Gaunt, the Outcast

"Yes." Ron nodded.

"Remember to be careful," Lupin said. "Ron is frustrated because he can't represent the Weasley Clan and can only compete as the Hokage's son. He's looking to talk to a Weasley family player."

"He's planning to cause me trouble?" Ron understood instantly.

"He was spoiled by his teacher's wife," Lupin shrugged.

Ron in this world = Draco Malfoy

Ron immediately drew the equation in his mind.

"Is someone talking badly about me?"

Without a sound, the blond, blue-eyed boy appeared out of thin air behind Lupin.

"Flying Thunder God Technique?" Lupin instantly took off his shirt, revealing his fair upper body, and his hand turned into afterimages, bringing with it a burst of Chakra flames.

Even with Ron's dynamic vision, it was somewhat blurry.

(Even though they could see it with their eyes closed, the witches in the Wizarding World still instinctively widened their eyes—those abs, those curves.)

"Remus, clothes." The blond, blue-eyed boy grinned, a mischievous smile on his face.

With the boy's hint, Lupin found the mark: a vortex made of simple lines.

(Grindelwald narrowed his eyes. "A good idea, to create an imprint beforehand so that Apparition can be incorporated into combat. However, it's not suitable for traditional wizards. It's more suitable for melee combat. No, perhaps the spell itself could Apparition.")

("Is this the same principle behind the Avada Kedavra chain lightning in the Starry World?")

The boy noticed Ron's gaze. "The Flying Thunder God Technique's shape is purely based on the user's design; there's no mystery to it," he said, then extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Ron Weasley."

If you're Ron Weasley, then who am I?

Even though he already knew beforehand, Ron still subconsciously complained in his mind. After retracting the fangs from his tiger's mouth, he reached out and shook hands with them back. "Hello, I am Lance Weasley."

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

"Ouch!" Blonde Ron quickly withdrew his hand, his palm a bloody mess, the bone visible deep inside. "What did you do?"

Feeling the Corrosive Field that had been triggered, and the 'magic' that had merged into his body—which was very similar in nature to the one on his forehead but full of vitality— Ron raised an eyebrow. "I should be asking you what you're planning to do."

He also noticed that neither Yale nor Lupin seemed to care much about Ron the blond's injury.

Ron realized what was happening when he noticed that the blond Ron's hand had Heal Like New.

"Ron has the same [Self-Healing without Seals] as Godric," Lupin said, his gaze sweeping over the red-haired Ron. "Is this your mutated Bloodline Limit? Not only can it absorb Chakra like Nether Release, but it can also absorb flesh and blood. The most remarkable thing seems to be that it is triggered passively."

"Hey, Lupin," blond Ron waved his hand, which showed no signs of injury, "I was injured right in front of you, didn't you see?"

Lupin straightened his ninja headband, exposing his previously covered left eye to the air. His scarlet pupils, with three alluring pupils, darted around. "I've now barely managed to cultivate the Sage Body, so I can keep my eyes open at all times. It can see very clearly that you attacked first."

("Sharingan?" Sirius shook Lupin's body beside him. "You're also surnamed Gaunt in this world?")

(Lupin scoffed, "Look at the scars, it's obviously a transplant.")

"Tch~" Ron, who had just looked betrayed, instantly changed his expression. "Just as boring as my Hokage dad."

"Well then, see you next time, Lance Weasley."

In the last second after the sound faded, his figure also vanished into thin air.

("That's so rude!" Molly Weasley blushed slightly.)

(Although this Ron was completely different from her son, she still identified with him.)

Lupin and Yale were also somewhat embarrassed.

They clearly provoked others, but ended up making it seem like they were the ones who were bullied and suffered a loss.

Thinking of how Shanks Ron had been wandering outside and had finally returned to Konoha, only to leave such a bad impression, the awkwardness between the two was mixed with a touch of pity.

"Lupin! My dearest friend! My eternal rival!"

A voice broke the deadlock.

Ron noticed that Lupin's body stiffened for a moment.

The first thing that appeared after the rousing voice was a gleaming white tooth.

A man with Watermelon Head, thick eyebrows, wearing a green bodysuit and a ninja headband at his waist appeared beside them, pointing to himself with a thumbs-up.

Then he started touching Lupin inappropriately, and Lupin was like a rag doll helplessly at his mercy. "Why are you taking off your clothes? Are you injured somewhere?"

"No," Lupin said.

"That's good." The man with the Watermelon Head waved his right hand, which was still giving a thumbs-up, with a smile that revealed his perfect eight teeth. "Then let's have our long-awaited showdown."

"Why?" Lupin asked.

"It's over," Yale said.

Ron was a little confused at first, but then he understood.

The man with the Watermelon Head became instantly excited, jumping up and down, and saying things like in a voice that sounded somewhat like a wronged woman, "You still say why?" "Bet on my youth!" "You and I are eternal rivals!" "More than a hundred battles!" "Today is just another battle!" "A fierce duel!" and so on.

(Sirius is sweating profusely. "Could this guy be me? No, I only do this to James.")

"Are they going to fight?" Ron nudged Yale with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

Before Yale could answer, Ron saw the two of them start wiggling their hips and chanting things like "rock, paper, scissors" and "don't use the Sharingan."

"No, they are true friends." Yale's answer came belatedly.

The man with the Watermelon Head suddenly stopped what he was doing, as if struck by lightning. He turned to Kakashi beside him like a frozen frame in an animation. "You told them about the little acorns?"

(Despite being in different locations, Dumbledore and Grindelwald instantly thought of each other and simultaneously understood the meaning of the acorn.)

Lupin stumbled, nearly falling flat on his face, and could no longer remain calm. "Hey, hey, hey, that's not what I mean by 'knowing each other inside and out'! I'm not single, Nymphadora Tonks is the best proof!"

(It seems Lupin should have stayed with Nymphadora Tonks.)

(Wrong.)

(Lupin was reminded again of Lupin in the Novel Harry world, where Nymphadora Tonks and Basil Granger were together.)

Then he loudly complained to the man with the Watermelon Head hairstyle, "Who among us actually likes watching Make-Out Paradise?!"

The man with the Watermelon Head instantly regained his energy and even resumed his previous pose, his white teeth Winky in the sunlight. "Of course it's you, my eternal rival."

(Dumbledore wiped his eyes. "What a wonderful friendship.")

("That's definitely not me!" Sirius said to Lupin. "You know me, I'm heterosexual.")

"Youth is not something to be taken lightly! I didn't even realize it until now. I'm definitely going to do 100 handstands on Konoha leaves later!" The Watermelon Head man noticed Ron. "Are you a member of the Weasley Clan?"

"Lance Weasley," Ron said.

"The proud blue beast of Konoha, Might Guy!" The Watermelon Head man made another exaggerated gesture.

(Sirius finally felt relieved.)

"A Might Guy?" Ron asked in surprise.

Kai shook his head. "No, it's about passionate, strong guys, just like youth." He suddenly twitched his nostrils. "The taste of youth, it must be Li calling me."

His figure vanished instantly.

However, the sound of the wind it created confirms that this was purely physical high-speed movement.

Unlike the blond Ron who teleported away, Lupin appeared by leaping through the air.

Ron was only surprised for a moment, because Lupin and Kay's interaction reminded him of a name, a name he should have asked from the beginning.

"Harry Potter. I've heard of that name. He's also said to be a powerful ninja."

(Idiot, aren't you afraid of being exposed?)

(Harry sighed, and in the Rune Card World, he instinctively put his arm around Roan.)

"I only know this surname. The Sand Clan of the Wind Country." Yale shook his head.

Lupin only recalled for a moment, "The son of the Fourth Kazekage."

"The Wind Country?" Ron was first surprised, then felt sympathy.

Ron the blond man, who sympathizes with the world.

No wonder he has such a bad temper; it turns out he lost Harry, his destined friend.

On the other side, the gates of Konoha.

"The Wind Country?"

A Konoha ninja with long black hair, a bandage across his nose and cheeks, and a neatly trimmed mustache took the pass.

Another Konoha ninja with long brown hair, wearing a ninja hat and with his right eye covered by his hair, read out the names, "Harry Potter, Erik Lehnsherr, Corn Potter, Petunia Potter, Rubeus Hagrid, you only sent five people from the Wind Country?"

(Sirius chimed in, clearly disappointed that he hadn't seen the Fourth Kazekage, James Potter of this world.)

(In the afterlife, James Potter's eyes are glued to his daughter in this world, completely forgetting his earlier complaints about her name being Petunia and her blonde hair.)

(Hagrid was somewhat disappointed. Not only was he short, but his attire was also so unconventional—a white cloth was wrapped around his head, his left cheek was covered with a white cloth, and there were two red marks painted on his right cheek.)

(And why was he in the Wind Country, and not in the Land of Fire where Dumbledore was?)

"Lord Kazekage is busy with official business," Rubeus replied.

("As expected of James. Diligent and responsible." Sirius seemed to want to shower this complete stranger, James, with every positive adjective he could think of. In the darkest corner of his heart, his greatest satisfaction was that Lily was dead, but James was still alive.)

(Snape, on the other hand, thought the complete opposite of Sirius. If it weren't for Lily being there, he would have racked his brains to come up with the most vicious curse words in the world, because Lily was dead, and that bastard James Potter was still alive.)

Magneto noticed that both Kang and Harry subconsciously curled their lip in disdain.

He kept this detail in mind.

Meanwhile, the Land of Earth's Iwagakure, who had already entered the Land of Fire, were on Susan's side.

The Third Tsuchikage Moody, finally revealed the news that the demon was sealed away in the Land of Demons.

"Of the four existing kingdoms, only we border the Land of Demons."

"The ninjas of the Land of Earth often see it more clearly."

"A gigantic, vertical Faceless Eye, with red flames around its edges and a pupil that is as dark as a bottomless void."

"We have several names for it."

"You-Know-Who, the Dark Lord, the Faceless Eye, the Nameless One the One Without a Name, the Unnamed Enemy, the Shadow."

(Voldemort felt the sense of déjà vu growing stronger; wasn't that me?)

(Voldemort Gaunt, Tom Gaunt, Marvolo Gaunt, plus Riddle Gaunt, that's the complete him.)

"Mentioning it also inevitably leads to mentioning another person."

"Ninja World Asura Rovo Gant".

"He and Godric Gryffindor are known as the legendary ninjas."

(Marvolo Gaunt, a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, "Oh, me and Gryffindor?")

"He and Gryffindor Ultimate Liberation the Warring States Period where everyone was fighting their own battles, united the Land of Fire into a cohesive unit, and established the system of Ninja Village. Since then, humanity has finally succeeded in keeping the dead out of its base."

"With the opportunity to recuperate, the human base began to be filled with laughter and joy. The dark history was erased, and the cognitive pollution that everyone had was reduced to something that only a select few ninjas possessed."

"We even began to have the capacity to send ninjas to the Land of Demons to help the priestess seal them."

"The Second Hokage, Gorshak Gryffindor, established the Ninja Academy and the Chunin Exams system to cultivate talent. He invented Life-Enhancing Ninjutsu to help people live and farm, and promoted it throughout the entire ninja world."

("Is this Miranda Goshak?" Many wizards thought of her.)

(Her book, "The Book of Spells," is a textbook in many magic schools around the world and has been translated into 72 different languages, including Gobbledegook and Mermaid Language.)

"Humans no longer need to rely on the land in the ruins of the Three Sacred Lands to grow food."

"Pieces of dead land have been revitalized and turned into fertile soil."

"Everything is moving in a positive direction."

"The priestess even said that with the help of the Ninja God, the shadow covering the Ninja Continent will be gone forever."

"But that man, that man..." The Third Tsuchikage's expression began to turn ferocious, "He destroyed all of this. He actually betrayed humanity and tried to kill the Ninja God. Just because the Ninja God can serve as the Guardian Shinobi, but he cannot."

——

Outside Konoha Village.

Looking towards Konoha Village in the distance, and the massive Hokage Rock.

With only his eerie green eyes and dark eye Akatsuki North Star visible, Manny Akatsuki, gazing at the Godric Gryffindor statue, sighed, "I still remember his kindness."

"Forgive me even after I committed a foolish sin, throwing a shuriken at him from 800 meters away in an attempt to assassinate him."

"Zero Burial, I don't understand why Marvolo didn't choose to be honest and tell him everything."

Before Tom could answer, the gray-haired man with the slicked-back hair, Akatsuki Third Machine, Fenrir, spoke up, "Hokuto, you said you once fought the Ninja God to a standstill, is this what you mean by a standstill?"

"Yes." Manny was almost losing his humanity, nodded.

"Because nobody believed Gaunt's words." Zero Burial said with deep humiliation, "After that Gaunt who didn't have an English name captured the Nine Tailed Beasts and caused the apocalypse, Gaunt was always discriminated against and ostracized. Even Marvolo Gaunt was no exception."
