Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

"This...you Konoha people are so evil? You even kill ordinary people?"

Masato was momentarily speechless after being confronted by the levitating Nagato, and then pretended to look curiously at the white teeth on the other lion's head.

Of course, he knew who was behind the Konoha ninja incident in the Land of Rain. He had originally asked Kakuzu to do it, because he wanted to incite conflict between the various villages against Konoha and then make a fortune from the war. However, just as Kakuzu had finished a job in Iwagakure and was about to do another job in the Land of Rain, Madara beat him to it.

However, this was just his guess, and there was no evidence to prove that Madara was responsible, so even if he told Nagato, who was on the verge of death, it wouldn't make a difference...

"..."

White Fang stared at the sky speechlessly, too lazy to explain anymore. This was the very reason why World War II broke out back then, and Konoha had been blamed for this for decades. Explaining now would be pointless.

Sometimes what's clearly a fake can become a genuine antique after being preserved for decades...

"Kakashi-sensei, is what he said true? That Konoha would really do something like that?"

Other veterans aren't a problem, after all, there are too many true and false things in the ninja world, and Konoha has always been a professional at scapegoating, so a few more accusations won't crush them. But it's different for those young ninjas who just debuted and don't know the evil in the ninja world. They've been taught since childhood that if everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better place, and that the ninja world should be a loving family, starting with me.

But now we're hearing about this kind of thing? Doesn't this contradict all the education they've received over the years?

Just like Kakashi's experience back then, even though his father taught him from a young age that ninjas are born for missions, his father persuaded him to give up missions for the sake of his comrades, which Kakashi couldn't understand for a while.

However, these little Karami are much happier than Kakashi. Although they don't have a powerful father, the education they receive is not as rigid as the education Kakashi received when he was a child. So even though their thinking can't change immediately, their mentality won't collapse.

"...The events of that year were quite complicated. The reason World War II broke out was because our Konoha ninjas were burning, killing, and looting in other villages. However, the war started very quickly, and Konoha didn't have time to explain. Several years had passed since the war ended, making it even more impossible to explain..."

Kakashi explained, spreading his hands.

Although he wasn't even born when World War II broke out, he had been involved in the Anbu since childhood. He had read more files than the Hokage's archives, let alone something as important as the outbreak of World War II. It must be said that spending so many years in the sewers wasn't entirely without its advantages; while his strength increased slowly, his knowledge was outstanding, making him practically a mini-encyclopedia of the ninja world. Whenever Nawaki wanted to find any historical information, he could simply notify Kakashi to go to the Hokage's building, where all the necessary materials would be readily available...

"Sogatari! I knew it! How could Konoha possibly do such a thing?"

After a brief explanation from the Ninja World Encyclopedia, a group of uneducated Konoha ninjas suddenly realized what was going on. Then, they all stared menacingly at the skinny, hanging Nagato in mid-air. This skinny terrorist leader had not only killed their Jiraiya, but had also almost made them question the village. What a clever divisive tactic!

Seriously, is this guy really a disciple trained by Jiraiya? Jiraiya didn't have that many tricks up his sleeve...

"Hmph! Speechless. Now, enjoy the pain."

"Super Shinra Tensei!"

Seeing that Masato and White Fang were not speaking, and sensing the gazes of those Konoha trash in the distance, Nagato sneered disdainfully. His body slowly rose into the air without wind. When he reached the highest point, he spread his arms and closed his eyes, looking as if he were embracing the whole world and being the king of the world. Although his body was very thin, like a poor child who hadn't had enough to eat, he created an atmosphere that made it seem very real.

Wow! Here we go again!

"This time it seems even higher and more powerful..."

"Stop talking nonsense! It's not safe here, back off..."

Originally, a group of Konoha underlings who were ready to rush up to avenge their Jiraiya-sama watched as an X, which had been erected across centuries, gradually rose, and a power countless times stronger than before was brewing within that frail body.

She stopped babbling and very sensibly pulled her chattering friend, who was still oblivious to the horror, back away.

"Quiet down, everyone. Take this moment to feel the power. This is the pinnacle of ninja power; you'll likely only encounter such an opportunity once in your lifetime..."

Seeing his underlings retreating in a panic and without any order, a Jonin who had just finished fighting the Six Paths Puppet and still had some injuries on his body, whether from his own people or the Six Paths Puppet, was dark-faced as he retreated while lecturing his underlings.

........

"Everyone! I'm back!!"

However, just as Nagato, who was hanging himself alive, was about to explode with the atmosphere, a loud tenor voice rang out from afar, echoing throughout the Hidden Leaf Village.

I almost slipped and fell off the lion's head.

He's forgotten about the savior; this seems to be the savior's transformation from a weakling to a king.

This stop solidified his status as the king of savior rhetoric.

He'd been so focused on racing against the guy outside the gate that he'd almost forgotten about this...

"Naruto? What are you doing back at this time... Holy crap! You've learned Sage Mode?!"

When Rope Tree heard the voice and looked at the person who came, his head throbbed. The leader of the Akatsuki organization was coming for him. Why didn't he stay in the Toad Cave and instead came out?

However, when he saw the savior's appearance, his cultural knowledge was not high, and he could only express his feelings with a "Holy crap!"

Magical arts!

That look! Those eyes!

This is absolutely a divine magic look!

1141. Little devil, go! Smack him!

Sage Mode might be unfamiliar to others, but for Nawaki, who had chosen between Toad Cave, Earth Dragon Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest at the age of four, it was intimately familiar. Although he ultimately chose Orochimaru's Earth Dragon Cave, he knew far more about the three sacred sites for cultivating Sage Mode than anyone else, after all, his grandfather was the first leader of Shikkotsu Forest...

Although his talent wasn't great, his knowledge was absolutely top-notch. Moreover, he had once tried his luck at the Earth Dragon Cave, after all, it was a magic technique for underdogs to turn their lives around. Unfortunately, although his talent wasn't great, he wasn't an underdog either. Fate didn't favor him, and he never mastered the magic technique. However, he still had a good understanding of the characteristics of the magic techniques of the three holy lands.

Although Naruto's unusual appearance was different from what he understood as the appearance of Sage Mode, the aura emanating from him clearly indicated that he was a Double Flower Red Staff user. For a weakling who could only use Rasengan and summon minions to barely become a Chunin, to be able to use Double Flower Red Staff, he really couldn't think of any other method besides Sage Mode that could be so powerful.

"Stop talking nonsense, kid! Go get him! He's the one who killed Jiraiya. Let's see how strong you are..."

Shinto waved to the savior, who had already entered Nine-Tails Mode, giving him a look that said, "I have high hopes for you."

The experiment just now proved that his verbal attacks were ineffective against these plot-driven characters; only the savior, the one who had entered the calamity, could do the trick. And only after the savior appeared did he remember that the vengeful Nagato was nothing compared to the even more formidable rich girl behind him—she had hundreds of billions of explosive tags! If he overpowered Nagato, who knew if that girl would launch a counterattack here...

"okay!"

The Savior already knew about Jiraiya from the two old toads in Shikkotsu Forest, so when it was time to go on stage, he didn't say a word, rolled up his sleeves and came to Nagato, staring intently at him.

Staring at.....

I kept staring at it.....

Just keep staring at it...

"Idiot Naruto! Why the hell don't you just go and do it!"

"What is this idiot doing?"

"As expected, even a max-level idiot is still a fucking idiot..."

"..."

When the savior took over, the Konoha people were initially quite relieved. Although Golden Lion had helped them withstand the big boss, the opponent was still an outsider, not one of their own. In the end, they felt a little bad, as if Konoha had no one else. Now that Naruto had appeared, although they still didn't understand what Sage Mode was, judging from the Hokage's reaction and Naruto's appearance, he must be very powerful.

They felt much better knowing that one of their own people could handle the big boss; at least they wouldn't be accused of Konoha being unable to protect itself and having to rely on Shiki...

But just as they were waiting for Naruto's amazing performance, this idiot just stared blankly at the other party without making a move. Some of the more hot-tempered girls couldn't help but roll up their sleeves and lose their temper.

We've already given you the home ground.

Are you posing for a photo here?

"Ah, yes!"

Upon hearing the distant curses, especially the voice of his pink-haired companion, the Savior's previously serious demeanor instantly turned cowardly. Without further ado, he rolled up his sleeves and charged towards the life-threatening Nagato, who was looking at him like he was an idiot.

He had originally planned to engage in his usual verbal sparring, a good habit he had cultivated over the years. He felt somewhat uneasy if he didn't say something before anything good happened.

But usually, when he's using his verbal skills, it's when the enemy is stronger than him; that's when the aura of his verbal prowess is at its best. However, the situation seems to be reversed now; a group of Konoha ninjas plus two old men are ganging up on a skinny guy...

He hadn't really looked at the lines for this situation at all. He had been staring at it for so long to build up the atmosphere and to recall the lines, but when these girls yelled at him, all of them were gone.

But since the atmosphere has been built up to this point, let's just drink it first.

"asshole!"

Nagato felt slighted. Wherever a big boss like him went, he was the center of attention.

White Fang has to show off his positioning skills against him, and Golden Lion has to show off his swordsmanship against him, but this blond brat is just so stupid, charging straight at him without any skill. Isn't that underestimating him?

Even the most good-tempered person couldn't stand it, let alone someone in a fit of rage.

When the savior rushed up, Nagato didn't waste any more words. He just fired a Pain Mask at the savior, letting him experience the pain of carrying a bag of rice up several floors. He'd beat the blond brat out first. Did he really think he was so great just because he had a transformation? Jiraiya could also transform, but he still got beaten to a pulp by Nagato.

When the savior saw the skinny guy raise his hand towards him, a powerful repulsive force surged towards him. The savior, who was already in full transformation mode, was not afraid at all. He rolled a big dumpling in his hand and charged forward despite the powerful repulsive force!

"Boom boom boom...!"

"Clap clap clap...!"

After a fierce exchange of blows, the next move was close-quarters combat. The White Fang's godlike movement and the Golden Lion's steel body wouldn't foolishly engage in close combat with either of them. However, the Savior was different. Based on the series of actions just now, Nagato had deduced that although the Savior's strength had increased after his transformation, he was ultimately a clueless idiot, only capable of making simple pills. Facing such a combat newbie, Nagato was determined to beat him to a pulp.

"It's still not working. Naruto's fighting skills are too poor. What's wrong with Kakashi...?"

Sakumo Hatake, standing next to Shinto, frowned and shook his head.

The two fought from one end of the village to the other, and then back again. Although the Savior had made great progress and seemed to be evenly matched with Nagato, in the eyes of someone like Hatake Sakumo who was eager to reach the maximum experience level, the Savior was actually being constantly suppressed by Nagato. He was only able to retaliate once after being hit by Nagato more than ten times. It was only because of the Sage Chakra from the Toad Cave and his Nine-Tails Mode that the Savior was tanky enough. Anyone else would have been instantly killed.

But even if the savior can hold on for now, once the magic wears off, he'll really get beaten to a pulp.

Although Naruto is Minato's son, he is not Minato after all, and their connection is not that great. Therefore, he doesn't usually pay much attention to Naruto. Moreover, since he is his son's student, he has a lot of confidence in his son.

But now it seems his son isn't very reliable either...

1142. This kid relies on his mouth.

"Kakashi, what's going on? Naruto's been with you for so long, why is it always the same old thing?"

Seeing that the Savior's straightforward, idiotic attacks were no match for Nagato's life-threatening attacks, Asuma and several of Kakashi's classmates asked in confusion.

In their view, this shouldn't be the case. Kakashi has always been the number one fighter since he was a child. In particular, he could fight Chunin to a standstill at the age of five. He also spent more than ten years in the Anbu. His fighting experience is top-notch, far more than Asuma did when he was a bodyguard for the Daimyo. To say that Kakashi is irresponsible as a teacher is also wrong. Just look at how impressive Sasuke Uchiha was during the Chunin Exams. Kakashi even taught his student Chidori.

Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage, who was Kakashi's teacher. They're practically brothers, so it's impossible that Kakashi didn't teach Naruto. So why is Naruto still so weak...?

That shouldn't be happening!

"...It's probably because Naruto hasn't gotten used to the current pace yet..."

Kakashi rolled his deadpan eyes, refusing to admit that Naruto's inability to fight was any of his fault...

Honestly, he treated Naruto much better than the Fourth Hokage treated him back then. Although his persona couldn't portray the gentle and approachable nature of the Fourth Hokage, he swore with his hand on his chest that his dedication was absolutely no less than the Fourth Hokage's.

However, it was a pity that the Fourth Hokage and Lady Kushina, two exceptionally talented geniuses, had given birth to such a foolish son, which left him scratching his head.

He's a genius himself; he's perfectly capable of teaching other geniuses. Sasuke, for example, was taught quite well by him, wasn't he?

Even if she's not a genius, as long as she's an ordinary person with a relatively normal IQ, that's fine. Sakura's progress was pretty good before she was taken in as a disciple by Lady Tsunade, so at least her future looks promising.

But Naruto's intelligence hovers around the passing mark, fluctuating wildly, so he really has absolutely no experience with this.

For obscure knowledge like basic close combat skills, there's really no need for him to teach it; the teachers in schools have already taught it during the six years of compulsory education.

However, he couldn't see any signs of having gone through six years of compulsory education in Naruto. They had fought quite a few times in the past two years, but Naruto only knew two or three basic moves. Even if you taught him, he would forget everything when it came to fighting.
