Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

I don't know if Ebizo had his brain caught in a door that morning, but he actually suggested that he go with Rasa as well.

However, Shinto is too lazy to join in the fun right now. He doesn't usually care, but things are different now. This is a crucial time for the ninja world to be a loving family. If Onoki doesn't like him and he doesn't like Onoki, and they start fighting, he has no reason to hold back, right?

Ohnogi has been wearing a wig all these years, and his anus probably still aches a little when he poops...

Kaguya is about to appear; it wouldn't be good for her to go and beat up Onoki and disrupt the team's harmony.

"...Hey! They only sent you because Onoki is there. He's a seasoned veteran; a few young people might not have much of an advantage..."

Ebizo said calmly, "If I could, I'd never want that bastard to go. Who knows if he'd sway the Five Kage Summit if he went? But then I thought about how the Raikage, Mizukage, Hokage, and Rasa are all young people. Although they've been leaders for many years, they're far less experienced than Onoki. Onoki is the second-generation cunning old fox after Tobirama Senju, his mind is full of schemes. How could a few young people possibly outmaneuver Onoki?"

If those young guys get led around by the nose by Onoki and end up inexplicably losing the lead and becoming the leader, wouldn't that be a huge loss? We wouldn't have dared to say that before, but now that his grand-nephew has returned, their Sunagakure starting lineup is incredibly strong, even stronger than Konoha's right now. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if Sunagakure doesn't seize this bastard's prime while he's still capable of fighting for leadership, wouldn't they be wasting his youth...?

So this is where Shinto, the troublemaker, needs to put his special talent to use.

1131. It's obvious he's going to show off to Onoki.

"No, I'm pretty busy right now. I'm waiting for Orochimaru's news, so I don't have time to chat with Onoki. But Ebizo, you can go! Although you've never been the Kazekage, you're still a four-time veteran of Sunagakure. In terms of seniority, Onoki can't compare to you. Your qualifications and status are not a problem. Besides, you've been a Grand Councilor for so many years. You have much more experience in this kind of thing than I do!"

"Besides, it's not a good idea to stay in the village after so many years of retirement. It would be nice to go out and see the world. Who knows, you might have a beautiful encounter, have a twilight romance, and bring back a young lady to take care of you in your old age... The Land of Iron is a paradise for men."

Masato gave Ebizo a look that even a man would understand.

He usually avoids these high-level meetings whenever possible, and even if he can't avoid them, he often spends them in his dreams. Now he has to attend a cloud-based meeting of several top leaders, which would be incredibly boring. Besides, looking at the people in charge now, apart from Onoki and his brother-in-law Nawaki, he's not familiar with the other Mizukage girls or the Fourth Raikage, so there's no point in going.

Moreover, Nawaki was, after all, his nominal brother-in-law. With Konoha's lineup this time, plus Uchiha Itachi having taken down so many tailed beasts, the leader was out of the question. The remaining choice would be among the four families. If he remembered correctly, the leader in the original work was the Fourth Raikage. Firstly, his background was clean, and no rogue ninja from their village appeared in the Akatsuki organization.

Secondly, in the original work, besides Konoha, Kumogakure was the strongest. Konoha couldn't be the leader for many reasons, so Kumogakure had to take the lead.

But things are different now. Because of this little butterfly, although their handsome Sasori had also been in the Akatsuki group and had done a lot of bad things, look at their Sunagakure's current starting lineup. Sasori's father is still alive and is still a solid double-flower red stick. Rasa is also alive and is now a double-flower red stick. In addition to Shiki, Sasori, Shuri, Yusaori, Chiyo, Sunagakure's green light "Conan's father" Gaara have to play in the second lineup. Ebizo can only go to guard the water cooler.

With such a powerful lineup capable of establishing a dynasty, it would be a disgrace for Shinto if he didn't take the lead.

But given his relationship with Rope Tree, he couldn't very well embarrass his brother-in-law.

"Snapped!"

"That's right! How come we didn't think of that? Uncle, this time you should go with Fengying, you're definitely more suitable than Big Brother..."

Handsome Scorpion's dad went all out to steal the spotlight, slapping his thigh hard so hard that anyone who heard it felt the pain.

"Hmm! It would be good for you to go, Ebizo."

Chiyo nodded in agreement. She hadn't really agreed when Ebizo suggested sending her precious nephew. After all, the feud between her precious nephew and Onoki could be made into several large-scale TV series. Besides, her precious nephew wasn't very reliable. Although he was reliable at times, he was unreliable more often than not, which made her a little uneasy.

Now that her beloved nephew said this, it reminded her that her brother is good in every way, smart and talented, but what worries her the most is that he is still single. When he was young, she tried to find him girls, but he refused because he was too busy with work. Later, when he got to middle age, times changed. He didn't like the older girls, and the younger girls didn't like him.

I originally thought that my beloved grandson and beloved Karin would be responsible for taking care of this younger brother in his old age.

However, it would be great if her younger brother met the right person in the Land of Iron. Even if it was just for their family's wealth, she would accept it as long as they were willing to take care of her brother in his old age and see him off in his final days!

"This... isn't a good idea? I'm already so old..."

Ebizo's heart was pounding too. Of course he wanted to go to the Land of Iron. He had been a bachelor for so many years.

Although Sunagakure does have some entertainment options, he hasn't been to any since Sunagawa died, as he has no teammates. After all, it's not a good reputation for a veteran of four dynasties to spend the night in the Red Bronze Zone, and he has his pride.

The Land of Iron, that's a man's paradise. The key is that he doesn't have to worry about anyone recognizing him there, and he can vent all the frustration he's held back for so many years... As Shinto said, it wouldn't be bad if he could have a twilight romance.

But at his age, if he were to have a twilight romance, he might be laughed at when he returns to the village...

"Hey! When it comes to love, age isn't a problem, height isn't a barrier. In the face of love, who's more noble than whom? Nobody cares about these things. Just set off on your journey with peace of mind! I promise, if anyone dares to laugh at you later, I'll be your vanguard with a forty-meter-long sword..."

Shinto patted his chest and assured him, but he was also a little apprehensive. Ebizo was already this old, and he didn't seem to exercise regularly; he wasn't sure if he could still maintain his stamina. What if he was discouraged and lost his confidence, or even died in the Land of Iron...? He wondered if he could even receive a state funeral...

"Yes, yes, what the teacher said makes sense. Lord Ebizo, you can go with me without worry. No one will laugh at you. If anyone does, the teacher will play forward and I'll play midfield for you!"

"Conan's dad" patted his chest, and he was speaking from the heart. Everyone in the village knew that Ebizo had dedicated his life to the village, missing out on his prime years and becoming a bachelor for decades.

If it weren't for Lord Ebizo's dedication over the years, how could their village have developed to where it is today!

Lord Ebizo is absolutely fucking amazing!

"Mmm...Ebizo, go ahead without worry..."

With both members holding the double-flowered red staff speaking, the other high-ranking members also patted their chests and promised that upon returning home, they would first give the younger members of their families a heads-up, ensuring there wouldn't be any gossip in the village...

"Alright, this time Ebizo and Rasa will be Rasa's assistants. These are special times. Jie, Kudo, you two will go with Rasa too. Jie, take good care of your uncle on the way..."

Finally, Chiyo made the final decision, casually arranging a few people to act as bodyguards for Rasa. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, since the Akatsuki organization was unpredictable, Jie, the puppet master, and Conan's father, both of whom were considered top-ranking members, would also be going. Even if they encountered members of the Akatsuki organization, they could still escape safely if they couldn't defeat them. Especially since they were bringing along Ebizo, who was a liability, it would be safer to send a few more people as the starting lineup.

She only has one younger brother, and she doesn't want to be the one to bury her child...

"..."

When Masato heard Chiyo's arrangement, he rolled his eyes speechlessly. He thought Chiyo was taking a relaxed approach, but he didn't expect her to be so ruthless when necessary. This lineup was clearly meant to show off to Onoki.

Even including that blond brat Deidara, Iwagakure only has two double-flowered red staffs. Sunagakure has three, so Onoki probably won't go head-to-head with them unless he wants to get ganged up on...

1132. Six billion female fans cried.

"Itachi is dead... Waaaaaah..."

"Why? Why did Itachi die so young... Waaaaah."

"Waaaaah, my Itachi is dead, I don't want to live anymore..."

The news that the popular emperor, who had six billion female fans, had lost his youngest son, Uchiha Itachi, spread throughout the ninja world, and those six billion female fans were completely outraged. In a short period of time, the ninja world was filled with the cries of young girls and the sounds of girls contemplating suicide.

If you didn't know better, you'd think all these girls were widowed.

In Sunagakure alone, the sounds of girls threatening suicide and hanging themselves are everywhere. Even the deaths of the First and Second Hokage weren't this spectacular...

This makes one marvel at just how incredibly popular Itachi Uchiha is!

Even in death, you'll make headlines...

"Waaaaah, if only he had agreed to be my husband and stopped getting involved in the conflicts of the ninja world, he wouldn't have died so young..."

The person who said this was a wealthy female fan who had lost several husbands...

.....

In Onoki's mansion in Iwagakure, Onoki's beloved granddaughter, Itachi Uchiha's number one fanatic, locked herself in her room, gazing tearfully at the posters that had been inflated to exorbitant prices by unscrupulous merchants, as if looking at them a few more times would bring the people in the posters back to life.

"Black Soil...? My sweetheart...? Come out and get something to eat! You can't bring someone back to life, so try to accept it..."

If outsiders saw this scene, they would be absolutely stunned, their mouths agape enough to fit a dinosaur egg.

Onoki, like a kind old grandfather, stood outside his beloved granddaughter's room, holding various snacks, and began to speak earnestly and softly into the room...

Is this still the same Onoki who has a bad temper and is prone to making sweeping generalizations?

It's unbelievable that Ohnoki can be so cheesy!

"I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat! Grandpa, please leave me alone... Waaah!"

As a die-hard fan of Itachi Uchiha, who represented her youth, Onoki's beloved granddaughter locked herself in her room and cried silently every day after learning of Itachi's passing. Onoki was heartbroken!

The Five Kage Summit is about to begin, and Rasa has already set off for the Land of Iron. But with his precious granddaughter in this state, what's the point of a Five Kage Summit?

That brat Deidara has been too deeply influenced by the Akatsuki, there's no hope for him now, their precious granddaughter is the hope of the whole village!

He, Onoki, also had high hopes for the company, so he absolutely couldn't let anything happen to him.

It's all that bastard Uchiha Itachi's fault.....

Recently, Onoki's mood has been like a rollercoaster. At first, he was quite happy when his son and the others brought Deidara back alive. After all, Deidara was the only super genius in the village since him, and a top candidate for the future leader, if not the core leader.

Even seeing the somewhat arrogant and unruly face that had emerged after several years of wandering, Onoki wasn't unhappy at all. In his opinion, this precious disciple was young and simple-minded, so he was fooled by the Akatsuki. As long as he gave him more ideological education and instilled the idea that the village belonged to his family, he could still change.

Then we'll keep this child hidden away for two or three years until things calm down before releasing him. He'll still be a fine son of Iwagakure...

So, with the aim of making him usable even after being cleansed up, Onoki would spend his free time teaching Deidara with a thick book on ideology and politics. However, after a period of ideological education, it was still of no use. He realized that Deidara had been brainwashed too deeply by the Akatsuki organization, and it was impossible to change him in a short time. To change him, the Akatsuki organization had to be eliminated first to weaken the psychological defenses of his precious disciple, so that psychological counseling could be provided.

However, this cannot be accomplished in a short time, so he stopped giving Deidara lessons and just had his underlings instill the idea of ​​"I love my family" in Deidara every day. He also focused on preparing for the Five Kage Summit.

Not long after, he heard that Itachi Uchiha was a fake defector who was actually an undercover agent and had been killed by his younger brother Sasuke Uchiha. Hearing this news, Onoki was overjoyed!

When he first heard that Itachi Uchiha was a fake defector and a real undercover agent, he felt disgusted and sad. But now that he's dead, well... let it go.

But before he could even rejoice for long, his other hope, his beloved granddaughter, stopped being as lively as before after learning that that bastard Itachi Uchiha was dead. She locked herself in her room like she had lost her husband, not saying a word, not sleeping, not eating, and no one could persuade her. Seeing his beloved granddaughter getting thinner and thinner every day, Onoki felt extremely heartbroken!

I can't believe my precious granddaughter turned out like this just because she saw that bastard in a crowd years ago. That Uchiha Itachi really caused a lot of harm...

"Come on! Come out and get something to eat. It's just Uchiha Itachi. Our village has plenty of talented young men like him. Deidara is one too..."

Onoki mentally cursed the Uchiha Fugaku family. What was so great about Itachi Uchiha? He was just as handsome as I was in my youth. Few handsome people could be as reliable as him...

Moreover, in his mind, Deidara was actually quite a good match for his beloved granddaughter. Although he disliked Deidara's blond hair and lacked any family background, making them an unsuitable match... Deidara was, after all, a super genius of Iwagakure, his disciple Onoki, and the hope of the entire village. He figured he should keep the good stuff within the family, and he was barely worthy of his beloved granddaughter.

Back then, he deliberately tried to cultivate a relationship between his beloved granddaughter and Deidara, but they were both too young, and his granddaughter's infatuation with that bastard Itachi Uchiha disrupted his plans. Now that Itachi is dead, it's good that there's still a chance to bring his granddaughter and Deidara together...

"I don't want it, I only want Itachi... Waaaaah."

The crying and fussing coming from the room interrupted Onoki's thoughts.

"Sigh....1"

“Father, give up. I’ve been trying to persuade her for days, but it’s no use. She’ll come out when she’s hungry.”

Huang Tu, who was not far away, said helplessly while stuffing something into his mouth.

"boom!"

"You idiot! Your daughter's in this state and you still can't eat? Go stand facing the wall on the back hill! ヽ(#`Д′)?"

Seeing his son's carefree attitude, Onoki suddenly jumped up and punched Huangtu in the head, shouting with his black nose.

"..."

Huang Tu, feeling the swollen lump, slunk away to the back mountain.

What's it to me? If you're so tough, why don't you resurrect Itachi Uchiha and beat him up?

Damn it, he takes his anger out on me, his son, but doesn't he feel any heartache seeing his daughter like this...?

1133. He is Tsunade's number one simp.

On the shore of a lake somewhere in the ninja world, Kisame, carrying Samehada on his back, gazes at the calm lake surface as the sun sets, reminiscing about those glorious years. Now, the old friends are gone, and the rest will be discussed later.

"May Itachi rest in peace..."
