Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

Kurotsuchi led Ningxia and Yecang throughout Iwagakure, but compared to the prosperous Konoha, Iwagakure was ultimately far inferior.

However, with the little girl Kurotsuchi by his side, he wasn't too lonely.

The black soil in Ningxia was always sticky, which made Ye Cang both angry and helpless.

It would be incredibly shameful to lay a hand on a cute little girl.

Moreover, after Ningxia's last warning, Heilongjiang has changed its strategy and stopped provoking them.

It wasn't until evening, when the black soil was carried back by the yellow soil, that Ye Cang finally had some time alone with Ningxia.

"Ningxia..."

Gently hugging Ningxia, Ye Cang's heart finally calmed down, while Ningxia sensed Ye Cang's little emotions and turned around to pat her head.

"What's wrong? You're even jealous of a child?"

"I don't……"

Ye Cang nestled into Ningxia's shoulder, inhaling the reassuring scent, and unconsciously relaxed with her eyes half-closed.

Only the scent of Ningxia can be so captivating, but the problem is... Ningxia attracts too many strange people.

It's either an old hag like Tsunade, or a little brat like Kurotsuchi.

Honestly... I can't trust you at all.

With me and Kakashi, aren't Yugao and the others enough...?

Ye Cang grew angrier the more he thought about it, and suddenly raised his hand to lightly punch her, his eyes filled with an uncontrollable fighting spirit.

"war!"

On the other side, Kurotsuchi was carried home by Huangtu. Facing her father's scolding, Kurotsuchi retorted confidently, complaining that Iwagakure had no older brother as good as Ningxia.

She absolutely has to marry Ningxia! Otherwise, she'll cause a scene! She's already started causing a scene!

The noise annoyed Deidara, who was busy working with clay. He complained that Kurotsuchi was just a love-struck fool and that what was Ningxia-ge? Art was more important.

Upon seeing Deidara complaining about his Ningxia brother, Kurotsuchi immediately became unhappy and mocked Deidara's clay, saying it wasn't much better.

"Hey! This is high art! It's something your love-struck brain can't compare to!"

Deidara immediately lost his temper, and the two started arguing. Onoki, who was resting, was very annoyed by the situation. In order to stop Kurotsuchi from causing any more trouble, he made a decision on his own.

If Kurotsuchi could learn Dust Release, not only would he not be able to secure the position of Tsuchikage, but he would also kidnap Ningxia and force her to marry him.

"Old man, are you kidding me?!"

The most confused one must be Deidara. No, Kurotsuchi is making a fuss, why are you, the old man, making a fuss too? And you even learned Dust Release.

Will she be able to understand what Heitu is learning?

However, Onoki ignored Deidara. Anyway, his granddaughter had become love-struck, and if she were to be provoked into learning Dust Release, it wouldn't do Iwagakure any harm.

But compared to the speechless Deidara, Kurotsuchi, who originally wanted to argue with Deidara after hearing Onoki's promise, was much more composed.

She immediately changed her tune, massaging Onoki while simultaneously seeking his advice, her face clearly saying, "I desperately want to improve."

"well……"

Onoki sighed inwardly. He didn't know if Kurotsuchi could learn Dust Release, but even if she could, was it really okay to entrust Iwagakure to someone so love-obsessed?

The next day, Heitu came to see Ningxia early in the morning; she genuinely wanted to improve.

But before making progress, wouldn't it be better to spend more time with Ningxia?

Otherwise, she doesn't know how long she would have to wait after Ningxia left.

Good morning, Ningxia!

Kurotsuchi skipped into the room and sniffed the air, but by then Yekura had already disinfected the room with her Scorch Release.

So Heitu didn't smell anything strange and was relieved. Sure enough, this old lady wouldn't dare to do anything reckless!

Thinking this way, Kurotsuchi found Ye Cang even more agreeable. As long as he wasn't competing with her for Ningxia, she could get along with him peacefully.

Yecang noticed the other's little actions and couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking that he was just a little brat after all.

No matter how sharp-tongued someone is, they can't compare to her; after all, she's already...

After confirming everything was correct, Heitu took Ningxia back to his home. First, he checked Onoki's back, and then they could do many other things in the remaining time.

On the way back, Heitu kept complaining about Deidara. Compared to him, she definitely preferred Ningxia!

"I definitely like Ningxia more!"

Ye Cang leaned close to Ningxia's ear and said sarcastically, "You lost again yesterday, and it was a complete defeat. How could Ye Cang not feel bad about that?"

Ningxia was speechless for a moment, feeling both helpless and amused by Ye Cang's little temper, and then gently tightened her grip on her hand.

"..."

Ye Cang, who was originally of a yin-yang nature, immediately blushed and lowered his head, tacitly acknowledging Ningxia's closeness.

Kurotsuchi, oblivious to the two's subtle actions, continued to complain about Deidara.

Then, he vaguely inquired whether Ningxia had a girlfriend, and Ye Cang immediately smiled and answered for Ningxia, "No~"

Seeing Ye Cang's mischievous grin, Ning Xia's lips twitched, but she didn't embarrass her.

"Is that so! That's wonderful... I... I mean... Brother Ningxia, wait for me for a few years, until I learn Dust Escape... then you can come and marry me... How about that?"

Hei Tu asked hesitantly, but Ning Xia politely declined, saying that the age difference was too great and he wasn't a lolicon.

Although Kurotsuchi is indeed very cute, no punishment is no punishment.

"Well……"

Hei Tu pursed his lips, but he wasn't in a hurry. Everything would be alright once he learned Dust Escape!

Upon arriving at Onoki's house, Ningxia was immediately locked onto by two sharp gazes: on one side was her elderly father, Huangtu, and on the other was Onoki.

Looking at Heitu beside Ningxia, Onoki sighed helplessly, then told Huangtu to take Heitu away so as not to interfere with Ningxia's treatment.

"Hey! Old man, let me see! I can learn from Brother Ningxia and give you a massage later."

Kurotsuchi protested, but no one paid any attention to her protests; they simply picked her up and took her away.

As Heitu left, Ningxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Being stuck to Heitu like that had actually made him a little sweaty.

He wasn't afraid of being killed by doing this in front of Onoki and Yotsuchi, but the pressure from their gazes was immense.

"Ningxia, please give this old man a massage."

Onoki didn't make things difficult for Ningxia; he just occasionally asked for his opinion on the black soil during the massage.

Ningxia is completely lost. It's one thing for Heitu to be ignorant, but why is Onoki doing this too? He's really not a lolicon!

"Cough cough cough... This old man... It's not because Kurotsuchi likes you so much, besides, how is Iwagakure inferior to Konoha!"

Even the proud and strong-willed Onoki blushed slightly at this moment. He had said such things in a moment of excitement yesterday, even though he was not confident that Kurotsuchi could learn.

But Ningxia's choice to go to Konoha still bothered him. What if? His granddaughter helped him bring Ningxia back from Konoha, which could be considered revenge.

Anyway, Heitu likes Ningxia, and he can't stop her, so he can only let her be.
