Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"Hmph! He's my dad, and he already has my mom. Don't even think about it!"

Karin clung tightly to Sasori's arm, watching the two girls who had become infatuated with him warily. She hadn't expected her handsome father to be so charming. She was afraid that if her mother wasn't around, the two girls her age would take advantage of her and she would become his stepmother. She had promised her mother that she would keep a close eye on her father when she went out.

Although their village promotes monogamy, polygamy isn't illegal, especially since her dad is so handsome...

"What?! No way!"

Not only were the pink-haired girl and the girl dressed like Chun-Li shocked, but even those who didn't know the handsome Scorpion's identity stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

They recognized the Sand Village princess, but this handsome red-haired man looked so young that they would believe they were siblings standing next to her. He was actually her father?!

and many more!

Suddenly, everyone realized something, and their eyes widened even more, almost bulging out of their sockets.

This red-haired girl is the Sand Village's little princess. Isn't her father the Sand Sasori, the strongest puppeteer who recently shook the ninja world, dominated the headlines, and single-handedly fought tens of thousands of Mist Ninja?

It's hard to believe that the famous and strongest puppeteer, Sasori of the Sand, is so handsome!

He truly deserves the title of the most handsome man in the ninja world...

"Alright, alright, we'll watch the handsome guys later. Do you guys even know where the two Uchiha brothers are having their one-on-one fight?"

With a sigh, Masato interrupted a group of people who were blinded by Sasori's handsome looks and asked Kakashi.

He was used to these people's reactions and didn't care anymore. Handsome Sasori had been around for so many years, and apart from the first year or two when he was training under Kakuzu and hadn't yet revealed his true form, he'd spent the next decade or so hiding behind Hiruko. Very few people in the ninja world had actually seen his stern face. Back when he used cute childhood photos of Handsome Sasori to promote his fame, many people didn't believe him because they'd never seen him in person. If it weren't for his reputation as a super tough guy vouching for him, even professional snipers wouldn't have wanted to do business with him...

"...I know a little, but I'm not entirely sure. We were chasing Itachi Uchiha just now, but he's gotten away now..."

Kakashi shrugged.

"It's okay, as long as we know their approximate location..."

As Masato spoke, he closed his eyes and activated his Observation Haki to scan the entire Land of Fire. Sure enough, he sensed the presence of Itachi Uchiha and Kisame.

What is he doing? (⊙_⊙)?

A group of kids stared at him blankly, wondering what this legendary ninja was doing with his eyes closed.

"He was sensing Itachi's location. His sensory ability is related to his power, but he doesn't use his eyes to see."

Kakashi is starting to look more and more like a teacher, explaining to the group of kids who looked completely bewildered.

"Which direction is that? What's over there?"

Masato suddenly opened his eyes, pointed in a direction, and asked.

"That direction... that should be the ancestral home of the Uchiha clan! That's it! They must be there!"

Green-skinned Kai recalled, following the direction of Masato's finger.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry, or we'll miss the show..."

Shinto took the lead, leading his men into the air and flying towards the ancestral home of the Uchiha clan.

1121. Kisame is definitely a good teammate.

"Kakashi, I can't believe it. You're so old and you're still afraid of heights. When I took your dad flying back then, we flew for a whole day without any problems. If it weren't for your white hair, I would have doubted whether you were even a member of the Hatake clan."

High in the air, Shinto looked at Kakashi with surprise, his forehead covered in cold sweat and his body trembling slightly. He hadn't expected that this kid would have a fear of heights.

"..."

Kakashi looked down at the ground, feeling dizzy and too lazy to bother with the old man.

What the hell does my fear of heights have to do with whether I'm a member of the Hatake family or not...?

"Hey? Isn't that your dad? Why isn't he here as Rope Tree's bodyguard?"

When they reached the outskirts of Konoha, Masato spotted a figure rapidly moving through the forest. The figure with the dazzling white hair was the only one left in Konoha besides Kakashi, his father, White Fang.

“…”

When Shinto spotted Sakumo, Sakumo also spotted them. Speechless, he looked at the group of small black dots high in the sky—black hair, yellow hair, red hair, and white hair, all sorts of colors. It was hard not to notice them. Although Konoha's strength had declined a lot in recent years, in the entire ninja world, who could fly around within Konoha's territory without fear of being stabbed by his ancestral short blade? Only Golden Lion Shiki. Moreover, wasn't that white-haired guy his son?

White Tooth stopped and silently watched the slowly descending, multicolored little black dots.

"Why are you out here instead of being Nawaki's bodyguard? Did Nawaki get fired again?"

After landing, Masato asked curiously.

"...I was just about to come out and see if there was any news about Uchiha Sasuke..."

White Fang ignored his teasing and looked at Kakashi.

The Hatake clan members aren't good at verbal sparring; the more they pay attention to this guy's teasing, the happier he gets, so ignoring him is the best option.

"They're at the Uchiha's ancestral homeland, and we're heading there just in time. We can hear powerful chakra fluctuations in the distance; it's probably already begun..."

Before Kakashi could even speak, Shinto had already sensed the distant chakra fluctuations and, without hesitation, dragged White Fang towards the chakra wave.

.........

Shindou's senses were correct. When they arrived at the original ancestral land of the Uchiha clan, they encountered Kisame and the second male lead's friends at the entrance. At this time, Kisame was fighting the second male lead and his friends to a standstill, and the sounds of fighting coming from not far behind clearly indicated that a fight had already broken out inside.

Meanwhile, Kisame, who was evenly matched with the second male lead and his friends, suddenly started trembling inexplicably with his Samehada sword, as if he were very scared.

"The legendary Sand Village ninja, Golden Lion Shiki, the legendary Konoha ninja, White Fang, and even Sasori have come. What a pleasure to meet you!"

Kisame gripped the trembling Samehada sword tightly, using his soft, warm hand to soothe its young soul, giving it the courage to face Shiki and Sakumo. He spoke politely to the group, then glanced at Sasori with surprise, wondering what was going on with him. "Aren't you a villain? How come you're hanging out with these people..."

No wonder Samehada was trembling; it had suddenly encountered two legendary ninjas. Who would have thought that the duel between the Uchiha brothers would attract so much attention?

He had witnessed firsthand how powerful the Golden Lion was; it completely defied his understanding of ninja power. White Fang was a legendary ninja on par with the Golden Lion, and he dared not test whether White Fang's ancestral short blade could still kill someone...

"Kisame Hoshigaki, the super rogue ninja from Kirigakure, we're all old acquaintances, so I won't stand on ceremony. The fight has already started over there. We live in a society with free press these days. Look at how far I've come with so many people, just to see this Uchiha brothers PK on the same stage. I think you won't be so inconsiderate of an old man like me, right?"

Looking at the polite shark-like face, Shinto was still not used to it. He could only say that Kirigakure's education system was really too good. Even though he had defected from the village for so many years, he was still polite and well-mannered.

"Well... I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Itachi said that this is a private matter between the two brothers and they don't want to be disturbed. Unless you can step over my dead body to get past them."

Kisame picked up the Samehada sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest, his eyes firm and powerful.

It must be said that although Kisame was a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, which was a political mistake, it did not affect his character. He was still a reliable teammate you could trust.

Seeing Kisame like this, even the little devils were deeply moved. They never expected that a rogue ninja could be so loyal, willing to go to great lengths for his comrades...

It's a pity that such a beautiful woman had to become a thief!

"boom!"

"I respect you as a man, so I won't make things difficult for you. That way, you won't have let Itachi Uchiha down, right..."

Shinto didn't bother arguing with him. He teleported to Kisame's side and punched him in the head, knocking him unconscious. Then he muttered something to Kisame, who was lying on the ground with a bump on his head bigger than his own.

"......"

Everyone shuddered when they saw the huge bump on Kisame's head, which was even bigger than his head itself. How painful must that be!

"So...so scary..."

The few kids who had been evenly matched with Kisame felt a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. Kisame, who had been dominating them, was actually knocked down by a single punch from Shiki.

"Huh? Isn't that Zabuza's guillotine? Could that guy be dead?"

Masato looked at the second male lead's two teammates. One was Jugo, who was probably the source of Orochimaru's seal and was born with the ability to absorb natural energy to enter Sage Mode. The other was an even better person, the last descendant of the Hozuki clan, who was made of water. In the original work, these two were Karin's teammates, but now that Karin was not around, these two had teamed up with the second male lead again.

However, it wasn't unexpected for Masato, since these two originally came from Snake's youth training center. It was fate and the inertia of the plot that they ended up hanging out with the men.

What surprised him was that the Executioner's Blade carried on the shoulder of this Hozuki clan member was Zabuza's bread and butter. In the original story, it wasn't surprising that this kid got Zabuza's Blade, since Zabuza was already dead in the original story, and it was reasonable for someone else to get the Executioner's Blade. But back in the Land of Waves, Zabuza wasn't dead because of his appearance.

But now that the executioner's blade has appeared, and there's no news of him not being executed, it seems he's done too many wicked things and someone is lying in wait for him.

After all, to become as powerful and successful as his good brother in the bounty hunter business of dealing with rogue ninjas, ruthlessness alone isn't enough; luck, destiny, and feng shui also play a significant role...

1122. If Itachi weren't sick, he could have been made the main character.

At this point, the battle in the Uchiha ancestral lands had reached a fever pitch, with Itachi Uchiha holding back so much that it was practically overflowing, and Obito and Zetsu in the shadows almost asleep.

Even with Orochimaru's activated cheat codes and the Heaven's Seal, the second male lead was no match for Itachi Uchiha in any aspect. After all, Itachi was the youngest son, sharp from childhood to adulthood, and had already slaughtered his clan to prove his Dao at the age of twelve. Even though Itachi's body had reached a critical point where anyone would collapse, the second male lead's pretense might work on others, but against a high-level player like Itachi Uchiha who always unintentionally showed off, the second male lead's deliberate pretense was obviously much lower-level.

There's a saying that goes something like this: the most deadly kind of showing off is the subtle kind, and that perfectly describes Itachi Uchiha.

Even under such circumstances where the two sides were completely unequal in every way, the battle between them could still last for dozens of rounds, and neither side was able to suppress the other. Even Black Zetsu was amazed by this situation, and couldn't help but sigh that the Uchiha clan not only inherited their arrogance, but also their brother complex.

Madara loved his younger brother so much back then, and Itachi loves Sasuke just as much now. But alas, Itachi has Madara's destiny but not his luck; because of Shura, he doesn't want to be the older brother anymore... Who can he complain to?

In this battle between brothers, aside from Itachi Uchiha unleashing a Tsukuyomi at the start, Itachi never took the initiative to attack once. It was always the younger brother who relentlessly attacked, while Itachi dodged in various ways. Although his body was on the verge of collapse and he couldn't perform those difficult moves, it was too easy for Itachi, who had been sharp since childhood, to dodge the younger brother's attacks. Moreover, in order to give his younger brother confidence, Itachi would wait until the younger brother's attack was about to hit him before pretending to struggle and steadily dodging.

Even Black Zetsu, who's seen Orochi poop all the time, was amazed by this kind of hype. If this kid hadn't been terminally ill, even Nagato might not have been able to defeat him. Although the circle eyes are impressive, they weren't Nagato's own.

If Madara had been able to hold on for a few more years, Itachi Uchiha would have been the most ideal spokesperson. Even if he couldn't be the spokesperson, as long as Itachi Uchiha wasn't terminally ill or a reincarnation of Asura, he could still make Itachi Uchiha the protagonist!

Compared to Itachi Uchiha, Obito is nothing...

Perhaps this child is too outstanding and attracts envy, and his career is about to fizzle out in his early twenties.

"Golden Lion and White Fang have arrived, and Kisame has been defeated by Golden Lion."

Not long after Black Zetsu began to praise, White Zetsu suddenly appeared.

"Seriously... bring it on. Itachi's body is already failing, and Sasuke won't be coming to Konoha. We have plenty of time."

Obito said nonchalantly.

Originally, he planned to wait until the two brothers resolved their ill-fated relationship before trying to seduce the second male lead. After all, having witnessed his own brother die in front of him, the second male lead's talent was definitely enough to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. Then, he would give him Itachi Uchiha's eyes to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, making him a truly powerful figure.

He knew the outcome of this duel. Judging from the course of the battle, Itachi Uchiha's body was already close to collapse, and then he held back even more. For the second male lead, this was a battle whose outcome was already predetermined. Itachi Uchiha wouldn't last long before he was defeated. Otherwise, with the second male lead's current level, he would never have been able to fight Itachi Uchiha for so long.

However, now that Shiki and Sakumo have come to watch the show, the chance to fool the second male lead is gone. He had witnessed Shiki's battle with the Six Paths Puppet, but that rock-solid defense and the swordsmanship that allowed him to go toe-to-toe with Shinra Tensei alone proved that Shiki's strength could not be judged by his age.

However, he wasn't worried about the second male lead being taken back to Konoha. He saw not only hatred in the second male lead's eyes, but also ambition. Konoha couldn't hold onto someone like that...

"That's right, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's go now."

Black Zetsu nodded affirmatively. In fact, he didn't care much about the second male lead, who was a high-level expert. He only needed to pay a little attention to him. After all, he was the reincarnation of Shura, so he had to give him some face. It wouldn't be right to not pay any attention to him at all.

However, once the main character, Uncle Ban, is resurrected, the secondary character, the second male lead, will be nothing but trash. And if his mother unbans him, the whole world will be trash...

This is the most crucial moment, and the closer it gets to this, the more cautious he needs to be, lest Obito act rashly and confront Shiki. After all, Shiki is such an unpredictable brat; back when Madara was still alive, countless plans were ruined because of this kid...

...

Obito left with Zetsu and the Black and White Zetsu, but the battle between the two Uchiha brothers continued. The second male lead, Kuku, was still showing off his various ninjutsu. It has to be said that although Orochimaru's personality is a little bit dark, he is definitely an excellent teacher. The reason why he couldn't get proof in the past was not Orochimaru's fault. It was all because of a bunch of mediocre students who delayed Orochimaru. Look at who Orochimaru's former students were.
