Haori's final act against the Seven-Tails in the battle could be seen as a finishing blow to an 18th-level disabled person. The reason for doing it was to prevent it from attacking again…

It's a bit far-fetched. Needless to say, the credibility of this is debatable. Anyone with a little bit of sense can see that his actions were aimed at "killing" rather than "injuring." But even so, what else could Takigakure do?

They could only question the existence of basic trust between people, but they couldn't blame Haori for killing the tailed beast.

Faced with this blatant act of poaching, Takigakure was powerless to refute it. Because everyone knows that the law of the jungle is the basic law of the ninja world. No matter how beautifully you dress it up, its essence won't change. And no one will violate it.

If you say that Haori's actions were bullying the weak… that's not accurate. But he was indeed using his power to intimidate them, because he could really beat the entire village and there wouldn't be any problems. This was no longer the time when he had to carefully hide in Iwa, and then pretend to be dead to escape.

Of course, Haori wouldn't be that cruel to do something like massacre the village. After all, he was still somewhat at fault. If they really charged at him, his choice would be to quickly leave with Kakashi and Tenzo, not to actually start a war.

The reality is that Takigakure couldn't beat Haori, nor could they stop him. So, their choice was very rational:

Of course, they forgave him!

But out of consideration for leaving behind beautiful hope and thoughts, Haori still made a promise to the village: If the tailed beast was resurrected again, he would provide after-sales service and come back to the village.

Konoha had received a large sum of mission money from them. This was a legitimate business transaction. They had to be honest.

This attitude made Takigakure's attitude more peaceful. At least, the tailed beast crisis was temporarily resolved…

The idea was good, but the reality was that until Zesetsu, the village head, died of old age and the younger leader, Zesetsu, took over, after years of long waiting, the tailed beast still didn't resurrect.

So, the old village head made a grand wish and a resolute vow before he died: After his death, he would turn into a stone bridge, enduring five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, and five hundred years of rain, just so that the Seven-Tails could cross this bridge…

Of course, this is all for later.

After dealing with the Seven-Tails, with their goal achieved, Haori and the other two left the village.

From beginning to end, they didn't stay there for even a day.

But in this short period of time, the unbalanced battle that took place not only stunned Takigakure, but also gave Kakashi and Tenzo a deeper understanding of Haori's strength.

While Kakashi was picking up heads on the battlefield under the name of genius, Haori was playing in the mud at the ninja school. And now, their strength was already on different levels. This proved a simple, real, and cruel reality:

Pay-to-win players are the best, especially those who are willing to put in the effort.

In the past, when Haori was dealing with this kind of target, he always preferred to use cannon attacks. But now, he didn't do that. This meant that he was confident that he could achieve a crushing victory over the tailed beast without using his trump cards…

In reality, the Invincible Windmill Shuriken does have a better visual effect than the Railgun, with both power and attack range—unless Haori launches another Gate of Rebirth.

But there were still questions outside of the battle.

"Haori, why did you kill the tailed beast? With your abilities and judgment, you couldn't possibly not know that you could have completely sealed the tailed beast before you delivered the final blow." Kakashi asked.

Haori's previous explanation was clearly an excuse to deal with Takigakure. Kakashi wouldn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it. So, he thought that Haori had a special reason for doing this.

At this time, the few of them were on their way back to Konoha. But unlike when they came, when they were pressed for time, the return journey was more leisurely. So, they didn't choose to fly again.

"It was just a matter of convenience. Don't you think tailed beasts are an anomaly in this world? They're violent and have incredible destructive power. Being strong is fine. The key is that they don't die… So, the existence of tailed beasts is heresy. I want to try killing them a few more times to see if I can kill them." Haori's explanation was half-true and half-false. In short, he meant that since he had nothing better to do anyway, he might as well fix a world-class bug.

Kakashi: "..."

What should he say? No matter what, Haori's actions were just needlessly increasing Konoha's workload. Tailed beasts can't die. That's the conclusion. They would have to repeat the Seven-Tails' sealing work later.

Haori could see Kakashi's reaction, but he didn't care. He had just said it casually. He didn't expect Kakashi to understand this approach. But after explaining this, Haori's footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Next, you two should return to Konoha and report this to the Third Hokage. I'm going to temporarily leave the team and return on my own later."

"Wait… what are you going to do again?" Kakashi asked.

Huh, why did he say "again"?

Generally, ninjas are strictly prohibited from leaving their team during a mission. And according to past experience, when Haori acted alone, it meant he was going to cause trouble. So, Kakashi was very wary at this time.

Although he couldn't stop Haori from doing whatever he wanted, he at least needed to find out what he was going to do.

"Tell the Hokage that I'm going back to the Swamp of the Land of Hot Water. He'll understand." Haori said.

If he was going to the Swamp of the Land of Hot Water, then that wasn't something to be suspicious of. Because Haori had been traveling back and forth between Konoha and the Swamp of the Land of Hot Water for years.

Was Haori telling the truth? That might make Kakashi feel relieved.

After saying this, Haori didn't wait for their further reaction. He quickly and decisively left the team.

Seeing this, Kakashi could only helplessly shrug.

"Kakashi-senpai, what do we do now?" Tenzo asked.

"What else can we do? Go back to Konoha as he said." Kakashi said. As for following Haori… first, he wasn't suspicious enough for that. Second, they would have to be able to keep up.

That guy could instantly teleport.

So, it's really annoying when you have a ninja who's very unconventional and loves to act independently, especially when this ninja is also very strong.

...

After the two of them left with a sense of pain, a moment later, Haori's figure reappeared in the same place.

It didn't matter where he performed the reverse summoning. He just didn't want the two of them to see the process. Because the place Haori was going to wasn't the Swamp of the Land of Hot Water at all.

In this situation, he just happened to be going to Ryuchi Cave.

He took out Orochimaru's vial of blood. He smeared some of the blood on his palm. Then, Haori began forming hand seals. Then, his figure disappeared.

"It's a bit dark." Haori muttered to himself.

The summoning didn't have any unexpected problems. He arrived in an unknown space. But it was supposed to be a bit dark. As the name suggests, Ryuchi Cave. Naturally, it had to be a cave. Insufficient light was normal.

But even though it was a cave, you could see the top when you looked up. In reality, the space here was very large, so there wasn't a sense of oppression. There was only coldness.

You can understand why. This place was actually a snake's nest. Who knows, maybe there would be a giant python disaster or something later. In a snake's habitat, there's no way humans could be comfortable.

"The problem is how to find the White Snake Sage. It looks like I might get lost here."

Haori was currently in a space similar to a central hall. There were paths in all directions. You could tell at a glance that this was a vast underground space. And trying to find a specific target in a space like this was definitely not easy.

In reality, even Orochimaru had found the White Snake Sage by chance.

So, should he really rely on his sensory abilities in Sage Mode?

But Haori didn't know that at the same time he appeared here, in a dark place in Ryuchi Cave, a pair of large, cold vertical pupils suddenly snapped open.

Haori had been causing trouble for ten years, and he had been reckless his whole life. This had led to him having enemies wherever he went, or at least people who didn't like him.

But in a place like Ryuchi Cave, rather than saying he had enemies, it would be more accurate to say he had enemies… snakes.

And it was a very MSIN: Chapter 296arrogant and conceited snake. So, it saw Haori as a piece of meat in its mouth.

This thing's only regret was that it never watched the news. It didn't know that Haori had just killed a being that was N levels higher than itself. It wasn't its fault. It was a tragedy caused by a lack of information.

Challenging Haori was like challenging Bear Grylls. Besides helping to prove that he was at the top of the food chain, it had no other meaning.

---

Despite Haori's various forms of "education," Mirai is still fundamentally a kind-hearted child. Having witnessed some unpleasant things, she sees Sasuke as someone worthy of sympathy… To put it simply, during taijutsu class, she can't bring herself to hit the deadpan expressionless Sasuke hard. But the human heart is a complex thing, and at her current age, Mirai doesn't fully grasp this. When she conveys her emotions to another person, the other person may not understand completely.

At ninja school, Mirai has become a top-tier elementary school bully. Because she's quite "brutal," most people don't want to spar with her in class. After all, it means getting beaten up, and nobody likes that unless they've awakened an M-personality at a young age.

But that absolutely doesn't include Sasuke.

As the strongest in the class, yet completely ignoring her, how would Sasuke feel? Does he disdain fighting her? What does that do to the Uchiha name?

He's in an extreme situation. Although his expression doesn't usually change much, his emotions fluctuate easily.

Therefore, he easily misinterprets kindness as condescension.

But what if the situation were reversed? At this stage, Mirai could easily beat Sasuke. How would he feel then?

The great "Uchiha" can't even beat a little girl? What about revenge, and the revival of the clan?

So, both sides are difficult to deal with.

Of course, Haori doesn't get involved in this messy psychological study. For him, it's better to check when Naruto will be able to cut the ice wall than to worry about how the sole surviving Uchiha is doing.

Before Mirai's class started, Haori decided to give Naruto a little reward.

Because his teaching methods are a bit Spartan, Naruto has recently started complaining habitually. But complaining aside, when it comes to training, he is quite serious.

Or rather, just the words "training" can improve his concentration.

In order to cut the ice wall as quickly as possible and complete his Wind Release chakra nature transformation training, his hands are almost constantly pressed against the ice.

No matter the season, cold ice always feels cold. Sustained close contact inevitably risks frostbite. In fact, Naruto's hands are always bright red.

He's probably half-numb from the sensation.

Although the ice wall has been cut with various deep and shallow, long and short scratches by Wind Release, it's still far from being cut in half.

But work and rest are important. It's time for Naruto to rest.

"Naruto, come here." Haori said to Naruto.

"What is it? I'm still training…"

He's not very happy. It seems Haori has interrupted his Wind Release training?

"It's nothing important. Seeing you training so seriously, I was going to teach you a jutsu as a reward. But you seem busy…"

"So, you're saying, don't interrupt…" Naruto only realized halfway through his sentence. "A new jutsu?! Really?!"

This is something he has always longed for. When did Haori become so easy-going?

"Of course. Do I have any reason to lie to you?"

"What kind of jutsu is it? Is it powerful?" Naruto was overly excited. Everyone has moments of intense curiosity.

"Extremely powerful." Haori thought. Without a good-looking jutsu to scare this kid, how could he increase his motivation to learn Wind Release? After all, it's time to give him a candy.

"This jutsu has a difficulty level of C, and the mastery level is that of a Genin. It can be said that the difficulty is limited. But to make this jutsu show its power, the problem isn't in the difficulty of training the jutsu itself, but in the fact that if you can't concentrate a large amount of chakra at once, then that kind of powerful thing can't be summoned no matter what."

Of course, in reality, if the user doesn't have enough "resolve," even if there is a clear contract, the summoned beast may not respond to the summon.

This situation is commonly known as the beast ignoring you.

"Anyway, I'll demonstrate it for you first." Saying too much might cause Naruto to freeze up, so Haori decided to go straight to practice.

From the simple explanation, you can tell that the first jutsu Haori is going to teach Naruto is the Summoning Technique. In terms of hand seals, it's not complicated, only five.

Basically, any ninja of any level can master this jutsu if they are willing to learn. But the problem is that there is a crucial prerequisite for learning the Summoning Technique… you need a summonable summoned beast. Otherwise, what's the point of learning it? Summoning fresh air from the wild?

Because it was a "demonstration," Haori didn't deliberately speed up when forming the hand seals. On the contrary, in order for Naruto to see clearly, he deliberately slowed down. But even so, Naruto could only see a blur.

As Haori finished forming the hand seals, a large amount of Byakugan chakra rose, and then a huge summoned beast appeared on the spot.

The Anbu ninjas hiding to the side were starting to twitch. Why do you like putting this kind of large display in the village? Don't you think the panic level is low enough?

Haori summoned the Splitting Dog. Among his summoned beasts, besides the Yata Mirror for transportation, this one has the most screen time.

Its size… honestly, it's not surprising that the Anbu were excited. Haori's yard was a bit too small for it.

Naruto's mouth had already dropped open. How else would you show his surprise?

Although he had seen the Yata Mirror before, flying creatures often don't have the same impact as ground creatures. And in terms of appearance, the Splitting Dog is the most ferocious.

Three heads, three mouths, six eyes, four legs, one tail, and a mouth full of sharp teeth…

This was Naruto's first time encountering this kind of large mammal. Just looking at the Splitting Dog, it's easy to imagine how powerful and destructive it is.

"So… so amazing!"

As he spoke, he actually walked to the Splitting Dog, reached out, and touched one of its legs. This is called the first intimate contact.

Sensing that an unfamiliar little kid dared to touch him, the Splitting Dog was about to bare its teeth. But Haori made a stopping gesture, and it instantly calmed down.

Well, the texture of this fur is still pretty good. Seeing that the other party wasn't resisting, Naruto had a sudden idea.

"Hey, Haori, can I touch its paw pads?"

Is this the legendary unexpectedness? What a unique idea…

But this time, it was Haori's turn to be shocked. To be honest, after taming the Splitting Dog for so many years, the words "paw pads" had never appeared in Haori's mind. The Splitting Dog's paw pads… those would be giant paw pads, a blessing for paw pad lovers.

"You can, if you don't mind being crushed to death." Haori said unkindly.

Naruto did well. There aren't many times when Haori is defeated.

But at this time, Naruto finally realized that he was visiting a zoo? No, he was here to learn ninjutsu.

"Can you really teach me this jutsu, Haori? Can I summon this kind of summoned beast in the future?"

"If you can learn it, yes."

"Great! Teach me quickly."

"Don't rush," Haori took out a scroll from the ninja tool bag behind him. Then, after forming hand seals, this ordinary-sized scroll instantly became gigantic.

He put the scroll on the ground and instructed Naruto, "Open the scroll."

Naruto squatted down and opened the scroll, and then he saw the names signed on it.

Haori continued, "This is the summoning scroll that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Upper白石 clan, but it has only been passed down one generation. To learn the Summoning Technique, you must first sign your name on it and leave your five-finger handprint…"

Yes, there's an Upper白石 clan in Konoha. This is correct. There's only one Uchiha left. Isn't he still the Uchiha clan?

Before Haori finished speaking, Naruto couldn't wait to half-lie on the scroll to sign his name. This was easy to understand. Just copy the previous format.

"Then what?" Naruto asked after signing his name.

"Then I'll teach you the hand seals. There are only five hand seals. They are very simple. The order is Boar, Dog, Rooster, Monkey, Sheep. While forming the hand seals, you should try to concentrate your chakra and release it at once. Understand?"

Haori spoke simply and clearly. But at this time, Naruto's IQ dropped again. "What are the Boar and hand seals you're talking about?"

Haori: "..."

He turned to the three onlookers and asked, "Haven't you learned the twelve hand seals at ninja school?"

Mirai: "We have."

Haku: "We really have."

Kimimaro: "We've clearly learned them."

But why did Naruto look so dazed, like he didn't know anything?

"Anyway… Haku, you're in charge of teaching him again." Haori had a headache. They were about to drive, but it turned out that the other party didn't even know what a bicycle was.

But it's not impossible to understand that Naruto would daydream in class. Or rather, it's too understandable. There are thirty people in a class at ninja school. If 25 people are listening attentively in each class, and 5 people are daydreaming, then guess which group Naruto belongs to?
