Chapter 18: Danzo’s Night Visit to the Uchiha

Sakumo, still fumbling with something, seemed preoccupied, Kawakaze thought. Perhaps he was still troubled by the persistent question of why his sister-in-law hadn’t yet gotten pregnant.

Still, Kawakaze wasn’t too concerned. He knew his nephew’s name was Kakashi, and such matters didn’t need rushing.

Meanwhile, his attention shifted to Kushina, who was looking at him with the curiosity of a child. Her bright red hair caught the light as Kawakaze gently ran his fingers thro...

Chapter 17: Koharu Utatane

Kawakaze and Sakumo stood in the shadows, their eyes fixed on Danzo as he departed, his face twisted with hatred.

“Why don’t we just kill him?” Sakumo’s voice was low, heavy with gloom, his words laced with unmistakable killing intent. His hand hovered near his blade, confident that a single strike would be enough.

“He’s of the same generation as the Third Hokage and holds a high-ranking position in Konoha,” Kawakaze replied calmly, his tone carrying a tinge of reaso...

Chapter 16: Political Ambitions

The morning passed uneventfully, with no further uninvited guests making an appearance. The bloody smell that had lingered in the corner of the dojo had also completely dissipated, as though nothing had occurred.

After lunch, Kawakaze stayed indoors, sensing that something significant might still happen before the day ended. In the afternoon, he focused on training Nawaki, helping him refine his movements into a seamless flow. The practice for the Flying Thunder God Technique was nearin...

Chapter 15: Root Ninja

"Sooner or later, you'll get what you want."

Kawakaze didn’t retreat. Instead, he leaned in closer, extending his right hand to gently lift Tsunade’s chin. Their gazes locked, his eyes carrying a hint of mischief.

Tsunade’s blush deepened as she took in his handsome face, now mere inches from hers, still adorned with that wicked smile. Embarrassed, she turned her head away, her voice softening.

“Kawakaze, I’m hungry.”

Nawaki stood frozen, his jaw slack in d...

Chapter 14: One Hundred Million Ryo

"I'm just guessing too. We'll know when the time comes."

Kawakaze didn’t explicitly say he had a hunch that the person would definitely come out and cause trouble. This was a significant variable for the figure lurking in the shadows. Since it was out of his control, that person would undoubtedly try to destroy or extinguish it in its infancy.

"I understand."

Sakumo Hatake nodded, though it wasn’t clear if he truly grasped the meaning. He pointed as if to affirm the thou...

Chapter 13: Breakthrough

Hatake Clan Dojo.

Kawakaze had stood motionless for so long that Sakumo thought his brother might have been possessed. After receiving a cold, detached response when he approached to check, Sakumo left in embarrassment.

Nearby, Nawaki finished his horse stance practice and transitioned into sword drills. The breeze stirred Kawakaze’s silver hair, which clung to his sweat-drenched face as he stood deep in concentration. His mental energy was stretched thin, his focus entirely on ...

Chapter 12: Hiruzen Sarutobi

Tsunade returned home to find that Nawaki and Kushina were already asleep. They had exhausted themselves practicing swordsmanship throughout the day.

After setting her things aside, she headed to the bath. Stripping off her clothes, she eased herself into the warm water, letting it envelop her body. As she soaked, her mind wandered to the events of the day, particularly her time spent drinking.

Images surfaced: her pulling Kawakaze into her embrace and pressing his face against he...

Chapter 11: Pure and Unblemished

Late Night, Kawakaze’s Room – Hatake Clan Estate

On a spacious, sturdy tatami mat, a man and woman lay entangled like an octopus, their limbs intertwined. The faint aroma of baijiu lingered in the air, mingling with the soft sounds of sleep.

Tsunade’s back was to Kawakaze, her iconic green windbreaker discarded on the ground. She wore only a short-sleeved undershirt, her relaxed breathing a testament to deep slumber. Kawakaze, meanwhile, had one large hand resting on her sof...

Chapter 10: This Woman Can Hold Her Liquor

By noon, Nawaki was utterly spent after a morning of rigorous training, his arms so heavy he could barely lift them. Fortunately, Tsunade was there. With a deft touch of her Mystical Palm Technique, she alleviated his muscle fatigue.

Kushina, ever the spirited one, leaned over to rub Nawaki’s arm a bit. The relief was instantaneous, making her wonder if it had been worth showing off so much strength.

"Alright, let's eat!" Kawakaze announced, his tone cheerful as he led the ...

Chapter 9: Opening a Hospital

Kawakaze adjusted Nawaki's posture before letting him continue practicing independently. The Senju clan's strong genes were undeniable, and Nawaki, inheriting their strength, had shown significant progress. The sword's weight posed no difficulty for him.

The Senju family also possessed classic Kenjutsu texts, and with Kawakaze—a skilled professional—teaching him, Nawaki was starting to show real potential. Tsunade observed him with satisfaction, noting his increased dedication compa...

Chapter 8: Flying Thunder God Slash

After drinking heavily, you sleep exceptionally soundly. If you use Chakra to cure your hangover, it would be a waste of the alcohol.

Kawakaze slept until morning. With no pressing concerns weighing on his heart, he rested well. He felt as though he was hugging something, and it was surprisingly comfortable. Reaching out, he gave it a squeeze—soft, unexpectedly so.

When he opened his eyes and looked over, he saw it was Onimaru. Why was the dog sleeping in his bed?

Disguste...

Chapter 7: Overplaying It

When Kawakaze returned home, Sakumo was nowhere to be seen in the dojo. His task-driven older brother was always absorbed in missions and training, keeping his social interactions to a bare minimum.

No wonder he took his own life in the original timeline. But now, with Kawakaze Hatake's deliberate guidance, the story was unfolding differently. At least Sakumo had someone to share his feelings with, preventing him from retreating so deeply into himself.

When Kawakaze ...

Chapter 6: Fugaku Uchiha

Nawaki’s meaningful glance was clearly ignored.

Kawakaze’s eyes practically overflowed. As a shallow man, he couldn’t help but envy his future self—and his future children—who would undoubtedly be well-fed.

Reluctantly tearing his gaze away, he finally bid farewell to Tsunade before leaving.

As Kawakaze reflected on the feast, Tsunade’s figure stood out in his mind—truly amazing!

Walking slowly home, he guessed his brother had likely already been to the w...

Chapter 5: Spatial Seal

“My respects, Lady Mito."

“Thank you for everything you have done for Konoha.”

As a member of Konoha, Kawakaze cannot claim to hold much respect for the Third Hokage. To him, the man seems simple-minded, a conspiracy theorist lacking genuine drive.

However, his feelings toward the ageless goddess standing before him are entirely different. Mito Uzumaki, willing to become a Jinchūriki for the village, commands his deepest admiration. Despite enduring pain, she continue...

Chapter 4: Mito Uzumaki

Kawakaze watched Tsunade’s swaying figure, following her with his gaze until she disappeared from sight.

“Come back to us.”
“Come back to us, Big Brother.”

Nawaki patted Kawakaze’s arm. His sister was gone—so why keep looking?

Could it be that his sister possessed some hidden qualities he hadn’t noticed? Nawaki’s small head swirled with big question marks.

“Ahem.”
A tactical cough.

“I was just thinking about my lost ideals.”

...

Chapter 3: First Meeting with the Brother-in-Law

Nawaki paused in the middle of the field, his gaze fixed on the strange ninja who had offered to guide him. Not just anyone could claim to teach him—his sister Tsunade was one of the Sannin, and his Sensei was none other than Orochimaru. He was curious to see what this Hatake ninja was capable of.

“This is Jōnin Kawakaze Hatake, and he’s also a good friend of mine,” Tsunade introduced, clearly addressing her brother's skeptical expression.

“Sakumo Hatake is no match for...

Chapter 2: White Light Chakra Sabre’s Demise

With tensions rising due to the actions of factions across various nations, Konohagakure had also begun to shift into a war-preparation mode. Many Jōnin had already been dispatched to gather intelligence, leaving only the elites of the various clans in the village to rest and recover in anticipation of the coming battles.

The Hatake Dojo stood large and imposing, a testament to the clan's martial prowess. Inside the arena, two figures moved with blinding speed, their blows exchanged do...

Chapter 1: Jōnin Meeting

“What are your opinions on Tsunade's proposal to include Medical-nin in the task force?”

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wore a serious expression, his low, commanding voice resonating through the Warfare Operations Conference Room.

A buzz of discussion erupted among the audience.

Kawakaze Hatake stood among the assembled Jōnin, his eyes gleaming as he watched the stage. He appeared to be in his early twenties, with silver hair, standing over 1.8 meters tall, and po...
