In Konoha: Starting Off by Slapping White Fang

In Konoha: Starting Off by Slapping White Fang Author: Black Blade White Fang

After transmigrating to the Naruto World and seeing through the growing corruption and darkness of Konoha's Elder Council, Gengetsu decided to withdraw from the struggle and live in seclusion in the mountains.

However, he did not slack off in his training. With the [Dimensional Evolution System], he continuously broke through his limits.

Then, twenty years later, a certain Fifty-Fifty nephew came looking for him, claiming that Gengetsu's cheap older brother had been acting strangely ever since a mission failure...

"Uncle... Dad has been a little off lately..."

Year 38 of Konoha. The Second Shinobi World War was in full swing.

Land of Fire, by a lakeside on the outskirts of Konoha.

A simple little wooden cabin stood there.

Beside it was a field planted with vegetables such as cabbages, tomatoes, and corn.

This was in the suburban area beyond Konoha's village walls. In the original story, this was where Naruto often caught fish to fill his stomach.

A boy around five or six years old, with silver spiky hair and a mask covering everything below the bridge of his nose,

walked up to the cabin's door and called out.

About half a minute later, the cabin door slowly opened.

A man in his late twenties emerged, with the same silver hair as the boy, though his was long and parted down the middle.

His aura was sharper and more imposing as well.

Dashing and heroic!

There was no better phrase to describe this man.

Provided... he was not wearing a farmer's straw hat.

"Fifty-Fifty, what brings you all the way out here?"

The man glanced down at the little brat, then picked up the hoe beside him and went back to work in the field.

"Uncle, my name is Kakashi..."

Kakashi rolled his eyes, utterly speechless.

Ever since he was born, he could count on one hand the number of times he had heard this uncle call him by his real name.

Fifty-Fifty.

That was the nickname his uncle had given him.

Hatake Gengetsu, twenty-eight years old, identity: Konoha genin.

He had attended the Ninja Academy with Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, the representative figures of Konoha's new generation.

He was also the younger brother, by five years, of Hatake Sakumo, the current second-strongest man in Konoha after the Hokage.

But it was hard to say whether Hatake Sakumo was truly weaker than the current Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi was still at his peak, he was nearing fifty and had no possibility of further breakthroughs.

In the years ahead, his strength would only decline rather than advance.

Hatake Sakumo, who had only just entered his thirties, still had room to grow.

Surpassing Hiruzen Sarutobi was highly possible.

But only a very small number of people, such as Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi, knew

just how terrifying Hatake Gengetsu was.

"Want to stay for a meal?"

After loosening the soil, Gengetsu dug out a cabbage and picked several tomatoes.

He casually washed them in the bucket beside him, then took some rice balls from the lunchbox behind him and tossed one to Kakashi.

"Uncle, now isn't the time to eat. Dad has recently—"

Fifty-Fifty—no, Kakashi—quickly told Gengetsu about the strange behavior his father, Hatake Sakumo, had displayed recently.

In short, ever since Hatake Sakumo returned from the battlefield last week,

his normally cheerful personality had become increasingly silent, even gloomy.

For more than a week, he had locked himself in his house without saying a word, giving Kakashi an ominous feeling.

That was why he had come here to ask his uncle for help.

"Could it be..."

Gengetsu frowned as he recalled that Kakashi should have enrolled in the Ninja Academy some time ago, right?

Judging by the timing, it seemed about right.

"I told him so many times not to be so thin-skinned. He hasn't improved at all."

Gengetsu took off the straw hat on his head, stood up, and strode toward Konoha's main gate.

Seeing this, Kakashi hurried after him.

However, after taking only two steps,

Gengetsu seemed to remember something and abruptly turned back.

He went inside and brought out... a sword.

Kakashi swallowed hard.

The ominous feeling in his heart instantly turned into a sense of crisis.

"It was all because of you that the mission completely failed! Otherwise, our war with Sunagakure could have ended already!!"

"You are a traitor to Konoha!"

"Do you know how many more people will die on the front lines because of your selfishness!?"

In front of the Hatake Clan home.

When Gengetsu and Kakashi arrived,

they happened to see five or six Leaf Ninjas pointing at Hatake Sakumo in front of the house and cursing him out.

Gengetsu examined the uniforms of those Zaun Ninjas and raised an eyebrow.

"From the Sarutobi Clan? Who's the one leading them?"

Gengetsu fixed his gaze on the man standing at the front, the one cursing Hatake Sakumo most viciously.

"It's... Sarutobi Shinnosuke. He seemed to be Dad's teammate during the previous mission."

Kakashi, still only a six-year-old kid, answered quietly.

"Oh, it's him."

Gengetsu chuckled and strode forward.

The next second, before anyone could react, Gengetsu slapped his own older brother across the face.

The crack was at least eighty decibels loud. Hatake Sakumo was sent spinning to the ground, and his left cheek immediately swelled up.

"Gen-Gengetsu?"

Seeing stars after the slap, Hatake Sakumo took several seconds to recover. When he finally recognized the person who had struck him, he spoke in disbelief.

"Dad! Are you all right?"

Kakashi, frozen in shock, suddenly came back to his senses. He rushed over to help his father up, then shouted at Gengetsu,

"Uncle! What are you doing?!"

I asked you to comfort my dad, not beat him up!

"Why didn't you talk back?"

Gengetsu looked down at Hatake Sakumo and asked.

Hatake Sakumo was left speechless for a moment, unsure how to answer.

"A bunch of trash can shit all over the head of a Kage-level ninja like you, and you don't even make a sound. Have you eaten too much shit?"

Gengetsu questioned him again.

"Bastard! You Eternal Genin, who gave you the nerve to say that!?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others behind him flew into a rage. As they spoke, they reached for Gengetsu's shoulder, intending to grab him and punch him.

My father is the Hokage. Who am I afraid of!?

Eternal Genin.

It was a term used to describe two Konoha ninjas. One was Might Duy, the thick-browed man who only knew taijutsu.

The other was Hatake Gengetsu, who had a powerful older brother yet remained a genin despite nearing thirty.

Swish—

In an instant, Gengetsu drew the sword at his waist.

Unlike his older brother White Fang, who specialized in Lightning Release and Hatake Style Swordsmanship,

the moment Gengetsu drew his blade, raging flames erupted from it.

Fire Style combined with swordsmanship was somewhat similar to the Uchiha's blade techniques.

Whoosh—

Raging, surging flames, combined with sword energy capable of cutting through anything,

erupted with power that did not pale in the slightest compared to his older brother White Fang.

Black flames!?

The blazing fire merged with the sword energy and shot into the sky, grazing the foreheads of Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others behind him.

BOOM!!!

The next moment, the entire mountainside behind Konoha exploded.

The stone visage of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was blasted to dust!

Black flames continued to burn all around.
