Uchiha Kage: Trolling for Fun and Profit

*Clang!*

A gleaming longsword flew from afar, perfectly blocking the *kunai* in Aburame Ryoma's hand.

Then, a purple-haired female ninja wearing a mask appeared, panting, on the trunk of a nearby tree.

*Finally made it,* Uzuki Yugao thought, breathing a sigh of relief while also taking in the miserable state of Aburame Ryoma.

His clothes were tattered, and blood was seeping from his left shoulder.

In contrast, Uchiha Kage, whom he had been chasing all this time, didn't have a single scratch on him.

It was truly unbelievable.

"Hey, Nine Tails, quickly hand over the scroll..."

Mizuki, who had arrived with Naruto, hadn't even finished saying "I" when he realized that the situation before him seemed very wrong.

Besides Naruto, who was carrying the Forbidden Technique Scroll, there were actually three more uninvited guests.

A female ninja wearing a mask, most likely an Anbu ninja.

Someone who seemed to be a Root ninja, with black bugs floating around him.

And Uchiha Kage, a student from his class—he didn't need to worry about him.

But the pressure from the first two was just too much!

Mizuki touched the large *shuriken* on his back. With his mediocre *Chunin* strength, trying to deal with Anbu and Root elite ninja was a joke.

*Damn it…*

*Why are there so many people here?*

*Could it be that my plan to use Naruto to steal the Forbidden Technique Scroll was exposed to the Hokage a long time ago?*

"Anbu ninja, and the Nine Tails..."

After his attack was interrupted, Aburame Ryoma sobered up a lot.

Seeing Naruto carrying the scroll and the Anbu chasing after him, he understood that things were getting out of hand today.

But he was unwilling to retreat and give up just like that.

"Has Hokage-sama's support arrived?"

A moment later, Iruka, who had been following behind Mizuki, also arrived near the group.

Looking at the purple-haired female ninja wearing an Anbu Mask, he thought she was a helper sent by the Hokage to intercept Mizuki and Naruto.

But neither Aburame Ryoma nor Uzuki Yugao had time to care about these two Huskies who had wandered into a pack of wolves.

Only Uchiha Kage was secretly enjoying the show in his heart.

*The Third Hokage probably didn't expect anyone else to interfere with his carefully arranged plan for Naruto, right?*

*Heh, I really want to know what that old geezer's expression is like right now.*

----

"Have Root ninja fallen so low that they won't even let go of a child who just became a *Genin*?"

Uzuki Yugao couldn't understand why the Root ninja were so fixated on Uchiha Kage.

It was pure nonsense.

"A mere *Genin* who just came out of the academy can injure a *Jonin* like me to this extent. I have reason to suspect that he is a spy sent by another village!"

Aburame Ryoma, his face alternating between cloudy and clear, decided to define Uchiha Kage's identity first.

"Speak! What is the purpose of you hiding your strength?"

"I'm not hiding my strength. You're just stupid. You fell into my trap and got injured."

Uchiha Kage bluntly exposed Aburame Ryoma's attempt to save face.

Now, as long as he continued to provoke the other party and let him attack, it would be a victory.

"And you're so weak, yet you're a *Jonin*? I think you're the spy from another village, whose purpose is to lower the quality of our Konoha *Jonin*!"

"You… you're asking for death!"

Aburame Ryoma, losing it, directly commanded his insects to pounce on Uchiha Kage.

"Don't hurt Kage!"

Although Naruto didn't understand the situation, seeing Uchiha Kage being attacked by this insect-manipulating ninja, he, as a friend, quickly stood in front of Uchiha Kage.

"Don't worry, I learned a very powerful *Ninjutsu*. I can definitely defeat this bad guy!"

Naruto made Hand Seals while confidently staring at the hooded ninja in front of him.

The only one who knew he was the Nine Tails and was still willing to be his friend was probably Uchiha Kage. Sasuke… well, Sasuke and the others counted as half.

"So… I will absolutely not let anyone hurt my friends!"

"Naruto…"

Uchiha Kage looked at the figure holding the scroll and standing in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

*Crap, did I come too early? Am I taking Iruka's role now?*

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto, who had created a large number of Shadow Clones, clenched his fists and charged towards Aburame Ryoma.

"So, the Nine Tails has mastered this Forbidden Technique…"

Aburame Ryoma looked at Mizuki, who was already trying to escape not far away, and then looked at Naruto, who was besieging him. Only then did he finally realize that he might have gotten involved in some kind of trouble.

But he couldn't care about that now.

"However, this *Ninjutsu* is useless against me."

*Boom, boom, boom, boom…*

The insect army in front of Aburame Ryoma was like a rain cloud. Every time it came into contact with Naruto's attacking Shadow Clones, it would cause the Shadow Clones to dissipate into the air.

And Naruto's main body was also surrounded by the insect swarm, trapped in place and unable to move.

"What are you doing!?"

Seeing Naruto surrounded by the insect swarm, and the Aburame Clan ninja wanting to attack Uchiha Kage, Iruka also ran over to stand in front of him.

"What exactly is going on?"

Not even having time to care about Mizuki, who seemed to have already escaped, Iruka stared at Aburame Ryoma's powerful pressure while asking Uchiha Kage and the Anbu ninja, who had picked up her longsword again.

"I don't know either. He chased me in the village for no reason and said that the Uchiha clan should all disappear."

Sensing a certain spectator nearby, Uchiha Kage quickly added fuel to the fire and added more charges to Aburame Ryoma's list of crimes.

"Hmph, the Uchiha clan is an evil clan to begin with. You're hiding your strength, definitely to…"

Aburame Ryoma, who didn't understand the current situation, didn't even think about refuting Uchiha Kage's words.

He just wanted to capture the Uchiha Little Kid in front of him and then get out of here as soon as possible.

"Aburame Ryoma!"

However, before Aburame Ryoma could continue to attack, a low and aged voice appeared in everyone's ears.

"Hokage… Hokage-sama?"

Hearing this voice, Aburame Ryoma instantly lost all the strength in his body.

"Stop it this instant!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing his Hokage Robe, arrived with two Anbu ninja and the recently escaped Mizuki.

"Yes."

Aburame Ryoma obediently retreated to the side, but he was still somewhat unwilling in his heart.

"But Hokage-sama, Uchiha Kage, this guy…"

"Enough, isn't it embarrassing enough? A *Jonin* being taught a lesson by a *Genin* using *Ninjutsu* and traps, and now you want to use conspiracy theories to slander him, and even say those divisive words…"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also saw the remains of the traps left behind after Uchiha Kage and Aburame Ryoma's battle when he arrived.

With his experience, he could see through the process of the duel between the two at a glance.

"The Uchiha are all heroes of the village. This is an undeniable fact. If you still recognize me as the Hokage, then apologize to the Uchiha, and to this Uchiha Kage in front of you!"

"I…"

Aburame Ryoma wanted to say that he never said he wanted the Uchiha clan to disappear, but he was indeed lured by Uchiha Kage to say some bad things just now. Now, he couldn't refute it.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have suspected you, and I shouldn't have… I shouldn't have slandered the Uchiha clan!"

Gritting his teeth, Aburame Ryoma lowered his head in the direction of Uchiha Kage, full of grievances, and apologized.

"Whatever. Anyway, there are only two Uchiha left now. Even if you kill me, probably no one would take it seriously."

Uchiha Kage continued to add fuel to the fire for Aburame Ryoma.

"So, you can come and kill me next time. Maybe next time, you won't even have to apologize."

"You…"

Aburame Ryoma wanted to say, "Don't pretend here," but seeing the increasingly dark expression on the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's face, he quickly lowered his head and waist even further.

"I swear in the name of the Aburame Clan that I will never attack you again!"

*Damn Little Kid! Don't ever let him find another chance!*

"Okay, I'm relieved for now."

Uchiha Kage thought that if this guy came again next time, it wouldn't be as simple as a shoulder injury.

"That's how it should be."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction.

"Kage, you performed very well today. And Naruto, although you stole the scroll, you faced a strong enemy head-on for the sake of friendship and never retreated. In the future, Konoha's future will depend on new leaves like you…"

After saying a lot about the 'Will of Fire,' Sarutobi Hiruzen then had Iruka announce the good news that Naruto had passed the graduation exam. Only then did he leave the Death Forest with the group.

Obviously, due to the intrusion of Aburame Ryoma and Uchiha Kage, he didn't quite know how to end it, so he could only awkwardly praise Naruto.

----

"That Danzo, I told him to send someone to contact Orochimaru, but he pulled *that*!"

As soon as he returned to the Hokage Office, Sarutobi Hiruzen cursed Danzo.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama. It's all because I didn't supervise properly that the Root people…"

Uzuki Yugao, while complaining inwardly about Gekko Hayate, who had stopped her, waited anxiously for the Hokage to punish her for her poor handling of the matter.

"Today's matter is not your fault. You may leave."

But Sarutobi Hiruzen just waved his hand expressionlessly and didn't pursue her fault.

Because he knew that with Uzuki Yugao's strength, she would most likely not be a match for Aburame Ryoma.

"Yes."

Although she wasn't punished, Uzuki Yugao still left the Hokage Office with a heavy heart.

"But, I really didn't expect that he could actually injure Aburame Ryoma."

Uchiha Kage… Although he hasn't awakened the Sharingan, he may not be without potential.

After Uzuki Yugao left, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked while studying the 'Future Note' that he had recently obtained.

"If everything on this is true, I wonder if the future has already begun to change from now on?"

Anyone, especially Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had lived for so many years, could not remain indifferent to his death date, which was only a few months away.

----

"The Uchiha clan doesn't lack geniuses. It seems I misjudged him."

On the other side, Root.

Danzo didn't have much of a reaction after listening to Aburame Ryoma's report.

Uchiha Kage's matter had already reached this point, so there was no need to continue.

But…

"What exactly is Hiruzen up to today?"

He summoned a large number of Anbu, but did nothing and then disbanded the Anbu again.

This was too suspicious.

And he even told me to contact Orochimaru?

Could it be that he hasn't gotten over his "good Disciple" Orochimaru and is now thinking of calling him back to the village?

But Orochimaru returning to the village would also benefit me.

"Ryoma, you performed so poorly this time that you were originally going to be punished, but I'll let it go for now."

Danzo glanced at the ninja in front of him.

Aburame Ryoma had also been Orochimaru's subordinate for a period of time, so it was most suitable for him to find Orochimaru again.

It was also a good opportunity for him to atone for his sins and block Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth from wanting to question their Root.

"If you don't handle the next mission well, don't blame me for what happens to you."

"Yes, Danzo-sama."

"Hiruzen, what exactly are you planning?"

After Aburame Ryoma left, Danzo began to think about Sarutobi Hiruzen's unusual behavior today.

But he couldn't come to any conclusions.

*Could it be that I'm overthinking it? Actually, Hiruzen didn't do anything?*

*No, that's impossible. Knowing him, he definitely has something he's hiding from me!*

----

Sasuke had been completely forgotten. He was waiting for Uchiha Kage and Naruto to discuss tactics in the 'dream' that night after school. Standing in the cold wind, he gnashed his teeth.

He didn't move to go home with a frosty face until it was dark.

And it was at this time that he saw Naruto and Uchiha Kage, 'arm in arm,' walking out of Ichiraku Ramen.

"Yo, Sasuke! You came too? But you're late, so you missed out!"

Naruto, while holding his stomach, showed off the ninja headband on his forehead to Sasuke, who was standing in the shadows.

Afraid that the other party wouldn't notice that he had also obtained a 'graduation certificate.'

But Sasuke just glanced at them coldly and turned around and walked away without looking back.

"What's with him? So arrogant again!"

Naruto couldn't help but feel disappointed that he didn't succeed in showing off to Sasuke.

"He seems angry."

Uchiha Kage finally remembered something after seeing the angry Sasuke.

*Crap, I forgot that we had an appointment to discuss the matters in the dream tonight after school.*

"Ah, angry… Huh! Could it be that Sasuke has been waiting for us all along?"

Naruto also realized that he seemed to have stood someone up.

The two then realized the seriousness of the problem in tonight's 'dream.'

Sasuke was really very angry.

Therefore, today's Kaguya Instance still ended in a wonderful failure.

At the same time, the 'NPC Tsunade' and 'NPC Hinata' in the 'dream' also deepened their 'bonds' with Uchiha Kage again.

And Uchiha Kage's way of treating these two 'NPCs' became more and more daring…

Tsunade's body is really fragrant, and Hinata's body is also really sweet.

If only the real them could be like this… that would be great.

----

"I wonder which *Jonin* team I'll be assigned to today?"

The next morning.

Still the same location, still the same recipe.

Uchiha Kage stared at the Byakugan girl next to him, whose face was as red as a teapot, while wondering in his heart about today's *Genin* team assignments.
