Chapter 37: Previous Story: Completed // New Beginning

Kakashi didn't come in the end. After Sasuke and Naruto got out of school, Shingen took them to Ichiraku Ramen.

"Uncle, give me three bowls of ramen." Shingon said to Uncle Ichiraku.

"Okay." Uncle Ichiraku agreed, quickly put the noodles into the pot, then scooped out two bowls and placed them in front of Shingon and Naruto.

Naruto glanced at Sasuke subconsciously. He had heard a lot of rumors about Uchiha in the village some time ago. Thinking of how Sasuke had been quiet and silent in school recently, he raised his hand and pushed the ramen in front of him to Sasuke's side...

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked inexplicably.

"I..." Naruto also did it subconsciously. When asked by Sasuke, he blushed and said, "I'm not hungry yet!"

Shingon glanced at Naruto who looked awkward, pushed his ramen to him, smiled and said, "You two can eat first."

"Thank you, Shingo-nii…" Naruto said as he buried his face in the noodles.

Sasuke looked at the ramen that Naruto pushed towards him, paused, and then picked up the chopsticks.

Soon, Uncle Ichiraku brought out the third bowl of ramen and placed it in front of Shingon.

Shingen looked at the fragrant ramen in front of him and couldn't help but take a breath. During his long time in Konoha, his favorite ramen was still Ichiraku Ramen.

Ichiraku Ramen tastes like the farm meals he ate in Honghua Village, and it has a human touch that cannot be brought out by seasonings.

After eating ramen, on the way back, Shingon looked at Naruto. Before leaving, he also wanted to treat the Ten-Tails to another meal. Although he had already eaten up the chakra of all the nine tailed beasts with the Ten-Tails, he had consumed some chakra when sending Shisui to the moon before, so he wanted to ask Kurama for some more chakra. After all, Kurama had the most tails and seemed to have the most chakra.

However, since their last separation, no Nine-Tails Chakra has leaked out of Naruto's body anymore, so ordinary tracking methods are not effective, so he can only use the Sharingan.

But Itachi once said that his Sharingan was very special and it was best not to show it in front of outsiders.

Shingen looked into Naruto's clear blue eyes, he felt that Naruto was not an outsider. After all, in the whole Konoha, only Naruto and Sasuke inherited his mouth-to-mouth skills, and both were his direct disciples.

"Naruto, Brother Zhenyan wants to see Xiaojiu again. Can you keep it a secret for Brother Zhenyan this time?" Zhenyan asked.

"Yeah." Naruto naturally agreed, but soon he became distressed, "But Xiaojiu hasn't shown up for a long time."

"It's okay, Brother Zhenyan has a way." Zhenyan said, blinking his eyes.

"What is Xiaojiu?" Sasuke couldn't help but interrupt.

"It's a giant fox," Shingen explained, "Sasuke, do you want to come and see it?"

Xiao Jiu? A giant fox? Sasuke quickly thought of the rumors about demon foxes in the ninja school, and he subconsciously glanced in Naruto's direction.

Naruto also wanted to know what Sasuke thought about the rumors, so he happened to look at Sasuke. Their eyes met in mid-air, and after each of them was stunned for a moment, they turned away at the same time with a sour face.

"No, I'm going to practice." Sasuke said this and went straight to the training ground.

Looking at Sasuke's leaving back, Shingen couldn't help but sigh. He had realized that whenever Naruto and Sasuke bumped into each other, neither of them would give in, and each was more awkward than the other.

After Sasuke left, Shingon took Naruto home and directly used the power of the Sharingan to enter the Nine-Tails' sealed space.

"Xiaojiu, nice to see you again." Zhenyan greeted Jiu Lama whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

When Kurama heard the true words, the fox became furious. It didn't understand how it had allowed this evil star to get in when it hadn't leaked any chakra at all.

Soon Jiu Lama knew why, because he saw Mantra's eyes.

"Evil Uchiha brat." Kurama suddenly spoke, and Shinyan's eyes reminded him of some bad memories.

Zhenyan could not help but be stunned. He stared at the big fox inside the door and was determined to make things clear with Jiu Lama today: "Xiao Jiu, have you ever heard that you should not do to others what you do not want others to do to you?"

"Before, someone called you a demon fox, and Naruto and I cleared the air for you. Now you call me an evil Uchiha. What's the difference between you and those people who spread rumors without knowing the truth?"

Jiu Lama: “…………”

"Xiao Jiu, you should apologize to Brother Zhenyan." Naruto followed, he also felt that Jiu Lama was wrong.

Jiu Lama: “…………”

Jiu Lama knew that he had spoken out of turn, but his arrogant character prevented him from bowing his head and apologizing. Moreover, he had not forgiven Shingen for stealing his chakra before, so why should he apologize? At most, they owed each other nothing...

The more Kurama thought about it, the more he believed it was the case. He twisted his body, with his tail facing outward and his head facing inward, as if he was refusing to communicate. Even when Shingon released the A Li again to pull at his chakra, he didn't react...

Zhenyan looked at the awkward big fox and said to Mingren before leaving: "Mingren, please spend more time talking to Xiaojiu when you have time."

"Yeah." Naruto nodded in agreement.

Zhenyan thought for a moment and said, "You can let Xiaojiu practice mouth-to-mouth combat with you."

This time, before Naruto agreed, Kurama got angry and said he wanted to move if possible! !

...

After finishing what needed to be done and settling the tasks, Zhenyan entered the time point of the first main task.

But the time he came here this time seemed a little wrong. Zhenyan felt that he might be dreaming because an old man with his legs crossed was floating in front of him.

"Master, who are you? Why are you here?" Zhenyan asked.

"Ahem, I am the Sage of Six Paths." The old man introduced himself with a dignified and majestic look, and then said, "Young man, do you know what the consequences will be if all the tailed beasts' chakras are gathered together?"

Zhenyan was stunned for a moment. He looked at the old man in front of him and confirmed, "Are you the Sage of Six Paths?"

"It's me." The Six Paths Sage stroked his long beard. The reason why he appeared in front of Mangon was because Mangon not only possessed the genes of Uchiha and Senju, but also became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and at the same time collected the chakra of the nine tailed beasts.

If Mango continues to collect chakra, then one day, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed by him and Hamura, will be resurrected again. Therefore, in order to stop Mango, the Six Paths Sage appeared, hoping that Mango would stop collecting the tailed beast's chakra.

When Zhenyan got a positive answer, his eyes lit up: "Uncle, I didn't expect to see you again. Did you write an IOU for taking Xiaoshi's chakra away?"

Six Paths Sage: “…………”

"If you didn't fight, would you mind giving me another one?" Shingon felt that the IOU was very necessary. Although his eyes had been upgraded and he could easily control the Tailed Beast, he still hoped that the Tailed Beast could be more self-aware and not act like a robber every time.

Six Paths Sage: “…………”

"Young man, do you know why I split the chakra of the Ten Tails?" The Sage of Six Paths once founded the Shinobi Sect himself, accepted countless disciples, and passed on the chakra inherited from Kaguya Otsutsuki. He believed that he was very accurate in judging people. He could also see that Mangon's eyes were clear and he had no evil thoughts, and this was why he was willing to patiently guide Mangon.

"Why?" Shingon asked. At first he only heard from Hei Zetsu that the Ten-Tails was divided into nine parts, but he really didn't know the reason.

"The power of the Ten-Tails is too strong. After my mother was sealed, it has been out of control. If it is not controlled, I am afraid that all living things will be reduced to charcoal." The Six Paths Sage divided the Ten-Tails into nine tailed beasts for the sake of future generations.

Zhenyan stroked his chin and thought for a while, then looked at the Six Paths Sage and asked, "Then why don't you let the grandmother take care of Xiao Shi?"

Six Paths Sage: “…………”

Shinon thinks that there is nothing wrong with her idea. Since the Ten-Tails got out of control because Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was sealed, wouldn't it be enough to resurrect Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and let him continue to take care of the Ten-Tails?

Zhenyan once again strengthened his determination to resurrect his grandmother.

"Mother..."

Before the Sage of Six Paths could finish his words, his shadow flashed and he disappeared in front of Zhenyan's eyes. At this moment, a very strong electric current noise echoed in Zhenyan's mind, which immediately brought him back to reality...

Zhenyan frowned and held her forehead, trying to communicate with the system: [System, is that you? ]

【……%￥&#￥%】

【System?】 Zhenyan tried to call again, 【Are you short-circuited?】

【! #%host...￥%host...】The system's voice was trembling and mixed with garbled characters.

[Hey, I'm here.] Zhenyan replied, and then asked, [System, are you okay?]

[Deviation...&*Rate...&*#8...]

[8? 8%?] Zhenyan quickly comforted the system, [It’s okay, just tell me the content of this main mission and I’ll handle it.]

【0%……】

【???】Zhenyan was still wondering what "0%" meant. Soon he connected with the system and found that the system said neither 8% nor 0%, but 80%...

Mantra: […………]

[Tong, didn't we just get here? Why is the deviation rate so high?] Zhenyan was also shocked by this number, [Is there a problem with the transmission time?]

[Co-founder, please calm down before you speak.] Zhenyan was afraid that the system would give him garbled code again, so he tried to comfort him, [We still have 20% space, so we can fix it in time.]

Inspiration system: […………]

[Tell me the main quest first.] The truth-telling system slowed down and asked.

[Wuwuwuwa… The deviation rate of the main quest is 80%…] The inspiration system has collapsed. The deviation rate is as high as 80% at the beginning of the first main quest. It feels that there is no hope for it anymore…

[System.] Zhenyan's voice was still very steady, and he repeated what he had just said, [Tell me the content of the main mission.]

[……] Perhaps it was affected by the voice of the truth, the spiritual system sobbed and finally said the first main mission, [Main Mission 1: The Seventh Team's Wave Country Mission.]

[Which class is Team 7? And where is the Land of Waves?] Zhenyan guided the system, allowing the system to first introduce the situation at the time of this mission.

The first main storyline mission is also where the comic begins. At this point in time, Naruto and Sasuke graduated from the Ninja Academy and were assigned to Team 7, led by Kakashi.

After Naruto becomes a ninja, he will have a mission to the Land of Waves. During this mission, the manga author wants to arrange an experience that will not only show the ability of Naruto as the protagonist, but also allow the protagonist to grow and show the friendship of the ninja team. If necessary, he will also experience a life-and-death situation to increase the excitement of the plot...

There is a saying that goes, the one who can best highlight the strength of the protagonist is not the protagonist's teammates, but the protagonist's opponents. The comic author wants the protagonist to experience a rich and colorful experience, so he must have a very good opponent. But the problem also appears here. The comic author's imagination loses inspiration here. In other words, there is no one in the Land of Waves who can be the protagonist's opponent...

After listening to the system, Zhenyan quickly came up with a solution. He said, "Let me arrange it."

According to Zhenyan's experience of reading hot-blooded comics, what the comic book author wants is nothing more than to give the protagonist a strong opponent, who must first beat the protagonist to a pulp and then allow the protagonist to fight back.

Naruto and Sasuke are both in Team 7. To be honest, Shingon would be worried if a stranger were to fight with Naruto and Sasuke, so it would be better to let him arrange it. At least the people he arranges know the seriousness of the matter and will not really kill them.

[Co-founder, do you remember what I told you before, 'Money makes the world go round?'] Zhenyan said to the system, [I will hire two people to complete the task right now to ensure that the comic author's ideas are clear.]

Perhaps because Zhenyan's tone was too certain, the spiritual system regained a little hope: [Is it okay? ]

Mantra: [Just try it and you will know. ]

Shingon thought about it and decided that if he wanted to find such an opponent for Team 7, he had to first exclude the ninjas of Konoha, because people from the same village would not fight against people from the same village. Besides the ninjas of Konoha, the ninjas he knew best were those in the Akatsuki organization.

However, the Hidden Rain Village where the Akatsuki organization is located is a bit far from Konoha, so he might as well choose someone nearby. Shinon thought of Zabuza and Haku who lived outside the village. Zabuza and Haku were not in the Konoha organization and were not considered Konoha ninjas, but they were also very suitable candidates.

With a goal in mind, Shingon immediately left the village to look for Zabuza and Haku. After meeting the two, he said bluntly, "This is what I mean. I have two younger brothers. They have graduated from the Ninja School."

"So, I would like you and Bai to come out and let my two younger brothers know the dangers of the ninja world, so that they will not suffer losses at the hands of others in the future."

Demon Zabuza: "???"!
