son and said calmly, "He's still not mature enough!"
