Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"Ye Cang... she's a good listener, that's all... we've only met a few times since we were kids, and as for being pretty... she's just average. I've seen plenty of pretty girls during my years in Daimyo Prefecture, so I didn't have any special feelings for her. I just considered her a friend..."

Nawaki recalled, touching his bruised and swollen face.

"So...you don't have a type you like? For example, someone whose heart races when you see them, and who makes you want to protect them?"

Shindou's teeth ached. He had originally planned for this kid to flirt with a girl, get married, and have his own children. Then Tsunade wouldn't be so focused on this younger brother anymore, and his chances would be even greater.

Although Tsunade had mentioned some conditions when she asked him to help during the Nine-Tails' time-lapse, he wasn't the type to take advantage of someone in distress...

He even sold out his own disciple in order to free this kid as soon as possible, but the kid didn't even think about it. That's just so weird.

"Well... no, really. I go in and out of casinos with my older sister all day long, and I only run into the same people. How could I possibly meet any girls I like?"

After a short delay, Rope Tree spread his hands in feigned helplessness and said.

"Never? Not even back in Konoha? You can speak freely, Yuuhisa. Even if it were the daughter of your Fire Country's daimyo, your brother-in-law would still kidnap her..."

When Masato saw Nawaki hesitate for a moment, he knew that the kid must have done it before, but for some reason he said he hadn't.

"I'm going to say this while patting my chest," Masato said.

"I think...maybe I shouldn't. That girl used to be my classmate, but now she's a mother of two...-_-||"

Rope Tree said helplessly, sweating profusely.

"So what? Having given birth proves that the girl is capable of childbearing and has experience. If you really like her, would you care that she's already a mother? Just tell your brother-in-law who that girl is. As long as you two are in love and don't return to Konoha, who will know about that girl's past?"

Masato's eyes darted around, his mind racing as he tried to guess who the girl Nawaki had once liked was.

Of course, it's unlikely that he would be playing a minor role. After all, although Nawaki lacked talent, he spent his childhood hanging out with gambling, drugs, and prostitution, especially with Jiraiya. So he has high standards. If someone isn't famous or has a distinctive personality, Nawaki might not even look at them. And judging from Nawaki's age, there probably weren't many girls with names in Konoha during his generation.

Furthermore, since he was classmates with Minato Namikaze and Shikaku Nara, their generation was automatically eliminated. According to his understanding, Nawaki was two years older than them, which shows how incompetent this kid is. People two years younger than him are already rising through the ranks in Konoha, while this kid is still wasting his time in his own barrier...

But it's not entirely his fault. He was born into the renowned Senju clan, and as the sole legitimate heir, everyone's expectations were incredibly high. It's one thing if he couldn't awaken Wood Release, but he should at least reach the level of his father or Tsunade. And this kid can't even reach that. Back when the Senju elders were alive, they certainly stirred up a lot of hatred, though not as much as Madara, but only a level below. If this kid dared to try and survive alone in the ninja world, he definitely wouldn't last three episodes, and two of those episodes would be flashbacks...

"But that girl's surname is Uchiha. You know the history between our Senju clan and the Uchiha clan. My older sister will definitely kill me if she doesn't..."

Rope Tree was about to speak, but then, with a terrified look on his face, he said...

"Hiss... that girl you mentioned... could she be Fugaku Uchiha's wife? (⊙_⊙)"

She's a classmate of Nawaki, has the surname Uchiha... and is also a mother of two. If he still can't figure out who this girl is, he should go and bang his head against a scale.

Masato gasped and stared at Nawaki in shock.

Shock!

Rope Tree actually likes the second male lead's mother!

No wonder this kid got painted to death.

It wasn't because the position of Hokage was his curse that he died, nor was it because Senju Er-ya was punished for digging up his elder brother's grave.

This kid is just asking for trouble by falling in love with the second male lead and the mother of his youngest son, and he wants to be their biological father!

What the hell is this if not courting death?

Can just anyone be the father of the second male lead and the youngest son?

Especially since you're from the Senju clan, what if the second male lead you produce has some kind of genetic mutation that causes the plot to go completely wrong? How is Kishimoto supposed to draw that?

Kishimoto would be crazy not to kill you off!

But speaking of which, besides being a good mother, what is it about her that makes both Fugaku Uchiha, the leader of the Uchiha clan, and the leader of the Senju clan fall for her at the same time?

The Uchiha clan is known for producing handsome men and beautiful women. As the head of the Uchiha clan, what kind of beauties hasn't Fugaku Uchiha seen? If the second male lead's mother is some kind of super genius as described in other fanfictions, that's just bragging. If she were really a super genius, would she have gotten married and become a housewife so early?

Moreover, ever since Danzo was killed by Shinto, he has been paying special attention to the Uchiha clan. Given the Uchiha's situation in Konoha, if a super genius had emerged, they would have been nurtured long ago. Why would they let her get married? The Uchiha clan has never been ruled by the second male lead's father alone.

809. If all else fails, summon the Thousand-Armed Grandpa.

But if you say that the second male lead's mother doesn't have some personal charm, that would be utterly ridiculous.

Mary Sue halo?

As a girl destined to become the mother of the second male lead, no matter what, she must have some kind of attraction that others don't have, so that she can attract the leader of the Uchiha clan and also the leader of the Senju clan.

"Brother-in-law! How did you know it was Mikoto? ⊙０⊙"

Now it was Nawaki's turn to be shocked. His brother-in-law was from Sunagakure, yet he knew so much about Konoha. He even knew that Mikoto was his classmate. He just mentioned that she was from the Uchiha clan, and Nawaki immediately guessed that she was Mikoto.

Has the Sand Village's espionage work been this thorough?

"Brother! It's already extremely rare for the Uchiha clan to have two children. In the last few decades, only Uchiha Fugaku has had two sons. I even saw those two brats when the Nine-Tails caused trouble last time. Plus, you're my classmate and share the Uchiha surname, so it's even easier to guess. Uchiha Fugaku's wife seems to be about your age. If I couldn't guess this, how could I survive in the ninja world?"

"However... I heard that girl's talent and looks are just average, nothing special, and her personality isn't the type that Konoha likes, right? Don't people in Konoha usually like strong, assertive girls like your older sister? How could you like that girl..."

Shinto just doesn't understand. According to incomplete statistics, 90% of the men in the Naruto world, especially in Konoha, are masochists. They like strong, assertive women, while gentle and virtuous girls are not their type.

The most typical examples are Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, and their idiotic son who ignored a rich heiress and insisted on shamelessly chasing after a commoner girl. Fortunately, he eventually realized his mistake and understood the value of a wealthy woman...

Although Nawaki has grown up and matured a bit, his childhood personality was exactly the same as Minato Namikaze's silly son. Relatively speaking, their personal tastes should also be quite similar. In addition, Konoha has always had a tradition of popular domineering girls.

He simply couldn't understand how Rope Tree could like the gentle girl's mother, the second male lead's mother. This was completely against tradition!

"...My older sister is already badass enough, I couldn't handle another one like her. -_-||"

Rope Tree said speechlessly.

joke.

He's been constantly bullied by his domineering older sister since he was a child. Luckily, the Senju clan gave him strong vitality so he could withstand it. If another one came along, would he even be able to survive?

"That's true... But that might be a bit difficult. It would be fine if it were any other girl, but she's the wife of the Uchiha leader, and her family is incredibly wealthy. Look at your Senju clan, Tsunade has squandered all their wealth. Even if I kidnapped her, it seems you couldn't afford to support her. And most importantly, as you said, your Senju and Uchiha clans have a history of feuds spanning hundreds of years. Your grandfather was injured by Madara Uchiha and died within two years. If your older sister finds out that you like someone from the Uchiha clan, and that you're already a mother of two, I probably can't save you."

Seeing Nawaki's bruised and swollen face, Masato nodded understandingly.

Having lived under Tsunade's violent oppression for so long, this kid probably has a psychological trauma regarding domineering girls. How could he possibly still like domineering girls? If Kushina Uzumaki were still alive, the savior probably wouldn't have liked that pink-haired girl either.

But you really can't tie up the second male lead's mother, can you? Who knows what kind of weirdo would emerge from the combination of the Senju and Uchiha clans? Anyway, the circle eyes are out of the question. Awakening the circle eyes requires the chakra of the Sage of Six Paths' two sons to be combined. He knows that.

Furthermore, actually tying up the second male lead's mother and handing her over to Rope Tree would be incredibly immoral. Even though Golden Lion is shameless and despicable, he still feels some pressure about creating such a human tragedy...

"That's why I didn't tell..."

Rope Tree recalled his older sister's fist and felt depressed.

"But that's all from when you were a kid. You might not like someone now if you liked them then. Think about whether there's anyone else you like. Of course, besides the Uchiha... If all else fails, you'll just have to kill someone. Yekura is pretty good. After all, she has a bloodline limit. Although her talent is a bit less than your older sister's, she's still a solid red stick."

Yekura is clearly not the type that Nawaki likes. Although Yekura is usually quite amiable when she gets along with acquaintances, she is indeed a very opinionated person. However, she is not at all gentle and virtuous. In the past few years, she has killed more people than Conan's father did on the battlefield during World War III.

When he held Karin, he couldn't hide his murderous aura, which scared Karin to tears.

No wonder this kid was so engrossed in telling stories while alone with a man and a woman in a room...

This kid hasn't even gotten a fraction of Ye Cang's heads over the years. If he could sense Ye Cang's intense killing intent, he probably wouldn't dare to even think about that kind of thing.

"Why....!"

Rope Tree sighed helplessly, squatted down, and stared blankly at the ants moving house without saying a word.

"Think about it carefully."

After patting the unfortunate kid on the shoulder, Masato didn't know how to comfort him and turned to leave.

This unlucky kid had to fall for the second male lead's mother of all people. Even with the system protecting him, he wouldn't dare to do something like this, let alone since he doesn't have the system's protection.

He was speechless at those fellow transmigrators. It was one thing to take in women, but they took in any kind of woman, even the mother of the second male lead and the mother of the savior. Did they really think that just by giving Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha two girls, they could create the savior and the second male lead?

They're genetically completely different.

Without matching genes, what good are male genes alone?

Is a savior created solely based on Minato Namikaze's genes still a savior?

Is it possible that the offspring produced solely from Fugaku Uchiha's genes would still be Itachi and the second male lead?

Hmm... the second male lead for Kuku should be fine, after all, he's the son of the Six Paths Elder. But Itachi is probably a bit of a stretch. According to Orochimaru's genetic theory, half-brothers often have very different talents and personalities. Although I don't know where Orochimaru got this genetic theory from, that's what it says in Nawaki's notebook...

So when he guessed that the girl Nawaki liked was actually the second male lead's mother, he gave up on Nawaki. If he couldn't beat her, he would just wait for Kaguya to appear in ten years or so. By then, the ninja world would truly be a loving family, and Tsunade's ideology wouldn't be so important. If that didn't work, he could go to Orochimaru and ask him for the Senju Summoning Technique to summon Senju and teach his precious granddaughter a lesson.

I wonder if Orochimaru's technique for summoning the dead is perfected yet. Given his relationship with Orochimaru, getting a ninjutsu to summon the dead shouldn't be a problem for him.

To be honest, it's been a long time since I've seen Snake...

810. Snake Uncle, Handsome Scorpion, Tech-Savvy Duo

"Heh heh, Orochimaru, what's wrong with Konoha? You couldn't even keep the Nine-Tails under control and let it escape. I heard Konoha is suffering heavy losses right now. Aren't you, the Third Hokage's disciple, going back to check on things?"

Inside a luxurious palace in the Land of Rain, today is the monthly meeting of the Akatsuki. Everyone except the Finance Minister, who is responsible for supporting the entire country, is required to attend. The meeting is a monthly meeting where Pain, controlled by the leader Nagato, reconciles the core ideology of the Akatsuki.

So far, apart from Kakuzu who is often out on business, the core members of the Xiaotian Group are only two top-notch tech geeks, Sasori and Orochimaru. However, Kakuzu, who had just returned from a business trip and rested for two days, also came to the event to bring back a bunch of limited-edition tools for his friend's nephew, Sasori.

Before the meeting even started, Kakuzu made a joke about Orochimaru, who looked rather sinister.

"Heh, I didn't expect the Golden Lion to be so formidable..."

Snake Uncle, without any perspective, chuckled and looked at his teammate, Handsome Scorpion, beside him.

He had previously run away from Konoha and encountered the masked man who called himself Uchiha Madara. He agreed to join the so-called Akatsuki group and was quite surprised when he met the handsome Sasori who came to greet him.

Based on the masked man's previous description of the Akatsuki, this so-called Akatsuki should be an organization created by Jiraiya's three disciples in the Land of Rain. Although it's unclear how it has turned into an organization aiming to destroy the world, it's undeniable that it's a terrorist organization.

This handsome Sasori holds a position in Sunagakure equivalent to that of Nawaki in Konoha. He is the grandson of the Sunagakure emperor, the Sunagakure's most precious treasure, and, most importantly, the nephew of that guy Shiki.

He disappeared along with the Third Kazekage before the Third Shinobi World War started. At the time, he was busy with his scientific experiments and had to go to confront the Third Raikage before the war began, so he didn't think much about it.

He was quite surprised that this kid had gone to join a terrorist organization. He had heard that Kakuzu was also in this organization. Given the relationship between Shiki and Kakuzu, Shiki must have known that this kid was in a terrorist organization. He was also annoyed that Shiki would let his nephew join a terrorist organization.

Back when Golden Lion brought Handsome Sasori to Konoha for peace talks, he could see how much Golden Lion cherished his nephew.

However, he was relieved when he saw the handsome Sasori pull out a puppet made by the Third Kazekage.

The way she looked at Handsome Scorpion changed; it was no longer the look she gave a junior, but rather as if she were seeing a close friend.

So after joining the Akatsuki, they became quite familiar with each other. Orochimaru would occasionally visit Sasori's museum to look at the messy human puppets for inspiration. Sasori pursued eternity, while Orochimaru pursued immortality. In a way, they were pursuing the same goal, just with different methods. Since they were both using people for experiments, they could learn from each other.

The reason why Sasori started researching human puppets was because he visited Orochimaru's laboratory during the peace talks with Shinto. Inspired by Orochimaru's numerous bottles and jars, he had a fairly good impression of Orochimaru. In the words of his bastard uncle, "Don't let his cunning fool you, his talent rivals that of Tobirama Senju, the one your grandmother admires..."

"Hmph! That bastard's only good for being hard..."

Seeing the look in Snake Uncle's eyes, Handsome Scorpion seemed to have become even more emotionless due to his long time in Xiaotian's group and the influence of the atmosphere.

But he was also shocked that the bastard was so tough.
