Narration system starting from Konoha

"Kakashi-sensei is so mean! He's so strong, which girl could possibly be his match? They'd all be beaten to death by him!" Naruto said innocently.

"Pah, you filthy scoundrel."

"boring."

[Sakura feigns indifference, but deep down she's curious to find out more.]

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't, and I don't want to investigate," Sakura quickly retorted.

Kakashi, who was observing the situation from the shadows, had veins bulging on his face and was determined to find an opportunity to teach Ku a lesson.

"Haha, so Kakashi-sensei was spying on us. I thought he was doing something shady."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just observing how you cooperate to prepare for choosing a mission next."

Kakashi slowly walked out and headed straight for the sky, saying, "It seems you harbor quite a grudge against me, talking behind your back about your Jonin teacher. I think it's necessary to let you experience the fist of your teacher's love."

[Kakashi finally found a reasonably acceptable reason to beat up the empty shell and vent his anger.]

"Kakashi-sensei, how can a Jonin lay a hand on his own student? I need to help the old lady cross the street, so I'll go first."

[Thinking to myself, I wonder when Kakashi-sensei will get married. Then I'll beat up his kid every day to vent my anger.]

"I'll avenge my future child first."

Kakashi leaped up and appeared beside Sora in a flash.

"Boom."

Smoke instantly enveloped Kong's surroundings, purple smoke mixed with red chili powder.

This also blocked Kakashi's view. Sora quickly lay down on the ground, took out a gas mask from his ninja tool bag, and put it on.

"Ouch, this is pungent, what is this? Achoo!"

"Cough cough."

[Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were simultaneously enveloped by smoke bombs, giving them a feeling of being on the verge of death and coming back to life.]

Seeing that things were not going well, Kakashi used the Substitution Jutsu to escape, finally escaping a disaster. Being covered in chili powder was not a pleasant feeling.

"Ku, you bastard, if you're going to deal with Kakashi-sensei, why are you including us too?" Sasuke's dissatisfied voice rang out.

[Chili powder is Sasuke's nightmare. He experienced it twice yesterday, almost developing a phobia of it. And today, he was hit with it again for no reason.]

"I'm sorry, but you can blame Kakashi-sensei. This is just a form of self-defense."

Sora walked out of the smoke area with an air of nonchalance. At this moment, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were all in tears.

[The three men stared at the gas mask on Kong's face, cursing him countless times in their minds.]

[Kou casually removed his gas mask, as if he had done something insignificant. Anyway, he still had more than ten gas canisters in his pocket. As long as Kakashi-sensei didn't get serious, he wouldn't get beaten up today.]

[I wonder if Kakashi-sensei will follow Sasuke or Naruto when he rushes up again, or maybe follow Sakura. Those empty chili powders cost money, so someone has to taste them; we can't let them go to waste.]

"Shh."

The three of them quickly moved away, wishing their parents had given them two more legs.

Kakashi rolled his eyes and said, "What a clever little devil. Today's mission is over. Submit the mission, collect your reward, and then we're dismissed."

[Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. They had been living on edge with a ticking time bomb, but now they could finally relax.]

[Kong is still figuring out how to increase the quality of the chili powder without affecting, or even expanding, the coverage area of ​​the smoke bomb.]

The three of them shuddered and quickly dragged Kakashi away from the scene. Having experienced being coated in chili powder once, they definitely didn't want to try it a second time.

Sasuke, in particular, has been made extremely embarrassed three times in a row.

Outside the mission hall, the four were overjoyed with their mission rewards.

Especially Kong, who carefully examined each bill over and over again, fearing that there might be counterfeit money among them.

Sasuke glanced at Uchiha Sora, thinking, "What a disgrace to the Uchiha clan."

"Erzhuzi, what do you know? You eat and train every day, which costs money. If it weren't for me taking care of this family, you would be starving."

Sasuke snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to Sora. He still had a lot of things that he had moved from the clan's territory back then; he could easily sell them off and that would be enough to live on for several years.

He slapped Sasuke on the back of the head.

"You're such a spendthrift! The Uchiha clan only has so much wealth, and you're already thinking of selling it off. All of this is the capital for the future revitalization of the Uchiha clan."

"You want to revitalize the family? How? You can come up with that with just a few words. If you hadn't been born a little earlier than me, I would have beaten you to death, you good-for-nothing."

Naruto and Sakura were stunned. The situation seemed to have reversed. In the past, Sasuke looked down on Ku, but now it was Ku who was teaching Sasuke a lesson.

[Feeling refreshed and invigorated, he could finally give Erzhuzi a good scolding, and Erzhuzi couldn't find a reason to refute him.]

Sasuke was filled with rage. He remembered clearly how Sora had sold off the family's antiques to make ends meet the first time, and now he was being betrayed.

[A complete reversal; Naruto and Sakura are struggling to keep up]

Kakashi didn't expect things to take a turn for the better. Hopefully, Sasuke can teach Ku a good lesson; that kid really deserves a beating.

Sasuke gritted his teeth.

"Uchiha Sora, you're asking for death."

"Hmph, you have the nerve to talk back to me? We were desperate back then, which is why we sold our antiques. Otherwise, we would have starved to death."

"Start earning money by doing tasks now. As long as you're frugal, it'll be enough for your daily expenses. You're just too inflexible; you don't know how to adapt to different situations."

[Hollowing out my stomach felt as refreshing as drinking iced plum juice on a sweltering summer day. Erzhuzi always liked to act like an older brother and gossip, and this time he finally got his revenge.]

"you....."

Sasuke glared at Sora, then turned and walked out.

"Ku, you've gone too far, Sasuke, wait for me."

Sakura quickly chased after him.

"Women in love really do lose their brains. Kakashi-sensei, Naruto, we've been on missions all day, how about we grab a bite to eat together?"

"Ku, is Sasuke alright?"

Naruto was a little worried about Sasuke. Although the two hadn't gotten along in the past, after a day's mission, he found Sasuke to be quite alright.

"Don't worry about him. What's this setback? He just got scolded by his own brother."

[If Sasuke can't even handle this little setback, then I think Sasuke's talk of revenge is just wishful thinking. It would be better for him to stay in Konoha, get married, have children, and strengthen the Uchiha clan.]

Chapter Eleven: The Seeds of Doubt

Kakashi glanced at Sora with surprise. Staying in Konoha was indeed safer than seeking revenge against Itachi. With Sasuke's strength, it was practically suicide.

"Does Kakashi-sensei also agree with my point of view? It would be better to let Sasuke stay in Konoha to have children."

"Look at Sakura's big butt, she could easily have ten or eight kids."

Naruto scratched his head. "What does having a big butt have to do with giving birth?"

"Haha, isn't there a saying that big butts are good for childbearing?"

The three of them eventually followed Naruto's advice and ate at Ichiraku Ramen, with Kakashi paying for it.

This saved me the cost of a meal.

As the sun sets, a figure trains around a wooden stake, suddenly throwing out eight kunai with both hands, which strike the target with lightning speed and hit the bullseye in the blink of an eye.

"Clap clap."

A burst of applause came from the forest. Sasuke quickly turned around and swept his sharp eyes over the sound.

"who."

"Don't be so nervous, it's me. I didn't expect to find you training here."

Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that it was empty.

"What are you doing here?"

“We’re like brothers, of course I’d train with you.”

Sasuke felt like he'd heard a huge joke. Even a lazy bum knows how to train, but hasn't he always been taking the wrong path?

"Don't say that. You've been training for so long and you still can't beat me. Going to take revenge on Itachi is just suicide."

What's the point of training alone? A wooden stake is just an inanimate object; only sparring with living people can increase your practical combat experience.

Sasuke outwardly disagreed, but inwardly he agreed with Sora's words; however, Sora's smoke bombs always made him somewhat wary.

Kong Lie smiled and said, "I won't use smoke bombs. Since I intend to improve together with you, I will naturally use my true strength."

Sasuke laughed inwardly, finally getting a chance to beat Ku to a pulp and teach him a lesson.

"Erzhuzi, don't underestimate people. It's not certain who will beat whom up."

Sasuke suddenly rushed over, like a black shadow. He leaped up with his feet on the ground and thrust his right fist out, aiming for Kong's head.

[Such fast speed]

Kong's eyes narrowed slightly, his powerful dynamic abilities allowing him to see everything clearly.

With a powerful thrust of his legs and a forceful twist of his body, a fist grazed past him.

Sasuke kicked out with one leg through the air.

Kong resisted the urge to throw a smoke grenade, the whistling wind ringing in his ears.

Aiming at Sasuke's ankle, he threw a punch.

"Boom."

Sasuke groaned and fell to the ground, his ankle throbbing with pain.

Sasuke couldn't believe it. How could Ku possess such strength? Wasn't he supposed to be a pushover? How could he have defeated him in a direct confrontation?

"Erzhuzi, even a salted fish can turn over; you're just lagging behind."

"Hmph, let's continue our sparring."

As they were talking, Sasuke charged forward again, this time much more cautious than before, and swiftly delivered a whip kick.
