Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Senju Kijima's voice trembled slightly as he spoke weakly.

boom!

"Shinto-kun, Tsunade has brought Konoha's White Fang out of Konoha... Huh? Koma, what's wrong with you?"

Just then, after a puff of white smoke, the little slug appeared on Masato's shoulder. Before she could finish speaking, she saw Tsunade's father, dressed in a "long robe," with a deathly pale face.

117. Just look at all the shady things your old man did to the Tailed Beasts back then.

We're old acquaintances!

As Hashirama Senju's summoning beast, even though that loser Hashirama didn't summon it, it still recognized Hashirama's son.

"...Slug-sama, it's not right for you to betray Tsuna as soon as you come out..."

Senju Koma weakly rolled his eyes. "You were my father's teammate, the heirloom of our Senju clan! How could you betray Tsunade after only a few years with this kid..."

"Don't say that. Shinto-kun isn't a bad person, but I think Tsunade might have some misunderstanding with him. Hmm? Your life force is exhausted, how could this be?"

Miss Slug was a little embarrassed by what Senju Koma said, and then she noticed that Senju Koma seemed to be on the verge of death. She asked worriedly, after all, he was a child she had watched grow up, and as an elder, she naturally had to care about how her junior died, so that Tsunade could take revenge in the future.

"Well... in the Land of Water, I encountered the Six-Tails confronting a group of Mist Ninja. For some reason, after the Six-Tails noticed me, it kept targeting me and attacking me..."

Senju Koma pursed his lips. This kid is a good person? If he had more time, he really wanted to see what kind of motivational talk this kid had given his father's teammates. The kid didn't seem like a good person at all... However, after hearing about his own experiences, Senju Koma was also confused. The way the Six-Tails confronted him was much more formidable than when he fought with the Mist Ninja. If he hadn't been strong enough, he and his three underlings would have been dead.

(⊙_⊙)！

Seeing Senju Kima's bewildered and frustrated expression, Masato and Slug exchanged a glance and stared at him in utter confusion.

Holy crap! Considering all the awful things your dad did to the Tailed Beasts back then, the fact that the Six-Tails didn't cross the ocean to kill you already shows that the Six-Tails is inherently kind, and you're acting all aggrieved...ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

"That bastard's in the sky! Jiraiya, shoot that bastard down!! (▼he▼メ)"

"boom!"

Just then, Tsunade's voice came from below, followed by a thud.

Jiraiya: It's too high! I'm powerless to do it!! -_-||

"...Huh? What a coincidence! Tsunade hasn't changed much in the years I haven't seen her...but she's gotten more and more beautiful!"

Masato, along with Senju Koma and Sasori's father, landed on a large tree. Ignoring the people around Tsunade, he gave her a once-over. Aside from having a strong girlish aura, she hadn't grown much yet; she was still flat-chested...

"You little bastard, how dare you harass my daughter... cough cough cough...! (-"- Angry)"

Senju Kima, who was only able to move his mouth due to his fear of heights and loss of life force, couldn't sit still after hearing Masato's words. To him, the bastard's eyes and tone sounded like a flirtation!

"Hey, hey, hey! Complimenting a lady on her beauty and a gentleman on his age is basic etiquette, isn't it? Jie, you're so cultured, you're right, aren't you?"

Seeing Senju Kima's furious expression, Shinto said this to Sasori's father, speechless.

"It seems...that's correct."

Handsome Scorpion's father thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed mentioned in the book, but he always felt that it was strange to hear his older brother say it, but he didn't know what was wrong with it.

"Asshole! Give it to me...(▼へ▼メ)"

"Wait, Tsunade! That's Lady Kima!"

Tsunade, already caught up in the moment, didn't notice the person Masato was carrying. She was about to roll up her sleeves and get to work when Hatake Sakumo spotted the life-or-death Senju Koma and quickly stopped her.

"Dad? You bastard! What did you do to my dad? Let him go, and come at me if you dare!"

Upon hearing Sakumo Hatake's words, Tsunade finally noticed the Senju Kima that Masato had mentioned, and, thinking that Masato had done something heinous to his father, her anger flared even more.

"...Thank goodness you're not dead. If you had, I'd be in deep trouble even if I jumped into the sea... Hey! Tsunade, I'd have guts, but you're too young. I'll come after you when you're older... Your dad's about to collapse. Do you want to dawdle here and let him miss seeing your grandma and the others one last time, or do you want me to take him back..."

Seeing that Tsunade truly regarded him as her father's killer, patting her tablet as if she were ready to come at him, Masato sighed helplessly.

"What? Dad, you..."

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me!"

Upon hearing Masato's words, Tsunade's mind went blank for a moment. Before she could say anything, Sakumo Hatake, realizing the gravity of the situation, decisively interrupted her, finished speaking to Masato, and quickly turned to lead the way.

The head of the Senju clan, the son of the first sage, is about to die!

This village is about to have a major earthquake!

"Just now... just now that bastard said Tsunade's dad couldn't hold on anymore?"

Jiraiya trembled as he asked the deep-voiced Orochimaru beside him, as if he had misheard. Although Orochimaru was a bit slow-witted, he wasn't brainless. Who was Tsunade's father? The First Hokage's son! His prestige in the village far surpassed that of his Hokage teacher.

"Why........"

Snake sighed softly and remained silent. Having experienced the deaths of both his parents, Snake had developed a detached attitude towards life and death...

......

"Hokage-sama! Lord Kima is critically injured and on the verge of death. The Anbu commander has gone to the Senju clan's territory!"

"boom!"

"What?! Take me there right now!! σ(⊙▽⊙a)"

In the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi, having nothing better to do, was actually preparing to use his personal crystal ball to check on the health of the Konoha girls when an Anbu member appeared in front of him in a flurry of words, rattling off like a machine gun.

Upon hearing the Anbu's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi sprang up from his stool with a whoosh. Due to the excessive force, he smashed a hole in the ceiling and also bumped his head, but he had no time to care about the injuries on his head and the ceiling. He flashed out of the Hokage Building and rushed towards the Senju clan.

That's the seed of the First Hokage! The Senju clan was able to support Hiruzen Sarutobi entirely because of this elder brother. Just a few days ago, they were laughing at Iwagakure for being unlucky, and now it's Konoha's turn!

"Big brother, are all the high-ranking officials of Konoha here? σ(⊙▽⊙a)"

At this moment, the Senju clan's territory was teeming with people. All the prominent clan leaders from across Konoha had arrived. Fortunately, the Senju clan's territory was large enough to accommodate so many people. Looking at the crowd of people with various Konoha clan emblems and symbols, the handsome crab father beside Shinto clicked his tongue and said to Shinto...

He vaguely remembered the scene of his father's death, which was also a grand occasion. Every single one of the village's high-ranking officials came. However, in terms of headcount, it was much weaker than the scene now, or rather, there were just too many high-ranking officials from Konoha.

However, being surrounded by a group of Konoha high-ranking officials was quite an uncomfortable feeling...

118. The one inside is the number one fighter in Konoha.

"Let me see, Uchiha... Hyuga... Ino-Shika-Cho... Aburame... Danzo... Hmm, except for Hiruzen Sarutobi, they're probably all here."

Shinto ignored Danzo, who had been flirting with him ever since he came in, and looked around before speaking.

Although he had no idea what Danzo, that incompetent teammate, was up to, this guy was flirting with him in public, as if he wanted everyone to know about his hobby... What a shameless old lecher... ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

After Shinto sent Senju Koma to the Senju clan, the heads of the various clans in Konoha arrived. When they entered and saw him there, they were surprised for a moment, but the next second they immediately put on a sad face. This masterful ability to change faces was almost as good as Onoki's nose magic.

Whether it was genuine or not, the atmosphere was certainly created perfectly.

"That's ridiculous! Anyone who didn't know better would think their Hokage was dead!"

Handsome Scorpion's father secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

"The Hokage is nothing compared to their clan. See that one inside? Your mother's ex, the first Flower of the Ninja World, a top-tier ninja, she's the current number one ninja in Konoha. Most of these people are here because of her... I reckon when Hiruzen Sarutobi arrives, he'll be crying his eyes out, more heartbroken than if his father had died..."

Shinto winked at Sasori's father, who was saying goodbye to his son at the very back.

"No way? He's the Hokage, after all..."

"Brother Kima! Where is Brother Kima?! What happened?"

Before Sasori's father could believe it, a hoarse, sorrowful roar came from outside. Immediately afterward, Hiruzen Sarutobi rushed in, tears and snot streaming down his face, sobbing uncontrollably. He perfectly portrayed the grief of a father who had just died, instantly drawing the surrounding atmosphere to its peak. Those around him also began to weep softly, their eyes filled with tears…

After entering, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced around with a sorrowful look in his eyes. When he spotted Masato in the crowd, his pupils contracted. What was that kid doing here again! Could it be that he also caused trouble for Brother Kima?

It’s really crazy...ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

"Si Guoyi! That's amazing! Big brother, you guessed it all!"

Handsome Scorpion's father said incredulously, as if he were seeing his older brother for the first time.

"This is what they call politics. You're not the Wind Shadow anymore, so just knowing about it is enough; there's no need to study it..."

Masato shrugged and said, "This kind of trope has been overused in palace dramas; only the kids in this world find it novel..."

"Hey you two, I'm still here. It's not appropriate to say these things in front of me...ヽ(ー_ー)ノ"

Sakumo Hatake looked at the two brothers speechlessly. If they hadn't brought people over, he would have kicked them out long ago.

"We're practically family, your mouth is tighter than Zhou Yu's. This handsome young man must be Orochimaru, a once-in-a-century genius like you in Konoha, right? He looks like a quiet, handsome man, not the type to talk big. And this... White Fang, your brother? But your brother's a bit ugly, he doesn't have any of your Hatake clan's genes at all..."

Shinto patted Hatake Sakumo like a good brother, then looked at the handsome young Orochimaru before turning his gaze to Jiraiya, who was waiting for his praise. Less than a second later, he turned back to Hatake Sakumo with a look of disgust.

"You bastard! You're the ugly one! My name is Jiraiya! Not his brother... You despicable bastard! 凸(艹皿艹)"

Jiraiya instantly exploded. You can call him stupid, you can call him a lecher, but you absolutely cannot call him ugly, especially since he just praised Snake as a beautiful boy, and now he's calling him ugly! Jiraiya is universally acknowledged to be more handsome than Snake! (▼he▼メ)

But just as he was about to unleash his fury, he realized the atmosphere was tense. Everyone's eyes were on him, and their tone softened. He just glared fiercely at Masato, gritting his teeth, as if the blond man before him were the long-lost murderer of his father...

"...I'm the only one left in the Hatake clan now, and my father doesn't have any mistresses outside..."

Everyone knew it was a joke, but at that moment, Sakumo Hatake turned around and looked at Masato seriously, saying...

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd behind him burst into laughter...

Dude! Didn't you realize he was flirting with Jiraiya? Why are you taking it so seriously?! -_-||

"......(⊙_⊙)"

Shinto was used to Sakumo Hatake's straightforwardness, but Sasori's father wasn't. He looked at this Konoha's White Fang, who was on par with his older brother, with a bewildered expression. How did his older brother become friends with him...?

"...I didn't expect the famous Golden Lion of Sunagakure would know my name..."

After giving his friend a disdainful look, the handsome young Orochimaru looked at Shinto and said calmly, "This Sand Village Golden Lion is just as I analyzed him after meeting him a few years ago. He has a naturally big heart and is extremely confident in himself. He and his younger brother are alone in Konoha and surrounded by so many people, yet he remains calm and composed, treating this place as if it were his own home. Just this confidence alone surpasses most people."

"What famous? It's just that friends in the ninja world are giving you face. By then, everyone will know your name, the super genius Orochimaru. But looking at your wrinkled clothes, aren't you having a good time living in Konoha? Have you ever thought about finding another way out? A genius like you is wasted in Konoha. Come to our Sunagakure, and I guarantee you'll be able to fly... Hey, hey, hey! White Fang, put down your sword. It was just a joke, no need to draw your sword. There are so many powerful people in Konoha here; fighting and killing isn't good..."

Masato was only halfway through his rant when he saw Sakumo Hatake draw a short blade. He immediately pulled Sasori's father back to a safe distance, saying, "This guy really knows how to stab when he's serious. He doesn't care, he'll just feel a little pain, but Sasori's father's frail body can't take it..."

"...Is the Four-Tails Jinchuriki in your hands? If so, hand him over and I'll return him to Iwagakure for you. The ninja world needs peace right now."

Sakumo Hatake rolled his eyes, didn't sheathe the short blade, took two steps forward, and whispered something to him.

Swish swish!

Although Hatake Sakumo's voice was soft, everyone present, except for the Senju clan members at the very back and Hiruzen Sarutobi who were warmly bidding farewell to Senju Konma, all turned to look at him. Danzo, in particular, was a terrible teammate, whose eyes were shining and whose ears were strained to hear a single word!

Now, who in the ninja world doesn't know that this Golden Lion of Sunagakure went to Iwagakure to unleash the Five-Tails and fight the Four-Tails? Although Sunagakure has a reason for saying that the guy is recuperating at home due to occupational disease, but... damn it, this guy has already come to Konoha, what kind of recuperation is he talking about!

They were absolutely certain that he was responsible for the events at Iwagakure, and even that Senju Koma's death was related to him!
