Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Thinking about all this, Onoki felt a wave of frustration, but frustration was useless; he still had to find a solution. So, he pondered as he walked, and the only way to prevent the next generation from being bullied, besides having black dog blood splattered on Retsuto and Retsuma's graves, was to select two geniuses from the village, have them team up, and have them give birth to a child. Then, he would carefully nurture and train them to become a monster even more powerful than Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha...

Currently, the only geniuses in the village are his beloved granddaughter and Deidara, who both possess Lava Release. However, the thought of his beloved granddaughter gives him a headache. Ten years ago, he had the idea of ​​having Deidara and his beloved granddaughter develop a relationship, but these two brats, who grew up together, just couldn't click. And his beloved granddaughter is infatuated with that damned Uchiha Itachi.

He just couldn't understand it. If his precious granddaughter was infatuated, Deidara wasn't bad-looking at all, a total heartthrob, according to his normal standards. But his granddaughter just didn't feel anything for Deidara; instead, she was completely infatuated with that damned Uchiha Itachi. But to say that his granddaughter's taste was different from normal people wouldn't be right either. There were countless girls in the ninja world living like widows because of that damned Uchiha Itachi, which meant that his granddaughter's taste was perfectly normal. His granddaughter's personality was like his—she always responded better to gentle persuasion than force. Forcing her to be with Deidara was definitely out of the question, and Deidara would also resent it. What if she ran off to join some other terrorist organization? Deidara's personality was too naive and too damn easy to fool!

He ran off to become a terrorist after listening to a few provocative words from Itachi Uchiha. If this kid runs away again, I'm afraid he'll one day be sold out and still have to count the money for the seller...

Onoki had dominated the ninja world for decades, even managing to kill the Third Raikage, the most formidable figure in Kumogakure history. Yet, he was powerless against his own precious granddaughter. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"Teacher, your information is outdated. Kurotsuchi is obsessed with the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze... Ever since she came back from the battlefield, she's been looking at his picture every day. Who knows when she'll become that brat Naruto Uzumaki's stepmother..."

Huang Tu was still speaking when Chi Tu, a large, fat man wielding a hoe, noticed the teacher's displeasure and jokingly offered to cheer him up...

"What?! Another...another dead person?! (-"-Angry)"

Akatsuchi wanted to make Onoki happy, but Onoki's brain went blank for a moment, especially when he said "Naruto Uzumaki's stepmother!" It instantly ignited Onoki's powder keg!

It's one thing to like that damned Uchiha Itachi, after all, the two weren't that far apart in age, and Uchiha Itachi was still alive at that time.

But this guy likes Minato Namikaze, who kicked him in the back and caused him to strain his back every now and then for decades.

The key point is that Minato Namikaze died when you were still a baby!

Onoki had no idea what sins he had committed. So many living people disliked him, and even if they liked Orochimaru, he would accept it. At worst, he could sponsor Orochimaru's small scientific experiments and let Orochimaru marry into his family, which wouldn't be a problem.

But damn it, this precious granddaughter only likes dead people!

How the hell can you have a baby with a dead person?

Onoki was furious; the Armament Haki on his nose had turned a dark reddish-black, reaching the level of Shinto.

"Father, calm down. Heitu is still young and just looking for something new. He'll be fine in a couple of years..."

Seeing that his father's nose had turned black again, and that the symptoms were more severe this time, Huang Tu quickly comforted him.

It would be a tragedy if Dad suddenly passed away. Dad is old, and he was seriously injured by the Third Raikage in the last war. Even though the slug healed his external injuries, his internal injuries haven't fully recovered yet.

"Ugh! That brat..."

After catching his breath, Onoki said in a low, angry tone, "I'm so disappointed in you."

"Why is Father suddenly asking about Black Soil?"

After Onoki calmed down, Huang Tu asked curiously.

"It's all because of that bastard Shiki and Tsunade. I'm worried that if that bastard Shiki and Tsunade have a baby, what will happen to the next generation of Iwagakure..."

"I'm so frustrated," Ohnoki said helplessly.

"What?!"

Holy crap!

"Impossible, right? If I'm not mistaken, Shiki is already over sixty, and Tsunade is over fifty. Can they still have children? ⊙０⊙"

The Iwa ninja underlings in the mine were all dumbfounded, and Onoki's leader was even more afraid of making a mistake, so he started counting on his fingers.

This guy in his sixties having a child with a woman in her fifties, is he cultivating immortality...?

1225. The whole world is only concerned with whether he can still have children.

"Hey! You all saw it in Sunagakure last time. Golden Lion Shiki is clearly over sixty, but he still looks like a handsome middle-aged man. He looks younger than Huang Tu. Golden Lion Shiki's bloodline limit is Magnet Release, so his life force isn't very strong. So I guess it's because the Sage Chakra in his body helps him slow down aging. As for Tsunade, she is the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, so her life force is enormous. Plus, she has the Uzumaki clan's Yin Seal and the Hundred Healings Technique that she developed. Having a child wouldn't be difficult for them."

Onoki explained, gently touching the tuft of wig at the back of his head.

"this...".

The group of Iwa ninja underlings were speechless upon hearing their leader's explanation.

In the ninja world, ordinary people over 35 are considered advanced maternal age. Childbirth is a very dangerous thing, and it could easily result in the death of both mother and child. After 40, vitality and physical functions begin to decline slowly, making it very difficult to conceive. After 45, it is basically impossible.

But damn, Shiki has already turned sixty, and Tsunade, despite her youthful appearance, is already in her fifties if I'm not mistaken. And yet she can still have a child at that age.

This couple is no ordinary people!

"What the Tsuchikage means is, what if Shiki and Tsunade create another lion cub...?"

Tsuchiki agreed with his boss's assessment. Everyone had witnessed just how formidable Shiki was during the last war, especially his indestructible steel body, which was practically a father figure. He withstood two Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Balls and was still at full health. To be honest, with his knowledge, he couldn't think of any ninjutsu that could break through Shiki's defenses. Even his boss's map-wide attack might be a bit risky. And even if his boss's map-wide attack could break through Shiki's defenses, Shiki wasn't a sitting duck. If the skill's power couldn't hit the target, it would be a waste.

A person whose defenses are so impenetrable is inherently invincible!

Golden Lion and Tsunade are really having a baby lion. This means Sunagakure will be far ahead of them for the next few decades.

No wonder the boss is having a headache; even the civil engineer feels a headache coming on when he thinks about this.

"Tsuchimaki is right. Although I hate to admit it, Shiki's talent is indeed very strong. Coupled with Tsunade's Senju clan bloodline, it would be fine if their child only reached Sasori's level..."

Onoki nodded and said that there is no tradition in the ninja world where the next generation is not as good as the previous one. There are many examples of the next generation being worse than the previous one. His son, Hiruzen Sarutobi's two sons, the son of the Third Raikage who is now the Fourth Raikage, and the son of Hashirama Senju, etc., all of these people's achievements are far inferior to the previous generation. However, there are also examples of the next generation being better than the previous one. There are many such examples.

If the next generation of Shiki and Tsunade only reaches the level of Sasori, it is still formidable, but not as unstoppable as Shiki. If another Shiki appears, then the game is truly over.

"So, Tsuchikage-sama, you mean... you want Kurotsuchi to team up with Deidara..."

It's no wonder he's a man with an intelligence score of 95. After only asking about Kurotsuchi's situation, Onoki had already guessed his boss's thoughts.

Indeed, among the next generation of Iwagakure, the only truly talented young people are Kurotsuchi and Deidara. Kurotsuchi, though he hasn't mastered the area-of-effect attack, will eventually learn Lava Release; Deidara is incredibly skilled, even mastering a forbidden technique that no one in Iwagakure has dared to touch for decades. His talent is absolutely top-notch, and he's handsome too. His only flaw is his naiveté; he's easily fooled. To put it nicely, he has a childlike heart; to put it bluntly, he's a greenhorn who hasn't experienced the harsh realities of life...

"...That's the idea, but...let's see how it goes before counting."

Onoki nodded, then thought of his precious granddaughter's current infatuation with two dead people, and his head started to throb.

Uchiha Itachi is one thing, but Namikaze Minato is old enough to be your father...!

.....

"Mabui, given their ages, do you think Shiki and Tsunade are still capable of having children...?"

It's not just Onoki who's concerned about Shiki and Tsunade's next generation; now almost the entire ninja world is wondering if Shiki and Tsunade are still capable of having children at their age, and even the Fourth Raikage is no exception.

In the past, given the pride of the Fourth Raikage, he would never have had such concerns. However, in the last war, he encountered Madara, and the Fourth Raikage was completely defeated by Madara. Yet, Shiki was able to go toe-to-toe with Madara in his supernatural state. That's incredibly awesome.

Because Shiki was his teammate and they had a good relationship, and he knew Shiki quite well, he wasn't too worried. But the next generation was another story. This generation of Shiki and his father had teamed up quite a few times to mess with Onoki.

If, by any chance, Shiki and Tsunade actually have a child who inherits Shiki's talent, things could get complicated. Who knows, the next generation might team up with Iwagakure to sabotage Kumogakure. Don't be surprised, Shiki's personality was always this awful when he was young... and it seems he hasn't changed much now.

Sunagakure was originally a place with extremely scarce resources. Apart from gold dust, even drinking water had to be imported from outside. Therefore, if Sunagakure wanted to develop, it could only start with other villages. In the previous fifty years, apart from Kumogakure, which village had not been tricked because their father was an ally of Shiki, which village had not been tricked?

This question is a bit absurd. If it were an ordinary person, someone their age (like Shiki and Tsunade), they certainly wouldn't ask Mabui such a question. But with Shiki and Tsunade, it's hard to say. Shiki is over sixty. Last time in Sunagakure, he saw a clean-up Shiki and thought it was Minato Namikaze resurrected. Shiki looked younger than him. The key point is that at over sixty, he could still fight Madara in his supernatural state to a standstill, which means Shiki is still incredibly vigorous. You can't judge his fighting strength based on his age...

Tsunade is a medical genius; she can basically revive anyone who still has a breath left. Giving birth to a child is a piece of cake for her.

"...It's hard to say. Neither Shiki nor Tsunade can be judged by normal standards. Shiki is clearly over sixty and a taijutsu practitioner, yet his condition doesn't seem to have declined at all. Tsunade is Hashirama Senju's granddaughter. Although she hasn't awakened Wood Release, her life force far surpasses that of an average Uzumaki clan member, even exceeding that of Naruto Uzumaki from Konoha. It's difficult to say whether they can even have offspring..."

1226. Nawaki has been tricked by Hiruzen Sarutobi again.

"Is Lord Raikage worried about the next generation of the village?"

Mabui's intelligence points were two points higher than Civil Engineering's, so he could naturally see the Raikage's worry.

Although the ninja world was temporarily united because of Madara's encounter with the Sage of Six Paths' mother, and the major villages in the ninja world are currently in a honeymoon period, there are no external enemies. The grudges between the villages in the ninja world are long-standing and unpleasant, so how long can this peace last?

While the three overpowered figures of Konoha and Shiki are undoubtedly incredibly powerful, their presence is akin to the era of Hashirama Senju and Madara, only bringing temporary peace to the ninja world. However, if these four were to die, the accumulated grudges, hatred, and wars would inevitably erupt. For example, in their own Kumogakure, the Third Raikage's death at the hands of Onoki is something their descendants will never forget, even a hundred years from now, as he was the most powerful Raikage in Kumogakure's history.

If war breaks out, and another Golden Lion appears in Sunagakure, things will be very bad. In the past fifty years of the ninja world, which village besides Kumogakure hasn't been harmed by the Golden Lion...?

"Yes! Because of my father's relationship, the Golden Lion hasn't caused trouble in Kumogakure for the past few decades, but that might not be the case for his child with Tsunade in the future..."

The Fourth Raikage helplessly spread his hands and said.

He had actually considered creating a super genius through a powerful combination, similar to the pairing of Shiki and Tsunade. Darui met this requirement, but there wasn't a suitable girl. Yugito, the previous Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails, did fit the bill, but those damned Akatsuki killed him. Mabui was a genius, but the Mabu clan's talent lay entirely in their intellect; their practical skills were rather lacking. The previous Grand Steward dared to go to the battlefield only because his father protected him; after taking over, he never dared to take Mabui to the battlefield...

There are very few female ninjas with exceptional talent, not just in Kumogakure, but throughout the entire ninja world. The Mizukage of Kirigakure, Tsunade of Konoha, and Chiyo of Sunagakure decades ago—these are the only three female ninjas with truly exceptional talent in the history of the ninja world over the past few decades. Pakura, the disciple of the Golden Lion of Sunagakure and a scorching ninja, can only be considered half a ninja.

This shows how rare truly talented female ninjas are. Don't even think about Darui, the Mizukage of Kirigakure; she's too powerful for him to handle. She's the head of Kirigakure, why would she possibly come here for a marriage alliance, unless she marries into Kirigakure herself...

........

"Hmm? Nawaki is getting married too? Well, the heavy responsibility of your Senju clan rests on his shoulders... But is this Sarutobi clan girl for real? Could it be Sarutobi Hiruzen's doing?"

The whole world was wondering if Shinto could still have children, but now he was completely bewildered as he looked at the invitation in Tsunade's hand.

Because his brother-in-law, the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Nawaki, is also getting married. But that's not the point. Back then, he acted as a matchmaker for Nawaki and Pakura, but unfortunately, Pakura wasn't interested in Nawaki. In addition, after Nawaki developed the Three-Sword Style developed by Senju, he was pulled up by Tsunade to gain experience, and then nothing happened.

Given that Pakura now lives exactly like Kakashi, Shinto probably thinks she's going to be a "diamond bachelor" (unmarried woman over 30). Since Sunagakure doesn't have a monogamous system, Shinto originally planned to let Sasori (the handsome guy) take Pakura as well, since he wouldn't lose out either way.

However, this time, handsome Sasori was determined to resist to the death, almost to the point of holding scissors to his own neck, so Masato thought it best to give up.

This kid is destined for a tough life; he can't even handle one Shuri Uzumaki, and if another Yokura comes along, he'll probably die young...

Yekura's life was greatly influenced by spending most of her teenage years in the Anbu. Even after becoming the head of the Jonin class and the Kazekage's secretary for several years, she still couldn't shake off her unapproachable attitude. In addition, having held a high position for many years, she exuded an aura of authority that deterred many people who wanted to flirt with her.

She's only slightly closer to her teammates, "Conan's dad" and Mei Chuan Neiyi, when they're together. Everyone else, even her dad, feels a little uneasy when he sees her.

Nawaki had a chance before, but ultimately missed it.

However, when Shinto saw that the other name on the invitation was actually a member of Hiruzen Sarutobi's clan, he was completely dumbfounded. Needless to say, this must have been Hiruzen Sarutobi's doing. Only someone as shameless as Hiruzen Sarutobi would be so shameless as to act as a pimp. He still remembered that old man had wanted to introduce his clan girl to White Fang, but then Kakashi was successfully resurrected and even had a cheat code, so it didn't work out. He never expected that he couldn't handle his own leader, but instead ended up handling his teacher's grandson.

"Hmph! Orochimaru said that before leaving with the Sage of Six Paths, he told him to summon the spirit again as soon as possible. I guess it was for this reason."

Tsunade snorted coldly and said somewhat angrily.

She was happy that her younger brother was getting married, but the thought of him being tricked by that shameless old man made her feel a tightness in her chest.

Originally, she planned to let her younger brother rekindle his relationship with Ye Cang. Although her younger brother's talent was a bit lacking, his bloodline of the Senju clan was top-notch. For the sake of their Senju clan, the standard of his wife could not be too low. After all, her younger brother's talent was not good to begin with. If he married a girl with ordinary talent, the bloodline would be diluted, and the Senju clan would never be able to rise again.

Moreover, ever since Sasuke Uchiha became overpowered, Tsunade has been obsessed with him. The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have been fighting for thousands of years. While they may not have always completely crushed their opponents, they have never lost.

By her grandfather's generation, the Uchiha clan had been thoroughly dominated for decades.

But in her generation, looking at the previous Uchiha Shisui, then the Uchiha Itachi, and now the super overpowered Uchiha Sasuke.

Each of them is a top-tier figure in the ninja world, but his younger brother, even after becoming the Fifth Hokage, has only just entered the ranks of near-top-tier. It's no wonder Tsunade feels bad about it. If her brother were to marry a woman with greater talent, perhaps their next generation would produce a super genius who could restore the glory of their Senju clan. Look at the Uchiha brothers in the ninja world; isn't that how it is? Ever since Sasuke Uchiha became powerful, even though he's the only one left in the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha clan's reputation has been established. Meanwhile, the Senju clan is still just coasting along.

1227. Thousand Hands plus Sarutobi equals the sewers.

She had met Fugaku Uchiha before; his talent didn't seem that great. Mikoto Uchiha was just an ordinary girl from the Uchiha clan. Calling her a genius girl was nonsense. But their offspring were incredibly powerful, especially Itachi Uchiha, who genuinely rose to power without any special advantages or halo.

Based on her years of research on the Uchiha brothers, she believes that for a ninja to have a chance of their offspring becoming exceptionally talented, one of the parents must be gifted. Since Nawaki's talent isn't great, she naturally needs a genius as a female ninja. However, there are very few truly outstanding female ninjas. Shinto's female disciple, Pakura, is one such example. She was too eager to take Nawaki to gain experience back then, and as a result, she didn't manage to win him over. Now that the world war is over, it's possible for her younger brother to rekindle his romance with Pakura.

Before she could even put her plan into action, that shameless old man, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had already tricked her younger brother.

"I know what Senju + Uchiha equals, and I can roughly guess what Senju + Hyuga equals, but Senju + Sarutobi... I need to find Orochimaru to study this. Your teacher is even more shameless when he's dead than when he's alive!"
