Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

"Huh... that... it seems to be the Third Tsuchikage's daughter - Haitsu!"

After observing from a distance for a while, Sarutobi Ayase noticed the naked woman lying motionless beside Kenshi's feet. She seemed familiar.

As an ANBU member, she naturally knew about the Third Tsuchikage's direct relatives. She had at least seen their photos.

Haitsu, the Third Tsuchikage's most beloved daughter, held a status in Iwagakure comparable to Princess Tsunade.

She was also a hot beauty with a memorable figure. Sarutobi Ayase had a clear memory of her appearance.

"Are you sure?" Sarutobi Tenjū asked.

"I'm sure." Sarutobi Ayase nodded.

She formed hand seals, strengthening the connection between her closed left eye and the ink bird's vision.

The naked woman under Kenshi's feet had the same appearance as the photo of Haitsu she had seen. She was certain that it must be Haitsu.

"I see."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Tenjū realized, "That guy went to the Land of Earth before. That's why we couldn't find his trail on any of the islands in this sea area."

"But..." Sarutobi Tenjū was puzzled, "Why did that guy capture the Third Tsuchikage's daughter, Haitsu?"

Kenshi didn't know that capturing Haitsu would drive the Third Tsuchikage crazy. He would definitely send a powerful ninja squad to find him.

Based on his understanding of Kenshi's cautious personality, he shouldn't have done something like this to bring trouble upon himself.

Strange... Sarutobi Tenjū couldn't figure it out.

"Maybe... he doesn't know Haitsu." Sarutobi Ayase guessed.

"That's impossible, isn't it?" Sarutobi Tenjū was unsure.

Kenshi's identity before he possessed Kimura Yō was very mysterious. The Third Hokage had been collecting information about powerful ninjas who used the Spiritualization Technique for a long time, but he had never found any clues.

But whether it was the Third Hokage or Sarutobi Tenjū, who had heard about Kenshi from the Third Hokage, both father and son believed that Kenshi must have lived for a long time.

Living for a long time meant knowing a lot of information... but... he might not know everything.

Haitsu's identity was indeed very high. She was very important to the Third Tsuchikage. But according to the intelligence, her strength was only that of an ordinary jōnin.

Moreover, Kenshi had been staying in Konoha for six years. It was understandable that he wouldn't know Haitsu's identity.

At this point, Sarutobi Tenjū was leaning towards the idea that Kenshi didn't know Haitsu's identity. Capturing her wasn't a deal with Iwagakure.

So, why did Kenshi capture Haitsu... Thinking about the fact that Haitsu was a beautiful woman, Sarutobi Tenjū glanced at his wife, thought for a moment, and didn't say his guess out loud.

He thought that Kenshi must have been feeling horny.

Otherwise, there was no need to bring a big trouble with him.

...

"Hmm... is he going to enter the Storm Sea?"

Late at night.

The moon hung high in the sky.

Sarutobi Tenjū and his wife, who had been following Kenshi, saw that his flight path hadn't changed. He was flying straight towards the Storm Sea. They were surprised.

They had guessed that he had been in the Land of Earth. Now, it seemed that wasn't the case.

Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why Kenshi, after coming out of the Land of Earth, was flying directly towards the Storm Sea.

"Could it be that he was actually in the Storm Sea before?" Sarutobi Ayase pondered, frowning.

"It must be." Sarutobi Tenjū nodded.

"Should we continue following him?" Sarutobi Ayase worried, "We don't have many ration pills left. If we get lost in the Storm Sea, we..."

"Don't worry."

Sarutobi Tenjū smiled, "Even if we don't have many ration pills left, we definitely have more than Kenshi. He's not afraid, so we can definitely outlast him. And..."

Sarutobi Tenjū's eyes flashed. He said confidently, "There must be an island in the Storm Sea. Otherwise, Kenshi wouldn't be so determined to enter the Storm Sea."

They could find the island where Kenshi was staying, determine the location of the island in the Storm Sea through the map, and then use the island's location in the Storm Sea to determine their direction. They wouldn't have to worry about getting lost in the Storm Sea.

Then, they could withdraw.

Judging from the fact that Kenshi had gone straight to the Storm Sea after capturing the Third Tsuchikage's daughter, he must be planning to hide in the Storm Sea for a while.

So, they didn't have to worry about Kenshi disappearing for now.

Instead, they could use this time to leak the information about Kenshi's location to the Kumogakure and Iwagakure, who knew about it. They could then launch a surprise attack, observing from the sidelines to see if they had a chance to seal Kenshi.

"Understood." Sarutobi Ayase and her husband were very in sync. As soon as her husband said it, she knew what to do next.

The ink bird flew parallel to Kenshi, seven kilometers away, towards the depths of the Storm Sea.

Meanwhile.

Venomous Snake Island.

At an altitude of five thousand meters, a huge gray-brown eagle hovered, flapping its wings. Its sharp eyes were observing the surroundings as its head swayed.

On the back of the giant eagle, a Kumogakure ninja with thick white hair formed hand seals with both hands. His eagle eyes were also observing the surroundings as his head swayed.

This was the Third Raikage and his team, who had come to capture Kenshi.

The Daruma family ninja was responsible for aerial surveillance.

The Third Raikage and his three other elite bodyguard jōnin were responsible for the area below.

At this time, in the shallow waters around Venomous Snake Island, a Kumogakure ninja was using Water Release Concealment Technique to hide in the seawater.

Around the wooden house on the mountaintop, the Third Raikage and his two other elite bodyguard jōnin were using Earth Release jutsu to hide in the rocks.

All four were prepared to ambush Kenshi as soon as he returned.

They had found Venomous Snake Island last night, but Kenshi wasn't on the island.

But the four of them, from the wooden house on the island, as well as the bed and chairs inside the house, guessed that Kenshi must have made this his permanent residence.

He wasn't here now, so he must have gone out to buy supplies. He would definitely come back sooner or later.

Meanwhile, the Third Raikage also got a guess from observing the wood of the house, which made him excited.

Kenshi not only knew powerful sealing jutsu but also Wood Release.

This island was small, and the interior was rock. It was impossible for large trees to grow to build a wooden house.

Kenshi couldn't have transported wood from other places to build a wooden house here.

So, there was only one answer.

This wooden house was built using Wood Release.

Of course, the main reason was that the Third Raikage sensed a familiar aura from the house, the life aura brought by Wood Release.

He had witnessed the First Hokage, Hashirama, dominate the ninja world. He had also seen the battle of the Valley of the End with his own eyes from afar.

He had a deep memory of the power of Wood Release and the aura of the trees created by Wood Release.

Seeing the wooden house that Kenshi had built, others might not think of Wood Release, but the Third Raikage instantly thought of the First Hokage, Hashirama's Wood Release.

As the ninja village most enthusiastic about researching and replicating various kekkei genkai, the Third Raikage dreamed of getting his hands on Wood Release.

He also believed that Konoha was eager to recreate the First Hokage, Hashirama's Wood Release, which had pacified the world.

Seeing Kenshi's wooden house, the Third Raikage was certain that Konoha must have conducted experiments on the Wood Release recreation project.

And Kenshi was the lucky one who had successfully inherited the First Hokage's Wood Release.

But it was clear that Kenshi's Wood Release wasn't powerful enough yet.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chased all the way by Konoha.

But just because it wasn't powerful enough now didn't mean it wouldn't be powerful enough in the future.

"We must capture him before he grows up."

"Otherwise..."

The Third Raikage was both excited and secretly uneasy.

The information that Kenshi knew Wood Release made him excited, because once they captured him, it meant that the Kumogakure had a high chance of replicating the First Hokage, Hashirama's Wood Release.

But at the same time, the fact that Kenshi knew Wood Release also meant that Konoha's Wood Release recreation experiment had been successful.

No one knew how many "Kenshis" Konoha would have in the future.

Just thinking about the future war against Konoha, a group of Wood Release ninjas using Wood Release to bind their Tailed Beasts, while Konoha's Nine-Tails could fire Tailed Beast Balls without restraint, made the Third Raikage's scalp tingle.

He couldn't let that scene happen.

So... he had to capture Kenshi as soon as possible, research the Kumogakure's own Wood Release, and make the Kumogakure dominate the ninja world.
