Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

They're out, they're out.

After Kakudo retired to support a country and went into seclusion, the new ninja world tycoon, Gato, has arrived, bringing his underlings with him!

To be fair, this Gato is indeed a talented individual. This world is ultimately ruled by ninjas, who control eighty percent of the wealth in the entire ninja world. While ordinary people also possess wealth, most of them are high-ranking figures in the ninja world, such as daimyo or noble lords.

For someone like Gato, born into a commoner with no background or status, to rise from nothing to become a well-known landowner in the ninja world is an extremely difficult feat.

But he actually did it. Although many high-class rogue ninjas and legitimate businessmen looked down on his methods of making money, and even considered them shameful, the fact that he could become so powerful and influential in the ninja world as a mortal, and even be able to handle such wealth, shows how amazing his methods were.

If Zhen Dou put himself in Kado's shoes, he would definitely not have the ability to reach Kado's level if he started his business from the same point.

Look at his entourage, he's even more powerful than those big names. Looking across the bridge, you can see his henchmen all over the city. Although they're all shabby and ugly, they carry all sorts of random weapons, some of which are even rusty and have been through many hands.

However, it seemed that Cardo, a small man, looked quite imposing as he shouted in the crowd.

"Holy crap! There are so many people, what are we going to do, Kakashi-sensei?"

Seeing that Kado had so many underlings, even the easygoing savior was startled and gripped his kunai tightly.

"...Let's prepare to go all out and protect our employer."

Kakashi felt a headache coming on as he looked at the densely packed heads in front of him. Although they were all just a bunch of nobodies, there were just too many of them. As the saying goes, even ants can eat an elephant if there are enough of them, not to mention that he wasn't exactly a team-fight type of player.

Although the old man was there, it was impossible for him to ask the old man for help. After all, it was Konoha's mission. If they couldn't handle it themselves, why would they ask Sunagakure for help? Would Konoha have any shame?

Does this Konoha technician have no shame?

949. Nine-Tailed Fox: Isn't this little rascal old?

"Damn it, I told you not to bother me so I could have a good cry, are you deaf?"

"boom!"

"Bang bang bang...!"

"Snap..."

Just as Kakashi and the Saviors were tightly gripping their kunai, preparing to "sacrifice their lives," a terrifying aura suddenly descended, almost causing them to lose their footing. Then, countless cracks appeared on the bridge caused by the aura, and immediately all the deformed and grotesque people that Kado had brought turned their eyes back and lay unconscious on the ground.

Kakashi: !!!

The second male lead in pants: (||?Д?).

Savior: 0ДQ

Pink-headed girl: っ?Д?)っ

"Wow... Wow... So amazing!"

Kakashi had never seen this scene before, but his father had told him about it, so he was mentally prepared and was only slightly surprised, not too shocked. After all, the Third Raikage was over sixty years old and could take on ten thousand people single-handedly, so this old guy had plenty of ways to deal with these nobodies. He was just surprised that the old guy's aura was so amazing that it could actually cause physical damage.

Although powerful individuals with strong chakra can cause physical damage by unleashing their chakra, such as their First Hokage, this aura is completely different from chakra. Aura is something intangible, while chakra is tangible. So even though he had heard his father say that this old guy had this skill, he was still shocked to see it with his own eyes.

But it's different for others.

His sheer presence alone was enough to overpower so many people, and looking at the countless cracks on the bridge, his pupils dilated in disbelief.

"Is this the power of the number one ninja in the world...?"

Seeing this, the second male lead, looking back at the previously deranged old man, was speechless with shock. At this moment, he finally understood the power of a legendary ninja. To be able to defeat so many people simply with sheer aura, coupled with the immense visual impact of the countless cracks in the bridge, was truly astounding. He had initially thought the man he was about to kill was already incredibly powerful, but to create such an effect with just his aura—no wonder he was called the number one ninja in the world…

"That little rascal still has such a strong presence... but isn't he getting old?"

The Nine-Tails, still inside the Savior's belly, was also awakened from its dream by this aura. A tightness gripped its chest; although it felt no real harm, this sensation was even more unbearable than when Hashirama Senju, that scoundrel, drained its fur and turned it into a dried fox...

However, this puzzled Kurama again. It had lived a carefree life in the ninja world for hundreds of years. Although it was not highly educated, it had seen a lot of people. Apart from the Uzumaki and Senju clans, who were more resistant to aging due to their strong chakra and vitality, most people would experience a decline in strength once they aged. But if Kurama remembered correctly, this kid was already in his fifties, right?

Judging from its overall presence, it seems unchanged, almost the same as it was more than a decade ago. This shouldn't be the case.

Could this little brat be Hashirama Senju's illegitimate son?

"Hahaha, sorry, it's been a long time since I've had such a burst of energy, I couldn't control myself... Huh? Kurama, you're awake? Long time no see, my brother Shukaku has missed you terribly!"

Seeing the kids around him trembling with fear at his aura, he awkwardly scratched the back of his head. Then he heard a long-lost voice coming from inside the Savior's stomach. Masato spoke to the Savior's stomach, whose legs were still shaking.

Putting everything else aside, the current savior is really pathetic, at least compared to the second male lead in the story. The second male lead in the story can still keep his legs from trembling under the influence of the savior's aura, while the savior would have been terrified to the ground long ago if it weren't for the half of the Nine-Tails protecting him. Although he has already unlocked half of his power-up and learned his signature skill of summoning minions, he still hasn't met Jiraiya yet.

"????"

The little devils looked at him with confusion, then at the savior's belly, wondering who this mighty old man was talking to.

"Hmph! Does that idiot want me to kill it?"

The nine-tailed fox inside the savior's belly arrogantly raised its head and said disdainfully.

"Haha, no, you don't know. My brother Shukaku heard that some stupid kid became your jinchūriki, so he also condescended to ask me to find him a genius boy to become his jinchūriki, hoping that his jinchūriki would one day defeat yours and let you see who's the boss... I'll tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone I told you, okay? That fat cat Shukaku is too cunning. That kid received his elite education when he was only three years old. As for his strength now... he probably could take on one or two Jonin single-handedly without any problem. But your jinchūriki is a bit weak..."

Shindou's eyes darted around, and he spoke to the Savior's stomach in a tattletale-like manner.

He knew that Kurama was a bit of a tsundere, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten his revenge after being beaten up by Obito when he was under Obito's control.

"What?! You despicable, shameless, and vile bastard! (▼he▼メ)"

Sure enough, upon hearing Masato say that the fat cat was so despicable, the Nine-Tails inside the Savior's belly began to erupt. A powerful and wild red chakra suddenly burst out from the Savior's body. The Savior was completely unable to withstand this burst and was still in a daze, his eyes rolling back.

However, the Nine-Tails doesn't care about any of that. It has always considered itself the leader of the Tailed Beasts and has never been afraid of challenges. Even if its eight underlings joined forces, they were no match for it. It had fought them hundreds of years ago, and before it could even deal with them, those underlings had already fallen.

But it never expected that its youngest brother, the fat cat, which it also hated the most, would challenge it in such a despicable way.

It's a disgrace to the Tailed Beasts that they can't do it themselves and have to ask others to do it for them!

It has been living inside Kushina Uzumaki's son for so many years. Although it sleeps most of the time, how could it not know what kind of person this brat is? Even without its chakra causing trouble, this idiot is still an idiot. It is impossible to tell that he is the offspring of Konoha genius Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

Moreover, that bastard Fat Cat started teaching his brat when he was only three years old. Although he looked down on that wretched cat's strength, they were still his own brothers. Having lived for so many years, Fat Cat had a keen eye for talent, and the brat that this little bastard called a genius was naturally not bad either.

And look at this brat... The Nine-Tailed Fox grew angrier the more it thought about it; it was already at a disadvantage from the start...

950. Karin: Wow! He's really handsome!

"Oh no! Old man, stop talking and get Naruto under control!"

Kakashi really wanted to stab this old guy to death right then and there. He knew that running into this old guy would never end well. Why did he have to provoke Kurama?

He was already terrified when Naruto self-harmed and Kurama's chakra leaked out. And then this old guy came to provoke Kurama. More than ten years have passed. Who knows if this old guy can still protect him? Even if he can, Naruto is still his teacher's son. What if something goes wrong?

"Calm down. Kurama is the top dog in the Tailed Beast world, a high-end species, and a Tailed Beast with good manners. Can't you see we are having a friendly exchange? How did your father raise you? You're so old and still so impetuous. I really regret not bringing you back to Sunagakure so I could personally teach you. It was a mistake to let your father teach you."

Looking at the nervous Kakashi, Masato said in an annoyed tone.

The old man is right here, what are you panicking for? With just half a nine-tailed fox, it would only get beaten up if it came out.

He just wanted to see if the relationship between Nine-Tails and Fat Cat was as bad as rumored, and now it's confirmed. Nine-Tails and Fat Cat really are quite similar; one gets worked up the moment they see Nine-Tails, and Nine-Tails gets angry the moment they see Fat Cat...

"......"

Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes, speechless. "I'm the heir of the Hatake clan, the crown prince of the Konoha Anbu! My dad must be crazy to let you take me to Sunagakure..."

"So powerful... What's going on?"

The kids were shocked to see a terrifying chakra suddenly emanating from the savior, who was rolling his eyes. This was especially true for the savior's two friends, the second male lead and the pink-haired girl. They had been classmates with Naruto for so many years, and this was the first time they had ever seen Naruto in this state.

The second male lead, however, was devastated. He had always pursued power and wanted to take revenge on that man since he was a child. He was always the "other people's child" that everyone talked about, and he considered himself the undisputed No. 1 among his companions. But now, Naruto, the loser, was unleashing a power that made his legs go weak. The contrast was just too great.

Wow! He's so handsome! (●???)

At that moment, Mizuki Haku's mask was suddenly blown away by the Nine-Tails' burst of chakra, revealing her fairy-like pretty face. Karin, who was not affected by the Nine-Tails' burst of chakra, was probably too familiar with this kind of chakra. After all, her mother had a Seven-Tails in her belly, and she would occasionally chat with the Seven-Tails. So she saw Karin staring at him curiously, wondering how handsome her great-uncle was.

I absolutely love it.

"Kakashi-sensei, what's wrong with Naruto? That... it seems like he's talking to Naruto's stomach."

Only the second male lead with pants, the pink-haired girl, and Mizuki Haku stared intently at the savior lying on the ground, completely stunned by the Nine-Tails' outburst. As expected of a friend, the pink-haired girl asked Kakashi with great concern.

"...Naruto's body was sealed with a sealing jutsu for some reason. Just now, the sealing jutsu was unstable, and the things inside his body were stimulated by this old guy. But it seems that he is fine."

"Let's go, our mission isn't finished yet, let's take the employer home first."

The existence of Jinchuriki is a top secret of the village, and Kakashi naturally couldn't tell anyone, so he came up with this barely plausible reason. Afterwards, Kakashi didn't give the old man another chance to provoke Kurama, and carried the savior on his shoulder towards the bridge.

Fortunately, judging from the situation, the seal had just encountered a problem and it wasn't too serious yet. At least the Nine-Tails had stopped erupting after just one burst. However, he still needed to hurry back to the village to reinforce the seal and didn't have time to joke around with this old guy.

"Tch! He's becoming less and less like me... If it weren't for that white hair, I'd suspect he might be a member of the Hatake clan... Hey! Karin, be more reserved. We're outside. Let's talk about this back home."

As Masato watched Kakashi's retreating figure, he suddenly saw Karin almost pounce on Haku and start licking the screen, so he quickly pulled her back.

.....

"Kakashi-sensei, why did that Golden Lion call you nephew? Aren't they from Sunagakure? They seem to know you quite well."

Masato, along with Mizuki Haku and Karin, made a hasty retreat. Kakashi's team of four, after taking the old man from the Land of Waves home, rushed to the bridge to deal with Gato and his underlings, who had been knocked unconscious by the aura. Since the underlings were knocked unconscious, Kakashi's team easily threw them all into the sea. They would hand Gato over to the people from the Land of Waves later before hurrying back to Konoha. After all, the burst of chakra from the Nine-Tails earlier had made Kakashi extremely nervous, and now that the old man was gone, he couldn't protect him if the Nine-Tails were to escape.

On the way back, the pink-haired girl asked Kakashi curiously, "The school textbooks say that Konoha doesn't have a good relationship with other villages, especially Sunagakure, which is right next to Konoha."

But the legendary ninja from Sunagakure, Shiki, seems to be very close to their teacher Kakashi, calling him "my nephew" all the time.

"...Because his relationship with my father is quite complicated. They both debuted around the same time and went to the battlefield at the age of nine. My father was also on the battlefield in Sunagakure at that time, and that's probably when we met. Over the decades, the two have fought countless times. They can be considered both enemies and friends. During the war, they served their respective masters, and it's hard to say who was right and who was wrong. However, in peacetime, there isn't so much distinction between friend and foe. Everyone goes their own way. Our Konoha is a forbidden area for many other villages' ninjas, but for this old guy, it's like his backyard. He's come to my house quite often over the years. I was just over three years old when I first met him."

Kakashi shrugged; he didn't know how to explain this complicated situation to the three kids.

After all, even he couldn't understand how his usually shocking father could have such a quirky friend. To be honest, the two of them seemed completely different.

They just happened to hit it off.

Just like his best friend, considering his early fame and status as a top genius in Konoha, he seems to be a completely different type of person from his idiot best friend...

"The adult world is so complicated..."

The savior and the pink-haired girl were also completely confused, but there was one thing they understood: the Golden Lion and Kakashi's father, White Fang, had known each other since childhood, and instead of becoming enemies, they had become friends...

There really is kindness everywhere in the world.

951. Minazuki is a true demon.

"...Brother, you took Karin out just to bring back this little...young boy, Minazuki. What are your plans? Rasa can't wait..."

In Sunagakure, Sasori's father, seeing his beloved granddaughter skipping the ninja squad's assembly and almost forgetting she was still a ninja, was seeing her inseparable from a boy even more monstrous than his son, and he felt a toothache.

It has to be said that the Minazuki clan is truly prodigy. Even knowing that this is a boy, people still habitually call him by the wrong name because of his pretty face that makes it hard to tell if he is male or female.

If his son was handsome, this little boy was truly beautiful, with a kind of feminine beauty. Seeing his precious granddaughter clinging tightly to a "big sister" who was even more beautiful than she looked, looking like he wanted to lick the screen, the handsome Scorpion's father felt awkward no matter how he looked at it.

I have a feeling that there's something wrong with my precious granddaughter's sexual orientation.
