Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

1197. Peak Madara is back!

Black Zetsu, in a moment of anxiety, gritted its teeth as if making a crucial decision. Taking advantage of everyone's focus on the united savior and Obito, and failing to notice it, it stealthily and quickly approached Obito, possessing him before he could react.

"Black Zetsu, what are you doing?!"

Having already been turned and genuinely plotting to defeat Kakashi and Sasuke for his newfound friend, Obito's strength was reduced by 70% after his redemption. He was already in a state of near-death experience, and with his strength further diminished, he naturally couldn't break free from Black Zetsu's control. Now, Obito was in a panic. He had finally found a kindred spirit who was even more miserable than him. He was still so young, and the current Hokage was so weak. He still had a chance to fight for the Hokage cause and was even thinking of having a long talk with his kindred spirit, discussing their life ideals.

"Obito, you have really disappointed Madara. You can be fooled by a mere brat."

"The Art of Reincarnation and Rebirth!"

Before anyone could react, Black Zetsu had already controlled Obito's body and completed the incredibly powerful True Madara Resurrection Technique I.

Obito was already nearly killed by Shinto, and he only had a brief moment of respite after being empowered by the power of love. Now, he sacrificed his life to revive Madara. In the end, Obito closed his eyes and kicked the bucket without leaving behind any last words that could be made into several episodes, and went to find his world, Rin.

The whole thing happened so fast, like a love tornado that caught you completely off guard. One second you were arm in arm with someone, like brothers in arms ready to team up and take on someone, and the next second you were dead. The savior was a little dazed.

He stared blankly at Obito, who had already died and was lying on the ground.

What's going on?!

He finally managed to turn this guy against his own side, but before he could even gain any experience, someone else stole his kill.

The Savior grew angrier the more he thought about it. This was the first time he had ever felt the frustration and annoyance of having his kill stolen. He immediately turned on the enemy and chased after Black Zetsu, who had already fled far away.

“Obito.…”

Best friends don't care about forever, they only care about the moment. Kakashi, holding Obito's body, exuded a poignant sadness that brought tears to the eyes of those around him. It turns out Kakashi wasn't heartless after all; it's just that the object of his affections wasn't "her"...

"Naruto!"

As if infected by Kakashi's sadness, the second male lead realized what it means to cherish the people in front of him. Seeing his best friend heading towards the boss, he chased after the savior while everyone else was still grieving.

"Alas! What goes around comes around, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven. What goes around comes around. This brat has done so many heinous things over the years, even if he repents in the end, Heaven will not let him off the hook. Giving him a whole corpse is already quite generous."

As Shinto watched Kakashi holding Obito's body, feeling the sorrow of Minato Namikaze, who was suspected to be a product of his drunkenness, he looked up at the sky and spoke with emotion.

"...Where did you copy this from?"

Handsome Scorpion was surprised by this old guy.

Tracing the history of their family, everyone was a top student, a group of postdoctoral fellows, and even the least educated, the infatuated Karin, was now a graduate student. Only this old guy had been semi-illiterate since childhood, a disgrace to their family. Yet now this disgrace of the family could utter such philosophical and thought-provoking words. He had reason to believe that the old guy had definitely copied them from that book.

"boom!"

"I've noticed you've gotten a little cocky since I haven't beaten you up in years, nephew?"

The carefully cultivated literary aura was shattered, and Zhen Dou punched Handsome Scorpion on the head, leaving a bump, and said irritably.

......

Madara is back in his prime!

It even has another round eye; it's incredibly powerful.

Madara, who had already whipped Senju to the point of questioning his existence with black sticks, became even more formidable after his true resurrection. Facing the savior, the trio of the protagonist, the second male lead, and Senju, the protagonist from the previous generation, were not intimidated at all. Madara skillfully dodged their attacks, occasionally unleashing a Sage Art. When Senju came, Madara would be dealt with again with black sticks, perfectly demonstrating the ultimate secret of the Uchiha's ability to take on three opponents at once.

It's precisely because Madara never takes the initiative when facing the second male lead that it inevitably arouses speculation.

As a seasoned brother-obsessed old man, Madara couldn't bring himself to beat Senju when he saw the pretty face that looked 99.99999% like his deceased brother. In fact, seeing that pretty face reminded him of his deceased brother, which made Madara even more powerful when he whipped Senju.

This left those unaware of the situation completely confused.

"While I'm not questioning your idol, Grandfather, don't you think Madara Uchiha is being a bit too lenient with Sasuke Uchiha? Isn't there some hidden story within the Uchiha clan, like Sasuke's grandfather's father...?"

From a young age, Karin loved learning and was deeply influenced by those novels about the struggles between wealthy families. In her eyes, apart from her own family, other wealthy families were all messy, and sometimes it was impossible to tell who was whose biological son and who was whose biological father.

"Mmm...."

Those around him nodded in agreement.

After all, Ban showed no mercy to the Savior and the Thousand Hands, especially his best friend, who had several black sticks stuck in his body. The Savior was also beaten black and blue. But the second male lead was still showing off as always, without a single injury on his body except for the sweat from the intense exercise.

This flooding is practically creating an ocean! It's no wonder they're having all sorts of wild speculations...

"Well... your suspicions are valid. Let me tell you, the Uchiha clan is indeed a very chaotic place. It's common for people to be the biological father of someone else, or the biological son of someone else. I heard that after my idol left Konoha, Sasuke's lineage immediately took over. It's hard to say there wasn't something fishy going on... But my idol seems pretty upright. He even fought with your great-grandfather to woo your great-grandmother back then. He shouldn't be that kind of person, right..."

Hearing Karin's words, Shinto couldn't help but ponder. After all, a large clan like the Uchiha had a large number of members, and their personalities were bound to be uneven. Even a daimyo who had neither strength nor power could cause a lot of trouble after his death, with a bunch of people who were originally the sons of ministers coming out to claim blood and fight for inheritance. Not to mention a unique and powerful clan like the Uchiha. Although they could control their bloodline from spreading outside, it was no problem for it to spread all over the clan.

Although Madara seemed quite serious, after hearing Karin's words, he didn't have much faith in his idol. After all, even the Six Paths Elder could make mistakes that any man in the world would make, and Madara was the reincarnation of his son; it was normal for him to have inherited some of the troublesome genes...

1198. Second Master also started playing the flute.

"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? It's been so many years, why are you still bringing this up!"

Chiyo appeared out of nowhere and stood casually next to Senju, only 0.5 centimeters away... Just then, she overheard her precious nephew talking about the love triangle between Madara, Retsuto, and her, and gave him a quick, annoyed Tenseigan.

"Wow! I never knew Great-Grandma was so attractive back then, even Madara Uchiha..."

Karin looked at her great-grandmother with surprise and envy...

"Of course, your great-grandmother was a true beauty of the ninja world before your father grew up..."

Shindou ignored the murderous glare in Sasori's eyes and continued speaking.

"...That's because Uchiha Sasuke looks a lot like Madara's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna. I think that's why Madara didn't harm that brat. ヽ(ー_ー)ノ"

At this moment, the second master of the Senju family next door was about to speak. He subtly moved two steps away from Chiyo and explained with a black line on his face.

Young people these days have such wild imaginations! What if this kid keeps going on and on about his eccentric Senju clan...?

"(⊙_⊙)? His younger brother?"

Everyone readily agreed with the big shot's bewildered expression.

The camera is in your hands; please begin your performance.

"...During the Warring States period, the Uchiha clan, like our Senju clan, produced two great geniuses: Madara and his younger brother Izuna. Madara and Izuna had a very good bond, even stronger than that between the Uchiha brothers, Sasuke and Izuna. Moreover, both of them awakened their Mangekyou Sharingan on the same day. Izuna and Izuna were also incredibly talented individuals, known back then as 'flawless' ninjas. This is why the Senju clan, despite having two geniuses like my elder brother and me, still couldn't defeat them."

In front of the camera, Senju Er Ye shamelessly added himself to the picture, since it was all in ancient times, before Chiyo, the advisor who served four dynasties in Sunagakure, was even born.

No one will object if you boast as much as you want.

"Teacher, what happens next?"

Upon hearing these ancient secrets that weren't even in books, and seeing the expression on Second Master Senju's face that said, "You'd better ask questions now," everyone cooperated in a very respectful manner, especially Hiruzen Sarutobi, his personal disciple, who was particularly eager to ask questions.

No wonder Master Thousand Hands chose him back then...

"Later, during a major battle, Naizumi was seriously injured by me due to a moment of carelessness, and died not long after. Then Madara..."

The second master of the Senju clan looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with satisfaction, thinking that this disciple was the most capable.

He then emphasized the story of his battle against the "flawless" ninja, reiterating it with added emphasis, as if afraid people wouldn't remember. After all, this was one of the few highlights of his career, and he couldn't let it go without giving it a proper shout-out, lest future generations forget him and not even know who he was, mistakenly thinking he was Sakumo's father...

To reiterate, is Sakumo's dad as handsome as him?

"All in! Teacher is amazing! He actually cut down the 'flawless' ninja!"

Next up were Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, who had somehow appeared as the straight men. After all, they had been taken in as disciples back then, so how could Hiruzen Sarutobi alone put on a show? The three old guys, one dead and two still alive, looked at this handsome guy with undisguised admiration.

"The Second Generation Lord is truly amazing!"

If the three big shots are like this, won't the Konoha underlings around them follow suit and do the same?

Unexpectedly, this big shot was pleased with their performance and issued an imperial decree before leaving, which would have brought them to the pinnacle of their lives.

As I said before, the workplace competition in Konoha is fierce!

"I never knew Madara Uchiha had such a backstory, but I also never expected the Second Hokage to be so handsome..."

Onoki's beloved granddaughter was captivated by the story, and then, upon seeing Senju's handsome face, still resurrected through Edo Tensei, coupled with the steady and reliable aura emanating from him, she began to drool again.

Honestly, Senju no Niji is really handsome. Even Karin would probably swoon over him if she didn't want to compete with her great-grandmother for a man...

"Kurotsuchi, calm down! The Second Hokage is old enough to be my father... (╬￣皿￣)"

When Onoki saw his beloved granddaughter start swooning over her again, and her target was none other than Senju no Nissou, whom he could call "Dad," he covered his face and looked at the sky in despair.

He, Onoki, dedicated his life to heroism, and all the men his precious granddaughter has fallen for are dead men from Konoha...

“…”

Senju Niji looked at the little girl next to Onoki with surprise.

I never imagined that Onoki, that brat who loves his stepmother, could actually have a granddaughter with normal aesthetic sense...

"Hey Onoki, that's not right of you. What era are we living in? Why do you still care about age gaps? If two people are attracted to each other, it doesn't matter if it's a human or a ghost, or even a human or a snake!"

"Little sister, don't listen to your grandpa. He's just an outdated old fogey. Big brother supports you! You're the Second Hokage, aren't you handsome? Let me tell you, he was the most dashing guy in the ninja world back then. Countless girls liked him, and he even had decades of savings. If you can win him over, you'll be rolling in money..."

As Masato spoke, he gave Onoki's beloved granddaughter a encouraging look.

“⊙０⊙!”

The crowd was shocked as they looked back and forth between Shinto, Senju Niji, and Onoki's beloved granddaughter.

Thinking about it carefully, the Golden Lion's words, though crude, are not without merit. Can humans and snakes really get along...?

However... calling yourself "big brother" is a bit too much, isn't it?

"You damn Golden Lion, what did you say? Say it again if you dare! (╬◣д◢)"

Upon hearing this bastard instigating trouble for his precious granddaughter, Onoki's anger flared instantly. He only had this one precious granddaughter, and this bastard was even more despicable than Hiruzen Sarutobi, threatening to cut off his family's future.

If he keeps putting up with this, he'll really become a Ninja Turtle!

"Fine, I'll say it. Are you scared of me? Calling me a bastard to my face? Do you think I'm dead? Come on, it's been years since we've practiced. Let's have a go now..."

Masato rolled up his sleeves and started yelling at Onoki.

"You damn Golden Lion, you're asking for it! (*｀皿′*)?"

"Hidden Vulture!"

"asshole...."

"The Red-Nosed Bald Eagle of the Hidden Rocks..."

"You're a bastard..."

“…”

"Stop arguing! Look at the sacred tree, it's getting bigger and bigger! Cut it down! ヽ(ー_ー)ノ"
