Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Masato stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Senju + Uchiha, definitely not what you'd expect, but absolutely awesome. With a bit more Rinnegan and Destiny power, they could even create a Rinnegan. Senju + Hyuga wouldn't be bad either, maybe even producing a powerful Otsutsuki Hamura. The Sarutobi clan is just a minor character, a mere Karami. Nawaki's talent was already lacking, and with Hiruzen Sarutobi's niece added to the mix, my god, the Senju clan's rise to power is impossible; they'll just stay stuck in the bottom tier...

"boom!"

"That old bastard..."

Tsunade gritted her teeth and slammed her fist into the pure gold table, completely deforming it. That's right, her monstrous strength was incredible...

"Forget it, this is probably Nawaki's fate. Think about Nawaki's life. Even with your protection, it has been full of hardships. He has top-notch ninjutsu and equipment, but God just won't let him show it. It would have been better if he had just been a Hokage for ten years or so and lived a peaceful life."

"Besides, your brother is already the Hokage. He's no longer that little brat who used to follow you around all the time. He has his own ideas. Since he's already made up his mind, we should respect his wishes."

Seeing Tsunade's anger brewing and her preparing to enter Zone mode, Masato's eyelids twitched, and he quickly spoke up to comfort her.

Nawaki's life has been so full of hardships, perhaps because he didn't die in World War II. Kishimoto couldn't stand it, and since he didn't die, he wouldn't let him have an easy time. Generally speaking, with Senju's Thunder God Sword and two Kusanagi Swords, plus the Three-Sword Style specially tailored for him by Senju, both his equipment and skills are top-notch. As long as you're not an idiot, you can get a Double Flower Red Stick even by watching the monsters in the newbie village.

But all these years, Nawaki still hasn't become famous. In actual combat, Nawaki even showed off his three-sword style against Madara. Although he was badly beaten, he still deserves credit for losing to Madara. He's had so many screen time, he should be famous by now.

But strangely enough, the Fourth Raikage's arm was broken by Madara but remained red, and the Mizukage was almost crippled by Madara, and her fan support was inconsistent. But when it came to Nawaki, he was only beaten into a pig's head by Madara, and was far less seriously injured than the Fourth Raikage and the Mizukage. Yet, strangely enough, everyone seemed to habitually ignore him.

Just like those who clearly saw Nawaki, the Fourth Raikage, and the Mizukage fighting Madara, but when asked, they only remembered the Fourth Raikage and the Mizukage, as if Nawaki had been forgotten. If someone hadn't reminded them, they would have really forgotten that there was a Hokage of Konoha.

The same goes for Rasa. Unlike in the original story, Rasa wasn't killed by Orochimaru before the Konoha Joint Chunin Exams. During this period, Rasa was incredibly unlucky.

First, he was beaten up in front of so many people in Konoha by a short and ugly dwarf, almost losing all face as the Kazekage. His life after that was a tragedy. Although he survived the Fourth Shinobi World War, after the war, he had to work from dawn till dusk to pan for gold, and he was exhausted like a dog every day.

Having served as Kazekage for so many years, his reputation still hasn't improved. Despite leading the village through the most dangerous Fourth War, he's still ranked below Shamon in the village's historical Kazekage rankings, who couldn't even survive a single war. It's incredibly frustrating.

The remaining White Fang was already famous throughout the ninja world before he committed suicide in the original work. In reality, White Fang was even more powerful than in the original work because of the existence of this little butterfly. He debuted during World War I, and before World War II even started, he had already become a double-flower red stick, and his reputation reached its peak. So White Fang, who did not commit suicide in the original work, survived that time. The hardship of life did not affect White Fang. He had already risen to the top and his name had already reached its peak.

Yecang will see now; the road to love is full of twists and turns.

As for Chiyo and Sasori, it's too early to tell anything yet. After all, both Chiyo and Sasori, like White Fang, were fully developed before they were killed...

"...I'm just so angry."

After calming down, Tsunade was no longer angry.

Masato is right. After all, her younger brother is no longer a child, and the invitation has already been sent. She should also consider her brother's feelings. If she were to ask him to marry a different girl, what would become of her brother, the Hokage?

Although she married into the Sand Village, she was born and raised in the Hidden Leaf Village, and the Hokage was still her younger brother. She couldn't ignore the feelings of the village and her brother.

"Actually, you can also think about it from another perspective. Although Nawaki's talent is low, it's still beyond what ordinary people can compare to. He can easily become an elite Jonin. Even the Senju and Uchiha clans back then would have had a hard time achieving that. Have you ever thought that your expectations for Nawaki are too high? After all, people like your great-grandfather and great-uncle only appear a few times in the ninja world over hundreds or thousands of years. Your great-grandfather was awesome because he was the reincarnation of the Six Paths Sage's son, but Nawaki isn't. He's not anyone's reincarnation, and he doesn't have any special advantages. He became an elite Jonin with just his Senju bloodline and the three divine weapons, which can even cut down a near-Kage. That's already quite impressive. If I remember correctly, your father was about the same as Nawaki back then, right...?"

Shinto recalled Tsunade's father back then. He didn't seem to be that strong. He was just an ordinary Kage, with strong vitality and a fear of heights. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so badly injured by the Six-Tails. When a pair of red staffs encounter a Tailed Beast, it wouldn't be difficult for them to escape, even with people in tow.

1228. Everyone gives face to the strongest 55kai.

Tsunade's father, the son of Senju, is truly exceptional in terms of bloodline. He has half the blood of Senju and half the blood of Mito Uzumaki. However, despite possessing such an incredibly powerful bloodline, he simply cannot reach the required level.

For an ordinary person to reach the rank of Quasi-Kage Red-Handed Master in their lifetime is already considered incredibly lucky. However, Tsunade's father, possessing the bloodlines of two of the world's top-tier ninja masters, only managed to reach this level, which is somewhat similar to his son Nawaki's achievement. But at that time, both Senju elders were still alive, and he even called Madara "uncle"...

With the protection of three top figures in the ninja world, he could basically move freely in the ninja world at that time. According to incomplete statistics, in the more than 60 years of history since the ninja village era, this guy has completed the most S-rank missions by himself. In his more than 20-year career, he completed more than 100 S-rank missions by himself without taking any damage, with the strength of a quasi-Kage. This terrifying record has not been broken by anyone to this day.

Even if someone can complete hundreds of S-rank missions in a short career of just over twenty years, it is still impossible to complete one solo without injury with the strength of a near-Kage. To achieve this, you first need to have a powerful figure protecting you, and one such top-tier figure is not enough; you need at least two. Only with such conditions can you hope to complete this challenge. However, currently, apart from Tsunade's father, no one in the ninja world has this condition.

It was precisely because the Senju elders were still alive that the Senju clan hadn't declined, so even if Tsunade's father couldn't reach a certain level, it didn't matter.

But things were different when Nawaki was born. Both Senju elders had passed away, and the Senju clan was already in decline. The once powerful clan that had dominated the Uchiha clan was now weaker than even the Hyuga clan. So, at this time, everyone placed all their hopes for the Senju clan's rise on Nawaki, Senju elder's grandson. With Tsunade, a powerful and incredibly strong violent genius, as a precedent, everyone subconsciously believed that Nawaki's talent must be extraordinary, starting as a top-tier player.

This is precisely why, after the rope tree, which was given high hopes by everyone, failed to grow to the level that people had expected, people began to think that the rope tree's talent was lacking.

But is Rope Tree's talent really that bad?

From a normal person's perspective, he's a bit worse than his sister, but he's not exactly a loser either. He's at least reached the level his deceased father was at. Like his father, Nawaki doesn't lack talent, but rather an external advantage like that of the Thousand-Armed Master...

Unfortunately, they didn't have any!

“ε=(′ο｀*)))！Things have come to this point, there's no other way.”

Tsunade nodded helplessly. She was just furious that shameless old man had managed to trick Nawaki while she was away.

Back when that old man was still alive, he often had his ANBU underlings send her messages hinting that Nawaki had grown up and that they should arrange for Nawaki to have a daughter to carry on the family line. Originally, she thought that the old family would arrange for a girl from the Hyuga clan to be given to Nawaki, since the Hyuga clan was on the same side as the Hokage, and arranging for a girl from the Hyuga clan would be a good match. However, she refused them all. It was obvious that there were no genius girls in the Hyuga clan this generation. They were not as good as Shinto's female disciple, Scorching Release: Pakura.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is clearly incompatible with that of the Senju clan...

She never imagined that the old man would force his own family's daughters onto Nawaki; it was as if he wanted Nawaki to improve the genes of their Sarutobi clan.

........

The marriage of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, who is also the grandson of Hashirama Senju, is arguably the most important event since the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, following the marriage of Shiki and Tsunade. Although the Fifth Hokage's strength was somewhat lacking, Konoha had three incredibly powerful figures in his ranks. Even Onoki, who was unhappy with Konoha, had to show respect by personally attending with his son and horseman. There was no way around it, even though the village had three overpowered figures.

Moreover, we're currently in a honeymoon period where everyone in the ninja world is like a loving family. They've already sent out invitations, so he can't refuse. If everyone else goes and he doesn't, wouldn't he become a rotten apple spoiling the whole bunch?

If Onoki is in such a state, then the other villages are naturally in a similar situation. They can't afford just one person like Kakashi Hatake, who can go toe-to-toe with the Sage of Six Paths' mother.

"Haha, nephew, you're the coolest in the ninja world right now. Look, even Nawaki, the Hokage, doesn't have as much influence as you. So many people are here because of your reputation as the strongest 50/50 player."

Standing at the entrance of Konoha Village, Kakashi watched as the leaders of various ninja villages, large and small, entered the village, followed by convoys laden with gifts. As they passed by, the leaders of those villages nodded to Kakashi in goodwill, their eyes filled with a hint of fear.

Seeing this, Masato, who had been led from the border to the village entrance by Kakashi, put his arm around Masato's neck and teased him.

Shinto is here on behalf of the village to offer his congratulations. Rasa, the Kazekage, is in a rather unfortunate situation. He's the only one in the entire village who can control gold dust, so after the great war, in order for the village to recover as quickly as possible and to receive compensation from the families of the fallen comrades, he's been busy panning for gold every day. He doesn't have time to attend the wedding. Plus, Nawaki is Shinto's brother-in-law, and Shinto has more influence than him, so Rasa simply had Shinto and Tsunade bring a truckload of 98K pure gold to Konoha on behalf of the village.

"...Let's go, let's bring these things to the Senju clan first."

Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes resignedly, too lazy to argue with the old man.

From Konoha Technician to the Strongest 50/50, for some reason, judging from the old guy's tone, he always felt that these titles didn't seem like proper titles, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Actually, he had always been a little confused. When he fought the Sage of Six Paths' mother one-on-one, he didn't really feel that the Sage of Six Paths' mother was invincible. But when he talked to Naruto and Sasuke, they both said that the Sage of Six Paths' mother was really strong. In order to verify his guess, he even deliberately trained with Naruto once. It turned out that he really couldn't beat Naruto. But here's the problem: he couldn't beat Naruto, while Naruto and Sasuke were beaten to a pulp by the Sage of Six Paths' mother even when they teamed up, but he could go toe-to-toe with the Sage of Six Paths' mother.

Through Naruto and Sasuke's conversation, it was revealed that, apart from the Sage of Six Paths' mother's ultimate attack which he couldn't withstand, he steadily blocked all of the Sage of Six Paths' mother's other skills.

This left him somewhat confused. Plus, everyone in the ninja world now called him the strongest 50/50, treating him like a true powerhouse. He couldn't explain himself clearly. Last time he tried to explain to Asuma and the others that the Sage of Six Paths' mother wasn't as strong as they imagined, Asuma and the others just gave him a bunch of eye rolls...

1229. Snake is becoming more and more humane.

"Great scientist, you're now an accomplice in Hiruzen Sarutobi's scheme against Nawaki. How dare you show your face? Aren't you afraid Tsunade will unleash her full power and beat you up?"

After transporting the 98K gold dust prepared by Rasa to the Senju clan's territory, Shinto intended to chat with Sakumo Hatake, but instead discovered a great scientist on the head of the Senju clan's second master at the Hokage Rock. Although Orochimaru contributed both manpower and effort in the last great war, it couldn't change the fact that he killed Hiruzen Sarutobi and defected to Konoha. Therefore, after the war, Orochimaru was still considered a Konoha rogue ninja. However, this didn't matter to Orochimaru; he was someone who wanted to cultivate to become an immortal.

Moreover, his research projects are much more convenient outside than they are within Konoha, where he is bound by all those rules and regulations.

"Heh, I had no idea Sarutobi-sensei had me summon him for this..."

Snake chuckled in a devilish voice.

He came to the Hokage Rock because he knew Tsunade was there, so he came here to take refuge.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to leave with the old man of the Six Paths, he gave him a look. After all, they had been master and disciple for many years, and their tacit understanding was still there. Although Hiruzen Sarutobi did not say it explicitly, he naturally understood what his master meant. He thought that his master had something to tell him. After the war ended, he had many things to do and many projects to research, so he forgot about it.

It wasn't until recently, when I heard that Asuma and Kurenai had a daughter, that I remembered this matter. So I quickly summoned my teacher to see what he had that he couldn't say in front of the two former CEOs of Konoha.

He didn't expect that after summoning the teacher, he would ask how many days the corpse could last before running off to have some fun. He originally thought that the teacher's nature was hard to change, and that after being dead for so long and being controlled by two big shots down there, he was just bored and wanted to release his stored energy by summoning him. So he didn't pay much attention to it.

But when he received a wedding invitation from Nawaki in the form of a white snake, and the bride was a girl from the Sarutobi clan, he knew he was in trouble. That old guy was actually trying to seduce Nawaki.

As a scientist, he was already very busy, so how could he have time to attend a wedding like this? Besides, he was an accomplice of his teacher. If Tsunade caught him, he would be beaten to a pulp. Although he was very confident in his snake-like self-skinning, Tsunade's fists would still hurt!

However, considering that Nawaki was still his younger brother whom he had watched grow up, and nominally his disciple, it wouldn't be right for him, as the elder brother and teacher, not to attend his disciple's wedding. He had to give his younger brother face. He didn't know why, but ever since learning of Jiraiya's death, he had become increasingly sentimental...

So he had no choice but to reluctantly come to Konoha. When he saw the Sunagakure convoy, he knew that Tsunade must have returned as well, so he immediately ran to the Hokage Rock to hide for a while.

"Haha, then you'd better watch out. Tsunade said yesterday that she wanted to summon Hiruzen Sarutobi and beat them both up together... How about it? Seeing your disciple getting married, you must have a lot to say?"

"I can't believe it," Masato laughed.

It's obvious that cultivating to become an immortal requires transcending emotions, but for some reason, Orochimaru seems to be getting more and more humane these days. He even came to Konoha as a rogue ninja to attend Nawaki's wedding. My god, he's almost as sentimental as Kakuzu.

It's one thing for Kakuzu to openly take Hidan to Sunagakure's wedding as a rogue ninja, since Kakuzu wasn't a rogue ninja from any of the major villages. Although he was once a member of the Akatsuki and had even attacked the tailed beasts of Iwagakure, he eventually stopped himself and left the group without being stubborn. The World War was over, and even Onoki didn't want to mess with this former partner.

But Orochimaru is different. He's a genuine Konoha rogue ninja who killed the Hokage. If others knew, they would definitely shut down the gate and let him fight to a standstill. Who wouldn't be afraid of a tough guy who can go toe-to-toe with the old man of the Six Paths?

Despite the danger, Snake still came, just to catch a glimpse of his little brother's wedding.

Are you moved?

"I've been going through some materials lately, comparing them with what the Sage of Six Paths told us back then, and I've discovered some incredible things. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Orochimaru clearly didn't want to continue this topic, which might get him beaten up by Tsunade.

"What is so powerful that you can't even tell it?"

Masato raised an eyebrow and said.

"The Sage of Six Paths once said that his mother suddenly descended to this world, meaning that she was not originally from this world, but came to it through some means. Moreover, her task was to guard the divine tree. Aren't you curious about where she came from and why she guards the divine tree? Was the Sage of Six Paths' mother alone or with a group of people?"

As Snake spoke, his eyes gleamed with wisdom.

The Sage of Six Paths' mother, powerful and transcending life and death, successfully attracted him. After the war ended, he consulted a great deal of information, wanting to know if there were such powerful and transcendent beings in the world. This was truly the goal he had always pursued.

"Huh? What did you find out? The Sage of Six Paths' mother descended into this world over a thousand years ago. Although I haven't read many books, according to my nephew, the recorded history of the ninja world is only a few hundred years old, right? There's no record of whether the Sage of Six Paths existed before that, is there?"

Shindou frowned. The plot he knew ended after Kaguya was sealed away. As for the second part, he hadn't watched it at all, so he was completely clueless about what Orochimaru was saying.

However, judging from normal human thinking, if Kaguya suddenly descended into this world, it proves that there must be other worlds outside of this one, and that Kaguya must have accomplices.

"Hehe, you're right. There are no records of events from thousands of years ago. However, I'm pretty sure there are other worlds outside of ours, and the Sage of Six Paths' mother was from another world. Their mission here was to guard the divine tree. If our world is like this, are other worlds like this too? And who are those people, and why are they doing this?"

“(⊙_⊙)?(⊙_⊙)?”

"This... such a high-level question, you should probably summon Second Master and discuss it with him. -_-||"

Shinto was completely baffled by Orochimaru's profound question.

I know what they are: aliens.

Why the hell should I know...?

1230. Snake is amazing! He even guessed the plot of the second movie! (The End)

"..."

Snake was a bit delayed. He did want to discuss this kind of question with others, since it's easy to go from something to nothing, and it's also easy to go from nothing to something. But going from nothing to something is not so simple. He had once tried to summon the Second Hokage, the great scientist of the previous generation, to discuss it with him, but he felt that his style didn't match the Second Hokage's and that they wouldn't be able to create a chemical reaction, so he never did.

"...Fine, just say it straight. What exactly are you trying to say? I'm confused by what you're saying."

Seeing that Orochimaru remained silent, Masato asked another question.

"...What I'm trying to say is, since there's more than one person similar to the Sage of Six Paths' mother, there must be similar people in other worlds as well. Although we don't know their purpose in guarding the Divine Tree, one thing is certain: the Sage of Six Paths' mother was sealed away, which means her mission in this world must have failed. So, if those people discover that her mission in this world has failed, will they send her back to descend upon our world again...?"
