Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 687 The Tale Ends in the Light [Part 2]

Yua, Hashirama Senju, and all those hovering on the edge of life and death silently watched Jiraiya's body being torn to pieces.

"Damn! That was so cool! I should have done that too!" Hashirama Senju looked regretful.

Mito Uzumaki, who was standing nearby, immediately turned pale and reached out to pinch Hashirama Senju's ear.

Jiraiya became smug.

His body was burned to ashes, which freed him from the constraints of a physical body at the boundary between life and death. His body could be directly reduced to ashes or transformed into a complete soul state, which was extremely convenient.

Of course, it's not really useful to say it has any effect.

Because everyone here is dead.

Once the person is dead, no matter what kind of attack or form it takes, it's all useless.

However, the visual impact of this form, which can turn into ashes, is indeed quite significant.

Hashirama Senju thought it looked incredibly cool.

Of course, we can simply ignore Hashirama Senju.

This person's aesthetic sense has always been quite outrageous.

Oh, aside from women, Mito Uzumaki was indeed a great beauty when she was young.

The matter concerning Jiraiya sparked a heated discussion among many people here.

After all, they didn't know the specifics of whether it was better to be cremated or buried after death.

The main reason is that this godforsaken place is just too boring and there's too much time on the table, so these guys have nothing better to do than discuss these pointless things.

Actually, they themselves don't really care about these things.

It's just finding an excuse to argue with someone so as not to feel so lonely.

This way of playing is simply outdated.

Only young children would use this method to attract their parents' attention.

Yeah, and then Boruto used it like that in the live stream.

By taking a stance that defied his parents, he attracted the attention of his parents and everyone on the edge of life and death.

"Hey, are any Uchiha clan members here? Damn it, how come that old bastard Fugaku Uchiha isn't dead yet?! His granddaughter's almost twenty and he's still alive?!"

Uchiha Kagami appeared in front of Yua with a displeased expression.

"Whatever the jokes, isn't it a good thing that he's still alive?" Uchiha Kagami said, hands on his hips as he looked at Yuya.

Yuya chuckled and pointed at the screen: "This isn't my fault. This kid is willing to damage his reputation for the sake of your Uchiha clan girls. What do you Uchiha people think?"

That's right, Boruto's childish actions were actually for Sarada's sake.

The main problem is that Boruto and Sarada are too familiar with each other, so much so that they can't even have any romantic feelings for each other.

But Naruto and Sasuke didn't care about any of that. For them, if they really had to choose a marriage partner...

Without a doubt, the other family's child is the best choice.

This made Boruto a little numb.

No, isn't anyone going to ask for our opinion?

What if Sarada disagrees?

So he came up with this almost childish method to draw fire and prevent Sarada from being targeted so closely...

But here's the problem...

What is Sarada thinking?

It's impossible for Sarada to be head over heels in love with Boruto right now.

The two were extremely familiar with each other.

They're so familiar with each other that they don't even need to guess what mischief the other is up to.

From childhood to adulthood, the two basically spent time in the same kindergarten, the same primary school, the same class, and the same team.

Often, the two don't need to say anything else; they can understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.

This level of understanding surpasses that of many couples.

However, there was indeed no passionate feeling between the two of them.

The final result is a somewhat awkward state.

However, the people on the border between life and death didn't seem to care about this.

It's good that they're conflicted; it's because of this conflict that they feel that old movie excitement.

Otherwise, it would be too boring if you could predict the rest of the story from the beginning.

Unfortunately, Sarada's choice did not surprise many people.

Sarada chose to accept it.

This doesn't mean Sarada has feelings for Boruto or anything like that.

Oh no, that's not right.

Sarada definitely has feelings for Boruto, but it's certainly not romantic love yet.

Sarada decided to accept the offer after careful consideration because she realized she had no other choice.

Because among her generation, who else besides Boruto could be a match for her?

No more.

Nara Shikadai, Kawaki, Mitsuki, and so on...

What kind of monsters are these?

They either lack good looks, lack talent, or lack both.

Sarada could only sigh helplessly, realizing she was born at the wrong time.

Sasuke found it somewhat amusing: "Born at the wrong time? Then when do you think you were born at the right time?"

Sarada stated without hesitation that the best era was when the First Hokage and the Third Hokage were born at the same time.

Sarada then expressed with longing: "To be in the same era as the First Hokage, to suppress the entire ninja world together with him, and to make everyone in the ninja world dare not act recklessly."

Together with the Third Hokage, let's start from the weak and poor Konoha Village and lead it step by step to the top.

Sasuke asked in confusion, "We've already had the First and Third Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage is from your era, so what about the Second Hokage?"

Sarada looked at her with disdain: "The Second Hokage? Even a dog wouldn't choose that."

At the boundary between life and death:

"..." Silence. Silence is the atmosphere tonight.

"Hahahaha~" Don't doubt it, there's only one person who can laugh so carefree at this moment.

That's Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju smiled as he pointed at Tobirama Senju.

Tobirama Senju was trembling with anger but had no way to refute it.

after all……

It seems he, the Second Hokage, didn't accomplish anything before he died.

The situation at the front lines was so bad that Yuya almost perished there...

With such a record, he wouldn't dare say he's not bad either...

In the end, Tobirama Senju could only sigh helplessly, then glared at the others.

Hashirama Senju laughed at me, saying that although he was my brother, I couldn't beat him, and I wouldn't provoke him.

But if any of you dare to laugh even once, I'll kill you!

The others sat upright, and not one of them smiled.

pity……

Sarada hadn't finished speaking yet.

Sarada stated:

The recent surge in rebirth stories set in the ninja world, written by authors from Konoha, all feature characters reborn into the Warring States period or the era when Yua had just become Hokage. None of them choose to be reborn during Tobirama Senju's reign; even those that exist only serve as background, with the protagonist still working alongside the Third Hokage, Yua, to change the entire ninja world.

Just as Sarada said, in these novels, the protagonist is reborn in the era of Hashirama Senju and suppresses the world alongside the First Hokage. There are also many plots where the protagonist competes with the First Hokage for Yua as his disciple. Basically, once you read these novels, you know that Yua's master is going to become the protagonist, and the Second Hokage will naturally become the protagonist.

What? Tobirama Senju?

A better option would be to send Tobirama Senju to study ninjutsu.

Some of the more influential authors directly stated that Tobirama Senju was not strong enough to survive the war.

Yes, that's right. Even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Dark Movement Technique, and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Tobirama Senju's strength wasn't enough in the war.

From this, you can see how unpopular Tobirama Senju is in the current Hidden Leaf Village.

But to be fair, Tobirama Senju played a significant role in bridging the gap between the past and the future.

Moreover, before Yua had fully matured, Tobirama Senju provided Yua with an environment conducive to her growth.

If Tobirama Senju had been a peace advocate like Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Yua people would have been gone long ago.

From this perspective, Tobirama Senju's role was still very significant.

However, that's also where the problem lies...

If you can do it, why can't we?

Anyway, no matter how they look at Tobirama Senju's achievements, they all think: "If I were in charge, I would be really good!"

So they started relentlessly criticizing Tobirama Senju in various reincarnation novels.

What could Tobirama Senju do? He could only silently endure it all.

However, this is not the most outrageous part.

Later, female authors also joined in.

As a result, books like "My father-in-law is the First Hokage" can raise a person's blood pressure.

But those female readers really like this kind of thing.

On the verge of life and death, Yuya looked at Tsunade speechlessly.

It's a palace intrigue story, right? Yuya only had Tsunade as his wife his whole life, so who was he fighting against in the palace intrigue?

Tsunade was speechless for a long time as she watched this scene. Finally, she managed to utter, "These sluts and whores, I'd be giving them too much credit by slapping them one by one."

Yuya and Hashirama Senju immediately applauded.

Amazing! Amazing!

Then he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

These youngsters of the younger generation really know how to give their ancestors something to do.

But do you think that's the end of the story? Wrong, very wrong.

The villagers in Konoha were celebrating amongst themselves, and somehow the news got out to other villages.

Other villages took one look and thought, "Wow, Konoha Village really knows how to have fun! We want to do it too!"

As a result, writers from other villages immediately followed suit.

Youya was immediately and frantically divided up.

For example, some authors writing about the Hidden Cloud Village claim that Yua wasn't actually from Konoha (which is true; Yua fled to Konoha), but was actually from the Hidden Cloud Village. Later, during the First Shinobi World War, Yua's true identity was revealed: he was actually a member of a certain clan within the Hidden Cloud Village…

Then comes the story of the Dragon King's return, leading the Hidden Cloud Village to the top of the world.

This is relatively normal; some others are abnormal, directly altering Yua's experience of fleeing to Konoha to their own village.

Yuya was speechless at the time. No, if you don't understand history, you can look it up. Back then, every village except Konoha had a lot of internal problems. Moreover, the ninja village system hadn't been established yet. Other countries saw that Konoha seemed pretty good, so they followed suit later. It wasn't that they followed suit immediately.

However, these online writers don't care about any of that.

Shuang is over.

Sarada has recently become obsessed with this.

She also felt that she would have been at her best during Yuya's era.

Then, together with Yua, I can lead Konoha to glory, and maybe I can even recruit Yua into my own ranks...

Sasuke couldn't listen any longer and drew his Seven Wolves sword.

"You damn brat! Where did you learn all this filthy thinking from?! I'm going to beat you to death today!" Sasuke exploded!

The battle is over, but we still have to face the real-world problems.

Besides Boruto, Sarada really doesn't have many other people of her generation to choose from.

Therefore, in the end, Sarada and Boruto ended up together.

Boruto was puzzled by this, but he respected Sarada's choice.

Naruto was quite happy about this. After Sarada and Boruto formed a new family, Naruto took care of all the decoration and furniture issues for their new home.

Sasuke was pleased with Naruto's understanding, but he still had to say what needed to be said.

No matter what, Sarada must not be bullied.

Naruto patted his chest loudly, promising not to let Sarada suffer any injustice.

only……

Naruto and Sasuke both forgot that Sarada inherited her powers from Sakura.

Sakura may not have much else, but her superhuman strength has somehow awakened.

This resulted in Sarada learning the Hundred Healings Technique when she reached a certain age, and her strength increasing day by day.

Ultimately, a year after their marriage, Boruto was basically at the bottom of the family hierarchy.

Even the family's pet dog dares to stand next to Sarada and bark at her a few times.

Although he got beaten up afterwards.

However, Boruto and Sarada's family are not the only ones facing pressure from their elders to get married recently.

Basically, people with names and surnames have various hints from their families.

They only give you one slipper, and you only get one chopstick when you eat, and so on.

This left Sarada's peers speechless.

As for Naruto, after Boruto's matter was resolved, the only person Naruto couldn't let go of was Kawaki.

Unfortunately, Kawaki is a bit of a closet pervert. Although his personality isn't as extreme now, Boruto has finally gotten married and moved away, so Kawaki has to make sure he can impress Naruto.

To be honest, Kawaki doesn't think Naruto is any worse than Hinata.

He wrote a book online, a novel about Naruto becoming Hokage and Hinata becoming a housewife.

In this book, Naruto can be described as omnipotent, practically a carbon copy of Yua.

No, it's even more awesome than Yuya.

After all, Yua had to put aside some of her family's situation, but in Kawaki's book, Naruto's work, life, and family were all perfect.

To be fair, the results were actually pretty good.

Moreover, Naruto reads books with great interest every day.

Although he knew his own family situation best, and Naruto understood that even if he took over, he couldn't possibly do a better job than his wife, that didn't stop him from fantasizing.

not to mention……

This wasn't even his own idea.

In short, Konoha Village has been full of all sorts of amusing incidents lately.

only……

Yet it always feels like something's missing...
