Back in his bedroom, Kaede Hatake sighed deeply, a hint of helplessness on his face.
In his past life, he was named Kaede, an orphan.Then, after a nap, Kaede found himself in the world of Naruto.He became the eldest son of Hatake Sakumo, and the older brother of the future Sixth Hokage of Konoha, Hatake Kakashi.His name also changed to Hatake Kaede.
When Kaede first transmigrated, he was extremely excited.He felt he could become famous throughout the ninja world, defeating Madara and kicking the Otsutsuki clan.However, he had transmigrated from the womb, and his body had to start growing and developing from infancy.
Due to the limitations of his infant body, Kaede could only vaguely perceive his surroundings.Although the core within him was the soul of an adult, an adult soul simply couldn't control his weak body.He was awake for very little time each day.
This confused and disoriented state continued until he was over a year old.It was at this time that Kaede officially began to develop the cheat ability he was born with—the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from the One Piece world.Kaede had been aware of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit within him since birth, but due to the limitations of an infant's body, he had not been able to develop it until now.
For the past five years, Kaede has focused primarily on physical training, secondarily on developing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and incidentally practicing other ninjutsu.The ninja profession is characterized by high attack but low defense; a single powerful attack can be devastating, but it can't withstand the assassination attempt of a single kunai (yes, I'm talking about you, Hashirama Senju).The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's elemental transformation allows Kaede to disregard physical attacks, but a strong body is always an advantage.
Over the past five years of training, Kaede's physique has grown stronger and stronger, in conjunction with the development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.Kaede's body has become increasingly compatible with the lightning element in nature, increasingly resembling a body that was naturally in sync with lightning.
"We need to keep working hard; only with strength will we have the confidence to overturn the table."
...
Meanwhile, Tsunade, who had displayed her prowess in the Ninja Academy office, returned to the Senju clan's ancestral home with Kushina.
After all that commotion, Tsunade's drowsiness had long since vanished.
When he got home, his younger brother, Nawaki, had already returned home as well.
"Sister, Kushina, you're back!Let's go eat at Grandma's!"
"Eat, eat, all you ever do is eat." With that, Tsunade kicked Nawaki in an annoyed tone.
"Wow~ Sis, what happened again?Why did you kick me?" Rope Tree jumped up and down, rubbing the spot where she had been kicked, and complained angrily.
"What, you're not convinced?Do I need a reason or time to beat you up?Just looking at you annoys me." Tsunade immediately suppressed Nawaki's rebellious attempt.
After kicking her own brother, Tsunade's frustration at having her sweet dream disturbed completely dissipated.
"Let's go, Kushina, let's go eat."
After speaking, Tsunade took the lead, smiling broadly as she led Nawaki and Kushina towards Mito Uzumaki's courtyard.Kushina followed happily, while Nawaki, looking resentful, unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks at Tsunade's retreating figure.
Entering a quaint courtyard, one sees a kind old lady seated at the head of the dining table.The passage of time has not left deep marks on her face.Her red hair is tied in a bun, and a diamond-shaped mark adorns her forehead.Her eyes, weathered by life, occasionally glance gently at the three people who enter.
"Grandma~" Tsunade, Nawaki, and Kushina called out at the same time.
"Sit down and eat!"
The table was already laden with a variety of dishes, quite a lavish spread.Tsunade, Kushina, and Nawaki sat down around the table.During the meal, everyone was quiet, even the usually boisterous Tsunade and the usually boisterous Nawaki fell silent.This was probably a rule of the large clans!
After the meal, Mito patted Kushina's head and asked, "Kushina, how was school today?"
"Hmph~ Those classmates made fun of my hair color.But I beat them all up.This afternoon, when I was going to find Tsunade-neechan, I was blocked by three brats with a ninja.But that ninja was easily defeated by Hatake Kaede-senpai."
"And another thing, there's this blond pretty boy in our class, his name is Minato Namikaze.His dream is also to become the 'Hokage'.Although I think Minato is a bit of a pretty boy, he's kind of my first friend!" Kushina sat next to Mito Uzumaki, chattering away.
"Hmm~ You got blocked at the door?Why didn't you tell me?Also, who is Hatake Kaede?" Tsunade sipped her tea and kicked Nawaki again.
"Hiss~ Hatake Kaede?" Nawaki rubbed the spot where he had been kicked, recalling for a moment, "Oh, you mean him!He's in the same grade as me but not in the same class.He's the son of Shiroba-senpai.He has a nickname, 'Violent Kaede,' because he's beaten up all the troublemakers in every class."
"Oh ho ho, Sakumo-senpai's son is so violent, he's nothing like Sakumo-senpai at all," Tsunade said with a smile.
"Hey, it's that guy Uchiha Kawa again."
"Hmm~ How did we get involved with the Uchiha clan again?"
"Uchiha Kawa was a little genius of the Uchiha clan, and he was in the same class as Hatake Kaede.In our first year, our class and their class had a practical training class together, practicing throwing shuriken.Sis, you know, the Uchiha clan is very good at throwing shuriken, and they even developed the 'Uchiha Shuriken Throwing Technique'.As a result, in that shuriken throwing class, Hatake Kaede and Uchiha Kawa tied.They both became the first place winners in the shuriken throwing class."
"If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter.But Uchiha Kawa felt that only he could get first place, so he asked the teacher if he could fight Hatake Kaede.As a result, he was beaten up by Hatake Kaede in no time.That afternoon after school, Uchiha Kawa had black eyes."Going home.
"Defeating Uchiha Kawa made Hatake Kaede famous overnight, and since he's also very handsome, many girls like him.Quite a few girls in our class like him."
Tsunade chuckled upon hearing the gossip, then looked at Kushina with a teasing gaze and said, "Oh ho~ Kushina must be under a lot of pressure!Handsome boys are always popular with girls, unlike some people."
"Tsunade-neechan, you.you're talking nonsense.Grandma, look at my sister." Kushina said, burying her flushed face in Mito's arms.Mito gently stroked Kushina's hair, smiling with satisfaction.
"Sister, just get to the point.Why are you dragging me into this?Grandma." Rope Tree sensed a deep malice.
Am I as bad as you make me out to be?I'm your own brother, your own brother.What sister would mock her brother for being ugly?
"Tsuna, let Nawaki continue."
"Alright, alright!Rope Tree, please continue."
"Hmph~ I don't.I'll just have a sip of water." Nawaki was about to make a move when he saw Tsunade's fist appear.Nawaki immediately took a sip of water.
