Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"That's the difference between hairless primates and ordinary animals. When people are in danger, the chances of unleashing their potential are much higher than for ordinary animals. At the same time, they can also increase their upper limit afterward. Sasuke, how about it? Want to go up and give it a try? Fortune favors the bold, and the more dangerous the environment, the faster your strength grows. I remember back in Konoha during the Nine-Tails' night, your older brother didn't run to the safe zone. Instead, he carried you around rescuing people and watched me and the Nine-Tails destroy our house up close. From that moment on, I knew that this kid was destined to be awesome because he was brave! He was only five or six years old back then..."

After Shindou unified the mess, he looked at the second male lead in his pants and raised an eyebrow, trying to fool him.

To be honest, he had never actually seen the second male lead and the savior in a love-hate relationship before. He figured he might as well take this opportunity to see it and take some photos as souvenirs. It was already a big regret that he couldn't capture the iconic kiss from the original story.

"Humph!"

Sure enough, the second male lead in the pants was immediately provoked when he heard the words "that brother". Without waiting for Snake Uncle to speak, he grabbed his weapon and charged forward with the speed and agility of a dragon.

Throughout the process, the second male lead in the pants had a determined look in his eyes: if that man can do it, so can I!

"..."

Snake, coming to his senses, stared speechlessly at the retreating figure of the second male lead, Kuku, without saying a word. The reason he brought Kuku out was because, although Kuku had made rapid progress under his guidance, he was still unable to evolve to the three-tomoe stage, possibly due to a lack of mental fortitude and susceptibility to external influences. So, he brought him out to try and stimulate him to see if he could evolve to the three-tomoe stage. Originally, he had planned to find an opportunity for Kuku to have a match with his best friend, but now it seemed unnecessary. A match with an artificial tailed beast might not be so bad.

"Sasuke!"

One best friend for life. The savior, who was supporting Kakashi with absolutely no chemistry, suddenly saw a figure in pants rush into the battle. He didn't even need to look; he could instinctively recognize who it was just by looking at the butt.

Overjoyed, he even forgot to play support for Kakashi.

"Stop talking nonsense, attack! Fire Release: Fire Style..."

The two men in pants are always like this, both in front of and behind others. Plus, they've been working under Orochimaru for a while now, developing their Escape Technique to perfection. They're born for big scenes, and the bigger the scene, the more pantsy they are. In their habitual Uchiha-style opening, they unleash their ancestral Great Fireball Technique. Whether it works or not doesn't matter. The main thing is that they just got hit by Kakashi's barrage of attacks, and it's all about looking cool!

A single ancestral fireball acted as a key to unlock the perfected technique, instantly activating the fully refined technique. In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, and gods and ghosts wept. A dense aura, almost condensed into liquid, erupted from the second male lead's body, catching everyone off guard.

"...What's wrong with this kid? The Uchiha's Fireball Jutsu has this effect? ​​(⊙_⊙)?"

Even Masato was bewildered by the second male lead's actions, looking at Snake with a completely confused expression.

“…”

Snake shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

.....

With the addition of the second male lead from the Pants, Orochi, who was already evenly matched with Kakashi in a small burst of power, became less and less interesting due to the tacit cooperation between the second male lead and Kakashi. There was no need for the savior to call upon his Nine-Tails grandfather. In just over ten minutes, Orochi was pierced through the heart by the two Pants' Chidori from the front and back, and finally collapsed helplessly on the ground.

With their common enemy dealt with, it was time for the two best buddies to have their love-hate relationship. Just as Shinto pulled out his camera to witness history, an old man suddenly jumped out, shattering the atmosphere that the savior and the second male lead had painstakingly created. This old man was quite ruthless; despite his advanced age, he still maintained a strong drive to improve himself. While everyone was wondering why this old man had come to ruin the atmosphere, he somehow managed to forcefully stuff such a huge snake into his own body. This scene was remarkably similar to Madara swallowing the Ten-Tails in the future. Then, somehow, he somehow rejuvenated himself, becoming decades younger.

This effect was even more amazing than Orochimaru's possession technique, leaving both Shinto and Orochimaru, who were watching from afar, completely stunned.

The young old friend seemed to enjoy the gazes of these people, and began to boast in front of Kakashi and the others about how amazing he was and how talented he was. It took several episodes to tell the story of his life as an ordinary person. In short, in his story, he was an ordinary yet extraordinary person who experienced a magnificent life.

Perhaps it was because this old man who had become younger was talking too much before he had reached the full level of verbal prowess, which deeply provoked the savior who had already developed his verbal prowess to a superb level. Seeing someone daring to show off his verbal skills in front of him, the master of verbal skills, how could he tolerate it? When it comes to verbal skills, Naruto Uzumaki is the undisputed champion!

However, the savior was quite virtuous. After the young old man finished his verbal sparring, he unleashed his ultimate move bestowed upon him by heaven, frantically applying various weakening and intelligence-reducing auras to the old man. In the end, he instantly defeated the old man with full health. The old man, who was defeated by the verbal sparring, was also stubborn and immediately changed his strategy, unleashing his ultimate move, which he had somehow stolen and claimed to be unprecedented and unparalleled, a move that would shake the heavens and move the earth.

The Eight Gates are harmless!

After activating his ultimate skill, the old man instantly regained full health and once again joined forces with the savior.

Is this the highest mountain in the world, or is there another place higher than the sky?

There are always mountains higher than this one; when it comes to the most powerful verbal sparring, look to today...

In this situation, Kakashi, who was originally the core of the team, and the second male lead, because the Hatake clan and the Uchiha clan always prefer action to talk, were naturally not good at verbal sparring, they had to hand over the core leadership to the savior. Kakashi was temporarily assigned to be the on-site commentator...

1057. What the hell is this, the Eight Gates without taking damage?

To be honest, Kakashi's talking skills are terrible; he can't seize any opportunities. On the contrary, Hiruzen Sarutobi's good-for-nothing youngest son performed quite well, giving all the good students a new explanation of how awesome the Eight Gates are! He's nowhere near as good as that drunken boxing kid, Lee. Once all eight gates are opened, he can punch the moon to pieces. Then everyone marveled at how sharp the old man was, causing a stir among the group of kids around him, who were filled with shock, awe, and amazement.

Seeing that our morale was being affected and was steadily declining, Kakashi launched another saga of Konoha's unwavering spirit of never abandoning, never giving up, never bowing to evil forces, knowingly venturing into danger, and sacrificing oneself for the greater good. Then, the savior activated his ultimate verbal sparring passive skill, showering his allies with a series of buffs: defensive auras, life auras, speed auras, immunity auras, critical hit auras... and so on. The real war was about to erupt!

Just as the atmosphere between the two sides reached its peak, and the Konoha brats, adorned with various halos, were preparing to sacrifice themselves for the village!

"boom!"

Has the world become quiet...?

"Aren't you guys tired? Why all the drama over a fight? It's like a life-or-death situation. And you old codger, what the hell is this 'Invincible Eight Gates' nonsense? Are you looking down on me or my idol? Invincible Eight Gates, huh? I'll show you invincible, I'll show you invincible..."

"Bang bang bang...!"

Shindou unleashed a brutal beating on the old man who had become a human Jinchūriki, lying on the ground. This time, he held nothing back, determined to beat him into a complete idiot.

This old guy's bragging is one thing, but he actually insulted his idol! Even an uncle or aunt can't stand it! His idol was almost kicked out of the finale by the Eight Gates Night Guy, and in the end, he couldn't withstand the green-skinned Guy. This old man actually managed to unleash the Eight Gates without any damage, and he even talked about it so arrogantly. Isn't this just looking down on his idol, Madara?

Back then, he went to great lengths to trick the green-skinned guy into giving him the Eight Gates for his beloved disciple, "Conan's dad." Is this old guy looking down on him, Master Dou?

This level of damage-free Eight Gates is even worse than his beloved disciple "Conan's dad's" Six Gates, let alone Eight Gates...

"…Asuma-sensei, what did you just say… that the Eight Gates are very powerful…?"

The kids who had been listening to Asuma's boasting looked at the scene before them with beady eyes. They had just heard Asuma-sensei brag so much, even the Savior was ready to raise the village flag, but before the fight even started, this tough old man from Sunagakure had given them a good beating. They didn't see how powerful he was at all.

What happened to the promise of splitting mountains and shattering the heavens with a single punch...?

"this....."

Asuma looked up at the sky speechlessly. He had no idea what was going on. In his memory, the Eight Gates were indeed very powerful. Might Guy's father could kill with a single kick after opening only seven gates. And this old guy's disciple, "Sunagakure Green Light," could hold his own against the Fourth Hokage with only six gates until the Fourth Hokage ran out of chakra.

Who knows what's going on with this bragging old man? The special effects are all exactly the same...

"The true Eight Gates Released Formation is indeed as powerful as Asuma described, or even stronger. However, so far, only Might Guy's father, Uncle Dai, has ever opened up to the seventh gate, and his disciple, 'Sunagakure Green Light,' opened up to the sixth gate. Therefore, no one knows what the final gate, the Gate of Death, is like. However, it's said to have power dozens or even hundreds of times greater than a Kage's. But this 'Invincible Eight Gates' is probably not the true Eight Gates Released Formation. After all, with the Eight Gates Released Formation, after the third gate, the body has to withstand the sudden burst of power with each subsequent gate..."

Kakashi was a top student, and although his grades weren't as impressive as Orochimaru's, he was still once the top student in the entire school. In addition, his family owned the Eight Gates Formation, and he had seen it before, so he knew more about it than these people. It was precisely because he knew the Eight Gates Formation that he was fooled by this old guy's injury-free Eight Gates and didn't think of it earlier.

Looking back now, it's truly shameful. Kakashi debuted at five and has been in the ninja world for twenty years. He's seen everything, from giant snakes to pooping, and now he's been intimidated by a little old man...

"Not enough... Why is this guy here too? Did Sunagakure get bombed as well?"

Asuma glanced at Kakashi as he watched the blond old man beating up the little old man. His relationship with this blond old man wasn't exactly friendly; he'd even collected protection money from him when they were kids. Plus, the old man had such a foul mouth, and Asuma clearly didn't want to provoke him. He couldn't beat him in a fight, and he couldn't win an argument either—it was a really unpleasant situation…

It was best to have Kakashi, the old man's nephew, handle the communication with him.

"...Why did you come here instead of staying in Sunagakure? Was it also for this guy?"

Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes, but it seemed like he was the only one present who was familiar with this old guy...

"I was just bored and was thinking of going to Konoha to find Tsunade and build up our relationship, but as soon as I got to the Land of Fire, I saw your bases being bombed by these flying fighter jets. I thought it was pretty novel, so I came to check it out. But nephew, no offense, but your old man was already evenly matched with me when he was nine, and he was already slaying a Kage-level monster when he was twelve. He's even stronger than Asuma's lecherous father. And you're already in your mid-twenties, and you're still evenly matched with a weak tailed beast..."

Shinto picked up the idiot from the ground and said to Kakashi with a look of great disappointment.

"...that old bastard."

Kakashi didn't care about what he said, since he was used to it since he was a child. However, Asuma next door gritted his teeth, and the chakra in his hands was glowing green, as if he wanted to start a fight.

No one can help but feel uncomfortable if someone talks about their father to their face.

"Asuma-sensei, calm down, you can't beat him..."

Nara's little rocket launcher saw his teacher take out a knife again and quickly tried to dissuade him.

"I'm off now, I need to go back and figure out how this tailed beast came to be. Sayonara.....!"

Shindou hoisted the idiot onto his shoulder, waved, and disappeared from the spot.

.......

Masato left, but he didn't go far. He went to the place where he and Orochimaru had watched the battle before, took out his camera, and prepared to wait for the upcoming love-hate relationship between the savior and the second male lead. On the contrary, Orochimaru left after drawing some dark chakra. He wasn't interested in the love-hate relationship between the savior and the second male lead. After all, he also had good buddies, and he had experienced too many of these kinds of plots.

Instead of wasting time, Snake might as well go back and solve the problem of the Corpse Sealing Technique. As for the second male lead, Snake isn't worried at all. Snake's control over human nature is quite good. Before the second male lead reaches the strength to take revenge, Snake will still go back to find him.

1058. Next time you fight, don't yell and shout; it doesn't suit your persona.

"Kakashi-sensei, he just said he was going to Konoha to see Lady Tsunade? What's their relationship?"

At this moment, the girl with pink hair was burning with gossip. She had just heard the Sand Village's Golden Lion say that he was going to Konoha to cultivate his relationship with Lady Tsunade. A strong wind of gossip swept over her, making her completely forget the joy of seeing her idol Sasuke again.

"..."

Kakashi fell silent for a moment. After all, Kakashi was his father's friend, and there were some things he shouldn't say, especially since he wasn't the type to talk behind people's backs.

You can't exactly say that this single guy has been trying to woo Tsunade for decades and still hasn't succeeded, can you?

"It's no secret. This old guy has been pursuing Lady Tsunade since he was a teenager, for decades. Don't let his fighting skills fool you; his womanizing skills are ridiculously weak... He hasn't managed to win Lady Tsunade's heart after all these years."

Kakashi hesitated to speak, but Asuma, on the other hand, had no such reservations and said dismissively.

He completely recalled that he was also a simp when he was young, but now he's moved on...

"Wow! I never expected the Golden Lion to be so devoted!!!"

Shock!

The group of kids seemed to be hearing this kind of gossip for the first time, and they were quite surprised.

However... Asuma-sensei is right. It's true that it's a bit short-lived to try and woo a girl for decades without success. Even if Tsunade-sama has a bad temper and even if the Hokage is often beaten up, decades is still too long.

Is pursuing girls really that hard...? [?_??]

Nara's little rocket launcher couldn't help but stroke his chin with curiosity...

...

"Sasuke!"

"Naruto!"

"Sasuke!"

"Naruto!"

"Sasuke!"

"Naruto!"

"..."

Meanwhile, the Savior and the second male lead, who was in pants, didn't participate in the gossip. The two were chatting away, mainly the Savior. Ever since the second male lead entered, the Savior had been exchanging barbs with him. Although the Savior's verbal skills were impressive, they weren't quite at their peak. On the other hand, the second male lead's ability to feign ignorance, thanks to Snake's careful guidance and his own hard work, had reached a near-divine level. He was 50% immune to the Savior's verbal attacks, and no matter how much the Savior chattered, the second male lead remained unmoved.

Let him talk, the breeze caresses the mountain ridge; let him fire, the bright moon shines on the great river...

In the end, the savior's most sharp verbal attack was ineffective. Instead, he was affected by the second male lead's pretentious escape and his emotions began to become inexplicably impatient. When the second male lead saw the savior's posture, he knew that a fight was about to break out!

When it comes to fighting, Sasuke, the top student in the entire Uchiha school, has never been afraid of anyone. Plus, he's made rapid progress at Orochimaru's youth training center recently, so he'll show this loser what it's like—they're from completely different worlds now...

Young people are just that hot-tempered. They start fighting without warning. Aside from shouting each other's names to express their feelings, there's absolutely no foreplay. The scene made Masato, who was taking pictures in the distance, quite embarrassed. The second male lead, who is not usually one to shout, was unknowingly infected by the ship's behavior. By the time everyone realized what was happening, it was too late. The savior's dumpling-making technique and the second male lead's chidori technique had already clashed.

This battle was different from the one more than a year ago. During the Konoha Joint Exams more than a year ago, the Nine-Tails had just beaten up the fat cat. Afterwards, when he went to track down his best friend at the Valley of the End, the Savior's body simply couldn't withstand any more of the Nine-Tails' power. Coincidentally, at that time, the second male lead of the Pants also unleashed the power of the Heaven's Seal that Orochimaru had planted on him. With the power of one rising and the other falling, the Savior was indeed no match for the second male lead of the Pants at that time.

Now that the savior has been with Jiraiya for a while, although his ninjutsu skills haven't been particularly fancy, his strength has definitely improved. In addition, his relationship with the Nine-Tails in his belly has gradually warmed up, and they are currently in their honeymoon period. With the Nine-Tails, an old fox who has lived for hundreds of years, around, although he only knows a couple of moves, he is still able to hold his own against the second male lead who has a wide variety of tricks up his sleeve. The battle between the two has become increasingly intense, and in the end, the two, who were completely engrossed in their own battles, one summoned the Nine-Tails, and the other directly activated the Heaven's Seal.
