Shock!
When Masato stood on the stage, delivering his passionate and eloquent speech, "I Have a Dream," the students below, including his homeroom teacher, Tani, as well as Shamon and Sunakawa, who were somewhere in the classroom, were all stunned!
Gu Sha and his companions below were utterly astonished, especially when Zhen Dou mentioned sleeping with their girls and making their children call him "Dad." Every male present swallowed hard! When they heard about the benefits of invading Konoha, their eyes lit up; they couldn't wait to grow up, draw their swords, and charge into battle to raid Konoha, seize resources, and steal girls...
What a magnificent dream!
At this moment, they realized that their dream of becoming the Kazekage and protecting the village was nothing but trash compared to Shinto's grand dream!
This is how a true man should live!
somewhere in the classroom, Shamen clenched his fist tightly, the knuckles making a loud "pia!pia!" sound—excitement!
That's right! After the initial shock, the monk was extremely excited!
Looking at Masato, I was incredibly excited. I wish I could have a son like Miyako Masato!
Although Shinto's dream is rather radical, if he had said this in Konoha, he would definitely have been assigned to be a teammate of Danzo, the notorious villain and friend of Konoha's Root. This is because Konoha's mainstream ideology is to promote peace, and the idea of attacking other villages is useless no matter how talented you are. Konoha has no shortage of geniuses.
However, things are different in the desolate Sand Village of the Land of Wind. They do love peace, that's true, but only if it allows them to develop better. The problem now is that in this barren desert, there's no way to develop. As long as their intentions are good for the village, they're willing to start a war even if it means doing so.
The reason Shamen was so excited was that although the child's ideas were somewhat extreme, he had the village in his heart and his starting point was for the good of the village, and that was enough!
σ(⊙▽⊙a!!
At this moment, Sunagawa, who was behind Shamon, seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and he understood!
His dream had always been to become the Kazekage and protect the village, but after hearing Masato's words, he suddenly realized the truth!
Sometimes it's good to think differently! The role of the Wind Shadow is to lead the village to prosperity and strength, so how can we make the village strong?
Isn't raiding rich villages a quick and convenient way to achieve this?
From that moment on, Sunakawa began to think like the Kazekage: wasn't their village's slow development simply due to a lack of resources?
Want resources? Just rob them! This world is a dog-eat-dog world; peace is just an excuse used by the strong...
13. If you only have strengths, then you only have weaknesses.
The first day at school ended before everyone had even recovered from Masato's "grand dream".
However, Masato's "great dream" only caused a big stir in his class. Once they left the classroom, the children were silenced by their parents waiting at the school gate, and it didn't cause any ripples in the whole school.
In terms of safety hazards, Shamon, the Kazekage, has done a very good job. Shinto's idea is good, and his dream is also great.
But... we can't reveal this idea yet, we still have a father figure in Konoha!
Although Hashirama Senju, the "God of Shinobi," was seriously injured in his great battle with his best friend Madara Uchiha, he was still alive. Shamon, who lived through the era of Hashirama Senju, knew just how powerful this "God of Shinobi" was; their oasis in the Land of Wind was still there.
Even if Hashirama Senju is in poor health, he would still be a force to be reckoned with if he wanted to take them down. If Konoha got wind of this, and Hashirama Senju came over and took all the hopes of the village to plant trees and water flowers, they wouldn't be able to handle him.
.......
"I'm home! Hmm?... Jie, where's your mother, all alone at home? (⊙_⊙)?"
When Masato returned home, he found that apart from Sasori's father playing in the mud in the yard, no one else was home. Kaizo should have been at the Kazekage Tower helping Shamon deal with the endless documents at this time. Chiyo usually stayed at home teaching Sasori's father, but today Sasori's father was playing in the mud at home by himself.
To be honest, as the saying goes, you can tell what a person will be like at eighty if they are three years old. The appearance of Sasori's father in front of us... well, he is indeed very cute, and even a little handsome. After all, he is the son of the second generation of the Flower of the Ninja World. Even if his appearance was lowered by Retsuto's genes, he is still not bad-looking.
However, compared to his son, Sasori, he is far inferior. He doesn't have that eye-catching quality at all. Shinto sometimes laments that there are too many cases of genetic mutation in the Naruto world. The most famous ones are the Senju brothers, Hashirama and Tobirama. Apart from his explosive fighting power and silly personality, Hashirama has no other highlights.
His younger brother, Tobirama Senju, who shared the same parents, was not only exceptionally talented, but also possessed the most handsome looks in the ninja world, consistently topping the list of the most handsome ninjas without any rivals.
As for the handsome Scorpion and his father, he was really curious how Jie, whose appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, could have given birth to his handsome son. Was it a case of skipped generations? Had the handsome Scorpion perfectly avoided his father's genes and successfully inherited all of Chiyo's genes?
But Chiyo's hair color isn't red!
"It's all because of you, you brat! Where did you copy that line you used at school? The whole village has to clean up your mess for your grand dream..."
Before Sasori's father could speak, Chiyo's annoyed voice came from behind. However, her gaze towards Masato held a hint of amusement.
Today, she was playing house with her beloved son when she discovered he had a keen sense for puppets. She was overjoyed to find he had such a talent for puppetry and decided to teach him some basics. She casually took out some of her bottles and jars to cultivate his interest in making poisons, like calling this one "Seven-Step Soul-Chasing Powder" and that one "Smiling Half-Step Madness"...
After all, an excellent puppeteer must be a master of poison making. Manipulating puppets is easy, but making poison is quite complicated.
Before she could even unpack the bottles and jars, a younger colleague rushed over. She had something important to discuss with her colleague, and it seemed quite urgent, so she left her precious son behind and hurriedly followed the younger colleague to see what it was about.
When they arrived at Fengying Tower, they heard Shamen vividly recount the brat's speech during his self-introduction.
At first, she and her younger brother Haicang were also dumbfounded!
Such a passionate speech really came from the mouth of Masato, who has never studied anything and only learned from Retsuto.
If Sunagawa and Shamon hadn't guaranteed their happiness for the rest of their lives, they would never have believed that Masato, that naughty brat, could utter such passionate words!
As Retsuto's nephew, it's not surprising that a kid raised in Sunagakure would have thoughts of attacking Konoha, especially a free-spirited kid like Shinto, given how harsh the living conditions are here and how prosperous Konoha is.
What surprised them even more was that Shamon actually planned to groom this brat as the successor to the Kazekage. Chiyo had no objection to Shamon's idea. She had watched Masato grow up since he was a child, and he was practically like a mother to her. Moreover, his talent was undeniable; he had awakened an extraordinary ability at the age of five. It wouldn't be bad if he were to become the next Kazekage.
Training a Kazekage is no easy task. It is hundreds of times more difficult than training a Daimyo. A Daimyo only needs to eat, drink, and have fun, and he can fully support Sunagakure. Anyone is fine with that.
However, training a Kazekage is much more difficult. First of all, as the Kazekage of one of the five great ninja villages in the ninja world, being strong is a prerequisite. That kid's talent of having his Achilles tendon grow to his butt is obvious to the naked eye. He needs to develop in a sneaky way for more than ten years, and he will definitely be quite awesome.
Then there's the matter of having both virtue and talent. Without the virtue and talent to convince people, one naturally cannot become the Kazekage. Otherwise, what if the village is demoted?
As for that kid's character and talent... Chiyo and Kaizo really wanted to know what other shining qualities Shamon saw in Shinto that made him determined to train that brat as the Kazekage's successor.
That kid has been recklessly criticizing people since he was a child, relying on his powerful backers. He's insulted almost every high-ranking person in the village. If it weren't for the protection of the first generation and the others, it's questionable whether he could have survived until now. His character is clearly terrible.
As for talent... he's still too young, we don't know if he has any yet. We'll have to wait until they confirm whether that kid's passionate and impassioned speech in the classroom was copied or something he came up with himself before we say anything.
However, since Shamon is now in charge, face is mutual. Since Shamon has made the decision and Masato is their family, they have nothing to lose. So, everyone will first come up with a plan to address Masato's shortcomings and then correct them as he grows.
So Chiyo, Kaizo, and the top-ranking members of Shamon Village spent the entire afternoon in the Kazekage Tower, adding to their impressions of Masato's shortcomings. But what they found surprising was that they had listed quite a few of Masato's flaws over the course of the afternoon!
He's all flaws except for his strengths, and the worst part is that aside from his talent and filial piety, everything else is a complete weakness...
14. Handsome Scorpion's dad is the real deal.
As the three fell silent looking at the list of shortcomings they had compiled, Hai Zang finally discovered a proposition!
That is... they spent the whole afternoon treating Mato as the successor to the Kazekage, but it seems none of them consulted Mato himself. When he talked about his dreams in the classroom, he didn't mention wanting to be the Kazekage or anything like that.
This concerns someone's entire life, so it's best to respect their wishes.
After all, not everyone aspires to be the Wind Shadow. At least, after working as the Wind Shadow's secretary for a while, Hai Zang no longer wanted the position. Look at Sha Men now; he's only in his forties, but he looks old enough to be his grandfather.
I'm aging too fast!
He also remembered that the monk didn't seem to have a girlfriend yet.
If things continue like this, Shamon might be destined to be a single man for life. While the position of Kazekage is attractive to girls, Shamon is just too ugly...
After Haizo's explanation, Chiyo and Shamon realized that since the person in question wasn't there, there was no point in them saying anything more. It would be better for Chiyo to ask Masato about his attitude.
"Hey Chiyo-san, do I really need to copy something like this? You're underestimating me! But what does it matter to me if you're home alone? ヽ(ー_ー)ノ"
Shindou became curious. They had countless underlings in their family. Even if those classmates were silenced, it wouldn't be difficult for Chiyo to find out. Their homeroom teacher, Gu Sha, was one of the underlings of the Miyari clan. If Chiyo asked, would Gu Sha dare not to speak?
"...Shamon intends to nominate you as a candidate for the next Kazekage. What are your thoughts on this?"
Chiyo's expression turned serious as she spoke. After all, this was a crucial candidate for Kazekage, and there was no joking about it. Once the decision was made, it would be too late to back out. There were only a handful of people in the entire Sunagakure who could shoulder this great responsibility.
"Are you kidding me? A candidate for Kazekage? Me? σ(⊙▽⊙a)"
"No way! Big brother? A candidate for Wind Shadow?! σ(⊙▽⊙a)"
Now it's Sparta's turn to fight! Pointing to his own nose, he stared blankly at Chiyo. Even Sasori's father, who was standing to the side, stared blankly at his mother. Although he was only three years old, as the son of the First Kazekage, he knew more than others. Looking at his older brother, he really wondered what made this unreliable older brother so worthy of his dead father's younger brother's guidance towards becoming the Kazekage.
"I'm not kidding you. Shamen, Haizang, and I spent the whole afternoon in Fengying Tower discussing this matter. We came back just to see what you're willing to do, but you don't seem too keen on it."
Masato's reaction was within Chiyo's expectations. After all, anyone who has been in contact with the Kazekage knows how boring and tedious the position is. Masato had seen Retsuto go home to rest only in the middle of the night every day, so it was normal for him to resist the position of Kazekage.
"Of course I don't want to! I would never be Kazekage, not even as a candidate. But then again, Jie is the rightful heir, so if Uncle Shamon is willing, it wouldn't be bad to let Jie be the candidate for Kazekage."
Shinto kept shaking his head. He was joking; this morning he was thinking that the Kazekage were cursed, none of them ending well, and now it was his turn. He didn't know what was wrong with that bastard Shamon; why choose him, a member of a collateral branch, when there was a perfectly legitimate heir available...?
"Hey! Bro, no way, you just sold me out like that! o(╯□╰)o"
Hearing his older brother's words, Handsome Scorpion's father, with a embarrassed little face, complained.
"Children shouldn't interrupt adults. You are your uncle's rightful heir. Although Sunagakure isn't a privately owned village, I think everyone would be happy if you took over. What? Don't you want to help your uncle protect the village?"
Zhen Dou pinched the handsome Scorpion's father's tender face and coaxed him.
"Of course I will protect the village for my father, but what does protecting the village have to do with being the Kazekage? Mother, I don't want to be the Kazekage either! I never want to be one in this lifetime!"
Don't let Sasori's young age fool you; he's not so easily fooled. He's unaware of the love triangle between his dead father, his mother, and Madara. He always thought his dead father was overworked from being the Kazekage, and that's what Chiyo explained to him. After all, telling a child that his father can't beat someone in a one-on-one fight isn't a good thing. Generally, fathers are invincible figures in a child's mind.
Sasori's father, who always thought his dad had been overworked and worn out, naturally didn't care much for the title of Kazekage. Masato also knew why Chiyo had such a high status in Sunagakure in the original story, while the Kazekage was Sunagawa, whose son and daughter-in-law were just puppeteers. The influence of the first Kazekage of each village was extremely strong. If Sasori's father really wanted to be the Kazekage, Sunagawa wouldn't stand a chance, even if his title of "Strongest Kazekage" was genuine. Not to mention Chiyo's status, just the title of the son of the First Kazekage was enough to overshadow everything else.
Just like if Hashirama Senju's grandson were still alive, the Fourth Hokage wouldn't have had the title of the perfect ninja, the Yellow Flash. This is why Kishimoto deliberately killed him off. After all, background is sometimes more important than talent. Otherwise, do you really think that the sole heir of the Senju clan, the symbol of Konoha, would die so easily on the battlefield?
If Kishimoto hadn't intervened, and that sole heir wanted to go to the battlefield, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have gladly donned his own leather armor to act as his bodyguard...
However, seeing that Masato didn't seem to be joking, Sasori's dad immediately started shaking his mother frantically, determined to never become Kazekage in this lifetime!
"Alright, alright. Jie will no longer be the Wind Shadow... All you ever do is tease him..."
Seeing her son's pitiful look, Chiyo rolled her eyes at Masato helplessly and said irritably that she didn't care whether her son became Kazekage or not. If he wanted to, she would do her best to support him; if he didn't, it didn't matter. Although her words were a bit arrogant, given their family's status, it seemed that whether he became Kazekage or not made no difference.
"I'm just telling the truth. If Uncle Shamen passes away one day and no young talent emerges in the village, your son, my cousin, will really be forced into the role. So, Aunt Chiyo, instead of wasting your time playing the successor game with Uncle Shamen and your brother, why don't you promote the young talents in our village and make them famous? Anyway, I don't care; it's not my turn anyway."
Shinto thought about it and realized something was off. In the original story, there wasn't anyone as outstanding as him who was also connected to the First Kazekage. So, since Sasori's father didn't want to become Kazekage, Sunagawa, that effeminate guy, still had a chance. But now he's appeared, and he's so outstanding. What if it really happens to him one day? He promised his uncle to protect the village. A man's word is his bond. He can't break his vow and become a rogue ninja, can he?
Although... the reason of defecting from the village because he didn't want to become the Kazekage is pretty cool...
So it's best to give Chiyo a heads-up first.
15. The next three generations suddenly became famous.
"what!"
"drink!"
"ha!".
In the training ground of the Miyamoto clan, six-year-old Shinto was passionately practicing basic swordsmanship, wielding a wooden sword and sweating profusely. More than half a year had passed since the establishment of the Ninja Academy, and after attending school for two months, he was officially freed from the ordeal of not having to get up early every morning to go to school to clock in.
Instead, he began his own training plan. Although he didn't know if he had obtained the character template of Shiki from One Piece, since he had the power of the Float-Float Fruit, he figured he should be able to inherit the power system of the One Piece world. Otherwise, the power of the Float-Float Fruit would be fine initially, but it wouldn't be enough when the Six Paths appeared later. So why did he even get transported to the miserable Sunagakure? Just for fun...
In One Piece, besides Devil Fruit abilities, there are the three types of Haki, the Six Powers of the Navy, and swordsmanship. However, the three types of Haki are still a bit too early for him. At only six years old, his body isn't strong enough to awaken Armament Haki. As for Observation Haki and that cool-looking Conqueror's Haki, he has no clue about them at all. He also doesn't know the Six Powers of the Navy. When he watched One Piece, he only watched for the Devil Fruit effects and skipped the dialogue. Who knows how the Six Powers of the Navy are trained?
