Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"Ahem, here's the situation. Rasa was taken in as a disciple by the Third Hokage from a young age, and their bond was deep, like that of father and son. The Third Hokage died under mysterious circumstances, and as his disciple, Rasa naturally had to investigate the truth. In the two years since the war began, the village's investigation has never stopped, but so far, they haven't found anything. Lady Chiyo has also gone out and searched all over the world, but to no avail. Currently, the village is in a period of vigorous development, but as the Kazekage, Rasa's mind is clearly not on this. Even many of the village's high-ranking officials are in the same boat, making it difficult for everyone to work together. Ebizo is also getting old, and his energy is limited. According to the legal retirement age, he should have retired ten years ago, but Rasa and several other high-ranking officials are obsessed with finding out the truth about the Third Hokage. Isn't this hindering the village's rapid development? As the saying goes, if you fall behind even once, you'll fall behind every step of the way. Iwagakure is said to have already started attracting investment a few days ago. What if we end up not even as good as the poor Iwagakure? That would be truly shameful!"

"In order not to affect the development of the village, Jie and I came up with a plan: to fabricate the truth about three generations of disappearances #￥%……#"

"What do you think, Elder Chief?"

As Masato spoke, he recounted the entire story of Sasori's father's plan and the tragic love story between Sunagawa and the former daimyo's wife. Although it was unclear whether the tragic love story was fabricated by Sasori's father or was true, it moved Baidi Meichuan to tears. As she listened to the story, tears streamed down her face, mingling with her nose, which disgusted Masato.

"I never imagined... I never imagined that the Third Hokage had such a moving and inspiring story! No wonder I said the Third Hokage had remained single for so many years. Rest assured, although we don't get along, for the sake of the village and for the Third Hokage's legacy, I agree to be your witness..."

Mei Chuanbai cried so hard that tears kept streaming down her face as she spoke.

"Phew... The old clan chief is clear about right and wrong. Since he has agreed, I'll go and make the preparations. After the village funeral tomorrow, we'll send someone to invite him to Fengying Tower to serve as a witness..."

Seeing that Bai Di had agreed, Masato breathed a sigh of relief. It hadn't been easy!

It's really not easy to fool this old guy!

Fortunately, the love story that Handsome Scorpion's father told was well-crafted, moving the old man to tears.

.......

On the third day, under the leadership of the newly appointed Luo Sha, the village held a grand funeral for the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the war and sent their remains to the cemetery.

Ebizo was getting old, and although his original successor had become the head of the family, no suitable candidate had been found yet. However, Ebizo still felt that he should retire, so after the war ended, he gradually delegated power to Rasa and stepped down from the front lines.

Because Rasa earned two MVPs on the battlefield, he gained a lot of fame, which was better than in the original story. Although he could not wield all the power like Sunagawa, at least the Kazekage enjoyed the power he deserved after Ebizo relinquished power.

Right after the funeral, Mei Chuan Baidi, an old man who had been bedridden for decades, appeared at Fengying Tower and recounted Sunagawa's cause of death and his tragic love story to the public. He also added the fabricated love letters between Sunagawa and the former daimyo's wife, which were forged by the father of the handsome Scorpion. Whether they believed that Sunagawa had died for love or not, after hearing Sunagawa's love story, they were all deeply moved and cried until their eyes were swollen. Even Luo Sha wiped away her tears.

He had followed his teacher for over a decade and had never known that his teacher had such a poignant and moving story. Although the story was tragic, it was also deeply touching. He too had a loved one, so he completely understood his teacher's feelings of losing a loved one. From this perspective, it's not impossible that his teacher, in a moment of despair, might have contemplated suicide, choosing death over life...

Seeing everyone's reactions, Masato was amazed by the incredible talent of Sasori's father, and he and Sasori's father secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This prelude for Sasori's future was definitely going well!

738. Hiruzen Sarutobi's shamelessness reaches new heights.

While Shinto and Sasori's father were setting the stage for Sasori's arrival, the war between Kirigakure and Konoha was nearing its end after Minato Namikaze and White Fang's reinforcements arrived at the Kirigakure battlefield. The war had already reached this point, with Kirigakure having committed almost all of its strength. It seemed like they could push into the Land of Fire in one fell swoop, but Konoha's strongest genin unleashed a burst of power, kicking their Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist off course, forcing them to retreat back to the west coast. Now that Iwagakure and Sunagakure had withdrawn from the battlefield, and the "Yellow Flash" and White Fang had come to their aid, their chances of winning were almost nonexistent.

However, having fought to this point, withdrawing from the battle was no easy task. This was a matter of face for the various clans of the Land of Water. So, when the leader of the Hozuki clan, the leader of the Hidden Mist Village, learned that "Yellow Flash" and White Fang had arrived, he didn't know what the Mizukage was thinking. He didn't order them to withdraw, but they couldn't either. Even though they knew the opponent was a Great Dragon, and their level wasn't high enough, they still had to grit their teeth and fight.

With the addition of Minato Namikaze and Sakumo Hatake, two agile double-wielders, Jiraiya's pressure vanished instantly. He easily took on the Hozuki clan leader in a 1v1 duel, bringing him to near-death in just a few rounds. Minato and Sakumo were even more formidable; unlike their struggles against Jinchuriki and Shiki, who were inherently countered by the tanky, high-damage berserker, Minato and Sakumo were simply outmatched. Currently, Kirigakure lacked such figures. Sakumo... With his ancestral short blade, White Fang charged into the enemy ranks, slicing through them with incredible speed and agility. His ability to conduct electricity through water made him even more formidable than the Uchiha clan, capable of taking on five opponents at once. Several leaders of the Mizuki clan were overwhelmed from the start, unable to withstand White Fang's skillful maneuvers. They were ultimately defeated by Minato Namikaze's unsportsmanlike use of Rasengan. Meanwhile, the leader of the Kaguya clan was killed by Fugaku Uchiha. With their leader weakened and the Kirigakure forces leaderless, their morale plummeted, and they were completely driven back to the sea by Konoha.

Anyone familiar with Hiruzen Sarutobi's character can see that White Fang's actions were clearly influenced by Hiruzen's suggestion to shamelessly let Minato Namikaze rise to power.

Minato Namikaze has already dominated the Iwagakure and Sunagakure maps, and now with the White Fang of Konoha's recent killing spree, Onoki, Ebizo, and the others, while disgusted by Hiruzen Sarutobi's shameless behavior, are helpless. Especially after Minato's name has once again dominated the headlines, Chiyo and Ebizo have been camping outside Shinto's room every day, trying to get him to recall if he made any mistakes in Konoha more than twenty years ago. Although Konoha has officially certified it and stamped it with their seal, the group clearly doesn't believe it. Shinto is a golden-haired man, a rare find in the Miyamoto clan, and golden-haired men are also quite rare in Konoha. Plus, they look so alike, and both are incredibly talented individuals. They simply can't believe there's no connection between them.

If Shinto hadn't shamelessly guaranteed, by pointing to the lantern, that his virginity was still intact, Chiyo would almost have forced him to sign Minato Namikaze back to the family!

Being the leader of Konoha is good, but nothing compares to being the heir of the Miyako clan...

........

The Mist Ninja have been driven back to the sea, suffering heavy casualties and no longer able to fight, retreating back to their village. Even though the Mizukage has not announced his withdrawal, the end of the Mist Ninja battlefield is an undeniable fact. After three world wars, only the Cloud Ninja remains, stationed at the front line and confronting Orochimaru without making any move.

Just when everyone thought that the Cloud Village should be leaving the scene soon, Hiruzen Sarutobi once again showed his shamelessness by recalling Orochimaru, the commander of Konoha on the Cloud Village battlefield, and replacing him with his perfect grand-disciple. Since he was going to farm anyway, and he had already farmed three maps, one more wouldn't make a difference.

I don't know what others think, but when Rasa saw Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions, his eyes turned green with envy.

The difference between people is just that huge. He used his grandfather to gain fame in order to cling to Masato's coattails and get two MVPs, but this Minato Namikaze is just farming maps, and he's farming an entire map. Hiruzen Sarutobi is so shameless. I bet if he were still alive, he wouldn't be this shameless.

Well... if his teacher were still alive, it seems like he wouldn't be involved anymore...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions redefined the ninja world's understanding of shamelessness, but they also angered the Fourth Raikage, who was plotting revenge for his father.

Originally, he planned to keep those underlings on the front lines to divert attention, and then leave after he avenged his father. What was more important than avenging his father than war? But Hiruzen Sarutobi was clearly using Kumogakure as experience points. Didn't the Fourth Raikage have any dignity?

So, the Fourth Raikage abandoned his revenge and, along with his sworn brother, Little Sunglasses, went to the front lines and unleashed a furious barrage of attacks on Konoha.

After clearing three maps, Minato Namikaze was no longer the novice he once was. He had accumulated all the experience he needed and was able to easily take on the Fourth Raikage, known as the fastest man in the ninja world, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki disguised as a Tailed Beast, using the Flying Thunder God Technique. He even earned several MVPs. In the end, after failing to defeat his opponent in several two-on-one battles, the Fourth Raikage had no choice but to announce the withdrawal of Kumogakure. However, he probably already harbored hatred for Konoha and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi shamelessly promoted Minato Namikaze to the top, disrupting his plans and causing the deaths of so many of his underlings—all of whom were the legacy his father had cultivated and left him.

With the Fourth Raikage announcing his retirement, the three-war series, which had lasted for two years, finally came to an end.

Konoha once again achieved a four-way victory, ultimately winning the war. However, Konoha suffered the most heavy losses, even more so than during World War II.

This is a true one against four. Although it was also a one against four during World War II, the Land of Rain was really just a sham compared to Kirigakure. Look at Kirigakure's strength and the Mizukage's courage; they are the true Five Great Shinobi Villages. Konoha's losses on the four battlefields were such that even Mitokado Homura, the logistics minister of Konoha and a literary figure who inherited the cultural legacy of Senju, couldn't calculate it even after days and nights of counting with his abacus.

However, all of that was Mitokado Homura's business. When Kumogakure announced his departure, Sarutobi Hiruzen was happy. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, his perfect grand-disciple had perfectly completed the four-map clear mission. In addition, he kept promoting his perfect grand-disciple in the village. His good buddy, who was always thinking about the Hokage, was still in bed and probably wouldn't cause any more trouble.

This is a very solid move!

739 Brother Oozu: Luckily, I still feel better.

"Hey! Kid, you're awake?"

In an underground city somewhere in the ninja world, Obito groggily opened his eyes and heard a flippant, flamboyant voice.

Am I dead? Is this the underworld?

Obito looked around in confusion. The light was dim, and apart from a naked white freak, there were stones everywhere and nothing else.

“Kid, this isn’t the underworld. Your body was crushed by a boulder, and it was Lord Madara who saved you.”

"The naked white freak said."

"Am I not dead yet? But... what's wrong with my body?"

Of course, it would be great if he could survive; his world was still waiting for him. When Obito heard this, he was so excited that he wanted to jump up, but he found that his body was as weak as a mollusk and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

"Your lower body is rotten. This is the body of your clone. If we don't replace it for you, you'll really die."

The white freak said.

"What?! My body's been changed? That means... Phew, thank goodness, I can still feel it..."

When Obito heard this, he almost vomited blood. He was actually using someone else's body. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle. He quickly reached for the point where his legs crossed with his left hand to feel for it. Fortunately, the familiar sense of security he felt made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the size is much smaller, it feels right.

If I were to switch bodies and lose all feeling, I might as well just give up. Am I really going to have to communicate with his world, Lin, in spirit from now on...?

"What are you doing? How could you possibly feel anything?"

The white freak looked at Obito, who was relieved, with a bewildered expression. This kid is really weird, isn't he? His first reaction after switching bodies is to find the feeling... What kind of feeling could he possibly have?

"...This is how that man vents his emotions, didn't you know?"

Obito was dumbfounded when he saw the white freak. How naive must someone be to not understand this?

"Rant? What's the point of venting? Is that all?"

The white freak also copied Obito's movements from before, going back and forth... Hmm, it seems quite comfortable.

"Uh... this is a traditional man's craft. You'll get to know it slowly. By the way, where is this?"

Obito's educational level is limited. He spent six years of compulsory education just flirting with girls, so he doesn't know how to explain such advanced topics. He was self-taught back then.

"This is Lord Madara's residence. Now that you're awake, come with me to see Lord Madara. He's been waiting for you for a long time!"

The white freak didn't stop what he was doing, awkwardly trying to get a feel for things as he spoke.

"Really? I also want to thank him for saving my life, but... could you stop for a moment? You can practice this move by yourself usually..."

Looking helplessly at the white freak still trying to get into character, Obito said, "You know what, this guy may be a bit small, but his stamina is much better than mine..."

"But it's quite comfortable, why do we need to stop?"

The white freak asked curiously.

“…”

Obito looked up at the sky speechlessly. Where the hell was he? And who was this freak? How could he... Holy crap! Don't use your hands that are trying to find your way to help me!

The two entered a dark room. The first thing that caught Obito's eye was an old man sitting in the middle who looked like he was about to die at any moment. The old man had many black tubes inserted into his back, which were connected to a huge object behind him. Beside him was a black monster that looked just like the white monster.

Although the old man was very old, Brother Obito could feel the boundless domineering aura that surpassed all living beings in his eyes.

He recognized that look; it was something common in the Uchiha clan. But for some reason, the look in those clansmen's eyes felt arrogant to him, while it seemed perfectly reasonable to him when it came to this old man!

"Grandpa, are you Lord Madara? Thank you for saving my life!"

As a model young man of the new era in Konoha who aspires to become Hokage, Obito is very polite to everyone except when he meets his best friend and love rival and starts arguing for no reason. He even bowed ninety degrees to the imposing old man in the middle.

He owes a debt of gratitude to this domineering old man who saved his love with Lin!

"Hehe, what a polite child... White Zetsu, what are you doing?"

As Madara looked at Obito bowing at a ninety-degree angle, he grew happier and happier. The person he had been waiting for for so many years had finally arrived.

However, seeing the underling supporting Obito with one hand while constantly trying to find his footing with the other, Madara frowned. Although he didn't know what the underling was doing, he knew that when the boss was speaking, the underling should stand at attention. But this guy's hands were moving around randomly, which Madara felt was disrespectful.

"Oh! Lord Madara, Obito said this is that man's traditional skill, a way to release emotions, and it feels quite good. Lord Madara, you should try it too..."

White Zetsu just couldn't stop, occasionally letting out a comfortable groan as he spoke.

"...Is that so?"

The black-clad henchman next to him looked at White Zetsu's expression and seemed quite comfortable, so he imitated White Zetsu's actions and began to operate accordingly.

If we're talking about venting emotions, he's been holding it in for over a thousand years, so he definitely deserves to vent...

...

Obito watched as the black freak next to the domineering old man imitated the white freak's movements, and he was both terrified and scared. What the hell was this place? And who the hell were these people? The black and white freaks were one thing, they didn't look human at all, but how come the domineering old man didn't know how to do this pose? Did this domineering old man never vent his anger?

For a moment, Brother Daitu felt uneasy...

"Hmph! Don't talk about such useless things."

Although Grandpa Ban didn't know what was going on, his way of venting was always either torturing others or being tortured.

"Grandpa, have you always lived here? Where are your family?"

Brother Obito felt that this indecent topic could not be continued, so he forcibly changed the subject.

"Haha, kid, if I told you you're my family, my child, would you believe me?"

Madara looked at Obito with a smile. He had waited for decades and finally got to see him. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him and the more satisfied he became.

"Grandpa, please don't be joking. My father died before I was born, and I only have a grandma. But you look about the same age as my grandma. Could it be... you... you are my long-lost grandpa? (⊙▽⊙)"

Brother Obito stared in shock at this legendary grandfather!

(⊙o⊙）！！
