Naruto, all the ninja women love me, and Konoha depends on me.

Chapter 009: Never Open Your Mouth

Time passes.

Senju Wakama suddenly realizes that he hasn't heard "Wakama, you're crippled" anymore. Because of his proactive friendliness and interactions, he no longer randomly runs outside the clan grounds.

The misfortune of being "crippled" has been lifted from Senju Wakama.

Now, Senju Wakama spends his days practicing "Stealth Techniques" within the clan grounds, silently observing the daily routines of his family.

In the Warring States period, people had very limited forms of entertainment.

Adults could at least have children on the kang every night.

Children had even fewer options for fun.

Senju Wakama's daily entertainment now consists of: watching his younger sister beat up their fourth brother, Itama; watching his sister discipline their eldest brother, Hashirama; watching his sister trick their second brother, Tobirama; and exchanging wildflowers and herbs with his sister for poison or tasty snacks.

The brothers' daily lives are chaotic.

Only Senju Wakama remains detached, enjoying the spectacle.

At this point, Senju Wakama believes he has fully mastered the correct way to use his sister.

Whenever Senju Wakama gives his sister a small gift, no matter what it is, she always reciprocates.

The gifts his sister gives in return are always useful.

Senju Wakama's strength is growing rapidly, and his hidden cards are becoming more abundant.

Within a few months, Senju Wakama gradually masters two additional skills taught by Jue, besides "Stealth": "Deft Hands Technique" and "Lockpicking Technique."

"Deft Hands Technique": Allows one to silently steal anything from anywhere or quietly place items in a desired location.

At proficiency level one, the success rate of theft is 20%. At level five, the success rate reaches 100%.

When combined with "Stealth Techniques," the success rate of "Deft Hands Technique" increases by another 20% at night.

"Lockpicking Technique": As the name suggests, it involves using various tools to pick locks and disarm traps.

Senju Wakama needs to practice continuously to ingrain these skills into his body, making them second nature.

Soon, these skills come in handy. Senju Wakama practices "Stealth Techniques" relentlessly within the clan grounds. He understands the situation of the Senju clan better than most children.

Due to various objective reasons, the Senju clan has to face both the Uchiha clan and the Hagoromo clan simultaneously.

The Senju clan fights against two enemies at once. Even Tsukuyo's healing techniques are not omnipotent, and the Senju clan begins to suffer casualties.

Children within the clan are forced to join the frontlines, fighting alongside the adults.

As the sons of the clan leader, Hashirama and his brothers naturally lead by example.

An autumn morning.

The watery dawn light paints the eastern sky.

The autumn morning scenery is particularly special.

In no time, the forest will be ablaze with red, becoming the most beautiful place in the world.

Today is the first day the Hashirama brothers set foot on the battlefield.

All four brothers are called upon.

Before leaving home, Senju Wakama plans to bid farewell to his sister.

Due to his habitual "stealth," Senju Wakama stumbles upon an astonishing secret.

But when Senju Wakama uses Jue to locate his sister's exact position,

he discovers that she is actually sneaking on the roof of their brothers' house, spying on them.

Senju Wakama: "???"

Senju Wakama originally intended to stealthily approach his sister.

But Jue suddenly takes control of Senju Wakama's body without warning, causing him to freeze in place in a "stealth" stance, watching his sister's small figure from afar.

Before Senju Wakama can ask,

Jue whispers in his ear: "Don't go......"

Hearing Jue's warning, Senju Wakama doesn't struggle. Instead, he follows his sister's gaze into the distance.

In his line of sight is their fourth brother, Senju Itama, who has just finished putting on his armor and is walking out of the inner room.

Senju Wakama is puzzled but patiently and quietly observes.

Not long after.

Perhaps bored from waiting, Senju Itama suddenly stretches, and as he does, he opens his mouth, letting out a big, comfortable yawn.

At that very moment, something unexpected happens.

A bird that had been crouching on the roof beam suddenly flies above Senju Itama and, taking advantage of his open mouth during the yawn, drops a large pile of bird droppings.

The droppings land precisely in Senju Itama's mouth.

Senju Wakama: "!!!!"

What? This!

The sudden entry of bird droppings catches Senju Itama completely off guard. He looks stunned, his yawn cut short, and then his eyes roll back as he collapses on the spot.

Senju Wakama watches wide-eyed as his fourth brother, Itama, is knocked out by a pile of bird droppings.

At this moment, wild cats and guard dogs from the clan grounds emerge from the shadows, swarming in and working together to drag the unconscious Senju Itama into a dark corner.

Senju Wakama's lips twitch.

Having spent so much time with his sister, Senju Wakama knows that Tsukuyo has all sorts of bizarre drugs at her disposal.

It's clear that Tsukuyo used the bird to drug Senju Itama.

Then, she directed the other medium-sized animals in the clan to hide the unconscious Itama.

The drug's effects are hard to predict, but he will wake up on his own within a few hours at most.

With Senju Itama unconscious, he becomes an easy target.

If left where he is,

the adults in the clan will surely call for Tsukuyo to treat him once they find him unconscious.

To avoid this outcome, Tsukuyo plans to make Itama temporarily disappear.

The adults are already prepared to depart and won't delay their mission because of Itama's disappearance, nor will they waste time searching for him before leaving.

In this situation, the adults will instruct the guards and women staying behind in the clan to keep an eye out for Itama's whereabouts.

Senju Wakama recalls how he used to inexplicably suffer severe injuries or fall asleep in strange places with no memory of what happened before whenever he tried to leave the clan grounds.

Thinking of this, Senju Wakama's expression turns grim.

Could it be that he... was also...

No!

He can't think about this anymore!

Senju Wakama tells himself that he doesn't have the habit of carelessly opening his mouth outside.

At this moment.

From her high vantage point, his sister, with her beautiful face, reveals a kind and gentle smile.

Just as she is about to inadvertently turn her gaze in his direction,

Jue suddenly takes control of Senju Wakama's body, swiftly and silently moving him far away from the scene.

Now, Senju Wakama finally understands why Jue stopped him from approaching.

His sister is now a demoness who would feed her own brother bird droppings!

Only after reaching a safe place does Jue softly say, "When I taught you all these techniques, I told you that no matter what you do, you must assess the situation."

"When there's no war, your sister is an equipment producer. When there's war, she resorts to extreme measures to ensure your brothers' safety."

Senju Wakama's face turns green as he trembles and says, "Before... when I passed out inexplicably, could it have been..."

"You're overthinking it. She wasn't that strong back then. She couldn't communicate with animals at the time," Jue sighs. "But now... you've seen it, haven't you? When there's no war, be friendly. When there's war, stay far away."
