Ryūzetsu and Muku followed as well.
Ryou was a bit puzzled: "Why did you two come too?"
Ryūzetsu said, "Sensei, we are also Kusagakure Shinobi, and we want to see what the opening of the legendary Box of Ultimate Bliss looks like."
"Alright, I'll take you along!"
Ryou nodded, grabbed Ryūzetsu and Muku, and tossed them onto the Seven-Tails' head.
"Woof! Woof!"
The Seven-Tails extended its antennae, wanting to be affectionate with Ryou, but its body was too large; as soon as it moved, it knocked Ryou over.
The people of Kusagakure watched in extreme amazement. Yesterday, the Seven-Tails was still trying to kill Ryou, but today it was already barking like a big dog.
The Uchiha's Sharingan is truly too evil.
The Kusagakure people now tucked away their little schemes. If they made Ryou unhappy, he would brainwash them.
Before long, Ryou stood on the Seven-Tails' head and tapped it.
The Seven-Tails flapped its three pairs of wings, and the massive creature immediately took to the sky.
Tsunade appeared in the square holding a kitchen knife, pointing at Ryou in the sky: "Uchiha Ryou, don't you dare come back! If you do, see if I don't hack you to death!"
Ryou stood with hands on his hips in the air, looking down at Tsunade: "Tsunade, don't be so arrogant. I'm just humoring you, understand?"
"Bastard!"
Tsunade used her Monster Strength to throw the knife in her hand. The knife, launched with an explosion of strength, looked like a streak of silver flying at high speed.
Ryou reached out, firmly attracting the flying knife, and then melted it into an iron block.
"Magnet Release!"
Tsunade and the Kusagakure Shinobi were all extremely surprised. Ryou had actually mastered even Sunagakure's Secret Technique, Magnet Release.
Ryou tossed the iron block to Candy, then fed a bit of chakra to Shukaku inside his body.
"Shukaku, well done!"
"Master, it is only my duty."
Ryou pointed at Tsunade and said, "Tsunade, don't think I can't handle you!"
Ryou formed a hand seal with his right hand. Tsunade's eyes suddenly rolled back, and her whole body slumped down involuntarily.
"You bastard!"
Ryou smiled, then had the Seven-Tails fly toward Hozuki Castle at full speed, leaving only a faint shadow for Tsunade.
...
Konoha, the Five Kage Summit is held today!
Chiyo, the new Kazekage Pakura, Baki, Yashamaru, and several other Sunagakure Shinobi flew to Konoha via specially trained Shinobi Eagles.
Because Konoha Village had a barrier and flying into it would be treated as an enemy act, Chiyo had the Shinobi Eagles land in front of Konoha's main gate.
The Konoha Shinobi on patrol gathered around. The Kakashi trio was also among them, acting as envoys to receive these noble guests from afar.
Baki and Yashamaru stepped forward to negotiate with Kakashi and the others.
Upon learning that it was Sunagakure's Kazekage delegation, Kakashi and the others lowered their guard.
Pakura looked at the crowd surging through the Konoha gate like a tide and was instantly amazed: "Is this Konoha, the number one Shinobi Village of the Five Great Nations?"
"Come to think of it, this is my first time in Konoha."
Who here isn't?
Even Chiyo was visiting Konoha for the first time.
Sunagakure and Konoha were opponents in the previous Shinobi World Wars. Their alliance only formed after the Third Great Shinobi War, when Sunagakure was beaten down by Konoha.
Before this, the Chunin Exams were held independently or with small allied nations; the great nations had never cooperated.
Chiyo saw Konoha's iconic three faces on the Hokage Rock through the gate and remarked with some emotion, "As expected of the number one Shinobi Village in the Shinobi World, it truly is grand."
Chiyo looked down and suddenly saw a figure with silver-white hair. At first glance, she thought it was the White Fang.
But the White Fang wouldn't be this young; it was Kakashi.
But what's the difference?
A chilling killing intent erupted from Chiyo's body, focusing on Kakashi.
"There's no mistake. This appearance... he's the child of the White Fang. He's a carbon copy of him!"
"Child of the White Fang, give me your life!"
Chiyo jumped down, intent on killing Kakashi to avenge her son and daughter-in-law.
Kakashi was listlessly receiving the Sunagakure people while reading an adult book.
He didn't want to come, but as a Jonin of the Village now, he had to follow the leadership's arrangements.
While he was slacking off, he suddenly heard a shout, and then a beautiful female Shinobi with light purple hair jumped down, wielding a Kunai and ready to fight Kakashi to the death.
"Lady Chiyo, don't—"
The Sunagakure people hurriedly tried to stop her.
But Chiyo was very fast; after regaining her youth, her Shinobi stats had returned to their peak. Before Kakashi could react, Chiyo's Kunai was about to stab him.
At the critical moment, a flash of white slash flickered from the shadows. Chiyo flipped to dodge it and then watched the blade light fly into the sky.
This white blade—White Fang. It's definitely the White Fang. That guy isn't dead!
Chiyo searched through the crowd, carefully looking for the White Fang's figure.
"Hmph, White Fang, if you don't come out, I'll kill your child!"
Suddenly, a burst of chakra erupted in the distant forest, seemingly summoning Chiyo.
Chiyo sneered: "Then let's settle this today!"
Chiyo chased after that chakra.
The Konoha Shinobi and Sunagakure Shinobi were all a bit dazed. Baki got off the Shinobi Eagle and chased after Chiyo.
Kakashi stood there, recalling the white light that had just saved him. It felt familiar. There was no mistake; that was his father's blade light.
Could it be—
Rin ran over and checked Kakashi's body.
Obito looked at Kakashi with some confusion: "Kakashi, what's going on? Did you offend that beautiful Sunagakure lady just now?"
Kakashi shook his head: "No, I don't even know her, okay?"
Pakura jumped off the Shinobi Eagle and looked at the silver-haired Kakashi, saying, "You're called Kakashi Hatake, right?"
Kakashi and Obito looked at the sexy Pakura and their faces immediately turned red. Pakura's backless outfit was a 100% critical hit for youngsters like them.
Kakashi nodded: "Yes, that's right. I am Kakashi Hatake."
Pakura realized: "Then that's it. Your father, White Fang, killed Granny Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law during a mission."
"So Granny Chiyo recognized you as White Fang's child at first glance and wants revenge!"
Kakashi rubbed his head, feeling like he was caught in an undeserved disaster: "My dad was the one who killed them, why come for revenge against me?"
Obito patted Kakashi on the shoulder: "Haven't you heard the saying 'the son pays the father's debt'?"
"Senior White Fang was truly too much, killing someone's son and daughter-in-law like that?"
"Wait—you said that beautiful female Shinobi just now was Granny Chiyo?"
Obito looked at Pakura in shock, and Kakashi also realized.
Chiyo is from the same era as the Third Hokage and the others, how could she be so young?
Pakura nodded. It was actually quite annoying; after Ryou performed a technique on her, Chiyo had become even younger than Pakura.
Next time Pakura saw Ryou, she would also have him make her young.
Pakura still covered for Chiyo: "This is Granny Chiyo's technique; she uses chakra to keep herself in a youthful state."
Obito and Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief. They almost thought she was some kind of old monster.
