Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

If Itachi Uchiha was an undercover agent sent by his Hokage teacher, then all the previous inconsistencies would make perfect sense. Not all members of the Uchiha clan are overpowered; there are also those whose clan ideology supersedes that of the village. For example, Kagami Uchiha was one such person. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising if Itachi Uchiha inherited this ideology.

And their target for this undercover mission, Orochimaru, is definitely their Akatsuki group.

Although the Akatsuki have kept a low profile over the years, Sasori's handsome reputation is well-known. If one is determined, it is not difficult to find out about the Akatsuki's existence. Moreover, the Konoha Anbu were trained by White Fang, so their abilities are still top-notch.

Konoha sacrificed one Uchiha to bring out Itachi Uchiha in order to lure Jiraiya's two disciples into a trap. Although it's unlikely that Itachi alone wiped out the Uchiha clan, he was already famous, and he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at a young age. He was young, good-looking, had strong fighting skills, and his temperament was impeccable. His popularity even surpassed that of Sasori, whose reputation for handsome looks had been touted by Shiki for many years. It would be difficult for Jiraiya's two disciples not to fall for it!

This approach reveals his Naruto-sensei style in every way.

If it were someone like Onoki who knew his teacher well, or a seasoned veteran like Kakuzu, they might not have been fooled. Unfortunately, even though Jiraiya's disciple had the Rinnegan, he was still too inexperienced!

Thinking of this, Orochimaru glanced out of the corner of his eye at Sasori, who was hammering away at a pile of parts. If Konoha could abandon the Uchiha clan to trick the Akatsuki, could Sunagakure also abandon the Third Kazekage and use Sasori to trick the Akatsuki?

If it's true that Itachi Uchiha, the future star of his clan, was guilty of a heinous crime by single-handedly destroying his own clan, then Sasori, the crown prince of Sunagakure and the hope of the entire village, was guilty of an unspeakable crime by killing his own leader, and thus, there would be even less doubt about it!

Moreover, both Chiyo and Shiki are cunning and shrewd, and their ability to use tricks is no less than that of their Hokage teacher!

It wouldn't be surprising if Orochimaru, Onoki's precious disciple, appeared again in a couple of years. In the ninja world, it's not just about being able to kill people; you can't get by if you lack intelligence. And Jiraiya's two disciples happen to have plenty of strength but lack intelligence.

The more Orochimaru thought about it, the more he felt that the Akatsuki group had no future. With the three top executives plus the future Itachi Uchiha, there were four executives, and two of them might be spies. As for Kakuzu, although his situation was unclear, given his sworn brotherhood with Shiki, his stance probably wouldn't be too firm either.

Orochimaru must feel sorry for his two disciples who were always trapped in a cycle of tricks.

Let's find a chance to slip away; this organization is even more complicated than Konoha...

"puff!"

"Kaleidoscope? Aren't those Madara Uchiha's eyes? It can't be real, can it? How old is that kid?"

Kakuzu didn't have as much absorption as Orochimaru. When he heard Orochimaru mention Madara Uchiha's eyes, he spat out the sake in his mouth and stared wide-eyed at Orochimaru. Those were Madara Uchiha's eyes!

This is even more outrageous than his good brother, Golden Lion, being able to defeat him in one hit at the age of fourteen.

Even the handsome Sasori, who had been diligently studying the human body, looked over. He had never heard of Madara Uchiha. Not to mention that his grandfather was killed young by Madara Uchiha, his bastard uncle had been nagging him about his idol's heroic deeds. Just the love triangle between his grandmother, grandfather, and Madara Uchiha had been talked about by his bastard uncle since he was a child until his ears were covered in hair.

"Hehe, it's not really considered an Uchiha eye. Although they are both Mangekyou Sharingan, there are still differences. But this kid's talent is indeed very tempting."

Seeing Kakuzu and Sasori's reactions, Orochimaru knew that the two had some misunderstanding about Madara Uchiha's eyes. However, it was not surprising. Laymen who had not studied the Uchiha would not know the difference between the Mangekyou Sharingan and Madara Uchiha's eyes. Even when he first heard about the Mangekyou Sharingan, he immediately thought of Madara Uchiha. After all, Madara Uchiha made his name famous for those Mangekyou Sharingan. It's not that Madara Uchiha relied too much on those eyes; rather, it was because of Madara Uchiha that those eyes became famous throughout the ninja world.

There may have been individuals in the Uchiha clan who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in the past, but they simply failed to make a name for themselves with it.

"Scorpion...go with me to the Land of Fire to pick up Uchiha Itachi."

Just as Kakuzu and Sasori were still slightly surprised, the nouveau riche Nan walked in, glanced at the three people in the luxurious toy house without any surprise, and said to Sasori indifferently.

Orochimaru and Sasori are both tech geeks, so she knows they have a lot in common. Kakuzu and Sasori were teammates for a while before Kakuzu joined them, and everyone knows about Kakuzu's relationship with Shiki. So it's not surprising that the three of them are here. The Akatsuki crew doesn't have many rules. As long as they complete the necessary tasks, they are free to do whatever they want. However, Kakuzu is a good person. He is definitely an excellent treasurer. Even she and Nagato would give him face. After all, he is an expert when it comes to making money. The people of their country depend on him for support.

But Orochimaru and Sasori were a real headache for her and Nagato.

916. Mainly to let the handsome Scorpion get into the zone.

Having been reclusive for so many years, it's hard to say whether their fighting skills are still up to par. Orochimaru might be alright, after all, he debuted early and participated in two World Wars. Even though he's been a recluse for a while, he still has his fighting experience.

But it's hard to say about this handsome Sasori. It's said that after he killed the head of his own village, he ran away and didn't even understand the basic principle of paying for food. It's hard to imagine how much he's been treasured. Moreover, his fame is now almost entirely based on his looks. His famous battle against the Third Kazekage was many years ago. Since joining the Akatsuki, he has never gone out on his own initiative. Orochimaru occasionally goes out to find inspiration, but this guy has taken staying home to a whole new level.

So, to keep this guy from falling behind the times, and to let him get some sun and get back into shape, whenever Nagato and the nouveau riche Minami need something, this precious gem is the first thing they think of...

Originally, they planned to have Orochimaru and Sasori form a high-end technology team. However, after all these years, Nagato had realized that the two of them together would only see who could stay in the dark longer. So, this time, Nagato sent Sasori and his friends to pick someone up not only to let him get some sun and get into the swing of things, but also to let him team up with Itachi Uchiha and see how it goes. The two have similar backgrounds; one is the heir of a wealthy family, and the other is the crown prince of Sunagakure. They're both from wealthy families, so let's see if they can create any interesting chemistry.

"I'm busy! Go by yourself."

Handsome Scorpion is just that stubborn; he continues his anatomical research, hammering and tinkering, even if the other person is a woman with a decent figure and looks—he's a father now...

"...This is Payne's decision."

The rich man was not surprised by the handsome scorpion's reaction. He finished speaking calmly and left.

Every time I ask this shut-in to go out, it's like this; it would be a miracle if he actually agreed.

".....hateful."

Although Handsome Scorpion was tough, not long after Rich Man Nan left, he gritted his teeth and finally crawled into his ugly toy shell to follow him out...

From a young age, he knew that if you lose in this world, you have to accept it. He couldn't beat Pain, and since he was defeated, he had no choice but to accept it until he was absolutely certain of winning back.

"...Hehe, I told you, we'll have a new member soon, Kaleidoscope, come and see for yourself."

After the wealthy Nan and the handsome Sasori left, Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with wisdom, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

........

"Two million for big!"

I'm betting on small!

"I'm betting on small...!"

"Place your bet now! 11:35 PM!!!"

"Damn! Are you guys cheating? Why are you always betting small?"

"Lady Tsunade, we really didn't cheat. You might just be having a run of bad luck today. Why don't you wait a bit and come back tomorrow..."

In the Land of Fire, the manager of a casino was on the verge of tears. It had been two years!

In the past two years, they have been forced to drop from the top casino in the Land of Fire to the top ten casinos. In the past two years, this legendary big fat sheep has been visiting their casino every day. Although this big fat sheep always spends big money, their casino has lost even more. If it weren't for their boss's wealth and his kinship with the daimyo's thirty-first wife, other casinos would have gone bankrupt long ago!

In the past two years, he has witnessed firsthand how incredibly unlucky Tsunade's gambling luck is. Even cheating to help her is useless. She bets on small and has her underlings cheat by rolling small, but the numbers are always the opposite. Even when he personally intervenes, it's all in vain.

What kind of terrible things did they do in their past life?!

She's an invincible ninja with her iron fists, and she's also the princess of their Land of Fire. They can't even force her out of the casino.

"Sis, let's call it a day. We don't have much money left, and Miss Slug hasn't brought any more. If we keep gambling, we won't have any money for dinner tonight. This casino has bad feng shui; let's go to another one tomorrow..."

Having grown accustomed to his older sister's normal practices over the years, Rope Tree propped his head up with one hand and looked at the casino manager, who was wailing. In the end, he softened and advised his older sister.

At that moment, in the eyes of this person in charge, this young master seemed to radiate a light; if others couldn't see it, they were blind...

"Hmph! Let's go, we'll try another one!"

In the past, when he was already in a bad mood, he would have been beaten even if his own younger brother spoke up. But now that his younger brother has grown up and is the heir of the Senju clan, it's not good for him to always make a scene in front of outsiders. He should still give him some face.

"Sis, I heard the Uchiha clan was wiped out. Should we go back?"

The siblings wandered aimlessly down the street. Rope Tree, carrying three magical weapons, looked quite flamboyant and constantly attracted the attention of passersby.

However, his mind was already on Konoha. The recent massacre of the Uchiha clan shocked the ninja world. Without the Uchiha clan, Konoha's strength would definitely be weakened. After all, it was the result of his two grandfathers' hard work. So many members of the Senju clan sacrificed themselves for Konoha. Although he had been away from home for many years, it would be a lie to say that he was not worried about the village.

"boom!"

"What are we going back for? To watch those old guys fight amongst themselves?"

Nawaki's words only made Tsunade angrier. She completely forgot about the idea that her younger brother was too old to hit her in front of outsiders and threw a punch at his big head.

Does she really not want her younger brother to go back?

Originally, she wanted her younger brother to return to the village in glory, and then have the Hokage step down so that her younger brother could rightfully become the leader and revitalize their Senju clan.

But to everyone's surprise, this guy's talent was so bad that he even found him a divine artifact, and even his ninjutsu was developed specifically for him by summoning a divine dragon. In the entire ninja world, even a pig could fly if it received this kind of treatment.

Two years have passed, and the Three-Sword Style has not yet been demonstrated; it remains at the basic stage.

Her fantasy of making her younger brother take off was shattered.

Looking at her younger brother, and then at Uchiha Itachi, who's incredibly famous now and surrounded by posters of him, she realized that even as a rogue ninja, he could achieve this level of fame... She had never doubted her grandmother's words before.

But now she's starting to have some doubts: could the Senju clan really have beaten the Uchiha clan to the ground back then?

Look at this Uchiha Itachi. Even though she's never met him, he's already a superstar at such a young age. And look at her younger brother, over thirty and still hanging around her...

Although it's true that Uchiha Itachi is somewhat rebellious, if her younger brother had that talent and could single-handedly defeat the Senju clan at that age, she would be overjoyed even if it was considered rebellious!

917. I fell for his brother before I even fell for the second male lead.

Previously, Tsunade only knew that her younger brother lacked talent, but he was still a member of the Senju clan. He couldn't learn the forbidden ninjutsu or sealing techniques in the Scroll of Sealing, and he even messed up the super strength technique developed by their grandfather. Tsunade thought that the ninjutsu was just not suitable for her younger brother. As long as he had a ninjutsu that matched his talent, flying shouldn't be a problem, just like she learned the super strength technique developed by her grandfather. After all, he was her own brother, so he shouldn't be too useless!

So even though her younger brother was only half-baked at everything he learned, and she was constantly driven crazy by him, she still held onto a sliver of hope for him. When that guy, Masato, suggested that Orochimaru summon her great-grandfather to help her brother cheat, she didn't object. In fact, she suddenly realized why she hadn't thought of this method all these years. Wasn't her great-grandfather a forbidden technique printing machine? How many forbidden techniques in the Konoha Sealing Book were developed by her great-grandfather? Why not just summon him and have Nawaki develop a ninjutsu tailored to match him?

Just like the superhuman strength her great-grandfather developed for her.

But things didn't go as planned. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Ninjutsu was developed, and they even got three divine weapons, but what was the result?

Two years!

Two whole years have passed. Although the Uchiha clan hasn't taken off as she expected, and she doesn't know what happened to Uchiha Shisui, she guesses he's dead, one of the former Uchiha stars has become a superstar, while this idiot still can't learn. He can use the three divine weapons to slice watermelons and kill some chunin and genin, and he can even take on jonin, but he's only good at one-on-one jonin fights. Taking on two jonin would be too difficult for him.

This shattered her dream of letting Nawaki spend two years honing his skills outside before returning to become the leader. Although she didn't need to honedge his skills, the two generations of Hokage from the Senju clan, plus Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, were enough to secure Nawaki's position as the top leader, she really didn't dare to let Nawaki's strength improve.

Why did the Third Shinobi World War begin? Wasn't it because the Third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared?

How strong is the Third Kazekage?

Although the title of "the strongest Kazekage in history" is somewhat exaggerated, it is much more reasonable than the old man's "the strongest Hokage on shit".

She had witnessed the strength of the Third Kazekage on the battlefield of Sunagakure during World War II. He was a Kazekage who could fly, and Onoki had only managed to survive until now because of his ability to fly.

Even the Third Kazekage, a respectable Kage-level expert, mysteriously disappeared. You can imagine how dangerous it is to be the head of a ninja village. Not to mention the head of Konoha, the number one village in the ninja world. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. If Nawaki really becomes Hokage, even if she and Sakumo are his bodyguards 24 hours a day, she still won't feel at ease!

"...Sis, I don't mean anything by it, I just want to know what I did wrong this time and why I got hammered again."

Rope Tree, carrying three magical weapons and exuding a slightly flamboyant air, lay sprawled on the ground with a large bump on his head, looking utterly hopeless.

"It's nothing, I just had an itch to do it, is there a problem?"

Tsunade rubbed her fists and glared at her good-for-nothing younger brother.

"No...no objection."

Rope Tree completely gave up. He'd been getting hammered for so many years, he was used to it by now...

......

"Karin, look at our village, it's not like we don't have any handsome guys. Gaara is pretty good-looking too, he's decent-looking, and he even has a tattoo on his forehead. Besides, this brat isn't as handsome as your old man no matter how you look at him. How about we change our target? Tell your great-uncle who else you've got your eye on, and I'll help you tie him up!"

On the main street of Sunagakure, today is a school holiday. Masato stares intently at a poster of Itachi Uchiha that he bought at a high price from a bookstore, and his eyes are about to turn into hearts. Masato gets a toothache. In order to change this little darling's outlook on life, Masato also goes against his conscience and praises Rasa's youngest son.

Although Karin inherited her mother Shuri's infatuation with girls and couldn't handle her youngest son's unique charm, he thought it was normal. However, he initially believed it was only temporary. After all, the current Karin was different from the ugly and shabby Kusagakure in the original story. Her great-grandmother was the second generation's "Flower of the Shinobi World." Although she was old and faded, her reputation for beauty in her youth remained. There was even a portrait painted by a painter from the Land of Wind for a young Chiyo in the living room. Sasori and Yusaori were also famous for their good looks. With Sasori as her father, the most handsome man in the Shinobi World, he thought this little girl should have high standards. She definitely wouldn't be drooling over that ugly second male lead in the future.

But who knows if I'll end up drooling over that pretentious second male lead in the future? Right now, my soul is completely captivated by his older brother, and I don't even need to wait for the second male lead to appear.

Ever since his youngest son, Tu Clan, attained enlightenment, his popularity has skyrocketed in the ninja world like a cheat code. The speed and popularity of this rise are so great that even his nephew, the handsome Sasori, who has been promoting his reputation for lewdness all these years, can't catch up. This is definitely the first opportunity in the history of the ninja world for rogue ninjas. In recent years, apart from Kakuzu, which rogue ninja hasn't been like a rat during a festival? Let alone fans, you're lucky if you don't get stabbed when you meet them.

But this Uchiha Itachi somehow became a superstar, and the first rogue ninja to become a popularity king. Over the years, he has been desperately trying to promote Sasori, but ever since the Sand Village announced that Sasori had become a rogue ninja, his popularity has never taken off. Although he still has some female fans, the number is definitely much greater than it would have been without his current son.
