Chapter 554

Kakashi then looked at Akito, waiting for Akito to answer his question.

"Kisame Hoshigaki."

Akito turned to look at Kisame.

"You don't need to rush into suicide, because I don't want to extract anything from your head."

It differs from the original work.

At this point, Kisame had not yet sent out the intelligence.

"You..." Kisame's playful laughter turned serious.

"You serve 'Akatsuki' simply because you're tired of this false world and want to enter the 'Eye of the Moon.'"

Akito told him.

"But how do you know that the Eye of the Moon is perfect?"

"..."

Kisame silent.

A moth drawn to a flame, a yearning for light, a sliver of hope—perhaps that's all there is to a person like him.

"Simple and uncomplicated ideas are easily exploited."

The Akito shook his head.

"Like you, I loathe this corrupt old world. And I... am gradually changing it. So be it, I will eventually unify the ninja world and transform this planet into a paradise on earth. And in our Land of Rain, we have already begun to achieve this... You can go and see for Land of Rain."

The travel permit and such will naturally be taken care of for him.

"After you have seen the kingdom I rule, then decide whether or not you wish to enter the Eye of the Moon."

Let the facts speak for themselves.

Let the facts refute them.

What I can't do in the Bloody Mist, I can do.

The ninja world that Hashirama Senju couldn't unify, I can!

"How?"

Akito asked the question.

The seed of doubt was planted in Kisame Hoshigaki's heart.

His beliefs will definitely change once he goes to the Land of Rain in person.

The Akito were quite certain of this.

At that time, it will be about turning Kisame Hoshigaki against his will and redeeming him.

473. Watch closely, Naruto, this is how Kushina is used.

"..."

Doubt, caution, disbelief...

A variety of emotions surfaced on Kisame's face.

He slowly stood up and retreated cautiously.

Finally... he plunged into the water and quickly left.

He would inform Obito Uchiha about information regarding the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, as well as intelligence on the Raikage's conversations with the other Kage and the arrangements for the Allied Shinobi Forces.

This kind of covert intelligence gathering.

That's very much in line with Obito Uchiha's style of hiding his true intentions.

And what is called a "positive strategy"?

It's all about crushing everything head-on!

No matter what Obito Uchiha plans, we can just crush him with brute force.

The Akito had strong confidence in this.

According to the plot development.

Next, Obito Uchiha should probably make his move against Konan.

Unlike in the original story, Itachi is still alive.

Perhaps Obito Uchiha with Kabuto Yakushi ahead of time.

This is the safest option.

With the trump card in his hand... Kabuto, who is actually "Madara Uchiha," will naturally help Obito Uchiha obtain those eyes.

The Fourth Great Ninja War will then commence.

By then.

Crown Prince Naruto will continuously upgrade, eventually becoming the ultimate embodiment of the theory of bloodline.

Based on this alone.

Afterwards, Akito will head to Akatsuki Organization's headquarters to check on the battle situation on Konan's side.

Before that...

Let's go...

Akito said to Kushina.

Now that Naruto Uzumaki has mastered the Golden Body Mode, there's no point in him staying here.

Of course, before leaving, we should give Naruto Uzumaki a little more motivation.

"... Uzumaki Kushina."

Kakashi: "!!"

Yamato: "!!"

The two people's expressions changed abruptly.

It was observed by Killer B, Motoi, Sakura, and Naruto Uzumaki.

Kushina trembled, completely at a loss.

Incredulous gazes swept over her figure.

Kakashi's expression turned utterly astonished.

Because, Uzumaki Kushina is his teacher's wife's name...

"Kakashi- sensei?"

Naruto Uzumaki finally noticed something suspicious.

Swirl...?

He noticed the surname that was exactly the same as his own.

And that red hair.

Could it be...?

"She's from the Uzumaki Clan?!"

Although the Uzumaki Clan was wiped out, there are still rumors of the Uzumaki Clan survivors in the ninja world.

What Naruto Uzumaki didn't know was...

The Uzumaki Kushina before us is more than just an orphan of the Uzumaki Clan...

"Kakashi- senpai, what exactly is this...?" Yamato, looking puzzled.

Smack

Kushina took a step forward.

Taking that first step signifies her choice.

The direction she walked in was the same direction the Akito were heading.

"Kakashi- sensei."

Sakura realized what was happening.

"If I remember correctly, Uzumaki Kushina's name is..."

Before the operation to rescue Gaara.

Sakura, who has become Tsunade's disciple, sneaks into the Hokage's office and steals confidential documents.

That's when I learned that there are Nine Tailed Beasts in the world.

They also learned that the previous Jinchūriki was named Uzumaki Kushina.

And now, the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has appeared here, how can anyone not be surprised?

"The previous... Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Naruto understood instantly after hearing Sakura's explanation.

No wonder, it's in the mental space.

The Nine-Tails will recognize her.

"But, won't Jinchūriki die if the Tailed Beast is extracted from them...?"

Naruto didn't understand.

Unless, like when Chiyo resurrected Gaara.

"Naruto."

Sweating profusely, Kakashi decided to tell Naruto the truth.

"Kushina... she's your mother!!"

"!!"

Everyone, including Naruto Uzumaki, froze in place.

Kakashi- sensei... what did you say?

Because of the overwhelming shock, Naruto Uzumaki's mind went blank for a moment.

"Naruto ..." After the truth was revealed, Kushina looked at him with a pained expression.

Because of the mask being worn.

Kakashi and Yamato didn't recognize her immediately.

At this moment, their identities are revealed.

Kushina slowly removed her mask.

A sorrowful expression graced her beautiful face.

Years have passed, but your appearance remains unchanged.

Just like Kakashi and Yamato remembered her.

"Really..."

Kakashi was now absolutely certain that the person before him was the Kushina he knew.

"Kakashi- sensei, you mean... this is Naruto's mother?!"

Sakura covered her mouth in shock.

Then she must be... the Fourth Hokage's wife?!

But Akito's next sentence plunged the room into complete silence.

"You did a good job... the mission was successfully completed."

The Kushina Akito praised Kushina.
