Chapter 457
Because Nagato did not kill Jiraiya, some of the war narratives from the original work were omitted.
It simply became a discussion about peace.
You have to believe me.
Naruto, holding the book, spoke to Nagato with righteous indignation.
In summary, it can be summed up in one sentence.
"Believe me, it's because my name is Naruto, the same as the protagonist in the book."
"If the story changes, it deviates from Master's expectations, it becomes different from the book, and that's not Naruto at all..."
"Just as my master said, I am the chosen one... I will walk the same path as in the book, I will become Hokage, and I will bring peace to Amegakure and the entire ninja world! Believe me! This is Naruto Uzumaki!"
"..."
Nagato remained silent.
After a moment, he smiled, "Alright, then I'll believe you..."
Naruto Uzumaki's talk-no-jutsu once again demonstrated its power.
Nagato had believed in something for decades, suddenly believed in Naruto Uzumaki's evil ways...
377. Naruto Uzumaki, the Hero Who Saved the Village
Naruto Uzumaki completely forgot what he had said to Neji back then... about changing fate.
Now he turns to Nagato and says... "Child of destiny, believe in destiny."
I wonder what he was thinking at that moment.
Perhaps the promises made or the boasts made will never come true.
After all, once the person who raised the problem is dealt with, all the problems will disappear.
His ability to speak human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts fully demonstrates his true values.
At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki was filled with relief.
Because I saw my senior brother, who had made mistakes, reform himself and return to the right path.
What could be more joyful than this?
Naruto Uzumaki suddenly felt a sense of fulfillment, as if the right path had been laid before him, and he was raising high the banner of the Will of Fire...
Nagato completely forgot that he still had the "Demonic Statue of the Outer Path" at his disposal.
The fact that he could extract the Nine-Tails in a second and instantly kill Naruto Uzumaki...
They also forgot that his own combat power completely surpassed that of the Six Paths of Pain.
Even if everyone attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for him.
"By the way, senior brother, what are your plans next?"
Naruto looked at Nagato and Konan.
Since Nagato believed Naruto Uzumaki's lies, Konan naturally followed suit as well.
After all, Konan's existence depended on Nagato and Yahiko.
Just like Hyuga Hinata, she doesn't need her own thoughts at all; she only needs to think about "liking Naruto Uzumaki."
If one can live a life completely content, like Konan says, "I will listen to Yahiko and Nagato."
Completely devoid of self, these are the kind of female characters who are like inflatable dolls, a kind of wish-fulfillment fantasy.
"I need to recover first..."
Nagato raised his head and looked at Naruto.
"The crisis is far from over... We must be prepared to deal with it..."
"Huh?!" Naruto Uzumaki blinked, confused.
You're the leader of the Akatsuki Organization.
Why do we still say the crisis is not over?
"You mean... that guy, Amakawa Akito?!"
Naruto gets angry at the mere mention of Amakawa Akito's name.
"No..."
Nagato shook his head.
"He was an ambitious man no less so than Amakawa Akito... His name was... 'Madara Uchiha'!!"
The battle between the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization.
The game ended with Konoha emerging victorious.
Kiba and Akamaru were severely injured in the battle, but their lives were not in danger.
Because Chakra's Tsunade was completely drained by the Preta Path, her body was exhausted and she fell into a coma.
After collecting the remains of the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato and Konan planned to take them back to recuperate and rebuild the Akatsuki Organization, while preparing for the battle against Madara. Who ultimately belongs to the Akatsuki Organization? A final battle between him and Madara is inevitable...
Naruto Uzumaki and the others returned to Konoha.
Upon learning of the intelligence, Shikaku Nara's keen political sense immediately made him realize the situation.
At this point, we should do our best to publicize Naruto Uzumaki's contributions.
Then.
Following a deluge of political propaganda, Naruto Uzumaki became the "hero who saved the village."
Just like Minato Namikaze back then, he was pushed forward to create momentum and eventually became the Fourth Hokage.
Everything is politics.
But what no one expected was...
They were ultimately too late.
With Tsunade in a coma, Danzo, who had been hiding for a long time, suddenly Danzo an attack and seized power.
Ultimately, he took the stage as the Acting Hokage.
It became a shadow hanging over everyone's hearts...
Danzo stated... Konoha cannot be without Hokage for even a day.
Before Tsunade woke up.
I am the Acting Hokage!
Of course, Shikaku Nara and the others knew that Shimura Danzō's ambitions went beyond that.
He will definitely take advantage of the Fifth Hokage's coma to "transfer from substitute to official," that is, to become the "Sixth Hokage"!
Just when everyone was anxious.
Using the "Long-Range Water Technique," the Sage Fukasaku swiftly traveled from Mount Myōboku, a month's journey away, to Konoha, bringing back news of Jiraiya's defeat...
At the same time.
The border region of the Land of Fire.
The stronghold of the Uchiha Clan during the Warring States period.
As agreed beforehand, Sasuke found Itachi's true form.
In this place that symbolizes the history and past of the Uchiha Clan, the duel between the two brothers will bring everything to a close.
"How far can I see? Right now, all my eyes can see is..."
Sasuke entered the hall and gazed at his older brother sitting on the stone chair.
"That's how you died, Itachi!"
"How I died..."
The weasel closed its eyes and looked up.
"Then... show me again!"
Before he could finish speaking, Itachi suddenly appeared behind Sasuke and thrust out Kunai.
The duel between the two brothers has begun!
First came the probing with Taijutsu combat.
Sasuke quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
In terms of basic attributes, Itachi absolutely surpasses Sasuke.
However, Sasuke at this moment possesses the White Snake Power and the Cursed Seal, which greatly enhances his physical abilities beyond his basic base capabilities.
After a series of exchanges.
Itachi tells Sasuke that this is all Genjutsu.
Sasuke was naturally aware of this as well.
What Sasuke most wanted to know was...
"That guy... is he your accomplice?!"
Sasuke refers to Tobi... also known as Madara, another member of the Uchiha Clan with the Sharingan.
"No matter how powerful you are, you can't possibly kill all your clansmen by yourself!"
"You noticed..." Itachi said calmly, acknowledging it.
The thought of killing was planted in Sasuke's heart.
He was prepared... no matter what, whether it was acting or a temporary compromise, he would kill "Madara" one day!
Itachi: "However... Sasuke, it seems you don't have the same eyes as me..."
Mangekyō vs. Mitsudomoe.
This is a qualitative difference.
At this moment, Obito Uchiha, Black Zetsu, White Zetsu were already silently observing the battle.
Only when Itachi Uchiha dies before my eyes can I find peace...
"The Mangekyō Sharingan, this kind of eye is very special..."
In Itachi's narration.
Sasuke learned most of what the Mangekyō Sharingan all about.
Including how to open one's eyes.
And... the Mangekyō Sharingan will gradually lose its light with use.
So.
"Sasuke!!"
Itachi suddenly changed his calm expression and revealed an exaggerated facial expression.
"To me, you are my newfound light!! Your eyes are my backup eyes!! Come... little brother!!"
378. Sasuke, Amakawa Akito killed your father.
The brothers' sparring began with a battle of Genjutsu.
With Sasuke's Three-Tomoe Sharingan and Cursed Seal... until Itachi's Tsukuyomi is broken.
Of course, all Hokage know this.
Itachi was seriously holding back.
