In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 61 Before Konoha Village, I bestow upon you the name White Fang! (4K, the climax is at the end, check out the reading experience)
"Naoki, the Fugu Demon Lord has already boarded the boat back to the village."

So that means you'll become the Mizukage in two days?

"Maybe."

Mei Terumi glanced at the idle Kirigakure ninjas outside the window, then turned back to look at Naoki Kaguya's somewhat worn and bloodstained Jonin uniform.

"It's really not something I'm used to."

"If you wore the blue and white robes of the Mizukage, would I have to call you Lord Naoki?"

"You don't have to call me; I don't care about those things."

Naoki Kaguya picked up the teapot, poured two cups of hot tea, pushed one of them towards someone, and replied indifferently.

Mei Terumi shook her head.

"That's not the point, Naoki."

The important thing is that when the dream is about to come true, it still feels somewhat surreal and unbelievable.

Naoki Kaguya took a few sips of tea to moisten his throat and responded with a smile.

"This is just the beginning, Mei Terumi. Don't forget that when we were kids, we dreamed of making Kirigakure unify the world."

"That was just a dream."

"But aren't dreams meant to be realized?"

Turning around, Mei Terumi looked at the serious and earnest expression on Naoki Kaguya's face, took a deep breath, and became equally solemn.

"Then let's make this dream a reality together."

Naoki Kaguya nodded, about to say something more, when he suddenly paused as all the memories from his bone clone swirled in his mind.

Has Konoha come to fear me like a tiger?
This is truly an incredible sight.

They even want me to go to Konoha and act arrogantly to create even greater public pressure?
Without Minato Namikaze, without Jiraiya, without Tsunade, without the Third Hokage, Konoha is truly the perfect stage for me to unleash my power.

Naoki Kaguya gently spun the slightly hot teacup, a hint of interest in his hand.

The purpose of creating public opinion is nothing more than to increase the possibility that Hiruzen Sarutobi will step down due to defeat.

In order to allow Danzo, who was destined to exacerbate various conflicts, to ascend to the position of Hokage, so that our Hidden Mist Village and Rainbow Ninja Organization could intervene and plunder bloodline limits and ninja clans.

Regardless of past lives or this life.

Even Kaguya Naoki had never seen Shimura Danzo gain an advantage over Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he really felt that this whole spectacle would be a waste of effort.

However, if Kirigakure is to develop peacefully, disrupting and monitoring Konoha is an option that cannot be avoided.

He took a sip of tea and pondered.

At that moment, a figure appeared in Kaguya Naoki's mind.

Kakashi Hatake.

A disciple of Minato Namikaze, the most talented genius in the Hokage lineage, and the undisputed successor to the future Hokage position.

If he could be given greater fame and more terrifying achievements, would it be possible for him to become Hokage ahead of schedule someday?

He put down his teacup, tapped it lightly on the table, and looked up at Terumi Mei, who had been silently holding her breath and waiting for Kaguya Naoki to think.

"Ming, where are the other five of the Seven Musketeers?"

Mei Terumi said disdainfully without hesitation, "They've been hunting down Konoha ninjas outside for the sake of war merits."

"let it go."

Naoki Kaguya stood up and looked out the window, towards the direction of Konoha.

In front of the people of Konoha who fear me like a tiger, personally bestowing upon Kakashi Hatake the title of "Konoha's White Fang" should have an effect similar to that of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

. . . . . . . . .

"Dr. Lin, these are for you."

"and this."

"No, no, no."

Rin Nohara, her face flushed beneath the mask, sternly refused the group of Hidden Mist ninjas surrounding her.

Through the gaps in their masks, it was clear that these Hidden Mist ninjas were holding all sorts of gifts in their hands.

There are wildflowers in the mountains, swords from the Leaf Village ninjas, and some strange little objects.

"Dr. Lin, you must accept it. This is what Lord Naoki requested."

"Yeah."

The others immediately nodded.

Naoki.

When Nohara Rin heard the name, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded and accepted the gifts. There were so many that she couldn't hold them all.

Finally, he had no choice but to turn around and say to a man behind him who was also wearing a mask but also a wig.

"Ka Xiaoxi, please help me!"

"Xiao Xi" wore a mask, so her expression was not visible. She didn't say a word as she gathered the things into her arms. In the end, she had to find a box to fill the box.

After finally receiving the gifts, Nohara Rin and Kakashi quickly left the no longer shabby hospital. Rin smiled and said something that didn't sound like a complaint.

"They're so enthusiastic!"

"Yeah, indeed."

The atmosphere instantly turned cold, but the two of them were already used to it.

"This is how it is most of the time when Obito isn't around," Rin Nohara said, and Kakashi listened.

When they reached a secluded spot where they could see the sunset, Nohara Rin removed her mask and wiped the sweat from her face.

He smiled and started talking to Kakashi about his life.

"Kakashi, you don't know, but these people are all cold and indifferent, just like you."

"Later, they all laughed."

Nohara Rin smiled, her face full of a sense of accomplishment.

"Although I don't feel it was because of me, I definitely deserve some credit."

"Ah."

Kakashi removed his wig, letting his white hair float in the air, but he still kept his mask on to hide his smile.

Hearing this indifferent response, Rin assumed Kakashi wasn't interested and immediately tried to change the subject.

But, it seems there's really nothing to say.

Let's just sit here quietly.

After a long while, Nohara Rin turned her head and looked at Kakashi with a somewhat resentful gaze, saying sadly.

"Kakashi."

"Let me see you one more time, okay? The war is about to end."

Kakashi's body suddenly swayed.

He thought of that night in the past, when he and Lin were looking forward to the night the war would end.

Things have really changed now.

"You're going back to the village, aren't you?"

When Kakashi didn't answer, Nohara Rin turned her head away.

"Ah."

"It would be dangerous for me to go back, right?"

Kakashi's body stiffened slightly, but he still nodded.

"You'll have one too, won't you?"

"will not."

"You're lying to me again."

Nohara Rin said something harsh, but then her tone softened.

"Kakashi, you didn't give me a birthday present last time, remember?"

Kakashi was somewhat bewildered by this leap in thought.

"right."

"Then next time, bring your and Obito's eyes to see me in Kirigakure. You must."

Nohara Rin emphasized it.

"Most definitely."

Kakashi said firmly.

Looking into those eyes, Nohara Rin looked away and picked up a wildflower from the box, a wildflower with specks of blood on it.

"Then I'll live a good life in Kirigakure."

As the sun set, Kakashi walked back to the Kirigakure prison alone, waiting to be sold back to Konoha by Kirigakure.

"Kakashi."

Kakashi stopped, turned around, and looked at the source of the sound. It was Kaguya Naoki.

"Kakashi, let me help you this once. I'll help you rise to a high position in a short time and find out the truth behind the Leaf Village's Wood Release experiments."

Is that the truth?

Kakashi hesitated, a thought swirling in his mind.

What's Lin's birthday again? It seems like it's coming soon.

"Naoki, tell me about the plan."

"That's the plan."

After listening to Kaguya Naoki's explanation, Kakashi slowly nodded.

Naoki Kaguya is already the brightest star in this war.

It's not a big deal to accept his reward.

Although it is somewhat insulting to my father's name.

But if even a father with such a prestigious title died so pitifully, why bother caring about that thing?

"I agreed."

Naoki Kaguya curled the corners of his lips, unsurprised.

"Let's do it tonight then."

"Tonight, you will rescue some of the Konoha ninja and help them escape from my clutches, Kaguya Naoki."

. . . . . . . . .

In the deep, dark prison, the Konoha ninjas, their eyes lifeless, leaned against each other, silently awaiting the pronouncement of their fate.

Click.

The outer gate of the prison opened, but they still did not react until the door to their own prison was gently knocked.

They looked up and saw a familiar white hair and red eyes, and suddenly their spirits lifted!
"Kakashi."

Kakashi gently made a shushing gesture, causing the hearts of these Konoha ninjas to immediately start pounding.

They aren't genius ninjas like Kakashi, so it's unlikely they'll be able to exchange themselves back to the village.

Now, with the hope of life and the hope of freedom right before their eyes, how could they not be excited!
"Come, follow me."

Kakashi cautiously sneaked out of the Hidden Mist Ninja base.

After the former swiftly and decisively killed several "Hidden Mist Ninja" without anyone noticing, the eyes of the Konoha ninjas immediately changed.

"Everyone, let's speed it up!"

Looking at the jungle before them, the Konoha ninjas nodded firmly.

In their view, nothing could stop them from returning home!
Leaping, leaping, and after a long time, they finally saw the outer walls of Konoha.

It's alive! It's alive!
At that moment, a voice resounded from the sky.

"You guys really don't take me, Kaguya Naoki, seriously at all."

Oh no, it's him!
In an instant, his body trembled, cold sweat poured out, and the few Konoha ninjas in front of Kakashi visibly panicked.

Kakashi was puzzled. Was it just because of a name?

When did Konoha's ninjas become so incompetent?

Stopping and turning around, she quietly awaited Naoki Kaguya's attack.

"Did you hear that?"

Inside the walls of Konoha, the ninjas and civilians looked at each other and asked each other questions, without responding immediately.

They refused to believe it was true—the fact that the Hidden Mist Village had attacked!
The weakened Konoha could no longer withstand all of this.

Until one person pointed tremblingly to the sky, to the ice mirror that pierced through the entire sky.

"Look, what's that?"

Everyone looked up, peering through the blinding sunlight at the extended ice mirror that reflected the sunlight and shimmered with a rainbow of colors.

"It's Kaguya Naoki, it's him."

A Konoha ninja who had escaped from the battlefield immediately roared this out, while muttering in despair.

"Lord Minato and Lord Orochimaru are no longer able to fight. The Third Hokage and Lord Jiraiya are overseeing the battlefield, while Lady Tsunade is traveling the world."

Is there anyone in the village strong enough to rival me?

As the voice faded, their heads remained raised, but for the first time, they felt a sense of powerlessness.

Without their strongest warriors, Konoha was utterly powerless against Kaguya Naoki.

When did Konoha become so vulnerable to humiliation?

Ice Release: Ice Thousand Bones!
In an instant, a dark cloud gathered in the sky, obscuring the sun.

Then it dispersed, turning into a torrential downpour, and before it even fell, it had already transformed into ice needles under the influence of chakra.

The sun shone brightly, the water rippled, and in the shimmering light, Naoki Kaguya appeared like a god whose gaze could not be met directly.

This is really true.

Naoki Kaguya, are you sure my earthen wall can stop it?

Kakashi Hatake had a bead of cold sweat on his forehead as he frantically drew out his chakra, forming hand seals.

He finally understood why these Konoha ninjas were so panicked.

Even the teacher, the Third Hokage, couldn't achieve such power!
Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
Almost the instant the earthen wall swept away, the ice needles fell!
The ice needles, reflecting the sunlight, fell, as if a vast expanse of sunlight had collapsed from the sky.

In the eyes of the people of Konoha, the sky had truly collapsed.

Holding my breath, I gripped whatever I could hold onto, watching the terrifying attack.

"Not heading towards Konoha!"

Someone shouted excitedly.

"That wasn't an attack on Konoha."

The voice continued to shout, but was immediately drowned out by other sounds.

Crackling sounds!
That was the sound of trees breaking, shattering, and turning into powder.

Fifty years ago, the First Hokage of Konoha clasped his hands together and planted this vast forest.

Fifty years later, Kaguya Naoki, a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, clasped his hands together and destroyed everything here.

He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Naoki Kaguya opened a bottle of medicine and poured it into his mouth.

Looking at the mess below, even he himself found it hard to believe.

Could a single, all-out attack cause such widespread destruction?
However, this kind of diffuse attack can only be used for performance purposes at best.

Take a breath.

He pulled a bone from his body and swung it heavily from the sky, like the Milky Way falling down.

Boom!

First, the outer wall of Konoha was pierced by the attack, and then it clashed with Kakashi's blade.

Amidst the flying sparks, the bone was actually blocked!
Naoki Kaguya's face showed surprise.

"As expected of Kakashi Hatake, the son of Konoha's White Fang."

"Such terrifying talent at such a young age!"

"Step back. This battle is not for killing you."

Kakashi drew his sword, ignoring his trembling arm, and stood before the gates of Konoha. He hesitated slightly, but still followed Kaguya Naoki's instructions and shouted sternly.

"Bearing the name of White Fang, I cannot back down!"

"it is good!"

Naoki Kaguya exclaimed in admiration.

"As expected of Konoha's White Fang."

"This trip was originally intended to negotiate peace with Konoha."

"If we were to kill a future pillar of Konoha like you, the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and the others might actually turn their attention to Kirigakure and fight to the death."

"Then so be it. Let's wait for the Third Hokage and our Kirigakure peace treaty."

Having said that, Kaguya Naoki ignored Hatake Kakashi and began to circle wildly around Konoha.

At Konoha Hospital, Minato Namikaze felt the trembling glass, looked out at the familiar ice mirror in the sky, listened to the chaotic and terrified crowd, rubbed his wounds which still showed no hope of recovery, and sighed.

Kushina's fiery red hair stood on end as she was about to retaliate, but remembering that she was a nine-tailed fox spirit, she gave a self-deprecating laugh and returned to the hospital.

At this very moment, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado are cursing the arrogant brat together.

Shimura Danzo conserved his energy at the roots, preparing for the future, and remained silent.

Inside the Uchiha Fugaku clan compound, he tapped his own eyes while constantly stroking Itachi's head.

"Don't be afraid, Itachi. When you have those eyes, you'll be able to do the same."

Hiashi Hyuga raised his head, looked at the "relative" in the air who had taken his brother, and silently gave the order to delay the pursuit of Byakugan.

Despite the presence of so many powerful ninjas, there was an unusual silence.

Konoha really can't do without Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If we could kill him, or turn him into someone like Minato Namikaze.

Unfortunately, there are no such bones anymore.

Naoki Kaguya sighed, stopped circling, and flew back into the camp.

I'd like to ask about everyone's reading experience. Maybe in the future it will be 4K*2, or maybe 3K*2. Is 4K a bit too much? It's too uncomfortable to read.

I'd love for you to read this further tomorrow; I'll do my best to get to the part where I climb to the top of the water.
