"Kaze Shimura!"
Sarutobi Nagare's roaring voice directly startled Tanzō and Hiruzen, who were having a conversation inside the room.
"That bastard Sarutobi Nagare!" Hiruzen's old face darkened. "As an elder brother, he doesn't even know how to give in to Kaze. I'll go teach him a lesson!"
With that, he immediately stood up and was about to walk outside.
"It's okay, Hiruzen." Tanzō grabbed Hiruzen and said indifferently, "Let the kids handle their own business among themselves."
He didn't know if this scene outside the door was instigated by Hiruzen, but it didn't matter. He could just take it as Hiruzen trying to warn him.
"I'll remember this score." Tanzō murmured in his heart.
That's right, Kaze's good habit of keeping accounts was learned from his sexy little sun.
"Well..." Hiruzen hesitated. "I'm worried that Sarutobi Nagare doesn't know the limits. What if Kaze gets bullied?"
"It's okay, Hiruzen." Tanzō lowered his eyelids, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
Although Kaze was only a Chunin on the surface, his strength was already comparable to that of an ordinary Jonin. As his father, Tanzō naturally knew this.
Did Hiruzen's son, who had just become a Tokubetsu Jonin, think he could bully Kaze?
Dream on! Kaze could beat Hiruzen's son up badly!
"Alright, Hiruzen, let's continue. I wasn't fully satisfied with our last interaction just now." Tanzō said with a smile.
"Well... okay." Seeing that Tanzō didn't care, Hiruzen didn't insist anymore. "Then let's follow your suggestion and continue."
Outside the house.
Asuma on the sofa burst into laughter, amused by his own brother getting beaten.
"Sarutobi Nagare roared angrily, gnashing his teeth."
He just wanted to push Kaze, but he never expected that Kaze would dare to fight back, and he even aimed right at my face, damn it!
"Bastard!" Sarutobi Nagare was blinded by anger and slapped Kaze without thinking.
Danger!
Seeing the approaching big palm, Kaze was extremely scared. "Wind Release: Separate Wind!"
Bang!
A wind field instantly formed. First, it sent Sarutobi Nagare's hand flying, and then it hit Sarutobi Nagare's face hard.
Plop.
Caught off guard, Sarutobi Nagare was directly knocked to the ground by the sudden impact.
"Hahaha! It's so funny that it's killing me!" Asuma on the sofa laughed even harder.
"Damn it! (Note: This is a transliteration of a Japanese exclamation 'Kakusoku' often used in anime to express annoyance)" Sarutobi Nagare's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was shaking. He was completely enraged.
This time, he was prepared for Kaze to fight back, but he never expected that the other party would use Ninjutsu instantly!
He, Sarutobi Nagare, the son of the Third Hokage!
Was beaten in the face by the son of his father's assistant, a kid two or three years younger than him!
And he was bloody beaten in the face twice!
"I... I didn't mean to, Brother Sarutobi Nagare. Are you okay?"
Looking at Sarutobi Nagare lying on the ground, who was eager to devour him, Kaze felt extremely wronged.
Really, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Bullshit! Do you really believe what you're saying?!"
Nagare stood up, pointed outside the house, and said to Kaze menacingly.
"Kaze Shimura, dare you come outside with me? Let's settle the score right now like real men!"
"Pfft, you're just a kid living under your father's glory."
A flicker of disdain crossed Kaze's eyes, and then he simply replied, "I dare not."
"You...!" Nagare's momentum faltered. He never expected Kaze to admit defeat so directly.
"What about me?"
Kaze glanced at Nagare sideways, with a slight curl on his lips. "Do you feel a great sense of accomplishment by bullying a kid younger than you?"
Damn it!
Nagare was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.
Me, bullying you? It was me who got slapped twice, damn it!
Sigh...
At the peak of his anger, Nagare calmed down instead. He walked up to Kaze and whispered.
"Kaze Shimura, don't think I don't know what underhanded tricks you and your father have been up to."
"You'd better know your place and think carefully about who gave your father and your Shimura clan their current status."
"In Konoha, it's still our Sarutobi family that calls the shots. You'd better learn to respect me from now on. Got it?"
Kaze laughed. "Brother Nagare, I don't understand what you're talking about. In our Konoha, isn't it the villagers who have the final say?"
"Good." Sarutobi Nagare gave Kaze a long, deep look. "There's plenty of time ahead. I hope you can still smile as brightly in the future."
After saying that, he ignored Kaze and went straight back to his room.
Kaze admitted that he was actually intimidated by Nagare's threat!
"Just in case, should I strike first and find a way to get rid of him?"
"It doesn't seem abnormal for an Anbu ninja to die on a mission..."
"Interesting, so interesting!" Kaze showed a strange smile as if he had thought of something.
This kid is highly dissatisfied with the Shimura clan. Perhaps in the original storyline, he was killed by his unscrupulous father.
Otherwise, as the eldest son of the Sarutobi family, not dying in the ninja war, how could he have died young so obscurely?
"I hope you'll stop here, Sarutobi Nagare."
"If you try to target me in the future, then I'll have to find a way to send you to your end."
"No one can get the better of me, Kaze, except Yukino and Ayako..."
When it was time for dinner, Biwa prepared a table of delicious dishes and invited everyone to come out and eat.
Hiruzen walked out of the room looking a bit tired. He was just about to ask Kaze if he had been bullied.
Then he turned his head and saw his son coming out of the room with a clear handprint on his face.
"..." The words on the tip of Hiruzen's tongue were instantly swallowed back.
He felt as if he had been set up by Tanzō, but he had no proof. He just felt so humiliated.
As the host, his son not only had a dispute with the guest, but also got slapped by a kid several years younger...
It was so embarrassing.
"Let's have dinner," Hiruzen said in a low voice. Then he sat down at the table and buried his head in eating the rice in the bowl.
Since Hiruzen, the initiator, was in low spirits, Tanzō didn't feel good about chatting with Biwa all the time, so the dinner ended in a hurry.
On the way home, Kaze whispered, "Dad, I got bullied. Why don't you beat up his dad for me?"
Tanzō sneered, "Bullied? I think it's more like you bullied that kid."
"Hehe." Kaze scratched his head. Then he said seriously, "Dad, I've got on the wrong side of that Nagare. Do I need to...?"
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one in Konoha dares to do anything to you, even if the other guy is from the Sarutobi clan," Tanzō said calmly.
"Damn, this sense of security is off the charts. Tanzō is so awesome!" Kaze thought.
"Alright, go home and rest early," Tanzō said. "Tomorrow, I have a mission for you. You need to go abroad."
"Bring honor to Konoha!"
