The Hokage... wants to take him in as his adopted son?

This is even more absurd than Shukaku suddenly becoming a vegetarian!

"What? You're not happy about it?"

Uchiha Enoki raised an eyebrow.

"So many people want to be my son, but I wouldn't accept them. I only made an exception because you have some potential and seem kind of pitiful."

His tone carried a hint of condescension, but there was a subtle calculation in his eyes—tsk tsk, the master of collecting "sons" of the ninja world, it seems I'm not bad.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Raikage and the others were a bit too old!

Gaara looked at the man in front of him, whose roguish smile had given him a warmth and "approval" he had never experienced before.

Seeing the genuine ease and strength in his eyes that conveyed a sense of security, the crack in my heart was instantly shattered by a massive torrent of desire.

"Godfather... Godfather..."

His voice was barely audible, with a heavy nasal tone, and his face was flushed red.

"Hmm, that's more like it."

Uchiha Ei nodded in satisfaction, then magically produced a specially made kunai with an antique design and placed it in Gaara's hand.

“Take this. When you miss me, or when you encounter a big problem that you can’t solve (he emphasized these words), take it out and look at it. There are some little things inside so that I can know about them.”

On the handle of that kunai was engraved an extremely subtle mark that emitted strange spatial fluctuations—it was the coordinate mark leading to the Great Luo Cave Heaven.

Gaara gripped the cold kunai tightly, as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

A warm current spread from his palms to his whole body, dispelling the chill of the desert night and also dispelling the gloom that had accumulated in his heart for many years.

He is no longer the "Shura" that no one loved!

Chapter 208, The Ninja World's Number One Rap Competition

A lone plume of smoke rises straight from the vast desert, while the setting sun hangs round over the long river!

"Alright, kid, it's getting dark, it's time to take you home."

Uchiha Enoki stood up and stretched.

"Remember, don't tell anyone about what happened today except Yashamaru."

Live well, and become stronger.

Don't let down your mother's sand, and don't let down your godfather's judgment.

Next time we meet, I hope to see a decent Kazekage prospect, not just a crybaby.

He ruffled Gaara's hair one last time, the movement still rough, yet carrying a strange intimacy.

Before Gaara could say anything more, his figure vanished without a trace, as if blending into the twilight, leaving only a faint ripple of chakra in the air.

Gaara stood alone under the gradually descending night sky, his small hand tightly clutching the kunai bearing the mark of "Da Luo Dong Tian".

Looking in the direction where Uchiha Elephant disappeared, a flame called "hope" and "goal" ignited for the first time in her emerald eyes.

As the wind and sand blew by, the gourd behind him quietly protected him, like a mother's gentle embrace.

Adoptive father... Uchiha Sō... Fifth Hokage...

He was no longer alone.

……

"Flying Thunder God Technique - Great Luo Cave Heaven Improved Version!"

The sandstorm from Sunagakure had just subsided when Uchiha Sō appeared like a ghost in a completely different land—the Land of Waterfalls.

Here, waterfalls cascade like dragons, and the air is filled with mist, creating a stark contrast to the dryness of the Land of Winds.

The village of Takigakure is hidden behind this huge waterfall, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"Tsk, hiding its head and showing its tail, just like that big fluttering moth Seven-Tail."

Uchiha Elephant stood before the enormous waterfall, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan piercing through the water curtain, clearly "seeing" the trajectory of the village's inner barrier.

He made no attempt to conceal his identity, wearing the iconic Hokage robe (though the collar was open, revealing no trace of authority), and sporting a nonchalant yet slightly disdainful expression.

"Stealth? Too much trouble."

He muttered something to himself and casually formed a hand seal—not any ninjutsu, but simply to draw upon the vast chakra within his body.

boom--!

An invisible, terrifying pressure, seemingly from the primordial era, erupted from his body like a tangible tsunami!

The air seemed to groan under the immense pressure, and the massive waterfall was momentarily severed by this overwhelming force!

The natural barrier upon which Takigakure depended for survival was rendered useless in the face of this absolute power.

"Enemy attack! High alert!!"

The village was instantly filled with alarms, and countless ninjas rushed out from their hiding places, their faces filled with horror.

They only saw a figure strolling leisurely through the newly closed waterfall, stepping out of the water curtain, the Hokage's robes fluttering in the swirling steam.

"The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Sō?!"

The leader of Takigakure recognized the newcomer, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"Why...why..."

"Oh, just passing by, need to borrow something."

Uchiha Elephant grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, but his eyes were sharp as knives, instantly locking onto a panicked orange-haired girl in the village—the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, Fu.

"Just one of the 'characteristics' of that fluttering moth inside her."

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished!

When it reappeared, it was already hovering directly above Fu.

The Seven-Tailed Chongming within Fu felt an unprecedented threat, letting out a sharp hiss, and its seven-colored scales instinctively burst forth, attempting to obscure its vision.

"Noisy."

Uchiha Mako frowned slightly, and a surge of purple light erupted from his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!

After refining a portion of the "pure" Otsutsuki essence, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan also "evolved," allowing him to unleash "a little" of the Rinnegan's power.

After all, Isshiki Otsutsuki already possessed the Rinnegan!

That makes sense, right?

"Wheel Graveyard: Border Prison!"

Four invisible "Limbo" shadows descended instantly, ignoring physical attacks and scale interference, and precisely pinned down Fu's limbs. The powerful binding force prevented her from even completing her tailed beast transformation!

"Quiet down, little girl, I'll be fine soon, it won't hurt!"

Uchiha Sho's voice carried a strange soothing quality, but his actions were utterly ruthless.

He placed one hand lightly on Fu's head, and a miniature projection of the Great Luo Cave Heaven appeared in his palm.

A mysterious suction force pierced through Fu's body, precisely seizing the unique fundamental imprints of the laws of "flight," "scale powder illusion," and "insect life" of Seven-Tailed Chongming.

"Roar--!"

Chongming let out a painful scream inside Fu's body, and the seven-colored energy, like rainbow light being drawn by an invisible vortex, surged wildly into Uchiha Xiang's palm.

Fu herself fell into a coma due to the violent energy fluctuations.

The whole process took only a few breaths.

When the ninjas of Takigakure mustered their courage and rushed forward, they only saw their Seven-Tails Jinchuriki lying limp on the ground.

The Fifth Hokage withdrew his hand with satisfaction. On the miniature projection of the Divine Tree in his palm, the seventh mysterious pattern representing "insect wings and phantom scales" was shining with seven-colored light, completely completing the design!

"It's done."

Uchiha Elephant clapped his hands, as if he were just dusting off some dirt.

He glanced at the terrified Waterfall ninja and said jokingly, "Don't be nervous, he's not dead. He just borrowed some 'pollen,' he'll recover after a while. Remember to make sure the door (referring to the waterfall) is sturdier next time."

Before the leader of the Takigakure ninja could say anything more, Uchiha Sho's figure had already transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky, leaving behind a mess on the ground and a group of dumbfounded Takigakure ninja.

"Next target... Land of Lightning, Eight-Tailed Gyūki, and that rapping idiot."

Hidden Cloud Village, nestled atop a towering mountain, is renowned for its martial spirit and lightning release techniques.

This time, Uchiha Sho was a little more restrained. Instead of smashing the door, he swaggered to the entrance of Cloud Thunder Gorge.

"Hey! Friends from Kumogakure! I heard you have an Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who's really good at rapping?"

I am Uchiha Enoki, and I have come here out of admiration to exchange artistic ideas!

He yelled, and his voice, amplified by chakra, echoed like thunder throughout the entire Cloud Thunder Gorge, causing the mountain walls to shed dust.

Soon, a burly man wearing sunglasses, sporting a mohawk, and with a muscular physique appeared, accompanied (or rather, reluctantly followed) by a group of Cloud Ninjas, walking with an extremely rhythmic gait.

"Yo! Yo! Check it out!"

The Hokage of Konoha, an unexpected visitor!

Killer Bee, a legend in the rap world!

What brings you here so suddenly?

Want to hear an old man's freestyle rap, one that will blow your mind?! Yeah!

Kirabi started off with an impromptu performance, his eyes behind his sunglasses sparkling with excitement (and a hint of wariness).

Uchiha Eiji's eyes lit up, as if he had found a kindred spirit:

"Nice Flow!"

However, I've heard you're the number one rapper in the ninja world?

What a coincidence! I am not very talented, but I am known as the "Konoha Rhythm Destroyer" and the "Rhyming Demon King"!

I've come here today specifically to challenge you!

The loser has to grant the winner a small request, okay?
