Chapter 1: The Boy Who Surpassed Jiraiya!

Konohagakure.

April.

Hot Spring Inn!

Cherry blossoms gently fluttered down, merging with the rising mist.

Faint sounds of laughter, splashing water, and exclamations filled the air.

Through the hazy mist, graceful figures appeared and disappeared.

It was captivating.

Among the white mist, there were black, yellow, blue, green... a myriad of colors!

The Shinobi World was vibrant and full of life!

At the wooden door.

A small crack was visible, and if you looked closely, you would see two pairs of eyes, one above the other, staring intently inside.

Their eyes were filled with a sense of sacredness!

The owner of the upper pair of eyes smacked his lips and exclaimed, "Such strong killing intent!"

The person below sighed and said, "Indeed! The killing intent is too strong, sinful even. Look at the one on the right with the flaxen hair, aged thirty-three, her killing intent reaches the heavens."

"Nonsense! The one with the black short hair on the left, aged twenty-two, has the most intense killing intent."

"Hmph!"

"Hmph what? Are you questioning my expertise?"

"Jiraiya-sensei, there's nothing about you I don't question, and don't forget, these eyes of mine are the famous Sharingan, known throughout the Shinobi World. Are you doubting my thousand-year heritage? Hmm!?"

The pride in the voice was unmistakable.

"...The Uchiha clan having a weirdo like you must make many of your ancestors roll in their graves."

"If Mount Myōboku knew they had produced a successor like you, many toads would come back to life out of sheer rage."

Although they were bickering, their eyes never wavered.

Determined!

Resolute!

Unyielding until death!

Their eyes were wide open!

Suddenly!

A golden figure appeared in their line of sight.

That lethal weapon swayed as it moved, emitting a dazzling light, as if tearing through the void.

"Wow, that is..."

The upper pair of eyes widened, exclaiming in shock, the whole person becoming agitated.

The lower voice grew anxious, shouting, "Jiraiya-sensei, calm down, damn it..."

"Bang!"

The two, caught off guard, exerted too much force and crashed through the door.

They tumbled inside, rolling into a heap.

"Ouch, ouch..."

"Damn it, Jiraiya-sensei, are you crazy? It's just that we saw..."

Their argument was cut short as they swallowed their words, facing several pairs of crystal-clear eyes that appeared before them.

They stiffly raised their heads.

Before them were pairs of eyes nearly blazing with fury, staring at them, with killing intent so strong it became palpable.

Oh no!

Their lives were at stake!

At this moment, the two displayed astonishing adaptability.

The so-called White-Haired Boy Jiraiya acted first, pinning down the young boy trying to get up, intending to flee himself.

Someone had to stay behind to draw fire, so the other could escape.

Right?

Jiraiya's expression was resolute.

Sorry, my friend!

But the young boy shouted, "Tsunade-sensei, your towel fell, oh my god!!!"

His hysterical shout mixed with fervor and fear.

Jiraiya froze, instinctively turning his head. Whatever he imagined, blood began to trickle from his nose, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

"Now's the time!"

The boy's eyes flashed with determination. He broke free from the hold, leaping up and kicking Jiraiya: "Dynamic Entry!"

"Bang!"

With a shoe print on his face, Jiraiya muttered, "I @#￥%&*"

Then.

The boy successfully escaped, flying out of the room, while Jiraiya was sent flying over the glowing figures, landing in the hot spring.

Water splashed everywhere!

Immediately!

The inn was filled with angry roars, screams, and pleas for mercy.

"Hehe!"

Jiraiya-sensei, entering such a 'fairyland', you must be very happy!

Even while being beaten.

I know you too well.

Haha, no need to thank me!

After all, I'm half your disciple; this is what I should do.

The boy let out a sinister laugh and sped up, leaving only afterimages behind.

He had perfected the Body Flicker Technique.

Better run!

Having seen that person, it's better not to take chances!

The boy decided to take an assignment outside the village, staying away for half a month.

In the meantime, even if the Uchiha clan was annihilated, he wouldn't come back.

However.

Midway through his escape.

A jade-like hand suddenly grabbed him by the collar, lifting him into the air.

"Yo, Uchiha boy, long time no see. I've been waiting for you."

The blonde beauty greeted him, one hand on her hip.

However.

The expression on her face, the killing intent in her eyes, was enough to scare the Hokage!

Looking at the woman, the boy's eyes filled with tears, his lips trembling.

"Tsunade-sensei!!!"

"Wow!"

The boy burst into tears, hugging the blonde woman, rubbing his face against her chest.

"Get off me!"

Tsunade's body stiffened for a moment, then she flung the boy away, shaking her hand in disgust, and coldly sneered, "Kid, you've learned Jiraiya's tricks completely. Did you enjoy the view?"

"Hehe, Tsunade-sensei, you underestimate me!"

The boy raised a finger, shaking it twice.

"Hmm?"

"I've surpassed the master! Jiraiya-sensei is no longer a match for me."

The boy puffed out his chest, his expression full of pride.

"Hmph!"

Tsunade smiled slightly and waved her hand.

"Bang!"

The wall beside them was covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

"I hope you can speak properly, with a normal tone, okay?"

Tsunade's voice was gentle, filled with warmth.

"Otherwise, I fear you might end up as a pile of minced meat."

Instantly.

The boy's eyes became clear, and he asked, "When did you return to the village, Sensei?"

"Just got back." Tsunade sneered, "I was planning to relax in the hot spring, but who knew I'd run into a couple of peeping scumbags."

Crack!

Tsunade clenched her fist.

These two scoundrels, she should have beaten them to death back then. Her momentary softness brought trouble to the Shinobi World.

They committed all kinds of misdeeds!

Moreover!

Because of their books, they started gaining fame throughout the Shinobi World, embarrassing Konoha.

Curious, Tsunade once looked at a bookstore, resulting in the store being smashed to pieces!

The content of the books, in a word: women's prime years!

Every sentence was about women!

Every page was about women!

"To think that Konoha has people like this, they must..."

The boy swallowed his words under Tsunade's dangerous gaze.

"Shut up!"

"Keep talking and see if I won't beat you to death!"

Tsunade took a deep breath, gritting her teeth, "Kid, I'll ask you one last time, do you want to come with me? Leave the village and go on a journey."

The boy looked shocked.

A journey?

With Tsunade?

Just the two of them?

He immediately screamed!

Holding his chest, he looked at Tsunade, trembling.

"I respect you as my teacher, and you lust after me?"

"No way, absolutely not!"

"Unless, you pay me!"

"Bang!"

A hard knock on the head.

The boy held his head, crouching down, rubbing it hard as tears came out.

Tsunade gritted her teeth, "I said, stop joking, you cheeky brat."

The boy, teary-eyed, replied pitifully, "I swear... I yield. Please, Sensei, have mercy."

Tsunade felt her temple throbbing.

She rubbed her forehead and said weakly, "How many times have I told you, be serious, kid. You're smart; you should understand what I mean... you Uchiha!"

The boy reluctantly nodded, his expression stubborn.

"Fine! Fine! Get lost!"

Tsunade waved her hand impatiently, "Do whatever you want. I can't be bothered with you. Do you think I really want to take you on a journey? Seeing you makes me furious!"

She turned and left.

In the distance.

A black-haired girl holding a pig was peeking at them.

The Uchiha boy waved at her, winking and pouting slightly.

The girl's face turned red, lowering her head, not daring to look.

"Let's go, Shizune, stop looking. You can't handle such a scoundrel."

Tsunade grabbed the girl's collar, dragging her away.

"Lady Tsunade..."

"He doesn't want to leave!" Tsunade said coldly, "So you don't need to beg me anymore. Besides, you've cared for him openly and secretly all these years. You've repaid that life-saving favor."

Shizune lowered her head, remaining silent.

Tsunade's expression turned colder, her voice devoid of emotion, "He knows very well."

"He knows his identity."

"He knows the tension between the village and the Uchiha."

"He knows what he will face next."

"Yet he still chooses this way, so..."

"So?"

"So, we'll stay far away." Tsunade said coldly, "We'll not only avoid the village's search but also cut off all communication with it, living in complete isolation."

Let them fight

!

The village and the Uchiha... No, it should be the Hokage faction and the Uchiha.

Let them kill each other!

Peace at last!

Anyway, none of them are any good!

As Tsunade's anger surged, her chest heaved, the world's champion in rage.

Shizune became anxious, "But..."

"It will all be over soon!" Tsunade interrupted Shizune, turning to look at the boy in the distance.

At fifteen or sixteen, he was still a boy, his figure somewhat thin.

But!

Only those who knew him would understand the power contained within that body.

As one of the Three Legendary Sannin, she didn't dare underestimate him.

The terrifying talent of the Uchiha clan was vividly displayed in him.

Few knew he was already a nightmare?

"He is not a patient, good-tempered person!"

Tsunade muttered to herself, "Teacher Sarutobi, he's different from any Uchiha you've encountered before."

"He is a completely immersed, evil lunatic!"

"Using the same methods as other Uchiha against him will only make you understand what true agony is!"

She seemed to think of something, her lips curling coldly, "Forget it, what does it matter to me? They all want me to leave quickly anyway!"

She took Shizune and left the village.

Without a hint of reluctance.

Behind her, the boy still stood, smiling.

But.

At this moment.

The smile had taken on a more sinister quality.

Leaving is good!

Tsunade, Konoha is no longer suitable for you!

Because...

You are a good person!

In every sense of the word!
