Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Hozuki Gengetsu's little mustache twitched, and his tiny, beady eyes were full of confusion...

Kirigakure joined the Will of Fire, and Hiruzen Sarutobi became the First Mizukage—that's great!

During the years that Hozuki Gengetsu was in the Scarlet Organization, he and Uzumaki Ashina were in the most relaxed state, because Kirigakure and the Uzumaki clan had already gone ashore, and the two old men could just enjoy the benefits to the fullest...

"Time will prove the Will of Fire and the Hokage! You must have faith, and never make a fuss!"

This is a viewpoint that Hozuki Gengetsu and Uzumaki Ashina have repeatedly promoted on the ninja world forums, all in an effort to subtly contribute to the unification of Konoha...

However, dividends are one thing, and enjoying them is another…

When Nakamaro, from the Hidden Mist Village at the very bottom of the ninja world's cultural hierarchy and the least cultured member of the Kaguya clan, manages to write a masterpiece that causes a sensation throughout the entire ninja world...

Hozuki Gengetsu, like Hyuga Tenzo, couldn't sit still any longer.

Young man, you can do better...

But you can't be this nice!

Even if you were a member of the Konoha committee, that would be one thing, but how could you become a literary giant?

There's a growing opinion on ninja forums that the Kaguya clan is actually wise beyond their years, possessing the qualities of cultured people, but they were corrupted by other native Water Country ninja clans…

It could be said that almost every Sengoku figure, including Madara Uchiha, secretly considered themselves cultured individuals, using this label to distance themselves from that brutal and chaotic era…

The saying goes, "The more you lack something, the more you crave it."

Nakamaro maintained a straight expression, appreciating and enjoying the subtle changes in Hozuki Gengetsu's demeanor as he broke down, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The inherently evil old man from Kirigakure in the Warring States period, perhaps lamenting his fate of not encountering the Hokage...

"Of course I wrote it."

"I was born in the Land of Water, and I have a deep understanding of the chaos and instability there. Only after joining Konoha and the Will of Fire did I realize how important and precious a stable and progressive environment is..."

Nakamaro straightened his chest and said solemnly:

"I've been following the Hokage for almost a year! 'The Orphans of Kirigakure' is merely a brief description and comparison of a small part of the Will of Fire..."

"Actually, the book 'Orphans of the Hidden Mist' is inseparable from the Hokage! I have repeatedly requested that the Hokage's name be added to the author list, but the humble Hokage said that he could not share in this literary inspiration..."

"I can only express my sincere gratitude to the Hokage in the preface and donate two-thirds of my royalties to the Konoha Research Department as a small token of my appreciation..."

Nakamaro spread his hands and raised an eyebrow.

Hozuki Gengetsu was dumbfounded.

This awareness, this stance...

Even if Nakamaro hadn't written "The Orphan of Kirigakure," Hozuki Gengetsu would have thought that this person wasn't from the Land of Water at all. What happened to the Kaguya clan's supposedly bloodthirsty and murderous nature?

There was a strong Hinata flavor to his words!

Of course, it's Hyuga who underwent the transformation by the Will of Fire...

"You little brat..."

Hozuki Gengetsu calmed himself down and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The expelled scum of Kirigakure, Kirigori, was tricked into becoming a spinning top by Nakamaro back then, and there's a reason for that...

Perhaps it's not because he's an amateur, but because Nakamaro, with the Kaguya label, is too overpowered...

"Kid, the future of Konoha and the Land of Water rests on your shoulders."

Hozuki Gengetsu stared at Nakamaro and said in a deep voice, "Do a good job!"

"That's typical Sengoku period ninja thinking..."

Nakamaro narrowed his eyes: "Now that the Land of Water is already within Konoha's territory, the Hokage will find a way to ensure that every citizen can enjoy the light of fire..."

"Just because I was born in Kirigakure doesn't mean I have to work in the Land of Water."

"I'll go wherever the Hokage needs me to work. Don't be picky! I've always believed that regional cliques are wrong and should be broken up!"

Hozuki Gengetsu blinked, exhaled a long breath, and blushed.

broken…

It seems I've really revealed myself to be an old man from the Warring States period...

Their thinking hasn't kept up with the new generation!

"Alright, alright, you decide what to do!"

"Anyway, this is the limit of what I've told you. I'm being controlled by those guys now... My spell is called the Magical Pavilion, and you should know about its explosive power."

Hozuki Gengetsu attempts to explain his own combat system.

However, Nakamaro waved his hand dismissively and said with a chuckle, "No need to explain! Your reputation as a battle maniac was already well-known during the Warring States period..."

"Even though it's an Edo Tensei, I think you still want to have a real battle, right?"

"I will fight you with all my might..."

Hozuki Gengetsu's pupils contracted, but his heart burned with excitement.

Why wouldn't he want to have a match with an outstanding younger generation?

Since Nakamaro said so, Hozuki Gengetsu's fighting spirit, which was indiscriminate in its intensity, reignited. He bit his wrist and slammed it heavily onto the ground. Summoning Jutsu: Clam!

A gigantic clam emerged from the thick white smoke, and a deluge of water vapor billowed out, instantly forming layers of varying densities. The effect of light refraction obscured the true location of Hozuki Gengetsu…

Magical Steam-Powered Pavilion Technique!

The last time this technique was completely countered was when Hiruzen Sarutobi used an extraordinary Ice Release technique to forcibly freeze the heavens and earth…

Nakamaro narrowed his eyes.

And at this moment.

The Second Tsuchikage emerged from the sky and appeared beside Hozuki Gengetsu.

"Bandaged man, get out!"

"This is a conversation between me and the outstanding younger generation of our village. You stray dog ​​who hasn't joined the Will of Fire, don't interfere with our battle!" Hozuki Gengetsu pointed at Mu and shouted loudly.

"You bastard..."

Mumo gritted his teeth: "After this war, Iwagakure will join Konoha! Let me tell you, we Iwagakure ninjas have always been able to admit our mistakes and correct them, relying on our unwavering willpower..."

"We'll accumulate points in Konoha much faster than we would in Kirigakure!"

Both Onoki and the Third Raikage were seriously injured in Momoshiki's attack.

While recuperating, they encountered Konoha's thread-filling masters, who resembled a "mini superhero army," and also witnessed external conflicts involving the evil sage and the Otsutsuki clan...

He sent countless pleading telegrams to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Please ask the Hokage and Konoha to take over Iwagakure and Kumogakure, so that the ninja world, which has been in chaos for a thousand years, can be unified...

Of course, all of this is predicated on Konoha and the Hokage being able to cover their losses and win the battle...

"Heh heh, just a third-rate area, yet it dares to bark like that?"

Hozuki Gengetsu scoffed, "Go line up behind the Roran region and Sunagakure!"

"Thank you for your kind words."

Wu gave a cold laugh, returning the same disdainful smile:

"You know nothing! Sunagakure and Roran are hubs of high technology, far superior to Kirigakure, which is just a warehouse..." "What do you know? We call this industry!" Hozuki Gengetsu blew his mustache.

Before Hozuki Gengetsu and Mu could even fight Nakamaro, the two of them started arguing.

If it weren't for the constraints of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, they probably would have already started fighting...

At that moment, Itachi, Kabuto, and Yamato, the three little brats, also rushed over from the side.

Nakamaro was taken aback.

On the battlefield where the Shadows are fighting, how come a few brats from the Ninja Academy suddenly appeared?

And they were all people of high status...

The son of the police chief, the grandson of Lord Mito, and the apprentice who serves Orochimaru…

"What are you kids doing? Where's Mr. Sakumo? Wasn't he the one leading you?!"

Nakamaro frowned. If something happened to these kids, the adults wouldn't necessarily hold it against him, but it would still be a very troublesome matter...

"Committee member Sakumo and Mr. Hanzo are fighting against Kinkaku and Ginkaku, as well as the Second Raikage and the Second Kazekage..."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "Mr. Nakamaro, we are also part of the Konoha ninja. Since we've entered the battlefield, we must be prepared!"

"We're here to support you!"

Itachi nodded: "Yes, Mr. Nakamaro, please rest assured!"

Yamato remained silent, seemingly doing nothing, his eyes vacant as he basked in the sun like a vegetable, a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile on his face. It was unclear whether he was there to fight or to farm...

Nakamaro clicked his tongue.

Are all kids these days so arrogant?

Although they were students in the elite class, their opponents were the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage, who had dominated the ninja world...

Although these two are mortal enemies, they are very compatible, and when combined, the result is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

When Mu appeared, Nakamaro felt considerable pressure.

Dust Release combined with massive amounts of invisibility is still too much...

"Kid, I'll be there..."

Suddenly, the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, who was about to announce his location, stopped talking.

It appears that they were forcibly controlled and entered a combat state...

Together with Hozuki Gengetsu, they entered the "Dustless Envelopment" technique's domain, superimposed with the Magical Steam Pavilion Technique, instantly vanishing from the spot. "Be careful! Carefully sense the opponent's chakra; there will be fluctuations when they release Dust Release!"

The veins on Nakamaro's forehead bulged, and his entire body was covered with a layer of pale white bone armor. The black patterns of the curse mark covered his entire body, and he instantly entered his full power state!

Compared to Nagato, Nakamaro's Byakugan didn't undergo any mutation, but Kaguya and Hyuga had excellent compatibility, granting him vision beyond that of ordinary Byakugan users...

At the same time, the Corpse Bone Vein also showed signs of "atavism," with its defensive power greatly enhanced and the bone blade also possessing a destructive power that resembled a rule, with a very faint gray tinge at the tip...

"trouble…"

"The physical invisibility of the Steam Pavilion Technique, combined with the double invisibility of the Dustless Concealment Technique, even my Byakugan can only vaguely catch a glimpse of its afterimage..." Nakamaro's expression darkened.

He was considering whether to unleash the full power of "Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Early Fern," transforming the earth into a bone hellscape and using a wide-range attack ninjutsu to locate the opponent...

Whether it's piercing the clam or making it temporarily visible, there's always a way to break through in the battle.

But the problem is, what if it misses...

If the Second Tsuchikage catches up to the aftercast delay of this move, then Dust Release is no joke...

Just as Nakamaro hesitated.

Dou clapped his hands, and a coffin immediately emerged from the earth.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

The Third Kazekage emerged from the coffin, but didn't utter a single unnecessary word, clearly indicating he was completely under his control…

Kabuto manipulated the Third Kazekage with effortless skill, and in an instant, fine iron sand particles covered the entire battlefield…

On the other side.

Yamato, who had been staring blankly, suddenly had a glint in his eye.

On the earth, the root system suddenly began to erupt, countless roots breaking through the surface, growing rapidly at an astonishing speed, flowering and bearing fruit at a visible pace, and releasing large amounts of pollen...

"Wood Release: Descent of the Flower Tree World!"

At that moment, Nakamaro realized that Yamato had been pretending to be stupid all along...

He wasn't just spacing out; he was clearly taking advantage of the moment when Hozuki Gengetsu and Mudou were arguing to secretly lay down a Wood Release root system underground, preparing for an explosion!

Yamato's eyes flickered, and his roots silently wrapped around Nakamaro, Itachi, and Kabuto, secreting a sap that could grant immunity to flower poison, signaling to his companions to absorb it...

Itachi narrowed his eyes, his Sharingan silently swirling within them.

At this moment, Nakamaro was truly astonished.

Having no in-depth understanding of the current strength of the ninja academy's elite troops, he never expected these kids to have such a large force!

Their teamwork was also extremely seamless...

"Is this Obito Uchiha's student?"

"No wonder he was chosen by the Hokage, damn it..." Nakamaro sighed inwardly. He also wanted to become the Hokage's shadow guard! But he was still lacking...

Does this prove that a great teacher produces outstanding students?

However, what Nakamaro didn't know was that Obito's approach to combat was purely one of suppression and discipline. Although he learned to loudly encourage the children after suppressing them, it often sounded more like mockery...

It focuses on a Warring States period theme.

Only true geniuses can withstand this kind of pressure...

After Yamato and Kabuto made their move, the hidden location of Mu and Gengetsu, which was covered by iron sand and pollen, was finally revealed. The two Sengoku elders stared in shock at the young ninja students...

Is Konoha's future a little too promising?

Things are changing too fast...

They haven't even put on their official ninja headbands yet, but they're already using the techniques of the First Hokage and that other person...

"Watch out!"

The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, unleashed all his chakra as if it were muscle memory, using "Dust Release: Limit Separation Technique"... Several beams of light, capable of disintegrating everything, swept towards Nakamaro and the others!

Several miniature versions of the Steam Explosion clones also appeared behind Nakamaro and the others…

With a deafening roar, dust and steam exploded in a terrifying burst!

"Oh no, he still didn't dodge? How could this happen!"

The Second Tsuchikage's eyes widened as he witnessed his Dust Release disintegrate Itachi and Nakamaro.

Hozuki Gengetsu's hands trembled slightly; being controlled, he seemed to have used a secret technique to destroy Konoha's future...

It seems he killed Kabuto and Yamato!

As they trembled, Nakamaro's voice rang out behind them: "Such terrifying mastery of illusion magic, Itachi..." "Completely unlike Mr. Fugaku, he's forged his own path?"

The bone blade pierced through Hozuki Gengetsu and Mu, its destructive properties rendering them unable to move.

Meanwhile, Yamato's Wood Release: Roots quickly wrapped around their bodies, and dense iron sand covered their entire forms. The Sharingan's tomoe pattern appeared in the eyes of the two Sengoku elders...

Hozuki Gengetsu and Mu...

Facing the new generation of Konoha, they were declared defeated!
