In a place that situated amidst towering mountain peaks and enveloped in dense clouds, the place exuded a breathtaking aura with its but rugged beautiful landscape that served as a natural fortress, offering both protection and a sense of isolation.

The architecture of the buildings harmoniously blended with its surroundings, featuring robust stone structures that convey a sense of durability and resilience. The buildings were adorned with intricate designs with clouds moving in between that made the scene more majestic, reflecting the village's rich heritage and dedication to strength.

The use of earthy tones in construction further enhanced the integration with the natural environment, creating a cohesive and visually striking setting.

This is Kumogakure which had one of the most iconic landmarks within Kumo village which is the Raikage building, a colossal structure that was visible to all in this mountainous lands.

In the Raikage's Office that is located in the highest point of the tower of the village and has the kanji for "Lightning" on the front. Inside the office you kind find a boxing bag and a painting with the kanji for "muscle" across the chair that the Raikage sat on.

"Fuck! is this information true?!" The Raikage said in a slight furious tone as he looked and clenched a newspaper that had a headline written in bold letters.

[ The emergence of a new Kage The Crimson Fang of Konoha ]

Th man was a very tall, dark-skinned with a largely muscular and well-defined build. He had a full head of blonde hair which flowed into his back along with a long beard. He had unusual eyes, which had green irides, dark sclerae and no pupils. His face has pronounced cheekbones and tear troughs under his eyes, and a prominent crease across his forehead with a mole above his right eyebrow. His top lip also had a darker pigmentation than the bottom one. His canine teeth were also slightly elongated. He has the kanji for "lightning" tattooed on his right shoulder.

His typical attire consisted of Kumogakure's distinctive, single-strap flak jacket with no other clothing underneath, a black forehead protector that he wore like a bandanna and a thick rope tied around his waist; with this he also wore dark blue sweat pants.

{ Third Raikage's picture }

"Unfortunately Raikage-sama, it's true" A young man replied calmly while standing in front of the Raikage with his hands behind his back.

He had short and spiky, dark-coloured hair that was largely obscured underneath a stylised forehead protector in the form of a hat. Along with this item, his typical attire consisted of the standard outfit of most Kumogakure shinobi including the distinctive single-strap flak jacket, as well as an eye patch worn over his left eye.

"Fucking hell! His father wasn't enough and now we have to deal with this punk!" Ay cried in anger as he looked at the picture of a crimson haired youth who had a large build and was looking at where the camera was clicking the picture with his arms crossed that revealed his muscular forearms.

Dodai was silent and in deep thought about this new powerhouse suddenly emerging.

"How in the hell our spies didn't inform us of this talented kid all this years ?!" Ay asked a little calmer with his eyes narrowed while looking at Dodai.

"Because no one knew he was this talented in the first place!" Dodai said.

"What do you mean by that ?" Ay asked.

"It's exactly as what I said Raikage-sama. our spies said that Konoha counsel themselves knew of this only some days ago. The kid was branded worthless for years but now that he was revealed to be powerful out of nowhere is also a shock to the people there." Dodai replied calmly while looking at a frowning Raikage.

"You sure they are not lying just to gather attention ?!"

"No Raikage-sama, they simply can't lie about this things to the world. Diplomatic relations with many countries and an astronomical amount of money is at stake here. If they lie, they will lose trust and many elites won't make deals with Konoha anymore which is something Hiruzen will avoid at all costs" Dodai said calmly as he went through the contents of some black book in his hand.

"Then how strong are we talking here ? Is he a bonafide Kage or just a slightly stronger elite jonin ?" Asked Ay with head rested on his hand while tapping the table with his other hand.

"No one knows" Dodai replied in a serious tone.

The tapping of Ay's hand stopped as he looked at Dodai with a frown "Explain!" He said.

"Well I think you should look at this" Dodai said as he handed Ay the black book which was already on a certain page.

Ay grabbed the book and went through its content which made his frown to deepen.

"Is this it ?!" Ay said with a frown while looking at information of Garou.

"That information suddenly got leaked by an unknown source in the underworld Raikage-sama" Dodai calmly said.

"No fuck I know that, but what's up with this little information! This is not enough to consider someone a Kage, are you sure they are not lying ?!" Ay said and asked.

"I am sure Raikage-sama, Hiruzen himself confirmed this to the news agency and later announced it to the village." Dodai replied.

"Hmph! That fucker must have something in his mind to boldly declare someone a Kage while the said person only has this pathetic excuse of Kage might!" Ay said in disdain while throwing the black book back to Dodai who calmly catched it.

"I think we should still be vigilant Raikage-sama, it's not wise to ignore this matter at all, and the fact that there are little information about him is even more suspicious!" Dodai said with a frown.

With a Hmph, Ay turned to look back at Garou's picture in his hand and focused more on his body which made him concentrate as he stared at his large muscles.

"Maybe you are right, especially now that I look at his body, this guy's body seems as if it was being under an electrical current as therapeutic process for years so to now look this muscular. Did our lightning therapy technique to strengthen the cells and muscles of our body got leaked outside or what ?" Ay said while eyeing Dodai.

"I doubt that, and I got the information that he constantly trains in his clan compound's training grounds. They also say that he has some sort of Kekkai Genkai related to body strengthening but this is not confirmed as the guy is known to have no chakra, but again, I doubt that he has no chakra or something of the sort as he is related to that Uzumaki woman Mito and she must have created a seal for him in this regard to hide which is all the more reason for us to be vigilant as nothing good will come out of anything that woman is involved in" Dodai explained seriously which made Ay nod in understanding.

"You are right! It doesn't make sense that a fucking ninja village will let something as simple as this slide past right under their noses for all this years, so Mito must be involved! But it seems you know what do with this so what do you suggest ?" Ay said while looking at the serious face of Dodai.

"It's simple, we do nothing!" Dodai said with a not nonsense tone.

"Explain"

"As you know, we literally know nothing about this newcomer except that little information that confirms nothing, so all we should do is wait and see how the bounty hunters will react to this!" Dodai explained and a knowing smirk appeared on Ay's face instantly.

"I know what you are getting at here... so because of little information and that pathetic list of abilities the guy has, many will think that he is just a fraud and will gladly try to assassinate him!" Ay said with the smirk still plastered on his face.

"There were many cases like this where the prowess of someone didn't match the information written in the underworld info book, although many will be vigilant but there is always that stupid guy who will try to gamble with his life and also another thing..." Dodai said and paused which made Ay listen attentively.

"The Tsuchikage MĂș's will be glad to get rid of another headache, his hatred for Konoha is far too much to not immediately do something about this talented guy, maybe he will even take action himself so as not let him grow further!" Dodai said which made Ay scowl first and smirk next as he thought about this.

"Hahaha, that mummy will definitely take action without a doubt. Ahh, now that you mentioned him, I don't know if I hope this guy should really be a Kage to beat that fuckerrr's ass up or not!" Ay said with a smirk while imagining MĂș all beat up and officially be in a funeral casket pu a smile on his face.

Ay relaxed on his chair as he looked at the ceiling of his office "Forget about this matter as I need to ask...My son A will turn 4 soon and his training will start, right ?" Ay asked Dodai with a smile as he remembered his feisty son.

"Yes Raikage-sama!"

"Then slowly start the operation of finding him a brother to create a tag team!" Ay ordered.

"Hai Raikage-sama!" Dodai let out with his bsck straightened like a devoted soldier which made Ay nod in appreciation.

"I know you have a lot of work to do, so we will talk about this matter more later, you can go now Dodai" Ay dismissed Dodai who left through the entrance door.

When he got out, Ay picked up the newspaper again and looked at the muscular young man. He jutted his jaw forward in displeasure "Tch! My muscles are still more beautiful!"

"If I meet him, I will create a breeding machine out of him if he doesn't tell me his secret to mucles tho!"

_______________

In a place that was filled with sandstone buildings with pointed roofs resembling dunes, surrounded by a protective wall, and its architecture harmonizes with the desert landscape. Villagers wear lightweight clothing for sun and sand protection, and the Kazekage's mansion stood proudly in the centre of the village.

A Similar discussion in Kumo was going on here...

"That's all Kazekage-sama!" A man in a white robe said to a slightly aged man.

"You can leave!" Shamon dismissed the man in robe in a tired voice.

He was looking at the picture of Garou posing in front of the camera with an indifferent face.

"Damn I don't have time for things that doesn't concern us... my research is going to finish very soon, so let's forget this, it's not like we will go to war with Konoha!" Shamon muttered to himself as he stood up and went to his lab.

In iwagakure inside the Tsuchikage office /

With his full entire body covered by intricately wrapped bandages, only his violet-coloured eyes and nose being visible, giving him an overall mummy-like appearance. He was donned with what appeared to be a standard Iwagakure's flak jacket and forehead protector, with the village distinctive single sleeve outfit over his left arm. He also carried two swords strapped to his back which had slender handles which were also bandaged.

[ MĂș's picture ]

MĂș was looking at the picture of Garou in his hands with a calculative gaze and thought how he should use him to his advantage.

"The information lacks detail which means even that guy Danzo doesn't know much about him which makes this more intriguing. Red hair, strong build, Genjutsu and mind manipulation doesn't work on him. There's a slight possibility that he is Uzumaki or somehow an Uzumaki that went through an awakening which made his hair turn red. Also, his relationship with Mito and her granddaughter makes me more inclined to this thoughts" MĂč muttered to himself while deep in thought about this new Kage emerging from an enemy village.

"Hmm, He is said to be chakra-less, even not having chakra coils which somehow turn things into nonsense, but he is said to have a unique energy momentum similar to chakra pressure that has paralyzing effects, and without chakra this is simply not possible, so let's say he uses chakra or something similar" He muttered again.

"The question is, how should I take him down before he becomes trouble ?"

______________

Surrounded by a thick mist, with several mountains in the background, making it difficult to find by foreigners. This place which kirigakure had architecture that is composed of several cylindrical buildings, with the Mizukage's office being the widest and largest. Most of the buildings have vegetation growing on their roofs.

Inside the Mizukage office, a man of both tall and slender stature. His face was accentuated by his relatively long, blond hair, which was worn in a combed-back style.

He had a triangular goatee, a thin moustache, no eyebrows, and very prominent lines at the sides of his mouth. His typical attire consisted of a long sleeved, high-collared, grey kimono, which has the pin-striped pattern that is common amongst the shinobi of Kirigakure. This article is worn over a dark-green suit, with a similarly coloured sash wrapped around his waist, and a pair of sandals which reached up to his calves.

[ Gengetsu's picture ]

With his legs rested on the table while looking at the newspaper with a large playful grin.

"bout another sprout from the landlubbers heh, Be this young man a force to be reckoned with, or be he just a mere bilge rat?" Gangetsu said as he threw the newspaper to a big man sitting boredly on a sofa besides one of the 7 swords of mist, Kiba.

The man seemed to be in his 30s, bald and shaved beard, yellow eyes, a face filled with scars and slightly brown skin tone.

[ GB's Picture here ]

"Ey me matey GB! Lay yer gaze upon that parchment. Methinks it holds some intiguin news" Gengetsu said and the threw the newspaper, GB catched the newspaper and looked at it for some seconds.

"Whoth in the fucking assth is this ugly and manly mothefucka ?!" GB cried as he looked the picture of Garou with a skeptical and disgusted look.

"Pahahaha! tis passable, he seems a decent enough soul tho, if ye ask me." Gengetsu said between laughs.

"tisth passable Fucking my sissthy assth, he lookth like a kid who went nutty on the grind becausthe of bullieth in hith childhood!" GB cried with spit flying everywhere, obviously having a lisp in his pronunciation, then he threw the newspaper back to Gengetsu.

"He be not lookin' too shabby, son, just a likkle on the muscly and browny side for the eyes, ya know? Some lass dem might not find it fancy, but still decent" Gengetsu said as he looked at the details of the newspaper before picking up a black book that contained the latest information about bounties in the underworld.

"I bet my assth on it, no man will find him even decent, just...just look at that fucking assth hair bruh! It lookth like-" GB got interrupted by Gengetsu.

"He be sportin' a manee like he never crossed paths with a barber, but let's keep it civil, mate – no need fi harsh vibes." Gengetsu completed his sentence while going through the details of Garou in the bounty book.

GB went silent for a moment before...

"His hair lookth like fucking legs that is spread!"

"PAHAHAHAHAHA" "BAHAHAHAHAHA"

"PAHAHAHAHHHA"  "BAHAHAHAHAHA"

*Bam*

They laughed their hearts out together while Gengetsu looked at the picture of Garou between his laughs that made him laugh more until he slipped from his chair and hit the ground.

"Bahahaha fucking assth weird dude! I will fucking blow his assth up with only my hipth, just look and see mothefucka!" GB declared and laughed in between.

"yo mind be on di wicked side, mate! Yuh a real mischievous one, hahaha!" Gangetsu said as he chuckled then he stood up and started to leave the office.

"Where tf you goin ?" GB asked as he also stood up and followed after Gengetsu.

"I be headin' to da club to link up wid some sweet gal, ye comin ?" Gengetsu asked playfully.

"Fuck yeah, time to taste some assth!!"

And they went out to enjoy their time like this without even caring about the recent events.

________________

All around the world, people had different reactions to this. Some cared and some not, but one thing is what they all knew is that, people will soon die and opportunities arise. some become rich and some become poor or won't even see the light of the day tomorrow.

So how will Garou will deal with all this hungry people is something he will have to deal with by shedding blood. Is he ready to do that or is he not ? Will he go a psychopathic route and cause destruction wherever he goes or not ? Will he be himself after this journey or not ? Will he make connections in a world filled with mentally challenged people or get disappointed like every single individual in this world ?

Sanity or insanity, which one is better ?

.

.

What he becomes and turns is a matter to see soon, and we will wait and see what future the fate of this world has decided for our ignorant friend here!

The End.
