Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

She wasn't familiar with the name. Or rather, although she had lived in Konoha for decades, she only knew Uchiha Yuta and Uchiha Fugaku, the two generations of clan heads from the Uchiha clan. She couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the others. After all, the feud between the Senju and Uchiha clans could be made into several large-scale TV series, so why would she go to the Uchiha clan? Besides, the name Uchiha Mikoto sounded ordinary and nothing special. Her younger brother had told her that Uchiha Mikoto was his classmate from back then, but she had no recollection of her at all.

However, this wasn't the reason for her inner power to erupt. Although she was very resistant to the Uchiha clan, they were, after all, one of the founders of Konoha. If it weren't for the Uchiha clan, her grandfather wouldn't have been able to establish Konoha so smoothly. Moreover, the Uchiha clan's genes were definitely better than those of that female disciple, Golden Lion. If her younger brother really liked it, even though it was a bit of a sin, she gritted her teeth and agreed. Who knows, a union between the Senju and Uchiha might actually produce a monster.

But she never expected that her younger brother was truly a sinner. This Uchiha Mikoto was not only a member of the Uchiha clan, but also the wife of the Uchiha clan's head, and was now a mother of two!

Hearing this, she could no longer hold back. Her inner power exploded, instantly activating the Zone mode she hadn't entered for many years. Her eyes flashed red as she unleashed a home run, slamming the rope deep into the wall. If it were any other time, this punch from Tsunade would have caused at least half of the Sunagakure Grand Hotel to collapse.

However, ever since Tsunade and her brother moved in, their constant demolition has caused the hotel owner a lot of trouble. So, during each renovation, the owner spent a lot of money to add a lot of reinforced concrete. I can't speak for other places, but the sturdiness of their hotel is definitely the best in the whole village. Even iconic buildings like the Wind Shadow Tower can't match it in terms of sturdiness.

This is also thanks to Tsunade, a skilled building inspector. And just as the hotel owner had predicted, this seemingly unbreakable and indestructible hotel withstood Tsunade's massive punch. However, the structure still needs further reinforcement...

841. It's all your second grandfather's fault.

Seeing her younger brother trapped inside the wall, Tsunade was furious and really wanted to beat the bastard to death.

Why did he have to fall for a married woman? The worst part is that the couple seems to have a good relationship, otherwise they wouldn't be trying for a second child.

The Senju clan can do anything, but they cannot be a third party who destroys someone else's family, not even the Uchiha clan. This is a matter of moral bottom line.

"Hiss...! What's going on? (⊙_⊙)?"

"Tsunade, calm down! If you do another round, your Senju clan will truly be wiped out!"

After dealing with Yekura's matter and leaving the Kazekage Tower, Shinto arrived at the Sunagakure Grand Hotel. He was about to inform Nawaki to check on his mental state when he entered the hotel. Just then, he saw Nawaki, blasted into the lobby wall, unconscious and barely clinging to life with only a sliver of blood. On the other side, through layers of walls riddled with holes, he saw Tsunade, her eyes glowing red, already in Zone Mode, about ten rooms away. Fortunately, the walls Nawaki had pierced weren't load-bearing...

Although it was still unclear what had happened to make Tsunade reduce her brother to near-death, seeing that Tsunade was about to make another move, he used a quick teleportation to Tsunade's side, grabbed her, and forcibly restrained her.

Just kidding, even Tsunade in this mode could make him feel suffocated by a punch. Even Onoki would be terrified. The fact that Nawaki, that idiot, survived a punch is all thanks to the genes of Hashirama Senju in his body. If he had been punched again, this future brother-in-law would have really kicked the bucket.

Of course, the plot has already progressed to this point, so whether the future brother-in-law lives or dies is no longer important. His survival is of no use to his pursuit of Tsunade; on the contrary, it only makes things more difficult for him.

However, if Tsunade really killed her own younger brother, that would be far more difficult than closing herself off. At that point, her situation would become the ultimate hellish level, and even summoning the Senju master wouldn't be of any use.

"That idiot, that idiot actually likes the mother of two kids! (▼へ▼メ)"

"What sins have we, the Senju clan, committed?!"

Being held by a man for the first time, the shame in her heart diluted the anger that was gathering in her head and was about to burst out. She gradually withdrew from the legendary zone mode. However, when she came to her senses, she didn't care that she was still being held by this bastard. Instead, she looked at her unconscious younger brother with a sweet smile and then couldn't help but complain.

When she was young, her two grandfathers were still alive. Back then, the Senju clan was incredibly powerful. But after her two grandfathers passed away, they began to decline. In just a few decades, the once dominant ninja clan, which had dominated the ninja world for hundreds of years, was reduced to just her and her brother. And now, the clan's only heir, her younger brother, actually has a crush on someone else's wife. Even the most well-mannered person couldn't help but swear.

“…”

Shinto stared at Nawaki, who was unconscious inside the wall, and listened to Tsunade's complaints in silence.

This is all the torture your second grandfather caused. Of all the things to do, he had to play with grave robbing, and what's more, he dug up his own elder brother's grave. This elder brother is the reincarnation of his ancestor, which means he dug up his own ancestral grave.

What is this if not a sin?

This rope tree was also born to wander aimlessly, unlike the short-lived one in the original story who only survived because of his qualified and cheap future brother-in-law.

but.....

"Wait! You said Nawaki likes mothers of two? Nawaki told you that? (⊙_⊙)?"

It took Masato a while to come to his senses and realize what was happening. He looked at Tsunade in shock, then at Nawaki, who was suffering from motion sickness.

What kind of reckless person would dare to tell Tsunade something like this?!

After living together for so many years, didn't you know your sister had a terrible temper?

Let alone Tsunade, if Chiyo, who has become increasingly Zen-like in recent years, found out that her precious son liked someone else's wife and was also the mother of two children, she would probably grab a weapon and kill her son to prove her Dao. Not to mention Tsunade's fiery temper.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

The moral values ​​in the Naruto world are quite positive. At least so far, Shinto has been in the ninja world for decades and has never seen a woman remarry, nor has he ever seen a man accept a second marriage. Even the daimyo who have frequented entertainment venues for many years don't have this kind of taste. It's a matter of family reputation.

The Senju clan is a renowned family in the ninja world. Even though only two people remain, their reputation speaks for itself. Moreover, they represent the Senju of Love, a symbol of justice, which is far more prestigious than the evil Uchiha clan. But even the evil Uchiha clan wouldn't be interested in that kind of thing.

If someone in the family had such a defective item, and they didn't like the original, they would definitely want to get rid of it if the legendary Thousand-Handed Man were still alive.

Just kidding, the Uchiha are Senju-sama's soft meat...

"Well... perhaps it's because Rope Tree hasn't seen enough women. Think about it, Rope Tree has always been by your side since he was little, and the only woman he's frequently in contact with is you, his older sister. So, it's possible that when he was in school, he encountered a woman completely different from you, which left a deep impression on him... leading to a lasting negative impact. Hitting him won't help; you have to educate him slowly, let him meet more women, and let him discover that there are many other choices in this world besides that second male lead's mother... oops, besides that woman. Then he'll let go..."

Masato's haphazard analysis is so convincing that he's almost convinced of his own claims.

Anyway, thinking about it carefully, it's pretty much true. Most of the girls in the ninja world are violent tomboys like Tsunade. Tsunade and Nawaki are more than ten years apart in age. When Tsunade became famous in the ninja world, girls of Nawaki's age were just at the age of establishing their core values. Gradually, they regarded Tsunade as their idol, and most fans would imitate the idol's words and deeds. Naturally, Konoha had many more tomboy traditions. Over the years, this developed into a huge chain of reactions. Nawaki happened to be in the budding stage of first love during this period.

Having been beaten up by his domineering older sister since childhood, it's no wonder he developed a deep-seated aversion to that type of girl. Coincidentally, the second male lead's mother is gentle and refined, which creates a similar dynamic between him and that type of girl. This is probably why Rope Tree had such a profound influence on the second male lead's mother.

This led Nawaki to yearn for gentle and graceful girls. However, the problem was that he didn't find any girls like that while he was in Konoha, and when he left Konoha, Tsunade was worried about his safety and kept him tied up all the time. So, although the outside world was vast, Nawaki's world was very small. He didn't meet many girls and could only continue to fantasize about the second male lead's mother!

Hmm...that makes a lot of sense. I'm a fucking genius! (???)

842. Shisui's Body Flicker Technique in the Fifty-Fifth Year of Konoha

"...You mean you want him to be like Jiraiya?"

Once she calmed down, Tsunade asked uncertainly.

Although it was explained in a rather complicated way, she still understood. It meant that her younger brother didn't have many different types of girls, and since he was always around her, he didn't have the opportunity to meet any girls. That's why he was so fond of that Uchiha girl, even though she already had two children.

Jiraiya seems to have never experienced anything like this before, but the problem is that Jiraiya is the person she hates most in her life. Now, it seems this guy wants her younger brother to become the person she hates most. This... Tsunade can't help but imagine Nawaki squatting in a bathhouse like Jiraiya... It's just too much... Maybe she should just kill him!

"Uh... that's not what I meant. I didn't mean for him to be as direct as Jiraiya. Jiraiya was more outgoing, but that was just being a scoundrel... What I meant was that you're giving Nawaki some personal space so he can see the world for himself. He's not a child anymore. You can protect him for a while, but not forever. Even if you could protect him forever, a boy growing up to be a man needs his own personal space, right? Look at my nephew. After he turned fifteen, as long as he didn't mess himself up, we never interfered. Restricting him too much would only hinder his growth. Although Nawaki is already in his mid-twenties and his growth potential is limited, you still want him to develop in a positive direction, right?"

Shinto was stunned for a moment, wondering how Tsunade had come to the conclusion that Nawaki had to squat in a public bathhouse like Jiraiya to be considered "contact." However, it was still necessary to clarify that while Tsunade didn't know if Nawaki was that kind of person, he was definitely not.

"...Well... let's give it a try. Starting tomorrow, as long as he doesn't leave my side for more than a kilometer, I'll let him have his way!"

Seeing that Masato spoke with great conviction, Tsunade thought for a moment and nodded. This method was worth a try. Although she had raised her younger brother since he was a child, her so-called raising him meant that he just needed to keep him from starving. Moreover, the Senju clan was inherently resilient and could survive for ten days or half a month without food or water. They were easy to raise.

I never imagined it could be so complicated. She is indeed a medical expert, but only in internal medicine and surgery. Psychological problems are not related to her expertise. Since this family's words make so much sense, we can only give it a try.

However, it's impossible for her not to protect her younger brother. He's her only brother; what if something happens to him?

So I came up with a compromise: as long as my younger brother doesn't stray more than a kilometer from her, he can have some fun within that kilometer radius...

"..."

Masato silently looked at the rope tree still embedded in the load-bearing wall, and sighed helplessly. If he had known that this kid was living such a hard life, he would have preferred to have him killed back then, so that he could find a good family in the next life and at least not have to live such a tiring life.

.......

In the 55th year of Konoha and the 54th year of Sunagakure, four years after the Nine-Tails' Night in Konoha, the ninja world entered a relatively peaceful period. During this time, the major ninja villages mostly engaged in skirmishes between their ANBU members, but everyone was quite restrained and no major battles broke out. After all, each village suffered heavy losses in the Third Shinobi World War. Kumogakure lost the strongest Raikage in history, and Iwagakure also suffered a large number of losses in order to kill the Third Raikage, in addition to the losses from previous battlefield skirmishes. Even after several years, they had not recovered.

Although Kirigakure has now cleared away the corrupt officials, it has been ruined by Obito. Although it is no longer closed off from the world, it rarely appears in the ninja world and continues to develop in a low-key manner. In every major battle, Konoha is fighting against several opponents, so Konoha naturally suffers the greatest losses. With the deaths of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and his wife, and the departure of the Sannin, Konoha is now in a period of transition. The youngest double-flower red-armored ninja is the White Fang of Konoha, who is already over fifty years old, plus Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is past his prime.

While Sunagakure suffered relatively little loss during the Third Shinobi World War and even profited handsomely from the Land of Water, making it one of the few villages to benefit from war, the geographical conditions of the Land of Wind also constrained their development. In addition, the elite troop policy implemented by Sunagakure and Ebizo more than a decade ago, although improving their combat strength, still resulted in Sunagakure having the smallest military force among the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Moreover, they would suffer losses in any war. Rasa, who had just secured his position as Kazekage, would naturally not be foolish enough to rashly provoke a war. Therefore, in the current shinobi world, there is not even a scene of more than twenty people fighting together.

However, newcomers always have to rise to the top, and this relatively peaceful period is precisely the best time for young geniuses to take the lead. After all, during wartime, unless an individual's strength surpasses that of everyone else, it is almost impossible for even a genius to stand out in a war involving tens of thousands of people.

Minato Namikaze and Kakashi are good examples. When World War II started, Minato Namikaze was already a teenager. Although he was a genius, he was leveling up at that time and was well hidden by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Knowing that World War II was not his era, he did not let him play. By World War III, Minato Namikaze had accumulated enough experience, so he was able to debut at his peak.

On the other hand, Kakashi is another example of failure. He became famous at the age of five, becoming a young ninja in the ninja world. He became a Jonin at the age of twelve, which was already a rare genius in the ninja world. However, such a genius was overshadowed in that kind of war. Although he was a genius, he was young and his body had not yet reached its peak. Even though he was a Jonin, his shortcomings were also very obvious. In addition, the definition of genius lies in their skills and strength far exceeding their peers in small-scale battles, and they can play a huge role in this type of small-scale battle. However, in large-scale wars, they were reduced to playing minor roles.

In recent years, Kakashi has gradually earned the titles of "Konoha Technician" and "Copy Ninja." This is because as he has grown, this cautious approach to team battles has become more suitable for him. While Kakashi has risen to prominence, a young genius has also emerged from the Uchiha clan of Konoha. At the age of twelve, he has already earned the title of "Shisui of the Body Flicker," even surpassing Shiroba.

However, the emergence of a super genius in Konoha should have been a cause for celebration throughout the village, with Hiruzen Sarutobi feeling comforted. Yet, Hiruzen couldn't find any joy. The reason was simple: in recent years, since his peak had passed and his leader Sakumo's short-range ninja skills hadn't been as sharp as before, even though his footwork was still as flamboyant as ever, if it were any other clan, even the Hyuga clan, that had produced a super genius, he would have applauded, thinking the village had a worthy successor, and readily promoted him to a higher position. But damn it, this young man was from the Uchiha clan.

This made him very upset!

843. Uchiha took a drug and produced two offspring.

After the Uchiha clan clashed with the Kaguya clan of Kirigakure during the Third Shinobi World War, Minato Namikaze rose to power. At that time, two of Hiruzen Sarutobi's three disciples were still in the village, and White Fang's short blade remained sharp. The Uchiha clan did indeed keep a low profile for those two years. However, after all three of Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciples left Konoha, Minato Namikaze and White Fang, the two flamboyant men of Konoha, were still able to keep things under control. Therefore, the Uchiha clan did not show any signs of arrogance. Although they returned to their arrogant and domineering style of the past, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had a deep understanding of the Uchiha clan, would advise his perfect grand-disciple to turn a blind eye and tolerate it.

After all, they are the founding family of Konoha and the core fighting force of Konoha. As long as they don't go too far, let them be!

However, since the death of the Nine-Tails' grand-disciple, the Uchiha clan has begun to show signs of resurgence. But these were all within a controllable range. What truly made Hiruzen Sarutobi uneasy was the Uchiha clan's actions in the past two years, especially after his former best friend's grandson began to show his talent and Fugaku Uchiha's eldest son displayed extraordinary talent. It seemed as if the Uchiha clan had returned to the state it was in before the First Hokage's death decades ago.

To be honest, Hiruzen Sarutobi never expected that his former best friend Kagami's genes would be passed down through generations. He took good care of his former best friend's son, whether out of consideration for their past friendship or for the sake of the village's peaceful coexistence with the Uchiha clan. Over the years, he did a lot of work to help his former best friend's son, hoping that he could contribute to the peaceful coexistence of the village and the Uchiha clan like his father. But in the end, although the boy inherited his father's ideas, he did not live up to the talent his father left him.

This child's talent was genius compared to ordinary people, and even in a clan like the Uchiha where everyone was exceptional, he was a rare genius. However, compared to his father, he was somewhat mediocre. He only evolved to the three-tomoe chakra at the age of eighteen and eventually died on the battlefield in Kirigakure. At that time, his former best friend's grandson was still young, and due to the war, he didn't have time to pay much attention to the child. Therefore, he didn't know how talented the child was. However, he thought that he probably couldn't compare to his former best friend, Uchiha Kagami. In their Konoha, there were too many examples of heroes like him. Not to mention distant ones, he and his two sons were obvious examples. He, a dignified ninja doctor, was born with five rare chakra natures, but neither of his two sons could inherit his talent.

So, in his mind, even if his former best friend's grandson was quite talented, he would only be on par with his father. He figured that once the grandson grew up, he would take care of the child out of respect for his former best friend and his father's sacrifice for the village, and let him live a peaceful and safe life.

However, he never expected that his former best friend's grandson would be so talented. At the young age of twelve, he had already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. What's even more amazing is that during a mission with his team leader, when the team leader and his teammates were all killed, this kid pulled off a miraculous comeback while being surrounded and beaten by more than a dozen people, successfully delivering the intelligence back to the village. It was at that time that he started to pay attention to the kid's news and asked the Anbu to give him the kid's growth experience from childhood to adulthood. What he found shocked him. This kid was definitely Uchiha Kagami II!

Not only was he a genius from childhood, but he also lacked the temperament of an Uchiha. Instead, he was adept at being low-key and got along well with his friends. Wasn't he just another Uchiha Kagami? In fact, his talent was even more impressive than Uchiha Kagami's. He didn't believe that Uchiha Kagami could have managed to turn the tables and kill five Jonin and more than ten Chunin at his age when he was surrounded and attacked. That was a feat that only Golden Lion or Sakumo could achieve.

What pleased him was that the child's thinking remained consistent with Uchiha Kagami's, so he wasn't too worried. However, since the child was from the Uchiha clan, his sudden rise to prominence immediately reminded him of another young genius from the Uchiha clan, the incredibly brave eldest son of the Uchiha clan head. His talent was comparable to his former best friend's grandson; he could learn the clan's ninjutsu instantly after just one glance. On the night of the Nine-Tails, he dared to hold his newborn brother and watch the Golden Lion fight the Nine-Tails up close. The Golden Lion was right; just that courage alone meant the child would be incredibly powerful in the future. But damn it, he wasn't even in the future; he was already incredibly powerful now. If he weren't afraid of contradicting Kakashi, the child would probably graduate even earlier than Kakashi, breaking Kakashi's record as the youngest ninja would be a piece of cake. Anyone with eyes could see that the child would be incredibly powerful in the future.

however!

Just when the village was facing a food shortage, two extraordinary geniuses suddenly appeared in the Uchiha clan, which made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel even worse than if he had eaten several kilograms of meat.

Is the Uchiha clan on drugs? They either don't produce any at all, or when they do, it's a pair!

Although he inherited the First Hokage's ideas and strived to achieve peaceful coexistence between the village and the Uchiha clan, he really didn't dare to entrust the village's future to the Uchiha. Perhaps the two children's ideas were fine, but the other members of the Uchiha clan were not so good. If the village were really handed over to the Uchiha, he, the Third Hokage, would probably become a second-class citizen, and the Second Hokage would probably crawl out of his coffin to have a talk with him about life ideals.

So even though his former best friend's grandson had made a name for himself, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't be happy. The thought that there was still one Uchiha made him even more worried. Kakashi, on whom he had placed high hopes, had also made a name for himself, but what good was a "Konoha Technician" or "Copy Ninja" who only had Sharingan? He was nowhere near as powerful as Konoha's White Fang!

Whenever he thinks of Kakashi, Hiruzen Sarutobi can't help but curse that weirdo Uchiha who gave Kakashi his eyes. Such a naturally gifted double-flower red stick was ruined like that!

He even suspected that the Uchiha were deliberately setting him up, but he had been quite good to the Uchiha over the years, so the Uchiha wouldn't do something like this to him, right?

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood in the Hokage's office, frowning as he looked out the window at Konoha. He kept puffing on his long pipe. Although he had heard that smoking too much as one got older would lead to a decline in kidney function, he didn't care that his wife was dead, he couldn't call Nawaki back to succeed him, and he didn't have time to find a soulmate.

"Ahem.... How about we put Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi into the Anbu? That way, at least they'll have less contact with the other Uchiha."

The cultured man, suffering from secondhand smoke, was feeling unwell. Seeing his friend still puffing away, he worried that if he didn't offer some good advice, he might develop lung cancer from the secondhand smoke. As he gets older, his immune system weakens, and while he used to find his friend's smoke pleasant, now it just tastes pungent...

844. Itachi Uchiha's momentum is even stronger.

Recently, my friend's grandson made an incredible comeback, taking on more than a dozen opponents at such a young age, which is even more impressive than the Uchiha's title of taking on five opponents at once. This kind of fame is something they can't hide. Now the ninja world has started to call my friend's grandson "Shisui of the Body Flicker". Over the years, only Sakumo in Konoha has achieved such a feat.

This should have been a cause for celebration for them, since their grandson was in a transitional period between generations. But the worst part is, this kid's surname is Uchiha!

The most crucial point isn't that. If it were just a friend's grandson, it would be fine. There are examples of children who are promising but don't necessarily become successful as adults. Kakashi was famous at a young age, but he's still only moderately successful now.

The setbacks he encounters in his career can easily affect his future. There are countless examples of this. He has seen far too many in the ninja world over the years. There are very few people who remain popular for a long time. Therefore, even if his friend's grandson is a super genius born into the Uchiha clan, his future is full of uncertainties.

Even if he really does rise up, it doesn't matter if there's only one Uchiha. Their White Fang can still fight, and their friend isn't too old to fight. In a two-on-one fight, they have a better chance of winning. Besides, their friend's grandson's thinking isn't as extreme as that of ordinary Uchiha.

However, besides their friend's grandson, another genius from the Uchiha clan has emerged, and he is the young clan leader. This makes them very worried. Moreover, this eldest son of Uchiha Fugaku is even more promising than their friend's grandson. He doesn't know the meaning of being low-key at all. He graduated early at the age of six, and now at only nine years old, he is said to be able to fight against Jonin one-on-one. This is practically the growth path of Sakumo Hatake!

The key point is that with such fierce talent, it wouldn't be surprising if he awakens eyes like Madara in the future. Right now, this kid's thinking isn't as extreme as the Uchiha's. So, Mitokado Homura thinks they should make their move sooner rather than later. Even if they don't kill these two kids, it's safer to at least keep them under control. If these two kids grow up and are fooled by those Uchiha guys for a few more years, by then White Fang and his friends will be old and faded, and Konoha will really belong to the Uchiha. They'll all become inferior people.

“Menyan is right, but it’s too risky to let both of them enter the Anbu. It’s best to keep them separate. How about I take Uchiha Itachi? My Root is too dark and not suitable for Kagami’s grandson.”
