Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

If our ancestors heard that Lord Izuna could actually unite with Tobirama Senju, they'd probably jump out of their coffins!

Looking at the incredulous expressions on their faces, and recalling how Qingshui, despite his disappointment with the clan, still gently healed his wounds, Uchiha Yasho's fists clenched tighter...

What does reputation matter?

As a typical grateful and sentimental Uchiha, the Eighth Hokage had already given half of his life to Aokiji in his heart!

Even if it means revealing one's shameful secrets, it's nothing as long as it clears Qingshui's name!

"Let's see!"

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha suddenly ripped open his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body.

Uchiha Tetsuka and Inahisa were startled, staring blankly at the dense, hideous scars and scorch marks on their bodies.

"These are injuries I sustained a few months ago, all inflicted by Qing Shui..."

Uchiha Hachimoku took a deep breath and slowly recounted the true scene of his battle with Aokiji that day.

From his provocation, to Aokiji's water jutsu being almost identical to Tobirama Senju's, to his eye power comparable to three tomoe, and to his swordsmanship that reminded him of Izuna Uchiha…

Uchiha Inahisa and Tetsuka listened with rapt attention.

When Uchiha Hachimoku explained why Aoisui had mastered the Will of Fire and intended to silently shoulder the burden of the clan, Uchiha Tekka and Inahisa's expressions both turned grave.

When it came to Qing Shui's disappointment with his clan due to the provocation of the Eighth Hokage, even though the two knew the general outcome, an unavoidable sense of panic appeared in their eyes.

"But in the end, Qingshui forgave me and personally healed my knife wounds and these burn marks from when I self-destructed."

"Now, do you understand? Qing Shui is not comparable to a three-tomoe Sharingan or even a Mangekyou Sharingan. He is a gift from heaven bestowed upon our Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Tetsuka and Inahi nodded repeatedly.

At that moment, they finally understood the true value of the name "Qingshui"...

But then, the way these two looked at Uchiha Yatsuhoshi became strange...

So, you were the first one to provoke Qing Shui, weren't you?

Ignoring the amused expressions on their faces, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha forced a straight face and said, "In short, Fugaku Uchiha is an indecisive clan leader who can't even grasp the power of being the clan leader. How can he possibly lead the Uchiha clan?"

"That old bastard Uchiha Setsuna is even more outrageous. Besides shouting that he has Madara's will, he hasn't accomplished a single practical thing in all these years!"

"The future of the Uchiha clan is most secure if it is in Qingshui's hands!"

Uchiha Tetsuka and Inahisa both turned serious.

It's time to choose sides...

Without much hesitation, both Uchiha Tetsuka and Inahisa nodded seriously.

"You can secretly tell my experience to those clansmen who misunderstand Qingshui. Remember, find those clansmen you trust who have seen the truth, and quietly build him a team within the clan while keeping it as confidential as possible..."

Uchiha Yatsuho slammed his fist on the table: "Aoshui is fighting for Konoha's higher-ups, so it's time for us to do something for him!"

I recommend a masterpiece by a veteran author of Naruto: Young Naruto Novels. It's so good, you won't want to say a word once you start reading!

Naruto, Be My Son

After the end of the Battle of Marineford, Edward Newgate, who was once known as one of the Four Emperors of the New World and the strongest man in the world, thought that he would be buried in the headquarters of the Navy today.

Until he opened his eyes and found that he had come to a place called "Ninja World" and met a child named "Naruto".

"Gu la la la! Kid, do you have parents?"

Looking at the giant white beard, the five-year-old little Naruto trembled: "No... no, my name is Uzumaki Naruto, I... I am an orphan."

"Naruto, be my son!"

"Eh?????"

This book is also known as "Now, Let the Ninja World Welcome the New Whitebeard Pirates", "Ninja World Orphans, Be My Sons", and "Ninja Father"

Chapter 79 Snakes, slugs, and toads are fundamentally different.

Konoha.

Short book street.

In a tavern, the members of Sarutobi's squad gathered together after a long time.

Jiraiya picked up his sake cup and took a hearty sip: "Tsunade, Orochimaru, it's been a long time since the three of us got together!"

"I've already applied to the old man. After Mito-sama's matter is settled, I'll be traveling the ninja world in search of the Child of Prophecy. The chances of us meeting again will probably become fewer and fewer..."

Orochimaru sneered, his slender white fingers elegantly holding the wine glass. He took a sip and slowly said, "You really are an idiot, Jiraiya."

"You intend to prove the toad's prophecy with your own life? Do you really enjoy wasting your life?"

Jiraiya shrugged indifferently, giving Orochimaru a disdainful look: "What do you know? The Great Toad Sage is a legendary figure who has spoken with even the Sage of Six Paths..."

Orochimaru coldly said, "It's just a toad."

Even though Orochimaru respectfully addresses the lord of Ryuchi Cave as the White Snake Sage, in his eyes, a beast, even if it can speak human language, is still a beast…

In particular, the creation of such an ethereal savior as the Child of Prophecy further fueled Orochimaru's dislike for Mount Myōboku. How could a mere summoning beast presume to predict the fate of humanity?

In his view, only an idiot like Jiraiya would believe unconditionally.

As Jiraiya's friend, Orochimaru had already tried to persuade him in his own way.

However, it was clear that Jiraiya did not listen.

Jiraiya exchanged a few curses with Orochimaru, then turned and yelled at Tsunade:

"Hey, Tsunade, tell me the truth! What are you thinking? This is the Great Toad Sage's prophecy!"

Tsunade waved her hand: "I share Orochimaru's view. If prophecies are useful, then you don't need to go looking for the Child of Prophecy. After all, what it says will come true, right?"

"Although I am an unfortunate person, I refuse to believe that fate is unchangeable. If that were the case, what would be the meaning of life?"

Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade with surprise: "Such philosophical remarks don't sound like something you'd say..."

"You stinking snake, what do you know!" Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru: "Compared to Jiraiya, that complete idiot, you'd better watch out..."

“I heard that you’ve been getting involved with Danzo Shimura lately, and the old man won’t want to see that.”

"You're going to be the village's future Fourth Hokage, so you need to be mindful of your image. That old bastard Danzo Shimura isn't a good person; it's best to avoid him."

Before the Third Shinobi World War began, Minato Namikaze was not yet the renowned Yellow Flash. With Jiraiya wearing the headband from Mount Myōboku and Tsunade suffering from hemophobia, Orochimaru was the only one in Konoha with enough prestige, experience, and status to become the Fourth Hokage.

The Hokage position, a post that countless Konoha ninja clans dream of but never dare to aspire to, was discussed at this small bar table where Sarutobi's team was gathered, as casually as discussing what to have for lunch the next day…

"Hokage? What a boring position. I want to do what I want to do..." Orochimaru shook his head and said in a low voice.

But it sounds strangely like there's something off going on...

As Hiruzen Sarutobi's sharpest weapon, Orochimaru remembered Orochimaru's attitude towards Hatake Sakumo that day.

This shows that his teacher has begun to discipline him.

For Orochimaru, who had witnessed Hashirama's cells and begun his dark human experiments, his deep-seated desire for immortality had begun to burn fiercely, and Konoha could no longer contain him.

Rather than be a stamping machine controlled by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru would rather be a free-spirited ronin, pursuing his path to immortality…

"Let's not talk about me for now, Tsunade. You seem to be in better spirits lately. Are you no longer wallowing in sadness and pain?" Orochimaru said slowly, squinting at Tsunade.

The Tsunade at this moment was completely different from the drunken, reeking of alcohol she had been a few months ago.

He looked more energetic, and his eyes lit up.

Jiraiya nodded, following Orochimaru's lead, and said, "I heard the old man entrusted his son and a brat from the Uchiha clan to you. It seems you two are getting along quite well?"

Orochimaru's eyes flashed. If Hiruzen Sarutobi supported him becoming Hokage, then he should rightfully be the teacher of Aokiji and Asuma…

Choosing Tsunade as the teacher of this special class does not mean that Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted her to become Hokage.

After all, a village's Kage wouldn't have a weakness like hemophobia, but it was enough to reveal Hiruzen Sarutobi's inner thoughts: Orochimaru was no longer the next Hokage that Hiruzen Sarutobi firmly supported, and had been included in the list of candidates for consideration...

"Those kids are all pretty good..."

A hint of tenderness appeared in Tsunade's eyes. The time she had spent with Aoshui over the past few months had given her a long-lost feeling of fulfillment in her life.

"Looks like you've got a few good students, Tsunade..."

Jiraiya chuckled and boasted, "However, any young ninja would seem mediocre compared to my student, Minato Namikaze!"

"If you can't discipline the old man's son, those brats from the Uchiha clan, I can send Minato to show them what a true genius is!"

Orochimaru sighed silently, speechless at Jiraiya's foolishness.

It's obvious that Tsunade was roused by those students...

At a time like this, instead of offering a word of praise, you're bragging about Minato Namikaze's talent as if you're competing with him. What are you trying to say?

You think you're lucky? No wonder you could never win her over in your entire life!

As expected, Tsunade sneered: "Genius? Very well, after I've made those brats bleed, I'll have Minato Namikaze teach me a lesson..."

"gone!"

Tsunade suddenly stood up and left the tavern in a flurry.

Jiraiya stared blankly at Tsunade's departing figure, scratching his head in confusion: "Orochimaru, why do I feel like Tsunade's emotions are a bit off?"

Orochimaru slowly finished the remaining wine in his cup and then got up and walked towards the door.

"You don't need to think about these things anymore, Jiraiya. Go find your prophesied child; that is the entire meaning of your future life..."

The three who were sitting together just moments ago are now reduced to just Jiraiya.

As we grow up, everyone has their own way of ninjutsu and pursuits, and even the best friends of the past gradually drift apart.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru—these three members of Team Sarutobi are like a toad, a slug, and a snake—they are not the same species, so they ultimately chose different paths.

The next day.

The border of the Fire Nation.

"You brats, there are hundreds of bandits in this valley..."
