Konoha's White Fang
Looking around Konoha's afternoon street scenery while eating dango after a long day of Dailies, Rengoku saw someone familiar in his vision. the previous life him that is.
"Yo, Mr. Old Man over there" said Rengoku with a smile.
"Me?.." Hatake Sakumo look left and right while his right hand index finger aiming at himself.
"Yes, you have white hair like the grandpas i saw around konoha, they play cards with their neighbor all day long" it's his first time meeting this famous guy that made an exception to Shinobi Rules , allowing them to run away in case they met him on the mission just like future Minato when he's called the Yellow Flash.
Meeting Hatake Sakumo while he's alive is an honor, he respect his belief and his interpretation of the Will of Fire, Politics always made everything dirty, damn Danzo.
'Such a happy coincidence.., is he on vacation?'
This guy is Naruto equivalent of Dracule Mihawk, then he might as well be Roronoa Zoro, he need an opportunity to ask Sakumo to teach him Kenjutsu without it being suspicious.
'Don't want him to suspect me being sent by the clan, as far as i know, he's a nice guy so the chance is quite high that he will accept regardless'
At this time he should be a Jonin leader , a Hokage candidate and without political maneuver from the Hokage Faction he will be the next Hokage, maybe then the distrust and paranoia of Konoha with Uchiha clan should subside a little and with time all of them can get along.
Having Senju Tobirama's disciples as the decision maker on your life is like having sword of damocles hanging on each Uchiha clan member neck, no wonder they talk about rebelling all day long.
Before their conversation can go further, he heard a sound of wood breaking with a sharp crack along with a solid thud.
"Stop right there Criminal scum, nobody breaks the law in my watch, i'm confiscating your stolen goods, now pay your fine or it's off to jail" an Uchiha clansmen with a patch of four circle and four pointed star along with table tennis symbol said with a mocking smile.
"Damn Uchiha clan, you think you're the shit huh? this is excessive violence!, Police brutality! , i will report this to the Hokage!" said the man with dark skin color while lying on the ground bruised from the beating he took in the left eye socket, only to take another one in the right one.
'Yep, that's Uchiha for you' nodding in approval, Rengoku doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Everyone in the commercial street is watching this act of violence unfold with frown in their faces.
Tobirama is damn political genius.
***
He understand Uchiha better than themselves, can't praise him enough for his dedication , He Is a Man of Focus, Commitment and Sheer Fucking Will to fuck the Uchiha clan.
'That's how it is huh Tobirama, i can only do the same to your Grandniece Tsunade then, Kekekekekuhahahahaha' he was very close to trigger the [True Uchiha] laugh out loud on the street.
"Yo, old man you think what they're doing is correct?" looking at Sakumo in the corner of his eyes Rengoku simply ask the elephant in the room to him.
Seems like a mindless child question but he was actually checking Sakumo attitude to Uchiha in general.
"I'm not an old man brat!, name is Hatake Sakumo" thinking about the question the little kid ask of him, Sakumo know that at their age the impression they have on the world around them might change for some minor things like asking stupid question.
"Someone have to do the dirty job kid, that's how the village and society stays working, beating him in front of an onlooker is unnecessary however"
'Interesting , not as simple as he looks, no wonder he can have Kakashi as a son, it runs in the family huh?'
"What if they don't have a choice but to do that?, what then?" still looking at the scene, Rengoku spoke in a low, hushed tone, barely audible to anyone else in the vicinity.
Sakumo wasn't sure what the kid meant by that last question, but he knew the village and the uchiha's problem can't be solved easily, he met the advisor and Hokage almost daily, though concealed he knew they don't trust the Uchiha clan.
'Interesting kid, but if you want to change something then you need power to convince others' thought Sakumo.
"Follow me kid" said Sakumo with a smile, while turning back and walking away from the scene.
Looking at Sakumo moving away, Rengoku thought that this might be his chance , he would be a fool to waste it.
Walking quite far without talking with each other they soon arrived at a clearing , full of sword slash marking, a wooden training dummies lay in halves from what clearly look a clean and fast precise cut, which Rengoku can assume Sakumo's private training grounds.
"Do you know what a sword is?" said Sakumo while looking at the kid with black short hair and black eyes, a common uchiha clan trait.
"It's a weapon obviously" said Rengoku
"You're not wrong, but you're not right either"
"You know what a lantern is?"
"A sword is like a lantern, it will guide your way in the darkness but it also needs fuel to light it up"
"A lantern fuel could be anything burnable with oil like substance it also needs a wick. but a sword fuel is your faith, conviction, belief and will. with your heart and courage to move in the darkness knowing there's only a lantern on your hand that separate you from the darkness that is self doubt, confusion and fear"
"Just like the Will of Fire" said Sakumo with a huge smile.
'Are you fucking kidding me old man, i was getting engrossed in your story and you bring the Will of Fire to it'
Not only he know what a lantern is, he also know the lantern oath.
'In the brightest day, in the blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light!' thought Rengoku with a huge grin on his face.
Getting himself a wooden tanto from god knows where , Sakumo throw the thing to Rengoku. "Show me what you got , kid"
Holding the short wooden sword, Rengoku lunge toward Sakumo position while thrusting the sword forward aiming at his belly.
Only for Sakumo to swipe a side kick to toward his body, prepared for this, Rengoku stopped his forward movement and jump to the side while kicking Sakumo's thigh to do a backflip getting away from his kick.
'He's testing me' thought Rengoku while switching his wooden sword to reverse right hand grip while putting it behind his left hand.
"Hooh, taijutsu ? not bad , How about this.." said Sakumo before disappearing from his vision.
'Should i activate sharingan? ,no there's no point, when he's just testing my resolve' thought Rengoku while looking around with his sharp black eyes.
'Behind!' but it was far too late, he got a nice foot print kick in his ass which made him face planted in the grassy dirt.
"If that's all you got, you can't change anything kid" Sakumo said with a smile putting his hands in both of his pockets.
Getting himself up from the ground, Rengoku thought that if this wasn't a training and Sakumo was an enemy , he knew he was dead.
Then he will treat this test as a real one, [Sharingan]!
'Hooh, nice pair of eye, let me see your determination kid' thought Sakumo before disappearing again.
