Yunlong gazed at the white-haired man in delight.
A Rare Talent!
Yup, the kind of person Yunlong needed on his side badly.
Sure, Yunlong has created a brand new wave of transformed Spirit Beasts back in the Land of Spring, but could they compare to a legend himself, Konoha's White Fang?
In the story, Hatake Sakumo led his squad to battle the Sunagakure's army with some people and killed their elite members with his tanto, gaining victory for Konoha and the title of White Fang.
Unfortunately, this once-in-thousand-year-old genius was 'dirtily' played by his own village.
His life went differently than the Namikaze Minato, though they are at the same level of genius.
Yunlong didn't know how it happened, but Sakumo failed a mission, which led him to be scorned by the village and his squad. He didn't understand the logic because a man of his caliber wouldn't fail so readily.
A dirty hand must have played in the shadows and also made Sakumo depressed enough to commit suicide.
Yunlong doesn't have to guess.
He had the White Feng himself to tell the story.
"White Fang?" Gu Yuena tilted her head. She gazed at Sakumo curiously because it was rare for Yunlong to admire someone.
Kaguya similarly stared at Sakumo but wasn't interested in his mysterious backstory. She's coming here for her son, after all.
But then her body suddenly froze. Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om
"A-Aino..." Kaguya's blue eyes locked on the black-haired woman in a white-red yukata.
Although a thousand years have passed, Kaguya will never forget her loyal female servant, who died in the pursuit of Yunlong's incarnation, Tenji.
The female servant died after getting shot by fiery arrows, buying enough time for Kaguya to run and eat the Divine Fruit.
The same woman with a similar face and aura appeared before Kaguya now, married to a man called White Fang.
'Aino. She must have gotten reincarnated as well.' Kaguya's gaze becomes warm as the female servant is one of the closest people she knew at the time.
In fact, Kaguya trusted Aino enough to stand by her side every day.
"Uh... Do I know you?" Sakumo questioned wryly. He couldn't remember ever meeting Yunlong in his life.
Yunlong shook his head and smiled, "No."
"We are men from different eras."
"But I suppose you can think of me as your son's acquaintance."
"Kakashi? You know Kakashi!" The black-haired woman's eyes lit up.
"How is he right now?"
"My little, handsome son."
"Have he married?"
Yunlong coughed, "As far as I know, Kakashi is still single today."
"He has been doing good, though."
"He has become the Konoha's Sixth Hokage."
Sakumo's eyes widened in shock, "Hokage... "
"My son actually became a Hokage."
"Hah. How ironic."
"What do you mean by ironic?" Yunlong cast an intrigued look.
Sakumo scratched his neck and pondered before saying, "I'm dead, so it's fine to tell you the story anyway."
"Follow me."
"Let's talk at my house."
"Airi, it seems our trekking time is cut short." He gave his wife a weak smile.
"You're quite a romantic man." Gu Yuena commented.
Sakumo lowered his cup, "Hehe, I'm proud to be one."
"But then I learned a lesson the hard way."
"Danzo, the leader of Root, threatened me with Konoha's laws and even dared to put my son's life on the line."
"I pointed my blade at him, swearing that if he dares to touch a hair on my son's head, he won't see the sun tomorrow."
"The Third Hokage arrived at that time, pleading for..."
"Danzo." Yunlong sighed helplessly. That indecisive fellow is senile as fuck.
Sakumo laughed, "Well, well, well..."
"It seems you understand this well."
Yunlong's mouth twitched, "Danzo caused so much trouble for Konoha, no world, even after his death."
Sakumo placed his cup on the table and continued, "I have seen that coming miles away."
"Instead of punishing Danzo for killing my dear wife, the Third Hokage punished me for misconduct and wrong use of power."
"However, Third Hokage didn't dare to kill me, though he was stronger. The war was intense at the time."
"If he killed me, the Konoha would lose the White Fang."
"So, they numbered my days until the war finished..."
"Mission after mission."
"Dancing on their palms with my life on the line."
"They finally decided to end my term."
"They sent me to a death mission, which was an agreement between Konoha and Iwa..."
"But I crawled from hell." Sakumo smiled faintly. "I saved my comrades to see their faces morphed into pale fright."
"After returning to Konoha, I made a binding deal with Third Hokage."
"If Danzo kills me, I want Kakashi to be safe and not become a Hokage..."
"Not long after, Danzo poisoned and ambushed me. People thought it was suicide, but no. It's just a fabricated story to make my reputation worse."
"The dead couldn't keep their promise. Oh, well, my son is the Sixth Hokage."
Yunlong blew his hot tea and fixed Sakumo's words, "Kakashi was the Sixth Hokage."
"Seventh Hokage is currently leading Konoha."
"His name is Uzumaki Naruto, your son's student and the son of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina."
"Minato's son? Uzumaki? HAHAHA~!" Sakumo laughed joyfully.
Even Airi laughed, "Karma really bites Konoha back."
"They abandoned Uzushio, and many years later, Uzumaki's descendants took the throne."
"Wonderful." She clapped her hand.
Yunlong stared at their happiness and suddenly said, "Sakumo-san..."
"Airi-san."
"Do you want a second chance at life?"
Sakumo and Airi gazed at Yunlong in confusion.
"Second..." Sakumo.
"Chance?" Airi.
Yunlong nodded, "I can revive you to the world of living."
"However, there is a catch."
"You must serve me as subordinates."
"What do you think?" He flashed a friendly smile at them.
