Chapter 223: Sarutobi Hiruzen

My name is Shimura Danzo, I am five years old, and my future was originally bright. My grandfather is the clan head, and my father is an elder. If nothing goes wrong, I will become the rising star of the Shimura clan, living a wonderful life of bullying the weak and lording over others.

However, after meeting this detestable curly-haired guy in front of me, my planned growth path has undergone a world-shaking change.

"Wuu wuu wuu~ Even my grandfather has never hit me like this~"

Lying on the ground with his butt stuck up, little Danzo raised his head in grievance. The dust on his face, mixed with tears, smeared his entire face into a big, messy cat. Feeling the heart-piercing pain coming from his butt, the five-year-old cried even louder.

"Eh, Danzo, why are you lying on the ground with your butt stuck up?"

Just as little Danzo was streaming with tears and snot, a figure suddenly stood before him. The person asked in a very confused voice.

"Uh, Monkey, save me quickly!"

Trapped in the greatest predicament of his life, little Danzo saw who it was through his blurry eyes. His expression suddenly became agitated. He reached out a hand to grab the other person's pant leg and said tremblingly,

"Ha? Did you do something stupid again?"

The person regarded by Danzo as a savior was also a brat of similar age. However, compared to the emotionally unstable little Danzo, this brat called "Monkey" had a hint of maturity in his eyes that didn't belong to his age. Looking at the wailing childhood friend on the ground, he frowned and asked.

"No! That detestable curly-haired guy, as soon as he heard my name was Danzo, he went crazy and whipped me. Wuu wuu wuu, my butt~"

"To actually dare to beat up a child in the street here, what kind of background does that guy have? Looking at it, even the Uchiha clan gives him three points of respect."

After muttering in his heart, his gaze crossed over the crying little Danzo to look at Uchiha Gin, who was currently debating a crowd of scholars. The confusion in his eyes grew stronger. He then turned his head to look at the lean man standing behind him and asked cautiously,

"Father, do you know who that man is?"

"Strange, too strange. Judging from his aura, that man is only at the Captain level. Although that guy Shimura Kenichi is poorly skilled, he at least has the strength of an Elite Captain, yet he was beaten to the point of having no power to fight back."

The lean man looked in surprise at the eloquent Uchiha Gin. His perception was not bad, and he could accurately judge the other party's strength. The gap between Captain-level and Elite Captain-level was like a chasm. This plain-looking curly-haired guy definitely had a complicated background.

"Hiruzen, let's go over, but remember, never learn from Shimura Danzo and be reckless."

Looking at the Shimura father and son trapped in a predicament, the lean man sighed. After instructing his son, he walked toward Uchiha Gin.

The Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan had been unbreakable allies for many years. This time, they had even come to Konoha as a group to inspect. If he continued to stand by and watch, he would only become a laughingstock for other ninja clans.

"No! This detestable curly-haired guy must give our Shimura clan an explanation."

Before he even got close, the man heard Shimura Kenichi's brassy voice, which made him frown involuntarily.

This was the territory of the Senju and Uchiha. Did this guy Shimura Kenichi even have a brain?

"Kenichi, for you to shout in the street like this, sounding like a shrew, is truly a disgrace to the Shimura clan's reputation."

The lean man walked to the side of Uchiha Gin and the others, and with a heavy voice, warned his relatively familiar ally.

"Sasuke? You came just in time. Hurry and help me clean up this detestable curly-haired guy!"

Shimura Kenichi, who was at a disadvantage, heard a familiar voice. He turned his head in surprise, looked at the cold-faced Sarutobi Sasuke, and greeted him with a loud laugh.

"Sasuke? Where is he?"

Uchiha Gin, who was originally immersed in the joy of revenge, suddenly heard a name he couldn't be more familiar with. His eyes lit up immediately, and he began to search all around, leaving everyone present completely confused.

"Hello, I am Sarutobi Sasuke. I don't know your honorable name."

The lean man was also full of confusion. Why did this curly-haired guy have such an excited expression after hearing his name? He subconsciously touched his butt, a strange look appearing in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he introduced himself.

"Hi, so it's Li Gui—no, it seems this guy is the real Li Kui~"

Looking at the lean man in front of him who looked somewhat familiar between the brows, Uchiha Gin curled his lips and muttered a few words in his heart. Then he raised his head, revealed a very warm and friendly smile, and replied to the vigilant Sarutobi Sasuke.

"Hello, hello, my name is Uchiha Gin, just an ordinary Uchiha clansman~"

"Ah?" *4

The two adults and two children from the Sarutobi and Shimura clans all revealed expressions of disbelief after hearing Uchiha Gin's self-introduction. Four pairs of eyes stared straight at the fluffy curly hair on top of Uchiha Gin's head, and questioning voices lingered in their throats.

"What, don't I look like one?"

Facing the questioning gazes of the four, Uchiha Gin opened his dead-fish eyes, which were narrowed into slits. Although the scarlet light flashed by, it was seen clearly by these people, and they instantly swallowed their questioning voices back into their stomachs.

"Sorry, it was Kenichi who was abrupt."

The madness of the Uchiha clan had long been famous in the Land of Fire. Even though Sarutobi Sasuke was very confident in his own strength, he didn't want to provoke an Uchiha clansman who smiled so brilliantly. Who knew if this guy had some kind of major psychological illness.

"Kenichi, apologize to this gentleman of the Uchiha clan yet!"

Sarutobi Sasuke turned around, looked at his indignant friend, his eyes full of threats, stared fixedly at Shimura Kenichi's eyes, and urged in a cold voice.

"Why... Fine... Fine."

He didn't expect that both he and his son had been beaten, and in the end, they had to apologize. Shimura Kenichi, who had never suffered such grievances, stiffened his neck in a posture of stubborn resistance.

However, when he saw Sarutobi Sasuke in front of him reveal an expression like a demon, his heart skipped a beat, and his arrogant aura instantly extinguished. Like a wronged little wife, he walked to Uchiha Gin, lowered his head, and said in a low voice,

"I'm sorry, I was the one at fault first. Please forgive me!"

"To know one's mistake and correct it is the greatest virtue. Then I will forgive you~"

Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows. Looking at Shimura Kenichi, who had instantly softened, he took a rather surprised look at Sarutobi Sasuke, who was standing behind supervising. He didn't expect that this ninja, who left a name in the original work, actually had such high prestige in the Shimura clan.

"Sarutobi Sasuke, is that little guy who looks like he has a lot of schemes your son? I don't know his name?"

Exchanging a glance with Sarutobi Sasuke, the goodwill released from the other party's eyes left Uchiha Gin confused for a moment. He then looked at the other brat who was comforting the wailing Danzo, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and he pointed at that child and asked.

"Cough cough cough... I don't know, does the name Hiruzen fit the rules?"

Sarutobi Sasuke, who was brewing in his heart how to communicate with the mysterious Uchiha in front of him, suddenly heard the other party ask about his son. In the moment of confusion, he recalled Shimura Danzo, who had just been humiliated in the street.

The curly-haired guy in front of him had beaten Danzo's butt to a pulp just because of a name. Although the damage wasn't great, the insult was extremely strong. Thinking of this, his heart tightened. After coughing a few times, he asked cautiously.

"So you're called Hiruzen?"

Hearing a familiar name again, Uchiha Gin was happy again. The next moment, he body-flickered to the front of the two brats. Looking at the brat who was helping the miserable little Danzo pull up his pants, he asked with a smile.

"So fast!"

He didn't expect that just after he finished speaking, Uchiha Gin in front of him would instantly disappear. Sarutobi Sasuke, shocked, hurriedly searched all around, only to find that the other party was already standing in front of his son, bending down with a full face of smiles, not knowing what he was saying.

"Ouch~ Monkey, be gentle, you touched my butt!"

Just as he was disdainfully helping his childhood friend, who couldn't move, pull up his pants, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of them. After seeing who it was, Shimura Danzo was so scared he trembled, and his hand grabbing his belt went soft. The pants that Sarutobi Hiruzen had just helped him pull up instantly dropped.

The red-to-the-point-of-purple butt was once again exposed to the cold air. But as the owner of the butt, little Danzo didn't dare to move at all, fearing that any inappropriate behavior would anger the curly-haired demon in front of him again.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Sarutobi Hiruzen, please take care of me."

Compared to the nervous Shimura Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had yet to witness Uchiha Gin's vicious methods, introduced himself with a normal expression. A strange light flickered in his eyes, but there was no sign of fear.

As the son of the Sarutobi clan head, he believed that if the other party treated him the same way they treated Danzo, his father would definitely knock them down in an instant.

"Tsk! The little guy has some guts. Come, Uncle will treat you to some candy~"

Not expecting the little Sarutobi Hiruzen to have the courage to face him directly, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow and smiled even more brightly. After offering a compliment, he casually fished a lollipop out of his bag and handed it over.

"Uh... thank you, Uncle."

Looking at the candy Uchiha Gin handed over, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel a bit smug. He glanced at the miserable-looking Shimura Danzo beside him and reached out to take the lollipop. Smelling the charming, sweet scent of the candy, he swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

"Gulp~"

Just as the sound of swallowing was heard, Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously pursed his lips, only to realize the sound hadn't come from him. As he turned his head to look at the source of the sound,

"Monkey, you will regret this!"

Why was there such differential treatment when they were both children? The cunning monkey got candy while he was being brutally tortured. Shimura Danzo, filled with resentment, looked at the candy emitting a charming scent in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and warned him loudly.

"Only good children get candy, and I am a good child~"

Sensing the visible jealousy in his childhood friend's eyes, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a contemptuous smile. He then tore open the candy wrapper and, under the other's murderous gaze, stuffed the entire lollipop into his mouth, making a slurping sound that made the little Danzo, who couldn't have any, itch with rage, secretly marking this grudge in his heart.

"Is it good?"

Uchiha Gin watched the scene of the brothers turning against each other with a smile and asked meaningfully.

"Slurp~ Slurp~ It's good!"

Even with all his schemes, Sarutobi Hiruzen was only a five-year-old child, easily taken down by the sugar-coated bullet.

"Is this little brat named Danzo your good brother?"

Rubbing his chin, Uchiha Gin pointed at the bare-bottomed Shimura Danzo beside him and asked aloud.

"Slurp~ Danzo? Slurp~ We two are, slurp~ good friends who grew up wearing the same pair of pants~"

Intoxicated in the gentle embrace of the candy, Sarutobi Hiruzen dropped his guard and answered on his own, completely unaware of the cramped smile in the other's eyes.

"Hehe, since you grew up wearing the same pair of pants, he's already taken them off, so why are you still wearing yours?"

Uchiha Gin let out a strange laugh. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the target, hadn't even swallowed the sweetness in his mouth when he felt a chill at his crotch. The sudden turn of events left him momentarily dazed, not knowing how to respond.

"Ew~ such a tiny little bird, hope the bird is okay~"

As the culprit, Uchiha Gin looked at the little bird at Sarutobi Hiruzen's crotch with a teasing expression. After evaluating it, he reached out with his evil hand.

A faint blue light appeared in Uchiha Gin's hand. With a flick of his finger, a sharp gust of wind shot out. Just before reaching the designated target, the wind split into several strands, mercilessly initiating a fatal strike.

"Ah? Ah! Ah~ Ah~~"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, suffering the strike, swore this was the most shameful moment of his life. He wanted to dodge but found his whole body unable to move, forced to stand in place and accept the baptism of humiliation, a mix of pain and inexplicable pleasure making him unable to stop himself from crying out.

"Don't hurt my son!"

Sarutobi Sasuke, standing to the side, exploded instantly upon hearing his beloved son's wails. His eyes fixed on Uchiha Gin's back, his hands began to move rapidly. In an instant, a scorching aura permeated the area.

"Hey, I'm just teasing the bird, don't be so hot-headed~"

Sensing the astonishing heat behind him, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow and explained, but his hand movements continued, causing the clueless Sarutobi Hiruzen to howl, which made Danzo on the side feel great satisfaction.

"Sarutobi Sasuke, what do you want to do?"

For such a small scene, Uchiha Gin didn't even need to act. Uchiha Huo He, who was watching the show from the side, led his men to surround Sarutobi Sasuke, who had been brewing a mouthful of fire-attribute chakra. Several pairs of scarlet Sharingan stared at him coldly, the chilling and obscure aura making his scalp tingle.

"Is this your Konoha's way of treating guests?"

Sarutobi Sasuke, stared at by several three-tomoe Sharingan, finally gritted his teeth and swallowed the fire in his throat. Frowning, he loudly accused them.

"Guests? I'm afraid you aren't qualified enough!"

Before Uchiha Huo He could speak, a gloomy-looking hedgehog-haired boy following him spoke up first, his scarlet eyes filled with thick disdain.

"Look clearly, this is the territory of our Uchiha clan. A mere Sarutobi is not qualified to call himself a guest."

Huh~ This kid seems to be the offspring of Brother Liuying, what was his name, Chanada?

What Uchiha Gin didn't expect was that at this point in time, there were still clansmen brave enough to say such things. If spread by someone with ulterior motives, they would likely be hung up and whipped by the Senju brothers.

"Chanada, watch your words."

As the captain, Uchiha Huo He glanced at Uchiha Chanada beside him, dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes. After a cold warning, he turned to look at the vigilant Sarutobi Sasuke and said,

"Don't be agitated yet. I believe Lord Gin is not the type of person to bully children."

"Wuwuwu~ Father, save me, my penis is about to explode~"

Unexpectedly, just as Uchiha Huo He finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen's crying voice reached everyone's ears, causing Sarutobi Sasuke's face, which had just calmed down, to turn copper-green instantly, his wide eyes filled with anger.

"Is this what you call not that type of person?"

"There must be some misunderstanding here. Lord Gin is usually very friendly to others, respecting the old and loving the young, proficient in everything."

"Ha! Ha! Ha~ Scream louder for me, didn't you eat?"

"."

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Hearing Uchiha Gin's strange laughter, Sarutobi Sasuke, whose face was gloomy to the extreme, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He bit his finger, smeared blood on his palm, and after quickly forming a few seals, slammed it onto the ground. As a profound seal appeared on the ground, a furry hand reached out from the smoke that appeared out of thin air, and a sharp voice sounded simultaneously.

"Sasuke, who is the enemy this time?"

"Enma, help me..."

Having summoned Enma, Sarutobi Sasuke felt secure. With Enma cooperating with him, he wouldn't even be afraid of the legendary Senju Hashirama.

Enma: I never said that.

Just as he was about to issue further orders, a suddenly appearing curly-haired person blocked the space between Enma and him, causing his order to die in the cradle.

The aura of space power behind him finally made Uchiha Gin stop his strike. After turning around and sizing up Enma, who was wearing a tiger-skin skirt and whose fur was so smooth it was outrageous, he excitedly used Body Flicker to appear in front of this summoning beast. With a look of wonder in his eyes, he asked with a tsking sound,

"Tsk~ Do you guys also have a Holy Land?"

"Holy Land? Never heard of it."

Enma, who had just arrived, answered subconsciously in the face of Uchiha Gin's questioning.

It seems the Enma clan does not have a Holy Land like Mount Myoboku.

"Then where is your old home?"

Uchiha Gin, unwilling to give up, got to the bottom of it.

"Strange human, even if you knew, you couldn't go. Our boss hates humans very much."

Facing the persistent Uchiha Gin, Enma shook his tail behind him, frowned with his furry brows, and explained.

"Tell me, I just want to know what kind of paradise it is that can make your fur so smooth~"

"Nonsense, our old home is at Mount Huaguo, you..."

"Enma! Don't be fooled by him, the enemy is him!"

Seeing the Enma he had worked so hard to summon being led astray by Uchiha Gin, Sarutobi Sasuke was instantly furious. He shouted "Enma" and informed his not-so-smart summoning beast of Uchiha Gin's true identity.

"Uh... as expected, just as the Boss said, humans are all despicable!"

Hearing Sarutobi Sasuke's reminder, Enma's face turned ugly instantly. He pointed at Uchiha Gin's nose and started spraying.

"Then Sarutobi Sasuke is also a human!"

Uchiha Gin, caught in the crossfire, scratched his head awkwardly. He glanced at Sarutobi Sasuke, who was ready to strike not far away, and asked in a strange tone,

"Huh? Isn't Sasuke a monkey?"

Good, good, good. So the reason your Sarutobi clan can sign contracts with the Enma clan is all thanks to atavism?

"Brother Huo He, hurry up and take that guy down. I saw him coming out of Senju Tobirama's office a few days ago, looking like they were having a pleasant conversation. He must be captured and interrogated!"

Uchiha Chanada, who was not at peace, quietly approached Uchiha Huo He and whispered the information he knew, the coldness in his eyes even greater than before.

"Chanada, you talk too much. After I go back, I will report this to the clan head."

Not expecting that even after his warning, this kid Uchiha Chanada still wouldn't give up, Uchiha Huo He, who already had complaints about him, lowered his impression of him even further.

"Captain Huo He! I said this all for the sake of the Uchiha clan!"

"Enma, get ready to make a big scene!"

Even a clay figure has a temper. Seeing that the Uchiha security team was intentionally favoring the curly-haired Uchiha in front of him, Sarutobi Sasuke hardened his heart, waved his hand to summon Enma, and prepared to go to war with the other party.

"Stop, all of you!"

Just as both sides were at daggers drawn, a white-haired figure descended from the sky, landing between the security team and Sarutobi Sasuke. Senju Tobirama's scarlet eyes released thick pressure, making both sides unable to breathe for a moment. As everyone's momentum collapsed, this battle that hadn't yet begun came to an early end.

"What happened? Why are you fighting?"

Seeing that both sides had calmed down, Senju Tobirama, with an unhappy expression, asked Sarutobi Sasuke, who was on guard.

"Lord Tobirama, it's all this curly-haired guy's fault..."

Seeing his backer arrive, Sarutobi Sasuke straightened his back, waved his hand, and pointed at Uchiha Gin, who was crouching not far away with green light flourishing in his hands, and accused him.

"You mean, Uchiha Gin is bullying your child?"

After Sarutobi Sasuke's retelling without adding oil or vinegar, Senju Tobirama's expression became extremely strange. Looking at Uchiha Gin, who was clapping his hands with satisfaction, he confirmed again.

"That's right, he flowered the butt of Xianyi's son, and also my son's penis... Lord Tobirama, you must uphold justice for us~"

Sarutobi Sasuke, feeling very stifled, wanted Lord Tobirama to punish that hateful curly-haired guy properly, preferably by hanging him up, spanking his butt while flicking his bird.

"Uchiha Gin, is what they said true?"

Waving at Uchiha Gin, Senju Tobirama looked at the smug curly-haired guy, frowned, and asked.

"Hey~ You know, I just like playing with children. If you don't believe me, ask Huo He and the others. I adopted a five-year-old child before, and we played every day. It was much more varied than this, I'm already used to it~"

"Say that again, I didn't hear clearly."
