Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"Hiss...! If he can't find it, we'll help him find it. White Zetsu, use your clone to help them investigate. We're going to Kirigakure now."

Upon hearing that Sasori, the nephew of the Golden Lion, had killed the Kage of his own village, even Obito, who had already turned to the dark side, couldn't help but gasp.

That's a werewolf!

Finally, clenching his fists tightly, he walked towards the door.

His world, Rin, died because of the Hidden Mist.

Thinking of this, Obito's kaleidoscope began to flash...

...

In Sunagakure, within the Miyamoto clan compound, Shinto lazily lounged on an old chair in front of Sasori's house, humming a tuneless melody while enjoying the scorching sun and an iced drink, a picture of serene contentment.

After the end of the Third World War, he was basically considered an outsider in the village. After Rasa returned, he was completing the handover of power with Ebizo, and the village gradually got back on track. People formed teams to do quests and mentored newcomers. In particular, the quests that had been piling up during the two years of war made everyone very busy.

Since the current leader is already the fourth generation, he can be considered a veteran of three reigns. His seniority and status are gradually developing in the direction that Chiyo was before her retirement. In the past, when Sunagawa was online, if there was a situation that his subordinates couldn't handle, they would send him, the core leader, to take the lead. After all, Sunagawa's seniority was higher than his. Although he had also worked with Shamon, Sunagawa had obviously worked with Shamon for longer, and he was working under Sunagawa when he first started out.

Regardless of seniority or age, the village chief of Sunagawa could still command him.

But it was different with Rasa. When he debuted, Rasa's father was still in school. He was more senior and had a higher status than Rasa's father. So after Rasa returned from Konoha, he didn't bother him. That's the advantage of having a high seniority. How many secretaries in the Jonin class still had to clock in for him every day?

The only task now is to guard outside Sasori's house to prevent him from running away before he successfully conceives. After Sasori succeeds, he can then go and cultivate his relationship with Tsunade.

"Teacher, Lord Kazekage requests your presence."

Just as Masato was enjoying a peaceful moment, his eldest disciple, Ms. Yekura, appeared beside him, wearing a backless dress and an ANBU mask.

Miss Yekura has been much more successful than "Conan's dad" these past few years. Although she works in the dark place of the Anbu, thanks to Ebizo's care and the fact that she is not just a pretty face, her Scorch Release is considered a relatively ordinary bloodline limit by Shinto. Yekura is also just an ordinary genius in his eyes. However, it depends on who you compare her to. Compared to Madara's "small" Fire Release, her Scorch Release is definitely not as good as Sasori's.

But among a group of ordinary people, he was so dazzling and so bright.

Moreover, due to the nature of the work of the Anbu, which involves constant fighting, Yekura's skills have improved rapidly, and he is now the captain of the Anbu operations team.

Today happens to be his shift at Fengyinglou.

"I know, I know. I'm not trying to be mean, but Kudo's a father now, and you're not getting any younger. You can't just stay in the Anbu forever. There's no future in staying in the Anbu for too long. I'll talk to Rasa later and ask him to transfer you out to work as a white-collar worker in the Jonin class."

Shinto glanced at his disciple lazily. Although she had done quite well in the Anbu these past few years, and her strength had risen rapidly to the level of an elite Jonin and then a squad leader, she had almost reached her limit. Not to mention that because she was a woman and her family didn't have any powerful secret techniques, her bloodline limit, while rare, wasn't strong enough. This meant that even if she stayed in the Anbu for more than ten years, she would never be able to become the Anbu Chief. Because of the experience of the Anbu Chief being defeated by the twelve-year-old White Fang, the current Anbu Chief required at least two Red Sticks. This disciple's ceiling wasn't that high; at most, she would only have one Red Stick. There was no point in continuing to stay in the Anbu. Even with his protection, she would never become the Anbu Chief.

And all she does every day is kill people, kill people. This once lovely girl has become quite gloomy. At this rate, even a blooming rose will turn into a withered flower in the sunset. He was originally planning to set her up with handsome Sasori; after all, there's no such thing as monogamy in Sunagakure. It would be a disservice to Sasori's damn pretty face if he didn't find him a few more women to continue the clan's lineage. Besides, they're both a few years younger than each other—it's said that marrying a woman three years older brings good fortune…

However, during those years, handsome Sasori was always fighting with "Conan's dad". Despite spending so much time together, Yekura and handsome Sasori just didn't click. It was one thing for handsome Sasori to be aloof and have a weak romantic sense, always being passive, but Yekura, after a brief moment of stunned silence upon first meeting Sasori, just couldn't click with him.

Now, needless to say, even a single Uzumaki clan girl and handsome scorpion couldn't handle it, let alone two. And Ye Cang, after two years in the Anbu, is indeed the most beautiful girl in the Anbu, but her murderous aura and cold personality make her unapproachable.

Ye Cang's father couldn't persuade his daughter on his own, so he had to come to him for help. He'd been running to her every three days lately, and he was getting embarrassed by all the gifts he received. He had originally planned to go see the girl after he finished dealing with Handsome Scorpion, but since he happened to run into her now, he decided to give her some advice.

755. The Roots of Konoha are not doing their job!

"Teacher, no need. I feel fine now, I've gotten used to it."

Wearing a mask, Yekura shook her head. Of course, she knew that continuing to work in the Anbu wouldn't lead to much of a future. However, she never aspired to become a scoundrel like the Anbu chief. It was just that after so many years in the Anbu, she had become accustomed to the Anbu's lifestyle. Although life in the Anbu was somewhat dark, being able to protect the village made it meaningful.

The kind of life she would have as a white-collar worker in the ninja class wasn't for her.

"You're a girl, how can you stay in the Anbu forever? Look at you, your murderous aura is even stronger than mine. It will have a psychological impact in the long run. No need to say anything more, I'll tell Rosa later that if she really doesn't want to go to the ninja class, she should go teach genin and calm down."

After speaking, Masato disappeared without giving her a chance to refute.

......

"What happened? The war is over, why do you still look so gloomy?"

Stepping into the Kazekage's office, besides Rasa, Ebizo was also there. Seeing the two of them frowning, Masato, half-lying on the sofa, asked.

"Sigh... The One-Tail has been out for several years now. Although it hasn't gone berserk, it's still an uncertain factor for the village. So we plan to seal it in a Jinchuriki. You know a lot about Tailed Beasts, so I'll ask you if you have any suitable candidates."

Ebizo sighed helplessly. The topic of Jinchuriki always bothered him. Back when Bunpuku was still alive, he and Sunagawa had been searching for a suitable candidate for the next One-Tail Jinchuriki. However, after many years, they still couldn't find a suitable one. After all, the One-Tail's temperament was just too torturous. Since Bunpuku's death, they sealed the One-Tail in an altar and, following Shinto's method, assigned two people to coax it like a baby every day, talking to it and chatting with it all the time. They mainly talked to it, and if no one talked to it, it would immediately go berserk. This was torture for the Jonin who had to coax it all the time.

Only a monk like Fuku, who doesn't mind being long-winded, can tolerate a tailed beast with this kind of personality. Who else has that kind of patience?

They discovered that although this One-Tail was not as powerful as the Seven-Tail, its personality was much more difficult to deal with. The Seven-Tail only went berserk for a moment when it was sealed, but it was beaten up by Shindou and then behaved itself. However, this One-Tail had a much worse personality!

"This... is indeed quite difficult. Aunt Chiyo has already told you its story, right? It's the same beast as the Nine-Tails, but its fate is different, so its personality is extremely extreme. It's impossible to make it like the Seven-Tails, that coward, by force. This fat cat has a congenital defect; its brain isn't very developed. It's easy to coax and isn't as arrogant as the Nine-Tails, but it's still the most mischievous of the tailed beasts. This is quite a test of the Jinchuriki's temperament. If it's not good, it's easy to be influenced by this fat cat. There's no such talent in the village right now. Let's wait a couple more years and see. Anyway, things are fine now. Even if it goes berserk, I'm not here, but there's still that girl Shuri. It's just a little fat cat; it won't amount to anything."

Masato thought for a moment. Rasa had only been married for a short time, and his eldest daughter was probably just coming of age. Gaara, the fat cat's chosen one, was Rasa's youngest son, and it would be at least two years before that.

Perhaps Karin's mother and Sasori's child will have the Uzumaki clan's genes and be more suitable to be a Jinchūriki. But let's just think about it. His family already has a Jinchūriki. It's impossible for the child to become a Jinchūriki, especially since it's the weakest One-Tail. If he really wanted one, wouldn't it be better to bring back the Four-Tail, Five-Tail, and Six-Tail?

Especially the Five-Tails, Onoki couldn't keep an eye on that Jinchuriki at all. However, considering that the Akatsuki would be capturing the Tailed Beasts in the future, he decided to let it go. Miss Kaguya had to be brought out eventually. If she didn't come out, and Black Zetsu stayed hidden for another five hundred years, he wouldn't be able to wait until the end. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to transmigrators?

Someone who transmigrated into the Naruto world and never even saw the ending—I'm not afraid of being laughed at if I told anyone.

Therefore, the tailed beast must be given to the Akatsuki or Obito. Karin's mother is the Seven-Tails, so even if she is captured and left with only one tail, with the Uzumaki clan's strong vitality, she will have no problem surviving.

However, things are a bit tricky for Gaara. The fat cat is the most damn cunning. Unless it cuts off its own tail to save Gaara, Chiyo might use a forbidden technique to sacrifice herself to revive Gaara. Of course, he can't let that happen. Although Chiyo is old, he was raised by her since he was a child. He has to let Chiyo die a natural death.

So Gaara definitely can't die. The only way is for Gaara to appease the fat cat. But the fat cat doesn't seem to have the brains, or rather, apart from the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, the other tailed beasts aren't very smart. The Eight-Tails was the one who cut off one tail to save the Jinchuriki's life. Before that, the Seven-Tails didn't know how to do that at all. So, when he has time, he has to go and teach the Seven-Tails a lesson or have Karin's mother read the Seven-Tails some books. He's lived for hundreds of years and is still illiterate. He just spews common words like "bastard" and "deserve" at people. He's so shameless.

"Then we can only wait another two years, but that's all we can do in the end. By the way, news came from Konoha that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, has stepped down, and Minato Namikaze has become the Fourth Hokage."

After Ebizo nodded, he and Rasa looked at him strangely.

To be honest, even though this guy guaranteed that his virginity was still intact, they just wouldn't believe it. Minato Namikaze looked so damn similar to him when he was young. Overlaying photos of the two from the same period was practically a seamless match. And he just happened to be a super genius. And coincidentally, he was always running to Konoha during those years. What a coincidence!

If it weren't for the fact that this guy's cultural understanding was too abstract and he couldn't come up with any particularly sophisticated plans, they would have suspected that he deliberately left his seed in Konoha's farmland so that his son could become the head of Konoha and he himself could become the mastermind behind the scenes...

"Oh? Minato Namikaze got the position? By the way, what's the deal with that old man Danzo Shimura? Given his obsession with the Hokage position, how could he let Minato Namikaze take over so easily? Wow, impressive... (⊙_⊙)?"

Shinto ignored the two bastards' stares. It was true that Minato Namikaze looked remarkably like him. If it weren't for Sakumo's assurance that he'd been watched 24/7 during his visits to Konoha, preventing him from having any opportunities to act recklessly while drunk, and if all the records of his visits to Konoha over the past 23 years were still available, even he himself would have doubted his loyalty to Tsunade...

756. Handsome Scorpion finally succeeded.

He wasn't surprised that Minato Namikaze had risen to power; what surprised him was how quickly Minato had done so. It didn't seem like Danzo, the friend of villains. Hadn't Danzo been building up his image quite well in Konoha those past few years? He'd even been praising him. Even if what he'd done to Nawaki had left him with a criminal record, just watching Minato rise to power so obediently didn't seem like Danzo's style.

"Shimura Danzo was beaten too badly by the Four-Tails Jinchuriki last time. Although he didn't die, he was seriously injured and probably won't be able to get out of bed for a year or two."

Rasa shook his head with some regret. Every time a war broke out, the development of each village would regress by several years, with Konoha being the most severely affected. After all, it was one against several. However, Konoha's land was rich, and its recovery speed was fast. Even though they had gained a lot of benefits from the Land of Water this time, as long as Konoha was given a few years to develop, it could fully recover. Back in the later stages of the war, Hiruzen Sarutobi shamelessly let Minato Namikaze farm maps, which made many people know that the Fourth Hokage was none other than Minato Namikaze. However, he still hoped that Minato Namikaze would not take the position so quickly. After all, once Minato Namikaze took the position, it would mean that Konoha would enter a period of rapid and stable development, far surpassing the major villages.

Unfortunately, now that the war is over, their hope, Danzo Shimura, was badly beaten by the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and is still in bed. What can they do?

"Old Purple really went all out, but Danzo was too weak, getting beaten up like this by a mere Four-Tails Jinchuriki..."

Upon hearing that Danzo had been beaten so badly, Shinto cursed his teammate, Old Purple, inwardly. Why did he beat Danzo so badly? Didn't he know Danzo was a friend of villains? If there were no war in the future, Konoha's decline would depend entirely on him...

.......

"What you achieve in the future depends entirely on yourself. If you miss home, come back and visit, especially the children. Go with peace of mind... Don't worry about the children's name; I've already thought of one for you. Focus on pursuing your dreams and wish you a bright future..."

In the 49th year of Konoha and the 48th year of Sunagakure, at the narrow pass outside Sunagakure, the old man Shinto waved goodbye to the handsome Sasori with a sense of comfort.

After several months of effort, and with Karin's mother's daily persistent handstands, Sasori finally succeeded in conceiving a baby. After confirming that Karin's mother was indeed pregnant, Chiyo's chrysanthemum has never faded.

The next day, before dawn, Masato discovered that Sasori was preparing to make a ruthless escape again.

However, this time Masato didn't stop him. As the old saying goes, there's no reason to stop a young person from pursuing their dreams. Since they've already succeeded in creating a human, Masato will just see him off. Even if this kid turns himself into a wooden man in the future, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the fourth generation of the Miyazaki clan has already taken shape!

“…”

Although those bastard's words sounded docile, Handsome Scorpion, a true man, never looked back. Recalling his hellish experiences over the past few months, he didn't know why, even though he was already able to leave the village, he didn't feel much excitement. But in order to find that future art, he took firm and powerful steps, walking towards the distance.

His journey is to the stars and the sea...

"You're just going to let your precious grandson go like this?"

Watching the handsome Scorpion's retreating figure, Shinto spoke to Chiyo, who had secretly come from the shadows to deliver his precious grandson.

“Hey! You’re right. We shouldn’t impose our will on him. He’s grown up and has his own ideas… I thought he would give up his ideas after becoming a father, but it seems that’s still impossible.”

Chiyo walked out and sighed helplessly as she watched her beloved grandson's retreating figure.

She originally thought that her beloved grandson would change after having a child, but she didn't expect that her beloved grandson's resolve to pursue Tao would be so firm. She had been overthinking it.

"Super geniuses are always so persistent in what they believe in; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to surpass ordinary people. For someone of his personality, being able to do this is already the biggest change. When he goes out and gets hurt, he'll realize that a warm home and a loving wife are still the best."

Shindou pursed his lips. He thought that a child could change Sasori. That was a bit of an overreaction. In the original work, Sasori became withdrawn because his parents were killed by White Fang. In the end, like Kakuzu who was abandoned by Takigakure and focused on money, he pursued the ultimate art.

Although Handsome Scorpion's parents are still alive, they seem indifferent but haven't closed themselves off; they just don't want to express it. In short, they're just showing off.

Children in the Naruto world, regardless of gender, all love this kind of thing. Although his parents weren't killed and he grew up in a carefree, pampered family, Sasori himself is an ambitious person, much like Orochimaru. The village's rules and regulations only restrict their development. One uses living people to research the art of immortality, and the other also uses the corpses of living people to develop his own toys. You can stop them for a while, but you can't stop them forever.

As for joining the Akatsuki or anything like that, it doesn't really matter. Whether it's the Akatsuki or Obito, they're targeting Konoha, not Sunagakure.

And who knows, maybe he could even team up with Obito in the future regarding matters concerning Konoha...

"Speaking of which, Obito should be using cheat codes by now..."

Masato thought silently...

......

Konoha Village, nestled beneath a forest, surrounded by mountains and water, is a rare and auspicious place where Konoha Root's new headquarters has been officially established.

"Lord Danzo, everything is ready. News of Orochimaru capturing villagers has begun to circulate in the village."

"Hmm, no need to rush. Let's wait until the news spreads throughout the village before making a move."

Inside the new Root headquarters, Danzo sat at the top, looking radiant and showing no signs of injury. He listened to the report from the new leader, the oil-woman Qugen, while looking with satisfaction at the new headquarters that he had painstakingly coaxed from his best friend.

Back then on the battlefield in Iwagakure, I have to say that Old Purple was really ruthless. He thought he was about to die. When he returned to Konoha, the doctor diagnosed that he would need to stay in bed for at least two years to recover. He had already accepted his fate. Two years it is. Anyway, Danzo had gotten used to being injured over the years. As long as he didn't die, he still had a chance.

While he was quietly recovering from his injuries, he received a report from his underlings that his best friend had shamelessly allowed Minato Namikaze to farm maps during the war. He couldn't sit still. His best friend's intentions were too obvious. Wasn't it just like how he promoted Orochimaru during World War II?

That son of a bitch of a buddy actually wants Minato Namikaze to take over?!

757. Even Danzo couldn't target these substandard products.

Knowing that his best friend was going to promote Minato Namikaze to the top, Danzo, who was lying in bed, felt like he had a heart attack!

Thinking back to how he was a few seconds slower than Hiruzen Sarutobi, causing him to miss out on the Hokage position, and recalling all the efforts he had made and the many injuries he had sustained over the years for the Hokage position, Danzo was furious that his best friend was actually going to promote Minato Namikaze to the position!

Damn it, we were supposed to be best friends forever. I knew his ultimate dream was to become Hokage, but I never thought about him. I got tired of being Hokage after decades, and when I passed the position to someone else, I wouldn't pass it on to him. The day Minato Namikaze took over and donned the Hokage robe, seeing the incredibly handsome Minato, the resentment and anger that had been buried in my heart for decades finally erupted. This perfectly stimulated the cells of Hashirama Senju transplanted into my body, and a powerful life force burst forth from my body, continuously repairing my injuries. Overnight, my injuries miraculously healed completely. My back didn't ache, my legs didn't hurt, and I could carry several bags of rice up five flights of stairs without even breaking a sweat. My mind also became exceptionally clear and calm.

What surprised him most was that he had actually awakened the legendary Wood Release.

However, he quickly calmed down and, looking back on his failures over the past few decades, he summarized several reasons.

First, he was too high-profile. Every time Root reached its peak under his leadership, he couldn't help but make a high-profile appearance, wanting to turn the tide, achieve great things, and become Hokage. However, this was precisely what his best friend took advantage of.

Secondly, his best friend has been Hokage for over thirty years, and he has a huge number of supporters. Most importantly, almost all of these people are double-ranked Red Guards: Sakumo Hatake, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and now Minato Namikaze. Each of these people is a double-ranked Red Guard and is one of Konoha's top combat forces. Their importance to Konoha is self-evident.
