Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"I am a member of the Miyagi clan," said Shindou, who was slumped on the gold-rimmed "dragon throne" and barely alive, to Chiyo beside him.

What the hell? Weeding, cleaning the room—they had barely arrived home with Scorpion and the others when Chiyo had already had those aunties take care of everything. Chiyo was clearly just trying to avoid making her precious grandson suffer, so she was abusing her power for personal gain.

This grandmother's love is so damn profound.

This is a privilege that even Sasori's father never enjoyed. Back then, because he was preparing for a war, he skipped the daily grind and went straight to Chunin, then joined the battle against his comrades. When he came back, he just lazed around and accumulated experience without ever being promoted to Jonin. He never went through the daily grind at all.

However, Scorpion's father wasn't so lucky. By the time he graduated, the war had already ended, and at that time, Chiyo was still quite impartial. Even if her son was a prince, he had to start from the bottom. So he endured a very tough half-year, doing daily tasks with his friends every day, and taking a shower at the door before entering the house every night.

Now that it's Handsome Scorpion's turn, everything's changed...

622. The consequences of Madara being unhappy are quite serious.

As soon as Sasori got home, he ran into the toy room, closed the door, and was probably up to something with Karin's mother inside. There were crackling sounds coming from inside.

Little Motor would occasionally blow on a lump of iron in the yard, or he would vigorously work on it like a tiger, but he couldn't even leave a mark on the iron. When he got tired, he would drink some of Chiyo's love juice. This was hardly a daily routine.

"Please don't tell your precious son this, I'm afraid he'll become withdrawn..."

Masato is speechless. The more miserable Sasori's father was back then, the more carefree his son is now...

"Hehe, if Jie had worked as hard as Xie back then, I would have done the same."

Chiyo ignored Masato's sarcastic remarks and smiled as she looked at the little motor, who was diligently working on a lump of iron.

Her precious grandson never lifts a finger; she herself wouldn't even let him sweep the floor or wash dishes. Now she wants him to do odd jobs for others, getting all smelly every day? This can't be a joke!

Moreover, her precious grandson is so talented and hardworking, devoting his heart and soul to puppetry. In her opinion, grinding those unnecessary daily tasks is a waste of time. Her precious grandson's talent is stronger than hers, so it's better to let him spend more time on puppetry. Even if her precious grandson's personality doesn't become that of a Kazekage in the future, it would be good for him to be a high-level fighter like her nephew.

Moreover, Maki is a good kid. Look how hard the little guy works. These are the future of Sunagakure.

Her precious son was already spending all his time flirting with girls at that age. If he had wanted to work that hard, she wouldn't have made him suffer so much.

"...I think you're just jealous of your daughter-in-law..."

Shinto rolled his eyes speechlessly and remained silent. Compared to the life of that little white-toothed boy in Konoha, handsome Sasori was now practically a king. What could he do? After all, Sasori's grandmother was the most high-profile person in Sunagakure...

........

Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain, next to Sunagakure, it rains year-round, making the air humid. Having been the first major battlefield during World War II, even though the war is over and Hanzo of the Salamander, a Kage-level leader, is protecting the area, the situation there isn't much better. Ninjas from various villages often choose this place as their arena for duels. While Hanzo can protect smaller villages, he doesn't hold the same influence over the four major ninja villages. Therefore, even after the war, while the major ninja villages enjoy peace and prosperity, the small countries and villages of the Land of Rain, caught between the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure, continue to be plagued by constant warfare.

Although Hanzo the Salamander is the leader, he started from the bottom and his family was poor when he was young, so he couldn't receive any high-level education. That's why he took the risk of transplanting pufferfish venom sacs. So, such a person's vision is ultimately not very high. It's easy for him to be the leader of a street, and he can probably manage a gang. But it would be difficult for him to manage a country, even a small one. After he successfully staged a coup and became the supreme leader of the Land of Rain, the country developed well at first under his powerful and oppressive military policies. However, from the beginning to the end of World War II, many problems followed one after another, and Hanzo the Salamander himself didn't have much education.

Although he was a Kage-level ninja, some smaller ninja villages and countries would give him face and choose relatively remote locations for battles to avoid causing too much trouble for the Land of Rain. However, the forces of the major ninja villages didn't consider this. Every village had at least one or two elite ninja, so they fought wherever they could, wherever they could find a fight. The only one in the Land of Rain who was of a higher rank was Hanzo of the Salamander, but even he couldn't possibly be constantly intervening in fights. Therefore, as long as the major ninja villages didn't go too far and threaten his rule and status in the Land of Rain, Hanzo of the Salamander would turn a blind eye and tolerate it. After all, he was still the king of the Land of Rain...

However, with Hanzo turning a blind eye to this, the ninjas from various villages became increasingly unscrupulous. At first, everyone restrained themselves a little, since even if Hanzo was not high-class, he was still a double-flower red stick, so the battles generally did not involve too many civilians.

However, most ninjas are immature and easily angered. Once they start fighting, they easily lose their temper and use all sorts of random ninjutsu and explosive tags indiscriminately. In addition, Hanzo's attitude towards the salamander makes these ninjas even more unscrupulous.

This has resulted in the civilians living in the Land of Rain living in dire straits every day, and has also led to the birth of various illegal organizations dedicated to "saving the world."

Among them, the Akatsuki organization, whose core ideology is "If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better place," stands out the most. As three important characters who have driven the continuous development of the Naruto world, Yahiko, the love and peace, Konan, the biggest arms dealer in the ninja world, and Nagato, the rice carrier who carries rice up several floors, have only received two years of training from Jiraiya, and all three are relatively old students. However, due to the needs of the plot, their strength has increased at an unreasonable speed after Jiraiya left. In just a few years, except for Nagato, who is still alive and has not yet fully activated Madara's gift package and is slightly weaker in strength due to his cowardly personality, both Yahiko, the love and peace, and Konan, the biggest arms dealer in the ninja world, have reached the level of Jonin.

Konan and Nagato, these two future world bosses, are still loving and positive young people from the Land of Rain under Yahiko's influence. Since graduating, the three of them have been wandering every corner of the Land of Rain, just like the protagonists in novels who roar when they see injustice and set off on their journeys... Coupled with their loving propaganda slogans, they have become the most powerful gang among these illegal organizations in just two years. Many righteous people in the Land of Rain are proud to join their gang.

This "organized crime group," the most powerful in the Land of Rain with a bright future, grew stronger and stronger under the leadership of the three. However, Madara, who was far away in an underground entertainment center in the Land of Water, was very unhappy after listening to his underlings' report.

If Madara is unhappy, the consequences could be quite serious!

623. Only those with round eyes can be the third child.

"Hmph! Nagato, that piece of trash! (▼へ▼メ)"

In an underground club in the Land of Water, after listening to White Zetsu's report on Nagato's work over the past few years, Madara, who had been hanging on for several years, finally calmed down his raging anger after smashing up two underground clubs. However, the thought that his round-eyed successor was still in such a bad state made him furious again.

Originally, since the Rinnegan didn't belong to that useless person, the black-clad underling's words actually made sense. He needed to prevent the body from adapting to the Rinnegan. He originally thought that after studying with that useless disciple Hiruzen Sarutobi for two years and then wandering around the Land of Rain, given the current situation in the Land of Rain, it would be easy for him to feel despair about the world. At that time, activating the power of the Rinnegan and forming a terrorist organization would be a logical thing to do.

When the time comes, it will be easier to fool his own spokesperson. Then, the two of them can join forces to seize the opportunity to collect the nine tailed beasts when Konoha is at its weakest. Then, they can have their spokesperson fool Nagato into reviving them and ruling the world again. At that time, they will be able to kill gods and Buddhas without hindrance.

No! First, kill that little bastard, Golden Lion, his die-hard fan!

Although I was very annoyed, that little bastard was indeed very strong, especially his defense, which even his complete Susanoo couldn't cut through and that his calamity-level fire jutsu couldn't burn him to death. It was much stronger than the Yotsuki clan's lightning chakra mode.

Even before he reached the complete Susanoo form during the chaotic war, he had already annihilated countless members of the Yotsuki clan. Therefore, his feelings about it were deeper than anyone else's. That little brat, even if he were in his era, would be qualified to compete with him and Hashirama. Damn it, are the ancestral graves of the Miyazaki clan emitting auspicious smoke? Their descendants have produced such a freak. (▼へ▼メ)

That little bastard will definitely be a destabilizing factor in the future. Whether it's because he beat me up before and shortened my lifespan by a few years, or because his plan can be implemented smoothly, that little bastard must be eliminated no matter what.

As it turned out, this good-for-nothing's development was completely different from what he had expected. He actually obediently followed behind the two little good-for-nothings and became their third brother.

I gave you this awesome Rinnegan so you could be the one leading the charge!

That wasn't all; what infuriated Madara the most, almost causing him to have a stroke like Hiruzen Sarutobi, was that although their Akatsuki organization was also an illegal organization, it wasn't the terrifying organization he imagined, filled with despair for the world and aiming to destroy it. Instead, it was a charity children's foundation that constantly promoted love and peace, which really got Madara going crazy.

Just when it seemed that the Uchiha had finally found a satisfactory candidate, one whose heart was full of love, and that if he could seize the opportunity in a few years to bring that brat over for the handover of ownership, he could finally settle down and go back to his old ways to compete with Hashirama and wait for a response, Nagato's side has turned into this mess.

"Lord Madara, that brat Yahiko is too optimistic by nature, and he has too much influence on Nagato. Having him around is not a good thing for us."

The black-clad henchman waited quietly until Madara finished his outburst before speaking to him.

Now, Madara is truly hanging on by a thread, unable to withstand any major shocks. If one day he experiences too much trauma and dies, who knows how many years it will be before his two nephews are reincarnated? He has already waited for over a thousand years, and in all that time, no one understands better than him how much suffering comes with living a long life...

"...Isn't that good-for-nothing Danzo kidnapping children everywhere? Let's lure him to the Land of Rain and have them meet. After all, Danzo is Tobirama Senju's disciple, and he's quite adept at scheming and plotting."

Madara's intelligence has returned. He can't interfere with the kids who have a significant impact on Nagato. Nagato is a crucial part of his plan. He needs Nagato to turn to the dark side, but he can't let Nagato have any wild thoughts to avoid future accidents. So this time, he needs to use someone else to do the dirty work. Although Shimura Danzo is a piece of trash and not very strong, he is still good at plotting and using tricks.

As long as he creates some conflict for them, and preferably gives that good-for-nothing Danzo a good beating, he believes the three kids are no match for that cunning old fox Danzo.

"Lord Ban is wise..."

The black-clad henchman offered a rare, albeit small, compliment. While Madara appears terrifying and has a short temper, he's been clinging to life for years and is like a child who needs to be coaxed. Keeping him happy might allow him to survive a few more years...

.....

"I am very satisfied with your positive work attitude. The odd jobs that were originally scheduled to be completed in a month have been finished in half a month, which makes me very happy. Today is the last day of odd jobs, so we will go to pick up the first task outside the village tomorrow. I hope you will continue to maintain and carry forward this positive work attitude..."

In Sunagakure, within the Miyamoto clan, Masato, while drinking juice, was giving an important speech to three brats against his conscience.

After spending half a month wallowing in the Miyamoto clan with her three kids, today was the last day she could afford to be so carefree. For the past two weeks, aside from the first day when she discreetly arranged for five of her precious grandsons to do chores at her house, Chiyo shamelessly assigned seven or eight chores a day to her beloved grandsons. Every time Sasori's father came home and saw his son leisurely living like a carefree genin, he would look up at the sky and weep. How could the difference between his precious son and his precious grandson be so vast...?

"Yay! Scorpion, we can finally leave the village!!"

"Let go...let me go...uh..."

As soon as Masato finished speaking, Karin's mother got so excited that she ignored Sasori's struggles and gave him a bear hug. Her growing body almost suffocated Sasori.

As Jinchuriki of Tailed Beasts, they can roam freely in the village, but as the village's core threat, they are destined to rarely leave the village for their entire lives. Unless they are in a situation like Iwagakure where there is a talent shortage, they can occasionally come out to move around. Even the perfect Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure is not allowed to leave the village at will unless it is a time of war. Shiki of Sunagakure is a well-known Tailed Beast merchant. Although they have cooperated with Shiki twice, that guy has no bottom line. If their own Jinchuriki goes out to have fun, there is no guarantee that he will not be tempted.

As for Sunagakure, forget about it. With the legendary ninja Shinto in charge, they wouldn't allow a Jinchuriki to fight, even during wartime, and would have to be extremely vigilant. The Second Kazekage during World War I is a prime example...

624. Future Karin's mom finally got to eat handsome scorpion!

Now I can go out, and with her beautiful, cute little scorpion... It would be even better if there weren't two big third wheels...

"...That's enough."

Having unknowingly consumed several tons of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), Zhen Dou realized that pairing this girl with the handsome Scorpion was a complete mistake.

Meanwhile, Little Mada, who was far older than his age and not at all handsome, was clenching his fists tightly to express his excitement. Compared to others, he did not have a happy childhood. Under the pressure of the high expectations placed on him by two generations, he showed a maturity far beyond his years. But after all, he was still just an eleven or twelve-year-old child. From birth to now, he was even more pitiful than Karin's future mother, who was a Jinchūriki. For more than ten years, he had rarely been to places more than 300 meters away from his home. His heart was full of curiosity about the outside world. It was normal for him to be excited at the thought that he could leave the village and see the outside world tomorrow.

......

"Bang bang bang!"

"Lord Masato, wake up! We're about to set off!"

The next day, before dawn, a soprano voice followed by banging on the door echoed in all directions. Karin's mother, dragging the handsome Sasori, excitedly came to the door of Masato's house and started banging on it.

This time, the handsome guy, forcibly dragged out of bed by Karin's mother, didn't struggle. Instead, he watched with a smug look. He knew that the middle-aged jerk inside loved to sleep in, and being woken up before dawn must have made him very unhappy. Anyway, he was secretly pleased that the middle-aged jerk was unhappy...

"Girl, are you too excited? It's not even five o'clock yet. Go find a room and use this excess energy on handsome Scorpion. He's eleven years old now, he's old enough to be used. We'll talk about it again at ten o'clock..."

"boom!"

Masato, still half-asleep, opened the door and saw Karin's mother looking radiant and Sasori looking gloating. After saying this, he quickly closed the door and went back to bed.

"Hey, what are you doing... Let go of me... You bastard..."

From the house came the distant, indignant roar of Handsome Scorpion. Despite possessing a ten-pack, he was still just a mortal before the Uzumaki clan, empowered by the Seven-Tailed Beetle...

"Sigh... I hope no one gets killed..."

Chiyo emerged from the shadows, watching her beloved grandson being transformed into a red-haired female demon and depart. She shook her head and sighed, but her expectant eyes and expression betrayed her.

.......

"Ah!! This mission is to safely transport the ninja tools that the village ordered from the Land of Iron back from there. Because the journey is long and we have to pass through several countries, so... Nephew, are you alright? If you're too tired, we can rest for another day and set off tomorrow... Sigh! Young people should be more disciplined!"

At the entrance to the mission room, Masato, yawning, held a mission scroll and explained it as he read. Halfway through, he noticed that Sasori was floating on his feet, pale-faced, and in extremely poor condition, looking like he was about to collapse. In contrast, Karin's mother, Mirai, was radiant, standing behind Sasori like a submissive wife, her eyes filled with even more infatuation as she looked at him. It was clear that after years of hardship, this morning, Karin's mother had finally succeeded in devouring Sasori…

However, the genes of the Uzumaki clan are truly powerful. Although Sasori's physique has not yet reached the limits of human strength, under his years of loving guidance, especially in terms of endurance, it is definitely over 95. Yet, he still can't beat Karin's mother in the future. This shows just how incredibly powerful the genes of the Uzumaki clan are.

"You...you bastard...(▼皿▼#)"

Looking at the hypocritical face of this bastard middle-aged man, Handsome Scorpion's anger instantly surged. He weakly clenched his fists but couldn't lash out. He was walking lightly and couldn't even swing a senbon. Recalling what happened a few hours ago, it was simply terrifying!

However, for some reason, a strange feeling arose in my heart, a feeling I had never experienced before.

It smells a bit good... but it's all this bastard's fault! (▼皿▼#)

“…”

Little Mada glanced at the trembling handsome Scorpion beside him with surprise. Scorpion was indeed behaving strangely today. After all, this was their village's next top courtesan after Master Zhendou. If nothing unexpected happened, Little Mada would be his future captain of guards. He had visited the Gong Lie clan's residence many times with his father since childhood. Scorpion struck him as aloof, but also reliable—at least more reliable than the eccentric Master Zhendou…

However, from the moment they gathered today, Scorpion's condition gave him a bad feeling, like...like his father every morning when he returned from a mission in the Red Bronze Zone—his legs were unsteady, his face was pale, and his mental state was very poor...

Could it be that Scorpion is already capable of carrying out missions on his own?

Si Guoyi! He truly is the village's super genius...

"Shinto-sama is so annoying....!"

Hearing Masato's teasing, Karin's mother, who was standing behind the handsome Sasori, blushed deeply and hid behind Sasori like a shy little wife, occasionally wiping away her drool.

"..."

The seven giant beetles inside her belly rolled their eyes back; this girl got the better deal and was still acting innocent...

"Alright, alright, it's almost afternoon, let's set off. Little Mada, carry your nephew on your back and let him rest. It's so good to be young..."

Ignoring the murderous glare from Handsome Scorpion, Zhen Dou finished speaking to Little Motor and turned to walk towards the village entrance.

Handsome Scorpion: When you get old, I'll sell you to the Bronx... (「▼皿▼)
