Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Having spent so many years out there, he was no longer the impetuous young Asuma, but a mature and composed one...

.....

"Damn it, Boss Kakuzu, why are you leaving before we've even finished them off?"

Hidan, who was dragged away by Kakuzu, was still making a scene and was quite unhappy. He had been beaten up by a group of people for so long, and instead of killing the Third Hokage's son to improve his reputation, he had been beaten up for nothing. It would be strange if he was happy.

"...Idiot, that's Konoha territory. If we haven't dealt with them for so long, it'll be troublesome when White Fang comes. We still have things to do. Don't delay Pain's important matter. As long as we succeed, do you still worry about not being famous? Remember what I told you? If you're going to have trouble, I've been working hard for decades to become famous. How long have you been working hard? Don't be in a hurry. You don't even have this much patience. Even if you become famous, what good will it do?"

"Look at how many people in the ninja world suddenly become famous, only to fade away in two or three years. Why? It's because they can't seize the opportunity, they can't hold on. Those who remain famous for decades, who among them didn't maintain a low profile for a long time? Look at Sasori, he's already so famous, yet he still hides in his shell and doesn't show his face. And Itachi Uchiha, he always wears a straw hat when he goes out, doesn't he? If you're so impatient, even if you become famous, you won't last two or three years before fading away. Take my advice, brother, be steady and methodical, don't rush..."

In front of his younger brother, Kakuzu absolutely could not admit that he was afraid of death, otherwise how could he lead his younger brother in the future?

"Wow! I never knew there was so much truth in this. What else? What else....?"

Once again, Hidan was captivated by his older brother's life philosophy. The immortal Hidan immediately put aside his previous annoyance at being beaten up and took out a pen and notebook to start taking notes seriously.

This is the life experience of an old man who has been around for decades!

This is exactly what a newcomer like him, who has only recently debuted, needs most.

"...That's all for now. Focus on mastering what I taught you today. Review it thoroughly every night before bed, prop your head up with your pillow, and we'll talk about the rest when we have more time..."

Being a teacher in the classroom feels fucking awesome.

A sense of mission immediately arose within him. Looking at his humble and eager-to-learn younger brother, Kakuzu felt immensely gratified. He couldn't help but think that if there truly were a world of peace, becoming a teacher somewhere wouldn't be a bad idea...

......

"Sigh... It seems the Akatsuki is going to make a move against the Eight-Tails of Kumogakure. We've received word that Sasuke Uchiha is challenging Itachi Uchiha to a duel. Kakashi, you guys should go check it out."

In Konoha Village, Nawaki, who had become increasingly composed since becoming Hokage and was developing in the direction of Hiruzen Sarutobi, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kakashi and Asuma return safely.

In the end, I became the kind of person I hated.

Right now, the village's top combat power consists of White Fang and his older sister. The only other red-armored soldiers who can be of significant use are Kakashi and Asuma. If they were to die, it would be a huge loss.

It's obvious to anyone that Kakuzu and the immortal Hidan went to the Land of Lightning.

However, given the Fourth Raikage's personality, it would be unnecessary to warn them to be careful. Moreover, seeing how confident the Raikage was during the Five Kage's video conference, they probably already hid the Eight-Tails well. Although it wasn't as safe as Konoha sending Naruto to the Toad Cave for training, the exposure shouldn't be very high either.

Now he's more worried about the One-Tailed and Seven-Tailed creatures from Sunagakure.

Previously, my future brother-in-law and Iwagakure's Iwagakure brought Sasori and Deidara, this artistic duo, back to the village. Although this weakened the Akatsuki's strength to some extent, according to intelligence, the Akatsuki's leader possesses the legendary Rinnegan. It's really hard to determine just how powerful he is. Anyway, my brother Jiraiya was defeated by this Akatsuki leader. I wonder if Sunagakure can handle it.

Although my future brother-in-law can still fight, he can't fight against four hands!

Finally, there's the news about Uchiha Sasuke, who killed his older brother Orochimaru. This kid, perhaps feeling invincible after stealing Orochimaru's life, dared to challenge Uchiha Itachi, who had risen to the rank of Double Flower Red Staff at the age of twelve. Frankly, I don't think Uchiha Sasuke can defeat Uchiha Itachi. The fact that Uchiha Sasuke killed his older brother Orochimaru makes his attitude towards Uchiha Sasuke somewhat conflicted, just like his attitude towards Orochimaru back then.

Orochimaru was actually his teacher, and he had taken good care of him over the years. After he left Konoha with his older sister, Orochimaru would have the White Snake bring him pocket money every month, and he even gave him two Kusanagi swords.

But Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage who cared about him, and now Sasuke Uchiha has killed Orochimaru's older brother. Naruto, Kakashi, and the disciple his older sister recently took in have too deep a bond with Sasuke Uchiha.

The relationships were a mess, giving him a headache. Sasuke Uchiha had been away from Konoha for so long that, logically speaking, he should have met the criteria for being a rogue ninja long ago. However, Naruto and Kakashi had been holding him back, so he couldn't easily determine whether Sasuke Uchiha was a rogue ninja. Therefore, he was thinking of having Kakashi go find Sasuke Uchiha and bring him back before Itachi Uchiha killed him.

The ninja world is currently in crisis; we must unite all forces that can be united...

1110. The second male lead is going against the world!

"Huh?! That brat Sasuke Uchiha is brimming with confidence after killing Orochimaru, he's even challenging Itachi Uchiha to a duel..."

The ninja world has been in turmoil lately, as if everyone wants to be on the front page. The headline of Sasori's one-man showdown with 10,000 Mist Ninja had barely been up for two weeks when it was immediately overshadowed by the news of Sasuke Uchiha challenging Itachi Uchiha, the two brothers, to a major battle.

In an instant, a new wave of disdain swept through the ninja world.

How popular is Itachi Uchiha?

Even the renownedly handsome Sasori couldn't overshadow Itachi Uchiha's brilliance. In fact, Itachi might even surpass Sasori in popularity. Sasori, after all, spent most of his time hiding in his shell, and many people only saw photos of him from years ago. As the saying goes, people change a lot as they grow up, and few have seen what Sasori looks like now. Itachi, on the other hand, wasn't just about looks. He possessed an unparalleled charisma, and even the wives of several powerful daimyo were fans of Itachi, some even offering exorbitant sums to invite him as a guest of honor...

If it were Uchiha Sasuke, although defeating Orochimaru would have given him some fame in the ninja world, it would be impossible for his news to overshadow Sasori and make headlines. However, with Uchiha Itachi's support and the sensationalism of brothers killing each other, it would be a different story.

Most people in the ninja world don't care whether Uchiha Sasuke seeks revenge or not. Living in the ninja world, there are blood feuds everywhere. Although a massacre of a clan is a big deal, it is not uncommon.

What they were more concerned about was whether Sasuke or Itachi would kill the older brother...

Even if Sasuke Uchiha could defeat Orochimaru, no one would consider Sasuke Uchiha a match for Itachi Uchiha.

Many people even suspect that there might have been some shady dealings involved in Sasuke Uchiha's victory over Orochimaru, with him using underhanded tactics.

After all, Orochi's name is deeply ingrained in people's minds. He single-handedly defeated the Third Hokage of Konoha, and he could even summon the two Senju brothers to fight him. Just thinking about that kind of feat sends chills down your spine...

Even the Mizukage, who was far away in Kirigakure, thought that Sasuke Uchiha was being arrogant when she heard the news.

She had witnessed Itachi's power when she led her men to pursue him. The memory of that red giant, wielding two divine weapons, whom she and her group of underlings couldn't defeat, still filled her with a sense of helplessness.

......

"Old man, let me out! I want to watch Itachi's duel...! (*｀Ω′*)v"

In Iwagakure, Kurotsuchi, who was confined to the Tsuchikage Tower by Onoki's barrier, was making a huge fuss. Her Itachi was about to have a duel, and how could she miss such a grand occasion?

Unfortunately, her grandfather's barrier was too strong, and no matter what she did, she couldn't break through this damned barrier.

"You're not allowed to go! It's dangerous outside right now. You stay in the village and don't go anywhere!"

Onoki had a splitting headache. It was that damned Uchiha brat again! He couldn't understand what was so great about that brat that had captivated his precious granddaughter to such an extent. Even the daughter of a former daimyo wanted that Uchiha brat to marry into their Land of Earth and become their daimyo...

Their Land of Earth daimyo died last month. This daimyo wasn't as extravagant as the previous one who lost hundreds of billions, but perhaps due to poor health, he had still been quite reckless over the years. However, besides a daughter in her thirties, he had no children. Now, he doesn't know who to choose as daimyo, so he's just hoping his daughter has a suitor he can kidnap and make her daimyo. But this thirty-something woman is a die-hard fan of that brat Uchiha Itachi, constantly mentioning him. He must be out of his mind to let that brat become daimyo.

Doesn't he know how damn much he hates the name Uchiha?

Onoki has been having a real headache lately. His precious disciple Deidara has returned, but he doesn't know if he's been brainwashed by the Akatsuki organization. No matter what he says, Deidara refuses to become a Tsuchikage candidate and insists on continuing to be a terrorist. The ideological and political education he crammed on recently is completely useless.

These are special times, and my precious granddaughter wants to run out and cheer for that little bastard Itachi Uchiha.

Although he also thought it was unlikely, Onoki really hoped that Sasuke Uchiha could kill that brat Itachi Uchiha...

........

"We're brothers, why are we fighting like this? How did two brothers end up like this...? With Itachi's popularity, Sasuke is practically fighting the world..."

The whole world is talking about the Uchiha brothers, and Sunagakure isn't leaving either. Although Karin has left the Uchiha Itachi fan club because of the return of the monstrous Haku and her beautiful father, there are still a lot of die-hard Itachi fans in Sunagakure. After the news of Sasuke Uchiha's duel with Itachi Uchiha reached Sunagakure, a large group of Itachi's female fans have started making voodoo dolls with Sasuke Uchiha written on them.

Even the toughest guy, Shinto, felt a chill run down his spine when he saw those little dolls covered in needles.

The second male lead in this drama is going to defy the world!

"Mmmmmmm..."

Handsome Scorpion's father and Ebizo and the others nodded in agreement.

The Sasuke Uchiha figurines are now sold out in the village. Almost everyone in the village, from women in their thirties to children as young as seven or eight, has one. And this is just in Sunagakure; this is just a glimpse into the whole picture. One can only imagine how many people throughout the entire ninja world are making Sasuke Uchiha figurines...

"But that brat Sasuke Uchiha doesn't seem like a brainless person. Does he really think that killing Orochimaru will allow him to kill Itachi Uchiha?"

Handsome Scorpion's father stroked his chin curiously. Someone who could kill the top scientist Orochimaru couldn't be brainless. If he were brainless, he would have become Orochimaru's fodder long ago. How could he possibly turn the tables and kill him?

However, Itachi Uchiha was the one who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. According to his son, even within the Akatsuki organization, apart from the Akatsuki leader who possessed the Rinnegan, even his son, who could fight tens of thousands of Kirigakure members, was not confident that he could go toe-to-toe with Itachi Uchiha. This gives you an idea of ​​just how powerful Itachi Uchiha was.

He also didn't think Sasuke could defeat the popular Itachi Uchiha. Even if he could, given Itachi's popularity in the ninja world, Sasuke would probably be torn apart by all the girls in the world...

1111. Nagato has grown up and can now use military strategy.

"What? You also want to watch those two brothers fight? Didn't you already leave the Uchiha Itachi fan club? Aren't you afraid your brother Bai will misunderstand?"

The topic of the duel between the two Uchiha brothers has become a heavy and hotly debated topic recently. Not to mention the fans of Itachi Uchiha, the male lead's mascot is already covered in needles and there's nothing left to poke.

Masato stared speechlessly at the red-haired girl who was acting coquettishly next to the handsome Sasori. He thought that this girl would settle down after having the devilish Bai, but it was obvious that she was planning to have her cake and eat it too.

"What?! Itachi was my idol once, so it's only natural to cheer him on! Dad... please take us there!!"

That's not all. Even Karin wanted to cheer on her former idol. She had met Uchiha Sasuke before. Apart from being cool, he had no redeeming qualities. Moreover, his constant posturing was too obvious and not as natural as Itachi's. Karin couldn't tolerate someone like that daring to challenge her idol. She was determined to watch Itachi beat up that pretentious show-off Uchiha Sasuke.

However, the little girl was very clever. She knew that the ninja world was in a special period and that the terrorist organization was making moves. She knew that it would be no use for her to whine to her great-grandmother and great-uncle. She might even get a beating from her mother.

But it's a different story when she tries to act cute with her handsome father. Lately, she's noticed that her mother is as gentle as a kitten in front of him, and at least her mother won't beat her if she acts cute with her father...

Moreover, this kind of thing can never be done alone, as one person is easily criticized. So, she dragged her best friend Temari, Kankuro with his painted face, and the monstrous Haku along. Gaara couldn't go out because of his sensitive identity. Temari and the others were very interested in the Uchiha brothers fighting on the same stage, and they couldn't resist Karin's constant nagging. So, they agreed to team up with her.

"...It would be good for you to see this kind of high-level game. I'll take you there tomorrow..."

Handsome Scorpion has changed.

Since returning to his family, he hasn't lost his persona, but spending more time with his daughter has revealed a tender side to this tough guy, especially when his daughter acts cute towards him. Handsome Scorpio is completely smitten with that.

He nodded seriously and said it with an air of importance.

"...I'm also quite interested in these two brothers fighting. I'll go too. Speaking of which...I was one of the guys I had high hopes for back then, but unfortunately the Uchiha clan was too reckless..."

Masato stroked his chin and said, "Judging from the situation, Nagato, who's hanging himself from the brink of death, probably wants to find out the whereabouts of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails before taking action. He probably won't come to Sunagakure to take down the One-Tails and Seven-Tails yet. It's boring sitting here. Why don't we go watch the Uchiha brothers have a fight..."

"Holy crap! An air raid! I wasted my time notifying Rasa...!"

As Masato was pondering this, he suddenly noticed several small black dots appearing in the sky and heading towards the village. He activated his Observation Haki to the fullest extent. "Who else could these be but the Six Paths Puppet?" Masato said to the monstrous Haku beside Karin, then pulled out the New Uchiha Greatsword and flew towards the small black dots.

I was just thinking that Nagato, who was hanging himself, wouldn't come back, but he's already here. This is not following the plot. Moreover, my Observation Haki not only allowed me to see the Six Paths Puppet, but also Uchiha Itachi and Kisame with the shark face, who had somehow infiltrated the village and were hiding in the shadows.

Wasn't Itachi Uchiha off to fight his brother?

Nagato's plan to hang herself was... a feint!

The two semi-literate people from back then have grown up and can even use military strategy...

"What happened... Holy crap! Sis, the Akatsuki are here! Sasori is taking Karin and the others to the refuge area!"

While retiring at home, Ebizo heard Masato's voice and was about to come out to see what was going on when he saw that Masato had already flown into the sky and there were several small black dots in the distance. He knew what had happened even with his own eyes. He yelled at the backyard to tell Sasori to take Karin and the others to safety, and then hurriedly ran out to evacuate the crowd.

Although he didn't know how powerful the Rinnegan was, a real fight with this bastard would be a huge spectacle, and evacuating the crowd was to prevent his village's people from being hacked to pieces by this bastard...

Not long after the monstrous Bai Gang left, alarms blared throughout Sunagakure. All the chunin and genin led the villagers to the safe zone set up by the sealing team, while the jonin and above gathered at the Kazekage Tower. Because there had been a plan in place to deal with the Akatsuki members coming to take down the tailed beasts, Sunagakure was still relatively orderly and there was no major chaos.

"The Akatsuki leader has launched an air raid on the village. Everyone, prepare for battle."

Rasa looked at the few small black dots facing off in the sky with a serious expression. After speaking to these Jonin, he was also extremely nervous. The leader of Akatsuki was incredibly mysterious. Even Sasori, who had been in Akatsuki for so many years, didn't have much information about the leader. Moreover, he possessed the legendary Rinnegan. Rasa was worried that Shinto-sama wouldn't be able to protect him. Although he could fly and was a Double-Flower Red Staff, his level was quite different from that of top-tier kings like Shinto-sama. Going up there might just be a hindrance to Shinto-sama. It was better to defend from below.

"Oh my! It's been a long time since we've seen the leader of the Akatsuki. What brings you to our remote and impoverished village? And to have you personally come is too much of an honor for Sunagakure. Other villages don't receive this kind of treatment, do they?"

Shinto approached the Six Paths Puppet and spoke casually.

......

"Shinra Tensei!"

Pain, who was at the front, was too lazy to argue with them this time. He was here to fight the tailed beasts and "rescue" Sasori. Since he was going to take action anyway, arguing would only lower his status.
