Chapter 83: Orochimaru's Wisdom

"Finally willing to let him onto the battlefield?" In the temporary camp of Konoha in the Land of Rivers, Orochimaru looked at Tatsuma, who had been brought over by Tsunade, with an expression of doubt on his face.

Tsunade nodded and said, "He said he's ready."

"It does seem like he's prepared."

Orochimaru examined Tatsuma for a moment before he nodded. Now Tatsuma indeed looked different, at least with a bit of a ninja's appearance.

Tatsuma felt a bit uneasy under Oro...

Chapter 82: Minato's Request

Upon hearing this, the faces of the other leaders including the Inuzuka clan leader turned unpleasant. Well, it seems the turmoil extends beyond the battlefield!

Originally, some members of their clan were needed, making it difficult for them to accept. Except for the Hyuga and Senju clans, who were eager to join the battle, the other clans preferred to preserve their members for development.

However, being named by Sarutobi Hiruzen for deployment was inevitable. For those not sel...

Chapter 81: Declaring War

"Hiruzen, are you sure you want to do this?"

In the Senju Clan headquarters, facing Sarutobi Hiruzen who came to discuss, Mito sighed and asked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "Hidden Sand Village has violated the rules. If I, as the Hokage, don't respond forcefully, where is the dignity of Konoha? Moreover, if I am unwilling to go to war, the various ninja clans in the village, led by the Hyuga, may become disloyal to the village because of this matter. This battle must be fou...

Chapter 80: Personal Unique Talent

"Splash~"

At midnight, inside the medical camp, Tatsuma leaned on the washstand with both hands, his face covered in water droplets. The water from the high tower reservoir kept flowing down, but Tatsuma paid no attention.

Tatsuma dared not sleep. Whenever he felt a bit drowsy, scenes from yesterday would come to his mind, recalling the moment when he led six people to their deaths.

In the distance, Tsunade also stayed awake. Under the cover of the night, she watched her "ti...

Chapter 79: First Kill and Rasengan

After separating from Hyuga Kai, Tatsuma quickly headed towards the camp with Hyuga Miyako on his back, occasionally looking back.

The frequency of the fire on that side was decreasing, indicating that the battle was coming to an end. However, the battlefield was gradually shifting towards the direction of the Land of Fire camp, making Tatsuma's expression extremely grim.

This meant that the Konoha Ninjas on this side might be on the losing end, retreating step by step.

Hyug...

Chapter 78: Trust Your Instincts When You Sense Trouble

"Yo! Tatsuma, here you are again. This time, it's been 33 minutes since you last left. Making progress, huh?"

Inside the communication base, a middle-aged man with blond hair saw Tatsuma appear and joked while looking at the clock. Tatsuma scratched his head and asked, "Uncle Yamanaka Tani, any news from the front lines?"

Tatsuma, skilled in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, had a sweet tongue. Seeing his smile, Yamanaka Tani couldn't help but think of the child...

Chapter 77: Taking The Initiative

"It seems that this time, Hokage-sama really values this war, persuading the Hyuga Clan to send the main family ninja to support us."

Inside the medical camp, Tatsuma listened to the discussions of the surrounding ninjas, curiosity prompting him to lift his head and eavesdrop on their conversations.

Before coming to this world, Tatsuma had a mistaken belief that the Hyuga main family consisted only of the Hyuga clan head and the heir, especially considering that even the heir's yo...

Chapter 76: Exceptional Background Grants Undeserved Positions

From the Hidden Leaf Village to the border of the Land of Fire, with the speed of a ninja, it would be enough to reach the destination in just two days or even less. However, when it comes to moving a large army, the speed inevitably slows down.

Firstly, it's challenging to coordinate a large number of people. Unlike a small group of three to five individuals who can easily adjust their speed, with a large number of people, the only option is to slow down to maintain formation.

Chapter 75: Single People Give The Best Advice

In the two days before their departure, Tatsuma was constantly training, not to temporarily grasp at more talents, but to adapt to the increasing weight of his left hand.

In fact, Tatsuma was quite puzzled by the heaviness of his left hand. He even weighed himself, and there was no change, but his left hand felt heavy, as if bearing the weight of the additional Chakra.

This was something Tatsuma had never imagined before—Chakra giving him a heavy sensation. After all, he always ...

Chapter 74: Mito's Gift!

"Send Sakamoto Tatsuma to the battlefield? Isn't that ridiculous?!"

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the list handed over by Tsunade, very dissatisfied.

How old is Tatsuma? Not even nine years old, and with the talent he has shown, in ten years, no, perhaps only six or seven years, he could possess the strength of a Jonin.

Such a genius, compared to Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, is not inferior at all. Sending such a promising seed to a dangerous battle...

Chapter 73: Request To Join the Battlefield

"Where did you learn Sakumo-senpai's swordsmanship?" Within the Senju clan's territory, Tsunade watched as Tatsuma skillfully wielded a short knife, feeling puzzled. Although she didn't understand swordsmanship, she could recognize the similarities between Tatsuma's movements and those of Sakumo Hatake.

Tatsuma paused at the question and replied, "I met Sakumo-sama yesterday, had a chat, and he generously shared the essentials of swordsmanship with me."

"Oh." Tsunade nodded withou...

Chapter 72: Sakumo's Training Notes

In the deep spring and shallow summer, just as the ninja world fell into the illusion of peace again, even when prices began to fall, a piece of news, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirred up waves.

The son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo, the advisor of Hidden Sand Village, were murdered around the national border. That night, a streak of white light cut through the night sky at the border of the Wind and Fire countries, illuminating the night as bright as day and then disappearin...

Chapter 71: Hidden Effects of Space-Time Talent

After venting, Bunta glared at Minato and denied again, "How is that possible?! With the small amount of Chakra in his body, it's impossible for him to Summon me!"

Katsuyu also bent down slightly, being more sensitive. She could perceive that the one summoning herself was this boy with hair color that seemed pleasing to the eye.

"You are really amazing, huh? But it seems like there isn't that much Chakra in your body either."

Tatsuma and Minato glanced at each other, somewha...

Chapter 70: Summoning Contract

In the afternoon, Tsunade and Jiraiya, with swollen eyes, were drinking orange juice sip by sip. The two, who had little appetite for lunch after the hangover, only ate a little to fill their stomachs.

On the contrary, orange juice has become their current favorite, as it managed to suppress some of their stomach discomfort, making it more bearable.

On the side, Minato Namikaze and Sakamoto Tatsuma, each holding a scroll, were being instructed by Mito. Originally, these tasks shou...

Chapter 69: Splitting The Gifts

"Minato, this short knife is for you, it's made of Chakra metal."

At night, Tsunade and Jiraiya, who were drunk and asleep, were supported by Tatsuma and Minato to rest on the side. The restaurant provided thoughtful blankets and pillows while Tatsuma and Minato were counting the gifts.

Although most people chose to give two identical gifts, there were also some with different gifts, such as Sakumo Hatake, who gave them a scroll and an old knife.

When Minato heard Tatsuma's ...

Chapter 68: Last Minute Changes Are Never Appreciated

"Ikkaku, you're here too?"

"Sakumo?"

While grilling barbecue outside, Sakumo Hatake greeted a black-haired ninja named Umino Ikkaku. Ikkaku was a Jonin from Konoha, though not particularly famous among the Naruto fans. However, when it came to his son, he was well-known.

Umino Ikkaku's son was none other than Umino Iruka, one of the saviors and senseis of Naruto Uzumaki in the original story. However, he wasn't born yet since Umino Ikkaku had chosen to follow to the policy o...

Chapter 67: Jiraiya's Choice

"I'll be straight with you. Tatsuma and Minato are both brought up by you. You choose one first."

A few days later, Jiraiya returned from a mission and was invited by Tsunade. Upon hearing Tsunade's question, Jiraiya fell into contemplation. After a while, he spoke, "I'll take Tatsuma. Minato is easier to handle and more suitable for you, what do you think?"

"I don't want you to do what's best for me. Choose whoever you truly want to take as your disciple," Tsunade looked at Jirai...

Chapter 66: Sparks Between Two Countries

Yesterday, Orochimaru was swindled out of a large sum of money and was also dragged by Tsunade to demonstrate a considerable amount of Medical Ninjutsu. Orochimaru, feeling some mental phantom pain, arrived at the Senju clan's territory at half-past five in the morning on the second day.

However, at this moment, he furrowed his brow. Four children were currently engaged in short-distance shuttle running, followed by Ninja Tool Throwing in a state of oxygen deficiency. Orochimaru admired...

Chapter 65: The Unfortunate Orochimaru

"I have tested the two samples you brought, and unfortunately, there is no Kekkei Genkai that you might be expecting in both of them."

In a laboratory, Orochimaru handed two reports to Shimura Danzo. Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo frowned, took the reports with one hand, and flipped through them on the table.

The more Danzo read, the tighter his frown became, and a puzzled expression even appeared on his face. Orochimaru tidied up the equipment on the table and suddenly spoke: 2024-01-29 17:56:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 64: Can You Even Pay?

"Am I really a narrow-minded person at heart?"

Kushina lowered her head, recalling her biases against Tatsuma and Minato. Feeling a bit guilty, but she was touched on the back of her head by Mito, who said, "No one is without narrow-mindedness.

Just like Minato, his narrow-mindedness makes him prefer to see the bright side in everything, or Tatsuma, his narrow-mindedness makes him persistently focus on winning or losing. An open heart is not something ordinary people can possess."...

Chapter 63: Kushina's Bias Unveiled

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Within the Senju Clan's territory, Tatsuma formed seals and created four Shadow Clones. He looked at his Shadow Clones and said, "You go practice Chakra Nature Transformation, you focus on Ninjutsu, you study Sealing Jutsu, and you delve into Medical Ninjutsu."

The four Shadow Clones nodded and departed. Not far away, Minato also employed the same technique to "cheat," while Nawaki looked on with envy.

It had been nearly half a year since Tatsuma and Mi...

Chapter 62: New Training Schedule

"Ding~ Ding~ Ding~"

"Sis, how about we stop playing?"

Half an hour later, Nawaki looked at Tsunade, who was losing control after losing, and advised, while Tatsuma also spat out a mouthful of saliva.

Playing cards with Tsunade allowed him to quickly pick up talents, and Tsunade lived up to her nickname of "Big Fat Sheep." Tatsuma could usually pick up at least 4 points of talents like with his spar with Nawaki, but with Tsunade they range from 6 to 9 points.

Moreover, ...

Chapter 61: The Senju Clan Is Full of Fat Sheep!

Tsunade sighed as she covered her forehead. Although she had very little interaction with Tatsuma, she knew about his strong desire for victory. Two years ago, she witnessed Tatsuma getting injured for the sake of a final assessment.

However, she didn't expect that, after two years, Tatsuma remained the same. His personality had not changed at all.

Moreover, Tsunade cast a pitying glance at the back of her brother's head. Her brother had many good qualities, but he lacked talent a...

Chapter 60: I Never Cross Dress

"Minato, why are your eyes bruised? Who did this? I'll avenge you!"

The next day, nearing eight o'clock, Jiraiya looked at Minato with a black eye and cotton stuffed in his nose, expressing righteous indignation.

Even with a gentle personality like Minato's, upon hearing Jiraiya's words, he couldn't muster a smile. He even subtly rolled his eyes at this unreliable Jonin leading the team.

Jiraiya paid his reaction no mind, lowering his body and leaning towards Minato's ear, e...

Chapter 59: Mito's Amazing Seals

"Peng~"

As the smoke ascended and the sea breeze swept it away, dissolving the ethereal walls that confined the few individuals, they found themselves back on the rain-soaked streets of Awa. Jiraiya was engrossed in securing a scroll in his hands.

With the scroll tightly fastened, Jiraiya turned his attention to the bewildered Shigeru and inquired, "I'll wipe everyone's memories of this incident right here. You needn't fret about this affecting your future. The local fishermen won...

Chapter 58: Unique Beast With Unique Features...

Tatsuma's words struck a chord with Kincho, evoking a subtle sense of emotion. His once awkward movements began to ease, prompting a quizzical expression on Shigeru's face.

The memory of saving Kincho eluded Shigeru. It all started when Kincho approached him with a keen interest in learning the art of fishing. In a surprising turn of events, within a mere couple of days, Kincho outshone Shigeru in the skill of catching fish.

Recognizing Kincho's prowess, a suggestion surfaced - Ki...

Chapter 57: Men's Romance

Minato hadn't encountered that ninja beast previously, but piecing together information from Jiraiya and Shigeru's earlier conversation, along with his keen observations of Awa, he swiftly concluded that the individual lugging a basket of fish on his back was the disguised ninja beast.

In Awa, nobody ventured out to sea for fishing, except for this youthful figure burdened with two baskets filled with stones. If he wasn't the ninja beast aiding Shigeru in his "fishing" endeavors, then w...

Chapter 56: Genuine Intentions, Cruel Outcomes

Within the basket, a surprising revelation awaited – no fish, but rather, a collection of unmistakably flat stones. Tatsuma's expression betrayed a flicker of embarrassment, his confidence in the prowess of his Genjutsu Release shattered.

Unbeknownst to him, he had succumbed to a cunning Genjutsu, perceiving a stack of stones as succulent fish. Had it not been for Jiraiya's timely reminder, he might have unwittingly immersed himself further into the illusory depths.

"Let's go bu...

Chapter 55: Unsaid Rule In Accepting Private Commissions

Nestled along the coastline, where the Land of Fire meets the vast expanse of the Land of Whirlpools, lies a haven for fishermen known as Awa. Though not officially recognized as a village, its reputation echoes far and wide.

This is the destination of Jiraiya and his party. Since the destruction of Uzumaki Hidden Village, Awa has had fishermen going to the Uzumaki Country ruins to "hunt for treasure" from time to time.

During the final months of the fishing ban, it emerged as a c...

Chapter 54: Mission Details

Tatsuma's gaze was drawn to a woman with dark crimson hair, emitting an aura of profound dignity with every glance.

No words of introduction were necessary; Tatsuma recognized her instantly. She was none other than the wife of the First Hokage and the first Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Mito.

Observing the gravity etched on Uzumaki Mito's countenance, Tsunade instinctively recoiled, choosing silence over confrontation. Even Jiraiya, with a solemn nod, withheld his thoughts from vocalization...
